Chapter 108: Zombie Identity Discovered

Chen Yunfei placed the basket on the kitchen counter and turned to walk into the living room.

He saw Qin Zhuo sitting motionless on the sofa, staring blankly out the window.

"Brother Qin?" Chen Yunfei walked to Qin Zhuo's side, raised his hand and gently patted him on the shoulder. "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

Qin Zhuo suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Chen Yunfei.

"I'm wondering where we should go after we leave the base, what we should do next, and whether we should find another base to join?"

"This definitely needs to be planned out carefully."

Chen Yunfei nodded, casually picked up a red apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and wiped it off under the hem of his T-shirt.

The apple made a crisp "crunch," and as he chewed, he said, "The flowers in the backyard are all in bloom, and the vegetables are growing just right, but we're leaving soon, and I'm really going to miss them."

Qiao Yue was engrossed in playing a game on her tablet when she heard Chen Yunfei's words. She looked up at him and asked, "Where's my sister? Isn't she with you?"

Chen Yunfei took a bite of apple and mumbled, "She's still watering the flowers in the yard. She really likes them. By the way, why is Xiaoyouzi suddenly interested in walking the cat? She's not usually this enthusiastic."

Qiao Yue didn't even look up, her fingers swiping rapidly across the tablet. "Then you should ask your brother Qin. This matter is definitely related to him."

Chen Yunfei looked at Qin Zhuo with curiosity, his eyes sparkling with inquiry.

"Brother Qin, what's going on?"

Qin Zhuo remained calm and took a sip of Sprite without changing his expression. "I refuse to answer."

Chen Yunfei wasn't angry. He shrugged helplessly and said to himself, "Mimi is quite pitiful. She was trained by you for an hour and was panting heavily. She had just returned to the house and hadn't even rested for a while when Xiaoyouzi dragged her to the yard again."

Hearing this, Qiao Yue stopped playing her game, looked up at Qin Zhuo, and rolled her eyes at him. "Mimi should have scratched your face with her paw just now, to stop you from messing with it like that."

Just then, Yu Xiang's energetic shouts suddenly came from outside the window.

"Mimi, we've only walked around the villa once, how can you be too tired to walk anymore? Don't try to slack off! Keep walking!"

Immediately afterwards, Mimi's very excited meows rang out.

"Meow meow meow!!!"

His voice was filled with grievance and protest.

Meow is suffering inside, but unfortunately I can't speak human language.

Hearing Mimi's pitiful cries, Qiao Yue glanced at Qin Zhuo, who remained expressionless as if it were none of her business, and shook her head helplessly.

"You've really done something terrible! Mimi's life is just too hard!"

At the same time, after successfully obtaining Youxiang's hair from Li Ruoyan, Ren Ze hurriedly headed towards the laboratory inside the base.

Inside the laboratory, everyone was busy but organized, with each researcher focused on their own experimental work.

When they saw Ren Ze walk in, they all stopped what they were doing and greeted him warmly, some even patting him on the shoulder with a smile.

Ren Ze had only been at the base for a day when he became quite popular, not only because his teacher was the renowned Dr. S, but also because of his outstanding abilities.

Ren Ze smiled and nodded to everyone, then politely asked one of them, "Excuse me, where is my teacher now?"

The man pointed to a rather secluded laboratory inside, saying, "The professor is conducting experiments in there."

Ren Ze politely replied, "Thank you."

After saying that, he strode to the door of the laboratory, skillfully entered the password, and with a "beep," the door slowly opened, and he stepped inside.

At that moment, Dr. S, who was focused on conducting an experiment at the lab bench, heard the noise, stopped what he was doing, and looked up at the door.

"Xiao Ze, you're here!"

Ren Ze walked up to Dr. S in a few steps, a hint of excitement on his face, and held up the sealed bag containing Yu Xiang's hair. "Teacher, I got the stuff."

A hint of surprise flashed in Dr. S's eyes, and he quickly reached out to take the sealed bag. "That's great! I didn't expect you to find an opportunity to succeed so soon after returning to base. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Ren Ze: "I happened to meet someone who was hostile to Youxiang, so I coaxed her by saying that I could find the secret that Youxiang was hiding. As soon as the woman heard that, she immediately agreed to help."

Dr. S nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked to the lab table. While tidying up the experimental equipment, he said, "I want to see what secrets this Yuzuru is hiding. Ozawa, come and help me with the testing. We need to get the results as soon as possible."

Ren Ze replied, "Yes."

He then quickly walked to the lab bench and began assisting Dr. S with various testing tasks.

The master and apprentice were completely absorbed in examining the DNA in Yu Xiang's hair.

Before I knew it, a night had passed, and the sky outside the window was gradually brightening.

Dr. S and Ren Ze had dark circles under their eyes, clearly indicating they hadn't slept all night.

However, their exhaustion could not conceal the barely suppressed excitement on their faces.

Dr. S gripped the lab report tightly, his eyes fixed on its contents, muttering to himself, "I never expected this. She wasn't human; she was a zombie."

Ren Ze, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "A zombie can actually live and communicate normally just like a human. This is beyond my comprehension; it's truly amazing!"

Dr. S suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming with greed and fanaticism. "This is the best experimental subject! Our ongoing 'immortality' research is just missing such a special test subject. With her, our research might achieve an unprecedented breakthrough."

As he spoke, his eyes became somewhat manic, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

Zombies that are like humans have already achieved immortality.

Upon hearing this, Ren Ze's eyes also became fervent. "Teacher, I will go and tell the lord to capture Youxiang. We absolutely cannot let her escape. She is the key to our research."

Dr. S grabbed Ren Ze's arm with such force that Ren Ze frowned.

“I’ll go with you. We absolutely cannot alert them when we try to capture Youxiang. Qin Zhuo and his group obviously already know her identity, otherwise they wouldn’t be so wary of us and on guard at every turn. We need to plan carefully to ensure the operation goes perfectly.”

We can't let such a good test subject get away.

His eyes revealed an eagerness, as if he was about to grab Yuka in front of him and begin his important research.

Without another word, the two hurriedly left the laboratory and headed towards the lord's residence.
