Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Edited MTL by: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 287 - [Only] to find out that she hasn't come back since she went to Taipingmen (2)
After asking around, he found out from people working in Taipingmen that Zheng Mo had turned into a zombie.
It wasn't a secret in the base that Mr. Yin, who ran Taipingmen, would capture attractive people and infect them with the zombie virus and use them for entertainment.
Captain Zheng has thought of all kinds of ways, but he hadn't been able to enter Taipingmen. Recently, he heard that the rich businessman, Mr. Yin, was offering a bounty for people to go to his old home to get stuff, so he finally has a chance to enter Taipingmen.
His sister has been turned into a zombie, so all he could think of was to kill the responsible people for revenge.
Although he had left a way out, he still didn't expect that he could actually escape unscathed.
Moreover, Zheng Mo's condition was different from other zombies, which rekindled a little bit of hope in Captain Zheng's heart.
After they left the base far behind them and were in the middle of wilderness, Lu Xingchi asked Captain Zheng to stop his jeep and asked Bei Nuan to take out their jeep.
Captain Zheng had been driving eastwards, which was the opposite direction of where Lu Xingchi and the others wanted to go.
Lu Xingchi knew that Captain Zheng and the zombified Zheng Mo definitely couldn't follow them to the safe zone in the west. The safe zone wouldn't accept any zombies.
Captain Zheng said, "We're going to go east to find a remote place to stay. Who knows? We might be able to survive."
He turned his head to look at his sister. There was a bit of tenderness and a hopeful light in his eyes that used to only be cold and indifferent.
Zheng Mo stood obediently, not uttering a sound. Except for her bloodshot eyes and muzzle, she didn't look like a zombie at all.
Her eyes met Bei Nuan's, and she suddenly extended her gloved hand to her.
Bei Nuan tentatively extended her hand as well. Zheng Mo suddenly took a step forward and hugged Bei Nuan.
Bei Nuan had never been this close to a zombie before and instinctively felt wary.
Zheng Mo only hugged her gently.
Even though she couldn't speak, Bei Nuan knew that she was saying goodbye to her.
Bei Nuan quietly whispered in her ear, "Live a good life."
Bei Nuan felt Zheng Mo understood.
The two groups parted.
Lu Xingchi looked at Captain Zheng's distant jeep and remembered what the skinny man had said today.
When the skinny man came to persuade him to not go to Taipingmen, he said that in his last life, Captain Zheng didn't come back alive after killing people in Taipingmen.
In his past life, after Captain Zheng finished his killing spree in Taipingmen, it took him too long to find his sister, so it was too late to escape.
He was blocked inside, and more and more of the base's soldiers arrived. He was eventually outnumbered and captured alive after a bitter battle.
Instead of killing him, they infected him with the zombie virus as well.
After that, he and his sister were locked up together in Taipingmen, and people used them for their enjoyment.
The skinny man didn't know what happened after that.
A few years later, when the skinny man had already left the base, he heard that the zombies in this area mutated.
The zombie tide attacked bases everywhere and slaughtered humans. The leaders of the mutated zombies were a man and a woman. They were intelligent, bloodthirsty, and extremely cruel. The man was missing an eye and his right arm was gone, but people could recognize that he was Zheng Yin.
Lu Xingchi thought; Zheng Yin had found his sister and took her away from the base. He hoped that these siblings would have a different fate.
Lu Xingchi put his hand on Bei Nuan's head and rubbed her head. "Let's go. Get in the jeep."
Bei Nuan obediently climbed into the passenger seat and sat down.
Suddenly, she heard Little Three's voice in his head. "Bei Nuan, congratulations, the hidden Holy Mother task, Save the Blackened Zombie Monarch, is complete."
Bei Nuan: huh?
When did such a hidden task appear?
Bei Nuan opened the taskbar. There really was a new task. Save the Blackened Zombie Monarch (1 out 1 completed).
She saw her Holy Mother value rapidly increasing and froze for a moment.
"Why did this task pop up? How did it get completed? Who is the Blackened Zombie Monarch? Is it Little Mo?"
Little Three replied, "No comment."
Bei Nuan was silent, and she sincerely requested to Little Three, "Can I have more of these tasks that inexplicably and suddenly accomplish themselves?"
Bei Nuan suddenly remembered another thing and turned her head to Du Ruo. "Du Ruo, do you know that your knife is really a treasure?"
She recounted what happened at Taipingmen tonight, especially the incident where she used the knife to cut off Huo Ren's fingers when he was in his shadow state.
After Du Ruo heard it, he didn't find it strange at all. On the contrary, he was wondering why Bei Nuan was so surprised.
"When the ancient emperor had Xuan Yuan Sword made, the melted leftover material flowed down and into the shape of a knife. The knife's killing intent was so strong that it changed into a bird and flew away. Didn't I tell you that already?"
His tone was serious.
"Bei Nuan, your memory isn't good. When you have the opportunity, eat more fish oil. It's rich in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It's a good supplement for the brain."
Although her IQ was questioned, Bei Nuan didn't dare to mock his knife anymore. She took the Ming Hong Knife from her pocket space. She turned it over and over as she carefully examined it.
Although the shape of the knife was arrogant, the silver color of the blade was dark. It was as if it was covered in a layer of fog. Except for that short flash of cold light when she cut Huo Ren's fingers, the blade normally didn't look like it was made of metal.
But, it didn't really look like plastic either. It was lighter than metal, but heavier than plastic.
