Chu Xinxin reached out and caught a snowflake.
The snowflakes quickly melted in her warm palms.
She jumped off the car roof and patted her skirt: "Oops, I've been spotted."
The system felt a mix of emotions: [Sister, you didn't hide anything at all.]
"Hmm... I think so, but I think it's about time to wrap this up."
Just as Chu Xinxin was thinking of joining the battle, Jack pushed his wheelchair to her side.
"Professor Chu, where are you going?"
Chu Xinxin stopped in her tracks: "Go and call Si Beiting back... What's with this young and strong man fighting with two old people? He has no respect for the elderly."
Jack glanced back and saw Si Beiting being kicked far away by Director Yu, leaving a long trail of blood on the white snow.
Chu Xinxin: ......
"The battle will be over soon, Professor Chu, you should wait a little longer."
Jack said slowly.
"Lieutenant General Jack seems to have calmed down a lot." Chu Xinxin thought Jack was quite amazing; he could suddenly stop being so irritable.
She suddenly changed the subject: "What if I insist on going?"
Jack stood up from his wheelchair, the cloak covering him slipped off, and his once thin body was now covered in bulging muscles.
"Professor Chu, then I have no choice but to offend you."
Chu Xinxin glanced at his physique with interest: "Zombies can exercise?"
"Professor Chu can give it a try."
Jack narrowed his eyes, a malicious thought suddenly rising within him, and with a slap, pushed Chu Xinxin into the newly dug pit.
Chu Xinxin fell like a kite with a broken string.
Before she fell, Jack's sharp nails scratched her skin.
Si Beiting tried to rush over, but was stopped by Jack and some other superhumans.
"Get out of my way!" Si Beiting roared in fury, and they almost couldn't stop him.
"What's the rush?" Jack sneered. "Once Professor Chu turns into a zombie, you two can be together forever."
If Chu Xinxin could become a zombie, the lowest form of body without intelligence or soul, Jack would be willing to die right now.
The city lord and Director Yu, who were engaged in a fierce battle, noticed what was happening here and stopped at the same time to come over together.
Taking advantage of Jack's momentary daze, Si Beiting rushed towards the pit and jumped down.
Jack figured there should be enough time, so he didn't stop him anymore.
"Jack, what are you doing?" the city lord demanded with a dark expression.
"Of course, we will grant the general's request."
When did you recover?
Jack had been receiving suppressants, but judging from his physical condition, it seemed like he had stopped taking them long ago.
"This is a deal between Professor Chu and me." Jack, facing three zombie kings of higher rank than himself, showed no fear whatsoever: "She helped me develop the antidote, and I helped her get into the archives..."
The city lord's expression was somewhat meaningful: "Jack, I never expected you to betray me."
"Lord of the city, there are too many things you haven't considered..."
Jack is surrounded by more and more superhumans: "You don't know how deep the hatred for zombies is in the bones of humans after fighting against them for so many years... Not everyone wants to be like you, turning themselves into monsters without feelings for the sake of so-called eternity."
“Jack, this is the trend of human development. You are among the first to enjoy it, so you should be grateful.” The city lord pointed at Director Yu. “Look, others go to great lengths, while you get it effortlessly.”
Jack shook his head: "Lord, I have nothing to say to you. Today, let's end it all."
No sooner had he finished speaking than explosions resounded throughout the city of death.
Jack hid all the oil trucks from District 17 in the city.
The massive shockwave knocked everyone to the ground; even the city lord and Director Yu couldn't stand.
Jack watched this scene with a cold smile, took out a lighter from his pocket, and prepared to light the fuse at his feet.
Just as the lighter was about to hit the ground, it was caught by a hand.
"Lieutenant General Jack, if you want to die, don't drag innocent people down with you." Si Beiting held Chu Xinxin in one arm and froze the lighter into ice with the other, then crushed it with a single palm strike.
Jack stared in disbelief at Chu Xinxin's unharmed state and exclaimed, "How come you haven't turned into a zombie yet!"
Moreover, he fell from such a height and was not injured at all.
The spot he just scratched didn't even leave a mark.
Si Beiting retorted, "There's nothing I can do. These are the only abilities I have. It's not surprising that one of them is healing."
How could that be?
Jack was still in shock.
Si Beiting fired more than a dozen shots at him: "I just don't understand, why are you always targeting our Professor Chu? Is it because you made him publish an apology in the newspaper and lost face in the lab?"
Jack looked down at his body, which looked like it had been riddled with bullets, yet he raised his head as if it weren't even his own.
He swallowed hard, his voice hoarse, and said, "Of course not... General, you're so resourceful, you even managed to find such a secret video from over a decade ago, so why didn't you also check that when my parents were surrounded by zombies, it was actually to save her..."
Jack's parents found a beautiful little girl trapped high up while they were clearing land.
At that time, the zombie virus had just broken out, and some people couldn't survive and would abandon their children.
Jack's parents, out of kindness, wanted to save her, but little did they know that it was a trap set by the city lord.
"them......"
Jack pointed at the city lord and Chu Xinxin: "They were always in cahoots."
"I understand, they always pick on the weak." Si Beiting sneered. "What do you mean by 'in cahoots'? Our Professor Chu was also being used. There's a cause for every grievance, you should go find the city lord."
Jack suddenly took a few steps forward, clutching Director Yu's sleeve tightly: "You lied to me! You said you were going to kill Chu Xinxin! That's why I helped you plant those explosives!"
"I wasn't lying to you back then."
Director Yu shook off Jack's hand: "I just found out too. Chu Xinxin... is the drug that the dean has been hiding for many years."
Dean?
Jack murmured, "Medicine?"
“Yes, a panacea that can cure all the diseases in the world.” A greedy glint flashed in Director Yu’s eyes. “Including cell regeneration after breakage… Professor Chu is the one who can truly live forever.”
When Si Beiting first heard about this, he was just as shocked as anyone else.
He instinctively tightened his grip on Chu Xinxin's hand: "Nonsense, stop trying to smear our Professor Chu!"
"General, I am the best evidence."
Director Yu took two vacuum tubes out of his pocket: "These are what I just drank; one is for you, and the other is from Professor Chu's pocket..."
Si Beiting's was "poison".
Chu Xinxin's question was about "medicine".
When the "poison" and "antidote" are consumed together, the former continuously alters the body, while the latter prolongs life.
Ultimately, he was able to complete his transformation in a short period of time.
"The reason the city lord dared to put her, so young, into a horde of zombies is because she's practically immortal." Director Yu revealed the biggest secret: "She's the biggest monster!"
