Chapter 99 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 10
"Look, what's that?"
The flamboyant Crystal Scorpion carried Luo Shu into the base gate, followed by the car carrying Zhu Zhang and the others. All eyes were on the Scorpion and Luo Shu.
Wow, that's so cool!
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth exclaimed in admiration, his eyes filled with respect. He had seen the base leader and others kill zombies or mutated plants and animals before, but he had never seen anyone who could control mutated animals.
Although the scorpion appeared to have been subdued, the people at the base still dared not approach it, only daring to glance at it from afar. Some children wanted to go up and touch it, but were held back by the adults around them, and could only look on with longing at the beautiful crystal scorpion.
Luo Shu jumped off the mutated scorpion as soon as she returned to the base. The mutated scorpion was as big as a small car and a meter tall. Its crystal-clear texture shimmered with iridescent light in the sunlight, making it extremely gorgeous.
"Miss Luo, Butler Zhao, what are your plans for dealing with this mutated scorpion?"
Zhu Zhang's words became more respectful, changing from "you" to "you (formal)," clearly showing his admiration for the two men's strength. These two men had already been labeled as unfathomable in Zhu Zhang's mind.
"Method of transportation"
Zhao Qingshu calmly replied. Upon hearing this, the management of the surrounding bases all had strange expressions. Such a gorgeous mutated scorpion, if taken outside, wouldn't it be so bright that it would blind people? I guess the other bases wouldn't dare to put it in either!
The mutated scorpion was sitting obediently in the corner, motionless like a dead thing. Luo Shu threw two third-tier crystal cores at it, which it swallowed whole. Then it closed its eyes contentedly, enjoying the long-lost feeling of abundant energy.
These crystal cores were saved by Luo Shu before. She likes shiny things, but now that the mutated scorpion is her vehicle, she can't be too shabby. She has to raise its level.
The mutated scorpion was quite satisfied. Ever since it evolved into this shiny form, other prey would run away at the sight of it from afar, making it difficult for it to catch prey. Now, this zombie was willing to give it food, and it could barely accept it even if she stood on its back. Moreover, it felt that this zombie was very powerful and that it would definitely die if it fought, so it might as well obediently listen to her.
Anyway, there is food to eat.
The mutated scorpion, with the intelligence of a four- or five-year-old, weighed the pros and cons, used its small brain to think about the most advantageous course of action, and then contentedly lay in the corner to continue absorbing the crystal core.
As the sun set, it was already evening. Before the apocalypse, most people would be eating at home at this time. Zhu Zhang had also prepared a meal and warmly invited the two of them to dine together in the canteen, but Zhao Qingshu and Luo Shu declined.
Zhu Zhang assumed that the two were very wary and unwilling to eat outside food, so he strongly emphasized that everyone in their base ate together, with several thousand people eating together. The implication was that Luo Shu and the others could rest assured that they would never tamper with the food.
Zhao Qingshu and Luo Shu still refused. Zhao Qingshu said, "Miss and I don't need to eat."
Zhu Zhang was even more confused now. Did powerful superhumans not need to eat? He was at level three and got hungry every day at certain times.
However, he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he could only arrange rooms and send the two of them to rest. He arranged a two-family detached house, which was just right for Luo Shu and Zhao Qingshu to each have a room, and Scorpion could rest in the hall. He was very thoughtful.
Luo Shu and the others are leaving tomorrow. There are no more high-level zombies or mutated plants and animals in this place, so staying any longer would be a waste of time.
Zombies don't need sleep. High-level zombies can relax their minds and achieve the same effect as sleeping, while low-level zombies don't need any of that at all. They have no consciousness, and all they need is energy.
As the night passed, the morning light streamed into the room, casting a faint golden glow on Luo Shu's fair face. Her delicate skin and crimson eyes were clearly visible, making her look as beautiful as a legendary demon.
Around 4 a.m., Zhao Qingshu went out. Given his abilities, the chances of the base's superhumans discovering him were practically zero.
This obsessive-compulsive person went and picked out a new outfit, which was neatly placed on Luo Shu's bedside table. This time it was still a dress, made of chiffon satin, with a layer of snow-white gauze covering it, which was very ethereal. It was paired with a pair of rhinestone sandals, which was very gorgeous, and a headband. This time there was no hat, but a pair of brown sunglasses were placed on the dress for Luo Shu.
Looking at this pile of clothes, Luo Shu recalled a game she had played in another world before, Love Nikki. She was now like that virtual girl who had to spend money to get pretty clothes, while Zhao Qingshu was a mobile game addict who spent money like crazy. Tsk, how fitting.
She changed into it anyway. The lining of the dress only reached mid-thigh, and a section of her long, slender, snow-white legs was faintly visible under the white gauze, which was very alluring. The upper part of the dress was completely covered up, with lace wrapping around her arms, which had beautiful lines. Her back revealed her butterfly-shaped shoulder blades, which were covered by her black hair, making people's hearts itch.
When Luo Shu changed into this outfit, paired with brown sunglasses, she was the epitome of a peerless beauty. Moreover, her cool and aloof temperament perfectly balanced the overly feminine feel of the dress, making people feel unworthy to profane her and only want to worship her as a goddess and hold her in high esteem.
So it has to be said that Zhao Qingshu's aesthetic sense is quite good. Although Luo Shu is a zombie, if someone is willing to dress her up beautifully, she doesn't have to put in any effort herself. Why not?
Don't zombies have any dignity?
Stepping out of the room, Zhao Qingshu was already waiting outside. He had changed into a baseball uniform today, making him look even younger, like a college student. He had also changed his sunglasses to a more hip-hop trendy aviator style, giving him a somewhat dapper and carefree look. You could say he was a different kind of handsome guy.
They are a perfect example: good-looking people look good no matter what they wear.
The two went straight to the bungalow where Zhu Zhang had received them the day before. As they walked, they attracted countless eyes, especially Luo Shu, whose curvaceous figure and snow-white thighs were faintly visible. The cold and beautiful charm she exuded as she walked captivated the hearts of all the young men on the roadside.
It's been a year since the apocalypse, and who has ever seen such a delicate and beautiful woman? In the past year, with insufficient food and sleep, the women in the base are all pale and thin, and they look almost the same from the outside. Except for some female superhumans in larger bases who are doing better, the others can only be described as just getting by.
Zhu Zhangchang was eating breakfast: five steamed buns and a dish of pickled vegetables. He had something to do, so he didn't go to the canteen to eat. He got his food and sat at his desk, eating the steamed buns while handling his business.
Then he saw the elegantly dressed man and woman walk in, bathed in the morning light. He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Was this the boss? While others were worrying about how to survive each day in the apocalypse, they were already enjoying life.
"Miss and I are leaving today. You may head east; you will find something there."
After saying this, Zhao Qingshu and Luo Shu didn't give Zhu Zhang much time to react and walked straight towards the base entrance. The crystal scorpion followed behind them. Zhu Zhang quickly got up to see them off. These two were no ordinary people. He couldn't hold back a true dragon by diving in. He knew they were leaving, but he didn't expect them to leave so quickly.
It was thanks to these two that their base suffered heavy losses yesterday when they faced the Crystal Scorpion.
After seeing the two off at the base entrance, Zhu Zhang entered the base only after they had disappeared from sight. He remembered what Zhao Qingshu had said: "There's a harvest to be made in the east." He quickly arranged for people to go to the east.
Hopefully, it will be a great success!
