A bold guess suddenly popped into Shi Xi's mind.
If Song Guizhou isn't the Zombie King, then there's only one possibility left.
This possibility could precisely explain the question that had always lingered in his mind—
Why did Yu Jiu'an, who was staying at the training base, suddenly leave and be killed by zombies?
Because he discovered that he was the zombie king.
Shi Xi guessed that in the laboratory, the person closest to the bottle of virus was not Song Guizhou, but Yu Jiu'an.
So it's not that he didn't develop superpowers, but rather that he became the Zombie King.
However, Song Guizhou used his healing abilities to cover for him, and since he was naturally weak, staying in the sanatorium did not arouse any suspicion.
In fact, the reason he was still in the sanatorium when the zombie outbreak occurred was not because his physical condition was poor, but because he was leveling up.
At the time, he pretended to ask Si Beiling for help for Song Guizhou. The reason why the zombie horde did not attack him and even gave way to him was because they sensed the aura of the zombie king on his body.
Perhaps Yu Jiu'an in the original story accidentally learned the truth, couldn't accept it, and didn't want to drag Song Guizhou and Si Beiling down, so he chose to leave on his own initiative.
No wonder he's a devoted supporting male character.
Si Beiling saw that Tang Jue was in a daze after Shi Xi finished testing him. He looked at Tang Jue and found that the other party was staring at the back of his hand thoughtfully.
Si Beiling wanted to speak, hesitated for a second, but ultimately did not speak. He simply took Shi Xi and bid farewell to Tang Jue.
Shi Xi is currently discussing with Ganmaoling (a cold medicine).
"Since I'm the Zombie King, how do I escape this little world?" Shi Xi asked. "Those zombies are as cowardly as quails when they encounter me. Would they dare to kill me?"
According to the plot, he was supposed to be killed by zombies, but that's impossible given the current situation.
If he were to follow the plot strictly, he would probably be trapped in this small world.
Thinking of this, Shi Xi discussed with Ganmaoling, "How about... we change the world's background?"
【No way!】The fennec fox immediately and without hesitation refused. 【The world setting is fixed; how can it be changed arbitrarily?!】
Shi Xi's lips curled into a smile. "Cold Relief, you don't want to be stuck here with me for the rest of your life, do you?"
What?! We have to work overtime?!
Damn it!!
Upon hearing this, the fennec fox's eyes widened. After hesitating for a long time, it tentatively spoke.
【……what you up to? 】
"Let's open the time travel space again," Shi Xi said.
This mission clearly has a bug, and the department should agree to his request.
[I'll report this to the bureau and see how they respond.] (Ear fern)
"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." Shi Xi waved to the cold medicine in her heart.
Si Beiling pulled Shi Xi's arm as they walked down the road. After finishing her conversation with Ganmaoling, Shi Xi looked up at Si Beiling.
Yu's father chose Si Beiling to take over the training base because if one day someone discovered that he was the zombie king, only Si Beiling could protect him.
Si Beiling didn't understand why he was suddenly looking at him. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Shi Xi shook her head, smiled, and said, "I just feel like I really made the right choice in latching onto this powerful figure."
Si Beiling paused for a second upon hearing this, taking it as a compliment. He looked at Shi Xi half-jokingly and said, "Since you've chosen the right one, then keep holding on."
Shi Xi simply smiled and didn't say anything.
As the two were nearing home, they ran into Song Guizhou, who looked exhausted. Upon seeing Shi Xi, Song Guizhou naturally walked over to his side.
"Are you done with your work?" Shi Xi asked Song Guizhou.
Si Beiling draped his coat over his arm and turned to look at Song Guizhou when he heard Shi Xi's question.
"Mmm." Song Guizhou seemed genuinely exhausted. She glanced at him, then hugged Shi Xi's arm tightly. "All done?"
Si Beiling's expression froze for a moment.
It really wasn't Song Guizhou.
Shi Xi stopped and watched Si Beiling walk to her small building. A few meters away, she said, "See you next time, Brother Si."
Si Beiling nodded and entered the room.
Perhaps they had something to talk about, because the curtains in the building next door were drawn tightly shut.
Si Beiling sat on the sofa.
Captain Zheng sat beside him and reported on the recent situation at the training base. Si Beiling looked down at the red ribbon and remained silent for a long time.
Only after Captain Zheng stopped did Si Beiling speak, "This is fine."
"Indeed." Thinking he was referring to the recent calm at the base, Captain Zheng nodded. "It would be good if things could stay this way."
Because of the reputation of Sibei Ridge, countless superhumans have flocked to the Training Wind Base. Recently, the Training Wind Base has been developing rapidly and is showing signs of becoming a major base.
The larger the base, the more superpowered individuals and ordinary people it can protect. I just don't know when this damn apocalypse will end.
He had almost forgotten what fresh air tasted like.
After speaking, Captain Zheng noticed the red ribbon in Si Beiling's hand. Having spent some time together, the two had developed a fairly good relationship, so he jokingly asked, "Planning to give it away?"
\"no.\"
"He gave it to me."
Captain Zheng was surprised.
Seeing how much Si Beiling loved it, he figured he must also like the person who gave him the ribbon. Curious, he asked, "Why aren't you together?"
Could it be that this person... has passed away?
Seemingly guessing what he was thinking, Si Beiling glanced at him and said, "He told me it was a secret."
Captain Zheng thought to himself, "Isn't this just that person having feelings for you but being too shy to say it directly, waiting for you to make the first move?"
But he couldn't say it directly, so he could only suggest tactfully, "Why don't you go and ask?"
"I asked." Si Beiling put away the ribbon, a faint red glow emanating from the back of his neck. "He said he would give me an answer."
\"when?\"
\"after.\"
"Huh?" Captain Zheng paused for a few seconds, then stood up in surprise: "You've encountered a romance scammer?"
Who dares to toy with Si Beiling's feelings?!
"Shut up." Si Beiling frowned, extremely dissatisfied with his words. "Don't talk nonsense, he's not that kind of person."
Captain Zheng: "…………" Hehe, hopelessly in love.
...
Shi Xi was unaware that she had become a con artist in a romantic relationship.
The room was dimly lit. He put down the file in his hand and was about to sit down when he saw Song Guizhou squatting on the sofa, stretching out his arms for a hug.
Shi Xi pretended not to see it and sat down next to him.
This child is hiding far too many things from him.
"Brother Xiao An," Song Guizhou said, his voice slightly hoarse, looking at Shi Xi, "you haven't had your treatment today yet."
Shi Xi looked at him. "What have you been busy with lately?"
He certainly remembered that he had entrusted Yu's father to Song Guizhou's care, and he could roughly guess what Song Guizhou was busy with.
In the story, Yu's father committed suicide by shooting himself, but no one ever saw his body.
Song Guizhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Preparing a surprise."
"Brother Xiao An, I need a reward."
"Just a little bit will do."
He looked at Shi Xi with an undisguised longing in his eyes, as if he were the one who needed treatment, not Shi Xi.
Shi Xi leaned back on the sofa, looked at him for a moment, and then said, "Come here yourself."
