Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 40 (Part 2)

Although Shi Qin couldn’t judge what Fu Xuzhou had done, he admired the other party in his heart. Those who can go against the world must have great courage.

Dragging a zombie and a younger sister, how did he spend those four years?

“Also… they really don’t treat us Awakened as human beings! Fortunately, I wasn’t caught at the time.” Yang Ping said with a wry smile. 

Obviously, as an Awakened person, he knows what the other bases have done to Awakened people, “But those must be rumours. I have been an awakened person for seven or eight years, and I haven’t gone crazy and become a tyrant. It depends on the individual.”

“Where are those experimental corpses?” Cheng Yu paid attention to something different.

“Because they couldn’t control them, and they didn’t want their research to be known by other bases, those corpses were temporarily destroyed. However, they also have the research report I brought out, and they may continue to study it sooner or later.”

Every powerful base has its own secret research centre, and they all want to seize power in the new world and develop the most powerful advantages first. Therefore, they will never share their secrets, just like the White Wolf Base in the novel. They kept the existence of the special zombie a secret, and until the blackened male lead destroyed everything, no one knew that there was any hope of saving mankind.

“Even if they don’t study it, mutated corpses still appear in the wild. After all, when the awakened flee from a safe place to the wild, the weak ones get eaten by zombies.” Yang Ping said.

Shi Qin frowned and said: “It happened four years ago. If they had taken precautions earlier, maybe there would not be so many corpses emerging now.” There will be even more in the future, and these corpses will become even stronger.

“Be prepared, they did even more.” Cheng Yu said suddenly.

“Huh?” Shi Qin was puzzled.

Cheng Yu’s face became gloomy, “In addition to preventing the emergence of tyrants, there should be another reason for eliminating the awakened ones, to prevent the evolution of zombies.”

The moment Cheng Yu spoke, everyone present fell silent.

The hostility on Yang Ping’s face couldn’t be suppressed anymore, “If human beings concentrated their power to deal with zombies instead of the Awakened, maybe the world would’ve become clean long ago.”

Fu Xuzhou also sighed silently.  “No one trusts each other. Who dares to say that if ordinary people put their heart and soul into destroying zombies, they won’t be devoured by the awakened. What’s more, compared to zombies, we ordinary people are more afraid of awakened people.”

Shi Qin felt chills down his spine, and looked at Fu Xuzhou, he was the only ordinary person here.

Fu Xuzhou said lightly: “Because human beings are more afraid of things similar to themselves. Walking corpses without IQ are just buzzing mosquitoes. What is really scary is the awakened ones who can use zombies as weapons, right? Plan ahead and kill all threats in the cradle. So, it is difficult to say whether what the people in power did was right or wrong, after all, if there are a few more tyrants, the human race will really be extinct.”

Shi Qin couldn’t help looking at Cheng Yu, feeling that the hero’s future is really bleak, so he couldn’t help reaching out to hold his hand.

Cheng Yu turned his head to look at Shi Qin, and also held his hand tightly. If the future does not change, then Cheng Yu’s future will be similar to the tragic situation of these awakened people.

【Ding, blackening value +3, 58】

Shi Qin: … Regarding the blackening value, my heart is very complicated. Thinking about it now, it’s normal for the male lead to behave like this, but if the value goes up again, my own zombie life will be in danger.

“It will…it will be fine.” Shi Qin firmly wanted to restore the value.

However, it was obviously useless, Cheng Yu just slightly raised the corner of his mouth and echoed: “Hmm, it will be fine.”

After finishing what he needed to say, Fu Xuzhou took Shi Qin to do some research. In fact, he is not a person who specialises in scientific research, but he has forced himself to do it in the past few years.

When they went down, Fu Miao was wiping Shao Yan’s body with hot water and a towel.

Seeing that they were about to start the research, she prepared to go out. Before leaving, she couldn’t help but say: “Brother, if you fail this time, just give up and leave with me.”

Fu Xuzhou remained silent.

When Fu Miao was going out, she ran into Cheng Yu who was coming over.

Fu Miao glared at Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu just walked in without even looking at her.

“Your sister doesn’t stay here all the time, does she live with other humans somewhere else?” Cheng Yu asked suddenly.

While installing things on Shi Qin’s body, Fu Xuzhou replied: “Actually, even though Shao Yan had turned into a zombie, Miaomiao was very happy when I first rescued Shao Yan. Although she didn’t fully believe that Shao Yan could recover, when someone gave her hope, she was willing to believe it. But she has been waiting for three years, and she really can’t bear it any longer. She can’t stay with me who only cares about research, and Shao Yan who has turned into a zombie.”

In this lonely place, she didn’t have anyone to communicate with. When she was about to be driven crazy, Fu Xuzhou also felt sorry for her sister and didn’t want to trap her for the rest of her life. In the end, he exchanged a new identity for Fu Miao from the homeless people and sent her to live in a small base.

“It’s my fault. I thought she was willing to stay with Shao Yan like this. In fact, she should be left in the human base. I can bear my obsession alone. Although I am Fu Miao’s brother, Fu Miao is also an adult, and she can make her own life decisions.”

At that time, Fu Miao wanted Fu Xuzhou to give up Shao Yan, but Fu Xuzhou couldn’t agree, and only asked her to promise that she would visit every once in a while.

This time, Fu Miao was probably determined to persuade him to give up, so she came back to him suddenly.

After hearing this, Cheng Yu looked thoughtful, but he didn’t say anything.

……

At this time, after Fu Miao made sure that Yang Ping went back to rest, she sneaked out of the underwater park and came to the tunnel. Turning on the communication device in her hand, she didn’t show any joy until the voice sounded.

A man’s voice came from the communicator.

“Miaomiao, where are you? I’m very worried about you. Give me a detailed address.”

“Didn’t I say that I want to go to meet my brother? I told you not to follow me, my brother’s place cannot be discovered by others.”

“Who is your brother, and why does it need to be a secret? Sigh, if you don’t make it clear to me, how can I rest assured when you go out alone, besides, am I someone else? Don’t you trust me? We are going to get married soon. I should pay my respects to our brother.”

“I haven’t told my brother yet. Anyway, he’s been busy recently. You should go back first, and don’t wander around in City H. There are a lot of zombies here. We also encountered mutated corpses before. It was very scary. Don’t worry about me. Okay? After I convince my brother, I will take him back to meet you.”

“Us? Is there anyone else with you? Are they dangerous people!”

“No… it’s not dangerous. They treat me well, and they only asked my brother to do things.”

“Are there any awakened people?”

“There are two, and… there is also a strange zombie.”

“What?!”

“That……”

“Miss Fu Miao, why are you here alone? It’s very dangerous outside.” Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Fu Miao was taken aback, and quickly turned off the communicator and hid it. She then turned around and saw Yang Ping looking at her and smiling not far away.

“You…how did you come out?”

“I saw that the door was open, so I was a little worried. What about you?”

“I’m just wandering around.”

“Oh…” Yang Ping: “Let’s go back, it’s not safe here.”

“Hmm…” Fu Miao replied and quickly walked back.

Yang Ping kept his eyes on Fu Miao until she went back to her room, then he sneered, his eyes gradually turning cold.

On the other side, above City H, a group of armed men were hiding on a high ground.

“How is it? Is it located?”

“No, the time was too short, so we can only roughly determine the position somewhere in the east.”

“It’s okay as long as we have a direction to follow. Speed ​​up the search. There are already a large number of mutated corpses here. Fu Xuzhou must be found. This is for the benefit of all human beings!”
