Chapter 353: The Favorite of the End Times (33)
Guan Zhiyuan looked at her, his expression calm and indifferent. He lowered his eyelids and focused his gaze on the girl's flat belly. Her delicate face, as delicate as jade, seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.
Very faint emotions are revealed inadvertently.
It's sad.
Why are you so sure that there will be no results?
Qiao Xi's resolute attitude speaks volumes. She must have taken medicine after returning home.
Otherwise the probability is even lower.
It wouldn't be completely impossible.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Xi, who was held in Guan Zhiyuan's arms, was the first to notice the man's abnormality. She looked over in confusion, but met his cold and silent eyes.
lifeless.
Like a puppet bereft of soul, immersed in a cold pond, its light extinguished. Enduring the biting cold all day long is not despair or numbness.
But a dead heart?
"fine."
He knew that he was nothing to Qiao Xi, so he could only take advantage of the fact that he was still useful to Qiao Xi. Even if Qiao Xi was just playing around, she would still pay a little attention to him.
You shouldn't expect any results.
He is too imaginative.
It suddenly occurred to me that if I could threaten her with the unborn baby, maybe I could make Qiao Xi soften her heart.
But now it seems impossible.
The woman's answer was so heartless that Guan Zhiyuan had no doubt that if she had it, she would definitely remove it as soon as possible.
not to mention.
Now Qiao Xi doesn't even give me a chance.
"Don't think about those things. Do you want to try my ability?"
Qiao Xi smiled with her eyes curved. A soft, tender green vine quietly appeared, gently wrapping around the girl's slender, white wrist. The vine gave the first impression of being as fragile and harmless as she was.
But...
For no reason, those embarrassing experiences that I don’t want to recall suddenly emerged in my mind, but just by simply recalling them, the new experiences brought about by them were unforgettable.
Faintly.
It aroused the hidden excitement.
Guan Zhiyuan's eyes darkened, and he completely put aside the voices in his mind that wanted to verify the answers, and his loyalty fell into the gradually awakening physical instincts.
He lowered his head slightly, his voice hoarse: "Yes."
When he looked at Qiao Xi again, the eyes that were once filled with resistance and anger had long been replaced by hope and expectation, the only thing that remained unchanged was the essence.
Just a little fiddling.
It quickly awakened and deepened the memories of that time.
In the end, there was no result.
Guan Zhiyuan was teased by Qiao Xi and then left behind. Qiao Xi had indeed finished her work and left when the time came, without any reluctance.
There is no time to deal with the remaining mess and aftermath.
It was Guan Zhiyuan who made the noise, so she naturally asked him to deal with it himself. By the way, she left an ugly rabbit she had made for Guan Zhiyuan to play with.
As for Ugly Bunny...
Of course she can control it!
She was there chatting and having dinner with Gu Xuanye, and then washing up as usual, and when she returned to Base D.
Ji Chaoying also happened to announce the research results.
Zombies with multiple mutated viruses in their bodies have a certain degree of control over zombies with fewer viruses.
The zombies will begin to digest themselves after a period of time and gradually evolve.
It's a bit like the level evolution of a mutant.
Base A is experiencing another zombie siege.
The zombies are very interested in Base A, which has the most people. When Qiao Xi went back last night, Gu Xuanye was able to hold her in his arms and sleep peacefully.
There are too many zombies to kill.
Since these zombies are just outside the wall of Base A, in order to ensure safety, weapons cannot be used and they can only be dealt with by people with special abilities.
Base A is full of talented people.
There are many high-level psychics, and they are very experienced in dealing with such emergencies, taking turns to fight.
Ordinary people will do what they can.
Make some weapons that can be thrown, sometimes they are grenades, which can be thrown from a distance and hit the pile of zombies to explode.
It is now allowed to carry weapons when facing zombies.
They also do not neglect the usual firearms training, so ordinary people are also very confident.
There's nothing to worry about.
However, Base A was experiencing a zombie siege, so Gu Xuanye agreed to let Qiao Xi stay at Base D for a while longer.
After all, it's safe here.
"I received a new mission from the base commander."
Guan Zhiyuan did not leave Qiao Xi's room, but waited here for her to come back.
Just before the girl came back.
He received a message from the base commander.
There is a new task, which is to protect and monitor Qiao Xi, and report the girl's daily life every once in a while.
On the side.
Qiao Xi, who was drinking water from a cup, was not too surprised, as she had basically figured out Gu Xuanye's character.
I am inherently arrogant and self-centered.
If you don't really have the ability, you will create a fake persona.
This kind of person will definitely have no friends if you get involved.
"Surveillance, I knew it." Qiao Xi put down the water cup. This was no different from before.
The only thing that changed was Guan Zhiyuan's mentality.
Gu Xuanye's task was just right, providing Guan Zhiyuan with the opportunity to come to her and be teased.
But the appearance of peace did not last long.
That afternoon.
During the specific period of time when the Internet was available, the forum was in an uproar with heated discussions about zombies, and the center of this topic was Base B.
Base A is facing another wave of zombies.
Base B was operating as usual.
The zombies that were diverted here also ushered in a small wave of zombies. If they were to follow past experience, although they would not be as adept as Base A, they would still be able to deal with it without any problem.
Everyone thought it would be like usual.
However, this small wave of zombies seemed to be controlled by someone with intelligence.
Not only will you learn to avoid the superpowers of those with superpowers, but you will also learn to identify the traps set by ordinary people.
The zombies used to just rush forward with their heads down.
Now it seemed to have intelligence and become like a human, although its dodging was still a bit clumsy.
But the psychics at Base B discovered.
In actual combat, these zombies seemed to be using them for training, sacrificing themselves time and again in exchange for increasingly sophisticated dodging skills.
Base B Captain Sheng Jing looked solemn.
A meeting had to be held to urgently arrange a new battle plan.
Base A freed up personnel to provide support, and Bases D and C did the same.
However, when the reinforcements arrived.
They were shocked to find out.
In the small zombie tide at base B, there was actually a teenager who looked almost exactly like a normal person. If it weren't for that teenager being safe and sound among the zombie group.
I'm afraid they will really treat the other party as an ordinary person who has accidentally entered the zombie tide and is about to be torn to pieces.
The surveillance at Base B also successfully recorded this scene.
The video is transmitted back to the central system.
It was made public on the forum and everyone could see the boy in the video.
Ji Chaoying had just announced the results of his research this morning, speculating that the zombies might be selecting their king in this way.
And zombies with multiple viruses on their bodies.
After the mutation reaches its extreme, human characteristics will reappear. This stage is also called the 'recovery period', and it seems to be a complete recovery.
In fact, it is completely hopeless.
The walking dead, without any signs of life, evolved into a human-like species.
However, the deadly viruses they carry can infect and kill ordinary people if they just come into contact with them.
Qiao Xi also watched the video.
The boy's skin was sickly pale, devoid of any color, and his clear, translucent pupils had a deep hue like malachite. The area around his eye sockets also revealed an unusual, faint red.
It reveals the fact that it is not human.
With neat dark green short hair and a slender figure, she looks to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, but you can tell by watching the video.
That's probably.
This was also the age he was when he was alive. It has been several years since the apocalypse, but his time has remained at this age forever.
Face the unknown.
No one dared to step forward. Everyone was watching in Base B. The dark green-haired boy in the zombie tide seemed to be curious and looked at the group of people on the city wall with interest.
immediately.
He waved his hand with a smile, as if to say hello. The smiling boy moved his lips slightly, which could be inferred from the shape of his lips.
He said something.
"You look delicious. I'll come back tonight."
And after saying this.
He also left the zombie tide leisurely with one hand in his pocket, and the ferocious and deformed zombies that were roaring and screaming around him quieted down and made way for him the moment they saw him.
The scene looked magical.
The zombies diverted from Base A are basically mutated alien zombies. Not only are they two or three meters tall, they don’t even look like humans at all.
Like pure monster.
Is this the product of a mixture of multiple virus mutations and evolution?
Base A has Gu Xuanye, a full-level psychic.
No matter what kind of zombie it is, it can be easily dealt with, and now there is a zombie that looks like the Zombie King, which is probably comparable to the full-level supernatural power.
Whether there is an upper limit and room for evolution is another matter.
However, this young man with dark green hair looks like the zombie that is closest to humans.
"What's wrong?"
Guan Zhiyuan, who was standing next to her, followed Qiao Xi's gaze and looked at her phone, and found that the girl was still staring at the video that had already been played.
Glancing at the zombie boy in the video.
He frowned slightly, and the displeasure on his baby face was clearly visible. He didn't know much about Qiao Xi, but Guan Zhiyuan knew.
On Qiao Xi.
Sometimes there are some thoughts that are beyond the range of normal people. Now the girl is staring at him intently.
Could it be that you want to... ?
"He's a zombie."
Guan Zhiyuan reminded him subtly. He also knew that he had a baby-like face, and Qiao Xi never got tired of teasing him.
Maybe you like this type?
A youthful feeling?
XP is beyond the range of normal humans, right?
Guan Zhiyuan's expression was gloomy, and his eyes, filled with cold light, stared at her without blinking, as if warning her not to do anything beyond the normal human's ability.
“???”
Qiao Xi looked at him strangely, not understanding.
The little white cat in the system space.
When he happened to recall the few times he had communicated with Qiao Xi during the previous mimicry, he suddenly had a bad feeling and held his forehead with his hands, causing a headache.
Speaking of this.
It remembered that it had had a similar experience before.
What's wrong?
The little black cat system next to it is inexplicable.
[No...it's not impossible for me to do something beyond the scope of normal human beings.]
The Little White Cat System hesitated to speak.
If Qiao Xi is interested.
Just like when I treated its mimicry before, I became interested in studying that zombie.
It's not impossible.
"Come on, it's not a real person. Even if you get bitten, you won't get infected. It's okay to take a risk. As long as I can kill it, that's fine."
Robots cannot be infected by the zombie virus.
No matter how well a human is simulated, he is still essentially a lifeless individual, just being controlled by Qiao Xi. The Little Black Cat System doesn't think so.
I don't think there's anything to worry about.
The little white cat choked: "..."
The question is whether it is good here.
Because it's not a real person, even if it gets bitten, it won't be a problem. So it can approach the zombies without restraint to get virus samples, just like when Qiao Xi helped maintain it, she took the opportunity to dismantle it to study its internal structure and learn from it.
The two systems are not on the same channel at all.
"Did you understand what he said?"
Qiao Xi didn't care about Guan Zhiyuan's serious expression. Although he had such a handsome face, he was actually a serious and pragmatic person in his daily life.
Only when I tease him.
Only then will you see the crazy side of people who let go of their reserve when they are moved.
"What did you say?"
Guan Zhiyuan glanced over, seemingly watching a video, but out of the corner of his eye he was paying attention to Qiao Xi's every move.
"He said he'd come back in the evening, and someone on the forum had translated it."
Below the video are various discussions.
Many people are speculating about what the zombie boy said, but the various versions have very different meanings.
The correct version has more likes.
It is also on the popularity ranking. I believe the base has its own judgment.
"Do you care?"
Guan Zhiyuan just glanced at it briefly and then looked away.
It’s not Qiao Xi’s turn to worry about this kind of thing. If it were the base commander, he would probably think the same.
"Of course, I'm worried they won't be able to cope."
Qiao Xi turned off the screen of her phone and put it aside.
When Guan Zhiyuan heard her words, he curled his lips and sneered twice. His dark gaze fell on her without any concealment, and his tone was gloomy.
"I think I'd be worried about you no matter who you are."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and covered her red lips in surprise.
"Is that so? Then I should go back now and worry about Gu Xuanye too?"
Knowing it was a deliberate prank.
It's so obvious.
However, when Guan Zhiyuan saw the girl stand up and pretend to leave, he couldn't sit still anymore. Although he looked away with a stern face, his hand honestly held Qiao Xi's wrist.
"The base commander doesn't need you to worry about him."
That's what I said.
Qiao Xi didn't understand for a moment whose side Guan Zhiyuan was standing on.
"But I have to go to Base B."
She remembered the olive branch Sheng Jing extended to her and the bowl of porridge he cooked for her after she pretended to be unconscious, which allowed the base commander to take time out of his busy schedule to cook for her and take care of her.
Although it wasn't Qiao Xi's intention to trouble anyone.
But there is a setting before, after the outbreak, it will be severely exhausted and it will take two days of rest to recover.
Especially the previous explosion that wiped out everything.
According to the level of the psychic, it is normal for the psychic to become so weak that he falls into a coma due to excessive loss of psychic power.
At that time, she had been in a coma for two days, and the base commander took time out to come and take care of her.
This favor must be repaid no matter what.
What’s more, we are a community with a shared future for mankind. We cannot sit idly by and watch the base collapse.
She would rather have Gu Xuanye discover her true strength level than see anyone die because of zombies.
At worst, both sides will be destroyed when Gu Xuanye is finally dealt with, although the evidence has not been collected completely, which is very disadvantageous to her.
But that was a last resort.
The reborn Gu Xuanye has learned to guard against her.
Qiao Xi wanted to use her own power to gradually infiltrate and find out the man's handle, which would take more time to find the black material evidence of him before the end of the world and beat him to death.
Especially now.
It has been so long since the apocalypse broke out that it is unknown whether people are still alive, and it is very difficult to do it.
Everything needs to be proven with evidence to be convincing.
And at base B.
Base A can only send a limited number of people for support. Although Base D has sent people for support, it is not enough, not to mention Base C.
It is in the wilderness.
He is at the bottom of the psychic level and can't be of much help.
"What are you going there for? To die?"
When Guan Zhiyuan heard her words, he immediately frowned and disagreed.
He now understood the base commander's feelings a little bit. In many ways, Qiao Xi was really restless.
"Of course there are things to do."
Qiao Xi's tone was light and cheerful, but with irresistible force, she slowly pried open Guan Zhiyuan's hand that was holding her wrist.
"You stay at Base D. I'll be back when I'm done."
Her casual attitude, as if she was sending away a random person, made Guan Zhiyuan lower his eyes slightly, hiding the emotions that were gradually shattering in his eyes.
Should have known this earlier.
Even after confessing, he was still an insignificant object of teasing to Qiao Xi.
But people are greedy.
Once you have something, you will be more eager to cherish it when you lose it again.
"The base commander asked me to monitor you."
When Guan Zhiyuan looked up at her again, there was a chill in his deep eyes. When Qiao Xi looked in his direction, his voice paused.
"If you don't take me with you, then tell the base commander what you did to me during your next report."
“……?”
The look in Qiao Xi's eyes gradually changed as she looked at him, and then the woman's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
There was a light of interest deep in her eyes mixed with a hint of madness. She bent down slightly and supported her hands in front of Guan Zhiyuan.
"You really want others to know that I teased you?"
There was a hint of bewitching allure in the sweet and gentle voice.
"If you don't mind embarrassing yourself, I don't mind assisting you personally."
charming.
The corners of Qiao Xi's eyes were stained with a seductive color, as if she was pleased by these words, or as if she was surprised by his courage. But no matter which one it was, when she was looked at by these lazy and ambiguous eyes.
It made his mouth dry.
Inexplicably, he actually started to look forward to it, and Guan Zhiyuan felt really unbearable about himself being like this.
"You can do as you please."
Qiao Xi waved her hand lightly, said these words, and stood up to leave without entangled with him any further.
It didn’t matter to her whether she told Gu Xuanye or not.
What will be the consequences.
She must be safe and sound, but I don’t know if Guan Zhiyuan is okay.
The girl left humming a song.
Guan Zhiyuan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. He didn't understand why he had to compete with Qiao Xi and even said such words to get the girl to take him away.
This would have been completely unimaginable in the past.
