Jack led his men along the trail to a giant rock, but the area behind the rock was now empty.
A messenger came to report: "Lieutenant General, we've searched everywhere. If we keep looking, the search will lead us to the oil field."
Jack shone his flashlight around the area but found nothing; it was as if the person had vanished into thin air.
"Go back and ask Jiang Mo."
"yes."
Jack returned to the hotel and, upon entering, saw Chu Xinxin and Jiang Mo warming themselves by the fire.
He immediately looked down and saw that Chu Xinxin's shoes and trouser legs were dry.
"Lieutenant General Jack, I heard you were looking for me?"
Chu Xinxin held a cup of hot tea, but stared at him with a cold gaze.
"Professor Chu, why are you out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Jack had practically turned the town upside down but couldn't find her, and just now, the guards discovered a bloodstain outside.
Chu Xinxin must have gone out.
"Lieutenant General Jack, what are you doing following me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Chu Xinxin asked in return.
"The city lord instructed me to protect you at all costs." Jack had a "you think I'm happy to do this?" look on his face.
Jiang Mo was furious upon seeing this.
"You're crazy, dragging me out of bed in the middle of the night and biting people like a mad dog..." Jiang Mo mocked. "How about you stand guard at our door tonight? You should be very good at your job, right?"
Jack seemed not to hear him, his eyes fixed on Chu Xinxin: "Professor Chu, wherever you go, please let me know. I don't want to disturb others."
After saying that, he left first, leaving people to guard the entrance and various exits.
Jiang Mo angrily dragged Chu Xinxin back to the room: "Is he out of his mind? I really want to cut open his head with my knife and see if it's full of water... Ugh!"
As soon as Jiang Mo entered the room, she saw a man in a black robe wearing sunglasses sitting there. She had just called out when Chu Xinxin covered her mouth.
Jack, who hadn't gone far outside, immediately returned: "Professor Chu, what's wrong?"
Chu Xinxin said softly, "I know you're curious, but don't be curious yet. First, chase away the mad dog outside."
Jiang Mo nodded, and Chu Xinxin finally let go of her.
After Jack really left, Jiang Mo immediately pulled Chu Xinxin aside and asked, "Who is he?"
That's insane, wearing sunglasses so late at night.
"From the moment you met him, he became your half-brother!"
Chu Xinxin asked Jiang Mo to arrange an identity for Si Beiting so she could bring him back to the base.
"Then you have to let me see his face..." Jiang Mo was so curious she was dying to see him, it was unbearably agonizing.
Chu Xinxin pushed her out the door without any mercy: "No, go back to your own room."
As soon as Jiang Mo left, Si Beiting threw away his sunglasses: "How about we wait until I find a way to recover before we go back?"
Wearing sunglasses every day is too conspicuous.
"On the way back, let's check other pioneering areas to see if they have any colored contact lenses."
This is the best solution Chu Xinxin can think of right now.
Sister, I have a way!
The system homepage flashed wildly: [Quickly bind to Si Beiting! His affection for you is 99.99%! What's with the colored contacts? I can directly change his eye color back to his original one!]
Chu Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Can I turn back into a human?"
Hmm...we can give it a try.
Chu Xinxin remained silent.
System: [But sister, once I'm linked to you, I can get updates on Si Beiting anytime... even if he's on the other side of the world.]
"......"
Having learned from past mistakes, Chu Xinxin admitted that she was tempted.
"Let's talk about it when we get back to base."
Chu Xinxin needs time to consider.
......
Jiang Mo asked the bar owner for help to get Si Beiting a small base identity ID, and he went back to the S base with them.
Before getting into the car, Jack tried to stop him to check on him.
Chu Xinxin fired a shot at him directly: "Lieutenant General Jack, don't keep testing my limits. Do you really think I won't leave Base S?"
The town's superhumans, hearing the gunshots, also gathered around, and were vaguely on Chu Xinxin's side.
"Lieutenant General, there's no need for that. Once we get back to base, it's still up to you to decide."
Jack gave Si Beiting a deep look before turning and leaving.
It was another very long journey.
Chu Xinxin had enough time to find out exactly what happened after Si Beiting fell into the pit.
That day, after Si Beiting fell, he was swallowed by a monster with a gaping maw.
But he was immediately rescued by the Zombie King, who dragged him to a building connected to the pit while Jack was blowing up the deep burial site.
There, the zombie king attempted to devour him.
However, a strong sense of crisis woke Si Beiting up at the critical moment.
After he exhausted himself to kill the zombie king, he was also seriously injured.
More importantly, he was infected with the Zombie King's virus.
The zombie king's virus is not something that ordinary people can resist.
Si Beiting was even more...
First, a bone-chilling cold seeped into my body, my body temperature plummeted, and my blood felt like it had frozen solid, ready to shatter into ice shards at the slightest touch.
After a long time, he felt pain again, so much so that he rammed his body against the hardest steel plate day and night.
Finally, it was both painful and hot, as if I were in a sea of fire burning everything.
After the heat subsided, Si Beiting could no longer feel his own temperature.
Even his heartbeat stopped.
The first time he saw those green eyes in the mirror, all he wanted to do was shoot himself on the spot.
He turned into that kind of thing.
Later, he found the long-forgotten documents in the building connected by that deep pit.
It turns out that the bottom of that deep pit was the birthplace of the original zombie virus.
The building was originally a research institute.
"The mIG Institute specializes in cell regeneration and evolution, and has achieved numerous scientific research results, making it well-known in the world."
That deep pit is where the research institute processes experimental waste.
The waste is destroyed and sterilized by staff every day.
For some reason, there is a virus that cannot be killed using conventional methods, and it even grows stronger over time.
Until one day, a staff member accidentally cut his hand while handling the product and contracted the virus.
At first, he was just a little stiff, then he didn't like to eat cooked food and was full of longing for bloody raw meat. Finally, one day in the laboratory, he saw his colleague's bleeding hand and couldn't bear it anymore. He bit off a piece of meat and swallowed it.
At this point, the zombie virus began to break out.
"Did you know that the zombie virus didn't just appear out of nowhere?" Si Beiting said with a wry smile. "It was created by humans."
mIG Research Institute's most confidential research project—
Humanity's eternity.
"They are delusional and attempt to achieve eternity through the combination of humans and the zombie virus."
