Chapter 64 – WuYi’s about to recover

Editor: xiaoxiao
Proofreader: crazyformyself

After learning about Bai Mei’s secret, everyone discussed and finally decided that all of them would return to WuYi Base first.

To avoid beating the grass and startling the snake, Bai Mei couldn’t leave WuYi Base at present, and in order to more conveniently study Bai Mei’s medicine and Sislow’s sound wave, Wei Hanming and the others also had to go to WuYi Base temporarily. The restorative potion had to be returned to Bai Mei before the man in black arrived. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Bai Mei had been able to stay in the human base unharmed after losing his disguise.

By the time they’d come to a unified decision, it was already late. Everyone returned to their rooms and tried to get a few hours of sleep before daybreak. As for whether or not they could fall asleep, that was another matter.

In their rooms, everyone was slowly digesting everything that had happened tonight. The secret Bai Mei had brought out was truly too impactful and shocking. The man in black, being a zombie king, the restorative agent, about the ability cores… everything indicated that this apocalypse might not be just some simple natural disaster.

What kind of role that man in black played still had to be investigated further.

***

Inside the master bedroom of the villa.

The little hamster had changed back to his teenage appearance under the blankets. His body curled up naked in Nie Xiao’s arms while his finger was drawing circles on Nie Xiao’s chest. His voice and tone were downcast and distressed. Bai Mei’s bitter experience really made him sad.

“Daddy, Baby really hopes Baimeimei can get better soon! I like him very much; he is a good man. Baby hates the world right now.”

Nie Xiao hugged Xiao WuYi, grabbed the other party’s finger that was indiscriminately poking his chest with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss the youth’s temple. “It will get better. We’ll all work hard together and surely get past this apocalypse. Bai Mei will also be cured.”

“Un!” Xiao WuYi nodded heavily. Then, with his nose raised and his voice deep and angry, he said, “Baby will soon remember who he is. Daddy, I think I’m about to regain my memories. And I feel that as long as I remember, I will evolve into an invincible little hamster warrior!

“Baby is very amazing!!!”

Nie Xiao somewhat didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, loving the adorable appearance of the little guy so much. “Is that right? Then Daddy will wait and see!”

Xiao WuYi nodded confidently, then said proudly, “This little hamster’s intuition is super accurate.”

Nie Xiao smiled and nodded. His fingers gently traced Xiao WuYi’s eyebrows. “Is Baby still getting sleepy? Baby’s eyes are a little red, and you seem to be sleeping more recently.”

“Sleepy!” Xiao WuYi nodded as his mouth opened, and he yawned, his eyes glistening with a layer of water. “I’m very, very sleepy, but I just feel sad and I can’t sleep when I think of Baimeimei! It’s true that I’ve been sleeping a lot more recently, but don’t worry about it, Daddy. Baby doesn’t feel any discomfort. I should be the same as General, recovering my memory by sleeping and dreaming!”

Nie Xiao nodded in relief after hearing this. He looked at the sleepy state of the youth, then lowered his head and kissed the other’s lips until Xiao WuYi felt giddy.

“Then go to sleep. Daddy will kiss you so you won’t be upset anymore. I wish Baby a good dream.”

“Un.” Xiao WuYi was immediately satisfied. He closed his eyes obediently and entered the land of dreams within two minutes. His last babble before going to sleep was whispering for the apocalypse to pass quickly.

Finally, it wasn’t known if it was due to being stimulated by Bai Mei’s secret, but the youth’s determination to recall his memories deepened.

Tonight, the little hamster eventually had a long, long dream.

Nie Xiao looked at the youth’s peaceful sleeping face, and a trace of a pampering smile appeared in his eyes. He also hoped that WuYi could remember soon so that he wouldn’t always have the illusion that he was committing a crime against a few-year-old baby.

French kisses were already the greatest limit of what he could do. If Baby doesn’t remember, he probably had to stifle his madness in order to not commit a crime.

Nie Xiao’s thoughts were a mess. Soon after, he quickly sealed these charming and dangerous thoughts temporarily, put his arms around the young boy, and began sorting out all kinds of things that had happened since the beginning of the apocalypse.

Bai Mei’s secret had already been exposed, but MoYan and the others still hadn’t revealed a single clue about their suspicious features. But in any case, as long as Xiao WuYi’s memory came back, he would inevitably figure it out.

After that, if everything was finally connected together, wouldn’t the truth behind this apocalyptic disaster become clear?

Nie Xiao couldn’t fall asleep for a very long time, and likewise, MoYan and the others couldn’t fall asleep, either. Multiple thoughts were running through their minds. The fact that that man in black was an alien had been placed before their eyes, and the evidence was undeniable. So, should they confess and try their best to help these earthlings?

MoYan, Possier, and the others had almost no discussions, but at this time, they all tacitly had an affirmative answer in their hearts.

They could only hope that the humans would be able to accept these facts.

……

The night passed as the sunshine expelled the darkness and shone on the damaged earth’s soil.

Everyone in the villa came out of their rooms with dark circles under their eyes. It could be seen that almost no one had slept well in the latter half of the night.

Ning Feng looked at the little dumpling in Nie Xiao’s pocket who showed no signs of waking up. And he couldn’t help but enviously say, “I have never imagined myself having no worries like this!!”

Hearing this, Nie Xiao uncontrollably laughed. He looked down at the little fairy in his pocket with eyes full of tenderness and responded in a rare joking manner, “You aren’t pure enough.”

“Boss, you’re too much. That’s a personal attack!!!”

Bai Mei laughed as he watched everyone noisily bicker. Currently, he had no more secrets in his heart. He had a serious talk with his brother last night about his true feelings, causing the optimistic changes in his heart to be directly reflected in his mien. Although he looked like a zombie, his whole person felt sincerer, more comfortable, and gentler.

Sislow stayed with Little Mo Ye to sleep last night, and the two little guys seemed like they also hadn’t slept much. At this time, he eagerly approached Bai Mei after seeing him and handed a black robe to Bai Mei like he was presenting a treasure. “Brother Bai Mei, this is for you. I made this together with Yezi¹Mo Ye’s nickname. We have special physiques, so it’s good for our health to be less exposed to the sun!!!”

Bai Mei spread it open and saw that it was a little black robe in the same style as what Sislow was wearing. His heart couldn’t help but warm up. He rubbed Sislow and Mo Ye’s heads and gently smiled. “Thank you for your gift. I like it very much. ”

Sislow shook his head and pointed at his two small fangs. “We all have small fangs like this, so we’re compatriots from now on.”

Everyone smiled as they watched.

Without further ado, Bai Mei put on the black robe gifted by Sislow; he really felt more vampire-like than Sislow. Although a zombie king was still a zombie, his appearance and behavior were much better than those of the low-level zombies outside because he possessed a consciousness.

Luo Yunhai complimented him sincerely as if Bai Mei were the only one he could see in his eyes. His love for Bai Mei could hardly be hidden. “Very beautiful.”

Bai Mei looked at Luo Yunhai, suddenly feeling a bit shy.

When everyone saw the two people like this, they suddenly jeered. After the incident last night, everyone had come to know a little bit of the story between Luo Yunhai and Bai Mei.

Bai Yue on the side watched the affectionate display of his brother and the wild man. His heart suddenly became a little jealous, although he couldn’t deny that Luo Yunhai’s honest heart was truly touching.

“Elder Brother cannot be married off!” Bai Yue said sourly as he enviously looked at the two of them, aggrieved. If a solution to the zombie virus was developed in the future, it wasn’t known who would benefit from it first. Just thinking about it made him feel indescribably stifled.

Everyone looked at Bai Yue’s fallen-out-of-favor-brother-in-law appearance and suddenly laughed. The haze of last night seemed to have been completely swept away.

Both Bai Mei and Luo Yunhai were embarrassed after being called out. They looked towards the direction of each other and hurriedly took a glance. Such a scene made everyone earnestly hope that the lovers could eventually get married²This is from a line from the novel “Romance of the West Chamber”, rough tl is ‘Sighing that it’s really hard for men and women to get intimate in this world, hoping that all lovers in the world can eventually get married’.

That morning, the atmosphere was very good, and one nearly couldn’t make out the exhaustion that everyone had gotten from being sleep-deprived. After a meal, everyone drove their vehicles to speed up towards the direction of WuYi Base.

During this period, the little hamster had been in a deep sleep and hadn’t yet woken up. Nie Xiao and the rest couldn’t bear to disturb him when seeing his cute appearance, so Bai Mei put the villa into his space first.

Bai Mei didn’t conceal his zombie king abilities at all and directly used coercion to disperse the surrounding zombies, rendering them unimpeded all the way. Except for some blockages clogging up the road, their driving speed was comparable to before the apocalypse.

It would be noon soon. Everyone sitting in the truck was watching the sleeping little hamster, and some people finally started to worry.

“There’s something wrong with Little Labor today. We’re this noisy, but he hasn’t moved even a bit. If, say, he slept too late last night, he should’ve had enough sleep now that it’s almost noon!” said Ning Feng as he looked at the little dumpling wrapped in Nie Xiao’s palm, his eyebrows slightly creased in worry.

The expression on Nie Xiao’s face at this time was also not that good. He cupped the little dumpling and called out several times, but there was no response at all. Although he’d started to sleep a lot some time ago, there had been no instance where he hadn’t woken up when called like today.

Even if the youth had given him a heads-up last night and told him it would be okay, plus he himself could also guess that this might have something to do with restoring his memory, he was still a little worried.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t quite right, MoYan immediately moved closer, wanting to see the condition of his family’s Little Highness. Nie Xiao didn’t stop him, considering MoYan was WuYi’s “uncle.” At this time, the little hamster’s safety was more important than anything else.

“What’s wrong with Baby?” Nie Xiao’s eyebrows tightened as he asked worriedly, “You’re his uncle, so shouldn’t you know something?”

MoYan took the little dumpling into his own hand and examined him carefully. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s okay. It’s very similar to the state of awakening. The restoration of his memory should be starting now.”

“What do you mean?” Nie Xiao urgently asked and took the little hamster back into his palm.

MoYan gave Nie Xiao a profound look and said it directly. He had already made up his mind not to cover up the truth anymore anyway. It was better to use this chance to make it clear. “I’ve mentioned before that His Little Highness accidentally went missing and that I was his uncle. All of us in the Nemo Royal Clan will begin to awaken our innate skill when we reach fifteen years of age. During the His Little Highness’ time of awakening, he directly tore space and disappeared because of his powerful space ability, which he couldn’t control well. I’ve been looking for him for four years since then.”

When the others heard this, they felt like they were suddenly stuffed amidst clouds and mist and couldn’t help but interrupt at once.

“Wait, wait!!! What ability awakening? Could it be that your abilities don’t come from ability cores?”

“Little Highness!? Fuck! Is Little Labor your race’s prince?”

“What is the Nemo Royal Clan?!!!”
