Chapter 1 Old Dad and New Grandma
In the bizarre space, a mechanical light ball floating in the air was flying back and forth around a little zombie.
At the same time, the entire space was filled with its chattering voice:
"Xingxing, the boss has sent me the content and location of the first mission from the Quick Travel Department. We are about to go to the new world to take over the child's new life. Are you ready?"
"Do you remember what the teacher taught in the previous class?"
It flew lower and landed on the little zombie's thin shoulder.
Hearing this, the little zombie who was listening to it carefully nodded obediently and replied childishly: "Yeah, I know!"
As for how to complete the task successfully, the teacher of the quick wear department has taught it many times during class.
Every time he takes a test, Xingxing always gets full marks and first place!
Reaching out and holding the ball of light on the shoulder in his small palm, the little zombie's beautiful silver-white eyes were particularly bright.
"The teacher said that when we go to the new world, we must first learn to be a good human cub. We cannot eat humans, nor can we treat humans as reserve food. We can choose to protect them when necessary."
"The teacher also said that I can't tell anyone that I'm a zombie, and that when I go to the new world, I will have a new name, grow taller, eat human food, and... have a real, beating heart."
Compared to the stumbling appearance when learning to speak in the apocalypse, the little zombie who has been in the System Headquarters for a while speaks much more fluently.
After it finished speaking, the light ball clapped its hands in a respectful manner: "That's right! Xingxing is the smartest kid. You remember everything the teacher said!"
"Then get ready, we are about to embark on a new journey--"
-
New journey, new world.
The stars looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in front of them, and their dark eyes clearly reflected the surrounding scenery.
Peaceful, tranquil, and dirty. There are no zombies or mutant creatures, only noisy humans coming and going and stray cats rummaging through garbage.
Qiuqiu squatted on top of Xingxing's head and used the light curtain as a mirror to show the children his current body.
"Xingxing, are you used to it?"
It and the little zombie stared at the pair of dark eyes in the light screen.
After the kid in gray shorts nodded blankly, Qiuqiu told him about the mission in the new world.
"Xingxing, the child who died was named Zhou Chenxing. He just turned three two days ago. His wish after his death was that you could help him grow up well and take good care of his old father and new grandmother."
Hearing the last two names, Xingxing tilted her head in confusion.
Qiuqiu also felt strange. It was its first time as an employee of the quick-travel department, so it quickly looked through the world content.
“Got it!”
Qiuqiu read the plot of this world to Xingxing: "Because we are in charge of the newly opened cub department of the abuse area, little Zhou Chenxing is actually a control group child in a novel called "The whole family doted on me more after they found out I was a fake young master". However, he didn't grow up to meet the other protagonist child. He died of illness at the age of 3."
"The old father and new grandmother in Zhou Chenxing's wish refer to his current father and future grandmother. One is his adoptive father, and the other is his biological grandmother."
"Let me see... The plot says that Zhou Chenxing was picked up by his old father on the roadside. His father worked very hard to support him, but after the child died, his father was very sad. He wanted to buy a better cemetery for the child, so he went to work on a construction site, and then he died in an accident."
"And this new grandmother, Zhou Chenxing has never actually seen her, because in the book, this grandmother appears from the protagonist's side. After she found out that the protagonist was not her own child, she has been looking for her real grandson. However, the father who could register Zhou Chenxing's household registration and buy a cemetery plot has died. The landlord thought that the death of a person was unlucky, so he cleared away the child's ashes and other things."
At this point, Qiuqiu's tone became a little depressed: "So grandma will never be able to find this child, so she can only ask a master to pray for him according to his birth date, hoping that the child can live happily in a place where I can't see him."
"Because of this, she could not accept the existence of the protagonist child and later died early. It was after seeing this plot that the soul of the child Zhou Chenxing temporarily added the new grandmother to his wish."
After saying that, the light ball rubbed the pale fingertips of the star sadly, and said sullenly: "No wonder it is called the section of sadistic novels and quick-travel novels. It is clear that the main perspective is a happy novel, but the perspective of the supporting characters does not seem to be worth being happy about at all."
Therefore, the so-called sadistic writing is actually a story from the perspective of the obsessive.
The star held it with its slender fingers and shook it, as if coaxing a child younger than itself. The star lowered its head and whispered to it softly, "Don't be sad. The teacher said that if you fulfill the wishes of the children, they will have the energy to choose a new life."
The teacher's original words were: It was a fair transaction between the host and the original owner.
After the original owner dies, he will be captured by the General Administration because of his obsession. After that, the various divisions of the Quick Transmigration Department will assign staff to enter the mission world according to the original owner's wishes.
In this transaction, the original owner needs to pay for all the merits carried by his soul. When the original owner's soul is as light as nothing and becomes pure white like at the beginning without any carrier, the higher the degree of completion of the task performed by the host according to their wishes, the more care this soul will receive when it enters the reincarnation arranged by the General Administration.
Xingxing remembers every word the teacher said. Of course, it may also be because he is just a little zombie, so he doesn’t have too many emotional fluctuations.
As for Qiuqiu, it seems that he has become more tearful since more emotional blocks were loaded.
Thinking of this, the little boy with a fair and clean face softened his brows helplessly like a little adult and sighed softly.
"Xingxing, are you waiting for your dad here again?" A human passing by on a bicycle suddenly stopped to talk to him.
Hearing the familiar name, Xingxing subconsciously looked up, but what she saw were facial features that had nothing to do with her memory.
The child was stunned for a moment, and the next second he nodded slightly at the other party.
It was this brief interaction that made the little zombie truly realize that this was no longer the original world.
Everyone you meet next will no longer be the same person.
There is no Uncle Hu, no Zhou Weiguo and Wangwang.
There is only the ball.
"I saw your dad over there." The man on the bicycle put one foot on the ground, half of his body leaned down, raised his hand and rubbed the child's head in a friendly manner, and said with a smile: "He is selling vegetables on the street next door. Do you want to continue waiting here, or should I take you to find him?"
Many fragments of memories flashed through his mind. After Xingxing clearly captured a few of them, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his little face and looked at the other person: "Thank you, uncle. I can go there by myself."
The kid was only three years old, and was barely taller than his knees. The man thought he was well-behaved, and smilingly, he picked him up without letting him struggle and put him on the horizontal bar in front of him. After instructing the child to hold on to the handlebars, he rode towards the food street next door, following the ding-ding-ding sound of the bell.
"Xingxing, it's not a good thing for your dad to get up so early and go to bed so late every day. You two, big and small, can't take care of yourself. Why don't you help your uncle persuade your dad to send you to an orphanage? The orphanage is near your home. If your dad misses you, he can visit you anytime--"
The man's voice stopped abruptly.
Because the child who had been sitting obediently in front of him just now let go of his hand and fell to the side before he could finish his words.
If it weren't for his quick eyes and hands, this kid would probably have fallen headfirst and died on the spot!
"You little brat, why are you so mad?! Do you know that you almost died just now? Is your life so worthless?"
The man was angry at first, but when he met the child's quiet, dark eyes, he realized that his words might not be so pleasant to the ear, and it was natural for the child to resist.
Thinking of this, he sighed, picked up the child and put him back down in an unpleasant manner.
"You and your father are indeed father and son. You are both equally untouchable. You will turn against each other if you say something wrong."
"But I'm doing this for your own good, right? Look at your father's situation. He can barely support himself, let alone you..."
The man snorted lightly, as if he was helpless, or as if he had nothing to say.
But after he said so much, the child sitting in front of him didn't say a word from beginning to end. If it weren't for the fatal incident just now, the man would have thought that the brat had turned a deaf ear to his words.
The two streets are not long and it only takes a few words to get there.
It was evening now, and this was also a famous food street nearby. In Xingxing's eyes, the pedestrians coming and going looked like a dense swarm of zombies with no end in sight.
In the past, it could order its own kind to disperse, but now it can only be carried by a man and move flexibly among the crowd.
"Xiao Zhou!" The man's loud voice rang out from a distance, reaching the ears of many people, "Your son misses you, so I brought him to you."
From the moment he opened his mouth, Xingxing's gaze was always on one person.
The man was wearing the same old clothes, with half of his sleeves tied in a knot and hanging in the air, which was why Xingxing suddenly decided to come to find him.
At this moment, he was sitting in front of the small vegetable stall, which was probably the sunniest and hottest place on the street. The setting sun was so bright that he had to squint his eyes. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he would raise his intact hand from time to time to wipe the sweat.
He was originally greeting passers-by, but when he heard the voice from this side, he turned in this direction.
He is a very young man.
Younger than Uncle Hu from Xingxing.
But he is already the father of a three-year-old child.
After turning his head and seeing the stars clearly, he stood up, left his stall, and strode towards this direction.
