Chuze was surrounded by chaos, his hair a bit disheveled, frowning as he looked at the Zombie on the experiment table.
Dead again, dead again. The host simply could not withstand the vaccine; this kind of vaccine would kill all cells, including healthy ones. However, there were no animals that could resist the Zombie virus...
The secretary entered and was greeted by this scene, her heart aching.
She had followed Chuze for seven years, secretly in love with him for seven years, so she understood clearly how rational and self-controlled he was. She had never seen him show any expression, let alone lose his composure to the point of smashing things.
But recently, he had been working frantically from morning till night, barely sleeping for even an hour a day, and now he was like this.
"Ha~"
He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Tell her to leave."
The secretary replied affirmatively but hesitated for a moment before saying, "She said someone named Liu You'er asked her to pass on a message..."
One month later
"Xuan Mo, come help Grandma massage; my shoulders hurt so much."
"Okay~"
He was diligently massaging while telling jokes, making the old woman laugh until her face wrinkled up; it seemed this was the real him.
"Liu You'er sister, can you help me make a few more paper airplanes? By the way, when will you teach me how to make that paper lantern?~"
"Uh... just a moment."
Liu You'er felt a bit of a headache as the children around her were too noisy.
"Brother, please help me pick the fruit down..."
"Sister, you..."
"Ha~"
The two had almost fully integrated into the life of the oasis. One was weaving among the elderly, helping them with shoulder massages and back rubs, while the other was surrounded by children, learning domestic skills.
As for the brutal killings and scheming of the apocalypse? Heh, that seemed like a thing of the past.
The benefit was that Liu You'er clearly felt that the speed at which she was being eroded by the virus was close to zero. Almost every day was peaceful, with little desire for slaughter.
If that were truly the case, then staying here for a lifetime seemed like a good choice.
Just as she thought this, she shook her head. Truly, one is born in worry and dies in comfort; this thought was too dangerous.
Xuan Mo looked at those elderly people who were kind and gentle, yet acted childishly by secretly stuffing fruits into her hands, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Watching her being helplessly pulled away by those little girls, not knowing what they were doing, but whenever she returned, she always had an expression that was both exasperated and amused, her gaze soft.
Underground Base
Liu Xinxuan stood in an elevator that was as large as a classroom, fully armed.
This equipment successfully concealed her scent and Ability; even a Level Ten Ability user with strong Mental Power would not be able to detect her.
Behind her followed more than a dozen similarly armed individuals, all reeking of blood, some with skin resembling animal hide like Lisa's.
“Hiss~”
A woman with a seductive figure and enchanting looks, but with hair that resembled snakes, said, “Can the person we’re capturing have their arms or legs removed? I’ve never tasted half-Zombie before~ I’m a bit curious.”
As she spoke, her long tongue flicked across her red lips.
Liu Xinxuan coldly replied, “Of course~ W's order is just to keep her alive, understand?”
Upon hearing this, the woman let out a chilling laugh and stepped back.
“What about Xuan Mo?”
A muscular man, standing two meters tall with an expressionless face yet exuding a murderous aura, asked.
“Hmph~ Do as you wish.”
The man stroked his right arm, which was covered in green scales, resembling more of an animal’s limb, his eyes filled with hatred.
Just as he was about to press the up button, someone rushed over and stopped Liu Xinxuan.
“Sister! What do you plan to do with those people in the Oasis?”
Liu Xinxuan looked at the person in front of her, frowning slightly. “Didn’t the doctor tell you to clean up the failures? Why are you here?”
Liu Yue didn’t respond but continued, “Sister, they all have thoughts, souls; they are living beings!”
Liu Xinxuan frowned, a hint of malice flashing across her beautiful face.
“So what?”
Liu Yue was taken aback and said, "You used to... not be like this."
Liu Xinxuan, hearing this, became even angrier and replied, "Don't compare the me from your memories with who I am now! And don't you know? Those people are long dead. It was W Doctor who cloned them and altered their memories. They were never real; they were just fakes. What’s there to sympathize with? You should go back obediently, or else if the Doctor finds out you left without permission, you won't survive today!"
After saying that, she unhesitatingly pressed the ascent button.
Liu Yue looked at Liu Xinxuan's cold expression and took two steps back in disbelief.
He murmured, "I was wrong... I was wrong."
At this moment, the oasis was bathed in bright moonlight, peaceful and serene. Liu You'er only needed to sleep for two minutes each day now, and with Xuan Mo by her side, she didn't return to her space to sleep.
Xuan Mo frowned, puzzled. Logically speaking, one of the residents here should have a key that could be dropped into the river with his blood. But why couldn't his instruments detect it? Was there someone he hadn't seen yet? Or had the mechanism changed?
However, in just those two minutes, everything changed...
In the river channel, a group of figures slowly rose up, water splashing as it flowed off them into the river.
"Ah~ Fresh air! I haven't been on the surface for three whole years~" said a short man with lizard-like eyes.
"Haha~ There are still plenty of girls here for you to choose from~" said a tall, handsome man whose gaze was murky and whose skin was excessively pale.
"Ha~ Then I can feast on some fresh humans~" said Serpent Woman.
"Do as you wish, but make sure to catch Liu You'er!"
"Alright~ But first, I need to clean up my tail~"
Lan'er came out to collect dew when she suddenly saw a group of people emerging from the river. She hid behind a tree, covering her mouth in fear of making a sound, but then heard someone whispering behind her, "Sweetheart, who are you spying on~"
Xuan Mo suddenly sat up in bed, looking warily outside.
For some reason, he couldn't sleep today. He glanced at Liu You'er, estimating that she wouldn't pay him any attention, so he decided to go out for a stroll.
"Ah~"
A scream echoed, and Xuan Mo frowned. Just as he took two steps away, he noticed that Liu You'er had vanished. Upon closer inspection, he found the wall's color was somewhat irregular.
"Lizardman?!"
He rushed outside when suddenly a gust of wind struck him. He quickly dodged, and the ground beneath him shattered. A man over two meters tall glared at him and said, "Your enemy is me!"
Meanwhile, Liu Xinxuan looked at Liu You'er with her eyes closed. The hatred in her gaze made those accustomed to bloodshed around her take a step back in fear.
"Hmph~ You've finally fallen into my hands!"
Saying this, she forcefully inserted a syringe into Liu You'er's neck.
"Don't hurt Sister Liu You'er!"
"Round, don't go!"
The little boy who had been fed rabbit meat charged towards Liu Xinxuan, shaking his small fists in anger.
"Poof~"
Two minutes passed.
Liu You'er felt something dripping onto her face, carrying a familiar scent. Half-opening her eyes, she saw Round being pierced through the heart by a hand, looking utterly shocked.
"Ah~~~"
A heart-wrenching cry echoed as the owner of that hand suddenly flung Round's gradually cooling body away, striking the head of a woman who was crying out.
"Bang."
The crying abruptly ceased.
The entire world fell silent, only the sound of the hand's owner snorting coldly could be heard as they took out a handkerchief, elegantly wiping the blood off their hands. Looking down, they chuckled, "Oh~ You're awake, but you can't move your body, right? Don't worry, the drug inside will keep you asleep for a day."
Liu You'er stared wide-eyed at that little life that had been so lively just a minute ago, always following her around.
"Ah ah ah~"
Not far away, Xuan Mo was entangled by four or five Ability users, unable to break free. The cries of the residents made it impossible for her to concentrate, and she was covered in wounds.
Meanwhile, she looked on in disbelief at these demons wreaking havoc.
What was once a pure land now felt like hell; cries filled the air, and flames blazed brightly.
"They are all ordinary people!"
A stream of blood tears flowed from Liu You'er's eyes as she gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Ha~"
Liu Xinxuan kicked Liu You'er aside and said happily, "Feeling sad? Ha~ You've fallen for her in just a month? How hypocritical. Just watch closely, ha~ It's not over yet!"
After saying that, she turned around coolly and said, "Since she wants to see, let's pile those corpses in front of her and let her have a good look~"
Liu You'er watched as the corpses piled up before her, each one familiar to her, each one radiating the greatest kindness towards her. They hadn't done anything wrong; why...
Lan'er, Round, the grandmother who always secretly gave her fruit, the sister who patiently taught her needlework, the old man who always cheated at chess...
"Hey, she looks pretty good~ Can I play with her first?"
The Pale Man seemed to suddenly discover something new, looking at Liu You'er with great interest. He was still covered in Lan'er's blood, making Liu You'er's nose twitch.
"Hehe~"
He chuckled a couple of times, regardless of whether he received an answer. He directly picked up Liu You'er’s upper body and sniffed her scent with delight, saying, "Smells nice, not like a Zombie~"
Liu You'er rested her head softly on the man's shoulder, coldly observing Lan'er's torn clothes and the terror and despair in her eyes. The only remaining black eyeball was visibly being consumed by blood-red.
In that instant when it completely changed color, all emotions vanished from her face. With a slight movement of her fingers, a faint yellow liquid began to flow from the pinhole on her neck...
