Chen Xu also knew that what he did was wrong.

Even though his sister still has self-awareness, the fact that she has become a zombie is unchangeable.

But even so, Chen Xu couldn't bear to let others hurt her, let alone kill her with his own hands. After all, this person was his twin sister.

The only thing he can do now is to stop her from harming other humans when she is controlled by the zombie consciousness, and to prevent her from regretting her previous actions when she regains consciousness.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu felt more and more sad and guilty. Chen Li, who was standing next to him, probably sensed his sadness and looked over here.

The color of her pupils had returned to normal, no longer the scarlet red color that she had when she was madly trying to bite people, nor was it the all-white color that was common among zombies. Judging from her eyes alone, she looked very much like a normal human.

However, the purple and pale colors on her face and body indicated that she was no longer a living person.

"You should know that doing this will not help. In the end, she will still become a complete zombie." Gu Yicheng stated the facts in a calm tone, "And don't forget, she is already a third-level zombie. When she completely loses her consciousness, this school will have a huge threat, and more people will die here. You will also die at her hands."

Gu Yicheng looked at Chen Li's current state and wondered how long she could maintain her consciousness. Perhaps in a few days, she would be assimilated by the zombies and become a real zombie who would only follow her instincts.

Chen Xu, who was with Chen Li day and night, couldn't have been completely unaware of what Gu Yicheng said. It was just that he didn't dare to admit it in his heart.

Chen Xu had long discovered that with the passage of time, Lili's self-awareness time became shorter and shorter, and this time, she could be said to have lost control. If it weren't for the powerful strength of the group of people in front of her, Lili might have ripped them apart long ago.

Just because what he said touched his heart, Chen Xu became even more silent after hearing his words.

Ruan Ning listened to the brother and sister's experience and felt complicated.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of her own abilities. Since this person still had his consciousness and had not completely turned into a zombie, and she had been able to clear the zombie virus from her body last time, maybe she could help this person.

Gu Yicheng had always paid some attention to Ruan Ning. After seeing her expressions and movements, he vaguely understood what she wanted to do.

He frowned and disagreed, "Ningning, her body has turned into a zombie. You can't help her now." If it was when she was first scratched by the zombie, perhaps the possibility would be greater.

But even so, Gu Yichen didn't want to let the girl beside him take risks for a stranger just because the probability was already determined to be very low.

"Brother, I want to try it first. If it doesn't work, I will stop immediately." Ruan Ning stepped forward this time not just to help the brother and sister. She just wanted to figure out what her special ability was and to what extent it could be achieved.

This is also an opportunity. Moreover, as Gu Yicheng just said, if Chen Li completely turns into a third-level zombie, they will have more troubles.

Gu Yicheng's frown did not relax, but after seeing the determination in her eyes, he paused and acquiesced to her behavior. He did not stop her anymore, but just said helplessly: "Be careful. Don't get hurt by her."

Ruan Ning nodded, took a long breath, and then carefully approached the female zombie squatting on the stairs.

Chen Li's eyes moved a few times following Ruan Ning's movements, but her body did not move.

Ruan Ning had prepared herself mentally before coming here, so she was not frightened by her behavior. But she didn't expect that she, who was so scared of the appearance of zombies, would actually take the initiative to approach zombies one day.

Fortunately, Chen Li still has her own consciousness, and Ruan Ning's approach did not irritate her.

Gu Yicheng also followed over, standing aside with his arms folded, his eyes sharp. As long as the zombie in front of him showed signs of being controlled, he would take action.

With the male protagonist by her side, Ruan Ning was more confident and a little bolder. She put her hand on Chen Li's shoulder and took out the crystal core, trying to see if her special ability could be useful to her.

…

A few minutes later.

Although Ruan Ning's ability did not restore Chen Li's body to normal, and the exposed skin still had the unique skin color of a zombie, her own consciousness seemed to be a little stronger.

Chen Li's black and white eyes rolled around, with a hint of confusion, as if she had just come out of the period when she was controlled by the zombies. She didn't understand why there were so many strangers around her.

Chen Li turned her stiff neck and looked at Chen Xu not far away, and called him "brother" in a hoarse and dry voice.

When Chen Xu heard this familiar yet somewhat strange voice, he was stunned for a moment, then he trotted to Chen Li's side with an excited look on his face, "Lili! You can speak now!!" Ever since Lili turned into a zombie, she had never called him brother again.

This was the first time he had heard her voice in days.

Ruan Ning, who was standing by, was so exhausted after the performance that he couldn't control his body and fell backwards.

Gu Yicheng stepped forward and supported her in time.

This result was more serious than he thought. Perhaps he should have stopped her directly. Gu Yicheng frowned, a hint of annoyance appeared between his brows.

Ruan Ning half-lay in his arms, her voice so soft and faint that it was hard to hear, "...I can't save her."

Just as the male protagonist said before, this Chen Li can no longer be saved.

It should even be said that it was a miracle that she still had her own consciousness. She should have been assimilated by the zombies a few days ago.

Ruan Ning had just tried everything she could think of, and could only temporarily sober her up. This was the best she could do. Even so, this action had cost her almost half of the crystal cores in her space.

"Just do your best." Gu Yicheng soothed her gently.

Ruan Ning lowered her eyes, not very interested. Although she knew this was the truth, she felt a little depressed and indescribably uncomfortable when she thought that she had tried hard but still couldn't save this person.

Gu Yicheng saw her disgusted expression, reached out and rubbed her head, and said in a gentle voice, "At least you let the brother and sister talk a few more times. You have done a good job."

Ruan Ning's ability was much more powerful than Gu Yicheng had imagined. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary healing ability, but now it seemed that it was even more effective than the abilities of the high-level healing abilities of later generations.

In fact, the research on the zombie virus had not produced any results even two years after the end of the world. This virus that could turn humans into zombies was too overbearing. The virus serum was not developed.

Therefore, even if Ruan Ning's ability can only cure the infected who have not yet turned into zombies, it will be very popular in the doomsday and even attract people's pursuit and craziness.

But Gu Yicheng didn't want to put her in front of others.

This so-called reputation is ultimately more harmful than beneficial to her now.

If it were a month ago, Gu Yicheng might have just stood by and watched, not caring what she did.

But it doesn't work now.

On the other side, Chen Xu was still immersed in the joy that his sister was suddenly able to speak.

"Brother, you killed... me..." Chen Li said this short sentence with great difficulty. The zombie virus would damage a person's vocal cords. Chen Li was able to speak this time, thanks to Ruan Ning's help.

Chen Li's mentality has collapsed since she became a half-human, half-ghost appearance five days ago. At first, she was still able to retain her consciousness, but it was because of her consciousness that Chen Li could no longer ignore her current situation. She had to watch her body change and turn into the kind of zombie that everyone avoided. This torture was more than if she had completely turned into a zombie that could only rely on instinct.

Sometimes when Chen Li was awake, she would always wonder if she had been a zombie from the beginning, so she wouldn't be in so much pain.

As time went by, her consciousness gradually became blurred. When she saw a person, the first thought that flashed through her mind was that she wanted to eat this person.

Only in front of her brother, who has a twin-like telepathic connection with her, can she briefly regain a bit of sanity.

However, no one knows her body better than her.

She can hardly hold on any longer.

If she couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't resist the instinct that surged up in her body, she would be able to eat up not only other people but also her twin brother.

She didn't want to become such a monster without humanity. She was ready to end her life in advance.

But she still couldn't make up her mind in the end, not because she was afraid of death, but if she died, her brother who didn't have superpowers might not be able to survive in this place full of zombies. So she hesitated.

When Chen Xu heard what Chen Li said, he was completely stunned. After a long while, he said in disbelief: "Li Li, what are you talking about? How could I kill you!!"

"Brother, I...can't hold on any longer." She said weakly.

Chen Xu's eyes moistened when he saw her like this. He held her hand tightly, fearing that she would really leave him like this. He choked up and said, "Lili, this is all my fault. I didn't take good care of you. If you died, how would I explain to my parents? They are still waiting for us to return home."

Chen Li's body was getting weaker and weaker. She had just regained consciousness, but now it was becoming blurry again. She had a feeling that after this, her consciousness would never wake up in this body again.

Chen Li thought about it and looked at the man standing not far away, hugging the girl who had just helped her regain consciousness. This man was the one she wanted to devour the most among these people, and he was also the one with the strongest supernatural power among them.

"Thank you..." Chen Li said this to Ruan Ning. If it weren't for this person, she wouldn't even have the chance to have this last conversation with her brother.

"After I die, you can take the crystal core in my head. I just hope you can take my brother away from the school and send him to a safer place so that he can live well there." Chen Lisha's hoarse and dry voice carried a hint of pleading and expectation. She believed that these people had the ability to settle her brother.

Gu Yicheng supported Ruan Ning beside him without saying a word. Even when Chen Likou mentioned a third-level zombie crystal core, his dark eyes did not fluctuate much. It was not until the girl in his arms raised her head and looked in his direction that Gu Yicheng said, "I can agree to your request."

Ruan Ning probably overused her powers, and now she was completely powerless and didn't want to move at all. It seemed that she was too stubborn this time. In a situation like Chen Li's, where the zombie virus had completely corroded her body, she was completely helpless.

At this time, Xue Chen and several others who went to search the first floor also hurried to the staircase.

But they found nothing this time. Not only was there no living person on the entire first floor, there wasn't even a zombie to be seen.

"Mr. Gu, there is not a single zombie in the dining hall on the first floor of this cafeteria. No other survivors have been found either." After Xue Chen finished speaking, he also noticed Chen Li, who was obviously a zombie, and Chen Xu, who was holding a zombie, and he couldn't help but feel confused.

He subconsciously wanted to draw the gun from his waist, but when he saw that no one else present took any action, he stopped and chose not to take action.

Gu Yicheng was not surprised by what Xue Chen said, "I understand."

Level 3 zombies are now considered very powerful. It is precisely because of the presence of Chen Li, a level 3 zombie, that other low-level zombies dare not approach the cafeteria. Chen Xu can also stay in the cafeteria intact for five days without any supernatural powers.
