Chapter 244 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (34)
Remembering that day, she was in a pitiful state, sitting amidst the rubble, her small head buried in her arms. She looked so tiny, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
The aura around her made all the low-level zombies avoid her, and it was because of this aura that he was able to find her.
Indeed, he originally intended to use her as experimental material, until she suddenly looked up in panic and staggered to run away. She was both cute and pitiful. When he saw those large, dark red eyes, filled with confusion, he couldn’t help but feel a certain mischievous pleasure in his heart.
It was like how a boy, when encountering a girl he likes, would prefer to bully her, hoping to make himself stand out in her mind. It’s the same logic.
To be honest, if he had known back then that the person he brought back was a little treasure—someone he had to pamper and take care of—he would have certainly been much more careful and gentle with her.
But back then, he didn’t know.
Yan Che helplessly watched as she counted up all the things he had done to her, his lips curled into a smile, but he didn’t speak.
After listing her grievances, the little girl herself couldn’t even keep track of all of them. She looked up at Yan Che, who had remained silent this whole time, her confusion written on her face.
Ahead, a group of zombies appeared. At this moment, Yan Che was fully focused on the road ahead, so she was unsure of how much of her complaining had actually registered in his mind.
The little girl lowered her head again, no longer interested in the crystal core in her hand. She played with it for a while before switching hands. “Anyway, once you’re done with your experiment, we’ll go our separate ways…”
Before she could finish, the car screeched to a halt. The sudden jerk caused Yan Luo to lurch forward unprepared, and the crystal core she was holding slipped from her hand, falling under the car. She looked up at Yan Che in confusion, her face full of bewilderment.
Yan Che pressed the brake pedal all the way to the floor, his expression unchanged, as though it wasn’t him causing all this commotion.
The loud noise attracted the surrounding zombies, who began moving in their direction. Someone in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s team shouted a few times, signaling them to move quickly. They fired a few shots as a warning, but Yan Che paid no attention to them.
As more and more zombies surrounded them, Yan Che’s car had already been some distance away from Cheng Xiaoxiao’s team. Now, seeing that Yan Che was still not moving, and with the zombies closing in, the team could feel the pressure from the Level 3 or 4 zombies nearby. Though they weren’t sure why such a zombie group appeared on the return route, Cheng Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and looked toward Yan Che, who remained still.
After all, they were strangers, and it was hard to predict their intentions, especially since they had stopped the car on their own. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel that they were heartless. She waved her hand and ordered, “Retreat, we’ll break out while the zombies haven’t fully surrounded us yet.”
“Captain, what about that couple?”
“Can’t you see the zombies have already surrounded them?” someone beside her smacked the person who spoke, their face stern. “We’ve done everything we can. If we wait any longer, we’ll all be stuck here.”
“Move!” Cheng Xiaoxiao ordered.
That person glanced once more at the military vehicle, now partially blocked by the zombies, but in the end, they couldn’t bear to look any longer and turned their eyes away.
