Chapter 11
Although the man in black ran away carrying two zombies, he did not go far and kept hiding in the dark. Seeing his prince being blown away by a stack of talismans from that kid, he widened his eyes in disbelief. Then he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. The boy with strange clothes and strange fighting power jumped up, sat on the prince's waist, and then stripped off his clothes.
Man in Black: ...
Audience: ...
"I despise you for not taking off my master's clothes." The man in black rushed out from the darkness and smashed a zombie in his hand.
Shi Buyi tore open the masked man's coat with both hands and was about to take it off when he felt something attacking him from behind. He jumped up instinctively and was about to fight back when he saw that it was the driver he had been thinking about. He caught him immediately, and when he looked again, the masked man and the man in black were gone.
[Such a fast speed, ahhh, mental power is the main attack speed of the combat type! Too fast.]
[Haha, congratulations, Xiao Xixi, you finally got a driver.]
[Oh my god, oh my god, I saw a trending search on Starnet about someone using zombies as drivers. Where the hell is that?]
[Ahhh, that boy, he really is carrying a zombie.]
[Is that the legendary symbol on the zombie's forehead? ]
[Ahhh, that yellow talisman actually immobilized the zombies and exploded in the rain. How cool!]
【Why? Can someone tell me why? 】
[I know this is an ancient magic spell. Some researchers believe it is the earliest form of human spiritual power.]
[I just want to know where the production team found this young man.]
"Supervisor, the number of online viewers has exceeded 20 billion." The A031 director stared in astonishment as Shi Buyi's sub-livestream grew from a few hundred viewers at first, to a few thousand, and now to over 10 billion. In just ten minutes, the traffic jumped from last to first, surpassing Zong Ziyu and Jian Xiaonan. It seemed like they had invited someone extraordinary to participate in the show. It would be a hit, it would definitely be a hit.
"Notify the Blue Star staff to increase Shi Buxi's time in the main live broadcast room to 20 percent." The producer came back to his senses and took a deep breath. His intuition told him that this young man Shi Buxi would definitely have more surprises in the future.
Everyone in the director's office was surprised to hear this. Currently, the combined online audience for the show's main and sub-streaming rooms generally remained around 12 billion. Aside from Zong Ziyu and Jian Xiaonan's fans, 60% of the audience watched from the main stream. Because of Zong Ziyu and Jian Xiaonan's popularity, their screen time was 40% and 30% respectively, with the remaining 30% split between about ten people. Now that Shi Buxi's screen time had been increased, and Zong Ziyu and Jian Xiaonan's screen time hadn't been reduced, the remaining 30% was only 10% for the others.
【Hahaha, Xiao Xixi, what are you doing? 】
The audience laughed when they saw Shi Buxi lifting the zombie's hand and kicking its foot.
"I'm checking the condition of his limbs. Although they are a little stiff, they are still flexible and he can drive." Shi Buyi nodded affirmatively.
[Pfft, you're worried about that?]
"Well, if that doesn't work, you can feed him some cartilage talisman water." After Shi Buyi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand into the rain and washed his hands.
【……】
[Ahhh, this sentence sounds so scary.]
[I don't know why, but I feel a little sorry for this zombie.]
[Wow, Xiao Xixi, how can you say this with such an innocent face? ]
[I only have one feeling: don't mess with Shi Xiao.]
Shi Buxi smiled at the live broadcast.
[Ahhh, don't smile at me, it's so scary, tears.]
Shi Buxi was helpless. He washed his hands in the rain twice, then turned and walked down the corridor.
【Ah, your driver is no longer wanted. 】
"Yes." Shi Buxi responded and walked into the corridor. The rain finally stopped hitting his head. He reached into his sleeve and took out a talisman. With his other hand, he put his index and middle fingers together and drew a few strokes on it in the air, and then stuck it on the wall.
Before the audience could figure out what he was doing, the zombie standing in the rain suddenly took off, flew into the corridor, and stood against the wall.
Staff/audience: ...
[Woo woo, I don't find it strange that Xiaoxi used a talisman to stop the rain.]
[I still don't believe it. This ability is too terrifying.]
[Please tell me, what kind of spiritual power do you have? Is it the new summoning system?]
[Whisper, why did you take off the zombie's clothes just now? Are you casting some kind of spell again?]
"I just want a coat." Shi Buyi said angrily. He had already given him a zombie, so what was wrong with giving him a coat.
【……】
[Haha, is it because there are no thick clothes in the program's supplies?]
[It's okay, don't we have one ready?]
"No." Shi Buyi shook his head.
"Why? You're still discriminating? Which masked zombie is more handsome?"
"No, the masked man doesn't smell rotten. This one does." Shi Buyi looked at the zombie pressed against the wall with disdain, his nose sore, "Ah! I'm going to change clothes."
After Shi Buxi finished speaking, he quickly got into the tent.
[Uh, aren't they all zombies? Why does Xiaoxi smell that one is stinky and the other isn't? Is it because this one doesn't take a bath?]
【I want to smell it too! 】
[Ah, isn't Tian Lou here? Ask him. Does it stink?]
The audience reacted and hurried to look at Tian Lou, and found that he had squatted at the door of Shi Bushi's tent at some point.
Poor thing, his tent is ruined. Is he going to sleep in the same hallway with zombies tonight?
Tian Lou: I heard it.
[Tian Lou, does it stink? ]
Tian Lou shook his head and moved closer to the tent.
Shi Buxi changed his clothes in the tent, which took him more than ten minutes. The audience suspected that he had fallen asleep before seeing the door curtain move. After changing his clothes, Shi Buxi was still wearing the same long green robe and his hair was neatly tied up.
【You won’t dry your hair in there before coming out! 】
[What a mistake! I wanted to see a child with long hair, which would surely look amazing.]
[Hehe, contestant Shi Xiao looks so young even though he's dressed so old-fashioned. Letting his hair down, oh my, he's drooling.]
Shi Buxi:……
Shi Buxi ignored the audience's imagination, walked to the corridor with the clothes in his arms, rolled up the long sleeves of his Taoist robe, put the clothes in the rain, and washed them.
[Program crew, look at this, don’t you feel guilty? ]
【Haha, it looks pretty good.】
[The kid only has two sets of clothes! Program crew, please don't go too far. Clothes.]
The A031 director looked at the projection screen filled with barrages of comments and looked at the producer.
"Let's arrange the next round of supplies! Also, have someone talk to Tian Lou and ask him what happened when the zombies attacked him earlier?" the producer said. This was their first time surviving on a zombie-infested Blue Planet, and they needed to understand a lot of the situation in Area 3. If they weren't well-prepared for it once they entered Areas 2 and 1, they'd be in trouble.
A031 responded and immediately contacted Blue Star staff.
Shi Buxi quickly washed the clothes and looked around. He found that the skeleton of Tian Lou's tent was exposed, so he asked, "Can you still sleep in your tent?"
"Will you take me in?" Tian Lou's eyes lit up. He had been watching Shi Buxi's movements and was thinking of asking him if he could take him in for a night after he was done with his work.
"Sure, can you lend it to me to hang clothes there?" Shi Buyi asked.
Tian Lou nodded repeatedly, indicating that he could. Honestly, if there wasn't a zombie in the corridor, and if Shi Buxi refused to take him in, he could have stayed there for one night. But the problem was, Shi Buxi had brought back a zombie.
Seeing that he agreed, Shi Buyi naturally spread the clothes on the skeleton without hesitation, turned around, stretched, and was stunned.
It was clearly a rainy night, but in the distant sky, there was an extremely bright North Star.
Shi Buxi was a little confused, but before he could figure it out, he ignored it and turned to the live audience and said, "Good night then."
[That's it? Want to talk about something else worth three cents?]
"I won't even talk about three dollars." After saying that, Shi Buxi went into the tent, and did not forget to invite Tian Lou in as well.
When the audience saw that Shi Buxi had fallen asleep, they immediately turned and went to Star Network. It was going to be lively tonight.
The heavy rain was still pouring down. Shi Buxi fell asleep, but the staff couldn't sleep, especially when they saw the zombies standing in the corridor. They were scared.
"Your Highness! Are you injured?" The man in black asked cautiously upon entering and seeing His Highness standing by the window. He had followed His Highness for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen him retreat in a fight. What was so special about that young man that he let him ride on him without fighting back?
Could it be...
The man in black looked at the specially printed photo in his hand with a little surprise.
"It's okay." The man took back the photo and put it in his chest pocket. He asked, "Did you find out where their base camp is?"
"Not yet." The man in black said ashamedly. He was clearly the only one His Highness could use, yet he couldn't do anything right.
The next day, the rain stopped at daybreak. After a while, the contestants got up and prepared to set off early, trying to reach the armory in the provincial government to get their weapons.
Jian Xiaonan stretched lazily beside the car, turned his head to look at Shi Buyi's tent, wanting to see if he had woken up, but——
"Ah! Zombies!"
The loud shouting tore through the morning tranquility.
