Chapter 34 (End)

It's that woman.

The rescued people passed through the wall one after another, left the school, and saw the light of day again. Xu Zhou could still vaguely hear their suppressed sobs on the other side of the wall. It was not until this moment that they were truly sure that they had been rescued and had really left the school.

They finally escaped from that cramped space.

Those who remained were Xu Zhou, Xun Chun, Xun You and Dong Xuan Cai.

The woman looked at Xu Zhou, stretched out her hand, and said nothing.

Xu Zhou placed the key in the woman's hand. There was a small flower ornament on top. She asked, "You gave me the key a long time ago, why did you ask me to go to the fourth floor?"

The woman said, "It's not time yet."

"What time?"

"You guys hurry up and get out. I have other things to do." The woman didn't answer and walked straight into the campus. Her steps were fast and her figure quickly disappeared into the thick fog.

Two people and two zombies stood in front of the wall.

"Where are we going now?"

"Let's go."

Xu Zhou turned around, walked through the small door, and left the school. Since the woman had said she was leaving, then she might as well leave.

But why did she feel a sense of determination when she saw the woman's back just now?

What will happen to her?

They hadn't walked far when a violent explosion erupted behind them. Smoke spread rapidly in all directions, carried by the air currents. The powerful impact even reached Xu Zhou and his companions. A mushroom cloud shot up into the sky, and they stared in shock at the location of the school behind them.

When I was in school, there must have been many people who thought about blowing up the school. Now this scene has actually appeared - someone actually blew up the school.

"No wonder she asked us to leave quickly."

"Oh my goodness, how much explosives does that take?"

"This mushroom cloud is quite nice." The system quietly took a photo.

The woman's figure appeared in Xu Zhou's mind again. She immediately turned and ran towards the school, saying, "You go meet them first. I'll go find her."

Xunchun followed Xu Zhou's steps without saying a word.

There were two people left, you looked at me, I looked at you, sighed, and followed.

Running is faster than walking. Xu Zhou quickly returned to the small gate in the wall. Without stopping, she made a detour to the school gate. The school had been bombed, so even if there were people, they shouldn't be on campus.

Sure enough, there was someone at the school gate.

There were two groups of people standing there, one group was women, and the other group was the two men who had just caught Xu Zhou. There was also an unfamiliar man next to them, with messy hair, thick stubble, black-framed glasses, and clothes that looked like they were just rags.

Xu Zhou just ran over and the man in black pointed at her and said, "It's her, she is the zombie."

An unfamiliar man looked over.

The man in white also said, "Yes, it's her. We have checked her identity and she is the perfect experimental subject. You will definitely succeed if you capture her!"

There was fear in the tone of both the man in black and the man in white.

Madman—this name suddenly popped up in Xu Zhou’s mind.

"It seems I was right about you two." The madman smiled and patted the man in white on the shoulder. It looked like a harmonious scene, unless you ignored the fact that the man in white's legs were shaking.

The woman held a dagger and pointed it at the madman: "Are you sure you want to move?"

"Shh." The madman took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it.

When the whistle sounded, the zombies hiding around the school responded in unison. The sound echoed, and countless zombies surrounded Xu Zhou and rushed towards his position. The one running in the front was the red-eyed zombie that Xu Zhou and the others were familiar with.

!!

She is a zombie—

Xunyou and Dongxuancai, who were running over from behind, were extremely shocked. Looking at the thin, human-like figure in front of them, it was hard to associate her with a zombie, especially since she was so alive, as alive as a human.

Before the two of them could digest this information, the appearance of the red-eyed zombies made their inner shock rise to another level - the madman's experimental results were even more terrible than they knew, he actually raised so many red-eyed zombies!

Everything happened so fast. Before Xu Zhou could make a move, the woman rushed forward with a dagger, her aim directly at the madman.

Of course, the madman did not sit there and wait for death. The moment the red-eyed zombie appeared, he immediately pulled the man in black and the man in white in front of him to block the woman's charge, and quickly turned around and ran away.

The zombies ran over, passed by the madman, avoided him, and formed a protective line behind him.

The two men who were used as shields were kicked to the ground by the woman. They rolled twice on the ground, got up and ran away in panic.

They had originally intended to leave, but on the way they ran into the madman, who had something on them, so they had no choice but to follow him back. Halfway through their journey, they saw the school bombed. When they arrived at the school, they saw the woman waiting at the gate.

Unexpectedly, the madman hid so deeply. The zombies in the school were blown up, and there were still zombies outside the school that he was researching. In order to save their lives, they had to tell the madman that they found Xu Zhou to be a zombie.

Fortunately, Xu Zhou appeared during the confrontation.

In order to divert attention, they sold Xu Zhou, but they didn't expect that the madman would use him as a shield. Fortunately, the woman's target was not them. The two of them protected their stomachs and ran through the zombies at a speed as fast as flying towards the position behind Xu Zhou.

A gust of wind blew by, and neither Xunyou nor Dongxuancai could catch them.

"You two go follow them. There are zombies here, so it's not easy for you to move." Xunchun said, standing in front of Xu Zhou.

The unexpected development of the matter did not allow them to think carefully, and they could not help much here. Xunyou and Dongxuancai looked at each other without saying a word, and turned to catch up with the two men.

The woman was very skilled. She moved among the zombies, occasionally kicking one to close the distance between her and the madman.

Xu Zhou and Xun Chun were not so lucky. They planned to chase the woman, but the zombies gathered too quickly and stopped them in the blink of an eye.

Led by the red-eyed zombie, the zombie swarm attacked the two zombies. These red-eyed zombies were different from the ones they had encountered first. Most of their eyes were covered in red, which was quite terrifying. It seemed that this was the madman's second-stage experiment.

The red-eyed zombie screamed.

Influenced by him, the zombies no longer recognized Xu Zhou and the others as their own kind, and rushed over with their fists raised.

Xunchun picked up a stick on the way here, and he waved it to block the zombies' advance. The zombies couldn't feel the pain, they stepped on the bodies of the zombies in front of them, rushed forward and bit them -

"The protective shield is open, charge, charge!" The system cheered in Xu Zhou's mind.

A transparent protective shield expanded from Xu Zhou's body, and the group of zombies were bounced away.

The madman had good eyesight. He saw the scene here and blew the whistle again without stopping. The sharp whistle made the red in the eyes of the red-eyed zombies deepen.

kill--

Kill them for me—

Commands were transmitted into the zombies' minds.

The madman raised his lips. What if she was a high-level zombie? What if she was the most perfect experimental subject? As long as she died, then he would have created the most perfect zombie. He was never like those two idiots who still wanted to capture her.

The madman was still fantasizing when he saw the woman getting closer and closer to him out of the corner of his eye.

Damn, this crazy woman is going to die too!

He quickly controlled several zombies to stop the woman.

"Sheng Mei, have you forgotten who saved you? Is this how you treat your savior?!"

A zombie bit the woman's arm, and blood splattered half of her body. She raised the dagger and stabbed it into the zombie's head, kicked the zombie away, spat out a mouthful of blood, stared at the madman, like a god who was taking lives, and moved towards him step by step.

"Didn't you always know I wanted to kill you?"

"What good will it do you?"

"Killing you would be a benefit."

The woman clenched her dagger, fought her way out of the zombie swarm, increased her speed, and ran towards the madman.

The red-eyed zombies pounced on the woman at the same time—

“Boom.”

The red-eyed zombie was bounced away by the protective shield.

Xu Zhou and Xun Chun, who ran over with the help of the protective shield, hurried over and stopped the red-eyed zombie. The two zombies stopped the threatening red-eyed zombie and prevented him from causing trouble for the woman.

"Oh."

The retreating madman blew the whistle again. This time the whistle was sharper and more piercing. The red in the red-eyed zombies' eyes filled their eyeballs, and the zombie group went crazy.

I ate a meal during the day and was so uncomfortable that I had to cover my ears.

At that moment, the red-eyed zombie jumped over the protective shield and grabbed the woman. The woman was a second slower, and the wound ran from her shoulder to her wrist. Warm blood flew onto Xu Zhou's arm, and the smell of blood filled his nose.

"Quickly control these zombies." said the system.

"Me?"

"Yes, it's you. I've upgraded, and you can control these zombies too." The system spoke quickly, "Concentrate and sense the signals emitted by the zombies in the air."

The pain paralyzed the woman. She shook her arms and attacked more ruthlessly, with the dagger swung only as an afterimage.

Xunchun glanced at Xu Zhou who was standing still, and he quickened his pace to deal with the zombies around the woman.

Under the protective shield, Xu Zhou stopped and tried to concentrate according to the system's instructions.

concentrated.

concentrated.

The zombie next to her suddenly roared and interrupted her.

“!”

Xu Zhou glared fiercely at the zombie with bloodshot eyes.

She adjusted her breathing and started again - it seemed like only a second had passed, and it seemed like a very long time had passed. She felt her consciousness return to her mind, back to the world of ice water and magma, and she sat cross-legged in the center.

A mysterious feeling, as if countless transparent silk threads were connected to her body. She opened her eyes and saw countless silk threads wrapping her up.

She touched a silk thread.

'Hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry'

Then touch the thread that is entangled with this thread.

'I don't want to run. I don't want to run 800 at all.'

Xu Zhou tried to use her consciousness to connect these threads. In an instant, countless information poured into her consciousness. It seemed as if cracks appeared in her consciousness, and the cracks spread rapidly. This information almost blew her up.

So this is how Xunchun felt back then...

Not fun.

Xu Zhou regained consciousness and staggered.

"Use my energy quickly." The system reminded off-site.

As soon as the thought came to her mind, a warm current flowed through Xu Zhou's body from top to bottom, mending her consciousness. When she tried to connect the silk thread again, she felt much better. Her head no longer hurt, and the silk thread was faintly increasing in number.

System: "Give orders and ask them to stop attacking."

Xu Zhou fed this sentence back to Si Xian.

The connected silk threads began to shake violently, as if many waves gathered together and wanted to overturn the sea. She felt like she was sitting in a small boat, tossing and turning with the surging sea. It was not a pleasant feeling at all.

Xu Zhou gritted his teeth, calmed himself down, and passed it on again.

The system silently cheered her up in its mind, and quietly moved some energy to lend to her.

The woman grabbed the zombie's head and threw it at the madman. Xunchun pushed the red-eyed zombie to the ground and punched him in the face.

As Xu Zhou persevered, the thread in her mind finally stopped trembling, and she successfully transmitted the command to the zombies. The zombies gradually slowed down, shaking their heads unsteadily, and stopped at the command, except for the red-eyed zombie who was still fighting Xunchun.

The zombies all turned their heads and stared at the madman.

Without the cover of the zombie horde, the madman was instantly exposed to everyone's attention.

The madman being stared at by countless pairs of eyes: "I——"

The woman rushed towards the madman in the next second.

The madman retreated to create some distance, and did not forget to try to blow the whistle again to control the zombies, but he blew it two or three times and the zombie group did not respond.

Xu Zhou: "Don't waste your energy. The zombies won't obey your orders now."

Damn zombies!

Hatred flashed in the madman's eyes. Looking at the woman running towards him, he curled his lips into a sneer: "If that's the case, then die with me."

Before the madman could finish his words, the system shouted, "There's a bomb! Run! Let the zombies run."

Xu Zhou immediately gave the order, telling the zombies to run as far as they could. She then pulled Xun Chun towards the woman.

The zombies scattered like birds and beasts.

The moment the woman and the madman looked at each other, she guessed his thoughts and threw the dagger in her hand at him. The dagger hit his left arm, and he paused. These few seconds were enough for the woman to pounce on the madman.

Madman: "Death."

The madman pressed the button hidden in his pocket with his right hand. At the same time, the woman pulled out a dagger and cut his neck. Bright red blood spurted from the aorta and splashed on her face.

The woman turned around and looked at Xu Zhou.

"Boom——"

The explosion of the bomb buried underground was even louder than the explosion that hit the school just now.

The thin and transparent protective shield blocked the scattered shock waves, and Xunchun covered Xuzhou's ears.

Time goes so fast and so slow.

Xu Zhou wanted to grab the woman's hand, but before he could reach out, he watched the woman and the madman being blown into pieces by the bomb. Blood and flesh were scattered in the air, and some flesh, whose name was unknown, fell onto the protective cover and slid to the ground.

Xu Zhou couldn't help but lie down and vomited.

Xunchun held Xu Zhou's shoulders with one hand and covered Xu Zhou's eyes with the other.

Under the smoke of gunpowder, only Xu Zhou and Xun Chun survived.

…

Xu Zhou stood in front of the tombstone.

The tombstone reads "Tomb of Sheng Mei", Sheng Mei is the woman's name.

"I only learned her name after she died." Xu Zhou murmured to himself, "It turns out she was the one who lost her daughter in the story of the new sequence."

The founders of the New Sequence are a group of passionate teenagers in their teens. Among them is a girl who claims to have traveled through time. She said that a person will appear in two years, and then the doomsday will be over, definitely.

"You really traveled through time? Then what do you think I'll wear tomorrow?"

"Well, until the one who saves the world arrives, we'll do a little work for him."

"Then we'll hug your thighs!"

"Woof woof."

So they created a new sequence and waited for this day to come.

Unexpectedly, he saved a madman on the way and lost his own life.

Before the apocalypse, Sheng Mei, who was on a business trip elsewhere, traveled across half the country in search of her daughter, only to find her own body. She stayed in the New Sequence just to avenge her daughter.

Xu Zhou: "She never thought she would survive."

Xunchun held Xuzhou's hand tightly: "This is her choice." So you don't need to blame yourself.

The photo on the tombstone was taken a few years ago. Sheng Mei was hugging her daughter and smiling brightly in front of a sea of ​​flowers.

Looking to the side, there is a row of tombstones with the same group photo on them. Five teenagers are making a "V" sign to the camera, and in the lower left corner, there is a meteorite Border Collie sitting upright.

The ending of the story seems unsatisfactory, even confusing, and it all ends there.

No one could answer Xu Zhou's many questions.

The new sequence of the red-eyed zombie incident ended with the madman and the woman perishing together, leaving the rest of the aftermath to the base. The two escaped men were also apprehended by Xunyou and Dongxuancai, but they were quick to tell others that Xu Zhou was a zombie, and the news spread rapidly.

Xu Zhou had no choice but to "elope" with Xunchun.

Xunyou, as a relative of the two zombies, learned the news the day before they "elope".

Xunyou: "I'm sorry."

Xu Zhou: "What are you sorry for?"

Xunyou opened his mouth to say something, but Xu Zhou interrupted him softly, "You won't be discouraged by the experience of the New Sequence, nor will you be depressed by our departure, right?"

"Your parents are waiting for you. We are going to find your brother's mother."

Xu Zhou waved his hand and left with Xunchun.

Xunchun turned around and said, "See you later."

Xunyou: "Okay."

The two zombies walked farther and farther away, leaving Xunyou standing there for a long time.

After the system upgrade, Xu Zhou could reward many zombies at once, allowing them to regain consciousness and return to human form. However, the zombies' body functions had long been damaged, and without the energy to sustain them, their lifespans were not much different from those of humans.

When energy ends, it is true death.

The system failed to collect energy, so it diligently urged Xu Zhou to complete the task every day, hoping to finish collecting it one day earlier and rush to the next galaxy to complete the task.

"Tell me, was it right or wrong for me to help them regain consciousness?"

"That's right, that's right! You can't skip work!" The system sounded the alarm.

Xu Zhou watched from a distance as a zombie regained consciousness and cried bitterly, without a single tear, just howling.

"Speak, Xunchun——"

"Exactly."

The apocalypse slowly begins to change, humans thrive, and zombies will eventually perish.

——THE END——
