Chapter 326: Beware of Someone Who Looks Exactly Like Me

Having been a forensic doctor for most of her life, Liu Jing’s hands itched once again when she pressed Bai Zhengxuan’s shoulder.

She wanted to dissect a zombie.

She wanted to dissect Bai Zhengxuan, her own grandson-in-law, and the thought made her excited.

Maybe she could sew a pattern her granddaughter likes on his wound.

"Grandma, I think that’s a good idea."

Bai Zhengxuan’s face twitched slightly, silently moving Liu Jing’s hand away from his shoulder.

It didn’t hurt anyway, so just let it stay broken!

"Don’t worry about bothering me, I can operate on you right now!"

Liu Jing looked at Bai Zhengxuan’s shoulder eagerly, already planning where to start the dissection in her mind.

"Mom, you definitely can’t handle it alone, I’ll help."

Wang Yiyun somehow produced a makeup bag, her eyes on Bai Zhengxuan’s back.

Her gaze made Bai Zhengxuan’s scalp tingle.

"Uh, I think I’m too ugly, why don’t you check on Zhang Yiming instead?"

Bai Zhengxuan forced a smile, nudging Liu Jing towards Zhang Yiming.

Liu Jing and Zhang Yiming locked eyes.

Liu Jing’s gaze instantly sparkled, looking like she was ready to start dissecting at any moment.

Zhang Yiming awkwardly turned his head, silently standing up.

"Well, I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first."

Zhang Yiming caught sight of Wang Yiyun holding a bright pink lipstick, stumbling slightly but quickly walking away without waiting for a response from the Bai Family.

His walk turned into a quick trot.

It was too scary.

"Why did he run?"

Wang Yiyun held the makeup bag, looking at Zhang Yiming’s retreating figure with some confusion.

She just wanted to see if Zhang Yiming would suit that bright pink!

Why did he run away?

What a pity, she could have made Zhang Yiming look even prettier.

"I don’t know, maybe he went to find his zombie girlfriend."

Bai Zhengxuan blinked innocently, already holding a pile of crystal cores before Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun could look his way.

The crystal cores turned into pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Don’t bother me, I’m absorbing crystal cores.

Seeing the diligent Bai Zhengxuan, Liu Jing and Wang Yiyun didn’t want to disturb him anymore.

Turning into a zombie was already bad enough, better let him quickly absorb the crystal cores!

"Brother Leng, why do you have so many crystal cores?"

Bai Yifan was shocked to see the pile of crystal cores in Bai Zhengxuan’s arms.

These were all high-rank crystal cores, and several of Fifth and Sixth Rank could be seen at a glance.

There were indeed many crystal cores in his sister’s space, but nowhere near this wealth.

"Picked them up," Bai Zhengxuan replied expressionlessly, continuing to absorb the crystal cores.

"Where did you pick them up? I want to go pick some too!" Bai Yifan immediately said.

As the poorest member of the family, Bai Yifan didn’t want to miss any chance of getting rich overnight.

"At Zhang Yiming’s bedside," Bai Zhengxuan answered calmly.

Bai Yifan: ...

Bai Xiqin: ...

The night was deep and quiet.

It was time to sleep.

After being excited for a long time, Bai Xiqin and the others went to their dreams.

Bai Zhengxuan didn’t sleep; he was still a zombie, he could close his eyes but couldn’t fall asleep.

With nothing else to do, Bai Zhengxuan continued absorbing a pile of crystal cores.

A strong brainwave suddenly enveloped him.

Bai Zhengxuan frowned.

This was a mode of communication unique to zombies, and in this village, the only one who dared to use brainwaves so recklessly was Zhang Yiming.

’Why haven’t you turned into a human yet?’

Before Zhang Yiming could speak, Bai Zhengxuan transmitted a message using his own brainwaves.

Bai Zhengxuan remembered thinking that the lively wood Zhang Yiming wanted him to eat seemed like it could really turn someone human.

’What’s so great about being human? Better to be a zombie, commanding them at will.’

Zhang Yiming’s brainwaves were very stable, not a ripple in sight.

Bai Zhengxuan paused, not asking anymore.

Only a rival understands another rival the best.

That pretty boy didn’t turn back into a human even after eating Ganmu but was too embarrassed to lose face in front of a rival.

Couldn’t possibly whine about not turning human to a rival, right?

’What do you want from me?’

’The virus antibody only exists in crystal cores.’

’And then?’

’Be wary of someone who looks exactly like me.’

’Why?’

’...’

Zhang Yiming no longer responded, his brainwaves vanished without a trace.

Bai Zhengxuan paused, threw the waste in his hand into the trash bin, and started absorbing the crystal cores again.

――――

In the morning, the sun rose in the east.

The morning sun wasn’t gentle, its scorching rays heated up the entire village.

The Bai Family was already up.

Zhang Yiming’s words made them quite happy, and the first thing they did in the morning was to check Bai Zhengxuan’s face.

To see if any more of the rotten flesh on his face had disappeared.

Sure enough, the next day, Bai Zhengxuan’s face had even less rotten flesh.

In some places, even white skin was showing.

This made Bai Zhengxuan firmly believe he would definitely become human again.

Since he could transform back, Bai Zhengxuan didn’t even step out of the yard; he just stayed inside absorbing crystal cores.

Hoping to quickly transform back to a human and not let others discover the zombie virus antibody in his body.

Bai Zhengxuan staying in, Bai Xiqin stayed in too, occasionally running in front of Bai Zhengxuan to take a look or snap a photo.

To compare Bai Zhengxuan’s before and after changes.

Bai Zhengxuan and the others held crystal cores as usual, absorbing energy.

Having not delved into Zhang Yiming’s zombie virus antibody topic the previous day, everyone knew when the time came, Bai Zhengxuan would surely attract competition from all sides.

Worse than stealing brides in ancient times.

While others were busy absorbing crystal cores, Bai Yifan couldn’t keep still, wanting to take a stroll outside.

He knew leaving the village was too dangerous, so he decided to just wander around inside.

For a sixteen-year-old boy, staying at home without going out was quite stifling.

Bai Xiqin tossed the Water Python onto Bai Yifan, letting it follow along, and no longer concerned herself with him.

Bai Yifan patted his cool wrist and pushed open the door to leave.

The chaos caused by the zombie war in the village had mostly been tidied up by the zombies.

The masked man’s zombies had all disappeared too.

Brother Zhang said they were driven out of the village, left to wander elsewhere.

The roads in the village were deserted, and Bai Yifan didn’t feel too scared walking along them.

Perhaps after spending so much time with zombies, Bai Yifan even found this quiet village quite nice.

At least it was much better than the treacherous scenes outside.

"Roar—"

The sound of a zombie’s roar came from ahead.

Bai Yifan instinctively stopped, a faint yellow glow emanating from his body.

Soon, the zombie appeared in front of Bai Yifan.

Seeing this zombie, Bai Yifan breathed a sigh of relief.

He recognized this one—it was the clean-loving, suit-wearing zombie.

The yellow glow on Bai Yifan’s body instantly dissipated.

"Where have you been?"

Bai Yifan waved to the suit-wearing zombie, smiling.

His tone was as relaxed as if he were greeting a neighbor.

"Roar—"

The suit-wearing zombie grunted twice, raising its rotting hand to show Bai Yifan the dirt-covered shovel it held.
