TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Wanting to Leave but Unable To

Xu Yuze saw Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue standing there with furrowed brows, quietly talking about something for a long time. Thinking they were troubled by a missing item, he got up, walked over to them, and asked, “Are you missing something important? Maybe we can find it in this city.”

Although this place was relatively quiet, it was truly located in the city center. They had driven in all the way, clearing snow, and hadn’t seen a single living zombie, nor sensed any aura. However, clearing the snow had uncovered many zombie corpses with severed limbs. Xu Yuze estimated that the zombies in this city had been completely wiped out by Luo Wu Sorrow. With Luo Wu Sorrow’s abnormal strength, Xu Yuze didn’t doubt for a moment that he could do it.

It had to be said, smart people always grasped the truth first.

The two stopped talking the moment Xu Yuze approached. Hearing Xu Yuze’s question, Gu Tangyue replied with slight hesitation, “Oh, it’s… it’s just that we’re a little short on fresh ingredients, but it’s impossible to find them. Let’s not risk going out.” Especially in the middle of winter, where could they find fresh ingredients?

Her conversation with Xu Yuze wasn’t deliberately quiet, so Luo Shuyou heard it and said, “Sister Xiaoyue, go find whatever you want. This city is safe now; there won’t be any zombies.”

Luo Shuyou didn’t sense any zombie aura. If there were zombies that could hide from Luo Shuyou’s detection, then there was no need to defend against them; they couldn’t be defended against anyway. He might as well wait for death in peace.

Gu Tangyue was puzzled, “Ah? How is it possible for such a big city to have no zombies?” Nor were there any living people. Could everyone have escaped?

“There were, they were killed.”

Xie YunChuan answered. He had the same guess as Xu Yuze, but he was more certain. With Luo Wu Sorrow’s temperament, he wouldn’t let Luo Shuyou stay in an unsafe environment, especially one he himself had just been in.

Gu Tangyue reflexively asked, “Who killed them?” As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized. Besides Luo Wu Sorrow, who else could it be? Looking at everyone’s expressions, it was undoubtedly him.

Gu Tangxi said with a giggle, “I didn’t expect him to be so considerate, clearing away all the dangers for us so we can easily have a good New Year.”

Xu Yuze also chuckled lightly, “That is indeed something to be grateful for.”

Luo Shuyou also had a smile on his face. He didn’t dislike that everyone liked Luo Wu Sorrow at all, because he himself liked him very much.

But he was wrong about this. These were just a few jokes that everyone made behind Luo Wu Sorrow’s back. In reality, no one liked Luo Wu Sorrow, who was so dark and cold. It was better to keep him at a respectful distance.

Li Shi, witnessing these narcissistic fellows, thought, “…”

Heh, that Luo Wu Sorrow wasn’t just considerate, he was considerate to the underworld. Wherever he went, he didn’t leave a single moving thing behind. It wasn’t just taking care of you few.

After confirming that there was no danger, they split into two groups and wandered around the city while it was still light, to see if they could find anything useful.

Everyone left, leaving only Li Shi, the corpse cat, upstairs. After they had all gone far away, he staggered downstairs.

He was considering whether to take the opportunity to slip away. Judging from Luo Shuyou’s appearance, he shouldn’t make a big fuss about him. As long as he ran far enough, running away was running away.

But… Li Shi poked out a sharp nail and lightly scratched his arm. The same skin broke open, the same blood flowed, but it didn’t hurt or itch. It was like a piece of fake skin pasted on his hand, and the blood that flowed out didn’t arouse his corpse’s appetite at all.

Logically speaking, Li Shi’s level should be able to feel pain. The virus didn’t really clear away the pain; it was just that in the beginning, it needed to control the infected’s body to tear and eat flesh. It eroded the infected’s brain, controlled their nerves, and masked the pain, so that they would only be drawn forward by flesh and blood.

As the level increased, and more crystal core energy was absorbed, the original low-level walking corpses would gradually regain their five senses. Even if they couldn’t completely regain their intelligence, they would understand pain, fear, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages like animals…. This was what crystal core energy brought; it was helping the virus, but also strengthening the host.

Li Shi snorted and laughed. It wasn’t his anyway, just a gorgeous ornament. He curiously licked the bright red blood, a burst of healing power. He sneered, “Fake is fake, it can imitate the form, but not the substance.”

After the blood flowed out, the wound didn’t clot. After it stopped bleeding, a pool of moisture gathered there, slowly turning purple, darkening, and blackening. Li Shi boredly pinched the wound together, squeezing out the pooled blood. He let go; without clotting function, the wound couldn’t close.

Li Shi cursed, throwing his hand and smashing a chair to pieces. After calming down for a moment, he casually threw the chair fragments into the fire, sitting by the fire and calmly roasting himself, a serene smile on his face. At this moment, anyone who came in and saw him would subconsciously think he was a kind human.

Run? Run my ass! Damn it, a small cut needed Luo Shuyou’s healing ability to heal. Li Shi didn’t want to become a pile of rotten, smelly meat, so he should honestly be a lackey.

It’s just that he had to secretly eat people from now on, away from Luo Shuyou. Luo Shuyou had such clear, innocent eyes; at a glance, he wasn’t like Luo Wu Sorrow, a murderous, cold-hearted person. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was an inexperienced child. Naturally, he couldn’t accept things like killing for crystals, drinking human blood, and eating human flesh.

Luo Wu Sorrow had foresight, early on, he personally acquired a batch of healing crystal cores and wood-type crystal cores to absorb, increasing the level of the healing ability in that body, and strengthening the energy of that special ability within him.

Li Shi didn’t know about the Wood Spirit Crystal Core, but he had seen many scenes of Luo Wu Sorrow in action, knowing that he wasn’t just a healing ability user and a high-level zombie. That special power was no weaker than his zombie power.

Li Shi was considered a zombie with a lot of recovered intelligence. Not because his level was high, but because of his talent skill – Bewitching Hearts. Bewitching hearts, bewitching people’s hearts. If one couldn’t understand people’s hearts, how could one incite and bewitch? Having read and eroded hearts so much, one would naturally be gradually influenced by people’s hearts. What’s more, he used to be a narrow-minded person.
