Chapter 226: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 18

Outside the North Xia Building, Su Tang kicked a stone out of boredom. Shen Yi had been inside for half an hour. During this time, some low-level zombies wandered over, but they were all dealt with by the ability user squad. However, as soon as one wave was eliminated, a second appeared, and after the third wave was handled, the ability user squad grew restless.

“Dr. Lin, do you think we should still wait?”

Su Tang glanced at the gloomy building and calmly replied, “I believe in him.”

As soon as she said this, some wanted to retort. Yes, you might trust him, but that didn't mean they did! There was a level seven zombie inside. If things went south, they could all die here. However, before they could voice their concerns, Wang Wei silenced them.

Wang Wei played the peacemaker with a smile, urging, “We should trust Dr. Lin.”

He had briefly fought against Shen Yi. While others might not know, he understood that Shen Yi wouldn't be easily defeated.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Shen Yi emerged, clutching a head.

The zombie's face was unrecognizable, not a single patch of skin intact. Its hair and face, charred by lightning, were still smoking. Getting closer, one could even smell the faint scent of roasted meat.

The ability users were stunned. This… was this the level seven zombie? Just like that, silently eliminated? Just what level ability user was this guy?!

Shen Yi's expression was icy, but his gaze softened slightly when it met Su Tang's. “Sorry for the wait.”

Su Tang's mouth opened slightly. Her focus wasn't on the level seven zombie's head, but on Shen Yi. Although he looked impressive appearing with the zombie's head, he had been fine before entering the building. Now, he was covered in blood, and even his handsome face bore various scratches.

Su Tang was angry. Hadn't she told him to lure it out? Why did he go and finish it off by himself?!

“Are you hurt?” Her tone was slightly cold, her eyes carrying a hint of anger. However, the more she acted this way, the happier Shen Yi became.

Because only someone who cared would react like this.

Shen Yi said, “Just some minor scratches, nothing serious.” He then lifted the zombie head. “A gift for you.”

Su Tang's face remained expressionless. “Can I refuse?”

As if he hadn't heard her, Shen Yi pulled out a knife and cracked open the zombie's skull.

The level seven zombie's crystal nucleus was much larger than those of other zombies. Under the sunlight, it sparkled like a diamond, emitting a brilliant light.

Such an ugly creature, yet containing something so beautiful inside. How ironic.

Shen Yi retrieved the crystal nucleus. His movements were swift, his hands untainted by blood. For a moment, Su Tang thought he resembled those proposing to their girlfriends, carefully holding a diamond, hoping for her acceptance.

Of course, this thought only lasted for thirty seconds. When Shen Yi spoke again, she wanted to smack him.

Shen Yi said, “To nourish your brain.”

Shen Yi, the epitome of a straight man, meant no harm. He simply thought that the doctor, who had to use her brain every day, expended a lot of energy. She was also an ability user, so naturally, she could absorb the crystal nucleus.

Su Tang replied, “Uncle Shen, you should keep it for yourself.”

Nourish her brain? She didn't need that!

After speaking, Su Tang turned and walked towards the vehicle. Shen Yi looked puzzled. Finally, Wang Wei couldn't help but pat his shoulder. “Young man, that's not how you pursue someone.”

Shen Yi humbly asked for advice, “Then how should I?”

Wang Wei replied, “It's the apocalypse now, no need for fancy gestures. For girls, the most important thing is a sense of security.” He glanced at the crystal nucleus in Shen Yi's hand. “You should keep this crystal nucleus and improve your own strength, giving Dr. Lin a greater sense of security.”

Shen Yi fell silent. Between the two of them, he was the one who constantly felt insecure.

Wang Wei said that because he could see that Dr. Lin cared more about Shen Yi than the crystal nucleus. Of course, Shen Yi was a true man, obtaining the crystal nucleus and thinking of his partner first instead of himself. Ah, even in the apocalypse, he was still being fed dog food. The captain felt bitter.

As soon as Su Tang got back into the vehicle, Shen Yi followed. Without outsiders present, he didn't hold back.

“Did you use your own blood for yesterday's reagent?”

Su Tang brushed it off. “It's for zombies. How could they be lured without some human blood and flesh? What's wrong? Did you try it? How was the effect?”

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Shen Yi pressed his lips together.

She already ate so little, and now she was drawing her own blood? Did she even care about her health?!

Su Tang thought he was acting strange, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Yi said coldly, “If you need blood in the future, take mine.”

Su Tang chuckled. “Uncle Shen, are you silly? I think you're the one who needs their brain nourished. Why would I draw your blood? To create a virus?”

Shen Yi became speechless. He had forgotten that he was no longer an ordinary human, but a monster.

And so, Shen Yi retreated into himself.

She and he were different.

Su Tang couldn't understand what was wrong with him. Since his blackening value hadn't fluctuated, she casually coaxed him half-heartedly, “Alright, I don't dislike you. You're still very capable. Look, in just over half an hour, you eliminated that level seven zombie. Our Uncle Shen is the best!”

Was Shen Yi someone easily appeased?

Yes, he really was.

“Not the best.”

If it weren't for her, he might have already died in that cold research institute. She was his savior, and the person he admired.

Su Tang continued her insincere flattery, “Mm, not the best, our Uncle Shen is the King of Zombies, the most powerful kind.”

As she continued, she realized something was wrong. She was the one who was angry, so why was she the one coaxing him?!

And so, it was Su Tang's turn to retreat into herself.

The drive back to the base wasn't long. Because of the mandatory checks at the entrance, the crystal nucleus couldn't be hidden. As they approached the base gate, Shen Yi couldn't help but ask again, “Lin Yang, are you really not going to take this crystal nucleus?”

Su Tang glared at him. “No, I don't need my brain nourished.”

Shen Yi finally realized, belatedly, that she was fixated on the phrase "nourish your brain." He felt both curious and exasperated. “That's not what I meant.”

Su Tang retorted, “If that's not what you meant, then you keep it.”

Since she had made it so clear, Shen Yi was amused. “Really don’t want it?”

Su Tang replied, “No. After you absorb it, tell me about the changes in your body.”

A level seven crystal nucleus contained a tremendous amount of energy, so it shouldn't be like the level four crystal nucleus, which caused no noticeable changes after absorption.

Half an hour later, Su Tang watched as the crystal nucleus turned into powder and couldn't help but ask, “How do you feel?” As she finished speaking, Shen Yi opened his eyes. The moment he did, she froze, then exclaimed, “Shen Yi, your eyes are back to normal!”

Not only had his eyes returned to their black color, but the wounds on his body had also vanished.
