Chapter 1347: Chapter 1342: He Has Entered...
"Sister Xu is back!"
Seeing the children gather around, a smile appeared on her face, and the others also wore smiles, making for a heartwarming scene.
The woman bent down and patted one of the children on the head, asking, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I have!" the child replied loudly and obediently.
The woman smiled, but soon she noticed the children looking at her with expectant eyes, reminding her of something she had forgotten, a promise she had made to the children.
She looked toward Long Yingjia as if she had something to say, but with the children present, she hesitated to speak.
"You guys wait here for a moment, okay?"
Xu Mengyun said to the children and then stepped away from the group to approach Long Yingjia, whispering, "Follow me."
"Okay." Long Yingjia nodded and followed Xu Mengyun into the building. They ascended to the fourth floor and entered a certain room.
Before Long Yingjia could speak, Xu Mengyun took the initiative to ask, "Do you have a younger brother?"
Long Yingjia was taken aback. "A younger brother? No, I don’t. Why?"
"I met a child in Wanhe Third District yesterday, about ten years old, looking for you, claiming you are his older sister."
"The newly arrived Liang Zi told me yesterday that the kid had asked about you and even saved her life. Speaking of which, with Liang Zi bringing so many people, how are we going to handle it? Too many people could easily expose this place."
"That’s not a problem, Kimura Arata has already taken care of it for me. Later, I’ll deal with Sugiyama Ryoko’s matter and explain your situation to her. She’s new and doesn’t know much yet. The child looking for you is very dangerous. You shouldn’t go out during this period, just stay here."
"Dangerous? Who is the child looking for me?" Long Yingjia asked, puzzled. Yesterday, she learned about this from Sugiyama Ryoko and was baffled. In Ryoko’s account, the boy was extraordinary, accompanied by several Level 8 New Human Powerhouses, and he seemed not too bad.
But in Xu Mengyun’s mouth, that child had become extremely dangerous!
"I don’t know who he is, but I’m sure he’s not human!"
"Not human? A zombie?"
"Yes."
Xu Mengyun nodded, and a chill ran through Long Yingjia’s heart. A Level 8 zombie looking for her—who knows what it wanted?
"Hey, did you have something you wanted to tell me?" Xu Mengyun asked, noticing that Long Yingjia seemed to have something to say when they first came in.
"Yeah, right, but I don’t know how to say it. You should ask Xiang Shan."
"Xiang Shan? What happened to him?" Hearing the name Xiang Shan, Xu Mengyun’s expression became serious. Xiang Shan was not a person; he was a zombie, and it was thanks to Xiang Shan that Xu Mengyun and her companions had survived until now.
This zombie was one of wisdom they had met in the second year after the Apocalypse. During that time, many people saw their loved ones turn into unrecognizable zombies that would bite at the sight of any living thing. However, some couldn’t bring themselves to kill their zombified family members, leading to extreme behaviors such as keeping zombies.
Xiang Shan was one such zombie. After turning, his parents couldn’t bear to kill him and started to feed him. Luckily, his parents were farmers, and luckily, Xiang Shan was different—he was a zombie of wisdom. Initially, even though he had the bloodlust typical of zombies, he had the discernment of a human and could sense his parents’ goodwill.
With his parents feeding him live chickens and ducks, Xiang Shan gradually recognized more and more, coming to know that the two people before him were his parents, although he had no real understanding, just a sense that they bore no malice toward him.
However, during the early Apocalypse, resources were critical, and those with too many resources were in great danger.
At that time, Xu Mengyun, leading her group of survivors, happened to pass by Xiang Shan’s family farm. Other survivors had already found the place, and Xiang Shan’s parents were unable to fend off robbers. They met their tragic end.
Xu Mengyun wanted to help, but as the only New Human, she was helpless to change anything. In the end, Xiang Shan witnessed the kind people who were his parents die before him, and he went berserk. He killed the twelve intruders who invaded his home. She thought she’d end up like those robbers, but Xiang Shan didn’t harm them; instead, he took his parents and left.
At that moment, she saw something different in this zombie. Through recognition and guidance, she got to know this zombie, but because he often showed a craving for the flesh of the living, she named him Xiang Shan. Over time, the zombie became one of them.
Now, he had become a Level 8 zombie, but precisely because he was a zombie, even in the most dire circumstances at Cloud Gorge Base, she had never thought to expose Xiang Shan, as doing so would bring him unimaginable disaster.
"He... he said Cloud Gorge Base is very dangerous, we need to... leave this place," Long Yingjia said, stammering slightly.
"Is that what he said?"
"You should ask him yourself, how we proceed from here is up to you."
After a moment of silence, Xu Mengyun headed upstairs, puzzled. Xiang Shan was staying in room number three on the seventh floor. Approaching the door, she heard voices from inside before she could enter.
"Just wait a moment, Xu Mengyun is not back yet. Let’s talk when she returns, okay?"
"We can’t wait any longer. I don’t know when she will return, and it’s very dangerous here! We must leave! Leave!"
"Hey, Xiang Shan, calm down a bit."
"No, no, no, I have to pack up everything. You must believe me, or else all of us... including me! We’ll die! We can’t stay here! We have to leave quickly! Quickly!"
"You have to explain why, this is so sudden. How do we know what’s wrong with this place?"
"I’ll say it again, it’s not just us, it’s the entire Cloud Gorge Base! It’s no longer safe! I’m not saying this for myself; I’m saying it for you, you will die! I can feel it, I can feel it... it... it has come in..."
"Who has come in?"
Inside the room, a man’s voice and another voice that was hoarse with a hint of a roar could be heard—one somewhat helpless and the other extremely agitated.
"Alright, just wait, we’ll discuss it when Xu Mengyun returns."
"Wait..."
At that moment, the door opened, and Xu Mengyun appeared before the two men.
"Xiang Shan, what’s wrong with you?"
