Now, no matter what He Sizhao wanted to say, he couldn't say a word.
Jiang Chuyi didn't hear the whole thing and looked at him puzzledly: "But what's wrong with you?"
He Sizhao: ...
Double whammy.
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but put his hand down to support his forehead. After putting it down, he was the calm and composed Captain He again.
"How did I die?" he asked.
Ji Xia didn't feel at all that he had interrupted something important. When he heard this question, even though they were separated by a lifetime, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
"It was during the last operation to clear out the teahouse sub-base," he whispered. "Only Wuyi and Su Mo returned then. They said you'd disappeared while trying to save them. So when you came back, I was so excited and incredulous when I heard your voice. I had to go out and see it with my own eyes to believe it. I didn't expect someone else to come back at the same time..."
He glanced at Jiang Chuyi secretly.
Jiang Chuyi was not too surprised. She had guessed this before. After all, even He Sizhao could not survive in a tide of zombies of that magnitude.
He Sizhao was mentally prepared this time and did not show any extra expression. He pondered for a moment and suddenly looked at Jiang Chuyi.
"If things had gone according to plan, I would have died in that zombie horde. The only reason I survived was because of you," he said confidently. "When you kissed me, my depleted energy suddenly began to surge. At the time, I thought it was the unleashing of human potential in desperate situations. Now I think my potential was already fully unleashed when I was trying to stop those zombies."
Ji Xia had no idea this was happening. He raised his head in astonishment and stared at Jiang Chuyi.
Even though he had lived two lives and witnessed the difference in Jiang Chuyi in this life, he could never have imagined that it was she who saved He Sizhao.
The most desperate fear in the world saved the world's hope. This huge contrast made him fall into a slight trance.
Jiang Chuyi curled the ends of her hair and snorted softly: "If I don't give you some energy, you will really die. Besides, I had a special situation and needed to rest. What's wrong with asking you to do some work?"
She spoke so confidently that it woke Ji Xia from her trance, and she felt that Jiang Chuyi was still the same Jiang Chuyi.
He Sizhao had no complaints at all. His eyes were soft and he held Jiang Chuyi's hand emotionally.
"Xiaoyi, when I didn't know, you saved my life and the lives of others again."
Jiang Chuyi got goosebumps from his tone and shook his hand off: "He Sizhao, be normal."
Why did she feel that he had become strange since he knew her identity?
Suddenly became clingy... and annoying.
Ji Xia didn't expect that He Sizhao had such a side to him, and he showed an expression as if his worldview had collapsed.
Only He Sizhao himself remained unmoved. Even after being thrown away, he clung to Jiang Chuyi and said pitifully, "Okay, don't abandon me."
Jiang Chuyi: ...
Ji Xia: ...
Seeing the speechless expressions of both of them, He Sizhao coughed lightly and his expression returned to normal.
"Ji Xia, please continue," he said, "What happened after I died?"
"...Oh, okay." Ji Xia replied blankly, his eyes lost in memories. "After confirming Captain He's death, the base considered adjusting a new response method. At that time, the Zombie King's actions were already very obvious..." He glanced at Jiang Chuyi again, "So the target was also very large. Humanity began to unite and organize a counterattack."
Jiang Chuyi glared back at him: "You idiot, have you heard any news about the Zombie King in this life? You are still so suspicious."
"When you came back, I had just been reborn not long ago." Ji Xia whispered, "When I opened my eyes, I saw the base being attacked. I couldn't distinguish between my past and present lives, and my mind was in a state of confusion."
"That attack was probably caused by that person realizing my father and Su Yuanchen's rebellion, so he wanted to eliminate the top brass at the base." He Sizhao pondered, "Didn't you experience this attack in your previous life?"
"What...what that person?" Ji Xia was a little confused. His military instinct made him choose to answer He Sizhao's question first. "Is it this attack? I really can't remember. There were too many attacks, big and small, in my previous life. After all, there was the Zombie King."
Jiang Chuyi snorted coldly.
Of course she knew, because these were the original plots she was supposed to follow.
From the moment she came into this world, the original trajectory was changed and could never be reversed.
He Sizhao nodded in understanding. "After my death, who took over the special forces and the resistance army? Does Lu Qianzhi know?"
Ji Xia was silent for a moment, then whispered, "After your death, Lu Qianzhi became the strongest on the human side. Although he still couldn't compete with the Zombie King, he had both strength and strategy, and he did lead humanity to the final victory."
"The final victory?" He Sizhao keenly grasped the key words, his eyes suddenly sharp. "You mean, in your time, humans defeated the zombies, and the apocalypse is over?"
Ji Xia's expression gradually darkened: "Humanity did defeat the zombies, but the apocalypse didn't..."
Before he could finish his words, he was choked by the murderous intent that suddenly rose from He Sizhao.
He Sizhao asked expressionlessly, "He killed Xiaoyi?"
The coldness and murderous intent in these words made Ji Xia shiver violently.
"That's not me." Jiang Chuyi said, "Be clear-headed and don't mistake everything for me."
He Sizhao's breathing slowed down slightly, but he still didn't restrain his murderous intent.
Ji Xia couldn't bear it any longer. "Miss Jiang is right. The zombie king in my memory is ferocious and brutal, and has almost no self-awareness. Killing is the only thing it does. It's nothing like Miss Jiang. That's why I said I'm not sure. If Miss Jiang didn't look exactly like it and have the same amazing power, I wouldn't dare to blindly recognize it."
He Sizhao's eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Jiang Chuyi: "Could that be your clone?"
"Clone?" Ji Xia was stunned. He felt that he had lived two lives in vain. How could he know less than these two people who had not been reborn?
Jiang Chuyi didn't say anything. Of course she knew that was her original body, but it was difficult to explain it now.
He Sizhao also knew that Jiang Chuyi probably didn't understand this either, so he said solemnly, "So the focus of everything still lies on which 'doctor' is this."
"What are you talking about?" Ji Xia asked confusedly.
He Sizhao shook his head and asked again: "Since the Zombie King is so powerful, how did Lu Qianzhi kill it?"
"Yes..." Ji Xia recalled carefully and said affirmatively, "This process was indeed very difficult. Humans and zombies fought for many years, consuming a lot of time, resources, and countless lives before we discovered the secret of the Zombie King."
Jiang Chuyi's expression changed: "What is it?"
The original book was written from Lu Qianzhi's perspective, and the details about some other people were not added in detail. She didn't know what weaknesses this body had.
Ji Xia glanced at Jiang Chuyi and whispered, "There is a core in the heart of the Zombie King. If you destroy it, it will die."
They were both stunned.
Jiang Chuyi subconsciously touched the area where his heart was. He Sizhao frowned and said, "I've done a full body check on Xiaoyi before, but I didn't find this so-called core."
"I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's inside the heart. Maybe it's really like what you said, and the rampaging zombie king isn't Miss Jiang herself." Ji Xia said, "At that time, no one took the zombie king for a physical examination."
This is indeed not easy to do.
Jiang Chuyi fell into deep thought.
In the original plot, Lu Qianzhi's strength suddenly increased after killing the Zombie King, but it was not clearly stated why.
core……
"Since the Zombie King is dead, the apocalypse should be over." He Sizhao's voice interrupted her thoughts, "You just said that the apocalypse hasn't ended yet. Why?"
"Ah, that's because." Ji Xia's face darkened again, a hint of pain and helplessness. "At that time, 90% of the world's population had been infected, and the remaining humans were less than the population of an entire city. Without a vaccine, humans were still unable to resist the attacks of the remaining zombies, and the number of healthy people was dwindling... By the time I died, the number had dwindled even more than before."
Hearing this shocking future, neither of them spoke for a moment.
Jiang Chuyi was recalling the original plot. The original book ended at the moment when Lu Qianzhi killed her, the zombie king, and his strength skyrocketed. It seemed that the future was as full of hope as the rising sun.
But I didn't expect that in places not mentioned in the book, the development of this world would be so dark and desperate.
A few minutes later, He Sizhao finally spoke: "Is Professor Wang Kangping also dead?"
"Professor Wang isn't dead, but due to limited resources, he claims he lacks the ability to develop a vaccine." Ji Xia gave a wry smile. "Captain He, I can't describe how thrilled I am to hear your voice again after my rebirth. It means there's still time to change everything... I was thirty-seven when I died, and I'm twenty-four now. For thirteen years, humanity has been fleeing for its life, living in despair and fear, without even a glimmer of hope... It's a future not worth looking forward to, and I dread it."
This soldier, who had always been a bit honest but shed no tears, choked up and frankly admitted his fear.
He Sizhao patted his shoulder silently.
Ji Xia lowered his head, and Jiang Chuyi saw a tear drop falling from his lowered face.
She calmly looked away.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the author has already hinted at the reason why human beings fall into despair at the beginning.
At the moment when Lu Qianzhi killed Jiang Chuyi as a human being, what died was not only Jiang Chuyi's humanity and kindness, but also the vaccine she had just developed.
If those humans at that time had been willing to listen to her for a few more words, the Zombie King might not have been born and the vaccine would not have been destroyed.
All of this is the result of human beings’ own evil deeds.
"So you've never heard of 'The Doctor', nor do you know about clones, right?" He Sizhao asked. "In your time, were my father and his people... normal?"
"I've certainly never heard of this person, nor have I heard of clones or anything like that." Ji Xia calmed down and shook his head. "As far as I can remember, there's never been any such thing as a change in leadership. Commander-in-Chief He has always been Commander-in-Chief He, and General Su and General Wen are also normal. It's just that after Su Mo's death, General Su rarely appeared in public, and in the end I didn't even know if he was still alive. Commander-in-Chief He and General Wen were still alive when I died."
At this point, Ji Xia's story has ended, but based on the clues he provided, the whole thing seems even more confusing.
For example, who is the Doctor?
He is like a mystery. There was no trace of him in Ji Xia's previous life, but in this life he seems to be able to make things happen and control the lifeblood of the entire world.
Why has no one heard of such a powerful person, whether before or after the apocalypse?
"No matter what, as long as you are alive in this life, Captain He, and Miss Jiang is here, we still have hope." Ji Xia said excitedly.
He had blind faith in them. Jiang Chuyi didn't bother to pay attention to him and was lost in thought.
Now that the clue is stuck with the Doctor, the person most likely to get the answer is the original body.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
"Host, your application for the original body's memories has been approved. Do you want to receive them now?"
The author has something to say:
