Chapter 53: Poddie (2)

Yang Zhang woke up the following day with full energy. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Poddie hugging his nose, sleeping while using his full pea pod bag as a pillow.

He carefully pulled Poddie from his nose and got up, ready for the day once more. The sun was hitting the holes in the ceiling, and he patted his pets to wake up.

"Wake up, guys. Don't you want to kill some zombies today?"

Chestnut and Lt. Spicy Wing opened their eyes instantly. They stood in front of Yang Zhang like two soldiers ready for battle.

"Chirp!"

"Squeak!"

"Hehe, you guys are really eager to slay some zombies, huh?" Yang Zhang checked Little Ivy, already wrapping her vines around Yang Zhang's arms.

"Viii…"

"It's okay, Ivy. You can always hide inside my arm, I will protect you—unless I'm in real danger and really require your help, of course," Yang Zhang said. He checked the last pet that was still sleeping.
