Shi Xi returned to the small villa, just as Song Guizhou was being called away to help.
Shi Xi had arranged to have dinner with Si Beiling, and since there was still a long time, she decided to go out for a walk.
"I'm going to take a look around."
The security at the Wind Taming Base is decent. Although it's not as safe as it was before the apocalypse, it's relatively safe during the day, but that only applies to the streets.
Hearing Shi Xi's words, Song Guizhou instinctively wanted to refuse, but then felt it wouldn't be right. After a two-second pause, he took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and said to Shi Xi, "Xiao An, you haven't taken your medicine for today."
Shi Xi glanced at it and realized it was the medicine he took every day to nourish his body.
He took the medicine, swallowed one pill, and then disappeared from Song Guizhou's sight.
...
Shi Xi strolled along, and halfway there, she encountered three people. These people had bruises on their faces and looked like they had just been in a fight, but they had lost and were being beaten to a pulp.
Upon seeing Shi Xi, the three of them felt a tightness in their chrysanthemums, their expressions became somewhat unnatural, and they hurriedly fled.
Without a second's hesitation, he ran faster than a rabbit.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Shi Xi beat them up into this pig-like state.
"……?" Shi Xi looked completely bewildered.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then remembered where he had seen these people before—
They were the ones making sarcastic remarks at the sanatorium.
This guy probably got into trouble with someone he shouldn't have, and got a lesson for it.
Shi Xi made an irresponsible guess in her heart.
He didn't dwell on the little incident and continued pondering as he moved forward.
This zombie horde at the Wind Taming Base is much larger than previous hordes, which means—
The Zombie King has leveled up!
Like human superhumans, the Zombie King is the highest-ranking zombie.
The higher the level of the zombie king, the stronger its control over zombies, and the more zombies it can command.
Unfortunately, the original storyline didn't provide a single hint, making this side quest quite challenging to find the Zombie King under these circumstances.
As Shi Xi's thoughts were wandering, she suddenly heard a male voice coming from the alley—
\"Grass!\"
"That Tang Jue is a coward!"
The speaker was a thin man with a shifty face. He was talking to a middle-aged superhuman, and his expression showed some anger, but more of a cautiousness to avoid angering the other person.
"Boss, I've tried everything, from pleading to cajoling, but Tang Jue just won't make a move!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Shi Xi stopped in her tracks, took a half step back, and hid behind the wall.
If the people inside found out they overheard their conversation, they might get into some serious trouble.
It wouldn't be good if it delayed his progress in the storyline.
"Hmph, since he's so shameless," the middle-aged superhuman's sinister voice rang out after a few seconds, "then kill him and frame Si Beiling."
Shi Xi remained silent.
Are villains these days so clear about what they're doing when they commit evil deeds?
It felt like he was afraid his subordinates wouldn't understand what he meant.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The thin man showered Tang Jue with compliments and then berated him for being stubborn and unyielding; he deserved his fate.
The two then imagined their future together, the glorious days when they would be the undisputed rulers of the Wind Taming Base.
He said he would train him properly, so that Si Beiling would fawn over him and follow his every command.
"..." You guys really dare to think.
After another round of meaningless flattery, the two finally ended their conversation and left the alley, satisfied.
"..." These two talk too much nonsense.
Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately feeling much quieter.
Realizing he was in a dangerous place, he decided to leave quickly, but just as he took a step, he heard footsteps again, along with an impatient voice—
"Stop dreaming, I can't help you anymore."
"Don't forget we're roommates!"
The latter's voice sounded familiar; Shi Xi recognized it as Wei Yousi.
He raised an eyebrow. What a small world! He never expected to run into his enemy here.
Upon hearing the word "roommate" and recalling Si Beiling's words, Shi Xi guessed that the other person was Xue Yushang.
"They're just roommates," Xue Yushang said in the alley. "Wei Yousi, you've crossed the line."
"..." Shi Xi listened and pondered for a moment.
The relationship between Xue Yushang and Wei Yousi is not as rumored, and judging from Xue Yushang's tone, the two are probably going to have a falling out today.
"Please help me just this once, I promise, this is the last time!"
"That's what you said last time when you asked me to give you my spot."
Xue Yushang looked down at Wei Yousi, wondering how he could be so self-righteous as to tell him to teach Yu Jiu'an a lesson.
He comes to him to complain after losing face in public, and I don't know where he gets the confidence that he will definitely help him.
Back in school, Wei Yousi disliked the dormitory because it was too simple and never stayed there for more than two days. The two didn't have any relationship.
How come they become best buddies as soon as the apocalypse arrives?
I only helped him a few times because he was my roommate, but he only became more and more unreasonable and took advantage of me.
"Wei Yousi, don't think I don't know where these rumors are coming from." Xue Yushang gave Wei Yousi a deep look, and then lightning suddenly and uncontrollably enveloped his body.
Realizing that this was a sign that he was about to break through, Xue and Shang decided to go back.
His residence was not far from here, just in time to get back to his territory before he lost consciousness.
Wei Yousi seemed to realize this as well, her expression changed, and she grabbed the man's wrist.
"Xue Yushang, you don't want to fail either, do you?"
"?" Shi Xi was completely confused.
Why did the topic suddenly change?
"I only have one request: help me and I'll take you back; if you don't..."
The threat posed by his words was obvious: if a superhuman is interfered with during their breakthrough, the chances of failure are extremely high.
Wei Yousi was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
Shi Xi stepped forward, her tone cold and indifferent.
Wei Yousi saw him, her expression showing surprise for a moment, then she looked at Xue Yushang and said, "Hit him."
Xue Yushang merely glanced at him with icy eyes and made no move.
Shi Xi pointed to the tip of her nose. "Did you hit me?"
"Personal grudges, why are you involving your parents? How childish of you," Shi Xi said to Wei Yousi.
Wei Yousi has a baby face, but he's 1.8 meters tall with 10cm shoe inserts, and he hates it when people say he's childish.
Moreover, he and Xue Yushang are the same age.
Shi Xi has hit a nerve!
"Bullshit, who called the parents!"
Yu Jiu'an is a sickly man, how could he not be able to handle him?!
"Yu Jiu'an, you just wait!" After uttering these harsh words, Wei Yousi disappeared without a trace.
...Did he kick a cotton ball?
This sentence suddenly popped into Shi Xi's head.
