Shen Youzhi She is like a sharp knife, and the role of the protagonist in the group is no joke.
In the early stage, the names of the other members of the protagonist group may not have been announced to the public, but as long as Southern Base and Shen Youzhi are mentioned, they must be awe-inspiring existences.
On a daily basis, Shen Youzhi is the one who cleans out zombies, searches for supplies, and moves bases. He is always the one who rushes to the front and ends up the cleanest one.
But the longer Lu Zong observed her, the heavier the feeling of dissonance became in his heart.
Shen Youzhi is very energetic when killing zombies, but when she stops, she will fall into a state of exhaustion.
Even if he narrowly escaped death from a pile of zombies, there was no joy in his eyes that he had survived the disaster.
She felt very confused.
It seemed that nothing in front of her, including her companions, the dangerous apocalypse, and even herself, could make her feel any emotion.
Lu Zong's mental ability allows him to keenly detect the subtle fluctuations in other people's emotions, but with Shen Youzhi, he can't feel it.
During a mission break, everyone rarely found a relatively safe high-rise ruin to rest for a short while.
Shen Youzhi was sitting next to the broken concrete beam, unconsciously playing with a piece of gravel in his hand, his eyes drifting to the gray skyline in the distance, and he was in a daze again.
Lu Zong walked to her side and sat down, handing her half a compressed biscuit.
Shen Youzhi took it and said thank you.
Lu Zong finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "You seem to be in a daze a lot. What are you thinking about?"
Shen Youzhi came back to his senses and glanced at him with no expression. "I didn't think about anything, but you, why do you always look at me?"
Lu Zong, who was caught, was not embarrassed. He considered his words and whispered, "I feel you are very lonely."
Shen Youzhi's hand holding the compressed biscuit paused almost imperceptibly.
Lonely?
Isn't it?
More than just loneliness.
It was because she had no nostalgia for the original world that she readily agreed to come to the system to complete the task.
The original owner of her body, an eighteen-year-old girl named Shen Youzhi, was pushed out by her biological parents without hesitation at the terrifying moment when zombies broke into the house in the apocalypse.
Then she watched her parents flee in panic, leaving her to face death alone.
If the system hadn't bound it in time, forcibly protected the body, and activated the power, there would have been no "Shen Youzhi" in the world.
She inherited this identity, and also inherited a cold memory of being abandoned by her loved ones.
In this world, she has no roots, no place of origin, and no real way back.
The system is her guide and the only link to herself.
Completing the mission seems to be the only reason and value for her existence.
But what about outside the mission?
What about when the mission is completed? Where will she go?
Where can she go?
Stay here?
But apart from the tasks here, she has no sense of belonging.
Even the system noticed something was wrong with Shen Youzhi.
The only thing that can interest Shen Youzhi now is the Shen Yunzhi that has replaced her original body.
System: "Your good sisters have already hugged your lap, waiting for you to earn points to support her. She is lying flat on her back."
"Complete the mission well. When the main plot here is clearly explored, when Shen Yunzhi and Xiao Yao get married over there, how about I apply for a cross-world vacation for you and let you attend the wedding and see her with your own eyes?"
Not long after he came here, Shen Youzhi was motivated to do tasks entirely by thinking that he had a good sister back home who needed to be raised.
So I killed zombies and helped my sisters earn points.
The news that Shen Yunzhi and Xiao Yao are together is the most shocking news for Shen Youzhi.
Her enjoyment for a long time came from listening to the gossip from Shen Yunzhi.
The system gave Shen Youzhi a breath of celestial energy, making her work even harder on her tasks.
The progress was so fast that even the system was a little surprised.
It seems that only by keeping yourself so busy that your feet do not touch the floor, and by being so tired that you fall asleep, can you temporarily forget the deep-rooted feeling of wandering and the confusion about the future.
But soon, Shen Youzhi earned all the points from Shen Yunzhi.
She doesn't care about herself, she can do anything, even die.
No matter how dangerous the place is, she will always respond to your request.
Lu Zong At first, I thought that Shen Youzhi just had an independent personality and seemed out of tune with the people around him.
But as time went by, as the team ran into each other many times on the edge of life and death, and the relationship gradually deepened, he discovered that Shen Youzhi's state was far from being lonely.
It was an almost nihilistic calm.
The most dangerous task was assigned to her, and she went on it without even frowning.
When there is a sudden crisis and someone needs to be behind the scenes, she will be the first to step forward.
There wasn't even a tragic feeling about the possibility of death in his eyes, only the plainness of "This task needs someone to do it, I'll just do it".
When sharing loot and food, she always takes the smallest share, and lacks the most basic desire for survival resources.
Even when injured, he remained silent and dealt with it casually.
She is strong and reliable, and is the team's most solid shield and spear.
But she is also like a temperatureless shadow, separated from everyone's emotional connection.
Later, the protagonist group absorbed more and more survivors and established their own base.
Lu Zong was elected leader.
When anyone disobeys Lu Zong, the person in charge of force Shen Youzhi will punch him.
Beat the opponent until he is convinced.
Lu Zong relies on the brain, Shen Youzhi relies on the fists.
Killing indiscriminately.
Lu Zong is responsible for the quack.
The base expanded rapidly, and the population quickly increased to tens of thousands.
Huge survival pressure followed one after another.
The stored supplies are being consumed at an alarming rate, and sitting on empty hands is not an option.
An intelligence collection revealed that there was a large pre-apocalyptic logistics transfer center two hundred kilometers away from the base.
It is very likely that a large amount of various materials, especially food and medicine, are stored there.
But zombie activity in that area is extremely frequent and very dangerous.
After careful consideration, the protagonist group, who was already a senior member of the base, decided to form a team to investigate.
The leader is none other than Shen Youzhi.
The team set up camp and rested at an abandoned gas station about ten kilometers away from the logistics center, preparing to explore closer at dawn the next day.
However, the base sent an urgent message - subsequent intelligence analysis showed that the danger level of the logistics center was seriously underestimated.
There may be zombie groups with a very high degree of evolution and even preliminary organization in and around it.
Lu Zong tells them to give up immediately and return to base.
Give up?
Tens of thousands of people in the base need to eat every day, and the medicine reserves have been exhausted. The injured and sick people cannot get treatment and have to wait to die.
Shen Youzhi glanced at the sleeping teammates around him.
Some of these people have lost all their relatives in the last days, some still have a slim hope of finding their lost family members, and some have just found new partners at the base.
They all have concerns.
And what about her?
Shen Youzhi thought about it and decided to take advantage of the system and secretly go in to investigate.
Her decision brought huge benefits.
The entire large storage area is very well preserved. It has been a year since the zombie outbreak and no one has discovered it.
When the flashlight beam illuminated mountains of food, entire boxes of medicines and medical equipment, even Shen Youzhi was in a daze.
These supplies, which may have been ordinary before the end of the world, are now related to the survival of tens of thousands of people.
However, after Shen Youzhi returned to the base with such good news, Lu Zong was particularly angry.
Within the base.
Lu Zong's face was ashen. Looking at the dejected team members standing in a row below and Shen Youzhi trying to explain, his temples were beating with anger.
"No matter how deep you sleep, a zombie will wake you up if you touch it under your nose. Shen Youzhi A living person went to investigate on his own, and none of you noticed?"
"How do you take care of your teammates?!"
The team members lowered their heads and looked ashamed.
They indeed trust and rely too much on the power of Shen Youzhi.
She has never made any mistakes and can protect her teammates very well.
Shen Youzhi told them to keep vigil, and they slept peacefully.
Shen Youzhi frowned and took a step forward. "It's none of their business, it's my decision. The situation is urgent and the base can't wait..."
Lu Zong glared at her. "It's not your turn to be scolded yet!"
Shen Youzhi:"..."
Shen Youzhi was stunned.
It was the first time I saw the male protagonist Long Aotian getting angry.
Lu Zong Getting angry is inevitable.
After all, a person with superpowers has only optimized a certain ability, but if bitten by a zombie, he will still be infected.
Lu Zong: "Are you Superman? If you are bitten by a zombie, won't you be infected? Have you ever thought about what happens if you can't come back..."
Shen Youzhi interrupted Lu Zong and tried to reason with him, "But I am sure, and there is no need to take them to risk such a dangerous thing. If I die, I will die. Many people in the team are still waiting to go back to their wives and children to heat the kang."
Lu Zong: "Then we have been with you for so long, are we not considered relatives that you can care about?"
Shen Youzhi was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand the point of Lu Zong's anger. "Yes, because you are my relatives and the people I want to protect, so I have to work harder to protect you."
Lu Zong:"..."
Accepted.
You can't beat it, you can't talk it out.
