Chapter 174 It’s time to go back

Yan Chu has been gone for almost three months.

During this period, Lu Yuanze took over all the big and small affairs in the base. Some people in the base had originally complained about Lu Yuanze's management of the base.

After all, Yan Chu's powerful strength is obvious to everyone, and Lu Yuanze was just a person responsible for growing vegetables before.

Later, Lu Yuanze used his plant powers to beat those people to a pulp, and the rumors finally stopped.

A few days later, Ling Ziyue came to Jiangcheng Base and walked around the base but couldn't find Yan Chu.

Only then did he learn from others that Yan Chu had left the base for some time.

Ling Ziyue found Lu Yuanze, who was now in charge of the base, and asked him why Yan Chu was not there.

Lu Yuanze didn't want to tell him and chose to remain silent.

The more Ling Zi stared at him, the darker the gray eyes became.

"Gu Qinyuan... is dead?"

Lu Yuanze's eyelids twitched. He learned from Wu Yingzhou that Ling Ziyue's special ability was mind reading. He had tried hard to control himself from thinking about those things, but he didn't expect Ling Ziyue still knew it.

The more Ling Ziyue knew about Gu Qinyuan's identity as the Zombie King, the more he knew that his strength was undoubtedly powerful, but he could not understand why Gu Qinyuan died suddenly.

It’s just an evolved zombie that successfully sneaked into the base. How could it kill Gu Qinyuan?

That's the Zombie King.

Lu Yuanze took a deep breath and said to Ling Ziyue, "Can you keep this matter secret from the central base for me? After all, it's Yan Chu's private matter, and I don't want her to be affected by it."

Ling Ziyue raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully.

"Didn't my sister tell you before she left? I love my sister so much, of course I won't do anything that would harm her."

Lu Yuanze was startled and looked up at the black-haired and gray-eyed boy in front of him.

He realized belatedly that Ling Ziyue also liked Yan Chu.

After that, Ling Ziyue came several times more.

The last time he came, Ling Ziyue stood under the eaves and said to Lu Yuanze in a cold tone:

"I didn't mention this matter, but the Central Base still received the news that my sister had left the Jiangcheng Base. Now Yang Qianjun no longer trusts me as much."

Lu Yuanze narrowed his eyes slightly.

This means that there are other people in this base who are secretly passing messages to the central base.

"Got it. I'll check."

Ling Ziyue glanced at him sideways and continued, "I also got some intelligence recently. It was from the Far East base."

Lu Yuanze pressed on: "Is it related to Yan Chu?"

Ling Ziyue raised an eyebrow. "They said that the center of Far East City, dozens of kilometers away from them, was originally the most densely populated area for zombies. But all those zombies were killed off overnight, and now the entire city is filled with zombie corpses."

As she spoke, Ling Ziyue curled the corners of her mouth: "The only one who can do such a thing, who would deliberately do such a thing, is probably my sister."

Lu Yuanze was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was feeling bitter or something else, and his emotions were difficult to discern.

After dealing with the hundreds of zombies gathered on this commercial street, Yan Chu casually took out a pack of wet wipes and carefully wiped off the blood stains on his hands.

During this time, she has killed millions of zombies and even drawn an extremely rare "copy" card.

But I still didn’t draw the resurrection card.

As long as she has one, she can copy a second one.

Potato followed her and looked at his work panel silently.

[Progress in killing the Zombie King (100%)]

[Save the World Progress (99.25%)]

It’s almost there, almost there. Just kill a few more zombies and its mission will be completed.

After wiping her hands, Yan Chu looked at her lottery interface.

She has stockpiled more than 10,000 tickets, which is enough to guarantee a UR card.

Yan Chu pressed the card draw button continuously as usual until the colorful light finally came on.

She didn't hold much hope, after all, all her previous hopes had turned into disappointment in the end.

However, when the smoke cleared and she saw the words on the card clearly, her eyes suddenly widened.

Resurrection card?

She...got it?

Did you really get it?!

Just in case, Yan Chu quickly used the copy card to copy the resurrection card, and then summoned Gu Qinyuan's frozen body.

As soon as she thought about it, the thick layer of ice that wrapped around Gu Qinyuan cracked with a snap, and broken ice fragments scattered all over the ground.

His body was intact, but his face was pale without a trace of blood.

Yan Chu took a deep breath and mobilized all his supernatural powers to activate the "Resurrection Card" on Gu Qinyuan!

Golden light rushed into his heart, until the light golden light completely surrounded him, and his face gradually turned red.

Then, Gu Qinyuan slowly opened his eyes.

Yan Chu felt relieved all of a sudden. The long-standing tension and anxiety finally came to an end at this moment. Her eyes were sore and tears suddenly flowed out uncontrollably.

After Gu Qinyuan sat up, he looked around at the desolate and dilapidated streets littered with corpses, and then his eyes fell on her.

Seeing the tears on her face, his eyes moved slightly, but there was an unfamiliar blankness in his eyes:

"Who are you?"

His eyes were like looking at a stranger he had never seen before.

Yan Chu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"...You, you don't know me?" she asked.

Gu Qinyuan shook his head expressionlessly: "I don't know him."

Yan Chu's heart sank, and he suddenly put his hand on his chest.

The steady heartbeat sound came clearly through the palm of his hand.

He had a heartbeat, which meant he was human again.

Gu Qinyuan didn't move, but just looked at her quietly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Yan Chu withdrew her hand in a daze, then subconsciously clenched it, her fingertips sinking into her palm, and a sharp pain spread throughout her heart.

"Potato, what should I do... He doesn't remember me."

She had indeed considered this possibility at the time. If Gu Qinyuan were to be resurrected, would he be resurrected as a human or a zombie? Would he still have any memories of his time as a zombie?

That's why she needed to experiment on those level three zombies first, and then she could decide whether to really kill Gu Qinyuan.

However, how could the story always go as she wishes?

...But, that's fine, it's fine to just forget everything.

She will leave eventually, and it may be a good thing for Gu Qinyuan to forget all this.

Potato quickly circled around Gu Qinyuan, touching his chin with a puzzled look on his face.

[Master, I always feel...]

Before it could finish its words, Yan Chu stood up.

"How far have I progressed?"

Potato was startled and answered reflexively:

99.25%.

"In other words, if I kill a few more zombies, I can complete the mission and return to the real world."

Yan Chu forced a smile and said, "I've been out for so long, it's almost time to go back."
