Chapter 213: Even as a zombie you have to go to work (End)
Three years later.
"Mom, look, the Songlingqiao main area has sent out another notice!"
An eight or nine-year-old girl opened the door in a hurry. The wind chimes hanging on the door swung left and right as she opened the door, making pleasant tinkling sounds. Beads of sweat on the girl's forehead dripped onto the paper in her hand.
She walked quickly into the room and saw that there was no one there. She shouted again, with a hint of anxiety flashing across her brows.
About a minute later, a hunched figure staggered out from the inner room.
She was thin and haggard, with a pair of bright big eyes that were seriously out of place under her wrinkled skin. She narrowed her eyes slightly and slowly took the thing from the girl's hand.
After a while, she coughed twice, covered her chest and smiled.
Her thin shoulders kept shaking, and with a snap, something slipped out of her chest pocket, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and finally stopped at the girl's feet.
The girl quickly picked it up and put the faded little bear pendant into the man's hand.
Jingle Bell--
The sound of wind chimes suddenly rang out, and the next moment, a young and beautiful hand pulled the old door handle and walked in.
The piece of paper in his hand, the same as the one the girl had, was thrown to the ground, and Xie Yiyue walked over in two steps.
Without avoiding the girl next to her, she kissed her lover, who had become old and frail, deeply.
The girl next to her looked at her in surprise, "Mom Yue!"
"Long time no see, Bunny."
The rabbit was rescued by them three years ago. After evolution, it has awakened its healing ability and is just right to take care of Ye Yunye.
The girl smiled sweetly and opened the door to leave space for them.
"You look even more haggard, Ye."
Ye Yunye just smiled, took two steps and sat on the chair behind him.
"Do you regret it?" Xie Yiyue did not help her and sat down next to her.
A hint of happiness flashed across Ye Yunye's wrinkled face.
"I never care about these things, you know, but -" She changed the subject, "It's you who should regret it now, Xiao Yue'er."
"Do you think I'm with you because of your beauty?" Xie Yiyue turned her head away pretending to be angry.
Where Ye Yunye couldn't see, two lines of tears ran down her young cheeks.
Her eyes were filled with heartache. For three years, she had watched her lover become like this. No one understood the heart-wrenching feeling better than her.
Ye Yunye watched his lover crying silently, slowly walked up to her, and stroked Xie Yiyue's cheek with his fingers.
"Yue'er."
Xie Yiyue hugged her waist and said, "Don't leave me, okay, Ye."
"No," Ye Yunye rubbed her hair, "My life span is longer than all of yours, and He Ziyi said he has found a way to restore my health."
Xie Yiyue's memories gradually fell into that day three years ago.
They followed He Ziyi to Song Lingqiao Laboratory. Thanks to Ye Yunxing and Chu Litong's cover, they successfully escaped to a safe place.
However, they didn't expect that after a while, a large number of zombies with special powers suddenly appeared all around and surrounded them. The zombies here were different from the ones they had encountered before. Even with the presence of Xiong Neng and a few others, they still couldn't resist.
Even the tattooed man was bitten to pieces by zombies in order to protect them.
At the critical moment, a huge rabbit slowly came out of the narrow passage and saved them when they thought they were going to die.
Only Xie Yiyue discovered that this was her lover.
She carried them out of the laboratory and fainted completely.
It was not until Chu Litong and Ye Yunxing discovered the anti-virus poured into the sewer that they realized that Ye Yunye, who had mutated into a rabbit, had been guarding underground for so long without eating or drinking.
Although after further research by He Ziyi, Ye Yunye has turned back into a human, he looks like he has aged dozens of years and has become like this.
Ye Yunye was the first person to successfully evolve. In order to study perfect evolution, He Ziyi had to draw large amounts of her blood from time to time.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. A year ago, the anti-virus researched by Ye Yunye was finally transformed by He Ziyi and became a new evolved virus.
This virus can not only fight zombies, but also stimulate human evolution and awaken superpowers.
Depending on the type and level of superpowers, human lifespans also vary greatly.
During this period, due to the evolution of superpowers, the entire planet mutated, and both terrestrial animals and aquatic animals, as well as amphibians and plants, all underwent earth-shaking changes.
Some animals gained intelligence due to mutations, some acquired special powers, and some even acquired the ability to speak and reached friendly agreements with humans.
Of course, some animals have learned to walk upright and wear clothes due to evolution, and some have even evolved into a half-human, half-beast state.
But that's all for later. Xie Yiyue looked at the little bear pendant in Ye Yunye's hand and said in a muffled voice, "This is already his fifth time researching it. Who knows if it will work? You must never use your blood to save people again. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay." Ye Yunye looked at her red nails, "Are you ready to fight?"
"Yeah," Xie Yiyue nodded, "So... when do you plan to meet your son? I think he feels weird seeing me now. Is it really hard for him to accept going from being the class monitor to being his mother's girlfriend?"
"Pfft." Ye Yunye was amused by her logic.
"It was a really big reaction. She even accepted me."
Ye Yunye looked at the pendant in his hand and thought of Ye Yunxing's angry look three years ago.
She was young and ignorant back then, and she left Ye Yunxing in her obsession. In order to prevent her from being criticized, her parents took a fake trip during the busiest time of the company.
Let others think that Ye Yunxing is her younger brother who is many years younger than her.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yiyue said it out in the end.
"Tomorrow." Ye Yunye looked at Xie Yiyue, "I believe in He Ziyi. Tomorrow will be the last time I stay like this."
A month later.
"Breaking news! Songlingqiao Base has completely conquered the zombie city, captured the zombie lord Anxi, and seized hundreds of tons of weapons. Congratulations to humanity for being liberated again!"
For a moment, all human beings on the planet celebrated together.
Bases across various continents sent congratulatory messages one after another, and human civilization saw the light of day again.
The Internet, which was reopened half a year ago, was in an uproar.
"That's great. I can finally go out on the street without any worries now."
"Evolution successful! Yay!"
"Long Live Songlingqiao Base"
"Life has finally returned to normal"
"Nonono, it's not that I've regained my composure. My current ability level is 5, and I can live 150 more years on top of the years I had after evolution! It's much better than before!"
"Hey, hey, hey, upstairs, come on and upgrade, you'll live longer!"
"The salary at the Songlingqiao headquarters is the highest. In addition to the salary, we also give you five bottles of supernatural water every month! You can also distribute it according to different supernatural powers, saving you the trouble of exchanging on the black market."
"Wow, I don't want to die anymore. I finally survived. Now I just want to work hard and live longer. Every time I go out I can see different species."
"As a new human, I must live to see the day when even trees can talk!"
"+1, to be honest with you all, I just found a bear boyfriend hehehe~"
"My girlfriend who is a sika deer is also very cute hehe"
"The world is so interesting now. I never thought that one day I would be willing to work."
"To be honest, it's really easy to work with super powers, hahaha, and you can also level up."
"I was a sophomore in high school before the end of the world. After my evolution, I feel my brain is better than Einstein's. Please reinstate the college entrance examination soon, or my ancestors' graves will start to smoke!"
"Now I work 50 hours a day. Although I only work 10 hours, I don't feel tired at all. I am so happy!"
In three years, the entire Blue Star was littered with corpses. It was the end of the world. People without special abilities and those who were not strong enough died or were left with corpses. The human population was reduced to a quarter of its previous number.
However, the number of zombies is only one-third less than that of humans. Most of the zombies have awakened their consciousness. Some zombies can't help but ask: "What should we do then?"
The rest of the zombies followed closely behind:
"Yes, humans are taking control of the world again, what should we do?"
For a time, there was constant debate on the Internet, and many people began to vote spontaneously.
Some people hate zombies so much that they say they want to burn all of them to death; some people think they should be allowed to stay because zombies are also dead relatives of humans; and some people suggest putting all of the zombies in prison and never letting them out.
In response to various suggestions, Chu Litong, the founder of the Songlingqiao headquarters, quickly issued a notice.
"Since all zombies have now regained consciousness, they are no different from ordinary people except for their superpowers. For humanitarian and necromancy reasons, we have decided not to use any method of human voting."
There was an uproar on the Internet at this moment, and some people asked again: How to deal with it?
Chu Yizi replied: "We have already built the corpse work base just a few months ago.
According to research, zombies have no upper limit on their lifespan, and we will divide their working years according to their levels.
The lowest level fourth-order zombies in existence kill the least number of people, and they can get a chance to get out after working for ten years. The fifth-order zombies take twenty years.
Since the sixth-level zombies have completely recovered their consciousness, their working time is 100 years, the seventh-level is 200 years, and so on, with each higher level adding 100 years of working time. "
The zombies wailed collectively, and the loudest ones came from those above level six.
They died inexplicably at the end of the world, and inexplicably regained consciousness after reaching level six. They thought that everything would be fine after turning into zombies, and planned to improve their levels to become zombies on top of zombies, but now they have become working zombies again?
Oh?
Can someone tell us why we should go to work if we have turned into zombies?!
