Chapter 153 Self-Awareness

Looking at the faces of the crowd, which were even more terrifying than the zombies, Lin Yi asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with them? Have they gone mad?”

Logically, they should have regained their clarity because Li Meng was dead and the energy controlling and tampering with their memories had dissipated. This gentle way of waking up shouldn’t have driven them to such madness.

Luo Wushang said with a hint of sarcasm, “The fig leaf of memory disorder, blindness, and foolishness has been torn off, and they can’t accept it for a while. It’s not that easy to go crazy. They’re just putting on a show to make themselves seem like humans with a little conscience.”

Who knows how many young people secretly resent the person who broke the illusion. Li Meng’s rule was to eat the old, weak, women, and children first, and leave some young and strong people to work. If no one had broken this false shell, those people could have lived freely and unrestrainedly for at least a few years, which would have been much better than the sober days of having nothing to eat or drink and being threatened by zombies.

Luo Wushang chuckled, “They’re still in the mood to put on a show now. Just watch, it won’t be long before they’re killing and eating meat as skillfully as zombies, even without Li Meng’s illusion obscuring their eyes.”

After making enough noise, those people dispersed. Having become accustomed to a stable life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, they hadn’t yet realized the degree of danger in this doomsday.

In the past, with Li Meng, this Level 6 zombie, stationed here, the surrounding zombies, awed by Li Meng’s power, dared not act rashly. Now that Li Meng was dead, the patrol and defense in this base were just for show. The popularity of tens of thousands of people in this city would attract countless bloodthirsty and flesh-eating creatures.

There will be a good show to watch.

……

The smoke dissipated, and Li Meng’s small body crashed to the ground. In the remaining vacant space, a glittering red crystal core floated. This strike that shot into her brain only destroyed one of her heads.

Xie YunChuan’s fingertips moved slightly, and a thin vine slowly extended towards the crystal core, encircling it and pulling it back into Xie YunChuan’s hand.

Looking at this small crystal block stained with blood, it seemed a little unusual. In addition to being redder than other low-level crystal cores, this crystal core also contained some scattered, colorful, and ever-changing light spots, he didn’t know what it was.

He thought, “I’ll go back and ask Luo Wushang about it.” Xie YunChuan simply put away the crystal core, and the two quickly walked back.

Back in the house, Xu Yuzhe and Gu Tangxi had already woken up. For them, these two days were like a normal sleep, and they occasionally dreamed of some beautiful things. Other than waking up in the evening instead of the morning and having a slight headache as if they had slept too much, there were no other abnormalities.

They asked and learned that Xie YunChuan and Shen Ye had jointly killed the high-level zombie in the base. Xie YunChuan and the others described it in a flat tone, but it was easy to imagine that for two Level 4 ability users to kill a Level 6 zombie, it was something that might not be possible even if they risked their lives. It was evident how dangerous it was.

“Are we leaving now or tomorrow?” Gu Tangxi asked.

Since the purpose of coming to the base had been achieved, it was better to leave as soon as possible. If it weren’t for the thought that Xie YunChuan and Shen Ye had just fought a great battle with Li Meng and might have exhausted their strength and needed to rest, she wouldn’t have asked this question at all and would have packed up and hit the road directly.

She didn’t want to stay in this base for a moment longer. After Li Meng died, the three of them, who were also controlled by Li Meng, naturally woke up after Li Meng’s energy dissipated. They had seen the madness of the crowd in this base. There was nothing good to say about the various aspects of humanity. It was just upsetting to watch and they just wanted to leave early and not see it.

When Gu Tangxi asked this question, Gu Tangyue also looked at them expectantly. She and Xu Yuzhe had the same mentality as Gu Tangxi. After the illusion was shattered, this human base was no better than a zombie nest, with corpses and remains all over the ground and a bloody stench permeating the air. It was really not a place for people to stay.

She couldn’t understand why the other people in the base could go back to their homes as if they had accepted it well after a period of madness and venting. How could this still be a place to stay?

What Gu Tangyue and the others couldn’t understand was that for people who had stayed in the Shuoyang Base for a long time, even if there was a huge gap between the illusion and reality, those happy and stable days were truly beautiful feelings, like a long and continuous immersive beautiful dream. Many people would rather continue to sink into happiness and die comfortably than wake up and face the reality of struggling to survive painfully.

Xie YunChuan looked at Luo Wushang, who was standing aside. Luo Wushang spread his hands and said indifferently, “Whatever you want, why are you looking at me? What does it have to do with me?”

Xie YunChuan lowered his head and said, “Then let’s rest and reorganize. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.” This sentence was an explanation to Gu Tangyue and the others about their next itinerary. After saying that, he turned to ask Shen Ye, “What about you? Do you want to come with us?”

Shen Ye scrutinized Luo Wushang, who was sitting by the window far away, with an inscrutable look. Luo Wushang had a respectful person standing beside him, obviously in a posture of respecting Luo Wushang.

Shen Ye secretly wondered: This Luo Shuyou is not right. He is not right, his way of getting along with Xie YunChuan is not right, and it is even more wrong to have a younger brother by his side. Strange!

Hearing Xie YunChuan’s question, he was stunned for a moment before quickly refusing, “No, I have my own things to do. I’m not on the same path as you. We’ll go our separate ways tomorrow morning.”

Shen Ye temporarily put aside the questions in his mind. Forget it, if there is a problem, it is a problem that Xie YunChuan should worry about. It is better for him, an outsider, not to interfere indiscriminately. If Xie YunChuan is really killed by his little lover, it is his own fault.

Xie YunChuan took out the crystal core he had just collected and said to Luo Wushang, “Come and take a look. I think there’s something strange about this thing.”

Looking at Luo Wushang’s hair being blown by the cold wind, Xie YunChuan slandered in his heart: This Luo Wushang always likes to blow the cold wind by the window, with an indifferent posture of being independent of the world. He is not afraid of the cold, but what if he freezes my Luo Shuyou’s body? When will this ghost thing change my Luo Shuyou out!

Luo Wushang got up and walked over casually, “If you want me to purify the crystal core for you, just say it. What’s with saying there’s something strange about it? Hypocrite!”

Seeing Luo Wushang coming over, Gu Tangxi, who was originally sitting on Xie YunChuan’s left, immediately consciously moved to the side, leaving a space wide enough for two people. Li Shi followed behind, busily moving Luo Wushang’s chair over and placing it down.

Luo Wushang sat down, and with a hook of his finger, a trace of energy rolled up the crystal core in Xie YunChuan’s hand and floated into Luo Wushang’s palm. The moment the crystal core entered his hand, Luo Wushang felt the different energy contained in this crystal core.

Li Meng actually wove her memories into dream orbs using her dream-making skills and stored them in this crystal core.

No wonder she could always adhere to her obsession and not have all her sanity devoured by the virus, and could choose to create beautiful dreams and illusions instead of terrifying purgatory as a zombie.

This is taking out these memories to refresh herself every time she is about to lose herself. How deep must her obsession be?
