Xu Qian frowned. This must be the woman with glasses.
She brought this upon herself, constantly conducting agonizing experiments that even the heavens couldn't tolerate.
"You... are... Xu... Qian, right?"
The woman with glasses found it difficult to speak, her words coming out very, very slowly.
"Yes."
Xu Qian remained vigilant. She checked her map; this woman with glasses was a living person, not a zombie.
How could she and Wang Xingde, who had escaped the laboratory together, still be alive and not turned into zombies by now?
After all, she had been with Wang Dexing, eating human flesh...
The woman with glasses let out a cackling laugh, a chilling sound.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to decipher her intentions from her expression, but she revealed nothing, only continuing to laugh. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The young woman's brow furrowed. She didn't have time to waste on this.
She unleashed her mental power, binding the woman's mind. Just as she was about to strike—
Tears streamed down the woman with glasses' face. Crying and wailing, she choked out, "I... only cooperated with him to save my own life... I didn't want to die..."
This was her true thought, but her most genuine desire was to kill Xu Qian.
If she hadn't been left to fend for herself back then, would she have ended up in this state?
The woman with glasses was an ordinary person, so Xu Qian could naturally hear her inner thoughts.
Xu Qian sneered, "Your X Group has committed countless evils. Do you still deserve pity?"
The woman with glasses stopped crying. The skin on her lips twitched. With great effort, she managed to say, "I... was forced."
How could Xu Qian believe she was forced?
Beyond her inner thoughts, the confidence and pride she displayed while conducting experiments in front of everyone earlier were certainly not the behavior of someone who had been coerced.
"Goodbye."
She wasted no more words. Her mental power retracted abruptly, and the woman collapsed to the ground, motionless.
The woman with glasses' eyes widened, her lips parted, and she remained frozen.
As Xu Qian turned, Wang Xingde's corpse had already dissolved into a puddle.
"Let's go, Xiao Lu. There are still people upstairs."
Not long after the two left, the woman with glasses' eyes turned blood red, and she slowly stood up.
Xu Qian approached the door of the small green building and knocked.
"Is anyone in there? I'm here with supplies."
Inside, women and children huddled in a corner, weeping silently.
Just two hours ago, they had been discussing how to survive this heatwave.
Before they could freeze to death, they were killed by two psychopaths.
These women and children had been living on the third floor. The two psychopaths had come to the second floor first, which was why they had managed to escape.
Xu Qian continued knocking and explained, "I've dealt with the people downstairs. Open the door quickly, or don't blame me for kicking it down."
The people inside brightened. One of the leading women trembled and asked, "Are they really dead?"
"Yes, they're dead. Open the door quickly."
As she spoke, a woman clicked the door open, revealing a pale face.
Seeing that the person outside was also a woman, the woman sighed in relief and let them in.
Xu Qian scanned the room. There weren't many people, just a few dozen, all women and children.
They were so terrified that they no longer feared the heat, huddling together in a corner.
Xu Qian got straight to the point. "How many people are there here?"
The woman blinked and began to count, "One. Two. Three... including me, thirty-six."
Xu Qian waved her hand, and blocks of ice appeared on the ground.
She explained, "These are non-melting ice blocks. They will help you get through this heatwave.
Also, everyone downstairs is dead. Stay here until the heatwave ends, and then head straight to Hope Base."
The women and children stared in stunned silence. Their fathers/husbands/sons were all dead?
