When they arrived at the small automobile shop where the thugs were hiding, Bai Meiyue saw a few zombies lurking around the front of the shop. She assumed that these must be Xie Yi’s gang members and sure enough she heard a soft whimper beside her.
"Little Zheng, Little Yao... you fools, why did you not run inside when you saw these dangerous things coming?" Xie Yi muttered as he stopped the motorboat in front of the shop and looked at the raised platform where the two zombies were moving along with four and five other zombies.
"You stay here," Bai Meiyue told the man and climbed out of the motorboat before rushing at the zombies. She chopped their heads off with the dagger in her hand as well as her special abilities. Of course, she was careful, as she did not want to disclose her special power so easily. The concept of supernatural beings was still unknown.
If she was caught, then Bai Meiyue was worried that the higher-up officials would try to recruit her for the sake of their protection. She only wanted to create a decent living environment for her son where he could grow up without any worries. She had no plans on becoming an official.
Thus, Bai Meiyue controlled her strength and dealt with the zombies swiftly before taking out their zombie nuclei and absorbing them. Of course she left a few in her space pocket without using them.
She then turned to look at Xie Yi, who was staring at the corpses on the ground and stated, "I took care of them because I know that you will not be able to kill them; don’t blame me for being harsh."
Xie Yi, of course, did not blame Bai Meiyue. He knew that his brothers were not going to return now that they had turned into these scary monsters. He was glad that Bai Meiyue had taken them down and had not asked him to do it but it didn’t change the fact that he mourned them.
After wiping his eyes, he raised his head and said to Bai Meiyue, "Don’t worry, Boss. I know that there was no point in keeping them alive; I will certainly not hold their deaths against you."
Bai Meiyue nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Xie Yi was smarter than he looked. In her previous life, there were often times where people clung to their loved ones even after they turned into zombies and if she was to kill them, they would call her murderer and even try to attack her many times.
Some were crazy enough to plan revenge and even tried to kill her.
Compared to them, Bai Meiyue liked dealing with smart people like Xie Yi.
Xie Yi walked over to the shutter and then tapped on the metal surface lightly. "Baozi, are you inside?"
There was a clang followed by a yelp and soon the door on the side of the shop was opened.
A man with a baby face looked at Xie Yi in relief and whispered, "Boss, you are back? Come inside. Hurry, or else those things will come here."
Xie Yi didn’t waste any time and entered the shop with Bai Meiyue.
