Chapter 14: The Negotiation of Sorrow

CHAPTER XIII

There was nothing in the huge culture chamber, but the yellowed water on the surface of the glass walls was a clear surface, which was once used here. Su Yanzhi looked up at the cultivation cabin suspiciously, and intuitively told him that the things he had raised before must be related to this zombie incident. Bending his fingers against the transparent wall, the crisp sound immediately echoed throughout the room.

- Wu You, did you see what was in here at the time?

- No, I was tied to the operating table, which was my blind spot.

Because of his involvement, Wu You rarely let go of his temporary hostility and turned to cooperate with Su Yanzhi. Knowing Wu You's thoughts, Su Yanzhi nodded unexpectedly, and then put his thoughts in the research room.

Things here look chaotic, and although there are many instruments, they are all simple and useless, and the important ones seem to have been removed long ago. Su Yanzhi tried to find some leftover reports and the like, but he searched every corner and found not a single piece of paper. Raising his hands and hugging his chest, finding nothing made Su Yanzhi a little annoyed.

It seems that something must have happened here before that led everyone to retreat urgently.

No, Su Yanzhi could only withdraw from the institute.

Outside, the fog was still thick, like his mood at the moment, he thought that he could find some clues, but it turned out to be completely in vain. Su Yanzhi leaned on the stone mountain and pondered, the road to the research institute has been broken, if you want to find a way to turn back into a human, then you have to start from somewhere else.

It's just that...... What's next?

Su Yanzhi, who was contemplative, inadvertently saw a shallow wound on his arm, and something flashed quickly in his mind-this wound was left over from the time he absorbed Jinke, and before that, this body was rotten all over his body.

Su Yan subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, except that it became a little rough, it seemed to be the same as before.

It seems that evolution has made itself more like a human being, so ...... Is it possible to use evolution to turn back into a human?

As soon as this idea came to mind, it immediately filled Su Yanzhi's mind, making him can't help but stiffen the corners of his mouth. But recalling that Wu You had frantically absorbed Jinko earlier and lost control of his consciousness, Su Yanzhi calmed down again.

――What exactly is Jinko?

Obviously, Su Yanzhi was asking Wu You.

- If you give me back your body, I will sue you.

- Tsk, I can find it myself.

Su Yanzhi's answer made Wu You angry, but he quickly calmed down again. Regarding the connection between zombies and crystal nuclei, he originally planned to use these to make himself stronger, but he didn't expect to be drilled by Su Yanzhi for a while, but even if he didn't say it, the other party would find out sooner or later, so it was better to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate the conditions. Thinking of this, Wu You took a breath, and then said slowly.

- I can sue you, but I have the conditions.

- Tell me about it.

――Let me return to my body at least once a day!

Su Yan didn't feel any surprise at all about this condition, only to see him snort coldly, and then spoke.

- Wishful thinking.

After saying that, Su Yanzhi planned to ignore Wu You anymore, raised his feet and wanted to leave this place, but Wu You actually guessed his thoughts, and then shouted loudly in his head, fighting for his own welfare.

- Wait! I know far more than you think! It's definitely better than wasting your time fumbling! And it's not the first time we've worked together, don't you know my character!

The pace of progress stopped suddenly, and Su Yanzhi recalled Wu You's god-like behavior during this time, and he was really a little moved for a while, but thinking that it was so difficult for him to regain his body, he began to be cautious again.

――How do I know if what you say is true or false......

――You may also be aware that in the past, when you regained your body, there was a time limit, and every time the time was up, you would fall asleep for a while, but this time there was nothing at all, don't you want to know why?

Knowing that Wu You wanted to reveal some information to make him trust, Su Yanzhi stood with his chest hugged meaningfully, signaling Wu You to continue, and Wu You was also very cooperative.

――Because of the crystal nucleus, I absorbed a lot of Jinko's energy before, which made the energy in our bodies enough to support the two of us to exchange control without getting tired.

- Hmph, how do you know?

- I just know anyway! And it's absolutely true!

It's weird...... Wu You silently added in his heart. In fact, why Su Yanzhi didn't have a time limit this time, Wu You didn't know the reason at all, what he said was all blind guessing, and he was just fooling the other party. For him, as long as Su Yanzhi is willing to give up the main control, as for whether the other party will have a time limit after returning it to him, it is not within his consideration.

And Wu You's "affirmative" speech did make Su Yanzhi believe a little, he pondered for a while, and continued with a doubt.

- How do I know if you'll regret it when you're in control?

- Hmph, didn't I keep my promise to help you avenge you!

In fact, Wu You did think that he would never return it to Su Yanzhi after he got the main control, but thinking that the consequence of doing so would be to tense his nerves at all times and not let the other party take advantage of it, he felt so tired, and for this reason, he would rather abide by the agreement than exhaust himself.

Su Yanzhi naturally did not feel ashamed of Wu You's accusation, on the contrary, he frankly felt that he was not wrong at all. I saw him hesitate for a moment, and then raised his hand and made a high-five motion in the air.

-- Deal.

This is the second cooperation between Wu You and Su Yanzhi, compared to the last time half threatening and half forced to be helpless, this time it is the first time that the two of them have negotiated calmly, without external pressure, plus after so many years, the two have also had a certain tacit understanding, and they are not worried about the other party's regret at all for mutually beneficial cooperation.

-- Since you agreed, let's talk about the content of the agreement.

- Shhh......h

Just when Wu You was satisfied and wanted to discuss further with Su Yanzhi, Su Yanzhi suddenly turned his head to look at the grass not far away! I saw him take a few steps back vigilantly, and his blood-red eyes stared at the grass that didn't seem to be abnormal—just now, he felt a dangerous aura coming from there, and his intuition told him that there was definitely something that threatened his life!

Subconsciously called up the map from his mind, and wanted to control the zombies near him to check, but the one on it was so clean that there was not a single red dot, and suddenly, Su Yan was annoyed when he figured out something.

Why didn't I think that this is obviously the birthplace of zombies, but there are no zombies...... If you think about it carefully, this is not a zombie at all, and the zombies have disappeared!
