Perhaps it was the two consecutive setbacks and the "major bleeding" that made that monster show some intelligence and not challenge our wire mesh fence again.

With Jia Yang's efforts, the voltage of the wire mesh has increased significantly, to the point where a touch could electrocute an ordinary human to death. So we didn't even bother to draw the blackout curtains, each of us opened a bucket of potato chips, crossed our legs on the sofa, and played Switch together.

This is the correct way to lay flat at the end of the world. What were those days of anxiety and fear before?

After Super Mario successfully rescued the princess on the TV screen, a strange calmness appeared outside the window.

I turned my head and looked at the monster outside staring at us, rolling its eyes. I elbowed Jia Yang beside me and said with disdain, "This guy is still not giving up."

"I think he should just turn on his own kind and eat the zombies downstairs. It would also be a service to the people." Jia Yang said while stuffing a potato chip into his mouth. The monster outside the window weakly whimpered.

We were both stunned by its reaction.

"...Is this thing trying to be cute?" My expression was like the widely circulated black person questioning expression.

"...Or maybe it's trying to act cute?" Jia Yang's expression was also a bit strange.

I looked at the monster outside and imagined how it would act cute in front of me...

An intimidating creature with a muscular body, long tentacles resembling zombie-like version of a spider monkey, stomped its muscular thighs in front of me, causing the floor to shake three times.

I couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill down my spine.

The monster whimpered again, with a look of grievance in its eyes, staring at us intently.

"Don't look at us like that, if you keep looking, we won't hesitate to eat you ourselves!" I said threateningly towards it.

I almost saw it droop its head, and Jia Yang opened the terrace door and threw a potato chip at it. "Here! Eat! I have something better to eat than human flesh! Barbecue flavor."

...I was speechless, but the sight of the monster staring at the potato chip and opening its mouth to catch it made me even more speechless!

I was so shocked that I almost dropped my jaw.

Jia Yang looked at me smugly and raised his eyebrows, "See, I understand it!"

"...Then you can be brothers with it."

That night, Jia Yang sat on the terrace feeding the monster potato chips, going through two buckets. The scene was somewhat reminiscent of an old man feeding fish by the lake, enjoying chatting with the fish.

For example—

"Are you thirsty? You've eaten so many potato chips." He went into the house and took out a squirt gun, "Do you want some water, buddy?"

"Still hungry? I have another bucket of original flavor, do you like it?" He went back into the house to get the bucket of original flavor chips, filled the squirt gun with water, and squirted water into its mouth while feeding it chips.

"Don't let it drink all the water! It's fine for a zombie to eat potato chips, but why water!" I came out of washing up at eleven, and this person was still on the terrace having fun with the monster. I couldn't bear it and yelled at him, "Hurry up, wash up and go to bed, or tomorrow don't just feed it potato chips, I'll make you go hungry with it!"
