Even the God of Quick Transmigration Needs an Assessment

Chapter 174 The Poor Little Zombie Being Surrounded 22

Consciousness sank into a haze, and I felt like I was lying on a small fishing boat drifting on the sea. The sound of the sea breeze, seemingly real but actually fake, swayed in my ears. I drifted and drifted, and my mind was completely blank because of the rare tranquility. There was no blood, no zombies, no worry or fear, and no moon mist!

No, her consciousness snapped back to reality. Liu Zhiyin jolted awake, practically jumping up, panting heavily. Her eyes were still blurry, and she desperately searched for Yuewu, feeling an emptiness in her heart, as if she were about to lose something. Her voice, hoarse from sleeping for so long, rang out, "Yuewu, where is Yuewu? Where is she?"

After regaining consciousness, her mind returned to its usual sharpness, and she quickly made a guess about the changes in her body. Her body trembled involuntarily, and her weak body almost made her faint again. She clenched her fists tightly, determined to get an answer from the person next to her.

Jiang Suikong helped the man up, his throat constricted, unable to speak. At first, Yuewu had told him not to worry, that things would be over soon, but he had taken it as mere comforting words. Having spent so much time among zombies, he knew perfectly well what it meant to become one.

He lowered his head in shame. He had some resentment towards Yuewu. From the beginning, Yuewu was the one being protected, but she was very lucky to receive the protection of Liu Zhiyin and Jian Yu. He despised people who were incompetent and could only rely on others. Later, he changed his opinion slightly and it was revealed that she was the zombie king, the final boss hidden among humans.

She didn't show it on her face, but she had thought about getting rid of the person as soon as possible. Fortunately, reason prevailed. However, it was impossible for her not to have any complaints about Yuewu. In fact, it could be said that everything Liu Zhiyin did was for her.

But in the end, it was the person he once complained about and looked down upon who saved the world.

He was truly ashamed.

Swallowing hard, she knew this couldn't be hidden for long; it was better to lay it all out in the open. "Moon Mist did this for you, for everyone..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Liu Zhiyin understood. She leaned weakly against Jiang Suikong's chest, her eyes vacant, her voice choked with sobs, "I want to see her."

Jiang Suikong remained silent for a long time, unable to make any promises. Seeing him like this, Liu Zhiyin felt her blood boil and grabbed his collar, venting her dissatisfaction in a frenzied tone, "She did so much for humanity, and you still want to keep her body for research. Even though... even though she's already like this, you still want to squeeze out the last bit of value. Greedy, hypocritical, and selfish, you are all so disgusting."

She slowly lowered her head, as if all the strength had been drained from her body in that instant. Her fingers went limp, and she could only weakly clutch the hem of her clothes. Her once clear and melodious voice now sounded as if it had been torn apart by something, filled with uncontrollable pain and sorrow.

Tears, like a burst dam, surged forth in an instant, sliding down her pale cheeks. Her sobs echoed in the silent air, each heart-wrenching cry like a heavy hammer, pounding fiercely against Jiang Suikong's heart.

Because of his limited vision, he couldn't see Liu Zhiyin's expression at that moment, but he could truly feel her devastation. All her efforts from beginning to end had been like stones sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

Nothing has changed.

She lost...

Yuewu went to check on Liu Zhiyin's condition. She was on the verge of death. Although she hadn't completely turned into a zombie, her condition was really bad. She looked like she was about to die. Fortunately, Jiang Suikong was there to take care of her, which reassured her a lot. As if saying goodbye, she comforted her, "Don't worry, she'll be alright. Everything will be over soon. Don't worry."

These words seemed to be spoken to him, and also to herself. She stretched and walked out of the room. The spring breeze was still a bit chilly, making Yuewu involuntarily shrink her neck. She slowly stepped out of the room, where the person who was supposed to guide her was waiting. They looked at her as if she were a hot commodity, without the usual wariness. They really were fickle.

Yuewu walked at the front, her mind wandering. She glanced at the big tree in front of the laboratory and saw that it had sprouted tender green buds. There were many dark yellow fallen leaves on the ground, which had been piled up and no one had cleaned up because they were busy.

I felt it in my heart, and it's true, it's springtime, the season when everything comes back to life.

It wasn't until she lay on the operating table that Yuewu belatedly felt nervous. The laboratory was built to sterile standards, with a cold, white ceiling that was frightening to look at. In addition, because she was a zombie, the anesthetic had little effect on her, and she could clearly feel the knife cutting her skin, which made it all a bit creepy.

At the same time, Yuewu realized that she had been careless. At first, she only wanted to save people, and when she saw that the mission was almost completed, she agreed without hesitation. But now she realized that she was still rash. With 66, she could block out the physical pain, but she could not block out the mental pain.

The reason why she was able to develop an antidote for the zombie virus lies with Jian Yu. When the original owner was bitten by zombies, Jian Yu saved her, not out of kindness, but because he did it intentionally. He was always curious about how his medicine, which had been modified, could cause a human catastrophe. Unfortunately, his mentor's laboratory was surrounded by zombies immediately, and he was unable to obtain a sample of the medicine.

His obsession with scientific research was deeper than imagined; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to develop the human evolution drug. Even without samples, the zombies were still around, and he could eventually figure things out by randomly grabbing one and studying it.

So when he saw that the original owner of the body, who was covered in holes from being bitten by zombies, was still conscious, he knew that she was a good test subject. Using simple tools, he easily deciphered the ingredients of the potion, and then he conducted a small experiment on her. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing for him, and he himself was not sure how effective it would be.

So after Yuewu woke up, he kept observing Yuewu's reaction. To his surprise, his experiment was quite successful. The person who was originally covered in wounds and had a corpse-green color recovered quickly. His skin and face were as smooth as cream and delicate as a child's skin. He even developed a superpower like in an anime.

However, after entering the base laboratory, he discovered that only Moon Mist was special. He conducted experiments on several zombies, but the effect was minimal. At that moment, he suddenly had a feeling that Moon Mist would be an important antidote for the zombie virus. Sure enough, as he thought, she is the way to break the deadlock.

He liked Yuewu's vibrant, flamboyant, and confident personality, so he was the only one who could take on the task of dissecting and removing the crystal core. After discovering that the anesthetic had worn off, he felt a little ashamed as he watched Chen Che's round eyes staring at him as he prepared for the operation. He lowered his gaze, and with the white light from the operating light above his head casting a shadow under his professional surgical cap, his expression was inexplicable. He then turned around and grabbed a mask, which he put on Yuewu's eyes. Due to the limited tools, he could only use whatever was available.

Surgery inevitably involves opening the abdomen and causing a lot of bloodshed. Anesthesia is useless; it can only calm you down by closing your eyes so you won't be scared.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Reassuring words came through, and Yuewu took a deep breath, waiting for the surgery to begin. She knew she was in for a lot of trouble once she came in, but she didn't want to go through this again. Surgery without anesthesia was either a mistake or a serious mishap.

66 shielded herself from the pain. As the scalpel slowly cut open her heart, she showed no reaction. Jian Yu also relaxed and skillfully began to operate. In order to conduct experiments, he had been using animals for experiments in private. His main research direction was still humans, but unfortunately, humans were not easy to obtain. He could only obtain cadavers.

A bright red heart appeared before her eyes. Jian Yu gestured to turn up the lights, and she could see it clearly. The heart and blood vessels were still beating, the only difference being that blue blood vessels were scattered all over the heart. But it wasn't that different after all, Jian Yu thought.

"Prepare the insulated container and place the transplant box in position."

The metaphor is about issuing orders quickly; a heart detached from the body without preservation will quickly lose its vitality, and what they need is a valuable heart.

The scalpel was inserted deeper, his gaze focused, his hand steady and skillful. Feeling the scalpel touch his heart, Yuewu's body trembled slightly as a tearing pain surged through her, not a heartache, but a soul-wrenching pain.

Her face turned deathly pale, and her body went limp. To avoid disrupting the surgery, Yuewu could only clench her lips tightly and remain still. Jian Yu noticed her abnormality and quickened his incision. Yuewu bit her tongue, repeatedly telling herself not to move, a hissing sound escaping her throat—it hurt so much…

Whew~

The pain, which tugged at the heart and soul, was so intense that the gentle, slow movements brought Yuewu an overwhelming, relentless, stabbing pain. Although it was only a few dozen seconds, it felt like an eternity to Yuewu. Only when she felt an emptiness in her heart did Yuewu catch her breath and realize that she had finished.

She had lost all feeling in her body, and even her consciousness was beginning to go numb from the pain. But the most important thing was yet to come. A zombie could live without a heart, but it would surely die without a crystal core. You could say that the crystal core was the zombie's brain.
