When Xu Qian arrived at that corner, she understood why they were so confident.
This was X Group's experimental pod, a pod that could survive even a radiation bomb.
The door wasn't locked, indicating they were prepared to die rather than leave.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. With a thought, a large sofa appeared outside the door.
She sat down leisurely and knocked on the door.
"Hiding like this won't solve anything, will it? You'll die if you come out, and you'll die if you stay in. Might as well die sooner and be free?"
Everyone inside turned pale at the sound, shrinking into the corner and trembling.
"I have plenty of patience. If I wait for ten days to half a month, you'll either starve to death or suffocate."
The person in charge suddenly stood up, glaring at the monitor. The woman on the screen was lounging on the sofa, casually crossing her legs.
It seemed she truly intended to wait forever.
The man tapped the intercom and yelled in despair, "Xu Qian, what will it take for you to let us go?"
The girl smiled slightly and looked up at the camera.
"Let you go?"
"Impossible."
The man gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I've already notified Hope Base and Yu Corporation headquarters. They'll be here soon."
"Oh?"
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled, "That would be great. We can take care of them all at once."
The man's face turned dark with rage. He grabbed his phone and frantically tapped.
Hope Base didn't respond! Headquarters didn't respond!
What was going on?!
He Yueyue ran over quickly. Though her face was covered by a mask, her urgency was evident.
"Qian... wuwuwu..."
Xu Qian's figure flickered, and she covered He Yueyue's mouth before she could cry out.
"Let's talk over here."
The two walked to a corner, and He Yueyue lowered her voice. "Earlier, I wanted to kill the zombies in the experimental pod, right?"
"Before I even went in, one of the zombies' lower bodies..."
He Yueyue's expression was conflicted, as if the words were hard to say.
Xu Qian's lips pressed together tightly, and she said coldly, "Just say it."
"A child fell out of its lower body... a zombie child."
Xu Qian's expression changed slightly. A zombie child? Could the red-eyed zombies Yu Corporation released be...
carriers for birthing zombies?
"Let's go."
The two ran to the experimental pod. They saw a female zombie with an umbilical cord still attached to its lower body.
The zombie child lay on the ground, its body a dead gray, its eyes orange-red, clawing and struggling to bite off the umbilical cord.
Its teeth were like drills, incredibly terrifying.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and opened the experimental pod door. The zombies inside didn't surge out or attack her. Instead, they continued to mill about.
She put on gloves and squatted beside the zombie child.
Xu Qian grabbed its little hand with one hand, cut the umbilical cord with the other, and lifted it out.
He Yueyue stared curiously at the zombie infant thrashing in her hands.
"A zombie giving birth to a zombie child?"
With a thought, Xu Qian produced a white towel and wrapped the thing tightly.
It bared its teeth, but couldn't break free.
"If zombies can reproduce, then the world is truly doomed."
Because humans couldn't reproduce.
The population was still gradually declining.
"Hold this."
He Yueyue was stunned but reached out and took it.
"Sister Qian, why are you keeping it?"
Xu Qian's mind flickered, and a combat knife appeared in her hand.
"To raise it, of course."
Raise a zombie??
The girl directly pulled open the glass door and eliminated all the red-eyed zombies inside.
She was so thorough, fearing they wouldn't die completely, that she dismembered them, chopping them into ten or even more pieces.
Even the well-traveled He Yueyue squinted her eyes, stimulated by the sight of so much blood.
The zombie child stirred. He Yueyue instinctively turned and patted its bottom.
It immediately stopped moving, its orange-red eyes blinking.
Aside from its skin color, teeth, and eyes, it looked just like a real child.
