Chapter 102: Liar

The subsequent experimental process clearly sped up significantly. At this point, Jiang Xianchuan had lost the ability to communicate normally and could only rely on a few short words to convey his current feelings.

As time ticked by, Jiang Xianchuan’s condition worsened, and his appearance became increasingly similar to those mindless zombies that only knew how to attack wildly.

On the other hand, after receiving the antibiotic developed by Lin Pianyue, the little zombie miraculously gradually returned to being a human with normal thinking and mobility.

“Why is this… Why is it only ineffective on you?” Looking at Jiang Xianchuan, who was tightly bound by thick iron chains and occasionally let out low growls, Lin Pianyue felt extremely despairing and devastated.

To solve this problem, she had repeatedly improved the antibiotic countless times, but no matter how she tried, these drugs seemed to have no effect on Jiang Xianchuan, like a stone sinking into the sea.

In contrast, those ordinary zombies captured from the outside, after being injected with the same antibiotic, although they could not fully recover, would at least enter a state of semi-infection and slowly begin to regain some autonomous consciousness.

“Kill… me…” At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan squeezed out these few words with difficulty from between his teeth.

Hearing this, Lin Pianyue was stunned. She widened her eyes in disbelief and hurriedly leaned forward to ask, “Little brother, what did you just say?” Seeing that he did not respond, she brought her ear closer and finally heard Jiang Xianchuan say again, “Kill… me…”

At this moment, Lin Pianyue froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Asking her to kill Jiang Xianchuan with her own hands? This was simply a fantasy! She knew she could never do such a cruel thing.

Right now, the most urgent task before her was to go all out to continue in-depth research, striving to successfully develop an antidote that could save Jiang Xianchuan as soon as possible!

Not long after, Lin Pianyue hurried back to the laboratory, but the moment she opened the door, an ominous premonition surged into her heart—Jiang Xianchuan was gone! She widened her eyes, staring in disbelief at the empty room.

Her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, finally settling on a pool of blood on the ground that had not yet dried, still bright red and glaring.

Obviously, Jiang Xianchuan had escaped not long ago. The fact that Jiang Xianchuan had mutated had always been a secret, known only to himself and the little zombie, so it was almost impossible to ask others for help in finding Jiang Xianchuan.

Lin Pianyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She turned and walked quickly out of the laboratory, planning to find the little zombie first to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared not far ahead, blocking her path. On closer inspection, it was Li Lingyu.

Ever since Jiang Xianchuan said that resolute “Don’t see me again,” Li Lingyu had been living in a daze, as if he had lost his soul, and his body had become much thinner.

“What’s wrong? Sister Pianyue.” Li Lingyu asked weakly, a trace of confusion in his eyes. Seeing Li Lingyu like this, Lin Pianyue’s heart tightened, but time was short and she couldn’t think too much. “Little Chuan has escaped.” Before she finished speaking, Li Lingyu’s eyes widened suddenly, as if injected with a powerful force, and he instantly became energetic.

Lin Pianyue didn’t have time to explain more to Li Lingyu, and hurriedly brushed past him, continuing to run towards the little zombie.

Li Lingyu stood in place, frowning, his mind racing to think of where Jiang Xianchuan might have gone. After a moment, as if he had thought of something, he raised his leg and ran towards the door of the laboratory.

Arriving at the door, Li Lingyu stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment. Soon, he noticed the faint traces of blood on the ground.

Although these bloodstains were intermittent, he could still vaguely discern the direction they extended. So, Li Lingyu did not hesitate to follow the bloodstains all the way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Lingyu finally came to a steep cliff. Looking into the distance, he saw Jiang Xianchuan slowly approaching the edge of the cliff step by step.

“Chuanchuan!” Li Lingyu shouted anxiously, his voice full of urgency and worry. Jiang Xianchuan heard the familiar call and turned his head sharply, his eyes meeting Li Lingyu’s. However, when he tried to respond, he could only squeeze out a low and hoarse growl from his throat, as if bound by an invisible force.

At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan’s mind was like a raging storm, and countless thoughts of rushing up and tearing Li Lingyu apart surged like a tide.

He tried his best to resist this crazy impulse, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, trying to maintain a trace of clarity through the pain.

Because he clearly realized that he did not have much time to control his body and would soon be completely reduced to a mindless zombie who only knew how to kill.

Despite struggling desperately in his heart, Jiang Xianchuan’s footsteps did not stop. Instead, he accelerated towards the edge of the cliff, each step so heavy and difficult, as if carrying a thousand pounds of weight.

Seeing this, Li Lingyu turned around and ran over without hesitation, reaching out and grabbing Jiang Xianchuan’s arm tightly, shouting loudly, “Come back with me!” Jiang Xianchuan struggled desperately like a wild beast out of control, trying to get rid of Li Lingyu’s restraint. “Stop it! Come back with me!” Li Lingyu shouted again, his tone filled with pleading and urgency.

However, at this time, the desire to tear Li Lingyu apart in Jiang Xianchuan’s mind became even stronger, almost completely devouring his remaining sanity. But he still gritted his teeth, desperately suppressing this terrible impulse.

Finally, Jiang Xianchuan exhausted all his strength and kicked Li Lingyu hard. This kick was extremely powerful, directly knocking the unprepared Li Lingyu to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xianchuan struggled to break free from Li Lingyu’s hand and jumped without hesitation, leaping off the bottomless cliff.

Li Lingyu widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at Jiang Xianchuan’s figure gradually moving away, until it finally disappeared into the depths of the cliff.

In an instant, tears poured out like a flood that had burst its banks, instantly blurring his vision. His legs seemed to have lost the strength to support his body, and he involuntarily collapsed to the ground, his knees hitting the hard ground heavily, but he was completely unaware of the pain.

Li Lingyu knelt there in despair, his eyes empty and dull, staring at the empty cliff in front of him, his heart as if pierced by thousands of sharp blades at the same time, in so much pain that he could not breathe.

That deep sense of helplessness was like boundless darkness, tightly wrapping him, making him almost suffocate.

After a long time, Li Lingyu woke up as if from a dream, but he was like a lost soul, mechanically moving his feet, step by step, struggling towards the camp.

Along the way, his mind was blank, and he didn’t remember how he had walked this long journey.

When he finally dragged his heavy steps back to the camp, Lin Pianyue, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him, asking anxiously, “Did you find little Chuan?” Li Lingyu raised his head slightly, his eyes dim, his lips trembling as he said softly, “Yes, he… he jumped off the cliff.”

Hearing this, Lin Pianyue’s delicate body trembled, her expression froze instantly. She widened her eyes, as if wanting to confirm whether she had heard correctly, but seeing Li Lingyu’s grief-stricken expression, she knew that it was all true. Then, tears flowed uncontrollably from her beautiful eyes, one drop after another, wetting her clothes.

Li Lingyu silently returned to his room, then fell headlong onto the bed. At this moment, he felt extremely tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind would constantly flash back to those beautiful times he and Jiang Xianchuan had spent together, laughing together, playing together, sharing each other’s joys, sorrows, and happiness… Every scene was so clear, as if it had happened just yesterday.

“Liar… you promised to stay with me…” Li Lingyu murmured to himself, his voice filled with endless sadness and resentment.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Those memories surged into his heart wave after wave, causing him heartache.
