Liu You'er looked at Lu Feng and hesitantly asked, "Do you... still remember the past?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's blood-red pupils contracted, and a strong killing intent erupted from him as he gritted his teeth and said, "It is unforgettable for a lifetime!"
Liu You'er was taken aback by his words filled with hatred and didn't know what to say. After all, she wasn't familiar with him. However, since her method had worked, it indicated that there was indeed something wrong with her. There must be something within her body that could suppress the mutation. What could it be? A genetic mutation? But if it were a genetic mutation, even if Lu Feng drank her blood, it should be useless.
Looking at Lu Feng's sinister face, Liu You'er suddenly felt that she might have made a mistake.
She frowned, unsure whether to tell Lu Feng that although he had retained consciousness, he had actually become a Zombie. While contemplating how to convey this to him, she heard him say, "I haven't mutated; it's because of your blood."
At his words, a trace of killing intent flashed through Liu You'er's heart. She regretted her recklessness. Although she had successfully proven that she indeed had the ability to prevent mutations, if Lu Feng betrayed her, what awaited her would likely be the pursuit of all humanity. She certainly did not want to be a lab rat.
Given this situation, she felt it necessary to let Lu Feng know that they were in the same boat!
Her gaze turned cold as she said indifferently, "You are no longer human; you are a Zombie now."
"Zombie? How is that possible? If I were a Zombie, then why would I still have..."
Lu Feng's eyes suddenly widened as he looked down at his hands. He saw that his hands were pale like those of a dead person; his nails had not only become extremely sharp but also gleamed with a black light...
Liu You'er watched Lu Feng, who was staring down and lost in thought, and suddenly began to miss Xiaomin. If she were here, Liu You'er wouldn't need to test things; she would already know what the person in front of her was thinking.
Suddenly, Lu Feng raised his head sharply and coldly stared at Liu You'er, saying, "Then what are you? An Ability user who can resist the Zombie virus? Or a researcher?"
Hearing his question made Liu You'er slightly displeased. In front of his astonished gaze, she transformed into a Zombie and said in a deep voice, "I am just like you; I just don't know why I can retain consciousness. I saw you about to mutate and decided to use you for an experiment. If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, remember: you'll die faster than I will!"
Lu Feng listened, wanting to laugh, but found his face stiff. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and coldly gazed into the distance, saying, "Thank you is too late. How could I betray you? I owe you a life. Once I take my revenge, I will follow your orders!"
After he finished speaking, before Liu You'er could respond, he turned and left.
Liu You'er watched Lu Feng walk away, her killing intent dissipating as she sighed helplessly.
Checking her energy, she discovered that half of it had vanished, nearly the same as when she had just broken through to Second Level! No wonder Lu Feng had directly advanced to First Level; it seemed he had absorbed her energy.
Suddenly startled, she hurried back to her space to check and found no changes. She let out a long sigh of relief; although she found it strange that the space hadn't shrunk, she didn't bother with it. Sitting on the bed, she began to eat Ant Eggs one by one.
Three hours later, after absorbing nearly two hundred Ant Eggs, Liu You'er's energy finally returned to normal, and her wounds were mostly healed.
She stretched lazily and washed herself with well water. Changing into clean clothes, she exited the space. Being cautious of the Little Zombie, she decided to return to the base first. Although A City Base was not large, it had previously been a prison. After being cleared out, all the weapons inside were retained. With some modifications made, its defensive power was strong enough that even if a Zombie reached Third Level, it would likely perish if it tried to force its way into the base.
Liu You'er felt she should stay at the base for a while longer. After checking her surroundings and confirming there was no one around, two cigarettes appeared in her hand. Although cigarettes were common before the apocalypse, they had become a luxury item in this new world; after all, few people would think of grabbing such trivial things while fighting over food.
Thus, every time they were produced, even at high prices, they would be snatched up immediately.
As she approached the base entrance, night had fallen. She felt no guilt as she said an apologetic word to that rooster. Just as she prepared to use her old trick to pass through the inspection, unexpectedly, the aggressive soldier from last time stopped her and said, "No need. You can go through."
"Huh?"
Liu You'er glanced regretfully at the trembling rooster in her space with her mind and then looked curiously at the soldier before stepping into the base.
Upon entering, she saw a Survivor knocked unconscious on the ground with a group of elderly people and children surrounding him and fighting over his belongings. Unfazed by their actions, she walked straight toward the C Zone gate without pausing for even a second to look at their frenzied expressions and greedy looks.
Entering the C Zone currency exchange center, she discovered that this pack of cigarettes worth 10 yuan before the apocalypse could be exchanged for 100 coins now. She exchanged for five packs initially and kept the rest for Yue Xingze so he could exchange them in B Zone; perhaps he could get even more in return.
Because Liu You'er was walking alone at night with a large sum of money, and the C Zone was dimly lit, with some alleys completely dark, it was normal for her to attract some flies.
She stopped halfway and soon three slightly plump men with lewd expressions appeared in front of her.
Liu You'er smirked slightly and said in a calm tone, "Is there something you need?"
The leading man, upon hearing Liu You'er's words, realized that she was not just an easy target but a prime catch.
With a lewd expression, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister, it's dangerous to walk alone at night. Why don't you give your cigarettes and money to your brothers, and we'll take you home? How does that sound?"
After saying this lewdly, he winked at the two men behind him, and all three laughed simultaneously, revealing their yellow teeth, which was extremely disgusting.
Liu You'er looked expressionlessly at the three brainless men in front of her who had no abilities. She couldn't even be bothered to roll her eyes and simply walked past them.
The leading man changed his expression when he saw that Liu You'er dared to ignore them. He reached out to grab her shoulder, but before he could touch her, a flash of white light occurred, and he fell unconscious.
The two men behind him trembled in fear when they realized they were trying to rob an Ability user. They quickly knelt down and repeatedly bowed their heads in apology. If they had known this woman was an Ability user, they wouldn't have dared to take on that fat man's job!
After bowing for a while without any response, they cautiously raised their heads only to find that there was no one in front of them! They hurriedly checked on the unconscious man and discovered he was lying on the ground foaming at the mouth and convulsing…
Liu You'er entered the apartment and thought she heard a cry for help. Listening closely, she realized there was nothing there. Frowning slightly, she stopped in front of a door on the first floor to check it out. However, just then, a noise came from upstairs, so she hurriedly went up without lingering. Little did she know that if she had insisted on opening that door earlier, she would have seen the unconscious Yue Xingze…
