Chapter 74: The Rebirth of the Zombie Emperor
After the sadness, many details resurfaced in my mind, the sudden change in Tuya's attitude, Gu Yu's hints, and now I finally know why.
Thinking of Gu Yu's hint, I subconsciously touched the pocket on my chest, but it was empty, this is not the first time I have touched the hole, when I was in the experimental center, I also touched the pocket before I was frozen, and the pocket was empty at that time.
The bones Gu Yu gave me had been in my jacket pocket, and I was pretty sure they were still there when I was covered in the trap net, but then I was put in a cage and pushed into the lab, and the bones disappeared inexplicably.
There was a zipper in the pocket, and it couldn't have fallen out during my struggle, but how could an ordinary bone disappear on its own?
In addition to this incident, what makes me even more puzzled is why the center knows the secret that I can survive without eating or drinking, and someone leaked it? Or did I inadvertently show my feet?
To be honest, I complained to Gu Yu and Hu Tao when I was alone in the laboratory, blaming them for not coming to save me, but thinking about it at the moment, although Gu Yu is the elite of the safe zone, he does not have the right to move freely, I know better than anyone how he returned to the safe zone, not to mention Hu Tao and them, I am afraid it is difficult to connect to the laboratory without permission.
Gu Yu, Long Tao, Hu Tao, Ah Ying, and Zhou Li, they are my sincere friends after the end of the world, so I shouldn't speculate on them maliciously before confirming them.
After another day of rest, I felt that my body was no longer in serious trouble, so I told Bai Junyang that I could leave, Bai Junyang was eager to save his wife, and besides, he had never been polite to me, he said that he would leave, and we were not moving, so there was no need to pack too much luggage, and the two of them only had two backpacks and went on the road.
In the past few days with Bai Junyang, he has told me a lot of things about himself, and he has a little bit of sincere cooperation and unreserved meaning.
Bai Junyang is a reborn, I have known this for a long time, in fact, I am still quite interested in the 'rebirth' that I have only seen in novels, but Bai Junyang's story is very similar to the plot of the novel, and the experience of betrayal, death, and rebirth in reality is not as cool as in the novel.
Bai Junyang is an out-and-out rich third generation, the fourth generation of officials, their family's background is not enough to describe in terms of tallness, the last days of the last life broke out, his parents were very unlucky, they were the first batch of mutants, he was studying abroad at the time, because of saving people, he was bitten by zombies.
But he didn't become an ordinary zombie, he woke up in the corridor of the school, surrounded by zombies, there were no living people in the school, and even in that city, there was no half of the survivors.
He returned to China alone, and the process was very thrilling, that is, at that time, he knew that he was different, he was a zombie, but not an ordinary zombie, he awakened a special ability, which was the reason why he was able to return to China safely.
And his fiancΓ©e Xiang Yiyi, who also survived, was taken in with her family by a shelter called 'Pure Land', Bai Junyang inquired in many ways and learned that Xiang Yiyi was in the Pure Land, but the nature of this place in the Pure Land is just the opposite of its name, it is full of darkness and dirt, Bai Junyang is worried about Xiang Yiyi, and insists on saving people.
At that time, he and his good brother had already entered the safe zone, and the detection equipment in the safe zone was not as advanced as it is now, and it was said that his zombie identity would not be revealed, but he never expected that his good brother was not only unwilling to accompany him on the adventure, but also betrayed him the night before he was ready to leave, and he was locked into the experimental center of the safe zone.
The arrest process is similar to mine, but he has experienced a hundred times more horror and pain than mine, LEN Lee has done all kinds of experiments on him, maybe it is his zombie identity, they don't treat him as a human at all, listening to him summarize the process in a few words, my palms are in a cold sweat.
Bai Junyang, who died tragically on the autopsy table in his previous life, failed to see his trapped fiancΓ©e until he died, and then God took pity on him and gave him a second chance.
However, before he died, he learned an amazing piece of information from LEN Lee's mouth, they determined that he had a high probability of becoming the Corpse Emperor, that is, the ruler of zombies, through the study of his cells, but unfortunately he had no chance to confirm it at that time, his body died, and LEN Lee extracted his genes and prepared to copy him.
"So, you chose the opposite route from your previous life, you didn't meet those good brothers, and you didn't go to the safe zone, but you met me."
"Yes, but when I came back, Yiyi, like in her previous life, went to the Pure Land with her parents, that place is very evil, invisible to me, I need someone I can trust to help me, I have tried to find other zombies or humans before, but I found that ordinary zombies will get lost as soon as they approach that area, and humans will enter...... No one came out again. β
"What do you mean to be lost?"
"Become an idiot among zombies."
"That's a weird place."
"I don't want to hide it from you, in fact, I also sent intelligent zombies in, and they didn't get lost, but they died very well when they came out."
"Oh, intelligent zombies, do you mean like me? Or smarter than me? β
"You're not as smart as you, and you've lost some of your humanity, so I think you're probably the best person to solve this problem."
"Let's try it, my parents are no longer here anyway, and you saved my life twice, I have to go this time."
"Sang Rou, I don't want to blackmail Entu, and I don't have the right to control your life and death, you can refuse." Bai Junyang said sincerely: "Actually, you have given me hope, maybe there are other high-intelligence zombies in this world, I will continue to look for the right person, and you don't necessarily have to take risks." β
Bai Junyang never was polite to me, this is his true words, whenever he mentioned Xiang Yiyi, his eyes always showed tenderness and sadness, I believe that he is a person who values love and righteousness, and he deceived me to die, and he couldn't save the person he loved, it was purely a loss-making deal, and it was meaningless.
"That's good, I'll save people for you, you teach me how to become stronger, use my own ability, and neither side suffers, win-win?"
"Deal."
Bai Junyang gave me a high-five with one hand, while his other hand was holding the steering wheel, the cruel lesson tells us that a rookie driver on the road, don't use two things, otherwise the car will be destroyed or killed.
Luckily we belonged to the former, but the front of the car hit a truck in the middle of the road, and the airbag deployed, causing no casualties.
"I said boss, haven't you ever touched a car after taking the driver's license test?" I rubbed my face as I hit the airbag, struggled to open the car door and get out.
"Driver's license? I took the test, but I didn't. Bai Junyang squeezed out of the cab, sorted out the messed up Liuhai'er, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't tell the difference between left and right, really, this is ...... Birth defects, congenital. β
"Boss, let me ask you a question, you must answer me seriously, I turned left and right at so many intersections before, is it right?"
"Yes, it should be right, right?"
"Haven't you been there N times?"
"But not from this direction, or do you look at the map?"
Bai Junyang unfolded the map and handed it to me, and I sighed: "No wonder, we should have gone to the place a day ago, and I obeyed you!" β
This man who is expected to become the Emperor of Zombies, with me, a highly intelligent zombie, is actually lost on the way to save mankind, this joke is enough for me to enjoy for half a year.
Bai Jun's tall image collapsed in my heart in an instant, at this moment I miss Gu Yu very much, that guy can decide the direction of travel at any time without a map or a compass, and most importantly, 100% correct!
If it weren't for Bai Junyang's confession that he didn't distinguish between left and right, I would be embarrassed to ask him if he was going the wrong way, because according to the distance he said, we should have arrived a day ago.
Now that he was being asked by me, he was not sure whether he was on the right route, so I took the map, carefully recalled the route from which I came, and found that we had turned in the wrong direction at the crossroads the day before.
"I'm sorry, every time I go the wrong way, I firmly believe that I am on the right path." Bai Junyang can say that he knows his mistakes and does not change them so calmly, which is also a kind of ability.
I looked at the white snowfield around me, looked at the scrapped car, and sighed, "Go back, we have to retreat to the intersection of yesterday, and then take the country road to find the mountain you marked." β
Walking in the snow and ice was very painful without the help of the teleportation egg, and we walked on the marks when the car drove by, so that we could save some effort.
Bai Junyang and I each walked a car print, now is the coldest stage of winter in the north, I looked at the zombies 'frozen' in the road and the car, and asked:
"They're freezing to death?"
Bai Junyang shook his head: "No, it's just that it's going into a dormant period, just like you were a few days ago." β
I still remember the zombie army I saw at the zoo, so I continued to ask, "Are there any ordinary zombies that are not affected by the temperature?" β
I deliberately emphasized that it was an 'ordinary zombie', Bai Junyang thought for a while and said: "I haven't seen it, the ordinary zombies I see will be affected by the temperature, and the ordinary zombies in the Siberian region will enter dormancy earlier than here." β
At the mention of Siberia, he seemed to remember something, and said: "By the way, the security zone has sent people to Siberia, probably to me, and the people of LEN Li may have mastered special technology." β
This life is different from the previous life, Bai Junyang has not been to the safety zone, nor has he revealed his identity as a zombie to others, it is said that the safety zone should not know his existence across thousands of rivers and mountains, and besides, that area is sparsely populated and inconvenient, and the radiation range of the search and rescue team has not yet reached there, so it will be discovered, which is really puzzling.
"Are you sure? What if it's just an ordinary search and rescue team? β
"No, I know the person in charge, surnamed Lee, his identity is very mysterious in the security zone, and LEN Lee's attitude towards him is respectful."
"The surname is Li...... Li Jixian? β
"You know him?"
"Yes, he's a commissioner, alas? He went to the north on a special mission, it turned out to be to arrest you! β
"That's right, he's seen you, didn't he find out you're a zombie?"
"No, if he found out, I would still be able to jump to this day, I would have been caught by him a long time ago, I think he is just an ordinary person, and he is not sharp-eyed, or maybe he didn't suspect me, so the special technology you hypothesized didn't work for me."
Bai Junyang thought about it, nodded and said: "You are very special, LEN Li doesn't seem to find out that you are a zombie, and only treats you as an ordinary person with awakened abilities, you, you are so lucky!" β
Since the end of the world, if you want to say how lucky I am, it really can't be counted, it can only be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
The most important thing is to know how to be grateful and satisfied, I will not forget what happened to me in the experimental center, but I will not let it become a nightmare for my life.
God always opens a window for me when he closes all the doors, and I should take every opportunity to start over and live well.
My parents have been optimistic all their lives, they definitely don't want to see me face the future with a depressed and gloomy attitude, I quietly wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of my eyes, and secretly vowed to avenge them before starting a new life.
