Xu Qian sat on the ground, frantically searching the map for any signs of life.
The map zoomed in and out, in and out.
Were there any survivors left? Any at all?
Even just one would be enough!
"Xu Qian, Xu Qian, what's wrong?"
In the apocalypse, the destruction of a base was a common occurrence. If even a few zombies infiltrated a base and weren't promptly dealt with, the zombie virus could spread like wildfire.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised.
He was only surprised that a base had been established here.
"Shut up!"
Xu Qian's eyes were red. These two words took almost all her strength.
No survivors.
Not a single one.
How many zombies had Song Xiaoping put in the future base?
In less than 3 hours, less than 3 hours, all the living people in the city were gone...
Tang Zhiyuan didn't get angry. He sensed something was wrong, very wrong.
Xu Qian was a calm and intelligent person, but now she had lost her composure and control.
He chose to stay by her side in silence.
The sky grew darker, and zombies began to wander in packs, their noises growing louder.
Only then did Xu Qian slowly lift her head, staring at the starless sky for a long, long time.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "Tang Zhiyuan, can you develop a vaccine to turn zombies back into humans?"
Tang Zhiyuan was stunned. He had indeed considered it, but the difficulty was too high, and the resources required were too vast. It wasn't something that could be researched in a short time.
"I'll do my best."
One day, he would succeed, in five years, ten years...
"I am half-zombie. I will cooperate with your research."
Xu Qian had figured it out. Song Xiaoping wanted to force her, to force her to surrender, to force her to admit defeat.
His goal was to turn all humans in Z-country into zombies. She would not let him have his way.
She wanted to save Z-country, she wanted to save humanity, she wanted to save those mindless zombies and restore them to their original selves.
He had taken away her home; she would take away everything from him.
Without zombies, what could he do?
[Ding, detected host exhibiting strong fighting spirit. System specially rewards 20 vials of D-country serum.]
Xu Qian's expression didn't change. D-country serum, wasn't that the batch she had robbed in the cave?
Tang Zhiyuan's whole body turned cold, his voice stiff, "What are you talking about? You're a zombie?"
The girl glanced at him. "Yes."
Tang Zhiyuan had a secret: he detested zombies, intensely.
Ever since he had woken up from his coma four years ago, everything had changed. He felt an inexplicable aversion and disgust towards zombies.
While he hated zombies, he was also passionate about researching them. He wanted to create something that could fight against them...
Now, the woman before him, who overlapped with his memories, claimed to be a zombie.
A zombie he hated!
Tang Zhiyuan looked at her red-rimmed eyes and suddenly felt that zombies weren't so detestable after all.
Perhaps it was because it was her.
"I will do everything in my power."
"No." The girl leaned in and hugged him, tightly and forcefully, as if clinging to her entire world.
"I'll do it with you. Two years, we can definitely research it in two years."
The man's eyelashes trembled slightly. He responded in a deep voice.
He raised his hands, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged her back.
Brother, just let me be selfish this once.
Xu Qian closed her eyes, but her mind was very clear. There were still two and a half years...
Was the apocalypse ending, or just beginning?
We shall see.
She would never lose.
The sky gradually brightened, and a black airplane landed.
Tang Zhishen was stunned when he received the news. Why had Xu Qian suddenly gone to N Province, and why was she with Zhiyuan...
After disembarking, he saw them standing shoulder to shoulder, their expressions indifferent.
At that moment, they looked exceptionally well-matched.
