The Zombie Empress Builds Infrastructure in the Apocalypse

After Fan Xin was forced to self-destruct, she was reborn back to before the apocalypse descended. Unexpectedly, even after rebirth, she was still a zombie. Unwilling to repeat her previous life...

Chapter 80

It's getting dark.

One night and one day have passed since Xiang Xueqian left here.

It was already difficult to conceal the fact that Xiang Xueqian had left, and being able to keep Xiang Xueqian for a whole day was beyond Professor Leng's expectation.

This is also thanks to Wen Xiaoxiao, who over-reliant on and trusted the zombies with implanted chips.

Professor Leng saw that it was almost time, so he opened the door and saw Dr. Jiang standing at the door looking at him with a smile.

"Good evening, Professor." He peeked in from the doorway and saw a human-shaped bulge in the bed's quilt. "Is your apprentice still sleeping?"

Professor Leng came out, closed the door, and said calmly, "Be quiet, don't wake him up."

Dr. Jiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Professor, you are so kind to your apprentice. It's just a data collection. How long have you been resting?"

Professor Leng walked around him and headed towards the observation room: "If you're envious, I can ask Dr. Wen to hand over the data to you next time."

Dr. Jiang quickly followed Professor Leng's pace: "Forget it, I don't have a master who can stand in front of me and let me slack off."

They arrived at the observation room one after another.

Wen Xiaoxiao was already checking inside, and Professor Leng and the other person changed into antibacterial suits and walked in.

Professor Leng followed Wen Xiaoxiao to examine the case, and Dr. Jiang picked up the notebook beside him and looked through it.

This was recorded by the psychics under Wen Xiaoxiao. It was very irregular and only recorded the duration of the child's rejection reaction.

He frowned and said, "The rejection reactions that occurred in the afternoons are getting longer and longer..."

After Wen Xiaoxiao finished the examination, she frowned and asked, "What went wrong? This shouldn't happen. How could the chip implant cause such a strong rejection reaction?"

Professor Leng opened the child's eyelids and found that the child's pupils had gradually dilated, his body twitched from time to time, and his expression was very painful.

"Maybe his health condition is too bad."

The health of the experimental subjects will also directly affect the experimental results, and what Professor Leng said is also very likely.

Wen Xiaoxiao's expression turned grim: "But it's hard to even find a child now, let alone a healthy one."

She can indeed resurrect a person, but she cannot change that person's physique.

She had also examined the child's condition. With such a strong rejection reaction and no other abnormalities, it must be the result of physical constitution.

In this way, even if she resurrected the child, the experiment would not be completed.

Wen Xiaoxiao's face was gloomy: "We can only ask them to go out and find a few more children."

Wen Xiaoxiao had used Professor Xie and Li Tong to implant chips before, but both attempts failed. Wen Xiaoxiao decided to follow her teacher's advice and start with the children.

Wen Xiaoxiao took off her gloves and walked out.

Professor Leng narrowed his eyes and asked, "What should we do with this child now?"

Dr. Jiang stood aside, his eyes fixed on Professor Leng, as if he could see through him.

Wen Xiaoxiao walked to the door and turned back: "Don't waste it, feed it to the zombies."

She rubbed her brows tiredly. "You two handle it. I'll have them set off now to find the experimental subject as soon as possible. Everyone, take a good rest during this time and prepare for what's next."

She suddenly thought of something and asked Professor Leng, "Professor, ask your apprentice to come to me this morning. I need to check the data he did earlier."

Professor Leng nodded: "Okay."

After Wen Xiaoxiao left, only Professor Leng and Dr. Jiang were left in the observation room.

There was also a child on the bed whose body was twitching from time to time and whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

Seeing this, Dr. Jiang yawned and said, "Let's go, Professor. The child is still alive. We'll deal with him after he dies."

Professor Leng said calmly, "It should only take another hour. Wait here for a while."

Dr. Jiang's face turned green. "An hour's wait? Wait by yourself. I'm leaving now!"

Dr. Jiang turned and left, leaving Professor Leng alone.

Professor Leng stood by the bed, silently watching the child who was twitching from time to time.

Even in a coma, the child was in extreme pain. His breathing was weak, but he was breathing hard, trying to absorb the air that would keep him alive.

Professor Leng slowly raised his hand and covered the child's slender and thin neck. He closed his eyes, veins bulged on his forehead, and he exerted force with his hand, and there was a click.

The skinny child was completely unresponsive.

Professor Leng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He took a step back and breathed heavily, as if he was the one who was short of oxygen.

He looked at the motionless child on the bed, tears glistening in the corners of his eyes, and he fell to his knees.

"sorry--"

This time, Wen Xiaoxiao's experiment had a success rate of 90%, which was very, very high. Professor Leng did not dare to let her go, so he made some adjustments during the experiment.

No matter how powerful Wen Xiaoxiao is, she is just one person. Moreover, the current equipment is simple and there is no monitoring, so it is too easy to tamper with it.

His guilt was directed only at the child.

Wen Xiaoxiao didn't notice that he had tampered with anything, but Professor Leng was not sure whether Dr. Jiang had seen it. Judging from his reaction, the possibility of him seeing it was very high.

But Professor Leng didn't understand why he didn't tell Wen Xiaoxiao.

After kneeling for a while, Professor Leng slowly stood up and strode towards the database.

The database was at the end of the corridor. When Wen Xiaoxiao decided to conduct human experiments, he and Xiang Xueqian began to collect useful things without leaving any trace, preparing to destroy the database.

There are computer devices in the database. Although it cannot be connected to the Internet now, there is no problem in storing data.

The database is guarded by a group of zombies.

These zombies will not attack them actively, but if Professor Leng and his companions approach the database, they will attack Professor Leng.

But Professor Leng had previously made a shield that could temporarily interfere with Wen Xiaoxiao's orders to the zombies, otherwise Xiang Xueqian would not have been able to leave the institute smoothly.

The database is at your fingertips.

Dr. Jiang came out from the corner and blocked Professor Leng's way with a smile: "Professor, why are you here? This is a place that Dr. Wen has forbidden us to approach."

Professor Leng looked at Dr. Jiang calmly. He said calmly, "If that's the case, why are you here?"

Dr. Jiang smiled: "Oh, right, why am I here?"

He clapped his hands and said suddenly, "Oh, I remember now. Professor, your apprentice has been resting for too long. I was worried that he might get sick from sleeping so I kindly asked him to get up and go for a walk with me."

Dr. Jiang pulled out a dummy from the side, pinched the dummy's head and shook it in front of Professor Leng: "Don't you agree, Professor?"

He lowered his head and looked at the dummy in his hand. "But, it doesn't look like the professor's apprentice, professor—"

Professor Leng watched Dr. Jiang perform in front of him with cold eyes: "I don't want to beat around the bush with you, Jiang Heng, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Dr. Jiang pushed forward with his hand, and the dummy fell to the ground with a clang.

"I don't want to do anything." He walked over to Professor Leng and stared at him. "I'm just curious, Professor, what are you going to do?"

"Wait, let me guess. Our great professor is planning to destroy Dr. Wen's information, right?" His smile widened, a little strangely. "Professor, if Dr. Wen knew you were going to destroy her hard work, what would she do to you?"

Professor Leng lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Dr. Jiang didn't care at all about his lack of support. He circled around Professor Leng and said excitedly, "Let me guess. Will you become a test subject like Professor Xie and Li Tong? Or will you be tortured to the point of being worse than death? I think it's probably the latter."

"What do you think, Professor?"

"Hiss, it's really scary, Professor, are you scared?"

Professor Leng looked up at him and asked, "Are you here to stop me?"

An injection appeared silently from under the sleeve of Professor Leng's white coat.

"No, how could that be?" Dr. Jiang waved his hands repeatedly, looking at Professor Leng in horror, his voice particularly exaggerated: "Professor, why do you think so? After all, I was almost able to become your apprentice. How could I go against your wishes?"

He stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "Professor, please come in. I wish you a safe journey."

Professor Leng narrowed his eyes and walked towards the database, while Dr. Jiang stood there watching.

When Professor Leng opened the door of the database, he turned around and walked quickly downstairs.

After those psychics left, Wen Xiaoxiao pinched her brows and felt waves of fatigue rising up. A loud explosion was heard from upstairs, and Wen Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up.

At this moment, Dr. Jiang ran down from upstairs, his face grim, and said, "Professor Leng blew up the database!"

Wen Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank and she immediately ran upstairs.

When they arrived at the door of the database, bursts of black flames wafted out from inside. The explosion had stopped, and only the remaining flames on the ground were still burning.

Wen Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and angrily slapped Dr. Jiang in the face.

With a snap.

Five clear finger marks appeared on Dr. Jiang's face.

"What's going on?" Wen Xiaoxiao asked angrily.

Dr. Jiang felt the pain on his cheek and pressed his tongue against the side of his face. "I don't know either, but I've always felt that Professor Leng has been acting strangely lately. I just saw him walking towards the database, so I followed him and saw that his destination was actually the database."

He lowered his eyelids and said, "Those zombies didn't attack Professor Leng, but as soon as I got close, they attacked me. I had no choice but to go down and look for you first."

Wen Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and blue, and she suddenly thought of something: "Where is his apprentice?"

Dr. Jiang pointed at a discarded dummy not far away and said, "His apprentice must have run away long ago. The one left in the room is this dummy."

"Dr. Jiang, Professor Leng's explosion has completely wasted all our efforts. He died easily. Are you planning to let him go just like that?"

Dr. Jiang looked at the database.

Wen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, her expression twisted: "Want to die? It's not that easy!"

She walked towards the database, which was filled with residual flames, raising the temperature in the room significantly.

Professor Leng was blown into a bloody mess, and only a human figure could be seen.

Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes were cold: "Professor, your choice is really unwise."

Dr. Jiang, who arrived later, smiled and said, "I agree. After all, Dr. Wen, you have the ability to resurrect. Death is not a relief."

Wen Xiaoxiao squatted down beside Professor Leng and reached out to touch his burnt hand.
