Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

"Are you all really that scared? You're all pale and blue-faced. Are these zombies really that ferocious? I don't see any signs of a fight on the vehicle. Why are you so terrified?"

Zhao Pingsheng put his hands behind his back and looked at the others, completely puzzled.

Zhang Dapeng said, "You didn't see that scene. If you had, you would have been scared too. I'll send you the dashcam footage later. What were those things? They were neither human nor ghost, neither zombie nor human."

According to Rona and the other two, the "superhumans" in the town base, although expressionless and acting woodenly, could eat normally and accept missions, because they had seen them in the canteen and mission hall. It's just that these "superhumans" didn't talk much.

But why would a normal person come out in the middle of the night and mingle with a pile of zombies?

What is the purpose of worshipping the moon?

Moreover, those zombies didn't bite them; in short, it was very strange.

Zhao Pingsheng felt a chill run down his spine just listening to it. He rubbed his arms and said, "Worship the moon? I don't understand. I'll look it up later."

Is this something special? Or is it some kind of ritual?

"The acid rain thing is easier to understand. According to my research, the acid rain in the apocalypse also contains a lot of pollutants. These pollutants can increase the pollution level, thereby achieving a certain evolutionary path."

"For example, that mutated kapok tree was also a mutation caused by the invasion of a pollution source. By the way, take them both to the third floor."

As he spoke, Zhao Pingsheng directed Zhang Dapeng to escort Lin Shuangshuang and Huo Ling upstairs.

Zhang Dapeng readily agreed without complaint.

The three of them, including Rona, were overjoyed to be back; they realized how good home is only after leaving it.

"I'm so happy, waaaaah!"

Lorna held Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, stroking their two metal dog heads enthusiastically. Although the mechanical dogs weren't real dogs, they could still understand human emotions through human actions, so they were very happy.

Little Five and Little Six are wagging their tails frantically.

Wu Zhe took off the tarpaulin and combat uniform, agreeing wholeheartedly, "The single rooms in that base are ridiculously small. Anyone who lives there would go crazy from the oppression, right?"

Gao Lei raised his hand and stripped off his clothes until he was only wearing his undershirt and pants, revealing his muscular body. "Indeed, it feels like those [superpowered individuals] might have been driven crazy by this."

Lorna didn't want to deal with these things anymore. "There's no harm without comparison. After this experience, I think our little castle is even better. It's so spacious and we can do whatever we want!"

She was only wearing close-fitting casual clothes, a set of thermal underwear with thin fleece, and she lay on the living room carpet, too tired to move at all.

After sorting and sending the clothes to the laundry, the third and fourth girls circled around the three of them, saying, "Oh, my poor little ones, are you all alright?" and "Here's a warm cup of milk for you, with chocolate in it!"

Luo Na was immediately moved to tears. She exclaimed, "Xiao San and Xiao Si, you're so thoughtful! Oh, and make some for Captain Huo and Shuang'er too. They can have some when they wake up. Save some for them."

The mistresses said, "Of course! Every one of you has one!" "Yes, yes!"

They then asked, "[Is Captain Huo alright? Is Shuangshuang alright too? I saw them faint, I'm so worried.]" "[Yes, yes! Were you in great danger?]"

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe briefly explained to the two robots that although the robot team was just AI robots, they were still family members, and everyone treated them like family. Even though they said they didn't have human emotions, they were still "happy" about it.

"..."

"That's roughly the situation. You two should hurry up and get ready to charge your devices."

"Yes, it's late. You can keep the milk you've prepared. We'll just stay here with Brother Huo and Sister Shuangshuang. We won't be able to sleep anytime soon anyway."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe urged Xiao San and Xiao Si to rest, saying that they wouldn't have the energy for tomorrow if they didn't recharge. Xiao San and Xiao Si had no choice but to agree.

Okay, see you tomorrow! Feel free to contact San San anytime if you need anything!

Goodnight.

"Goodnight." Lorna waved to them and told Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu to go and rest.

The living room fell silent immediately.

The three of them looked at each other. Although they were physically tired, they were mentally very active and couldn't fall asleep anytime soon. Their minds were in turmoil.

Gao Lei stood up from the carpet first. "I'll go ask Xiao Yi and Xiao Er to cook some instant noodles. You two take a shower first. We can talk about anything else later."

Luo Na and Wu Zhe agreed.

Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng were still in the third-floor diagnosis room, treating Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang.

Lin Shuangshuang woke up quickly. She almost hit Zhao Pingsheng when she woke up, and she was very wary. Then she saw Zhang Dapeng and remembered that she had handed Huo Ling over to him before she fell asleep. Looking at the surroundings, she realized that she must have followed him here. The next second, she went to check on Huo Ling's condition.

Zhao Pingsheng wasn't angry; in fact, he felt sorry for her. He put both of them on IV drips, then pulled Zhang Dapeng away to make room for the young couple, and even closed the door to the examination room for them.

Zhang Dapeng wanted a cigarette, but he held it in his hand without lighting it. "Are Xiao Huo and Shuang'er doing alright?"

Zhao Pingsheng said, "There's no problem. People with superpowers are very strong. They can recover after a while. But Lin Shuangshuang, constantly losing her memory is a very painful thing. Every time she wakes up, her mind is completely blank. How much of her memory she has today will always be a mystery."

He thought the girl was quite strong. "Anyone else would probably have gone crazy by now. Oh, no, she can't be considered a normal person either, but she's still very strong, even as a humanoid weapon she's cultivated."

After all, her body is still a human body. If the pollution level hadn't reached the critical point, she wouldn't have turned into a beast, or rather, become alienated.

Zhang Dapeng usually didn't care about these things, but now he was curious. "Who exactly is she? I don't understand anything about her."

Zhao Pingsheng glanced at him. "Didn't I mention that gene to you guys last time?"

Zhang Dapeng recalled, then said, "Ah, and then? Was she a modified experimental subject? Fusion with some kind of plants or animals?"

Zhao Pingsheng shook his head. "I mentioned to Huo Ling before that she doesn't seem like a test subject that was modified later. She's more like a nurtured organism that was cultivated from the time she was an egg. The two are different. If she were a nurtured organism, then it's quite impressive that she can achieve this level of social interaction."

After all, according to the information he found, the life system of cultivated organisms is completely different from that of humans.

It's quite bizarre that Huo Ling could fall in love with a humanoid weapon who knows almost nothing. How did they even start dating?

Zhao Pingsheng, a perpetually lonely and celibate man, couldn't understand it at all. "Sigh."

Zhang Dapeng laughed at him, "Even you have a day when you sigh."

Zhao Pingsheng chuckled, "No matter how awesome a person is, he's still just a human being."

I am no exception.
