Chapter 330 Living Zombies 7
Chapter 330 Living Zombies 7
Although she had spent most of the day washing bottles, Yan Leran felt very comfortable being able to chat with Professor Xi's assistant on her way home from get off work and even take the opportunity to ask a few questions that had puzzled her for a long time. She walked out of the research institute with light steps.
When she saw the man waiting for her outside the research institute, her smile became even brighter.
"Xuebo, you're back!" She instinctively reached out to touch Tan Xuebo's hand, but he abruptly shook her off.
The smile on her lips froze, and Yan Leran asked, hurt, "Xuebo, what are you doing?"
Tan Xuebo looked around nervously, but all he saw were empty streets and a gray sky.
He pursed his lips and took Yan Leran's hand: "I'll explain to you later, let's talk when we get home."
"Look, they really are a despicable couple."
As the two hurried past the camera, Xi Cheng flashed his pearly white teeth, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"They're the ones who ruined you. How about I kill them for you?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! If you're going to kill yourself, then kill yourself! Why are you being so violent?"
With two punches, Bang Bang finished off the thick-skinned Xi Cheng. Ling Yi watched with a cold gaze as they got into the same car and left the surveillance range.
Her not-so-nimble hands clenched slightly. This car was something the original owner and Tan Xuebo had earned together, but now all the people sitting in it were her enemies.
"Don't be angry, Yi Yi. I'll give you something delicious to eat."
When Lingyi's teeth started itching uncontrollably, something cold and hard was stuffed into her mouth.
Rhomboid crystals are difficult for humans to swallow, but zombies can easily crush and absorb them.
She still couldn't swallow, but Lingyi noticed that the thing was spreading from her mouth to every part of her body.
Ling Yi's stiff body seemed to be relieved a little at this moment, and she even moved her throat.
Beside him, Xi Cheng held a notebook and took notes on Ling Yi's appearance at that moment.
He pushed up his glasses, which were not actually his: "It can be absorbed directly through the mucous membrane without any residue, and the absorption rate is 60 percentage points higher than that of humans."
The sound of pen nib scratching paper rang in Ling Yi's ears. Her gray eyes coldly looked at the man who was using her as an experiment.
At that moment, another crystal core was shoved into her mouth with lightning speed.
Ling Yi's anger momentarily subsided, and she continued chewing expressionlessly.
Although I couldn't taste anything, the feeling of gradually liberating my stiff body was damn wonderful.
One crystal after another, as Ling Yi consumed the thirty-sixth crystal core, she felt a certain restraint completely disappear.
When the thirty-second crystal core was put into her mouth, she swallowed it subconsciously. Only when warmth came from her stomach did she realize what had happened.
Has her swallowing ability been restored?
Ling Yi raised her hand and touched her shoulder, then tentatively said, "Hey, come and eat."
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, causing Xi Cheng to abruptly stop feeding the child.
"Yi Yi, you can talk now?" Xi Cheng threw the crystal core into the box, jumped in front of Ling Yi, and brought his face close to Ling Yi's face, as if he wanted to see through her.
Ling Yi pushed him away with her fingertips: "Go away, you stink."
Xi Cheng was taken aback, sniffing his own body like a puppy, sniffing left and right: "Where does it smell bad? I can't smell anything. Yi Yi, don't lie to me, I shower every day!"
Ling Yi took two steps back in disgust, afraid that Xi Cheng's low IQ would infect her.
The "stink" refers to the human smell, which she can control, but it's still unpleasant!
To put it another way, it's like putting a hot pot of butter in front of someone who's on a diet—how cruel would that be?
She couldn't get rid of this clingy person before because she didn't speak up, but now that she can, of course she wants to express her demands.
After a long pause, Xi Cheng said angrily, "I don't blame you for saying such things out of anger."
He doesn't stink.
But what was the first thing Yi Yi said?
His face fell: "How could you say that?"
Even if it's just an unromantic way of calling his name, you still have to solemnly say "hello."
What she said turned out to be true.
Hey, come and eat?
Xi Cheng took a crystal core out of the box, threw it high into the air, and then tried to catch it with his mouth.
The moment the crystal core entered his mouth, Ling Yi heard a crunching sound as it was being chewed.
This guy's teeth are just like those of a specially evolved zombie...
Xi Cheng ate a crystal and smacked his lips: "This is no different from the efficiency of normal absorption. It seems that humans are still best able to absorb it in the form of medicine."
He grabbed another handful of crystal cores and fed them to Ling Yi like sunflower seeds, then asked her, "Yi Yi, do you know that you are different from ordinary zombies?"
Ling Yi crunched on the crystal core, glancing sideways at Xi Cheng.
Isn't this nonsense?
If I were like a regular zombie, you'd be a four-dish meal by now.
“Ordinary zombies need sixteen zombie crystal cores to evolve, and their only characteristic is increased strength.” Xi Cheng was unaware that he had been secretly served at the table and was studying Ling Yi carefully: “But your first evolution after eating enough crystal cores was the evolution of your throat and vocal cords. This is the second difference between you and the zombies, besides your intelligence.”
"Although the evidence is still insufficient, I have reason to believe that Yi Yi is not a zombie. Yi Yi has simply chosen an evolutionary path that is different from ours."
So all that talk was just a roundabout way of comforting her.
Ling Yi continued chewing the crystal core, her voice hoarse as she said, "I know you talk too much."
Xi Cheng chuckled twice, touched his nose, and continued, "Moreover, I have a guess that all future evolutions will be a return to the direction of humanity."
"More flexible muscles, organs that can digest regular food, and even blood production and heartbeat restoration."
Xi Cheng placed his hand on Ling Yi's chest, his expression devout: "Perhaps one day, this place will start beating again."
Your idea is good, and your vision is pure, but you're putting your hands in the wrong place.
Although this is now a cold, lifeless piece of flesh, and you can't feel it if you touch it, it is still my chest.
Ling Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light as she grabbed Xi Cheng's wrist and brought it to her mouth: "If you touch me again, I'll eat you up."
Xi Cheng chuckled twice, not dodging: "Forget it, what if you bite me and turn me into a regular zombie, and then you evolve back into a human? What will I do then?"
When that happens, he won't even be able to find the right words to cry.
Ling Yi glanced at Xi Cheng and tossed his hand aside: "Don't do that again."
Xi Cheng said regretfully, "Is it really not possible? I wanted to give Yi Yi a physical examination. You can't feel the pain now, but what if a muscle is accidentally torn?"
"When you're back to being an adult, but you're missing several pieces of flesh, it won't look good, will it?"
