(Lirean Province- Capitol City)
(Outer Region- St. Cheng's Highway)
The main bridge that led out of the province was now completely controlled by the military who used it to set up a base.
Soldiers could be seen patrolling around the perimeter holding heavy assault rifles in their hands.
A few snipers could be seen patiently lying down on the top of cars and constantly scanning the surrounding area for any threats.
Barricades had been set up along key points across the bridge and now it was more akin to a makeshift fortress under the leadership of General Sun.
This was the sight that Eve saw as she hid in the shadows and watched the bridge with a cold expression on her face.
Those uniforms… she recognised them… they belonged to the bad men… the ones who protected the monsters that hurt her…
Eve's pointed fingernails extended outwards to become black claws as her facial features became more feral.
A face flashed across the zombie empress' mind and her bloodlust instantly receded.
Eve leaned against a nearby wall and placed her head in her hands before letting out a heavy sigh.
What was she doing?
Picking petty fights with random soldiers?
All because she was too afraid to track down the scent of her favourite human…
Eve continued to sigh as she stared aimlessly in a certain direction. She missed Qin Lan… she missed her smile… she missed her warmth…
She didn't know how she knew exactly where Qin Lan was but there was no doubt in her mind that she was currently in the neighbouring province a few dozen kilometers away.
But whenever she got the overwhelming urge to visit her favourite human….
Qin Lan's horrified face would resurface in her mind.
What did she expect?
Eve knew that Qin Lan would react badly once she killed the human that smelled like her, but he was a threat…
The zombie empress refused to let anyone threaten her favourite human… no matter who it was…
Bang!
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Eve jumped to the side just as a bullet narrowly brushed against her cheek and left a thin trail of black blood.
A squad of soldiers appeared from the entrance of the alleyway and their leader was an incredibly handsome man in his late twenties.
His muscular body was covered in light scars and his face had sharp angular features that resembled a Greek god.
There was a rough masculine aura surrounding his body that would cause most women to swoon in admiration.
He raised a cigarette to his lips and inhaled deeply before blowing out a small puff of smoke that hung in the air.
He tossed the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out using his black combat boots.
"Looks like we found a mutated one…" Wu Jing hoarsely growled as he gestured towards his men.
Each soldier raised up their rifles and pointed them at Eve whose pitch-black eyes gleamed with an inhuman emotion.
"Shoot her down… I want her core…" Wu Jing ordered coldly as he held out his right palm.
Tiny sparks of electricity danced along his fingertips.
None of the men in his squad seemed to be surprised by his supernatural display and instead proud looks flashed across their faces.
They were confident that their strong leader would be able to beat the mutated zombie as he had done countless times before.
Their confidence lasted for a grand total of five seconds…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets flew towards Eve's direction, but the zombie began to giggle. Her hoarse laughter echoed through the alley and sent shivers down the soldiers' spines.
Eve's figure blurred and then vanished from the spot.
Not even Wu Jing had any time to react before she grabbed a random soldier and crushed his head like a watermelon.
Splat!
Blood and chunks of meat exploded and landed on the faces of the horrified soldiers who could not believe what had just happened.
Eve smiled dangerously as all of her rage and frustration finally had an outlet to let loose.
She punched out casually and her fist tore open a hole in the body of the soldier to her right.
The zombie empress snarled like a caged animal as she tore through the bodies one by one in gruesome ways.
"Brother Jing…" a dying soldier called out tearfully as Eve's fingers penetrated his lower back and tore his spine into two pieces.
The handsome man's cold expressions finally cracked, and he unconsciously stepped back as Eve's gaze finally turned towards his direction.
All the other soldiers were dead.
He was the one who gave the order… he should be the one to watch all his men die due to his decision…
"Stay… stay back!" Wu Jing shouted in rage as he held out his right palm and a deadly arc of electricity slammed in Eve's body.
The zombie empress paused for a moment and a sweet smile spread across her skeleton-like face.
"Is… is that all?" Eve hoarsely growled as she approached the trembling man.
Wu Jing could not believe that his lightning ability that was able to completely disintegrate zombies was now completely useless.
No… this had to be some kind of bad dream… this mutated zombie…
How was she so strong?
"What trick are you doing?!" Wu Jing roared in frustration as he glanced at the bodies of his dead companions.
He raised up both hands and heavy arcs of electricity erupted from his fingertips and slammed into Eve's body.
It would be a lie to say that the zombie empress was unaffected, but her regenerative ability was able to heal all of the damage that Wu Jing was able to inflict.
A terrifying grin began to spread from the corners of Eve's lips as she slowly approached the handsome man.
She raised up her claws and prepared to tear out his throat when the ground beneath the man's feet suddenly trembled.
"Wait… wha…" Wu Jing's voice was cut off as a portal opened up below his feet and he vanished inside without a trace.
Eve rushed over but discovered that the portal had now disappeared. She recognised that ability…
It belonged to the creature who called himself 'Subject 001'.
A look of frustration flashed across Eve's face since she didn't appreciate her prey escaping from her grasp.
If she knew that Subject 001 was watching the fight then she would have killed the human leader first and then rushed for his subordinates.
Eve glanced down and saw the mangled body parts and lumps of flesh that lay scattered across the ground.
She only looked for a moment and then turned away.
She had no interest in eating human flesh and as the zombie empress she had no need for nutrition in the first place.
Whatever those scientists had done to her… had some benefits…
Eve walked away just as a few soldiers from patrol rushed over since they had heard the gunshots from the distance.
"No… I… arghh…" one of the soldiers threw up as he saw the horrifying sight.
The way that the corpses on the ground had died… was enough to make anyone feel sick.
However, the worst part of the situation were the uniforms on the men's bodies.
Every single corpse on the ground belonged to an officer with a rank of lieutenant or higher… these were elites in the army and yet…
This was their fate.
The patrol leader knelt down and investigated the bodies to try to figure out what exactly had happened to this team of well-trained elites.
