Chapter 161: He’s Back

Chapter 161: He’s Back

“What time is it?” A gentle and peaceful voice sounded, with a somewhat lost and detached feeling, not quite clear.

“Ah… oh! It’s five o’clock.” Having never heard such a gentle and soft tone from Luo WuShang, Li Shi was momentarily stunned.

Speaking of which, although sleeping isn’t a necessity for zombies, he and Luo WuShang would close their eyes and lie down to rest when they had nothing to do on weekdays. Whether they could actually sleep was another matter. The long nights, without constant fighting and killing, what else could they do but sleep?

The end of the world disrupted the normal order of life, and zombies roamed the world like demons and monsters. Those zombies who had escaped the ignorant, unfeeling, bloodthirsty, and flesh-eating low-level stage and regained some consciousness seemed to find themselves with nothing to do once they stopped, except to continue doing evil, eating people, killing people, and seizing crystal cores to improve themselves.

The world of zombies had no family, no friends, and certainly no lovers. The few who regained some consciousness had not lost their memories from when they were alive, nor had they lost the memory of their initial zombification, like a beast lunging and biting. They didn’t have a clear understanding of the cause, process, and result of events, but they had clear, bloody images. However, kinship, love, friendship… the seven emotions and six desires of being human, what remained was mostly infinitely amplified evil.

Just like Li Meng, even though her obsession drove her to become a zombie, she still pursued the warmth of family, but ultimately couldn’t change her evil and murderous behavior. Just like Luo WuShang, even though he spent his days with people, he didn’t hesitate to kill ability users.

So they couldn’t stop. Li Meng couldn’t stop, Luo WuShang couldn’t stop, and Li Shi… couldn’t stop either. As long as the virus was still buried in the zombie’s body, the violent and bloodthirsty aura couldn’t be calmed.

Originally, out of consideration for Luo WuShang, Li Shi would kill and eat meat behind his back, not to deliberately hide it, as hiding was impossible, but just to avoid doing it in front of him. Afterwards, he would bring back some good pieces of meat, like arms and thighs, to show his respect to Luo WuShang. Although it all ended up in his own mouth, his intentions were there, and Luo Boss would definitely remember his kindness.

Li Shi was thinking about avoiding killing in front of Luo WuShang, but then Luo WuShang showed him what real carnage was. Compared to Luo WuShang, he, a pure zombie, could be described as having good intentions.

Li Shi killed people and ate meat, while Luo WuShang slaughtered cities and seized crystal cores, regardless of whether the city was full of corpses… or people!

“Afternoon?”

Luo Shuyou’s gentle voice sounded again, pulling Li Shi’s wandering thoughts back. Right, what was he originally thinking about? It was that strange and solemn instruction from Luo WuShang last night when he lay down, telling him to keep watch, and thoughtfully covering him with a blanket, something he had never done before. Now Li Shi finally understood the reason for Luo WuShang’s strange behavior.

Because… the person who woke up now wasn’t Luo WuShang at all. Not only had the actions, mannerisms, and temperament changed, but even the aura was different. Luo WuShang, with his fierce and murderous nature, wouldn’t have the clean and non-aggressive aura that this person had.

Speaking of which, Li Shi had seen Luo Shuyou before. When he first saw this skin, it was wrapped around the real Luo Shuyou himself. But at that time, the contact time was too short, and Li Shi always thought that the early differences were Luo WuShang’s pretense of being a pig to eat the tiger.

Seeing Luo Shuyou again, Li Shi, who had been following Luo WuShang for a long time, could be sure that this was definitely not the pretense of the same person. In that case, many of Luo WuShang’s previous instructions became clear: what he wanted him to protect was not Luo WuShang himself, but the current… Luo Shuyou!

Overnight, the accumulated snow had covered the earth, and the silvery-white reflection illuminated the ground under the dark night sky, making it hazy and bright. No wonder Luo Shuyou asked that question. Li Shi replied, “No, it’s morning.”

“Is that so?” Luo Shuyou finally slowly turned his gaze away from the window and looked at Li Shi, after a moment of staring, he softly asked: “Are you a zombie?” The tone was calm and without waves, not even a bit afraid of Li Shi’s zombie identity.

Li Shi didn’t hide anything, and frankly answered, “Yes.” Asking this question meant that it was unnecessary, Luo Shuyou already had the answer in his heart.

Luo Shuyou didn’t speak anymore. He lifted the blanket covering his legs and slowly got out of bed, his movements stiff and deliberate. At this time, he was like a vegetative person waking up after many years of sleep and walking on the ground for the first time, every step was very unreal, as if he was very unfamiliar with the movement of his limbs.

The snow-covered earth came into view, Luo Shuyou was startled, realizing that this sleep had been a bit long, the longest since he appeared. The snow had stopped, leaving only a silver-white ground. Luo Shuyou, with a dizzy head, looked into the distance, and muttered to himself: “Are you back?”

Past memories flashed through his mind like slides. He remembered the loving moments with Xie YunChuan before the end of the world, the scenes of pouncing on people when he was zombified, and the big face of Wei Donglin he saw last… However, there seemed to be a large blank space in the middle that he couldn’t figure out.

Luo Shuyou wasn’t sure if it was because he completely lost his self-awareness after he was completely zombified, or… he appeared?

Where was Xie YunChuan? What about Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue? Where were the people? Why was there only a zombie guarding him?

“Who are you?”

Luo Shuyou didn’t turn his head, his thin and lonely back stood against the wind, standing in the same position where Luo WuShang stood last night, perfectly overlapping. In a trance, Li Shi almost couldn’t tell who was who.

“Li Shi.”

Li Shi simply replied with his name, without saying more. Luo Shuyou didn’t continue to ask either. He seemed to be rewinding and rereading, his whole person looked a bit foolish and silly, occasionally asking some nonsensical questions.

Li Shi couldn’t see through Luo Shuyou’s strength. He was considering the feasibility of killing and seizing the crystal core. After being a lackey for so long, he couldn’t help but have some rebellious thoughts. Luo WuShang had been slaughtering cities these past few days, and he didn’t like many of the crystal cores, but they filled Li Shi’s stomach, allowing him to cross level four directly to level five in a short period of time.

Then he thought about how his flesh and blood body needed Luo Shuyou’s maintenance, Li Shi struggled for a moment, hesitating, and leaked a trace of weak murderous intent.

A minimal aura of danger, but Luo Shuyou seemed to sense something, and turned to walk towards the house, step by step, surrounded by a powerful aura that was not much different from Luo WuShang’s, but this aura was the opposite of it, a fresh and pure vitality.
