Chapter 629: Is this right?

Bang, the door closed.

"You... Brother Su, who is this, what happened to her?"

Zhong Xiaoshan looked at Zhang Su with full doubts as he put a withered woman on a chair. The woman's dry hair was scattered and covered her face. She looked malnourished at a glance, wearing a large black mask, wrapped in several cotton coats, her movements were stiff and her posture was strange, revealing clues from the inside out.

"I'll smoke a cigarette, Xinyu, you tell Xiaoshan."

After saying that, Zhang Su walked to the window. He had just seen someone peeking from the kitchen window. Looking again, he could see people busy through the window covered with water vapor. Although it was very blurry, he could see the general shape through the body shape.

"Her name is Program One, hmm... see for yourself."

Saying that, Zheng Xinyu took off Program's mask, and a standard zombie face appeared in front of Zhong Xiaoshan.

Program Sister turned her head mechanically to look at the stranger, her blue-gray eyes actually emitting a faint luster in the dim room, her lower jaw trembling slightly, proving that she was a living existence.

"Hiss..."

Zhong Xiaoshan was startled and stepped back two steps, raising her hand to cover her mouth and looking at the quiet female zombie in disbelief, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

She started to contact zombies from the beginning of the disaster, definitely counting as the first batch. She had never experienced this kind of situation, and suddenly there was a chill rising in her heart.

"She... was she injected with any medicine? Is the sedative effective for zombies?"

Zhong Xiaoshan could only use her own cognition to understand this matter, completely ignoring the strange name of Program One.

Zheng Xinyu shook her head, reached out to tidy up Program's messy hair, and said: "Although Program transformed into a zombie, she possesses human consciousness. And... only listens to his orders."

Saying that, Zheng Xinyu looked at Zhang Su with a strange expression.

Zhong Xiaoshan patted her forehead with a strange expression. Her man's charm was too great, even female zombies were fascinated by him?

"This... I, fine, these are not strange, I can understand, I can understand..."

Zhong Xiaoshan comforted herself like self-hypnosis, and then asked: "Her name is... Program One? This name should be taken by Brother Su, right? Is there any implication?"

After coming back to her senses, she finally noticed the strangeness of the name.

"Of course there is! Hoo..."

Zhang Su exhaled a puff of smoke, walked between the two and the zombie, and said: "At first, I discovered she possessed consciousness. We planned to take her back for testing. The idea king who just joined the team, the young man you still have the passbook for, said to see if she could communicate with zombies... As a result, she could indeed communicate. The specific process won't be said, anyway, she is like a control program implanted in the zombie system. It only takes a certain amount of time, she can manipulate zombies, ordinary zombies have no pressure, but it is not stable against big guys!"

Zhang Su shrugged. When cleaning the train carriage, they tested it. There were two carriages without big guys, so they gathered those zombies together, exceeding fifty heads, but in the end, only forty-three were controlled.

"So powerful!"

Zhong Xiaoshan's eyes widened: "This ability is simply against the sky, then our camp will be worry-free in the future!?"

"Where is it as exaggerated as you think? There are many restrictions on implanting programs, the speed of the control process, the number of controls, the length of control time, etc. Currently, she can control more than

Zhang Su shrugged. When they were clearing the train carriages, they had tested it; there were two carriages without any Big Guys, so they gathered those zombies together. There were over fifty of them, but in the end, only forty-three were controlled.

"However, the program's ability seems to be able to grow. In short, we don't know much about her, but for now, she doesn't pose a danger to our safety."

Zhang Su explained.

"Regardless, it's already very impressive." Zhong Xiao shook her head continuously, sighing with emotion, then asked suddenly: "Where did you find her?"

"It wasn't a discovery... it's, this is very complicated. Simply put, she was dying, I fed her medicine, it didn't save her and she died, but then she turned into a zombie right under my nose, retaining human consciousness, able to communicate, but she has amnesia!"

After listening, Zhong Xiao nodded slowly and said: "Dying and being resurrected; it seems this kind of operation cannot be replicated."

"Hey! Fu Wei, I order you to get off Zhong Xiao immediately!"

Zhang Su suddenly pointed his sword-finger at Zhong Xiao.

"What are you saying..." Zhong Xiao laughed: "I was just thinking, if there were more programs like this, the zombie crisis really wouldn't be a problem anymore."

"It can't be replicated, because there are too many uncertainties, and we only saw the phenomenon; we don't know the specific cause at all. Let's stop researching this for now..." Zhang Su pointed to the kitchen and asked: "I just saw Wang Zhetao busy in the kitchen, who let him go?"

"Ah? Oh, that, we were short-handed today, so I let him go help. This matter is a bit complicated, I'll tell you when I find the time."

Zhong Xiao's gaze sharpened, pulling her thoughts away from the bizarre matter of a zombie having consciousness.

"Complicated?" Zhang Su's eyes flashed. He picked up an ashtray to extinguish his cigarette and said: "There's time right now." Since the leader said there was time, there must be time. Zhong Xiao didn't dawdle, but just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhang Su make a gesture for silence.

Immediately after, *dong, dong, dong*, a knocking sound rang out.

"Brother Zhang, it's me, Old Duan. Is there anything that needs help?"

Duan Wuhu's voice sounded from outside the door.

The few people in the room looked at each other; they were all sharp, and some things were tacitly understood.

If anyone in the entire camp was most interested in Program No. 1, besides Zhang Su who already knew her abilities, it would be Fu Wei. Look at how closely he was watching; just as they got home, Fu Wei's "nanny" showed up! "Go open the door."

Zhang Su gave Zheng Xin a look.

"Ah? Oh..."

Zheng Xin and Zhong Xiao were surprised. Both of them thought Zhang Su wouldn't let Duan Wuhu in, so why was he acting so unusually?

It must be that he wanted Fu Wei to know there was a zombie with consciousness, but because he was suspended, he couldn't research it, further torturing him. Yes, that must be it.

Having filled in a reasonable reason, Zheng Xin walked to the door and opened it.

"Yo, sister-in-law, that, I just saw Brother Zhang outside, I'll be damned!"

Duan Wuhu walked in with a laugh, and the moment he saw the zombie sitting on the chair glaring at him, he was so scared he almost turned into a spider clinging to the door panel.

"No, Old Duan, as a teacher, why are you spouting profanity?"

Zhang Su grabbed Duan Wuhu and pulled him into the room, closing the door behind him.

"I, you..."

Duan Wuhu subconsciously avoided the zombie on the chair, saying with lingering fear: "Brother Zhang, this, this, this, is this right?"

He wasn't afraid of zombies; even facing the zombies that had been strengthened several times now, he couldn't handle a Big Guy, but he could deal with ordinary zombies. It was just hard to accept a zombie sitting quietly on a chair, its blue-gray eyes glowing faintly while glaring at him.

"Answer me first, did Dr. Fu send you over?"

Zhang Su held Duan Wuhu's shoulder and asked with a half-smile.

Duan Wuhu's gaze was fixed on Program No. 1, and he answered absent-mindedly: "That, this, you could say so... Brother Zhang, tell me what's going on first, my heart is pounding!"

Zhang Su nodded, walked to the side of the program, and briefly told the story again.

After he finished, the room fell silent. Duan Wuhu's ability to accept things was clearly not as strong as Zhong Xiao's. It took him over half a minute to let out a long breath, sighing: "The world is truly full of wonders. Brother Zhang, then this, um, Ms. Program, can also be considered a member of the Yama Legion?"

"That's right, the Yama Legion welcomes talent, haha, but Old Duan..." Zhang Su's expression suddenly turned serious: "I told you everything without reservation, but you must promise me not to tell Fu Wei. At least while he's being punished, don't tell him, so he doesn't cause trouble. Understand?"

Duan Wuhu looked troubled: "I understand that, but that guy Fu Wei is as cunning as a monkey. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from him... and I've been here for ten minutes already; saying I didn't see anything won't fool him."

Zhang Su handed Duan Wuhu a cigarette and said: "That's easy. Listen to me: just say Xin sprained her ankle and you were helping with bone-setting and massage. Leave the rest to us to coordinate. That's it, you go first, we still have things to discuss."

Duan Wuhu nodded and left the room, looking back every two steps; the impact of Program No. 1 on him was not small.

"Hubby, do you think Teacher Duan can keep a secret?"

Zheng Xin asked while walking with a limp.

"We'll see. If Fu Wei finds out, then he's loose-lipped, and we'll have to be reserved with him in the future. Conversely, we can trust him even more. Anyway, Xiao, what were you going to say earlier?"

"Oh, it's like this, we were short-handed for cooking, so I went..."

Zhong Xiao picked up where she left off, recounting what she saw in the vegetable shed and the series of events that happened in the kitchen afterward, without adding any conjecture or subjective opinions.

"This Wang Zhetao is too restless. He's planning to cuckold Bo-zai. First there was Little Chen, and now there's Wang Zhetao. Bo-zai is so pitiful."

Zheng Xin was used to walking with a limp. After hearing Zhong Xiao's story, her expression was very strange. She knew about the situation between Lu Yubo and Pei Lan a few months ago. Later, it was indeed Pei Lan who chose Chen Hanzhou, but in the end, he was still heartbroken. Could it be that history was going to repeat itself?
