Chapter 27
Shi Buxi was also surprised when he was carried out of the window. What was even more surprising was that he did not resist. He was trusting him, trusting this zombie whom he had never even seen.
"After this batch of corpse poison is transported away, we can return to the main planet! I'm really afraid of staying with these vampires. I always feel like they are drooling at me, and I don't know when they will come up and bite me. I can't sleep well at night." A low male voice sounded, full of fatigue.
"Oh, it's hard to say." The male voice replied with sarcasm.
Two voices floated out from the window and reached the ears of the two people hanging on the outer wall.
Shi Buxi was a bit surprised that the building was actually inhabited. After the surprise subsided, he realized how awkward his posture was. He was 5'8" tall, but with only one arm of the Yaya zombie clasping his waist, it was uncomfortably tight. His legs felt strangely tumbling down without support.
It only took him a second to think, and Shi Buxi raised his hand without hesitation, put his arm around the Yaya zombie's neck, folded his legs, and wrapped them directly around his waist, feeling comfortable.
Zong Zhengqing was already feeling uneasy after holding his little queen in his arms again after more than ten years. His action instantly made her breath become disordered. She lowered her head to look at him and met a pair of clear eyes filled with smiles.
I'm tired.
The boy mouthed the words silently, and the familiar feeling came over him again: so clingy, so fond of laughter. The heart-wrenching cries during separation seemed like his imagination.
"How do you say that?"
The conversation in the stairwell continued.
"I heard a piece of news. The seniors who left here before, who said they took the money to travel and settle in the outer space, were actually all killed."
"How is that possible?"
"I'm just reminding you this time. You'll have to figure out how to survive later on!"
The sound stopped, and a faint smell of smoke drifted out from the window. About ten minutes later, there was movement again.
"Let's go. If you don't go back, you'll be interrogated again."
The mocking man's voice rang out again, followed by the sound of footsteps and doors closing, and the stairs returned to silence.
"Let's go." Shi Buyi held the man in his arms. Seeing him staring at him blankly, he tilted his head slightly and touched his forehead.
Zong Zhengqing looked at the young man who was doing all this with an innocent face, took a deep breath, and jumped into the stairs again with the man in his arms.
"Are you a zombie with thinking ability?" Shi Buyi still had doubts about his identity.
Zong Zhengqing was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Then are you colluding with these vampires?" Shi Buyi asked again.
Zong Zhengqing shook his head.
"That's good. If you listen to them, you are not a good person. Don't let them catch you. Let's go first!" Shi Buxi patted his shoulder and took out the small paper crane he had taken back from his sleeve. Inside was the camera that he had quickly stuffed in.
When Zong Zhengqing saw that he was about to follow the little paper crane, he immediately grabbed him.
"I still need to find someone." Shi Buxi turned around and said, "Of course, I also want to see what's going on inside."
Upon hearing this, Zong Zhengqing held his hand and pulled him up the stairs.
Shi Buxi was stunned for a moment and quickly caught up.
The two climbed two more floors before entering through the staircase door. It was a dark corridor where you couldn't see your hand in front of you. However, for some reason, the Fangya zombie was not affected at all, as if it were daytime.
Shi Buxi couldn't see clearly, not knowing what he would step on next. Feeling a little insecure, he couldn't help but move closer to the Yaya zombie, pinched his palm, and whispered, "Can you turn on the light?"
Zong Zhengqing was dazed by his warm hands and could not help but say in a hoarse voice, "No."
Time is not... / Zong Zhengqing: ...
"You can talk." Shi Buyi gritted his teeth secretly.
"Hmm!" Zong Zhengqing responded, leaning down slightly, holding the boy's waist tightly, and picking him up. Just like hanging him outside, he wrapped the boy's legs around his waist, patted his back, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid."
Shi Buxi: ..., are we that familiar with each other?
Zong Zhengqing continued to walk forward holding the person in his arms, his steps steady, but at this moment both his heart and expression were in turmoil.
Shi Buxi was a bit taken aback. It felt like the Yaya zombie had done this move a thousand times, a familiar one. Did he carry someone like this often before? With this in mind, he didn't even think about coming down. After all, he had just carried him like this outside, so it was only right that he be carried back now. And walking this way was better than walking in the dark, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a brightly lit room. Zong Zhengqing held the boy's body with one hand and opened the door with the other. Inside were Jian Xiaonan holding a terminal light and Jian Mingyuan sitting in front of a computer stealing information.
Time is not here/Jian Xiaonan/Jian Mingyuan: ...
The three of them looked at each other, and were all surprised and confused to see each other.
Shi Buxi didn't feel anything in the dark just now, but now that he was seen by the two of them, his cheeks felt a little hot and he quickly got off Zong Zhengqing.
“Beep!”
The optical computer issued a notification that the data had been successfully copied. Jian Mingyuan came back to his senses and quickly restored the optical computer to its original state, shutting it down. He then handed the storage terminal to Zong Zhengqing, "Your Highness, the list inside is incredible."
After saying this, she looked at Shi Buxi and saluted him, "Your Majesty the Queen."
Time is not here/Jian Xiaonan: ...
"Did you recognize the wrong person?" Shi Buyi asked doubtfully.
Jian Mingyuan immediately realized that he was in trouble and wanted to sew his mouth shut. "I..."
"Let's go, I'll take you out." Zong Zhengqing put away the storage terminal and looked at Shi Buxi.
"I haven't gone to see what's going on in here yet! If they really transported the corpse poison out, how many people would be harmed?" Shi Buxi felt that he couldn't leave like this.
"I'll take care of it." Zong Zhengqing finished speaking, feeling his voice a little stiff, and added, "Don't worry!"
"But aren't you a zombie?" Shi Buyi hesitated. No matter how you look at it, this matter should be handled by humans.
"Trust me." Zong Zhengqing looked into his eyes and said.
Shi Buxi couldn't help but nod when he looked at her.
The two were quickly escorted to a small alley two blocks away from the building. Zong Zhengqing and Jian Mingyuan had just left when the program's rescue team arrived. When they met, they stared at each other in bewilderment.
"Please answer the call." said the rescue team leader.
Shi Buxi responded and opened the terminal, noticing dozens of incoming calls, the latest one coming right now. He clicked on it to answer, only to hear the producer's yell, "Why is the camera suddenly silent? Why didn't you pick up the call?"
"The camera must have been attacked. My terminal was muted, so I didn't hear anything," Shi Buyi said. His terminal muted the camera's volume as well, so he had no idea the producer was looking for him.
Jian Xiaonan listened to the conversation between the two, opened the terminal, and found that in a short period of time, there were nearly sixty missed calls from various numbers.
"Attacked by the Fang Zombie." The producer said this in affirmatively, because the last picture captured by the camera was the appearance of the Fang Zombie.
"Yeah!" Shi Buxi responded.
"Okay, you guys come back first." The producer looked at the dark alley and felt very uneasy. As for what happened during the short time they were missing and what was going on with the building, let's talk about it after they come back!
The producer hung up the phone and was about to order the aircraft to fly to the contestants' camp when the terminal rang again. It was a hidden number. Normally, he would not have answered it in the past, but a golden badge was displayed on it, indicating a military communication.
When Shi Buxi and Jian Xiaonan returned to the camp, everyone quickly gathered around them and asked them about their situation.
"I was dazzled and thought I saw someone I knew." Jian Xiaonan said embarrassedly.
"I'm glad you're okay." Lu Feng didn't care. He stretched and said, "I'm going back to sleep."
"You have such a big heart." Zong Ziyu saw him leave without looking back, and looked at Shi Buyi. He saw him yawn and say he was going back to sleep. For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he was abnormal. Such a big thing had happened, why did everyone look so calm?
"Xiao Xi, can you turn on your camera?" The rescue team leader came over under the supervision to ask about the situation.
"Take a look." Shi Buxi handed him the camera and walked towards his car. The black-cloaked zombie's voice of "Your Majesty" was still echoing in his mind.
"Maybe I recognized the wrong person!" Shi Buyi murmured.
At this time, Jian Xiaonan was also not calm, and her eyes were always on Shi Buxi. Her brother's "Queen" was definitely not simple, but why did he call Xiaoxi "Her Majesty the Queen"?
After thinking about it, the most suspicious person is the man in white with my brother. After all, it is known to everyone that the emperor of the human empire loves white.
But, how is that possible?
Jian Xiaonan's eyes widened in shock, her heart beating rapidly. Her mind told her that this was impossible, but another voice in her heart said, maybe!
Shi Buxi slept until dawn. When he woke up, the pile of corpses outside had been cleared away. His camera had been repaired and was flying around outside the car like a little bee that couldn't find its way.
【Ahhh, it’s so good to be alive, Xiaoxi. 】
[I was so scared last night. The Yaya zombie was too much. He actually jumped out of the window holding you. If someone didn't know, they would have thought you eloped.]
[Did the Fang Zombie attack us last night? What's in that building?]
[Great God of the Universe, why are you treating me like this? I was on guard every night before, and nothing serious happened. But you didn't guard last night, and you caused such a big scene for me. Are you being fair to me?]
[Xiao Xi, what exactly is your spiritual power? How high is it? I really want to know. I really want to know.]
[Last night, there was a ghost that yelled "Ah!" and the vampires started moving. He must be the Vampire King. Let's kill him tonight!]
[Ah, little friend, I'm your new fan, look at me, look at me.]
Since last night, the video of Shi Buyi calling the shots has been widely circulated on the Star Network, shocking countless people. Many people flocked to the live broadcast room at midnight. However, they didn't expect that Shi Buyi's live broadcast room was closed, so they ran to other people's live broadcast rooms, but everyone else was asleep.
The audience who had nowhere to go flocked to the official Weibo and website of the program team, crashing both places. Finally, around midnight, Shi Buxi's live broadcast room was opened again, but the camera was placed outside the car, so new viewers had no chance to come and see Shi Buxi sleeping.
"New fans are good, old fans are good too." Shi Buxi yawned, waved hello to everyone, turned around and went to wash up.
The others also got up early, wondering if they could find food early today, leave the city and reach the port.
Breakfast was still bread and water, and after eating, everyone got in the car and drove around the city. They moved in groups of two, and if they found something, they would ask the audience to come to the live broadcast room to tell them.
The production team didn't say anything about them using the audience to communicate. After all, it was considered an interaction with the audience and could attract more viewers. Although the current traffic is higher than they originally expected, who can complain about too much traffic?
"Hey, are those soybeans?" Shi Buyi leaned over the car window as he headed towards the shops on the street. He saw a patch of dark brown bean pods in the grass and said, "Sister Nan, stop the car."
Jian Xiaonan was driving, and when he heard Shi Buxi's words, he stopped immediately.
Shi Buxi got out of the car, ran to the grass, pulled out two bean pods and squeezed them open. They were really soybeans.
"What is it used for?" Jian Xiaonan asked.
"Food." Shi Buyi said happily. He turned and ran back to the car, took the pot and picked beans.
Jian Xiaonan originally wanted to say that since we already had supplies, there was no need to do this. After all, not only did it look unpalatable, but it also needed to be cooked. However, seeing Shi Buxi's enthusiastic look, he didn't discourage him and joined in picking.
The two people only picked the beans, not the shells. In addition, soybeans have burrs that can easily prick people's hands, so their movements were slow. It took the two novices half an hour to pick all the beans, about five pounds, which filled a pot.
After picking the beans, the two of them wandered around the city until it was almost dark, and there was no news of their discovery from the audience, so they had to return to the square.
The six people looked at each other, and saw that each other's hands were empty. They looked at the camera with fierce eyes.
"Where are the supplies?" Feng Shen asked.
"There are only those two places." The supervisor said calmly, "Supplies for the apocalypse aren't that easy to find."
"That won't be completely gone." Zong Ziyu helped.
"Do you know how many people starved to death during the last few years?" The supervisor said, shutting everyone up. "Remember, this is survival in the apocalypse."
I wanted to refute him, but I knew he was right. Anyone who has studied history knows how difficult life was for mankind in the first few years.
"Is that vampire still there?" Feng Shen's voice was cold, as if he was going to take revenge.
"Let's have dinner. I'm hungry." Zong Ziyu saw Shi Buyi squatting beside the car, looking extremely hungry. He walked over and asked, "Didn't you have lunch?"
"I ate it." Shi Buyi said weakly.
"He only ate one piece of bread," Jian Xiaonan said. She asked him to eat another piece of bread, but he refused.
When the others heard this, they gave up their desire to fight with the production team and ate dinner, no, ate bread.
"The fish in the sea can be eaten, right?" Shi Buxi asked while chewing on bread.
"Of course." Feng Shen said, his throat moved. He also wanted to eat meat. Who could stand eating bread every day?
Shi Buxi nodded and decided that he would go fishing when he got to the sea tomorrow.
“Boom!”
Just when a few people were munching on bread with no desire to live, the sound of a flying vehicle was heard above their heads. Judging from its appearance, it was not the production crew.
The aircraft quickly descended in the square, the hatch slowly opened, and a group of old men came out.
The old man in the lead saw Shi Buxi, his eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed down the ladder to Shi Buxi and asked excitedly: "Where is my vampire?"
"If they come again tonight, you can catch them." Shi Buyi immediately knew who he was.
[Pfft, I split a huge piece last night, is there any more?]
[Hahaha, Professor Terrence, he finished the chopping last night. Didn't you watch StarNet?]
[If you go to the production crew now, you might even find a charred corpse, hahaha.]
Professor Terrence was startled and looked at Shi Buxi.
"I'll catch the Vampire King for you. He hasn't been chopped off yet!" Shi Buyi said seriously.
Audience: Why am I inexplicably worried about the Vampire King?
