Chapter 213: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 5

Shen Yi glanced at the person in the backseat through the rearview mirror, a corner of his mouth twitching. She really was at ease, not afraid that he would abandon her in the wilderness to become zombie chow.

Su Tang's sleep hadn't been comfortable, but in their current situation, she couldn't afford to be picky. Looking at the pale dawn, she rubbed her eyes, forcing herself awake. "Mr. Shen, where are we going?"

Shen Yi didn't even lift his eyelids. "Looking for someone." He wouldn't let a single one of those who had harmed him go.

Su Tang suppressed her doubts. "You have friends out here?" She asked this because, back at the research institute, she had brought all those who had wronged him to the lab for him to deal with. Of course, some had slipped through the net.

Back then, to test Shen Yi's reaction speed, they had repeatedly thrown him into hordes of zombies, including several mutants. Mutants were the failed products of Awakened experiments, some possessing significant destructive power, but their intelligence was basically zero. Initially, some people wanted to tame them, but how could one tame something without intelligence?

"Speaking of which, a few of your friends were sent to the research institute." Su Tang mentioned casually, while observing his expression. "Do you remember Guan Fei, Wei Rurong, and there was another one named Zhuo… something?"

Shen Yi: "Zhuo Yu."

Su Tang: "Right."

Shen Yi finally showed some expression, but it was even colder than before. "What happened to them?"

Su Tang: "When experimental subjects arrived, they were first brought to me for review. Their files mentioned their relationship with you." At the time, Lin Yang, as the institute's highest executive, had the authority to have people find Awakened for her, and could even name them directly. However, she had no interest in other subjects back then, focusing all her attention on Shen Yi. In the end, she casually assigned them to other researchers.

As if reminiscing, she spoke slowly under Shen Yi's sharp gaze. "One zombified, one became a mutant, and another didn't survive the experiment. Oh right, the one who mutated was injected with lizard genes. You even fought him."

Shen Yi certainly remembered. He remembered every single thing from his two years at the research institute. The lizard Awakened was powerful; he had even been slightly injured during their fight, but in the end, it was the Awakened who died. If Su Tang hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have recognized that inhuman, monstrous creature as someone he knew.

"Do you know why your designation was Number One?" Su Tang grabbed a bottle of water from the back seat, took a sip to moisten her throat, and continued, "It wasn't because I was in charge of you, but because you were stronger than other experimental subjects. Your willpower was astonishing, your ability unique. So, at the time, everyone else at the institute wanted to find another one like you. That's why they investigated those around you. Now, those 'friends' you mentioned are likely almost all dead."

Shen Yi slammed on the brakes. "Why are you telling me all this?"

After a night's rest, Su Tang seemed even more tired. She drank some water and leaned back against the seat. "I want you to find me something to eat." Perhaps because she was dependent on him, she showed a rare gentle expression. "Mr. Shen, if you please."

Shen Yi looked at her, seemingly assessing the sincerity of her words. Finding food wasn't difficult, but he was afraid that once he left, she would drive away.

Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Su Tang could only sigh and explain, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. With my constitution, going out is just offering myself up to the zombies."

Shen Yi: "You're coming with me."

Su Tang's face was full of refusal. After a whole night of turmoil and only a few bites of instant noodles, her stomach was already rebelling. "I'll be a burden." But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw his eyes turn cold.

Shen Yi: "I'll carry you."

Su Tang: "…"

The research institute was built at the foot of a mountain. In the current state of the world, edible resources had long been plundered. So, although Shen Yi agreed to find her food, two hours passed, and Su Tang silently took out a stomach pill and swallowed it with mineral water.

She was extremely grateful that there was a case of water in the SUV they had commandeered last night.

After another hour, a city finally came into view. Of course, calling it a city was more like calling it a zombie city. How lively the cities used to be, now the zombies were just as dense.

However, it was daytime, and there were obviously fewer zombies than at night.

They finally found a supermarket. Although the things inside were scattered everywhere, there might still be some food left.

Shen Yi wouldn't attract the zombies' attention now, after all, he was one of them. But Su Tang wasn't. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a wave of zombies.

Since the outbreak of the zombie tide, Su Tang had stayed at the research institute. Even though she had seen zombies and mutants, they had been contained and posed no threat to her. But now, the group of bloody, flesh-torn zombies lunged at her, their bloody mouths wide open, the stench of decay and rot assaulting her senses, causing her to instinctively step back.

Shen Yi glanced at the woman beside him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Dr. Lin can't handle this?"

Su Tang didn't reply; she was afraid she would vomit if she opened her mouth.

However, with Shen Yi around, Su Tang felt reassured. Sure enough, he quickly eliminated the dozen or so zombies.

The supermarket was covered in dust. More than half of the items on the shelves were gone, and the rest had fallen to the floor, trampled beyond use.

Shen Yi casually picked up some remaining food, but the next second, he heard the fussy woman say, "Mr. Shen, could you check the expiration date? If it's expired, I'll die if I eat it." Wouldn't she just? Lin Yang's stomach needed careful attention. Eating the wrong thing would lead to agonizing stomach aches.

Ordinary food usually had a shelf life of less than a year. Finally, Shen Yi managed to find two dust-covered packages of compressed biscuits in a corner. Turning around, he saw that the woman had disappeared. His brow twitched, and he angrily stuffed the biscuits into his pocket and walked out.

Then, he saw her frozen in place, not daring to move.

Shen Yi walked over and saw several zombies slowly shuffling in the distant shadows. Although they were some distance away, if they made any more noise, the zombies would swarm them.

In Su Tang's current state, she couldn't run fast or fight, so she could only freeze and wait for Shen Yi.

"What else do you want?" Shen Yi asked in a low voice.

Su Tang glanced at the clothing section not far away. Compared to the scarcity of food, clothes didn't have an expiration date. She had left in a hurry and only had this one outfit.

Of course, Shen Yi was the same, only wearing a camouflage uniform.

"You go back to the car first. I'll get some clothes."

Su Tang nodded, but as she tiptoed to the supermarket entrance, she caught sight of a zombie charging towards her at lightning speed.

Holy crap, this had to be at least a Level Three zombie!
