Chapter 106 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 17
Zhao Qingshu dressed Luo Shu in a modified Hanfu. The bottom was a black horse-face skirt with red fine trim, which was extremely exquisite. The top was a white double-breasted modified shirt, which was also embroidered with peacock patterns in red. The whole outfit was hand-embroidered. If it were before the apocalypse, it would probably have sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Luo Shu quickly changed her clothes and came out. The belt accentuated her slender waist, and the clothes were very stylish, adding to her dashing appearance.
Unconventional and free-spirited, like a cold swordsman, Zhao Qingshu had just bought a longsword from a stall. He took it out and had Luo Shu put it on, then personally tied Luo Shu's hair with a hairband. Looking at him like this, he had even more of that wandering knight-errant vibe.
Zhao Qingshu was very satisfied with Luo Shu's outfit. He then went into the bathroom and changed into a three-piece suit. Instantly, the handsome young man in the windbreaker transformed into a refined and elegant butler, still exceptionally handsome.
Then Luo Shu sat upright on the sofa in the room and began to absorb the rose crystal core. It was a sixth-order high-level energy, rich and fragrant. Luo Shu had not tasted such a mellow flavor for a long time, and her eyes became redder and redder, as if they were about to bleed.
After completely absorbing the crystal, Luo Shu's pupils dimmed, no longer as bright red as before, but a mixture of black and red. Without being held up to the sunlight, she looked no different from an ordinary person.
They are becoming more and more indistinguishable from humans.
However, a body containing immense energy and an indestructible physique is far superior to the mere fragile human form.
This is clearly a step into the eighth rank. If humans knew of this hope, how desperate they would be. Even if Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu are intelligent, it doesn't mean they will necessarily stand on the side of humans!
Reason does not equate to emotion. Their human emotions were eradicated the moment they mutated into zombies. Even if someone like Zhao Qingshu still retains human habits, it doesn't mean he will still possess human feelings.
Zombies possess powerful, cold strength, but they have also abandoned the warmth and love that humans have. Isn't that fair?
No matter how human-like her appearance may be, Luo Shu is a zombie, or even a zombie king. She is a new species, a zombie.
Luo Shu had just devoured a sixth-tier crystal core and entered the eighth tier. She saw Zhao Qingshu in the room. At this moment, Zhao Qingshu was no longer the subordinate she had picked up, but just a sixth-tier zombie. She saw the crystal core in his brain, which was as transparent as crystal. It was really beautiful.
For a fleeting moment, Luo Shu almost preyed on Zhao Qingshu, but the next second she regained her senses and became the indifferent Luo Shu who recognized Zhao Qingshu.
Zhao Qingshu had once narrowly escaped death. As a high-level zombie, he possessed reason and naturally felt fear—it was an instinct of intelligent beings. He also sensed the murderous intent his king had towards him at that moment.
But his life belonged to the king, and to serve the king was his greatest honor. He had no regrets. Fear was instinct, but no regrets were reason. It was only natural for lower-ranking zombies to obey higher-ranking ones, and for higher-ranking ones to obey the king.
Luo Shu went out first, followed by Zhao Qingshu, who played the role of a loyal housekeeper. The two of them left the room one after the other.
Luo Shu's advancement had just released some pressure, causing the fourth-level ability users to feel a bit suffocated and short of breath. They had experienced this feeling before, whenever they were near the botanical garden. But why did they feel this pressure again today at the Glorious Base?
Was it some kind of mutated plant or animal that infiltrated, or did some superhuman advance to a higher level? But if a superhuman has this feeling, could it be that person has advanced from the fifth level to the sixth level?
With everyone just beginning to reach the fourth tier, is this kind of advancement speed even meant to make life unbearable?
Several major forces gathered together, and everyone was silent. A few lit a cigarette and sighed comfortably in the smoke. Cigarettes are truly a luxury these days. It's been a year since the apocalypse, and there are no tobacco companies anymore. Every pack you smoke is one less you have. Even the higher-ups of the Glorious Base are reluctant to squander them.
The head of the Brilliant Base, who was sitting at the head of the table, was fifty years old and had also awakened his superpowers. He had a serious expression and a cigarette between his fingers. He said, "You didn't say whether it was those two people or not?"
No one answered, but that was the best answer. They all felt that the ones who had advanced were those two mysterious young men.
"Do you think it's the man or the woman?"
Upon hearing this, several men stopped smoking and sat up straight. A woman with striking features said, "Is that the girl? I think that man is a space ability user. He can't kill a sixth-order mutated plant."
The woman who spoke organized a team of female superhumans, who were quite famous in the Glorious Base. When women are driven to the brink, they become far more ruthless than men. Every woman in this team is vicious and cruel, and the men present dare not provoke them.
After Wang Qiaoling finished speaking, seeing that no one refuted her, she laughed, picked up a cigarette and took a deep drag. She thought of the woman who calmly entered and exited the botanical garden, powerful and mysterious, but she didn't know exactly what kind of person she was.
Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu left the hotel, planning to wander around a bit more before heading north from the base, or perhaps to a nomadic tribe. They were up to either option; they would go wherever the car ended up.
If this had happened before the apocalypse, posting it online would have been praised for being unrestrained and free. But now, anyone who dares to do this is either incredibly skilled and daring, or a complete idiot.
Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu, on the other hand, were forced by life's circumstances to rely on their unreliable sense of direction, without any navigation. Who would have thought that the zombie king, whose fighting prowess was unmatched, would have his destination depend entirely on his unreliable sense of direction?
Luo Shu rested one hand on the hilt of her sword, her long, black hair fluttering in the wind, the hem of her horse-face skirt rippling in the breeze. Her features were exquisite, her phoenix eyes noble and cold, yet this did not diminish her unparalleled beauty. On the contrary, it made the beauty before her seem like a cold moon in the sky, untouchable.
The people around her stared blankly at her, their eyes glazed over. Her beauty was simply too striking, and her demeanor was free and noble, not to be trifled with. In the year of the apocalypse, who wasn't risking their life for a bite to eat, enduring the cold of the sun and the warmth of the moon, to the point of sacrificing their lifespan?
Now, however, there is someone who will tell you that even in the apocalypse, there is still beauty and grace. She is powerful and majestic, with a cold and aloof demeanor, yet she is so alluring that no one can help but yearn for her.
The high-ranking officials of the Brilliant Base who came to block people here were also stunned.
They knew Luo Shu was a great beauty, but they didn't expect her to be this stunning. Before the apocalypse, these people might have just been unknown laborers, but after the apocalypse, they transformed into high-ranking officials in a large base with hundreds of thousands of members. This extreme contrast caused many people to become psychologically distorted.
They toyed with celebrities they wouldn't have seen before the apocalypse, and enjoyed the groveling of fallen heiresses after the apocalypse. Now, seeing Luo Shu, they couldn't help but show their lust.
Before their lecherous gazes could even land on Luo Shu, Zhao Qingshu turned his head and looked over, his expression behind his sunglasses extremely cold.
Some people felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads, and all their fiery and filthy thoughts vanished. They figured that person was probably a sixth-level ability user, and if they went to their doorstep, they wouldn't even leave a bone fragment behind. They decided to give up.
Tsk, they really are bullies who prey on the weak.
They didn't dare to stop them anymore. They had originally planned to use a roundabout approach, but Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu didn't give them a chance to say it and leisurely left the gate of the Brilliant Base.
The Brilliant Base also sent people, who followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far behind.
Luo Shu's stunning appearance today has left many legends around the Brilliant Base, and many people know that a stunningly beautiful woman came to buy things here.
The apocalypse and a stunning beauty are two completely unrelated concepts, but their combination today is quite poignant.
Tsk, in this world, are there really any stunning beauties who don't have to worry about food and drink?
