Arriving at a Cainiao Post Station on the outskirts of the city, the space was very small, only a dozen square meters, and there was only one door at the exit.
On the way here, Gu Lingchuan collected some zombie blood. When they arrived at the Cainiao Station, he first controlled Su Min to go inside.
He then cut open Liu Zhigang's left middle finger and dripped zombie blood onto the wound. When the black veins on the finger became visible, he cut off the middle finger and then controlled Liu Zhigang to go inside.
The door was locked securely, and the two watched the entire process.
After releasing the two people from control, Gu Lingchuan moved to the balcony diagonally above and began absorbing the last three zombie crystals while leaning on his wheelchair. Nearly ten hours of micro-management mental power had reached its limit. He just wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep yet.
The insults Gu Lingchuan heard that night were probably more than he had in his entire life.
Lies, pleas for mercy, insults, and wails formed a symphony. Gu Lingchuan slowly fell asleep. He ignored the zombies attracted by the noise, and he didn't have the strength to do so. He had exhausted himself today.
As for agreeing to return to the survivor base, that's on the premise that I'm still alive. If the zombies jump to the second floor, then let's just end it here.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Lingchuan slowly opened his eyes, his mind still foggy and his body feeling weak.
"They're still alive?" Gu Lingchuan said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Looking down, there were only four zombies that had been attracted last night, one of which was Liu Zhigang. As for Su Min, she wasn't so lucky; she didn't even turn into a zombie.
I checked my physical condition and found I was very weak, and I couldn't even engage in mental activities.
Now all we can do is wait for the mental realm to recover. It's rare to have such good weather today; the sky has been overcast ever since the apocalypse began.
Having avenged himself, what should he do next? His parents had passed away long ago, five years ago when Gu Lingxiao was still a minor.
When his parents passed away suddenly, he inherited the entire estate and trampled all the covetous shareholders underfoot, taking over the entire group.
All of this seemed to be his own doing, but he really didn't harm his parents. Since then, Gu Lingxiao has had a rift with him.
I don't know how many of my relatives are still alive in this world. My maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather are no longer in Lijiang City. To go back, I would have to travel more than 3,000 kilometers, which is basically impossible in this day and age.
There were a few distant relatives in Lijiang City, but they were from several generations ago and they were not familiar with each other at all. For a time, they could not find a reason to live.
He planned to return to the Bluefish Survivor Base once he recovered somewhat. He was quite interested in the monster. At first, he thought it was being controlled by Lin Yu, but he discovered that Lin Yu and Lin An also had parasites in their minds, so it seemed that things weren't so simple.
He took a can of eight-treasure porridge from his backpack, and the sound of pulling it open attracted the nearest zombie.
The zombies' sensitivity to sound has increased again; it would be terrifying if they regained their sense of smell and could smell humans one day.
After drinking some water, Gu Lingchuan closed his eyes to rest. By the afternoon, he had recovered somewhat and easily dealt with three or four zombies that posed no threat to him.
There were three crystals among them, and everyone except Liu Zhigang, who had just turned into a zombie, had them.
Carrying three zombie crystals, they headed towards the Blue Fish survivor base.
Gu Lingchuan deliberately took a detour on his way there, and it only took him three hours to get back.
The guards were somewhat afraid of Gu Lingchuan, partly because they saw that Gu Lingchuan opened the door without any hindrance, and partly because Lin Yu had instructed them to let Gu Lingchuan in immediately.
"Brother Lin told me to take you directly to him when I see you," the burly man said somewhat reservedly.
Gu Lingchuan nodded to him, and soon found Lin Yu.
After the guards left, Lin Yu poured Gu Lingchuan a glass of water.
I thought you weren't coming.
It has been three days since he left that day, and Gu Lingchuan slept for a full day and night in between.
"Some unexpected things happened in the middle, let me talk about it."
Lin Yu took a sip of water. "If I may ask, what is President Gu's special ability?"
"Of course, let me first talk about my special ability, which is simply the ability to communicate with animals."
Gu Lingchuan didn't answer him directly, but instead asked, "Did you control that blue fish monster?"
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised. "President Gu saw it? When did it happen?"
"The night I arrived, I saw you feeding it people infected with the zombie virus. Do you need my help or something else? Just say it directly," Gu Lingchuan said bluntly.
Lin Yu nodded. "This story begins with the outbreak of the apocalypse. After that night, I discovered that I could communicate with animals and insects, and I could interfere to some extent with those weaker than me. My physical abilities are also much stronger than those of ordinary people."
"At the time, I gathered a lot of people and cleared out the zombies in Qingyu Village. Then I used the Qingyu fishing base as a gathering point, which was my biggest mistake."
"I thought there was plenty of food in the grass carp pond, and that making grass carp my staple food would be a good choice. That was my second mistake."
"Because the flesh of these bluefish contains the eggs of that bluefish monster, which are difficult to kill at high temperatures, eating these fish will result in parasitism."
"Whether the parasite is in the brain or not, I only found out after I discovered the Blue Fish Monster and talked to it, but by then it was too late; everyone, including me, had already been parasitized."
"Why do the parasitized people keep doing the same basic repetitive things?" Gu Lingchuan interjected, remembering the state of those guards back then.
"This is the Blue Fish Monster activating its superpower: seven-second memory."
"It will forget what happened in those seven seconds afterward. This state occurs whenever the Blue Fish Monster is emotionally unstable."
"The blue carp monster's emotions have become increasingly unstable lately; those that have been parasitizing for a long time can now be controlled by it and walk into the fishpond."
"I can't solve this problem with my own special ability. The day before yesterday, I discovered that President Gu can also control other people's bodies, so I wanted to talk to him to see if there was a solution."
"Can't we just kill them directly?" Gu Lingchuan asked.
Lin Yu shook his head. "If it dies, the parasites will completely spiral out of control, which is why I've been keeping it calm. But this information might not be accurate because it was all gleaned from conversations with the other party."
Lin An decided to lay everything out, knowing that if things continued to develop unchecked, he would likely lose control.
"This is a bit tricky. My ability can kill the parasites in the brain, but I'm not sure if the person can live after the parasites die. The key question is whether there will be any problems if the thing remains in the brain after it dies."
After listening to Lin Yu's account, Gu Lingchuan also began to think about possible solutions to the problem.
"Then let's find someone to give it a try," Lin Yu said, as if he had made up his mind.
"Who should I look for?"
"I"
Gu Lingchuan looked up at Lin Yu, meeting his gaze in those bloodshot eyes.
Are you serious?
Although the parasite in Lin Yu's brain was the smallest and most listless, it was still in his brain, and it was connected to three brain nerves whose function was unknown.
Lin Yu nodded. "It was my wrong decision that led them into the abyss, and it was only right."
"Before, I could intervene to stop the parasites from devouring my brain, but prolonged suppression only leads to a more violent backlash, and I'm almost at my breaking point."
