As Chen Youyou and Shang Xue progressed, time flew by, and everything was getting back on track.

In the first month, everyone completed the first step of their original plan: the zombies in the entire city were eliminated, and people returned to a rare period of normal life.

The second month has passed, and the second step of the plan has been implemented in three nearby cities. The third step of the plan, researching a drug to kill zombies, has also been completed, with two bottles per set.

Simply spraying Potion No. 1 on the zombies will slow them down to the point of being 80 years old. Then, injecting Potion No. 2 into the zombies' heads will cause them to explode automatically, allowing you to collect the crystal cores.

Once the medicine is mass-produced, everyone can start killing zombies, thus speeding up the zombie eradication process.

With the mission to save human civilization nearing completion, Gu Xixi estimated that they would have at most half a month to retire to the modern world, leaving the rest to the humans here.

For two whole months, she worked herself to the bone, just to complete the task and get the original crystal as soon as possible.

With truly unlimited clean energy for the country, she can finally take a break without worry.

Then she'll ask the system for a reward, go check on the students' progress at Shen Qingyan's place, and send some supplies to the children, hehe.

"Xi Xi, news has come that a high-IQ zombie king has appeared in Tonghua City. It's very difficult to deal with. Shang Yu is requesting support. We need to send a few high-level ability users over there," Chu Feng reported.

"Okay, ask Aunt Feng to send more people."

Gu Xixi turned around and saw Chen Youyou running into the supermarket in a panic, looking disheveled. "Sister Xixi, Xuexue and I encountered zombies when we went to inspect the warehouse in the suburbs. We chased them into the city's drainage system... She was dragged away by the zombies, what should we do?"

What! ! !

The tunnel...right, the city's drainage system outlet leads directly to the large suburban warehouse that Shang Xue and her team are inspecting today.

The zombie cleanup plan mainly focuses on clearing out the zombies within the city. It's normal that there are still zombies in the mountains and fields between cities that haven't been cleared out, so generally, solo actions outside the city are not allowed...

But now that things have come to this, saving lives is the priority.

"I'll ask Aunt Feng to bring a few people with superpowers to find her. Let's tell Shang Yu the news first." Gu Xixi made the arrangements and then tore off a piece of paper for Chen Youyou to wipe her tears.

Under her tutelage over the past few months, Chen Youyou and Shang Xue's skills are not much worse than hers. If they were still dragged away by zombies... then the strength of these zombies should not be underestimated.

We need to bring more people with us.

After Gu Xixi called Aunt Feng, a team of 20 superhumans arrived at the supermarket in less than ten minutes. Gu Xixi and Chu Feng, led by Chen Youyou, spent half an hour reaching the outskirts.

Everyone split into pairs and entered the sewers to search for Shang Xue in different directions.

Gu Xixi, Chu Feng, and Chen Youyou are in one group.

The sewer was only 1.2 meters high, and everyone had to use flashlights and bend over to move forward. Fortunately, the 1.2-meter width made it relatively easy to walk through.

"Where did Shang Xue disappear to?" Gu Xixi asked. Along the way, there were traces of people coming, but no signs of a fight.

Why did Chen Youyou and Shang Xue run so far away here?

"They're just ahead. When we first spotted the zombies, we thought we'd been killing them so easily these past few days that we didn't want to bother the superhuman team, so we just chased them in ourselves... Little did we know... we'd underestimated them."

Chen Youyou felt guilty and started to cry. She wiped away her tears and kept rushing forward.

Seeing her urgency, Gu Xixi and Chu Feng quickened their pace. Half an hour later, the group actually walked out of the sewer and arrived at the riverbank at the boundary between the city and the city, which was the other end of the drainage outlet.

Chen Youyou, her face contorted with worry, grew even more anxious. "I clearly remember Xuexue taking this route, how did I end up here... So much time has passed, Sister Xixi, I'm scared..."

Gu Xixi was also anxious. She checked her phone; the signal was still bad. "It's okay, let's go back the way we came and search again... Maybe someone from the superhuman team has already found Shang Xue. Let's go back first."

"Mmm!" Chen Youyou walked forward quickly, then seemed to remember something, took out two bottles of water from her bag and handed them to Gu Xixi and Chu Feng, "These are energy drinks, you can replenish your energy."

After she finished speaking, she handed the drinks to Gu Xixi and Chu Feng, and then took out a bottle for herself and took a few sips.

Gu Xixi and Chu Feng were indeed thirsty after walking for a long time, so they unscrewed the bottle cap and drank about half of it.

After putting the bottle cap back on, the two were about to leave when they found that their steps suddenly felt much heavier, and they felt dizzy and throbbing.

Chu Feng looked at the water in astonishment, then at Gu Xixi, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. "Xixi, there's something wrong with the water."

Gu Xixi also realized that something was wrong with her body: !!

[System detection indicates host is infected. System security mechanisms are activating and toxins have been intercepted. Removal of toxins will take ten minutes. Please rest where you are.]

"She's really poisoned!" Gu Xixi exclaimed in surprise, instinctively looking at Chen Youyou, "Youyou, your phone has a signal..."

Chen Youyou still had the same anxious and pitiful expression as before, with tears still on her face. However, her eyes were no longer innocent and kind, but had turned into curious inquiry, scrutiny, and mockery.

"Looks like your protective mechanisms aren't working inside your body. I guessed right."

Chen Youyou's sudden change sent chills down Gu Xixi's spine. A coldness rose from the bottom of her heart, her mind went blank, and her scalp tingled. She was utterly shocked.

The moment Gu Xixi met Chen Youyou's gaze, she felt a buzzing in her ears, and everything around her seemed to enter a vacuum, becoming completely silent.

It was Chen Youyou who poisoned them! It was actually Chen Youyou!!!

Chen Youyou lied and deliberately tricked them into coming here!

But why... Gu Xixi didn't understand.

They saved Chen Youyou's life. The martial arts she relied on for survival, the weapons she used to earn a decent living, and even small things like clothes and socks were all given to her by them.

She considered Chen Youyou a friend, but she betrayed her?!

"Chen Youyou, why, why did you do this!" Gu Xixi clenched her fists, a tear sliding down her cheek. "Aren't we friends?"

They were so good to her, how could she...

“Friends? Naive!” Chen Youyou laughed out loud, but then her eyes welled up with resentment, anger, dissatisfaction, and madness.

"This is the apocalypse, the apocalypse! Everyone is struggling to survive, fighting for their lives, as pitiful and lowly as a dog locked in the sewers! And you, such an innocent person, are lucky enough to get a cheat code and live a high and mighty life, glamorous and beautiful. God is really unfair!"
