Song Qi opened the window.
The people who were still arguing suddenly saw that the bridges on both sides had collapsed.
“The two comrades from the Jin faction, reconnect the highway and leave them in the middle,” Song Qi said.
"Okay!" The two of them were quite excited.
"That's pretty cool," Bai Yanxi remarked. "It's a pity I can't see what's going on with them now."
"You'll see when you get back," Song Qi smiled.
The journey went relatively smoothly after that, and they didn't even encounter any zombies, which surprised everyone.
However, Song Qi knew that a group of zombies had been following them, about a kilometer behind them.
Unsurprisingly, their actions have likely become known to people in City A.
Song Qi looked at her hands; her fingers were growing faster and faster, and she could only secretly remove them when she got out of the car for some fresh air each day.
She knew she should leave, but she felt that even if she became a zombie, she would become a rational one.
However, she didn't know if others would accept this.
"Did something happen to you?" Bai Yanxi asked, frowning as he followed behind Song Qi.
Song Qi paused, turned to look at Bai Yanxi, shook her long fingernails, took off her baseball cap, revealing her pale face and bloodshot eyes.
Bai Yanxi stared at Song Qi, unsure of what to say.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, "You're so beautiful."
Song Qi: ...
"Is that the important point?" Song Qi frowned. "Aren't you scared?"
"What are you afraid of? You won't do anything to me." Bai Yanxi stepped forward and touched Song Qi's face. "If you wore a little dress, you would look like a little princess in a comic book."
Song Qi rubbed his temples, somewhat speechless. He had been thinking for a long time about Bai Yanxi's reaction to this matter, but he never expected it to be this.
“But, logically speaking, you shouldn’t have turned into a zombie.” Bai Yanxi frowned.
Song Qi knew that Bai Yanxi was referring to the original plot.
"Who knows? Anyway, it doesn't have much of an impact on me." Song Qi burned off her nails.
She noticed that her nails had become increasingly hard lately, and she felt as if she could easily break a large tree if she raised her hand.
What are you going to do next?
"Let's find a chance to talk to them." Song Qi looked at his hands. "Burning my nails is too tiring. If I leave, will you come with me?"
“That’s right,” Bai Yanxi said. Who else could he follow if not Song Qi?
City A is located near the north, and the temperature here is lower than in City C.
Ordinary people were already bundled up in down jackets, and most of the superhumans were wearing long sleeves, but Song Qi was still wearing short sleeves, making him look out of place.
"I want to tell you something," Song Qi said, looking at the people sitting on the ground drinking water.
"Why are you so serious?" The others laughed.
“Because this is a very serious matter, and we’re almost in City A, I should say it.” Song Qi took off his hat and looked at them.
"you……"
"Why are your eyes red?"
"You've turned into a zombie?" Fan Yao asked, frowning.
Song Qi nodded.
Everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say.
“I can control myself, but I know that even if you accept me now, you will still have other ideas later.” Song Qi put his hands in his pockets and stood up. “I will go to City A by myself.”
“I’ll go with you,” Bai Yanxi said immediately, looking at Song Qi. “You can’t leave me behind.”
"Mm." Song Qi nodded.
The others exchanged glances.
"It's fine if you're with us, it doesn't matter."
"Yes, wasn't it said that it could be controlled?"
"Do you really have to leave?" Fan Yao looked at Song Qi, frowning.
Song Qi thought for a moment: "There has been someone following us, probably because of me."
"Why didn't you say so before?" someone asked, frowning, unaware that her tone had become more accusatory.
"I want to see what they're up to." Song Qi glanced at her, her expression indifferent. "Be careful, you can keep the car, I'll find another one."
Song Qi and the others shared some food and then found a car by the roadside.
"Should I drive?" Bai Yanxi asked Song Qi.
"Mm." Song Qi nodded.
"By the way, now that you've become a zombie, do you still need to eat?"
"I don't need to eat human food." Song Qi paused for a few seconds. "I want to eat you."
Bai Yanxi was startled and swerved the steering wheel, almost crashing into the roadside railing, but fortunately he quickly swerved back.
"What are you saying?" Bai Yanxi looked at Song Qi, his ears turning bright red.
Song Qi took a deep breath: "You smell like high-grade meat."
Bai Yanxi: ...
Bai Yanxi: So what I was thinking just now.
"If you're scared, you should go back and be with them."
"No," Bai Yanxi refused outright. "Even if you bite me, I won't leave."
Song Qi glanced at Bai Yanxi, then opened the window to let the smell in the car dissipate.
Previously, when Bai Yanxi was with other people, there were all sorts of smells, so I hadn't paid attention yet.
I've only just realized that Bai Yanxi really smells good.
She took a deep breath, turned her head to stare at Bai Yanxi's face, and then slowly moved her gaze to her neck.
Song Qi's gaze was so intense that Bai Yanxi almost drove off the road several times.
"How about I let you take a bite?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Song Qi said, resting his chin on his hand. "If I bite you and you turn into one of those ugly zombies, I'll throw you out."
Bai Yanxi's face darkened: "That's why I told you not to leave me."
Song Qi twitched the corner of his mouth: "I won't throw it away."
When they were about to enter City A, Song Qi saw that there were still people working at the highway toll station.
Many people are entering the city.
Song Qi frowned, opened the window and glanced to the side, and noticed that the person driving next to him was a zombie, the kind that had come in an armored vehicle last time.
The man noticed Song Qi's gaze and looked over as well. He paused for a moment, and Song Qi did not miss the hint of fear in his eyes.
Song Qi frowned.
Bai Yanxi was also being watched. She turned her head and saw the zombie in the car next to her, and she felt uneasy. Her mind was in a mess.
“Miss, humans aren’t welcome here,” the zombie beside him said, licking its lips. “Let me take a bite.”
Upon hearing the sound, Song Qi pulled Bai Yanxi away and looked at the driver next to her expressionlessly: "Excuse me, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
The man's expression changed drastically upon seeing Song Qi.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your rations."
Bai Yanxi felt even more confused as he looked at Song Qi.
Song Qi rolled up the car window.
"This city has the highest zombie density I've ever seen."
"An entire city overrun by zombies?"
"Yes, and they're all high-level zombies." Song Qi knocked on the car window. "They're so afraid of me, probably because I'm a bit more advanced than them."
The car moved slowly; they were next.
Song Qi noticed that the toll they paid seemed to be for a small bottle of liquid, and she frowned.
It's their turn.
When the toll collector saw Bai Yanxi, he instinctively bared his fangs, but when he saw Song Qi, he silently shut his mouth and gave him a pass.
Song Qi raised an eyebrow.
Bai Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove away from the toll station.
"My God, that scared me to death."
"Isn't it out now?" Song Qi yawned.
"So, what if they want to enter the city?" Bai Yanxi asked.
Song Qi thought for a moment: "With Fan Yao here, nothing will happen. Besides, we've already separated, so their affairs have nothing to do with us anymore."
"I don't want to go back. I just want to find the person behind this and kill him."
"You always handle things in such a simple and crude way."
"Why not be simple and brutal when you can be? Besides, in this kind of environment, who can I reason with?"
Bai Yanxi pursed his lips: "If it were a debate to determine the winner, I think you could also be number one."
"Um?"
"You can make someone furious with just one word."
Song Qi looked at Bai Yanxi, raised his hand and pinched her cheek: "I've noticed that you're getting bolder and bolder."
"Oh, go ahead and bite me." After saying that, Bai Yanxi tilted his head and touched his neck.
Song Qi took a deep breath and looked away.
After passing the tollbooth, there is another checkpoint with two lines: one for unregistered passengers and one for registered passengers.
The unregistered queues are smaller, but move very slowly, requiring passengers to get off the bus.
When Bai Yanxi stopped the car and got out, he felt countless people staring at him.
Song Qi also got out of the car and stood next to Song Qi. He glanced at the people around him, and the electric light in his hand almost blinded them before he looked away.
"Hello, Ms. Ye, we've been waiting for you for a long time." The person registering Song Qi smiled, her face still bearing the unsightly marks of a zombie.
He completely ignored Bai Yanxi standing next to her.
"You knew I could mutate?" Song Qi raised an eyebrow.
“How can you call this a mutation? This is called evolution.” The man looked at Song Qi with a smile. “We can wear short sleeves, while the old humans have to wear down jackets.”
"You are the most successful of all the evolved beings." A hint of fanaticism appeared in the man's eyes.
Song Qi lowered his eyelids and tapped the table: "So, what should I do now?"
"These are the accommodations arranged for you. You can choose from several options, including duplex villas near the city center, seaside villas, or villas in scenic areas."
"It's in the city center, I guess," Song Qi said, glancing around.
"Okay, would you like to navigate there yourself, or would you like us to arrange a driver for you?"
"Let's use navigation." Song Qi was excited when he heard that he could access the internet.
The man's eyes finally shifted to Bai Yanxi: "If Miss Ye wants to take her in, and if you're treating her like a pet, this is a special collar with your identification mark on it, which will ensure she won't be harmed when she's outside. If she's a good friend or something, I suggest you bite her."
"Okay." Song Qi nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"there is none left."
Song Qi and Bai Yanxi got back into the car.
"My God, that scared me to death! They were so nice!"
“There were many people hiding in the villa in the distance, all armed with guns. If I had resisted then, we might have been able to escape, but our fate wouldn’t have been good,” Song Qi said.
Bai Yanxi paused for a moment, then sighed, "I knew it."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Song Qi and raised an eyebrow.
"So... are you going to put that chain on me, or bite me?" Bai Yanxi asked.
She didn't care at all about the man's contempt for her; she only cared about what Song Qi would think.
“The first one is impossible, the second one…” Song Qi paused for a few seconds, “I want to see if the zombies will have any physical defects.”
Bai Yanxi understood Song Qi's meaning.
"So, you should stay in that villa for the time being and not go out," Song Qi said.
Bai Yanxi frowned, somewhat displeased, but judging from Song Qi's expression, he knew that there was probably no room for negotiation on this matter.
The place they arranged was beautiful and huge; in the normal world, it would cost over a hundred million.
The neighborhood was larger, and Song Qi saw people walking their dogs. Their skin looked similar to that of normal people, but there were still some ugly red or blue lines that resembled those of zombies spreading across their faces.
Song Qi didn't see anyone like himself along the way.
The villa was fully equipped with everything needed for daily life, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. The underground garage contained many beautiful sports cars.
Song Qi didn't look at it much; he simply destroyed all the hidden cameras or listening devices in the villa.
"Is it okay to do this?"
"It's nothing." Song Qi leaned back on the sofa. She was very curious about why they wanted to see her; it definitely wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Bai Yanxi sat down next to Song Qi, and the sofa instantly sank in.
"Why did everyone lose weight in the apocalypse, but you gained weight?" Song Qi asked, glancing at Bai Yanxi.
Bai Yanxi: ...
"Would you die if you didn't call me fat even once?!" Bai Yanxi glared at Song Qi and immediately moved far away from him.
Finally, I couldn't resist coming closer and turning on my phone to connect to Wi-Fi.
She scrolled through her WeChat Moments and saw many messages posted by people during this period.
"It's so chaotic outside, but here... what are they trying to do? Besides, there were so many people, but why did it seem like there were so few at the end?" Bai Yanxi asked.
Song Qi also opened his phone and glanced at the news: "Who knows?"
Sure enough, that man named Cao Yan had successfully risen to power, even as some kind of "great man of the century."
This Cao Yan is disgusting in both behavior and appearance. He is completely distorted and looks nothing like the portrait. Moreover, he seems to have failed to "evolve" successfully at all.
