Chapter 286: Extra Zombie Travels: The Savior and the Little Qilin
Rong Zhen couldn't imagine how many people out there were who had precognitive dreams and were as ambitious as Zhang Chengyan.
The original owner should be thankful that she came early, otherwise her fate would definitely not be good.
You know, sometimes death is the best relief.
"Okay, I understand, you can go die now." Rong Zhen just threw it away after using it, and he has no credibility at all.
Zhang Chengyan was shocked: "You are the savior!" How can you go back on your word and not keep your promise?
If he hadn't trusted her as a savior, would he have answered her questions? He was thinking that since the assassination attempt had failed, he might as well use the opportunity to mend relations and improve his impression before waiting for another opportunity.
Who would have thought that after getting the answer he wanted, the other party would turn against him on the spot!
Rong Zhen took a step forward and was exposed to the moonlight. The crimson light made her face, which was different from that of a human, look strange and mysterious. Her gray eyes, which were different from those of a human, revealed her true identity.
"Thanks to you, the future savior has become a zombie. Do you think I can let you go?"
"you?!"
Zhang Chengyan suddenly realized what was happening, and then, in despair, his strength was exhausted, and he fell to the tireless zombies, becoming meat in their mouths. Blood splattered everywhere, appearing even more magnificent in the moonlight.
The smell of blood filled the entire room, quickly attracting more zombies to break in. The zombies downstairs also gradually became more agile and tried to climb up the stairs and climb through the windows.
Rong Zhen slipped out before the zombies arrived, mixed into the large group and went straight to the top floor.
The majority of the group was looking for people in hiding, following the scent of humans, while Rongzhen went to the top floor to bask in the moonlight.
She has discovered the effect of the red moon on zombies. It seems to be beneficial and should not be missed.
If the original owner was still human when she came, perhaps she would have to consider how to save the world.
But now, her head follows her butt. She is now on the side of the zombies. It is good enough that she does not harm humans together with other zombies. Don't expect her to endure humiliation and beg on her knees to save humans.
Now that the original owner's wish has almost been fulfilled, Rong Zhen is thinking more about whether he can evolve into a new human being from a zombie body.
There is such a setting in some apocalyptic novels. Sentient zombies like her can eventually return to normal through evolution and become new humans.
If you can facilitate and achieve this, you might get more rewards.
Rongzhen was unwilling to just leave with the basic points for the mission, so he decided to stay and give it a try.
After basking in the moonlight for a whole night, she felt that her body was indeed a little more flexible than before, and she wanted to continue basking in the moonlight. However, the rescue army came and while rescuing the survivors in the building, they also wanted to clean up all the zombies upstairs and downstairs.
Rongzhen didn't want to fight against the human army, so he took advantage of the chaos and slipped away to find the next suitable place to bask in the moonlight.
Unfortunately, the moon returned to normal the next day, and the red moon no longer had the effect on the zombies.
Rongzhen regretfully stopped his silly act of basking in the moonlight and chose to attack his own kind.
Crystal core, crystal core, where is the crystal core?
After wandering around that area for a week, Rong Zhen still couldn't find any trace of the crystal core in the zombie's head. He guessed that it might not be the right time, or the place he chose was not right.
So she began a long journey as a corpse in the apocalypse, with the main purpose of finding crystal cores to promote her own evolution, and enjoying the scenery along the way and seeing the diversity of the world as a secondary need, going wherever she went.
During this period, we met many teams of survivors, many of whom had had precognitive dreams and had ill will towards the original owners and wanted to replace them.
In cases like this, Rongzhen would usually try to catch them after confirming their identities, and deliberately flash out of their sight. She would not let go of anyone who dared to catch up and commit crimes. She would not do anything to those who acted cautiously, or had the intention but not the courage, or only had malicious intentions but did not take action.
If there are stronger ones among them and Rongzhen feels that she cannot defeat them, she will not be stubborn and insist on provoking them. Everyone goes their own way and does not interfere with each other.
For more than a year, Rongzhen wandered from the south to the north like a corpse, worried that if she stayed in the warm south for too long, the flesh on her body would rot before she could successfully evolve.
So after much consideration, she decided to come to the north to cool down first.
The day we arrived in the north, it was snowing. The zombies were all sleeping under the ice and snow, and it was time for humans to fight back.
Rongzhen changed into thick warm clothes and wrapped herself tightly from head to toe. Since she could speak without any problems, she was not afraid of being recognized if she met someone.
Here, she discovered several people who had had precognitive dreams, but unfortunately she never met the guy who took away the original owner's jade pendant space.
Although neither she nor the original owner knew who it was, as long as they found out who was using it, they would know who had taken it away.
Rong Zhen has a small portable world given by Master Wu Chen, so she is not very interested in a jade pendant space, but that also belongs to the original owner.
Taking something without asking is stealing and must be taken back.
It doesn’t matter whether it is handed over, given to others, or integrated with this world, as long as those who have foresight cannot get any benefit.
They might have been helpers found by some beings for the original owner, but what was the result?
Since you are not willing to help, then don't take advantage of the original owner!
Wandering along the way, Rong Zhen unknowingly arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and heard the humans who went out to hunt zombies talking about the legends of the mountain.
Thinking of the rumors about this mountain in some literary works, she suddenly felt an urge to go up the mountain and explore.
Now that she's here, and she has a zombie body that can't be frozen, it would be a shame not to go up.
Maybe there are those legendary things on it that can help her achieve her goal of evolution.
If not, just take the risk and climb the snow-capped mountains.
Snowy mountains are difficult to climb, especially when it is snowing heavily.
Rong Zhen's body was walking with difficulty on the snowy mountain, and finally he even crawled forward slowly. After an unknown amount of time, his feet felt empty and he fell into a cave.
The moment she fell, she felt like she was courting death.
But the effect of her suicidal act was very significant. She turned a disaster into a blessing and found the place she wanted.
Her guess was confirmed; there really was a hidden treasure on the mountain!
Rongzhen excitedly checked her arms and legs, and after finding that there was no damage, she couldn't wait to get up and explore.
This seems to be a naturally formed cave with a narrow entrance but a vast space inside.
The place where Rong Zhen fell was the closest to the cave entrance, only three or four meters high, but the further in he went, the higher the cave floor was from the top, and the highest point was as high as dozens of stories.
Rongzhen guessed that going in from here would mean heading into the belly of the mountain, which might be dangerous. Should she go in?
As I said, since she is here, and she is a corpse, her properties are probably similar to those of the things inside, so who is afraid of who?
Anyway, I have already earned the basic points, so I am not afraid of death.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Rong Zhen did not hesitate, brushed off the snow on his clothes, and slowly went deeper.
She has plenty of time. Wanting to take risks doesn't mean she will act rashly. Caution is still necessary. If you can avoid death, don't die early.
After passing the highest cave, the front gradually became narrower and lower, and some things began to appear hanging on the stone walls above and on both sides. They looked like bats, but were much larger than bats. Their color was not black like a bat, but grayish white, a bit like the color of Rong Zhen's pupils now.
Because of the cold weather, those things were hanging there without any movement. They might be dead or hibernating.
Rongzhen walked lightly as she passed by, trying not to disturb them as much as possible.
Thankfully, she was a corpse, so she passed through without breathing, and without alerting the large creatures that might have been alive.
After passing through them, what appeared in front of us was an alley, about two meters high and wide, dark and deep, and no one knew where it led to.
Having come this far, Rongzhen will definitely not retreat.
She continued to move forward. As soon as she stepped onto the stone bricks in the alley, the candle lamps embedded in the walls on both sides suddenly lit up. The lights were lit from the entrance to the inside one by one, like a fire dragon suddenly awakened by an intruder.
Rongzhen was surprised for a moment, and took it as an invitation, without stopping at all.
Going deeper into the alley, she came to a cliff. The cliff in the mountain was quite strange. On the top was a stone wall with many small and big cute creatures hanging on it. It was surrounded by thick chains of unknown purpose. Across the bottomless cliff, she could see a mechanical door on the opposite side.
If Rongzhen wanted to move forward, he would have to find a way to get through first and then open the mechanism door.
Because there is no other way to go.
At this point, she was no longer just interested, but could clearly feel that something deeper was attracting her.
What does this mean? It means her chance for a big harvest is right here, so what are she waiting for? Go go go!
Relying on his immortal body, Rong Zhen rushed in without fear, found a way to cross the cliff, racked his brains to open the mechanism door, and finally came to a larger cave.
There are cracks in the cave ceiling, which let in a few rays of sunlight, illuminating the situation inside the cave so that its general appearance can be vaguely seen.
Because he could see it, Rongzhen almost gasped in shock at the scene before him.
Oh, she is a corpse now and can't breathe.
However, the circulation of air seemed to have awakened the guardians in the cave. Amidst a strange chirping sound, the species hanging or hiding in the mountain walls, crevices or corners began to open their eyes.
Rongzhen sensed the danger and stood still, secretly on guard.
The next moment, a huge bone-spur bird suddenly flew down from the top of the cave and found her in front of her following the direction of the air flow.
"Chigu?" The bone spur bird stared down at her for a while with its gray eyes, and then met her equally gray eyes for a moment. It seemed that it did not notice anything unusual, and turned around and flew back.
The big birds that had opened their eyes then calmed down, clung to the rock wall and returned to sleep.
Before Rongzhen could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge and strange monkey appeared in front of him.
The monkey has no eyes or nose, only a big mouth, and when it opens, it reveals a tongue with a child's face.
The tongue stretched out and reached towards Rongzhen. The eyes on the little face opened, revealing a pair of black eyes without whites. It looked in her direction and sniffed around with its nose, which was enough to scare people half to death.
"Jigu!" The child cried out in disappointment after sniffing the monkey's face, then closed his eyes and was taken back by the monkey.
Rongzhen was on guard the whole time, but ended up being on guard in vain.
The two groups of guys probably realized that she was a corpse. They had no interest in her at all and even looked disgusted, but they didn't stop her from tentatively moving forward.
Maybe he treated her as one of the same kind. After all, none of us are normal species.
Rongzhen didn't know whether they had existed before or appeared after the end of the world, but she couldn't stop herself from wanting to go in and find out.
After overcoming countless obstacles, she finally arrived at the huge bronze gate that was blocked by many monsters.
Rongzhen was somewhat excited when she saw this legendary gate.
Since it exists, is what is behind the door the same as I imagined?
Rongzhen was secretly looking forward to it and tried knocking on the door.
She couldn't push the door open and didn't have the key, so she could only try this first.
There were crisp knocks on the door, but there was no response. The monsters that had returned to normal suddenly opened their eyes again and looked at Rongzhen.
To be precise, they all looked at the huge bronze gate, as if waiting for something, and began to become restless and irritable.
Rongzhen noticed this change and felt that there was something fishy going on.
Before she could continue knocking on the door, it creaked open a crack, and a cool breeze blew in, making Rong Zhen feel so comfortable all over. Her evolution rate, which had been stagnant for a long time, soared wildly, a thousand times more powerful than the red moon, making her stiff zombie body quickly soften and strengthen.
Just for this benefit, this expedition is worth it!
Even more fortunate was what happened next. After the door opened, a sleepy little unicorn squeezed out from inside, shaking its lazy body and yawning as it asked, "Who knocked on the door? Is it time yet?"
Rongzhen took a deep breath when he saw it, raised his hand and replied: "Well, I was the one who knocked on the door."
As for whether it was time or not, how could she know? Judging from the situation outside, it should be time.
After all, things have become like that. If no measures are taken, the world will probably experience another major reshuffle of species.
After that, she took another deep breath, taking as many as she could while she had the chance.
When the little Qilin heard her words, he suddenly opened his sleepy eyes and woke up completely.
"Human?" It circled around her and concluded without Rongzhen needing to answer: "It's not a normal person. What is he doing out there? Why is he doing something like this again?"
Rong Zhen raised her hand again. "Those outside aren't as strong as me. At least I still have my sanity. The others have become walking rotting zombies, running around chasing and biting normal people."
The little Qilin shook his head and sighed, "Not surprising, we've finally made it this far. Thank you for letting me know. The time has indeed come, but before we begin, I need to go down and confirm it."
Rongzhen actively expressed her willingness to be a guide, as she has traveled all over the country from south to north.
Little Qilin didn't refuse and asked her what she wanted.
Rong Zhen wanted to take a few more breaths of the cool air escaping from the huge bronze gate, which was also the pure yin energy in the mouth of the little Qilin, and ask it another question by the way.
Let her absorb as much Yin energy as she can. The little Qilin was curious about what questions she wanted to ask.
Rong Zhen swallowed and exhaled that kind of essence of energy, "By the way, are you the little brother?"
"Who is this guy?" Little Qilin tilted his head in confusion.
Rongzhen was touched by the cuteness and smiled without answering.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is worth the trip for her to see the little Qilin.
The huge bronze door closed again, and when the two companions walked out, the monsters lurking in the cave outside the door became agitated. Almost wherever the little Qilin went, the monsters there would rush to run into the darkness, wishing they could stay away from it as far as possible.
Seeing this, Rongzhen teased, "It seems they are very afraid of you."
The little Qilin said indifferently: "They are just a bunch of little guys guarding the gate, don't worry about them."
When it calls others small, it is actually much smaller than them.
The little Qilin tried to save face by saying that this was its most convenient and energy-saving form, and that if it really showed its true form it would scare her to death.
The little Qilin chirped all the way to the outside of the mountain. He stepped on the vast snow with great interest, and then slid down the mountain with a whoosh.
The corpse left behind: ...
Okay, this is much more convenient and faster than when she came up.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, the little Qilin had been waiting for a long time, digging a hole in the snow with its tail raised.
The hard ice and snow frozen into blocks were like tofu under its sharp claws. After a few claws, the tofu blocks broke, revealing the zombies buried inside.
The zombie brother was forced to wake up from his deep sleep. He stared blankly with his grayish-white dead fish eyes and roared, as if he was angry about the interruption of his evolution process.
The little Qilin smashed its skull with one claw and picked out a nearly formed diamond-shaped particle from the red and white brain matter. He sighed and said, "That's right, it's them. They've made a comeback. How annoying."
"What's going on? Can you explain it?"
Rongzhen asked tentatively.
Having absorbed Yin energy, she was no longer interested in the turbid and complex zombie crystal cores and only wanted to know the reasons behind it.
