Chapter 23
Zong Zhengqing left quickly after applying medicine to Shi Buxi, but Starnet became lively and related hot search terms quickly appeared.
#Zombie applies medicine to Shi Buxi#
#White Mask Zombie#
#HMS ointment zombie#
#The zombie's ransom money, two pheasants#
[Zombies are catching pheasants to redeem themselves and giving people medicine. Is this world magical?]
[Ahhh, I don't believe this, it must be someone pretending.]
[I just want to know how the zombies got this ointment.]
[I'd also like to know why this zombie is all white. Does he have obsessive-compulsive disorder?]
[It's over, it's over. These zombies already have their own thinking abilities. Are we going to have another species?]
[@Zombie Research Team, come out! You've been researching for hundreds of years. What have you been researching? Why have zombies changed so much, yet there's no news at all?]
@Zombie Research Team @Doomsday Survival Program Crew, please take a look at the video and respond. I'll give you two choices: One, the zombies have evolved. Two, they're just humans pretending to be zombies.
Professor Terrence was @ed by netizens and watched the video of the zombies applying medicine to Shi Buxi. He was so sad that he couldn't even cry. He also wanted to know why?
"You really don't know that zombie?" Professor Terrence couldn't help but send a private message to Shi Buxi early in the morning.
"I really don't know him." Shi Buxi was still confused after getting up. The participants in the program could only receive information through their terminals, not connect to the Star Network, so they knew nothing about what was going on online. As for the zombies applying medicine to him, he would have had no idea if he hadn't received a private message from Professor Terrence.
What's more, the zombies here are all from three thousand years ago, so it's even more impossible for him to recognize them.
After Shi Buxi replied to Professor Terrence's message, he turned off the terminal and turned around to see the ointment on the front of the car. He took off the rearview mirror and saw that the red spots on his face had all gone away and returned to normal, as did the red spots on his hands.
"He is a zombie who is repaying a favor." Shi Buxi concluded and nodded in agreement.
[God damn repaying a favor zombie, didn't you leave your car door open when you slept last night? ]
"It's closed!" Shi Buxi replied. He did close the door.
[No, I asked the wrong question. Is it unlocked?]
Shi Buxi recalled and shook his head, "No."
He wouldn't lock the car either.
[I'm impressed. You're still alive today, luck is a factor.]
Shi Buxi expressed his objection, saying that he clearly relied on his strength.
It was just dawn at this time, and everyone wanted to leave the city and the forest as soon as possible and enter the next city, so they had already woken up and packed their things.
Shi Buyi returned to Jian Xiaonan's car with a quilt and pillow. Along the way, several people kept looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Shi Buyi looked confused and innocent.
"Did the zombies apply medicine to you last night?" Feng Shen asked with a smile.
Shi Buxi nodded, shook the ointment on his hand, walked to the car and packed his things.
"Do you feel any difference with that zombie?" Zong Ziyu woke up early in the morning and was told by the audience in the live broadcast room about 'Two or Three Things Between Shi Buxi and the Zombies' last night, which stirred up waves in his heart.
That person also loves white things.
"He is a person with an extremely noble destiny. If he were in ancient times, he would definitely be..." Shi Buyi paused, then looked at Zong Ziyu and asked with difficulty, "Well, there is a royal family now, right?"
"Of course." Zong Ziyu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "Do you know something?"
Shi Buxi thought carefully about his encounter with the zombie. He was not calm and puzzled. He asked in a low voice: "When did the current dynasty begin?"
"Two thousand six hundred years ago," Zong Ziyu replied. Three thousand years ago, the zombie outbreak unleashed a surge of psychic power in humanity, leading to interstellar migration and the official entry into the interstellar age. Two hundred years later, humans discovered that with psychic power, their lifespan could reach nearly three hundred years.
Then, the largest-scale war broke out among humans. Everyone wanted to unify humanity and be the master of humanity. At this time, aliens discovered traces of humans and intended to occupy the entire human galaxy, so the war between humans and aliens began.
This war lasted for more than two hundred years. Later, the Zong Zheng royal family seized power in one fell swoop and drove the aliens out of the human galaxy. They joined the Interstellar Alliance and became one of its members.
"Are the zombies here all the remnants from three thousand years ago?" Shi Buyi asked again.
"Maybe." Zong Ziyu glanced at the live broadcast and didn't say what he really thought.
When Shi Buxi heard the two words he was not sure about, he wanted to overturn his previous thoughts. He couldn't help but think of the North Star that appeared in the rain on the night he first saw the white zombie, the Lord of Astrology, and the Lord of the Emperor.
Shi Buxi shuddered at the thought. There were three possibilities: one, the Supreme Being happened to be nearby that night. Two, the human regime was about to change. Three, his calculations were wrong.
"Have you thought of something? I remember that Taoist priests can tell fortunes, right?" Zong Ziyu asked anxiously. He knew very little about this profession and most of it was heard from the audience.
"No, don't think too much." Shi Buxi patted his shoulder and put the things in the car. Among so many practitioners, his fortune-telling was the worst.
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk, and since there was a camera, Zong Ziyu swallowed what he wanted to ask and planned to find time to ask him in detail.
The group quickly finished breakfast and set off. In order to reach the next city as quickly as possible, no one rested much at noon. However, the driver did not feel tired. One reason was that he had enough energy, and the other was that the scenery outside was very special. Trees and shrubs growing out of the ruins could be seen everywhere. Unfortunately, no small animals were seen.
【Suddenly a word comes to mind: vicissitudes of life. 】
[There are few small animals here. I wonder if they have all been sucked by vampires!]
[To catch small animals, you still have to rely on the Fang Zombie. 】
[Hehe, I wonder if the Fangya Zombie will come again tonight.]
[Hahaha, little Taoist priest, remember to leave the door open! Maybe he'll come again tonight.]
[If you don't know, you might think that the Yaya zombie is your husband who's away at work!]
"...Aren't you afraid that he will bite me?" Shi Buyi said helplessly. Who was it that saw the zombies before and screamed at him to run away?
I don’t know why, but I don’t think he will.
Shi Buxi did not comment, but he became curious about the Yaya zombie and wanted to know whether he was a real zombie or a fake one.
A group of people drove for nearly ten hours and were still running in the forest around three o'clock in the afternoon. It seemed that they would have to spend the night in the forest again.
"Hunting? Stop hunting now." Feng Shen stuck his head out and shouted.
"Sure." Lu Feng, who was driving behind him, responded. Yesterday's half bowl of chicken soup had completely whetted his appetite.
"Agree."
"I can be here too."
Zong Ziyu and Shi Buyi responded almost simultaneously. The latter's throat became choked from shouting too loudly. After a few coughs, he asked, "Director, we're allied now. Aren't we going to open the team channel?"
It's not a big deal to keep shouting like this.
"Our plan is to form a team before entering Area 1. You should form a team in advance and solve the problem yourselves." The producer's ruthless voice came from the camera.
Everyone: ...
Their terminals are restricted, and they cannot contact the outside world except the program team. Even if they add the team members as friends, they cannot communicate. How can they solve this problem?
"Besides the sea, there are only forests on Blue Star." Zong Ziyu got out of the car, looked at the trees around him and stretched.
"Leave two people to watch the car, and the rest of you go and see if there are any pheasants, ducks, or rabbits. Of course, it would be better if we could bring back a wild boar." Feng Shen suggested.
Everyone said the latter item was too difficult.
The personnel were quickly divided. Jian Xiaonan and Lu Feng stayed behind to watch things, while the others went hunting. In order to improve efficiency, they were divided into two groups.
Zong Ziyu had something he wanted to ask Shi Buxi, so he volunteered to be in a group with Shi Buxi.
"By the way, I have some talismans. Do you want them?" Shi Buyi was about to leave when he inexplicably asked.
"Okay, I've been coveting Jian Xiaonan and Zong Ziyu's talismans for a long time," Feng Shen replied. As for Shi Buxi's abilities, he couldn't believe them, as centuries of education had left him unable to convince himself otherwise. He couldn't believe them, but they were actually happening, so he was torn.
"Thank you!" Lu Feng raised his eyebrows and spoke very briefly.
"Well, if you are willing to believe me, you can give me a few strands of hair." Shi Buxi took out a few lucky bags from his bag and walked towards the crowd, giving one to each person.
"What's the use of hair?" asked Zong Ziyu.
"I can confirm your safety." Shi Buyi said.
A few people looked at each other and smiled. Since they had already accepted the lucky bags, they didn't care about these few strands of hair anymore.
After Shi Buxi distributed the talismans, he also received the hair of the five people. He wrapped them in yellow talismans, put them in a lucky bag, and stuffed them into his sleeves.
"I'm curious about your sleeves." Zong Ziyu took the gun and set off with Shi Buxi.
"Let me show you," Shi Buyi handed the crossbow to Zong Ziyu, bent his elbow, and with his other hand, lifted up his wide sleeve, revealing a large pocket sewn inside. "You can put things in it, but it can't be too heavy."
Shibuxi is generally used to hold painted talismans.
Zong Ziyu looked Shi Buxi up and down and said with a smile, "It's quite convenient, but I definitely don't look as good in a Taoist robe as you do."
Shi Bushi has a slender figure, fair and translucent skin, a bun on his head, a handsome face, and an extraordinary temperament. Therefore, he does not look ugly in the old-fashioned green robe. Instead, he has a feeling of being an otherworldly master.
"Of course," Shi Buyi smiled and glanced around, saying, "Pheasants usually like to hide in the bushes. Let's go where there are more bushes."
"How do you know?" Zong Ziyu asked.
"I've lived in the mountains since I was a child!" Shi Buyi replied. He often stayed alone in the mountains, spending his time studying Daoist techniques and playing with small animals, so he was very familiar with their habits. He never tried to catch any, though. Firstly, most wild animals were protected at the time, and secondly, he had plenty of food.
Zong Ziyu thought about it. There were mountains in many places on the main planet, but he had never heard of anyone learning Taoism on any of the mountains. Moreover, Shi Buxi was so powerful that he should have been discovered long ago...
"Ugh, what smells so bad?" Zong Ziyu immediately covered his mouth, but the stench of the corpse had already penetrated his nose, and he couldn't help but dry heave a few times.
Shi Buxi also covered his mouth and walked forward following the smell. After passing a bush, a pile of small animal corpses appeared in front of him. The corpses of rabbits, pheasants, deer and other animals were piled together. Some had already rotted, and some looked like they had just died. The small animals whose bodies were still intact had two bloody holes on their necks.
[Ugh, ugh, what the hell.]
[Oh my god, it's the same as the vampire data I've been researching recently.]
[Ahhh, so many corpses. Ahhhh, they must be vampire bites. There are vampires here.]
[They really do drink the blood of small animals. Ugh, I can't take it anymore. I want to vomit.]
[So scary, so scary, Blue Planet is so scary, ahhhh, why are there scary things like vampires besides zombies?]
[It feels like watching a zombie apocalypse video. I have goosebumps all over my body. Little Taoist priest, run! They might be hiding somewhere.]
[The dead animals here are piled up like a mountain. Does this mean their base camp is here?]
The audience's faces turned pale, and some people had already switched screens and went out to frantically @ the Zombie Research Team.
[The Blue Star cannot be opened. It absolutely cannot be opened. It's too terrible.]
[How terrifying! If something like this appeared on the main planet, ahhhh, how terrifying!]
The audience screamed in fear and couldn't help but imagine that a blood-sucking monster appeared on their planet, and they were shaking with fear.
[We must destroy them and blow up the Blue Planet.]
[Are you crazy? This is humanity's home planet.]
"Are you still looking for small animals?" Shi Buyi asked with a serious look.
"Let's stop looking. We need to inform Feng Shen and tell them not to go any deeper." Zong Ziyu said, then regretted, "We've already walked some distance. How can we find them?"
[Call while walking. It's spacious here, maybe someone can hear you.]
[I'm afraid they'll call the vampires.]
What should I do then?
"I have a way." Shi Buyi squatted down, reached into his sleeve, took out a yellow talisman, and took out a hair from the lucky bag that had previously contained hair, put it into the yellow talisman, spread it on his legs, and folded it up.
"What are you doing?" Zong Ziyu asked curiously.
"Origami crane." Shi Buyi replied without raising his head.
The audience and Zong Ziyu were both confused. Shouldn't they be looking for someone right now? What was he doing with this stack of things?
【Ahhh, I'm so anxious.】
[Don't argue, the child must have his own ideas.]
[Can we still let this yellow talisman lead the way? ]
"That's right," Shi Buyi said, standing up. In his left hand, he held a paper crane about three fingers wide. With his right index and middle fingers together, he drew something in the air on the crane, mumbling to himself.
Just when everyone wanted to ask him what he was doing, Shi Buxi let go, and the paper crane that was originally held in his hand floated in the air.
Zong Ziyu/audience: ...
Shi Buxi ignored everyone's shocked looks and said to Zhihe, "Go find Feng Shen and tell him we found a pile of corpses and suspect there might be a vampire base nearby. Come back quickly."
"Yes!" the paper crane responded and flew away.
The audience and Zong Ziyu stared at this scene in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time after the paper crane left. The words kept repeating in their minds: Fly, fly away, the paper crane flew away. It, it even spoke.
I must be dreaming…
