Come on. We have to make it there before noon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting out of the sleeping bag, she quickly handed him his clothes before bringing him to the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to create corn syrup, red food coloring, cocoa powder, and a bucket.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyu quickly handed over the items as the two of them began heading downstairs to the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you create a box that can fit in your SUV?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the trunk, Xiaoyun quickly created a box that matched perfectly inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. Now I need you to get inside. I'll start painting your wound and your dead pose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting inside the box, he could see Kate mixing the ingredients he had made inside the bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Close your eyes and start practicing being dead. Hold your breath and reduce your heartbeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everything turned dark for Xiaoyun, he could feel a layer of liquid being applied to his neck, along with a weak metallic smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate this plan... You sure this is going to work?\" Xiaoyun questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the one who brought me here when I gave up. You aren't going to quit halfway now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After laying in the box for who knows how long, she finally finished applying the liquid to various parts of his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now we're almost done... I'm going to move your position to make it more natural, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel his arm and leg being put in a slightly uncomfortable position as they stacked against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm heading back to the front to drive the car... Don't move until you hear me say cat, cat, cat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the car came to a stop, Kate was stopped by several guards standing behind an iron fence. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were carrying a Type 95, yet none of them looked like soldiers at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear they were foreign mercenaries, considering their skin color was drastically different from the locals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop right there. This is an off-limit zone.\" The senior mercenary with a full beard warned as he raised his rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm here to deliver body samples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a young mercenary headed back inside, two of them opened the iron fence gate before they followed Kate to the back of the trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's the body sample?\" The senior mercenary asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a press of a button, the car trunk opened, revealing a wooden box that had a strong metallic smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of them immediately wanted to leave, but the look from their seniors made them stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open it.\" The senior mercenary ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate opened the box crate, it revealed a motionless body lying on the side with a dried blood wound on its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of body sample is this... Is it dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's dead. But it could have been a human sample or a zombie sample. I'm not sure exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Kate mentioned the word zombie, several of the mercenaries took a small step back. Even the senior mercenary changed his mind, opting to leave it alone rather than having a closer examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss! The worker told me to bring them in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice yelled down the hall as the young mercenary finally emerged from inside the large building behind another layer of the fence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You four, go help her carry the wooden crate inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As four of the mercenaries carefully lifted the crate from the car, the senior mercenaries suddenly went to the front of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going inside, Kate's heart started racing until she saw him coming out with the car keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be taking care of this. You can come and get it when you finish turning in the sample.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kate followed the young mercenary guard towards the second layer of iron fences, she could feel an increased level of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of the blind spots were way too normal, seemingly to be hiding cameras and underground fort tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't your first time coming here, is it?\" The young mercenary asked as he turned over a bit to look at Kate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last time I came here was before the outbreak,\" Kate responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a long time ago... Even earlier than when I came here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for almost a minute, they finally passed all of the security and entered the building properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at the open front door was a middle-aged man in a lab coat with an ID tag attached to his chest pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to him were two younger-looking students wearing the same lab coat with only a tag on their chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back, Katherine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Doctor Tian. I brought the sample that you guys had been looking for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect... Let's put that aside for now. You two, go help the guard bring the sample to the lab.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two students directed the four mercenaries to the right hallway, Kate followed Doctor Tian to the left hallway instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm surprised you actually went through with your promise. I thought you were going to abandon them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When can I see my family again?\" Kate asked, her face unable to hide the impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. Your family is still doing well... I'll bring you to see them tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When are you going to let them go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor Tian finally stopped as he turned around to look at Kate, staring her right in the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I ever promise that I was going to let them go? You think too highly of yourself sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Kate could say anything, she suddenly felt a sharp needle piercing through her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have eyes, Kate. We know what you're trying to do with that husband of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Doctor Tian's voice trailed off, everything faded to black as Kate lost control of her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, over to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is happening? Why are they going to a different place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun could tell he was being separated away from Kate, considering what the doctor had said before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box continued to be carried forward, but he could feel the outside was starting to move slower and slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn, why is it so heavy inside?\" A voice complained from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know. Let's just get this done and have a nice dinner later, \" A second voice answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the speed picked back up, Xiaoyun started creating a rifle in hand as he prepared for the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't carry this anymore. My arm is going to break before I can reach there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box finally crashed down, and his body flew up into the air before hitting the bottom of the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One-minute break. The professor said we need this box in the lab as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A younger voice appeared in the conversation, similar to the person who said 'yes, professor' earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you had just given us a roller cart, it would have been so much easier than having us carrying this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we give you a roller cart, why do we hire you for——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the first young voice could finish talking, the older voice immediately interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think you're talking to? Say that one more time and——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. Justin stops being a whiny little bitch. Just suck it up. Our contract is almost done anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As two older voices shifted into speaking English, the heated argument eventually died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After counting exactly a minute, Xiaoyun could feel the box being lifted into the air again before being moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much longer do we have to carry this box?\" The older voice asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just around this corner, and we'll be there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another minute, the box finally stopped again as his body flew up again before crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you guys mind opening the door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys can just leave the box here. We can carry it inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As footsteps began to walk off into the distance, Xiaoyun could hear a sliding sound as if a door was being opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, however, he could hear a roller coming in as the box tilted to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, we probably should have asked them to carry the box onto the roller first.\" The younger voice murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do we do now?\" The other younger voice questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just carry the body into the lab. It's a dead body inside anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the professor said we can't open it no matter what... Let's just go call the guards back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the second voice quietly whispered to the other person, Xiaoyun's sharp ear still caught onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, his brain realized something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan with Kate had clearly been leaked at some point. At least to whoever the 'professor' was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hands up!\u003C\u002Fp>",1512,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","dee823bf9740e6b6e341aed9924ae26daaf76ae708285e09cd113f7a03a4e03e","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-498","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-496",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
