Chapter 129

Recalling Jiang Xing’s merciless demeanor in the laboratory, Yi Hao found it laughable.

“Did you really think you could hide your true nature?

The claws and fangs you’re concealing will eventually be exposed.

Will you still have the chance to pretend to be normal in front of her then?

Just because you mingle with ordinary people, do you really think you’re one of them?

What a joke.”

He wearily closed his eyes. The man pushing his wheelchair behind him seemed to sense his mood, stiffly stepping forward and pushing the wheelchair towards Silver Bay Gardens.

This was the only place in the eastern suburbs they could find shelter; they could only make do here for one night.

Villa number 36HUAN.

Lin Qianhuan changed into comfortable pajamas, wrapped in a thin blanket, and sat on the sofa reading a book.

The doors and windows of the villa were tightly closed. The clatter of a spatula came from the kitchen, and a rich aroma filled the air, making mouths water.

Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Eggplant and Minced Meat Casserole, Sichuan Peppercorn Chicken, Pan-Fried Crispy Tofu, Cumin Potato Slices.

Lin Qianhuan restrained herself again and again, but finally threw down her book, slipped on her slippers, and ran to the kitchen.

“Why is the meal so lavish tonight!

There’s even corn and oatmeal porridge, it smells amazing!”

She eagerly grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib and stuffed it into her mouth, happily shaking her head.

Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng were both busy in the kitchen. Seeing her happy, faint smiles appeared on their faces.

“Seeing you’ve been busy for so long, you need to eat something good to replenish your energy.

Now that the rain has subsided, I estimate that survivors will be going out to scavenge for supplies soon.

Don’t go running around. Stay home and rest for a while to recover.”

Lin Yixuan carried a freshly cooked dish to the dining table, but saw Lin Qianhuan looking hesitant.

He frowned slightly, “What is it? Don’t tell me you have something else to do?”

She chuckled, twirling the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and stammered, “I want to go to Xiangze City.”

Seeing Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng stop what they were doing, Lin Qianhuan quickly spoke again.

“Let’s all go as a family this time.

He Lu and Number 8 are going too, let’s just treat it as a vacation, okay?”

She pulled out a travel brochure and spread it out in front of Lin Yixuan, her expression a little guilty.

“Xiangze City is a coastal city. I’ve never seen the sea before, so it’s perfect for my older brothers to accompany me.”

She blinked her big eyes, with a hint of coquetry.

Lin Wansheng, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen holding a spatula.

“You know Xiangze City is by the sea, even though it’s in the same province as Yuncheng, one’s in the far east and the other in the far west.

Do you know how many dangers lurk in between such a long distance?”

Lin Qianhuan nodded obediently, “I know, but even knowing that, I still want to go.”

Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng exchanged a look, both seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Putting Lin Qianhuan’s favorite sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her, Lin Wansheng pulled up a chair and sat down.

“You don’t need to lie to your older brothers. We’re not stupid enough to believe the vacation excuse.

Tell me, what exactly do you want to find in Xiangze City?”

Lin Qianhuan picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib in her bowl.

She poked at the glistening meat on the rib, unsure of where to start.

Seeing her hesitation, Lin Yixuan raised his hand and gently patted the back of her head.

“There’s nothing you need to hide from your second older brother and me.

You don’t have to worry that what you want to do will have any impact on us.

As long as you want it, we will support you unconditionally.”

Lin Qianhuan suddenly felt a twinge of emotion. She took a bite of the sweet and sour pork rib that she had almost poked to pieces, paused for a moment, and then finally spoke.

“You should be able to sense that Jiang Xing, He Lu, and Number 8 are different from ordinary people, right?”

Lin Yixuan nodded gently, “Yes, but you haven’t mentioned it, so we didn’t ask.”

“They came from a sanatorium on the outskirts of Yuncheng.

But they weren’t patients, they were experimental subjects used to develop the zombie virus.”

Lin Qianhuan put down her chopsticks, her voice slightly tired, “I’ve actually noticed from the beginning that the cities where the red rain fell all have one thing in common.

That is, they are economically developed, densely populated first and second-tier cities.

That’s why the zombie virus spread so quickly, sweeping across China almost overnight.

So I suspect that this apocalypse is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.”

Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng both saw shock in each other’s eyes, but didn’t interrupt Lin Qianhuan, just listening quietly.

“These underground laboratories like the one Jiang Xing was in exist in many cities.

Yuncheng, Wei City, Qingcheng, and Xiangze City all have them.

This time, I’m going to Xiangze City because I made a deal with an experimental subject named Yi Hao.

We’re joining forces to find a reagent that can enhance Superpower levels.

If we succeed, our family’s strength will definitely increase significantly, and we’ll be more confident in dealing with even more dangerous situations in the future.”

She paused, then continued, “Besides that, I also want to explore the laboratory in Xiangze City.

I’ll try to find some experimental materials and data that haven’t been destroyed yet.”

Lin Yixuan sat beside her, listening carefully, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

“You want to find out the truth behind this worldwide apocalypse?

Qianhuan, you know without me having to say it, that the forces behind developing the zombie virus and even spreading it around the world must be unfathomable.

We’re just ordinary people. The more you know, the more dangerous your situation becomes.

Aren’t you afraid?”

Lin Qianhuan curled her lips and shook her head slightly.

“I’m not afraid.

I’m tired of struggling to survive among the hordes of corpses, and I’m tired of having to live in fear every day.

Brother, you know, the zombie virus has harmed me twice.

This time, I don’t want to die as a confused ghost.

Even if I’m covered in injuries and fall into the abyss, I want to find the mastermind and tear them to pieces.”

Saying this, Lin Qianhuan sighed slightly.

“But I really don’t want to drag you and your second older brother into this.

But if I think about it carefully, you are my own older brothers. If I’m really targeted by someone, you two will definitely not be able to escape.

It’s better to tell you everything I know, so we can discuss and search for clues together in the future.”

Because Jiang Xing and the others were there, Lin Qianhuan couldn’t mention her rebirth, but how could Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng not know?

The silence in the dining room was broken after a moment by the sound of voices.

“Your second older brother and I will support all your choices.

We’ll find the truth you want together.

We can also help you kill the people you want to kill.

Qianhuan, I know that your second older brother and I are far less powerful than you and Jiang Xing.

But the two of us will always be the strongest shields in front of you, never betraying, never retreating.”

Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng looked serious, their eyebrows full of determination.

Their sister is right in everything she does.
