Chapter 752: Well-Behaved
Rustle, rustle.
The pen scratched across the paper, making a rustle sound.
Zhang Yiming wrote characters swiftly in his notebook, disregarding the wound on his abdomen, allowing black blood to gush out.
As a Zombie Emperor, he possessed human-like tactile and pain sensations but had a zombie-like constitution.
The black blood in his body was not essential to him; as long as his brain remained intact, even if he got decapitated, with enough crystal cores and time, he could return to his original state.
Pain was irrelevant to him.
The psychological torment was unbearable, yet so real.
Outside, the sun gradually disappeared, and the room darkened.
In the dark, Zhang Yiming’s vision was unaffected.
Not until the moon hung on the tree did Zhang Yiming stop his pen.
Unknowingly, the floor was littered with piles of paper, all used for simulations.
A spark fell on the ground, quickly burning the papers silently.
Zhang Yiming stepped out with his notebook, leaving only the trace of flames in the room, nothing else remained.
"Boss, any orders?"
Xiao Li was waiting at the door for Zhang Yiming, evidently having received his brain waves to be there.
"Give this to Xiao Niu."
Zhang Yiming tore a sheet from his notebook, his expression calm and emotionless.
No joy, no sorrow.
Only Xiao Li could sense the extreme coldness from his boss, his brain waves particularly unsettled.
Incredibly agitated.
The experiment results were far from satisfactory.
"Understood!"
Xiao Li extended his hands, ready to receive the paper.
Zhang Yiming’s hand holding the paper slightly retracted.
Xiao Li noticed the gloves on Zhang Yiming’s hand and paused for a moment before realizing.
The boss was disdainful of his dirtiness!
He quickly pulled out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, thin and not suitable for labor protection, nor could they resist mutant animal bites.
Merely to isolate the skin.
When interacting with others, so as not to transmit any potential zombie virus on his hands.
Actually, Xiao Li knew that normal contact with humans wouldn’t transmit the zombie virus; after all, he had grabbed Fang Yuanyuan and a middle-aged man labeled number nine without turning them into zombies.
The boss was overly cautious.
Given the absolute suppression through brain waves and level, Xiao Li didn’t dare to criticize.
Wearing gloves, Xiao Li quickly took the paper; under Zhang Yiming’s indifferent gaze, he dared not pocket it, holding it like it was a delicate jewel.
...
Morning.
The sun soon rose in the east, scorching sunlight spread over every land.
The land that was snow-covered yesterday turned lush green overnight.
The plants began to grow wildly, thriving under the melted snow’s irrigation.
The base was lively today.
Yesterday, the Bai Family killed that monster named Gale and extracted its crystal core.
The remaining behemoth was later bought back at a high price by the returning Base Commander.
Just the crystal core, riches should not flow to outsiders, and the Base Commander was generous with it.
Such a huge hunk of meat, Gale, never tasted decayed meat and was the most exquisite ingredient.
To appease the survivors in the base who were frightened by Gale, today everyone could receive a large piece of cooked meat.
The giant monster was cut into countless pieces by the superpower-using cafeteria aunts, cooked overnight.
The high-rank mutant animals’ meat was firm, the aroma filled the safe base.
Before sunrise, the people of the safe base queued with their bowls to get meat.
The Bai Family was disinterested, not wanting to squeeze in line; they didn’t need that bite of meat. Only when some people in the base started eating did anyone get up rubbing their eyes.
Yesterday, when cutting out the crystal core, Uncle Wang saved a large piece in the bus’s freezer.
Waiting for Old Bai to showcase his cooking skills today!
Bai Zhengxuan was the first to get up; it was his turn to cook today.
Opening the car window, he saw Xiao Li outside.
Bai Zhengxuan didn’t harbor much goodwill towards Xiao Li and Fang Jin from the Human Survivor Alliance, merely gave Xiao Li a glance before continuing to cook.
Xiao Li politely smiled at Bai Zhengxuan without speaking, standing silently aside.
The paper was meant for Bai Xiqin; it had to be handed to her personally.
The Emperor’s orders must not err.
Also, he mustn’t disturb Bai Xiqin.
His thoughtful nature grasped the Emperor’s intentions, thus he refrained from disturbing Bai Xiqin’s sleep, even though he arrived by the bus last night, staying silent overnight.
The task given by the Emperor must be executed and executed perfectly.
Sizzle—
Bai Zhengxuan fried the red meat, glancing at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li’s throat moved involuntarily, he smelled the scent of fresh blood and flesh.
Besides the aroma from the Bai Family, it was the scent of fresh blood and flesh.
The red meat wasn’t thoroughly cooked, highly tempting to zombies.
Xiao Li’s brain waves were chaotic, reason almost shattered, yet he firmly controlled himself.
No, in front of the Bai Family, he must behave.
Mustn’t cause trouble, devouring flesh was out of question.
He could feel the superpower energy in the human superpower users, the energy fluctuations in each person were strong.
Let alone the presence of the boss.
He believed if he dared to open his mouth and charge forward, the boss would gracefully smash his head.
Bai Zhengxuan saw Xiao Li as a seemingly greedy yet quiet and obedient Xiao Li.
Bai Zhengxuan’s mouth twitched,
"They’re handing out free meat in the cafeteria, everyone gets a piece, no crystal core required. You can go collect it."
"Sure."
Xiao Li nodded suavely, flashing an appropriately measured smile revealing eight teeth.
Bai Zhengxuan: ...
Looks dumb the more you look.
Shaking his head, Bai Zhengxuan continued cooking.
Xiao Li continued waiting.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiqin finally came down, rubbing her eyes.
"Miss Xiao Niu, I have something for you."
Seeing Bai Xiqin, Xiao Li immediately became excited, hurriedly waving her over.
"What’s up?"
Bai Xiqin scratched her eyes, looking like she hadn’t fully awakened.
"It’s from the boss for you."
Xiao Li approached the car window with the paper in both hands, placing it in front of Bai Xiqin.
Bai Xiqin took the paper, and Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay."
Bai Xiqin opened it, seeing a bunch of chemical symbols, accompanied by text.
"Then I’ll leave."
Xiao Li nodded politely, then turned and ran off.
He heard there’s free blood and flesh distribution at the cafeteria!
For a zombie surviving in the human safe base, getting bloody flesh wasn’t easy!
Today, once again governed by blood and flesh!
"What’s this?"
Bai Zhengxuan poked his head out of the kitchen, glancing at the paper in Bai Xiqin’s hand.
"It’s from Xiao Ming, saying humans consuming Fusang Tree leaves can resist zombie virus infection, but it can’t turn zombies back to humans."
Bai Xiqin viewed the elegant text, sighing.
Fusang Tree leaves eradicate the zombie virus in a crude manner, simply destroying it completely.
While the entire zombie body is a virus, turning zombies back into humans is absolutely impossible, only the rotten flesh can be scorched completely.
"Why would Xiao Ming’s paper be delivered by Xiao Li from the Human Survivor Alliance?"
Bai Zhengxuan was taken aback.
