The whole world was bright red.
The sea beneath his feet had been dyed red with blood, and the sky was also painted dark. Fang Zheng stood here and could hear the world wailing and wailing. Countless corpses rose and fell in the sea of blood, like clumps of seaweed drifting with the waves.
The world is dying, but life will not end.
Fang Zheng lowered his head and looked at his body. Scales emerged from his skin and covered his body. The huge power burned and expanded, making his body even bigger. In the blink of an eye, a giant dragon appeared between the sky and the earth. With its appearance, the red sea water began to flow, and it turned into raging waves, rushing towards the giant dragon in front of him from all directions.
"boom!!"
A huge wave hundreds of meters high, reaching the sky and the earth, suddenly rose up, and then fell heavily, completely covering the dragon. But the next moment, accompanied by the sound of explosions, mist rose, and the scorching flames turned into pillars of fire that shot up into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it swept everything away...
“Woo…”
Fang Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling in front of him.
"This dream is really not very auspicious..."
While recalling the dream he had before, Fang Zheng shook his head. It was not just a nightmare. Fang Zheng could feel that this dream was very likely related to how to solve the problems of this world. But...what were those mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
Could it be that in this kind of world, is there anything that can pose a threat to me?
"Woo...are you awake? Big brother?"
"Uh-huh?"
Hearing the voice coming from beside him, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Hei sticking his head out from his side and looking at him with a smile.
"Xiao Hei? Why are you here?"
"Because I want to sleep with big brother. Cui can sleep with you, so it should be okay for me too. Big brother will definitely be very happy to have two such lovely girls sleeping with you, hehehe..."
"A little devil."
Looking at Xiao Hei with a smug smile on her face, Fang Zheng reached out and patted her on the head.
"Okay, wake up!"
After breakfast, everyone came to the warehouse where Sanka Reiya was imprisoned. Unexpectedly, the zombie girl was still sitting on the chair blankly, looking like a lifeless doll. However, the zombie girl's neck was no longer hanging on her chest like before. Fang Zheng used his ability to manipulate time to make the zombie girl's neck return to the state before it was broken... But unfortunately, Fang Zheng's ability could not turn her back to a living person.
Fang Zheng walked up to the zombie girl and sat down, looking at her and speaking.
"Good morning."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's greeting, the zombie girl turned her head slightly, looked at Fang Zheng with her lifeless eyes, and then she opened her mouth.
"Greetings... Greetings..."
"You are... Miss Sanka Reiya, right?"
“…”
This time, the zombie girl nodded slightly.
"yes……"
"Very good, then next, I have a few questions for you."
As Fang Zheng spoke, he took out a pencil and a notebook. He first stretched out his hand, pointed at the pencil, and then began to speak.
"Do you know what this is?"
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Li Mi widened her eyes, stared at the pencil in Fang Zheng's hand, frowned as if she was trying hard to recall something, and then she stammered and spoke.
"...lead, pencil..."
"And this?"
"...pen, pen...notes..."
Having said this, Li Mi couldn't help but clench her fists and tremble. She seemed to be trying hard to remember the name of the thing Fang Zheng was holding in his hand, but she couldn't remember it.
"Paper... for notes..."
“It’s called a notebook.”
Fang Zheng tapped the notebook in his hand, while Li Ya thought for a moment and nodded.
"notebook."
"So, what is one plus one?"
"two……"
“Where is the capital of the United States?”
"...Washington..."
"Brother Fang Zheng, what are you doing?"
Seeing Fang Zheng talking to the zombie girl in front of him like he was teaching a child, Tina blinked and looked at Xia Shi beside her curiously. But Xia Shi shook her head, obviously she didn't know what was going on.
"So, do you remember... where you went to school?"
“…”
Hearing this question, Reiya frowned again and recalled painfully.
"I'm in... a school... full of girls..."
She became more and more anxious as she spoke, and just like before, she seemed unable to express herself well in words.
"The place for studying... is very big..."
“That’s the school.”
"School……!"
The zombie girl nodded vigorously again and repeated Fang Zheng's words.
"Um...school...I'm at school...going to school..."
"You didn't eat."
Fang Zheng put away his notebook and looked at the plate beside him. This was the breakfast that Xia Shi had prepared for Li Mi. It was a simple breakfast of bread, sausage and eggs, but the zombie girl didn't eat a single bite - or rather, she didn't even touch it.
"Aren't you hungry?"
“…”
This time, Li Mi didn't say anything. I don't know whether she didn't understand or didn't want to answer.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Wait here for a while, I will come to find you."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned around and left the room with the others. After he closed the door, Xiao Hei immediately couldn't wait to ask.
"Big brother, how is the situation?"
"Hmm... just as I thought, it's a little bit bad."
"Not so good?"
"Yes."
Fang Zheng nodded, then he turned his head and glanced through the window at Li Mi, who was still sitting in the chair in a daze, motionless.
"Although I have cured her physical injuries, the internal erosion is not so easy to stop. As I said before, the virus and she have created a delicate balance, which is like a tug-of-war. Both sides are evenly matched, but if this continues, she will gradually be eroded by the virus and lose herself again."
"What should we do then?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Fang Zheng anxiously, and Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"For now, the best way is to help her remember who she is. Only when she reaffirms her self-awareness... maybe we can control the further erosion of the virus. So I plan to take her to Sanhua Girls' Academy to have a look. Maybe..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng once again looked at the zombie girl who was sitting blankly on the chair.
"…what clues can we find?"
