Chapter 527: Chapter 148: It’s Raining_6

"Lin Fan, will my brother be okay?" Yang Lu looked at the building that was gradually becoming blurred, her heart filled with worry.

Lin Fan said, "Don’t worry, he will be fine. His choice is to guide the survivors who can make it there, to show them the way forward. Your brother’s actions are worthy of everyone’s admiration."

Yang Lu sighed in her heart. In fact, she would rather her brother not be such a person, especially as a family member; she always wanted them to live well and not take risks.

But she knew that was just the kind of person her brother was.

Even if she tried to advise him, it was still useless.

...

Night.

Desert Base.

Ji Qiuyue stayed in the sealed laboratory. Everyone already knew that Qiuyue had injected herself with the Lucky Cell, and her body had reactions. When people learned about this, all showed shocked and incredulous expressions.

They never expected such a thing to happen.

That behavior was really too reckless.

Only they didn’t know, on the path of scientific research, there always has to be someone who steps forward.

Now, Qiuyue continued her research, observing the changes in the Lucky Cells in her blood.

She was also recording various data on the computer.

As well as the changes in her body.

Suddenly.

Qiuyue felt a stickiness in her nose. Raising her hand to wipe it, her fingers came away with blood. As she wiped the blood on her fingers, her fingernail unexpectedly came off.

There was no pain, not even a slight sensation.

The detached fingernail was black.

She wasn’t panicked, but her eyes revealed a touch of nervousness.

Her body was quietly undergoing changes, changes so rapid as if a fierce beast was constantly ravaging her body’s functions.

[Twelve hours have passed since I injected the Lucky Cell, and my body has started to react; nosebleed, the painless detachment of a fingernail. The zombie virus could only fight the Lucky Cells for so long.]

[It is now 2:04 a.m. I will begin injecting the second dose of the zombie virus.]

Qiuyue took a deep breath and injected the second dose.

Leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed, her breathing became a bit rapid. Gradually, it seemed as if the Lucky Cells had stopped devouring the normal cells; her breathing became much smoother.

She continued to draw blood, observing the changes in the blood, and kept on recording.

[When I injected the second dose, the Lucky Cells did not immediately devour the zombie virus, as if they were hesitating; but in the end, they chose the zombie virus. I think the Lucky Cells have developed a resistance to the zombie virus and may not prioritize it first.]

After recording the situation at that time.

Qiuyue felt as if she might not have a future, took out her phone, opened the gallery, and looked at the family portrait of the three of them, involuntarily smiling.

During the peaceful times, she was always busy, neglecting her family.

With the outbreak of the apocalypse, after losing her loved ones.

She realized she had spent too little time with them.

Just then.

The screen displayed an image.

[Dragon Palace Base Requests a Video Call]

Connect.

"Grandpa Xia, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?" Ji Qiuyue asked with concern.

Professor Xia, visibly worried in the video, replied, "How could I possibly sleep? I saw the data you recorded. Grandpa Xia is really useless, I have no idea how to proceed."

Ji Qiuyue didn’t want to see Grandpa Xia upset and calmly said, "Grandpa Xia, don’t think too much about it. At least we have now proven that Lucky Cells can’t be transplanted into someone else’s body; they’re specific to the person who has them. No one else can possess them. Previously, you told me that Lucky Cells would devour and replace normal cells, and we were wondering if they could become a new type of cell. But now we’ve proven that they may cause irreversible damage to the human body."

Professor Xia didn’t answer; he didn’t want to talk about these things but knew that he couldn’t avoid the subject either.

He looked at Ji Qiuyue, who was always smiling in the video, and for a moment, he just felt incredibly pained.

"Grandpa Xia, you should get some rest. I’m going to bed too," said Ji Qiuyue, and before Professor Xia could respond, she waved her hand and ended the video call.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk to Grandpa Xia.

But at that moment,

She noticed a change in herself; the fingertips from which her nails had fallen off were growing new nails at an alarmingly rapid pace, and these were sharp, elongated nails, non-human looking.

She continued to make records, only this time she set them to publish on a timer.

[Just now, where my nails had fallen off, new ones have grown back extremely quickly, but these nails are inhuman. I think after injecting myself with the Lucky Cells, my body began to undergo terrible mutations. I will embed a tracker in my arm. If I survive, I’ll return, but if I become a terrible zombie monster, I hope to be captured and brought back for research.]

End of record.

She got up, embedded the tracker in her arm, and violently drew blood from it with a syringe, preserving it properly. Taking a few injectors filled with the zombie virus, she hurriedly left the laboratory.

At this time, the researchers were all resting.

Arriving at the entrance,

"Professor Ji, where are you going?" the guard asked curiously.

Qiuyue replied, "Just going out for a bit. Just keep an eye on things here."

"Professor, let me accompany you."

"No need."

The guard wanted to say something more, but saw Qiuyue drive off immediately. It was as if he suddenly realized something, he hurriedly picked up the radio and started talking rapidly into it.

Not long after,

All the research staff at the base were awakened.

On hearing that Professor Ji had left in the middle of the night, they were completely panicked. Some asked where Professor Ji had gone, others quickly tried to contact Professor Xia.

They had a bad feeling.

After all, Professor Ji had injected Lucky Cells, and if her body was showing signs of trouble, could it be that she knew her body might be developing in the direction of some sort of mutation?

Was she unwilling to stay at the base and instead wanted to find somewhere outside to live or die on her own?

Outside,

Qiuyue, driving, rolled down the windows and let in the cold breeze. Her expression was calm as she coughed softly and looked down to see blood in her palm.

"It’s happening faster than I imagined, truly a terrifying type of cell. For those who naturally possess these cells, they indeed bring luck, but for those injected with them, they truly are a disaster."

Boom!

A bright flash of lightning tore through the darkness, illuminating the road ahead.

"Is it starting to rain?"
