Phoenix’s face was deathly white. She seemed to have lost the ability to resist the zombie’s attack and just stared blankly.
“Phoenix, hurry up and dodge!” Wolf shouted towards Phoenix as he shot at the zombie.
Unexpectedly, the zombie didn’t attack Phoenix and only pulled something off her neck. Ning Shu narrowed her eyes to look at the item inside the zombie’s hand. It was a glass vial that gleamed in the sunlight.
The transparent liquid in the glass vial was thicker than normal water.
What was that?
“The corpse took the gene essence!” shouted Phoenix. Everyone was taken aback. Gene essence!?
Phoenix had found the gene essence?
Ning Shu was surprised too. What did the zombie want the gene essence for? There didn’t seem to be a scene like this in the original storyline.
“There’s no time to explain. We have to get the gene essence back first,” shouted Phoenix.
Once the zombie obtained the gene essence, it didn’t bother with Ning Shu’s group anymore and made to leave.
“Hurry up and stop it! We must obtain the gene essence!” Wolf shouted towards the four.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes in disbelief. There was no way they could beat that thing, so why were they wasting their efforts?
However, Ning Shu still dutifully shot at the zombie. And it was still completely useless. Shouldn’t they be celebrating that the zombie didn’t plan to kill them?
The zombie seemed to have gotten annoyed because it snarled at the five with a sinister expression, then charged at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: (⊙ｏ⊙)
Was the zombie charging at her because she looked the weakest out of the bunch?
The others only made a brief show of trying to stop it before giving up. They showed no intention of helping her so she could only fend for herself.
A gray hand reached straight for Ning Shu’s neck, sending over a wave of rot. The stench was so strong that Ning Shu almost retched.
She aimed at the zombie’s head and pulled the trigger, but the zombie dodged and its hand continued to approach. Ning Shu’s pupils dialated at the sight of incoming death. Suddenly, the zombie’s head exploded and gray brain matter splattered all over her face.
Ning Shu:!!!
Ning Shu wasn’t the only one shocked. The rest of the group were stunned too. This zombie’s defensive ability was way over the top, so it was hard to believe that it had gotten shot just like this.
Ning Shu wiped her face before opening her eyes. There was a car parked nearby and a person was standing in front of the car. The man was wearing a black windbreaker and stood there indifferently as the wind lifted the hem of his jacket.
He was holding a gun, and currently that gun was shifting down to point directly at her. Ning Shu hadn’t been very scared by the zombie, but she was so frightened by this gun that she almost wet her pants. This gun had even been able to defeat a zombie!
“D-don’t!” Ning Shu hastily waved her hand. “We’re all human, human!”
Ning Shu hadn’t expected to encounter the school doctor uncle again this way. The school doctor uncle was still wearing a windbreaker that made people want to sprout criticisms. Ning Shu had already experienced several worlds, so when she saw the school doctor uncle again, she felt like she was revisiting a distant past.
“This friend, thank you for your help.” Wolf took the initiative to speak.
The school doctor uncle glanced indifferently at Wolf while still keeping his gun pointed at Ning Shu. Ning Shu’s hair was sticking up on end like she had been electrified.
“Pick up the gene essence on the ground,” said the school doctor uncle to Ning Shu.
“Can you first shift that gun away? I’m scared!” Ning Shu shouted at the school doctor uncle.
The school doctor uncle scoffed, then made a comere motion at Ning Shu. “Hurry up.”
Ning Shu pried open the zombie’s hand, then walked towards the school doctor uncle with the gene essence.
Phoenix wanted to approach Ning Shu, but Wolf stopped her. She stopped reluctantly and stared at the gene essence in Ning Shu’s hand with a feverate look in her eyes.
Ning Shu slowly walked towards the school doctor uncle. The school doctor uncle then furrowed his brows and said, “Don’t come so close. You stink.”
Ning Shu: …
His nitpicky mysophobic personality still hasn’t changed.
