A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Bei Nuan felt a little smug about messing with him, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

In any case, all the materials needed for the task were now gathered.

Following the task requirements, Bei Nuan used a lighter in the dimension to ignite the items wrapped in the tissue together.

"King of the Beasts" finally showed as completed.

A simple task description was added below: See it, imitate it, become it.

Bei Nuan stared at these words for a long time.

Become it? Become it?

So, it wasn't about becoming the King of the Beasts who could command all animals, but to become an animal itself?

It seemed that you could become whatever you wanted.

The most important thing was that the task description didn't clearly state how long it would take to change back once you became an animal.

If it followed the usual pattern of this series of tasks, like the last time she was invisible, it would be a short period of ten minutes or so, or as long as several hours.

Bei Nuan felt that this ability was best used with caution.

Easily downgrading herself from the top of the food chain, the highest branch of the evolutionary tree, didn't seem like a good thing.

However, Bei Nuan was in agony, having finally obtained an ability and leaving it unused, while the countdown continued ticking away second by second.

Shao Bai's voice seemed to come from the tent. Shao Bai was here again.

"Bei Nuan, shall we go back?"

Lu Xingchi had been silently waiting for her to space out, but now he couldn't help but speak.

The two of them returned to the tent together from the back door, just in time to hear Shao Bai telling Du Ruo and the others that the mission was completed, and the special operations team had decided to rest for the morning and set off at noon to return to the safe zone.

All the civilians in the camp would be taken along.

Shao Bai had originally planned to take advantage of searching for Li Rui to find a safe settlement for them nearby, but now that the mission was completed ahead of schedule, they could be taken directly to the safe zone.

The purpose of his visit was to ask Lu Xingchi and the others if they wanted to go together.

Following the special operations team to the safe zone was undoubtedly the most convenient thing to do. Lu Xingchi consulted everyone's opinion and readily agreed.

With a whole morning to spare before departure, Bei Nuan was tempted.

Maybe there was still time.

Bei Nuan quietly slipped out of the camp while everyone wasn't paying attention.

To find animals, of course, you had to go to the nearby woods. After all, it was "see it, imitate it," and first you had to be able to "see."

It was early summer, and the woods were full of small insects. The sounds of various insects could be heard everywhere, but Bei Nuan didn't want to become an insect at all.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Bei Nuan looked up at the tall treetops.

Of course, she had to become a bird.

Becoming a bird would allow her to fly freely, using her own wings to go wherever she wanted, soaring, diving, and circling, even more enjoyable than wearing a wingsuit.

Bei Nuan carefully searched with her eyes among the lush green leaves on the treetops after the rain, and finally found a small bird.

It was a very beautiful little bird.

Its wings and back were smoky gray, and its abdomen was whitish, fluffy, but covered with a layer of light smoky pink on the tips of its feathers. The smoky pink turned into a sunset-like light red on its head.

Its beak and eye sockets were black, as if it had drawn a circle of elongated eyeliner, and there was a soft crest of feathers on its head.

Most special of all, the tips of its wings and tail feathers were black, but there were a few bright red spots and a touch of yellow.

This was a small and cute bird, yet dressed in full attire.

As soon as Bei Nuan saw it, she immediately felt that she could do it.

She had already "seen it," and next she had to "imitate it."

The bird stood leisurely on the tree, doing nothing but tucking up one leg.

Bei Nuan imitated the bird, put her arms close to her body, and then tucked up one leg as well. She stood on one leg for a while, and when the bird switched legs, she switched legs too.

Fortunately, no one was around to see it. It was a little embarrassing.

However, there was no special change at all. Bei Nuan was still Bei Nuan.

It seemed that the system didn't think she was imitating well enough.

The little bird stood on the branch, tilted its head, looked at the sky, and suddenly chirped twice, its song clear and melodious.

Bei Nuan also tilted her head and chirped twice at the sky. Bei Nuan thought she sounded quite melodious too.

The little bird suddenly opened its wings, flapped them twice, pushed off the branch, and fluttered away.

Bei Nuan thought, don't go! She quickly imitated it, flapping her arms twice.

Bei Nuan suddenly flew up.

She really flew up, her feet leaving the ground, soaring into the air.

In that instant, the surrounding scenery suddenly became larger, and the tree trunks felt much thicker. Bei Nuan looked down and saw a patch of smoky pink feathers on her belly.

Then, with a bang, she crashed into a tree.

Bei Nuan lay on the ground, dazed for a long time before getting up.

Now she had no hands, only a pair of wings and thin bird legs, and it was a little difficult to even get up from the ground, stumbling around.

No one would be very graceful the first time they were a bird.

However, the second time she flew was much better.

Bei Nuan found that if she wanted to fly, there was only one key: to flap her wings hard and desperately.

Flying was okay, but controlling direction was really difficult.

The wings could freely change the angle of flapping, and the tail could also move, which could be used together to change the direction of flight, but it was the first time since birth that she had grown a tail, and she really didn't know how to use it.

Bei Nuan took to the skies like a fledgling, flying higher and higher, trying her best to control herself, and finally flew past the tree trunks and reached the height of the canopy.

After becoming a bird, everything around her became bigger, and the height of the canopy felt very high. Flying in the sky by flapping her wings like this was a little scary.

Bei Nuan quickly glanced at the taskbar.

The newly emerged countdown was only one hour, so it seemed she could only be a bird for one hour.

Bei Nuan thought that she must remember to land on the ground before the countdown ended, otherwise, if she turned back into a human and fell from the sky, even if she didn't die, she would probably break her legs.

Fortunately, her clothes changed with Bei Nuan, so she didn't feel like she was running around naked, and she could relax.

Bei Nuan tried hard to fly a small circle in the sky, then landed back on a branch to rest, thinking that being a bird wasn't easy either. She had to keep flapping her wings to fight against gravity.

In front of the big tree was the camp. Looking down from above, it was one tent top after another. The special operations team was resting in the morning, and many people were wandering around between the tents.

Bei Nuan looked down at the scenery from above, chirped twice comfortably, and decided to take another flight before the hour was up.

She opened her wings, but before she could take off, she was discovered by the special operations team members in the camp below.

Probably because her chirping was too pleasant, two members were looking up at her.

"Look at that bird! It's so pretty!"

"Where is it?"

"See it? On the highest branch, the one with a bit of pink on its feathers."

"I see it. It's really pretty!"

Bei Nuan proudly puffed out her chest.

Then she heard one of the members say, "It's probably delicious too! It's been a long time since I've seen meat."

Bei Nuan: ?

They turned around and went into the tent. Bei Nuan knew something was wrong and quickly flapped her wings. Just as she flew up, she saw one of the members come out with a gun.

The special operations team members' marksmanship was far inferior to Bei Nuan's, but it was not a joke.

Bei Nuan had just learned to fly and was still very clumsy. Knowing that she must not run to open spaces, she quickly turned around and plunged into the woods.

Turning her head, she saw the two of them leaving the camp with their guns and chasing into the woods.

This was bad.

Bei Nuan flapped her wings, using her poor flying skills to try to fly forward under the cover of the canopy, thinking: This is all retribution.

Last time on the island, she ate too much roasted bird meat at Xiao Shao's place, and now it was her turn.

She would never eat birds again.

The woods weren't very big, and beyond them was a large wasteland with only rocks and low shrubs, with no cover at all.

Bei Nuan knew that flying there would be a dead end, so she could only change direction and return to the woods.

The two members were chasing behind her, probably thinking that she was flying clumsily and that they had a chance to catch her, so they didn't give up at all.

There was still a long way to go before the one-hour limit, and it was very dangerous to keep circling like this. It was not a solution at all. Bei Nuan suddenly came up with a risky idea.

Although it was risky, it might be effective.

Bei Nuan turned around, maintained a low altitude, and rushed into the camp.

The camp was full of people, and even if those two had good marksmanship, they wouldn't dare to shoot randomly in the camp.

A beautiful bird plunged into the camp, flying low and fluttering around in a panic, and many people saw it and laughed.

The two members also returned to the camp, chasing behind Bei Nuan, as if they were determined to catch her.

Some people waved their arms and clothes, trying to help catch Bei Nuan, but none of them succeeded.

Bei Nuan ignored them, weaving east and west, and finally reached her destination.

It was the tent where Bei Nuan and the others were staying.

The tent door was down, but the curtains were rolled up.

Lu Xingchi was right when he carried Bei Nuan and introduced the new environment last time. Doors and windows were ultimately just holes in the tent. If you couldn't go through the door, going through the window was the same.

Bei Nuan swooshed in through the window, found Lu Xingchi, fluttered her wings, and plunged into his arms.

Lu Xingchi: "…"

The two special operations team members lifted the door curtain and followed in.

Du Ruo and the others were busy playing board games and didn't notice a bird sneaking in. Now they suddenly saw two big men coming in, carrying guns, and looked at them inexplicably.

After all, they had fought so many zombies together yesterday, and both of them knew Lu Xingchi and the others.

They smiled and said, "We're here to catch a bird. Did a bird fly in just now?"

Bei Nuan was quick. After plunging into Lu Xingchi's arms, she was still worried. She found the opening between the two buttons on the front of his shirt, squeezed in, and crawled inside.

Now she was struggling to hook his clothes from the inside with her bird claws, and finally crawled to the collar with one button open under his neck, and poked her little bird head out to look around.

Lu Xingchi: "…"

While the two members were talking, their eyes swept around, and finally saw the little bird head peeking out of Lu Xingchi's white shirt collar, and they were a little embarrassed.

"It's my pet bird."

Lu Xingchi's voice came from the warm chest behind Bei Nuan, resonating in his chest, sounding lower than usual.

Immediately afterwards, a big hand pressed down like a dark cloud, but the movement was very light, and he gently touched the soft feathers on the top of Bei Nuan's head with his fingertips.

"So it's your pet bird."

The two members were embarrassed together, and the one carrying the gun hid the gun behind his back.

"We thought it was very pretty," one said.

Bei Nuan silently added for him: Not only did you think it was pretty, but you also thought it was delicious.

The other took two steps forward enthusiastically, bent down to look at Bei Nuan, and sighed, "Not only is it pretty, but it's also very human. It's the first time I've seen such a sensible bird." Then he asked, "Can I touch it?"

Bei Nuan looked up and saw Lu Xingchi smile.

"No," he said.

He refused directly, and the two members were even more embarrassed. They praised Bei Nuan fiercely again and quickly slipped away.

As soon as they left, Du Ruo and the others surrounded them.

Tang Tang was extremely envious, "Such a well-behaved little bird."

Du Ruo stretched out her demonic claws, "Where did this bird come from? When did you get a bird?"

"I found it," Lu Xingchi said, dodging Du Ruo's hand with Bei Nuan.

"You're so stingy, you won't even let me touch it. Is it a female?"

Du Ruo had to withdraw her hand and studied Bei Nuan a little closer.

"You're relying on your good looks to dare to crawl into Lu Xingchi's clothes. Be careful Bei Nuan will see you later and pluck all your feathers."

Bei Nuan: "…"

Lu Xingchi was afraid that her claws wouldn't be able to grip his clothes, so he gently supported the bird in front of his chest with one hand and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Du Ruo asked.

"Going out to walk… uh… walk this little one," Lu Xingchi said.

Lu Xingchi took her out of the camp like this and went to the nearby woods.

With him around, it was undoubtedly safe. Bei Nuan crawled out of his clothes.

Lu Xingchi stretched out his hand, and Bei Nuan walked along his arm, swaying like walking on a tightrope, and walked into his palm.

He carefully brought Bei Nuan to his eyes, and his beautiful eyes were very close to Bei Nuan, carefully looking at her with a smile.

Bei Nuan wasn't afraid of him looking at her and thought she was very beautiful.

"Little bird, do you want to eat little bugs? What kind do you like? Caterpillars or longicorns? I can help you catch them," he suddenly asked.

Bei Nuan was silent for a moment, and when she saw the fleeting slyness in his eyes, she realized that he was joking.

Bei Nuan couldn't speak, so she pecked his finger in retaliation, fluttered her wings in his palm, and flew up again.

She tried her best to control her flight posture with the experience she had just learned, trying to fly as steadily as possible, and proudly circled above his head before landing back on his palm.

This was blatant boasting.

See? I can fly.

Lu Xingchi gently stroked her forehead with his finger, "Do you know? One day I can also fly."

Bei Nuan: ?

Lu Xingchi patiently explained: "My ability to control metal is getting stronger every day. It shouldn't be long before I can use metal to support heavy objects and fly in the air. So think about it, what will happen if I wear a suit of metal clothes at that time?"

Bei Nuan widened her little bird eyes: Steel, Iron Man?

Lu Xingchi smiled, "I'm considering, if someone is good, I can consider making her a suit of clothes too and take her flying with me."

Really?

The "King of the Beasts" ability would be gone soon. If Lu Xingchi could really fly with someone, it would be very fun.

Bei Nuan cheered in his palm.

It sounded like a bird was excitedly yelling.

Immediately afterwards, Bei Nuan suddenly thought of something else.

Could she really wait until that day?

Maybe before he could fly, Bei Nuan would have to leave this world.

The safe zone wasn't far from here, and the Saintess Value progress bar was green, with less than 20% left.

Before the plot line in the book ended, Bei Nuan had to raise her Saintess Value to the maximum to successfully complete the Saintess Mission.

Then leave this world, leave him.

Bei Nuan had been thinking about this all the time, thinking for a long time, and it seemed completely unsolvable at the moment.

Since it was unsolvable, she would happily live every day with him.

Bei Nuan hopped and fluttered to his shoulder, tilted her head, and rubbed his neck. This kind of thing looked much more normal when a bird did it than when a person did it.

Even though he was being flirted with by a bird, Lu Xingchi's neck still flushed red.

Bei Nuan thought it was very funny, so she pecked his earlobe.

It was as if the neck would transmit the red to the ears, and the blush spread all the way up, burning his ears red, which was very interesting.

Lu Xingchi turned his head to look at her.

Bei Nuan had become smaller, standing on his shoulder, feeling that he was as big as a giant, but even magnified to such a size, his features were still handsome and delicate, impeccable.

He narrowed his eyes, suddenly leaned over, and kissed her little bird beak.

Was he not even letting birds off?

Bei Nuan was startled by him, fluttered twice, almost fell off his shoulder, and was grabbed by him.

It was such a big, big kiss.
