Chapter 139 Little Flower Tames the Loyal Zombie King (20)
Qi Heng stood alone on the high platform, gazing at the surging horde of zombies before him.
His dark eyes were fixed on them, a hint of barely perceptible pity hidden in his indifferent gaze.
These zombies in front of us were once living beings of flesh and blood, but now they have become the victims of humanity's attempt to end this catastrophe.
He himself was also a victim of that experiment.
Fate is nothing more than a series of cycles.
Humanity brought this catastrophe upon itself, and now it is all coming to an end, with the same group of people paying the price.
This perfectly illustrates the saying: "When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer."
He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming firm and resolute, as if he had made a decision.
-
In the southern base.
"Xiaoyu, don't worry too much. You know Qi Heng's abilities. He promised you he would come back safely, and he will definitely do it, okay?"
Half an hour ago, Qi Heng used his mind to summon zombies from the high platform. Under the cover of this, Qin Feng and the other three successfully detoured through the third district and arrived at the southern base, where they met Chu Hua, who had also rushed there.
Chu Hua arrived overnight after receiving Qi Heng's message and following the best route he provided. She also managed to cross the third district and reach the southern base while Qi Heng was gathering zombies.
Chu Hua's words of comfort had no effect whatsoever, and even she herself was unsure of what to do.
Qi Heng sent the message asking Chu Hua to come quickly only to ensure Chu Yu's safety. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect Chu Yu, so he sent the message asking Chu Hua to come quickly just in case.
She knew that Qi Heng's willingness to take on this task had nothing to do with any grand cause; he only ever had eyes for that one person.
At this moment, Chu Yu is watching the video that Xiao Nai Gao is showing her.
Qi Heng injected himself with an entire box of serum reagent in one go before he began to summon zombies on a large scale.
No one knows what his plan is.
A sudden commotion broke out outside. Chu Hua and Qin Feng went out to check the situation, but Chu Yu remained seated and motionless.
She knew what had happened without even going outside.
On the high platform, a man dressed in black raised his hands.
In an instant, a fierce wind arose and dark clouds surged across the land.
The zombies who came to worship the zombie king stood still, not understanding why, and all raised their heads to look at their king.
A fierce wind swept up smoke and debris, making it almost impossible to see.
Chu Yu could only barely make out the man's figure as it gradually blurred and his body outline faded away...
"don't want!!!"
She finally understood his method.
Use yourself as a vessel, use yourself as medicine.
The storm quickly subsided, the smoke cleared, and the sun shone again.
The platform was empty.
Below, zombies lay sprawled in a haphazard fashion, unconscious. Zombies injected with the serum would fall into a coma, their bodies automatically activating a repair mechanism that would last from a few minutes to several hours, until the zombie virus was completely eliminated, at which point they would awaken.
Chu Yu stared blankly at the high platform, unable to believe that the omnipotent man had simply vanished.
Where is Little Milk Cake?!
She still couldn't accept that Qi Heng had simply disappeared from her sight.
[Um, host, I can't detect Qi Heng's life signal either...]
impossible!
She doesn't believe it!
He's gone, but her mission isn't over yet!
Correct!
Task!
[Qi Heng's affection level isn't full yet, is it? My mission isn't over yet!]
If the mission objective dies before the mission is completed, she will definitely receive a notification that the mission has been terminated!
However, this notification is not currently available.
Does this mean that Qi Heng is still alive?
[Host, I just checked. Qi Heng's love level was at 100% the second before he disappeared. Mission complete.]
The last glimmer of hope was gone.
Chu Yu slumped on the sofa, completely exhausted, her mind almost blank, staring blankly into space.
"Xiaoyu!!"
……
When Chu Yu woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw the familiar ceiling.
That's her bedroom.
Everything that happened before I lost consciousness flooded my mind in an instant.
Qi Heng!
She sat up abruptly, frantically calling out to Little Milk Cake.
How long have I been asleep? Has Qi Heng contacted me yet?
She simply did not believe that Qi Heng was dead or had disappeared.
[Host, you've been asleep for three days. While you were unconscious, Chu Hua and the leader of the Southern Base jointly deployed a large-scale serum vaccine. The zombies in Zones 1, 2, and 3 have basically completed their injections.]
Did we fly back?
Yes, the vaccines were also delivered using helicopters.
Previously, because the noise of airplanes was too loud and could easily attract zombies, in order to ensure the safety of humans hiding on the ground, all base alliances jointly set a rule that all types of aircraft should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Chu Yu got up, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains.
Nothing outside has changed, yet everything has changed.
She stood quietly by the window, the sunlight streaming through the glass and falling on her face, warm and gentle.
My gaze traveled across the street to the familiar villa across the way.
Qi Heng.
Where are you?
……
Chu Hua came to stay with her for a while on the day she woke up, offered a few words of comfort, and then left in a hurry.
Three more days passed, and she gradually calmed down from her initial shock and grief.
She knew now was not the time to wallow in grief; there were more important things waiting for her.
Qi Heng's efforts cannot be in vain; she must pull herself together and join the team rebuilding their home.
[Little Milk Cake, how's the base doing now?]
[Host, order has been largely restored at the base. The serum vaccine deployment was very successful; most of the zombies have been cured, and the rest are gradually recovering. Chu Hua and the leader of the Southern Base are organizing personnel for cleanup and reconstruction work.]
Although this disaster brought near-annihilation to humanity, it has also brought new hope.
Qi Heng's sacrifice was not only to protect her, but also for the future of all humanity.
"Little Milk Cake, I'm not leaving this little world for now. I want to join the reconstruction efforts. Qi Heng's sacrifice cannot be in vain. I want to help this world restore order so that everyone can live peaceful lives."
A few days ago, when she had just woken up, Little Milk Cake asked her if she wanted to leave the little world immediately.
The mission is complete; staying here will only bring back painful memories.
She thought she would want to run away, but hesitated when she made the decision.
The fact that everything here needs to be rebuilt is something Qi Heng achieved at his own expense.
How could she just leave like that?
[Host, I support your decision!]
Outside the northern base, people were busy in the square; some were clearing rubble, some were building temporary shelters, and some were distributing food and water.
Chu Yu walked over, picked up her tools, and began clearing away the rubble and debris from the street.
She once thought that Qi Heng was called a strongman because of his unparalleled extraordinary abilities.
Now, after experiencing this ordeal, she has finally come to a realization.
True strength lies in compassion born from understanding human nature, not in indifference born from avoiding suffering.
Although the man always said he didn't care about anything and was only devoted to her, in the end, a gentleman judges by his actions, not his intentions. His deeds truly made a huge contribution to the reconstruction of human civilization.
