You were supposed to hoard supplies, why the heck did you hoard zombies!

"So at that time you guys were changing clothes?"

"Just happened to be seen by me…"

Zhang Ye looked at the woman, his face bitterly watching her still slightly flushed cheeks.

Ai Bing snuggled into his chest and nodded obediently.

It was all such a coincidence.

She had decided to try on these clothes and styles that she once scoffed at, all for his sake, but she had never expected that he would accidentally witness the process.

The chance to confess her feelings, which she had never managed to seize despite great effort, suddenly presented itself.

The woman thought of this and couldn't help but feel shy again.

"Fortunately, what you and Qing Qing said was the same."

"What?"

Zhang Ye didn't quite catch what she said and asked subconsciously.

Just as he was about to lower his head to look at her face, he felt a warm breath spouting into his ear, "Qing Qing said you're a big pervert."

Before the man could retort, Ai Bing had already pressed her body forward.

"It seems she wasn't wrong."

The sound of smacking lips intertwined with the sound of water once again filled the room.

A major battle was about to begin.

Afternoon.

The sunlight was just right.

Zhang Ye sat in the car, feeling an all-over soreness and a particular weakness in his waist, as if his marrow had been sucked out in waves of soreness.

"Women nearing thirty really are something else."

"Almost couldn't hold on."

His gaze towards the front was somewhat blurred as he murmured to himself.

The driving woman obviously heard what he said and shot him a stern look through the rearview mirror with her water-like eyes.

Ai Bing looked radiant, her skin rosy and her whole body exuding contented happiness.

The place they were heading to now was the medical center.

During the time Zhang Ye was away from the base, Doctor Zhao had handed over all the work previously assigned to him to his subordinates and immediately immersed himself in the research of zombies.

Nobody expected that in less than a week, he would make progress.

So someone was immediately dispatched to report to headquarters.

Upon hearing this news, Director Zhang, who had just been overworked, immediately dragged his tired body out of his villa once more.

Ai Bing, having just tasted the sweetness of passion, naturally would not leave him at such a time.

So she volunteered to be his driver.

The two of them went together.

By the time they finally arrived at the medical center, people had been waiting for them, but it wasn't Doctor Zhao, the person in charge, who was waiting, but the little nurse Chu Yan, who had always been assisting by his side.

Having been at the center for half a month, Chu Yan had come to understand quite a lot about the company's vast influence.

Her initial suspicions and wariness had all turned into deep awe.

Seeing Zhang Ye approach, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Director Zhang, you've arrived. Doctor Zhao is already waiting on the fourth floor, said to go up as soon as you arrived."

As she spoke, she didn't even dare to raise her head, a complete contrast to her sassy demeanor back at the hospital.

After all, the rumors suggested the man before her was someone who could kill without blinking an eye.

A true dictator.

But Zhang Ye wasn't paying attention to all of this.

He glanced at the little nurse who was respectfully standing before him and then strode into the medical center with Ai Bing.

The two guards at the door stood straight as soon as they saw the company's CEO coming.

"Director Zhang!"

"Good day, Director Zhang!"

The inside still looked much the same, except there were many more busy figures in white, and in the corner, chairs were occupied by quite a few survivors who had come for treatment.

Each of these people had a flushed complexion and a depressed look, all seeming to be running a high fever.

Some even leaned against the chairs, having fallen asleep.

They were all infected with influenza.

Addressing the recent widespread outbreak of influenza within the base was the first task entrusted to Doctor Zhao's medical center, but now this task had been completely handed over to the other doctors and nurses.

After asking a few questions about the recent treatment of influenza patients, Zhang Ye headed straight to the fourth floor following Chu Yan.

As soon as they got out of the stairs, they saw Doctor Zhao in front of a microscope, looking intently at something.

His focus was such that he didn't even notice someone had come up.

"Doctor Zhao?"

"Director Zhang is already here."

Seeing this, Chu Yan hurriedly shot Zhang Ye an apologetic look and quickly walked up to whisper a reminder next to the man.

Doctor Zhao, interrupted suddenly, immediately turned around with a displeased expression and said,

"Didn't I say not to disturb me unless it's necessary?"

As he spoke, his gaze had already shifted to Zhang Ye, who had approached, and his expression softened.

"Director Zhang?"

"When did you come over?"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Just got here. I had just returned from the north when I heard you were looking for me."

As he spoke, he turned his attention to the objects on the table.

They looked like some sort of slides.@@novelbin@@

"Did you discover anything?"

Doctor Zhao, who was about to chat about external affairs, heard this and immediately recalled the matter at hand, swiftly stepping away from the microscope to make room and said,

"Director Zhang, you've come at the right time, take a look at this."

"I've only recently discovered it."

Zhang Ye glanced at Ai Bing next to him, and seeing her serious expression, instantly understood something.

He leaned forward slightly and looked into the lens.

The view was illuminated.

He could see cells of various sizes and shapes crowded together, looking like they were tissue cut from some organism.

At the same time, something was moving inside these small and large circles.

Their slender shapes resembled that of tiny worms.

That's not right.

Where did these worms come from?

Zhang Ye involuntarily furrowed his brow.

Under the lens, the white worms moved back and forth like fish in water.

Yet they disappeared the moment they touched the cells.

No, not disappeared!

They went inside!

The worms that burrowed in quickly moved toward the spiral-shaped objects in the center of the cells, and soon all dove headfirst into these spirochetes.

A strange and eerie event quickly unfolded before Zhang Ye's eyes.

The nearly motionless cells suddenly began to tremble violently.

They then started to divide.

At the same time, the spiral-shaped objects were already covered with branch-like structures, and as the branches trembled, countless little worms fell off and swam around.

"Director Zhang."

"Do you see it?"

Immersed in shock, Zhang Ye subconsciously said, "See what?"

"The worms."

"Those worms that are even smaller than the cells."

Doctor Zhao looked at him intently, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Zhang Ye looked back at him.

His expression had become incredibly serious.

"What exactly are those things? I don't believe that there are such small worms in this world."

"Could they be some kind of bacteria or fungi?"

"Or perhaps other microorganisms?"

Ai Bing, who was next to them and had been listening to their conversation, couldn't contain her curiosity and leaned forward to take a few glances.

But after a moment, she suddenly stood up, her face filled with horror.

She had clearly seen it as well.

Were they really worms?

"Whether they are worms or not is not important to this issue,"

Doctor Zhao shook his head and said.

His gaze had already returned to the slides on the table.

"What's important is that this is definitely not the virus the government is talking about."

"This is something alive."
