Jack glanced at Chu Xinxin and Si Beiting again with a complicated expression, and finally left, questioning the meaning of life.
What happened to the unattainable beauty she was promised?
So Si Beiting just messed with me like that?
"I'll take you back." Si Beiting slapped down the materials Chu Xinxin was about to pack, staring intently at her, and called out in a stronger tone, "Professor Chu."
Chu Xinxin froze. Oh no, she'd forgotten that Si Beiting still thought she was Wei Yan...
It's all Jack's fault!
......
On the way back.
Wei Yan felt a bit strange sitting in the passenger seat; he couldn't find a comfortable position no matter how he sat.
I always feel like this seat is labeled "Chu Xinxin's exclusive seat," and I'm the green tea bitch who says, "Brother, I get carsick and can't sit in the back."
He glanced back at Chu Xinxin, who was staring silently out the window. Damn, she looked even more like her.
The atmosphere in the car was eerily frightening.
He had finally returned to the research institute, and the moment he stepped through the door, he was stopped by Si Beiting.
"Handsome, what's your name?"
Wei Yan, confused, asked, "My name is..."
His name is Wang...
"Is your information on the institute's official website? I suddenly really want to know about Professor Chu's colleagues..."
Si Beiting took out the smart brain, and Chu Xinxin immediately shut up.
Wei Yan instinctively felt that he should keep quiet at this moment, but Si Beiting kept looking at him, his eyes filled with smiles, but he felt as cold as the night wind in the frontier area.
"I, my name is Wei Yan." After saying that, Wei Yan decisively picked up his medicine box: "Professor Chu, I'll go in first."
After saying that, he made his escape, leaving behind a scene of silence.
"It's getting late, I should head back now."
Chu Xinxin's face remained cold and indifferent as she walked into the research institute as if nothing had happened.
Strangely, Si Beiting neither stopped her nor told her to stop.
She walked to the corner of the corridor and finally couldn't help but look back. There was no sign of Si Beiting at the door.
Chu Xinxin suddenly thought to herself: Oh no, I've angered him.
......
From that day on, the mysterious man's gift offensive towards Wei Yan finally stopped.
Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Professor Chu, the autopsy report of the zombie we dissected that day is out."
Wei Yan handed Chu Xinxin a sealed document, which Chu Xinxin took and began to examine carefully.
That zombie was the same superhuman who had suddenly attacked the city lord that day.
The report showed that his wound was very small, located under the skin behind his ear, as if it had been pricked by a needle.
The virus's modification of his internal organs was also different from that of ordinary zombie virus infections.
His stomach was stretched very wide.
When the anatomist cut it open, he found many human tissues inside.
The report categorizes those organizations.
It consisted of two chewed-up hands, two thin calves, and some fragments of human organs and tissues.
Chu Xinxin glanced at it briefly but didn't notice anything unusual.
But when she turned to the next page and saw the shapes of those things before they were organized, she was immediately horrified.
They look so much like the same person!
A person who has been eaten is only degenerating in parts of their body; their hands and feet slowly move onto their head...
Chu Xinxin was shocked by her own thoughts.
When this superhuman returned to the base, he was still a normal person.
That means that his "eating" of people must have happened after he entered the base.
But in a hospital, under the watchful eyes of everyone, day and night, there are always people, and this superhuman was seriously injured. How did he manage to do that?
Sister, is it possible...?
The system hesitated, as if it wanted to say something but then stopped.
"What's possible?"
The person in his stomach wasn't someone he ate, but rather... someone who was going to grow out of his body?
In an instant, the hairs on Chu Xinxin's body stood on end.
In some worlds, human renewal occurs in this way: new individuals are conceived within older individuals, absorbing the energy of the older ones, and then devouring the older ones after birth...
"You mean... this is how higher-level zombies are created?"
There's probably a 70% chance.
The system prompted Chu Xinxin to turn to the next page.
The next page contains information about the superhuman before his death. He was bitten by zombies five times, and except for the last time when he was given a barrier agent, he survived the previous four times on his own.
Why did he receive the blocking agent the last time? It must be because he realized what was happening to him and wanted to save himself.
Chu Xinxin's heart sank.
He knew what was happening to him, so why didn't he seek help from the base?
After returning from the pioneering efforts in Area 11, the team of superhumans stayed at the hospital, where he could explain his condition to the doctors and nurses at any time.
Chu Xinxin clutched the report, turned and walked to the computer, opened the hospital's internal system, hesitated for a moment when entering the ID, and then looked up.
Wei Yan is working with a petri dish.
Chu Xinxin lowered her head again, entered Director Wu's ID, and successfully logged into the system.
Sister, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it.
"No need, you might not be reliable either."
That day at the city lord's mansion, Si Beiting followed behind her for a long time without the system giving him any warnings.
The system is somewhat in the wrong.
Sister, I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention that day...
"Do I really have to spell it out? You're not unaware; you just want me to suffer a loss so I'll obediently listen to you in the future."
Chu Xinxin quickly found what she wanted.
The rest of the team of superhumans were all confined to a special hospital on the grounds of "unknown danger".
Apart from essential medical personnel, anyone entering must first obtain the city lord's permission.
Chu Xin wanted to see the photos of those teams of superhumans, but as soon as she clicked the mouse, a large warning popped up on her computer screen—
"Your privileges are too low. Please upgrade and try again."
Undeterred, Chu Xinxin checked their hospital admission information again, only to receive another warning. Moreover, the hospital's security system was trying to access her computer's ID address via the internet connection.
"Smack!"
My computer screen went black.
Sister, I've cut it for you.
The system chimed in, eager to claim credit: "I've also found the information and photos of that superhuman team for you."
Everything captured by the system appeared in the void in front of Chu Xinxin.
Upon seeing the third person, Chu Xinxin's pupils constricted sharply. This person was none other than the zombie she had seen at the City Lord's Mansion that day...
