The young man seemed to realize his mistake and regained his cautious and timid demeanor. He looked at Dr. Sang with an apologetic expression and said, “I’m sorry Dr. Sang, I was too excited and couldn’t control myself.”
Dr. Sang took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. He looked down at the young man and asked, “What were you thinking?”
The young man hesitated for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and said seriously, “I watched you as you got me pudding this morning.”
“And then?” asked Dr. Sang.
The young man held up both hands and made a horizontal “8” shape in the air, saying, “And then I accidentally saw, um, you…”
“Really perverted,” Dr. Sang interjected.
“I’ve been thinking about it all day,” the young man continued.
Dr. Sang almost couldn’t catch his breath. His calm voice shattered as he asked, “What is going on in your head every day?”
The young man blushed and confessed, “I’m thinking about you. Only you. I dream of you, and my mind is filled with thoughts of you. I love you so much.”
“My soul belongs to you, and my body belongs to you.”
“Actually, you said it yourself, ‘My body belongs to you,’ “ the young man added.
Dr. Sang frowned and looked at the young man. “Do you really like me that much?” he asked.
“Yes, I do. There are some things I dare not do and some words I dare not say, so I can only release these impulses and feelings in my dreams,” the young man replied.
Dr. Sang looked at the small ant in front of him, whom he could easily crush. “Then what do you want me to do?” he asked.
“I want to take off your lab coat, remove your tie, and tear off your clothes with my own hands,” the young man said, his face turning red.
“I want to push you down on the bed or against the wall, and then…”
“Enough,” the man’s voice interrupted the young man. “You and I are leaving!”
Before Bai Lixin even had the chance to say anything cheesy, his consciousness was suddenly ejected. When he regained consciousness, it was daytime again, and he was facing Xia Chi’s strange expression.
Bai Lixin rubbed his stiff face and thought to himself, ‘Damn it, history always repeats itself.’
Could he apply for a single dormitory? He would be embarrassed by his own shameful thoughts before the older attacker even had the chance to make a move!
Bai Lixin lifted the covers of his bed and skillfully used his ability on the dazed Xia Chi, giving him orders.
However, Tang Yue did not appear this time. Five seconds after the order was issued, Xia Chi returned to his senses and showed a smile brighter than the sun outside.
Hmm, Xia Chi really lives up to his name as the little sunshine, so healing.
The premise is to never remember my dark history.
Xia Chi: “Brother, Teacher Sally said we’re having physical education today. Are you joining?”
“When is it?” Bai Lixin remembered he had agreed to meet Dr. Sang in the morning. “If it’s in the afternoon, I can’t make it.”
“In the morning,” Xia Chi replied.
“Then it’s no problem, I’ll do one practice session,” Bai Lixin said.
Xia Chi smoothly made a comment, “Yeah, you can’t always focus on the zombies’ learning to walk.”
Bai Lixin: “……”
———————
In the live broadcast room:
[Xia Chi, you were a little clueless today. Were what God Xin watched just a regular ‘Upright Walking Zombies’? It was ‘The Romance of the World’!]
[Brothers, when does the dormitory footage open?]
[According to my observation for the past two days, the footage will be available until they go to bed, then the screens go black. It opened when Xia Chi asked Bai Lixin about the physical education. I’ve been waiting here all along, and you came just in time.]
[Oh, I see. Thank you for reminding us, brother.]
—————————-
Just as Bai Lixin and Xia Chi were about to open the door, a harsh suren suddenly sounded outside.
At the same time, they heard Sally’s voice through the door: “Trainees, come out within one minute!”
In a second, all players heard the system’s voice.
[Ding! Emergency task released. A zombie frenzy has suddenly occured. All players, please participate in the battle.]
[This is an advanced task, and completing it will greatly increase the level of all players’ abilities. Friendly reminder: the extent of improvement varies depending on your own innate conditions.]
[Another friendly reminder: this zombie frenzy does not comply with the regular time rules for zombie frenzies, and is a special attack. Players must bring sufficient nutrient solution and proceed with caution.]
[Danger comes with opportunity. This zombie frenzy may produce high-quality crystal cores.]
[Finally, we wish all players a pleasant game experience.]
———————
When the system finished, Bai Lixin had already taken out all five tubes of nutrient solution from the drawer, giving Xia Chi eight tubes and keeping seven at his waist.
They exchanged a glance and rushed to the square at the fastest speed.
Sally was already standing there with his hands behind his back, carrying the sharp sword they had seen before.
The players were all fast, and within one minute, they had all arrived.
Sally’s expression was serious. “You should be familiar with zombie frenzies by now. Previously, zombie frenzies would only attack once every other week. But today, only two days have passed since the last one. Scientists are analyzing the irregularity of the zombie frenzy, but in the meantime, we must defend against this wave of attacks.”
“Plans cannot keep up with changes, so the planned exercise this morning will now be a real battle. I will personally lead the team and teach you how to use your abilities correctly in combat.”
“Everyone is here. Let’s go!”
Bai Lixin followed behind the team and slowly moved to stand beside Song Yuantian.
With just a glance between them, Song Yuantian immediately understood Bai Lixin’s intention. They gradually slowed their pace and moved to the back of the team. Bai Lixin sent a friend request to Song Yuantian.
Song Yuantian: [Did you find something?]
Bai Lixin: [You said you froze your girlfriend’s body and stored it somewhere. Is that place an endless glacier where even the sunlight is pure white?]
Song Yuantian paused and his eyes lit up with excitement. [Yes, that’s the place. How did you know?! Have you been there?!]
Bai Lixin shook his head. [No, I haven’t seen it with my own eyes. I only read about it in records.]
Out of protection for Dijia’s secret, he did not reveal everything.
Bai Lixin: [Is that where you accidentally awakened the zombie king?]
Song Yuantian’s eyes flashed with disappointment. [Yes, our task at the time was to eliminate the last of the zombies. We wanted to prevent any future disasters and we knew we couldn’t defeat them head-on. So we led the zombies to a precarious glacier and planned to use a snow avalanche triggered by explosives to crush them into pieces.]
[But we didn’t expect that the explosion would unearth a frozen zombie buried deep in the glacier.]
[At first, it was just much stronger than the other zombies, and more intelligent. We killed the other zombies, but it escaped. But we didn’t realize that was just the beginning of a nightmare.]
[This zombie could evolve through learning. By the time we met it again, it could already speak.]
The exit of the ark was right in front of them. Sally shouted, “Pick up the pace!”
Bai Lixin and Song Yuantian immediately quickened their steps.
After a few steps forward, Song Yuantian continued, [The infection of the zombie king is different from that of the infected zombies. It was originally not a zombie, but another kind of monster.]
[In just one day, it learned the habits of zombies through trial and error, and continuously spread the virus, creating a large number of zombie soldiers.]
[It was precisely because of the zombie king’s virus that the virus began to evolve. Ability users that were originally immune to infection began to show signs of infection.]
[We were all careless. We released the most terrifying existence back then.>
Bai Lixin asked, [If it wasn’t infected by the virus and turned into a zombie, then what was it?]
Song Yuantian sighed, [Who knows? Maybe it was the earliest zombie in this world, but it was always frozen. To be honest, the moment I came to this copy and saw this devastated land, I immediately regretted it.]
[It was because of our hasty decision that we doomed this planet.]
Bai Lixin replied, [It’s not your fault.]
He thought of Dr. Sang, who had awakened by himself, [Even if you weren’t here, it would gradually awaken by its own power.]
[Everything happened for a reason, and even if you weren’t a part of it, the critical moment would still have come.]
[The end of the world cannot be changed.]
Song Yuantian said, [I left her body at the top of the glacier. If we can find that glacier, we can find her body.]
Bai Lixin replied, [Just finding the body isn’t enough.]
Surprised, Song Yuantian looked at Bai Lixin and asked, [Why not?]
[In fact, during the battle the day before yesterday, I tried to revive the zombies with the Mermaid Heart but it didn’t work,] explained Bai Lixin. [I suspect that the zombie virus is causing the Mermaid Heart to identify them as healthy and living. Only if we find the antigen, create antibodies and antitoxins, and completely remove the zombie virus from your girlfriend’s body, can we successfully revive her.]
Song Yuantian was confused and asked, [How can this be? Last time I saw you in the Undead copy, the situation of those undead creatures and these zombies were similar, both were undead creatures. Didn’t you revive them directly then? Why can’t you do it now?]
[Do you think this copy is difficult and that the black box is not enough to be the weight of the transaction? What can I give you you? A toke for the event? Or a prop above S rank? ]
Bai Lixin looked at Song Yuantian’s gradually out of control expression, reached out and placed his hand on Song Yuantian’s shoulder, and said in a calm voice, “Stay calm.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t raise the price at the last minute. The situation of this copy is different from that of the previous one.”
“The undead in the Undead copy were cursed. Everything in their bodies had long since died and there were no active entities. Perhaps this is the reason why the Mermaid Heart thought they are truly dead, so they could be revived.”
“But in this copy, there is still an active virus in the zombies’ bodies, and their brains have a crystal driving them. Perhaps to the Mermaid Heart, when the infected class turn into zombies, they had already become another kind of living creature.”
“The Mermaid Heart is indeed capable of healing, but its healing is to restore the body to a healthy state to its original state. In this copy, perhaps decay is the best state for zombies, which is their healthy period. That’s why the Mermaid Heart does not work.”
“I’ve been thinking about why the Mermaid Heart wasn’t working and wasn’t until you told me that the Zombie King might be a completely new species that I had an idea.”
“So we need to completely eliminate the virus from their bodies, first let their bodies return to the definition of ‘animal’ and ‘plant,’ before we can use the Mermaid Heart.”
After listening to Bai Lixin’s words, Song Yuantian gradually calmed down, “You’re right. Making antibodies and antidotes is unavoidable.”
Bai Lixin lowered his voice, “If there’s a chance, we should split up. You go to the ice zone to look for your girlfriend’s body, and I’ll find a way to get the antidote. If the antigen is found and antibodies are quickly produced, we’ll be kicked out of the instance and you won’t be able to continue searching for your girlfriend.”
“Since I passed the test yesterday, I should be able to absorb the crystal nucleus soon. When my ability is enhanced, I’ll probably be sent to search for the antigen.”
Song Yuantian looked at Bai Lixin with some concern, “Okay, let’s go with that plan for now. We’ll deal with any changes as they come.”
They quickly finalized their plans and arrived outside the ark.
On the black and red ground, the overwhelming tide of zombies that could make one’s scalp tingle charged forward.
Bai Lixin’s gaze quickly swept over to the back.
The moment he locked eyes with a special zombie, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Bai Lixin’s mouth.
An old acquaintance.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the special zombie that he had gazed at devoutly a few days ago.
This time, the zombie remembered, and there were two circles of zombies surrounding it.
The fierce amd strong zombies protected the special zombie without any gaps, not even a fly could fly in.
Lin Jue played with the flying knife knife in his hand. It was small in size and could be stored in his pocket and sleeve when transported, so it escaped the fate of being confiscated.
“That seems to be your old friend,” Lin Jue pointed the tip of the flying knife towards the direction of the zombie leader. “Do you want me to send you off? My flying knife is accurate and never misses, hence the nickname ‘Flying Knife God.’”
“Forget it,” Xia Chi had come over at some point. His hands had turned into two guns, and the black gun barrels were aimed at the approaching zombies. “Your flying knife is accurate, but how many of them can you have? Once it’s used up, it’s gone. It’s not like my bullets, they keep coming.”
Suddenly he turned his head towards Bai Lixin, extending his arm towards him. “Brother, look at my hands.”
“Hey, when I want to hug you, I can’t protect you. When I want to protect you, I can’t hug you. If I had to choose, I’d rather choose to protect you!”
“…” Bai Lixin blinked his eyes. “Xia Chi, are you on drugs?”
Xia Chi was stunned for a moment, awkwardly shaking his head. “No. I don’t why but when I saw you, I suddenly wanted to say a cheesy pick-up line. It’s weird, really weird. What’s going on?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
It turned out that it wasn’t Xia Chi who had lost his mind, but rather he was the one who had caused Xia Chi to act this way.
Sally stood behind them, coldly saying, “Do you have time to chat on the battlefield? This is a battlefield! A small mistake could cost you your life!”
Sally roared angrily with his hands behind his back, “Your task today is simple. Use the knowledge I taught you last night to kill every zombie without letting a single one escape. We need a lot of crystal nuclei for research in the Ark, and we cannot let any zombies get away!”
As Sally’s roar echoed, the zombie vanguard in the distance had already reached the battlefield. Behind the vanguard was a huge army of zombies that seemed endless, like a black mire.
The first one to rush out was a man whose whole body was made of metal. The hardness of the metal was far greater than that of the zombies’ teeth and claws. The man used his steel arms to grab the heads of two zombies, mercilessly squeezing them like watermelons and extracting the two crystal nuclei hidden inside.
Sally frowned slightly upon seeing this. “Did you ignore everything I said yesterday? Using metal all over your body will cause your ability to drain quickly. Only use metal on the arms and legs when necessary, so that it can last longer.”
The man took two steps back upon hearing this, slightly away from the battlefield. He took a deep breath, followed Sally’s requirements to only use metal on his limbs and his complexion immediately improved.
After adapting to the change, he once again fiercely charged into the battlefield.
After all, they were high level players. It had only been two days so they were still vigorous. Coupled with Sally’s guidance and reminders, they were like experienced warriors.
This time, it was no longer aimless attacks or frantic escapes without preparation.
At this moment, the players were like a vengeful alliance.
After the humiliation they suffered two days ago, they were determined to reclaim their lost pride from these zombies in front of them.
Sally nodded in approval, whispering to himself, “Very good, this group has very strong abilities.”
As he scanned the battlefield, he suddenly paused.
In a corner of the battlefield, while other abilitiy users were all focused on the fight, seven or eight people were huddled together, whispering and muttering to each other, their conversation unknown to him.
