The stairway door upstairs finally gave way with a loud crash and something massive burst through it.Heavy footsteps echoed down the stairwell, slow and deliberate.Then a creature appeared. The creature stepped into the corridor, hunched and towering, its long arms almost scraping the floor.A chimpanzee. Their eyes widened. Or it used to be one. What was in front of them was quite different.Its body had mutated grotesquely. Muscles bulged beneath grey skin, it's veins were blackened and swollen. Patches of fur had fallen out, exposing infected flesh beneath. Its jaw was unnaturally wide, and rows of yellowed teeth glistened with saliva.One of its arms looked larger than the other, grotesquely swollen from mutation.And its eyes had a faint red glow. The creature sniffed the air slowly. Then it roared. The sound shook the corridor.Lila cracked her fingers as she slowly clenched them into fists.“Everyone move to my side,” she ordered. Her voice was calm, but firm. No one dare

Everyone slowly settled down. Some of the bodyguards dragged a few plastic chairs outside while others checked the surrounding area just to be safe. Gu Yu inspected the trucks to make sure they hadn’t taken serious damage during the escape. Once he was done, Lila returned the trucks to her house.She stood near the gas pumps, arms folded as she looked back in the direction of the city where they had come from.Her brows slowly furrowed.A chimpanzee.The more she thought about it, the stranger it felt.Research animals like that shouldn’t even be in a hospital building in the first place.And even if they were…Those kinds of experiments were usually conducted underground, in secure facilities or isolated labs. Not upper hospital floors where patients and staff moved around freely.So how did it end up there? Was it moved during the outbreak?Or had something already been happening inside that hospital before the apocalypse even began?Lila exhaled quietly.Too many strange things w

Lila's eyes wandered the room, before stopping on Mrs Shen.“Was it you?” Her jaw clenched.Adrian and Victor stood beside her, their gaze fixed on Mrs Shen, daring her to lie.Mrs Shen was scared out of her wits. Last night she had indeed thought of going through Lila's bag. But it was only to steal something to eat.Later on she just slept like that because she didn't dare to do it. She doesn't even know what Lila was looking for.She shook her head repeatedly “it wasn't me” seeing that nobody believed her, she added “it really wasn't me”“Really? Then who else could steal from me here?” “It—” Mrs Shen paused sitting on the floor dejectedly, as she realized that besides her and her son, there weren't any ‘outsiders’ here. Or…“It's her”she pointed at the nurse, who was just waking up “it's definitely her, I saw her acting sneaky last night”The nurse, Vivian, looked around confused. What did she do? Was she not supposed to eat so much food last night?Oh? Lila raised her brow, her

The plan was simple.Mimi would freeze time for a few minutes. Lila would knock Ethan out and check his scar. Once the weapon resonance was complete, then she would grow stronger and finally be able to bring out her house.Everyone would stay there until they've gained their abilities or are at least strong enough to go out on their own.Simple.“We’re doing it,” Lila said calmly.Mimi didn’t reply immediately, like she was gauging something.Then everything stopped.Victor froze mid-step, his brows still slightly furrowed. Adrian’s faint smile remained on his lips, but there was no life in it anymore. Lei stood with his mouth open, probably about to complain about something, now he was stuck like a statue.The air felt heavy. There was no wind. No sound. Nothing except the slight thud of Lila's shoes as she spun around.A faint ripple appeared in front of Lila, like the air was being pushed aside. Then Mimi stepped out.She had soft features, clear skin, and bright eyes that carried

“Dumb woman, stop staring. I know he's handsome but he isn't one of the men we found for you.”Lila rolled her eyes inwardly. But her gaze was still fixed on the figure outside.No matter how she looked at him…Why does he look like her past mistake?She remembered that back then when she met him in city M, he told her that he had been trapped in City M since the apocalypse began.So what was he doing here? Did he lie to her back then?Forget it. None of that matters now.Lila pushed open the car and walked out, ignoring Victor who was grinding his teeth beside her.She walked to the young man on the side. He is definitely the one. Lila almost hummed a tune. She didn't expect the heavens to send him to her like this.“Excuse me. Are you…Eric?” she asked with the sweetest smile.Seeing such a beautiful and clean looking lady calling him by his name, the young man's eyes brightened, but he still tried to put on a cool demeanor.“Yes I am” he nodded “do I know you?”Lila almost laughed
