In the next few days after, they stayed in place to recuperate from their injuries while destroying the roots of the zombie tree one by one.

It's just that the rhizome of this tree is too wide. Under the barren ground for several kilometers, the roots of the zombie tree can be seen when the soil is turned over.

If you want to defeat this tree using ordinary methods, it is simply impossible. The tree can survive with only a little root left.

However, Lin An's super power was so powerful that all the water on the roots was drained. Xu Fang used his super power to stir up the soil. The roots buried deep inside were dry and brittle, and after a slight stir, they became Debris.

They checked everywhere, even in the distant forest. Even the furthest roots were all dead.

Knowing that the tree was completely dead, they were relieved.

The hundreds of survivors in Muling City buried the bones of their clansmen in the forest, but never left.

When Xu Fang and the others were turning over the soil to check the condition of the roots, they kept wandering around and wanted to help. No matter how unpleasant Xu Fang's words were, they just bowed their heads and remained silent.

Xu Fang was so angry that he didn't leave even though he had let them go. He was an eyesore here every day.

Ouyang Dong saw through the thoughts of these people. They just wanted to be scolded because they felt guilty. Not only did they feel guilty for involving strangers like them, but they also felt guilty for killing each other with their own tribe, and felt guilty that they could only rely on sacrificing their own tribe. Come and live.

Now that they are scolded every day, maybe it will make them feel better.

After Xu Fang found out, he stopped scolding them and just regarded them as nothing.

In addition to these annoying Wood Spirit City survivors, there is another thing pressing on a few people's hearts.

Lin An never woke up.

Zombies are not breathing, so the dry little zombie has been lying on the bed, like a dead corpse.

They waited for a few days and tried again to wake Lin An up, but there was no response from him.

Several people were a little anxious, but they didn't know what to do.

Thinking that it was like this because his powers were exhausted, they also wondered whether Lin An could be restored to his original state by replenishing water.

At first, I just sprayed him with some water, using a small pink watering can brought from Lin An's house, and sprayed him at a fixed time every day. Unfortunately, this method was not very effective. Lin An still looked so dry. Spraying water is of no use at all.

In the end, the few people who had no choice but to take the wrong approach could only try other methods.

Lin An felt as if he had returned home to Chuxi City. He was lying on a warm bed and sleeping, with the soft quilt covering him, and his whole body seemed to be melting.

Home is the safest place and the place where he feels the most comfortable. He lay in the quilt for a long time and did not want to wake up. He just wanted to continue like this.

However, the warm quilt soon became hotter and hotter, and Lin An gradually couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to kick the quilt away, but when he kicked it, it seemed that he had hit something hard, and his feet hurt a little.

He forced himself to open his eyes and wanted to see what was on his bed and why his feet hurt. But when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome face very close to him.

"Are you awake? It seems that this method is indeed effective." Shen Xiuze looked at Lin An, who was still a little confused, and asked, holding his shoulders.

Lin An blinked, and his brain slowly came back to consciousness.

He remembered, he defeated the tree, and fell asleep.

And this sleep was very comfortable. After becoming a zombie, he never slept again. Even if he didn't feel sleepy physically, he couldn't fall asleep. However, he had been a human for more than 20 years. , if you don't sleep at night, you will still feel mentally tired.

Now that I have had a good sleep, the whole zombie is more energetic.

He smiled at Shen Xiuze. He had not yet realized his current situation, thinking that he had just slept for a while.

It was when Shen Xiuze saw that he was awake and asked him if the water was hot that Lin An noticed his surroundings.

They were by a river in the forest, and could still hear the sound of gurgling water. They were surrounded by lush trees, and Lin An was actually in a wooden barrel at this time. The barrel was filled with hot water, and he was soaking in it. In hot water.

The most important thing is that he is naked.

The barrel was not very big, but the height was almost up to Lin An's shoulders. At this time, Shen Xiuze was holding Lin An's arms, trying to bury his entire body in the water, and at the same time, he had to be careful not to will be flooded.

Shen Xiuze was standing outside the barrel. Just after asking Lin An whether the water was hot, he saw the other person glanced down, and then the whole zombie froze in place.

The light gray complexion turned red in an instant.

Lin An's cheeks turned red, he pushed away Shen Xiuze's hand that was holding him, subconsciously hid in the water, and whispered shakily: "I?, I? Why, naked??" Shen Xiuze saw Lin An Now that he was able to move

, he let go of his hand. At first, he didn't think anything was wrong. After all, both of them were men, and there was no taboo. But looking at Lin An, whose cheeks were red and extremely shy, he suddenly felt a strange feeling. sense of embarrassment.

It's like he really did something bad.

He felt weird in his heart, but Shen Xiuze's face was very calm: "It's not like he's naked. He's still wearing underwear."

As soon as he said this, Lin An dived directly into the water.

Although the water was very clear, the steaming wooden barrels were covered in mist, making it difficult to see the underwater scenery clearly.

Shen Xiuze originally thought that Lin An was just a little embarrassed and would come out on his own later, but there was no movement in the barrel and the water surface was calm.

The zombie does not need to breathe, and there is no bubbling on the surface of the water, so it is impossible to tell what he is doing underwater.

Shen Xiuze waited for a long time, then suddenly wondered if Lin An had fainted again, and immediately reached out to fish out the zombies in the barrel.

Soon Lin An was picked up by someone's arm and fished out of the barrel.

He was a little angry, but the angry Lin An still looked very soft, and he was shy, so he spoke with a trembling voice: "You, what are you doing?" "You haven't come out for a long time

, how can I?" I fainted again." Seeing that Lin An seemed still shy, Shen Xiuze comforted him: "It's okay, we are all men, there is no need to be shy, Grandma Wu and Wu Duo are in the RV, Xu Fang and Ouyang Dong are taking Xiaofu with them. Go dig the roots of the tree, there is no one else here."

Lin An knew it, but he just couldn't ignore the person in front of him, and he had never been so honest with anyone.

It should be said that he was the only one who was naked, while the other person was neatly dressed. In comparison, the embarrassment was even more obvious.

"First, let me go." It's completely impossible to tell that Lin An was showing off his power just a few days ago, killing a huge zombie tree instantly. He now looks like he's being held by his ears. The rabbit didn't dare to move at all.

Shen Xiuze let go of his hand, and seeing his embarrassed look with lowered eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he turned and walked out: "Okay, you can soak here first. There are towels and clothes outside. If you feel uncomfortable, just call me."

Lin An nodded frantically and found that Shen Xiuze couldn't see him, so he immediately said, "I know, I know."

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief when he smelled Shen Xiuze's breath stopping somewhere not too far away.

He buried himself in the water again, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and the embarrassment in his crimson eyes gradually dissipated.

By the way, why is he in the barrel?

And I just kicked the barrel, so my feet hurt a little.

After staying in the water for a short while, Lin An came out of the water, dispersed the water from his body, put on his clothes and walked slowly to where Shen Xiuze was.

Still two or three meters away from the other party, Lin An shouted softly: "I'm ready."

Shen Xiuze had heard his footsteps long ago and didn't turn around until Lin An said something. Looking up and down? Lin An.

Although he was already very familiar with it, Lin An was still a little uncomfortable facing this kind of inquiring gaze. He quickly glanced at Shen Xiuze and asked softly: "Me? Why, in the water." "You're already in the water." I was in a coma

for seven days."

Lin An opened his eyes wide in surprise, seven days? He only felt that seven days had passed since he had slept.

"Your powers have been overused, and your skin has become dry and dehydrated. You haven't woken up yet. I really have no choice, so I put you in the water to see if I can wake you up." In fact,

Lin An has been soaked in the water for three times . One day, they made a bucket out of wood from local materials, and then put him in it and kept soaking it.

Because his body was cold, Grandma Wu was worried, so she even boiled hot water.

He said he was afraid that Lin An would catch cold.

Shen Xiuze had never heard that zombies could catch colds, but this was Grandma Wu's kindness, and he did not refuse.

However, this method of boiling zombies did have some effect, because the dry skin gradually became softer.

Even in the past three days, when Shen Xiuze saw that he hadn't woken up, he began to wonder if it was because he had swelled after being boiled in water for too long.

Fortunately I woke up.

"Thank you." He hasn't woken up in the past few days, everyone must be very worried.

Shen Xiuze rubbed his hair: "Are you okay? Is there any discomfort in

your body?" Lin An felt the state of his body and found that there was nothing abnormal, and his spirit was much better than before. .

"It's okay." Shen Xiuze breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, they left the river and met Xu Fang and Ouyang Dong who were cleaning tree roots. From a distance, they saw Lin An following the boss. They immediately stretched out their arms and howled like two excited gorillas. Shouting? Run over.

Lin An looked at the two people who ran directly towards him at a loss. He was also very happy that everyone was okay and seemed to be in good spirits, but this way of celebrating was still a bit exciting for him.

Both of them seemed to want to give him a hug, but they were covered in dirt at this time. When they were cleaning the roots of the tree, they quarreled and quarreled out of boredom, and in the end they even fought over some trivial things. , like a mud monkey every day.

At this time, they were so excited to see Lin An that they forgot that he was mysophobic and just wanted to express their excitement and gratitude with a hug.

But in the end, before they could reach Lin An, they both stopped.

Because Shen Xiuze stood in front of Lin An, blocking the passionate embrace between the two.

Looking at the boss with cold eyes, they remembered that Lin An not only had mysophobia, but also didn't know how to deal with such overly enthusiastic behavior.

"Brother An, you are really our god, our eternal god, you are so awesome. If it weren't for you along the way, we would have been doomed a long time ago. Knowing you and the boss, you are really my god." The luckiest thing in my life." Xu Fang couldn't help but said excitedly.

Ouyang Dong was not much better than him. After all, the scene of that day was still vivid in his mind. The shock Lin An gave him was unforgettable: "I thought so too, Xiao An, you are really the one I have seen." The most powerful superpower, even if placed among zombies, would definitely be a Zombie Emperor-level figure. You are really too strong, you have simply broken through the limits of human beings."

Lin An couldn't help but praise, the blush on his cheeks lingering for a long time. , the happiness in his eyes almost overflowed.

And then when they entered the RV, they were praised again by Grandma Wu and Wu Duo. After all, if Lin An hadn't been there that day, they would probably have died.

Lin An's whole body was swollen by the praise, and finally he looked at Shen Xiuze with bright eyes.

He glanced at Shen Xiuze, his eyes wandered around for a while, and then took another look.

There is a sense of deja vu as if a child has done something good and is waiting for praise from the teacher. He wants to be praised, but he doesn't want to show it too obviously.

Very restrained.

But he looked very much looking forward to it.

Shen Xiuze looked at it funny, but also a little distressed.

A few words of praise can make him so happy, not only because he is simple-minded, but also because when he was a child, all he received were negative responses. Even if he did well, those with malicious intentions would only ridicule and ridicule him. .

Therefore, everyone's praises are of great significance and precious to him.

"It was my greatest luck to be picked up by you that day." Although we met him late, it didn't prevent him from being hurt, but it's not too late to start now.

Lin An tilted his head, and in Shen Xiuze's words, he slowly recalled the day when he and the other party first met.

Well~ He went out to look for food that day, and then he found Shen Xiuze and planned to drag him home and eat him.

Then...

he remembered that on the way that day, because he couldn't drag the other party, he held the other party's feet upside down and dragged him all the way home.

Because of his good memory, Lin An could even recall the sounds Shen Xiuze made while hitting his head on the ground.

From the unfinished building with gravel and debris everywhere, to the hard cement road, and the stairs one after another when going upstairs.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The voice echoed in my head.

He took a small breath.

This should be bad luck, but it's really bad luck.

He looked at Shen Xiuze and hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but say a belated greeting.

"Is your head okay?"

Shen Xiuze: "..."
