In front of Handong TV Station…
Lu Chuan and Zhou Yinghao stayed outside. There were people coming in and out from time to time. The big TV building was bright and lively.
The big entrance was a little deserted, with only a few girls waiting there.
The girls were holding boards with Ye Lingwei’s name.
There were about a dozen girls from the school nearby who organized groups to welcome their idol.
In the past, there would definitely be a crowd as long as Ye Lingwei appeared. But now, there were only a dozen girls. That kind of downgrade made them pity Ye Lingwei.
In addition, there were a few small media reporters.
Ye Lingwei was an expired celebrity, but she was once famous, and was worthy enough for them to follow.
Lu Chuan looked at the time; it was exactly ten o’clock. She was about to come out.
A few minutes later…
Ye Lingwei and Zhao Xueyan walked out. Ye Lingwei didn’t even wear the large shades that celebrities often wore, and faced the crowd with her full appearance. With her current fame, she wouldn’t attract too many fans.
Seeing that there were only a dozen girls at the entrance, Ye Lingwei looked a little disappointed, but she still cheered up.
Zhao Xueyan was a little angry.
With Sister Weiwei’s influence, it couldn’t be as bad as it was now, right?
As soon as Ye Lingwei appeared, the dozen girls became excited and raised the signs in their hands to surround them. To them, this moment made their long wait worthwhile.
Autographs and photos.
After the girls left, the reporters followed with all sorts of questions.
After ten minutes, the satisfied reporters left.
Zhao Xueyan said irritably, “Sister Weiwei, I feel bad for you.”
Ye Lingwei smiled faintly and said, “The fans should give up on me since I haven’t been performing well in the past two or three years. But I believe that as long as I put in the effort, there will always be rewards.”
Not far away, Lu Chuan issued an order.
Zhou Yinghao, who was holding the small box in his hand, immediately strode toward Ye Lingwei mechanically.
Naturally, people wouldn’t be defensive toward a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid.
Straightforwardly and adorably, Zhou Yinghao walked to Ye Lingwei, stretched out his hand, and passed her the small box.
The light from the entrance was sufficient enough to see Zhou Yinghao’s cold, intense face and hollow eyes. Zhou Yinghao didn’t say a word, like a stubborn child, making some kind of irrevocable decision.
Ye Lingwei was taken aback. “Little boy, is this for me?”
Zhou Yinghao nodded mechanically. With a zombie’s intelligence, his actions were already impressive.
Looking at the odd child, Ye Lingwei felt her head hurt. How could she accept a gift from a child? She shook her head. “Little boy, it’s late now, you should go home quickly. Don’t worry your parents.”
Normal children would shy away with fear.
But is Zhou Yinghao a normal child?
He executed Lu Chuan’s commands perfectly, and had no intention of retracting his outstretched hand. He continued to hold the box in front of Ye Lingwei, staring at her with hollow eyes.
How penetrating are a zombie’s eyes?
It was just two or three seconds but Ye Lingwei couldn’t stand it. She just sensed an unspeakable aura around the little kid that made her uneasy.
It was rare for Zhao Yanxue to see Ye Lingwei’s fans give her gifts, and she took the initiative. “Sister Weiwei, since he means well, let’s just accept it. The car is here, let’s go.”
Seeing that Zhao Yanxue had accepted it, Ye Lingwei didn’t say anything more. She bent down and said softly, “Thank you, little boy.”
Zhou Yinghao, who completed the order, turned around and left, disregarding Ye Lingwei’s words.
The program she attended had a lot of interactive segments, and just now, she had to deal with the fans and reporters. All this left Ye Lingwei a little tired. Looking at the little kid that left mechanically, Ye Lingwei was slightly dazed.
Ye Lingwei let herself relax after getting into the commercial car arranged by the TV station.
Zhao Xueyan passed the small box to Ye Lingwei. “This is the biggest gain tonight, Sister Weiwei, aren’t you going to take a look?”
Ye Lingwei rolled her eyes, but still opened the box.
The lighting in the car wasn’t good, but she could tell that the watch in the box was extraordinary.
The small piece of paper inside had the words Lu Chuan.
Ye Lingwei’s face suddenly changed.
This gift was actually from Lu Chuan, the man she had foolishly given herself to.
……
Lu Chuan silently watched Ye Lingwei’s car drive off before appearing from around the corner.
He borrowed Zhou Yinghao’s hands to give a gift so that Ye Lingwei would not refuse.
Lu Chuan knew that if he had shown up, Ye Lingwei would definitely leave without hesitation, let alone accept his gift. Although they had a conversation two days ago, they were still parallel lines that wouldn’t intersect without any change.
“Let’s go home.”
Lu Chuan didn’t care. He hugged his arms and left the TV station.
Zhou Yinghao still didn’t say a word and followed Lu Chuan like a cold youngster.
……
Countdown to the zombie attack: 6 days, 16 hours, 55 minutes, 22 seconds.
When Lu Chuan appeared in the biochemical plant, he immediately turned two million out of the 2.3 million into funds for manufacturing zombies.
With a sigh of relief, Lu Chuan issued an order to manufacture 20 zombies.
The production workshop was mysterious and closed off. The engine was purring softly in the background, and as the mist dissipated, 20 zombies appeared on the product export stage.
Random gender, age, and appearance…
After a few random selections, Lu Chuan wouldn’t know what would appear in the batch he produced.
For example, among the 20 zombies, one was a brawny man in the form of a policeman. He wore a mottled police uniform and a pair of military shoes, but didn’t have his cap and gun.
There were two female nurses with glamorous figures. One of them wore a nurse hat and had on a black silk stockings and white uniform. They had exquisite looks and the twin peaks that were on the verge of explosion threatened to burst out of their uniforms.
Just these were enough to seduce men into committing crimes.
Unfortunately, when you saw their front view, even the toughest men would be relegated into tiny caterpillars.
Their faces were pale, their teeth were black, and their eyes oozed black liquid, which streamed down their faces. One of them had ears that had decayed into black bundles.
Not only that, if he looked closely at their well-defined bodies, he could see many decaying parts beneath the nurse uniform.
One of the twin peaks was extremely rotten, and he couldn’t help but shudder.
In addition to the female zombie nurses, there was also a courier zombie and a construction worker zombie.
A tall professional-looking female zombie stood within the group like an intellectual. It was a pity the virus had ruined her appearance. The decayed face did not match her professional outfit.
The remaining zombies were mostly ordinary citizens, such as elderly, children, and women.
If they weren’t zombies, Lu Chuan would definitely take a few more looks at the charming female nurses and the intellectual urban beauty.
The 20 zombies stood together, enough to form a small group of zombies.
The zombies manufactured by the biochemical plant were numbered. In the apocalypse, they didn’t have names, but only a production number.
However, once Lu Chuan brought a zombie to modern times, its number would automatically be replaced by the next zombie and they would no longer exist in the numbering system.
Zombies like Uncle Zombie, Zhou Yinghao, Guo Zheng, Zhong Tong, and Yang Pingan did not occupy the numbers in the apocalyptic numbering system.
The moment Lu Chuan looked at a zombie made in the biochemical plant, their number and some simple information would appear.
If there was only a number, it meant that the zombie was very ordinary.
If simple information appeared, it meant that this zombie had certain abilities that ordinary zombies did not possess.
For example: Lurking.
In fact, these abilities could also be called their professional skills, or a kind of instinct.
Just like human beings, some could drive, some could fly airplanes, some could repair cars, some had excellent diving abilities, some were good climbers, some were computer masters… and so on; they could all be called skills or personal abilities.
These zombies were originally humans infected by a virus and it wasn’t surprising for a minority of them to have retained these abilities.
For example, the police zombie, 04, had marksmanship written in his information.
Based on Lu Chuan’s understanding, if he was given a gun, he might be able to use it. It was just hard to say how accurate he could be with a zombie’s intelligence. But in any case, he would be much more accurate than the zombies in the form of citizens.
This time, the zombies were produced in a batch, and finally, Lu Chuan made some unexpected discoveries.
If these could be considered skills.
