Honkai Star Rail: Reincarnated Across Lives, Loved by Them All Chapter 176 176: Timeline Differences

Qi Zhimu knew what Herta was talking about and didn't bla her.

When he first found her, she was in a state where she was relying entirely on her willpower to hold on; no matter how smart her brain usually was, it would have turned to mush.

Even he had been biased by his own preconceptions.

No wonder many buildings were covered in dust, including the hotel suite they stayed in last night.

From this, it could be determined that a significant amount of ti must have passed since the outbreak of the zombie virus.

The Zombie Eagles encountered on the way back to the Hospital were likely special mutations born from the passage of ti in this apocalyptic world.

"Without the protagonist of disorder to lead the way, we don't know where that evacuation point is. This is a bit of a problem," Qi Zhimu said.

"This coastal city is too large and has many ports. I'll have to trouble you to use the clumsiest thod and search them one by one..."

Herta looked helpless.

Even if Qi Zhimu could fly, finding it wouldn't be simple.

Not to ntion the scope of the search, the powerful zombies hidden in Grizzly City alone would cause so interference to their journey.

It would be even more troubleso if sothing that even Qi Zhimu found difficult to kill was born.

He couldn't just drop a powerful spell; what if he destroyed the evacuation point as well?

For so reason, Qi Zhimu might live, but she would certainly die.

"We must admit a fact."

Qi Zhimu looked at the dusty CT machine and lightly tapped the casing.

"The protagonist in the movie probably ran away with his daughter long ago. To find the port, we have to rely on ourselves."

"Mm..."

While the two were weighing whether to conduct a grid search, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded outside the corridor, accompanied by heavy breathing, cries for help, and the roars of zombies.

"Help!!"

The panicked screams drew closer and closer.

Qi Zhimu raised an eyebrow slightly; he didn't need to turn around to know it was the work of those three little Tails from earlier.

"Fools seeking death."

In the next second, three disheveled figures stumbled into the CT room door.

Seven or eight zombies in Hospital gowns followed closely behind, baring their fangs and claws as they prepared to pounce.

When those three saw Qi Zhimu, before they could even show an expression of pleading for help, a flash of lightning appeared before them.

The space in the CT room was already narrow, and the mont the lightning exploded, the oxygen in the air seed to be sucked dry for an instant.

Several thick arcs of electricity bit hard into the zombies, turning them into black ash.

At the sa ti, Qi Zhimu obviously didn't deliberately avoid those three guys.

An arc of electricity swept over them, blasting a deep pit in the ground. Debris splattered across their faces, cutting fine wounds.

"Ah!!"

The three were so scared they scrambled away, their legs going soft as they collapsed onto the ground. It was unclear if they were terrified by the zombies or intimidated by the lightning so close at hand.

"Bringing trouble to ... it seems you think your lives are too long."

A few arcs of electricity remained on Qi Zhimu's fingertips. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as if he were looking at a dead person.

"If it weren't for the technology backing you up, with your quality, you three would have lost half your lives to G-force before even going into space."

"Fine, I'll consider it an act of charity and send you on your way."

Qi Zhimu raised his hand, and the lightning gathered again, making the three look ashen-faced as they realized a fact—

The killing intent was real; he really would do it.

"Don't, don't kill us!"

The woman among them was trembling all over, her fear of death prompting her to scream involuntarily.

"I've seen disorder! I've seen it twice! I know where the evacuation point is!"

The lightning about to pour from Qi Zhimu's fingertips stopped instantly, and his gaze fell on the dirty, wretched woman.

However, the suffocating pressure did not decrease in the slightest.

"Oh? What's your na?"

"I... Isabella! My na is Isabella!" the woman answered tremulously, not daring to look into his eyes.

"Very well, Ms. Isabella."

Qi Zhimu narrowed his eyes.

"I hope your mory is better than your courage. If you dare to lie to ... I will cut a few gashes in you and hang you up high."

He reached out and made a cutting motion.

"Believe , the feeling of watching yourself being eaten bit by bit starting from your feet is definitely much more exciting than going to see your God directly."

Isabella shuddered violently, her face pale, and she shook her head desperately.

"I wouldn't dare! Absolutely not! I've really seen it! I rember the plot!"

"Then what is the current point in ti?"

Herta suddenly spoke, interjecting calmly.

"How much ti has passed since the start of the movie's plot?"

Isabella swallowed, trying to recall the surrounding environnt and the state of the zombies she had just seen, and stamred:

"I... I'm not sure exactly how long. There's no calendar... but looking at the damage to these facilities and the zombie mutations... at least three months have passed! When the protagonist left in the movie, the Hospital wasn't this ruined! It's definitely been more than three months!"

Herta nodded and looked at Qi Zhimu.

This matched their speculation.

Qi Zhimu jerked his chin towards the door.

"Alright, you're sowhat useful. Lead the way."

Hearing this, the other two n paralyzed on the ground woke up as if from a dream.

Seeing Isabella struggle to get up to follow that Virtual Substance Lifeform, they imdiately realized this was their only chance to live.

"I'm going too! I'm going too!"

One of the round-faced n crawled over on all fours, his face covered in tears and snot.

"I've also seen disorder and rember the plot! Take with you! I can help carry things! I can be a decoy... no, I can do manual labor!"

The other thin, tall man chid in desperately.

"I've seen it too! More people ans more security. In case... in case she rembers wrong, we can supplent!"

Qi Zhimu stopped, his gaze sweeping over the two with an unreadable expression.

Just when the two thought they would be struck dead by a bolt of lightning, Qi Zhimu suddenly laughed.

"That's fine. In case Ms. Isabella accidentally dies on the way, or her brain goes bad, at least there are two others who can provide so residual value."

The devilish words made the three feel cold from head to heel.

But they didn't dare to refute, and they didn't even dare to breathe. They could only nod their heads like quails with their necks shrunk.

As long as they could survive.

As long as they could leave this hell.

...

The group leaving the Hospital beca a bit strange.

Qi Zhimu and Herta walked at the very front, and the remaining three followed closely behind, for fear of falling behind.

Along the way, in order to keep these three from having any ulterior motives, Qi Zhimu didn't even need to deliberately establish his authority; the zombie hordes did the work for him.

Passing a crossroads, a large group of zombies was attracted by the sll of living people and rushed over frantically.

The three following behind were scared out of their wits and couldn't help but scream.

"Shut your mouths."
