"Ding, please host enter the space quickly!"
"Ding, please host enter the space quickly!"
If she didn't enter the space to repair soon, she would truly turn into a zombie.
Xu Qian's face turned pale. She gently touched his bloodless, handsome face with her fingertips.
"It's okay, don't blame yourself. I... really like you."
"Really like you."
Song Xiaoping instantly broke down. He wanted to cry but couldn't shed a single tear.
His heart felt like a gaping hole, and he couldn't breathe at all.
He finally understood what romantic love was.
"Ding, Xiao Ping's favorability has increased by 10, total favorability is 90. Congratulations, host, you have completed the third mission objective."
Before the system could finish its reminder, Xu Qian vanished, entering the space.
The weight in his hands disappeared, and Song Xiaoping froze, roaring, "Xu Qian!! Xu Qian!!"
In the Bright Base, Tong Wu, who was far away, opened his eyes. The prayer beads in his hand fell to the ground,
making a "snap" sound.
A deeply sorrowful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"In the end, it couldn't be avoided."
Xu Qian floated in the space like a wisp of a wandering soul, just like the first time she died and was reborn.
Her naked body was soaking in the mermaid pool, with prayer beads and amulets floating on the water.
Xu Qian sighed. The calamity Master Tong Wu had spoken of was probably this.
Song Xiaoping's conquest mission was complete, a mixture of joy and sorrow.
The price was too high.
"System, how does my body need to be repaired?"
"Ding, the system can help the host clear half of the zombie virus, but your essence is still that of a zombie."
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Ding, after the repair is complete, your body will be in a half-zombie, half-human state. You will possess zombie instincts, human body temperature or zombie body temperature, and human instincts."
Xu Qian: ...
Is this good or bad?
Is it like Wang Xingde, with a crystal core in his head and another in his chest?
"Ding, yes, there are pros and cons. The host can consider it herself."
"Ding, during the repair period, the system will undergo an upgrade. The upgrade time is approximately one month."
It seemed like a major upgrade.
Xu Qian raised her hand and pressed her brow, finding no sensation.
Fine, she had forgotten she had turned into a spirit.
"System, how long will the repair take?"
Hopefully, it wouldn't take a year like last time.
That would be too long. It was already over three years into the apocalypse; another year would make it four years, and there were still three men.
There wasn't enough time.
"Ding, host, it will be about a month."
Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. A month was acceptable.
Suddenly, a mermaid emerged from upstream in the pool. She looked at her naked body by the shore with confusion.
The mermaid was even more beautiful than the first time Xu Qian had seen her. Her brown hair was soft, her skin was fairer, her features were deep-set, and her scales shimmered as her tail curled upwards.
She was incredibly beautiful.
Did this pool also have a beautifying effect?
"What's your name?"
The mermaid looked up and saw a semi-transparent figure floating in the air.
Her eyes widened in fright, and she quickly dived back into the water.
Help! Why did she see a ghost right after waking up?
Xu Qian: ...
Soon, she swam up again, her eyes fixed on Xu Qian.
"You are, Xu Qian?"
Xu Qian nodded helplessly.
The mermaid frowned and asked, "Why have you become like this?"
"I've become a zombie and need repair."
The mermaid nodded thoughtfully, asking no further questions.
Xu Qian: "What's your name?"
The mermaid smiled, "My name is Fia. Thank you, Xu Qian, thank you for saving me."
Xu Qian's eyebrows softened. Finally, there was something to bring her joy.
