Chapter 336 Living Zombies 13
Chapter 336 Living Zombies 13
Over the course of three days, Ling Yi continued to swallow crystal cores countless times.
The aura emanating from her, along with traces of humanity, grew stronger with each crystal core she consumed.
When the day's zombie hunt ended, Ling Yi's hazy eyes had turned into clear brown, and her hair, which had been like weeds, had regained its human-like luster.
The deep, bone-revealing teeth mark above her wrist had disappeared long ago.
Apart from her skin still having a slight bluish tinge, she was practically a normal human being.
Xu Shuangwen watched helplessly as the zombies transformed into living people right before his eyes. He watched Ling Yi go from slashing zombies with her knife to emitting tiny bolts of lightning, and then to the heavenly thunder descending upon the world. His heart grew numb.
He would even occasionally think of something even more terrifying: were there many zombies like Ling Yi hiding among humans?
Whenever he thinks about this, his bones feel cold.
I'd rather be delusional than have such a terrifying thing happen.
If zombies infiltrate the unsuspecting human world, the resulting scene will be even more terrifying than the early stages of the apocalypse.
After all, the zombies nowadays are not like the ones in the early days when they had trouble even walking.
A light blue hand gently patted Xu Shuangwen's shoulder, and Ling Yi's voice, indistinguishable from a human's, reached his ears: "Don't think too much, you can't kill me anyway, come and cleanse my crystal core."
Xu Shuangwen: "..."
The way this couple talks is so awkward it's suffocating.
He resignedly released a stream of water, repeatedly cleaning the charred crystal core.
The hand, indistinguishable from a human's, took the crystal core from his face again and ate it clean, as if it were a peanut.
After a long period of treatment, her once thick nails have regained their thin, glossy appearance, making them look harmless.
But Xu Shuangwen knew that the nails were not as gentle as they appeared.
Just now, a speed-type evolved zombie appeared.
He could easily leap out of the sea of lightning and bite the necks of his own kind.
It was at that moment that Xu Shuangwen saw Ling Yi's thin fingernails suddenly grow more than ten centimeters long, and in an instant, she sliced off the zombie's head.
The evolved zombies were practically made of iron, yet she killed them so easily. Need I say more about her physical strength?
That's true. Zombies without intelligence wouldn't actively hunt their own kind like she does, and relying solely on eating people wouldn't allow them to evolve into a powerful form like her.
So the question is, what will she do after evolving?
Does she really want to be an ordinary person?
Did Xi Cheng know what a terrifying adversary he had unleashed upon humanity?
“Control your expression,” Ling Yi said quietly. “Worrying about the country and its people doesn’t suit your walnut-sized brain. You should go play in the mud with Xi Cheng.”
Xi Cheng, who had painstakingly hunted down a large number of zombie crystal cores, was speechless.
He seemed to hear someone talking badly about him behind his back.
Oh, it's Yi-yi. Then it's alright.
"Yi Yi?" He walked over to Ling Yi in a few steps, casually tossed the crystal core toward Xu Shuangwen, and asked, "What's wrong with his brain? Did Duanxian upset you?"
As he spoke, he gave the person a malicious look.
Xu Shuangwen, who was diligently washing the crystal cores, finally couldn't help but roll his eyes.
In terms of intelligence, he couldn't possibly be worse than Xi Cheng!
After all, he couldn't do something as stupid as using himself as bait, circling around the county to lure zombies, and then standing still and letting others chop him up.
If Ling Yi hadn't been so precise in controlling her energy, he might have already been roasted Professor Xi!
Xu Shuangwen glanced disdainfully at Xi Cheng's retreating figure, then suddenly realized that he couldn't recall Xi Cheng's former ruthless, decisive, and intelligent demeanor.
In his eyes, Xi Cheng is now just a carefree husky who licks his lips and rubs against his owner even when the owner dislikes him.
Sneaky and cheap.
Xu Shuangwen was secretly criticizing Xi Cheng in her heart when she suddenly felt a sharp wind flash past her cheek.
He turned his head sharply, only to find a fist just inches away from his cheek.
His unshaven beard, which hadn't been cut for days, almost touched that hand.
Just moments ago, Xi Cheng had been acting like a husky, but now he smiled and said, "If you keep thinking nonsense, I'll kill you."
Like a wolf that smiles while hiding a knife.
Ling Yi continued crunching on the crystal core, ignoring all the chaos.
After several days of nourishing her body, she realized that the crystal core's transformation of her body had almost reached its limit.
The ability to speak after eating dozens of crystals has stopped. Now, even after eating hundreds of crystal cores, all she gets is smoother nails.
Given this situation, it's not worth wasting any more time here.
The end times loom over people, and everyone faces the constant threat of death.
As a human being with enough love and a sense of responsibility—let's call ourselves human for now—I'm willing to accept that.
How could she just stand by and watch everyone live in constant fear and anxiety?
So, let's go back and find Yan Leran's family heirloom.
With that thing, she believed that with her abilities, she could quickly develop something to stop the spread of the zombie virus and allow humanity to emerge from the fortress again.
For the sake of the people of the world, Yan Leran has no choice but to suffer a little. I hope she won't mind.
The zombie slowly blinked its incredibly flexible eyelids, its brown eyes appearing utterly innocent in the firelight, enough to deceive any kind-hearted person with compassion.
but……
"Yi-yi, you're really full of bad ideas."
Ling Yi expressionlessly stuffed the baked bun into Xi Cheng's mouth.
Okay, shut up.
Even God couldn't save you from your loose tongue.
With a steamed bun in his mouth, Xi Cheng mumbled, "How about we go check out a few other counties? The rate of killing zombies here is already very low, and it's simply not enough to meet Yi Yi's needs."
Xu Shuangwen paused in washing the crystal core. Was he still not satisfied?
How exactly do you want to be satisfied?
Could she just raise her hand and unleash a sea of lightning as large as the base?
Please think about everyone's perspective, okay? Not everyone wants to be a grilled bird like you.
He glanced resentfully at Xi Cheng's retreating figure, only to be met with a punch from Xi Cheng, who seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.
Ling Yi shook her head and refused Xi Cheng's offer, saying directly, "Let's go back to the base. I need to take my revenge."
Well, let's just say it's for revenge.
Xi Cheng glanced regretfully at Ling Yi's hair, which hadn't fully recovered to its best size yet, and thought to himself that there would be plenty of time in the future. Then he obediently nodded and said, "That's settled then. I'll keep watch for you."
Xu Shuangwen's hand trembled, and he knocked a crystal core to the ground.
He silently picked up the crystal core covered in dirt, rinsed it with water again, and then put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
That's right, he learned this trick during his work over the past few days.
It's a bit choking, but it's cool.
he likes.
