A dizzying spell passed, and Lin Qinghe entered the original body.
"Professor Lin, Professor Lin, wake up, wake up quickly..."
Lin Qinghe frowned and opened her eyes, seeing a girl in a white lab coat.
The girl in the white lab coat was startled when she saw Lin Qinghe wake up. She took a few steps back in a panic and stammered, "Professor Lin, you're awake. I... I saw you sleeping for too long, and it's almost time to go to the lab to draw blood from You Rong, so I had to wake you up..."
Lin Qinghe had not fully processed the information given by the system. She pursed her lips and calmly replied, "Okay, I know. You can go out first. I'll go to the lab later."
"Yes, Professor Lin."
The girl in the white lab coat left. Lin Qinghe closed her eyes, and the information given by the system and the original body's system flooded her mind.
In the apocalyptic world, most humans had turned into zombies due to an unknown virus. A small number of humans remained uninfected and gathered to form the R organization. The R organization had bases, supplies, powerful firearms, and the top elites from all walks of life.
The original body, as a medical professor of the R organization, was responsible for researching the virus and how to modify human functions to make humans stronger and more resistant to the virus.
During a base transfer, the original body was surrounded by a large number of zombies and was bitten, nearly becoming infected. You Rong, as a member of the organization, was responsible for rescuing the original body and others. Seeing the injured original body, to save her, You Rong did not hesitate to expose his special ability to cure zombie bites with his blood.
After being rescued, the original body transferred to a safe base with You Rong. Once out of danger, she immediately broke her promise to keep You Rong's secret, reported You Rong's special ability to the organization, and even proposed that the organization imprison You Rong in the laboratory and extract his blood for storage. This blood would be used to treat high-ranking infected organization members and for research.
You Rong was imprisoned in the laboratory, his blood was extracted daily, and he was injected with various drugs for experiments. You Rong was tortured to the brink of death in the laboratory.
After storing a certain amount of You Rong's blood, the original body reported to the organization, requesting to dissect You Rong completely. You Rong took the opportunity to break free from his restraints, grabbed a drug that was still in its experimental phase and could turn people into zombies, and injected it into himself without hesitation. He instantly turned into a zombie and escaped from the laboratory.
You Rong, who had escaped and become a zombie, did not want to harm humans. During an attack on the female lead, Jiang Wanwan, by zombies, he drove away the zombies that were trying to harm Jiang Wanwan and saved her.
Jiang Wanwan discovered that You Rong was different from other zombies; he was unwilling to harm people and unlike other slow-moving zombies. She began to pay attention to You Rong, even secretly feeding him food, hiding him from the organization that was desperately trying to find him.
Under Jiang Wanwan's protection, You Rong gradually evolved into a zombie king. In the final stage of evolution, Jiang Wanwan was captured by the original body and the R organization while protecting You Rong. She was tortured relentlessly, with the intention of forcing her to reveal You Rong's whereabouts.
You Rong, having evolved into a zombie king, commanded thousands of zombies. In a fit of rage, he led the zombie army to attack the R organization's base. He conquered the R organization's base and rewarded the hypocritical and selfish people, including the original body, to the low-level zombies. The original body was dismembered and eaten by the zombies, leaving no complete corpse.
After receiving all the information, Lin Qinghe squeezed her aching forehead.
It was one thing that the original body was selfish and hypocritical, but she was also so ruthless, intending to personally dissect You Rong, without any regard for his life-saving grace.
However, in the apocalyptic world, human nature was hard to say. To survive, people would be selfish and ruthless.
Lin Qinghe sighed, closed her eyes, and began to organize her thoughts.
Her thoughts were still lingering on the last world. She clutched her chest, a sense of confusion filling her.
Why did she feel reluctant in the end?
Shouldn't she be happy after completing a world's mission?
You Rong's affectionate gaze flashed in her mind.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Lin Qinghe suddenly opened her eyes, her brows furrowed. She bit her lip, forcing herself to suppress something that was about to spill out.
Lin Qinghe shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the messy thoughts.
She muttered to herself, "Okay, stop thinking, stop thinking... Cheer up, and continue completing the auxiliary mission for this world. You can't be fooled by the unconscious You Rong in the system. Don't forget how much of a scoundrel he was in the real world. Yes... don't be fooled by You Rong's mask, absolutely not..."
Lin Qinghe organized her thoughts, picked up the documents, and, relying on the original body's memory, skillfully made her way to the laboratory where You Rong was imprisoned.
"Beep—" the laboratory door opened.
Lin Qinghe's eyes flickered, and she stepped inside, walking to the center of the laboratory.
She finally saw You Rong.
You Rong was tightly bound to the laboratory examination bed. His face was as pale as paper, his cheeks were sunken, and his bare arms and legs were covered with bruises and marks.
Lin Qinghe's heart ached.
She knew these were the traces left by the original body and others continuously extracting You Rong's blood and injecting him with various drugs.
If You Rong's chest hadn't been slightly rising and falling, Lin Qinghe would have thought the person on the examination bed was a corpse.
Lin Qinghe forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her heart and walked step by step closer to You Rong.
You Rong's expression was dull, his eyes vacant, like a soulless body. As Lin Qinghe reached out to touch his wrist, he still trembled unconsciously, as if the body's prolonged suffering had left a memory.
As soon as the original body approached, it meant You Rong was about to undergo endless and inhumane experiments.
Lin Qinghe withdrew her hand, her lips pressed tightly together, trying to suppress her emotions.
She couldn't reveal her emotions because others were in the laboratory. If the organization's high-level personnel noticed that she no longer wanted to research You Rong, she would be forced to withdraw from the research team, and it would be difficult to contact You Rong again.
Lin Qinghe stood still. Other people in the laboratory walked over with equipment and said as usual, "Teacher Lin, are we still drawing 200 milliliters of You Rong's blood today?"
200 milliliters of blood, for the now extremely weak You Rong, might cost him his life!
Lin Qinghe's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Put down the equipment. I'll draw blood later. I need to inject You Rong with a new drug now. This drug needs to be kept secret. All of you leave the laboratory!"
"Professor Lin, what is this new drug? Can you tell us?"
Lin Qinghe's eyes sharpened, and she stared coldly at the man who spoke, "I already said the drug needs to be kept secret. Don't you understand? Everyone out!"
As a core member of the research team, Lin Qinghe, apart from the organization's high-level personnel, was obeyed by her assistants.
The researchers, all with medical backgrounds, had no choice but to reluctantly put down their equipment and leave.
