"Well, has it changed? I hid my inner joy and looked back at her carefully. Well, yes, the scar on the arm has healed, and it doesn't look any different from before in every way. In addition, because she became an undead, the color of her hair turned pale. It's just that compared to her pale skin, the color of her hair can only be described as silver. In addition, I also found out that Shen Lin, who had always been smiling before, didn't smile at me this time. This made my heart feel a tingle, but I still said lightly: "It's good to change, from now on, I will be a member of the undead clan." Is there anything you'd like to know about this?"

I only saw Shen Lin stand up, then check his current physical condition, and then said, "Well, ma'am, I'm very satisfied." For now, I'm still very used to who I am. But, ma'am, I don't think I'm missing something. ”

"Huh?" I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What do you want to say you're missing?"

"Why, I can't laugh anymore?"

As far as I know, laughter is nothing more than the muscles of the face, and in the eyes of our undead, it is impossible to express our inner feelings in such a way that the muscles of the face twitch, of course, the joys, sorrows, and sorrows are the same. "Can't laugh? What do you mean, does it make any difference to you whether you laugh or not?"

"Of course, of course. Shen Lin's expression looked very confused, and he said blankly: "Because when I was still a human being, I relied on optimism to survive in this apocalyptic world until now." Even if it's just me living alone, I can rely on a smile to keep motivating myself to survive in this apocalypse. But now, although I have gained a new life and become a new race, I find that I can't laugh. Ma'am, can you tell me why this is the case?"

Of course, I know why. This is the price that other races have to pay when they become undead. A long time ago, when I was an elf, I used to be like her, and her personality was not at all as cold as an iceberg now. But after becoming an undead, it seems that emotions have completely left me. Come to think of it, this emotion is what I lost after I became an undead from an elf.

Of course, there are still beings who can become undead without losing anything, and that kind of existence is the most orthodox undead like Azer. Indeed, only an orthodox undead like Aize can have seven emotions and six desires like humans, and all other than them who are converted into undead by other races will lose all their emotions and desires.

However, in fact, when the undead high-level decided whether to let such an undead be born, our race also held a top-secret memory for this purpose. Only seven people attended the meeting, including me. The content of this meeting was that six of them argued as to whether the creation of such a pure undead was permissible, and if even one of them objected to the proposal, the proposal would fail. And if six people are on the same page on this issue, then they are eligible to involve the seventh person, and this seventh person has a higher veto. In other words, if the seventh person disagrees, then no matter how the previous six people agree on this issue, it will not play any role, even if it is to kill him. And at that time, I was this seventh man, no, no, the seventh undead.

At first, I was in the dark about whether or not to let such a pure undead spirit be born. Why? The reason couldn't be simpler. First of all, the undead are destined to have no emotions and six desires. Because after becoming undead, we, the first generation of undead, feel that the so-called seven emotions and six desires not only cannot play any positive role in the existence and continuation of the undead, but will make us the same as those ordinary races, making it the Achilles heel of our undead race.

Are undead spirits with seven emotions and six desires still undead? I really don't know. Just like humans and zombies in this era, can humans who only feed on humans still be considered humans? Of course not. It is also because of this that the previous human beings will be extinct from this world, and a new human will appear, which is the previous zombies.

So, that alone I can use it to oppose that unreasonable proposal countless times. And I do, I do. But no matter what, whether I refuse once, twice, or ten, eight, or even hundreds, they will always take the trouble to make such an offer.

I was annoyed by this offer, and at one point I didn't want to be this embarrassing seventh person again. However, there is never any struggle for power within our dead souls. Even though I alone rejected such proposals again and again, the other six councillors simply continued to gather materials for the next proposal, and did not use other methods to eliminate me. Yes, that's better than the other races, because it seems to me that all other races are like this, even the race before me, the elves. Where there is life, there will be a struggle for power, however, the undead are lifeless, and they have no emotions and six desires.

Therefore, I find it very puzzling to me that the proposals put forward by these parliamentarians. Because why would a group of undead who voluntarily gave up their seven emotions and six desires be so persistent in wanting to let the undead with seven emotions and six desires appear? Don't they know that such undead are actually closer to human beings?

However, in the last proposal, one of the hospitals said to me: "Ma'am, I know that this is a proposal that you must veto. We understand why you rejected this proposal, because for it seems like a fantasy for us to restore the undead to their passions, and after the undead have emotions, will they still be the undead? However, now we can't help but ask Fan Wen, we have no emotions, are we a race, or a group of puppets?"

"Because there are no emotions, we have very little fear, anger and joy. But in the same way, without emotion, we are destined to have no creative ability. Thousands of years have passed, and it has been thousands of years since our first undead were born, but instead of making any progress, we are still failing. The gradual decline from one empire to three kingdoms of humanity can keep us out of the real world. For thousands of years, our technology, our culture, and our status have not only not advanced, but are still retreating! Madam, please think about it, maybe without feelings, we can continue smoothly as the undead, but if we have feelings, we may regain our glory! Ma'am, why is it that our generation of undead has no ambition to do anything but cling to our current territory and ignore other lands that belong to us and allow other races to live in these lands. We believe that the reason why we are facing such a dilemma is that we lack initiative. And enterprising spirit is something that only people with feelings have. And whether it is orcs, barbarians, or other races on the continent, including humans, they all have such an enterprising spirit. So, we can't go on like this. ”

I looked at this detailed report, and it contained not only the words that stated it all, but also how to give our descendants the emotions that only those who have a living race. There are even dozens of points listed for this purpose, and there are dozens of experimental records.

I know very well how these experimental records were obtained, and behind each of them was one or more undead compatriots who contributed to us at the cost of their own lives, but luckily, such experiments were ultimately successful. And Azer is the best talent among the new generation of undead.

As for Shen Lin, he can only be an undead of the older generation like me. Although her actual age is much younger than Ai Ze, but just from the perspective of seniority, Shen Lin is my peer and Ai Ze's senior. But Shen Lin is also the same as me, losing her emotions.

I wanted to apologize to her, but now I didn't want to say anything else, I just said to her coldly, "Do you think it's funny to laugh? I don't think so." Because after we become undead, everything before us has nothing to do with us. Right now, you still don't seem to be very familiar with the undead, so it's best to take advantage of this time to really get used to your new identity. Then we went to find our companion, Viren. In this way, it will be possible for us to return to our time. ”

I deliberately added the five words "our era" very seriously, in order to let Shen Lin know that this place, this era, actually has nothing to do with her.

"Heh, hehe. I saw that Shen Lin's facial muscles twitched at this time, and it seemed that she wanted to laugh, but although she tried several times, she didn't succeed in laughing every time. So he could only say to me in a very dry tone: "However, I think smiling is a part of my life." Look, ma'am, I can't laugh anymore, even if I force myself to twitch my muscles, I can't make myself laugh. Why, why is this happening. ”

I turned my back to her again and said, "It's easy, there's no need to say it. But since you want to know, I'll tell you that this is the first step you want to take to become the undead. In the future, you're going to experience more things like this, so I don't think you need to dwell on these things, understand?"

"Well, I see, I see. After Shen Lin finished saying this, he squatted by the wall and thought silently.

This makes me wonder, because judging by the situation before our undead, it seems that our generation of undead does not want to and will not think about so many questions. But Shen Lin didn't know what he was thinking about now?

But I didn't feel much interest in it, and let her rest there. Rest, for our souls, is also necessary. So I also took this opportunity to take a good rest, after all, after killing those two somewhat special female zombies, my physical strength has not been restored.

When I woke up again, it was still daytime. It's just that I know very well that it's at least the next day. I glanced at Shen Lin and found that she had already gotten up, and was sitting on the side constantly twitching her facial muscles. When he saw that I had woken up, he said to me, "Ma'am, I realize that what you said is not entirely right. ”

"Not all right?" I was stunned: "What is wrong with me?"

"Ma'am, you said that after becoming an undead, you have no feelings. For this topic, Shen Lin seemed very serious, she said: "But after my discovery in one night, I found that we still have feelings. And, I'm still thinking about it. Thinking about why I can't laugh now. Later, I found out that it was actually related to what you said. But it doesn't matter anymore, I think I still have enough time to get my smile again. ”

Then, Shen Lin did the action of smiling again, but it was still unsuccessful. But it seems that she is no longer discouraged.

I laughed too, though my expression was almost as stiff as hers. "Yes, you're right. But that's not what we're going to do now. If you're ready, then we can set off to find our companion, and I guess I'm at a loss to face this completely strange world. ”

Shen Lin nodded, walked to the door of the cave door, and then opened the moving secret door. This time, instead of hurting her arm out of fear, as she had done last time, she let out a long cry at the entrance of the cave: "Ma'am, look, there are zombies, there are zombies!"

I followed Shen Lin out of the cave, and then saw that there were indeed more than a hundred zombies outside. However, in the face of these zombies, Shen Lin was no longer afraid.

It's good that you're not afraid, yes, it's good not to be afraid.
