40 Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All 16 (1/2)
”Pure water doesn't conduct electricity.” Yin Mei said, sitting next to the reading zombie emperor. All the zombie emperor really did these days was lounge around and read, or play games with the Ri twins when he was free. Yin Mei really wanted to ask him if he really was the zombie emperor or a godd*mn freeloader?
”You're right, it doesn't. Why are you saying this?” The zombie emperor said, flipping a page in his book and not looking toward the girl. Somehow, these days he always felt irritated when he looked at her, because he always felt like he was on the verge of remembering something, but never could. That made him feel extremely annoyed all the time. In the end, he could only try to not pay attention to her, though there was something in him that demanded he follow her all the d*mn time... just thinking about it was making him feel angry again!
”I found this out recently. When I asked the Dark Saint what abilities would work against a lightning user, to my surprise, he said water abilities were quite suitable, since they can create completely pure water.” Yin Mei said. For most water users, they didn't create water out of thin air, but rather gathered up water molecules from the air around them to create water. But, that didn't mean they couldn't create water at all, it was just more energy consuming. And, when they did create water, they could create completely pure water if they so desired.
”Ha, haha, hahaha!” Yin Mei couldn't help but laugh, clutching her stomach as she leaned forward, tears springing up in her eyes. Who would expect that this cannon fodder called Lu Mei had a power that was so powerful against Lei Han's? She never would have realized it by herself!
Her laughter soon died down, and she fell silent, her face cold. She leaned back, looking at the ceiling. The silence stretched between the two for a long time, before Yin Mei finally spoke again. ”I'm going to be leaving. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but it shouldn't take more than a few weeks. Take care of the kids for me.”
She stood up, grabbing a bag on the kitchen counter before leaving the room.
The zombie emperor looked up only after she was gone, a complex expression on his face. But in the end, he did nothing about this feeling in his chest, and remained in the silent and empty room.
Before leaving, Yin Mei also talked to Ri En and Ri Yi. It wasn't that she didn't trust the zombie emperor, it was just that she clearly understood his personality. He was like the demon king... he didn't like to work! He was an emperor that couldn't do anything without someone else doing it for him. Yin Mei nodded. Actually, this wasn't exactly true. It was because she always did everything for him first that she never experienced him doing anything for himself, and thus misunderstood it as him being unable to do anything rather than him not having the opportunity to do anything.
Ri En and Ri Yi were nervous knowing that Yin Mei would be leaving for such a long time, and even more nervous when they found out she hadn't told Qin Shuang yet - f*ck, when he finds out, won't he end up destroying half the city with his tantrum? They were really worried! But no matter how much they begged Yin Mei to reconsider, she light heartedly laughed as she left them to their own devices.
Godd*mn, they didn't know that she was always this type of irresponsible person!
As for Yin Mei, after equipping herself with all manners of weapons and taking the military vehicle (since she was unwilling to walk), she began her journey to B City.
Well, all she could do was hope that H City wouldn't go to hell without her there. Only after thinking about it a bit did she realize just how much she was responsible for. She was the one who made all the decisions and commanded all the zombies. She even had to act as a teacher, chef, and mother for all the kids!
Man, she should get a Nobel prize for all the sh*t she did for H City and their group.
Driving in the military car, she drove on the empty road. Before, there had been cars abandoned here, but they had all been moved off by their zombies. Many people had also hijacked a few for themselves.
The road wasn't smooth, and had places where it looked like it had been partially destroyed due to various reasons. Even so, it was better than driving off road.
It didn't take long for Yin Mei to catch up with Andrei, maybe forty five minutes, who was walking at the edge of the road. Seeing his figure from far off, Yin Mei came to a stop next to him, and he looked at her in surprise.
”Want a ride?” She asked with a smile.
Andrei wouldn't give up such a sweet opportunity, so he nodded and got into the passenger seat.
”Where are you going?” He asked, curious. He felt that this girl was really mysterious.
”I decided to go see someone I know in B City. Spur of the moment decision.” Yin Mei answered. ”I'll come with you to go see the doctor,” Yin Mei said. Would he kill her the moment he saw her?? Ahahaha, she was looking forward to it a little. Anyways, there was a little something she needed from his lab. She once more felt a little guilty. After stealing from him and running away, she would only be coming back to visit and steal from him again...
Oh well, such was life!
”... How is the kid doing?” Andrei asked after a long time. He didn't know that he had gotten so attached to that kid after such a long time, but he couldn't help but ask him. Even though he was the one who sold him off, he was still worried. He felt like a hypocrite, but in the end, he had to prioritize himself over a random child he picked off of the side of the road.
”The kid? I don't know,” Yin Mei answered honestly. ”Would you like me to check on him or something? He won't be bullied by the other kids. They've all experienced the same things as he's had, after all.”
Andrei shook his head. He guessed she wouldn't know, after all, it had only been a little more than a day since he had been dropped off.
”Don't worry, kids that survive for this long will be tougher than you think. They're smart, adaptable, and talented. Though it may take him some time to warm up to the others, he won't experience any losses going up against them.” Yin Mei said to comfort the man.
At those words, they stopped talking for the rest of the ride.
The reason why Yin Mei was so nice to Andrei was due to the fact that he would be pretty famous in the future. Well, maybe infamous was a better word. He was someone like the future Qin Shuang that hated humans. He did a lot of actions that jeopardized humanity, such as raiding cities and baiting zombie hordes over to human bases.
He would often be called the ”One-eyed Scourge”. Looking at him now, he still had two eyes and didn't seem too much like the type of guy who had it in for the rest of humanity. Clearly something had happened that caused him to seem hell bent on destroying all other humans...
Well, Yin Mei wouldn't mind bringing him over to their side. His ability was actually the highly coveted ”copy” ability, and he had quite some capabilities to evade capture for so long and wreck havoc like that. Plus, for being so old, his ability was really rare and powerful, depending on how it was used. It was only that copy abilities like his tended to have a lot of activation restrictions.
The drive was uneventful, and they soon arrived on the outskirts of B City. The refugee camp was practically like its own bustling city, as more and more people had gathered, while less and less people were being let in. In fact, at this point in time, barely anyone was allowed in unless they were already a citizen or had a special city pass.
Yin Mei went to the back of the car to grab some things, and took out a knife sheathed to her thigh, sawing off her long and beautiful black hair so that it only reached just above her shoulders, the edges slightly rough and jagged. She wrapped a dirty scarf around her neck and put on a pair of goggles to hide her eyes, while slinging a sniper rifle across her back. She actually looked kind of similar to Andrei in the way she was dressed, matching up nicely in an apocalyptic war veteran kind of style.
