"Good!" It was not a big deal, and Wan Yu readily agreed.
Given Xia Zhiyue's confidence, Wan Yu only brought two teammates who were also soldiers. This matter was still a secret for now, and it was best not to let ordinary people know about it.
The surrounding streets were quiet, with only the sound of a few footsteps.
After driving to a place with ample supplies but swarming with zombies, Wan Yu stopped the car and said calmly, "Please."
Xia Zhiyue gently nudged Xing Yuan, who was a bit dazed from the car ride, and said softly, "A Yuan, can you help drive those guys away?"
Xing Yuan smiled obediently, then jumped out of the car, took a few steps forward with an unhesitating stride, stopped, and roared at the sky.
The zombies flinched in fear, and after a moment of hesitation, turned and ran into the distance.
Wan Yu and his teammates showed expressions of pleasant surprise. Great! It seemed that this apocalypse might not be an apocalypse anymore.
"Is her ability limited by range, or can she control the zombies in the entire city?" Wan Yu asked, looking at Xing Yuan, whose eyes had returned to their original blood-red color but still looked a bit naive.
"This... I'm not very sure. Her communication ability is very weak now. But perhaps we'll know when we get to Kyoto," Xia Zhiyue dared not boast that Xing Yuan had such an ability, as it would be awkward if exposed.
"Is that so? That's good. Then we can bring back some more survivors, and they can go to the base in Kyoto together," Wan Yu nodded, still very excited.
This was already very good. The rest could be left to the professionals to research.
Wan Yu installed a loudspeaker on the car and drove around shouting to ask if there were any survivors. After a round, many people heard the sound and, seeing no zombies, mustered the courage to follow them.
The government's army was limited, and the country was vast. Here, there were only a few small teams and the local police.
Wan Yu and his group were considered an unexpected presence. They had only received a report about a situation here and had been lurking here before the zombie outbreak. So after the zombie outbreak, they could only do their best to save some people.
After several days of rescue, they successfully met other military teams. Wan Yu enthusiastically informed them about Xing Yuan's existence and prepared to arrange a time to leave the city together.
Since Xing Yuan was unique, Xia Zhiyue thought of a good way to speed things up.
Xing Yuan would be responsible for gathering the zombies in one place to the best of her ability. As for the few zombies who didn't obey orders, they could handle them.
A month later, after finding most of the people, they prepared to leave.
Perhaps there were still people trapped in this city, but they could not help everyone get home.
So, after leaving some people to continue searching for survivors, Wan Yu led the group and set off for the Kyoto base.
The zombies' destructive power was strong, and many roads were damaged. When passing through those sections, they even had to detour.
More than half a month later, they finally reached the Kyoto base.
It could be said to be worthy of being the capital. This place with the strongest military force had already driven the zombies out of the city.
The first thing they did upon entering Kyoto was to undergo quarantine. After entering the base, everyone looked at the prosperous scene before them, their eyes filled with shock.
After being accustomed to the devastation, suddenly seeing such a prosperous world was truly like a different lifetime!
Wan Yu reported Xing Yuan's existence to the higher-ups as soon as he entered the base.
The higher-ups attached great importance to this situation. Through their observations during this period, they found that some zombies had indeed begun to develop intelligence. However, these zombies did not have human memories.
Like newborns, they possessed the intelligence of children and much greater strength than adults.
Those who had developed intelligence had even learned to use strategy to hunt humans. If they were allowed to develop like this, it was likely that these zombies would eventually form a new race.
At that time, humans might become like the animals they saw – pigs, cattle, and sheep – becoming the reserves for these zombies, which was something no human wanted to see.
Therefore, Xing Yuan's appearance could be said to be timely, bringing a glimmer of hope to humanity at the most critical moment.
There were so many people in the world, and not a small number of them had read zombie novels. They had also seen in many novels that zombies had kings, and Xing Yuan, who was so special and had the ability to control zombies, was very likely to become the King of Zombies.
Xing Yuan stayed in the room, being stared at by so many old men with fervent gazes, wishing she could run out. However, Xia Zhiyue seemed to know her thoughts in advance and occasionally stroked her head, making Xing Yuan's feelings extremely conflicted.
She didn't want these people to look at her, but she wanted her sister to pat her head.
"Ahem, Miss Xia, where did you find her?" Ran Fangxu looked at his old friends acting like they were looking at a rare species and glared at them with disappointment.
What was the use of just looking? They should hurry up and take action!
"Uh..." Xia Zhiyue's expression became a little uncomfortable as she recalled their first meeting. Was it really okay to tell the truth? https:/
"I found her." Xing Yuan, who understood what they were saying, eagerly blurted out.
"Oh? How did you find her?" Ran Fangxu said in a tone like coaxing a child.
"Just... Roar, roar, roar." Xing Yuan's eyes became even redder with anxiety, and she nestled aggrievedly on Xia Zhiyue's shoulder.
Instantly, all eyes turned to Xia Zhiyue again.
Xia Zhiyue: "...That's how we met."
Seeing that she clearly didn't want to talk much, Ran Fangxu changed the subject.
"It's like this, we are very curious why she is different from other zombies. Perhaps it's due to the environment she was in, so we hope Miss Xia can cooperate and tell us everything you know."
Xia Zhiyue also became serious, "I was just about to tell you! I was in a strange laboratory with her before. That laboratory seemed to be conducting some illegal experiments, and there were many human organs inside."
"Human experiments? Do you know the name of that laboratory?" Wan Yu's spirits immediately lifted. He remembered that the reason he went there was because he received a report that someone was conducting illegal experiments.
"I think it was called the Cheng'e Laboratory. I'm not from there and don't know much about this place," Xia Zhiyue recalled.
Wan Yu clapped his hands excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's the name. I went there because of this place. But before I could take action, something happened."
