A Mysterious Gathering

When Fang Zheng and Little Black brought the now-conscious Rea back to the base, everyone was extremely curious about her. Especially after hearing that this zombie girl did not eat meat but was vegetarian instead, they all wore... rather hard-to-accept expressions.

"I never thought I'd actually see a zombie that eats leaves..."

Chitō Kei looked at Rea, who was sitting obediently beside them and chewing on leaves, with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say for a moment. Little Black grinned and patted her shoulder.

"No matter what, that's a good thing, isn't it?"

"But is it really okay for her to eat nothing but leaves?"

"Of course, it's not entirely okay."

Hearing Chitō Kei's question, Fang Zheng, who was examining Rea, looked up and answered.

"I did a brief study and analysis just now. I found that hydrangea flowers and leaves mainly stimulate Miss Rea's nerves, activating her brain and allowing her to remain conscious. But aside from that, she still needs to obtain nutrients through food. Strictly speaking... Miss Rea is currently in a state between life and death. If she consumes food, she will move closer to being 'alive,' but if she does not receive enough food and hydrangea leaves, she will move closer to being 'dead'... Eventually, the cells in her body will enter a dormant state due to a lack of nutrients. But as long as she is given enough nourishment, she will 'revive' again."

"Hahaha, why does that make her sound like a slug? Sprinkle salt on it and it dies, but give it some water and it comes back to life? Is that it, big brother?"

"That's more or less what it means, but..."

At that, Fang Zheng glanced at Rea's pale face.

"You'd better not say that in front of her."
