Lin Cheng was indeed quite weak. The recovery of his supernatural powers became slow, and the little energy he had was used to suppress the speed of his zombie transformation, but he had never tried to absorb other people's energy.
Lin Man directly infused the spiritual power into him.
By the way, she also went around in his body. She had treated many people and was used to it.
Then she discovered that there were some places in his body that spiritual power could not penetrate. They were small, scattered, and patchy, as if they were necrotic. His heartbeat was very slow, and his blood flow was slowly stagnant. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in an ominous black fog, and his vitality was slowly fading.
She felt like she was witnessing the birth of a zombie, or the creation of a corpse.
She glanced at Lin Cheng, said nothing, increased her output, and withdrew her hand after a long time.
Lin Cheng's face became much rosier, and he felt much more relaxed and comfortable. In fact, he had been feeling a little short of breath and dizzy.
"How about it?"
"Much better than before." Lin Cheng felt it, "It's also slower, I mean the rate of necrosis."
"That's useful. Let's explore slowly. Are you hungry now? If you are, eat something. Once your stomach is damaged, you might not be able to eat even if you want to." Lin Man said, "Those zombies must have rotten intestines too. Where did all the food they ate go? Won't they bloat and explode?"
Lin Cheng: “…” Is it really okay to say these things while eating?
Lin Cheng said, "Maybe I can answer this question for you later."
No, he seemed to be able to answer Lin Man now.
Lin Cheng originally just wanted to have a simple meal, but after taking a bite, he couldn't stop... and half an hour later, he had eaten up everything on the table like a whirlwind.
Lin Man: “…”
Lin Man's expression changed from stunned, to shocked, to numb, and then he held his chin to observe while communicating with Guan Guan consciously: "Is it okay for him to eat like this?"
Guan Guan said lazily: "How should I know?"
"Is there any way you can help him?"
"Don't you have an idea? Why not just let him slowly turn into the Zombie King?"
"But what if it fails?" Billions of zombies, and only five known zombie kings so far. What if after all this hard work, only one person dies? Lin Man wasn't so optimistic about Lin Cheng's future, and he must have known it himself, but after she told him her plan, he didn't object at all.
There was some worry in Lin Man's eyes, but when Lin Cheng finished the last bite, she immediately put away those worries and pushed her broad beans to him: "Are you full?" She couldn't help but move closer and touch his stomach. It was very flat and firm. Where did he eat all the food?
Lin Cheng suddenly dodged backwards.
Lin Man asked again: "Are you full?"
Lin Cheng really wanted to say that he was full, but the more he ate, the hungrier he became. After calming down, he reluctantly nodded.
"So you're not full, that's why you want to eat this food?" Lin Man pointed at himself. "What about me? You don't want to eat me, right?"
Lin Cheng: “…I don’t want to.”
It’s good that you don’t want to eat people. Ordinary food is easy to come by. She can provide it.
Lin Man waved his hand and brought Lin Cheng into the space.
This space was not originally intended to be known to anyone except her mother, but she also planned to lock Lin Cheng up here if he turned into a zombie in the future, as if to let the prisoners see his prison in advance.
Lin Cheng was stunned by what he saw.
After looking at the cabin, the chicken coop, and the wheat field, his eyes finally fell on the apple tree.
He murmured, "So that's how it is."
Lin Man used his spiritual power to pick two apples and handed one to him. "It's nice here, right? You can stay here from now on. You don't have to worry about hurting others. It's very good here. The spiritual energy... well, it's very abundant. My mother used to sleep here every day, and her health has improved. Living here might be helpful to you as well."
Lin Cheng looked at her: "I've taken over this place, what will Aunt Chen do?"
"It's okay. She's in good health now, and the environment on Dayan Mountain has improved. The space won't have much effect on her."
"But it's a pity that such a good place was polluted by me." He was full of viruses.
"It's okay. The soil and air here have strong self-purification capabilities." Lin Man said, "Lin Cheng, look, we have a place to stay, food to eat, and plenty of time. Don't think too much. Just give it a try. You only live once. When you die, everything is gone."
Lin Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Okay."
Lin Man was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange being looked at by him, and turned around and said, "Let me see what cooked food I have here, but it seems there is nothing left. What do you want to eat? We can make it now."
Lin Man doesn't have much cooking skills, and Lin Cheng's condition is not suitable for entering the kitchen. Thinking about his appetite, they finally decided to steam the sweet potatoes. It is the easiest and a large pot can be steamed at a time.
But before that, Lin Cheng was still worried about the others, so Lin Man had to take him out of the space and climb onto Guan Guan's back. It took more than ten minutes to find the current base of more than 900 people. The people and the plane were parked on a deserted plain. They looked very harmonious and even set up a pot to cook.
Lin Man said, "Look, I told them they're alright, right? It's much easier than your near-death experience." But thinking of how many people had been infected with the virus, Lin Man felt sad. He asked Lin Cheng, "What are your plans now? Are you going to tell them the Zombie King is dead, or are you going to fill your stomach first? But I have to remind you that it would take at least several days to walk from Si City to here, and even a plane would take two or three hours. It might be a bit early for you to show up now."
Lin Cheng was amused: "You pay so much attention to details?"
"Of course, I am a person who holds a big secret. Details determine success or failure. What if I am accidentally discovered?" Lin Man felt that he had done a good job in this aspect, so he came out with a bit of pride.
Lin Cheng suddenly thought of the supplies packages that were missing from the burnt helicopter when Chen Huaan and Min Jian were investigating her whereabouts.
He suppressed a laugh and said, "I'm not going anywhere. But when the commander is about to arrive, do you have a way to lead them here? Otherwise, they'll take the wrong route. I previously sent Zhang Changming and four others back to report the situation, but Zhang Changming's alarm device broke, and now his whereabouts are unknown. The commander probably doesn't know the situation here yet."
Lin Man was shocked: "Is there such a thing? Where is the place where Zhang Changming had the accident? Maybe he is waiting for rescue. Anyway, we are free, so let's go look for him." She had a good impression of the tall and thin Zhang Changming who loved to eat.
So the two of them got on Guan Guan's back again. Lin Man used Guan Guan's spiritual energy to create a space where the wind could not enter. Sitting inside, it was like sitting in a soft space. They could not feel the almost exaggerated speed of advancement at all.
Since he had nothing to do for the time being, Lin Man took out food from the space. If there was no ready-made food, he would eat apples. In addition to apples, there were also peaches, mulberries, dates, chestnuts, etc. It seemed that there was a lot of food to eat.
So the two of them were clearly rushing to find someone to save someone, but ended up hiding there and eating as if they were on a trip. Lin Cheng even asked her about the origins of Guan Guan and the space. Lin Man briefly explained, and finally said with emotion: "...At that time, my mother and I were really about to give up. Fortunately, Guan Guan showed up. Without it, there would be no me today, and there would be no Dayanshan Peace Base today."
She touched the soft spiritual energy around her and shouted proudly.
"I didn't expect you had such a hard time back then." At that time, Lin Man had almost no gloom and cynicism that came from having experienced hardships. She was optimistic, cheerful, generous, and enthusiastic, just like a child who grew up without any worries. When Lin Cheng saw her talking about the past without any shadow and even smiling with emotion, his heart suddenly felt like a piece of it collapsed, and he felt soft.
He smiled and said, "After going through so much hardship, you still have such a good character. It's rare." Perhaps this was partly due to Lin Man's nature, but Chen Yu also played an important role. She had a very positive influence on her daughter. Lin Cheng suddenly admired the seemingly fragile woman.
Lin Man gave her a strange look: "Your childhood was not easy, and now you are still selfless and risking your life for others."
“…”Can this matter be let go?
Lin Cheng said, "So you were short of supplies at the beginning, no wonder you wanted to get those supply packs."
"What supply package?"
Lin Cheng recounted the helicopter incident. It took Lin Man a while to remember the incident. She had just met Chen Hua'an and the others when a zombie bird attacked them. Min Jian was in the helicopter, and it crashed into a building along with the plane. She went to rescue them, and before the helicopter exploded, while confronting the zombie bird, she secretly stole about two hundred packages of supplies from the cabin. But she thought she was the only one who knew about it!
"How do you know?"
"Although the plane was burned beyond recognition, I could still roughly tell the amount of supplies. I checked the numbers with Chen Hua'an and then with Min Jian. I felt like some of the supplies had disappeared strangely, and there were no traces of any left nearby. I didn't think much of it at the time, but today I finally understand the reason. I think they all entered your space."
Because there was space, even in a critical situation, it was not a problem to take some supplies with her. And she was so short of supplies at the time, so of course she took whatever she could get.
Lin Man felt that he was simply a monster. His observation ability was amazing. No wonder he immediately identified the Zombie King as the old city lord.
"Also, that whole story about earthquakes bringing forth divine grain is all fake. Those grains originally came from your dimension, right? No wonder they can grow for generations wherever they are. Your excuse is too crude, and it's probably because people haven't looked into it carefully enough. Otherwise, it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny."
Lin Man understood. This guy cited these two things to say that she was terrible at paying attention to details, right?
She gritted her teeth: "Lin Cheng, do you want to fight?"
"I dare not. I am telling you that you have made some mistakes. You should be more careful in the future."
"Yeah, you are my biggest flaw right now. I'd better silence you."
Lin Cheng quickly begged for mercy, and the two of them exchanged words like two childish ghosts. It didn't seem like it took much time before they arrived at the place where Zhang Changming and the others had the accident.
Looking down, there are continuous mountains, and between the mountains there are deep ravines and abysses that are bottomless.
Lin Man had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He felt that this place looked familiar. "Guan Guan, didn't we pass by this place when we came here?"
Just as she finished speaking, a dark cloud suddenly emerged from below with a creaking sound, looking very fierce. However, when it got closer, it seemed that it saw or felt something, and it flew back screaming in fear.
Lin Man: Oh, zombie birds. Those same zombie birds that overestimated their own abilities and got crushed so badly about an hour ago. No wonder she felt this place looked familiar.
