Chapter 730: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (26)

Chapter 730: Chapter 730: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (26)

A boy of only fifteen or sixteen, yet his height surprisingly reached about 1.78 meters.

If he hadn’t turned into a zombie, he probably would soon surpass this height. Despite his height, he still exuded a boyish charm that reminded you he was still just a kid.

The three zombies looked at Qiann Yan, Pang Ju Yuanyuan looked at Qiann Yan, surprisingly with the same purpose: no picky eaters allowed.

Yuanyuan nudged Qiann Yan’s arm, thinking that for all that the "poop scooper" does well, they are extremely picky eaters.

It’s just a piece of meat, no big deal.

Qiann Yan ate the meat in the bowl, and both the three zombies and Yuanyuan were very satisfied. Ning Lanxin served her some dishes again, this time all lean meat, as if it were some kind of reward.

Qiann Yan slightly raised an eyebrow and ate it without a moment’s hesitation this time.

Ning Lanxin conversed with Ruan Xian and Dou Huai, and afterwards, Ning Lanxin never served Qiann Yan meat with an equal mix of fat and lean again, just the lean kind.

This she didn’t quite understand.

Weren’t they thinking she was picky? Now they’re helping her be picky.

She had never interacted with parents like this as a child and truly couldn’t understand what they were thinking.

"Can you use the crystal core to level up?"

Dou Huai nodded, of course, he could. He picked up a notebook and started writing, showing it to Qiann Yan after a good while.

[Besides biting people and their bloodlust, zombies also have a latent instinct of big fish eating little fish.]

[The zombie virus itself can make zombies evolve over time, but this kind of evolution is for ordinary zombies.]

[I have observed some fast-upgrading zombies; they dig out the crystal cores from the brains of fellow zombies and eat them.]

[Unlike me, they can’t retain the human consciousness they had alive, but they instinctively know eating crystal cores is beneficial. According to my zombie research, areas with a large gathering of zombies all have such existences. When a zombie’s level exceeds others by a lot, the signals they emit are very threatening to lower-level zombies.]

[Zombies are essentially very dumb and have almost no thinking ability, but they are all very strong. I encountered a Level 3 Zombie before, slightly smarter than ordinary ones, yet it still lacked human intelligence and only knew to dig crystal cores from low-level zombies, very aggressive.]

[I level up faster than other zombies for this reason as well. Human superpower users are very strong; I don’t want to completely die off before figuring out a cure for the zombie virus.]

Qiann Yan contemplated this, meaning some zombies level up quickly simply due to this coincidence of discovering that eating the crystal cores of others can make them stronger.

But they still lack human intelligence, so essentially they’re still just zombies.

[The strongest I’ve researched so far is a Level 3 Zombie; I am Level 5.]

When writing this, Dou Huai straightened his back; learning was always his forte.

Being able to research so much in just a few months and using a zombie body at that, he himself felt a bit proud.

Qiann Yan praised, "You’re very impressive."

Dou Huai took the notebook and wrote a few more words.

[You too, being just an elementary student yet more powerful than other adult superpower users, that’s what a prodigy is.]

Qiann Yan: She thought it would be better not to mention the elementary student identity.

She recalled that the term elementary student wasn’t exactly complimentary on the internet, and even though Dou Huai didn’t mean it that way, it sounded weird, making it feel as if he was subtly mocking her.

"How’s your virus research going?"

Dou Huai wrote down a bunch of progress in the notebook, a large heap of words, including some technical jargon.
