The deeper they went into the sea, the darker it became, and the colder the temperature in the cabin.
Xu Lü moaned in discomfort. Even without touching water, they were surrounded by the seabed.
"Sister..."
"Sister..."
"Xiao Lü, endure it a little longer. We can't go up."
Xie Yayun tried to wipe his sweat, but he slapped her hand away.
"Don't touch me."
Xu Qian glanced back at him, seeing his pale face and trembling body.
Her gaze deepened. He hadn't had blood for two days.
Xu Qian's thoughts stirred, and a small glass bottle appeared in her hand. It contained blood she had saved for Xu Lü, just in case of such an emergency.
"Sister Ya Yun, give it to him to drink."
"Okay."
Xie Yayun didn't know what it was. A sweet, fishy scent wafted out as she opened it. She brought the bottle to his lips.
"Xiao Lü, drink it quickly. Your sister gave it to you."
Suddenly, Xu Lü opened his eyes, his green irises faintly glowing in the darkness.
Xie Yayun's hand trembled in fear, and some blood spilled onto his lips.
The youth licked his lips with his tongue, then suddenly snatched the glass bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
A gulp.
The sweet fragrance filled his mouth, and a flicker of light flashed in Xu Lü's eyes. His sister's blood tasted so good...
Soon, the youth's eyelids drooped, and his chest felt heavy.
He couldn't drink his sister's blood. Humans would die from excessive blood loss...
"Sister... I can't..."
"Shh, it's okay, it was saved for you."
Xie Yayun stood frozen, not moving. Green eyes that glowed, wasn't that a zombie?
Yi Chun also saw it, and her lips trembled as she asked, "Military Advisor, is Xiao Lü... a zombie?"
Xu Qian blinked and glanced back.
Xu Lü's striking green eyes shone in the darkness.
"..." The downside of zombies was their eyes glowing at night.
"Mm, he won't bite you."
Of course, they knew Xu Lü wouldn't bite them. Apart from being a bit cold and quiet, he was almost like a normal person.
If it weren't for this accident, they might never have known he was a zombie.
"Xiao Qian, you should have told us in advance. We wouldn't have minded."
"Right, Military Advisor."
Xu Qian smiled, "I just didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd be scared."
The two quickly waved their hands. How could they be?
They trusted Xu Qian one hundred percent. Even if she brought an army of zombies to Jixiang Base, they wouldn't believe Xu Qian would harm them.
Xie Yayun patted Xu Lü's shoulder, comforting him, "Xiao Lü, it's okay. We're good friends."
Yi Chun chimed in, "Xiao Lü, you don't need to have any psychological burden."
Xu Lü's complexion improved significantly after drinking the blood. Although he still felt a bit uncomfortable, he could bear it.
He smiled at their words. Apart from his sister, he had no interest in any other human. Whether they liked him or not was meaningless to him.
Suddenly, Xu Qian's pupils contracted. A massive dark shadow suddenly rammed towards them.
Before she could even react, the submarine rolled like a ball towards the seabed.
Xu Qian gritted her teeth and pulled the steering wheel, doing her best to stabilize the submarine.
The submarine wasn't large; it was oval-shaped and quite stable.
The two women and the zombie were tossed around until they were dizzy and couldn't even sit still.
Xu Qian bore the brunt of the impact at the front. Her vision swam, and her stomach churned with acid.
Before she could recover, the mutated whale lunged at them again.
This time, Xu Qian wasn't foolish enough to stay put and let it play with them.
She accelerated the submarine to its maximum speed, gritting her teeth and using all her skill to steer and evade the mutated whale.
"Everyone fasten your seatbelts!"
