Chapter 148 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (1)
"Congratulations, host, on completing the second side quest—gaining the favor of a protagonist!"
"Successfully separated from the world!"
Shi Qi opened his eyes, but did not see 007, who was usually waiting by his side: "Dog?" Shi Qi called out tentatively.
After waiting a moment without receiving a response, Shi Qi continued in confusion, this was the first time he had ever called 007's "name" so seriously.
"Coming! Coming!" 007's voice grew louder as it approached. Soon, a white wolf with slightly disheveled fur darted in. He explained somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, host... something came up."
Shi Qi had no intention of arguing with him anyway, so he shook his head and said, "No need to settle the score, let's go straight to the next world."
007 felt a little guilty for not waiting for Shi Qi right away, so he immediately agreed after hearing Shi Qi's words.
----
When he opened his eyes again, Shi Qi, who was lying on the ground, was still a little dazed.
What the hell is this? In the middle of nowhere?
Shi Qi sat up and saw his long white hair hanging down his chest. He didn't pay much attention to it. Then he looked around and saw that the area was overgrown with weeds and trees. There was no trace of human habitation in sight. It was a place with no village in front and no shop behind.
However, Shiqi has a good mental fortitude. Although the birth point is a bit strange, there should still be a way to get out.
"007, send me the plot and memories." It's quite convenient now that there are basically no humans around.
"Huh? Host, why don't you call me Doggy anymore?" Shi Qi's sudden change of address made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Upon hearing this, Shi Qi glanced at him sideways and asked, "What, you prefer the nickname 'dog'?"
Seeing that Shi Qi was showing signs of changing his mind, 007 immediately shook his little head frantically: "I don't like it! I don't like it! Host, I'll transfer the plot and the original owner's memories to you right away!"
After receiving the message, Shi Qi realized why he had been abandoned alone in the wilderness; it turned out he wasn't human at all.
The world he currently inhabits has become an apocalypse due to a zombie virus outbreak. The story of this world mainly revolves around the protagonist, Si Yan, who awakens the power of natural elements, levels up by fighting monsters, and eventually becomes the leader of humanity, joining hands with the protagonist, Jiang Weilan, to save the world.
The original form of the zombie is the biggest obstacle on the protagonist's path to saving humanity—the Zombie King. Furthermore, the outbreak of the zombie virus originated with him. For the protagonist, to save humanity, he must eliminate the Zombie King and obtain the necessary material for developing a vaccine—his brain.
Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he hadn't been "dumped"; otherwise, that would have been too tragic...
007: "This mission is S-rank. Main mission: help the protagonist develop a vaccine and separate the two protagonists; Side mission: gain the favor of one of the protagonists."
I raised my hand and touched my chest; there was no heartbeat. I touched my skin; it was completely cold. Alright then.
Okay then... "007, I'm asking you, how am I supposed to get close to the protagonist with this body? By taking my brain?"
Startled by Shi Qi's questioning tone, 007 stammered, his voice barely audible, "This...isn't something I...can decide...and besides, I believe that with the host's intelligence, you can definitely solve this 'small problem'..."
Shi Qi let out a cold laugh, a laugh that didn't seem directed at 007.
He then propped himself up to stand and straightened his rather thin clothes: "Where is the plot at now?"
007: "At this point in time, the male protagonist Si Yan's superpower has just reached level four."
Shi Qi nodded and continued to ask, "So, what's their approximate location now?" At this point, the protagonist's team was already taking shape. However, in the original story, Shi Qi, the zombie king, only met the protagonist at the very end. Before that, they had no interaction whatsoever. Therefore, he now had to take the initiative to find them.
007: "Because it's about to get dark, the protagonist and his companions are currently hiding in an abandoned building in City B. But... host, you are currently in City C, which is about 300 kilometers away from them."
Shi Qi was silent for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "Let's go." It would also be a good opportunity for him to test the abilities of the Zombie King's body.
007's eyes widened: "You...leave?!"
Shi Qi ignored him and simply asked, "Tell me the direction, and don't worry about anything else."
Upon hearing this, 007 obediently stated the direction to go. As soon as 007 finished speaking, Shi Qi mustered his strength, pushed off the ground in that direction, and jumped out, landing on a tree far away. Then he quickly darted through the bushes.
The jump was so fast and far that 007 felt he might not be able to keep up if he didn't react in time.
In just over an hour, Shi Qi arrived at City B, where the protagonist was located. And after stopping, he didn't even catch his breath.
Upon arriving in City B, Shi Qi didn't rush to find the main characters. Instead, he went to the shopping mall that the main characters would definitely pass through the next day, intending to pick out an outfit suitable for the current season. After all, the original owner of this body couldn't feel the cold, and the clothes she was wearing didn't look like what a normal person would wear.
As soon as Shi Qi stepped into the mall, he bumped into a group of zombies who were preparing to leave the mall because night had fallen.
These mindless zombies stared blankly at Shi Qi as he entered, their eyes only showing the whites. Just as Shi Qi frowned at their appearance, the zombies suddenly screamed and shrank back, hiding as much as possible in the corners of the mall.
Looking at the zombie figures filling the corner, Shi Qi's lips twitched, then he calmly walked in again.
Well, becoming the Zombie King isn't necessarily a bad thing; at least he's become a superhero that zombies avoid, right...?
Although the city had lost power, the zombies' night vision was sufficient for Shi Qi to see clearly in the dark. He quickly changed into suitable clothes and then lay down on a massage chair.
007: "Host, aren't we going to find the protagonist and the others now?"
Shi Qi answered with his eyes closed, "No normal person would go out on a night when zombies are rampant, so we'll just wait here for them." He had even prepared his surrender pledge.

"Boss, it seems like there are fewer zombies outside." The man, who was looking out the window through binoculars, turned his head slightly and said to the person behind him.
