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&#3...

Chapter 86

In the dim dungeon, people were imprisoned in cells separated by rows of wooden bars, some sitting or lying. Some looked listless, some were full of resentment, some were anxious, and some seemed to have accepted their fate and looked somewhat relaxed.

"How did you make this thing?" A man said with a grim expression, punching the wooden fence, but the fence didn't move at all.

They were a group of people with special abilities who were trapped in this dungeon and couldn't do anything about this damn cell.

An earth-type psychic, a non-toxic grass root dangling from his mouth, taunted, "Don't waste your energy. I don't know how this cell was built. Using psychic powers to break through is a complete failure."

When he was imprisoned, he thought about escaping through the earth, but the facts taught him a lesson, and he could not leave this dungeon even if his superpowers were exhausted.

There was also a fire-type mutant who originally thought that the wooden fence could be burned with a fire, but in the end he used up all his superpowers and still couldn't burn the wooden fence.

"What should we do now? Are we going to be trapped here and die?" The few people who were imprisoned yesterday did not have such a good attitude as them, and they were all very irritable.

"What else can I do? I can't run away." The water-based mutant condensed a ball of water and drank it in big gulps. He licked his lips and felt a little full.

"Damn it!" Someone cursed and kicked the wooden fence hard.

Before, they saw someone selling food on the roadside. The aroma of the food was tempting, but the person selling the food looked like an ordinary person.

As the psychics had been rampant for a long time, they naturally went for it as usual. It was the end of the world, and the psychics were superior to everyone else. They looked down on ordinary people like ants without any concern.

Who knew they would hit a wall this time? Just as they were about to grab it, a group of zombies suddenly appeared and surrounded them. Each of those zombies had special abilities.

These zombies were very united and well-coordinated, and their special abilities were also strong, so they were really overpowered.

After beating them until they were black and blue, they were tied up and taken to this base and locked up in the dungeon.

In fact, until now, they still couldn't figure out why these zombies kept them here. Could it be to keep them in reserve? But even if they did, how could they leave them starving? Aren't they afraid of starving them to death?

"Don't give me the chance to go out, otherwise I will definitely bring people to kill these zombies." The man who was captured yesterday gritted his teeth and roared in a rough voice.

When they were brought back, they all saw that this base was called the Starry Base.

What was strange was that there weren't just zombies here, there were also many humans. Even from the brief moment they came in, it was clear that humans and zombies were getting along quite harmoniously.

Humans are not afraid of zombies, nor do they kill them. Zombies do not chase or bite humans.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit weird and strange.

Several footsteps were heard and everyone looked over there.

During this period, whenever there was the sound of footsteps, it meant that someone was being arrested.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the entrance, some of them thinking with some gloating pleasure that another unlucky person had been caught.

Fan Xin and Sui Jing walked behind Tang Ruan and saw the people in the cell.

The zombies locked them up and left them alone, nor did they torture them. After a few days, the wounds on everyone's faces had healed, except for a few people who were locked up yesterday who still had wounds on their faces.

When everyone saw Tang Ruan coming in with two zombies, they all looked at each other.

What were they doing bringing two zombies in? Were they trying to pick someone out to feed the zombies? A terrifying atmosphere instantly filled the dungeon.

Some people retreated inconspicuously to reduce their presence.

Fan Xin took out a criminal code from the space and slowly flipped through it.

She read from the Criminal Code: "Article 263 of the Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who seizes public or private property by violence, coercion, or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined."*

Everyone in the dungeon looked at Fan Xin in confusion.

There was no time to be shocked by the fact that zombies could actually speak.

They were all shocked by what Fan Xin said.

What's going on? Criminal law? Isn't this the end of the world? What the hell is this criminal law that suddenly appeared?

Fan Xin closed the Criminal Code and glanced around: "You are charged with attempted robbery, so your punishment can be reduced."

She thought for a moment and said, "How about this: Starting today, all of you will be sentenced to one year in prison. Within that year, you must dig a five-meter-wide moat. In addition, each of you will be fined 5,000ml of blood."

The dungeon was dead silent.

I didn’t know how to react to what Fan Xin said.

Tang Ruan narrowed his eyes and introduced, "This is the head of our base. We locked you up in the dungeon just to wait for our head to decide your fate."

So, this zombie is the boss of this base?

Everyone was stunned.

After a long while, someone spoke with difficulty, "5000ml of blood per person? Is this a mistake? An adult weighing around 50kg only has about 3500ml of blood in their body, right?"

"Fuck you! Are you trying to kill us? Screw you! I'm going to fight you!"

"What criminal law provisions? I think they're deliberately teasing us! And they even built a moat? Pah! They're asking us to do hard labor for them before we die!"

"She's a zombie, of course she wants our lives!"

The crowd was very excited. They grabbed the railings and cursed. If there were no railings to stop them, they would probably rush over and fight Fan Xin to the death.

Fan Xin had a smile on her face, and her scarlet eyes slowly swept over everyone. The cold air condensed in the air, making everyone shiver.

In an instant, everyone's hands and feet were shackled with ice.

The level of these people's supernatural powers was not high, and Fan Xin's mental power attached to the shackles easily blocked their supernatural pills.

Those locked in shackles were horrified to discover that they could no longer feel the abundant energy in their bodies, nor could they use their supernatural powers.

Overnight, it seemed as if all the supernatural powers he had previously possessed had become a dream.

"How is that possible? My superpowers!"

"I-I can't feel my powers anymore! My powers are gone!"

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Fan Xin smiled and said, "For one year, you will not be able to use your superpowers until your sentence is over, so you will need to dig the moat with your bare hands. Of course, you can't use your superpowers, but you can use tools. I hope that during this year you can repent and become good people again. Good luck."

"Tang Ruan, I'll leave them to you."

Tang Ruan looked at Fan Xin with sparkling eyes. She hadn't expected Fan Xin to be so powerful that he could even block other people's abilities. "Understood, boss, don't worry. I will definitely arrange for them to undergo labor reform!"

After Fan Xin and Sui Jing left the dungeon, she threw the Criminal Code she had collected in the space to Sui Jing and said, "Please remember what's in here. I won't take care of other things, but in this base, you must abide by the laws and regulations before the apocalypse. From now on, matters like this will be left to you."

Sui Jing took the criminal code, flipped through a few pages, and then laughed, "Only enforced within the base? But those guys just now were robbing outside the base."

Fan Xin looked at him: "Are they not at the base now?"

Sui Jing raised the corner of his mouth: "I understand."

Pan Yuan drove back to the base, and Bai Wenrou was drowsy sitting in the passenger seat.

The car entered the base without any hindrance and parked in the parking lot planned by the base.

Bai Wenrou rubbed her eyes and said to the group of people crowded behind the van, "We're here, get off."

The people who got off the car looked around in surprise or suspicion, with expressions of anxiety, confusion, and excitement.

"Is this the base? Will we be safe here from now on?" Someone suppressed his excitement, his eyes shining.

"This base is really well built. It's so beautiful."

As they were talking, someone suddenly screamed, "There are zombies!"

"Zombies?"

“Where are the zombies?”

"Over there! Run!"

Bai Wenrou's hair swelled up, pulling back all the panicked people who had scattered. This wasn't the first time. She skillfully explained to them, "The zombies in the base don't bite. Look, they didn't bite anyone when they passed by."

Tang Ruan came over with a smile, and seeing that she had brought back twelve people this time, he patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, leave them to me. By the way, the boss is back, and Tang Su has already taken Wei Nan to see her. You should also take Pan Yuan over quickly."

Last time, Fan Xin left in a hurry and didn’t have time to see Wei Nan and Pan Yuan.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Bai Wenrou handed the person to Tang Ruan and took Pan Yuan towards the castle.

In the reception room on the third floor of the castle.

When Fan Xin saw Wei Nan, she was a little surprised. This was another acquaintance from her previous life.

Fan Xin had met Wei Nan in his previous life at the Dawn Base which was later established in S City. He was the leader of a base and was said to have very powerful supernatural powers.

He can copy other people's abilities and use them unlimitedly, so when fighting with others, it is often difficult to guard against them because you can't know what abilities he will use.

I heard that Wei Nan was cold-blooded and ruthless, and if you violated his taboos in the slightest, he would torture you to death.

Everyone knows that Wei Nan is a mysophobe and hates being touched the most.

Fan Xin's eyes fell on Wei Nan's hand which was tightly grasped by Baoer, and then she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and smile. Well, he hates others touching him the most?

In her previous life, she had only heard about Wei Nan from hearsay. She had met this man but had never seen him take action.

Wei Nan had grown up by then, and his facial features had become very distinct, completely different from the child he is now.

It was only when Fan Xin heard Tang Su introduce Wei Nan's name that she associated the Wei Nan at this time with the Wei Nan in the future.

"Wei Nan, huh?" Fan Xin smiled and said, "Your ability is quite special. I think it will be even more powerful after you advance."

Wei Nan's expression was stiff: "Thank you."

Fan Xin stared at Wei Nan for a while and then said, "I can teach you the meditation method, but before that, I need you to do a few things for me. What do you think?"

Wei Nan looked up at him. He was neither angry nor furious. Instead, he felt that Fan Xin's method of fair trade was normal.

In this apocalypse, it would be foolish to tell others how to use the crystal core directly, like Baoer did.

Wei Nan glanced at Baoer and nodded to Fan Xin: "I'm fine."

Boom boom boom——

There was a knock on the door, and Sui Jing walked over and opened it.

Bai Wenrou was startled when she saw that it was Sui Jing who opened the door. She said a little awkwardly, "Hello, hello. I brought someone over to meet the boss."

Sui Jing looked at Pan Yuan. He still remembered this person. He was the one he met in the gym before.

"Come in." Sui Jing smiled and spoke in a gentle voice. He took a step back to make way.

Bai Wenrou walked past Sui Jing with trepidation.

Pan Yuan glanced at Sui Jing, nodded to him, and followed Bai Wenrou in.

Fan Xin looked over and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. Please sit down."

Bai Wenrou waved her hands repeatedly: "It's not hard, it's not hard, boss, you've worked hard. By the way, this is Pan Yuan, boss, do you remember him? He was with us when you rescued us before."

Fan Xin nodded: "Yes, I remember."

Pan Yuan stared at Fan Xin in amazement. Her long hair softened her features, making them seem more feminine. But her features hadn't changed much. At least in Pan Yuan's opinion, she could still recognize that this was indeed the man who had saved her that time.

But Fan Xin's scarlet eyes stunned Pan Yuan, and he couldn't react for a long time.

After a while, she spoke in astonishment: "You, are a zombie?"

Fan Xin smiled: "Yeah."

Bai Wenrou was afraid that Pan Yuan would do something irrational, so she whispered, "Pan Yuan, there are good and bad people, and zombies too. Don't forget, she saved us before."

Pan Yuan fell silent.

After she arrived at the Starry Base, what puzzled her most was why this place accommodated both zombies and humans.

Although the zombies here are very gentle and will not chase or bite humans, and appear to be very rational, zombies are still zombies, aliens. Such dangerous aliens living together with humans is as terrifying as a bomb that can explode at any time.

But now, she understood.

Because Fan Xin is a zombie.

"I want to ask a question." Pan Yuan stared at Fan Xin. She took a deep breath and asked, "Do you think zombies and humans can really coexist harmoniously?"

Fan Xin lazily leaned on the sofa and asked, "How do you know if you don't try?"
