The fog is just taking some time before it goes away... That’s why I said everything will be fine tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a closed silica flask was lifted out from one of the metal drawers, it floated in the mid-air as Tianci was still invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You could have told me that rather than just hanging up the phone. You know how scared I got when you did that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t hang it up on purpose. The phone stopped working completely... You try to take out your phone and make a call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly took his phone out, only to find it useless as a brick. The phone couldn’t even be turned on to display its battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was only able to call you when I stepped outside the room. But then I noticed the fog was still spreading within the lab.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? It still kept expanding after you closed the lid?\" Xiaoyun questioned as she handed over the flask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, really. The area outside the storage room feels heavy, right? I made everyone evacuate the lab for a reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how about you? Why didn’t you leave with everyone else? Why stay in this room when let the fog by itself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the room fell into silence, Xiaoyun’s mind was already starting to develop an answer for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me you’re conducting an experiment on yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What makes you think that?\" Tianci questioned, her face looking a little surprised by Xiaoyun’s assumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why else would you open this flask by yourself? There’s no way it’s just an accident when you know how dangerous this stuff can be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I didn’t open it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room once again fell into silence. Although he couldn’t see her face, Xiaoyun could feel that her voice was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really didn’t open it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was planning to carry it over to the test subject room... If I really want to conduct a test on myself, why would I do it in the storage room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, how would the flask open on its own? That just doesn’t make any sense. Something must have caused it to open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite standing in front of an invisible figure, Xiaoyun continued to stare down at it, not moving a single inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianci, are you really telling the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am. I really didn’t open it—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish her sentence, a human figure finally emerged. Tianci was standing there completely naked, with red dots scattered all over her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s not lying. The flask really did open on its own... If it weren’t for me, the flask would have been dropped onto the floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the alternate Tianci came out with her red pupils to testify, Xiaoyun had no choice but to accept it as the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how did the flask open then? The only way that’s possible is—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun froze. A conclusion came to his brain as his mouth kept shut. One that made his heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She might like to deny it as such, but I, as the genius, had long suspected that this red liquid thing is a living being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alternate Tianci’s point made him fall into silence once again. In his mind, it was the worst-case scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, we need to find a way to dispose of this. Or else this red liquid is going to ruin the lab soon or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The straightforward answer caught Tianci a little offguard, as she stared towards the closed flask in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean there’s no way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can throw whatever at it. Bombs, fire, whatever. This red liquid will still be there... This thing is indestructible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun stared towards the flask in his hand, he could feel a weird beating, like a real heart moving up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or it was just an illusion as he shook his head. It was just his own heartbeat that made him think the red liquid was moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Store this thing in multiple layers of silica glass and seal it tight. Don’t even touch this thing and work with it ever again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci immediately got to work, going over to the drawers before taking out multiple containers made out of pure fused silica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put it in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the flask slowly lowered into a much bigger flask, Xiaoyun still felt it was unsafe as he grabbed another flask to put over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should prevent it from opening on its own... Unless it shatters the glass. Then there’s no way to prevent it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... What do we do with it now, though? Are we really just going to keep this thing inside the lab?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci raised her concern, Xiaoyun nodded his head before putting the three-layered flask into the metal container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have nowhere else to put it safely. Just have a camera monitoring the room at all times and find a separate room that has nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. I’ll do that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the container, the redness in Tianci’s eye slowly dissipated as her usual self returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You feel that?\" Xiaoyun suddenly questioned as he looked over to the clear window right by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel what?\" Tianci asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The pressure is gone. The windows isn’t block off by a dotted red paint either... Let me check the outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly headed over to the exit, stepping out into the hallway before coming back to the storage room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no feeling of heaviness, no dimmed and constant flicking lights. Everything was finally back to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it so fast?\" Tianci murmured as she stuck her hands out, only to feel no pressure or anything at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it doesn’t take 24 hours after all... Anyway, come on, let’s go home before Leyan, and everyone else gets worried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tianci stopped him from exiting the room, Xiaoyun looked over to her for a second before it glued onto her naked body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C-Can you make some clothes for me? I-I don’t want to go out naked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianci shyly murmured as she tried to cover her chest and crotch with her hands, only to make it even more tempting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here... Also wear this. It’s to cover your face and your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resisting the urge to take her on the spot, Xiaoyun quickly created an extra-large hoodie and pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he created a pair of gloves, a headband to cover her forehead, and a face mask to cover everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"C-Can you see the red dots on my face?\" Tianci nervously asked as she looked over to the metal shelf’s reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re as covered as a lasagna. Come on, let’s not waste any more time inside the lab. People are going to start getting worried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long struggle, Tianci finally gave in as she accepted his hand, letting him walk her out of the storage room and then the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor! We were just starting to think about calling the police.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As all the scientists and soldiers quickly gathered around the two of them, Xiaoyun quickly stepped forward to act as a bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything is fine now. Please don’t enter the lab until tomorrow morning. Tianci will not be able to come to work until... Thursday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Miss Tianci fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the younger scientists curiously asked, as they all could guess the heavily clothed person was Tianci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s fine. You guys can go back home as well now... Come on, let’s go. Don’t want to miss dinner back home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun brute forced through the crowd of people that had surrounded them, they finally made it to the car as he started up the engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianci, you fine there?\" Xiaoyun asked as he drove off, leaving the scientists a little stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I’m fine... I-It’s a little hot.\" Tianci quietly answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me turn on the AC...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With cool air coming from the car, Tianci felt much better. However, Xiaoyun was starting to get a little cold as it was already September.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, are you cold? Y-You don’t have to turn the AC that high for me.\" Tianci murmured, noticing his arms shivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about it. I’m fine... We’re almost there. Just a few more turns and we’re home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pressing the gas pedal as hard as he could, Xiaoyun finally made it back home as Nami opened the garage door for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back... Who’s this person and where’s Tianci?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is Tianci... It’s a long story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three of them stepped into the living room, everyone was right there, sitting on the sofa with the TV playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Took you guys long enough... Why does Tianci look like this? What happened in the lab?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan immediately recognized her through all the clothes as all of them quickly walked up and surrounded Tianci in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to tell them, or do you want me to tell them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You can tell them. I-I’m going back to my room!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite all the heavy cloths on Tianci, she easily ran through all of them before the sound of the door closing traveled down from the 2nd floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, why’s she dressed like that?\" Yuqi curiously asked, her mind filled with curiosity like everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>",1540,"2026-06-10T06:59:54.885Z",1,"novelbin.me","b3807001c7d0fed57c737920b61256e87a0723e213e22fef2bd11c34a83ac98f","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-529","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-528",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
