Chapter 67 After traveling quickly for a few days, they settled in a deserted town not far from the research institute.
After traveling quickly for a few days, they settled in a deserted town not far from the research institute.
The automatic glass door was twisted and deformed, making creaking sounds. The ground was covered with mottled bloodstains, which turned a shocking dark red after drying, intertwined with scattered goods and broken glass shards.
Outside the mall were the roars of zombies and the sounds of fierce fighting. The experimental subject whose abnormality had not been completely eliminated, together with 001, cleaned out all the zombies in the town.
Xiao Yubai lowered his eyes and scanned several places to find his footing, and finally found one. However, his already pale face turned even paler.
She had spent most of her life in the laboratory, which was clean and sterile. Seeing blood was already the limit. She was afraid that she would not be able to adapt to this apocalyptic environment for a while.
She leaned against the wall, her messy hair falling on her cheeks, her eyes slightly closed, unable to hide her fatigue, and her always elegant white clothes were stained with spots of dirt.
"Dr. Xiao, all the zombies here have been cleared." The leading girl rushed in and reported loudly. The pair of wings behind her disappeared a few more times, and they were so small that they could almost be ignored.
Xiao Yubai nodded slightly at her. The girl paused, stepped forward and asked softly:
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Just rest for a while." A hoarse voice came out from the dry throat.
She rubbed her frowning brows and ordered in an orderly manner:
"All the alienation stabilizers and food are distributed once a day. When the alienation is mostly gone, come to me for a checkup. If you are fully recovered, you can leave."
"You don't have to follow me. I'm just a researcher. I just do what my heart tells me. I don't deserve your gratitude. It's just a small favor."
"Dr. Xiao, I won't leave." The girl pursed her lips and looked at her stubbornly.
"Okay, let's go down and do it."
If she had left the small world at that time, the same process would have taken place now. After drinking the alienation stabilizer, she would have completely recovered to normal and gone her separate ways. Getting together would only deepen this extremely painful memory.
001, covered in blood after killing the zombies, ran in like a gust of wind. She raised her head and looked around for a while, then rushed over as soon as she saw Xiao Yubai.
The wind arrives before the person arrives. Xiao Yubai slowly raises her eyes, a little cold, and her raised eyebrows droop down listlessly. The discomfort in her body has vaguely stripped off the gentle coat wrapped around her body. She no longer has the energy to care about other people's feelings.
001 was stunned for a moment, and for some reason she stopped herself from lunging forward. Although she tilted her head and thought for a while, she still couldn't figure out why she was acting abnormally at this moment. But her intuition vaguely told her that Bai Bai didn't like her current state.
A long line had formed on the other side of the mall, and the test subjects were receiving supplies in an orderly manner. 001, with sharp eyes, immediately saw the pink nutritional supplements distributed by the girl at the front. Her somewhat dim eyes brightened up again, and she immediately turned around and ran towards that place, forgetting what happened just now.
Food, delicious.
She lay beside the long line and watched for a while, and seemed to understand something. She imitated them and rushed to the end of the line, lined up, and wagged her tail proudly. With her huge body and four limbs on the ground, 001, who had poor control of her strength, knocked down several people at once, and took up almost three people's space.
There was no scolding, everyone smiled kindly at the man who got up from the ground, holding his butt. Compliments were showered on 001.
"Great, you figured it out so quickly."
"Look at how many zombies she just killed. How could she be stupid? She's very smart."
"That tail is so majestic and cool. I want one too."
Although she still didn't understand what these creatures were saying, she knew that these creatures were different from the creatures dressed like Bai Bai before. They would not draw her blood or hit her with things. They seemed to be the same kind as her.
Thinking of this, 001 was extremely happy, her bloodstained eyebrows were full of energy, she grinned, revealing her densely packed and sharp teeth, and laughed.
The experimental subjects who were about to recover showed her special respect and praised her:
"Wow, your teeth are so nice, so neat and beautiful. I can see you can eat a few zombies' heads in one bite."
"How can you talk like that? Zombies are so disgusting, I won't eat them."
The thick tail slapped the floor, adding a few more scars to the already cracked floor.
"Well, here you go." 001 clasped her hands together, her sharp claws softened obediently, and she took the nutrient that now belonged to her.
The girl looked at her body that turned around immediately, and said worriedly: "Dr. Xiao is not feeling well now, please don't bother her later, let her rest for a while."
"Ah, ah." 001 blinked his round eyes and nodded seriously.
She knew how to drink it, and it was all fed to her for free.
Under the teachable gaze of the young girl, 001 ran towards Xiao Yubai, wagging its tail.
When it was still a few meters away from her, 001 slowly stopped, her beautiful eyes turned around, she swung her tail forward, with the tail hook raised, and slowly approached Xiao Yubai.
The tail hook that she usually used to pierce the enemy was hung on the corner of Xiao Yubai's clothes, and she pulled it gently.
Xiao Yubai, who was resting with her eyes closed, felt something pulling at her clothes. She didn't want to pay attention to it, but the force was getting stronger and stronger. If she ignored it, she was afraid that her clothes would be torn.
She suddenly opened her eyes and was met with a pair of bright golden pupils, which reflected her pale face wholeheartedly.
001, who was lying on all fours, saw that this method was effective and instantly raised countless white teeth.
Like a puppy.
This adjective flashed through Xiao Yubai's mind inexplicably. In her impression, 001 had always been violent and murderous, and 90% of the new scars on her body came from her mouth.
With a swish sound, the excited 001 couldn't restrain himself for a moment, and used his tail hook to pull a piece of cloth off Xiao Yubai's sleeve.
The pierced cloth hung alone on the sharp tail hook, fluttering in the wind.
Xiao Yubai was silent, veins popping up on her face. After running around for a few days, she only had this one relatively clean piece of clothing left.
Looking at Xiao Yubai's raised hand, 001 seemed to remember his slightly red tail from a few days ago.
Her tail was suddenly retracted behind her, she covered her head with both hands, her golden pupils trembled, looking somewhat innocent and pitiful.
The raised hand fell on her head truthfully. Xiao Yubai gently rubbed her frizzy hair and sighed.
"It's not your fault, you don't have to care about it. What do you want from me?" Xiao Yubai stood there and waited for a while, waiting for 001 to digest her question.
"Ah, ah." 001 roughly understood what she meant and carefully placed the nutrient in one of his hands, pointing to his open mouth with his paw.
In vain, hungry, eat.
The pink nutrient was poured into her mouth, and 001 curled his eyes in pleasure, rubbing Xiao Yubai's legs with his tail.
Xiao Yubai sighed again and let her go. At least she didn't rush forward, which was good enough.
She couldn't remember how many times she sighed these days.
A week passed in a flash, and there were fewer and fewer people in the mall. The experimental subjects who had recovered and still had ties left one after another.
Xiao Yubai glanced at the dozen or so experimental subjects still clinging to her and raised her eyebrows.
"I've checked with you. Everyone has recovered completely. Some people may still have some abnormalities on their bodies due to too many injections of the evolution agent. But those minor abnormalities are not a big deal. No one will pay attention to them. Go home quickly." The last sentence was softened in tone, and was particularly gentle.
"Dr. Xiao, all my family members are dead, and I have no home. You saved my life, and from now on you are my family. I will go wherever you go, and I will follow you." The girl that Xiao Yubai first contacted pursed her lips, stood stubbornly in place, and looked at Xiao Yubai with red eyes.
"We will follow you too." Several people standing behind the girl said in unison.
"Ahh." 001, who came to join in the fun, squatted aside and opened his mouth to imitate the girl.
Follow, in vain.
Xiao Yubai rubbed his aching brows, not knowing how to solve the problem for a moment.
She originally thought that she only needed to settle 001 and then leave, but now there are more and more people.
"Please take us in and don't drive us away. We really have nowhere else to go."
“Ahhh.”
In vain, go, go.
"You can treat us as consumables for your experiment. As long as one of us is still here, we will stand in front of you. You can order us around like dogs."
Ahhh, dog, dog.
"Don't talk." Xiao Yubai stuffed a bottle of nutrient solution into 001's mouth to block her mouth.
She looked at the girl's pleading eyes, and her hard expression relaxed silently. She took out the remaining candy from her pocket and stuffed it into the girl's pocket.
"The legs are on you. If you have made up your mind, I can't chase you away."
"Does Dr. Xiao agree?" More than ten pairs of eyes stared at her with tears in their eyes.
Xiao Yubai was still somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of scene. She slightly turned her body and hummed softly.
"Ahhhh, Dr. Shaw agreed. I'm no longer homeless. Ahhhh."
There was a deafening shout in his ears, and Xiao Yubai's mouth corners rose uncontrollably and he smiled lightly.
The excited girl hugged Xiao Yubai tightly. Xiao Yubai was stunned for a moment and gently rubbed her head.
The full 001 watched for a while, then snaked its thick tail up, bound the girl tightly, pulled her away from Xiao Yubai, and threw her to the ground.
Baibai, I don’t like this.
After finishing everything, the tail returned to the original path and rubbed against Xiao Yubai. Then, it snaked up from the calf, wrapped around her waist, and rubbed it. Xiao Yubai immediately slapped it away.
As expected, 001 held up his red tail and yelled at the angry girl.
See, Baibai doesn't like this.
"Then let's get going." Xiao Yubai felt refreshed after teaching the two men a lesson. She held the map and said loudly.
"Dr. Xiao, which base are we going to?"
"Dawn Base."
