Chapter 594: A Huge Misunderstanding

In the ruins of a destroyed city, a frightening zombie reached out its bony arm, and jumped at him with its rotting smell.
He wanted so badly to hide, but he couldn't move his body. He watched the skeleton covered in rotten flesh get closer and closer, and then it pressed down on his face, piercing his skin with its sharp fingers.
”Ah!” he screamed, waking up from his dream.
A grey shadow flashed in front him. His cheek still hurt from the attack, and suddenly he smelled bird poop.
”Richard! Come over here, you bastard!”
He figured out what happened. Richard must have stepped on his face and jumped over him, scraping his nose with its wings covered in bird droppings. That was why he had that stinking nightmare.
”Quack!” Richard fluttered its wings and flew further away. ”Why are you waking up so late today? Even later than I do. I'm punishing you a little so that it won't happen again!”
Zhang Zian lifted his head and saw that it was already bright outside. The hazy morning light shone through the curtains and onto his face.
He was suddenly covered in cold sweat. What time was it then? Why did he wake up so late that day?
He looked around. All the elfins were already up except for Pi. Even Fina and Snowy Lionet had headed downstairs.
Bang bang bang!
A knock on the shutter door came from downstairs. Then, his phone started vibrating. It was a call from Lu Yiyun.
”Hello? Mr. Manager? Are you outside?” she asked over the phone.
”No, I got up late. I'll answer the door right away! Just a moment!” he whispered, trying not to wake Pi up.
But Pi was already awake. It rubbed its eyes, and sat up in its chair.
”Pi, get some more sleep. It's still early.” He spoke hurriedly as he got dressed. He took a quick a glance at it, and noticed that Pi's eyes were brighter than they were yesterday, and that it seemed to be in good mood. He wasn't sure if it was an act or not.
”Eek.” Pi shook its head, and jumped off the basket hammock. Zhang Zian was about to help it, but it landed steadily and didn't need his help.
What was going on?
Zhang Zian scratched his messy hair, and was confused. Without realizing it, he'd already forgotten about what had happened last night, as he was no longer so hopeful. He didn't expect any miracles to happen.
Anyways, it was good that Pi was finally becoming more energetic. He needed to go downstairs and open the door for Lu Yiyun quickly, in case she got sick from standing outside for too long.
He finished getting dressed and bumped into Famous, who had just walked out of the bathroom. He casually asked, ”Famous, why is it so quiet this morning? Why didn't any of you wake me up?”
Famous was chewing on its toothbrush, and vaguely answered, ”I don't know. I was the second to last one to wake up before you. Everybody seems quiet today. I don't know why, but it's impressive.”
Zhang Zian was speechless.
He looked at the time. It was only half an hour later than usual, but it was still early. Most commuters wouldn't get up this early, except for the poor ones from major cities who had to spend three hours riding the metro to get to work.
