Chu Xinxin: "The general is human. Even if the zombie king has intelligence, he's still a zombie. The same kind? Are you kidding me?"
Who would believe that?
The city lord smiled and said, "Take a look at this."
The screen behind him suddenly lit up, displaying a serum analysis report.
With Chu Xinxin's professional expertise, a single glance would reveal that the results of this serum analysis report were almost identical to those she had written for the Zombie King.
The only difference is that the amount of evolutionary substances in its blood is many times higher than that of the zombie king...
The column for the owner of the serum sample reads, "Si Beiting".
"Is this interesting?" Chu Xinxin scoffed. "I already analyzed Si Beiting's serum..."
Chu Xinxin suddenly remembered that Si Beiting's serum was not initially kept by her.
That day, she and Wei Yan went to see the small team that had just returned from the 11th Reclamation Area.
After she returned, the vials of serum were handed to her.
"You switched the serum?"
“Yes.” The city lord readily admitted, “After learning about his special ability, no one could resist investigating him, right?”
"So, you used me?"
No wonder they arranged a blind date for her out of the blue.
Given Si Beiting's personality, he would definitely give her whatever she asked for.
At that time, she was completely focused on her experiments; if she had known, she would have definitely put in the effort to study them.
“Professor Chu, I have never forced you.” The city lord smiled helplessly. “I only wanted his serum out of curiosity. After all, who could have imagined that a zombie king would appear later, and I just happened to have a sample of the serum he gave you.”
"This is not a reason for you to kill him!"
Chu Xinxin's eyes turned red with anger, her chest heaved violently, and her emotions were extremely unstable.
"Professor Chu, he's the same as the Zombie King..."
"He didn't hurt anyone! He even risked his own life to get rid of the zombie king!"
“No.” The city lord shook his head. “Professor Chu, you must understand that he himself is a danger.”
Like the Zombie King, but even more powerful.
They can also transfer other people's superpowers to themselves without limit.
Also, it does not belong to Base S.
With all three factors combined, Base S has ample reason to eliminate dissidents.
"Professor Chu, have you forgotten your original intention?"
The city lord's voice suddenly became deep and resonant, echoing in the empty conference hall.
It was as if a deity was instructing believers; every syllable was enlightening.
Chu Xinxin was momentarily dazed.
"I was fortunate enough to be invited to the day you joined the research institute."
“You stand on the stage and say that your biggest dream in this life is to eliminate all zombie viruses, so that humans can go wherever they want, just like before, and restore order to the world.”
"I thought to myself, I must support her. She spoke with such confidence and certainty, she will definitely succeed."
The city lord emerged from his reverie: "Therefore, I gave you a privilege that no one else has."
Whatever materials Chu Xinxin wanted, they were always delivered immediately.
Even the most confidential documents can be viewed.
Because of her, the institute receives the best treatment in the entire base.
“Si Beiting, he is the real zombie king. Professor Chu, we did nothing wrong.”
silence.
The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.
None of the three spoke.
Jack was also learning about this for the first time, and he was still in shock.
"Then..." Chu Xinxin's face was covered with exhaustion, "Why did you keep that team of superhumans for experiments?"
“I don’t deny that I wanted to control the zombies.” The city lord walked to Chu Xinxin’s side, “but I failed. That whistle could only last for two days.”
"Many people died because of your experiment..." Chu Xinxin's voice was a little unsteady, "He never killed a single good person, it's you who deserve to die!"
She slowly buried her face in her hands.
A glistening liquid seeped from between the fingers.
"It's all my fault. Jack was just following my orders."
The city lord patted Chu Xinxin's shoulder with a warm and strong hand: "Stay, child. I'm dying soon. From now on, the base will depend on you."
......
When Chu Xinxin came out of the city lord's mansion, Jiang Mo, David and the others immediately surrounded her.
Why are you still here?
Chu Xinxin's voice was very hoarse, as if it had rolled over rough sand and gravel, making it very unpleasant to listen to.
"Wherever you are, I'll be there!" Jiang Mo punched Chu Xinxin's shoulder. "How about that?"
Chu Xinxin, however, fell to the ground following her momentum.
"Heart!"
......
Chu Xinxin returned to the research institute.
Just like before, my life revolves around three points: sleeping, eating, and conducting experiments.
It's as if that shameless peacock who insisted on sticking to me never existed.
The difference is that Wei Yan is no longer here.
“You’re following me not because you really want to learn anything.”
After Chu Xinxin woke up, she immediately checked the surveillance footage to see who had come to collect the serum.
She initially thought it was Director Wu, but it turned out to be Wei Yan.
The video was deleted, but the system found a backup on Wei Yan's computer.
"Professor Chu, I'm sorry," Wei Yan muttered to himself before leaving. "I really just wanted to learn from you."
His response was to Chu Xinxin closing the door.
David also led Squad 01 back to Base C.
Base C was furious about Si Beiting's sacrifice.
However, when the city lord produced the report, the voices of the higher-ups at Base C fell silent.
Gradually, this person was no longer mentioned.
Only occasionally at night, when Chu Xinxin couldn't sleep, would she take his photo out of her diary, put it down under the lamp, and look at it again and again.
"System, is he really dead?"
My deepest condolences, sister.
After a long pause, the system spoke again: "His heart stopped beating three seconds after he fell into the pit."
"Could it be beyond your detection range?"
Chu Xinxin remembered that the system had said that once they entered the City of Death, his detection range would shrink.
Sister... is not outside the detection range.
The system couldn't understand it either; Si Beiting had a six-pointed star, so he didn't seem like someone who would die young.
But facts are facts.
"It's come to this, sister, don't think about it too much. Let's hurry up and do the mission. Once we finish it, we can leave this world!"
The system enticingly said, "[There are three thousand great worlds and countless small worlds. Perhaps next time, when we go to a parallel world, you'll meet him again!]"
What will happen to the world after I'm gone?
[Usually, it involves erasing people's memories of you... Hey sister, you're already gone, why worry about it anymore? Even if this world disappears, it won't interfere with the normal operation of other worlds.]
The system said nonchalantly.
Chu Xinxin raised her head and stared at a point in the void, as if the system was right there.
Chu Xinxin asked, word by word, "So, the lives of people in our small world aren't lives? You can do whatever you want with them?"
