Volume 1_Chapter 394 Awakening



Su Tao held his hand: "As long as you don't agree, I will reject this plan——"

Jiang Tong’s affairs cannot be concealed for long. Dongyang has already reported that two mutant zombies have appeared and are killing humans.

She could think of using Jiang Tong as bait, and similarly, Chang Jing could also think that this was the quickest and cheapest way.

But as long as Jiang Yu disagrees, she is willing to confront Chang Jing, who symbolizes the highest power, and try her best to capture Painted Skin or other mutant zombies as experimental subjects.

But Jiang Yu lowered his head and trembled as he said three words: "I agree."

Su Tao's heart suddenly fell to the bottom: "You——"

Jiang Yu suddenly stood up, turned his back and said:

"These past few days I've been wondering what Tongtong's future should be. If I let her go, she'll cause the deaths of more of her compatriots. If I don't let her go, I see her, and she sees me, torturing each other and becoming experimental subjects. Perhaps that's her best fate."

Su Tao felt very upset and for a moment she hated this broken and hopeless era immensely.

If it weren't for the end of the world and the rampant virus, everyone would be able to live and work in peace and there would be no tragedies like the one involving Bone Wing Jiang Tong.

Jiang Yu slowly disappeared into the shadows: "Thank you for choosing to tell me the truth. I will cooperate with you in future work."

A gust of wind blew into the study, and Su Tao was the only one left in the room.

She slept very uneasily that night. Sometimes she dreamed that Jiang Yu and his sister were killing each other, and sometimes she dreamed that Jiang Tong, who was soaked in experimental liquid, was asking her for help.

She wanted to break the experimental vessel, but she couldn't shake the indestructible tempered glass.

She also dreamed that the dead tenant blamed her for ignoring the overall situation. If she had sacrificed Jiang Tong earlier, perhaps the tragedy of Painted Skin killing humans could have been avoided.

She even dreamed of Bone Wings. It opened its beautiful eyes and smiled at her strangely, its lips opening and closing as if to say, "I have my own kind. You can't trap me—"

Su Tao suddenly woke up.

"Taotao? What's wrong?"

Su Tao saw Shi Zijin sitting at the head of her bed. He wanted to reach out to comfort her, but his hand passed through her body.

It was still night outside the window.

Su Tao didn't care about him trespassing into the bedroom, she hugged her head and said:

"I've been feeling very tired lately, more tired than I've ever been."

In addition, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she also felt some pain in some parts of her body.

For example, the head, shoulder blades, and limbs all have varying degrees of soreness.

Although it is not obvious, it is always there.

Shi Zijin just thought she was overthinking:

"Don't blame yourself, you've done a good job."

After saying this, he called Lingyu, who was napping on the windowsill, and asked her to get a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.

The tool bird Lingyu brought the milk in a daze and returned to the windowsill to take a nap.

Su Tao opened the milk herself and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did she feel that she had walked out of the messy dream.

But in the next second, the scene in front of her suddenly changed - the empty milk bottle in her hand was taken away by Lingyu and thrown into the trash can, and then one morning she threw it into the Taoyang garbage station. After an unknown amount of time, it was transported out of Taoyang and incinerated with a pile of domestic waste.

As the flames went out, Su Tao came back to her senses and the scene before her turned into her bedroom again. She looked down and saw that the empty milk bottle in her hand was intact.

She opened her mouth.

What had she just seen? The future of milk bottles?

She quickly threw back the quilt, put on her shoes and got out of bed, then touched all the furniture in the house. She could "see" the future in most of the things.

She even "saw" that Heizhima would put its dirty paws into her drinking water cup to wash its feet tomorrow morning.

At the same time, a voice in her heart became clearer and clearer:

Prediction: touching anything can predict what will happen in the next three months.

When she wanted to touch a living thing again, such as Lingyu, she found that she began to feel weak and the pain in her body became more and more obvious.

At the same time, various predicted images began to flash through her mind, giving her a splitting headache.

Shi Zijin noticed her abnormality and immediately used his "Eye of Investigation" to look at her and stopped her:

"You're about to awaken! Don't use your powers, or you'll lose control!"

Su Tao collapsed on the bed and asked with all her might:

"I feel like my head and body are going to split apart. Is this normal?"

"It's normal—most of the time, the process of awakening superpowers is like an illness. You'll get better after you get through it. Don't worry, this is a good thing."

Su Tao fainted with relief after hearing the word "normal", and didn't hear his series of explanations at all.

At this time, the wasteland outside Dongyang

Painted Skin just skinned the "prey" he caught.

Intact human skin still has temperature.

Painted Skin touched it in fascination, carefully cleaned up the bloodstains, folded it and put it in his bag.

Just as she was about to enjoy the peeled "delicacy", she saw Jiang Tong not far away.

She licked her lips and asked, "Yo? Did you catch the pet?"

Jiang Tong simply said, "I'm leaving."

Painted Skin was confused: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Tong showed no expression: "Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'll leave by myself."

Painted Skin pondered for a moment, then widened her beautiful eyes and mercilessly exposed Jiang Tong's embarrassment:

"So you were wandering around these past few days because you were hesitant. In the end, you didn't catch him, and you even thought about running away and pretending you had never seen your human brother."

Jiang Tong clenched his fists and then unclenched them, still saying nothing. He turned around and walked towards the desolate and deserted northern road.

Painted Skin's face darkened, and his voice seemed to have reached freezing point:

"Eye Tomb, you make me feel more like a human. A perfectly evolved zombie wouldn't have emotions and concerns like yours."

Jiang Tong turned around and said, "You don't understand. You only know how to kill and skin people."

Painted Skin narrowed his eyes and watched her leaving back, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

She really overestimated Eye Tomb.

I didn't expect that there would be such low-level human emotions. I am not worthy of being her kind.

Painted Skin felt murderous intent in her heart, but she quickly sneered.

Although she is a zombie, her heart is towards humans. One day, humans will give her a heavy blow and she will never be able to get up again.

Painted Skin looked towards Taoyang.

She had just heard that there was a real creature of the same kind imprisoned there.
