Song Qi narrowed his eyes. This old man…
Bai Yanxi was already watching a TV series on the side. Song Qi glanced at it and could tell from the faces of the male and female leads that it had just been filmed recently.
It must be admitted that Bai Yanxi's ability to adapt to the environment is truly remarkable.
"Sigh, I used to really like Yuan Yuan, who knew she'd turn into this mess now." Bai Yanxi commented as he looked at her.
Song Qi glanced at Bai Yanxi, unsure of what to say.
She then read some other news articles.
Scrolling down, I noticed some headlines such as "Human Evolution Project a Great Success", "New Human Project Breaks Through Bottleneck", and "Another Perfect Evolved Human".
Then, the latest news item was pushed to the top.
"Perfectly evolved human".
The photo above is of myself. The angle I chose is pretty good. You can clearly see Song Qi's smooth skin, good looks, and blood-red eyes.
The comments section has exploded.
【My goodness, what a beautiful young lady!】
So cute!
"They must be from another province."
Are you planning to debut? I can accept any acting skills this young lady has.
【Girl, I'm so cute!】
...
Such as these.
Song Qi narrowed his eyes; it really did look no different from peacetime.
However, given the commotion that person caused, she couldn't possibly believe that he was acting in the best interests of all humankind's evolution.
She found that there were indeed some posts online questioning Cao Yan's claims, but they were only a minority; most people were helping Cao Yan refute them.
"Survival of the fittest."
"Necessary sacrifices are necessary; otherwise, how can we make progress?"
"It's because of people as saintly as the original poster that the progress is so slow."
"The weak simply die."
Song Qi closed the post and looked up how zombies eat, but the people here don't call themselves zombies, they still call themselves "new humans".
New humans can currently only eat raw food and drink blood. Lower-level New humans collect their food from a fixed location every day, but higher-level New humans can request others to deliver it to them.
Song Qi looked at the picture of the raw meat; it was all red.
She had a bad feeling, and Song Qi turned her head to look at Bai Yanxi.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yanxi noticed Song Qi's gaze and looked at her with some confusion.
“If I’m not around, you absolutely must not go out,” Song Qi said.
Bai Yanxi frowned: "Didn't we just say that?"
"The people here seem to eat human flesh."
Bai Yanxi's expression froze: "No way..."
Song Qi showed Bai Yanxi the picture he had just seen.
"Didn't you say it was raw meat?"
“But to me, this looks like human flesh.” Song Qi tapped the screen. “The article also emphasized that only advanced new humans can eat this kind of meat.”
Bai Yanxi frowned: "Why don't you bite me?"
"Not now." Song Qi refused, then lowered her head again to check other things.
For example, regarding those humans who did not turn into zombies.
The information found indicates that they are now all living together in one place, supposedly to protect them, because some of the new humans are unable to control themselves, and also to help them smoothly transition into the new human form.
Song Qi stared at the old human settlement area and found that the houses really looked like concentration camps from World War II.
The doorbell interrupted Song Qi's thoughts.
Song Qi opened the door, where several men in suits stood.
She noticed that the people who entered the room looked somewhat bewildered.
"Is there something you need?" Song Qi asked expressionlessly, blocking their view of Bai Yanxi.
"Ms. Ye, we're here to deliver some things to you. This is your dinner for tonight, this is your bank card, one million will be deposited into your card every month, and this is your ID, which you can use to enter various high-end venues."
Song Qi glanced around and looked at the box containing the meat.
Why are you being so nice to me?
"Because you are the most fully evolved new human being discovered so far." A hint of fanaticism appeared on the man's face.
"That's why."
The man paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"His Majesty will receive you tomorrow."
"What did you say?" Song Qi was stunned for a moment, looking at the man.
The man looked at Song Qi with a puzzled expression, unsure of what she was surprised about.
"Fine." Song Qi frowned, glanced back at Bai Yanxi, and said with a hint of arrogance, "Is there any way, besides using a dog leash and biting her, to let others know she's mine?"
The man glanced at Bai Yanxi: "Miss Ye, why go to all this trouble?"
"I don't want to bite her, to make her my equal, nor do I want to hold her hand and tire my hand out." Song Qi said with an arrogant expression.
"I'll go back and ask for you."
"Hmm." Song Qi nodded reluctantly.
After seeing the group off, Song Qi's face instantly darkened.
Your Majesty?
Are the people here out of their minds? There are idiots preparing to commit suicide here, and they're still praising him online? This is more than just simple brainwashing.
And this social status clearly reflects hierarchy.
Song Qi kicked the box on the ground.
Inside, there was a section of thigh that was clearly visible.
It looks like it was just chopped off.
The stench of blood filled the air, and Song Qi raised his hand, instantly turning it to ashes.
"What's going on? This is really..."
"Hmm." Song Qi nodded, then picked up the other items, looked them over, and put them away.
That identity ID contains location information.
Bai Yanxi finally became serious: "Wouldn't we be considered as having walked into a wolf's den?"
"More or less." Song Qi tapped the table, pondering the possibility that he might see Cao Yan kill him directly.
On the other side.
Fan Yao and his group are also trying to find a way in.
"They're all talking zombies."
"Ye Xiruan and the others have already gone inside."
"Do you think...maybe she already knew that humans couldn't just go in here, so she left me here? She could have easily taken us in and then separated us," one of the girls said.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xi frowned and glared at her.
The girl rolled her eyes: "You still have the nerve to wait for me? If you still believed her back then, why didn't you just follow her and learn from Bai Yanxi? What are you pretending for now?"
Fan Yao frowned.
Since Song Qi left, although no one has said anything, things have started to get chaotic. While no one has any doubts, under these circumstances, everyone is bound to have their own thoughts.
“Ye Xiruan is not that kind of person,” Fan Yao said, then emphasized again, “She is not that kind of person.”
The girl smirked: "The person we asked just now made it clear that the higher the level of the zombie, the better the treatment. Ye Xiruan is currently the highest level zombie there, and she's being treated like royalty. How do you know she won't betray us?"
"If you ask me, she definitely knew a long time ago."
Chen Xi wanted to retort.
Fan Yao kicked the girl off the car: "If she were that kind of person, she would have killed us all. We wouldn't be a match for her even if we all joined forces. I'm warning you, don't try to undermine people's morale here. I believe she's still on our side."
"You actually laid a hand on a girl!"
"Ha, there's no such thing as men and women in this situation. Ye Xiruan already said that." Fan Yao looked at her coldly. "Since we can't get in from this side, we'll have to forge our own path."
"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the road is not easy to travel."
"It's alright." Fan Yao put away the map. "No matter how difficult it is, we have to go in. There are obviously many secrets here."
The group exchanged glances but remained silent.
"If you want to leave now, you can leave now." Fan Yao finished speaking, got into the car, and glanced at the group of people with different expressions. "Do you think that now that Ye Xiruan is gone, you can take over? Then hurry back."
Chen Xi got into Fan Yao's car, and Qu Nannan climbed in as well.
"I don't believe Ruan Ruan would betray us. I'm going to go see her."
Ultimately, all seventeen people chose to go back.
They turned around and found a place to park at the foot of the mountain.
After Song Qi and Shu Wangyue finished their meal, they decided to go for a stroll in the streets together.
She picked a super eye-catching fluorescent sports car.
I saw her car outside and opened the gate from a distance.
Once on the street, Song Qi was the most eye-catching person. She noticed that others would intentionally or unintentionally make way for her. She was a little surprised and knew in her heart that it was probably because of "class".
Song Qi randomly picked a shopping mall. The mall was no different from before, but the signs for dishes at the entrance had been replaced with pictures of various raw meats.
She pulled Bai Yanxi and walked into the mall.
He noticed that many people around him had stopped and were looking in his direction.
"This is Ye Xiruan?"
"Wow, it looks so good! I thought it was photoshopped."
"When will I be able to evolve to her level?"
Some people around also took out their phones, wanting to take pictures.
Song Qi frowned: "Don't take pictures of me."
Her tone was very unpleasant, and Song Qi thought someone would express their dissatisfaction. However, after she finished speaking, everyone obediently put down their phones and silently took two steps back while watching Song Qi.
Something strange was about it.
Song Qi walked around the mall and saw some very young children whose bluish-black skin looked even more frightening.
Bai Yanxi followed Song Qi closely. She could feel someone staring at her with the kind of look that was like eyeing food, a terrifying look.
If Song Qi weren't here, she probably would have already turned around and run away.
Song Qi turned around and grabbed Bai Yanxi's hand, coldly scanning the surroundings. Bai Yanxi instantly felt that fewer eyes were on him.
On the top floor of the mall, two people sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window: "Is this Ye Xiruan?"
"Um."
"This is the focus of our experiment."
"Can you successfully subdue her? I heard she's very capable."
"Take your time, there's no rush. There's always a way to make her willingly give herself to you. What can a woman possibly accomplish?" The speaker's tone was tinged with contempt.
Song Qi stopped and looked up at a certain spot. He then raised his hand and shattered the glass there.
The sound was very loud.
The force of the attack knocked the two people inside over.
The glass fell, startling people nearby.
"I told you, I don't like people staring at me," Song Qi's voice drifted over. "Why don't you two listen?"
The two people who had fallen to the ground looked at each other.
One of them laughed.
"What an interesting person, isn't he?"
"What's so interesting? If she had gone any further, we would have been dead!"
"But we're still alive, aren't we?" The man grinned, his smile somewhat terrifying and eerie.
