Everything that Song Qi could see, System NZ could also see, and fell silent.
"Host, calm down."
"I'm very calm." Song Qi clenched his fist and took a deep breath.
She can only control a hundred or so ordinary zombies at most right now, and she doesn't know how many advanced zombies she can control.
She was isolated and helpless here, and even the people in City C didn't know if she could use it.
Here, walking on the street, those people seem to respect me, but in reality, they are all puppets of Cao Yan.
How can we break this deadlock?
Song Qi looked at his hand, raised it, and blasted the chair in front of him apart.
She considered the possibility that her current electric powers could directly blow up the entire city.
Song Qi looked at the rolling electric light in his hand.
The next morning at nine o'clock, someone came to pick up Song Qi and take her to see Cao Yan.
Seeing Bai Yanxi's changed appearance, I was both surprised and envious.
They took a helicopter directly.
"That's really extravagant." Song Qi glanced at it and a hint of delight appeared on his face.
"Miss Ye is a distinguished guest."
Song Qi nodded with great satisfaction and led Bai Yanxi onto the helicopter.
——
"What exactly is going on here?" Chen Xi asked in a low voice.
Fan Yao stared ahead: "There's something over there."
Everyone looked up and, upon closer inspection, could indeed see many buildings emerging from the woods.
They quickly approached, found a spot to crawl over, and looked down.
What is this?
Fan Yao stared down at the scene below. It was a small mountain town, not very big, and unlike the mountain villages in documentaries.
This is a steel city.
He could clearly see the scene below, and he saw many people chained up.
Fan Yao gritted his teeth.
"Who are you people?"
"Ha, they're just a bunch of inferior humans. They weren't arrested, and they actually delivered themselves to our doorstep."
Fan Yao raised his hand, and an ice spike descended from the sky.
The speaker sneered, "So you're a superhuman after all. Arrest him; this is all top-quality meat."
Fan Yao stared wide-eyed, wanting to continue, but was horrified to discover that his supernatural ability was no longer working.
The helicopter had already entered the mountains and finally came to a steady stop on an open ground.
Those who came out for some fresh air were sent back; the area was cleared out in an instant.
Song Qi stepped off the helicopter, looked around, and raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that she would be brought to this place the very next day.
However, she wasn't particularly excited.
If they dared to bring me along, they're not afraid of me causing trouble.
"Ye Xiruan!"
Song Qi paused upon hearing the familiar voice and turned around to look.
Unexpectedly, it was an old acquaintance.
Song Qi looked at them with a blank expression, noticing the number of them and knowing that most of them had probably gone back.
"You actually betrayed us!" a girl yelled at Song Qi.
Chen Xi pursed her lips and looked at Song Qi without saying a word.
"You actually turned Bai Yanxi into a zombie! You have no shame!"
"What are you saying? It's an honor for Miss Ye to be willing to turn her into a new human." One person kicked the girl who spoke to the ground.
Fan Yao stared at Song Qi without saying anything, just looking at him.
“I want these people,” Song Qi said, his smile and blood-red eyes giving him a bewitching look.
"But……"
"What, I can't even have a few people go back to be my slaves?" Song Qi raised his chin slightly. "Is this how you treat your VIPs?"
"Pah! Who wants to be your slave? You shameless thing!" the girl continued to curse.
Song Qi ignored her: "What, do you still think I have ulterior motives? I'm eating well and living well now, and people bow and scrape to me when I walk down the street. Why would I help them?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just that it's a bit against the rules."
"How is it against the rules?" Song Qi narrowed his eyes.
"Ye Xiruan! You bitch!"
Song Qi raised his hand and blew off one of the girl's arms.
The girl's screams echoed throughout the valley.
Everyone stared at Song Qi in disbelief, clearly not expecting her to actually do it.
"It's so noisy, cover her mouth." Song Qi fiddled with her fingers, her chin slightly raised. "Do you think I'm some lowly human that you can insult?"
"Miss Ye."
Song Qi turned around and saw Cao Yan walking over with several people. He glanced at the few people who were still trapped and smiled: "Since Miss Ye wants it, then give it to her. They are just a few old humans, and old humans with serious crimes at that."
"Mr. Cao."
“Miss Ye arrived yesterday, but unfortunately I had something to attend to and was unable to greet her. I originally intended to pay her a visit today, but in the end I decided to meet here instead,” Cao Yan said with a smile, “to show my sincerity to Miss Ye.”
"Miss Ye, welcome to the new country."
Cao Yan smiled very kindly and spoke in a gentle voice.
But all of these things combined on his face resulted in something that was either disgusting or bizarre.
"Thank you." Song Qi was also very satisfied. "I wonder what Mr. Cao wants to show us."
"Follow me." Cao Yan led the way, and Song Qi followed. As for the few people he had wanted earlier, he didn't bother to ask about them.
“Ruan Ruan, she really…” Qu Nannan stared at Song Qi’s back, “I still don’t believe it.”
Fan Yao didn't speak, he just frowned.
Now is definitely not the time to discuss anything.
Chen Xi chuckled coldly twice: "And I trusted her so much."
"You're lucky to be able to follow Miss Ye. Be content." The person behind them kicked them twice.
Song Qi followed Cao Yan into the largest high-rise building.
This high-rise building has about twenty-six floors.
Cao Yan led Song Qi through the building, examining each floor one by one.
"This is our genetic research department, and we are currently trying to find ways to enable humans to have the best genes."
Song Qi looked at the busy people inside; there were both zombies and humans.
"Are there any defects in our current genes?" Song Qi asked.
"Nothing has been found yet."
"Being able to eat raw meat isn't a flaw?" Song Qi glanced at Cao Yan.
Cao Yan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely overcome this problem. After all, we still need to satisfy our appetites."
"Will we die?" Song Qi asked.
"Lifespan will be twice that of the old humans."
Song Qi nodded: "Why am I always so uncontrollably irritable since I became a new human?"
“Something unexpected happened.” Cao Yan sighed, looking somewhat saddened. “Miss Ye must have seen the terrible scene outside.”
"Yes."
“I originally wanted humanity to evolve peacefully, but some unexpected things happened. There was a traitor in our research team who added something else to it.” Cao Yan looked somewhat dejected. “It’s all my fault.”
Seeing his excellent acting skills, Song Qi also began to cooperate with his performance: "Mr. Cao has done very well, there is no need to blame yourself."
"Don't try to comfort me," Cao Yan sighed. "I originally wanted to atone with my death, but I just can't stop worrying about the research here."
“How can Mr. Cao die? The situation is already chaotic. If Mr. Cao dies, people’s morale will collapse.”
Cao Yan glanced at Song Qi, wondering if Song Qi was acting.
Although according to the information relayed back by others, Song Qi was just a person who only knew how to fight and kill, he still didn't quite believe it.
"What's wrong, Mr. Cao?"
"It's like this, Miss Ye, I have a favor to ask. Could you please accompany our researchers on a province-wide inspection?" Cao Yan looked somewhat embarrassed.
Song Qi frowned: "Why? I feel fine now, I don't need a full body checkup."
“Because you are the best-evolved new human being right now, and we still have many problems to overcome, we hope Miss Ye can help us.” Song Qi looked at Cao Yan.
Bai Yanxi stood to one side, very nervous, but dared not say anything.
"What kind of tests are needed?" Song Qi asked.
"It's just a routine check-up."
Song Qi looked at Cao Yan, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Mr. Cao, your behavior is making me a little scared."
"What's wrong, Miss Ye?"
"You've only been here two days and you're already asking me to come and have my blood drawn... You're making me wonder if you want to make me your research subject." Song Qi took a step back.
Cao Yan paused for a moment and looked at Song Qi: "Miss Ye, you're overthinking it."
"In that case, if you're going to draw a vial of my blood, could you also ask Mr. Cao to give me a vial of blood? After all, I have no relatives or friends here and I'm quite scared." Song Qi said, smiling, looking like he was trying to be clever.
It was very subtle, but Cao Yan figured it out.
“Alright.” Cao Yan nodded. “If this will put Miss Ye’s mind at ease, then of course it will.”
Cao Yan's smile remained unchanged: "I thought he was clever, but who knew he was really a fool, still trying to be clever."
Song Qi successfully obtained two vials of blood from Cao Yan.
After the tour, Song Qi declined the invitation to have dinner together and wanted to go back. Before leaving, she didn't forget to electrolyze her blood and control the people in the monitoring room and laboratory to switch her blood.
She really wanted to try to control Cao Yan directly.
But I always feel that the big boss is not so easy to control.
Song Qi boarded the helicopter, and several more people joined the helicopter, all wearing dog leashes around their necks.
Everyone looked at themselves with a complex mix of emotions, a mixture of curiosity and hatred.
Song Qi ignored them and stared at the small bottle in her hand.
Bai Yanxi looked at Song Qi's face, wanting to say a lot, but there were other people in the helicopter.
They quickly returned to Song Qi's residence. In front of everyone, Song Qi dragged more than a dozen people off the plane. She didn't even care when someone fell down, and simply dragged them into the villa.
Then those outside saw a flash of lightning inside, accompanied by screams.
After the person left, Song Qi let go of his hand.
"Are you alright? Why did you actually draw his blood? What if something happened?" Bai Yanxi grabbed Song Qi's arm.
"Don't I have one too?" Song Qi waved the object in his hand. "Don't worry."
Bai Yanxi frowned.
"What exactly happened to Ye Xiruan?" Fan Yao asked.
Song Qi glanced at Fan Yao: "It's simple. I'm trapped here. The new humans here are zombies, all of them are Cao Yan's brainless fans. Do you have any other questions?"
"You didn't betray us?"
Song Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the person who asked the question: "They clearly have ill intentions towards me. Am I out of my mind?"
She held the two bottles of blood in her hand: "It seems I still need to go back and have them study this stuff."
"Why can't you just kill Cao Yan directly?"
"You think your big boss can just kill anyone he wants? Why didn't you just charge in? A dozen of you couldn't even beat a few guards, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?" Song Qi sneered. "I've already done more than enough by bringing you out. You parted ways with me on the way here, so take note."
The expressions on the faces of the people were not good.
The man with the severed arm stared at Song Qi without saying a word.
“Some people have already gone back. They probably already know you’re a zombie,” Fan Yao said. “It won’t be easy for you to go back and regain leadership.”
Bai Yanxi rested his chin on his hand: "We can turn them all into zombies."
Bai Yanxi hadn't spoken until now, and no one else had noticed her. But as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone looked at her.
"Why did you turn into a zombie?" Chen Xi asked.
“Because they eat people here, Ruan Ruan bit me to make it easier for me to escape.” Bai Yanxi sighed. “To be honest, I don’t think becoming a zombie is so bad. It’s just that I have a mark on my face, but my whole body seems to be full of power. I don’t need to sleep or eat anything.”
The others exchanged glances.
"When humans go out, they either need to wear a dog leash around their necks or have zombies protecting them, otherwise there is a high chance they will be torn to pieces by zombies."
Bai Yanxi frowned: "But I don't want to bite you softly."
"I don't want to end up like you, neither human nor ghost." Someone rolled their eyes at Bai Yanxi.
"Then don't change. Nobody's asking you for anything. They're just trying to protect you. Don't act like you're some big shot." Bai Yanxi scoffed.
The man's face stiffened.
"Ye Xiruan, do you know that there were many innocent humans in the place you just went to?" Fan Yao said, staring at Ye Xiruan.
"I know, but what can I do?" Song Qi looked at Fan Yao. "You can't do anything either, can you?"
Everyone fell silent again.
“There’s no rush now. Let me find that old man’s weakness first.” Song Qi tapped the table, opened a small bottle, smelled it, frowned, and immediately capped it.
"What's wrong?"
“Blood stinks, the stench of a corpse.” Song Qi moved his hand away and placed it near Bai Yanxi’s nose.
"Your blood smells sweet."
