[Host!!! Guess what I found out?]
“What?”
[The Zombie King is actually next to the female lead—and he’s become her follower.]
“You mean that boy next to her, protecting her like his own eyes, doing whatever the female lead says… is the Zombie King?”
Chen Xi was shocked. She recalled the boy’s appearance and asked 008 in confusion:
“That doesn’t make sense. The Zombie King is supposed to be bloodthirsty and irrational. And that boy looks so fair-skinned and clean—how could he be the Zombie King?”
[But in the novel, he really is the Zombie King, Meng Qingzhou.]
008 sounded puzzled: [Let me double-check.]
Not long after, Chen Xi heard 008’s excited voice again: [Ah! Host, I’ve found out!]
“Found out? Just say it already—don’t keep panicking me like that.” Chen Xi rubbed her ears.
[In the original story, Meng Qingzhou became the Zombie King after being attacked by a group of powered individuals. They nearly killed him, and his only younger sister was also harmed.]
[Then, half-dead, he was left behind. A group of zombies came to bite him, but unexpectedly, he didn’t die. Instead, he became the Zombie King.]
[Now, however, his sister is still alive. At that time, the female lead happened to be there and saved them.]
[So he didn’t turn into the Zombie King. Instead, he regards the female lead as his savior and became her follower.]
[And I’ve noticed something odd about the female lead too.]
After hearing this, Chen Xi asked curiously: “What’s odd?”
[I suspect the female lead has also transmigrated. Many events that differ from the original story are due to her actions.]
[For instance, on the day the apocalypse began, she didn’t go to the company—and she saved the Zombie King! Her behavior and mannerisms also differ from the book’s description.]
“That makes sense.” Chen Xi nodded thoughtfully. She had suspected the female lead might have transmigrated too.
In the original story, the female lead was gentle and mild. But the current female lead? A bit spoiled and reckless—obviously pampered since childhood.
[Moreover, in the original story, the female lead had no abilities. I don’t know why, but she awakened a water-based ability!]
“Yes, that’s true,” Chen Xi agreed.
[So, Host, what should we do?]
“What do you mean, ‘what should we do’? I transmigrated, and it’s only natural the female lead did too, right?” Chen Xi said indifferently.
“Besides, it’s not just us two. In short, this world has already been transmigrated into a sieve.”
008 wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a knock at the door.
Chen Xi opened it and found the female lead—Lin Jingxue—standing there.
“Xiao Xi, want to come out with me? Meng Qingzhou said a place nearby has a lot of zombies.” Lin Jingxue said excitedly as soon as the door opened.
“Sure, give me a moment.” Chen Xi nodded, changed her clothes, and went out with them.
Inviting others out to fight zombies had already become very common in the hotel.
Usually, if someone discovered a location swarming with zombies and couldn’t handle it alone, they would return to the hotel to find companions—after all, killing zombies earned them crystal cores.
Chen Xi had gone out with others before, and also several times with the male lead and his group.
She didn’t understand why the female lead always wanted to come with her.
Of course, Lin Jingxue had her reasons. From the moment she arrived at the hotel, she found Chen Xi mysterious. While she told others that Chen Xi had previously been just a hotel employee, now that the hotel had upgraded, she technically didn’t need her.
Yet she felt there was more to Chen Xi, so she wanted to get closer and see if she could find a way back.
More importantly, she liked Chen Xi’s personality.
Indeed, it wasn’t just that. The entire hotel was run by Chen Xi.
Lin Jingxue had initially hosted many guests and didn’t want anyone to treat her like an alien.
Chen Xi hadn’t planned to interfere with the male and female leads. She thought the story was already ruined and the world transmigrated like a sieve—why bother?
But she couldn’t resist 008’s constant whining in her head. If she didn’t complete missions, 008 would have to go through training or even get reforged.
Chen Xi sighed and reluctantly agreed to set up a meeting between the male and female leads.
That day, the female lead invited her to go rescue people. Chen Xi also invited the male lead along.
With Xu Yang and Aunt Xu as persuaders, the male lead quickly agreed, though he looked at Chen Xi with a meaningful gaze.
Chen Xi thought: Did I give away too much?
She originally intended to cooperate to build rapport, but when they all gathered at the door, the female lead saw the male lead approaching and stepped back in fright.
“I just remembered I have some things to do today, so I won’t go. Let Meng Qingzhou follow you guys.”
She said this and walked away without looking back.
