Chapter 1155 - 645: Zombie: Oh No! I’ve Been Infected!
The night in the wilderness is very cold.
Especially the night in this world.
Even Shen Sui could feel a hint of chill.
However, he suspected this chill was born from within his heart after looking at the desolate, vast wilderness.
To save fuel, the group could only use the most primitive campfire for warmth.
Alice couldn’t bear to see these people so shabby and wanted to conjure a fireball for everyone.
Shen Sui and Xinyuan Yingxue reacted swiftly and stopped her directly.
Alice conjuring a fireball?
Anyone connected knows that’s a horror story, for goodness’ sake!
Alice sat to the side, pouting unhappily, looking very aggrieved as if her profession was not appreciated.
Lin Zhen began introducing his team.
Speaking of a team, they were actually just three people.
Lin Zhen, Ye Yiyi, and Xinyuan Yingxue.
Ye Yiyi was Xinyuan Yingxue’s Soul Card, who fell in love with Lin Zhen and went after her love impulsively.
Shen Sui had heard Xinyuan Tanchun mention his sister’s Soul Card experience.
For Ye Yiyi, or perhaps for revenge, Lin Zhen directly infiltrated the Ye Family, single-handedly storming in.
After a series of events, Ye Yiyi relied on Lin Zhen’s reputation to reclaim power in the Ye Family.
Thanks to the Ye Family’s backing, Lin Zhen gradually found his footing in the uncertainty.
However, due to past emotional wounds, he and Ye Yiyi were always in a state of separation and closeness.
While speaking, Ye Yiyi was with Xinyuan Yingxue repairing the mecha.
"You managed to come to this world?" Lin Zhen asked.
"You can come to my world, why can’t I come here?" Shen Sui replied with a smile.
"It’s not a good time to come now." Lin Zhen frowned, looking rather serious.
Shen Sui understood his concern: "I came to deal with this issue."
Haral’s power infected the zombies of this world, causing those that had been driven to the border to reappear like the wave when they first emerged.
In the human resistance army, apart from Lin Zhen and a few other elites, many warriors couldn’t survive the zombie waves.
It’s one thing to lose land, just destroyed cities after all, rebuilding takes a long time.
If all those warriors died, humanity would truly be finished.
So, under Lin Zhen’s insistence, the human resistance army’s frontline was constantly retreating.
"Why are you here, then?" Shen Sui questioned, "As far as I know, the frontline of the resistance army is quite some distance from here."
"Yingxue said the reason the zombies got stronger was due to a remnant called Haral." Lin Zhen’s brow furrowed tighter, "I’m planning to see if I can deal with it."
"Haral... He’s not someone you can handle," Shen Sui shook his head, "But I’m here precisely for this."
Lin Zhen gave Shen Sui a deep look.
Previously in the real world, he only felt a powerful force within Shen Sui.
But now, he was more certain of it.
"I believe you." Lin Zhen quickly withdrew his gaze and threw the dry twigs in his hand into the campfire.
With that, the scene fell into silence again.
That’s how Lin Zhen is, always quiet and reserved, only saying what’s essential.
If it were someone else here, they’d probably start chatting with Shen Sui.
But if no one speaks, isn’t it a bit too awkward?
Shen Sui thought about this, pondering in his mind how to initiate a new topic.
Feelings? Affection?
Better forget it, discussing Lin Zhen’s emotional experiences would just be rubbing salt in his wounds?
"Um..." Alice, who had been feeling down for a while, raised her head again, asking, "Do you really not need me to conjure a fireball? I think it would warm things up faster."
Shen Sui’s mouth twitched.
If you conjured a nuclear explosion fireball, it would indeed warm up fast, but we’d cool down even faster!
"No need!" Shen Sui emphasized.
However, Alice’s comment reminded Lin Zhen of something: "May I ask, miss, what power did you use earlier to make the zombies obey you?"
Lin Zhen’s question instantly lit up Alice’s eyes. She quickly moved over and sat next to Shen Sui, beginning to explain her puppet virus to Lin Zhen.
Transmission editing, curing guidance, and all that sort.
Alice spoke excitedly, nothing like her earlier despondency.
No idea if Lin Zhen understood, Shen Sui was certainly muddled listening to it.
"I see," Lin Zhen said with some understanding.
"Right, right!" Alice nodded matter-of-factly.
"..."
Shen Sui was speechless.
"Can it really be modified as you said?" Lin Zhen asked, "To make zombies infected by the puppet virus obey human commands."
"Yes, it can be done, but if everyone can command, it’d be too chaotic," Alice considered, "I can add a guide to this virus, allowing humans to capture and contract these infected zombies."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up.
Alice grew more enthusiastic, explaining the detailed execution principles to Lin Zhen.
"To prevent everyone from contracting the same zombie and causing waste, contracted zombies should have a mark."
With that, Alice gestured on her belly.
"I plan to set it here, a red or pink symmetrical demon pattern."
Watching Alice’s gestures, Shen Sui’s mind began constructing the scene she described.
