Ishtar leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Shi Yin ride the wind away, her expression somewhat complicated.
Her ability is to summon dragons from other dimensions to fight, and she also knows that Shion can actively regenerate and selectively "return" some people's abilities and memories.
The Five Knights were the first to be returned by Tokine, and Ishtar still remembers what Tokine said.
[I returned your powers to you so that you could use violence to suppress others when necessary and have absolute say. I also returned some of your memories; the consequences of indecisiveness are self-evident.]
Everything is for the survival of humanity.
When Ye Shaoheng was woken up by the ringing of the phone, he was still a little dazed.
I checked my phone and it was 2 a.m.!
My ancestors!
What were you doing going out in the middle of the night and coming back at 2 a.m.?
Helpless, Ye Shaoheng could only answer the phone while hurriedly putting on his clothes. Before he could even speak, Shi Yin began to give orders as if it were his own business, just like his boss of many years.
Ye Shaoheng was initially somewhat resentful about calling his subordinates out to work, but after hearing what Shi Yin said, he immediately perked up.
I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat, and all my sleepiness vanished.
After much trouble, Ye Shaoheng finally saw the zombie that was bound like a dumpling. Now, this thing, which was originally half-human and half-zombie, had completely lost its mind.
"Hiss, my sister Yin went out in the middle of the night to save the world again?" Ye Shaoheng shrugged jokingly, feeling a little lucky: "Anything else? Do you need help?"
I was terrified; I almost woke up to find my house gone.
"No." Shi Yin's voice remained flat: "Like the last person we arrested, they can't conduct research without my permission. Lock them up first."
"Don't worry, don't worry, we don't have the resources right now. I'm a policeman, not a researcher." Ye Shaoheng grinned, looking surprisingly cheerful. "These zombies seem more fragile than I expected?"
Judging from its appearance, this zombie is male, and likely an adult male.
Although the skin looked a bit strange, like rough, bluish-gray tree bark, it appeared to have shrunk, perhaps due to the zombie virus causing people to shrink. The muscles were sunken and stuck to the bones.
Judging from this, he could take on three people with one punch...
Oh no, five.
"These are the original zombies, only used to breach human fortresses from within." Shi Yin said calmly, looking at Ye Shaoheng's relaxed expression.
"Even if humans are infected and form a cluster, this lowest level of zombies cannot compare to those fully armed high-level zombies. They are unlikely to pose a threat and can be easily controlled by humans."
"...Wait, you mean this is still the same mastermind's conspiracy?" Ye Shaoheng was stunned, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets: "Someone wants to destroy humanity? Now they're not even anti-social anymore, they're starting to turn against the Earth?"
Shi Yin: "..."
If Ye Yuansong were here now, Ye Shaoheng would probably get a beating again.
Ouch!
May all your wishes come true.
Before Shi Yin could finish thinking, she saw Ye Shaoheng's knees buckle, and he squatted down, clutching his thigh.
"Ouch... Grandpa, be gentle! If you keep going like this, you'll break my leg before I even get to the battlefield!" Ye Shaoheng said, feeling wronged. "Isn't my surprise perfectly reasonable?"
"You've known about this for so long, and you're only just realizing it now? You're so slow!" Ye Yuansong glared at him, his beard bristling. "If you were in charge of leading humanity, we'd all be wiped out before you even realized it!"
Ye Shaoheng clutched his leg, squatted down beside him, looking aggrieved.
Smart people are amazing!
"Oh... But Grandpa, weren't you resting? Why are you here too?" Ye Shaoheng asked in confusion, "Did Sister Yin call you too?"
"Hmph, at your age, you're a light sleeper. You jumped out of bed with a thud, if I didn't hear you, I'd be deaf." Ye Yuansong sneered, "You already heard Shi Yin calling these zombies poisoners, and you didn't even realize it on the plane?"
Ye Shaoheng didn't dare to speak; how could he admit that he had been daydreaming at that time?
"In short, Miss Shi, thank you for your hard work." Ye Yuansong stood in front of Shi Yin, leaning on his cane, and bowed solemnly: "If you need any help, please let us know, and we will do our best to support you."
Shi Yin didn't speak. She leaned against a big tree with her arms crossed, lazily raising her eyes as if she was really thinking about the problem seriously.
"Help... is not necessary."
After a while, Ye Yuansong seemed to hear a low, almost imperceptible laugh.
"Just give me your absolute trust."
"Major General, allow me to offer a word of advice." Shi Yin tilted her head slightly: "Before choosing sides, you should get to know your teammate. She may not be a righteous person."
Ye Yuansong: "What?"
“I mean, I’m very likely… no, I should say, I’m probably a villain.” Shi Yin casually walked to Ye Yuansong’s side: “If you really want to follow me, you’d better cover your ears.”
Ye Yuansong: "?"
Ye Shaoheng: "Huh?"
The two looked at each other, clearly confused and not understanding what Shi Yin meant.
When I looked up again, Shi Yin had disappeared. I didn't see Shi Yin again until the next day.
Actually, neither Ye Shaoheng nor Ye Yuansong needed to attend this conference.
At least this time, Ye Shaoheng won't be able to get in; he's not qualified yet.
Originally, Ye Yuansong was considered to be of advanced age, so he was exempted from this participation and was even called to express his condolences. However, Ye Yuansong insisted on coming because he had an important report to give, which is why he was given a place.
Even though Shi Yin had emphasized that she didn't need help, Ye Yuansong was still determined to come, and Shi Yin didn't say anything more about it.
The conference proceeded quite smoothly, with people reporting one after another, presenting their prepared content, mostly consisting of flowery and empty embellishments.
In fact, compared to the subsequent apocalypse, this is a good thing.
After all, it is only in peacetime that people use romantic or euphemistic words to embellish and package these key points.
This is a unique kind of romance that exists only in times of peace.
In the aftermath of the apocalypse, every second counts.
When reporting to each other, they wish they could understand immediately with just a word or a glance and get back to work.
During the busiest and most stressful period, people with superpowers who can communicate with each other through telepathy or brainwaves within a certain group of people are indeed in high demand.
The conference was drawing to a close, and Ye Yuansong could only watch anxiously. He saw the leader walk onto the podium and slowly finish his speech, but Shi Yin was nowhere to be seen.
"So, is there anything else to add?" The Commander-in-Chief stood confidently on the podium, looking down at the audience with a calm pride. "If there's nothing to add, I declare this conference a complete success..."
"I have something to add."
