In her previous life, she was indeed killed by the combined force of humans and the Zombie King.
But in this life, the Zombie King who could kill her in her past life was now nowhere to be found, posing no threat whatsoever. By the time it grew stronger, she would have reached an insurmountable level.
Human firearms? Useless against her in her past life, even less so in this one. In her past life, she worried about whether her resistance would harm humans; in this life, she had no such worries. She won’t actively harm anyone, nor would she foolishly stand there and let herself be attacked. Anyone who wanted to kill her must be prepared to bear the consequences.
Under the scorching sun, Fu Ke lay on the hillside, remarking on how adaptable these plants were. They had adapted well to the changing seasons of day and night.
However, these plants were inedible for humans.
Fu Ke hadn’t allowed the researchers to be killed; they were to be taken back to the D City base. Except for that old researcher who was truly ruthless, the others were forced into it.
She was giving them a chance to be reborn, a chance to repent. Let them research something useful for humanity. After all, Fu Ke knew that in her past life she had researched nutrient solutions, but she had no idea how to make them.
In her past life, she was just a silly, clueless zombie.
Lan Sheng walked into the abandoned factory, a strong stench of blood assaulting his nostrils. The shattered corpses scattered on the ground almost made him want to vomit.
He looked around, but there wasn’t a single living person in sight.
Finally, he found the entrance to the research institute. Upon entering, he saw a man in a white robe whose clothes were torn to shreds, most of his flesh stripped away, revealing the bones beneath.
Song Jing and the others had already gone inside, as the man’s head had been separated from his body.
His heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped over the corpses and ran inside: “Song Fei? Sister Jing? Where are you?”
Song Fei heard Lan Sheng’s voice, opened the door, and looked at Lan Sheng with a serious expression. His eyes were red: “These scum!”
Lan Sheng’s face paled, and he went inside.
However, the person on the experimental bed wasn’t Lan Zhi. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. But upon closer inspection, it was a small child on the lab bed.
“This is…” Lan Sheng was speechless with shock.
“Wipe your sweat!” Xiao Heng’s voice rang out.
Song Jing quickly picked up a prepared cotton cloth to wipe Xiao Heng’s sweat. She saw Xiao Heng using tweezers to stitch up the child’s abdomen, one stitch at a time.
For a moment, Lan Sheng didn’t understand what was happening.
Wei Yu’s tears kept falling, and he stood in the corner, not daring to look at them.
“Bast**ds! I’m going to kill these researchers!” Lin Lizhong roared with a fiery temper.
He turned around to go find the researchers, who were tied up in another laboratory. That laboratory was filled with a group of ordinary people locked in cages.
“Come back!” Song Jing scolded while assisting Xiao Heng, “Miss Fu said to tie them up first. Even if you want to kill them, you have to notify Miss Fu first before you do it.”
Lin Lizhong angrily slammed his fist against the wall.
“Alright!” Xiao Heng cut the wires and looked at the little boy lying quietly on the lab bed. The smile he had been trying to show instantly froze.
“Dead—”
The entire laboratory fell silent.
After a long while, Wei Yu finally couldn’t hold back his sobs and burst into tears: “These bast**ds! This child is so young, he’s only a few years old! How could they, how could they!”
Lan Sheng pursed his lips.
Even the usually strong-willed Song Jing had tears welling up in her eyes. She gripped the white sheet on the lab bed tightly, which was already stained red with blood.
Xiao Heng sat down heavily on the floor, covering his face and hiding his eyes. Tears fell onto his palms.
No wonder, no wonder Fu Ke told them to be mentally prepared when they came.
Zhou Zaihe hugged the sobbing Wei Yu: “Don’t cry, don’t cry.”
Chen Yue went over and carefully wrapped the child in the sheet.
“What are you doing?” Song Jing looked at Chen Yue with red eyes.
Chen Yue didn’t stop. He wrapped the child up and carried him on his back. “Let’s go. After we’re done, we’ll give this child a proper burial.”
Song Fei went over and patted his sister’s shoulder comfortingly. “Sister, let’s go.”
A somber mood permeated the group. Lan Sheng had already guessed what was going on but dared not ask.
After leaving this lab, they opened the door to the next one. This time, a zombie was lying on the lab bed. But it didn’t elicit much of a reaction from them.
After all, they didn’t think much of using zombies for experiments.
Only Lan Sheng’s face darkened when he saw the zombie on the lab bed. They didn’t react because they didn’t know that the zombie on the bed was likely the result of experiments on humans.
But the scene they had just witnessed had already been a huge blow to them. Lan Sheng opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.
Song Jing swiftly severed the zombie’s head from its body.
Several bloody labs were opened one after another. The last one they opened, however, was a clean-looking lab, which relieved everyone.
Along the way, their hearts were heavier than after experiencing the long apocalypse.
“Why is there a cage?” Song Fei looked at the experimental bed covered by the cage and vaguely saw a person lying inside.
“Don’t…come any closer…” A harsh voice, like a broken bellows, suddenly came from inside.
Lan Sheng saw that the cage was connected to electricity and grabbed Song Fei back: “Don’t move, this should be electrified.”
Who was inside that made them so cautious, even locking him in an electrified cage?
Thinking of what Fu Ke had said, that Lan Zhi had become a zombie but had not lost consciousness or memory, his hand holding Song Fei trembled slightly.
Could it be Lan Zhi?
Song Jing saw the switch for the electricity, a gate: “Song Fei, is your brain just for show? Look carefully, this is high voltage! Touching it will electrocute you!”
She said irritably as she turned off the gate.
As soon as the gate was off, Lan Sheng couldn’t wait to open the cage. The cage wasn’t locked from the outside; it was just a simple lock. It could be easily opened by simply turning off the current.
Once opened, Lan Sheng’s eyes reddened when he saw the person inside: “Lan Zhi!”
But upon closer inspection, he saw that Lan Zhi’s hands and feet were handcuffed to the experimental bed. These handcuffs and shackles were different from those they had seen before, and Lan Sheng couldn’t find a way to open them.
“Roar…” Lan Zhi saw Lan Sheng and was also excited. But before he could utter a word, he let out a familiar howl.
“Lan Sheng, come out quickly!” Song Fei was startled and, without thinking, grabbed Lan Sheng and tried to drag him out.
“Don’t pull me! Quickly help me find him! Lan Zhi is trapped inside. His hands and feet are handcuffed to the lab bed. Help me find him, I need to unlock him.” Lan Sheng overestimated himself.
He had previously said that if Lan Zhi really turned into a zombie, he would kill him directly.
But upon seeing Lan Zhi, Lan Sheng suddenly realized that if Fu Ke hadn’t told him that Lan Zhi, although a zombie, still retained his sanity, he still wouldn’t have been able to bring himself to do it.
Liu Qi grabbed Lan Sheng, shouting, “Lan Sheng, didn’t you hear? Lan Zhi has become a zombie! He’s a zombie!”
“He’s my brother!” Lan Sheng roared, his eyes red-rimmed. “Didn’t you hear him talking just now?”
“Talking means he wasn’t a zombie yet, but now he is. Lan Sheng, calm down,” Zhou Zaihe said, walking over. “We all wanted to save Lan Zhi; otherwise, we wouldn’t have followed you here knowing how dangerous it was.”
“But… Lan Zhi has become a zombie!”
“Yes! Lan Zhi has become a zombie, but he still recognizes me! He won’t eat people like other zombies. Because he still remembers he’s human!” Lan Sheng turned to go inside.
Song Jing gave Xiao Heng a look.
Xiao Heng walked over and struck Lan Sheng hard on the back of the neck. Caught off guard, Lan Sheng immediately fainted.
Song Jing sighed, “Lin Lizhong, carry Lan Sheng on your back. I’ll go in and take a look.”
“Let me do it, sis.” Song Fei saw Song Jing’s hands trembling slightly and knew she wasn’t as calm as she appeared.
Lan Zhi wanted to speak, but he couldn’t utter a single word. He opened his mouth and let out a howl: “Roar—”
Song Fei stood at the cage entrance, holding his usual long knife, but his feet seemed rooted to the spot. He couldn’t get into the cage.
Fu Ke stood at the doorway with her arms crossed, a smile playing on her blood-red eyes: “Need my help?”
The person inside was startled and turned around.
“Fu…” However, upon seeing her blood-red eyes, his expression instantly changed.
They all knew what colored contact lenses looked like; these blood-red eyes clearly couldn’t be from colored contact lenses. There was only one possibility.
She was a zombie!
How could that be? Her eyes were normal just now. If she had accidentally become a zombie after being injured, how could she still speak to them like a normal person?
Fu Ke looked at Lan Sheng, who was being carried on Lin Lizhong’s back, and shook her head helplessly: “Too careless.” If she hadn’t come over, this guy inside would probably have been taken care of by these people.
But it seemed they couldn’t bring themselves to do it.
“Are you a zombie?” Song Jing looked at Fu Ke in disbelief.
Before Fu Ke could answer, Lan Sheng, who had been knocked unconscious, suddenly spoke.
“Hmm…” He moved, touching his neck and slowly opened his eyes: “I… Fu Ke?” He was about to say what happened to him when he saw Fu Ke.
“Make way.” As Fu Ke walked over, the others instinctively avoided her, but whether because they were too shocked or something else, they forgot to attack her. Fu Ke walked into the cage and saw a man with a pale face and a pair of bloodshot eyes filled with sadness.
She hadn’t thought of him when she saw the photos before, but now that she saw Lan Zhi, Fu Ke was a little suspicious. She felt that this man looked a little familiar.
But after thinking about it, she still couldn’t remember.
She smiled at Lan Zhi: “Don’t be nervous.” Her fingers lightly touched the handcuffs and leg irons binding his limbs.
A click was heard, and they opened.
The sound was like flipping a switch; Song Jing reacted instantly, reaching out to close the cage door: “Song Fei, turn on the power!”
True to their sibling bond, before Song Jing could even finish speaking, Song Fei had already turned on the electricity.
“What are you doing!” Lan Sheng, who had been knocked unconscious and woken by Fu Ke, was still somewhat dizzy, his neck still aching. He subconsciously wanted to stop them, but Lin Lizhong stopped him.
Song Jing glanced at Lan Sheng, her lips trembling slightly: “They…they’re zombies.”
Lan Sheng almost laughed in anger, staggering to his feet: “If Fu Ke wanted to kill us, we would have been dead long ago!”
Inside the cage, Fu Ke seemed oblivious to his confinement, looking at Lan Zhi: “Aren’t you getting up? Planning to lie here forever?”
Lan Zhi’s bloodshot eyes flickered. He looked at Fu Ke, and after a long while, slowly sat up from the experimental bed.
His movements seemed somewhat stiff.
Fu Ke sized up Lan Zhi, then suddenly smiled: “Don’t be so pathetic. At least you remember everything. You won’t be like those mindless zombies, attacking even your own family.”
