Jiang Xue's steps immediately slowed down. There were frequent patrols here, so there shouldn't be any danger.

Thinking to herself, Jiang Xue didn't stop walking. But when she finally reached the person behind her, she was startled:

"Chu Shuo? Why are you here?"

The man had short, neat black hair and wore the same tracksuit as Jiang Xue. His handsome, sculpted face was striking, but his complexion was deathly pale with an unnatural flush.

Chu Shuo turned around stiffly, took a step forward, and hugged Jiang Xue tightly.

But Jiang Xue still carried an unpleasant odor, likely the scent of the zombie she had just killed. She pushed the man away in shame and anger.

"Hey, hey, let go..."

Yu Ling's expression turned slightly cold.

She did not sense any life force in the man.

If I'm not mistaken, Chu Shuo is the highest-ranking zombie king in the original owner's memories.

“Speak up, what are you doing here?” Jiang Xue asked again.

She had just seen the way the man looked at Yu Ling.

Those eyes were filled with resentment and venom, as if he hated Yu Ling to the extreme, which was why he had that expression.

"Jiang Xue..." The man's voice was hoarse and weak, as if it were about to dissipate. He seemed to be holding onto the person in his arms with all his might: "How could you be with her? She's a madwoman!"

Jiang Xue was taken aback, a deep sense of doubt rising in her heart.

She only learned of Chen Xiaoqing's existence after years of investigation, and this was the first time they had met. How could Chu Shuo know this researcher who had been holed up in the laboratory for so long?

"You know her?"

Yu Ling remained silent. She searched through the original owner's memories but could not find Chu Shuo's existence. How could this person... this zombie king know the original owner?

"She is the organizer of Project X, a renowned virologist, and the culprit behind this zombie crisis—Chen Xiaoqing… Xiaoxue, stop being soft-hearted towards humans, she must die."

"no!"

Chu Shuo's words deepened Jiang Xue's fear, as if an ice blade had pierced her heart, making it hard for her to breathe and causing her to tremble all over.

"You promised me you wouldn't hurt humans again!"

Seeing that Jiang Xue was angry, Chu Shuo stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.

He didn't know how to explain it to his sweetheart. He had learned from other intelligent zombies that Chen Xiaoqing was a complete and utterly insane researcher who would stop at nothing to create more powerful zombies.

Even he himself only evolved into a zombie king after consuming the mutated zombie cores released from various laboratories. Chen Xiaoqing's abilities are evident.

The system was still confused. Why would Chu Shuo, this love-struck fool who always followed the female lead around, say such things about the host... ptooey! He meant the original owner, that big villain.

Of course, Yu Ling had no intention of getting any help from the useless system; she was just thinking about how to get out of the situation.

Jiang Xue and this zombie king named Chu Shuo are clearly in a romantic relationship. If Jiang Xue and the zombie king really start fighting, who knows whose side she might take?

With that thought in mind, Yu Ling decided to leave.

However, before she could leave, Jiang Xue ignored Chu Shuo and turned away.

Chu Shuo turned to look at Yu Ling, his eyes revealing resentment and anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Yu Ling didn't care about the threat from such a lowly creature. She didn't argue at all and just followed Jiang Xue at a leisurely pace. She could sense from Chu Shuo that he wanted to cut off his own heart.

Damn it, just how many enemies did the original owner offend?!

In particular, this mortal body greatly limits his abilities. The original owner had some superpowers, but they were all crippled. In a real fight, he couldn't beat anyone. And he's only been here for less than a day!

She was truly exhausted, struggling to survive, and wanted to die.

(The dismembered zombies: You're too modest.)

"Xiaoxue, just trust me this once. She can create a potion that can evolve zombies. She's really dangerous..."

Chu Shuo's voice was still very weak, but he was still trying his best to explain.

Jiang Xue was in immense pain.

How could my lover be such a terrifying monster!

He actually wanted to kill her in front of her.

What about the places she can't see? Will they feed on human flesh and blood like other zombies?

Jiang Xue, a girl living in the apocalypse, was already cautious, so it was inevitable that she would overthink things at this moment.

"Xiaoxue...I..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Xue roared.

What's wrong with me?! Why am I hesitating? Her principles and bottom line must not be crossed!

"Stop talking. I will not agree. Even if Dr. Chen is guilty of heinous crimes, it should be handed over to the human community for judgment. It has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Xue's words stung Chu Shuo's heart, and he raised his voice in anger:

"You still see me as an oddball?!"

"You're a zombie, you're not suited to stay near the survivor base. You'd better leave now."

Jiang Xue remained resolute. Despite Chu Shuo's repeated rescues from danger and his meticulous care for her, they were ultimately not of the same kind, and she could not keep him.

"Okay...okay, I'll listen to you."

Chu Shuo took a few steps back, but his attitude didn't seem like he would give up easily. Yu Ling thought that he probably hated her to death and was probably thinking about how he wanted to find an opportunity to secretly kill her behind Jiang Xue's back.

Watching Chu Shuo's departing figure, Jiang Xue felt a pang of sorrow, but she could only suppress her grief. The greater good of the race always came first; personal feelings were always secondary to hers.
