"What are you doing?" the hotel owner rushed over upon hearing the commotion, glaring at Fang Heyu.
"There are zombies inside," Fang Heyu explained, still shaken.
The owner frowned and looked at the person behind him. "Didn't I tell you not to open rooms that are quiet?"
The server's expression was also flustered. "I'm sorry, boss. A young lady said she wanted to go up to find a friend. I thought they had already contacted each other."
"The phones have no signal now, how could they have contacted each other?" The owner's face darkened as he berated them.
Zombies have appeared, and you're still not being careful? Do you have to risk your life to know what to do?
Fang Heyu said nothing, simply turning back into the room. His eyes were filled with determination. He had seen it just now, that thing that looked like a zombie had taken Miss Xia away.
So Miss Xia should not be in any mortal danger for the time being. When his powers mature, he would repay her kindness and rescue her. If all else failed, he would find her family, which would be a way to repay her kindness.
Meanwhile, Xia Zhiyue was dizzy as Xing Yuan put her down.
Xing Yuan looked at Xia Zhiyue, who was swaying and unsteady, with confusion in her eyes. Was this beautiful person sick? Sick people might become ugly.
Xing Yuan looked at Xia Zhiyue carefully and nodded with satisfaction. As expected of the one she chose, she was still beautiful even when sick.
As Xing Yuan led Xia Zhiyue out of the laboratory, she saw a pile of messy things outside, as expected. Ever since these zombies understood that she wanted to find beautiful things or people, they had acted like they were offering tribute, piling up what they considered beautiful outside the laboratory, waiting for the queen's inspection.
Seeing Xing Yuan return, the zombies on both sides prostrated themselves on the ground, as if welcoming their queen.
This shocking scene made Xia Zhiyue instinctively grab Xing Yuan's sleeve in fear, clinging tightly to her, afraid that the zombies would suddenly pounce.
Xing Yuan always had some patience for beautiful things. She surveyed the zombies surrounding them with a warning gaze, signaling to them that this person belonged to her.
The zombies responded with low growls, lowering their bodies even further.
Xing Yuan pushed open the door and walked in with satisfaction.
There were a few other zombies in the laboratory that she had previously thought looked good. But now, comparing them, Xing Yuan looked at Xia Zhiyue's anxious eyebrows and decisively drove all those zombies out.
Now, in her eyes, beauty was justice.
Watching the strange zombies leave, Xia Zhiyue quietly let out a breath and cautiously distanced herself from the person in front of her.
Xing Yuan felt the warmth of skin contact disappear, and her expression instantly became dejected. Her blood-red eyes looked pitiful, like some abandoned little animal.
"Roar roar, roooar roooar." Xing Yuan roared for a long time, but only received Xia Zhiyue's confused gaze. What was this guy saying?
Xing Yuan was depressed. She squatted down, her little head lowered, looking dispirited.
Xia Zhiyue was amused by Xing Yuan's demeanor, and her unease dissipated a lot. This silly-looking thing, what could she do?
"Good girl~" Xia Zhiyue gently stroked her head, her gaze as tender as water.
Xing Yuan rubbed against Xia Zhiyue's palm like a satisfied little beast, causing Xia Zhiyue to feel a slight tickle.
"Stop messing around!" Xia Zhiyue's voice was very soft, as if indulging a disobedient child.
Xing Yuan obediently stopped, her blood-red eyes filled with childlike adoration.
"What's your name?" Xia Zhiyue looked at Xing Yuan, whose appearance was identical to that of a normal person except for her eyes, and who seemed to understand what she was saying. She had already regarded her as a normal person.
Name? Xing Yuan thought for a moment before understanding Xia Zhiyue's meaning. She hesitated, stood up, and walked in a certain direction. Xia Zhiyue quickly followed, not daring to stay alone in this gloomy place.
Following her residual memories, Xing Yuan led Xia Zhiyue to her room and rummaged through the closet.
Xia Zhiyue observed the room's furnishings. The room was extremely clean and tidy, indicating that the owner was very self-disciplined, even to the point of being a bit of a germaphobe.
After Xia Zhiyue had looked around, Xing Yuan presented her with a work ID card as if offering a treasure.
Cheng E Laboratory, Professor's Assistant - Xing Yuan.
Xia Zhiyue looked at the card in her hand and compared it to the person in front of her, confirming they were the same person.
Xia Zhiyue chuckled, her hand unconsciously reaching up to stroke Xing Yuan's head again. "So your name is Xing Yuan!"
Xing Yuan nodded hesitantly. She didn't remember her name, but she had some impression of this room, so she must be called this name.
"Are there others here?" Xia Zhiyue noticed that Xing Yuan's intelligence didn't seem very high, so she deliberately slowed down her speech, giving her enough time to think.
Xing Yuan shook her head.
"Then, can I look around here?" Xia Zhiyue probed. She decided to change the subject immediately if Xing Yuan showed any signs of resistance.
Fortunately, after a moment of confusion, Xing Yuan nodded firmly.
Xia Zhiyue took the lead.
This laboratory was not small. There had been nearly a hundred people here before. However, Bi Cheng E had a peculiar personality, and this was strictly a private laboratory. Therefore, some people couldn't stand it and left one after another.
So, on the eve of the zombie outbreak, there were only fifty to sixty people in this laboratory, including the cleaning staff.
Bi Cheng E had always been confident in his research, and he liked to find people to test his drugs. Therefore, this laboratory had a bad reputation in the vicinity.
Xia Zhiyue searched room by room, hoping to gain a better understanding of this laboratory and to figure out why so many zombies were gathered here.
Xia Zhiyue was neither blind nor foolish. Those zombies clearly feared this woman named Xing Yuan. It was impossible for monsters like zombies, who had no feelings, to fear another person without reason, unless... this person possessed something special that made them fearful.
Xia Zhiyue had a hunch that this laboratory might be related to the current zombie apocalypse.
She secretly checked Xing Yuan's temperature. Although it was extremely low and her pulse was barely perceptible, she was still alive.
Xia Zhiyue put all the work IDs left by some of the researchers in the rooms into her backpack. These people might not all be dead. If she met people from this laboratory in the future, she might find some clues.
