Chapter 875: They... are utterly dead! So this is the surprise!

~8 min read 1,411 words

"How could you appear here?"

"This isn't a place you should come to!"

"Damn Zombie, you actually play this kind of joke on me!" Su Yang, surprised, showed a cold expression.

The one who arrived is no one else.

It is Lu Zhiwei!

To be precise, it's a person who looks exactly like Lu Zhiwei!

The real Lu Zhiwei has already been buried by Su Yang.

What appears now can only be a Zombie!

A Zombie similar to Liu Pangzi!

"Swoosh—"

Su Yang immediately rushed out, grabbed a Shovel and slammed it hard into its Brain.

Time Slowdown!

Lu Zhiwei's eyelids twitched rapidly, and without hesitation released Innate Talent.

Su Yang's body instantly froze.

A twisted expression of anger was clearly visible.

"No, what are you going crazy about? What Zombie?" Lu Zhiwei was instantly stunned.

She reached out, lifted Su Yang's helmet, and touched his Forehead.

Then she closed the helmet again.

"No fever, so why are you spouting nonsense?" Lu Zhiwei's face was full of doubt.

"You... give... me... go..."

Su Yang hadn't finished speaking, and Lu Zhiwei proactively muted him.

"Enough, stop the clamor; all day long it's either killing this or that."

"KPI hasn't been completed yet, and during this period you really are something, not a single item was taken onto the ship."

"I wasted my effort bringing these heavy items back," Lu Zhiwei ranted continuously like a machine gun.

She threw all the cargo she was holding in her arms onto the ground.

Then she dug into two bulging pouches.

A large pile of small but valuable items fell out.

Lu Zhiwei, with a deeply bitter expression, forcefully poked Su Yang's Shoulder,

"My Waist is about to break from fatigue, and you're still digging this pit, you're just full of bravado!"

"What's there not to do, running outside for leisure."

"Ji Huai, have you dealt with it?"

"Su Qi, that old woman, where did she run to cause trouble again?"

"The main problem is still you, your heart is too big; if you don't finish the KPI today, I won't spare you!"

Saying that, she glanced into the pit.

Her complexion instantly turned displeased.

"I want to see what you're scheming."

She took the Shovel from Su Yang's hand and began to dig down.

Compared with Su Yang's gentle manner.

She appeared much more rough.

She swung the Shovel broadly left and right, and after a short while saw a Silhouette at the bottom.

"I wondered why you were so diligent; turns out you hid a Treasure!" Lu Zhiwei suddenly realized.

She bent down and swept away a thin layer of snow.

When she saw the true form, she let out a light "Eh".

Below was neither Treasure nor cargo.

But a person!

A Dead Person!

"How did it get beaten into this dead shape? This is too ugly," Lu Zhiwei clicked her tongue, somewhat unable to accept.

She had no interest in Dead Persons at all.

Just as she, with a sullen face, covered it with snow.

She suddenly froze.

For no other reason, she caught sight of two sharp tiger Teeth slightly open in the corpse's Mouth.

It turned its head stiffly and fixed its gaze.

"Boom!"

Lu Zhiwei, as if struck by lightning, widened her beautiful Pupil.

The shattered visage was pieced together in the Brain, forming a human face.

"Is this me?!"

Lu Zhiwei's Pupil suddenly contracted.

She immediately understood.

She understood why Su Yang's reaction was so strong.

She also understood why he would show murderous intent.

Because from his perspective…

The real Lu Zhiwei is already dead!

With great surprise and doubt, Lu Zhiwei got back on the ground.

She looked at the sluggish Su Yang and patted his Shoulder,

"Listen, I know it's hard for you to believe."

"But I'm the real one; the one inside is a Zombie!"

"I may not know what happened between you all."

"Yet you actually buried the Zombie!"

"Hey, open your eyes wide and look carefully, I'm the real one!"

Lu Zhiwei turned Su Yang's face around, big eyes glaring at his small eyes.

While they stared at each other, Lu Zhiwei suddenly felt a bit funny, and burst into a snort Laugh.

"You actually gave the Zombie a burial!"

When she snapped a Finger, Su Yang instantly returned to his original form.

Even though Lu Zhiwei repeatedly warned him, he remained wary.

Just as he was about to use his Innate Talent to verify the True Body.

He suddenly detected a drifting gray aura on Lu Zhiwei.

"Dead aura?" Su Yang was all too familiar with this.

He had experienced one not long ago.

Now, seeing Lu Zhiwei laughing so hard her Waist couldn't stay straight, Su Yang's complexion changed.

"Could it be... the two I met earlier were both Zombies?"

He clearly remembered that when he first encountered a Replica, Lu Zhiwei happened to appear again.

At that time he didn't think much, just hastened to facilitate cooperation.

Later the Zombie was killed by Yue Zhao.

After reaching the outside, Lu Zhiwei appeared again.

He had always thought that one was the True Body.

After all...

There had never been a precedent of two Replicas.

This is consensus!

Now, however, he has seen a third!

Is this a Zombie turned into a human...

Or a human turned into a Zombie and then back into a human?

Holding doubt, Su Yang asked uncertainly, "Are you really yourself?"

"Obvious, how could it be fake?" Lu Zhiwei folded away the joking expression.

The best way to discern whether she is a Zombie is to ask about things she never recalled in the Death Game.

After all, Zombies can only inherit memories from this period.

So Su Yang immediately asked, "Which subject was the Monday early reading in the first semester of second year of high school?"

Lu Zhiwei answered without hesitation, "Language!"

"What subject is the second period on Monday morning?"

Lu Zhiwei rolled her eyes irritably, "Biology."

"What Rankings did I get in the first mock exam of the second semester of senior year?"

This time Lu Zhiwei didn't answer immediately, but showed a thoughtful expression.

A look of urgency surfaced in Su Yang's eyes.

How much he hoped the other could answer.

These questions were carefully selected by him in a short time.

Lu Zhiwei herself is unlikely to think about such matters in the next few days.

"I don't recall the exact Rankings, I only remember you were one place higher than me, and at that time you were showing off in front of me," Lu Zhiwei said.

Su Yang let out a long sigh upon hearing that, a strange Laugh appearing on his face.

It seemed as if a weight was lifted, yet also as if he was relieved.

There was also a measure of reassurance.

"Ask whatever else you want," Lu Zhiwei said.

"No need, I think I already know the answer," Su Yang's Laugh restrained, he said slowly:

"The purpose of a Zombie's birth is to eliminate the True Body."

"I'm not Lu Zhiwei; even if you're a fake, there's no reason to kill me."

"Actually there's another way to verify..."

"As long as the game achieves Clearance, the moment you step out of the Portal—"

"Whether it's a Zombie will naturally be revealed."

Lu Zhiwei nodded in agreement, but upon reconsideration felt irritated,

"Then why were you so fierce just now?"

"You want to kill me just because you have this Shovel."

"Someone who didn't know would think I'm your enemy!"

Su Yang, seeing her with a fierce look, suddenly found her very cute.

"I'm angry, and it's not because I met a Zombie."

"It's that the damn Zombie actually dared to deceive my feelings at this moment."

When those words were spoken, Lu Zhiwei was instantly stunned.

She gazed at the pair of deep eyes before her, and a part of her heart seemed struck.

Somewhat aching, and also some...

Dazed.

Su Yang snapped back to his senses, looked at the pile of goods on the ground, and voluntarily hugged them to his chest.

"Let's go, it's time to return!"

Lu Zhiwei blinked, "What about them?"

"Which them?" Su Yang asked.

"Ji Huai and Su Qi, of course."

"Them..."

Su Yang said slowly, "Dead to the core."

"Huh?" Lu Zhiwei was shocked.

Su Yang looked up toward the Building Body, and a strange hue flashed in his eyes,

"So..."

"This is the surprise you mentioned!"
