Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 161 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (14)

Shi Qi instinctively caught his head, which was about to continue sliding down due to inertia, and when he looked up again, he found that the others had already fallen down at some point.

It's impossible for so many people to fall asleep at the same time, so the mastermind behind it all is obvious.

Immediately afterwards, the culprit emerged from the passageway connecting to the previous room.

Shi Qi didn't stand up, nor did he even move his head off his shoulder. He simply sat calmly on the sofa, his eyes indifferently fixed on the level seven zombie that was constantly approaching him.

Although the level seven zombie was in a superior position, the zombie still felt a chillingly threatening aura emanating from the seated figure's eyes, a threat he had never felt before.

Finally, the level seven zombie stopped some distance away from Shi Qi, looking at him warily: "What exactly is your identity?"

Instead of answering his question directly, Shi Qi countered by asking, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking who someone is?"

This level seven zombie was clearly intelligent. Knowing he had no chance against Shi Qi, he only pondered for a moment before obediently saying, "My name is Han Xingzhi. As you can probably guess, before becoming a zombie, I was a researcher here. Now..."

"According to human classification standards, he is a level seven zombie."

As the one in control in this situation, Shi Qi did not introduce himself so honestly, but said ambiguously, "You don't need to know my name, you just need to know that in some ways... I'm the same as you."

When Shi Qi said those words, Han Xingzhi saw a faint red light appear in his pupils. Although the red light disappeared very quickly, Han Xingzhi was certain that he had seen it clearly.

Both of them were well aware of what it meant for this color to appear on a "human".

As a level seven cultivator, Han Xingzhi couldn't even conceal his red pupils and the sharp fangs he had grown later in life; but the man before him could completely hide these features, and Han Xingzhi's abilities were completely ineffective against him...

This made Han Xingzhi wonder if the zombie who had been standing quietly in his group earlier was actually already above level eight.

Thinking of this, Han Xingzhi's pupils trembled slightly, but that was all; Shi Qi did not see any shock in them.

Unable to grasp Han Xingzhi's true intentions, Shi Qi asked directly, "You put them all to sleep, it couldn't be just to find out my identity, could it?"

Upon hearing this, Han Xingzhi didn't hesitate and nodded decisively: "My ability is mental power. As you gradually approached this place, I already sensed that you were not simple, which is why I used my mental power on you here... I want to know if your mental power is stronger than mine."

"As it turns out, I was right; even your level is a significant difference compared to mine..."

Han Xingzhi paused for a moment, then continued, "After saying all this, I just hope you can do me a favor... This is something only a zombie of a higher level than me could do." For some reason, he dared to ask a zombie he didn't know at all for help.

Shi Qi, not intending to know everything, hastily agreed: "So what kind of help is it?"

Han Xingzhi: "Come with me..."

Shi Qi then lifted Si Yan's head, which was resting on his shoulder, and gently laid it down. As if worried that he was not sleeping comfortably, Shi Qi even took off his coat and placed it under Si Yan's head.

Han Xingzhi, watching him finish everything: "..."

007, who had never seen anyone treat someone so well before, said: "...Host, when did you become so chivalrous? This man didn't receive this treatment from you before!"

Shi Qi selectively ignored 007's words and followed Han Xingzhi into the room that he had previously forbidden others from entering.

Upon entering the room, Shi Qi immediately noticed a bed in the center of the room; only then did he realize that the room was almost entirely filled with medical equipment.

The two approached the bed and saw a woman who appeared to be fast asleep, yet whose face was so pale she almost didn't look alive.

From the moment he entered the room, Han Xingzhi's gaze never left it. His brow furrowed slightly, yet his expression remained gentle as he looked at the woman on the bed: "I want to ask you a favor, to help her wake up..."

"She's my lover, and she used to be a researcher here. We were almost married, but the sudden outbreak of the zombie virus destroyed everything—"

"I've become this monster, neither human nor ghost, and she... she'll never wake up again. I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing works for her..."

Therefore, asking Shi Qi, a more advanced zombie, for help is the only solution he can think of at the moment.

When Shi Qi, the source of his transformation into a monster that was neither human nor ghost, said, "...", there was a feeling of being subtly implied, yet unable to utter a word in defense...

Although he was desperate and tried anything, he did ask the right person.

When Han Xingzhi offered to help, Shi Qi had already asked 007 in his mind: "Is there a way to wake her up?"

007: "Wait a minute, let me check why she's unconscious..."

Within seconds, 007 replied: "She is currently unconscious because she was infected with the zombie virus, but the virus she was infected with was not strong enough to successfully awaken her superpowers; in addition, there are some personal physical factors, so she was not infected into a zombie."

"As for solutions, one is to use a viral vaccine, but the manufacture of a vaccine requires a certain material... as you, host, know..."

Shi Qi did know: "...Let's put this method aside for now, what about the other one?"

007: "Inject your blood into her body and infect her again, because the zombie virus in your body is strong enough to help her awaken her superpowers; however, the amount of blood used must be strictly controlled, otherwise she may die or turn into a zombie due to an excessive amount of virus before she can awaken her superpowers."

Having learned the specific method, Shi Qi decisively spoke up after listening to his explanation: "I can help you with this..."

Upon hearing this, Han Xingzhi abruptly turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on Shi Qi's face with an almost burning intensity.

Before he could say anything, Shi Qi continued, "But before that, you have to answer a few questions for me."
