"Right." Just as Lu Xiaotian was lost in thought, Tang Cheng suddenly asked, "What's your number?"
"Huh?" Lu Xiaotian was completely at a loss with Tang Cheng's sudden change of topic and instinctively asked, "What number?"
"You know, the challenger number. Mine is 9527, what's yours?"
"Oh, that one, it seems to be 11111." After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaotian honestly replied, then asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this?"
"Condolences." Tang Cheng patted his shoulder with a solemn look.
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaotian was utterly puzzled.
Tang Cheng shook his head and said regretfully, "Other people only have four 1s on Singles' Day, but you have five 1s. You're destined to be alone for life. No wonder your newbie equipment is a goddess's *underwear. This cycle world is really quite humane."
"..." Lu Xiaotian was speechless. A challenger number could lead to such an interpretation, and you're really something, "So isn't your 9527 the meaning of a low-class servant?"
Lu Xiaotian began to counterattack.
"Hey, you're right, it really is. How interesting." Tang Cheng laughed happily.
Hey, hey, hey, don't be so happy! I'm insulting you here. How can it be interesting to be called a low-class servant? Lu Xiaotian's heart was already roaring. What kind of monster is this guy in front of him?
"Ah!"
At this moment, a sudden scream rang out. The two of them instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tang Ya sitting on the ground in front of a car, her hands supporting the ground as she crawled backward. The car in front of her was trembling and shaking.
There's something wrong!
Seeing this, the two immediately ran over. At the same time, Li Guodong and the others, who were searching for a car on the other side, also ran over. Li Guodong asked while running, "What happened?"
The distance between them was not far, and they quickly reached Tang Ya. By this time, Tang Ya had already stood up, but her face was pale, as if she had seen something terrifying. She pointed at the car in front of her and trembled, "Th... th... there's a zombie!"
Upon hearing the word "zombie," Li Guodong's face changed immediately. He raised the death scythe he had been holding and was about to strike the car.
"Move aside, let the professionals handle it!" However, before he could act, a high-pitched voice rang out. It was Tang Cheng. He took a step forward and was already in front of the car window, looking inside. Indeed, he saw a figure lying on the front seat, struggling continuously.
"How is it?" A voice asked from behind.
Without turning his head, Tang Cheng waved his hand and said solemnly, "Let me take a closer look."
Why use "this humble one"? Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
After about ten seconds, Tang Cheng slowly said, "Yes, this is indeed a zombie. And from my observation, this unfortunate guy has been trapped in the car for some time. When he was still human, he was bitten by a zombie and still harbored unrealistic hopes, wanting to drive away. But dreams are full, reality is harsh. The car hadn't even started when he turned into a zombie and was trapped inside. Ha, what a tragedy."
"Skip the commentary!" Tang Ya said irritably.
Tang Cheng laughed, "Don't worry, this silly zombie is stuck in the car from the shaking. He can't even crawl out, just keeps shaking the car... From this, we can see that zombies are all low-IQ scum. They can't even open a car door, which even a five-year-old can do. There's no need to be afraid at all."
"You'll be scared when it bites you in the face, see if you're afraid!" Tang Ya immediately retorted. Now that the zombie was stuck in the car and couldn't be seen, it wasn't scary. But when she came over, the zombie's face suddenly appeared on the car window, which was really terrifying!
Tang Ya's words were better left unsaid. Unexpectedly, Tang Cheng suddenly reached out and opened the car door.
This unexpected action made the other five people's hearts race, and they all screamed in unison, retreating. Tang Ya and Su Xiaoqing, the two girls, even hugged each other, squeezing tightly... The reason was simple: at the moment the car door opened, the zombie finally revealed its true face.
From the current angle, it could be seen that the zombie's lower body was completely stuck under the car seat. Even though zombies have no sensation, it was difficult for it to get out. It could only lie there, waving its hands and struggling, and roaring. Its head was half gone, revealing black, coagulated brain matter. One eyeball hung on the other half of its face, and with its roars, its mouth, which was split like a bowl, emitted a disgusting odor.
Without mentioning the zombie's cannibalistic nature, just the appearance of this zombie was enough to scare most people. After all, even if someone saw a snake or a barking dog, they would be scared and wouldn't dare to approach, let alone such an ugly, disgusting, and terrifying zombie.
Not just Tang Ya and Su Xiaoqing, even Li Guodong felt a bit queasy.
"You... what are you doing?!" Tang Ya pointed at Tang Cheng and asked loudly.
"Didn't you tell me to look at it face-to-face?" Tang Cheng had a matter-of-fact expression. As he spoke, he squatted down, grabbed the zombie's dirty hair with one hand, and examined it from both sides, saying calmly, "It's not that scary, just like the dark cuisine I ate ten years ago."
After saying that, he casually swung his military knife with his right hand, cutting off the zombie's hanging eyeball, and nodded, "This looks better."
The others didn't think it looked better at all, and they just wanted to ask, "What was the dark cuisine you ate ten years ago?"
Of course, no one asked this question because they suddenly realized that Tang Cheng was about to drag the zombie out!
At this moment, not just the two girls, even Li Guodong couldn't remain calm. He tightly gripped his weapon and asked in shock, "Tang... Tang brother, what are you planning to do?"
Tang Cheng answered honestly, "Oh, I'm going to drag it out and study it. After all, we'll be staying in this world for some time, and we'll inevitably encounter zombies. If we can understand their nervous system, it will be more efficient. It's a rare opportunity to have a lab rat in front of me, so I can't waste it... Don't worry, I've studied some human anatomy before."
Seeing the others' uneasy expressions, Tang Cheng added, "We're not worried about this, right? Besides, you're a freelancer, where did you learn human anatomy?"
The others really wanted to complain, but their fear of the zombie suppressed their urge to do so. Su Xiaoqing, almost in tears, pleaded, "Just kill it!"
"Why make such a fuss? It's just a zombie, and this one clearly has no fighting ability." Tang Cheng looked at her with disdain and said helplessly, "If you're really worried, I'll cut off its limbs and turn it into a human stick... No, that would make it hard to test the nervous system. Let's make a deal, shall I just cut off its feet?"
Tang Cheng was seriously negotiating with everyone.
But clearly, his seriousness didn't resonate with his teammates. Li Guodong smiled awkwardly and said, "Tang... Tang brother, I think we should skip the research. Our priority is to find a car that can be driven."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, and you can see, everyone is already quite scared."
"So, you mean I can't dissect this zombie?"
"Right, it's best not to." Li Guodong said, and the other four nodded in agreement.
"Alright, since you all say so, the minority must obey the majority..." Tang Cheng sighed and reluctantly put down the "lab rat," standing up and said to everyone, "Then, could someone please get me a rope?"
"What do you need a rope for?" Li Guodong was confused.
"Of course, to tie it up." Tang Cheng pointed at the zombie and said matter-of-factly, "I've only ever walked small cats, dogs, and tigers. I've never walked a zombie before. It should be interesting, and after walking it, I can dissect it."
This guy is definitely not normal!
Tang Cheng's words once again shattered everyone's worldview. Walking a zombie, who could come up with such an idea? Is he a madman or a lunatic? And where did you walk tigers?
In the end, Tang Cheng didn't get to dissect the zombie or walk it. After all, not everyone is a madman like him, so the zombie could only be executed.
"Sigh, I didn't want to do this..." Tang Cheng raised the leader's gun and aimed at the zombie's head, but before he could finish his sentence, the zombie opened its mouth and bit at him.
"Hey, you actually dare to bite me!" Tang Cheng instinctively stepped back, glaring, "With your inability to even open a car door, you want to bite me... Come on, come on, you damn fool!"
As he spoke, Tang Cheng started waving his hands and feet, spouting endless insults, truly as despicable as he could be.
"..." The five people behind Tang Cheng were speechless.
"Looks like this guy is not only a pervert but also a scoundrel." Tang Ya defined him.
