"What's going on?" Guan Nianshan's throat was dry.
"Guess why I asked you to give them so many low-level healing potions?" Shi Yin's lips curled into a strange smile: "They'll be using them soon."
"But what does this have to do with my dirty hands?" Guan Nianshan had a bad feeling. He took out his tablet, which showed the names of the people who had fled.
The tracking beacons on these people were all green, and many of them showed signs of injury. These plants grew so suddenly that their branches and leaves were many times tougher, and some people accidentally got their bodies pierced by the plants beneath them.
Some people even used several stimulants in an attempt to avoid the plants.
[No need to tell them about the side effects and precautions, just give them to them.]
Guan Nianshan remembered Shi Yin's instructions.
To Guan Nianshan's astonishment, all the green dots on the screen turned red and began flashing wildly, meaning that these people had all become zombies.
What... is going on?
Guan Nianshan felt a chill run through his body.
What about those superhumans who bought potions from him?
No wonder, no wonder! No wonder one of the rules is that these people need to be injected with a transparent drug every now and then. Is it to alleviate... or delay the time it takes for the zombies to turn into zombies?
So that's how it is. Shi Yin never intended to let those exiled people go!
"No wonder you always emphasize that you're the villain, Shi Yin, you really are... utterly wicked." Guan Nianshan's expression was somewhat strange: "Just how many people have you fooled?"
"You can hate me," Shi Yin said frankly.
"Ha... I can't hate you. At most, I hate that you're a blockhead." Guan Nianshan sighed. "I'm begging you, it's fine if you scheme against me, but don't scheme against my sister."
"Judging from your performance, your value is your sister's lifeline." Shi Yin stretched her wrists and stepped forward: "Lord Commander, that's enough to appease her. If you keep arguing, you'll delay the best time for rescue."
"You have a way?" The commander was surprised; he had thought Shi Yin would simply give up on these people.
"Of course, Nan Zhu and Ye Shaoheng are inside." Looking at Shi Yin's innocent eyes, the commander immediately understood that this was Shi Yin's doing again, and he almost choked.
Is Shion testing his nerves?
He was already thinking about how to handle the public relations when Shi Yin jumped in and said she had a solution.
Sure enough, upon hearing Shi Yin's words, the weary travelers' eyes lit up, and some even knelt down with a thud, pleading all around.
"Shh, it's too noisy." Shi Yin held up a finger, and perhaps because her voice was too cold, no one dared to speak anymore.
"Sister Yin, we're over here..." Lin Beiyue rushed over, but quickly stopped talking when she sensed something was wrong.
"Send them back." The commander-in-chief gave the order, and the people around him immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to persuade the people on the ground to go home.
The soldiers were somewhat helpless. Plants had suddenly sprouted outside, and they didn't know which roads were still usable. The snow was still thick and hadn't melted. These people had come easily, but they didn't know how much effort it would take to send them back.
Although Shi Yin always emphasized that they should do their best and prioritize their own safety, as soldiers, it was absolutely impossible for them to abandon the people and run away.
As the crowd gradually left, one person remained. Shi Yin looked closely and recognized him as the same person who had asked to find Nan Zhu earlier.
It looks familiar...it seems like...
"Eh!? Professor Kiyokawa!" Lin Beiyue suddenly jumped up excitedly.
Ah, it's that famous host from before the apocalypse. Shi Yin remembered. It had been so long since she had seen him that she barely remembered him.
Before the apocalypse, this person was different from those celebrities. This person did not have top-tier fame or fans in the entertainment industry, but had the greatest potential influence. He was a typical academic genius and actually knew Nan Zhu.
Shi Yin rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought. Could it be that Nan Zhu's appearance had changed too much? Shi Yin had never met this person before, and she thought that Bei Qingchuan should already be dead.
I've never seen zombies or humans before, but now I've suddenly seen them, and they're right in front of me.
"Huh? Hello, hello, who are you?" Bei Qingchuan was surprised, not expecting anyone to recognize him. He wasn't wearing makeup today, and he was also wearing a mask and non-prescription glasses...
When Lin Beiyue shouted, everyone around reacted. Their eyes lit up, and suddenly someone took out a small notebook to ask for an autograph.
Shi Yin: "...Isn't it said that there are many people with depression these days?"
How come they even know to sign autographs when they meet celebrities?
“Sister Yin, you don’t understand. This is a form of emotional comfort, just like playing games.” Guan Nianshan was very proud of discovering Shi Yin’s blind spot in knowledge: “Celebrities have a lot of influence, although Teacher Qingchuan can’t be considered a celebrity.”
"I don't follow celebrities." This is indeed a blind spot for Shi Yin.
"Teacher Qingchuan isn't a celebrity. He's a well-known good-tempered and virtuous person, an entertainment icon, and a hidden idol for the public. To put it simply, the people he likes aren't necessarily good people, and the people he dislikes are definitely not good people." Guan Nianshan even started to talk at length about this.
Shi Yin: "...You don't need to explain it to me, I know him."
"What! Sister Yin, you know about this too?" Guan Nianshan exclaimed in surprise.
“…Bei Qingchuan is quite popular.” Shi Yin was speechless: “I never lost internet access before the apocalypse. I was just thinking that if celebrities are this useful, it might be a way to appease the public.”
"Oh, you mean to revive the TV program?" Guan Nianshan immediately understood Shi Yin's idea: "Great idea! Everyone is just consuming old videos now. Releasing a new one will definitely relieve a lot of people's mental state."
"Shiyin, tell me the truth, is it true that a bad mental state can easily turn you into a zombie?" Guan Nianshan lowered his voice.
"One factor is that some people's zombie virus is latent." Shi Yin agreed with Guan Nianshan's words: "When a person's spirit becomes fragile, it is easy for them to lose control of the zombie virus."
"Even zombies have crystal cores?" Guan Nianshan pondered, resting his chin on his hand. If production were centralized...
“That’s true, but the human population needs to reach a certain standard to be called a society, otherwise it can only be a tribe.” Shi Yin rejected Guan Nianshan’s idea: “We need to ensure that the human population is sufficient to survive, otherwise even if the apocalypse is over, humanity will be almost gone.”
To ensure human survival, to ensure the existence of an official body, to ensure the elimination of monsters, to ensure survival from natural disasters, to ensure social order, to ensure that the betrayal of human nature has no impact, to ensure control over power, to ensure the status and survival rate of those with supernatural abilities, to ensure…
Shi Yin pressed her temples, trying not to think about these things.
"Sister Yin, Sister Yin, we've completed our mission!" Lin Beiyue walked over, and after getting an autograph and a photo together, she looked radiant.
Shi Yin: "..."
Is the celebrity effect really that effective?
"...I'm going to find those missing people. You need to scout out some locations to meet them, otherwise they might be dead as soon as they come out." Now is not the time to think about those things, Shi Yin simply issued the task: "I'll mark a few points for you. Do not evacuate without my order."
"yes!"
