233: Romanticism is Different from Realism!

She shouldn’t drag Xiao Ming into her personal grudge against the male and female lead. If Xiao Ming really ended up getting killed and having his crystal nucleus dug out, she wouldn’t be able to forget the guilt.

After all, they had interacted for such a long time, so she did care about him.

Xiao Ming looked at Ning Shu. When he heard that Ning Shu didn’t want him to follow her anymore, he got a bit stirred up and asked, “Why?”

“You’ll die,” said Ning Shu.

“I won’t,” replied Xiao Ming earnestly. “I won’t die.”

Tch, you think that you won’t die just because you said so?

“Fine, if you want to follow me, then just follow.” She then exhorted, “However, as soon as things get dangerous, run. Don’t get hung up on things like strength of character or integrity.”

“What’s integrity?” Xiao Ming tilted his head as he asked Ning Shu.

Ning Shu replied mildly, “I don’t know what it is either.”

“Day, look, doesn’t this look like you?” Xiao Ming pointed at the drawing on the ground. It was a very abstract drawing so it took a while for Ning Shu to find any remote semblance to herself.

“The eyes are too small, I have large eyes.” Ning Shu pointed at the drawing on the ground. “And I have an oval face, but you drew my face completely flat and round. There’s a huge difference, you should practice more.”

Xiao Ming glanced at Ning Shu, then said, “I drew it right though.”

“Don’t you understand that romanticism is different from realism? Romanticism, understand?”

Xiao Ming: “No.”

…

Ning Shu and Xiao Ming returned to where the base was located and started hovering around again to cause trouble then run, once again restarting the cycle.

Their actions caused the atmosphere around the entire base to become very tense. After all, two variant zombies were constantly attacking, running off, then coming back again. The base had no way to shake them off or get rid of them, so it was stressful and infuriating.

Ning Shu took a sip of gene essence, then asked Xiao Ming, “Want some?”

Xiao Ming shook his head, expressing his clear rejection towards the idea, so Ning Shu pried open his mouth and poured the gene essence into it while saying, “Drink it. It’s good for you.”

Xiao Ming smacked his lips with a disgusted expression.

“I don’t like this,” said Xiao Ming sulkily.

“Shhh, don’t talk. Someone’s coming out from the base.” Ning Shu saw that a car was coming out of the base doors and was quite surprised since it was night. Very few people ever left the base at night.

After all, though the night limited human vision, it didn’t restrict zombie vision the same way, so it was very unusual for someone to leave the base in the middle of the night.

“Should I call the monsties?” asked Xiao Ming. Ning Shu shook her head. “Let’s check out the situation first.”

“Let’s follow them.” Ning Shu decided to follow the car for now.

At this time, another car came out of the base and chased after the car that had just left.

By the time Ning Shu and Xiao Ming caught up with those cars, the two sides had already started fighting. The sight of the dazzling abilities being released was very eye-piercing in the night.

“What are they doing?” asked Xiao Ming.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she watched the battle. When she heard his question, she replied, “They’re fighting.”

“Why? They’re both humans,” asked Xiao Ming. No zombies have ever attacked him, so he couldn’t understand why humans would fight each other.

“The human world is very complicated, you won’t get it,” said Ning Shu.
