A zookeeper named Tian Yu accidentally transmigrated into a badly written novel with an unfinished ending.
The good news: He was bound to a Pet Beast Raising System that could hatch eggs, fuse beasts, and let him borrow the abilities of his contracted beasts.
The bad news: The System was only Level 1, and his beast egg hadn't hatched yet.
So he made a decision on the spot:
He shrank into the shape of a four- or five-year-old child, his silvery-white hair sticking up in a messy tuft, and huddled trembling in a corner of the supermarket.
"Big brother... Xiao Yu is scared."
Jing Tian picked him up without a second thought and wrapped him in his jacket.
Shen Zheng took another look or two, feeling that the child was suspiciously clean.
Ye Jian handed him a bottle of water and patted his head. "Hungry, huh? Have a little something first."
Tian Yu obediently took it and sipped the water in tiny mouthfuls.
Everyone thought they'd found a poor, helpless child.
No one knew why, during the two days this "child" had been hiding in the supermarket, there hadn't been a single zombie within a five-hundred-meter radius.
It wasn't because he was lucky.
It was because he'd cleared out everything that could move in the area.
Fictional story. Read without overthinking.
