Chapter 30: Phantom Insect Demon
"Ex-boyfriend?"
"Oh my god..."
"Aren't you two men?"
These boys in the guard team looked at each other as if they had heard some unbelievable news, their eyes flickering back and forth between Peng Pai and Jiang Changyi.
Tsk.
Jiang Changyi almost forgot that there were straight men in this world. This ex-boyfriend was really annoying, otherwise he wouldn't have caused such a joke.
Furthermore, these people were so stupid that they couldn't understand the main point at all. Jiang Changyi had no choice but to emphasize again: "Either let me in, or go and call Zong Qiong out. Otherwise, none of you can bear this responsibility."
Peng Pai's arm was aching terribly, and he was speechless at these confused straight men. "I'm injured like this, and no one is helping me?! Why do you care what this outsider says?"
"Ohhhhh."
This group of straight men thought Peng Pai was right, and hurriedly helped him to find a doctor. Jiang Changyi and a little boy with a fur were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Uh..." The little boy scratched his head, seeming to have no idea how to deal with it.
Jiang Changyi really didn't want to waste any more time, so he pushed him inside and said, "Take me to find Zong Qiong. He's an Awakened One. You don't have to worry about a threat from an ordinary person like me."
"Okay...but President Zong Qiong is not in the cafeteria. He is working in the teaching building."
The little boy was very easy to talk to, or to say, he was easily led by the nose, so he obediently took Jiang Changyi to find Zong Qiong.
It wasn't until he entered the office that Jiang Changyi understood what he meant by office.
Since the internet and power were cut off, Zong Qiong could only use pen and paper to record and process information, and wrote something quickly on the printed paper at his desk.
Zong Qiong was very focused. He just looked up and had no other reaction.
Jiang Changyi gave the little boy a look, and the latter left tactfully.
Seeing Zong Qiong so focused, Jiang Changyi suddenly didn't know how to start.
"Um...you should know that I went outside the school today, right?"
Zong Qiong didn't even raise his head and just nodded softly.
Seeing this, Jiang Changyi didn't hesitate to tell the Corpse King and the Insect Queen about his discovery.
But after listening to him, Zong Qiong did not ask about these two things, but instead asked him: "Are you an awakened one?"
Jiang Changyi was silent.
Zong Qiong did not ask any further questions. He already had the answer in his heart, and Jiang Changyi's non-answer would not affect his judgment.
"The Worm Queen, the Corpse King... they won't simply be a cooperative relationship. A three-way balance of power is inevitable. Once humanity's power is completely shaken, they'll definitely turn on each other."
Jiang Changyi: "That's true, but it's impossible for humans to be driven into a dead end like this, right?"
Zong Qiong: "Alas, the wisdom of mortals..."
Zong Qiong paused mid-sentence, then put down his pen and looked at Jiang Changyi. "The Awakened are not so much awakened as they are inherited from humans in another world, such as skills, martial arts, abilities, and even knowledge."
"The profession I inherited is called Scholar. Besides gaining analytical abilities and telekinesis, I also inherited a vast amount of knowledge, including... records of the Zerg and the Undead."
Hearing this, Jiang Changyi felt a little emotional.
He thought his awakened profession was special enough, but he didn't expect Zong Qiong's profession was even more special, so he continued to listen patiently.
"The Zerg do possess the ability to socialize and divide labor, and their leader isn't the Zerg Queen. The Zerg Queen is the branch of the Zerg responsible for reproduction."
"The Phantom Insect Demon is the leader of a Zerg swarm. They are powerful psychics, relying on their immense mental power to control the vast swarms and maintain normal operations. When faced with human attacks, they specialize in using illusions that are almost indistinguishable from reality."
"Zombies, or the undead, don't have a flexible social division of labor. Instead, a zombie king is chosen from the battles and becomes the sole leader. Such leaders often possess great power, but their evolutionary forms vary."
"Simply put, the Undead rely on infection, while the Zerg rely on reproduction. Their leaders may indeed evolve at an extraordinary rate, but it hasn't reached a level that could overturn the table."
"As for humans... there are many ways for humans to evolve, such as... wisdom that surpasses all other mortals."
There was a hint of fanaticism on Zong Qiong's face, and he looked a little crazy.
"Although traditional thermal weapons are no longer effective, barriers, formations, energy weapons... these energy technologies developed by advanced intelligent life forms are undoubtedly more advanced variations of those scrap metals. Once these technologies are developed, whether it's the Corpse King or the Phantom Insect Demon... they will be nothing more than ants."
It turns out that except for a small area on the paper on the table that was about the construction of the survivor base, all the other papers were about research.
Jiang Changyi: "..."
But why do I feel that this cool-faced, gentle and handsome guy seems to have become a little out of the spotlight?
Does inheriting memories change a person's personality?
However, Jiang Changyi understood what he meant. To put it simply: the insect demon and the corpse king are not as scary as imagined. Once he develops powerful weapons, he will be able to fight them.
Since that was the case, Jiang Changyi didn't plan to pay too much attention to this issue. He took Jiang Changming directly to Wang Xin. After the treatment was completed, he was sent to Jiang Changsi for classes.
As for Peng Pai who was bitten, Jiang Changyi had long forgotten about him.
A few days passed like this, and the monsters in the school were finally cleared out. The survivors in the school finally gathered together and formed a huge force.
However, as the number of people increased, the problem of supply shortage became more and more serious. The stock in the school cafeteria alone was definitely not enough, so they had to expand outward and obtain supplies.
But going out means risks. There are many kinds of monsters outside and they are very powerful. No one knows if they will be the next person to die.
But if no one goes, then we can only sit and wait for death, right?
Jiang Changyi didn't care what they thought. He was going to go out and search for supplies anyway. He also wanted to go to the farmers' market to get some seeds and baby animals to raise in the contract space.
After all, after a power outage, the meat, fruits and vegetables in the mall will definitely not be able to stay fresh and will all go bad, but the nutrients that the human body needs every day are all in these foods.
Besides, the sour and sweet fruits and the fragrant barbecue hot pot are precious enough just to taste in this doomsday.
So Jiang Changyi took Chu Yesheng on the journey of leaving school again, leaving Leo with Wu Wanqiu, Jiang Changming and Jiang Changsi to protect them.
