Chapter 442

Xiang Yunduan forced a smile, “The taste isn’t anything special, it’s just for survival.”

The zombie emperor quietly sized them up, his gaze sweeping across each face.

“If I were human, I would definitely take this opportunity to escape, as far as possible. But why did you all come back?”

He walked up to Lin Qianhuan, reached out and pinched her chin, forcefully pulling her closer to him.

“You tell me, why come back.”

Lin Qianhuan’s eyes instantly filled with tears, she seemed frightened, her emotions slightly agitated.

Tears fell along the corners of her eyes, hitting the zombie emperor’s palm, inexplicably feeling particularly hot.

S5662 frowned suddenly, as if burned, and abruptly retracted his hand, taking a few steps back.

He looked down at the tear on his palm, then looked up at Lin Qianhuan, as if he had discovered something interesting.

“I… I can’t find anywhere else to go. The extreme cold is too cold, I…”

Lin Qianhuan imitated Lu Xiaoyan’s timid and cowardly appearance perfectly, looking as if she couldn’t handle the pressure, crying with rain-soaked pear blossoms.

S5662 frowned with some impatience, flicked the tear from his palm onto the ground, and clumsily helped Lin Qianhuan wipe away her tears.

“Don’t cry, I’m hungry. If you cry again, I’ll eat you.”

He hooked his lips with a slightly malicious look, the strength in his hand gradually increasing, leaving a few red marks on Lin Qianhuan’s cheek.

“Your taste is different than before. I remember the taste of all the humans in the base, but your taste has changed. But I like your current taste, it’s more fragrant and tempting than before. It makes me want to swallow you whole even more.”

S5662 tilted his head to look at Lin Qianhuan, the smile in the corner of his eyes growing stronger.

But hearing him say this, Lin Qianhuan subconsciously clenched her back teeth, but did not reveal any flaws.

Her disguise was indeed very good, completely able to deceive everyone.

But S5662 was a high-level zombie emperor, he possessed human consciousness and super high abilities.

To him, even the most minute changes were particularly abrupt.

The Lifelike Pill could hide Lin Qianhuan’s voice and body shape, but it couldn’t change the smell of her flesh.

But in S5662’s eyes, the smell of flesh on each human was different.

She didn’t expect that she would encounter problems as soon as she arrived. Lin Qianhuan clenched her fists tightly, her mind racing, thinking about how to deal with the zombie emperor’s next questioning.

But who would have thought that the hand pinching her chin suddenly released, and the owner of the hand also retracted his aggressive gaze.

He walked forward with leisurely steps, his palm resting on the thick door, and the door opened in response.

“Go in, Fei Boshi will be very happy that you are willing to come back.”

Xiang Yunduan and the others were all frightened by what had just happened, but fortunately Lin Qianhuan was not exposed. They sorted out their emotions and quickened their pace into the Rose Base.

Returning to this hell on earth once again, Xiang Yunduan and the others were stunned in place.

The Rose Base had changed greatly, the square was completely covered with snow, and only a few people wearing thin cotton clothes were outside clearing the snow with tools.

S5662 walked ahead to lead the way, he suddenly paused, silently standing in place.

After more than ten seconds, he turned his head to look at Xiang Yunduan: “You come with me, the others can go home.”

Hearing this sentence, everyone was stunned, wanting to say something, but also knowing that it was useless.

This was Fei Jingtao’s order, even the zombie emperor could only obey, and as a survivor in the base, Xiang Yunduan had even less power to refuse.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, giving Lin Qianhuan and the others a reassuring look, then turned around and followed S5662 away.

The others stood in place and watched Xiang Yunduan leave, then under Ruan Huacheng’s leadership, they returned to their original residence in the base.

It was a house of less than 100 square meters, where their 8 team members had spent almost all of their doomsday time.

The inside still maintained the way they had left it, although there was some dust, it was not too messy.

Although they were worried about Xiang Yunduan’s situation, they still had to stay here and observe the situation of the Rose Base for a period of time, so Lin Qianhuan and the others began to clean up the dirt in the house.

Just as they had finished cleaning up, the sound of knocking on the door suddenly rang out.

Zhang Yaru ran to open the door, and through the peephole, she saw Xiang Yunduan outside the door.

She opened the door without hesitation, her eyes full of joy: “Captain! You’re back! It’s good that you’re okay, I was so worried. Did the base leader do anything to you? Did he hurt you?”

Xiang Yunduan shook his head, walked to the sofa and sat down, his expression slightly solemn.

“Something happened.”

His words instantly silenced everyone present, their hearts beating faster and faster.

Lin Qianhuan hesitated for a moment before speaking: “What happened? What’s wrong?”

Xiang Yunduan opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say the words.

“Fei Jingtao said…”

He lowered his head in a bit of a collapse, hugged his head: “He said that experimental materials are scarce in the research institute, and asked me to choose one person from the team to send to the underground experimental base. At the same time, I also have to choose a female team member to participate in the Pomegranate Project.”

After Xiang Yunduan said these words, the room was unusually quiet, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

Everyone present knew very well what would happen after going to the research institute.

The Pomegranate Project was a breeding plan specifically for women.

The Salvation Society needed a constant supply of experimental materials, and those higher-level experimental subjects also needed fresh food.

Most of the women who were forced to participate in the Pomegranate Project would spend the rest of their lives in dark factories like livestock.

Zhang Yaru looked down at her toes, her attitude surprisingly calm.

“I really didn’t expect that we would be targeted as soon as we came back. But thinking about it, it’s right, after all, it’s extremely cold now, not to mention the shortage of food, the number of experimental subjects has also been greatly reduced. Our existence was from the very beginning meant to be guinea pigs for the Salvation Society. Sooner or later we will be selected, it’s just a matter of time.”

She sniffed hard and turned to look at Lin Qianhuan.

“Xiaoyan, if you want to deeply understand the current situation of the Rose Base, the best choice is to go to the underground laboratory. As for me, I just happen to participate in the Pomegranate Project. But before that, I want to ask you for one thing.”

Lin Qianhuan frowned slightly and looked up at Zhang Yaru: “Don’t draw conclusions for yourself so early. I won’t let you participate in the Pomegranate Project, I am more capable of protecting myself, I will go.”

Xiang Yunduan said: “No! Your life is far more important than ours. How about this, I will go to the underground research institute, and Yaru will participate in the Pomegranate Project. Xiaoyan, take this time to investigate the situation inside the base. As long as your speed is fast enough, the two of us should be rescued in time.”

Lin Qianhuan shook her head: “No! How can I watch you two jump into the fire pit!”
