Chapter 20 The End of the World 20
"Good sister, just tell me - who is that person? What is his relationship with the boss?"
Qiao Ce sat on the chair, tiptoed, tilted his head and asked curiously.
The woman sitting at the table admired her new red manicure. The red dress outlined her sexy figure, flaming red lips, and elegant movements.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, be careful that Wang will pinch your little head off."
Qu Hong fiddled with her curly long hair, and every move was full of charm.
Qiao Ce recalled the scene where Tang Ji, with an expressionless face, pinched off the head of the zombie who offended him, and shuddered.
"I'm really curious about who can make the boss so emotional, and he's a pure human being, although that person is really powerful..."
"Benefits?"
"I'll give you a week's worth of food."
Qiao Ce said with a pained look.
"That's what you said."
Qu Hong put her long hair aside, put her red lips close to Qiao Ce's ear, and whispered softly.
"That's because your boss is a love-brained person."
"Ah???"
Qiao Ce covered his ears and turned to look at Qu Hong with a confused look.
"What did you say?"
What do you think our cool and domineering boss is?
Who do you think is a love-brained person?
Is it the love-brained person I understand?
Qu Hong crooked her foxy eyes, looked at Qiao Ce's face full of disbelief, and laughed.
"Believe it or not, I've said this now, you can figure it out for yourself."
"No? Where's the evidence? What right do you have to say that, Boss!"
Qiao Ce felt that the image of the Boss in his mind was shattered, and he shouted loudly.
"That's another price." Qu Hong casually lifted a strand of long hair.
"Okay, two weeks." Qiao Ce gritted his teeth.
"Deal." Qu Hong smiled with a curled lip.
"Did you know that Wang used to live with humans?"
"What? Live with humans?"
Qiao Ce was petrified.
Zombies and humans have always been in a life-and-death relationship between hunters and prey. Normally, they would fight to the death, and it would be fine if they didn't fight each other to death. How could they have a good relationship?
"Yes, the king was picked up by that man during his growth period, and he stayed in the Dawn Base until he became an adult. No, to be precise, it was six years from the age of fifteen to twenty-one."
"The growth period is the weakest stage of the Zombie King, and his body and strength are not yet fully mature. As the king's power gradually grows, his connection with us becomes stronger."
"We all felt the presence of the king in that base, and many low-level zombies were attracted there just to be cannon fodder. Later, Liang Jue thought that guy was really brave. He actually dared to sneak into a base with so many psychics."
"Woc, if he was discovered, wouldn't he be torn into pieces?"
Qiao Ce took a breath.
"Yes, then we heard the news that the zombies had invaded the base. We all thought that Liang Jue had been caught, but he managed to escape back. But that was also thanks to his speed ability."
"He's back, but what about the boss?"
"That's why I said your boss is in love."
Qu Hong couldn't help but twitch her mouth when she thought of that.
She has always been free to do whatever she wants. She doesn't regard humans as mortal enemies like Liang Jue does, but she can't say that she has much affection for humans.
This is a natural physiological manifestation of zombies, just like you don't really have much affection for the food in your mouth.
"Wang has developed feelings for that human, and he loves the house and the people in it. He can't bear to hurt the human, and he won't run away. Now, he can catch him every time."
Qiao Ce was so fascinated by what he heard that even his feet that were swinging on the stool stopped.
"What will happen next? How will those humans treat the boss?"
The boss is still in front of her, so he was definitely not killed directly.
"Heh," Qu Hong, who was always cruel, couldn't help but sneer when she thought of what happened next.
"What else? He was sent to the laboratory."
How could those humans be willing to give up such good experimental materials.
"Then why didn't the boss resist? Even if he couldn't kill those people at that time, he shouldn't be unable to escape with his strength, right?"
Qu Hong rolled her eyes ungracefully.
"How should I know this? You should pry open Wang's head and see what he was thinking at that time."
Qu Hong knew these things, firstly because she and Liang Jue knew each other earlier, and secondly, she also participated in the action of picking Wang up from the base that day, and she also got a lot of information.
The third thing, of course, she saw it with her own eyes.
She still remembers the time when she saw the two people sitting in the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat from a distance. They had smiles on their faces, so genuine, she had never seen such smiles since she became a zombie.
After being infected with the zombie virus, all previous memories will be forgotten.
But after seeing the smiles of those two people, the blurred memories for a moment made her feel a little clearer.
It made her have the illusion that there was someone who smiled at her like this before.
But the illusion is just an illusion.
How can a zombie feel human emotions again?
The heart that once beat violently has stopped long ago. No matter how realistically the heartbeat is imitated, it is just an illusion.
That's why Qu Hong was puzzled.
Why could he smile so happily?
Was this the Zombie King?
The closest being to humans?
Qu Hong always looked down on the food in her mouth, thinking it was mean and hypocritical, always wearing a false face. She had seen countless zombies fighting and killing each other.
But at that moment, she actually felt a little jealous.
"How dare humans conduct experiments on the boss?!"
Qiao Ce's voice brought Qu Hong's thoughts back to reality.
"Not only did they do it, they did it for three whole years."
After Tang Ji came back, Qu Hong also explored the reason why he had not left for three years.
He obviously had the ability and opportunity to leave at the beginning, so why didn't he leave?
After thinking about it, in the end, there was only one absurd reason to explain it.
Tang Ji couldn't bear to leave the man named Qin Ling, and he felt guilty for hiding his identity.
Three years of experiments are more than enough to repay this so-called "favor".
Qu Hong saw Tang Ji when he was just brought back by Liang Jue.
A thin body, numerous pinholes on the arms, and clear traces of cuts and sutures on the exposed skin...
Not to mention Liang Jue at that time, even she herself wanted to pry open their king's head to see what was inside.
Is this the price of having "feelings"?
She thought.
That's a bit too heavy.
...
Qin Ling didn't know where he should go, but just rode his motorcycle aimlessly, stopping and starting along the way, and occasionally helping some people in need.
After parking the car to one side, Qin Ling stood on the top of a hill, with a small cliff several dozen meters high at his feet and a piece of sand below.
He put his hand in his pocket.
The slight breeze on the mountain blew the broken hair by his ears, brushed across his face, and brought a slight itch.
When he felt the paper packaging with his fingertips, he paused, hooked his fingers slightly, and took out the green-wrapped chocolate hidden in his pocket.
He opened the chocolate's packaging and put the exquisite chocolate into his mouth.
The matcha-flavored chocolate was sweet with a slight bitterness, which spread from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth.
Qin Ling tasted the chocolate very seriously, feeling the chocolate gradually melt under the temperature of the mouth, and the lingering sweetness slid into the throat and went to the heart.
His fingertips touched his pocket again, paused for a moment, but withdrew his hand.
Qin Ling looked at the sunset in the distance.
The sky and the clouds have formed a straight line, with an orange round sun in it, and a circle of gradual halo around it, softening the sky and dyeing it orange.
The sun finally set after emitting its last afterglow, quietly waiting for the next rotation.
Qin Ling looked forward to the next time the sun rose as usual, and to the reunion with what he had thought of in his heart.
The scenes had played in his mind.
Qin Ling counted the various memories.
The hand in his pocket suddenly tightened.
He discovered.
The strangeness of the day before.
In that battle, even if Qin Ling stood in the front and posed a life threat to the zombie, the high-level zombie was vaguely jealous of him.
In the short few seconds of the fight, the zombie paused for about one or two seconds at first, and then vaguely avoided the fight with Qin Ling.
Thinking of this, Qin Ling subconsciously grabbed the chocolate in his pocket.
is it you?
Have you found me yet?
Qin Ling turned around suddenly and shouted to the empty rear:
"Tang Ji!"
No one answered.
The wind brought up a fallen leaf, swirling and falling at Qin Ling's feet.
Qin Ling bent down and twirled the withered leaf with his fingers, lowered his eyes and thought deeply, and whispered:
"Are you unwilling to appear?"
Turning around, Qin Ling took a few steps forward and reached the edge of the cliff.
Looking down, there is a small slope covered with sand and gravel, about tens of meters in height.
Qin Ling stood on the edge of the cliff, and the falling rocks at his feet slid down, raising dust.
Qin Ling took a deep breath, closed his eyes, opened his hands, and then -
fell back.
"Tang Ji!!!"
If you were here, you would definitely catch me.
At the moment of falling, Qin Ling shouted again with all his strength.
The wind whistled in his ears.
Qin Ling fell rapidly with gravity, like a butterfly with broken wings.
Then someone opened his arms and caught his beloved butterfly.
Qin Ling fell into a warm and familiar embrace.
His tightly closed eyes opened and met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
Qin Ling raised his head slightly, staring at his boy in a daze, and raised his hand to touch his face.
The handsome face had lost the youth in his memory, and there was a hint of strangeness in the familiarity.
"Brother Qin..."
Tang Ji held the person in his arms, his lips opened and closed, and then he uttered a sigh-like word from his mouth.
...
"Wow, it's a beautiful sister!"
"Sister is so cool and handsome, sister, come and step on me!"
"Hahahaha, brother Tang's love brain is really good."
"Why don't you look at who the target is? I am willing to be a dog in front of Captain Qin. That waist, those legs, that face hehe, shashasha... Captain Qin, look at me, look at me!"
"The people upstairs, please be more restrained, your saliva is all over my head."
"But speaking of love brains, in fact, Captain Qin's love brain is not much behind. He had a blatant preference before, and now he is betting his life on brother Tang's existence."
"Ah, these two are heading in a two-way direction (crying.jpg)"
"So why are two love brains creating a feeling of sadomasochism... I smell the scent of be."
"I... I burst into tears, it's been three years! Three years of separation, both of them miss each other."
"If you want to kill me, just say it directly. Don't use these twists and turns..."
"Brother Tang has been quietly following Captain Qin since he left the base. You really shouldn't be too fond of him."
Jun Zhaoliu ate a watermelon in his consciousness while reading the comments from netizens.
"It seems that my acting skills haven't deteriorated after all these years. Well, my scriptwriting skills still need to be improved. I need to practice more."
"Next time, give me seedless watermelon. This one has too many seeds. Ugh, Ugh."
Jun Zhaoliu: My own watermelon is delicious.
001: ...
001: Let me remind you that there is still the unstable factor Xu Nianci in this world. You should play it easy.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this bad boy should have developed an antidote for the zombies soon, right?"
001 glanced at the progress of the world line, and suddenly jumped forward a lot from some time period.
001: Yes. At 10:50 this morning, Xu Nianci successfully prepared the most effective antidote for the zombie virus in the laboratory.
"It's worth it that I served as his experimental guinea pig for three years. The speed is not bad. It's three years ahead of the original world line."
001: Isn't this protagonist evil? Aren't you worried?
Jun Zhaoliu continued to eat the watermelon in his hand.
"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to meet him again."
