Chapter 234: Helping the Senior Commander

After watching for a while, Ning Shu noticed that the senior commander was among them. The senior commander’s hair now had strands of white and he looked much older than before. He was currently fighting with the group that had come later.

The senior commander had awakened his special ability. It was a surprise attack type, but it wasn’t very strong so he had to use it in combination with firearms.

“Xiao Ming, hurry and call the zombies.” When Ning Shu saw that the senior commander’s side seemed to be at a disadvantage, she hastily told Xiao Ming to call help.

“GRR GRRR…” Xiao Ming immediately gave an enormous roar that was so loud, it reverberated in Ning Shu’s head.

When the two groups heard Xiao Ming’s roar, they stopped fighting and looked around nervously. One of the groups then ran back to their car to flee.

When Ning Shu saw that the people who had come from the base were gone, she hastily ran towards the senior commander, but the people left immediately pointed their guns at her.

The bright light from the flashlight pierced her eyes as it illuminated her face. Ning Shu hastily said, “Senior Commander, I’m Daisy.”

The senior commander’s expression wasn’t very visible in the darkness but his voice contained suspicion. “Daisy, weren’t you killed by a zombie? I heard Phoenix say that you had become a zombie. How could a zombie still speak?”

“This matter is pretty complicated. Senior Commander, lower your gun first,” said Ning Shu.

“Lower your guns,” commanded the senior commander. Then he pointed his flashlight at Ning Shu again and swept it up and down to get a better look at her. “Are you a human right now or a zombie?”

“Zombie,” replied Ning Shu honestly.

When the others heard that she was a zombie, they immediately pointed their guns at Ning Shu and Xiao Ming again. Xiao Ming growled softly at these people, but Ning Shu calmed him, then said to the senior commander, “Senior Commander, trust me, I won’t harm you. Why are you guys leaving the base so late at night?”

“Why were those people trying to kill you?” She continued.

“Lower your guns,” commanded the senior commander again. Then he said to Daisy, “It’s good that you’re alive. Wolf and Phoenix have taken over the base and betrayed the country. The higher ups have all pretty much been killed by Wolf. I drank the gene essence you gave me and was fortunately able to awaken a special ability. The reason Wolf left me alive was because he wanted to get me on his side. However, I chose to take this chance to escape with my subordinates and was discovered.”

When the senior commander saw that Ning Shu was with a variant zombie, he understood that Daisy really had become a zombie. He just didn’t know how Daisy had been able to retain her memories after she had turned into a zombie.

As expected, the male and female lead had still ended up on track to becoming base hegemons. Ning Shu asked the senior commander, “Then where are you guys planning to go next?”

“We’re going to find a new base and start again. There’s no way we can continue to stay in that base, it’s already been taken over by Wolf and Phoenix.” The senior commander’s tone when he talked about Wolf and Phoenix was very complicated. The subordinates that he had personally trained ended up betraying him.

Ning Shu thought for a little bit, then said, “Senior Commander, why don’t we escort you to a new base? That way, you guys don’t need to worry about encountering zombies on the way.”

“This…” The senior commander hesitated. When he finally spoke, he sighed, “There’s no need, we can go by ourselves.”

“Senior Commander, you don’t have to be polite towards me. We’ll just follow you as you travel until you guys find a base. Then we’ll immediately leave,” suggested Ning Shu. It would be good to be able to help out the father-like figure that the original host respected and loved.

“Alright, then just follow from a distance.” The senior commander walked closer to Ning Shu and said quietly, “There’s no need to follow too closely. The men of today are sadly degenerated, and variant zombie crystal nuclei are very rare.”

Ning Shu nodded.

Following that, Ning Shu and Xiao Ming followed the group from a distance to accompany the senior commander in his journey to find a new base.

The group usually couldn’t sense Ning Shu and Xiao Ming’s presence at all. At the same time, no zombies attacked them.

This situation caused some people in the group to start feeling ambitious. Some even tried to convince the senior commander to control Ning Shu. However, whenever Xiao Ming heard something like this, he would dig out the heart of the instigator and eat it in front of everyone.

As the senior commander had said, the men of today were sadly degenerated. These people didn’t feel any gratefulness for their protection and even wanted to use them.

Humans truly had insatiable greed.

#comment: Author must have forgotten that she wrote zombies could see in the dark. Ning Shu should have been able to see the senior commander’s expression just fine.
