Li Zhen’s precision instruments really surprised Fang He. But it also made Fang He feel more and more sad. Even if Li Zhen had twice as many instruments and equipment, he would not be able to save himself.
After all, Fang He knew that only after a few years of the apocalypse did they manage to established a laboratory in City A base. All surviving relevant experts, in coordination with various parties, were brought together.
Those people used anyone as an experiment without any scruples. However, it took several years to invent a reversal vaccine to solve this virus. And the most developed vaccine only made some people’s blood developed some sort of resistance that could barely withstand the virus and could only prolong the zombification. And it’s a powerful medicine that lasts only for half a month.
However, at this moment, Fang He was comforted by Li Zhen when he should have been the one feeling nervous. Li Zhen’s hand seemed to have magical powers. He stroked his fur, running his hand along his back, then occasionally scratching him, and sometimes rubbing his belly causing Fang He’s whole cat to relax.
It’s just that Fang He could clearly feel that the temperature of Li Zhen’s palm was getting colder and colder. This kind of awareness makes Fang He sad. Li Zhen’s zombification seems to take longer than the average person infected with the virus, but the obvious symptoms of zombification have not changed.
After waiting for half an hour, Li Zhen stood up holding Fang He in his arms. The instrument finally completes the separation and the analysis of the blood, and the complex structure of the virus is displayed on the monitor connected to the instrument.
When Li Zhen saw the virus structure, Fang He could feel his hold tightened around him slightly. His already cold expression became even colder, and he was obviously holding back his anger.
Fang He looked at the monitor. Although he seemed familiar with this kind of thing, with his meager knowledge, it was difficult for him to understand the structure of this virus. Fang He stretched out his paw and pressed Li Zhen’s wrist, meowing twice.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and sat down slowly. Looking at his already paler arms, a wry smile flashed across his mouth.
Li Zhen’s expression looked very wrong. Fang He climbed up a bit, following Li Zhen’s arm, then raised his head to face Li Zhen. At least say something, what exactly do you see?
Li Zhen fixedly looked at Fang He’s eyes. The doubts reflected from that green cat’s eyes calmed him slightly, and he reached out to rub He-miao’s little kitty head. He took the other syringe, and spoke in a low but gentle voice, “He-miao, I’m going to do a test for you. Don’t be afraid.”

In fact, Li Zhen knew this kind of virus structure.
A few years ago, Li Zhen was invited to assist Interpol in handling a case and destroyed an overseas research institute, which was suspected of using humans to conduct experiments to study a species of extraterrestrial microorganism.
This kind of extraterrestrial microorganism was brought by a meteorite, but he doesn’t know where the people from that research institute got those meteorites. The composition and structure of the meteorites are strange and unpredictable.
In some of the research materials that Li Zhen saw, this kind of virus can cause a person’s body to undergo an abnormal change, producing an abnormality causing a mutation similar to that of a superpowers. And those who failed the experiment became zombified living dead.
When working overtime to do an autopsy last night, he found that the victim seemed to have traces of that extraterrestrial microorganism on his body. But he didn’t have the corresponding equipment, so he could only make preliminary speculations.
However, the test results now told him that he has been infected with a strain that can actually become a virus, and this extraterrestrial virus has mutated.
How did this virus spread? After the institute was controlled, obviously all the data and research materials were destroyed, and even the two mutants have been held in special custody. So why did this virus reappear after all these years?
Moreover, this virus has undergone mutation. If he, Li Zhen, still had time, he would have been able to detect the mode of transmission of this virus.
However, looking at his already ghastly pale complexion, Li Zhen knew that he was running out of time. Sooner or later, he will also become a zombie that feeds on human flesh.
Fang He couldn’t understand Li Zhen’s reaction. He looked at Li Zhen’s eyes that began to turn red, and felt more and more sad. He originally hoped for some miracles, perhaps some kind of accident that would make Li Zhen not to zombify anymore or something.
But Li Zhen does not have the energy to think about these problems anymore. His movements have begun to stiffen, and he also sensed that his consciousness was beginning to be infested.
Li Zhen looked down at Fang He for a while. This is a clever kitten, if possible, he would really want to know what other surprises his family Ha-miao will give him.
However, his time may be running out. This virus is not only potent in humans, but is also fatal to animals.
According to the data from that research institute, there is no possibility that the virus will mutate animals. Animals infected with this virus will only zombified, otherwise, the institute would not be in such a high rate of failure. So they crazily experimented with the human body.
Therefore, Li Zhen took advantage of the time when his consciousness was clear, and walked out of the laboratory holding his He-miao. He rubbed the kitten’s head again, then walked directly to the door of his house.
When Li Zhen slowly put him on the ground, Fang He’s cat eyes stared at him with some uncertainty. When he saw Li Zhen was about to close the door, his whole cat suddenly went on fire.
Meow-wu, this cat master didn’t even intend to abandon you, but you actually want to throw this cat master out of the room?!
Just a moment before the door closed, Fang He rushed back at once. With a sharp scream, he pounced on Li Zhen’s legs, and his cat paws grabbed Li Zhen’s coat and pants in a deadly grip.
Li Zhen’s rigid body moved slightly. He looked down at He-miao, who was holding him tightly. Then saw a pair of translucent jasper-like cat eyes full of anger, and even had an urge to rush up to him for a bite.
Fang He yelled fiercely, his pair of cat eyes can’t even glare at this fool, “Meow, meow, meow…”
The author has something to say:
It’s short, I admit my fault _(:з”∠)_
Sunnyshies : I’m wrong, I thought, this chapter was the official start of the apocalypse, but it’s just Li Zhen mentioning some stuff about the virus. I’m not gonna guess anymore…let’s just look forward to their official debut as zombie and cat pair.
Edited!!!
Thx for the chapter
He-miao: if we die we die together!!
Li Zhen: hearing only illegible meowing noises huh?
meow, meow, meow! (stupid Li Zhen!) xD
Microbiology major moment over! Haha. This was a sad chapter though. Both man and cat want to do their best for the other… I’m glad this is tagged the way it is or it would be that saddest of scenes from I am Legend with the dog all over again!
Thanks for your hard work translating!
Your major sounds so interesting. I kinda want to study it but I’m already struggling with our biochemistry and organic chemistry 😭😭😭
Thank you for the chapter!!! ❤️❤️
Interesting to have the reason for the existence of the virus already 🧐
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
»But Li Zhen doesn’t not have the energy to think about these problems anymore.« – not
Ah, now I understand why our cat scribbled smth with an alien virus on the wall and not zombies directly. I was so confused when I read that a few chapters ago :’D
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
He-miao lived in the lab for his lifetime, so though he don’t know most things, he knew a lot about apocalypse. He will help Li Zhen a lot in later…
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m so excited about the next chapter since translator said that it would be the official start of the apocalypse (((o(*゚▽゚)o)))
But it was adorable that he-miao became attached to li zhen, and was determined to be with him even when he was about to become a zombie ❤️ but I don’t understand why would like zhen want the blood samples from he-miao? Did I miss some
Whoops I posted the comment prematurely, but I realized that li zhen was checking if he-miao was infected.
I am little afraid that li zhen would want to eat he-miao since he is considered fresh meat. And would it be possible that there will be zombie animals in the future since most novels do have that.
thanks for the chapter ♡
Why is it so complicated lol. I feel like author wanted to have both ‘it’s alien virus’ and ‘people did it to themselves’, and this explanation allows them to coexist.
Thank you for translating <3
And yeah, I agree to that as well. Lol, cause the
major climax of the story will focused to that.wahahaha… I almost spoil it! hahaha…(≧▽≦)I’m fvcking crying wtf 😭
thanks for the chapter <3
no shit they can’t cure it, those people are dead for fuck’s sake. How do you cure fucking death?
I’m confused.. Can a bacteria transform into a virus ??? Aren’t they two different microorganisms ???
I felt so enlightened thanks translator mwah
no problem~ (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ 。☆
Oh no… Fang He wasn’t actually in the apocalypse was he…
This chapter made me cry for a bit
aww why am i crying 😭
Fang He is so sweet
Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow!*
“I will beat you to death if you do that again!”
3rd rime abandoned cat He-Maio HAHAHAHAH
estou tão curioso pra saber quando quando miaomiao vai ter um corpo humano!!
So if LZ suspects that car is smarter than average, or might be a spiritual pet, why doesn’t he talk to him, like at all, even a sentence of consolation would do. These stoic ML’s are usually this way towards their human lovers, not to their animal friends!
