TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Is it better to be human or zombie?

Xie YunChuan’s heart sank. He knew that this guy’s inherent brutality wouldn’t diminish at all. Now, this chaotic and unrestrained end of the world was exactly what this guy wanted.

“What about Luo Shuyou? Have you considered whether he’d be willing?”

Luo WuShang sized up Xie YunChuan, and said unpleasantly, “Wouldn’t he be unwilling because of you?”

“Regardless of the reason, Shuyou doesn’t want to become a zombie, does he?”

Luo WuShang turned his head away, unwilling to see Xie YunChuan’s serious face, or perhaps unwilling to let Xie YunChuan see the loneliness in his eyes. A low voice sounded, the tone losing its previous lightness and unrestraint:

“But, there’s no way around it, Xie YunChuan… the virus in this body can no longer be eliminated. All I can do is stand up and bear all the things that frighten him when Luo Luo has an evasive mentality and is unwilling to face them. But I can’t change anything.

Do you know why I can be so strong as soon as I come out, even though you’ve barely let Luo Luo absorb any Jīngpò to improve his abilities?

It’s not that I’m strong, it’s that the energy contained within this body itself is beyond your imagination, it’s just that Luo Luo doesn’t know how to use that energy yet. When he regains his intelligence, in fact, the only difference between his strength and mine is in the application of techniques, there’s no essential distance.

I can feel the opposing forces within my body, they’re fighting each other, yet nourishing each other, forming a delicate balance, both sides are getting a good boost.

But what can’t be changed is the half-human, half-zombie nature of this body. Unless a way can be found to completely eliminate the virus that has penetrated deep inside the body like a bone-attached gangrene, otherwise, you know, I can easily remove zombie Jīngpò, including the virus from people who are infected but haven’t completely mutated.

But I can’t eliminate it from my own body.

Do you know why?

Because the biggest difference between the two is that those infected are still—humans! The virus has only just begun to invade their bodies, and hasn’t completed the final rooting and penetration. Many times, those viruses only superficially control their limbs and nerves, simply manipulating their body movements, but they are essentially still people, they haven’t completed the final zombification transformation, so I can save them.

It’s like they have the urge to bite people, not like real zombies with the original feeding impulse from the body, but the virus in their body is manipulating their actions to replenish nutrients that are beneficial to the virus.

I can’t explain it very well, and I don’t know how to explain it to you clearly. I don’t know if you can understand what I’m saying, you just need to know that the situation with my body is very complicated. There’s basically no possibility of completely recovering into a human.”

Luo WuShang already had a zombie Jīngpò in his body, how could he eliminate the virus as easily as those simple infected people?

The more Xie YunChuan listened, the darker his expression became. When he heard “basically can’t recover,” his tightly clenched fist suddenly deflated, not knowing if it was a desperate abandonment, or a relieved insistence, but in the end, he stubbornly replied, “Basically no, means there’s still a possibility.”

It was insistence, right? Even if the hope was slim, wasn’t this strange and changing world still full of miracles and myths? Maybe one day even the dead could be resurrected, what reason was there to give up?

Luo WuShang’s tone returned to lightness, indifferently saying, “I don’t know, maybe! Maybe there won’t be a need to develop any virus vaccine, maybe one day, the power of purification in the body will completely overwhelm the virus and eliminate it! Who knows!”

Luo WuShang didn’t care whether he was human or zombie, anyway, he could walk, jump, eat, and sleep, it’s just that everyone’s food was different.

In other words, what’s the difference between zombies eating human flesh and humans eating chicken, duck, and fish? You can’t just not accept it because you’ve become an ingredient on someone else’s menu, that’s too hypocritical.

Isn’t it also a kind of consumption when ability users absorb zombie Jīngpò to improve their abilities? The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, has been the principle since ancient times.

This world has never really changed, it’s just that humans have occupied the top of the food chain for too long, so long that they’ve forgotten that if it weren’t for the conditions, even if it wasn’t the end of the world, humans would still be food in the mouths of tigers, leopards, and other animals.

Alas! But, his Luo Luo is a kind little angel, ah! He certainly wouldn’t be willing to accept a version of himself that eats human blood and flesh, would he?

Annoying, still try to find a way to recover!

……

Both sides were silent. After a long time, Luo WuShang suddenly blinked and looked at Xie YunChuan flirtatiously, “Oh, right, your companions are about to die, aren’t you going to save them?”

Oh my, if it weren’t for the fact that those people really couldn’t beat them, and if he didn’t go to save them, his Luo Luo’s mobile snack storage would be gone, otherwise, Luo WuShang would have loved to see a scene of blood covering the ground, that would be very interesting, it’s so delightful.

Xie YunChuan was startled, and when he came back to his senses and sensed it a little, he could clearly feel the aura of a dozen or twenty level-two zombies in the direction of the House where Gu Tangxi and the others were.

Xie YunChuan glanced at Luo WuShang, and didn’t bother to say anything more, leaving behind a sentence, “Keep up!” and then ran towards Gu Tangxi and the others.

If Xie YunChuan hadn’t been so preoccupied by Luo WuShang’s words, he, who had already been promoted to a level-three ability user, would have easily sensed the movements of those level-two zombies.

Luo WuShang spat at Xie YunChuan’s running back with a gloomy face, “Heartless!” and then a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, fleeting and imperceptible.

If the person in this body right now was Luo Shuyou, he would have gently hugged him and left, right?

Putting away unnecessary emotions, Luo WuShang’s face was once again that gloomy and terrifying face. Li Shi, who was squatting in the corner and unable to move, tensed up as soon as Luo WuShang’s dangerous gaze fell on him.

He cautiously looked at Luo WuShang. If his zombie face didn’t really allow him to make any fawning or flattering expressions, his face would definitely be piled high with flattering smiles right now.

As the saying goes, no one hits a smiling face, the same should be true for a smiling zombie.

Although Li Shi couldn’t make any obvious expressions, Luo WuShang easily saw through his thoughts, “Put away that disgusting flattering face of yours. Since I didn’t kill you in the first place, I naturally won’t move you now. Moreover, I can also fulfill your wish.”

Wasn’t it just wanting a body? This was just a matter of raising his hand for Luo WuShang.

Li Shi repeatedly nodded obsequiously, cautiously transmitting a message to Luo WuShang’s ears through the telepathic skill, asking, “I don’t know, what do you need me to do for you, Boss? I’m happy to do it.”

He didn’t dare to project his voice directly into Luo WuShang’s mind like he did with Xie YunChuan, that would give people an uncomfortable feeling of being Peek at the heart.

The reason why Li Shi was able to survive under Wei Donglin for so long was not only because he was useful, but also because he was always reliable in his work. He still knew the most basic rule of not making the leader feel any discomfort.
