Ultimately, the system succumbed to the atmosphere of lethargy and agreed to her "request" to return to the protection camp immediately.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Tao Wu's team hasn't returned yet. There wasn't much grain left in the granary to begin with, and after they've been gone for three days, there's not a single grain of rice left, even though everyone only ate lunch.
Su Chen doesn't need to eat; in fact, she even pushes food away.
Over the course of these three days, Bo Lie and Su Chen grew increasingly close, and Bo Lie even went out of his way to give her a moldy purple sweet potato bread that he had hidden in the corner.
"Why aren't you eating? How can you survive without food? How will you have the strength to escape?" Bo Lie said, looking at the moldy bread she pushed back at him, his face full of disapproval.
"Cough cough, I have the strength."
"You're not going to refuse to eat the bread just because it's moldy, are you? Let me tell you, at this time of year, it's good enough to have bread at all. I wouldn't even eat this bread myself!" Here, it's yours.
Su Chen also felt very apologetic, after all, it was someone's good intention, but when she asked the system about the consequences of eating human food, the system only replied with the word "death".
Su Chen believes that as a zombie, one should be afraid of death.
"It's not that I can't eat mold, it's that I'm allergic to carbohydrates... and the allergic reaction is quite severe; my face swells up whenever I have an allergic reaction, so..."
[Host, that's a really low-level lie. Everything contains some carbohydrates, more or less.]
"I see... So what can you eat?"
[Holy crap, she actually believed it.] The system suddenly suspected that this Bo Lie was also a zombie.
Su Chen looked around and replied, "Earth."
【puff……】
Bo Lie exclaimed in surprise, "Soil? No way..."
[Not bad, doesn't seem that stupid.]
"You're so pitiful." With that, Bo Lie patted Su Chen's shoulder with a look of heartache.
Su Chen shook her head and said, "I'm not pitiful. In the apocalypse, soil is everywhere. I won't go hungry."
"That's true, at least we won't go hungry anymore." Bo Lie thought about it with a hint of envy.
She's been so hungry these past few days that she's had no strength left, let alone the ability to generate electricity... She can't even listen to music on her phone anymore.
"System, how long until they come back?" If they don't return in seven days, the entire protection camp will be dead!
[I don't know, it's not mentioned in the plot. This system can't locate the villain either.] *shrug*
Su Chen suddenly said to the system, "I suddenly feel like... I'm a little hungry."
[How can a zombie be hungry? Could it be... could it be that you want to eat...?] The system looked at Su Chen with a terrified expression.
"Wait a minute... where are the male and female leads?" Su Chen felt like she hadn't seen them for the past three days.
[The male and female protagonists are eating roasted rat meat.] The system pops up a screen.
The male protagonist snapped his fingers, and the pile of dry wood instantly burst into flames. The female protagonist, standing beside him, held a branch with skewered meat over the fire to roast it.
Even though the meat was almost blackened to charcoal, the two of them were still having a great time grilling it. They felt like they were eating a Manchu Han Imperial Feast from such a small piece of meat.
"Suddenly, I feel that the male and female protagonists of this world are a bit pitiful." For the first time ever, Su Chen felt pity for others.
"In this apocalypse, those who can eat meat, especially hot meat, are extremely rare. They're doing quite well." The system sighed as it spoke.
Su Chen recalled the moldy purple rice bread that Bo Lie had given her earlier and fell into deep thought...
"How about I make everyone like me and not have to eat?"
