Chapter 820: Hunting at Dawn (36)
[Hatred Points for Liang Xuan are full.]
After Liang Xuan disappeared for three months, Ming Shu received this announcement from the Harmony System.
The world now was harder to survive in.
It was hot and there was a lack of water and supplies. All kinds of viruses started spreading and the death rate of humans was pushed even higher.
This was really forcing humans into extinction.
On the other hand, the zombies seemed more carefree. They were not afraid of the heat and didn’t need to drink water. They would also not be affected by any virus.
Ming Shu would always bring her zombies around and create trouble. Voices of discontent could be heard from all the survivors. However, some people started to realize that with Ming Shu around, humans were the safest.
The zombies would not kill humans in front of her.
Other humans didn’t dare to provoke her and she would allow humans to live under her—as long as they gave her supplies.
More people started moving toward An City.
The gate of An City was always open but there were many zombies loitering outside. At first, people just observed.
After a while, someone rushed in. The zombies chased them but they stopped at the city gate. After a while, they would continue loitering around as though nothing had happened.
As long as you were bold enough and ran over quickly, you would be able to pass through the zombies and enter the city.
Not everyone was lucky enough to reach the city. Many people were killed by the zombies outside, but people were still willing to take the risk to go in.
An City was safer than the world outside.
As more and more humans entered An City, An City started to get lively. It was not messy as zombies would still loiter around the streets every day.
The zombies in the city would not attack people. However, if anyone dared to offend the zombies, they would be thrown out to become food for the zombies outside.
Once the population grew, the burden of the city got heavier. This time, there were two species living in the same city.
Ming Shu and the zombie that wanted to change the world colluded and built boundaries around An City.
Humans could no longer enter An City. They could live outside An City. As long as they didn’t cross the border, the zombies would not attack them.
As for those that were already in An City, they were not chased out.
Instead, they needed to be responsible for the cleaning of the city as well as some simple construction.
The zombies, on the other hand, were very relaxed. They would squat along the streets all day and look at them work with dazed expressions.
Humans: “…” So angry!
As the space for humans to live grew smaller, someone negotiated with Ming Shu and asked her to let them do research on her. They might be able to find a solution to all this.
Before Ming Shu could say anything, Yuan Ye exploded first.
“What are you angry for? They are researching me, not you.”
“Besides me, no one is allowed to touch you.” Yuan Ye had a dark face.
He couldn’t even bear it when she lost a strand of hair and these people actually wanted to experiment on her? They must be tired of living.
“Yesterday, Ye Xiangsi and the little zombie touched me. Do you want to go and kill them?”
Yuan Ye: “…” Do you have to go against me!!
Ye Xiangsi was coincidentally standing outside when they were talking and she heard everything. She was in a daze. What did she do wrong? Why did they want to kill her?
“Xiangsi, why are you standing here?”
Ye Xiangsi turned around. Su Tai had come out from the room next door. She gave a forced smile. “Miss… Miss Xia said that she wants to kill me.”
??? Su Tai was bewildered.
She didn’t even kill anyone. Why would she want to kill Ye Xiangsi?
Su Tai walked over and listened for a while. The two people in the room seemed to be arguing. He patted Ye Xiangsi’s shoulder. “She must be arguing with Yuan Ye.”
“I know…” If she didn’t know this, would she still dare to stand here? Ye Xiangsi exclaimed, “Miss Xia and Yuan Ye’s relationship is really good.”
Su Tai replied in a curious tone, “Why don’t I see it?”
Yuan Ye treated her very well, but she… he felt that Yuan Ye was always bullied by her. Quarreling was just a small matter to them. She would even hit him sometimes.
Ye Xiangsi pushed her hair behind her ear. “How do I put it… although Miss Xia looks like she doesn’t treat Yuan Ye well, she will always wait for Yuan Ye when he stays out late. When we go out, there will always be a lot of zombies around Yuan Ye. She will look at Yuan Ye whenever he does anything, even if it is just the smallest action…”
“I never noticed…” All he saw was them arguing all the time.
Ye Xiangsi smiled. “Maybe the details females see are different from you all. Miss Xia is just stubborn.”
“She is stubborn to everyone.”
“Er… true.”
Su Tai saw that the argument inside was still ongoing and changed the topic. “You have something to tell her?”
“I almost forgot about the important thing. Professor Bao asked me to call Miss Xia. They seem to have made a new breakthrough in their research.”
Professor Bao was the zombie.
He forced them to call him Professor Bao.
If they didn’t, he would go crazy. When he went crazy, he would add all kinds of scenes for himself.
–
Professor Bao showcased his new breakthrough to Ming Shu. The latter replied to him without interest, “Not bad, not bad.”
Professor Bao: “…”
“Did you look at it carefully?”
Ming Shu looked at it carefully. “… It looks better than before.”
At least the body proportions were normal and there was nothing weird growing out.
Professor Bao was angry. “Shallow.”
“What are you shouting?” Yuan Ye looked at him irritatedly.
Professor Bao pointed at Ming Shu and Yuan Ye. “All you do is date, romance, love. You have no ambition at all. You all are the worst batch that I ever took!”
Everyone: “…”
What storyline is this again?
“Let me tell you, if you all don’t study hard now, in the future…”
Ming Shu took out her snacks. Let’s eat and ignore this idiot.
Yuan Ye placed his hand on Ming Shu’s waist. He kept staring at Professor Bao. Should I shut him up so that he will not disturb my wife when she is eating?
“What are the evolvers you all keep talking about?” Su Tai interrupted Professor Bao first.
Since he was asked about his professional knowledge, Professor Bao stopped lecturing and started speaking enthusiastically.
The evolvers had to have the same appearance as a human but their abilities would be greater than a normal human, be it their physical quality or special ability.
However, the experiments kept failing.
Now, his experimental subjects already reached his desired level of ability, but their appearance was not right.
Once the ability was there, the appearance was not. Once the appearance was there, the ability was not.
Hao Zi couldn’t help but scold him. “This Doomsday must be created by you all. Why are you still researching this? Look at what the world has turned into.”
Professor Bao slammed the table. “Bullshit, what does Doomsday have to do with us!”
Hao Zi slammed the table too. “Did you not cause it!”
Everyone looked at Professor Bao simultaneously.
Professor Bao was indignant. “Your head, what does it have to do with us? We are researching people, not viruses. They are evolvers, not biochemical weapons!!”
Hao Zi raised his voice too. “If they can’t spread viruses, where did the zombies come from? You still want to push the blame!”
“Impossible. It has nothing to do with us.”
“It is your fault…”
“Nope.”
“It is!!”
The two of them started quarreling just like this. Ming Shu raised her hand and stopped them. “It might really have nothing to do with them.”
