Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist
Chapter 9 Viral Invasion 8
Shen Ying has been confined to her office for quite some time, constantly plagued by loneliness and unease.
That day, she glanced out the window and was overjoyed to see Ming Xiaoxiao and the others fighting fiercely with zombies downstairs.
That familiar figure was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly giving her the determination to act and prepare to go and meet him immediately.
She quickly packed the snacks, slung the package over her shoulder, and went to the door.
As I placed my hand on the doorknob, I couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm my excited and nervous feelings. Then, I gave it a hard twist, and the door opened with a "whoosh."
The moment the door opened, a stench rushed in, causing Shen Ying to frown and feel nauseous.
When she saw what was in front of her, she was so shocked that her eyes widened.
The zombie Zhang Wei stood there, his signature white hair standing out starkly in the dim light, the strands disheveled and giving off an indescribable eeriness.
His once deep blue eyes, as mysterious and captivating as the deep ocean, are now empty and lifeless, like two bottomless dry wells, coldly staring ahead without any life or emotion.
His bluish-gray skin was taut against his bones, with bulging blue veins faintly visible, like ugly little snakes coiled around him, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.
Zhang Wei reeked of a strong, putrid stench, the smell so tangible it seemed to pierce right into people's noses, making Shen Ying almost vomit.
But his behavior was still very strange; unlike other zombies, he didn't just blindly pounce and bite.
He stood still, his body swaying slightly, his movements somewhat slow, and he would pause from time to time.
His head would tilt slightly to one side, as if he were thinking about something, subtly revealing a sense of self-awareness.
Shen Ying stood there blankly at the door, staring at the terrifying figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. Her feet seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
Shen Ying's gaze was fixed on the zombie Zhang Wei.
The air around her seemed to freeze; she didn't dare to breathe. Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Seeing that Zhang Wei was just standing quietly, without attacking like a normal zombie, Shen Ying felt a surge of indescribable courage.
She bit her lower lip hard, silently cheering herself on. Then, she began to walk slowly and cautiously around Zhang Wei, each step feeling as if it carried a thousand pounds of weight, as she moved slowly toward the stairs.
Her ears perked up, intently listening for even the slightest sound behind her. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest, her nerves stretched to the limit, fearing that Zhang Wei might change his mind in an instant and suddenly attack her.
After finally getting down the stairs, Shen Ying instinctively looked back as soon as her feet touched the ground.
This sight made her heart leap into her throat; Zhang Wei was following her silently.
Fear gripped her heart instantly, her eyes widened involuntarily, and her body trembled slightly.
Without thinking, Shen Ying instinctively quickened her pace, wanting only to distance herself from Zhang Wei as quickly as possible.
Just as she was fleeing in haste, a muffled thud came from behind her.
Her steps came to an abrupt halt. Though filled with fear, curiosity compelled her to turn back and look.
Zhang Wei was lying on the ground in a ridiculous posture, struggling wildly with his limbs, seemingly trying to get up but lacking the strength.
Shen Ying's lips twitched, and her hand unconsciously reached forward, a subconscious action as she wanted to help.
But in an instant, reason returned, and she suddenly remembered that Zhang Wei in front of her had already turned into a zombie.
This realization was like a bucket of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing the last vestige of pity in her heart.
She shook her head frantically, as if trying to shake the dangerous thought out of her mind, then turned around without hesitation and ran forward as fast as she could.
They dared not stop for a moment, hoping to get away from this terrifying and strange existence as soon as possible.
In her frantic escape, Shen Ying was fortunate enough to encounter Ming Xiaoxiao and her group.
She carried a bulging bag on her back, filled with snacks she had brought from the office, including some that were left over from before, as well as some that had mysteriously appeared in the bag of snacks by the door earlier.
Ming Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Ying with scrutiny and doubt in her eyes: "Who are you? Why are you here alone?"
Shen Ying hurriedly replied, "I am a staff member of the research institute, responsible for cleaning. There are zombies everywhere now, and I really don't know where to go."
I just saw you guys and I think you're very organized and capable. I don't want to be here alone and living in fear anymore. Can I join you?
I will try my best not to cause trouble for anyone. I can help with many things, such as observing the surroundings and finding supplies.
"And I have some snacks here, not much, but enough for a pinch." She patted her backpack as she spoke.
Ming Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, looked her up and down, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Alright, your situation is indeed difficult. But you have to listen to me and follow the team's rules."
Shen Ying was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Definitely, definitely, thank you so much, it's so great to be able to join you."
So, everyone headed towards the temporary safe zone.
Shen Ying kept thinking about her colleague Ming Xiaoxiao, who would become the zombie king in the future.
During a brief rest, Shen Ying quietly approached Ming Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Actually, I saw you mutate back then. In the chaos, I think I even saw you bite someone and then suddenly pass out. How come you're normal again now?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Xiaoxiao stiffened slightly, a hint of wariness and embarrassment appearing on her face.
She looked at Shen Ying, remained silent for a while, sighed, and slowly said, "I remember turning into a zombie, but I don't know what happened after I bit Zhang Wei. I recovered when I woke up."
Shen Ying's expression changed instantly, her heart filled with shock and disbelief.
"Zhang Wei?" she exclaimed inwardly, the familiar figure immediately appearing in her mind. She couldn't help but wonder, could it be the Zhang Wei she knew?
Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes filled with nervousness, and she cautiously asked in a low voice, "Is the Zhang Wei you're talking about the one with white hair and blue eyes?"
Ming Xiaoxiao nodded, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes, and then asked, "Do you know him?"
Shen Ying nodded again, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and slowly said, "I just ran into him when I came out of that building. He has turned into a zombie, and he looks really scary."
Strangely, he didn't attack me; he just stood there quietly, which was really unusual.
After saying all this, Shen Ying felt a pang of sadness. It turned out that the person she had been looking for all along was him.
Shen Ying took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress her chaotic thoughts, and after calming herself down, she said, "Do you think it was because you bit Zhang Wei that you returned to normal?"
Ming Xiaoxiao was clearly stunned for a moment, then her eyes gradually brightened, as if she had grasped a glimmer of hope: "Yes, that must be it."
