    Chapter 139 Good Base?

    Chapter 139 Good Base?

    Was Li Shi being a coward to Gu Tangxi and the others? He was being a coward to Luo Wushang, okay? Gu Tangxi’s sudden grab almost made him reflexively hit her.

    Fortunately, he held back in the end. Otherwise, Gu Tangxi’s fragile little body wouldn’t be able to withstand a small hit from Li Shi, a Tier 3 peak zombie. He might accidentally send her to the afterlife, and then he would be in trouble.

    Annoying, don’t want to bother.

    Smells good, want to eat meat.

    Cowardly, dare not eat…!

    Which dignified high-level zombie is as pathetic as him, with meat delivered to his mouth but he doesn’t dare to chew it!

    Gu Tangxi hadn’t realized that the gloomy “comrade” in front of her was pondering how fragrant her meat was, and continued to ask, oblivious to the danger: “Hurry up and tell me, what exactly is your ability? We’re all in the same team, don’t be so distant.”

    Li Shi just chuckled. Who’s on a team with you? At most, a corpse in a team… Okay, close enough, anyway, they are in the same team. Telling her is no big deal.

    “Bewitchment.”

    “What the heck?” Bewitchment? Gu Tangxi had never heard of such an ability. Could it be that she was ignorant because of her long hair? It sounded so weird, not like an ability from a good family!

    Of course, she hadn’t heard of it. It was a unique talent skill of zombies. Except for Li Shi, this cowardly thing, which good zombie would be so happy to tell others what talent skills he had while being so close to an ability user? He’d feel sorry for his zombie identity if he didn’t take a bite out of her.

    Well, Li Shi is that ungrateful corpse, he doesn’t dare to be ungrateful. The big boss zombie Luo Wushang allows Gu Tangxi and the others to hop around in front of him, what else can Li Shi, the little follower, do but endure it?

    He has already passed the time when he was a fearless newborn calf. Now, he understands the fear of being shattered into pieces! He can no longer bite anyone he sees.

    Alas! The life of this zombie is becoming more and more suffocating.

    The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he still had to suppress the restless desire to suck blood and eat meat. Li Shi impatiently explained: “Bewitchment, bewitches people’s hearts, controls people’s minds. Do you understand hypnosis? It’s similar to that.”

    Gu Tangxi covered her mouth and exclaimed softly: “Ah! Then can you read minds?” The more he explained, the more bizarre it sounded. Well, it still didn’t sound like an ability from a good family.

    “I can already manipulate people’s hearts, do you think I can’t read minds, huh?”

    Gu Tangxi complained angrily in a low voice: “What? Doesn’t that mean you can know what we’re thinking all the time?” This is too scary, can’t people have some privacy? She won’t dare to think wildly in front of him in the future.

    Li Shi retorted: “Is energy free? Doesn’t using skills cost energy? Are you always thinking about the detailed route of the treasure map? Am I sick, doing nothing all day but racking my brains to pry into your dirty thoughts, huh?”

    He spends all his time thinking about where to find some fresh human meat to eat, how could he have the mind to explore what these boring humans are thinking? It’s useless even if he explores it, anyway, he can’t touch them, isn’t it better to save energy?

    “Dirty, where are my thoughts dirty, don’t slander me, okay?”

    “If it’s not dirty, why are you so afraid of others prying into your thoughts?”

    “Can this be the same? No one wants their every thought to be eavesdropped on, right?”

    “I’m too lazy to eavesdrop on you, stay away from me.” Li Shi felt that this was simply challenging his zombie dignity. Not eating meat is simply not a zombie!

    “It’s not very close, is it?” Gu Tangxi looked at the distance between herself and Li Shi. Except for getting closer when she pulled him over at the beginning, it was now a normal social distance, okay!

    Why does he have such a resistant look as if she were some evil demon that couldn’t be approached? Could she really eat him?

    Li Shi: “…!”

    Heh, that’s a normal social distance between people, not between people and corpses. Please, someone, consciously stay away from him, a corpse.

    Gu Tangyue had been silently concentrating and listening to their conversation. At this moment, she suddenly blurted out a question: “Hey, your ability sounds very powerful. Why would they allow you to come in? Aren’t they afraid that you will bewitch and control the minds of their base leaders and cause trouble for them?” It wouldn’t be a piece of cake to casually bewitch a small leader to issue a small order or something.

    Li Shi was speechless. How could these two sisters be dumber than the other? “Ask your sister if those people are afraid of her burning the base leader to death with a fire.”

    Besides, what he showed those people was just mind reading. He wasn’t stupid enough to honestly reveal all his secrets to them.

    Also, as long as the level is high enough, the power of any skill is immeasurable. Can the people who can become leaders of such a large base be some small fries?

    His talent skill cannot bewitch just anyone, okay?

    He chose to attack Luo Shuyou because he thought Luo Shuyou was foolish and easy to fool. Who would have thought that the Luo Shuyou, whom he carefully selected as the most foolish, soft, and deceptive, would let him unlock a hidden boss—Luo Wushang!

    Sometimes being unlucky is an unstoppable fate!

    However, the people in this base do seem to be a bit self-righteous and arrogant, completely disregarding them. No wonder a high-level zombie can lurk inside without them noticing.

    Although he may not be able to control the highest leader in the base, he can still control a few key figures to stir up trouble. Hee hee, he’s a little looking forward to life at this base. He can eat meat, steal crystal cores, and play with monkeys!

    Gu Tangyue consciously asked a stupid question and went to the side, feeling a little embarrassed.

    They had been walking for more than ten minutes, but they still hadn’t seen the new resident area that the guard mentioned. However, the harmonious scenes they had seen along the way surprised everyone. In a daze, they thought that time had turned back and they had entered a happy little town before the end of the world.

    It was about eight or nine o’clock in the morning, and people were talking and laughing as they walked through the streets and alleys, holding labor tools as if they were going to the fields to plant crops as usual. On the open spaces between the houses, several children could be seen playing and laughing. Everyone exuded a strange sense of happiness.

    Unlike Half-Moon Base, here there is no distinction between high and low, all people live in the same residential area, only the distinction between new and old residents, and no differential treatment between ability users and ordinary people. As it stands, the treatment here is much better than in Half-Moon Base, and people live more affluent lives. No wonder it is well-known and is a top-ranked large base.
