The entire animated film's plot was somewhat similar to the original world's "Big Head Son and Small Head Dad," also a family-centric animated film.
It also contained many small stories that taught children principles of life.
"Hmm... this isn't bad... no need for me to educate her daily by my side, just let Xiaobai watch cartoons!"
Zhang Chen nodded with a smile.
However...
The plot of the animated film was too simple.
And it was all about trivial matters.
Xiaobai and Er Pang watched with great interest.
To the two of them, this might be a novel experience.
But for Zhang Chen, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
Coupled with the fact that he had been fighting his way through the zombie tide today...
He was utterly exhausted.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Zhang Chen was awakened by the sound from the animation.
"Huh? It's still playing?"
Zhang Chen groggily glanced at the screen.
On it, the little head daughter was happily stomping around in puddles with her rain boots, appearing very joyful.
It was the content of the third episode.
Zhang Chen had fallen asleep watching this part.
It should have completed a full loop of all the episodes by now.
Zhang Chen turned off the player and walked into the living room, still groggy.
"Er Pang, Xiaobai, where are you guys?"
Xiaobai might not know her name is Xiaobai.
But Er Pang definitely knew his name was Er Pang.
So as soon as Zhang Chen called, Er Pang should have rushed over.
And normally, Er Pang would be the one to lick Zhang Chen awake...
Today...
The entire living room was empty.
There was no sound from Er Pang, nor from Xiaobai.
Zhang Chen opened the door and stepped out of the villa.
He stood on the rooftop and looked around.
At this moment, all ten automatic sentry turrets had ceased operation.
Around the outpatient building, there was a circle of dense corpse piles, as high as small mountains.
The air was filled with a stench of blood.
The filthy blood of zombies had spilled everywhere.
The attacks from the automatic sentry turrets counted as Zhang Chen's own kills.
Automatic collection would directly dispose of the corpses, leaving no trace.
The only explanation was...
All of this was done by Xiaobai and Er Pang.
These two little guys...
They treated the zombie tide as a toy?
Zhang Chen recalled Xiaobai's powerful combat capability when she first awakened, almost beating a wailer to death...
Dealing with these zombies was like playing.
"Er Pang!"
"Xiaobai!"
Zhang Chen shouted.
The nearby zombies had all been cleared.
There were no living people either.
The entire city was dead silent.
Zhang Chen's hearty shout traveled far, echoing slowly through the buildings.
"Er Pang... Er Pang... Xiaobai... Xiaobai..."
"Awooo!~"
Soon, Er Pang responded.
The sound came from the direction of a shopping mall not far away.
"Over there!"
Zhang Chen quickly leaped from the rooftop and rushed over.
Turning a street corner, he saw Er Pang sitting in the middle of the road, barking at Zhang Chen.
Then Er Pang turned and ran towards the entrance of the shopping mall.
Er Pang wasn't in its transformed state, which meant there was no danger!
Zhang Chen hurried to follow.
Er Pang let out a bark and rushed in first.
"Xiaobai is inside?"
Zhang Chen walked straight in.
There was no electricity, and the mall had no windows.
The light from the entrance only illuminated about three to four meters.
Beyond that was pitch darkness.
Zhang Chen continued into the darkness, and soon his eyes adapted to the light, seeing everything clearly.
He saw that at the entrance of a clothing store.
Xiaobai had changed into a princess dress and was admiring herself in the mirror.
In her hand, she held a plush bear toy as tall as herself.
So this little fellow had come shopping.
The clothes she had worn out of the laboratory were stained with blood from killing zombies.
They were discarded to the side.
"Daddy, you're here, Xiaobai... am I pretty!"
Seeing Zhang Chen, Xiaobai ran over excitedly.
First, she gave Zhang Chen a big hug.
Then she spun around in front of him, striking a cute pose.
"You... can talk?"
Zhang Chen was filled with astonishment.
It normally took a normal child one to two years to learn to speak.
And that too, word by word.
Even for an adult going abroad, without systematic learning.
Achieving fluent communication was not an overnight matter.
Xiaobai could talk just by watching one animated film?
And she clearly understood the meaning of what she said.
This... this was too amazing!
"Am I pretty, am I pretty, Daddy!"
Xiaobai asked eagerly.
Her expression seemed to say, "Praise me, praise me quickly."
"Pretty, of course you're pretty!"
"But this dress is a bit small on you. You can change into something more suitable for a young girl!"
This princess dress was indeed too small.
The hem was two fists away from the upper part of her knees, almost turning it into a mini-skirt.
"Also... don't call me Daddy. I'm not your Daddy. You can just call me Gege!"
Zhang Chen corrected with a smile.
"Gege... what is that?"
Xiaobai tilted her head and asked.
In the animation, there were only Daddy, Mommy, and a pet dog.
There was no plot involving a "Gege."
So this was the first time Xiaobai had heard this term.
"Gege... is what you call a man older than you!"
Zhang Chen was stumped by Xiaobai's question.
He had never had to answer such a question before.
In fact, his answer had loopholes.
Because Daddy was also older than his daughter.
And Xiaobai had no father, nor any age reference, so explaining it was very troublesome.
"Gege, Gege!"
Xiaobai stroked Er Pang's head and called out excitedly.
"Ah, this... it's a wolf, not a person... you can just call it Er Pang!"
Zhang Chen said with a black line on his face.
"Er Pang... Gege?"
Xiaobai giggled, finding the name pleasant to say.
She immediately ran around Er Pang.
Calling Er Pang "Gege" as she ran.
"Alright..."
Zhang Chen lightly touched his forehead.
It seemed educating a child in the apocalypse was truly not an easy task!
"Daddy, come, Daddy!"
Xiaobai suddenly waved her small hands, beckoning Zhang Chen.
"Fine, call me whatever you want."
"I'll correct you slowly when your comprehension ability improves!"
"Come, Daddy!"
Xiaobai stood at the entrance of the fitting room, saying excitedly.
"Coming, coming!"
Zhang Chen slowly walked over.
He saw that the door to the fitting room was open.
A wailer stood inside, staring blankly at its reflection in the mirror.
When Zhang Chen saw the wailer's appearance, he was also stunned.
"It's Xu Ruina, no doubt... good... good..."
"How did she end up like this?!"
