Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 146: The Zombie Emperor

Ge Xiu quickly put the idea into practice.

He leaned down and sucked on the other’s chin.

“!”

Xie Shili was startled, subconsciously moved back suddenly and hit the back of his head hard on the floor, making an loud knocking sound.

This really caught him off guard.

Xie Shili’s eyes went dark for a moment and he gasped subconsciously, it took him a while to recover.

Ge Xiu smacked his mouth and relished on the flavour for a while, very tasty.

So delicious…

but still, not enough.

He lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite Xie Shili’s Adam’s apple.

Xie Shili’s eyes widened in astonishment.

There was a cold and moist touch on the neck as the soft lips and tongue covered the sensitive and vulnerable throat area, licking and sucking delicately. The teeth were carefully controlled and held back, but they would still accidentally scrape the skin gently from time to time, bringing up a bursts of intense currents.

Xie Shili’s whole body was thrown into disarray, his muscles tensed at once as the numbing electric current rushed down his spine.

Relying on the strength that appeared from nowhere, he broke free from the restraint, quickly raised his hand to grab Ge Xiu’s shoulder and pushed him off his body,

“You…”

Xie Shili opened his mouth in a mess, his voice so hoarse like it could barely come out of his throat.

However, just as he uttered a word, he got stuck as if there was cotton in his throat and was unable to utter half a syllable more.

Ge Xiu stared blankly at the human in front of him.

He obviously… wasn’t going to bite him or anything? Why such a big reaction?

Can’t even lick it?

Under the gaze of those inorganic gray eyes, Xie Shili felt more and more embarrassed.

The other party’s expression was so innocent and pure, as if he didn’t know what he did wrong just now and was simply puzzled as to why he would push him away.

This made Xie Shili even more embarrassed.

On his throat, chin and neck, the soft but cold touch remained adhered to the skin. The sensation was still clear and vivid, and it seemed like it wouldn’t go away in a long time.

Xie Shili looked away, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down—

then he cleared his throat and broke the silence:

“From now on…”

Xie Shili continued what he was just saying, his voice full of forced calm and composure, but the hoarseness of the voice could not be hidden, hindering his performance from being believable:

and he got stuck for the second time.

What was you want to say?

Don’t do it anymore? —It didn’t seem right.

But otherwise—

that’d be even more wrong.

As a result, Xie Shili’s mind was once again overwhelmed and he was completely unable to sort out his thoughts for a while.

Ge Xiu thoughtfully looked at the human being with a stiff expression and dodging eyes. He opened his mouth imitating the other and airflow surged in his throat, trying to move the vocal cords that had not been used for a long time, making a hoarse and broken voice:

“……eat…”

Xie Shili was taken aback.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared fixedly at the pale young man in front of him, and asked,

“You… did you just speak?”

He had tried to speak before, but all that could be heard was a breathy noise, barely moving the vocal cords.

It was completely different this time.

Ge Xiu thought about it carefully, then slowly opened his mouth, and repeated the action just now. Although it was still hoarse and rough that it didn’t hold any resemblance to normal voice, but this time, his voice was much smoother than before, letting listener hear clearly what he was saying this time:

“…Eat.”

“Are you hungry?” Xie Shili examined the other person’s expression and repeated unhurriedly.

Ge Xiu nodded: “Eat!”

“Do you want to eat me?”

Ge Xiu’s eyes lit up, his gray eyes sparkled instantly, and he nodded vigorously.

Xie Shili frowned slightly and asked suspiciously:

“Then why didn’t you continue just now?”

The question was too complicated and it was too difficult for Ge Xiu’s to spell it out loud, so he frowned in confusion, and tried to organize the words into a language, but no matter how much he tried he couldn’t express himself well.

He gave up trying in frustration:

“…eat.”

The young man lowered his eyes pitifully, his pale lips slightly flattened, seeming like a small animal soaked in the rain.

Although the other had just admitted without any scruples that he wanted to eat him, Xie Shili’s heart still beat involuntarily.

He forced himself to regain his composure.

The rational thinking that had been down for a long time finally came back online.

According to his previous experience of getting along with the high-level zombie, the other party usually used crystals from heads of other zombies as food and the nearest source of crystals…

Xie Shili instantly remembered the backpacks on the backs of the four mutated zombies, no matter the time and day, it was always full of crystals.

He turned his head and glanced outside the mall.

They have always obeyed the young man’s words, so they should still be waiting in the distance.

Xie Shili looked down at Ge Xiu and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat.”

Ge Xiu also remembered the pile of crystals he had collected into his backpack.

He slowly moved and was about to get up from the ground, but his knees did not obey his orders at all—Ge Xiu had consumed too much energy by absorbing the nuclei of the mutant zombie before, and he was still being affected by that almost impossible to resist frantic tormenting hunger, which was consuming his strength every moment. If he hadn’t been fighting with his bodily instincts all the time, he might have already rushed towards Xie Shili again.

Such struggle also consumed energy.

Ge Xiu sat back on the ground with a plop.

He raised his head and looked at Xie Shili:

“Eat.”

…Okay.

Xie Shili felt helpless, he bent down, put his arms under the other’s legs and hugged the slim young man in his arms.

He was really thin.

As he picked him up, he was so light and weightless as if there was only bones in his body. It was almost unbelievable that he was able to lift a huge mutant zombie with one hand and crush the skull of a durable mutant zombie with his bare hands.

Xie Shili couldn’t help feeling a little dazed.

He walked towards the outside of the mall, leaving the messy remains of the battle and blood behind him, but just as he was about to walk out of the store, he felt his clothes being pulled.

Xie Shili looked down into his arms.

The pale young man looked up at him, he stretched out his hand to pull on his black sweater that had been torn in several places, showing the holes to Xie Shili.

His face was expressionless:

“…eat…”

——Xie Shili began suspecting that he was using the word “eat” as a modal particle now.

He shook his head helplessly: “Come back later and pick another one?”

Ge Xiu nodded.

He buried his face in other’s clothes, sniffing deeply the fragrance of his reserve food, trying to satisfy his hunger in this way.

Xie Shili’s walking speed gradually accelerated.

The young man rubbed against his chest, causing his heartbeat to become irregular and making his heart pound as if it was hitting his ribs and trying to jump out of his chest. The intense sound of blood rushing in his ears was extremely distracting, making it so that he couldn’t concentrate at all.

He gritted his teeth, feeling that the place where he was licked and bitten just now was burning hot again.

Number One, Two, Three and Four stood obediently on the corner of the street not far from the shopping mall.

They watched their boss being carried out of the shopping mall by his human reserve food. Although their intelligence was not high, they also knew that something unexpected must have happened, so they all hurried over, nervously looking at Ge Xiu who was held in Xie Shili’s arms.

Ge Xiu jumped out of Xie Shili’s arms.

He was still hungry and weak.

Ge Xiu signalled for Number One to hand over the backpack he was carrying.

Xie Shili paused.

He the sensation of his arms being empty made him feel a little uncomfortable for a moment——he forcefully dispelled this strange feeling from his heart, lowered his eyes, and looked at the high-level zombie who was trying to fill his stomach.

Ge Xiu had already ripped open the backpack and was stuffing the nuclei into his mouth as quickly as possible, one handful after another, chewing nosily.

Compared with the nuclei of the mutated zombie he ate just now, every nuclei here, be it deeper or lighter colour, seemed bland and tasteless as wax

Ge Xiu was a little troubled.

Even if he choose those crystals that were darker in colour and tasted very delicious to him before, he feels that they were simply not as dull, but still didn’t taste good.

……what should be done.

Ge Xiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He looked over at Xie Shili, staring at him closely while stuffing the nuclei into his mouth.

Xie Shili’s heart tensed up.

That pair of chilling inhumanly pale eyes stared at him intently, with gazes were so burning that it seemed to be peeling him down to the bones. As if there was an extremely instinctive and ferocious desire spreading under the cold eyes, the gaze so focused that it seemed as if everything, but him, ceased to exist in this world.

Xie Shili felt so restless under such gaze, even his mouth was dry.

——Not knowing why, but he always felt that the other could see through the secret desires hidden in his heart, even if he himself refused to admit it, rejected thinking about it and didn’t even dare to express it, this feeling made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Ge Xiu finished the whole backpack.

He beckoned at Number Two, took off the backpack that the other was carrying, and ate up the second bag of crystals.

Ge Xiu raised his hand and pressed his still flat stomach.

The perturbing restless hunger had calmed down a little and the desire to devour that could drive a zombie crazy was finally no longer so terrifying.

But he was still hungry.

So Ge Xiu beckoned to Number Three.

The munching crunching sound echoed in the street and Ge Xiu soon finished the third bag.

Soon, Ge Xiu devoured all of the three big bags that he collected throughout the past.

And he was finally full.

Ge Xiu waved to Number Four.

He placed the fourth backpack on his lap, then carefully picked out the darkest ones and piled them in a small pile on the ground.

After picking, Ge Xiu threw the remaining crystals in the backpack to Number One to Three, ordering them to divide these by themselves.

This was the first time that the four zombies were allocated so many crystals at one time. They let out a pleased growl from their throats and happily began to compete with each other.

Immediately afterwards, Ge Xiu gathered the crystal stones on the ground together, and then went back towards Xie Shili’s direction.

Xie Shili was taken aback.

He pointed to himself: “Give it to me?”

Ge Xiu nodded.

Xie Shili shook his head: “The crystals of zombies are not helpful to human beings.”

At the beginning of the end of the world, some people realised that gray crystals could be also found in the heads of zombies. Coupled with the appearance of unscientific existences such as supernatural powers, they were delighted and thrilled thinking that the nuclei could upgrade their powers and strengthen them just like in apocalypse novels, so many humans tried to obtain energy by eating nuclei regardless of their own safety, but the result was not as optimistic as in the fiction.

The humans who tried to eat nuclei were infected with the virus and also became zombies.

Zombies may be able to become stronger by eating the crystal nuclei of other zombies, but humans cannot. Upgrading abilities can only be carried out through continuous training and challenging their limits.

The youth pushed the nuclei forward again.

Xie Shili was a little surprised by his excessive persistence this time.

He frowned, staring at the dark gray and black nuclei pushed to his eyes.

These were…. the crystals of mutated zombies.

Was there any difference?

Seeing that he still didn’t understand what he meant, Ge Xiu became restless.

He grabbed two nuclei and stuffed them into Xie Shili’s palm, then closed the other’s fingers forcefully, covering them with his blueish white cold palm, so that he couldn’t break free.

Xie Shili was stunned for a moment, but then he felt a slight heat coming from his palm, and something rushed through the meridians and bones to the depths of his body.

The supernatural power in his body instantly had refilled a little.

Ge Xiu let go.

Xie Shili stared at the two crystals in his palm. They were originally deep in luster, but now they had turned gray and washed out, their surface as dull as that of a regular stone.

He looked up at the young man in front of him in surprise.

……This?

Xie Shili picked up an ordinary gray crystal nucleus that fell to the ground during the fight between the four zombies, and tried to hold it in his hand, but nothing happened.

He turned his head to look at the pile of black spar, his eyes darkened slightly.

Zombies appeared first and then there came supernatural abilities. Unexpectedly, this sequence continued—only with the emergence of mutant zombies, human’s supernatural abilities could be further developed.

As for this point, Ge Xiu was a little more aware than Xie Shili.

Not only because he could see the movement of energy, but also because of the nuclei of the mutated zombie.

After eating the mutated zombie’s nucleus, Ge Xiu’s thinking became clearer, and it became easier to figure out how the system inside worked.

The crystal nuclei in the body of ordinary zombies also had energy, but they were way too small to be ingested only by eating, and the virus attached to the surface could infect all humans, so only zombies that ate nuclei by mistake could mutate and evolve.

And when the zombie evolved, the energy contained in its crystal nucleus would increase, once it increased to a certain level, humans could obtain the energy in it even without eating the crystal.

Ge Xiu stared at Xie Shili expressionlessly.

He knew that the exchange he proposed before was not because he gave too little, but because the other party had no idea how valuable what he gave was.

This must have been the reason why he didn’t let him lick before.

Now, his food reserve finally knew how to use these crystals.

This time he will definitely not refuse again!

Ge Xiu looked at the mutated zombie nuclei that he had picked out just now and piled up into a small pile, feeling a little heartbroken.

Fortunately, compared with the taste of his reserve rations, these crystals were no longer so attractive.

Ge Xiu stared at the human being in front of him with bright eyes, thinking in his heart—

where should he start?

Xie Shili: it’s ok, he can eat me.

Xie Shili: BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT BEING LICKED!

(but we all know his bottom line as as good as no bottom line whenever ge xiu is involved)
