"You dare! Jack, you piece of trash! You dare to move a muscle!" David struggled desperately, trying to rush forward to stop him.
Jack seemed not to hear.
David was tied up by the superhumans, and he couldn't even touch the hem of Jack's clothes.
"Knock him out and take him away too."
"Let me go!"
David tried to ram the superhumans with his body, but was immediately pinned to the ground, his mouth full of dust.
Even before he was knocked unconscious, he kept cursing, "If I had known, I shouldn't have saved you when we escaped from City A!"
Jack lowered his eyes, looking at David, who was covered in filth, and said in a voice only his own, "If it weren't for this, you'd be down there feeding the zombies with Si Beiting right now..."
......
S base.
The superhuman warriors battle the Zombie King in the Valley of Death and the City of Death.
This title was adapted into dozens of versions and circulated in every corner of the base.
The stories may differ in their details, but the ending is always the same: Jack successfully defeats the zombie king and creates a new future for humanity.
History is always decided by the victorious side that survives.
"Professor Chu is still not eating or drinking and has been locking himself in his dormitory?"
Director Wu asked with concern.
Wei Yan was also worried: "Well, the food sent in is sent out untouched."
"How many days has it been?"
"She's been like this ever since she woke up." Wei Yan sighed. "I've given her IV fluids several times... Director Wu, is the General really not coming back?"
"The general has already sacrificed his life," Director Wu said regretfully.
"Then Professor Chu..."
"She has to get through this on her own."
......
dormitory.
Chu Xinxin lay on the bed, quietly looking out the window.
Colorful ribbons were hung in the distance, and the city lord's mansion was brightly lit even in the dark of night, as if celebrating the defeat of the zombie king.
A hint of mockery flashed in Chu Xinxin's eyes.
Si Beiting and his team of superhumans spearheaded a fierce battle against the zombies.
Jack, leading his elite forces, not only defeated the Zombie King but also brought back the corpses of several high-level zombies.
The people in the city lord's mansion are probably already dreaming of dominating the world.
Chu Xinxin pulled out the IV tube and slowly walked to the window.
The cold wind in the dark night was biting, and Chu Xinxin's fingertips were frozen red.
A dark thought began to take root in her mind...
Just wait, one day she'll throw these heartless bastards into the "deep pit" too...
......
"What did you say?"
Director Wu frowned, and the joy he felt when he saw Chu Xinxin appear in the laboratory faded.
Chu Xinxin: "I said, I want the villa for Squad 01."
It seems they haven't gotten over it yet.
"Professor Chu, the dead cannot be brought back to life. If you move in there and are constantly reminded of the deceased, it will not be good for your physical and mental health."
"I'll resign, or you can give me the villa; it's up to you."
Director Wu thought to himself, "It's just a villa. It would be a loss if Chu Xinxin resigned."
Besides, why would he want to be the villain?
Director Wu's eyes darted around: "I can't make this decision myself. I'll go and ask the city lord for instructions first."
Chu Xinxin gave a faint "hmm" and "invited" him out the door.
Director Wu immediately went to the city lord's mansion, but the city lord refused what he thought was a sure thing.
It wasn't a refusal, but Jack wouldn't let him see the city lord.
"It does not comply with the base's laws."
Jack, in a businesslike manner, showed no leniency: "Unless Professor Chu is willing to live with other superhumans."
Even if you reach the rank of general, you still have to share the same villa with others.
Who does Chu Xinxin think she is? Does she even deserve to be called her?
Jack finished speaking and turned to leave.
“Then please inform the city lord, and I will explain to him personally.” Director Wu pulled him back, adopting a humble posture: “The city lord has always been very lenient towards Professor Chu.”
“That was before,” Jack sneered. “Chief Wu, you’ve probably forgotten that zombies are now a controllable factor.”
Director Wu was taken aback: "Lieutenant General, what are you trying to say?"
"I'm wondering if the research institute is even necessary anymore. After all, its annual expenses are higher than the total security costs for the entire base. It's time to cut costs..."
Crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge?
Director Wu clenched his fists: "Is this the city lord's intention?"
"This is the intention of the entire base." Jack called someone in and saw Director Wu off.
Before leaving, he said in a condescending tone, "After all, the people in the research institute have hardly ever been to the pioneer area, yet they enjoy first-class treatment. Everyone has long had complaints about this."
If anyone has a problem with this, you're probably referring to yourself when you say "everyone"!
Director Wu was so angry that his internal organs ached.
Depend on!
Who saved the city lord's life back then? It was Chu Xinxin's new type of barrier agent!
Now you're saying everyone at their research institute is useless?!
I'm so angry!
Director Wu embellished the story and told it to Chu Xinxin.
Jack's tone and demeanor were described in detail.
Chu Xinxin didn't react at the time.
He simply turned around and destroyed all the remaining blocking agents, other drugs against the zombie virus, and reports.
By the time Director Wu found out, the bonfire had turned to ashes.
It's still cold.
"Professor Chu, why bother? This is all your hard work."
The electronic files were also completely deleted.
Director Wu was so heartbroken that tears were about to fall.
Chu Xinxin handed Director Wu a list: "The research institute lost a total of 250 gold coins. Here is the list."
After saying that, Chu Xinxin picked up her suitcase and left.
Director Wu turned to the second page of the list, where he found a resignation letter.
"Professor Chu, please wait a moment, Professor Chu..."
Chu Xinxin had already walked away with her suitcase...
"Grass!"
Director Wu wiped his face bitterly. Without Chu Xinxin, what's the point of this research institute?
Chu Xinxin carried her suitcase all the way to the central square before stopping.
Without saying a word, she simply opened her suitcase and put up a sign next to it.
"The zombie virus vaccine was developed by Chu Xinxin."
The crowd rushing to catch the early shift gathered around.
"Is it true or false? I've never heard of it before."
"Chu Xinxin... that name sounds familiar."
"Professor Chu from the research institute, the researcher of barrier agents!"
They recognized Chu Xinxin, but none of them dared to step forward.
Half an hour passed, and Chu Xinxin hadn't delivered a single vaccine.
Chu Xinxin said impatiently, "Hurry up and call."
"Professor Chu, this really can..."
"No..." The crowd split into two, and Jack walked in: "Unauthorized sale of fake vaccines without base approval."
He clapped his hands behind him, and a squad of guards appeared.
"Take Professor Chu away."
"Who dares?" The members of Squad 01 appeared, surrounded Chu Xinxin, and confronted the guards.
David stepped forward, looking at Jack with a sinister gaze: "You bastard who stabs people in the back."
"By what right do you speak to me like that?" Jack asked David, his face grim.
"Speaking to a beast as a human being."
"Are you looking for death...?"
Jack suddenly pointed the gun at David.
Chu Xinxin pulled David away, then faced Jack's gun and shouted to the surrounding crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, this vaccine is made from the virus in the Zombie King's serum, through special processing. I and everyone in Squad 01 have been vaccinated, and so far no one has experienced any adverse reactions. The Zombie King is dead, and every dose of this vaccine is one less available..."
Sensing something amiss, some decided to get their hands on the vaccine first.
"I want it! Here are a hundred gold coins!"
"Professor Chu! I arrived the earliest, I want one too! I'll pay two hundred!"
"Stop! Nobody is allowed to go!"
The situation spiraled out of Jack's control.
People are scrambling for vaccines and aren't listening to anything he's saying...
Team 01 scattered the vaccines into the sky, causing chaos at the scene.
A vaccine vial happened to hit Jack on the head. When he took it off, he saw a sentence written on the vial containing the vaccine—
"A tribute to General Si Beiting, who truly perished alongside the Zombie King."
There was another sentence on the back of the pipe—
"As for Jack, he's just a murderer who stole the fruits of others' labor."
Jack's face darkened: "Professor Chu, don't test my limits."
Chu Xinxin coldly returned his gaze: "Then I'll trouble you, Lieutenant General, to bear with it. After all, things like this will only get more and more frequent..."
Amidst the chaotic scene, the two gazed at each other from afar.
A dividing line was formed between the crowds scrambling for vaccines.
The morning sun shone on Chu Xinxin, while Jack was shrouded in darkness. Between the light and shadow, Chu Xinxin said, word by word, "You, too, should become history..."
