Another peaceful night.

Since the outbreak of the zombie frenzy, Song Xiaocheng still sleeps soundly every night. After all, there is a skill, and you are not afraid of horizontal and vertical. If a few days ago, I was occasionally worried about the safety of my parents and it was a little difficult to sleep, then not long ago, I heard that only two urban areas in X City, Nancheng, had suffered a disaster, and they had been blocked in time, even if it was on the hardwood chair in Hou Xiaolin's nest the day before yesterday, Song Xiaocheng could sleep calmly for a night.

But last night, Song Xiaocheng had insomnia.

Lin Yu slept beside him like a dead cat, his delicate lips pressed against the pillow, and his saliva soaked half of the pillow. Song Xiaocheng stared at him, and he couldn't sleep with anger.

After flipping through it, Song Xiaocheng quietly took Xiaoyu's mobile phone, rubbed his fingerprint with his thumb to unlock it, and kept swiping piles of self-media and news applications. Zeng Yi mistakenly said that it was right, and now the Internet is full of news about the City of the Dead in City X.

Although the news report "Approaching the New Area of the City of the Dead: China's First Economic Pilot Zone for the Undead" is not comprehensive, it also reveals enough information: although what Mr. Zeng said is not accurate - the former Hetai District and Dujiang New Area are now only "proposed" to be reclassified as the Special Zone of the City of the Dead with the so-called "economy of the dead" as the main development direction - but the position and tendency of this report are already very obvious. In the press release, Hiratsuka and Oni were even described as "low-key scholars who have devoted decades to the science of death and flesh technology" and "dedicated to the application of underworld technology to civilian purposes." However, another statement that softened Song Xiaocheng's mood a little was that "there are no plans to further expand the scope of the test zone at present."

At first, Song Xiaocheng was a little puzzled: What kind of technology and products could be used in the rotten zombie and flesh workshop in the "civilian field"? But at the end of that press release, a small page advertisement instantly solved his doubts.

"Rejuvenating Mask, Facial SPA Resurrecting the Dead!"

I hope Lin Yu hasn't seen this advertisement, Song Xiaocheng thought sadly.

In several other advertisements, the "Dead Rejuvenation Technology" has been described as the latest generation of skin care ideas - after all, there are so many living examples in X City that can really "bring the dead back to life". Although the skin condition of the zombie model on the advertising screen is really different from the state that Song Xiaocheng has seen with his own eyes in the past few days.

In addition to skin care products, there are also flesh-and-blood-themed clothing, bone jewelry, and a series of dark strain fast food, among which there is a yogurt with "ultra-low temperature clean fermentation" as the selling point (activated magic low-temperature fermentation, magically fresh taste!) even made Song Xiaocheng a little excited.

He hadn't been in contact with the online world for more than a week, but he really didn't expect it to be such a scene at this time. The major public accounts on the media are boasting about the products of the City of the Dead, and almost every page opened is news related to the City of the Dead, everyone is talking about necromancy, and even many people are sighing when the City of the Dead will be open for tourism. When a few popular science users pointed out the possible harm or even conspiracy of necromantic products, they were immediately inundated with comments of opposition and ridicule, and many people were sarcastic that "science is already a thing of the past".

If it's just selling things and advertising, Song Xiaocheng thinks it's nothing, after all, everyone is a slave of capital. But when he saw that some opponents directly pointed out the brutal and bloody acts of zombies in X City, the vast majority of voices believed that "zombies and undead are just another form of life, which should not only be respected by life, but also should enjoy equal rights with humans", and the killing of zombies is generally considered to be a "natural and completely reasonable life behavior".

Seeing this, Song Xiaocheng couldn't help but feel stunned: What's wrong with this world? Is there no distinction between good and evil?

Until it was almost noon, Song Xiaocheng was just lying on the bed and constantly swiping his mobile phone, trying to find some news from the thousands of tweets that frustrated him. However, it is a pity that until Lin Yu impatiently snatched away the mobile phone, he couldn't find what he wanted to see.

Slowly sitting up, looking at the yellow-green sunlight mixed with the window outside, Song Xiaocheng felt as if something was blocking his throat.

He didn't really know what the end times Ganesha had shown him. But all these great changes in the current situation may be the beginning of the end.

A few days ago, he also promised Yuan Zhangsu that he would help him kill the murderer of the innocent girl with his own hands, until one night ago, he was still excited that Mr. Zeng would be able to help him do this. However, now, the powerful magic wand was placed on the table on the bed, and Song Xiaocheng didn't even have the heart to look at it.

At noon, Song Xiaocheng went downstairs to the lobby of the hotel, and there was a strong fragrance. Everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing, except for a few zombies who were still fiddling with various machines, and Mr. Zeng was sitting on a few sofas with the other zombies in groups eating lunch.

"Hey, Xiaocheng, come and eat!"

Song Xiaocheng originally planned to talk to Teacher Zeng about the City of the Dead, and by the way, apologize for his impulsiveness and unreasonableness last night, but at a glance, he saw Lin Yu holding a small bowl and eating with the zombies.

It's really strange, some zombies gnaw the living people on the streets, and some zombies sit in five-star hotels and eat lunch with chopsticks and small bowls of blue and white porcelain.

"Wow! Teppanyaki!" Song Xiao didn't have much energy, but when he glanced at what was on the coffee table, his eyes immediately lit up - a huge beef rib was placed on a whole iron plate, and a soft red light hit the meat steak, and after a while, it emitted a tempting sizzling sound and the smell of meat, and then a few barely visible wires automatically cut the meat steak into small pieces. Although the details are different, judging by the aroma and ingredients, this is probably some kind of barbecue.

"It's great-grandpa's laser rotisserie!"

Lin Yu said happily as he squeezed Teacher Zeng hard, wanting to give up a place for Song Xiaocheng between himself and the zombie girl Lily. The little old man complained half-truthfully, "It's the LZ-8 laser cooking module", and at the same time tried to give way to the side.

Okay, okay. Whatever you're not happy about, don't be upset about the barbecue. No matter how unhappy it is, as long as you have barbecue to eat, it will definitely be cool.

Before Song Xiaocheng could sit down, the zombies at the table all let out a gurgling sound, probably welcoming him to the barbecue party. At the same time, there was an electronic announcement from the laser rotisserie, prompting that "a new diner has joined the meal".

The zombie girl Lily let out a soft hissing and clicking sound from her mouth as she handed her clothes, dishes and chopsticks to Song Xiaocheng's hand. Only then did Song Xiaocheng notice that Lily's eyes were not dead white like other zombies, but faintly emitted a white light. When I looked closer, it turned out that the other zombies at the table were also like this.

Song Xiaocheng was just about to pick a piece of good meat for himself, but found that the meat steak on the iron plate had been snatched up, and even Xiao Yu grabbed a large piece of barbecue, but he could only watch the machine automatically clean up the oil residue on the iron plate while putting a piece of raw meat again. When she was sad, Lily next to her picked up a piece of ribs that were still foaming slightly and put it in Song Xiaocheng's bowl.

Song Xiaocheng was a little embarrassed for a while, turned his head to look at his girlfriend, and happened to meet Lin Yu's eyes. Lin Yu showed an exaggerated smile, leaned over Song Xiaocheng's bowl and said:

"Hee-hee! Lily likes you!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu took the piece of meat in Song Xiaocheng's bowl with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. When Song Xiaocheng turned his head to look at the zombie girl again, Lily just stared quietly at the piece of raw meat on the iron plate and didn't say anything.

"Teacher Zeng?" Song Xiaocheng felt that he should not fall into this kind of boring thing, and it was better to do something serious as soon as possible, "How long are we going to live with you?"

Teacher Zeng was struggling to chew on a piece of unevenly roasted beef, and even Song Xiaocheng, who was separated by Lin Yu, could hear a creaking chewing sound.

"What's the matter, you don't like me here?"

"Uh, I like it. But ......" Song Xiaocheng was polite, and just as he was about to prepare, he was interrupted by the little old man again.

"Then you don't like zombies?"

As soon as Lao Zeng's words came out, all the zombies who were originally eating barbecue stopped and stared at Song Xiaocheng with a pair of miserable white eyes.

"This ...... Absolutely loved. ”

"Then you don't like Lily?" Zeng asked casually as he continued to lower his head and bite into the beef.

Song Xiaocheng first glanced at the zombie girl with his spare eyes - still staring at the baking tray, and then turned his head to look at Lin Yu, only to find that Lin Yu was squinting at himself.

"Hello...... Hurrah. ”

"If you like it, you can live there!"

In all fairness, after the zombie outbreak, this night at the Western Hotel was the most comfortable night he slept on, not to mention that there was barbecue to eat, but it was not a way to live here all the time.

"I have other things to do, it's good to live here with you, but the plot can't be advanced! ”

Zeng Yi mistakenly opened his big mouth and laughed for a while, and even the unfinished beef in his mouth was exposed.

"Well, you will sleep with me for the rest of the night tonight, until tomorrow night. The morning after tomorrow, if you want to leave, I won't keep you anymore if you want to do something, or if you don't want to stay, okay?"

Going to stay two more days. Song Xiaocheng hesitated for a moment, revealing a little embarrassment. He was really a little anxious, he wanted to leave here quickly, go to the Flame Brotherhood to find Yuan Zhangsu, and tell him about Hiratsuka Xie Heizuka and the ghost, and then he was going back to Gao He and ask him what he thought about the zombie whitewashing and rectification. The most important thing is that he has to go back to find Huan Lingyu and ask Huan Shao if he has studied those materials well and whether he has figured out what the "Great Rune" is.

"Ah...... Okay, for the sake of the barbecue, let's stay for two more days. But can you tell me what I'm staying with you for?"

"Haha! That's right, boy, you want to know why, don't you?

"Why do you have to tell me tomorrow?"

"Now, they're all busy eating meat, who cares! Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's business!"
