Chapter 335 Living Zombies 12
Chapter 335 Living Zombies 12
"We meet again, driver."
Looking at the smiling face outside, the driver wondered if Xi Cheng would break down the door if he closed it now.
"Shuangwen, who's here?"
"Shuangwen, who's here?"
In front of him was his mother, and behind him was his tiny daughter, just learning to speak.
Xu Shuangwen sighed: "Are you... alright?"
Xi Cheng had no interest in visiting strangers' homes, so he stood at the door and explained his purpose.
"How could the base possibly agree to such a thing?" Xu Shuangwen's expression changed. Two people and a zombie venturing into the apocalypse was almost certain death. How could the base possibly agree to send their precious researchers to their deaths?
"So we went secretly!" Xi Cheng said with absolute confidence.
Xu Shuangwen's temples throbbed with veins. He slammed the door shut behind him, gritting his teeth, "Who's talking to you or us?"
"I need a reliable water-based ability user, and you are reliable, of course, you and us."
Xu Shuangwen felt a sense of helplessness, like he had been tricked. He should have reported Xi Cheng the moment he got back.
“I won’t let you go for nothing.” Xi Cheng held up the bag he was carrying and presented it to Xu Shuangwen.
"Asthma medication, heart medication, two hundred jin of meat coupons, five hundred jin of grain coupons, and two gun retrieval permits." Xi Cheng generously offered his terms: "As long as you come with me, all of these are yours."
Xu Shuangwen could no longer resist taking his eyes off those treasures. His wife had asthma, his mother had heart disease, and the meat-eating guns were the hard currency of the apocalypse.
This guy is damn generous, damn good at understanding him.
"The base will absolutely not let you..." His mouth moved weakly.
"Go out quietly as soon as the base opens tomorrow morning. I believe you will make a smart choice." He patted Xu Shuangwen on the shoulder: "Besides, it will be very safe to go out this time. Your mission is not to fight, but to do some cleaning."
"Believe me, there's no housekeeping job in the world that's easier."
Xu Shuangwen remained expressionless; it would be truly bizarre for him to believe such nonsense.
Can……
He stared intently at the large bag of items, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go out an hour after opening the door. I need time to exchange for the guns and medicine."
These two things are even harder to find than grain, so he wants to take them home first.
"You'll see what a smart choice you made!" Xi Cheng grinned, his teeth flashing in the night, giving Xu Shuangwen a sense of helplessness, as if he had been tricked.
The next morning, he took his important belongings home and then went out again under the worried gaze of his mother and wife.
The car stopped at a side gate of the research institute. Xi Cheng led out a struggling and howling zombie, put her into the car, and then got in himself.
The moment the car door closed, the struggling zombie fell silent and politely said, "Thank you."
It's no exaggeration to say that at that moment, Xu Shuangwen floored the accelerator and almost crashed into the wall.
Seeing this, Ling Yi quickly reached out and patted him hard on the shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "Calm down!"
How can he remain calm?
This zombie can talk!
How long has it been? The zombie with only a little intelligence has turned into a talking zombie!
If she continues to evolve like this, zombies will eventually rule over humanity!
"Look at you, so naive," Xi Cheng said disdainfully. "Is it strange that zombies can talk?"
Xu Shuangwen: "..."
So tell me, besides this zombie, who else can talk?
Tell me, and I'll eat that zombie alive, okay?
His mind was filled with a dense barrage of thoughts, but his facial muscles were so stiff that he could barely open his mouth.
"Get out of here. You'll understand why once you're out."
Ling Yi was helpless.
These two humans, one making a big fuss and the other being sarcastic, actually needed a zombie like her to lighten the mood.
It seems like you humans are really doomed.
Xu Shuangwen's heart pounded. He drove all the way out of the base, and after driving for most of the day, he finally arrived in a medium-sized county town following Xi Cheng's directions.
Because this place is far from the base and the resources have long been exhausted, no hunting teams have come here for a long time. Only the zombies that have not been eliminated wander around the streets.
Xi Cheng immediately opened the car door and got out, smashing the head of a zombie with a single punch, then took out its crystal core and handed it to Xu Shuangwen: "Wash it clean!"
The combination of dirty hands and a dirty crystal core, along with the pungent smell, stunned Xu Shuangwen for a moment before he sprayed water to clean the crystal core.
After washing it several times, Xi Cheng handed the crystal core to Ling Yi: "Eat it, one by one."
The tone was completely different from before.
What a hypocrite!
Xu Shuangwen's temple veins throbbed; Xi Cheng had exhausted his last bit of respect for researchers.
Ling Yi stared at the splattered blood on Xi Cheng's short-sleeved shirt, feeling as if her non-existent sense of taste was rebelling.
She first took the crystal core, threw it into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. Then she turned around and pulled out two steel pipes from the back of the car.
Well, getting tainted by the filth of killing zombies is inevitable, so to avoid being contaminated by both sight and smell, she decided to join in.
As the saying goes, "one who lives in a fish market for so long will not smell the stench," as long as she smells just as bad, she cannot dislike Xi Cheng.
Xu Shuangwen stared blankly as the two of them smoothly swallowed the crystal core and then charged into the zombie horde with their weapons. For a moment, he had the urge to step on the gas and turn around and run away.
Sir, something terrible has happened! The zombie king is about to appear, and it was even raised by humans!
Ling Yi, who was charging forward, suddenly turned around. Her hazy eyes stared straight at his face through the glass, instantly silencing him.
Sorry, sir, I can't escape. Good luck to everyone.
"Don't be afraid, Yi Yi, he can't go back." Xi Cheng said with a smile.
He was much faster at killing zombies than Ling Yi, who had just acquired some martial arts skills.
This wasn't because Xi Cheng was powerful, but because she had someone's scent on her.
The zombies, having caught the scent of fresh humans, had no patience to entangle with Ling Yi and pounced on Xi Cheng one by one.
Some zombies thought Ling Yi was in their way and even stretched out their long arms to push her.
A small well mark was pushed out of Ling Yi's forehead. You like to eat people, huh? You're slowing down her cleanup, huh? Then die!
The saying "We are all of the same origin, why should we fight each other so fiercely?" doesn't exist in this world, so Xu Shuangwen could only use "Holy crap!" to describe what he saw and heard today.
These two rushed into the horde of zombies and slaughtered them. After they were done, they collected the zombie cores into their small boxes. Once the boxes were full, they would return to the zombies and have them cleaned.
The water flow washed the crystal nuclei clean again and again, and Lingyi swallowed the shiny crystal nuclei into her mouth.
During this time, Lingyi tried her best not to think about whether the unsterilized crystal nuclei were clean.
When humans eat pig intestines, they don't seem to disinfect them, and they still seem to enjoy it.
At least what she eats comes from her brain!
