This... this zombie... no... this person is actually Xu Ruina?
Zhang Chen found it hard to believe!
If it wasn't for the red string tied to her left wrist in the video!
And this red string was identical to the one on the Wailing One's left wrist...
Zhang Chen would have already been preparing to go out and hunt monsters.
Perhaps Xu Ruina was worried that her potion would fail, that it wouldn't achieve the intended effect.
That's why she tied the red string beforehand.
This way, if anyone saw the video, they would at least know that the Wailing One before them was not malicious, and might even possess a part of human consciousness.
It's just that her soul was sealed within this terrifying body.
Unable to express itself!
Er Pang also seemed to sense that the Wailing One opposite them had no ill intentions.
It wasn't baring its teeth, just staring at her curiously.
Zhang Chen opened the villa door and walked out with Er Pang.
Even if the person before him was just an ordinary Wailing One.
It wouldn't pose any threat to Zhang Chen.
What's more... if there truly was a threat, then with the iron plates and tempered glass of the villa.
They wouldn't be able to withstand a Wailing One's attack anyway.
Don't damage the villa any further...
I watched the video on your laptop, I know your name is Xu Ruina!
You followed me all the way from Jiangbei to here... do you have something to tell me?
Zhang Chen tried his best to make his voice gentle and slow.
So that she could understand.
Wuwuwu... wuwuwu...
Xu Ruina covered her face, her shoulders trembling incessantly.
As if she were truly weeping.
Is there any way to turn you back into a human... or to make you speak?
Zhang Chen continued to ask.
Wuwuwu... wuwuwu...
Xu Ruina slowly raised the index finger of her right hand...
It was evident that this action, which was extremely simple for an ordinary person.
For Xu Ruina, it almost took all her strength.
But...
Even so.
Zhang Chen still couldn't understand her meaning.
Raising her index finger?
The information conveyed was too little!
Was she indicating a direction?
Zhang Chen looked in the direction her finger might be pointing.
He didn't see any special buildings.
And even if there was something important in that direction...
Given the vast landmass and countless towns on Water Blue Star, finding that thing would be like searching for a needle in a haystack!
I don't quite understand, can you shake your head or nod?
Zhang Chen said as he turned his head.
To his surprise, Xu Ruina took two steps back and simply plummeted off the rooftop.
Zhang Chen quickly leaned out to check.
He saw that when Xu Ruina was halfway down, she suddenly lifted her leg and stomped on the floor.
Using her falling speed, she sprang sideways rapidly.
As if she could fly.
With the acceleration of her descent, she covered fifty meters in a single jump.
She fiercely swung her sharp claws.
In an instant, two zombies were sliced into several pieces, their scattered flesh spilling onto the ground.
Then, Xu Ruina sprinted away again, gradually disappearing from his sight...
A few minutes later, a unique high-pitched shriek of a Wailing One echoed from a distance!
Zombies were most active at night and their senses were more acute.
The zombies surrounding the building all seemed to hear a summons.
They crazily charged towards the direction of the scream.
Heh heh...
Uh... ah...
Awooo~~
Another noisy night.
Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly.
Xu Ruina couldn't control her body.
So she couldn't communicate with him at all.
And he certainly couldn't understand what she wanted to convey.
The only option now was to go to Xu Ruina's previous laboratory.
That was where Xu Ruina had first developed the prototype of the physical enhancement potion.
Perhaps she had prepared a reversal potion as well!
And to find out what the hope of humanity lying in stasis pod number seven was!
Zhang Chen called Er Pang back into the villa.
He slept soundly.
The next day, Zhang Chen and Er Pang began their journey towards the target city.
In the video where Xu Ruina instructed on stasis pod number seven during her evacuation, she specifically provided the address.
Shannan City, Baishu Street, the seventh underground floor of Shannan Central Hospital.
The entire Raven Laboratory was hidden beneath the hospital.
And Shannan City was only a few dozen kilometers away from the meteorite impact site.
After going to Shannan City, it would be convenient to head directly to the meteorite impact site.
Perhaps there would be new discoveries.
Zhang Chen remembered that Xu Ruina had mentioned the meteorite core in her video.
She said it was the key to the entire biological energy source.
Perhaps finding this object, and then finding a way to restore Xu Ruina's consciousness.
It might be possible to resolve the apocalypse!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's spirits soared!
He opened the mini-map and studied the route.
They were currently in Tianyang City, about 200 kilometers away from Shannan City.
If they took the highway, it would only take two to three hours if everything went smoothly.
Let's go!
For such a long journey, they would need to find a sturdy car.
Using the mecha wouldn't be feasible.
That thing was for high-intensity combat and rapid movement.
Flying 200 kilometers?
The fuel in the rocket thrusters probably wouldn't be enough.
Even if it was barely enough for 200 kilometers, Zhang Chen would be reluctant to use it.
No matter how strong his current power was, he hadn't reached the point of being able to fly.
The mecha was the only vehicle that could allow Zhang Chen to fly.
He had to cherish it.
The nearby zombies had all been lured away by Xu Ruina.
Zhang Chen had no choice but to walk two blocks.
Then he left Er Pang at the intersection.
With this guy around, luring monsters was too inconvenient.
No matter how much noise Zhang Chen made.
The zombies wouldn't even spare them a second glance.
As Zhang Chen moved further away from Er Pang.
The surrounding zombies became bolder.
Letting out strange cries, they rushed towards Zhang Chen, oblivious to their own demise.
But when they were about ten centimeters away from Zhang Chen, they were suddenly stopped.
It was as if an invisible energy wall was blocking them.
The faces of these zombies, covered in purple veins, and their mouths stained with dirty blood, writhed in front of Zhang Chen.
It was somewhat disgusting to look at.
However... he couldn't deal with them yet.
There were simply too few of them.
Zhang Chen took out his handgun and shot one of the zombies in the head.
Bang!
As this zombie dissolved into a mist.
More and more zombies rushed out from the surrounding buildings.
Awooo....
In an instant, Zhang Chen was completely surrounded!
