Salted Fish Zombie

Chapter 43

In the morning, Gui Sheng woke up feeling a bit confused. It was almost time for breakfast, yet Ning Su and Blood Doll were still asleep. He nudged one and then the other, and as they groggily opened their eyes, they saw each other's weary expressions.

Blood Doll crawled out from her swaddling clothes, tilting her head slightly. With her bloodshot eyes, she gazed intently at Ning Su, seemingly contemplating something.

Ning Su sat up in bed and asked her, "Ah Fei, why did you wake up so late? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Blood Doll averted her gaze, lowered her head, and picked up a bottle, latching onto the nipple.

Gui Sheng: "Hmm?"

"Su Su! Why haven't you come out yet?" Zhu Shuangshuang shouted from outside the door. "Breakfast is about to begin!"

Ning Su and Gui Sheng hurried to the bathroom to brush their teeth side by side, quickly washed their faces, and then came out.

"It's really strange. You're not so enthusiastic about eating today," Zhu Shuangshuang wondered.

Ning Su replied, "I'm just really tired."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "..."

After looking tired and listless for a while, Ning Su looked up with a somewhat happy expression and said, "Even when tired, we must protect our little seedling."

Zhu Shuangshuang's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what Ning Su meant.

He confirmed that Little Gu Witch's ghost friend, the oil-painted wooden puppet, was of the same type as Bu Bu and Slime.

The Gu Witch also had a ghost friend that could go out.

A relaxed and happy smile appeared on Zhu Shuangshuang's face. "Su Su, do you know, when you said yesterday that there wouldn't be much food to eat here, I suddenly felt a sense of security, as if we were about to clear this instance?"

"Ah, the previous instance was the same."

Zhu Shuangshuang said, "It seems like I should go with you to those instances where there's nothing to eat or nowhere to stay, the ones with harsh conditions, like a zombie apocalypse instance."

Ning Su: "..."

Two people were talking as they descended the stairs.

Gui Sheng walked with two ghost friends following behind them.

Blood Doll pulled on his shirt. And previously, Zhizhi would also get close to him, especially when they were going down the stairs and it felt a bit scared. However, this morning, Zhizhi stayed far away from him, pulling on Zhu Shuangshuang's skirt instead.

Gui Sheng glanced at one ghost friend, then at the other, and noticed that the two friends were keeping their distance and not looking at each other.

Gui Sheng: "Huh?"

Because Ning Su woke up a bit later than usual, most of the players had already gathered when they came downstairs.

There was a strange silence in the atmosphere of the dining hall.

Soon, they found out why.

On the long dining table, Shi Tianzhu and Little Gu Witch sat at opposite ends.

Shi Tianzhu was the same as before, wearing a loose skirt, with a cool expression and an indifferent demeanor, her usual appearance.

But Little Gu Witch was very different from before.

He tied up the hair that had been hanging in front of his face.

After washing it, his hair didn't have that healthy and smooth texture, nor did it have a shine. It appeared slightly yellowish, like autumn grass, tied into a low ponytail at the back.
