"Disappeared? Is this the reward for saving you, training you, and treating your sister?"
In the vast, empty office, W Doctor sat behind a pure white desk, with a massive wall of liquid crystal screens behind him. Each display showed various situations from different locations, especially the numerous bases, almost none of which were overlooked.
Except for A City Base.
The doctor's cold voice showed no hint of emotional fluctuation, but Xuan Mo knew he was being threatened.
Furrowing his brow, a mix of anger and chill lingered in Xuan Mo's heart.
Save him?
Hmph~ Wasn't it just because dual-element evolvers like him were rare? Otherwise, he would have probably been dragged into the laboratory! As for training...
Is locking up thousands of us to fight each other your idea of training? If it weren't for Xiaoru, the first person I would have killed after getting out would definitely be you! But terrifyingly, this man seemed to read minds and could see through all your weaknesses.
The timing wasn't right; he had a tracking device implanted in his brain that could control an explosion. Unless he cut open the back of his head to forcibly remove it, doing so would surely cause him to bleed excessively and attract a horde of Zombies.
Even if he found a deserted place, with excessive blood loss and no timely treatment, he would likely be killed before even encountering Zombies.
"I was surrounded by the Horde in the city and barely managed to break out. After getting out, I discovered she was already gone. Why don't you just trigger the chip to explode? You might even kill her in the process—end of story."
W Doctor looked at Xuan Mo's indifferent expression and coldly tapped a few keys on the touchscreen keyboard. The screens behind him formed a large image showing Xuan Mo's face twisted in rage, his eyes red-rimmed, exuding an air of impatience.
"It seems we are not talking about the same thing."
Xuan Mo listened to W Doctor's calm tone, his heart gradually sinking into the Bottom of Despair, while his face still wore that charming demeanor, as if he looked down on the world.
"What do you mean? Just say it directly; I don't want to play guessing games with you, Doctor."
"If I found her once, I can find her again. But your urgency... is something only shown when one is about to lose someone important."
W Doctor looked at the still nonchalant Xuan Mo and coldly smiled before continuing, "Regardless of whether you have developed feelings for her over time, remember, only she might hold the secret to the antidote. Think carefully, sister, or just a Zombie."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo raised an eyebrow. He glanced at W Doctor without speaking and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.
That expression... isn't it the same one Liu You'er often makes towards him? When did he start to resemble her? Was the reason he desperately searched for her really as the Doctor said?
Then when did he...
"Go to A City Base now; the Anti-Zombie Alliance will be starting soon. Liu You'er will definitely be there. Find a way to re-implant a tracker in her. I will send someone to assist you."
At this moment, Xuan Mo's emotions were complicated and heavy. After hearing this, he turned and left, not wanting to stay even a minute longer.
"By the way, you don't need to visit your sister today; consider it a small punishment."
Xuan Mo paused but did not turn around. In less than a second, he resumed his enchanting demeanor and continued walking, though due to his clenched jaw, visible veins bulged on his forehead.
"Hmph~"
W coldly snorted as she watched his departing figure and picked up the internal phone.
"How's the memory modification going?"
The voice on the other end yawned lazily and confidently replied, "Don't worry, I've even used the serum. His memories are now completely jumbled; even I could mistake him. I believe it won't be long before he becomes exactly what you want~"
"Hah~ That's the best!"
A City Base
"Liu You'er, that is..."
"Bang~"
The mixture of two serums exploded, shattering the testing platform. Liu You'er was standing ten meters away from the platform, looking innocently at Chuze.
Chuze silently glanced at the black mark on the left side of her white lab coat and then looked back at Liu You'er.
"Uh, haha~ What's this? The power is quite impressive, hahaha~"
"Baking soda is blue."
Chuze pushed up his glasses, expressionless as he ignored Liu You'er's obvious embarrassment. His brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze was filled with helplessness.
"Come here."
Chuze's calm yet firm voice was impossible for Liu You'er to refuse. She could only obediently walk over, secretly cursing herself for being so timid, always captivated by beauty! (Liu You'er would never admit that her greatest fear as a child was making Chuze unhappy! Hmph!)
Dragging her feet, it took her three minutes to cover the ten meters. Chuze remained unbothered, quietly waiting for her to approach. It wasn't until she was less than two meters away that he stepped forward and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"Why didn't you say anything? Hmm?"
Liu You'er was taken aback by his words, looking completely confused as if she didn't understand what he was saying. Unfortunately for her, Chuze wasn't easily fooled.
"What colors can you see besides red?"
"…"
"What are you talking about? I just misheard you."
A muffled voice came from his chest, carrying a hint of petulance that almost made Chuze feel like he had returned to the past.
Ten years ago.
"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do! I just wanted to grab a piece of candy!"
Chuze sat quietly in his wheelchair, watching Liu You'er frantically pace around his room, which was now a complete mess. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Here’s what happened: Chuze had some candy that couldn't be found anywhere else, so Liu You'er kept pestering him for it. He told her to get it herself, and she went upstairs, only to discover that the jar of candy was on the top shelf of the bookcase.
So, she cleverly decided to climb onto a chair and then onto the desk to reach the bookcase. However, the bookcase wasn't secured to the wall and toppled over as she moved.
In her panic, she kicked a water cup, causing water to spill onto the computer, which sparked and startled her. She jumped onto the bed about a meter and a half away, while books from the bookcase fell all over the floor.
When Chuze entered, he saw his once orderly room in disarray, with Liu You'er looking as if the sky had fallen. It was amusing to him, but he wasn't used to showing emotions and could only maintain a calm expression.
And now, this was the result.
Liu You'er sat on the bed with an innocent look and said, "I... well, I really just wanted to get that jar of candy."
At that moment,
"Poof!"
Liu You'er looked at Chuze, who was laughing out loud in shock, feeling a chill run down her back...
"Are you laughing?!"
