"Three months ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in the territory of Country M." The commander's voice was low, and every word was like a huge rock, hitting people's hearts heavily.
He paused, as if recalling the horrific scene, his brow furrowed, his eyes dim. "The meteorite was pitch black, shimmering with a strange light. It didn't cause much damage when it landed, but..." He raised his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly. "However, it released an unknown virus that was transmitted through the air and quickly spread across the globe."
"The infected people initially only have fever and cough, similar to the symptoms of a common cold, but soon they will fall into a coma, and then..." The commander's voice stopped abruptly. He pursed his lips tightly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, as if trying to suppress the fear and grief in his heart.
"Then, they will become irrational monsters that only know how to be bloodthirsty." He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, his voice full of helplessness and pain.
Chen Xiaoru's heart trembled at this. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she wondered, "How could there be a virus on a meteorite? Could it be man-made...? Or... aliens?" The more she thought about it, the more horrified she felt, and she shuddered.
"Our country hasn't been immune. In just a few days, zombies have appeared across the country." The commander shook his head slowly, pain written all over his face. "The government took swift action. The army, police, medical personnel... everyone has thrown themselves into this battle."
"But this virus is so terrible. It not only turns people into zombies, but also causes animals to mutate." The commander clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the force. "We...we paid a heavy price to barely control the situation." When he said this, his eyes became moist and tears welled up in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and continued, "We established this base to house the survivors, and we're also actively looking for a solution. However, until now, our understanding of this virus is still very limited." He turned and looked at Chen Xiaoru with a burning gaze. "Ms. Chen Xiaoru, your spiritual spring water is miraculously effective against the zombie virus, which gives us hope. Therefore, I implore you to help us overcome this disaster together."
Chen Xiaoru looked at the commander's sincere eyes, nodded vigorously, and said firmly: "Commander, don't worry, I will do my best to help everyone." She clenched her fists, her eyes firm: For Zhou Yuxuan, for this world, she must find a way to completely eliminate the zombie virus.
"But this meteorite is too strange. It even carries a virus." Chen Xiaoru bit her lower lip, frowned slightly, and muttered to herself.
"Yes, we also think the arrival of this meteorite is too strange, so we have been secretly investigating it." The commander lowered his voice, leaned closer to Chen Xiaoru, and said mysteriously, "However, there has been no substantial progress so far."
"Perhaps, we can start from the source of the meteorite and see if we can find any clues." Chen Xiaoru's eyes lit up and she put forward her idea.
"We have thought of this, but..." The commander looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
"But what?" Chen Xiaoru asked anxiously, her bright eyes fixed on the commander, not missing any slight change in expression on his face.
"However, the location where the meteorite fell is now a restricted military zone of Country M. We can't get close at all." The commander sighed helplessly and spread his hands. "Also, Country M is extremely secretive about this matter. We have no way of knowing the truth."
"M Country..." Chen Xiaoru's brows knitted into a knot, she clenched her teeth and fell into deep thought. It seemed that finding out the truth was not an easy task.
"But we won't give up." The commander's eyes suddenly became firm, and he waved his fist vigorously. "We will definitely find a way to completely eliminate the zombie virus and give humanity a bright future!"
"Well, I believe in you, and I believe in my country!" Chen Xiaoru also clenched her fists and nodded vigorously. Her eyes were like burning flames, flashing with a firm light, as if to dispel all the darkness.
She paused, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and her tone became more relaxed. "However, our most important task right now is to develop an antidote for the zombie virus, and then mass-produce it. Then, we can sell the antidote abroad and make a lot of foreign exchange!"
Zhou Yuxuan and the commander's foreheads instantly turned black. They stared at each other, not knowing what to say. This girl, so passionate one second, and then obsessed with money the next.
Chen Xiaoru looked at the two people's helpless expressions and realized that what she had said was a bit inappropriate. She stuck out her tongue, blinked playfully, and scratched her head awkwardly. "Well, am I...thinking too simply? Hehe..."
Zhou Yuxuan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. He raised his hand and gently slid his fingertips across Chen Xiaoru's straight nose, his eyes full of doting.
"Oh, you are making fun of me! I am doing this for the country!" Chen Xiaoru pouted her pink little mouth in dissatisfaction, blinking her big watery eyes, and stomped her feet coquettishly like a wronged kitten.
"Okay, okay, I know you are the best, our little money-grubber." Zhou Yuxuan smiled, and gently ruffled her soft hair with his big hands, his tone full of infinite love.
