Liu You'er felt as if she were in a sea of fire, the heat making it difficult for her to breathe, her willpower dissipating, and even moving her fingers felt incredibly challenging.
Her eyes darted around, trying to open them, but she found she simply couldn't.
Outside the transparent wall, a man was seriously observing Liu You'er’s condition through the wall, his hands constantly moving as he manipulated a complex keyboard. On both sides of the transparent wall were large screens that clearly displayed Liu You'er’s physical condition and thermal imaging.
The man's lab coat fit him snugly, unlike the usual disarray he exhibited. Behind him was an independent room of about fifty square meters, where four or five researchers were busy at their computers, occasionally wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
They had been working for two full days, and even if they added up the time spent eating, sleeping, and using the restroom, it was still less than eight hours. However, none of them complained. After all, the subject inside might be the only Zombie in the world with a human brain! If they could uncover the cause and develop a vaccine, they would be heroes to all humanity!
But right now, they knew too little about the virus. The only certainty was that it originated in Z Country. Initially overlooked, by the time people realized how fast it spread, it had already reached every corner of the globe.
However, this virus seemed to have some connection to a biological genius named Chuze from B City. Unfortunately, he had remained tight-lipped about it. Others were unsure of the true situation and didn’t dare to ask. Moreover, while Wei Yuan was formidable, he seemed to have a grudge against Chuze. The researcher who had invited Chuze to collaborate last time had mysteriously disappeared into some laboratory…
“Beep… Beep…”
Hearing the computer notification made all the Ant Face members excited. Then, a mechanical and cold female voice echoed from each computer.
“At this time, the A City laboratory is located 200 meters underground. Everything is normal. The Second-Level Zombie subject's indicators are below average; special energy has been successfully frozen; mental Barrier integrity is at 100%. The estimated escape probability of the subject is 1%. The experiment can begin.”
Upon hearing the computer's announcement, the man's lips curled into a pleased smile as he pressed a green button on the keyboard.
Liu You'er struggled in the sea of flames, trying to escape. Finally, she felt the temperature of the flames decrease and the pressure lighten; she could open her eyes. But when she saw her surroundings, she immediately panicked.
“Oh my god!”
She sat up in terror, bewildered by her surroundings.
At that moment, she found herself inside a volcano surrounded by fiery Magma. Sitting on a protruding rock meant she was temporarily safe; however, the heat was nearly turning her into a dried corpse!
Looking up, she noticed that the crater was over a hundred meters away from her. The surrounding rock walls were smooth with no openings or protrusions that would allow her to teleport away.
"Ah~"
Although her mind was still a bit unclear, it did not affect her recollection of yesterday's events. She only remembered that she...
"That's right!"
As she thought, her mind gradually became clearer, and yesterday's memories became vivid. She recalled that after being provoked by Wang Yan, that pretentious dog, she was attacked by the Little Zombie in the supermarket.
Upon further reflection, it seemed that Wang Yan was not provoking her but had already known about the Little Zombie's actions, so he was warning her?
Moreover, judging by what happened yesterday, it seemed that from the moment she was attacked, her thoughts became abnormal, and she completely lost focus. Could it be... she was drugged? Can Zombies be drugged? Even if she was drugged, when did it happen?
Liu You'er furrowed her brows in confusion: the Little Zombie did not attack her afterward; why was that? Did it not want to kill her? Did it not want to take her Core? Why did it come all the way from the supermarket?! To dig a hole in her stomach? To tear apart her blanket?
"Damn!"
Liu You'er felt like she had forgotten something very important, something that could help her make sense of all this. But speaking of which, who threw her into such a broken place! If they used a helicopter, there wouldn't be enough space to land; did someone carry her down here specifically to leave her?
Come on, Liu You'er! Wouldn't it be easier for them to just throw you down instead of going through all this trouble to roast you alive?!
Wait!
Liu You'er suddenly realized how foolish she had been. The highest temperature a human can withstand is 46.5 degrees Celsius, while the internal temperature of a volcano can exceed 650 degrees. Additionally, due to chemical reactions upon contact with air, temperatures can reach up to 1300 degrees!
Even if she were a Second-Level Zombie, she would definitely die in such temperatures. Not to mention that Zombies are even more heat-sensitive than humans! Even at Level Two, she could probably only endure temperatures similar to those of humans; after all, when the average temperature was 20 degrees Celsius, she already felt a bit hot.
So... this situation was clearly impossible. Therefore, there was only one explanation: she was once again in an illusion like during the last test. However, this time it was more advanced; even if she guessed it was an illusion, it would not help her escape from it.
She had only guessed half of it; another reason was that this time her mental Barrier had reached 100%, indicating that her Mental Power could no longer assist her.
Suddenly, Liu You'er had a flash of insight. Before losing consciousness, she seemed to have seen a man holding the Little Zombie? If that wasn't an illusion, then...
Liu You'er finally cleared her thoughts, quickly raising her head to look at the empty rock wall in front of her with a sharp gaze. Coldly, she said, "You're the one controlling that strange house, right? Why did you capture me? Hmph~ Are you really that interested in me?"
The magma in front of her began to bubble violently, as if it were about to erupt. Liu You'er felt a sense of unease, but she knew it was just an illusion, so she maintained a smile, appearing indifferent.
After a while, several magma balls emerged from the magma, floating up and down in the air as if they were provoking Liu You'er. However, she remained unfazed, not even raising an eyebrow. Eventually, the magma balls could no longer contain themselves and all smashed toward Liu You'er.
"Haha~ Not bad~"
Liu You'er looked up and realized she was actually in a white room. The first thing she noticed was the transparent wall in front of her. Outside the wall stood a tall man in a lab coat with distinct facial features, looking at her with great interest.
Unfortunately, his physique was too thin, giving off a sinister vibe. His eyes carried a sickly intensity that made her feel as if he had just crawled out of an ancient tomb, sending chills down her spine.
He lazily addressed Liu You'er, saying, "Do you know? If you had dared to move your eyes just now, even if only slightly closed, I would have gouged out your beautiful eyeballs and turned them into specimens. What a pity you didn't give me that opportunity."
Liu You'er frowned slightly as she looked at the seemingly innocent researcher with a tone full of grievance, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Her gaze slowly shifted to his name tag and saw his name: Wei Yuan!
