049:
The setting sun hangs precariously on the edge of the sky, and dusk slowly falls.
The few people in the armory did not dare to move according to Sang Luo's order.
At first, they were frightened by the dense swarms of monsters staring at them.
Later, seeing that they didn't make any other moves except staring at them, they felt relieved and simply found Gui Chenggong to chat.
It's also a test.
Gui Chenggong was willing to tell everything he knew.
Answer whatever you ask.
Several people got a lot of information about monsters from here.
It turns out that even they themselves don't know how they mutated.
"So, there is no one alive in the entire Haicheng?" The bald man couldn't help but ask.
Gui Chenggong nodded: "It should be."
The looks people gave it were not friendly.
Gui Chenggong didn't understand why they were all silent, so he could only stare at each other.
After a while, its eyelids began to droop, and it looked like it was clearly dozing off.
Until a dull shaking, like an earthquake, startled it and woke it up instantly.
Hu Lingling and the others looked alert, fearing that something might happen.
But the vibration only lasted for a while and disappeared, and it was not strong, as if it was caused by external factors.
"...Could it be Luoshen?"
They looked at each other, each seeing speculation in the other's eyes.
After all, Luo Shen went out with a nuclear bomb. No matter what she was going to do, it could cause such a big commotion, and the first person they thought of was her.
The bald man was getting impatient waiting downstairs. He suggested, "Why don't we go out, just in case we can help the master."
Since the armory had been emptied, there was no point for them to stay here. It would be better for them to go outside and wait and see.
Gui Chenggong treated them as human servants subdued by Her Majesty the Queen, and as one of their own.
They all serve Her Majesty the Queen, so naturally what they say is what happens.
So the group went back outside, but did not see Sang Luo.
Only then did they realize that Sang Luo had probably left the area - they thought Sang Luo was just outside the armory.
However, the military headquarters was so large and there was no need to worry about safety issues, so several people asked to visit the military headquarters - and find some useful supplies by the way.
Gui Chenggong thus became a tour guide.
At this time, a crawling sea monster crawled over with a clattering sound. It did not have an anthropomorphic appearance, but was communicating internally with Gui Chenggong.
Hu Lingling and the others didn't understand, but when they saw Gui Chenggong finished listening, they immediately showed an urgent expression.
Then it told the other sea monsters to take them for a walk as it had something urgent to do and had to leave first.
Some of them are not stupid.
Gui Chenggong is the boss here, so it is definitely safest to have him around.
What if Gui Chenggong was not there and the other sea monsters suddenly disobeyed orders and attacked them?
We have to be on guard against this.
"I wonder what urgent matter Mr. Gui has and whether we can help him." Gu Qingchuan said.
Based on the time spent with Gui Chenggong, we can conclude that this sea monster is relatively simple. Not stupid, but rather stubborn.
This monster is easy to deal with.
Gui Chenggong scratched the turtle shell on its back and refused repeatedly: "No, no."
"Mr. Gui, you're welcome. We're all family. Feel free to speak."
Hu Lingling and Baldy understood what Gu Qingchuan meant.
The two continued Gu Qingchuan's words, talking back and forth. All three of them showed friendliness and enthusiasm, as if not letting us help meant they didn't trust us and looked down on us.
Gui Chenggong was no match for him, and perhaps the matter reported by his subordinates was very urgent, so he had no time to argue with them and took them to his residence in a daze.
Then they saw a shocking scene——
There was actually a zombie locked in the room where Gui Chenggong lived.
From its appearance, it is not difficult to tell that it was a young girl in its lifetime.
It was neatly tidied, wearing normal pajamas, and its hair was neatly tied back.
Ignoring its pale face and dark, strange eyes, it looks like a normal human woman.
Its limbs were all chained and confined to a soft sofa.
When it saw Gui Chenggong, the zombie's originally fragmented roars became intense, and it howled desperately at Gui Chenggong.
What surprised the three even more was that Gui Chenggong actually lifted up his sleeves and put his slender arms in front of the zombies.
The howling zombie immediately stopped and bit its arm.
Zombies and monsters don't interfere with each other, and there is no food chain between the two sides.
But this zombie was obviously extremely eager for Gui Chenggong's flesh and blood, and it did not bite and gnaw the blood like other zombies, but just drank the blood in big gulps.
As the female zombie sucked his blood, Gui Chenggong's skinny body became increasingly shriveled, and the tortoise shell on his back seemed like it could make him stagger in the next second.
???
The scene before them left Hu Lingling and the other two completely baffled.
This mutant turtle seems to be raising a zombie with itself?
What's the point?
An even weirder scene appeared.
The paleness on the female zombie's face gradually faded, revealing a paper-like paleness;
The pupils that had been completely eroded by black gradually began to show normal whites, and the pupils recovered.
It actually changed back from a zombie to a human!
At the same time, it... her sanity was obviously returning. The girl blinked and loosened Gui Chenggong's bamboo-like arm.
Gui Chenggong should have the ability to heal itself. After a while, the bite marks on its hands disappeared.
The girl was probably used to this scene, but when she caught a glimpse of Hu Lingling and the other two, her body trembled.
"Are you...human?" Her voice was hoarse and filled with uncertainty.
The three of them nodded. Hu Lingling, also a girl, asked tentatively, "You are...?"
After seeing them admit that they were human, the girl's dim pupils lit up. She heard the hidden meaning of Hu Lingling's words, smiled bitterly, and said self-deprecatingly: "I don't know what I am either."
Gui Chenggong sensed that she was quite happy to see Hu Lingling and the other two, and he was quite pleased, so he quickly said, "You're a human being, too."
The girl said, "I want to talk to them, please go out."
Gui Chenggong: "Oh."
Then it went out obediently.
Three people: "..."
The girl moved her hands, and the chains made an unpleasant clanging sound. "Please sit wherever you like."
Hu Lingling asked: "Did Gui Chenggong turn you into this?"
"I guess so." The girl thought for a moment and organized her words. "I had already turned into a zombie and was unaware of anything. But one day, I suddenly regained my consciousness and opened my eyes to see Gui Chenggong. It fed me and I drank its blood."
...Couldn't it be that returning blood could turn zombies back into humans?!
The girl didn't know why Gui Chenggong did this.
Its blood restored her sanity, but not for long, so it locked her in the room.
When its own blood volume is sufficient, it will let her suck its blood again.
When she regained her sanity, he prepared some human food for her and obeyed her almost in every way.
She had asked the reason for the success.
Gui Chenggong didn't say anything.
She didn't ask any more questions after that.
Normally, Gui Chenggong rarely meets her except for feeding her blood and food.
The girl glanced outside the door, then looked away and looked at Hu Lingling: "You were captured by Gui Chenggong, right? Don't worry, I will let it release you."
Hu Lingling felt that the other party might have misunderstood - the girl thought they were caught by Gui Chenggong and fed to her as food.
She explained that they could be considered guests.
The girl was in a trance.
"It seems that you are very powerful..." She murmured softly.
After a moment, sparks seemed to be burning in her eyes. She swept her gaze over Gu Qingchuan, the bald man, and finally landed on Hu Lingling: "I have something I want to ask you for help."
Hu Lingling didn't know what her situation was, and she wasn't sure if she could help, but she nodded anyway: "Go ahead."
The girl said word by word: "Kill me."
Hu Lingling was stunned.
"I'm already dead, and I don't want to live like a ghost anymore," the girl said. "I just want to die quickly."
Faced with such a request, Hu Lingling was a little at a loss, and she looked at her little friend for help.
Gu Qingchuan asked in a deep voice: "Does Gui Chenggong know your wish?"
The girl shook her head. "But it probably knows, that's why it locked me up, preventing me from even committing suicide."
Gu Qingchuan: "Please wait a moment."
He motioned Hu Lingling and Baldy to go outside.
The girl watched silently as the three figures disappeared from her sight.
As soon as they went out, the three saw Gui Chenggong standing not far away.
When it saw them come out, it didn't ask what they said, but only ordered the sea monster next to it to prepare food and also prepare some for them.
Very warm and friendly.
The bald man couldn't stand it any longer and asked Gui Chenggong directly what was going on.
Gui Chenggong scratched his head. Since they had seen him anyway and they were his own people, he didn't hide it. He said a little embarrassedly, "I'm just repaying a favor."
Three people: “???”
Gui Chenggong slowly told them a little story.
Many years ago, a little turtle was washed onto the beach by the waves. It flipped over and couldn't get over with its four legs facing the sky.
Then a little girl dug it out and put it back into the sea.
In fact, this is not a big favor. After all, if it struggles for a while, it will eventually turn over.
And what can a little turtle remember?
Until it mutated, fused with a corpse, and became a pseudo-human itself.
One day I saw a zombie that looked quite familiar. After comparing it with my memory, I confirmed that it was the little girl.
So Gui Chenggong brought the zombie back to the armory and used his own blood to restore her.
Because the effect of the blood doesn't last too long, in order to prevent her from going crazy, just lock her up.
The three of them looked at each other, not expecting this to happen.
"It's all my fault for not being strong enough." Gui Chenggong adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "If she could evolve once more, my blood would be enough to completely turn her back into a human."
It had no idea how shocking what it said was.
He even told the three why its blood had this effect.
Because it is a turtle, it has a long lifespan.
When the girl sucked its blood, it was equivalent to sucking in a large amount of vitality, which renewed the girl's vitality - after the effect wore off, the girl naturally turned back into a zombie.
…
"If I eat you, won't I become immortal?"
In the corridor, before Hu Lingling and the other two could react, they heard a familiar lazy voice.
A tall, slender and attractive figure appeared not far behind Gui Chenggong.
"Shen Luo!" The three were surprised.
Gui Chenggong shuddered and quickly bent down: "Your Majesty."
Then he answered honestly: "It should be possible. Do you want to eat it?"
He even stretched out his hand with a look of loyalty.
Three people: "..."
system:"……"
What made the three of them stunned was...
Sang Luo waved his hand and ordered, "Go and make a bowl of soup."
Gui Chenggong went to receive the order.
...It's okay to cook for yourself.
The system couldn't help but ask: "Are you really going to eat it?"
Sang Luo: "It would be a waste if you don't eat it."
system:"…………"
Whatever is said seems to make perfect sense to its host.
