8.8 – You two main culprits, how long do you plan to hide here for?

For the past half a month, Xue Ling and Xun Yu had been giving pointers to the small teams that entered the forest. The two of them usually left together and returned together, and the team that was in charge of looking after their base camp had already gotten used to them coming and going together, but, surprisingly, no one thought anything of it.

It was not because Xun Yu was not trying hard enough, it was mainly because Xue Ling was acting too proper. His serious and conscientious face made people feel too embarrassed to even guess at whether or not anything was happening between them.

Xun Yu felt so suffocated, and his expression was never good during this period.

It was bad enough that his expression was not good. Xue Ling even went so far as to concernedly ask him why he was unhappy. Was it because the food was not tasty, or his treatment was not good enough?

How could Xun Yu answer? Should he say that he was being suffocated by his unfulfilled desire?

He was afraid that Xue Ling would break off all relations with him in the next second, and kick him out of the Snow Fox Mercenary Corps... When that happened, not only would he have failed to pursue his lover, it might even turn into a fight between the two of them...

What twisted him up even more was his identity. Xun Yu had never been bothered about being a zombie before. He was the first zombie to have his own consciousness after the apocalypse, and he remembered what had happened to him before. He had discovered his strength almost immediately after he had woken up again from death.

Xun Yu took these things for granted. Even if his species changed, Xun Yu would still do what he needed to live, so he had never been lost or confused about the differences between ability users and zombies. He controlled all the zombies, and slowly occupied human territory, and discovered that they were not really immortal. Although they seemed to have been infected and died from the radiation, in reality, they could still use some of the same physiological functions as human beings.

They did not need to eat, or breathe, and did not have any body temperature, but they still had physiological needs, and blood still flowed in their veins. Their hearts had stopped beating, but the nucleus became a substitute for the heart. They were not as horrible as the zombies in those zombie apocalypse movies – they just looked rather pale sometimes. During other times, they were not very different from the ability users.

Xun Yu did not think that there was anything wrong with these changes. Since the world had changed, there was nothing wrong with other things changing. This persisted until a while ago, when a scientist under Xun Yu told him that if there were only zombies left in the world, they would become extinct sooner or later.

Because they were not like those written about in the novels who had an extended lifespan, they would die. If they could die, then reproduction became an issue that the scientists needed to resolve. That was when they discovered that two zombies together could not reproduce and thrive. This was a major matter that involved the extermination of a species, so they immediately reported this news to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu made a prompt decision. This world did not only have zombies, and if zombies could not reproduce on their own, then they should pull some ability users over to give it a try. Before they had discovered Xue Ling, they had decided to go to Yanshan base to catch a group of ability users. If they could really discover a way to reproduce with them, then Xun Yu would start thinking about how to cooperate with the ability users.
