The Daily Life of the Zombie

Chapter 79: Paradise

That said, but Gu Chen resolved Xiao Xiao's problem for her out of morality.

When Xiao Xiao went back to the fort this time, in addition to herself, she also brought the construction team that helped her build it back then. This group of people has a very thorough understanding of Xiao Xiao's fort!

This time, in addition to reconnecting the cables of the amusement park, they also used some metal abilities to reinforce the entire defensealthough Xiao Xiao no longer felt that her fortress had any of this, but she couldnt stand the group. People are eager to try, everyone is coming, Xiao Xiao can only let them do whatever they want.

After two days of construction, all the equipment in the fort returned to normal, including the amusement equipment. Even Xiao Xiao herself couldn't see what it was like in some places.

In addition, Xiao Xiao saw that there were many experts in the work team, so she also got an Internet cafe in a construction area and put all the electronic products she prepared in it.

Finally, everything is ready, and this place transformed from farmhouse to fortress, from fortress to amusement park.

Before opening, there was one most important issuethe staff.

Xiao Xiao has no one available, but she is not worried about this at all, because she has money, and she is not afraid that no one will come.

Before the action, Xiao Xiao first reported to Gu Chen, and then directly openly recruited. Anyone who has experience in the operation of amusement facilities can be considered.

In addition, all chefs and some skilled people are also recruited - Xiao Xiao doesnt have much, but has the best meat. Whether you want to do Mala Tang or charcoal barbecue, as long as she can bring it up, she will provide.

When these recruitment revelations came out, people were still skeptical... Amusement park? In this economy? Is this man sick?

However, under the temptation of Xiao Xiao's high salary, the manpower was quickly recruited in just a few days, and the entire park went directly into operation.

Not many people came at first, until Xiao Xiao decided to change the rewards of some small game areas to magic cores, this place became overcrowded, and the radiation range is not only limited to K City, but also far away citizen have come here admiringly.

However, Xiao Xiao's way of looking for trouble immediately attracted Gu Chen.

"So, are you really too busy?" Gu Chen stood beside the balloon shooting booth, pulled Xiao Xiao to point to the prize area, and said helplessly: "As long as you hit nine, you will be given a first-class magic core?"

Xiao Xiao looked at it and didn't think there was a big problem, so she nodded with certainty: "That's right! But you need 1 point for each participation, so I still have to earn!"

Although most of the a person's physique has become stronger, but accuracy doesn't depend on it.

"Okay, this doesn't count." Hearing Xiao Xiao still arguing, Gu Chen dragged her to the second booth.

"Can you explain this, as long as you can catch five, you'll be given a second-level magic core?"

This is a stall that imitates goldfish, but the nets are not the same as the fish inside.

"It's very difficult!" Xiao Xiao pointed at the pool and said, "If you don't believe me, try it. There are only ten nets at a time. It's not that easy to catch fish."

Xiao Xiao's confidence is not without reason, because although these mutant fish can't attack, they are super slippery after the mutation, and it is very difficult to catch five of them with that small net.

Gu Chen's face was gloomy, he took a net from the side, and then discharged it directly into the water, all of which were instantly stunned, and the net took half of the fish in.

"...Someone, put up a sign, prohibit the use of abilities!" Seeing the situation, Xiao Xiao quickly explained to the employee in charge of the stall, lest the second-level magic core she prepared was taken away by others.

"Do you really know the value of the magic core now?" Seeing Xiao Xiao or Gu Zuo talking about him, Gu Chen put down the net and didn't look at the mutant fish that he had catch.

"Yes, of course I know!" Xiao Xiao saw that she couldn't escape, so she had to face the reality and explain honestly.

"Isn't this a grand opening ceremony? The prizes will drop a lot in the future, and will not affect the market price." Xiao Xiao explained a little: "Besides, look at the smiles on those people's faces, don't you think it's worth it?

Hearing Xiao Xiao say this , Gu Chen was stunned for a while, then raised his head to take a closer look.

After his observation, he suddenly realized that what Xiao Xiao said was right - the people who came here were all beaming, and there was no negative emotion like the frowning face before.

"I told you last time, entertainment!" Xiao Xiao said solemnly: "The root of a civilization is people! Think about how many people you have made to act like a machine for the defense line in the past six months, while they are guarding the line. Have you abandoned the emotions you should have as a human while defending the territory or keeping your post?"

Hearing Xiao Xiao's extreme statement, Gu Chen frowned a little, and looked at Xiao Xiao in disapproval.

"Whether it's the soldiers on the front line or the people in charge of logistics! They're people, not machines, let alone screws!" Xiao Xiao intends to take this opportunity to pour out everything she's seen and heard these days to Gu Chen know.

"Before the end of the world, most people were just ordinary office workers, just an inconspicuous part of all living beings. They survived the disaster with great difficulty, and they haven't had time to rejoice that they survived. You have to accept these pressures from survival that you have never been exposed to before! You must know that living in a highly stressful environment can easily drive people crazy!"

"This is not acceptable. When everything returns to normal, naturally this won't happen again..." Gu Chen tried to explain, but unfortunately Xiao Xiao interrupted him halfway through.

"Wait? Who can wait? Who can wait?! You really should open your eyes and see what kind of life these people in the defense line are living!"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly replayed in her mind the memories scanned by her mental power for the past half month. Those people's original vivid color life, after the end of the world, only black and white fragments remain.

Before the apocalypse, how many people were just ordinary people who kept themselves safe, but after the apocalypse came, they lost their bottom line in order to survive, couldn't bear the pressure and lost their reason, and in the end they were not even themselves anymore.

Humans will always find some way to release their pressure. After losing legitimate entertainment, some people can hold back, some people can't hold back, and the group of people who can't hold back become depressed. Some of them choose to hurt themselves. And some choose to hurt others.

"Like the group of people I killed before, many of them have gone crazy! What drives them crazy is the whole environment and the whole social atmosphere! These former modern people are accustomed to having an entertainment life, and they are suddenly transformed into a high-pressure environment. Even if they escaped the claws of zombies or mutant beasts, they became like walking corpses themself."

Xiao Xiao revealed that she was the executioner without concealment at this moment -because it was as if she knew Gu Chen, Gu Chen also knew her. Without his cooperation, she would not have been able to kill so happily in the past two weeks.

Xiao Xiao pointed to the place in K City and said word by word, "This is why I came back this time and wanted to build the park!"

"After my reminder, you have successfully established base for them. A safe place to live is right, but! You also deprive everyone of the entertainment they deserve - what's the difference between being a prisoner?"

Xiao Xiao was a prisoner, so seeing people living under such high pressure, they always feel like they are in prison - perhaps better, this is a cage called 'safety', which can also protect them.

"The two can't be compared!" Gu Chen saw Xiao Xiao's more serious words, and quickly interrupted her to stop her more and more radical remarks.

"Now that the environment is so bad, I have given them the guarantee of survival, then they have to pay labor - this is an equivalent exchange, and it is the greatest fairness I can give."

"Isn't it the same?" Xiao Xiao sneered and said, "In my opinion, it is the same, you just gave a wall that looks like a protection for human beings, but it is actually a cage, maybe it is safe? Wrong, but after losing spiritual food, can't you see people's growing depression?"

Gu Chen understood that what Xiao Xiao said might make sense, and he might have done what Xiao Xiao said, but... the actual situation are not allowed.

"In this situation, where should I go to create entertainment?" Gu Chen was accused of this by Xiao Xiao, and his emotions rose a little.

"If you don't have to face the danger of life and death in the rear, you can still enjoy and have fun. Is this fair to those soldiers who are still alive?"

"Then you should let them go to the front line!" After losing control of her emotions, Xiao Xiao realized. The person in front of him is Gu Chen, so like waking up from a big dream, she gradually softened her tone, "You should record what happened on battlefield. Its okay to watch a movie, let them know how much blood and bones forged their stability.

Ill let someone arrange it. Gu Chen stared at Xiao Xiao, and then said, Maybe you are right. Yes, I used to focus too much on the big picture and neglected the small family - but one thing you can't deny is that when everyone is betting on rebuilding, so much can be achieved in such a short period of time."

"If this is the case, in the civilization that is finally rebuilt, can this group... still be called human?" Xiao Xiao looked helplessly at the laughing people not far away, and seemed to see the essence through the appearance - that one creatures who have lost their emotions and only live to survive.

"At least, they are alive." Gu Chen finally ended the quarrel between the two with this sentence, and then he did not ask Xiao Xiao to stop 'doing nothing', but acquiesced to Xiao Xiao's use of magic cores to attract people to the park.

...

'At least, they are alive. '

That night, Xiao Xiao looked at the starry sky above her head, imagined Gu Chen's last words, and kept chewing on the deep meaning.

'To live... in the end, what is to live? '

When Xiao Xiao closes her eyes now, she will think of the people who have died under her hands in the past two weeks, the faces with different emotions.

This is the first time that she has personally executed so many people - because she has to distinguish who deserves to die and who doesn't, so she has to use her mental power to invade the memories of those 'evil people', before each execution. It's all inevitable, and after the invasion, she will see some things she shouldn't see.

In addition to the bad guys who had done many evils before the end of the world, those who were driven crazy before dying, the emotions revealed in their eyes and expressions were relieved.

How many people in the last days have lost their close relatives, lost their loved ones, and even lost the motivation to live, but because the whole family is left alone, they have to work hard to live.

At the moment when they killed the zombies with familiar faces, maybe this move was to protect themselves, but when they started, they lost forever the most important part of human beings - humanity.

How can they get the lost part back?

'I...I killed my wife, I killed my son...Even though they're zombies, I shouldn't have done it, I'm guilty, I'm guilty... ah ah ah ah, kill me! '

'Blood... all blood, blood everywhere, why did the whole world become like this when you woke up? What did i do wrong? God, why are you punishing me like this... This world is wrong, then all must die, hahahahaha! "

'I love her...but she asked me to do it myself before she died, she told me that she didn't want to become that ugly thing...so I did it...but why, why my heart hurts so much?... I don't have a lover, why do you have it? Go die! Go die, ah, ah, ah!'

One after another, different tragedies are played back in Xiao Xiao's mind, accompanied by the painful choices she saw in the spiritual invasion almost didn't drive her crazy.

'Stop! You idiot!' The system suddenly noticed Xiao Xiao's mental instability, and quickly got out of the research state to calm down Xiao Xiao's mental power.

'If you don't have diamonds, don't work with porcelain, your mental strength has finally stabilized, why are you dying again?' The system looked helplessly at Xiao Xiao, who had entered a dormant state, and said helplessly.

Originally, the system wanted to clear those junk memories directly, but even if Xiao Xiao was in a coma, those mental tentacles still held onto those fragments, as if those nightmares were like treasures.

'Can't forget...' Xiao Xiao's mental tentacles kept repeating these two words, wanting the system not to delete these memories.

'...Human, tsk!' Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't want to let go, the system could only recite a few words in disgust, and reluctantly manipulated Xiao Yan and placed Xiao Xiao next to the twins.

Looking at Xiao Xiao's sleeping face, Xiao Yan, who was operated by the system, suddenly smiled very humanely.

"I wish you a good dream."

This strange scene was not seen, because the only three audience members entered a dormant state. After Xiao Yan finished laughing, he resumed his unswerving smile, as if the smiling face just now was an illusion.

Outside the window, there is Yue Niang hanging high in the sky, maybe... she is the only one who knows the truth, who knows?
