At the welcome party, the zombie queen, who was a high-level zombie, wrote a speech.
People from major bases came all the way here, so she naturally had to show sincerity.
Lin Xinghe knew that they had seen the cases of mutated zombies, mutated plants, and living people peacefully coexisting. Right now, what she was most worried about was whether or not this harmony could be maintained.
Although there were examples , who could know if this case was an outlier?
Nothing she said would be as persuasive as them staying here for a period of time and experiencing the process of getting along with the mutant zombies and mutant plants in person.
But the surface arrangements were always needed.
As the queen of zombies, Lin Xinghe expressed her expectation on the stage to live in harmony with human beings and repeatedly stated that they would not harm human beings.
There were also many mutant zombies in the banquet hall.
Mostly because of their nature, they all desired human flesh but were also quite afraid of humans.
Lin Xinghe saw it in their eyes and knew that they were not afraid of human beings, but rather afraid of Xiao Zang and the overly powerful Xie Wuan.
She glanced at Xiao Zang.
Xiao Zang was still standing quietly behind her, wearing the clothes she chose for him and wearing a black eye patch. She didn't know what he was thinking about in his zombie head.
Lin Xinghe glanced at his trouser pockets again. They were still bulging. Since he came back from the large supermarket that day, his pockets had bulged. Judging from the shape, she could only guess that whatever he was carrying was palm-sized.
Suddenly, Xiao Zang seemed to have seen something, and a low growl came out of his throat.
Lin Xinghe followed his line of sight and happened to see a mutant zombie in the corner trying to approach some humans. However, as soon as Xiao Zang made a sound, he immediately relented and took a few steps back, as if he were a child who had done something wrong, with his head drooping, leaning against the wall and standing motionless.
The next moment, Xiao Zang bypassed the crowd and walked to the mutant zombie. In less than a moment, Xiao Zang came back, followed by that mutated zombie.
The mutant zombie crouched in the corner.
Xiao Zang returned to Lin Xinghe as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xinghe gazed at Xiao Zang thoughtfully.
After the speech, Lin Xinghe stepped off the stage.
Many people in the audience looked at each other. They seemed to be hesitating whether to come over and greet Lin Xinghe. The protagonist group led by Shen Zixin finally came.
Shen Zixin stretched out her hand and said, Hello, I'm Shen Zixin.
Lin Xinghe took her hand.
As expected, she was the heroine—she still had a pair of delicate hands in the apocalypse!
Shen Zixin's eyes fell on Xie Wuan. She stretched out her hand again and said with a smile, You are Xie Wuan who can control mutant plants? I'm Shen Zixin.
Xie Wuan nodded coldly, but did not extend his hand to shake it back.
Shen Zixin felt a little embarrassed.
But soon, a man beside her said, Sorry, Zixin doesn't know the etiquette of your zombies. She is used to greeting others with human etiquette.
Shen Zixin retracted her hand and glanced at Xu Mo gratefully.
Su Zikang pursed his lips slightly, but said nothing.
Cheng Sheng smiled unconvincingly and said lazily, It's the apocalypse. Who still engages in etiquette? Does the nerd who grew up in a survival base only have etiquette on the brain? Etiquette must be useful in the apocalypse.
Su Zikang retorted, It's really not as good as someone's stirring up shit in the central region.
Shen Zixin said warmly, You guys stop arguing
After speaking, she said to Lin Xinghe: I'm so sorry for that. They just like to bicker, nothing else. Thank you for taking us in. We are looking forward to a harmonious coexistence with zombies and mutant plants. If you ever need us to do anything, just let us know.
Lin Xinghe said, No worries.
When the welcome party was about to end, Qi Qing finally appeared. After he arrived, he stayed in the corner, side by side with another mutant zombie like a gatekeeper.
After the welcome party, Lin Xinghe and her party returned to the presidential suite on the top floor.
Fu Zhou and Jiuge both knew that the school was targeting Lin Xinghe. They were not stupid. They had their doubts about the school. After being awakened by Lin Xinghe's operation at the entrance of the school cafeteria, both of them understood that the school was definitely not a benevolent organization. If they didn't find a way out, they would be killed by the school sooner or later. Thus, when Lin Xinghe proposed to form a team, they did not hesitate to choose their alliances.
After reuniting with Lin Xinghe in the examination room and seeing Lin Xinghe mocking Principal Wang in public without hesitation or mercy, they knew that Lin Xinghe planned to tear his facade off completely.
They were on the same boat as Lin Xinghe. If Lin Xinghe decided to reveal Principal Wang's true face, it meant that they also had a duty to show Principal Wang's true face..
Fu Zhou had his own considerations. He realized that sooner or later, he would have revealed the other's true face. Now that it was at a time that his actions could anger Principal Wang, he happily joined the team that mocked Principal Wang.
Fu Zhou asked, Are those so-called protagonists the ultimate weapon of Principal Wang?
Jiuge instantly said, They truly are protagonists.
Lin Xinghe said with a smile, Yes, it's the protagonist group. Shen Zixin is undoubtedly the heroine, but the male lead is hard to say. Su Zikang, Xu Mo, and Cheng Sheng all have the potential to be male leads. Qin Yan said that they were almost a team. From the current point of view, their relationship has not developed, and Shen Zixin, the heroine, is not a famous person at present. The examination room should still be at the early stages of the novel world Xu Mo is the blood-related son of the leader of Area A, so he probably came to inquire about the situation at present.
Fu Zhou replied, Night is advantageous terrain for zombies, so they probably won't act now. If they mean ill, we may be able to know what they want to do if we follow them quietly during the day
Lin Xinghe pondered slightly and said, Actually, we can also think from the perspective of Principal Wang. We have absolute force here. No matter how high the force of the protagonist group is, they can't deal with us together, as deep into the enemy camp as they are. That is something that can be relied on. Now that we are approaching the late stage of the examination room, Principal Wang should have prepared a heavyweight weapon after the ordinary zombies, mutant zombies, and mutant plants.
Lin Xinghe added, It is not difficult to guess that this weapon is related to the protagonist group. Maybe the heroine can destroy half the world with a snap of her fingers But at present, the heroine is still in the early stage of the development of the novel world Either her power has been sheltered or has not yet been awakened.
Thinking of something, Lin Xinghe tilted her head nonchalantly and said, I personally think that Principal Wang's understanding of this novel world is not deep enough. Principal Wang, I want to teach you a free lesson as a thank you gift
Lin Xinghe called Qin Yan over.
She asked Qin Yan about various information related to the protagonist group.
Qin Yan had been in contact with all the residents. As soon as Lin Xinghe asked, she went to consult more residents who might know. In less than an hour, Lin Xinghe grasped some information about the protagonist group, such as family background, personality, etc.
Lin Xinghe paid the most attention to their family backgrounds.
She spoke to the air. Principal Wang, do you know what is the most important thing in a novel? Yes, it is the character design. The soul element that can support a whole novel is definitely the character design. Where did their personalities come from? That is definitely closely related to their family backgrounds. Only by understanding the family background and growth process of a character can you better understand the cause of the personality of that character.
Principal Wang, you have to deeply understand their personalities in order to come up with more effective ways to target me. You've failed every time, and of course, you now feel that you have control of the ultimate weapon. Maybe you think everything I've said is just a joke, but it doesn't matter. I'll go and prove it to you now
Lin Xinghe went to the floor where the protagonist group was located.
The first thing she knocked on was Xu Mo's door.
When Xu Mo saw her, his eyes immediately became alert, but the emotion was fleeting, and he said warmly, Is something wrong?
Lin Xinghe said, Let's go in and talk.
Having said that, she walked in and closed the door.
Xiao Zang followed behind her.
Lin Xinghe said straightforwardly, Let me explain my intentions. You chose wisely in coming here. You didn't have a good time in Area A, right? You have five younger brothers who have awakened different abilities. The pressure is not small, right?
Xu Mo asked Lin Xinghe, What do you want to say?
She pointed to the night scene outside the window and said, This is a beautiful city, rich in resources. It's hard for people not to be moved by it. Don't you want to own it? Don't you want to be a person in power? When you have power, will Shen Zixin still not like you?
She unfolded the city map on the table and circled the east panel with her finger.
This city is too big. I can't manage it alone, and I need talents like you, I will divide the land here for you. Mutant zombies and mutant plants will never be your enemy, and you can be the lord of this land. You can recruit people to develop your territory as you like. We provide water, electricity, and signal here. All the materials in this territory belong to you, and what you need to do is to pay me 20% of the materials produced every year.
She smiled and said, You have one night to think about it. Answer me when you get up tomorrow morning.
After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, she left Xu Mo's room and went to Su Zikang's room and then Cheng Sheng's. She said exactly the same thing but marked different pieces of land.
She finally went to Shen Zixin's room and promised the other the land in the middle.
She shrugged and said, How can men wield all the power? Do the partners you search for have to be limited to just this handful of people? When you become a lord and own a rich land, you can have any man you want. I promise not to interfere in any decision you make.
After Lin Xinghe finished speaking, she left.
She got into the elevator that was repaired this morning and said to the air, Principal Wang, do you think they will be tempted by power?
