Chapter 230 Questioning in the House

Cheng Jingyi blinked his eyes, his throat choked, and he was almost speechless as he looked at Shen Yisui's eyebrows.

When you get compliments, you should smile to show your humility, but now Cheng Jingyi is sitting opposite Shen Yisui, and he can't smile after all.

"... Actually, you were very cute when you were little, I remember that." Cheng Jingyi rolled his eyes, "I was lying to you just now."

Shen Yisui raised his eyelids: "Really? Am I not Chao Xiong?"

Cheng Jingyi: “…”

"Humph." Shen Yisui didn't care about Cheng Jingyi's excuses. He covered his cheeks, as if he didn't care much: "Did Shen Heng leave?"

"They are still in the room opposite." Cheng Jingyi stood up, pulled Shen Yisui up, and said, "We can't stay here anymore. Let's go to the base camp as soon as possible before the rest of the army arrives."

Shen Yisui estimated the current time and found that there were still nearly two months before the zombie tide arrived, so they could not afford to waste any more time here.

"Okay." Shen Yisui felt the hard touch on his palm and tilted his head to ask, "What did you stuff into me?"

"Crystal core." Cheng Jingyi said simply and clearly. He glanced at the heart that was about to fall out of Shen Yisui's chest, and said with a sigh, "I have saved some recently, which should be able to fill the hole in your chest. Don't you want your heart anymore?"

Shen Yisui lowered his head upon hearing this. He touched his exposed heart and used his hand to stuff it back into the broken flesh.

"But I'm already dead, and even if I'm replaced, I'll just be a corpse."

"That's better than what you have now." Cheng Jingyi pulled up Shen Yisui's coat and said, "Anyway, I'm going to fix you in the future."

Shen Yisui paused, then smiled and said, "What you said... I'm not a robot."

"If you were a robot, I would save some energy." Cheng Jingyi crushed the crystal core, and the power inside emerged. Soon, it all flowed into Shen Yisui's body through the air.

Shen Yisui felt the warmth in his chest. He clenched his palms, and clearly felt that the condition of his body was slowly getting better.

As long as he survives the next wave of zombies, he will be reborn in a brand new and intact body.

Shen Yisui thought about it and said to Cheng Jingyi, "I will be fine in the future. I am getting better now."

Cheng Jingyi laughed: "I hope so. After all, I don't want to sleep with a corpse."

Shen Yisui: "..."

Cheng Jingyi always spoke so bluntly and without much reserve. Shen Yisui's pupils moved and he said, "But before I leave, I want to see Shen Heng again."

Cheng Jingyi looked at him: "Why?"

"For..." Shen Yisui paused, and then he remembered something and said sarcastically, "For Shen Yisui."

After Shen Heng returned, he went to the separate small compartment where he lived. The furniture in the building had been damaged, and the room he lived in now was considered the best in the building.

The people who were traveling with him naturally left this room for him.

"Shen Heng."

Lu Ran called out from behind Shen Heng. Shen Heng heard the voice, turned around and asked, "Adjutant, what's wrong?"

Lu Ran looked at him, his expression still calm: "Can you show me the chip in your hand?"

Shen Heng's heart suddenly stagnated when he heard this. He clenched the chip in his hand and smiled at Lu Ran: "Adjutant, what do you want this for? This thing belongs to a friend of mine. I plan to take it back and return it to him."

"...It's just related to a case." Lu Ran saw Shen Heng put his arms behind his back and understood what he meant in a moment.

He did not force Shen Heng, but simply gave a brief account of the situation: "I found a diary among Dr. Lu Yu'an's belongings, which also recorded some information about human body chips. I see that the one in your hand is very similar to what he recorded."

Dr. Lu Yu-an was pushed down from a tall building by a zombie several years ago and fell to his death. They have not caught the zombie yet, and they don't know the zombie's intention to kill Lu Yu-an.

Lu Ran noticed something strange when he first took over the case. A zombie would often use supernatural powers or bite off the neck of a person to achieve its own goals, rather than pushing a person from a high altitude.

This approach seems to be an attempt to cover up one's mistake but make it more obvious.

"Doctor Lu Yu'an?" Shen Heng frowned slightly when he heard the name. He suddenly sneered and spoke to Lu Ran.

"Adjutant, this doctor is a well-known quack. He has done many experiments on living people. As for the things recorded in his diary... you can't believe it, right?"

Lu Ran's expression changed slightly. He was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Shen Heng: "This chip belongs to my friend. If the adjutant wants it, I will go back and ask him. If he agrees, I will give it to you."

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, and Shen Yisui stood at a corner not far from him. The shadow of the house hung down, enveloping him.

"...Okay." Lu Ran hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to Shen Heng's request.

Before he left, he looked back and said, "Go to bed early. The two zombies are still across from you, be careful."

Shen Heng said nothing more. After listening to Lu Ran's words, he turned around and closed the door.

Everyone standing outside was isolated. Shen Heng stood inside the house with his back against the wooden door. He raised his head and closed his eyes tiredly.

"You know he is not Shen Yisui...right?" Shen Heng's voice echoed in the room. There was no one else in the room except him. He lowered his voice as if he was just talking to the air.

[……Yes.]

After an unknown amount of time, the mechanical sound of the colored balls floated out from the room.

Shen Heng subconsciously clenched his palms upon hearing this. His uncut long nails pierced the skin and sank deep into the soft flesh. Shen Heng seemed to be unaware of the pain. His eyes were dry and he continued to ask, "He is Shen Cheng, right?"

[Yes.]

The mechanical sound of the colored balls is still steady.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shen Heng took a deep breath, and he looked at the colored ball, with some resentment in his eyes for some reason.

"You knew all this, why didn't you tell me?! I've done so much over the years, and you're just playing tricks on me?!"

The colorful ball trembled, and it flew around Shen Heng hesitantly. The mechanical sound was particularly strong with a cautious and tentative flavor.

[Because I don’t know where Shen Yisui is.]

"...Ha." Shen Heng laughed as if he was angry. "What's the connection between you not knowing where Shen Yisui is and not telling me that it was Shen Cheng? You have been lying to me and playing tricks on me..."

[No.]

The colorful ball shuddered, as if it was trying to guard against something, so it covered its body and hid to one side.

[I just don’t want you to think I’m useless, and I don’t want you to look down on me.]
