Once this incredible thought was born, it started to spread uncontrollably.
Ji Ruxue couldn't help but recall her first encounter with the zombie.
Unlike other zombies who only knew how to crazily bang on doors or scratch them with their fingers,
Ji Ruxue remembered that when she first saw this zombie, it turned the doorknob first, which meant it originally knew how to open doors!
Because the bedroom was locked, it used a crowbar to pry open the lock!
Previously, Ji Ruxue was too hungry and terrified to notice this.
Now, recalling the events, she realized how unusual it was for a zombie to use a crowbar.
In Ji Ruxue's memory, these ordinary first-level zombies, transformed by being bitten, were like beasts with only a bloodthirsty instinct, with no concept of using tools.
It was impossible for them to directly use a crowbar to pry open a door after failing to unlock it.
Furthermore, not only did this zombie not devour her directly, but it also mixed milk powder in a bowl to feed her; this was simply defying all logic.
Ji Ruxue had seen that even the most resilient warriors, after being infected and transformed into zombies, could only become bloodthirsty beasts.
As a former Empress of the Human Race, Ji Ruxue had seen countless zombies.
But she had never heard of a zombie prying open doors or feeding milk to a baby.
Today it even changed her diaper; was there anything more outrageous than this?!
These abnormal situations made Ji Ruxue even more convinced of her hypothesis.
The strange zombie before her definitely retained its previous human consciousness!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have survived until now; she would have been torn to shreds long ago.
At that moment, Ji Ruxue felt extremely excited, as if she had discovered a new continent.
In her previous life, she had seen a lot and encountered various powerful zombies and other creatures.
But it was the first time she had met one transformed by a zombie virus that could retain human consciousness.
Only the human will could suppress that bloodthirsty instinct.
However, wait a minute…
This zombie in front of her didn't look... like a woman...
The Empress herself actually got her diaper changed by a man?!
Ji Ruxue widened her eyes and finally came to her senses.
Realizing that her body had been completely exposed, she became very agitated.
To know, in her past life, she hadn't even touched a man's hand.
Even in the apocalypse, Ji Ruxue had no intimate contact with the opposite sex.
The result was that she never imagined her lifetime of purity would be destroyed by a diaper.
For a moment, Ji Ruxue felt like crying but had no tears; she didn't expect to encounter so much bad luck after being reborn.
But after a moment, Ji Ruxue's expression returned to normal.
Forget it, forget it...
In her battle with the Insect Race Queen, she should have fallen, and it was already a blessing to be reborn.
Moreover, her life was saved by him; being alive now was already an incredible stroke of luck.
After figuring this out, Ji Ruxue no longer cared about it so much, especially since she was now just a baby, not the revered Empress she once was.
Ji Ruxue looked at Lu Chuan, who was earnestly changing her diaper, and felt a flutter in her heart.
In the apocalypse, humanity and morals had long since collapsed.
So-called order had vanished into thin air.
Ji Ruxue, struggling in the apocalypse, had long seen how humanity could deteriorate to its lowest point.
For those surviving in the apocalypse, survival was paramount, and they would do anything to stay alive.
Selling friends and family, feeding those close to you to zombies.
Theft, prostitution, deceit, and betrayal were commonplace in the apocalypse.
In her past life, Ji Ruxue had suffered a lot and only gradually adapted to the harsh post-apocalyptic world through those hardships.
But the zombie before her, focused on changing her diaper, made Ji Ruxue feel a glimpse of the humanity that existed before the apocalypse.
Could the zombie see her as his daughter?
At this thought, Ji Ruxue's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but imagine a tragic story in her mind.
Perhaps the zombie had a beloved daughter before the apocalypse, but human life was like grass in the apocalypse.
Facing the tide of bloodthirsty zombies, hardly one in ten humans survived.
Especially in the early stages of the zombie outbreak, for ordinary city dwellers, there was hardly any hope of survival.
Most likely, this zombie's daughter died after the apocalypse began, but he still remembered her in his mind.
That transcendent parental bond led this inherently bloodthirsty zombie to see her as his daughter.
This was why, upon seeing her, it showed a gentleness different from other zombies.
All the things this zombie did for her were probably things he had once done for his daughter.
Even after turning into a zombie, he couldn't let go of his daughter…
Seeing Lu Chuan, now stiff and transformed into a zombie, still clumsily changing her diaper,
Ji Ruxue felt a mixture of empathy and pity for him.
Imagine a human who once had a happy family suddenly facing the apocalypse.
Everything familiar turned strange, and he himself became a bloodthirsty zombie, losing his beloved family.
The saddest part was that, even after losing everything, the zombie still retained human consciousness, dead yet painfully alive.
He continued to live alone in this ravaged, already ruined city.
Wandering with no one to truly connect with among the zombies.
Because he had the consciousness of a human, he couldn't allow himself to live every day in the muddled frenzy of bloodthirstiness like other zombies.
Yet, because he became a zombie, he could no longer reintegrate into human society.
He could only watch as those once familiar humans pointed weapons at him, their eyes filled with disgust and hatred.
Whether as a zombie or human, there was no place for him to belong.
He seemed like the loneliest person, isolated from this world.
This world was vast and expansive, yet he couldn't have a single companion to walk alongside him.
Such an experience of walking alone through the world made life feel worse than death.
Ji Ruxue looked at the zombie before her, silently sighed.
Before becoming the Human Empress, she was just a pure and kind-hearted girl, with her own soft sides.
Since you've taken me as your daughter, then I, the Empress, announce.
From now on, you are my zombie dad.
