Alice held her left arm, feeling something brush against her veins, causing a strong reaction.

The pain was indescribable, like being ripped out of one's heart and lungs.

Cheng squatted helplessly beside her, looking at her painful and ferocious face. In that instant, the little girl thought of many things, especially the powder pills that she had given to Ryan and Matt. She had already obtained some verification on Ryan, proving that the powder pills had a certain effect in helping the vaccine to break down the T virus.

As for Matt, when they separated, the wound on his arm began to heal slowly, but that didn't mean the virus had been eradicated.

Cheng Shuang could sense that when the researchers injected the T-virus into her, their repair skills completely blocked the virus from taking effect at the source, which gave the researchers the illusion that she was immune to the virus.

Basically, one-tenth of the repairman's skill output (two powder pills) can effectively curb the development of the virus in its early stages, thereby further eliminating it.

If she feeds Alice the powder pill at this moment, would it mean interrupting Alice's evolution, or would it further repair the negative effects of the virus on Alice and make the evolution more thorough?

The little girl had a fleeting urge to try it out, but of course, it was only for a moment.

She quickly shook her head, shaking herself completely awake.

If she actually did that, she would be insane. How would she be any different from those researchers who target humans and have no respect for life?

Although Alice is a character in a movie, she is now a real person in front of her, a temporary companion within her reach.

An attempt to save someone is fine, but if it's simply out of curiosity to verify something and thereby jeopardizes Alice's future, that's a terrifying idea!

Cheng Shuang let out a hard breath, seriously suspecting that the T-virus had affected her thinking ability, which was why she came up with such an unreliable idea.

The pink pill didn't come for nothing; Alice is her ally, not her enemy!

She must remember this.

Why harm others without benefiting yourself...

The little girl's eyes were deep. It wasn't about harming others for her own benefit. If she could unravel the secret of Alice's evolution, wouldn't she also be able to elevate the entire convenience store to a higher level?

From now on, they can make a living without having to rely on limited skills and a handful of cards.

After an unknown amount of time, Alice returned to normal. She suddenly looked up and their eyes met. She saw the darkness in Cheng's eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that!" Alice was covered in cold sweat. Her instincts told her that the little girl's eyes had been dangerous.

Cheng Shuang pouted, "I'm thinking about how I can replicate your success!"

"You know?!" Alice asked in surprise. She knew best about the changes in her own body. Her five senses and physical abilities had improved dramatically, and even... Alice raised her finger, and the small, scattered items on the table slowly rose into the air—controlled by thought.

"Yeah, I'm envious and jealous."

Despite Cheng Shuang's words, her eyes were clear, without the ugliness distorted by jealousy; she was simply staring blankly at the little things that had appeared out of nowhere.

Alice patted the little girl's shoulder. "Don't think like that, what are you envious of?!" Her smile was somewhat bitter. "Maybe I've already been turned into a monster!"

Cheng Shuang looked at her with disdain, tilted her head and spat, "Do monsters eat people? Do you eat people? Monsters don't have reason, do you? You and monsters are so different, you've successfully gained superpowers, and you're blessed with the female lead's halo, and you're telling me you doubt that you're a monster? Forgive my youth, but I can't accept this Versailles-style self-deprecation!"

For some reason, Alice was amused. Even though the little girl's face was flushed and she was furious, she just couldn't help but laugh.

Alice half-huddled around Cheng Shuang and patted her back even more affectionately, "Perhaps you're right!"

"What is 'maybe'? There is no 'maybe'! You should know how many people envy you for having superpowers, being able to protect yourself in this world, and even achieving your own wishes. How wonderful! That kind of indifference of being powerless and watching from the sidelines will slowly wear people down into numb and cold monsters over time!" The little girl lowered her voice to the last sentence, so softly that Alice would have definitely ignored it if she hadn't been so sharp-eared.

Cheng Shuang seemed somewhat disappointed, and Alice didn't know how to comfort her.

They hadn't spent much time together, but they'd been through a lot. Although she didn't know the child's past, she was willing to believe her and tried to continue believing. She didn't want her trusted friend to be sad or heartbroken. They still had so much to go on, so much to do.

"Come here, Shuang, I'll show you something good!" Alice decisively pulled Cheng Shuang out of the store. There was a BMW K1200R motorcycle parked there. The little girl couldn't recognize the brand of the motorcycle, but its wild and domineering appearance alone was enough to amaze her.

The child immediately forgot her previous worries and circled the motorcycle with a smile, her eyes crinkling. She looked up and whispered to Alice, "It's so beautiful! The lady is beautiful, and the motorcycle is beautiful too!"

Alice smiled, took a long stride, and mounted the motorcycle.

Cheng Shuang was so engrossed in watching the beautiful woman show off that he was suddenly pulled onto the motorcycle. He only heard two words, "Hold on tight!" before the motorcycle sped off.

The little girl hurriedly burrowed behind Alice and hugged her slender, shapely waist.

To escape the large number of zombies, the motorcycle was traveling at high speed. Alice deliberately slowed down when encountering a few scattered zombies in order to train Cheng Shuang's marksmanship.

Cheng Shuang's weapon was silenced, so he didn't have to worry about shooting attracting man-eating monsters in the distance. He practiced almost the entire way until the motorcycle stopped at a street corner.

Alice turned to Cheng Shuang with a serious expression and said, "There's something going on ahead."

Cheng Shuang tilted her head and looked over. She saw several layers of zombies gathered in front of the church in the distance. What was most terrifying was that she seemed to see the licker's figure nimbly peering into the church window.

"Is someone inside?" If there wasn't anyone, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of so many zombies.

Alice didn't deny it; her current dilemma was how to settle Cheng Shuang. Although the little girl also possessed supernatural abilities, they weren't offensive. Alice could tell she had some footwork skills, but compared to the tireless man-eating monsters, her skills were still insufficient to deal with the endless stream of zombies, let alone the Lickers.

"Where's your friend? The green-skinned kid. Let him keep you company." That kid is a bit strange, but he's not weak. His special ability is to generate electricity. It's better than leaving Cheng Shuang alone.

Cheng Shuang had a slight objection, so she raised her hand to offer her help, "I can help you! Besides, I can't always hide in a corner or behind someone else!"

Baby Bear: Forever!

Zombie: It can last forever!

Ghost Doll: It can last forever!

Dragon's Flame: You guys are like broken records! Ouch, who hit me... Okay, okay, it can last forever!
