Chapter 191: Three People Left in the Group
Phoenix had good reason to insist on following the school doctor uncle. They were currently in the middle of nowhere and since they were close to the border, there wasn't anyone around. In addition, they had so many supplies to carry. Could it be that they'd have to resort to carrying these things on their backs and walking?
Moreover, there were only three people left in their group - her, Wolf, and Spider. Phoenix had already subconsciously kicked Ning Shu out of the group.
What would they do if they encountered zombies? Would they be able to outrun zombies while carrying these things? What if they encountered variant zombies? They had no way of dealing with variant zombies at all!
Wolf knew that he was raising a fuss over nothing, but for some reason he just didn't want to stay with that man. That man gave off a very dangerous feeling, so Wolf was very much against the idea of continuing to travel with him.
However, Phoenix had good points. The other man in the group also sided with Phoenix. Since it was two against one, Wolf had no choice but to give in. He pulled Phoenix's hand and said, "You should stay away from that man. He seems to have his eye on you, and he definitely doesn't have good intentions. You shouldn't be tricked."
The school doctor uncle who had just been accused of being a pervert seemed completely unconcerned about Wolf's words. Ning Shu couldn't help but admire his ability to remain unperturbed.
Actually, Ning Shu could understand why Wolf wasn't willing to go with the school doctor uncle. The school doctor uncle was seriously too overpowered. His abilities completely overshadowed the male lead's halo.
What kind of person was the male lead? Ever since he was born, he had this feeling of superiority as if he was better than everyone. With how proud he was, how could he stand being second to someone else?
However, right now Wolf had no choice but to endure his indigance. As he carried things towards the car, he kept glaring at the school doctor uncle.
The school doctor uncle just looked at his nails, paying no attention to Wolf, which caused Wolf's face to turn purple with rage.
The three only got back onto the car once they finished carrying all the things over. When Spider saw that Ning Shu seemed completely idle and carefree, he complained, "Some people only know to eat without ever bothering to help out."
How exactly had she offended this guy? Why was he always picking faults with her?
"Didn't you manage to carry them all anyways? Whether I'm there or not makes no difference." Ning Shu snapped back without fear because there was the school doctor uncle present.
"You…" Spider abruptly lifted his fist, but then glanced fearfully at the school doctor uncle and stopped. Then he sent another verbal jab at Ning Shu. "Don't get c.o.c.ky thinking that you've found someone strong to rely on."
Ning Shu's expression still remained smug.
"Spider, that's enough." Phoenix rebuked Spider, then said to the school doctor uncle, "This friend, where do you plan to go next?"
Ning Shu couldn't tell if it was her misconception, but Phoenix's voice seemed much more charming when she spoke to the school doctor uncle.
However, this was nothing unusual. Special agents like them had to make use of all the advantages they had in order to complete missions. Phoenix's curvy figure and beautiful elegant features were one of her strongest advantages.
Ning Shu looked at her own face in the rear view mirror. Her face was gray and still had a bit of leftover brain mush. Her features were ordinary and her hair was a complete mess.
Four words summed up her appearance - unbearable to look at.
Ning Shu glanced at the cool female lead-sama, then silently tried to sort her hair out a little.
Lord ah, she really did become the female lead's background contrast. There were only two women in the group. Her existence served perfectly to emphasize Phoenix's beauty. She suspected this to be the main reason for the original host's existence.
How sad!

Chapter 192: School Doctor Joined the Ranks
When the school doctor uncle heard what Phoenix said, he lifted his brows and turned around to look at her. Phoenix subtly lifted her chest a little, then repeated, "Where are you planning to go?"
The school doctor uncle pushed up his gla.s.ses a little. "Where do you guys plan to go? I'll follow."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Phoenix's face that increased her beauty. However, Wolf's expression remained cold.
And that was how the school doctor uncle joined the ranks. He drove wherever Phoenix told him to go, causing Wolf to be gloomy all the time with stifled anger. Whenever they encountered zombies, Wolf would be the first to rush up in order to vent his anger.
Phoenix was starting to trust the school doctor uncle more and more. On the other hand, every time Ning Shu saw the cold light refracting off of the school doctor uncle's gla.s.ses, she would feel a chill.
When she saw that Phoenix was starting to act bashful and shy in front of the school doctor uncle, she became even more horrified.
Uncle, you're totally on the path of overthrowing the male lead ah!
The apocalypse was very pragmatic. In this extreme environment, primitive human nature would be amplified. It displayed the original rules followed by humankind - the strong devouring the weak - in harsh detail.
Wors.h.i.+ping and following the strong all came instinctively.
The school doctor uncle possessed very advanced weapons that he used skillfully, so he never showed any panic when facing zombies. The most amazing part was that this guy didn't seem to be living in the apocalypse. His clothes were always clean, his nails were always trimmed, and there was no a trace of dirt on him, causing him to be even more attractive.
In contrast, Wolf was always angrily hacking at the zombies without a single trace of elegance, so his clothes were filthy and he always stank of sweat.
With the school doctor uncle as a contrast, Wolf became like dirt in comparison. His male lead halo became so dim it was barely even visible.
However, Ning Shu was more concerned about Phoenix's goal in traveling with them. They had already searched for many days but still hadn't found any other gene essence.
Ning Shu touched the gene essence in her pocket. This gene essence was the one she pulled out of the variant zombie's hand. Back then, the school doctor uncle hadn't taken it because the bottle was dirty, but afterwards he had never asked for it again.
Ning Shu naturally wouldn't foolishly take the initiative to hand this over to the uncle either. She was curious about what exactly this gene essence was to have been able to mess the world up like this.
Based on the original host's memory, the senior commander had told her that it was the nation that had wanted to strengthen the human body through improving human genes. The person who had been responsible for researching this was the gene scientist known as Psycho. However, they hadn't expected for him to actually succeed.
Unfortunately, not everyone was able to become stronger. About fifty percent of the people successfully activated the more advanced genes in their bodies and gain special abilities, but the other fifty percent became extremely strong monsters that felt no pain and only wanted to eat. In addition, those monsters contained a virus that could make humans become like them.
The person responsible for this, the uncle, had grabbed his things and ran. Soon, the monsters broke out of the lab and started wrecking the world.
The people who had been lucky enough to awaken their special abilities in the lab were drafted by the nation and Ning Shu's team was given the mission of finding the gene essence that the uncle had taken with him. Wolf and Phoenix knew about the ability of the gene essence so they ended up deciding to betray the country and keeping the gene essence for themselves.
Uncle, you sure caused a lot of destruction.
And what was the uncle staying with this group for? Could it be that he had gotten addicted to dissecting female leads?
"Come here." The school doctor uncle beckoned Ning Shu like she was a little dog. Ning Shu went over with a dark expression and asked, "Uncle, what is it?"
"Come closer. Come break this bar," said the school doctor uncle as he pointed at the steel reinforced bar that was about as thick as the length of a thumb.
Ning Shu: Why the heck?
