In the suburbs, Liu Yue stood in a room, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, he twitched his nose and walked to the corner of the wall, where he discovered a piece of clothing stained with Zombie blood. Although it wasn't his sister's blood, he felt relieved; however, he couldn't shake the feeling that the scent on the clothing was familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.
He furrowed his brow for a long time before finally recalling that the smell of blood on the clothing was the same as that of the Second-Level Zombie in the warehouse!
This meant that this piece of clothing belonged to his sister! Judging by the amount of blood on it and the piles of flesh scattered in the warehouse that day, that Zombie must have met a gruesome end at his sister's hands, torn to shreds...
"So exciting, right!!!"
Liu Yue was now completely exhilarated, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty red light.
Oh, wait, that entire Zombie, he thought happily: Hahaha~ As expected of my sister, she tore apart the Zombie that bullied him~ That Zombie is lucky to have met her! Hmph!
Unfortunately, his joy lasted only three seconds before he fell into despair again. He suddenly remembered that although his sister had saved him, she didn't wait for him to wake up before getting busy with other things. This meant that whatever she was doing was more important than him! Frustrating! When he sees her again, he must... uh... definitely... uh...
Sigh~ Forget it, let's just forgive her.
He silently squatted in the corner drawing circles when suddenly startled, hurriedly rummaging through his pockets. Finally, after pulling out a delicate little pendant, he let out a long sigh of relief and held it tightly in his hand, afraid of losing it.
An Experimenter looked at Wei Yuan who had returned and quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying, "The Electrotherapy Machine is set up. However, isn't this for treating cancer? What does it have to do with Liu You'er?"
Wei Yuan glanced at him and replied teasingly, "What do you think?"
A Researcher looked sympathetically at Liu You'er but said nothing more; instead, he silently reassured himself: she is a Zombie, not a human; she can endure this. It's fine! It's fine!
Just as the Researcher returned to his seat, they heard Wei Yuan's somewhat cruel voice: "According to the previous dosage, mix the Mutated Zombie Virus into the medication. When the energy level is about to peak, activate the Electrotherapy Machine and proceed with radiation therapy to kill off her newly generated cells!"
The researchers exchanged glances; they couldn't understand why they needed to go through such trouble to inject mutated Zombie toxins into a subject when they were already close to concluding their research data and could simply proceed with dissecting the specimen. After all, these mutated Zombies were precious resources obtained at great cost.
Unfortunately, no one dared to voice any doubts.
The virus was injected back into Liu You'er’s body; the massive toxins destroyed her brain's last line of defense. The pain made her body want to curl up, but due to the Iron Shackles, she couldn't do so and could only shake her head wildly in struggle. The exclusive roars of Zombies echoed continuously, making Wei Yuan laugh.
He observed the screens on both sides of the control panel and pressed a black button saying: "Radiation therapy; set the Electrotherapy Machine's power to maximum! Increase the Sedative dosage by another half!"
Suddenly, the lights in Liu You'er's room flickered on and off as her body began to convulse violently. Her already pale hair turned completely snow white without a trace of black hair left; her eyes turned bright red and even began to bleed black blood.
She felt as if she had been pulled into another space, her mind in a haze, images appearing one after another. First, there was a little girl with bright eyes teasing a small bun in a cradle. Then, there were scenes of her parents taking the girl and the small bun to an amusement park, followed by the girl jumping in anger at her younger brother. After that, there was a girl saving a boy who was being beaten up...
Memories flashed before her like a revolving lantern.
Finally, after the girl arrived at the base, the images pressed the off button, leaving only darkness...
Wei Yuan watched as Liu You'er’s brain began to be infused with toxins, muttering to himself, "Strange, who injected you with this half-finished vaccine? My vaccine can only allow my brother to retain a bit of emotion."
However, the vaccine injected into Liu You'er allowed her to retain her brain completely and even developed her neural connections to some extent! With such capability, no one else could achieve this but him.
His expression darkened as he thought, "It seems I need to check your data."
Looking at Liu You'er, whose eyelids drooped and showed no reaction even upon hearing sounds, Wei Yuan manipulated the keyboard for a while. A crack appeared in the glass wall, expanding until it formed an archway large enough for someone to pass through before stopping.
He did not rush in but locked the door leading to the researcher's room first. Then he put on a mask and entered with a scalpel, tweezers, needle, thread, and a chip about the size of a fingernail.
He cautiously made a cut on Liu You'er’s face with the knife and noticed that she didn’t even move her eyeballs. He then moved behind Liu You'er and carefully made a two-centimeter incision on her nape before placing the chip inside.
Since zombies' brains are more fragile than humans', and Liu You'er was too valuable for him to trust anyone else, he had to perform the surgery himself. After three hours of surgery, he completed the final step by suturing the wound.
Fortunately, Liu You'er had been very obedient during this time and hadn’t moved at all, allowing his operation to proceed exceptionally smoothly.
He patted Liu You'er’s head with satisfaction, his gaze lingering on her white hair for less than a second before returning to the Control Room. The glass wall returned to its original state the moment he entered.
Suddenly, the red light in the Control Room lit up again. He slowly touched his ear where his Bluetooth headset was and pressed his fingerprint against it. At that moment, the green light on the headset turned red (a setting Wei Yuan had configured himself), and a stiff mechanical female voice transmitted through Bluetooth into his ear.
"Report: 100 kilometers from the base, a Third Level psychic control Zombie is leading over ten thousand Common Zombies, around one thousand First-Level Zombies, about one hundred Second-Level Zombies, and two Third-Level Zombies towards the base. It is estimated that they will arrive in 35 hours at the earliest and 70 hours at the latest."
Wei Yuan scoffed upon hearing this: "Send a Military Helicopter; just blow them away."
The computer paused for a second before continuing: "This Third Level psychic control Zombie is suspected to be controlling experimental Zombies. Confirm kill?"
"Oh?"
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and lazily replied: "Forget it; no need to kill it. Delete this message and do not notify base defense. I want to conduct a proper test. Hehe~"
The computer paused again for a second before responding: "Record deleted. Is there any other instruction?"
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and calmly said, "Clean the bathroom thoroughly, then give my brother a good wash and change him into clean clothes."
"Understood."
Soon after, the Bluetooth headset's light turned red. At the same time, a cleaning robot entered the bathroom, looking almost indistinguishable from a human.
After it wiped away the bloodstains in the bathroom, it swallowed the cloth.
A buzzing sound similar to that of a washing machine came from within its body. After a while, a clean cloth reappeared in its palm. There was a small pocket at its abdomen, and it opened its stomach as if it were a small door, revealing an empty space inside.
The robot disposed of the shattered bones into its stomach and then closed that door, burped, and walked out of the bathroom.
As it exited, it happened to encounter C Researcher, so it politely greeted him before continuing on its way.
C Researcher turned to look at the robot, clicking his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself: "Indeed, no one is perfect. Although Wei Yuan has some flaws in his personality, his talent in mechanical manufacturing and biological research is truly unparalleled!"
Meanwhile, the robot entered Little Zombie's room and carefully helped him wash up and change clothes before entering standby mode, waiting for Wei Yuan's next command.
Wei Yuan looked at the densely packed red dots on the computer screen that were rapidly approaching, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light as he said, "Hurry up~ I can't wait any longer~"
And Liu You'er remained silent even after hearing Wei Yuan's words, showing no reaction at all...
