Chapter 819: You Foolish Human!
It was unclear how much time had passed, but it wasn’t until the sounds from Zone B grew weaker that Xu Shuhan finally let go of Ling Mo.
Before that, Ling Mo had been speaking in a low voice, recounting memories from Ye Lian to Li Yalin. He also mentioned Wang Lin, the F Team, and even many other people he had met and experiences he had gone through over the past year.
He had forgotten the names and faces of some people, but the details of events at that time remained deeply imprinted in his mind. As he unraveled these memories, it seemed as though he was not only speaking to Xu Shuhan but also to himself.
“It’s quite strange… I lived for over twenty years before the Cataclysm, yet my experiences don’t seem to add up to what I’ve gone through this past year. From your tone, you probably feel the same way, right? I think it’s because, in the face of life-and-death situations, we tend to live each day more fully. At least at the end of each day, I can tell myself, ‘I’m still alive’… For most people, achieving just that is enough…” Xu Shuhan suddenly said, looking up at Ling Mo.
She slowly took two steps back and then blinked. The bloody aura in her red eyes diminished significantly, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. “After turning into a Zombie, I didn’t know how to live a meaningful life. I even felt that I suddenly had no purpose. But after listening to you, I realized that Zombies can have a life, too.

“In any case, thank you for letting me live and for giving me direction,” Xu Shuhan’s tone suddenly turned resolute. “I will always remember you. One day, I will make more people see Zombies the way you do. They will understand that Zombies, like humans, have different personalities and methods of doing things. Just wait and see…”
After saying that, Xu Shuhan turned and walked toward the stairs. “So… good night.”
Ling Mo stood still, watching her back for a few moments before suddenly calling out to her, “Wait…”
Xu Shuhan paused for a moment, then sighed softly without turning around. “I’ve already made up my mind, you don’t need to…”
