Chapter 075: Zombies x Slap in the Face x Anatomy (21)

As Kong Fengjiang reminded him, Jin Mingmao came to his senses.

That's right, he was clearly the victim. Why should he have to run to the pig farm? He should demand reasonable compensation and shouldn't be suffering in such a poverty-stricken place at all!

For many days, due to psychological trauma, Jin Mingmao had refused to communicate with most people, relying on heavy labor to wash away his previous shameful memories.

With Kong Fengjiang's encouragement, he felt capable again. He was standing tall once more!

With his access card in hand, Jin Mingmao directly found a terminal and summoned the deputy officer.

On the other end, the deputy officer took a break from her busy schedule to check the message and asked He Shuangqiu what to do.

"Go," He Shuangqiu said, also reviewing official documents and planning the upcoming defense expansion. His pen paused briefly as he added, "You look too healthy right now. Put on some makeup before you go."

The deputy officer unconsciously touched her face, feeling happy. "I'm so happy when you praise me, Commander."

"Let's deepen the tear troughs, add some dark circles, hollow and pale cheeks, and reduce the color of the lips," He Shuangqiu instructed. "Show me after you've done the makeup."

"No problem!"

Jin Mingmao waited for almost two hours before he saw the deputy officer. He was startled by her appearance.

In just over ten days, she had visibly aged and looked so haggard that she could barely speak with much energy.

Even so, he steeled his heart and demanded reasonable compensation.

"The Commander has gone mad and is unfit to be in such a high position, nor should he enjoy so many resources!"

"He almost killed me and another person, and he's done so many absurd things. Isn't there a board system in the base that can demote him?"

The deputy officer forced a smile and said, "Actually... I'm already at my wit's end."

"Brother Jin, after you left, we've been overwhelmed and can't calm him down."

"When you were here, he would occasionally listen to you. Now, he doesn't even understand human speech."

Jin Mingmao had been waiting for this. He immediately said, "That's why we can't indulge him anymore. We need to tie him up and at least beat him a few times to give him some physiological fear!"

The deputy officer shook her head and looked around nervously, ensuring no one else was around before speaking. "Do you remember the key thing I secretly told you about a long time ago?"

"He Shuangqiu had a contingency plan, fearing that after establishing the base, someone might seize power. Only he knows this key."

Jin Mingmao was puzzled. "Now you all have access to the cold storage and the armory obviously wasn't built by him alone. What use does this key have?"

"Lower your voice," the deputy officer almost cried. "He's too cunning and has everyone completely guarded!"

"The base's water and electricity system requires verification of the key every two to three days. If it's not verified for more than five days, everything will shut down."

"The stuff in this cold storage is enough for hundreds of us to eat and drink, but if there's a power outage, who can survive?!"

"Brother Jin, you're his closest person. I beg you, can you try to ask him for the key?"

The deputy officer opened the electronic screen and showed him the entry for the key input.

"If you input the wrong key five times, it will automatically self-destruct. We don't dare to use brute force to crack it and can only rely on you!"

"Rely on me?" Jin Mingmao found it amusing. "When he's mad, he's not human. Do you think he'll listen to me?"

"We've found... that he's actually clear-headed for about one or two hours a day," the deputy officer tightly gripped his arms. "Brother Jin, we're counting on you. The base can't be allowed to fall apart!"

Jin Mingmao reluctantly agreed. "It's not impossible."

"But you need to give me the permissions for TOM and JERRY and ensure my safety."

"Brother, I'll stand guard at night, and all the subordinates I can mobilize will be at your service!"

After much thought, Jin Mingmao decided to bring Kong Fengjiang along.

He knew he couldn't outmaneuver He Shuangqiu alone and would rather bring someone who was dangerous but could also help.

When the two went to the Commander's residence again, they were followed by two bodyguards, significantly increasing their combat power and confidence.

As the door opened, a large screen was playing "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Heroes."

The young man, dressed in cartoon pajamas, lay on the sofa and didn't react much when he saw them.

Kong Fengjiang didn't dare to enter. Seeing the bodyguards had gone in, he stayed far outside the door, being very cautious about whether He Shuangqiu was truly mad.

Jin Mingmao tentatively sat down and observed from a distance what He Shuangqiu was going to do.

To his surprise, the young man spent the entire afternoon watching cartoons, occasionally sucking his thumb, and didn't say a word.

After three or four hours, Kong Fengjiang was getting a bit bored sitting by the door.

As night fell, the young man finally spoke his first words.

"Hungry!"

No one moved.

The young man regressed into a giant baby. "Hungry!!"

"Hungry hungry!!"

JERRY handed him a carton of milk. He Shuangqiu held it in his arms, looking left and right, and continued to wail, "Hungry!!"

JERRY was puzzled. "Don't you know how to use a straw?"

"Hungry!!!"

Good grief, this is really turning into a man-baby.

Jin Mingmao blocked TOM from grabbing the bread and moved a little closer with the electronic screen.

"Shuangqiu, do you remember this password?"

"Hmm!"

"You can eat if you tell me, alright?"

"Hungry!" the man-baby wailed. "I want to eat first!"

"I want to eat noodles! Meat! Peaches!!"

Jin Mingmao gave a signal, and two bodyguards silently went downstairs to find food, which was automatically heated and brought up.

Kong Fengjiang sensed that something wasn’t right and observed with his arms crossed the whole time.

The bodyguards brought a plate of spaghetti and some roast beef. Since they couldn’t find fresh peaches, they brought a can of yellow peach preserves.

Even with the food in front of him, the man-baby continued to cry: "Hungry!! Hungry!!"

"Damn," TOM said. "Does he want to be fed too?"

The man-baby pointed at Jin Mingmao. "Food! Feed me!"

Jin Mingmao forced a straight face and went over to feed him the noodles.

It was truly like taking care of a man-baby, who even watched cartoons while eating, forgetting to chew several times while watching.

Jin Mingmao struggled to resist throwing the noodles in his face.

This wasn’t taking care of a grandson; this was acting like a servant!

"Eat quickly, Shuangqiu, be a good boy and take another bite!"

Once the man-baby had eaten enough, Jin Mingmao took out the electronic screen again and tentatively asked He Shuangqiu if he knew the second part of the password.

Unexpectedly, this man-baby persona really had no defensive mindset and nodded happily. "I know, I know."

Clang, clang, clang—four passwords were entered, and the screen began loading. Everyone at the scene tensed up.

"First part of the password verified successfully."

"Please enter the second part of the password: ____?"

Jin Mingmao gently wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and said, "Baby, sweetie, what’s the second part of the password?"

He Shuangqiu tilted his head and looked at him for a long time before saying, "If you take me out to play, I’ll tell you!"

Jin Mingmao didn’t hesitate. "Alright, let’s take a walk outside, go to the city walls and watch the zombies dance, okay?"

"No!" the man-baby screamed. "I want to go to Disneyland!! I want to ride a roller coaster!! I want to go to a temple fair!!"

The atmosphere in the room froze.

A few months ago, this would have been a simple request—just go to an amusement park.

But now—it was the age of zombies. Going outside was dangerous, with non-human creatures roaming around just five meters away, and there was even a chance of running into a ten-meter-tall zombie king.

Amusement park? Roller coaster? Were you sure you’d be the one having fun or would it be them having fun with you???

Kong Fengjiang couldn’t take it anymore and gently coaxed, "How about we play video games? Or watch a movie?"

"The outside is dangerous. Going out could get you killed!"

Jin Mingmao simply coaxed and led He Shuangqiu to the balcony, showing him the spectacular and surreal zombie square dance city outside.

"There are bad zombies outside. Zombies bite people; we can’t go out!"

He Shuangqiu blinked. "There are guns!"

Jin Mingmao: "..."

"Lots of people have guns!" He Shuangqiu screamed. "I want to go out! I want Mickey ears! I want to see Lingna Belle!!"

"It’s not possible," TOM also couldn’t help but persuade. "Even if we go out with guns, we might die..."

Just a moment ago, He Shuangqiu was standing, but the next second, he started spinning on the floor like a top, crying hysterically, his voice like an ultra-sensitive British smoke alarm, screeching and wailing loud enough to pierce eardrums.

"I want to go out! I want to go out! I want to go out and play!"

Jin Mingmao was so frustrated by the noise that his head hurt. He wanted to walk away, but his pant leg was twisted into a knot by He Shuangqiu.

He Shuangqiu cried like a fountain, wiping his tears and snot all over them.

Kong Fengjiang suddenly said calmly, "Give him a beating."

"Beat him to within an inch of his life."

The others in the room looked at each other, not daring to make a move.

"Do as I say," Kong Fengjiang lifted his foot to kick him in the stomach. "He needs to be taught a lesson for acting like this!"

He Shuangqiu’s pupils widened, and he pouted, letting out an extremely sharp whistle.

In an instant, dozens of fully armed drones hidden in the ceiling glided down, their sights trained on everyone present.

Two black mercenaries were about to wet themselves, directly raising their hands and frantically backing away.

"I didn't mean to kick him!"

"Don't kill me! I need to go back to my hometown!"

He Shuangqiu whistled again, and the auto-targeting drone in the center immediately circled around Kong Fengjiang, firing ten bullets along the edge of his body, even singeing his hair instantly!

Kong Fengjiang barely caught his breath in the hail of gunfire, coming just a hair's breadth away from dropping dead on the spot from a stroke or heart attack.

The man-child got up from the ground, awkwardly patting off the dust, and gestured to the drone like he was directing a bird, signaling it to follow him.

"We'll take the men and the guns," he said, gesturing with his hand. "To the amusement park."

"The weather's nice today, and I'm going to the amusement park!"

Jin Mingmao could already imagine how many zombies must be wandering around the amusement park at this critical moment, cold sweat streaming down his face.

He hadn't even noticed when he raised his hands straight up, his voice trembling as he asked Lao Kong, "What do we do now?"

"What can we do?!" Kong Fengjiang cried out. "Go with him to the amusement park! To his damn family's amusement park!!!"
