Chapter 113 : Zombie Empire 27 (1/2)

Shi Sheng left the capital and brought her horde with her back to B City. She had thought she’d be in the capital for longer but hadn’t expected to finish so quickly.

She also hadn’t expected the quest to be more complicated than she first thought, so she decided to work towards the target she had decided on ages ago: Building up a zombie empire.

‘When I take over the world and can seize people for interrogation, would I be afraid of being unable to investigate the truth?’ Shi Sheng’s methods had always been violently simple.

When she reached the area around B City, she found those little bros of hers had just gotten the basic system of their base set. When Shi Sheng showed up in front of them, they were unable to believe their eyes.

‘Boss actually returned so early? Back when Boss left B City (though we didn’t get to see it personally), just imagining it makes us excited! Now that we think about it, zombies aren’t so scary after all.’

There were already people in the base, although they only amounted to barely over a hundred. Compared to other bases, it was a pitiful number. So when Shi Sheng brought her zombie army in, those people didn’t dare to even make a peep, let alone protest.

With the zombie army around as free labour, they managed to build a large-scale base in the span of a few days. The other people slowly turned from shocked to scared to slow acceptance. And so, these hundred or so people became the original—and later on only—human inhabitants of the 《Fight Us!!!》base.

In the distant future, they would rejoice over being able to enter this base since Shi Sheng wouldn’t accept any more humans, only zombies.

Though Qing Yu and gang weren’t sure what their Boss was planning, they simply carried out her orders.

……

While Shi Sheng was constantly building up her base and power by gathering more zombies, over in B City, Qi Mingxue and company weren’t doing so hot.

They had been imprisoned. Song Shi had thought of a way to escape but hadn’t had time to save Qi Mingxue. Or perhaps, it was more accurate to say he didn’t want to save her.

After all, before Song Shi had fallen for Qi Mingxue, he was someone who placed heavy emphasis on relationships.

Qi Mingxue had been locked up because of her so-called ‘healing ability’. However, no matter how much those people forced or cajoled her, she refused to display any ability in front of them.

“She’s still like that?” The Mayor looked at Chang Xin.

Chang Xin nodded. “She’s still not willing to say anything or display any abilities.”

The Mayor frowned deeply as he pondered for a moment before speaking, “Go and find a few sight ability users and bring her to a place without any surveillance cameras.”

Chang Xin’s expression turned worse. The Mayor lifted his head to look at him. “Chang Xin, since you’ve already entered, you can’t get out. Do your work well and your family will not be mistreated.”

“Yes.”

Qi Mingxue was transferred to a room without any surveillance cameras. At first, people would still send her meals but the portions were very small; they weren’t enough to fill her stomach. And the portions only got smaller. In the end, they stopped sending meals at all.

After Qi Mingxue had verified there were no cameras, she took out some food from her space and started ravenously munching down. This was how Qi Mingxue spent the time; after eating and drinking her fill, she would begin to plan a way to escape.

Other than the door, there was no other way out. Even her meals were sent through a flap at the bottom of the door. So if she wanted to leave, she would have to leave through the door.

Qi Mingxue started planning out the steps to escaping but before she had a chance to carry them out, a group of people barged in and injected her with an anaesthetic.

By the time she woke up, she found herself bound to an operating table. People in white coats could be seen walking around her.
