99 Days of Scavenging

The group of people in the capital base, who were on high alert, looked exactly like zombies, with their severed limbs and exposed intestines making them particularly conspicuous. They might even be mistaken for visiting relatives.

It's just that there are a lot more "relatives" than usual.

They were carrying large and small bags like they were visiting relatives, and there were even several zombies carrying things together. Those with good eyesight could even see what those things were.

They even have things like large beds and large wardrobes!

Surely these zombies can't possibly need to sleep or change clothes, right?!

Furthermore, since the zombies did not swarm towards the base to attack, everyone at the base was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Everyone turned to the base leader, hoping he would come up with a solution.

"What should we do now?"

The speaker had already learned from the base leader that the news that "the Pingcheng Zombie King came to deliver a gift" was something that would make others think he was mentally ill. However, the scene before him was something that could not be explained by a mental illness at all.

So, the possibility that the news is true... is actually pretty damn high!

So here we are, how should we handle this situation? Should we expel them? Attack them? Or... well, try to treat them like guests?

It's not right to just stare blankly like that all the time, is it? People can't handle this kind of pressure!

Before the head of the capital base could say anything, a commotion broke out among the zombie horde outside.

Amidst the heightened vigilance of humanity, a group of strikingly designed zombies emerged from the horde.

Several neatly dressed, tall, and fairly good-looking zombies were seen carrying a large outdoor chair, resembling an ancient sedan chair carried by eight men, so exaggerated that it immediately attracted attention.

On this extravagantly large chair sat a woman with her legs crossed.

Upon seeing the woman, most people's first reaction was, "I wonder which little princess is out shopping."

The woman on the chair didn't have a particularly alluring or feminine appearance; instead, she was quite cute and delicate. Coupled with her carefully chosen, slightly glamorous dress and hair accessories, she could easily be mistaken for a little princess.

but!

She's obviously a zombie!

The humans who realized what was happening all changed their expressions.

On the one hand, they despise themselves for being captivated by a zombie and finding it attractive; on the other hand, they are shocked, amazed, and even terrified by the level of evolution of zombies.

If this female zombie hadn't been mixed in with the horde of zombies and had stood alone in front of them, who could have immediately recognized that she wasn't human, but a high-level zombie?

Not only was it dressed in clean, undamaged clothes, but its hair was also neatly styled and styled with appropriate hair accessories to match its clothes. It even had exquisite makeup on!

Even the skin color, which is the most distinctive feature of zombies, is covered up by makeup. How can anyone tell them apart?

Does this mean we'll have to manually remove every human we encounter in the future? Makeup remover will become a necessity?

The Heijo Zombie Queen had no idea what kind of chaotic thoughts she had caused in the humans in front of her, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

Carried by eight men in a sedan chair to the front of the zombie horde, the Pingcheng Zombie King let out a roar towards the city.

Immediately afterward, all the zombies began to move at that roar.

—They held up the "gifts" in their hands.

The Pingcheng Zombie King clearly knew that humans couldn't understand what zombies were saying, so he directly ordered one of the high-ranking zombies beside him to gesticulate wildly, trying to express his meaning through body language.

Why don't you ask why the Pingcheng Zombie King doesn't demonstrate the gestures herself? Well, that would be quite unseemly, and someone who considers herself a lady wouldn't want to do something that would damage her image.

However, it is clear that the "sign language" of advanced zombies is not so easy to understand.

The humans stared wide-eyed for a long time before finally understanding the meaning: "Deliver the goods, no fighting."

.

This unprecedented exchange did not take long.

When the little robot was invited to the city gate by the leader of the capital base, the humans and zombies had been exchanging gestures back and forth for quite some time. Although they hadn't managed to communicate anything, the human-like behavior of the zombies made everyone, whether they were openly observing or secretly watching the area, feel much more relaxed.

At least, they genuinely believed that these zombies weren't there to attack the city, at least not now.

Some people were even secretly observing the zombies, a certain expectation quietly welling up in their hearts.

However, most of these zombies came from Pingcheng, and there were many of them, so the familiar faces they longed to see were not going to appear for a while.

The strange interaction between humans and zombies at the city gate did not change the little robot's expression at all. When he saw the Pingcheng Zombie King, he even greeted him very politely.

It was as if it wasn't a zombie king at all, but just an ordinary guest.

Pingcheng Zombie King's eyes lit up, and he shouted several sentences at the little robot.

"Okay. I understand, no problem." The little robot nodded.

As he spoke, ignoring the astonished looks from the humans around him, he took out a pill from the recycling bin and threw it at the Pingcheng Zombie King.

A gust of wind suddenly blew by, carrying the drug steadily into the hands of the Pingcheng Zombie King.

Then it was swallowed whole by the Heijo Zombie King.

Soon, like the other two zombie kings, the roar of the Pingcheng zombie king slowly changed. What appeared in everyone's ears was no longer an unpleasant hoarse voice, but a clear female voice.

Everyone at the Capital Base: "!!!"

The scene erupted in uproar!

They never expected to witness such a scene!

Their gazes kept shifting between the little robot and the zombie king of Pingcheng. Many people were rubbing their eyes, ears, and even pinching their flesh, wondering if they were dreaming or hallucinating.

The leaders of the capital base and the high-ranking officials standing nearby looked at the little robot with burning eyes. They tried to restrain themselves, but could not control their excitement. They took a few big steps over and grabbed the little robot's hands.

With a trembling voice, she asked, "Mr. Naji, what is that! What kind of medicine is that? Has an antidote been made?!"

They heard the zombie speak human language with their own ears!

You know, zombies are creatures that mutate after people die and become corpses. Now they've been made to speak human language. Isn't this drug, which reverses life signs, an antidote?!

Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Looking at the little robot is like looking at a savior.

While the Pingcheng Zombie King was still happily getting used to his new voice, the little robot took this opportunity to explain it to everyone.

He first shook his head to indicate that this was not an antidote.

Everyone's mood visibly dropped.

However, the little robot then stated that although the antidote for the zombie virus has not yet been produced, the research has made great progress. Currently, the zombie virus vaccine has been produced, and it is just waiting for the results of the final live experiment. If there are no problems, it can be put into use.

Everyone: "!"

W-what?

What did they hear?

"Mr. Naji, you mean... the vaccine is successful? A vaccine, a vaccine for the zombie virus??"

"It's not entirely certain yet. We'll consider it a success if the results come out tomorrow and there are no problems."

"Hahahaha, it's alright, it's alright, it's just one day, only one day." Everyone at the base was overjoyed.

They could tell that even the live experiment had reached its final stage, so there must have been no problems before! The chances of success were extremely high!

Some people couldn't help but ask the little robot what precautions to take when getting this vaccine.

If there are any requirements regarding physical condition or points, they should prepare in advance! Those who need to take care of their health should take care of their health, those who need to exercise should exercise, and those who need to earn money should earn money. They should all get vaccinated!

The little robot stated that there were no physical limitations. As for the points system, it was not responsible for that.

"However, this is only the first batch of vaccines, and it is only effective for one month. During this month, you will not be infected by zombie toxins, but after one month, your resistance will drop significantly, and you will need to get vaccinated again."

The little robot didn't hide anything from everyone, clearly stating its shortcomings and indicating that research on the antidote and subsequent vaccines would continue.

This flaw did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd in the slightest.

What a joke! Even if the vaccine only lasts a week, a day, or even just once, let alone a month, they'd be overjoyed!

This is a vaccine for the zombie virus!

Something that can resist the zombie virus!

With this, if they get scratched by zombies or drink water or eat food infected with the zombie virus, they won't suddenly turn into zombies!

This adds so much protection to life safety!

Moreover, the emergence of a vaccine that can resist the zombie virus signifies something that anyone with a brain can understand.

From now on, they will never again be without hope for the future in the apocalypse.

No matter how much time passes, this apocalypse will end someday!

Vaccines are the most powerful evidence of this!

The people at the capital base were overjoyed, and even the large horde of zombies outside couldn't dampen their cheers.

Startled by the cheers of the humans, the Zombie King of Pingcheng finally stopped chattering in human language to the surrounding zombies.

Having obtained what he wanted, the Pingcheng Zombie King directly instructed the zombies around him to hand over the "gifts" they had brought.

Of course, the capital base wouldn't dare let so many zombies into the city rashly; they all orderly piled the gifts under the city walls.

A whole bunch of random stuff.

The Heijo Zombie King specifically named these items as being for a human named Najitong.

No one dared to take anything from the capital base without permission.

Even if the Heijo zombie king didn't threaten them, they wouldn't take his things! Mr. Naji is the one who developed the virus vaccine, and the hope for the antidote is also in his hands. How could they offend him for a little bit of supplies?

Okay, even if it's not just a little bit, it won't do.

The little robot didn't refuse and took everything.

Before leaving, the Zombie King of Pingcheng told the little robot, "I'll have my men help you pick up trash too. Next time you get something good, don't forget to bring me some as well!"

Only then did she swagger away with the zombies from Pingcheng.

Soon, the dense horde of zombies vanished completely.

Meanwhile, at the capital base, no one cared about the zombies at the moment; everyone's attention was focused on the vaccine!
