Chapter 239 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (28)
As they drew closer, Shen Chumo temporarily hid in a corner instead of trying to save them. Since these people had been captured, it meant that the person didn't want them to die now, and their lives were not in immediate danger.
Going out now would only alert the enemy and make the situation more chaotic.
Once the people who control them are dealt with, everything will fall into place.
After Shen Chumo affixed an invisibility talisman to herself, her figure vanished from the spot. She then swaggered out of the laboratory. Shen Chumo had initially thought finding that person would require some effort.
Unexpectedly, at the next corner, Shen Chumo saw that person walking in some direction. The person next to him was not A Yuan, but a level three zombie.
Shen Chumo followed behind them, keeping a safe distance. She carefully observed the man, because behind her, she could only see his back. He was tall and thin, and seemed to walk with a limp.
As he walked, he came to a tightly closed door and stopped. The door looked very heavy.
Shen Chumo's eyes flickered. This was the same room they had found after separating from Lin Haoran, the one that was locked with a combination lock.
I felt that this room was unusual at the time, but I was unable to enter and explore it because I did not have the password. I never expected that I would come here with this person.
He extended his pale fingers and pressed the keypad. Shen Chumo watched his movements intently, her eyes fixed on him, afraid of missing any detail.
As the last number was pressed, a "beep" was heard, and a faint green light appeared on the combination lock. Then, the heavy door slowly opened with a dull "creak".
Although the door was opened, the person stood there for a long time without going in, seemingly lost in thought.
Shen Chumo waited patiently for a while, and the man seemed to have finally made up his mind. He went into the room, leaving the level three zombie outside the door.
After he entered the room, Shen Chumo immediately followed. However, as they passed the level 3 zombie, it suddenly let out a few low growls, as if it had sensed something unusual.
Shen Chumo was startled. Without stopping, she immediately went into the room. The level-three zombie looked left and right and sniffed around, but found nothing unusual, so it returned to calm.
After Shen Chumo went inside, the door behind her closed with a heavy bang.
She turned her gaze to the interior of the room, where the light was even dimmer than outside. The furnishings were much like those in a laboratory, with many unidentified containers of liquid.
But what's truly terrifying is that there are two zombies locked up here!
It's clear that the two zombies were an elderly man with white hair and a young woman in life, and they were each handcuffed to a corner of the room.
The old man's sparse white hair fell haphazardly over his shoulders; his skin was dry and wrinkled, like old tree bark, with a deathly bluish-gray hue; and his deep-set eyes, with their cloudy pupils, emitted a faint, eerie light.
He was staring intently at the approaching man, his withered lips opening and closing repeatedly, and a hissing roar squeezed out from between his teeth.
The young female zombie, who may have once had a beautiful face, is now twisted and hideous. Her pretty face is covered with black lividity, her once lively eyes are now empty and crazed, her hair is tangled like dry grass, and her clothes are tattered, revealing large areas of bluish-gray and somewhat ulcerated skin.
Her wrists and ankles were tightly bound by heavy chains, but even so, she struggled with all her might, trying to pounce on the man.
The chains clanged and rattled against the floor and walls, the sound particularly jarring in the silent yet terrifying room.
The howling roar grew louder and louder, a mixture of hatred and primal desire, making the atmosphere in the entire space extremely oppressive.
The man, however, paid no attention to their reactions and continued to watch them with his unhurried pace.
His face held a mixture of smugness and mockery, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if the two writhing zombies before him were his proudest creations.
Yet, deep within his eyes lurked a barely perceptible hint of pity, perhaps suggesting that he too had harbored special feelings for these two.
It was only then that Shen Chumo saw the person's face clearly. It was a slightly thin face with pale skin that was almost transparent, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time, exuding a kind of sickly frailty.
But contrary to his appearance, his eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty madness.
He took a box of meat from a nearby cabinet and casually threw it on the ground. The two zombies, seeing the meat, seemed to lose their minds and reached out to pick it up, but because their hands and feet were cuffed, they couldn't...
The two of them could only eat on their stomachs, like dogs.
Seeing their disheveled appearance, the man suddenly burst into laughter again, as if he were having a seizure.
His already narrow eyes were now squinted into slits, and tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes from laughing, but the laughter did not reach his eyes; instead, it was more of a distorted, almost morbid pleasure.
He laughed as he pointed at the two zombies, saying repeatedly, "Look at you two now, hahaha, it's hilarious!"
Shen Chumo's expression was indescribable.
Tsk, not even sparing zombies, is this person a psychopath?
"Tuanzi, read this man's backstory."
.....
Before the apocalypse, people lived peaceful and happy lives. Laughter filled the streets and alleys. Children played and laughed in the park, and the elderly sat on benches, basking in the sun. Everyone had a relaxed and contented smile on their face. The city was a scene of prosperity and peace.
At that time, this man was just an ordinary researcher named Lin Yu. He was somewhat aloof and always immersed in his own world of research.
Although his colleagues felt he was not easy to get along with, they also recognized his professional abilities and dedication.
Lin Yu has had a strong interest in life sciences since childhood, and dreams of one day being able to overcome the intractable diseases that have plagued mankind for a long time through his research, bringing health and hope to people.
This research was not well-received, given its long duration, high risks, and uncertain returns. Lin Yu even faced the predicament of having to abandon the research at one point because he couldn't find investors.
Fortunately, his teacher, Professor Zeng, always believed that his research direction was of great significance and gave him his full support.
Professor Zeng is highly respected in the field of life sciences. He used his connections and resources to secure some small research grants and sponsorships for Lin Yu, which allowed Lin Yu's experiments to continue.
Looking at Professor Zeng's face, Shen Chumo was quite certain that this person was the white-haired zombie that Lin Yu had locked up.
