I looked helplessly at Shen Lin, who was already injured on my arm, and didn't know what to say. Shen Lin is really an extremely strong woman, the injury on her hand may only be a small injury to us, if it is placed on my body, it will not even make my hand feel the slightest pain. There will be no impact on mobility at all. But on Shen Lin's body, such an injury is amazing.

What? Just being scratched by the rock wall when I fell back into the cave? Don't be naïve! But if I hadn't looked closely at the injury, I'm afraid it would have been so naïve! Because, only after I looked closely, I found that Shen Lin's arm muscles had been almost completely cut, although the blood had dried up, and Shen Lin had indeed done a simple bandage. But what's the use of this? The environment at the scene had no way for Shen Lin to properly heal his wounds, but Shen Lin's wounds were now visible to the bone! Even the old clothes he used to bandage were already stained with blood. And Shen Lin's face was also pale, which was a symptom of severe ischemia. But even in the current situation, in Shen Lin's eyes, I still didn't see a trace of pain.

"You... "I really don't know what to say, but I only know now that if Shen Lin doesn't get further treatment, then Shen Lin may fall into a coma due to ischemia at any time until she dies. "Why are you so stupid? I told you, I said I would come back, why did you risk opening that cave? Don't you believe me?"

Now Shen Lin is so weak that she can't stand up anymore. It's just that even so, Shen Lin still smiled and shook his head: "No, of course I believe you." It's just that I'm worried that you won't be able to find your way back when you come back, so I thought I'd leave a sign at the entrance of the cave so that you can see it as soon as you come back and not get lost. It's just that I didn't expect to see a zombie wandering around the cave as soon as I got out of the cave, and then I was scared, so I stumbled and fell back into the cave, and then I was scratched. But it's nothing, it's just a small wound. It's okay. ”

"Small wound?" I was stunned, but I couldn't help but be angry: "You actually said that this is a small wound? Maybe such a wound is nothing to me, but for you, do you know, even if you have simply bandaged your wound now, but there is still no way to completely stop the bleeding, you know?

"I know, I do. Shen Lin smiled reluctantly, but at this time, the wound on her arm broke open again, and the blood began to flow uncontrollably. "It's okay, I'm okay. And how can I be treated here? I'm a doctor, and I probably know more than you do, and not only that, but even if I don't die of shock, I can die of an infected wound. Death from infection is probably a more terrible way to die than shock. Even, I could even get infected with the zombie virus that I was exposed to, and that's the most feared way to die, you know?"

For Shen Lin's despair, I naturally can't sit idly by. After a while, I reluctantly persuaded, "How is it possible, you are the first prehistoric human I have encountered, so it is even more unlikely that I would let you die like this." By the way, don't you know which direction Tiandu is in?" "I'll take you, I'll take you to find a cure." That way, you'll be fine. Besides ... How is it possible to have an exposed zombie virus now? ”

"No, it's useless. And the last base I'm talking about isn't a celestial city at all. Shen Lin shook his head and said indifferently: "What is the current condition of my own body, I'm afraid only I understand better." I know you're comforting me, but you're doing it the wrong way to comfort a head nurse in this way. And, Tiandu, no, I mean that base is hundreds of kilometers away from us, and by the time you bring me there, I'm afraid I'll have either turned into a corpse or become a zombie I hate. If, I mean, if I do show signs of turning into a zombie, please kill me before I can control myself and eventually become a zombie. Kill me. ”

It seems that Shen Lin has already started to plan for his future. It's just that how could I just let her get her wish? There's no need to stay here now. There is no food here, no medicine that can treat Shen Lin, staying here can only be a dead end. Wait, wait! I think I forgot something, but I can save people! Why did I forget before?

And if I really can't take Shen Lin to that base in enough time, there is only one way to save her life. But now the question is whether Shen Lin will accept me using this method to save her. After all, even if Banksy died, he didn't want me to use such a method to save her life. And now, is Shen Lin willing me to use this method to save her?

In the end, I made up my mind and whispered to her, "Actually, I can save you." ”

Shen Lin immediately looked at me with extremely surprised eyes and asked, "What, it turns out that you also stutter?" After a while, he said, "I just believe that you have a way to treat me." Tell me, and let me see if I have to pay something. ”

Well, it looks like she knows that there is a price to be paid to saving her. It made me speechless for a moment, how could I tell her that I could save her, but in other words, I would be killing her.

Shen Lin looked at me who was hesitant and asked, "Alas, it seems that I guessed correctly." Let's say, what kind of price did I have to pay to be able to get back to health. Of course, if I were to become a zombie, I wouldn't do it. ”

You won't become a zombie, but you will become an existence similar to a zombie, and this existence can no longer be called a "human". Still, it was the only way I could think of to save her life. However, no matter what, whether Shen Lin will choose to be rescued in this way depends on herself. Finally, I said something like this to her: "You guessed it, Shen Lin. I can save you, but you do have to pay a price. Although this kind of price may not be as unacceptable as turning you into a zombie, for many people in my world, if you are saved by me, it is even more unacceptable than becoming a zombie. Shen Lin, I ask you very solemnly now, are you willing to become a member of the undead clan?"

"Uh, you, what are you talking about, what undead?" Shen Lin looked a little surprised by my question, and at the same time was a little confused by the question I asked. It took me a moment to react and ask me, "You mean, you made me a dead man?" Oh my God, what's the difference between that and death?"

"Death, what death?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that maybe in this era, there is no such race as undead. And the undead in this world seem to be something similar to ghosts that can only be produced after death. However, ghosts are also ethereal in this world, and there is nothing that has been proven at all. In other words, these humans in this era don't know what the undead are. Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "Of course the undead are not what you say. But what exactly are the undead? I can't say, but if you look at me, you know what the undead are. ”

Unexpectedly, after I finished saying this, Shen Lin's eyes flashed with little stars, and she said a little exaggeratedly: "Yes, I almost forgot, in fact, you are an undead! However, after saying this, Shen Lin asked with some hesitation: "By the way, can you tell me what kind of price I will have to pay after becoming an undead? ”

"What is it that will never be reborn?" Although I don't know much about what Shen Lin said, it sounds a little scary. We undead wouldn't really have such a price.

Now, it was Shen Lin's turn to look at me with a gaze full of surprise. After a while, Shen Lin showed an expression of being defeated by me. It's just that at this time, Shen Lin coughed up a little blood, which made me very heartbroken, "The so-called eternal life cannot be reborn, that is, after a person dies, his soul cannot reincarnate, but will always struggle and suffer in hell." Mmmm, that's probably what it means. But you've never heard of such a statement, and it must have disappeared long ago by your time. Whew. Then, after becoming an undead, there should still be some price. ”

I nodded and sighed, "It's inevitable. But by becoming an undead, you gain a special ability that no other race can envy, and that is that you will gain eternal life unless you are killed. ”

It's just that Shen Lin doesn't seem to be very interested in such a temptation, but writes lightly: "Eternal life, it looks good." So is there any other cost?"

"Maybe. "I'm a little embarrassed about Shen Lin's indifference to immortality. And to cover it up: "I've been an undead for thousands of years, and I don't find much of a change except that I'm slightly colder emotionally than I was as an elf. The seven emotions and six desires that you have, we also have. It's just a little lighter. Okay, I've already said that. Your injuries are getting worse and worse now, and if you are willing to accept it, then I will begin to turn you into my kindred. ”

"I see. Shen Lin nodded thoughtfully, and said such a sentence: "Hmm, can I understand it this way, if I choose to become an undead, then that is, I will completely change from the current human identity to the undead identity." In other words, there is one less human in this world?"

I nodded slightly.

After seeing my admission, Shen Lin's face became sad. said lightly: "If this is really the case, it is really a very sad thing." After all, no one wants to change from one race to another. ”

Alas. It seems that even Shen Lin, like Banksy, would rather die than change his identity. Could it be that as an undead, it is so unacceptable to be accepted? But at this time, Shen Lin's next words brought a great turnaround.

"But, but now being a human being, it's too tiring. Suddenly, Shen Lin said: "Now, how many human beings are there in our country and in this world? hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, thousands, or even only a few hundred? Or is there only one left? I don't know, I really don't know." And now, the zombies that were originally human beings are becoming more and more, and as you have already said, in the end, we humans are completely exterminated by these zombies. Actually, I don't want to die, but I also don't want to become a zombie or something like that, so becoming an undead seems to be a good choice. By the way, you undead didn't turn from those zombies, did you?"

"This one isn't. I replied in the affirmative, at least not at all. "The undead are basically transformed from other races, not just humans. After the zombies became new humans, many other races were born. For example, I used to be an elf. So, you don't have to worry. ”

Shen Lin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, ma'am, just let me become an undead." After I become undead, I want to these new humans who have destroyed my race ... Forget it, alas, to become an undead means to get rid of everything that came before. ”

When Shen Lin said this, my clenched fist finally quietly put down. If Shen Lin wants to become an undead to take revenge, then I must kill her. Fortunately, now, she doesn't have that much grudge against this relationship. "Have you decided?" I asked, with a light sigh.
