Chapter 103，Part 2: Save the saviour (9.2)
The researcher called Da Huang soon came over. This person was muscular all over and appeared to be in his 40s. He didn’t look like an elite researcher at all. Instead, he looked more like a fitness trainer. As soon as he came over, his eyes lit up as he stared at Yi Xiao. If it weren’t because Great Zombie King Yi’s grandeur was a little too terrifying, he might have already gone up to touch him. But now, even if he couldn’t touch, he was still circling around him.
“Judging from your figure, your body isn’t a muscular type at all. You even look a little malnourished and your face is too pale. How can such a body directly smash my testing machine?! I heard that you blew up a third level zombie with one punch? Based on what I’ve observed from your body structure, when you blew up that zombie, you yourself should have also exploded! But look, you’re completely fine! Do you practise some especially powerful technique? For instance, Shao Lin‘s golden shield, iron cloth or something? Besides this, I can’t think of any other method that can make a body become so tough.”
Yi Xiao expressionlessly looked at this guy whose eyes were shining. He couldn’t speak, and neither did he want to speak. However, it seemed like this Da Huang was determined to know the answer to this question. He stared at Yi Xiao and didn’t let him go. “Why don’t you try my newly invented laser pulse gun? This thing can strike zombies and save a lot of energy. However, it’s not very useful against high level zombies. There’s also the energy armour bracelet I designed. So long as an ability user inputs their ability into the bracelet, the bracelet can let out an ability attack at critical moments, or use the ability to construct a defensive wall. Currently, the most popular abilities are that of nature type ability users. There would be people looking for them every day and asking them to input their abilities into their bracelets.”
Ren Zhu was quite surprised. This guy really did make quite a lot of practical things.
“He can’t speak. Didn’t you find that his body movements are very stiff? Before the apocalypse, he had a strange illness and was recuperating in the same villa as me. He looks a lot like the Jiang Shi in ancient folk tales; his actions are stiff and he can’t speak. As for me, I felt that I suddenly gained an ability, but no one believed me. So, the anomaly between the two of us may have something to do with previous events. However, his recent movements have become more and more flexible. His body might have recovered somewhat after gaining an ability.”
Ren Zhu spoke a bunch of nonsense for Yi Xiao.
Hearing this however, Da Huang nodded, feeling that it was very reasonable.
“Sure enough, you two are special cases. It’s pretty much what I had thought. We should first let Xiao Bai study your blood.”
Elite researcher Da Huang left after he finished speaking. Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao were then blocked off by Xiao Bai. Yi Xiao was subjected to a whole session of pestering and harassing in order to get his blood drawn, but Researcher Bai still didn’t succeed in the end. Yi Xiao raised a leg and kicked him out. Of course, he controlled his strength, but everyone in the research room still had an expression of shock. Someone was actually brave enough to kick Reaper Bai! However, the next scene made them stupefied once again. Not only was Reaper Bai not angry, he looked at the two strands of hair in his hand and smiled as though he had won 5 million kilograms of food.
Ren Zhu: “…… I give him 32 likes for his dedication.”
The five big shots were all a little embarrassed. However, it was still Old Meng who said in the end: “Right, right. They are all doing this for the future of this world!”
Ren Zhu: “Alright, I believe in your efforts. Yi Xiao and I will also contribute our strengths. We will go and report to the ability team tomorrow. Are there any missions that require our participation?”
The big shots were very happy with Ren Zhu’s initiative. “Do some small missions first. Our researcher Ah Hong found a few areas where the virus is very active and also some areas where the virus is not so active. When the time comes, we need you guys to go to these places and find out the reason. In addition, there are two small bases on the verge of collapse that sent us SOS signals a few days ago. They are not far from us, so we want to dispatch some people to take a look at the situation and also save some people along the way.”
Ren Zhu narrowed his eyes when he heard this: “Are zombies attacking the bases?”
The only woman amongst the big shots, who looked like a kind old granny, shook her head: “That possibility is very small. Our satellites still haven’t been cut off, so from the images captured by the satellites, we can see that before the two bases collapsed, there wasn’t a substantial increase in the number of zombies. This is the strangest place, and also the place which we need to guard against the most. Hence, we need to dispatch people to go there and take a look.”
Ren Zhu nodded. Half an hour later, he and Yi Xiao returned to their residence. Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei still hadn’t slept, but when they saw Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao return safe and sound, the two youngsters finally relaxed their tense hearts. Gou Jian Fei also wanted to come over and report on the situation of others, but Ren Zhu waved his hand: “It’s almost midnight. Even if it’s now the apocalypse, we don’t need to stay up late and slowly wreck our bodies. Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning.”
Thus, Mao Gan Cao and Gou Jian Fei quickly washed up and went to bed. This night was probably the soundest sleep they’ve had in a while.
Ren Zhu also briefly washed up. After all, they had already been forced to shower when they entered the base. There was no need to waste any more water. It was just that when he laid down in bed, he discovered a very serious problem. He expressionlessly turned his head and looked at Yi Xiao who was lying completely like a corpse beside him. He blinked:
“Can you sleep on the floor?”
Hearing this, Great Zombie King Yi practically looked someone who was cheated on by his wife. He used a speed completely different to his previous slow walking posture and rapidly turned his head, his eyes glinting like light bulbs.
The king didn’t speak, but just from his eyes, Teacher Ren could see his gloominess, anger, grievance and accusation that Ren Zhu was being unreasonable.
“Um, alright. Nevertheless, you have to be considerate of my feelings. Even if we are husbands who grew old together, lying down with a corpse would still feel pretty terrible, wouldn’t it? Okay, stop glaring, go to sleep. I was just asking a question, it’s not like I was ordering you.” Teacher Ren nervously said.
“Then, when exactly can you start speaking? If you’re always like this, I might still make you sleep on the floor.”
Great King Yi angrily slapped the bed. He then turned his back against his partner and went to sleep. Ren Zhu looked at the hand print that was slapped into the bed. “Oh. 5 days later? Then 5 days it is. Otherwise, I really won’t let you sleep in bed.”
Great King Yi: You think I care?! You think I care?! Now the entire world is mine! Even if I want to sleep on a bed that’s several thousands of square metres big, I can make the zombies build that bed for me just by moving my fingers! Lao Zi has such a big golden thigh, you still dare to dislike Lao Zi’s sleeping posture?!
The angry and indignant Great King Yi decided not to tell Ren Zhu what he had discovered in the research lab, the fact that the virus was very sensitive to spiritual energy…… At least, he should wait until tomorrow to say it!!
