Chapter 141 Wild Beasts Pounce on Their Prey
Jiang Yue pounced on Lu Yize, pinning him down and biting his shoulder with her teeth. The taste of blood filled her mouth, and Jiang Yue's dark eyes gleamed with a bloodshot light.
The stinging pain in his shoulder interrupted Lu Yize's probe. He hissed as he opened his eyes. As expected of a third-tier zombie, it was different after advancing. Its aggression had increased significantly compared to before.
"stand up."
Lu Yize lifted Jiang Yue by the back of her neck, raising the zombie. Jiang Yue opened her mouth, blood still stained the corners of her lips, which were originally thin and cool, now stained bright red with blood.
After advancing, the zombie's gray-black blood vessels faded and gradually returned to blue-purple. Its skin also gradually returned to a normal human color. Coupled with its blood-stained lips, at first glance, it was no different from a human.
Lu Yize saw Jiang Yue staring straight at him. After advancing to the next level, Jiang Yue was somewhat out of her mind. Let's just assume that the memories of being human had overwhelmed her and turned her brain into a mess.
Jiang Yue, her mind a complete mess, pounced on Lu Yize. Even though the back of her neck was grabbed, preventing her from biting, she kept moving closer and sniffing the food that was right in front of her.
The tip of her nose touched him, and her long hair fell to the corner of Lu Yize's mouth. The hair gently caressed him, and a tingling sensation spread, stimulating his nerve endings.
Lu Yize tightened his grip on the back of her neck, forcing Jiang Yue to look up. Although she was being controlled, at the moment their eyes met, one could still see a sharp glint in her dark pupils.
Like a taut wild beast, ready to pounce and hunt its prey at any moment.
Jiang Yue's current condition reminded Lu Yize of the time when Fan Jiangang was about to starve to death during his advancement.
It seems that every time Jiang Yue advanced in the previous stages, she would bite him after advancing.
So... Jiang Yue nibbled and bit at things several times before because she wasn't full?
After considering this possibility, Lu Yize flipped over and restrained Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue, who had calmed down, showed signs of losing control again.
Before she lost control, Lu Yize took out several pieces of exotic beast meat from his spatial storage. They were all high-level exotic beast meat, which would not rot in the spatial storage and would remain very fresh.
The moment the meat appeared, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped speaking and moving. Lu Yize pointed at the beast meat and said, "If you want to eat, eat this."
Although the food she wanted most was Lu Yize, even with her mind in turmoil, Jiang Yue still restrained her instincts. If Lu Yize's food reserves had to be kept, then she could only eat these.
Jiang Yue grabbed a piece of the exotic beast meat and gnawed on it, spilling the beast's blood on the ground. Lu Yize sat beside her, watching her starving appearance, and then took out a few more pieces of exotic beast meat from his spatial storage.
Based on Jiang Yue's usual appetite, she could probably only eat one piece of beast meat at most, but now she has already eaten five pieces.
Finally, after letting out a satisfied burp, he put down the sixth piece of food.
After eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Yue's eyes became clear and harmless. She even quietly put the leftover beast meat back in front of Lu Yize.
Lu Yize looked at the zombie in front of him, whose aggressiveness had suddenly disappeared and whose sharp eyes had become docile. After scrutinizing it for a moment, Lu Yize smiled slightly.
"So you haven't been eating enough?"
No wonder after the first two advancements, it was either sticking to things or trying to bite and gnaw on them. It turns out that after advancing, it wasn't full at all and could only look at the food to satisfy its cravings.
Jiang Yue was already being very lenient by not eating him directly.
Jiang Yue's mind was still in a mess, and she didn't react to these words, only licking the blood off her hands.
Seeing her covered in blood and the mess on the floor, he pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go take a shower, and I'll help you clean up your crystal core later."
This upgrade has really messed up my brain, causing my IQ to plummet.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue could still understand human speech. After standing there stunned for a while, she finally managed to analyze what the words were saying. The zombie, who had eaten and drunk its fill, cooperated by slowly moving into the bathroom.
While she was in the bathroom, Lu Yize recorded the commonalities between zombies leveling up and ability users leveling up: eating a lot helps stabilize abilities.
However, advancement requires a large amount of special abilities, so crystal cores or special ability cores are needed for assistance.
But the crystal cores and ability cores will eventually run out, just like in the end of the fifteen years after the apocalypse, when both humans and zombies had become numb to killing each other.
Lu Yize had already experienced the danger of advancing to the next level when crystal cores were scarce; he would die. Even if he knew how to cultivate, he would still die.
In order to survive, one must kill zombies that are not of our kind and seize their crystal cores; this seems like an unsolvable closed loop.
Half an hour after Jiang Yue entered the bathroom, the bathroom door was pushed open. Only a dim light was left on inside, and the bloodstains on the floor had been cleaned up.
Lu Yize looked toward the bathroom following the sound. The bathroom was brightly lit, with light shining from behind Jiang Yue, tracing curves and shimmering in the steam.
Jiang Yue's long hair was loose, and it seemed to understand its owner better than she did, covering up the parts that needed to be covered.
Lu Yize looked at Jiang Yue, who was completely naked, raised an eyebrow, and openly admired her, "Nice figure."
When Jiang Yue heard Lu Yize's voice, she glanced at him, but perhaps because she was going through a rebellious phase, after listening to him, she lay down on the bed like a floating corpse, grabbed the blanket and rolled it up a few times.
He wrapped himself up in the blanket like a silkworm cocoon, lying on his back with only his head sticking out. When he realized he couldn't see anything, he moved his body, blanket and all, to the foot of the bed.
She moved to the edge of the bed, rested her head on the edge, and looked up at Lu Yize sitting on the sofa.
Lu Yize got up and walked to the edge of the bed. His shadow fell on Jiang Yue's face. The dim light flickered, and Jiang Yue's dark pupils shimmered. Water droplets on her hair left glistening trails.
Jiang Yue stretched her hand out from under the covers, leaning back slightly. The blanket, which seemed about to fall, hung casually on her body. Her black nails looked even more threatening against her fair arms, and her cold fingertips touched Lu Yize's collarbone.
As he scrolled downwards, Lu Yize stared at her with an inscrutable expression, letting her do as she pleased, but then pulled the corpse even closer to him, his hand touching the corner of her lips.
His fingers caressed her soft, slightly warm lips, pried open her teeth, looked down at her from above, touched Jiang Yue's canine teeth, and checked the results of her washing.
The inspection revealed that cleaning had been done thoroughly.
As Lu Yize finished his examination and was about to withdraw his finger, the corpse bit him, and blood spread from the finger bone, filling the air with the smell of blood.
If Lu Yize were an ordinary person, he would have been infected with the zombie virus eight hundred times over.
Jiang Yue bit his finger, her eyes fixed on Lu Yize.
She grinned at Lu Yize, suddenly realizing what she wanted. Jiang Yue stood up, grabbed Lu Yize's clothes, forcing him to bend over, and tilted her head back to kiss his lips.
Lu Yize half-closed his eyes, taking in her expression. In his hazy, half-clear state, he was overcome with emotion. His wet hair clung to his face, and water droplets trickled down his collarbone.
