Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 40 (Part 1)

The brother and sister from the Fu family and Shao Yan are all survivors who were taken into the Eastern Base after the outbreak happened.

Before the end of the world, Fu Xuzhou was a top medical student, who was considered a rare talent. Therefore, he was transferred to work in the most powerful research centre of the Eastern Base. Although he didn’t mainly study viruses related to zombies and awakened people, he would inevitably come into contact with the things inside sometimes.

Fu Miao originally majored in foreign languages, which are basically useless in the last days, so she can only help grow food and do some simple work.

Shao Yan was originally a firefighter, but after arriving at the Eastern Base, he joined the Mission Corps and went out to collect supplies.

At that time, they also felt the uneasiness and restlessness at the Eastern Base, but because they were ordinary people and had no contact with people in power, they didn’t feel that any major had happened. Therefore, they only focused on doing their own things cautiously.

On the day of the blood moon tragedy, the three of them had dinner at home safely, and the husband and wife took a walk after dinner and also sent Fu Xuzhou to work overtime in the research building.

Just when the moon rose to the zenith, screams came from outside.

However, unlike the rumors outside, the first thing that happened was actually inside the base.

The fire started in the area where the research building was located, with people shouting everywhere, and the fire seemed to spread very quickly as if planned.

When people heard that zombies came in again, everyone thought it would be safer to stay in the research building behind closed doors.

Fu Xuzhou contacted Fu Miao and Shao Yan, telling them not to worry, but to protect themselves.

However, it never occurred to him that the city was already besieged by the zombies outside.

When the fire reached the research building where Fu Xuzhou was located, they couldn’t continue to hide. The zombies had already breached the city gate, and the outside was in chaos. Everyone finally realized that they couldn’t wait for rescue, otherwise, they would either get burned or bitten to death by the zombies.

The crowd began to scatter and flee, and Fu Xuzhou was also running, but on the way, he encountered a bitten doctor.

He had worked with that doctor on several projects, and the relationship was pretty good.

Before the doctor died, he handed over his backpack to him and told him that it contains very important things. He hoped that Fu Xuzhou could protect these things for the future of mankind.

Inside were several bottles of supernatural masking agent and research materials about zombies.

The next process of escaping was very difficult. He witnessed everything with his own eyes, and also saw that awakened person on the city gate.

That appearance of red eyes shedding bloody tears was really like a demon.

In fact, even if ordinary awakened people can control zombies, they can’t achieve this level, otherwise human beings would’ve become extinct long ago.

Fu Xuzhou witnessed the scene of the awakened person falling down with his own eyes, but in fact, he wasn’t killed by the zombies, but rather exploded and died due to excessive mental energy consumption and his inability to bear that power.

Later in the research of various bases, this was called the loss of control of the Awakening. In this state, the Awakened person will lose his mind, and will have no control over his ability. Such an Awakened person is called the Awakened Tyrant.

Since then, there have been rumors that the Awakened people gradually lose their humanity as their strength increases, and within a maximum of five years, they will completely go crazy and eventually become the Awakened Tyrant, who must be eradicated in order to prevent them from harming the world.

With the vigorous pursuit of the holy army, the Awakened Tyrant has never been seen since then.

Fu Xuzhou was fortunate to have survived the Blood Moon tragedy after the rescue from the other bases arrived. Soon, he found Fu Miao among the survivors, but he never saw Shao Yan again.

Fu Miao said that in order to save her, Shao Yan was bitten and turned into a zombie, staying in that city. But at that time, the eastern base had already begun to clean up the place with the most powerful weapons, and almost all the zombies were killed.

The brother and sister hugged each other and cried, feeling desperate and helpless.

That night was everyone’s worst nightmare, but even the Fu brother and sister had no idea why such a thing happened, just like Dr. Tang and others. They were also unable to investigate what happened.

The Fu brother and sister were taken in as residents by Huofeng Base. Fu Xuzhou was meritorious for handing in the research materials, and they wanted to include him in the research institute.

However, at that time, Fu Xuzhou was disheartened by Shao Yan’s death and his sister’s collapse, and he didn’t want to do anything for the time being. He resumed his job and started to work as a doctor to make a living.

Later, in an accident, Fu Xuzhou went with the Mission Corps as a medical officer to search for supplies in the wreckage of the Eastern Base, and encountered a group of remaining zombies. Except for Fu Xuzhou, the entire army was wiped out.

Because Fu Xuzhou was familiar with the structure of the Eastern Base, he escaped smoothly. At that time, he miraculously found Shao Yan who had turned into a zombie.

From that moment on, Fu Xuzhou gave up the idea of ​​asking for help, and used all means to take Shao Yan away from the Eastern Base, imprisoning him in an uninhabited ruin near Huofeng Base.

After returning, Fu Xuzhou immediately took his sister to secretly meet Shao Yan.

Fu Xuzhou told Fu Miao confidently that he would invest in research and find a way to cure Shao Yan, and Fu Miao also actively supported it.

So Fu Xuzhou joined the research institute. There, he worked hard to learn everything about zombies.

Not long after joining the research institute, Fu Xuzhou found out about the existence of the supernatural masking agents, but it was something that was only beneficial to the awakened. It is believed that it was also an unintentional product obtained while studying the awakened person.

Huofeng base mainly studied zombies, and had little interest in awakened people, so the research on this subject was abandoned, and the masking agents were also sealed, along with the ingredient list.

However, the scientific officer was more interested in another research material brought back by Fu Xuzhou. Not long after Fu Xuzhou joined the institute, he was transferred to one of them for research.

At this time, Fu Xuzhou really saw the content of the research.

Strictly speaking, it’s not about zombies, but about mutated corpses.

That’s right, as early as that time, the Eastern Base began to study the mutated corpses. At that time, they still took in the awakened people to live in the base, so an accident made them discover that the zombies that ate the awakened ones would evolve into other forms, and will gain IQ, it was more like an animal beast rather than a zombie.

Therefore, a scientific officer proposed to conduct more research on it and gave such a conjecture report, but at that time, the awakened people still had human rights, and such a research would naturally not be allowed until the report finally reached the hands of the Huofeng Base.

Huofeng base began to use the captured awakened people and zombies for research. After all, at that time, all the bases on the mainland had jointly declared that the Awakened must be exterminated, so even if they were caught and fed to zombies, it seemed to be a matter of course.

But they failed, the evolution of the corpse was uncontrollable, and because the failure of several experiments led to the loss of talents, the various forces in the base took advantage of this failure to attack each other, so this research has experienced several twists and turns.

And Fu Xuzhou was transferred in at this time. When he saw the research project clearly, he couldn’t accept it. Even if the zombies evolved into different corpses, which proved that the zombies can be changed, he couldn’t watch a zombie like Shao Yan eat the awakened people, so he declined to join the research.

But unfortunately, when he and Fu Miao went to visit Shao Yan, they were found. Although Shao Yan was not killed on the spot, he was taken back to the base to be a sample of zombies and they found a special point about him.

This Shao Yan has never eaten people, so his genes have not been polluted, and he is an excellent seedling to be a corpse. They can try the latest research possibilities on him.

Realizing that they wanted to use Shao Yan for research purposes, Fu Xuzhou couldn’t accept Shao Yan becoming a mutated corpse. So he took his sister and Shao Yan to escape from Huofeng Base together, also taking away the two things he had given to Huofeng Base. 

In this way, the family of three came to their former hometown of H City. This underwater park was also a place where they often came to play, so they were especially familiar with it.

After that, Fu Xuzhou started a long research. In order to control Shao Yan and obtain some supplies, he started to do some business with homeless and awakened people, persisting for four years.

After hearing this, several people felt some sadness in their hearts, thinking that everyone in this world bears the consequences of their own choices.
