.

I walked up to a heavily guarded villa.

This is the residence of the researchers from the laboratory. They were captured at the beginning of the virus outbreak to develop a vaccine and are hailed as the hope of humanity.

A man hastily opened the villa gate and walked out.

Me: "Dr. Wang."

The man turned around, his expression startled. "You..."

I lowered my voice. "Yangyang sent me to find you."

Dr. Wang's expression gradually became dull and sluggish, and he spoke in a daze, "Is that so... Take me to him."

I led him into the car.

We drove out of the base and arrived in front of a supermarket.

The zombies became excited for a moment upon hearing the noise, but then, as if sensing something, they stopped stirring.

I turned off the car lights and looked at the passenger seat. "When the virus broke out, I happened to be coming to kill you."

His expression became fearful.

"Unfortunately, you were lucky enough to escape once."

"But your son was unlucky. He encountered me at the supermarket." I smiled. "His gaze was just like yours, disgusting."

I brought him out of the car and walked into the supermarket.

"Your son died there." I tilted my head and looked at the spot where there were still some bloodstains and bones on the ground.

Dr. Wang's throat let out a violent sob, and he fell to the ground as if unable to bear it.

"Humans are strange creatures," I admired his painful appearance. "They show endless love to their own children but are ruthless and cruel to others' children."

He shook his head in agony and managed to squeeze out a few words, "I... I was wrong... Zhang..."

"Dying due to your research results, you should be happy."

I bent down, meeting his eyes. "You won't be alone, Huai Zhang. They will also soon turn into monsters to accompany you."

In the cold and pale research institute, on the blood-stained dissecting table, a locked-up girl, tubes drawing out fresh blood, inhumane experiments repeated again and again.

All intertwined into a monster.

In a time more terrifying than death, she survived by nourishing herself with hatred.

Zombies flooded into the supermarket, roaring, getting closer to the man.

I heard his desperate screams.

-"Since they refuse to continue the experiments, let their daughter become the subject..."

I saw him being torn apart by the zombies.

-"She is a failed subject..."

I watched him wriggling bit by bit, trying to break free from the horrifying horde of corpses.

-"Subject No.1 confirmed for termination."

-"Warning, Subject No.1 has escaped. This subject possesses high aggression and high danger. If sighted, terminate immediately..."

The crazed zombies in front of me seemed to transform into lab personnel wearing white coats. The object pierced through was not Dr. Wang but me.

I couldn't control the trembling, taking two steps back.

A burst of white light suddenly flashed, shattering the zombies in front of me.

Lightning engulfed the zombies' lives, sparks devouring them, just like the electric current of laboratory instruments passing through the body, causing waves of pain.

Pale-faced, I looked and saw a tall figure appearing at the entrance of the supermarket.
