Here, take a look for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci took out a laptop, Xiaoyun could see the footage of a man in a lab coat walking into the same room they two stood right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man just took it out and stared at the white vial, making Xiaoyun start to feel a little disgusted as another man was holding a vial containing his liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jason, what the hell are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man just continued to stand there, ignoring Tianci's voice as she walked closer and closer to see what the man was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, put that back... Are you listening to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing negotiation failing, Tianci quickly snapped it out of his hand, finally freeing the man as he looked a little stunned by what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jason, what the hell had gotten into you? Why are you in this room and staring at this vial?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I don't know. Something just tells me to come inside and take a look at it... S-Sorry, Chief Scientific Officer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back home for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the man walked out of the room, the footage ends as Tianci puts the container back into the cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This wasn't the only one. I found the same thing in the other room with the red liquid inside the small vial... You get the idea, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... So my bodily fluid and the red liquid have a mysterious power to make someone go in and look at it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm. Does this ring any bells inside your head?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the footage in silence, Xiaoyun could feel he had seen something similar. But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only know this after Leyan told me about it over the phone. Do you not remember anything like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... Wait, I told this Leyan before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. You told her last year. It's how Mingxu and Jingjing manage to find a... black rock, I think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, right, right. The black rock. That thing. I almost completely forgot about that... But is there any relationship outside of attracting people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Tianci stared back at Xiaoyun in the eyes with a stone-cold face. Not saying a single word until he started to get a little nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you looking at me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you know, right when the outbreak started, there was a big rumor that had spread throughout my workplace before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only possible explanation for the zombie virus was... it had come from outside of the earth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A lot of people online and even today thought of that too. Not really that surprising a conclusion when no cure seems to be found.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but how did the zombie virus manage to enter Earth? There really wasn't any alien sighting when the outbreak happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How am I supposed to know? Why are you looking at me as if I know the answer to that question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I think you do know the answer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a minute of silence, Xiaoyun let out a small sigh as he looked back at her face, who looked determined to know the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is all purely my own speculation based on what I had concluded from the other Xiaoyun's statement... So take it with a grain of salt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci nodded her head, waiting for him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm pretty sure the virus came from an asteroid that landed on Earth. I'm not sure when, but it's like ten or twenty years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you so certain about the time being that far back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because that's when the old man gave me that black rock. Not a small pebble from Mingxu, but a much bigger one, around the size of a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the exact thing that changed my body and gave me this brand new ability to replicate everything I had touched in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And based on what Xiaoyun from the other timeline had stated, that was an alien object that had infinite energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Infinite energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci's face changes, Xiaoyun quickly realizes why her face looks so dismissive of that idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't mean infinite energy. But it's damn near infinite... At least until the other Xiaoyun in the other timeline created a time machine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It will be really nice if I could meet the other Xiaoyun instead of you.\" Tianci quietly murmured as Xiaoyun awkwardly brushed his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's long gone at this point. That was the last gift he gave me before he died. And that time machine is now useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood in silence for a second as neither of them had anything to say until Xiaoyun brought something up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, so what do you mean by the worst-case scenario earlier? Is there something wrong with my body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, based on everything you had told me. I can conclude your body had been altered away from being a human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun looked back at her with a poker face, as he long suspected a change, especially when he was being bitten and turned out fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't look surprised at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think an average human can have sex with all of you guys nonstop almost every single day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci's face blushed a little, but she quickly snapped out of it as she looked back at him with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, maybe it's not the worst case scenario... But still, I'm afraid that one day, your body might turn into this red liquid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun finally looked to be in complete shock, Tianci let out a small grin before getting ready to reveal the news to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, the black rock, the red liquid, and your cells. All of them are so similar that it almost feels like a phase change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A phase change?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A chemical phase change... Imagine water. It can go from solid like a rock, then to a liquid like a human, and finally a gas like the red liquid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why red liquid as a gas? Doesn't it have liquid in the name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun asked his dumb question once again as Tianci rolled her eyes. But this time, she didn't insult him for not knowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not an actual liquid. We just haven't named it... The red thing behaves like a liquid but is actually a gas entering into superfluidity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. I think I got everything you're trying to tell me... I need to stop using my ability to avoid turning into the red... gas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Technically, yes. But I'm not sure exactly how it works. It might be the opposite, and you need to use it as frequently as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sure is helpful, doctor Tianci.\" Xiaoyun grumpily murmured, realizing now he had new worries that he could do nothing about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I'm just giving you a heads-up... Anyway, be careful letting your blood or your... sperm get into the wrong hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. Anything else I need to watch for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as it doesn't leave your body or you release it on somebody you... like. It shouldn't have any major consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay... Wait, if I get a paper cut and the blood drops to the floor, would someone eventually be attracted to it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could, in theory. But I don't think it works that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? Don't tell me it's because of the vial. There's no way a glass vial is the factor that changes someone to be attracted to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need some further study before I can draw any conclusion. Just avoid having your blood leak out on accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll try my best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun answered her back, he could notice her face mysteriously blushing for who knows how many times at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you blushing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-Nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, just tell me. Don't hide it from me when I already told you so many things as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, fine. I... I also might have an alternative theory that might be a factor that led to the vial being found.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You remember how I-I said I dug the stuff out of m-my...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci didn't speak up any further, but Xiaoyun didn't need her to clarify this time, as he instantly understood it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder. I had spewed so much blood onto the floor in the past, and none of the soldiers ran to it or anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That might explain the attraction part, but it still doesn't explain your similarity to the red liquid and the black stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You aren't wrong, but there's nothing I can do about it... Anyway, next time just ask me for my... cum directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't be so lazy and dig it out of your body. That just sounds so nasty... And it can introduce a lot of outside factors in your experiment—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need you to tell me that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay. Geez.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci yelled back at him out loud, Xiaoyun quickly backed a little to dodge her attempt to kick him on the shin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! Come back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no, I'm outta here... If you don't need me for anything else, I'm going to go back to work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly ran away from her evil grasp, going down the hall as she stood by the doorway in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dummy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1539,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.595Z",1,"novelbin.me","64df17e8a177bac86396391ce2b36a59888d6443c0ecdc0112cfe82da51746cf","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-747","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-745",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
