Chapter 1641

~7 min read 1,237 words

Su Xuan does not answer Kuang Tianyou's question directly, but asks instead: "In your opinion, why do zombies need to drink blood?"

This question, Kuang Tianyou had never pondered before.

Or rather, even if he had thought about it, he didn't understand the reason.

After all, he didn't come from any exorcist family; before becoming a zombie, he was just an ordinary person.

And after becoming a zombie, Ma Danna and the others were extremely wary of him, only repeatedly warning him not to drink human blood, but they never told him the specific reason.

Su Xuan looks at the bewildered Kuang Tianyou and explains: "Humans have the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. Excluding the ethereal spirit which corresponds to the soul, essence and energy both exist in the blood; the so-called primordial essence and blood energy are just that."

"Zombies drink blood not because they like the taste of fresh blood, but because fresh blood contains essence and energy."

"Over these years, you have also tried stealing expired blood bags from hospitals as food, but this kind of food did not bring you satisfaction or fill your stomach; this is because once fresh blood leaves the human body, the essence and energy within it have already dissipated."

"Not to mention expired blood bags."

Kuang Tianyou listens to Su Xuan's explanation, learning the reason for the first time, and then hears Su Xuan say: "Of course, if one can find a way to draw enough essence and energy from other places, zombies actually don't need to drink blood."

Hearing this, Kuang Tianyou's body trembles. "Is this really possible?"

Over these years, facing the attraction of fresh blood, he could only force himself to endure it.

As long as he endured that period, it would be fine.

He had always thought so.

It was also because he hadn't drunk fresh blood that he always felt weak and powerless.

If he had had enough strength back then, he might have been able to arrive at that island earlier, and his grandson would not have died.

"How is it impossible?"

Su Xuan smiles: "Haven't you already witnessed it?"

Kuang Tianyou understands Su Xuan's words and immediately thinks of the red crystal.

"That thing is..."

Su Xuan answers: "It is blood essence!"

"Normally, after human blood leaves the body, the essence and energy within it gradually dissipate, eventually becoming waste blood. But my company, through research, finally found a way to prevent the essence and energy from dissipating from blood that has left the human body; on the contrary, they used methods to turn it into blood-colored crystals."

"A small piece of red crystal like this is enough for a zombie of your level for a month."

"In other words, with this thing, zombies in the future will no longer need to drink human blood."

"Of course, this kind of thing is made from fresh blood after all, and not all blood donation is free. We carry out paid blood donation activities, which require spending quite a bit of money, so if you want this thing, you need to spend money to buy it."

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Kuang Tianyou is stunned again.

He didn't expect that the red crystal was actually a commodity.

However, if this thing could really replace fresh blood, and with it, one wouldn't need to drink human blood, it would indeed be a good thing.

He has been mixing in the world for so many years and considers himself to have some savings.

After his thoughts flicker, Kuang Tianyou asks Su Xuan again: "Then, where can I buy this thing?"

"Snap!" Su Xuan snaps his fingers. "You've asked the right person."

"This is a new product researched by the Heavenly Dao Group. Normally, it is not sold to the public; after all, the Heavenly Dao Group is a serious group. However, since you met me, I can give you a secret purchasing channel. You can get a 20% discount if you mention my name. At the same time, if you have other zombie friends, you are also welcome to introduce them to come and buy this item."

After hearing Su Xuan's words, Kuang Tianyou finally knows the origin of this thing.

It actually came from the Heavenly Dao Group.

He naturally knows the Heavenly Dao Group; it is a rather powerful consortium that has risen in the last decade or so and possesses extremely strong influence in the Asia-Pacific region. The main business of this group is also in medicine and biology.

He didn't expect that they would secretly research this kind of thing.

What Kuang Tianyou didn't expect even more was that this person before him was actually related to the Heavenly Dao Group.

After knowing the origin of the red crystal, Kuang Tianyou asks Su Xuan again: "You came to Jiajia Building and found me directly just to promote this thing to me?"

Specifically looking for zombies to promote products is quite interesting.

Su Xuan shakes his head: "Not exactly."

0 ········Begging for flowers···· ····

"The reason I gave this thing to you is just because I saw you and the little friend beside you looking weak and listless all day, and I felt some sympathy for you. The reason I found you is because of... fate."

"Fate?" Kuang Tianyou doesn't believe Su Xuan's rhetoric; he doesn't believe in fate.

"Yes, whether you believe it or not, the curtain has already been raised, and you are one of the crucial characters."

"You don't think that you replacing your grandson and coming here is a coincidence, do you?"

Hearing this, Kuang Tianyou stands up abruptly, and a terrifying aura is released from his body; in an instant, a gale sweeps up, rushing toward Su Xuan.

Su Xuan, however, looks indifferent; his expression is as calm as ever.

0

"Still the same question, what exactly do you know?" Kuang Tianyou's voice is somewhat cold.

He only told Kuang Fusheng about his grandson, the real Kuang Tianyou, being dead, but he didn't expect that the person before him would know.

"In this world, there are very few things I don't know; what I should know, I know." Su Xuan plays the mystic, saying something inexplicable. "Do you want to know who killed your grandson?"

Another sentence makes the aura Kuang Tianyou was radiating come to an abrupt halt.

"Who is it?"

When he arrived that day, his grandson was already dead, and the murderer had escaped.

Kuang Tianyou really wants to avenge his grandson.

"His name is Kino; besides that, he has another name, called... Xu Fu."

"Xu Fu?" Kuang Tianyou is stunned upon hearing this name; he is somewhat familiar with this name, but he is not sure if it is the Xu Fu in his memory.

"As you expected, this Xu Fu is indeed that famous alchemist from the Qin Dynasty." Su Xuan gives Kuang Tianyou a definitive answer. "Over two thousand years ago, Xu Fu sought the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor of Qin. After failing to find the medicine, he had a crooked idea, so he found the Zombie King Jiang Chen and begged the Zombie King Jiang Chen for three days and three nights, and eventually, Jiang Chen bit him, and he turned into a zombie."

"He is also the first second-generation zombie!"

Another name with extraordinary significance to Kuang Tianyou is uttered, and Kuang Tianyou's body trembles.
