CH 94.2

Proofread by ParanoidKitten

As soon as they entered the area of the third line of defense, they could clearly feel that it was different from the outside. If it weren’t for the towering defense line outside, it could even be said that it was not much different from before the outbreak of the zombie virus. It was calm and peaceful like a paradise. 

When the people who followed old Chen passed through a small urban area and entered the mountain tunnel, Li Zhen stretched out his hand to hold Fang He in his arms and held Fang He’s cat paw tightly in his palm.

Fang He looked up at Li Zhen, expressing his concern with his eyes. Li Zhen gently stroked his cat, “I can already sense the meteorite, and there are a lot of high-leveled mutant zombies here.”

Fang He nodded. Their only advantage was that Cheng Qidong didn’t know what they were doing at all. That lunatic was obsessed with experiments. Maybe, even if he knew it, he wouldn’t care too much, with his psychic ability and five psychic mutants, he believed that no one could stop him.

When he saw Cheng Qidong again, Fang He clenched his teeth to stop his trembling body. The man in front of him was almost fifty years old. He looked gentle and kind on the surface, but for thirteen years, he had been brutally conducting various experiments on him, looking at them like animals without a trace of pity. 

When Cheng Qidong saw Li Zhen, the corners of his mouth brought up a kind smile, and he walked over steadily, “Senior, we finally meet!”

Li Zhen looked at him calmly. Cheng Qidong was the person who joined his teacher after he left. Although they have never met, two were still considered fellow apprentices. And although Cheng Qidong was older, because of the relationship between the sequence of teaching, it was appropriate for him to call him senior.

Cheng Qidong then looked at the kitten squatting on Li Zhen’s shoulder, and chuckled, “The teacher always said that you are a cold, but warm-hearted person. And he also said that your cold face has scared away a large number of his followers, but I didn’t expect you to be very loving towards small animals.”

Fang He gritted his teeth, he clasped Li Zhen’s shoulder tightly and turned his head to avoid Cheng Qidong’s sight. He was afraid that he couldn’t help but pounce on him.

Cheng Qidong didn’t mind when he saw that Li Zhen didn’t say anything, so he just gestured with his hand and let him in., “Well at least I’m older, senior don’t mind if I just call you by your first name, right? Come with me, you’ll definitely be interested in my lab.”

The people behind Li Zhen were stopped outside the laboratory. Li Zhen nodded slightly toward the leading person. The leading person then led all the people away. Escorting him was their first task, and their main purpose was to defend the laboratory outside against possible reinforcements.

Fang He thought that Cheng Qidong would take Li Zhen to see some more tolerable experiments first, and would try to prevent Li Zhen from seeing those human experiments. But he didn’t expect Cheng Qidong to take them directly to the highest level underground experimental area without any scruples. He even started talking to Li Zhen about the experimental results very proudly.

Cheng Qidong sighed, “Unfortunately, this experiment has been done for a long time, and there is only such a successful example. If we can stabilize this kind of stimulation, this experiment will be even more satisfactory.”

Cheng Qidong stroked the child’s face through the glass, and then continued to walk forward. An experiment was being conducted inside the next laboratory. More than a dozen people were locked in it, including ordinary people and mutants, and they were fighting against a zombie.

Fang He looked at the familiar zombie inside, and his cat claws couldn’t help but stretch. When he saw that Xiao Sang didn’t do anything to anyone, and just kept using his speed ability to evade like a phantom, Fang He gritted his teeth and went to wrap his tail tightly around Li Zhen’s neck. 

Cheng Qidong pointed at the zombie inside and said, “Newly caught. A zombie that broke through level 4. It’s a speed mutant zombie, and it’s strange that it never kills. It’s ridiculous, a zombie that doesn’t kill.”

Cheng Qidong watched for a while, then turned to the person standing next to the laboratory and said, “Dr. Wang, increase the dose.”

A person next to him nodded, then pressed a button and a light pink spray was spilled into the sealed space.

“Blood?” Li Zhen said in a low voice. 

Cheng Qidong nodded, “Yes, fresh blood can stimulate the hunting instinct of zombies.”

Fang He was slightly nervous as he looked at Xiao Sang inside. Although Xiao Sang was a little anxious, he didn’t seem to be stimulated by the blood, and his eyes turned to their direction intentionally or unintentionally.

Cheng Qidong shook his head, “It seems that we have to think of other ways to stimulate it. Let’s go to the next one.”

The next scene was even more disgusting. Fang He looked at the dozen or so test benches lined up inside, and there were zombies and some people being dissected at will. Cheng Qidong then said very calmly, “There is absolutely no need to worry about the source of experimental subjects here. Whether it’s zombies or mutants, each of them came to accept the experiment voluntarily, and what is currently being done here is the experiment of crystal nucleus and ability core transplantation.” 

Voluntarily?! Fang He looked at Cheng Qidong’s hypocritical old face and wanted to slap him to pieces.

After visiting all of these, Cheng Qidong took Li Zhen into the office and asked him very calmly, “How do you feel? Do you want to come over and be my deputy? I heard that you were working on the first line of defense and wasting your talent there. It’s a pity.”

Li Zhen sat opposite him. He lifted Fang He down from his shoulders, and gently stroked Fang He’s fur.

Cheng Qidong saw that Li Zhen was unmoved and not annoyed, then he tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, “Li Zhen, imagine, such a miraculous creature that can turn the human body into a completely different species, and at the same time it can stimulate the potential of the human body and let people control extraordinary power. How amazing is this, do you really not want to find out?” 

“So, you never thought of getting rid of this virus?” Li Zhen asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Qidong laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke, “Solve it? Why do you need to solve it?”

Li Zhen looked at him blankly, while Cheng Qidong leaned on the sofa leisurely, with a gentle smile on his face, “Natural selection, this is something that animals face every day, but the development of human beings has avoided such an opportunity, and now we finally encountered this opportunity to elevate human beings to an unprecedented height. This is human’s luck.”

Cheng Qidong looked at Li Zhen’s face and closed his eyes slightly, “Don’t agree with my statement? The sacrifice of a few people in exchange for the progress of all mankind is the best way, and their sacrifice will be admired by all mankind.” 

“A few people?” Li Zhen said in a low voice.

Cheng Qidong smiled suddenly, “Well, it should be said that it is the majority, but the remaining people are the controllers of the future. Ordinary people like those ants can survive only by relying on others. They are the burden of human beings breaking the limit, so it’s not too much to die for, right?”

Fang He almost scratched Li Zhen’s clothes. The idea of such a lunatic was simply deranged.

Li Zhen stroked Fang He’s fur steadily, otherwise he would really rush out of control and kill this lunatic first. 

Cheng Qidong looked at the person who did not respond much to himself since the beginning and sighed, “It seems that you don’t agree with my statement. It doesn’t matter, you will agree sooner or later. Stay in the laboratory first, feel free to watch those experiments. I’ll wait for you to change your mind.”

Cheng Qidong said nothing more until someone came in and led Li Zhen away.

And when Li Zhen took Fang He away, Cheng Qidong’s psychic ability followed closely, and Li Zhen’s mouth curled into a sneer, silently pulling that power into his body.

In the room, Cheng Qidong, who thought he had successfully locked Li Zhen, evoked a triumphant smile. 

Or rather, Cheng Qidong was a bit excited. When he thought that the original structure of the zombie virus could be extracted from Li Zhen’s head, he couldn’t help laughing out loud. However, when he found out that Li Zhen was also a psychic mutant, he knew that he had to be patient, otherwise he would be discovered by this smart guy and erase his memory of the original structure of the zombie virus.

Li Zhen and Fang He didn’t go far before the person leading the way was confused by Li Zhen and left alone.

Fang He looked up at Li Zhen, “What’s the next step? First, save people or find the meteorite?”

If not for all the survivors inside the laboratory, perhaps the moment they entered, the two would have immediately rushed forward, however, they couldn’t do so. If they were to move Cheng Qidong at this time, it would be no different from pulling the fuse of the bomb, this entire laboratory will enter the state of alert. Maybe when this lunatic was suffering from a crisis, he would just burn both jade and common stone. 

Li Zhen pressed Fang He’s head, “Go and deal with the other five psychic mutants first.”

Li Zhen has the general layout of the laboratory provided by Old Chen, but it was difficult to figure out where the five mental mutants were

Li Zhen closed his eyes slightly and searched the laboratory with his mind power. After a while, he shook his head under Fang He’s expectant gaze, “I only have a vague guess.”

Fang He licked his lips and suddenly touched a lightning ball, “Can’t we just make some noise?” 

Li Zhen touched Fang He’s head and then leaned in for a kiss. He then directed the ball of lightning into the air, and it quickly shuttled along the walls inside the laboratory corridors. After finding a suitable place, he slammed it into the wall and a powerful vibration instantly emanated.
