Day 95 of picking up trash
Hang Ying and the others at the Qunshan base were unhappy.
They knew that Boss Naji wouldn't stay at their base forever, but they didn't expect him to be lured away by people from the capital base so quickly, so of course they weren't happy.
People flocked to the little robot shop to make transactions.
Although they knew the shop would remain open after the owner left, they couldn't help but worry about what might happen.
Besides the people from the mountain base, there were two others who were also unhappy.
Those are the two zombie kings over at the dock.
The little robot, on its way to the capital base, naturally didn't forget to say hello to its partners.
Although the two zombie kings had regained their senses, they had not returned to their former selves. They had become new thoughts and beings, so naturally they did not know where the capital base was.
All I know is that it's very far.
If the ivy zombie king still wants to chase people around like before, it might take at least half a year to find the place.
How could the two zombie kings possibly be happy?
Fortunately, they soon heard the little robot say that it would be back soon.
After all, the little robot is now highly skilled at opening branch stores and doesn't need to waste much time anymore. The only time it might take a little longer is in finding a store location, but the little robot has now discovered that it doesn't actually need to refer to human information on "good store locations".
After all, his shop has no competitors. Even if it's located in the most remote corner, plenty of people will still come looking for it with their trash.
Therefore, the little robot does not intend to spend much time on site selection for its journey to the capital base.
The main purpose was to communicate with human zombie virus researchers.
The little robot came to the dock this time not only to tell the two of them that it would be leaving for a while, but also to have another important matter to attend to.
"I already have a solution for the speaking problem." The little robot said, taking out two boxes that looked like medicine from the recycling bin and handing them to the two zombie kings. "Just eat this."
The two zombie kings took it without hesitation and fed it into their mouths.
Anyway, they're all zombie kings now, their physical strength isn't so easily damaged, and they're not afraid of anything inside their bodies. As long as their crystal cores aren't destroyed.
Besides, even if this human wanted to harm me, there was no need to go to such lengths.
Although I don't want to admit it, the two of us combined might not be able to defeat this human. If the other party really has bad intentions, using force directly is actually the easiest way.
Therefore, the two zombie kings were not afraid of the small capsule at all.
As they swallowed, the two zombie kings felt a slight movement in their throats.
The movement was incredibly subtle. If their bodies hadn't been in a state of stasis from the moment they became zombies, making even the slightest movement exceptionally noticeable, they wouldn't have even noticed it.
In just a few seconds, when the two zombie kings spoke again, they found that their voices were no longer the hoarse roars of wild beasts.
"Roar, I...wait, I...I can speak human language now!"
"Uh, me! Me too!"
Upon noticing the change in their voices, the two zombie kings no longer cared about the little robot. Although they felt they were no longer human, the ability to speak human language excited them greatly, and they immediately started chattering like two frogs in a paddy field, one after another without stopping.
As for the human leaving?
Let them go, it's not like they're never coming back.
Little robot: "..."
He left quietly.
.
However, the little robot's journey to the capital base did not go so smoothly.
The day after he notified the two zombie kings, the little robot was ambushed in his own shop.
Leading the group was Tan Kang, who had somehow arrived at the Qunshan base from the Hope base.
Behind him followed a group of menacing superhumans, and many superhumans and ordinary people watched quietly from the sidelines with fear in their eyes.
This scene looks like something out of the Middle Ages, like a witch being surrounded.
"Excuse me, what is this place?"
The little robot looked at the group of people blocking the surrounding customers from coming over and asked.
Tan Kang was no longer as amicable as he had been at the Hope Base. His expression was wary and hostile as he coldly asked him, "Mr. Ji Tong, where were you yesterday?"
The people behind him watched the little robot with great tension.
Waiting for his answer.
The little robot didn't know why humans were interested in his itinerary yesterday, but he didn't hide anything and asked directly, "You went to Qiuhe Wharf yesterday, what's up?"
In an instant, the crowd erupted in uproar.
The superhumans following behind Tan Kang looked at the little robot with disgust and fear in their eyes.
Tan Kang, however, had a glint of smugness in his eyes, which he quickly concealed before anyone could notice, and he too looked at the little robot with a gaze filled with disgust and fear.
Some short-tempered superhumans are already exhibiting increasingly stronger energy fluctuations in their hands.
The little robot's gaze swept across the energy fluctuations from multiple locations, and it asked, "What are you doing here?"
Is this what "those who come with ill intentions" look like in human records?
“Since Mr. Naji has admitted it, then it’s definitely not a mistake on my part.” Tan Kang looked around and said loudly, “Mr. Naji, please explain why you were with the zombies!”
"Yes! And they're a bunch of zombies, and they even listen to you!!"
"Oh my god! I knew I'd seen some weird zombies lately. They not only bite people, but they also pick up trash on the ground! I thought I was just imagining things, but it turns out it's all true!"
"Isn't Boss Ji the one who loves scavenging? Those zombies must have been ordered by him!"
"I knew it! He must have had so many supplies; the zombies probably looted them for him!"
"My God, how did he get into our human base! What does he want?!"
"Before he came, our mountain base wasn't besieged by zombies. It only started after he arrived! He must have done it!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
"No, no, no! We can't let him go! Kill him!"
"Arrest him! Arrest him!"
The crowd began to shout and make a ruckus.
In an instant, some people, unable to bear the fear, began to cry out in despair.
Although they had already heard the news when they came here, Tan Kang told them and others that some people saw Ji Tong getting along peacefully with the zombies, and that Ji Tong was even in a dominant position.
However, when they actually heard the truth of the news from the person involved, they still couldn't bear what it meant.
It's no exaggeration to say that people at the Gunsan base might not know what the leader looks like, but they absolutely cannot be unaware of Naji's shop and Naji's boss!
His status in the hearts of the people is no less than that of the savior!
But now, they're being told that this savior they thought was their hero is actually a spy sent by the zombies?!
Whether they were worried that there would never be such an easy place to trade supplies again, or they were thinking about how the zombies had evolved to this point and what future humanity had, the despair in everyone's hearts was clearly overwhelming.
Apart from a few loudly proclaiming superpowered individuals, most people were filled with various thoughts and remained silent.
Meanwhile, the little robot analyzed the current situation for a while from the words of the several fierce and shouting superpowered individuals.
It's not that hard to guess.
The little robot suddenly realized that its interactions with the two zombie kings had been discovered by the humans.
Oh no, to be more precise, the humans haven't discovered two zombie kings at the dock yet.
It sounds like they might see themselves as zombie kings, beings who can command and control ordinary zombies.
No wonder he was so emotional.
The little robot seemed to understand, and its emotions didn't even fluctuate much.
He had no intention of making excuses to hide it.
After all, the little robot had never intended to hide its association with the zombie king from the very beginning.
Otherwise, the teleportation scrolls in his warehouse wouldn't just be decorative items for fun.
Of course, there was no intention to hide anything, nor did the little robot intend to explain the situation so clearly to these humans.
He only looked at Tan Kang, as well as Hang Ying and the people from the capital base who had rushed over after hearing the news, and simply explained: "Those zombies are not under my control, and I have no intention of harming humanity."
"So, what are your plans now?"
Before Hang Ying and the others could speak, Tan Kang, looking utterly devastated by the deception, declared: "We will never believe a word you say again! If you truly have no malicious intent, then come with us voluntarily. Afterward, you must be under our supervision until everything is thoroughly investigated! This is a matter of responsibility to all humanity!"
To put it bluntly, Tan Kang's idea was simply to lock up the little robot. As for the subsequent investigation, whether to start with the zombies or the little robot, who knows?
His thoughts are not hard to guess.
No matter how "naive" the little robot may be, it can still see the malice of humans towards it, and Tan Kang is clearly one of those people now.
The little robot didn't even glance at him, but instead cast its questioning gaze toward Hang Ying, the head of the Qunshan base, and the researchers who had originally said they would take him to the capital base to discuss the zombie antidote.
The latter's expression was clearly full of contradictions.
They hadn't even fully processed the shocking news when they faced such a crucial decision.
Their reason told them that Tan Kang's words made sense, and that this was the responsible thing to do for humanity.
However, they hadn't just met the little robot on the first day; they had already spent some time together. Hang Ying had even experienced the little robot turning the tide in a zombie siege. Coupled with the various incidents at Naji's shop, she simply couldn't bring herself to agree.
Moreover... Hang Ying always felt that Ji Tong, whom she had personally interacted with, was not the kind of zombie spy that Tan Kang described, who was plotting to destroy humanity.
As for the researchers at the capital base, although they had little interaction with the small robots and didn't understand politics, they understood the technology.
The researchers dare to swear on their research findings that the Mr. Najitong they knew had absolutely no ill intentions towards humanity.
If there really is a zombie who puts in such a wholehearted and unreserved effort in making an antidote for the zombie virus, then... then... then this zombie is definitely a good zombie!
The researchers thought this in their hearts and said it aloud with the same boldness: "We believe in Mr. Naji. We don't need to wait any longer for the day to go to the capital base. Let's just leave now!"
