Jiang Chuyi stood there for a long time without moving.
She was very sure that she had just heard He Sizhao's voice, and there was absolutely no way she could be mistaken.
But how is this possible?
"It's said that people experience hallucinations when they miss someone too much." Jiang Chuyi felt that there seemed to be a hint of sympathy in the system's tone. "Maybe... you just miss him too much."
"You're talking nonsense." Jiang Chuyi said, "If you didn't hear it, just say you didn't hear it. Don't say nonsense that I didn't ask you."
The system admitted aggrievedly: "I really didn't hear He Sizhao's voice."
Jiang Chuyi suppressed her anger and closed her eyes. After evolving again, the entire world was within her perception range. As long as she wanted, she could know the slightest movement in any corner of the world.
She would not deceive herself because of missing him. If she heard the voice just now, there must be some clues that she had not discovered yet.
The night wind was quiet, and she heard humans walking in the vast wilderness, heading towards their new homeland.
She heard that the distant headquarters was working in full swing, with new buildings rising from the ground.
She heard that there were still zombies that had not yet been naturalized attacking humans.
The whole world appeared before her eyes in full detail.
In this clamor that encompassed the entire world, she felt a unique sense of connection rising from the depths of her heart, and the calling came out again with incredible clarity.
"Xiaoyi..."
Jiang Chuyi suddenly opened his eyes and quickly rushed in the direction indicated in his mind.
She had walked a long distance, walked around in a huge circle, and returned to the original place.
Jiang Chuyi stood in the middle of the huge circular pit. He already had a guess in his mind, but to confirm it, he asked the system, "What is this place?"
"This is..." The system was also a little surprised. "This is the location of the doctor's underground research institute. According to Su Mo and the others, He Sizhao flattened it when he detonated the core. What are you doing here?"
Jiang Chuyi didn't answer. She closed her eyes and felt that the sense of connection here was stronger than ever before.
Yes, it's here.
This should be the burial place of He Shizhao, why can she still feel the connection with him?
This kind of connection did not exist before, so why does it appear now?
Her eyes were cold as she looked around the empty pit, and suddenly she found something trying to break out of the ground.
Jiang Chuyi quickly rushed to the side, grabbed the struggling thing with his shadow hand, and pulled it out.
A zombie with a relatively intact face but covered in dust and dirt appeared before his eyes.
As soon as it saw Jiang Chuyi, its eyes were immediately filled with human-like grievance and dependence. It moved its jaws clatteringly, and it looked like it was about to rush over and hug her in the next second.
Jiang Chuyi immediately took a step back.
She felt the wailing and crying in her mind, as well as the aggrieved expression of this zombie she had never seen before, and a name came to her mind.
"...Mistress?" she asked uncertainly.
The zombie's kabakaba sound paused, then it nodded frantically, its pale eyeballs lighting up.
“…It really is you.”
Jiang Chuyi didn't expect to see her stupid subordinate here. After all, it had worked hard for her for so long, but this was the first time she saw it.
Unlike what she had imagined, the body of the high-level zombie was very complete, and its face was not so bloody. It maintained the appearance of a good-looking teenager, staring at her with eager eyes, which inexplicably reminded her of Wu Yi.
And I haven't cared about it for a long time. Because it has been closely connected with Jiang Chuyi's consciousness, it has evolved by itself, from the third level at the beginning to the fifth level, which is also at the top of the food chain.
No wonder it can command those zombies so well.
But looking at its expression now, as if it finally found its mother, it is really hard to associate it with a fifth-level zombie.
"Is it me you summoned?" Jiang Chuyi was a little disappointed. "You didn't die in that explosion, you're lucky. Go back."
However, Xiao San did not move. It moved its jaws again, stamped its feet, and looked at Jiang Chuyi anxiously.
It looked like it would have grabbed her if it hadn't been afraid.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chuyi looked at it in confusion, then looked at its repetitive movements. An idea suddenly popped up in her mind, making her heart skip a beat.
"Wait, you mean... the person you asked you to protect is down there?"
The purpose of her sending Xiao San was to protect He Sizhao and the others, and she has not forgotten this.
The mistress started to electrocute his head madly.
Jiang Chuyi's throat moved, and the feeling of being blocked in her throat came back, making her voice dry: "He Sizhao... is here?"
Su Mo and the others said that He Sizhao was blown to pieces, and she had already accepted this fact.
However, looking at Xiao San's confident look, her dead heart suddenly began to beat again.
She was silent for a moment, then asked the system, "Is there any sign of life underground?"
"No." The system said with certainty, "Absolutely no more. He Sizhao can't be alive."
Jiang Chuyi fell silent again. She stared at the mistress who refused to give up, struggling in her heart.
Finally, she raised her arms, lifted herself and Xiao San into the air, and then her shadow hands began to dig into the ground.
"If you dare to lie to me, you will be the one buried in here soon." She said coldly.
Xiao San shuddered suddenly. He was held in the air like a sack and dared not move.
Jiang Chuyi stared closely at the digging on the ground. Just where the little three fingers had been, the shadow hand dug one meter, two meters, three meters...
They dug deeper and deeper, and soon a deep pit of several hundred meters appeared, but there was still no sign of living people.
Jiang Chuyi turned to Xiao San with an expressionless face. Xiao San looked at her pleadingly and continued to nod vigorously.
After evolving to the fifth level, its intelligence remained relatively intact. It knew that the man was very important to its master, so how could it dare to lie to him?
Jiang Chuyi continued digging.
When digging to a depth of nearly a thousand meters, Xiao San's consciousness suddenly flashed like an explosion.
"Here it is! Here it is!" it said.
Jiang Chuyi's eyes darkened, she stopped digging, held up a handful of soil with both hands, and slowly lifted it up.
When the handful of soil appeared on the ground, she even stopped breathing for a moment.
In the brown-black soil, a patch of wheat-colored skin was so eye-catching that it made Jiang Chuyi stop in mid-air and did not move for a long time.
She looked at the human skin from afar, and her eyes actually felt a little hot.
"This is impossible!" The system's shocked voice woke her up. "It's already impossible for a zombie to survive. Under an explosion of that magnitude, there is no way any living creature could survive!"
Jiang Chuyi's voice trembled: "Is he still alive?"
The system scanned it carefully and said solemnly and confusedly, "I don't know... He really doesn't have any biological aura, but I can't figure out what's going on now."
No living breath.
The system has always emphasized that it is impossible for any living creature to survive.
Jiang Chuyi suddenly thought of something. She glanced at Xiao San and fell to the ground quickly.
The soil was dirty, her hands were white, and her white dress was clean, but for the first time she did not shy away at all. She walked directly into the soil and used her hands to dig out the soil buried on him.
When He Sizhao's face appeared in front of her again, Jiang Chuyi's breath trembled, and a drop of water dripped from her drooping eyelids and fell on He Sizhao's eyelids.
At that moment, a strong sense of connection once again emerged in Jiang Chuyi's heart, along with a painful call.
"Xiaoyi..."
"I am here."
This time Jiang Chuyi responded to him.
Not with the mouth, but directly with the consciousness, I accepted the call.
She already understood what was going on.
No one could survive the explosion, and He Shizhao was indeed dead, so the system kept saying that no living creatures were detected.
But he became a new species.
Jiang Chuyi gave his core directly to He Sizhao to eat, which was something no one had ever done before, either in or outside the plot. Lu Qianzhi in the original plot and the doctor outside the plot only absorbed the energy inside and used it. Only He Sizhao was the first person to eat the core, so Jiang Chuyi did not expect what would happen.
She raised her hand and gently placed it on He Shizhao's forehead. Their skin touched, and the sense of connection reached its strongest point.
Due to the energy of the core, He Sizhao turned into a zombie the moment he died, but due to the protection of Jiang Chuyi's core, he evolved and has transcended the limitations of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth levels. Even Jiang Chuyi doesn't know what he is now.
But she was able to connect with his consciousness, proving that he did have a relationship with the zombies and was no longer the simple human being he used to be.
Jiang Chuyi figured it out. She looked at this dirty handsome face, and the ice between her brows gradually melted.
She crossed mountains, rivers, jungles, crossed the vast ocean, dug thousands of meters into the earth's core, and finally found him again.
"According to the procedure in the book, I should give you a kiss now." Jiang Chuyi said to the unconscious person, "But you can't wake up now, so it would be a waste to kiss you, so I won't kiss you for now."
She ignored the dirt on He Shizhao's body and took the initiative to hold him horizontally, just like he had always held her.
It's just that the height difference is too big, and He Sizhao's legs are dragged on the ground. Jiang Chuyi doesn't care. She greets Xiao San in a good mood.
"Where is the rose garden you built? Take me there."
Xiao San was just wiping tears, with an expression like an old mother watching her daughter finally get married. Now, after hearing Jiang Chuyi's words, she immediately became nervous, as nervous as a boss coming to assess her work.
However, it would not disobey Jiang Chuyi's order and took her over anyway.
Before it landed on the ground, a strong rose fragrance hit Jiang Chuyi's face, making his already good mood even happier.
What unfolds before your eyes is a lush field of roses, each plant is well cared for, and the night dew is dotted on the upturned petals, making them even more gorgeous and tempting.
In the middle of the rose field, besides zombies walking numbly, there is even a villa.
I don’t know if it was originally here or if the zombies built it themselves.
Jiang Chuyi's breath was at zero. Xiao San roared, and in an instant countless zombies rushed out from the corners, each of them howling excitedly.
The beast-like howling gathered into surging waves in the night sky, and humans traveling in the distance were awakened with horror on their faces.
I'm afraid their vigilance will be at its highest tonight and they won't dare to sleep anymore.
But in reality...
"Ah!" (The King is coming!)
"Woo——" (The King has finally come to see us!)
"Awoo!" (Wang, look at our work, isn't it great?)
It was the first time Jiang Chuyi saw these zombies, and she didn't shut down her consciousness for a moment. Suddenly, countless different consciousnesses rushed in, making her head buzz and almost explode.
She immediately turned off her consciousness reception
"No need to come to see me, let them go." Jiang Chuyi ordered Xiao San. Since there was a tool corpse, why should he do the work himself? "Is the villa cleaned up? I want to move in."
Xiao San responded quickly, and the huge horde of zombies gradually retreated, but each one of them was reluctant to leave.
As for the villa, it said that it was prepared for Jiang Chuyi. It was originally something left behind by humans. Knowing that she likes cleanliness, they have been cleaning it and can move in at any time.
Jiang Chuyi felt very satisfied. She liked subordinates who were considerate and capable.
She brought He Shizhao and settled down here.
In order to express her special treatment to the person she liked, she filled a bathtub with hot water that night and sprinkled rose petals in it.
Then she threw He Sizhao in.
The author has something to say:
Damn it, I couldn’t finish writing today… I will definitely finish the main story tomorrow!
