"This is the house you will be staying in. If you have any needs, feel free to call; communication within the base is not an issue."
After saying this, Wang Luojie handed a phone to Liu You'er and Xuan Mo. The phones resembled small, old-fashioned devices, black and palm-sized, with only one function: making calls. There were no games like Tetris on them.
As for the contacts in the phone, there were only four:
Food
Guide
Flame
Unknown
Simple and straightforward.
Liu You'er looked at the approximately one hundred square meter standalone house with a small courtyard, appearing to admire it while actually assessing how many cameras were present, sensing what electronic equipment was inside, and whether there was a hidden room.
"That 'unknown' refers to your respective phone numbers. The battery is sufficient for you to use for a month. I'm leaving now."
Liu You'er observed Wang Luojie, who appeared somewhat gloomy and remained indifferent throughout. She wondered about the change in him—was it due to the harshness of the apocalypse? Or something else?
Previously focused on killing Wei Yuan and thinking that the Common Zombie tide would eliminate those who fled, she had been careless. She hadn't expected him not only to survive but also to become one of the Five Great Generals of B City Base, nearly exposing herself.
However, back then, his gaze upon her was quite intriguing...
Why was there guilt? Shouldn't her first encounter with her Zombie transformation have elicited shock or fear instead?
Thinking of this, Liu You'er narrowed her eyes, following the direction in which Wang Luojie had left.
It seemed necessary for her to start from him. If her guess was correct, a cold light flashed in her eyes, quick to the point of being almost uncatchable.
"Hey~ Why are you dazed again? Go back to your room and tidy up, then let's check out the B City Base together~"
A lazy voice rang out. Liu You'er turned around and kicked him in a sensitive area, startling Xuan Mo. Fortunately, he dodged quickly; otherwise, with the force of Liu You'er's kick, well, he could have ended up in the palace.
"Are you crazy! What did I do!"
"Oh, hitting is affection and scolding is love, my boyfriend!"
"…"
Seeing Liu You'er walk into her room, Xuan Mo shook his head. Just as he was about to enter, the door was slammed shut with force, causing his nose to hurt. He then heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside. After that, all the windows were locked as well. That wasn't the main issue; the main issue was that he didn't have the key on him.
"…"
Xuan Mo frowned at the foul smell on himself. Suddenly, a window on the first floor shattered with a loud bang due to a gust of wind.
"Ah~ The wind at the base is so strong~"
Xuan Mo looked at the broken window and muttered to himself as he walked over. Without any hesitation, he stepped onto the shards of glass and entered the room.
Listening to the commotion outside, Liu You'er rolled her eyes. After turning on the showerhead in the bathroom, her figure disappeared from sight.
She entered the space; everything in the room was as usual, unchanged. She touched a photo on the table before heading into the bathroom for a shower. In the mirror, it reflected the bathroom outside of her space.
After she finished washing up, she changed her clothes and left the house. From the outside, the room still looked like a small wooden cabin, but the stream had transformed into a small river, and the mist had disappeared. Liu You'er had to use Teleportation more than a dozen times to reach the edge of the space.
On the left side of the river, various crops were planted, while on the right side were various small animals she had collected from the forest. Finally, there were other animals in the space.
Other animals...
Her expression suddenly darkened as she thought of Xiao Hong, who was still unconscious.
Xiao Hong had evolved in such a peculiar way that it attracted Xuan Mo's interest. Not only that, but he was also assessing how much she valued Xiao Hong. She had to pretend to be indifferent to keep it safe from threats.
Later, Xiao Hong found her again with Xuan Mo. She noticed the curiosity in Xuan Mo's eyes and the wolf he was riding, realizing he might suspect she had figured out his identity and deliberately brought along that foolish Xiao Hong.
According to his thinking, if she really guessed it, then knowing his beast control skill would surely lead her to suspect that Xiao Hong was under his control. If she didn't guess it, he would definitely test her later.
Her reaction was crucial...
Thus, she could only play along and feign suspicion that it was being controlled. She didn't show any concern for its injuries. Sure enough, Xuan Mo lost interest in it afterward, but for some reason, it just wouldn't wake up.
Afterward, she inexplicably obtained a base. It was obvious that it was related to W Doctor and still that murky base.
So after listening to Xuan Mo explain the basic situation and having the address in hand, she asked him to notify those people for a meeting. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she infiltrated the homes of those higher-ups to investigate and found that most of what he said was true.
However, when she arrived at Floral Shirt's house, she discovered many architectural designs for amusement parks in his drawer. Each one contained messages dedicated to his deceased wife and son. The latest one was from yesterday and had damp spots on it—clearly tears—indicating he had some feelings. Of course, it could also be a facade.
Yet during the meeting, he showed no signs of sadness at all; dressed in flamboyant attire and clearly timid, he kept trying to curry favor with her. This showed he didn't want anyone to know his true emotions and had a strong desire to survive. Moreover, it was said that he contributed significantly to building this base—simply perfect.
So she told him her plan on the grass and instructed him to follow through. Although he agreed, it was merely out of fear for his life. Later, Liu You'er told him she was willing to help him find his family portrait as long as he completed the expansion of the base.
He complied, but with resentment. However, the ant swarm and Horde given to him by Liu You'er frightened him greatly, making him obedient.
Later, Liu You'er dragged out his patience until he completely lost hope before giving him the photo, which moved him deeply and made him utterly loyal to her. She then extinguished any thoughts he had of seeing his wife and children again, leaving him with only the photo frame to channel his emotions.
The one who allowed him to express his feelings was herself!
With the pawn now loyal, she could begin to implement her other plan.
After removing all the cameras from the base, Xuan Mo frequently came to harass her, but in reality, he was testing her strength and the situation at the base. As her power grew stronger, it became evident from Xuan Mo's attitude that even the doctor began to fear her more. Thus, she started secretly building an Underground Base and raising Zombies there.
Although Floral Shirt did not speak of it, Xuan Mo surely knew. With the weakness presented to him, the doctor naturally welcomed it and watched quietly.
Because she always cared for the people and was overflowing with compassion, the Horde in the Underground Base was a reliance for her but also undoubtedly a ticking time bomb. If the Horde escaped, it would surely harm the "beloved" people!
But... who told them I care about the lives of those people in the base?
Heh~
A cold smile crept across Liu You'er's lips as she clenched her fists. Even if everything in this world were given to Liu Yue as a burial offering, it wouldn't be enough. Those filthy and greedy humans were not even half as lovable as Zombies!
If the people in the base knew she was a Zombie and had built an Underground Base to raise Zombies there, they would undoubtedly want to kill her. Even if the doctor were to torture her mercilessly, they would probably applaud and say he was right.
Hmph~ As for the favors she had given them, who would remember!
