Chapter 230: Deal With Personal Matters Yourself!
Ning Shu was thinking that since humans were now able to use the crystal nuclei from zombies to increase the strength of their special abilities, humans will probably be getting stronger.
She had pried open zombie brains before and found that there was an unexplainable crystal in the some of the zombies’ brains. Some zombies had them, some didn’t, and some were only the size of a rice grain while others were as large as a thumb.
These things were probably the zombies’ source of energy. When Ning Shu asked Xiao Ming if he had anything like this, he nodded.
She rubbed her own head. She suddenly wondered if she had something like this in her brain as well. The fact that a foreign object was in her brain but there was no sensation at all felt very strange.
It seemed like zombies and humans were in a mutually dependent position. Zombies needed to eat humans, while humans needed zombie crystal nuclei to increase their special abilities.
Ning Shu wondered when this fragile balance would collapse. When it did, hopefully it wouldn’t destroy this plane of existence along with it.
Ning Shu and Xiao Ming wandered around for a long time before they finally saw a car. Xiao Ming’s reflex was to summon zombies, but Ning Shu stopped him. Xiao Ming looked at Ning Shu, confused, as he asked, “Why?”
“We’re going to follow them secretly to see which base these humans are from,” said Ning Shu.
“Why?” asked Xiao Ming again.
“I’m looking for a human, so of course I have to follow humans,” said Ning Shu.
“Why don’t you ask them?” Xiao Ming still had questions.
Da fudge, why so many ‘whys’!? Ning Shu lost her patience and said, “Just listen to me, alright? If we head over to ask them like this, we’ll be attacked.”
“I can… call the monsties,” said Xiao Ming. “Not scared of them.”
The ‘monsties’ Xiao Ming was talking about were the ordinary zombies that didn’t have intelligence. He had even come up with such a fashionable name for those zombies.
However, they were getting farther and farther away from the main point, so Ning Shu said, “Shut up, we’re following them.”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up…” Xiao Ming became a playback machine again.
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu cautiously followed the vehicle that was rushing forward and was very sneaky in order to avoid being discovered. Behind her, Xiao Ming followed suit.
Every time she saw Xiao Ming imitate everything she did regardless of whether it was a good habit or a bad one, she would feel like she was committing a great sin. She couldn’t help but wonder how Xiao Ming would turn out. In her heart, she silently prayed ‘Amitabha Buddha.’
Hopefully, Xiao Ming would grow up to be a wonderfully cultured, polite, and intelligent youth with morals.
The car soon came to a base and entered it. As Ning Shu looked at this base, she silently sighed about fate. She had actually returned to the base from before.
Did her current actions count as courting death? Was she throwing her life away by running towards Phoenix?
When little Classmate Xiao Ming saw the base, he reflexively prepared to summon his monsties again. Ning Shu pulled him and said, “Let’s find a place near the base to rest.”
“Why?” asked Xiao Ming.
“I’m not sure if the person I’m looking for is in this base,” replied Ning Shu.
“If the monsties come, they’ll come out. They’re afraid of the monsties,” said Xiao Ming earnestly.
No, they were even more scared of you! Ning Shu felt like she had no way to refute when she heard Xiao Ming’s simple and crude idea.
“Don’t abuse your power and make others do your work for you all the time. It’s important to deal with personal matters yourself!” Ning Shu said in a stern manner.
Xiao Ming replied ‘oh’ sulkily.
