Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Shen Yisui was still unconscious, but his other senses were rapidly developing after he lost his sight. Even though he couldn't see what was happening, he could sense that the adjutant's gaze had lingered on him.

Cheng Jingyi stood up, choosing a perfect angle to block the adjutant's gaze from looking at Shen Yisui.

"Officers, shall we introduce them?" He looked at the two men in military uniforms in front of him, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The adjutant remained silent. With his view blocked, he naturally turned his gaze to Cheng Jingyi, his expression still mostly intimidating and cold.

Cheng Jingyi completely ignored the adjutant's expression.

Most of the soldiers trained in the Eastern District Army are like this: expressionless is the norm, and being sparing with words is their basic skill.

They thought this would intimidate their subordinates and others, but in Cheng Jingyi's view, it was nothing more than posturing.

"Ahem... Let me introduce myself first, let me introduce myself first." The air inside the room was getting colder. Seeing that neither Cheng Jingyi nor his adjutant intended to speak first, the fox-eyed man standing at the back squeezed in through the crack in the door.

Cheng Jingyi turned to look at him and saw that the man's military uniform was badly damaged, with the gold trim on the shoulders and chest torn off, and it was no longer in its original state.

But just by looking at the workmanship and style of his uniform, Cheng Jingyi knew that he was just a new soldier who had recently joined the army.

As Cheng Jingyi had predicted, the fox-eyed man walked up to him and extended his hand: "Hello, I am Yi Yi. I have only recently joined the army. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

It was a very formal self-introduction. Cheng Jingyi glanced at Yi Yi, whose police cap was still on, and whose curly hair on both sides was all piled up together.

His face was pale, completely bloodless, and his outstretched palm was the same. Although there were not many wounds, it was too pale, and the color of the veins under his skin could be clearly seen.

Cheng Jingyi's eyes were half-hidden behind her military cap as she looked at him, and she reached out to shake his hand in return, saying, "Cheng Jingyi."

“I know, I’ve heard of you, you’re very famous,” Yi said meaningfully.

Cheng Jingyi sneered. He was the former zombie king who had been usurped, and Yi Yi, a mere soldier, had certainly heard of him.

Cheng Jingyi didn't say anything more to Yi Yi. His hand touched Yi Yi's for only two or three seconds before they both quickly withdrew their hands.

No matter how down on his luck Cheng Jingyi is now, his special abilities should not be underestimated. This Yi Yi dared to shake hands with Cheng Jingyi on their first meeting, which shows that she is quite bold.

Cheng Jingyi seemed to be deep in thought.

After Yi Yi finished introducing herself to him, she naturally stepped back, leaving her seat empty. The adjutant's expression remained tense, revealing a hint of intimidation and indifference.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Cheng Jingyi and simply said, "Lu Ran."

He had no intention of exchanging any more words with Cheng Jingyi. After saying his name, he turned and walked out.

Seeing this, Shen Heng explained to Cheng Jingyi, "Brother, the adjutant is always serious, even in the army. I've already explained the previous plans to him, and he agreed to them all."

Cheng Jingyi didn't seem to care much and said, "It's nothing."

The military and the zombies are far from being able to coexist peacefully; the border between the east and west districts is littered with the corpses of both humans and zombies. Now, this adjutant is forced to cooperate with Cheng Jingyi, which must be extremely displeasing to him.

“Brother, the adjutant and the others have already brought the supplies. We plan to leave here in three days. Do you think… we could stay here? I see the houses across the street are empty too,” Shen Heng continued.

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yisui, who was unconscious next to the wardrobe: "If we're all together, there will be more people keeping an eye on him."

Cheng Jingyi narrowed her eyes slightly upon hearing this.

...Should we have more people watching Shen Yisui? Or should we have more people killing him?

The two men Shen Heng recruited were both military personnel, one of whom held the rank of adjutant. Although they had reached a verbal agreement, there was no guarantee they wouldn't suddenly break the contract and shoot Shen Yisui.

Cheng Jingyi is a high-level zombie, which might make these soldiers hesitate. But Shen Yisui is currently only a low-level zombie, so it would be easy for them to find a reason to kill him.

“Okay, you can stay over there if you want,” Cheng Jingyi said. “But I’ll keep an eye on Shen Yi. He’s a low-level zombie and has no consciousness. If he goes out, he might accidentally hurt you.”

His meaning was clear, and Shen Heng didn't say anything more after hearing it, only saying, "Okay, then I'll go first, take care of yourself."

After Shen Heng finished speaking, he left the room. The colorful ball floated in the air, following Shen Heng, and soon disappeared from Cheng Jingyi's sight.

Cheng Jingyi watched him walk away until the others left the house and went to the other side of the corridor before he walked back to Shen Yisui.

Shen Yisui kept his eyes closed, and Cheng Jingyi took the opportunity to grab him and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright by yourself?"

Shen Yi casually bit the belt and mumbled an indistinct "hmm" in Cheng Jingyi's ear.

Cheng Jingyi sighed. Seeing that Shen Yisui had no intention of changing his mind, he still tied him to the bedpost as planned.

Shen Heng would not use the power of the other two soldiers to kill Shen Yisui unless absolutely necessary.

Having read the contents of the Book of No Seal, Shen Yisui knew that Shen Heng harbored deep resentment towards Shen Yisui, and that this level of resentment was enough to force Shen Heng to kill Shen Yisui with his own hands.

Shen Yisui only needed to create this opportunity for him.

Cheng Jingyi fastened the leather belt around Shen Yisui's hands, deliberately leaving a gap so that Shen Yisui could easily break free. Afterward, he went out again, and when he returned, he placed a bowl of water under the bed and covered it with a sheet.

Shen Yisui sensed Cheng Jingyi's action and tugged at his sleeve with her finger.

Cheng Jingyi snorted: "Don't worry, I'll be outside."

Shen Yisui didn't let go. He bit the leather belt in his mouth. Perhaps because it had been there for too long, the surface of the belt had a lingering, rotten smell between his lips and teeth.

Cheng Jingyi completely disregarded Shen Yisui's needs. There was nothing else in the room, and Shen Yisui hadn't brought the rope he used to tie him up. Cheng Jingyi could only use these two leather belts to tie him up now.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all out, otherwise it won't be effective.

Cheng Jingyi felt no guilt. He placed the water in an inconspicuous spot under the bed, and as he got up, he suddenly realized that something was missing from the room.

He stood up, looked around, and then looked towards the corner of the room.

...What about Ruoruo?

Previously, Shen Yi had knocked Ruoruo unconscious and left him in the corner of this room. He was a low-level zombie, and Cheng Jingyi hadn't paid much attention to him, but now where did he go?

Cheng Jingyi frowned. He couldn't find the weak figure in the room, and after hesitating for a moment, he went out.
