Chapter 100 Experiment

Time flies, and unconsciously, many days have passed. Now, Little Zombie not only possesses independent thinking abilities but can also communicate smoothly with people. However, unlike other zombies, Little Zombie surprisingly only likes to eat vegetables.

One afternoon, sunlight streamed through the windows into the room. Jiang Xianchuan leaned lazily on the sofa, curiously watching Little Zombie relish a salad, and couldn’t help but ask, “Little Zombie, why won’t you eat meat?” Little Zombie swallowed a mouthful of vegetables, raised his head, and replied earnestly, “Brother, I don’t know why, but every time I see meat, my stomach churns, and it’s really hard to swallow.” As he spoke, Jiang Xianchuan reached out and gently stroked Little Zombie’s skin, surprisingly finding that his body temperature was no different from a normal person.

“If you keep developing like this, I’ll start to suspect you’re really turning back into a human.” Jiang Xianchuan said jokingly. Hearing this, Little Zombie couldn’t help but smile, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, and replied, “Wouldn’t that be great? If I could really become human, I could live freely like you, brother.”

Just then, Jiang Xianchuan seemed to remember something and quickly asked, “By the way, how’s the research going on the stuff recorded in that notebook I gave you?” Little Zombie hesitated for a moment, a subtle hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but Jiang Xianchuan, lost in thought, didn’t notice this subtle change and continued to press, “Have you made any new discoveries?” Seeing Jiang Xianchuan’s urgency, Little Zombie quickly nodded and replied, “Yeah… there are still some things I don’t understand yet, but I’m getting close to a result. I’ll tell you as soon as I make progress, brother.” Getting Little Zombie’s affirmative answer, Jiang Xianchuan nodded in satisfaction and refocused his attention on the magazine in his hand.

Night quietly descended, and Lin Pianyue found Little Zombie. Her expression was grave as she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a ring of clearly visible teeth marks on her arm. The skin around the teeth marks remained intact, showing no signs of mutation.

“It’s not working, there’s still no sign of mutation. It seems that after this period of observation, you’ve lost the ability to infect others.” Lin Pianyue said helplessly, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

Little Zombie sighed heavily, frowning, “To develop an antidote, I have to get infected myself first, Sister Lin, what should we do?”

Lin Pianyue remained silent, lost in thought. After a while, she slowly raised her head and gently shook it, indicating that she couldn’t think of any good solutions for the time being.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the windows into the laboratory. Jiang Xianchuan, as usual, prepared to go to the laboratory to find Lin Pianyue and discuss some questions about the progress of the research. However, when he arrived at the laboratory, he was surprised to find that it was empty. The whole room seemed particularly quiet, with only the table filled with various experimental instruments standing there alone.

Just as Jiang Xianchuan was puzzled, he suddenly noticed a document on the table. The document seemed to have a mysterious attraction, prompting him to walk over and pick it up to read. As he read on, Jiang Xianchuan’s face became increasingly unsightly. It turned out that the document detailed how Lin Pianyue was planning to use herself as a human subject to study the antidote to the zombie virus!

Seeing this, a surge of anger welled up in Jiang Xianchuan’s heart. He couldn’t understand why Lin Pianyue would make such a risky decision, but at the same time, he was deeply worried about her and Little Zombie’s safety. Thus, despite being filled with conflicting emotions, Jiang Xianchuan finally decided to stay and wait for Lin Pianyue and Little Zombie to return, so that he could ask them face to face what exactly had happened.

When Lin Pianyue returned to the laboratory, she immediately saw Jiang Xianchuan sitting quietly on the wooden stool, his deep, bright eyes staring straight at the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

“You’re back?” Jiang Xianchuan’s lips curled into a slight smile as he asked softly.

“Yes, is there something you need, little brother?” Lin Pianyue replied, slowly approaching with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Jiang Xianchuan smiled slightly, picked up a document from the table, and gently waved it, saying, “Sister Pianyue, don’t you still treat me like an outsider? You’re keeping such important things from me?”

Hearing this, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Lin Pianyue’s face. She forced a smile and stammered, “No… no… I just…”

However, before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xianchuan interrupted, “Yes, you’re just using yourself to do those dangerous human experiments.” His tone was calm, but it contained an undisguised worry and dissatisfaction.

Sensing the change in Jiang Xianchuan’s emotions, Lin Pianyue’s heart tightened, and she quickly walked to his side, reached out and gently put her hand on his shoulder, and softly comforted him, “Don’t be angry, little brother! The reason I didn’t tell you is just that I was thinking of giving you a big surprise after the research is successful. Besides, the specific content of this experiment is indeed not convenient to reveal to you.”

After listening to Lin Pianyue’s explanation, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but sigh deeply. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “I understand your good intentions, and I know that some things may not be convenient to disclose. But honestly, I’m really worried about you. If that’s the case, then I hope to join your experiment so that I can help in some way.”

“But…” Lin Pianyue looked embarrassed, seeming hesitant and troubled. She gently bit her lip, a hint of unease and worry in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan said firmly, “If you don’t agree to this condition, then this crucial experiment will not be able to continue.” His eyes were locked on Lin Pianyue, as if waiting for her to make a final decision.

After struggling internally, Lin Pianyue finally took a deep breath and slowly nodded, “Okay.” Although she still had many worries in her heart, she knew that there was no other choice at this point.

“So what can I do now?” Jiang Xianchuan then asked.

Lin Pianyue thought for a moment and replied, “I’ve tried many times before to let Little Zombie bite me, but each time I was lucky enough not to be infected. So this time, I want to verify it again.” As she spoke, she unhesitatingly pulled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair arm.

Just then, Little Zombie hurried over. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, looking at Jiang Xianchuan in surprise and saying, “Brother, do we really have to do this? This is too dangerous!”

But Jiang Xianchuan just smiled slightly, then nodded affirmatively and said softly, “Yes, don’t worry too much. But you must not tell anyone about this, especially Li Lingyu. If he asks, tell him that I’m busy working in the laboratory and can’t go back for the time being.” After speaking, he turned to look at Lin Pianyue, indicating that she could begin.
