Chapter 270 Will Survival Be Difficult in the Apocalypse? (31)
"Hey! Whose little bitter gourd is this? What's wrong now?"
As Yi Yi said this, she reached out and cupped Shen Shaoming's face in her hands.
He forced a smile onto his face.
Shen Shaoming was instantly amused by Yi Yi.
It's pointless to overthink it anyway.
This gave Shen Shaoming an opportunity to hug Yi Yi's waist and start acting coquettishly.
Yi Yi then patted his head, following his happy gesture.
After that, there were no plot points that particularly required their involvement.
Therefore, Yi Yi did not assign any more tasks to Shen Shaoming.
Days passed by one by one.
These days, Shen Shaoming has discovered something: Yi Yi seems to be a bit lazy.
What she usually does most often is to stay in bed, eat crystal cores, and use her special ability to observe Mu Mianmian.
I will absolutely not move if I can avoid it.
Although it's unclear why she cares so much about Mu Mianmian.
But I'm a little jealous...
Okay, very much so.
However, it's also great that Yi Yi, who treats Mu Mianmian like a play, wants to kiss and hug her as much as she wants.
I wasn't so jealous anymore.
A secret sense of gratitude even arose within me.
If Yi Yi gives you any further instructions to help Shen Shaoming and Mu Mianmian get together...
I will definitely do my best.
Soon, Yi Yi told him, "Yes, brother, yes."
Two days ago, Yi Yi found some time to awaken Shen Shaoming's water-based superpower.
He then embarked on his next job at the shopping mall.
This task was not difficult, and he didn't even need to show his face.
It's essentially a guard job.
It was an operation to protect Mu Mianmian, who had been forcibly given an independent mission.
Yi Yi originally planned to go by herself.
Later, Shen Shaoming said he would do it.
Yi Yi couldn't dissuade him, so she went with him.
Anyway, I can keep track of what's going on over there at any time.
You can contact Shen Shaoming anytime if you need anything.
Shen Shaoming's mission this time is simple: ensure that Mu Mianmian does not die during the mission, but she needs to be injured during the mission.
It can't be too serious, but it has to look scary.
As for the purpose!
This can be seen as a shift in the dynamics, moving Feng Linhan from primarily behind-the-scenes work to a more influential front-stage role.
At the very least, we must strive to ensure that Mu Mianmian is no longer forced to take on random solo missions.
Shen Shaoming completed this task very well.
Although he had recovered after being injured during the mission because of Mu Mianmian's naivety.
They concealed their wounds and returned home looking clean and tidy.
They secretly cornered the person at the base entrance and beat them up.
If we exclude such brutal methods...
The task was completed very well.
Even so...
After Shen Shaoming returned to the mall and boasted to him about his achievements.
Yi Yi still praised her child highly.
Of course, after praising him, I still gave him a lecture on how he handled the situation.
Shen Shaoming jokingly referred to this behavior as "mixing up the stick and the date."
Yi Yi doesn't care about such things.
He simply and peacefully raised his own zombies.
Yi Yi planned to teach Shen Shaoming a lot of supernatural abilities, after all, it's always good to have more skills.
In case he wants to escape his fate of death in the future, he will have a way out.
Judging from his recent enthusiasm in helping me with things.
He seemed to have absolutely no intention of going against his own plans.
Really...
Is it okay for me to do anything as long as I'm by his side?
Yi Yi looked at Shen Shaoming, who had gone to the side to practice his ice superpower, and didn't know what to think.
But this time, Ai is acting strangely.
He always seemed to be at odds with himself.
Even the worn-out collars that they refuse to take off.
I'm a little confused about what he's thinking.
Specifically, it's unclear what he seemed to be wary of.
I have tried to talk to him about this issue.
However, he either gave a perfunctory answer or avoided the topic altogether.
This further convinced Yi Yi that he must be dissatisfied with the current situation.
At the very least, you have something on your mind!
Is he still unhappy about becoming a zombie?
Now that I'm a zombie myself, it's honestly hard to be happy.
Even though he has now recovered most of the five human senses.
However, he was slow to react, recovered very slowly, and even developed an appetite for flesh and blood.
These things were quite difficult for me to accept at the time.
Not to mention Shen Shaoming, who is still in this state.
It must have been very painful to think about.
Thinking this way, Yi Yi felt even more sorry for Shen Shaoming.
They also arranged for him to be upgraded.
Because in my own plan, promoting him five levels would have to be done relatively late in the process.
After all, he was directly upgraded from level four to super level five.
Especially when upgrading from level four to level five, the period of slumber is quite significant.
Even more so, once he reaches level five...
It will definitely be recorded by humans.
In other words, when both of them are at level five, one of them definitely needs to hide.
His plan was to hide away when he became the zombie king.
Before that, I still need to complete the event involving the Mental Zombie King in the shop.
I expected the timeline to be the same as in the original story.
It was after Feng Linhan and Mu Mianmian came to the mall again that they arranged for Shen Shaoming to upgrade.
If something happens to me, he can lend a hand while he's awake.
I'm also worried that his current state is indeed causing him some unpleasant emotions.
So after asking for his opinion, they finally decided to follow Yi Yi's original plan.
However, after hearing Yi Yi's thoughts and plans, Shen Shaoming revealed an indescribable expression.
This made Yi Yi even more concerned.
Why does he suddenly become like a wilted little bitter gourd when he's around me?!
Of course, it wasn't that easy for Yi Yi to come up with.
Shen Shaoming, who was sensitive enough to notice the existence of "Ai Yi".
He thought Yi Yi had used him as a substitute.
The better Yi treated him, the more jealous he became.
The more jealous he was, the more...
distortion.
Such thoughts are utterly shameful and cannot be exposed.
Shen Shaoming has felt this way from the beginning until now—
It's probably a side effect of turning into a zombie, or a side effect of psychic abilities.
This caused Yi Yi to forget someone she once deeply loved, yet she still remembered the feeling of loving him.
After all, his memories of his human past and his initial time as a zombie are somewhat hazy now.
This feeling of love drove Yi Yi to search everywhere for her former lover.
Until I met myself.
Perhaps he and her lover had some similarities.
This convinced Yi Yi that he was the lover she was looking for.
And so he simply accepted the mistake.
Therefore, the more satisfied one is, the emptier one feels; the sweeter one is, the more bitter one feels...
Even when faced with such heart-wrenching emotions, one can only remain silent.
Fearing that revealing anything might awaken Yi Yi's memories.
This disqualified him from even being a stand-in.
That's what I thought.
Before Yi Yi discovered the clues she had revealed and became distressed about them, she actively sought a solution.
That's what Shen Shaoming thought.
After receiving Yi Yi's care, and after sensing that Yi Yi had realized her own emotions as "herself".
Shen Shaoming then realized: Actually, I... just wanted her to discover my existence!
I... actually didn't want to be this stand-in!
He revealed his emotions because of this.
Yi Yi discovered it.
