Through the transparent barrier, Amy, covered in blood, stared blankly at the people outside the glass barrier, seemingly unaware of the changes that were about to happen to her.
Jiang Fu’s heart was sore, and he turned to grab Yuan Chen’s collar and shouted.
“Didn’t you guys already develop a zombie antidote?! Why don’t you give it to her yet?!”
Yuan Chen looked at him with downcast eyes and said with a heavy expression.
“Cheng, calm down a bit. The latest H5 drug is still in the improvement stage, and no one knows what kind of consequences it will produce if used rashly.”
Jiang Fu was lost in thought as he looked at him, his face was helpless and he was at a loss for words. After his chest rose and fell a few times, he grasped Yuan Chen’s hand tightly and looked expectantly as if he(YC) was his(JF) last hope.
“Would you… Will you try it? Whatever the end result is, I will accept it.”
Yuan Chen frowned at him for a while, then looked at Zhou Zheng and Lu Tian, who were also guarding outside, signaling something with their eyes. They looked at each other, saw the painful struggle in each other’s eyes, and after a long while, they both nodded their heads in silence.
A miracle was possible if they tried, but if they didn’t try, Amy would die.
After tapping on the screen for a few moments, green smoke gradually emitted from the ceiling of the transparent room, filling the room with the gaseous H5 agent.
Amy was looking at them from the glass, saw the green smoke that was spreading throughout the room, and started pounding on the glass in fear, asking for help.
Her strength was so great that even the entire transparent room shook slightly, but the barrier made of special materials was not easy to break. Amy’s zombified appearance was slowly swallowed up in the green smoke.
Jiang Fu always kept a close eye on the room, and even though he could no longer see Amy’s figure, his gaze never shifted.
Yuan Chen knew that he hadn’t rested since returning to the base, and besides, he had overused his powers before, so now he was already tight strung. He gently patted Jiang Fu’s shoulder and softly advised him.
“You go back to rest first. The drug will take at least three hours to show its effect. I’ll keep an eye on everything here, and I’ll tell you immediately if anything happens.”
The moment his hand touched Jiang Fu’s shoulder, Jiang Fu reflexively waved away his hand, and his tired face was no longer sweet, soft and affectionate, but was replaced by cold disgust and resistance.
“Don’t touch me.” Jiang Fu gritted out those words.
Yuan Chen’s hands froze, and even Zhou Zheng and Lu Tian behind him opened their mouths in astonishment. They had just learned that Yuan Chen was a plant-based supernatural but did not know about Jiang Fu’s unspeakable secrets.
In the momentary stagnant atmosphere, only the sound of each person’s breathing could be heard. Zhou Zheng came forward and patted Jiang Fu’s shoulder in a roundabout way and also advised him.
“You just listen to Professor Yuan, there is still me and Lu Tian here.”
Jiang Fu looked at him, nodded his head and said.
“Then I will be troubling you guys.”
After saying that, he walked away from Yuan Chen without lifting his head.

Jiang Fu left after one look. After taking a brief shower in Zhou Zheng’s dormitory, he went back to check on Amy’s condition.
Yuan Chen was no longer there, and Zhou Zheng and Lu Tian were worriedly waiting for the drug to work. They waited for three hours. Amy’s zombification did not stop, and the drug failed.
The once sweet little girl had turned into a hideous, howling, ugly monster, and Zhou Zheng punched the glass with a heavy heart. There was no way to face this result and he clenched his premolars.
Lu Tian couldn’t accept this outcome and shouted.
“How could this be?! Where is Professor Yuan?! I’ll go find Professor Yuan!”
His stumbling figure soon disappeared in the hallway of Zone 2, and Jiang Fu stood in front of the glass. Looking down at Amy, who was grumpily pounding around the room, her thick eyelashes cast a small, light shadow under her eyelids.
After some examination, the results remained unchanged. Amy had become a zombie, and other than being killed, she could only end up acting as a test subject. Test subjects were subjected to all kinds of inhumane torture, and might even die on the lab table.
Zhou Zheng and the others stayed up until midnight without deciding what to do about Amy. In the end, when they couldn’t stand it any longer, they all went back to rest, exhausted.
Ten minutes later, a long, silent figure appeared in the hallway of Zone 2, illuminated by the dim lights, and walked silently to Amy’s room. The dull light cast a dizzying halo over his head, and the delicate side of his face reflected a clear shadow on the glass.
He crouched down, flexed his fingers and gently tapped the glass, focusing on the little zombie sitting in the corner.
“Amy.”
The whispered call was as gentle as moonlight in the night, warm enough to make one forget all the cold and fear.
The little zombie was staring at him with no expression on her scary face.
Jiang Fu still patiently whispered her name, and only after a few minutes did the little zombie move slightly, howling hoarsely in her throat and staring intently at Jiang Fu.
Jiang Fu looked at ease and continued to call her name.
“Amy be good, come to me.”
After a few more slow minutes, the little zombie stood up stiffly, walked hesitantly toward him, and finally stopped slowly. She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Fu through a glass door made of a special material, then gulped down her saliva out of her instinct for hunger.
She could smell Jiang Fu’s scent. It was fresh like her favorite cake, or candy, or her mother’s pre-apocalyptic egg custard. It was sweet and soft, with an irresistible aroma.
Jiang Fu sat cross-legged on the ground, he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, and then folded it into a frog with his own hands.
The little zombie was attracted to the nimble movements of his hands and stared down at him without blinking.
The folded paper frog was pressed gently, and then it leaped forward lightly.
The little zombie’s eyes followed its movement.
Jiang Fu didn’t say anything, just quietly pressed the paper frog again.
The little zombie finally sat cross-legged on the floor, like him, with her hands on the glass. Her eyes were curiously and eagerly glued to the paper frog, and the cloudy pupils gradually showed a little clarity.
A little while later, the little zombie pulled out something precious from her dirty pocket, and then slowly spread it out to show it to Jiang Fu.
In the palm of her hand was a paper rose, preserved intact, without even the slightest excess wrinkle.
Jiang Fu’s hand clenched fiercely as he held up the paper frog in front of the zombie and asked softly.
“Want one?”
The little zombie hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Jiang Fu’s tense face finally eased up, and a nice smile appeared on his pretty face.
“Be quiet if you want one, okay?”
The little zombie nodded obediently again.
Jiang Fu got up and tapped on the display panel of the control room equipment. In a few moments, the door to the room clicked open.
Gently pushing open the door and walking in, Jiang Fu squatted down in front of the silly little zombie who raised her head and put the paper frog in her hand, then looked into her confused eyes and said gently.
“Amy, I’m going to sneak you out of here now, so all you have to do is follow me and be quiet, okay?”
The little zombie looked down at her palm for a moment, then slowly clutched and cherished the paper frog, before nodding her head cutely.
Jiang Fu smuggled the little zombie out of the base, and only after the little zombie had crookedly disappeared into the horizon did he gently return to the lab building.
In the dim vision of the middle of the night, the sound of his solitary footsteps on the smooth floor reverberated through the empty laboratory building, eerily. He hadn’t erased the traces left in the lab building earlier and had to do that before the staff took the morning shift.
As he was busy removing the traces of use on the control panel, he caught a glimpse of a shallow shadow overlapping with his.
Jiang Fu withdrew his gaze and waited until the formatting was complete before turning around, glancing at the silent Yuan Chen and saying calmly.
“You’re not going to tell anyone, are you?”
Yuan Chen stared at his long, slender fingers hanging at his side, and the skillful appearance of his nimble operation flew through his mind. He looked at Jiang Fu thoughtfully and said faintly.
“I never knew you could do this kind of thing.”
Jiang Fu smiled coldly, and his ebony eyes gazed at him with a clear and strange look.
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me, just like, I didn’t know you could manipulate vines.”
Yuan Chen’s eyes fell silent for a few seconds before he said.
“I’m sorry, I’m the one who didn’t tell you.”
“Why? Why did you play me like that in the first place?”
As if suddenly out of control, Jiang Fu raised his voice in unbearable anger, and an angry blush appeared on his white face. There was also a mixture of unspeakable shame and the pain of betrayal on his face.
Yuan Chen’s heart stung violently, and his cold face cracked with a few moments of urgency, and he pursed his lips nervously before speaking slowly to explain.
“Whenever a psychic comes in and the electric shock doesn’t work, I use the vines to force out their potential. The plant-based abilities were awakened when I came to the base, and I didn’t tell anyone because it was better for my experiments to be public, so I didn’t tell anyone.”
Yuan Chen looked at him intently, his icy outline had an obvious softness to it.
“Chéng, you were an exception.”
“An exception that I couldn’t handle.”
What beautiful and unconventional whispers of love!
Hehe. I like it.
Jiang Fu’s downcast eyes flashed with an imperceptible smile of pleasure, but when he raised his head again, he was back to his expressionless appearance. He looked at Yuan Chen sarcastically and coldly.
“Let’s break up, I don’t like you anymore.”
The suddenly cramped/cold atmosphere made it hard to breathe, Yuan Chen’s gut was roasted with lava and his whole heart was about to break.
The expression on his face was blank for a moment, and the sound he made were forcefully squeezed through his teeth.
“… What did you say?”
Jiang Fu’s expression was still cold and disgusted, his words as clear as a knife pervasively plunging into Yuan Chen’s heart, causing more pain with every passing moment.
“I said, I’m sick of you! You’re a liar! ”
After saying that, Jiang Fu bypassed him and strode out, as if he could no longer bear to be in the same space with him.
The moment he passed Yuan Chen, Yuan Chen grabbed his arm with a force that almost crushed his bones.
Yuan Chen’s deep voice was like an echo that had reverberated a million times from an extremely deep and cold abyss, vague and void of any emotion.
“ChéngCheng, say that again.”
Jiang Fu heard the slight tremble in his voice, but thought it was due to momentary difficulty as he was unable to accept this outcome.
What he didn’t see was how terrifying the expression on Yuan Chen’s face was, the kind of expression that would knock a man’s limbs off his body. Yuan Chen wanted to possessively circle Jiang Fu into his arms and swallow him down to his belly bite by bite.
“Are you done?! Let go of me!”
The struggling movements and impatient shouts faded in the dimly lit corridor.
“Chéng Chéng.”
The repeated murmurs were filled with deep obsession carved into the bones, thick and unfathomable.
