Qingli walked over and sat down.
Ye Shang casually pushed the grilled meat over, along with the dipping sauce.
Qingli picked up a piece with her chopsticks and ate it. Surprisingly, it was quite good; the meat was neither tough nor dry, just right.
There was a glass of refreshing juice next to him, and he picked up a pre-roasted corn, which also had a sweet taste.
"Is it good?" Ye Shang asked, propping his chin up with his hand and looking at him intently.
Qingli nodded vaguely: "Not bad."
Ye Shang noticed that his cheeks were bulging from eating, making him look like some kind of small animal, which was extremely cute.
She warmed the juice a little, inserted a straw, and held it to his lips, saying, "Don't choke."
Qingli took a sip, feeling a warm sensation in her stomach. "Ah Shang, you should eat too."
Ye Shang responded and began to eat as well.
After grilling the last skewer, Qingying flew into the sea with a whoosh. After spinning for a while, she shook off the moisture on her sword as she flew out, then flew back to the tent and stood quietly upright, the hilt of the sword resting against the edge of the tent.
As if taking a silent rest, it felt that killing enemies was not as tiring as roasting meat.
On the boundless seashore, by the islands, under a starless night sky and a pale crescent moon, they enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
The next day.
After packing up, the two set off again, and it wasn't until a day later that they returned to the southeast of the country, where they were still a long way from City A.
Ye Shang retracted Qingying into his dantian, then pulled Qingli aside and said, "The terrain is somewhat similar, but not entirely the same."
Qingli knew what she was looking for, but how could that be? Not only were the two worlds different, but there was no way there could be any trace of another place.
Despite thinking this way, he still followed her all the way.
Ye Shang didn't expect to find anything, but she wanted to know if this place could give her some inspiration.
The two landed above the city, where zombies still roamed below. They moved a little faster, but as long as they didn't regain consciousness, they still didn't have the instinct to leave this place.
The reason why high-level zombies can move freely is because they have awakened their own consciousness.
In fact, Ye Shang and the other person had discussed this kind of awakening. If they could fully awaken their human consciousness later, wouldn't that be another opportunity given by the world?
Continuous evolution through failures requires first experiencing life and death; only those who survive to the end become the ultimate advanced beings.
This is Ye Shang's own analysis. If that's the case, then what is the existence of zombies now?
Superhumans are high-level beings who have succeeded by following the world's mutations; zombies can also evolve into high-level beings.
In that case, should she still kill the zombies in the Flower Kingdom? She doesn't care about those abroad; as long as they don't invade, she won't destroy them.
She wasn't the kind of person who thought she was the only one who mattered; initially, all she wanted was to survive.
Since arriving in the territory of the Rainbow Stone Demon King, the frequent appearance of black holes gave her a feeling of being independent of the world.
As long as she doesn't die, she can assist in the evolution of the world; perhaps that's what the sect leader meant.
Even so, she still maintains that she will not carry out the purge as long as they do not attack human bases.
The country is vast, with a large population and many survivors, but even more zombies. Since the world has given them an alternative path, it means it has offered humanity a choice.
Ye Shang pulled Qing Li through the horde of zombies, heading towards the very center. She channeled her energy, sensing the surrounding area, and a powerful energy surge emanated from her.
Flying on a sword at the very top doesn't mean landing directly on the ground.
The passage she sensed was roughly here.
I don't know if there will be any information about the demon realm. If not, that's okay too.
For some reason, Qingli had a strange feeling as soon as he stepped into this place. He held Ye Shang's hand tightly and said, "Ah Shang, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Ye Shang turned to look at him: "Did you sense something?"
Qingli frowned and shook her head. "I'm not sure."
Seeing that he was alright, Ye Shang reassured him, "It's okay, I'm here."
Perhaps it really will?
However, the reality was not what she expected.
This city was known as the first ancient capital before the apocalypse, not only because of its rich historical and cultural atmosphere, but also because it has been passed down for thousands of years.
For humankind, thousands of years of evolution is already quite remarkable.
This city has maintained this cultural output for thousands of years, and it will not disappear from the world for any reason.
Ye Shang always made sure to stop at the highest point in every location she visited, believing that only by standing at the highest point could she see all directions.
This time was no exception; Qingying led them to the highest point in the city and landed there.
The tallest city here is still not as tall as the hundred-story buildings in Z city, but you can still see the city's obvious landmarks.
Qingli was always meticulous and quick to spot problems: "Ah Shang, something seems different about this place."
Ye Shang's voice was calm: "You figured it out?"
Qingli nodded: "Yes, the zombies are all acting strangely too."
Indeed, this place is home to a large number of zombies, but strangely, these zombies seem to be completely unaware of the presence of humans. Even though she and Qingli flew over, it's impossible that they wouldn't have noticed them at all.
As mentioned before, the ancient city was teeming with people, yet no high-level zombies appeared, while the zombies below still seemed to be wandering aimlessly.
They actually patrolled very regularly. Perhaps some zombies saw the two of them, but they seemed to be warned or ordered by a voice not to look up.
Most importantly, there were no signs of a fight or bloodstains. While the absence of signs of a fight is understandable, it's quite strange that a zombie would have no bloodstains.
This is very strange. How can someone keep their body clean without being enlightened?
Even though it's been almost three years since the apocalypse, it shouldn't be like this. Would they wash it away?
We're all just walking corpses; nobody cares if you're dirty or not, unless there's a direct order from someone of higher rank.
The desired result is achieved by issuing commands.
Ye Shang's face was expressionless, yet he gave off a strange sense of security, at least in Qing Li's eyes.
She calmly looked at the building not far away, her red lips slightly parted: "They've arrived."
Qingli also turned to look in the direction he sensed, her eyes narrowing as she looked at the few people standing not far away.
No, it should be called several zombies.
They are still very powerful high-level zombies, because their appearance and attire are basically exactly the same as normal people.
Why "basic"? Because their skin still retains some of the bluish-white color typical of zombies, but their physical functions and the way they stand are different from ordinary zombies, and they even appear to be much stronger than the high-level zombies we've eliminated before.
It's quite troublesome that it has evolved to this form in less than three years.
