A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

The entire human base was in chaos. The deformed monsters were like wild horses, rampaging everywhere. Anyone whose aura was not that of their own kind would be attacked by them.

Seeing that the superhumans couldn't retreat, the base's higher-ups mobilized troops without superhuman abilities to fight the monsters using firearms.

However, as the monsters' wounds slowly healed, some people despaired.

"My God, what is this thing? Why is it in the base?"

"It fell from the research institute building. Before that, the zombie we were hunting and the young lady from the Su family went up there."

Zhu Heping fixed his gaze on Su Ji. "I need an explanation."

The building upstairs collapsed so badly, and Meng Xiaoyou still hasn't been found. She's probably in grave danger. Su Ji's face was grim. "What explanation do you want from me? The monster came from a research institute. Instead of asking me for an explanation, you should think about who has the ability to research such a disgusting thing."

Gunfire continued unabated, another creature lurking on the ground took shape, and the voices of the arguing high-ranking officials abruptly ceased.

Because, under everyone's watchful eyes, a blob of green, unidentified liquid on the ground gradually coalesced into a human figure, which then transformed into a familiar face.

"Academician Rong?"

Some people were shocked, but Academician Rong stood in front of them in this state, his face unhealthy and pale, his cloudy eyes finally finding focus. He met everyone's gaze and slowly smiled, saying, "Don't panic, everyone. This is also an effort for the future of humanity."

Who wants to become a monster in the future?

The monster that attacks humans indiscriminately has a hideous and disgusting appearance. Its blood vessels and tendons are covered by only a thin layer of transparent mucus, and its internal organs are clearly visible. A green, viscous liquid flows through its body with each heartbeat, even staining the flesh green. Its internal organs wriggle as if countless tiny insects are surging inside. Just one look at it is enough to make your scalp tingle.

This thing looks abnormal, even more disgusting and terrifying than zombies. If they still believe that Academician Rong can save humanity at a time like this, then their intelligence is beyond saving. They might as well be wiped out as soon as possible.

Zhu Heping waved to the soldiers, and the muzzles of their guns snapped shut as they aimed at Academician Rong.

Academician Rong feigned surprise: "What is this? Don't be fooled by how disgusting these things look; they can live forever. Don't you want to have one? Like zombies, they are not afraid of birth, aging, sickness, or death. As long as the crystal core is in their brains, they can live forever."

The vermilion and the flat surface were so dark that you could almost squeeze water out of them.

"If I had known you were wicked and would do such heinous things, I should have had someone shoot you dead back then."

As a high-ranking official, Zhu Heping knew that Academician Rong was conducting human experiments. However, at a critical juncture where humanity's survival is at stake, it is normal to sacrifice a few people to save the majority when necessary.

He thought Academician Rong was conducting research on zombie virus immunity, but who knew he would discover monsters.

"Regret it?" Academician Rong chuckled. "What's the use of regretting it? You can't kill me now, so don't make a futile struggle. Just let my darlings eat you obediently, and that will be a contribution to the future."

The old man stood on the moral high ground, claiming that he was conducting experiments for humanity, that capturing Pei Sinian was for humanity, that conducting human experiments was for humanity, and now he was allowing monsters to harm his fellow humans, and he even had the audacity to say that it was all for humanity.

When traveling, he always comes up with his own excuses; he certainly knows how to say them.

Zhu Heping was unwilling to say more. This time, he did not give the old man a chance. With a wave of his hand, countless bullets pierced Academician Rong's body.

When the old man arrived at the scene, he showed no fear of being killed. He even smiled mysteriously at the crowd.

When the monsters discovered that the old man was being attacked, they roared furiously, their thick drool dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound. They jumped around wildly and chewed up several more people with their sharp, serrated mouths.

The crowd frantically unleashed their superpowers, blasting the monster to smithereens; chunks of flesh trembled and then came together.

"You can't be beaten to death!"

"I...I don't want to die, let's run away instead..."

"Why did you make them do human experiments? You're aiding and abetting evil. Now look what's happened, the monsters he created, how are we supposed to live..."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have just rotted in the mouth of a zombie!"

"Help! Ahhh~~~"

Before the person who was crying out could finish speaking, he was swallowed by the monster, his fingers still dangling and struggling at the corner of the lizard's mouth.

Zhu Heping: "Don't panic, everyone stop right there. The mistake has already been made, and we must do everything we can to make up for it. So what if we escape? We won't have a moment of peace until the monster is eliminated. Hold on, the base will find a way."

"But how can we fight? Are we just going to struggle to the death?" someone in the crowd shouted. "We'll live as long as we can, we can't possibly win..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he realized it was getting dark.

No.

More precisely, the thick fog blocked out the sun, the sky became mostly overcast, the water vapor in the air grew thicker and thicker, the earth trembled, the ground buzzed, and things kept breaking out of the ground one after another.

Could it be something even more terrifying?

People were filled with panic, and upon closer inspection, everything seemed to go dark.

Damn it, the high-level superhumans they sent out, after putting in most of their effort, were kidnapped by zombies!

Zombies sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, each carrying a superhuman on its back.

There was a lame zombie who, though disabled, was not incapable of carrying people. In order to appear as part of the group, he simply clung to a human's leg. His forehead was shiny, and he was all smiles as a little zombie. He even threatened in a sinister tone: "Don't move, or I'll bite you."

The human being held by him cried bitterly: "Who will trade zombies with me? I don't want to be kidnapped by this zombie!"

At least they should get a more normal one. The other zombies just kidnapped them with serious faces, carried them around so fast they didn't have to travel, and rode them back to base like they were on horseback.

This zombie is something else. Not only does it make him race against other zombies on his own two legs and hang on him like an ornament, but it also has its eyes shining as it covets his flesh.

Just as he was thinking this, the man felt a chill on his thigh. The limping zombie stretched out its black claws, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the sausage that he had been hiding for months. Right in front of him, without even tearing open the packaging, it stuffed it into its mouth and chewed it.

As the zombie ate, it said he was being unreasonable, "I've been hinting to you the whole way, didn't you know to give the zombie some food to shut it up? The zombie is starving, who else would it eat if not you?"

Human: “…”

Damn it, who would have thought that when you said you wanted to eat a sausage?

He thought they were going to bite his legs!

The lame zombie didn't care about any of that. After sneaking a couple of bites, he straightened up and, like the other zombies, gave humans a cold look, bared his teeth, and growled fiercely.

"Listen up, you're surrounded by zombies! Hand over Meng Xiaoyou, or we'll grind you to dust!"

“It’s red bean paste!”

In an instant, the human base was filled with the roar of zombies, the howls of monsters, and the trembling of humans. The dilapidated base was beyond repair.

Their minds were buzzing; all they could think about was that phrase "red bean paste" and that person's name.

Who is Meng Xiaoyou?

Step forward now!
