You Rong's eyes turned cold, and she strode towards Gu Hesheng.
Gu Hesheng's mind flashed back to the day You Rong crushed Gao Tian's head with her bare hands. His heart tightened, and he retreated in panic, "You Rong! You... Don't come near me! I'm telling you! Lin Qinghe is in our hands!"
You Rong stopped, her eyes narrowed, and the surrounding atmosphere abruptly dropped to freezing point.
Gu Hesheng, however, believed he had grasped You Rong's weakness and finally felt emboldened.
He swallowed, raising his voice, "I know your body has been modified and you've become very powerful, but if you don't want Lin Qinghe to get hurt, you'd better obey us obediently! Otherwise, I'll have her killed immediately!"
You Rong let out a cold laugh, "Heh heh..."
Gu Hesheng, "What... what are you laughing at! You should know Lin Qinghe is in our hands! Do you want her to die?"
Previously, You Rong had been willing to be captured herself, using her life as a threat to make them release Lin Qinghe. Therefore, Gu Hesheng was certain that You Rong would not dare to act rashly for Lin Qinghe's sake.
What Gu Hesheng never expected was that You Rong had already rescued Lin Qinghe.
You Rong looked up, her gaze sharp, meeting Gu Hesheng's eyes. Her thin lips moved, and her voice was cold as she said, "Take action, strangle yourself!"
Gu Hesheng's hands, beyond his control, clamped around his own neck. He widened his eyes, looking at You Rong in disbelief, "You... what did you do to me, you... cough cough..."
Gu Hesheng's hands gripped his neck tightly, with such force that he could barely breathe, his face flushing red.
Just as Gu Hesheng's face turned green and he was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen, You Rong said coldly, "You shouldn't have used her to threaten me! Otherwise, I would have let you die a quicker death!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Hesheng's eyes rolled back, and he fell unconscious. Even in his unconscious state, his hands were still tightly strangling his neck until he suffocated to death.
You Rong didn't even look at Gu Hesheng lying on the ground and walked straight ahead.
At this moment, the R Organization base realized someone had broken in. An alarm sounded, and everyone panicked and prepared to defend. However, when they went outside and saw the dense masses of zombies surrounding the base, everyone was stunned into shock.
You Rong went directly to Jiang Tao's lounge and kicked the door open. Jiang Tao had just finished changing and was about to go out. The moment he saw You Rong, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively reached for his gun to shoot You Rong.
You Rong narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "Put it down!"
Jiang Tao looked at his hand in disbelief, which obediently lowered the gun. Even he felt a sense of horror at this moment.
"You Rong! What exactly did you do to me?! I... why is my body out of control?!"
You Rong met Jiang Tao's gaze and sneered, "What I did to your body, shouldn't you be asking what you did to my body first?"
"You..." Jiang Tao, as expected of someone who had seen many great events, forcibly calmed himself and said, "What exactly do you want?"
You Rong said expressionlessly, "I didn't kill you because I still have use for you. However, it depends on whether you want to live. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you either."
"You Rong, you're too confident. Your body has become incredibly powerful due to the modification of the serum, but you are currently in the R Organization's base. If you kill me, even with your current strength, can you escape from a force of tens of thousands of people armed with sophisticated weapons?!" Jiang Tao threatened coldly.
You Rong sneered dismissively, "Jiang Tao, you may not fully understand the situation in front of you."
"What do you mean?"
You Rong remained silent. She picked up the remote on the table and turned on the R Organization base's new security system. The large screen in the room displayed all the surveillance footage.
You Rong pointed to the densely packed group of zombies gathered outside the base in the footage and said, "There are at least eighty or ninety thousand zombies gathered outside, and many of them are high-level zombies with free movement. Do you still have the confidence to repeat what you just said?"
Jiang Tao's expression shifted as he watched the surveillance video, finally becoming more unpleasant than if he had eaten feces.
After a long pause, he gritted his teeth unwillingly, "You Rong! Speak... What exactly do you want me to do?"
"It seems you are quite sensible, much better than Gu Hesheng, who strangled himself to death."
Jiang Tao's face grew even more grim. Having witnessed You Rong's abilities, he had no desire to know who was behind Gu Hesheng's self-strangulation.
You Rong's face was somber as she stared at Jiang Tao, "It's very simple. First, I want you to immediately order the R Organization headquarters to stop all experiments on human modification and destroy all serums and data."
Jiang Tao gritted his teeth. Seeing such a successful experimental subject like You Rong before him, despite his unwillingness, he had no choice but to compromise as he was under her control.
Jiang Tao said, "Alright! I promise you!"
You Rong continued, "Second, I want you to obey me and join the Alliance. You will still be the leader of the R Organization, but all R Organization actions must obey the Alliance, and the Alliance can freely allocate the R Organization's resources."
"Alliance?" Jiang Tao asked, confused.
"I will create an Alliance formed by all current survivor organizations. I will find a way for humans and zombies to coexist peacefully, open up new resources, and find a suitable mode of coexistence!" You Rong's expression was firm. "I can definitely do it!"
Jiang Tao looked at You Rong with a complex expression. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "...Alright, I can agree to that."
He knew that You Rong was not speaking empty words; she truly had the ability to achieve the new era she spoke of.
You Rong nodded with satisfaction, "I will contact you again."
After You Rong finished speaking, she turned and left. Only after You Rong had completely departed could Jiang Tao's body move on its own.
Just as Jiang Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, someone came to report, "Leader! There's a problem in the laboratory! Someone broke in and rescued Lin Qinghe, killed Director Gu and Jiang Li, and now there are large numbers of zombies gathered outside the base. What should we do now?"
Jiang Tao took a deep breath and said sternly, "Go and prepare. I need to have a video conference with others at headquarters, immediately!"
"Leader, should we order the eradication of the large number of zombies outside now..."
"Do as I say first! Hurry!"
The person outside dared not disobey and quickly replied, "Yes, Leader! I understand, I'll go now!"
Jiang Tao frowned, thinking that as long as he did as You Rong said, the problem of the large number of zombies gathered outside would naturally be resolved.
-------------------------------------
Outside the R Organization base, Lin Qinghe waited patiently for You Rong. Suddenly, Jiang Xun said happily, "Sister Lin! Look, Brother is back!"
Lin Qinghe looked up and saw You Rong walking towards them.
You Rong opened the car door and got in. Lin Qinghe's eyes curved, and she smiled faintly, "You're back, are you alright?"
You Rong held Lin Qinghe's left hand, kissed the back of her hand, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine... Everything is resolved. From now on, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
