Chapter 118
Pei Qingmu looked at his brother staring at his wrist with some curiosity.
Because there was nothing on it.
Ever since four years ago when his brother's health suddenly improved significantly, he has become somewhat eccentric.
Sometimes he would say things no one else could understand.
He also liked to gaze at the sky or stare at his own wrist.
And he even told their father to have Gu Wanqing come protect him.
Clearly, just staying at the base would keep him safe.
But he would rather run around with Gu Wanqing.
A few days ago, he suddenly wanted Pei Qingmu to take him out, which was also puzzling.
But Pei Qingmu still took him out.
Little did he know that he was actually coming to find a dog.
With the severe situation in various places recently, he still had the mind to wander around.
"But, we have to agree to Gu Wanqing's proposal," Pei Yu'an said something quite serious for a change.
This startled Pei Qingmu, as his brother had just agreed with him earlier, saying there were no zombies that don't eat humans in this world.
How could he now agree to Gu Wanqing's proposal?
But their father would probably agree with his brother's opinion too.
After all, although his brother seemed eccentric, all of his decisions over the past four years had been correct.
Yu Qingxian looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex coming back and glared at it angrily.
She had raised it for nearly a year, yet it abandoned her and ran off with someone else.
But seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex's cautious demeanor, she felt like this scene seemed familiar before.
Only it was the other way around.
With this thought, the Tyrannosaurus Rex must have had some reason.
Could it be that because she was in low spirits before, so the Tyrannosaurus Rex went to find a human for help?
But thinking about this breed of dog that would just grin stupidly at people when seeing them, it didn't seem too likely.
Still, she forgave the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
She had abandoned it before, now it ditched her to find someone else, so they were even.
However, when her gaze swept over the Tyrannosaurus Rex's saddlebag, she noticed there seemed to be something extra inside.
There was a letter inside.
She picked it up and looked at it, only to find her own name written on it.
This startled Yu Qingxian.
Besides Shi Xingyu, no human knew her name.
So the fact that it was addressed for her to open personally meant that little sesame cookie must have known she was raising the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
And the other party even knew her name, not just the pronunciation, but the specific characters of her name.
It seemed this little sesame cookie must have known her for a long time.
Yu Qingxian opened the envelope and looked at the words.
It started with a self-introduction.
Quite frank.
The little sesame cookie was called Pei Yu'an.
Hmm...
Never heard of him, don't know him.
After the self-introduction, Pei Yu'an got straight to the point.
'I know you want to die, but don't die yet.'
Yu Qingxian: ....
This little cookie really wasn't simple if he even knew she wanted to die.
And what came after was even more shocking to Yu Qingxian.
This little cookie actually told her all of Gu Wanqing's thoughts.
That is, what Gu Wanqing wanted was to help zombies regain their senses and suppress their desires, although this might indeed be a far-fetched idea, Gu Wanqing could actually do it.
It's just that Gu Wanqing still needed some help, because the previous Gu Wanqing had failed.
The main reason was that she hadn't found zombies who could suppress their own desire to eat humans.
And now, Yu Qingxian was that variable.
Most importantly, a few countries were conducting secret experiments, choosing a Zombie King, and trying to take over the world amidst the apocalypse.
It seemed like something from nearly a century ago that wasn't finished was trying to resurface.
The zombie virus spread so quickly in no small part due to these countries fanning the flames from behind the scenes.
Yu Qingxian read through the first half, which revealed some confidential news.
She felt like she didn't have much to do with it.
But then it started to become relevant.
'I know you know Shi Xingyu, and he has agreed to cooperate with Gu Wanqing and accept her modifications. Gu Wanqing also wants to create Our own King, and Shi Xingyu is indeed the most suitable choice.'
Yu Qingxian was originally going to ask Shi Xingyu what kind of cooperation he had reached with Gu Wanqing.
But before she even got to see Shi Xingyu, Pei Yu'an had already revealed all of Shi Xingyu's thoughts.
Yu Qingxian felt it was understandable for Shi Xingyu to become this king, but what was his reason for agreeing to this condition?
To become a king?
But after cooperating with humans, he couldn't freely prey on humans anymore. Could he really let go of the temptation humans posed to him?
Or did he choose to accept the experiment and become a king, only to then turn around and kill humans?
The young man had a good idea, but she didn't think it was very achievable.
Gu Wanqing couldn't possibly be completely unprepared.
No matter how formidable zombies were, no matter how intelligent they became, they still couldn't overcome humans.
The rules were often in the hands of those in power.
At the moment Shi Xingyu agreed to accept Gu Wanqing's experiment, he was already at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, no matter how much the young man evolved towards becoming an Intelligent zombie, he still didn't understand just how complex humans could be.
Hmph, on this point, she had performed quite outstandingly.
Yu Qingxian indulged in self-satisfaction for a bit, feeling that if Shi Xingyu cooperated with Gu Wanqing, he wouldn't actually lose too much.
Because what she needed was to win over Shi Xingyu's heart, so she wouldn't watch him too closely.
Perhaps that was why Gu Wanqing argued with the higher-ups.
Indeed, if a Zombie King wasn't muzzled, he could bite someone at any time.
But Yu Qingxian didn't actually care how Gu Wanqing and Shi Xingyu reached their cooperation.
What was important was how Gu Wanqing would conduct experiments to suppress zombies' desire for humans.
Actually, high-level zombies like Shi Xingyu could still suppress themselves to some extent.
So did that mean amplifying their intelligence?
But only Intelligent zombies could suppress their desires, ordinary zombies couldn't care less.
Like the one Shi Xingyu killed, for example. That one probably wasn't an Intelligent zombie, which was why it went on a killing spree, without considering that if it kept killing, humans would naturally find a way to deal with it.
But any with even a bit of intelligence wouldn't provoke humans so much.
Not to mention provoking humans.
Even high-level zombies would be anxious.
Everyone wanted to stand out, no one was willing to let others stand out.
And so, the death of the Zombie King was inevitable.
Even if Shi Xingyu did not take care of it, Gu Wanqing or someone else would have dealt with it.
However, its actions allowed Shi Xingyu to use it as a stepping stone to rise further.
Thinking about it this way, Ye became the Zombie King even earlier than Shi Xingyu, but Ye did not cooperate with Gu Wanqing.
Nevertheless, Yu Qingxian felt that Shi Xingyu was more suited to cooperating with humans.
After all, Yu Qingxian had taught Shi Xingyu many human terms and ways of thinking.
Ye was too naive, and no matter how strong, could still easily be deceived.
With this in mind, Yu Qingxian wondered if he should go and check on Ye.
To ensure that Ye would avoid Gu Wanqing in the future.
He must not learn from Shi Xingyu, who approached Gu Wanqing despite being advised to avoid her.
