The Zombie Empress Builds Infrastructure in the Apocalypse

After Fan Xin was forced to self-destruct, she was reborn back to before the apocalypse descended. Unexpectedly, even after rebirth, she was still a zombie. Unwilling to repeat her previous life...

Chapter 27 Selling Myself

Seeing that Zhou Jinchen's face looked strange, Zhong Yi panicked and kept knocking on the door with his little hands: "Brother, brother, brother, get up, brother..."

Zhou Jinchen pulled Zhong Yi away: "Get out of the way, I'll break the door open."

Zhong Yi stood aside obediently.

Zhou Jinchen took a few steps back, took a deep breath, ran towards the door and slammed it hard.

The door opened from the inside.

When Fan Xin saw Zhou Jinchen rushing towards her, she turned sideways. Zhou Jinchen lost his strength and fell heavily into the room.

"Hiss!" He gasped, his shoulder hitting the ground in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a long time.

Fan Xin turned and looked at him, asking with insincere concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Jinchen forced out a twisted smile: "It's okay..." No way!! It hurts so much!!!

Fan Xin reached out and pulled Zhou Jinchen up, looking at the two of them: "What are you doing?"

Zhong Yi whispered, "We've been knocking on the door for a long time, but my brother didn't respond. We were worried that something might happen to him."

Hearing this, Fan Xin's brows softened a little, and she touched Zhong Yi's head: "I'm fine."

"Yeah!" Zhong Yi smiled and nodded to Fan Xin.

Zhou Jinchen rubbed his still aching shoulder and didn't want to say a word.

Fan Xin turned to look at Zhou Jinchen: "Sorry to make you worry."

Zhou Jinchen was stunned. He probably didn't expect Fan Xin to say such a thing, especially to him. His face flushed red and he looked away uncomfortably. "Well, I'm not that worried."

Fan Xin was unconscious for a while and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach after waking up.

She couldn't describe the feeling, it was a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearable.

Gurgle~

Zhou Jinchen and Zhong Yi both looked at Fan Xin.

Fan Xin was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and looked at her stomach.

Zhong Yi tilted his head: "Brother, are you hungry?"

Hungry, this word is very far away from Fan Xin.

As a zombie, the hunger she feels is the thirst for human blood, which is different from hunger in the human sense.

Having been a zombie for ten years in her previous life, she had long forgotten what it felt like to be hungry.

"I'm hungry too, boss. Do you have anything to eat?" Zhou Jinchen's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively.

Fan Xin touched her belly and fell into deep thought.

Carefully recalling my memories as a human, it seems that when my stomach feels uncomfortable like this, it means I am indeed hungry?

But why was she hungry? In her previous life, even when she reached the level of Zombie King, she had never experienced such a feeling.

Does this change prove that her body is recovering step by step?

Was it the spiritual fruit in the space that caused her to change like this? Could the spiritual fruit allow the zombies to gradually restore the mechanisms of the human body?

If it’s true…

Fan Xin had no expression on her face, but her heart was trembling.

"Uh, yeah, is there nothing left?" Zhou Jinchen looked at Fan Xin's expressionless face and felt a little scared. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Then, let's go out and see if we can find something to eat?"

Fan Xin came back to her senses and glanced at Zhou Jinchen. She shook her head: "No need."

She took out a double-boiled hot pot, a packet of clear soup hot pot ingredients, a packet of red soup hot pot ingredients, and then she also took out a lot of hot pot ingredients such as hot pot meatballs, cod and beef, etc.

Zhou Jinchen stared in amazement at these things that appeared out of thin air.

Although he had been shocked by the pig that Fan Xin conjured up out of thin air, he was still shocked when he saw Fan Xin taking out so many things like a magic trick.

"Yes, is it a spatial ability? Or is it telekinesis?" Zhou Jinchen's eyes widened.

Fan Xin: "Spatial ability."

Zhou Jinchen reached out and pinched his face. It hurt, it really did!

"Wow, brother, your superpower is amazing! It's a must-have tool for killing people and robbing at home and traveling!!" Zhou Jinchen really knelt down to Fan Xin.

What a strong leg he has embraced!

Not to mention one zombie, he wouldn't want to leave even if a group of them came!!!

Fan Xin took out the liquefied gas and gas stove, turned on the fire, put the hot pot base into the double-flavored pot, and poured in mineral water.

Zhong Yi sat obediently at the table, looking at the slowly boiling soup, his eyes slightly dimmed.

"Kid, come and eat some sausage." Zhou Jinchen picked up a piece of sausage with chopsticks and put it in Zhong Yi's bowl.

Zhong Yi held the bowl, looked at the hot sausage in the bowl and glared at Zhou Jinchen: "I can pick it up myself!"

"Then give it back to me." Zhou Jinchen didn't mind at all and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the sausage.

Zhong Yi picked up the sausage with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, bit off most of it, and mumbled, "I'm not giving it to you."

Fan Xin picked up the cooked thousand-layer tripe from the pot, rinsed it with seasoning in a bowl, and put it into his mouth.

A strange yet slightly familiar taste swept over her taste buds. Fan Xin was stunned for a few seconds before she started chewing.

Mille-feuille was her favorite food when she was still a human, and she hasn't eaten it for a long, long time.

The organs of zombies are dead. Except for the crystal cores in their brains that can absorb human blood and the crystal core pills that carry energy, eating anything else will only speed up the decay of their bodies.

Unexpectedly, after her rebirth, not only did her body begin to recover, but her taste buds also recovered.

"Brother, eat." Seeing Fan Xin in a daze, Zhong Yi picked up a piece of beef from the pot and put it in Fan Xin's bowl.

Fan Xin nodded: "Yeah."

After daybreak, the temperature rises rapidly, and it is quite hot to eat hot pot at this time.

Zhou Jinchen was sweating profusely from the heat, but he still kept eating. He felt that he had never eaten such delicious hot pot in his life.

Sweat slid down and almost got into his eyes. Zhou Jinchen had to put down his bowl and chopsticks and wipe the sweat off his face with his sleeve, but when he looked up.

Fan Xin didn't have a drop of sweat on him. He looked clean and refreshed. He ate the hot pot slowly and gently.

Zhou Jinchen: “…”

He glanced again at the child who was almost clinging to Fan Xin. Although he was sweating a little, he was not as miserable as him. His clothes were almost soaked.

Zhou Jinchen rolled his eyes, moved a little, and moved directly to the other side of Fan Xin.

Fan Xin glanced over.

Zhou Jinchen chuckled and said in surprise, "I was wondering why this kid got so close to you. Turns out you're so cool! It's so comfortable, he's like a human ice cube!"

Fan Xin: “…”

Fan Xin waved her hand and a piece of ice fell into Zhou Jinchen's arms: "Stay away from me."

Zhou Jinchen held the ice cube and laughed foolishly for a while, then felt a little sad. How come Fan Xin had so many superpowers, but he didn't have any?

He looked at Fan Xin with envy for a while, then returned to his seat with the ice cubes and continued eating.

"Burp~" Zhou Jinchen let out a long burp.

"No, I'm so full, I can't eat anymore, it's already at the back of my throat, I feel like it's about to come out..." Zhou Jinchen leaned back, supported himself on the ground with his hands, tilted his head back and said to the ceiling.

Seeing this, Fan Xin also put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhong Yi: "Are you full?"

Zhong Yi nodded and touched his belly: "I'm full."

After eating, we packed up and continued on our way.

Fan Xin asked Zhou Jinchen to wash the pots and pans, and then put the liquefied gas and other things into the space.

When Zhou Jinchen washed the pots and pans and brought them back, Fan Xin was already waiting for him in the car with Zhong Yi.

"Boss, where should we put these things?" Zhou Jinchen shook the pot and bowl in front of Fan Xin.

Fan Xin directly put the things in his hand into the space.

Zhou Jinchen's hands were empty in an instant. He clenched his hands, and they were truly empty. This was simply amazing. He climbed into the car, sat down, closed the door, and impatiently leaned over the seatback to lean over.

"Boss, how did you get your superpowers? Can I have superpowers too? What do I need to do to activate them?"

He asked several questions in a row and looked at Fan Xin expectantly.

Fan Xin withdrew his gaze from Xu Yan.

When she came down from upstairs, she glanced at Xu Yan who was sitting in the car. She was still in the same posture as yesterday, without any change. It was obvious that her actions last night did not attract the attention of the zombies.

It seems that her act of sealing all the gaps with tape is feasible.

But when she got on the car just now, Xu Yan immediately looked at her with such greedy and longing eyes. If Fan Xin had not been a fourth-level zombie and was suppressing Xu Yan tightly, she might have pounced on her.

Fan Xin retracted her gaze and glanced at Zhou Jinchen who was almost climbing from the back seat to the front.

To be honest, during the time he had known Zhou Jinchen, he had a pretty good overall impression of him.

Although he was a little talkative and a little timid, he was so scared when he was in danger that he still rushed back, and he was still useful.

Humans will gradually figure out that crystal cores can help them advance. In fact, people who have read novels have guessed that crystal cores can be found in zombies' brains, but they just don't dare to try it easily.

Since it's bound to happen sooner or later, there's nothing wrong in doing a favor.

What's more, there is a strange elixir condensed in Zhou Jinchen's body, and it is only a matter of time before his super powers are stimulated.

"You want super powers?"

Zhou Jinchen nodded repeatedly. Who wouldn't want to? That was a supernatural power. Zhou Jinchen's heart was itching, and he stared at Fan Xin eagerly.

When Fan Xin asked this, did it mean that he really had superpowers?

Zhou Jinchen rubbed his hands together, then reached out and Fan Xin massaged his shoulders. "Hey, boss, what should I do? Can you teach me?"

Fan Xin nodded and slowly replied while driving, "I can help you, but what do you want in exchange?"

Zhou Jinchen: “…”

He wanted to cry but had no tears. He had nothing on him at the moment. What could he use to exchange for it?

If he could return to the city center, he could give money, food, and even a house, but... Fan Xin never went to the city center, and among all the things he owned, it seemed that only food was valuable in the apocalypse.

He thought of the hot pot he had just eaten, and it seemed that Fan Xin was not short of food either.

Zhou Jinchen was stunned for a moment and looked at Fan Xin pitifully.

"Boss, can I sell myself?"
