Chapter 265 The Abandoned Cannon Fodder Beauty in the Apocalypse (54)
Shen Chumo twitched the corner of her mouth, "You didn't kill me back then, you just thought that letting zombies bite me to death was more to your liking."
You've never been as good as me since you were a child. You're jealous of my looks, my abilities, and that I have a family and a boyfriend. That's why you've been plotting to destroy me. Even in this apocalyptic world, your narrow-minded and ugly thoughts have never changed.
Admit it, Su Yao, you will never be as good as Shen Chumo.
Killing people and punishing people is nothing more than that.
"Shen Chumo, don't be so smug! No matter what, Li Che still chose me, didn't he? You don't know, do you? Before the apocalypse, Li Che was already with me. You're just a pathetic wretch who was abandoned."
Su Yao roared hoarsely, and with each word she spoke, a trickle of blood would spill from the corner of her mouth, making her ferocious appearance particularly terrifying.
Shen Chumo simply looked at her calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a clown making a fool of himself.
"Li Che? He's nothing but a piece of shit packaged as chocolate. You managed to snatch a pile of shit, and you're actually showing off here."
But then again, even if it were just a pile of shit, it would still be the best thing you've ever eaten in your life.
Su Yao choked and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the end, Su Yao's eyes gradually lost their light, her head tilted to the side, and she fell to the ground, ending her life filled with sin and regret.
Shen Chumo stared silently at Su Yao's corpse, without a trace of pity in her eyes.
Bai Nuannuan and the others also came over. They were shocked when they saw the bodies of Li Che and Su Yao.
"So that's why I didn't see them. They were secretly mining crystal cores again. But how did they die?"
The bearded man looked disgusted; they all had absolutely no liking for Su Yao and Li Che.
In addition to the incident where Su Yao pushed Bai Nuannuan, even if Su Yao doesn't die now, they will inevitably cause her trouble in the future.
Zhou Sinian crouched down and examined their wounds.
"They seem to have...killed each other..."
The knife wound on Li Che's neck and the wind blade wounds on Su Yao's body both prove this point.
"Tch, so it's just dogs fighting."
After saying that, the others didn't bother to give them any more looks and began cleaning up the battlefield.
The crystal cores that Su Yao and Li Che had dug out were taken from their pockets and placed in bags. After carefully storing the crystal cores, they put them away.
Everyone unanimously decided to give all the crystal cores to Shen Chumo and Ying Chu, since they hadn't really contributed much.
Shen Chumo and Ying Chu did not refuse. Ying Chu had just donated all the supplies, and now with these crystal cores, their team's strength could be further enhanced.
...
Two months later, at the Dawn Base.
"Have you heard? The base's research institute has developed a new drug, which is said to be an upgraded version of the X-01 reagent, called the X-02 reagent."
"Really? So fast? Wasn't the X-01 reagent only released less than a month ago? My friends and family are going crazy trying to get their hands on it! How come there's an X-02 now?"
"I'm really looking forward to it. Since we got the X-01 reagent, our mission mortality rate has been halved. We no longer have to worry about our team members getting scratched and infected with the zombie virus. The X-02 reagent will definitely be more powerful than the X-01."
"Just you wait and see. I have a friend who works as a handyman at a research institute. He said that this X-02 is said to have absolutely unexpected effects. He told us that we'd better prepare the crystal nuclei as soon as possible to snatch the reagents."
Immediately, everyone was discussing the X-02 reagent, and the entire base was immersed in an atmosphere of both excitement and tension.
Not only at the Dawn Base, but people from other bases also rushed to the Dawn Base early after hearing the news, just to be the first to grab the X-02 reagent.
Three days later, the base held a grand launch event for the X-02 reagent in the central square.
The square was bustling with people; even before the appointed time, the central square of the base was already packed with a dense crowd.
Everyone craned their necks, gazing towards the stage with eyes full of curiosity and longing.
When Bai Nuannuan walked onto the stage, the entire audience fell silent instantly.
She cleared her throat and solemnly said, "Fellow survivors, today we are incredibly excited to introduce to you a major scientific research achievement that can change our fate in this apocalyptic world—the X-02 reagent."
A murmur rippled through the crowd as everyone craned their necks, eager not to miss a single crucial detail.
"Through the unremitting efforts and research of our base's scientific research team, the X-02 reagent has finally been successfully developed."
The amazing thing about this reagent is that it has an unprecedented and groundbreaking function—it can turn zombies back into humans!
As soon as Bai Nuannuan uttered her words, the audience erupted in an uproar. Their faces initially showed shock and disbelief, which gradually gave way to surprise and hope.
"Is this true? Can zombies really turn back into humans?"
"If that's the case, then can we get back the relatives and friends we lost?"
A commotion began to rise in the crowd. Some people were so excited that their eyes reddened and their voices trembled as they murmured to themselves, "My poor child, he disappeared after turning into a zombie. If there is any chance to turn him back, I am willing to pay any price."
Those around them echoed, their eyes glistening with tears, their long-suppressed sorrow and longing rekindled at that moment.
It was as if everyone saw those familiar faces reappear before their eyes, and the scene of a family sitting together, laughing and talking happily, no longer seemed so far away.
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Bai Nuannuan continued, "The creation of the X-02 reagent is inseparable from an outstanding researcher at our base—Ms. Shen Chumo."
She overcame numerous difficulties during the research and development process, spending countless days and nights in the laboratory, repeatedly conducting complex and rigorous experiments.
Each failure did not deter her; instead, it fueled her fighting spirit. With her profound professional knowledge, keen insight, and unwavering perseverance, she found the crucial breakthrough point from countless combinations and reactions of substances, ultimately successfully developing the X-02 reagent.
As the audience listened to Bai Nuannuan's story, their admiration for Shen Chumo arose spontaneously.
Shen Chumo stood at a distance, listening to Bai Nuannuan's boasting, and felt somewhat ashamed.
In fact, the X-02 reagent was simply the X-01 reagent with the addition of spiritual spring water, but she couldn't say it outright. She could only lock herself in the research institute for a month before coming out and announcing the research success to the outside world.
No one knew what she did in the research lab, so Bai Nuannuan automatically imagined Shen Chumo's hard work and even publicized it at the press conference.
