Chapter 193: Come Here, Let Me Feel

When Ning Shu heard that the school doctor uncle actually wanted her to break a steel bar, she thought she was hearing things.

"Why do you want me to break it?" asked Ning Shu.

The school doctor uncle looked towards Ning Shu and his gla.s.ses turned white from refracted light, causing him to look extremely dangerous. Ning Shu immediately picked up the steel bar on the ground without another word.

"Use all your strength to do it," said the school doctor uncle.

Ning Shu nodded and revolved her inner strength as she exerted her strength on the steel bar. She didn't manage to break it, but it bent. She asked, "Is this alright?"

The school doctor uncle nodded, then reached out to touch Ning Shu's arm. Ning Shu immediately threw down the steel bar and ran far away before turning to look at him warily. "Uncle, what are you doing?"

h.e.l.l, it was terrifying to be touched by him.

"I'm just testing your strength. I saw earlier that you seem unusually strong." The school doctor uncle beckoned Ning Shu. "Come over here, let me feel."

Ning Shu: Pfff….

"Come here, let me feel your muscle," repeated the school doctor uncle. Ning Shu felt uncomfortable from head to toe.

The reason why she was unusually strong was because she had practiced the Unsurpa.s.sable Martial Arts. Speaking of which, everytime she recalled the name of this inner strength manual, she would feel really embarra.s.sed.

Ning Shu jogged to the school doctor uncle. As she watched him examine her expressionlessly, she felt a chill. Why did she feel like she was about to be dissected by the school doctor uncle?

After the school doctor uncle had his fill of touching her muscle, he nodded. "Although you don't have very large muscles, they're very compact. This is the ideal state." The school doctor's gold-rimmed gla.s.ses were practically s.h.i.+ning as he spoke, which scared Ning Shu so much she felt about to wet her pants.

It couldn't be that Uncle wanted to dissect her? No way right? No way?

"Here are your dinners." Phoenix walked over and interrupted Ning Shu and the school doctor uncle's moment of 'pa.s.sionate gazing.'

Phoenix was holding two boxes of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water which she handed to the school doctor uncle.

The school doctor uncle then handed Ning Shu a box of biscuits. Ning Shu hastily took it. She was starving!

When Phoenix saw this, her eyes flickered with something and she said to Ning Shu, "Daisy, step out for a second. I want to talk to you."

Ning Shu was a bit confused. Why would Phoenix want to talk to her? However, she still followed Phoenix out. This house was very crude; it was made from mud, so its inhabitants were already long gone. It was just a temporary resting place for the group.

When they got outside, Phoenix stopped walking. Ning Shu stood about two meters away from Phoenix. This was the safest distance to maintain.

"Why were you looking for me?" asked Ning Shu.

Phoenix extended her delicate hand towards Ning Shu. When she saw Ning Shu's completely baffled expression, she said coldly, "Daisy, hand over the gene essence so that we can complete the mission."

"Gene essence? I don't have any gene essence," replied Ning Shu.

Phoenix's expression turned colder. "Stop acting! I'm talking about the gene essence the variant zombie s.n.a.t.c.hed. You were the one that took it in the end."

Ning Shu acted like she had suddenly realized what Phoenix meant and said, "Oh, that gene essence. I already lost it. If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't even have remembered it." Following that, Ning Shu put on a remorseful expression. "Big Sister Phoenix, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."

Phoenix was annoyed when Ning Shu called her 'big sister.' When she saw how foolish Ning Shu looked, she said coldly, "Daisy, we've all been sent by the same secret service department. Do you want everyone to fail this mission and be punished by Senior Commander?"

Inwardly, Ning Shu rolled her eyes. You guys have already betrayed the country, so why would you still care about being punished? The only one this would work on would be the silly and naive original host.

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.
