Chapter 297: Concern
After some cuddling, Jiao Lizhi brought her fiancé into her space to take a shower and change clothes. The two of them also went to check on Fu Guai’s situation.
Since they couldn’t find him in the house, she used her consciousness to search for him. After a while, she finally saw him lying on the grassland.
This time, the small mutated plant didn’t attack him. Instead, it swayed beside his right ear as if telling him a story. As for Fu Guai, he had his eyes closed, but a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, she would have thought he was a corpse.
After watching him for a while, she said, "Brother Yan, your friend seems different from before. I can’t see any signs of the zombie mutation on his body anymore. But he doesn’t seem like a normal human either. He doesn’t breathe as often as we do."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan thought for a moment before saying, "It might be due to changes in his DNA and body structure. Unless we run some tests, we won’t know exactly what happened."
Although Jiao Lizhi was curious about Fu Guai’s situation, she knew they couldn’t bring him out of the space just yet. Unless they were sure he was harmless, they wouldn’t dare risk it.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Brother Yan, do you think your friend will die without eating? From what I know, zombies lose their power if they don’t consume human flesh or crystal cores for a long time."
As someone who had once lived as a zombie, Jin Xuyan knew how painful it was to resist the urge to devour human flesh and organs.
Even when he had lost his humanity, he still refused to prey on humans, loathing the monster he had become—the kind that had taken his beloved away. He survived by killing zombies and consuming their crystal cores. In the end, he died after he ran out of energy.
