Chapter 11

Here comes the problem.

How can we test whether this piece of land can purify the semi-zombies in special conditions?

Gu Qi pondered for a second, just one second, not a second more.

The next moment, she took out the last hoe that came with the cave upgrade and quickly dug a hole in front of her.

A pit a little over 1.4 meters deep.

A pit big enough to "plant" a half-zombie.

After the pit was dug, in order to avoid obstruction that would result in poor purification effect, Gu Qi raised his hand and dispersed some of the vines, leaving only a few vines covering the eyes of the half-zombie.

After all this action, the half-zombie was still sleeping soundly, without any reaction.

That’s not right, there is still a reaction.

She murmured something in her sleep and turned over, wiping her mouth with her hand.

Gu Qi: “…”

This made her feel that the half-zombie she had heard of in her previous life was not the same as her. If the half-zombie in her previous life was as careless as her, Gu Qi felt that the other party would have been discovered before he even got into the Hope Base.

But it's okay this way.

Gu Qi lowered his eyes slightly, raised his hand and tapped the half-zombie's eyebrows lightly, making her sleep more soundly.

After making sure that the half-zombie wouldn't suddenly wake up, Gu Qi gently "planted" her into the pit.

Otherwise, if she suddenly woke up and found herself buried in the ground, unable to move with only her head left outside, the little girl would probably be scared, right?

Gu Qi pursed his lips slightly, secretly hoping that his guess was correct, so that he could save some spirit stones again.

On the other hand, if her experiment is successful, it would be a good thing for the half-zombie who has obviously restrained his desire and never eaten flesh and blood.

What Gu Qi didn't know was that it was precisely because she had no ill will towards the half-zombie, and instead had some goodwill towards her for some reason, that the half-zombie slept peacefully and sweetly.

After planting half a zombie, Gu Qi checked the cave panel while pressing his right hand on the ground, carefully feeling whether there were any changes in the energy under the soil.

Jiucang Cave

Repair progress: 1.25%

Current level: Level 1 hill

Upgrade conditions: host's foundation building, 10 second-level spiritual plants, 10 second-level ores, and 9998.4 high-quality spiritual stones.

Current functions: Concealment (Level 1, undetectable to players below Level 5 of the Golden Elixir/Supernatural Power), Storage (Level 1, unlocks some seed banks), Meditation (Level 1, efficiency and recovery speed increased by 2 to 5 times), Rest (a simple hut with a bed but no quilt), Purification (Level 1, unlocks a piece of pure land)

Unlocked facilities: Simple Hut, Biling Grassland (growing), Spirit Well

Gu Qi's eyes were fixed on the last item of the upgrade condition.

About five minutes later, Gu Qi felt some subtle changes in the energy in the soil under his palm. At the same time, the number in front of the high-grade spirit stone changed from 9998.4 to 9997.9.

Gu Qi's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

To avoid any unexpected omissions, Gu Qi placed his left hand on the half-zombie's brow and checked her condition.

After a moment, Gu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Her guess was correct. Purification was also effective against half-zombies. The death energy in the little girl's body was less than before, and there was a trace of pure spiritual power in her heart.

A very small amount of spiritual power, which can be easily overlooked without careful examination, but it does exist.

Gu Qi was certain that the half-zombie did not have this trace of spiritual energy in his body.

In other words, the creatures in the apocalypse are unable to purify such pure spiritual power without any violent energy on their own, whether they are zombies, mutants or people with special abilities.

However, this is just Gu Qi's guess at the moment. She does not have enough data to prove the correctness of this guess, but the situations of the apocalyptic creatures she encountered after she came back are indeed as she guessed.

The speculation about the cave's purification function has been confirmed, and now it's time to talk to the half-zombie.

It would take more than a short time to completely purify the half-zombie and convert all the foul air in its body into the spiritual power needed to upgrade the cave.

The sleeping spell that Gu Qi cast now could not last too long, and she could not stay in the cave forever.

In this way, it would be best if the half-zombie is willing to cooperate, which would save her a lot of effort.

If the other party is unwilling to cooperate, then she may have to find a different way to "talk" to the other party.

Gu Qi dug the half-zombie girl out of the soil again, cleaned her with the dust removal technique, and then took her into the cabin.

After entering the house, Gu Qi waved his hand to close the doors and windows to ensure that the other party would not see what was happening outside before the matter was settled.

The room darkened and then quickly brightened up again. The soft light came from the small chandelier on the ceiling, which was a magical instrument.

Apart from a wooden bed and a small chandelier, there is nothing else in the cabin. Wardrobes, bedside tables, chairs and the like will have to wait until the cave is upgraded.

Gu Qi threw out two ordinary vine seeds that he had collected on the way back, and the problem of no chairs was soon solved.

The first thing the half-zombie noticed after waking up was the pretty girl sitting in the wicker chair in front of her.

The two were very close, so close that she could clearly see her own reflection in the other's beautiful peach blossom eyes.

She was sitting on a rattan chair like the other one, her clothes were clean. If it weren't for the marks of being scratched by zombies, she would have thought that she had been changed while she was sleeping.

A bit strange.

The half-zombie thought to himself: This room is a bit strange, the beautiful girl in front of me is a bit strange, the rattan chair under them and the clothes on her body are also a bit strange.

She had a good family during her lifetime, one could even say a very good one, because some of her family members liked all kinds of wooden furniture. She had seen quite a few different kinds of precious wood, but she had never seen the wood used in this wooden house.

But what is certain is that the wood used in this wooden house and the wooden bed inside is better than all the precious wood she has ever seen before.

The rattan chair didn't feel like a dead object to her, and the clothes on her body were as clean as if they had been washed, but she was very sure that the clothes had not been touched.

What concerned her most was that the beautiful girl in front of her had a very special temperament, and she didn't seem like someone who could exist in this world. If she couldn't be sure that her body was still her own heartless body, she would have thought that she had traveled to another world.

The two zombies looked at each other in silence.

"Where is this?" The half-zombie was the first to break the silence and asked, "Are you the mutant who killed those zombies earlier?"

Gu Qi nodded and said, "It's me."

As for the previous question, Gu Qi said with a slightly warm look in his eyes: "This is my home."

Even though it has become shabby and small and no longer looks the same as it used to be, it is still her home where she has lived for hundreds of years.

After a moment of contemplation, the half-zombie asked again, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Indeed." Gu Qi nodded slightly, feeling a little surprised.

This girl seems to be quite smart, but I don’t know why she was so careless before. After being suddenly caught, she was not scared at all and instead slept very soundly.

Still sensing no ill will, the half-zombie lowered his eyes slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She didn't think that the other party couldn't see that she was no longer a human being. Then why did he not only have no malice towards her, but also have some kindness towards her?

The half-zombie asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about?"

Gu Qi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you want to turn back into a human?"

These words were like a thunderclap that struck the half-zombie's heart and exploded, making her unable to react for a moment. She just wondered if she had just heard it hallucinating.

"What did you say?" the half-zombie asked blankly.

Gu Qi asked again: "Do you want to turn back into a human?"

"I do!" The half-zombie nodded vigorously, looking at Gu Qi expectantly, "I do! I really, really want to!"
