Qiao Qiu was completely unaware that Luo Lin had come looking for her; she was preoccupied with monitoring the research results. This world had reached its end. She had investigated and found that during her seclusion, apart from the four major cities in the east, west, south, and north, almost the entire world had been covered by the virus.
Su Xi told her that even if everyone turned into zombies, humanity would still perish.
Because there is no food, there is no bloodline to continue.
Although the mutated beasts can continue to exist, they will eventually perish due to lack of food.
Qiao Qiu lay on the table, biting her pen. "Humans and animals have mutated, so why haven't plants mutated yet?" This doesn't make any sense.
Su Xi couldn't tell her about this, and it didn't know why either.
Qiao Qiu turned to look at it, "Su Xi, do you have a lot of zombie subordinates?"
Su Xi nodded.
“I’m stationed in the southern part of the city and can’t go out to look for mutated plants myself. The zombies have a wider range of activity. Can you ask them to help me look for them?” Qiao Qiu stared at it with sincere eyes.
Su Xi nodded again, looking very obedient, "Okay."
Qiao Qiu was so moved that she couldn't help but want to kiss it, and she actually did.
Su Xi was stunned by her kiss and turned around and left in a daze. When she came to her senses, she was already standing outside the South City.
It touched its face and sighed.
Then he took out his flute and began playing a tune to summon the zombie king.
A moment later, Feng Yi appeared in front of it.
Feng Yi was very unhappy, his face sour, "Don't ask me to help her again, I won't help."
Su Xi looked at him calmly, her gaze sharp. "Do you think you can just say no?"
Feng Yi naturally dared not disobey its orders, but...
"My master, can't you listen to a single piece of advice from your subordinate?" Feng Yi felt like it had worn its lips out, but in the end, it still couldn't sway its mind.
It cannot enter the South City, nor can it talk to the City Lord Fengyin while avoiding the Emperor.
Su Xi said with a cold face, "I've already thought it through. Living for a hundred years is enough."
Feng Yi was very excited, "But you don't have a hundred years left, while she has a very long time to go!"
"So what?" Su Xi remained unmoved.
"What? Don't you understand yet? She only treats you like a child, like a younger brother. You're not an adult. Your feelings can't compare to hers. Are you happy like this? The City Lord of Fengyin is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. There are plenty of suitable men for her. She won't marry the young masters of several cities. One day she will meet the person she loves. Do you want to watch her get married?"
These words pierced Su Xi's heart. Feng Yin had someone she liked, and she had always known that, but that person had never appeared.
If he appeared, Su Xi was certain that Feng Yin would be with him without hesitation.
Can it really watch her fall in love with someone else and grow old together?
The answer is no.
Seeing that it was wavering, Feng Yi continued, "Xi, don't hesitate any longer. You yourself said that her superpower level has reached level nine. With such powerful strength, she can definitely withstand it. Losing a hundred years of lifespan is just the lifespan of an ordinary person. You are different. You are cursed by zombies. Not only will your appearance be permanently imprisoned, but after a hundred years, your soul will also be imprisoned in your body, never to be reborn."
"Look at us zombie kings, even Bai Wei has broken the zombie curse, you're the only one left, don't hesitate any longer."
Su Xi's expression grew colder and colder. It didn't want to be so selfish as to hurt her, but it also didn't want to watch her marry someone else.
"I'll think about this matter some more."
"Yes." Feng Yi stopped trying to persuade him. It knew that Huang understood all the reasons, but he was struggling internally. It wasn't outwardly apparent, but he must be in great pain inside.
Su Xi handed the task over to it, then turned around and walked step by step toward the South City.
Qiao Qiu lifted the forbidden spell on it, allowing it to freely enter and exit the barrier. In the past, it would have been so successful that it could have gained the trust of a city lord.
It must have been delighted then, eager to turn the city into ruins. Because it was so dazzling, and the people inside all seemed so happy.
Qiao Qiu stood in the laboratory, wearing a white lab coat and a mask, staring at Bai Wei inside the glass-enclosed space, her mind filled with thoughts.
A researcher, over fifty years old, looked up at her, put down his instrument, told his assistant not to touch it, and walked towards her with a kind smile. "The city lord has been standing here for two hours. Has she reached any conclusions?"
All the scientists in the laboratory were very grateful to this city lord. In this apocalyptic world, only she understood their importance.
"It's hard to say what the conclusion will be, but in short, it's a menace. Even after you succeed, I can't let it go." This was Qiao Qiu's truest thought.
Bai Wei is wicked and is the female lead of this world. If she weren't connected to this world, she would want to kill her right now.
The veteran researcher chuckled, “Why does the city lord need to think that way? She’s just being controlled by the zombie virus. As long as we develop a vaccine and cure her, she can be like a normal person again.”
Qiao Qiu looked at him and asked, "Do you really think so? What are zombies? They are mutated from people who have been dead for a long time. Detoxifying the zombie virus is like sending them to their death, not returning them to normal people."
The veteran researcher still smiled and said, "But we should try to kill zombies that still have a mind. Perhaps they are not completely dead, but just controlled by the virus and unable to break free."
"What did you say?!" Qiao Qiu's heart skipped a beat.
“If I’m not mistaken, the child following the city lord is not quite like a normal person.” The old researcher remained calm and composed. “The city lord wants to save him but doesn’t know how. We are just one of the ways to do it.”
You're right.
Seeing her readily admit it, the senior researcher smiled and nodded. "May I ask, is he your younger brother?"
Qiao Qiu shook her head. "No. I guess you could say I found it. It once had thoughts of harming people. But it still has a conscience. Just because I reminded it of its mother's love for it, it was willing to let me go. If it can be saved and its inner conflict is resolved, given time, it will definitely be a very popular child."
"It is a blessing for the people that the city lord has such a magnanimous heart. The city lord can also try to accept this woman with a magnanimous heart. Human nature is inherently good. As long as she is properly guided, she will surely become a kind and good citizen in the future."
Qiao Qiu raised an eyebrow. She had to admit that those who did scientific research really did have the heart of a saint, full of responsibility and love for all things in the world.
I believe that this is precisely why they have been able to achieve even greater success.
But it's impossible for her to do that. She's an ordinary person, capable of selfishness. Asking her to be selfless? Maybe in her next life.
