"If I don't take him with me, I'll live in fear that one day he'll make a mistake and you'll kill him. So, call me selfish, or say I don't respect his wishes, I don't care. As long as I can take him with me, I'll be content."
After the Zombie King finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Jiang.
Su Ling understood the Zombie King's concerns and worries. She looked at him and coldly asked, "Being sensitive to flesh and blood doesn't mean you have to eat people, right?"
The Zombie King looked at Su Ling at her words, not understanding what she meant for a moment. "What do you want to say?"
Su Ling took Xiao Jiang's hand and looked at the Zombie King. "I have confidence in Xiao Jiang. I believe he won't be overly sensitive or crave flesh and blood when he grows up. If he truly craves it, I think it doesn't have to be human flesh. Pigs, cattle, and sheep can satisfy his cravings."
The Zombie King was very surprised and taken aback by Su Ling's words.
He hadn't expected Su Ling to say such things just to keep Xiao Jiang.
While he was touched, the Zombie King was resolute and had his own considerations. "I was human once, just turned into a zombie during the apocalypse. I don't claim to understand human hearts and nature perfectly, but I've experienced them. Even before the apocalypse, human hearts were treacherous, let alone after. So, consider it me, a petty man, suspecting a noble heart, maliciously guessing your good intentions."
From his perspective, the Zombie King's worries and concerns were understandable.
He looked at Su Ling and continued, "After the apocalypse, resources are extremely precious and scarce for you. Pigs, cattle, and sheep are even more invaluable. To give them to Xiao Jiang to satisfy his cravings is simply absurd."
The Zombie King had personally witnessed survivors fighting over a loaf of bread.
Therefore, he didn't believe Su Ling's casual remark about pigs, cattle, and sheep satisfying cravings at all.
However, he was grateful that Su Ling had the thought.
Since Xiao Jiang couldn't understand Su Ling and the Zombie King, Jiang Jiang translated for him.
After listening to Jiang Jiang, Xiao Jiang looked at the Zombie King and communicated in zombie language, "I love eating meat the most. When I'm with older sister and the others, there's always meat. I always eat until my belly is round. I'm not making it up."
The Zombie King looked at the speaking Xiao Jiang, naturally doting on his younger brother. "Brother understands."
After speaking to Xiao Jiang, the Zombie King looked back at Su Ling. "Do you really insist on keeping Xiao Jiang?"
Su Ling nodded and took a bunch of bananas from her portable space, handing them to Xiao Jiang.
Upon seeing the bananas, Xiao Jiang's eyes sparkled as he took them, not forgetting to nuzzle Su Ling's hand.
After receiving the bananas, Xiao Jiang tore off one, then peeled it to reveal the pulp inside and began to eat.
The Zombie King was greatly surprised by this scene. He was quite taken aback by Xiao Jiang's every action.
He himself had an extremely strong craving for flesh and blood, but retaining his human consciousness, he refused to eat people and instead ate poultry and animals. He had never considered eating fruits like bananas.
Even the zombies under his command, he had never seen one eat a banana.
Watching Xiao Jiang eat a banana with such joy and satisfaction, the Zombie King for the first time felt doubt. Was it really that delicious?
As if sensing the Zombie King's inner thoughts, Xiao Jiang, who was eating a banana, tore off another one and offered it to him.
The Zombie King looked at the offered banana, hesitated, then reached out to take it. After receiving it, under Xiao Jiang's expectant gaze, he peeled the banana and took a bite.
Hmm, the texture was good, the taste was the same, it hadn't changed because he was a zombie.
Soon, the banana was finished, and the Zombie King's mind was at ease.
He placed the banana peel on the table and looked at Su Ling. "Does Xiao Jiang eat, live, and sleep with you?"
