Chapter 194: Psycho is Dead

Ning Shu made a crying expression and asked worriedly, "What do we do now? I really did lose that gene essence. The situation back then was so dangerous with zombies all around, I don't even know where I lost it."

"You…" Phoenix was so angry she couldn't even get words out. In the end, she gave a cold humph and left.

Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain before heading back in for dinner. They've been eating biscuits every single day so the taste almost made her feel like puking. However, these were convenient and didn't go bad easily, so they were the best choice for travel.

The school doctor uncle had gotten milk from somewhere and was currently drinking it. When he saw Ning Shu come in, he asked, "What did she want to talk to you about?"

Ning Shu's eyes whirled as she considered whether she should tell the truth or not. If she talked about the gene essence, wasn't that giving him a warning? What if he decided to leave the group? However, she still told the truth. "She asked me about the gene essence."

The school doctor uncle responded with a 'oh' and then went back to drinking the milk without asking Ning Shu for it. Ning Shu was a little moved. Uncle, you're such a good person, even though you're a pervert.

After leaving, Phoenix soon came back. This time, Phoenix wasn't the only one that had come. Spider and Wolf was with her as well.

The moment Wolf walked into the room, he gave a cold humph and glared at the school doctor uncle with hostility in his eyes. His handsome face was a little worn out and he looked nothing like the local base tyrant he would become.

Everyone sat down around the table. Wolf, who was sitting at the head, gave a cough and tried to pull out an imposing manner. However, it just looked like false bravado.

"Phoenix, you can say it." Wolf said to Phoenix. He seriously didn't want to speak with this man. Whenever he saw this man, he would feel strangely oppressed.

In reality, this group was separated into two factions. One faction consisted of Wolf, Phoenix, and Spider, while the other faction consisted of Ning Shu and the school doctor uncle. The two groups relied on Phoenix to serve as the go-between.

"Do you know what we're trying to do?" Phoenix asked the school doctor uncle.

The school doctor uncle took a sip of milk without speaking. Phoenix seemed to have gotten used to the school doctor uncle's personality and simply continued, "Our goal is to find the gene essence."

Everyone looked at the school doctor uncle, but there was no expression on his face. Phoenix felt a little defeated. This man was seriously hard to deal with. She had done a lot of missions, but she had never encountered a man like this that was completely indifferent towards her.

"This gene essence is capable of awakening a person's special abilities and strengthening their body. As of now, there are more and more zombies appearing in the world, so it's becoming increasingly difficult for humans to defend themselves. We're searching for the gene essence in order to awaken the special abilities of more people so that we can put up a fight against the zombies," said Phoenix with a serious expression.

The school doctor uncle finally finished drinking the milk. He pushed the biscuits he didn't finish towards Ning Shu. The meaning was for Ning Shu to finish them, so Ning Shu silently ate the school doctor uncle's leftover biscuits.

"If you guys are searching for the gene essence, then there's no need to. That gene essence is only a half-finished product and Psycho is already dead," said the school doctor uncle in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Pfff… cough cough." Ning Shu choked on the biscuit when she heard the uncle say that Psycho was already died and hastily drank water to wash it down. He was calmly saying that he had died. What exactly was he trying to do? Fake death and then have people spread the false news that Psycho was already dead?

Wolf furrowed his brows and questioned the school doctor uncle coldly, "How do you know that? And how do you know that Psycho is dead? Who exactly are you? You're the most mysterious person in this entire group. You haven't even given your name."

Suspicion also appeared on Phoenix's face as she asked, "How do you know that Psycho is dead?"

"I was the one that killed Psycho," replied the school doctor uncle calmly. A trace of pity appeared on his face. "He had destroyed the gene essence."

"Pfff… cough cough." Ning Shu choked again and had to pound on her chest.

Chapter 195: I'm Not the One That Lost the Gene Essence

Ning Shu felt mixed feelings as she listened to the school doctor uncle spew nonsense with a completely serious expression. As the only one that knew the truth, she really wanted to scream, he freaking is Psycho, how the h.e.l.l did he kill Psycho!?

By committing suicide?

The school doctor uncle lifted his eyebrows as he looked at Ning Shu. When he saw that she was choking so much her eyes were starting to roll back, he reached out and slapped her back. Then he asked mildly, "That's a strong reaction. What? You have objections?"

Ning Shu waved her hand and said, "I don't have any objections." What objections could she have?

With the school doctor uncle's cold indifferent face in front of her, she wouldn't dare to voice objections even if she had them.

"After losing the gene essence, you still have the face to stay here? You sure have thick skin! Could it be that you don't feel any guilt at all?" Phoenix shouted in irritation, "Countless people have ended up killed and infected because of you!"

Ning Shu: (⊙ｏ⊙)

When Ning Shu heard Phoenix's accusation, she reflexively glanced towards the school doctor uncle. This sentence should probably be for the school doctor uncle right? The person that created these zombie-like monsters should be the one feeling guilty.

When the school doctor uncle saw that Ning Shu was staring at him, he shrugged and said, "It's not like I was the one that lost the gene essence, there's no use looking at me."

Ning Shu: Pfff…

Her understanding of the school doctor uncle has been updated once again. The school doctor uncle no doubt has the thickest skin in the world.

"Daisy, I'm talking to you! Where exactly did you lose the gene essence? Don't you know how important the gene essence is!?" Phoenix questioned Ning Shu with a dark expression.

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. "I don't know where I lost it. There were so many zombies back then. It took all my strength just to fend off the zombies, how could I have the presence of mind to care about some gene essence?"

"You should have protected the gene essence even if it costed you your life!" Phoenix critized Ning Shu.

The f.u.c.k? This was seriously endless. Ning Shu slapped the table and instantly caused the old table to fall apart. "Phoenix, are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

In the past, although Phoenix disliked her, she would maintain a lofty and elegant manner. However, now, she would pick a fight with her about everything to try and humiliate her.

Ning Shu glanced towards the school doctor uncle who seemed unconcerned. Could it be that the female lead-sama was jealous of how close she was to the uncle?

"Daisy, the reason I don't argue with you is because I'm taking into consideration the fact that you're younger. However, what's with you? Do you think you can be as unreasonable as you like just because there's someone to support you now?" said Phoenix coldly. She then glanced towards the school doctor uncle with some silent complaints in her eyes.

Daisy didn't have a good figure or any outstanding looks. Compared to her, Daisy was just an ugly clown. However, why was this man more willing to approach Daisy than her?

When Phoenix's thoughts arrived here, her expression became even more sulky.

Wolf noticed Phoenix's expression and his facial color immediately turned dark as he shouted, "What are you guys arguing for? Right now we should be deciding on where to go next rather than bickering over these trifles!"

Phoenix replied, "Without the gene essence, any further plans are useless."

Wolf glanced at the school doctor uncle with a complicated expression before finally saying, "Since Psycho is already dead and the gene essence has been destroyed, let's head back."

Wolf's meaning was clear: there was no point continuing the mission anymore, they should prepare to head back.

Ning Shu didn't have any objections. In any case, she had the gene essence, so if they went back, she could hand it to the senior commander and count her task as done. Afterwards, she could just spend her time pondering the meaning of life.

However, she couldn't let them discover that she wanted to go back, so she stammered, "How can we go back like this without any results? We'll be punished."

Phoenix rolled her eyes at Ning Shu. "Who do you think is responsible?"

Definitely not her, Ning Shu silently replied.

In the end, the group unanimously agreed to go back. Since they didn't get their hands on the gene essence, Wolf and Phoenix weren't able to awaken their special powers and still had to rely on the nation's protection. Due to that, the thought of betraying the country didn't occur to them yet.

The atmosphere sank again. Wolf gave a cold humph and got up to leave. Before he left, he glanced at Ning Shu with annoyance and murderous intent.

Ning Shu scooted closer to the school doctor uncle. The school doctor uncle met Wolf's gaze coldly. Wolf gave another humph, then turned and left.

"Boot-licker," sneered Spider.

The school doctor uncle turned around and also jeered at Ning Shu, "For better or for worse, you guys are teammates. Why do you have so little integrity?"

Ning Shu: Ha. Ha. Who knows?
