Xing Yuan followed Xia Zhi Yue closely. People who were beautiful always had certain privileges, no matter where they were.
It wasn't until Xia Zhi Yue reached the innermost part of the laboratory and saw the dissected corpse on the experimental table that her face instantly turned pale.
Born under the red flag and raised in the sunshine, she wasn't exactly overflowing with a sense of justice, but she had never seen such a shocking scene. Smelling the pungent odor emanating from the corpse, she instantly confirmed one thing: this research institute, even if it had nothing to do with the zombie incident, was definitely not clean.
It was highly likely that they had been conducting inhuman experiments all along. What Xia Zhi Yue saw next in the storage room, the human organs clearly preserved in formalin, further confirmed her suspicion.
Xing Yuan clearly couldn't understand the extent of the shock Xia Zhi Yue was experiencing. In her eyes, these things were commonplace. Even though her memories were fragmented, she subconsciously agreed with this view.
Although a frown on a beautiful face was still beautiful, Xing Yuan instinctively smoothed Xia Zhi Yue's brow with her finger.
Xia Zhi Yue retreated slightly, unaccustomed to the gesture. She had been single her entire life. While she had a few friends, her profession made it impossible for her to trust anyone completely.
Xia Zhi Yue looked up and was instantly captivated by Xing Yuan's innocent, childlike gaze. She felt a pang of sympathy for the woman, who was around her age. Perhaps she was also a victim of this sinister laboratory.
It was just that this victim was a bit special.
"Goo goo," Xia Zhi Yue lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment. Then, remembering that Xing Yuan wasn't very intelligent, she boldly raised her head again. After all, she certainly wouldn't understand the meaning of this sound.
Unexpectedly, Xing Yuan understood. She took out two bags of blood plasma, handed one to Xia Zhi Yue, and took the other for herself, drinking it with gusto.
Xia Zhi Yue took the blood plasma, her expression filled with disbelief. Could this stuff really be eaten? But seeing Xing Yuan enjoying it so much, was it just that the color looked a bit off?
Xia Zhi Yue tore open the bag, and a pungent smell of blood immediately rushed out. Xia Zhi Yue couldn't help but gag a few times.
Due to the world's upheaval, she hadn't had much appetite for the past few days. She had also expended a lot of energy escaping. If she hadn't been worried about potential problems here, she would have found a place to lie down long ago.
Xia Zhi Yue gazed enviously at Xing Yuan, who was eating heartily, constantly telling herself that she was eating "Mao Xue Wang" (a spicy dish), not blood, not blood.
After comforting herself for a while, Xia Zhi Yue felt that she could breathe again.
After a long while, Xing Yuan finished eating and looked at the dazed Xia Zhi Yue with obvious confusion in her eyes. Even Xia Zhi Yue could clearly understand her meaning.
She was asking: Why aren't you eating!
Xia Zhi Yue was speechless. Were they even the same species? She certainly couldn't accept this food.
Xia Zhi Yue pondered for a moment. Recalling the respect the zombies had shown Xing Yuan earlier, she suddenly had a brilliant idea.
"Xing Yuan, can you take me out of here?" Xia Zhi Yue stammered, her eyes filled with nervousness.
Whether she could walk all over this place in the future depended on today.
Xing Yuan tilted her head as if in thought, then nodded gently. Her trimmed fingers took Xia Zhi Yue's hand.
The two walked outside together.
Seeing that Xing Yuan was about to take her out of the city in the same way as before, Xia Zhi Yue hastily tried to stop her. She didn't want to experience the sensation of a roller coaster ride again.
Xia Zhi Yue looked around and spotted a nearly new car. Pointing at it, she turned to Xing Yuan and said, "Let's drive."
Xing Yuan nodded obediently, then looked puzzled in front of the car. How was this thing operated?
Xia Zhi Yue saw Xing Yuan's eager hands and quickly reacted, opening the car door for her.
She had already felt Xing Yuan's extraordinary strength before. If she had let her open the door herself, the car might have been scrapped and become inoperable.
Xia Zhi Yue felt that for her own safety, it was better to be cautious.
Xia Zhi Yue had also learned to drive and had obtained her license several years ago. Her skills weren't great, and her driving was only at the level of being able to start and move the car. Speed was completely out of the question.
The car drove slowly down the street. Because of the aura of power that Xing Yuan unconsciously exuded, the zombies, even if they heard the commotion, dared not approach and instead consciously kept their distance.
For a moment, Xia Zhi Yue even felt as if she had returned to the harmony before the disaster had struck.
She drove to a large supermarket. Although the supermarket seemed to have been looted by survivors, the goods were mostly intact, likely due to the influence of the fierce zombies. Especially the clothes, hardly anyone paid attention to their appearance while fleeing for their lives.
Xia Zhi Yue began to select the items she needed. She went to the clothing section and specifically compared their body types, picking out clothes that would fit both of them.
Xia Zhi Yue unconsciously unleashed her shopping spree nature, and the items she bought were already piled up, impossible to carry.
Seeing Xia Zhi Yue's distressed expression, Xing Yuan suddenly had an inspiration and let out a roar towards the sky. The nearby zombies heard the sound and instantly formed a circle outside the supermarket, awaiting the summons of their queen.
Xia Zhi Yue was startled by the sudden appearance of so many zombies, but she quickly understood Xing Yuan's intention.
So, she asked Xing Yuan to have the zombies clean themselves in the restroom, and then, while the zombies carried the items like bodyguards following behind her, she continued to the next place.
Xing Yuan looked at Xia Zhi Yue's happy expression and grinned. Her thoughts were simple: if the beauty is happy, she is happy too.
Of course, Xia Zhi Yue also remembered to specifically leave two of each item for any survivors who might be fortunate enough to come here. After all, she didn't want to inadvertently become a murderer.
Xia Zhi Yue did see a few people on the road. However, as soon as they saw the large number of zombies surrounding her, they didn't think twice and took to their heels.
Would they stay here to become food for zombies?
They never considered why this person could make those zombies obey her. Now that they could barely save themselves, their former strong curiosity had been worn down by this time. How could they have the energy to care about whether others lived or died?
