Xing Yuan frowned, clearly displeased. She noticed the shattered glass. They had left, but they had to destroy things here too. How impolite.
However, since Xing Yuan had been in the laboratory for three days, she couldn't determine when those people had escaped, so she gave up the idea of pursuing them.
She shook the potion in her hand, her expression showing hesitation for the first time. If this failed, she wouldn't be able to make another one.
But after much deliberation, Xing Yuan made up her mind. She opened the stopper and drank the potion in one gulp.
Then, she lay down on the bed, waiting for the potion to take effect.
Xing Yuan felt as though she had slept for a very long time. When she woke up again, she saw that the world outside was blood-red.
She looked at herself in the mirror. The color of her eyes had turned blood-red, and faint blue spots had appeared on her body.
"So ugly!" Xing Yuan exclaimed. Then she walked to the room and applied a layer of powder to cover the blue spots.
Xing Yuan nodded with satisfaction. "Yes! This way, I look better."
Xing Yuan felt hungry. She calmly walked into the empty dining room and slowly heated up the leftovers in the refrigerator.
But after taking one bite, her face changed drastically. She immediately spat the food out.
"How strange! I always eat this! Why does it taste so bitter this time?"
Currently, Xing Yuan's intelligence had slightly regressed due to the potion, and she couldn't figure it out. She rummaged through the refrigerator again and finally took out a bag of blood.
Xing Yuan sniffed the aroma of the fresh blood and eagerly opened the blood bag, devouring the blood inside. "It's so delicious! Why didn't I discover this before?"
After eating and drinking her fill, Xing Yuan couldn't help but let out a roar. Her voice echoed conspicuously in the vast laboratory.
The zombies, aimlessly wandering around, seemed to have received a summons. They abandoned their current prey and turned away from the doors they were pounding on, rushing towards the source of the sound.
The people who had narrowly escaped looked at this scene in bewilderment, then quickly grabbed some supplies and fled.
It was the beginning of the apocalypse. Everyone had not yet awakened their special abilities, so they naturally lacked the courage to fight these zombie monsters. Therefore, escaping from them was enough to make them rejoice.
Xing Yuan looked at the group of zombies bowing to her with a look of disgust. "They're all so ugly! Even uglier than me. Why are such ugly creatures surrounding me?"
The zombies seemed to sense her disgust and quietly retreated a little, but they still gazed longingly at the king who had summoned them.
Currently, the zombies had low intelligence. They instinctively felt that they should obey the person in front of them. They didn't have the brains to ponder the reason for their actions.
Xing Yuan casually called over two zombies that looked somewhat presentable and observed them closely, as if trying to find some difference between them.
However, Xing Yuan found nothing and drooped her head, appearing extremely disappointed.
But when Xing Yuan's gaze fell upon the cosmetics left by the women in the laboratory on the table, her eyes lit up. Although they were indeed a bit ugly, it didn't matter. She could make them prettier.
As for those who were disfigured beyond recognition or born with ugly features, Xing Yuan roared at them dismissively and banished them outside the laboratory.
With Xing Yuan's efforts, the zombies successfully learned to clean themselves after eating. Regardless of other things, their faces always had to be kept clean.
When Xing Yuan was in a good mood, she led the vast zombie army to loot the hospital's reserve blood plasma. She felt that the zombies' eating process was too crude and lacked any aesthetic appeal.
On the way back, the zombie army had gained many new subordinates.
The people in the city tried to minimize their presence, fearing that these zombies would notice them.
Although the scene was very strange, at least their lives were temporarily safe. The zombies were all trotting after Xing Yuan everywhere, so they had no intention of dealing with these humans.
Looking at the bustling, crowded, and still incredibly ugly zombies, Xing Yuan's blood-red eyes were filled with worry. "Why isn't there a single good-looking one?"
Xing Yuan roared a few more times, keeping the better-looking zombies and driving away the unattractive ones to fend for themselves.
After observing the lifeless faces of these zombies for a while, Xing Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. She decided to go out herself and capture a good-looking person to admire.
Xing Yuan wandered slowly through the city. Because her appearance was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person, she didn't attract anyone's attention.
At this time, in a supermarket in the city, a group of people were gathered, looking anxiously at the zombies stirring outside. With every impact on the door, their hearts trembled.
"What do we do? We're going to die here," a delicate young girl said fearfully, leaning on a handsome young man.
The man hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid! There are so many of us, we'll definitely find a way out."
"Wang Xi, it's all your fault for insisting on coming to this city. Now look, we're trapped here." Shi Ci Tian suddenly accused the girl.
"Is it my fault? You didn't refuse when I suggested it, did you? Why are you acting innocent now?" Wang Xi immediately retaliated.
"Alright, alright! Everyone calm down. We still have enough food in the supermarket for a few days. That's enough time for us to come up with a plan. Maybe those zombies will leave on their own," Si Na Wan tried to mediate.
"Do you believe that yourself?" someone sneered, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
These people were all students from this city. They had wanted to go out and have some fun during the holidays, but who knew that the zombies from novels would appear in reality.
Shortly after they entered the supermarket to take shelter from the rain, zombies appeared. If they hadn't quickly locked the door, they would have likely already died in the zombies' mouths.
In a corner of the supermarket, Xia Zhi Yue also looked uneasy. She wore a mask and a hat, and had not revealed her face to anyone yet.
Xia Zhi Yue felt a pang of regret. She should have listened to her agent and stayed honestly in the hotel, letting him run errands. She had just been hungry late at night and wanted to buy something to eat, but she never expected such bad luck.
Human hearts are the most difficult to test. As a celebrity, no one understood this truth better than Xia Zhi Yue.
Now that she was completely alone with no acquaintances, if her identity were exposed, who knew if people would be kind or malicious? In this situation, the so-called law would likely no longer be able to suppress human nature.
