Chapter 22
The parents' sudden appearance took the program crew by surprise, and they immediately contacted Shi Buxi to confirm whether they could really bring the unconscious person back to consciousness.
"I can only try it first." Shi Buxi was also surprised to receive the communication from the program team. This was the first time they contacted him since entering Blue Star.
"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to collect the birth date and eight characters you mentioned. So, what are birth date and eight characters?" the producer asked. He had recently been researching the concept of talisman drawing, but because Taoism and Taoist priests were so ancient, information on them was very scarce, both on the Star Network and in online libraries. He only knew that it was a special profession in ancient times, what people now call metaphysics.
"It's the date of birth and the specific time of a person's birth." Shi Buxi said.
"Okay, don't worry about the barrage, we will handle it." After the producer said this, he hung up the phone.
Shi Buxi didn’t know how the program crew would handle this, but soon, the people who suddenly appeared in the barrage to denounce him disappeared.
[Little Taoist priest, what are you going to do? ]
【Children, can you really save them? 】
The audience also heard his conversation with the producer.
"Let's try it!" Shi Buxi said, and her stomach growled. She looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock in the morning, so it was time to eat bread.
He now had six loaves of bread left, which he had saved by living frugally. Now that he knew he could form an alliance, he couldn't control himself and ate them all.
audience:【……】
Feng Shen and Zong Ziyu found Shi Buxi three hours later. When they saw him, they almost screamed out loud. Not only was his face red and swollen, but it was also covered in green.
"What are you applying?" Feng Shen asked with a smile.
"Eight Treasures Grass, for treating mosquito bites." Shi Buyi said. In the process of searching for this Eight Treasures Grass, he had already gotten a lot of bites on his hands.
"Looks like the first thing we need to do when we get to the next city is find some medicine," Feng Shen said with a helpless smile. Although Jian Xiaonan was a healer, he could only heal mental valve damage, not this kind of physical damage.
"Alliance?" Feng Shen asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Knot." Shi Buyi responded in a crisp voice.
Feng Shen was a little surprised that he responded so readily, and he felt a little mixed. He smiled and said, "You are so stupid and don't bear any grudges at all. What will you do if you are kidnapped?"
"Why are you scolding me?" Shi Buxi asked angrily.
"No, I'm praising you." Feng Shen glanced at the little ball on his head, resisting the urge to pinch it. His eyes fell on the two pheasants, his throat moving slightly, and he asked, "Did you catch them?"
"No, it's the new driver's ransom." Shi Buyi said regretfully. If the new driver hadn't run away, his face wouldn't be covered with lumps.
"The zombie was caught for you?" Feng Shen was speechless. Before, he only heard the audience say that Shi Buyi's new driver ran away, but he didn't say that two pheasants were caught for him. Was this zombie really his pet?
"Yeah!" Shi Buyi nodded happily, not caring at all that he had just called her stupid, and said, "We'll gather together later and eat chicken."
"Then we are in for a treat. Let's get in the car and go back before dark." Feng Shen said.
"Let me carry it!" Zong Ziyu was a little surprised to see the backpack on the ground. He didn't expect Xiaoxi could weave this.
Shi Buxi did not refuse, but asked Zong Ziyu to put his things in the car, cover the backpack with grass, put the chicken in it, and then set off.
The three of them had a smooth journey. When they arrived, Lu Feng and the others were packing things from several cars. When they saw them coming back, they waved and greeted them.
"We're going to leave in four cars. Is that enough?" Lu Feng asked. There were six of them now. With the seats down, each car could sleep two people. Originally, three cars would have been enough. But since Jian Xiaonan was a girl, they had to be more discreet, so they took an extra car.
"No problem." Feng Shen got out of the car and said, "Assign your partners, divide the things, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Everyone agreed when they heard this, but the question was how to divide it?
If we were to talk about combat prowess here, Shushi Buxi and Lu Feng would be the strongest, Tian Lou and Jian Xiaonan the weakest, and Zong Ziyu could barely defend himself. Feng Shen was stronger than Zong Ziyu, but weaker than Lu Feng.
In the end, it was decided that Lu Feng and Zong Ziyu would each drive one car, Feng Shen and Tian Lou would go together, and Jian Xiaonan and Shi Buyi would go together, for a total of four cars. Food and water were also divided equally again. Seeing that Shi Buyi had a big appetite, everyone gave him extra.
Shi Buxi was not polite and took out two chickens and invited everyone to eat them.
It hasn't rained yet today, and the dry firewood in the forest has dried up a lot after being exposed to the sun all day. Everyone couldn't help but salivate when they saw the pheasants. God knows how much they wanted meat after eating bread for a few days.
Everyone has limited drinking water, but no shortage of water. The main reason is that it rains heavily every night. The remaining bottles have been used to store water. I originally planned to use them for washing, but now they come in handy.
Dig a stove, boil water, kill the chicken and bleed it, all cleanly and neatly.
However, after the chicken was chopped into pieces and put into the pot, everyone remembered that there was no salt.
Everyone was in such a hurry in the last city that they just checked out a supply point before setting off, without even thinking about these things.
"We have to find medicines, salt, oil and other things in the next city before we set off." Zong Ziyu said.
Everyone agreed.
Although the stewed chicken lacked salt and oil, the taste of the fresh chicken was not bad. When the aroma came out of the pot, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva and wanted to pick up their bowls...
"Xiao Xi, how many bowls do you have?" Tian Lou suddenly discovered this problem.
"Two," Shi Buxi replied. He wasn't sure if he had a driver, so he was prepared to walk. So, the luggage he could carry was limited. However, "There's bamboo nearby, so we can use it to pack it."
When they heard this, they thought it was a good idea and immediately got up to cut bamboo.
Jian Xiaonan also stood up, but was pulled back by Shi Buyi. "I have two bowls."
Jian Xiaonan smiled when he heard that, then sat back down beside him, looking at the fire crackling under the pot. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Can you turn off the camera?"
Shi Buxi nodded, grabbed the camera and turned off the sound.
【Is there anything that I, as a VVVIP, cannot listen to? 】
【Ahhh, I need to find someone who can speak English.】
Then, Shi Buxi locked him in the car.
audience:……
"Pfft," Jian Xiaonan laughed, a little bitterly. When Shi Buyi returned to sit by the fire, he said, "My brother was a soldier. He disappeared while escorting a scientific research team to Blue Star three years ago. They all say he was eaten by zombies, but I don't believe it."
Shi Buxi was a little surprised and asked, "You came here to find him?"
Jian Xiaonan nodded and said, "But I didn't expect that I might not even be able to leave District 3."
"Where did he disappear?" Shi Buyi asked again.
"Area 1."
"So when you said you wanted to act alone, did you plan to go find your brother after reaching District 1?"
"Yeah!" Jian Xiaonan nodded, looking at the blue-gray sky. It was about to rain again. "Blue Star has always been a restricted area. I heard that this program could be on Blue Star, so I signed up."
"When we get to Area 1, I'll accompany you to find it!" Shi Buyi said.
"Aren't you here for the bonus?" Jian Xiaonan asked in surprise.
"Yes, but I have other things to do," Shi Buyi said with a smile. He came to participate in the show not only for the prize money, but also to learn about the zombies of Blue Star. He didn't expect to see vampires before seeing the zombies.
Jian Xiaonan smiled when he heard this. Thinking of Zong Ziyu, he seemed to have come to Blue Star for personal reasons. Lu Feng couldn't tell yet. On the surface, he came to participate in the competition, but who knows!
A few people who went to cut bamboo came back soon. The bamboo was the size of a palm and could also be used as bowls.
The chicken was almost done by then, and since it was about to rain, everyone didn't wait any longer and started cooking.
Although the pheasant soup has no salt or oil, the delicious aroma is enough to make people who haven't eaten meat for a few days salivate.
As the person who provided the chicken, Shi Buxi got a thigh and a chicken wing, and the others each got a small bowl.
The chicken was tender and the chicken soup was golden and fragrant, making even the audience drool.
[Pfft, I thought they would just eat the bread until the end.]
【Hahaha, thanks to Yaya Zombie for redeeming the chicken.】
"Ahhh, little Taoist priest, we're still trapped in the car! Let us out quickly."
Shi Buxi was drinking some fresh chicken soup when he heard the audience's voices. He slapped his forehead and realized that this was true.
【It seems you have forgotten us.】
The two chickens were still too small and could only satisfy their appetite, so everyone decided to add hunting to the itinerary.
After eating and drinking, it started to rain heavily. Everyone quickly packed up their things and washed the pots and pans with the rain water. Then they went back to their cars.
Three people were eliminated last night, and apart from the four cars they were leaving tomorrow, there were still two empty cars left. Shi Buyi gave the car that was leaving tomorrow to Jian Xiaonan, and went to sleep in one of the cars. Feng Shen occupied the other car, and parked it next to Shi Buyi's car.
Feng Shen couldn't sleep in the car. He opened the window and saw Shi Buyi wiping his face with water using a towel. He asked, "Little boy, you can really communicate with vampires and zombies! Do they still have human consciousness?"
"Not really. I used a talisman to awaken the vampire's memories of his previous life, but those are just memories. He is already a dead thing, relying on a breath of Yin energy to move around. As for zombies, I don't know." Shi Buyi had only come into contact with one zombie so far. That zombie was too normal, and he could feel that he had a soul.
Feng Shen leaned against the car window, lost in thought, as he watched him wipe his face. Because the plant pigment had been on his face for so long, it still looked a bit blue no matter how hard he wiped it, giving him a somewhat vampire-like appearance. After a moment's thought, he slowly raised the car window; he didn't want to sleep poorly tonight.
After Shi Buxi wiped his face, he touched it and felt that the swelling had reduced a lot and it was not as itchy anymore. The same was true for his hands, so he decided not to apply the Babaocao anymore, thinking that it would be gone by tomorrow.
After arranging the pillows and pulling up the quilt, Shi Buxi looked towards the live broadcast room.
【I'll shut my mouth and you sleep. 】
We don't talk much, really.
Shi Buxi thought for a moment, then turned off the sound, leaving only the camera on. After lying down, he scratched the bump on his hand, yawned, closed his eyes, and fell asleep instantly.
【Turn off the sound again.】
【The zombies are coming without calling you. 】
[Actually, this face looks quite scary.]
The audience looked at Shi Buxi's dirty little face and nodded seriously.
In the middle of the night, the rain was getting heavier. Many people left the live broadcast room. It was daytime on the planet. Many people were watching the daytime program replays and chatting. Suddenly -
“Crack!”
[There was a sound, did I hear it wrong? ]
[No, there really is a sound. Ahhhh, the vampire is coming.]
[Little Taoist priest, there are vampires outside the car, no, zombies.]
The audience stared with wide eyes as the car door was opened, and the zombie in white who had redeemed himself with two chickens during the day came back.
Zong Zhengqing glanced at the live broadcast indifferently, got into the car, took off his raincoat and handed it to the person outside, turned on the dim yellow headlights, looked closely at the lump on Shi Buyi's face, reached out and touched it, felt the skin stiffened under his fingertips due to the lump, and frowned slightly.
Although Guard Jian could not see His Highness's face, he could sense his low mood and quickly handed him the medicine.
Zong Zhengqing took the medicine, opened it, squeezed some on his fingertips, and gently applied it to him.
After watching this scene, the audience felt that they could no longer understand this world. Zombies actually applied medicine to the little Taoist priest in the middle of the night. This world was too magical.
