"Gu Qingqiu! Run!" Luo Ze'en shouted anxiously, but Gu Qingqiu obviously couldn't hear him.
The zombie's hand reached for Gu Qingqiu's head, tearing off her hair clip as well. However, the zombie knew that the hair clip was inedible, so it tossed it aside. After changing its perspective, Luo Ze'en clearly saw the miserable state of Gu Qingqiu's body.
Her stomach had been cut open, and her intestines and stomach could be vaguely seen. Her head had also been ripped open by the zombie. No matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem to have any signs of life.
Gu Qingqiu is dead... Thinking of this, Luo Ze'en felt a sharp pain in his heart. The scene in front of him gradually lost its luster. Under the intense emotional fluctuation, his superpower failed. When he opened his eyes, he was back in the cave.
His eyes were vacant, and he felt angina whenever he recalled what he had just witnessed.
Overwhelmed by anger, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes gradually losing their luster. He felt that humanity had no future.
Sure enough, two weeks later, the South Base was completely captured.
The zombie horde expanded again, sweeping across the rest of the human bases nationwide.
The number of zombies gradually surpassed the human population, and people came up with all sorts of ways to survive.
Some people would betray their companions or abandon their disabled companions in order to escape, while others would kill each other for a little food, resulting in many deaths.
The world is devastated, and the beautiful blue planet is no longer what it once was.
During a fight with the Zombie King, Lozen was so exhausted that he didn't notice the zombies that were quietly approaching from behind. He was hit on the wrist with a palm strike, and he even felt that his wrist was about to be torn off by the zombie.
Just then, a dripping sound suddenly came from Lozen's wrist, releasing some unknown gas, and the movements of the surrounding zombies became noticeably slower.
Lozen's gaze shifted to his wrists, where he noticed that the handcuffs, which had been tightly wrapped in red thread, had revealed their original form due to the intense struggle.
It turns out these weren't just handcuffs. When Lozen clicked on the handcuffs, a control panel appeared. It turned out that the automatic defense mode had been activated because the wrists had been attacked.
After quickly glancing at it, Luo Ze'en became increasingly silent. These handcuffs seemed to be truly meant to save his life, and the operation log clearly showed that the administrator had transferred the highest operation privileges. Counting back the time, it should have been the day Luo Ze'en and Gu Qingqiu parted ways.
It turns out she knew all along that she was doomed to die; it turns out that even in her dying moments, she was still thinking about how to save her own life…
Lozen felt both pain and relief in his heart, and the last bit of resentment he had left dissipated.
However, he discovered it too late.
Lozen has already been injured by the zombies; it's only a matter of time before he turns into one.
He lost confidence in continuing to fight for humanity. He quickly clicked on a few options, then closed his eyes in the encirclement of zombies.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion spread outwards from Lozen.
Silence fell. But he felt a sense of relief. So be it…
Strangely, Lozen was clearly aware that he was dead, yet his consciousness remained, and he did not feel any pain in his body.
Could it be that my superpower has taken effect? Can I survive in a spiritual form? But what's the point of living like this?
But when Lozen opened his eyes, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling. This was... the former home of the Thunder Squad.
With her heart pounding, Lozene vaguely realized something, quickly rolled out of bed, and stumbled open the door without even putting on her coat.
Shen Yiting was standing in front of the door, raising her hand to knock, when she was startled to see Luo Ze'en come out of the room. "What are you doing?"
"Shen Yiting? What are you still doing here?" Luo Ze'en asked instinctively, his voice a little loud.
As expected, Shen Yiting's expression changed upon hearing this. "What do you mean? I'm the vice-captain of Thunder! What's wrong with me being here? All I did was question your decision yesterday, why are you being so sarcastic?"
“…Yesterday?” Luo Ze'en suddenly grabbed Shen Yiting’s shoulders. “What’s the date today? Answer me! What’s the date today!”
Shen Yiting winced as she shook off Luo Ze'en's hand, her expression displeased. She glared fiercely at Luo Ze'en, pointed casually at the calendar in his room, and then immediately turned and left.
Luo Ze'en completely disregarded Chen Yiting's feelings. He ran to the calendar in the room like a madman and suddenly broke down in tears, unable to control his emotions.
That's great... This is five months before the zombie outbreak. Gu Qingqiu is still alive, and Shen Yiting hasn't been captured by the people from the South Base yet. There's still a chance for things to turn around.
Luo Ze'en kept recalling in his mind, and finally remembered that he and Shen Yiting had really had a big fight over the allocation of resources in the Thunder Squad. So now it must be the day after that argument.
There's still time... Luo Ze'en wished he could rush to the South Base immediately to confirm Gu Qingqiu's safety.
Calm down, calm down... If he rushes in now, he'll definitely be caught and controlled. He needs to find a reasonable excuse.
No! In that instant, Luo Ze'en thought of Gu Qingqiu's pregnant belly again.
He had to stop Gu Qingqiu from being with that strange man of unknown origin! Otherwise, if Gu Qingqiu got pregnant again, it would definitely affect her escape!
Yes! It's because I'm worried about her safety! Nothing else!
The thought of this made Lozen wish he could just attach a giant wing to his back and fly to the South Base.
Meanwhile...
"System, aren't you going to give me an explanation?" Gu Qingqiu's forehead twitched violently as she looked at the egg-shaped object the size of an ostrich egg that had appeared out of nowhere in front of her.
The male protagonist system felt wronged: [Host, I've done my best! The moment you died, I took all your life energy, but at that time the baby in your womb wasn't capable of surviving outside the womb, so I had to use a nurturing device with maternal functions to place the baby inside...]
Gu Qingqiu's expression softened slightly. "So you mean the baby is still alive? When will it hatch from the egg?"
The male protagonist system said awkwardly, "[That's hard to say. This item only has a function similar to a mother. It was previously used by other hosts to raise spirit pets. This is... the first time I've used it to raise a fetus...]"
Seeing Gu Qingqiu's face darken again, the male protagonist system immediately added: "[But I guarantee the fetus can survive inside! It's just that the birth time is hard to say!]"
