People outside were whispering to each other, and people in the castle's meeting room were also whispering to each other.
"Why hasn't she come yet?"
"You really won't kill us?"
"Don't worry, it's live. Besides, the independence of each country is inevitable, and it can't be solved by killing one or two people."
"Su Baizhi probably wouldn't do that."
"But that princess syndrome of hers...are you sure she would consider all this? She wouldn't kill us if we disagreed?"
“…Fuck, I’m not sure.”
…
Just when they were waiting with great confidence at the beginning, they are now becoming a little impatient.
There was finally movement outside the door.
"It smells so good!" Someone suddenly sniffed and couldn't help but say.
The others nodded immediately.
Yes, it does smell nice, like a flower...
While these people were thinking about this, the walls of the room were suddenly covered with colorful flowers, which were dazzlingly beautiful and the fragrance became more and more intense.
The familiar scene of flowers blooming instantly reminded them of—
Su Baizhi, here she comes.
With such a grand display, only that princess must be sick!!
The decoration inside the castle is also very stylish. For example, the conference room they are in now is decorated with a forest. The surrounding walls were originally covered with green vines and an ancient tree decoration. Now there are flowers blooming everywhere, which does not look out of place at all.
The sight of countless flowers blooming before your eyes is always breathtaking, no matter how many times you see it.
"Snap!" Followed by a soft sound.
A spotlight was lit in front of the vine flower wall at the head of the conference table where they were sitting.
They looked at the spotlight and couldn't help squinting.
The Zombie King appeared silently next to the vine flower wall.
——He is already at level six!
The higher the level, the harder it is to advance. It took five years for someone to break through to level five, but he was already at level six.
However, at this moment, these people did not pay attention to the Zombie King.
They stared with wide eyes, shocked to see countless colorful butterflies flying in from outside and spinning in the spotlight. Each of these butterflies was so breathtakingly beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
The flapping wings are like a dancing girl.
When they came in, it was like colorful streams of light flowing in from the door. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the fluttering of butterflies' wings and the slight swaying of flowers.
The butterflies spun and circled in spirals under the spotlight, dazzling and breathtaking.
They flew together, gathered together, and then turned into streams of light and disappeared.
In their place, they were replaced by Su Baizhi, who was wearing a white windbreaker, a hat, white gloves, and holding a folding fan!
"Your Highness Baizhi!" someone exclaimed.
The butterfly turned into Su Baizhi? !
As stunning as those glittering butterflies were just now, Su Baizhi's appearance now was just as shocking.
At this moment, people around the world watching the live broadcast——
Zombie: "Wow!! Your Highness Baizhi is awesome!!"
Ordinary people: “That’s really cool.”
The psychic: "...Isn't this princess syndrome a terminal illness?"
Sorry, they really underestimated her!!
The little princess is always late but never absent!
In the conference room.
Everyone held their breath, not blinking.
To their shock, the spotlight went out, the Zombie King pulled out a chair, and Bai Zhi slowly sat down.
She placed her folding fan on the base of her other hand and smiled slightly, "I've awakened a special ability for myself. Sorry for the joke."
Everyone: “…”
They were still filled with shock, their hearts pounding.
This appearance is so shocking!!
Someone heard her words and gasped, then subconsciously asked, "Your Highness Baizhi, what other superpowers can you choose to awaken?!"
This kind of fancy, apparently useless ability, a princess-like ability, would probably be difficult to awaken naturally! !
Bai Zhi nodded dignifiedly: "Yes, I can."
"That--"
Bai Zhi interrupted him: "You can't, only I can."
Everyone: “…” How fucking infuriating!
Bai Zhi tapped her folding fan lightly against her other hand, clearly showing that her patience was running out. She said calmly, "Are you here to discuss independence?"
People from these major states looked at each other in confusion.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Her eyes became even colder.
Finally, a state leader who was a powerful country before the end of the world said—
"Yes, Your Highness Baizhi, we want independence, and we will maintain friendly relations with Country Z in the future. You saved us, so if you have any needs in the future, please feel free to ask, and we will do our best to fulfill them for you, but we must be independent."
Bai Zhi nodded: "Okay."
"Your Highness Baizhi, don't refuse directly. If you have any other conditions... Wait, Your Highness Baizhi! What did you say?!" The man was incredulous.
Everyone else stared at Bai Zhi with wide eyes, looking at her in shock, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Including people all over the world who are watching the live broadcast.
She agreed? ?
——So simple?
Someone in the conference room swallowed and asked tentatively, "You really don't have any other requests?"
Bai Zhi continued to tap her folding fan against her palm, shook her head, and said calmly: "Of course not, if you want independence, then go ahead. We will have no relationship from now on."
Everyone: “!!!”
They couldn't believe this great news!
Before coming, they speculated that Su Baizhi might attack them out of anger, guessed what demands she would make, and guessed how she would threaten them with the evolutionary fluid...
But no one expected that she would agree directly? !
This is so unexpected.
But undoubtedly, this is great news!
In an instant, all the state leaders in the conference room smiled brightly.
"Your Highness Baizhi, don't worry. We will do our best to fulfill our promise. If you have any requests in the future, you can tell us!"
"Yes, I didn't expect His Highness Bai Zhi to be so reasonable."
"Hahaha, I thought Your Highness would not agree."
"Your Highness Baizhi has done us great service. Without you, the apocalypse would not have ended so quickly, and our loved ones would not have been able to return to us!"
"Yes, we will always maintain friendly relations with Country Z!"
…
They were so excited that they seemed to be holding a red heart to Baizhi.
But what will be done in the future cannot be guaranteed to be useful now.
The people from Country Z who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help but curl their lips——
"Bah, that's nonsense. Just wait and see. If these people dare to demand independence, they will definitely turn against us in the future."
"They have no humanity at all. They take advantage of any benefit and leave if there is no benefit."
"Your Highness Bai Zhi agreed too easily! These people will definitely never be satisfied."
"That's right. Even if they want independence, they have to offer some benefits!"
"It would be best if we could overturn their plans!"
"Unfortunately, His Highness Bai Zhi has already agreed..."
…
Listening to their expressions of loyalty, Bai Zhi raised her hand, and the folding fan she was holding was picked up and pointed at them.
Bai Zhi said calmly, "But... since you're independent now, you're no longer under my control, so I won't be responsible for you anymore."
"Of course!" The responsible persons immediately agreed, "Your Highness Baizhi doesn't need to be in charge anymore. We can manage it ourselves!"
They want to have their own country and want to be in power, so how could they let her be in charge?
Even if she wants to control them, I can't agree!
They were extremely happy when she said that.
Bai Zhi nodded.
She retracted her folding fan and gently placed it against her thumb. She spoke calmly, "Over the years, we've made a lot of progress in our research on zombies and people with special abilities. After awakening special abilities, as the level of the ability increases, lifespan increases."
No one knew why she suddenly brought up these things. Out of respect, everyone present suppressed their excitement and listened attentively, but joy danced between their brows and they were obviously a little absent-minded.
Bai Zhi didn't care and continued, "The average lifespan of a psychic is probably between 100 and 120 years. At the third level, they can live for 150 years, and at the fifth level, they can live for around 200 years. It's very difficult to advance above the fifth level. I'm afraid only a few can reach the sixth level and live for over 200 years."
Everyone was slightly surprised. They knew about the previous stage, but they didn’t know that after the fifth stage, the lifespan could reach over two hundred years!
Bai Zhi: "Some people think that zombies don't need to eat or drink, don't need to age, and don't need to die. So in recent years, many people have been particularly eager to become zombies..."
Many people present nodded.
They are also very troubled by this phenomenon. Although zombies are no different from humans, they are deprived of many things. Just the reproduction issue makes those in charge strictly prohibit ordinary people from becoming zombies.
Bai Zhi looked at the camera, her eyes sharp under the brim of her hat——
"Now, I have confirmed that zombies and mutants have the same lifespan. The number of zombie levels corresponds to the number of lifespans. When a zombie reaches the end of its lifespan, it will die immediately! So, whether it's a human or a zombie, it's impossible to be immortal."
Many people who were watching the live broadcast were stunned.
There are indeed many comments now saying that there are benefits to becoming a zombie, that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.
But many people still don't want to become zombies. After becoming a zombie, it will be difficult to eat and drink, and they will no longer be able to enjoy delicious food. There will also be some unpleasant changes in their appearance, and they will not be able to have children.
So most people don't want to become zombies.
But the theory that zombies are immortal is still quite misleading.
Listening to Bai Zhi's words at this moment, if zombies are also going to die and their lifespan is the same as that of people with special abilities, then there is no point in becoming zombies!
In the conference room, those responsible became even more excited after hearing these words.
"Yes, it's better to be a mutant."
"Yeah, why would you want to become a zombie? I wonder how many zombies want to become humans now."
"Your Highness Baizhi, it's great that you were able to research the lifespan of zombies!"
“No more worrying about those people going astray!”
"Recently, many people in our country have been clamoring to become zombies and promoting immortality. Now it seems that they are all the same!"
…
Okay, now let’s start talking about “our country”.
One Y countryman even shouted, "After all the zombies die of natural causes, zombies, scientifically known as Y variants, will completely disappear from the stage of history!"
He is the head of their state. After their country Y becomes independent, the first priority will be the population issue.
Of course he doesn't like people turning into zombies!
Every time someone turns into a zombie, there is one less person with reproductive ability.
The human population is really too small now. The non-zombie population in the world is only 10% of what it was before the apocalypse!
However, after he finished speaking, Bai Zhi shook the folding fan.
Everyone was stunned.
Um?
Bai Zhi: "Let me correct you on one point. Under the current conditions, zombies will never disappear from history."
"Ah?" The man was dumbfounded.
Bai Zhi looked at him and suddenly raised her hand and waved gently.
The Zombie King took out an open computer and placed it on the table, with the screen facing them and a video playing in a loop.
It was an ordinary five-year-old child who was playing, but while playing, he suddenly developed a high fever, and then slowly grew nails and fangs, his skin turned pale, and he became full of aggressiveness.
Fortunately, a zombie passed by and immediately calmed him down.
The video continues, and it also shows a child about five years old, who also has a fever. As he gets sicker, he turns into a zombie!
Bai Zhi: "I've discovered a problem. Children born in the apocalypse, whether they are children of superpowers or ordinary people, are just ordinary people. But that doesn't mean they can't awaken. They awaken at the age of five or above, and the earliest awakener was five years old."
This year is the fifth year of the apocalypse. Among the children born in the apocalypse, the oldest is only five years old this year, the earliest age to awaken.
She paused, then continued, "The chances of awakening children becoming mutants or zombies are 50/50. I've tried letting children awaken in a space with only X-substance, but it's still 50/50."
Everyone: “!!!”
In other words…
Even if all the zombies of this generation die, the zombie species will still not disappear from the stage of history?!
"Haven't they been vaccinated?" someone asked anxiously.
Bai Zhi spread her hands and said, "Yes, they have been vaccinated, but this is not an infection, this is a natural awakening. They naturally awakened and became Y variants."
Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly.
Everyone in the world looked unhappy, which meant...
Are their children likely to turn into zombies?
Those who have children who are about to turn five at home can't help but hold the children in their arms, their faces full of worry.
In the conference room.
After a long while, a calm F countryman finally took a deep breath and said, "Then let's continue living our current way. We've already adapted to a world where people with special abilities, ordinary people, and zombies coexist."
The others sighed and nodded slowly.
Apart from this, they had no other choice.
At this moment, Bai Zhi suddenly said, "I haven't finished speaking yet, what are you worried about?"
She raised her eyebrows, opened the folding fan in her hand, and gently fanned it, raising her chin slightly, confident and proud.
"Although it's sudden, it's not difficult for me. I've already taken samples, and the new awakening potion will be produced soon. Every child will be tested when they are about to turn five, and the awakening time will be determined. On the day of awakening, using the awakening potion will ensure that the child awakens as a mutant, not a zombie."
Everyone: “!!!”
Why didn’t you say so earlier?
Why was it rendered so horribly before?!
They took a deep breath, suppressed their emotions, forced a smile, and said flatteringly—
"Your Highness Baizhi, you are indeed amazing!"
"You're here, there's really no need to worry."
"Yes, I was scared to death just now. You are definitely the benefactor of everyone in the world!"
"I don't know how to exchange for awakening potions?"
"Your Highness Baizhi, world history will remember your achievements!"
…
Bai Zhi snapped her folding fan shut, her face gloomy.
"Like I said, I'm only responsible for what's under my jurisdiction. Of course, the awakening potion is only given to people from Country Z. As for you... go research it on your own."
Everyone: “???”
The meeting is adjourned.
People from various states came with great vigor and enthusiasm to demand independence, but they left in disgrace with their tails between their legs.
independent?
Haha, the awakening potion is in her hands. As long as there are newborns, we must listen to her arrangements!
Not willing?
Then it depends on whether the people in your country are willing or not!
The people watching the live broadcast went from "shock" at the beginning, to "fear", then to "surprise", and finally "silence"...
My mood fluctuated as the meeting progressed.
The little princess is indeed a little princess!
The people of country Z are happy——
"Hahaha! Fighting for independence from our little princess? Now? Try jumping around a few more times?"
"I was saying that with the little princess's temper, how could she possibly let them leave or come whenever they wanted?"
"Luckily, there's the awakening potion, otherwise I don't know what to do with my future children!"
"Haha, I'm laughing like crazy."
"Want independence? Dream on!
…
Someone summarized——
"In front of our princess, let alone wanting to be independent, even if we, the superpowers, want to break free from her control? We'll have to wait until our next life!"
Are these people with special abilities who think they are so awesome?
Sorry, good work.
Those who need to dig the earth are digging the earth, those who need to generate electricity are generating electricity, and those who need to deliver packages are delivering packages...
Who made them unable to get rid of her even though they disliked her?
Want to cause trouble with Her Highness Baizhi?
Maybe in the next life :)!
In today's world, as long as you live well, you can always live a good life, especially for those with special abilities.
Points can be exchanged for everything: food, housing, vaccines, space, evolution fluid...
Anyone who can move can live a good life.
However, except Long Che.
After communications were restored, the apocalypse was considered over. Although it was still called the apocalypse for a few years, it was no longer considered living in the apocalypse.
As a result, some industries emerged again.
——For example, entertainment.
There are countless people who are curious about their Princess Baizhi.
As a result, the life experience of Su Baizhi, who suffers from princess syndrome, was reported in various ways. Of course, no one would say that Su Baizhi was wrong, but the media dared to criticize other people.
Both Long Che and Su Xiao were among those criticized.
Fortunately, they haven't done anything yet, or haven't had time to do anything, so they haven't been hacked to the point of having no way to survive. But most people still don't want to work with them.
Before Long Che had paid back all his points, he worked in the castle for several years.
He often got violent due to his bad temper, which resulted in his points being negative. It took him more than three years to finally pay off the debt.
After leaving the castle with hope, his life didn't get any better.
——He was targeted.
Do you remember when zombies surrounded the southern base?
In order to save his own life, Long Che injured the flying mutant, and then let him attract other zombies while he secretly escaped.
That flying mutant turned into a zombie and has been doing quite well over the past three years, almost squeezing Long Che to the point where he has difficulty living.
Long Che was not afraid before, but three years have passed, he is paying off his debts, and the flying ability user is now at the third level and can suppress him.
There were also Zhang Qiang and some early members of the Thunderstorm team who turned into zombies because of Long Che.
They don't dare to seek revenge, but they can cause trouble.
Therefore, in such a hopeful world, Long Che could only find a job that paid points a day and struggled to make a living.
It was their fault in the beginning that he could only find such a job.
Later, almost all the people with special abilities were promoted, but he was still standing still and could no longer find a good job!
Not to mention Su Xiao, her legs have never received good treatment, she has problems walking, and can only do some handicrafts, and at best she can only earn one point a day.
The two of them live such a difficult life in such a hopeful world.
Su Xiao, who originally thought that she had her own space and didn't care about superpowers, now cares a lot!
For this reason, the forty-year-old Su Xiao stole Long Che's evolution liquid.
They had saved up money for many, many years to buy this. Long Che took a shower and was ready to use it, but Su Xiao was possessed by a ghost and ran away with the evolution liquid.
She also wants to awaken her superpowers!
She doesn't want to be ordinary!
Su Xiao limped and drank the evolution liquid while running.
However--
Ten minutes, twenty minutes.
She didn't have any of the reactions that should have occurred after using the evolution liquid!
An hour later, Su Xiao finally discovered painfully that the evolution liquid could not awaken her superpowers.
“Ahhhh——” she wailed in pain.
Not far away, Long Che's face was gloomy and he said, "You stole my evolutionary fluid? Where's the evolutionary fluid?!"
He is already in his forties and has had a miserable life over the years. Although the lifespan of people with special abilities has increased, he has become gloomy, depressed, and irritable. He no longer has the handsomeness and vigor of his former years.
He picked up the bottle of evolutionary fluid, but found it was just an empty bottle...
"Ahhh!! Bitch!" Long Che was furious and grabbed her neck, squeezing her hard.
Feeling death approaching, Su Xiao's face was filled with horror.
Why did it turn out like this?
Why is it that she lives a worse life in the apocalypse than before the apocalypse, while Su Baizhi can still be her little princess in the apocalypse, making everyone praise her even if they are dissatisfied with her and dare not resist?
Why? !
She really hated Su Baizhi, but unfortunately, she had no way to deal with her!
The moment her eyes fell into darkness, Su Xiao looked at her empty wrist and suddenly thought of many things.
She had gone to Su Jianye before, she wanted the evolution liquid, but when Su Jianye said he didn't have it and accused her of all the wrong things after the apocalypse...
She was furious and cursed the three of them to die a miserable death.
Su Jianye was completely disappointed in her at that time. She still remembers his disappointed eyes.
In fact, compared to after the apocalypse, she was already very happy before the apocalypse.
How many people have lived in poverty all their lives, but she was born with many things. Su Jianye favors Su Baizhi, but he also gives her a share of everything Su Baizhi has...
When she became an adult and moved out, she also moved into a large flat in the city center that Su Jianye gave her.
——At that time, she actually lived a life that everyone envied.
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and Su Xiao suddenly wanted to go back to the time before the end of the world.
She must live her own life well and make herself happy, instead of being jealous or taking revenge on others...
Undoubtedly, Su Baizhi, who suffers from princess syndrome, is the savior.
But many people expressed from the bottom of their hearts: I respect her very much, but I also really hate her! !
Psychics earn points very quickly, especially some high-level psychics, who can sometimes earn several points a day.
But you need to spend points on food, clothing, housing, transportation, and buying a space.
The evolution liquid, in particular, accounts for the bulk of the expenses.
Many people want to reach a higher level and have a longer lifespan, but cultivation is almost impossible, so they can only rely on the evolution liquid created by Su Baizhi.
The higher the level of the evolution fluid, the more expensive it is!
Even high-level psychics can only redeem their rewards by earning points and working very hard.
If you use it but can't advance...
Oh no, I'll have to work hard for several more years.
The era they imagined as the most powerful and influential, the era they imagined as great heroes, the era they imagined as the era of supernatural novels, were all fucking buried—in Su Baizhi's infrastructure era!
How can they not hate?!
Someone whispered that the only way to escape this kind of life was for Su Baizhi to die.
Is this something we can expect?
Those states that wanted independence were also a country before the end of the world. Don’t they want independence? Don’t they hope for Su Baizhi’s death?
I'm looking forward to it, but such an awesome person must have a way to make himself live forever!
However--
When Su Baizhi was a hundred years old, the Castle Zombie Knight suddenly released news—
[His Highness Baizhi is about to pass away.]
Everyone: “!!!”
Ecstasy!!
No, they have to hold it in!!
——"Wuwuwu, Your Highness Baizhi!! How could you die? We can't bear to let you go!!!"
——"You are the savior, you can't die!"
——"Woo woo, Your Highness Baizhi!!"
Then, the live broadcast link of the castle was received on all platforms around the world.
Open it and take a look.
The familiar castle appeared before his eyes, and then the camera zoomed in, appearing on the rooftop of the castle.
above……
Empty.
Everyone: “…”
However, at the moment of sunset, the rooftop was suddenly covered with flowers, and then in another moment, it was covered with frost.
Those flowers were turned into crystal flowers by the frost, and they were colorful under the sunlight.
Colorful butterflies flew out of the castle like flowing water, swirling in the frosty world, gathering together, and transforming into a familiar figure.
She wore a white coat, gold-rimmed glasses, white gloves, and held a folding fan in her hand.
The facial features...delicate and youthful, just as they always were.
Everyone: “???”
Passed away? ?
This guy is younger than all of them, he is so far away from this world!!
She looked at the camera, raised her head dignifiedly, and showed a proud smile——
"I am indeed going to die. I can feel that my life has come to an end. Today is the day I die."
"But I am the noble Baizhi, so I will not allow myself to grow old."
