"Captain, do you think we should go back to the camp or to our own base?" Dong Ming carefully ask as to not awaken the sleeping little man and a little kitten snoring on the corner.
The Captain followed Dong Ming's gaze and saw the snoring pair on the other side curled and embracing each other. Surprisingly, it gives him a bit of fondness watching the pair of a little man and a kitty sleeping innocently. His chaotic mind and grieving for the lost of a good comrade suddenly eased and his mind became calm and peaceful. "The camp. We can't risk being followed into our own base." the Captain's gentle eyes turned cold again remembering those teams that betrayed his group and secretly ambushed them until they were pushed to part ways to escaped safely while being followed by traitors and even tailed by a group of high level zombies on the way.
"Good. I think the others will also go back to the camp first. I hope they are safe and okey." Dong Ming said and then asked again. "Right, should we also take him back with us?" Dong Ming pointed to the sleeping He Qian.
"Could be." the Captain simply answered. Meaning, if the guy wants to go back with them then they will definitely bring him back with them seeing that he seems to be a good guy.
"Being alive out there alone. How could this guy survive for long looking so soft and fragile like that? We must definitely bring him with us, Captain Fu! Look, what if he meet some malicious people once we left him alone. Ah! With his good look, tsk tsk! Let's not leave him."
Understanding what Dong Ming meant. The thick brows of the handsome captain meet as his eyes flickered coldly and narrowed dangerously. A sense of protectiveness suddenly rise in his heart for the little guy who he meet only that day which confused his torpid heart. "Yeah." he muttered without realizing that he actually said it as his eyes became soft again.
"Good! Now that we can move let's find a good burial place and them check the killed zombies of thier high level crystal core."
"Hm."

When He Qian was awaken, he was suddenly in panic realizing that the men he save were gone and he was already alone in that room. But seeing the pile of important things neatly arrange beside the place where they lay he breath a sigh of relief knowing that those guys were only gone for a moment to maybe buried their dead friend and to give farewell.
While alone, He Qian was thinking if maybe he could ask those guys to take him with them and ask them a little favor of bringing him home. What he mean 'home' is to the family of the original He Qian knowing that those good-for-nothing people are living a comfortable life right now as he suffered outside and alone. But he still have worries, is it good to trust people he doesn't even know? In this chaotic and dangerous world, the danger not only lies to the scary monster eating zombies but even with the darkness in the heart of the people. Can he really risk to trust people now? And another worrisome thing is, who is actually willing to have a weakling and normal person like him(means no ability) adding to thier group to take? With a complicated emotion, He Qian leave the room to try to find those men since he can't wait for them anymore. He decided, if he find them on the way he would try to thicken his face to ask them for help but if he can't then he will continue to journey alone. With the sleeping Xiao Xiao in his arms he head outside.
Who would've expected that the exact moment He Qian goes out is when those men had just arrived back to find for him.
When Xiao Xiao was awakened, He Qian had already reached far since he had decided to go back on his own. Afterall, with Xiao Xiao beside him who can sense zombies or people even from a long distance, he was confident enough to make it. Using the memories of the original He Qian added with his good intelligence 'cough!' he already knows what to do. Also, he was calculating, those men he save seems to be not just anyone who can be easily offended or messed with which is a perfect people to ask for help but still, what if they are a people with a lot of enemies and if the saw him with them it could be of his disadvantage in the future. He might be overthinking but it's good to think for the worst ahead of time and decide than regret it later. Also, he still have a way to go back and, he was thinking of something else to do on the way. And that is to find the mutated animal that Xiao Xiao seems to feel but can't point where. With his weak body and fragility, more powerful mutated pet animals is a good thing. Very, good thing!
What He Qian calculated unexpectedly happened as a group of tough looking hooligans in group came to find Captain Fu and Dong Ming for a trouble. What happened next? We can leave it to them.
He Qian only rested for a while and continue to move as he excitedly asked, "Can you really detect him now? If that's true then that mutated animal could be somewhere near this place now!"
*meow!*
Xiao Xiao's cute and furry little paw pointed a direction as he wag his cute little tale excitedly inside He Qian's arms. He Qian did not think twice and followed that direction. A certain soft and cute little kitten pointed the direction and a cute and charming man happily follows, their set up continued for hours until Xiao Xiao told him to stop. "What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
*Meow! Meow!*
He Qian was more worried. His Xiao Xiao told him that a two powerful high level zombies seems to have a quarrel and was fighting fiercely to each other. They can't go on anymore and must retreat to leave the place hurriedly or those zombies might accidentally notice them and it would surely be a nightmare end for them both. He leave with a heavy heart and sighed.
*Meow!*
Xiao Xiao rub his soft little face to He Qians chest and He Qian gently caressed his soft little head with his fingers. "It's ok, Xiao Xiao. We will get another chance to find it again at the right time."
He Qian continued to journey again and again escaping troublesome zombies again and again as he finally learned to kill few low level zombies on the way. He realized that as days goes by, his weak and fragile body had slowly adapt to hard struggles as he can finally run a meters without panting so much as he gets used to running quickly everyday as survival instinct and that his thin arms and legs was not too soft anymore in carrying heavy things or doing hard things on the way.
A month later, He Qian completely gained good reflexes and good endurance to run faster for escaping away even if it would takes three hours or more without stopping. Really a good improvement! He even felt like more healthier now than in his last life although the height and the body is a lot opposite than in his last life.
Standing infront of the familiar huge wall in his mind infront of him. He Qian smiled haughtily. "Ah! Xiao Xiao! We are finally home! Let's go meet Mommy and Daddy and some Evil Sister and a dummy ex hihi!"
*meow!* Xiao Xiao, the same as his owner give a toothy haughty smile thinking in his heart that 'we made it all thanks to me. I am so amazing! My owner can only be proud of me.'
