Chapter 64 - Never Expected the Story Plot to be so Impressive! (1/2)

After some time, the protagonist regained his consciousness.

He realized that he was still in that room and was lying beside the corpses of mutated creatures.

However, the state of his health had improved tremendously. The feverish symptoms that he had after contracting the virus had disappeared.

A little girl was hiding behind an abandoned cabinet. She was staring at him with curiosity and wariness.

The protagonist tried communicating with the girl using various languages. He discovered that the girl seemed to understand Chinese but was unable to respond. She pointed at her mouth and then shook her hands.

“Oh. She can’t speak. Is she a character in the story plot?” Chen Sha wondered.

The plot continued.

The protagonist stood up and approached the girl with a friendly demeanor and tried to talk to her. Through that, he discovered that she was the one who saved him.

The little girl showed the protagonist a special syringe. That was probably a special apparatus developed by scientists in the base and could be used to collect blood and inject fluids into the body.

The protagonist vaguely figured out that it was the little girl’s blood that suppressed the virus he had contracted and cured him. That was why he did not turn into a zombie!

The little girl brought the protagonist to a nearby research laboratory. The lab was in a mess. It appeared that an intense battle had occurred here. There was a pungent smell in the air. The protagonist only dared to enter the lab after wearing a gas mask from the corpse of a soldier nearby.

The protagonist deduced the sequence of events that happened based on the documents left in the lab as well as the state of the place.

This little girl’s body contained an antibody for the virus. Her blood was the cure for the virus. After the virus had circulated in the base, a team of mercenaries was tasked to bring the little girl away from the lab.

However, they encountered a zombie attack in the process. In the midst of the intense battle, the team released a special poisonous gas to kill the zombies. Unfortunately, the number of zombies was still too much for the team to fight against; and they had all sacrificed in the end.

Meanwhile, the zombies that were originally in the base and members of the team that had turned into zombies all died from the poisonous gas.

The equipment was damaged and had malfunctioned. The little girl had escaped. The antibodies in her body allowed her to disregard the biochemical virus and poisonous gas. Moreover, her blood could heal infected persons.

However, a special apparatus had to be used during blood collection. That was the special syringe that the little girl was previously holding. It had to be discarded once it was used.

Because of that, the protagonist brought the little girl along as he searched for the exit of the base.

In the process, Chen Sha encountered even more obstacles.

The map started to become more and more complicated. Sometimes, Chen Sha would have to solve some simple puzzles before he could continue moving.

The difficulty of fighting those creatures escalated. Some zombies started to possess mutant abilities, such as fast speed, tremendously increased health bars, and the ability to turn semi-transparent. The weapons of the mercenaries became more advanced, and their numbers increased.

Other than having to fight these enemies, Chen Sha also had to look for more resources within the map and calculate the ammunition that he had to avoid exhausting it.

Apart from ammunition and medical supplies, the protagonist also had to source for syringes.

The little girl’s blood could not make him immune to the zombie virus permanently. After the protagonist was bitten, he would still contract the virus again. In that event, he still required a blood transfusion from the little girl.

Without syringes, the little girl would not be able to transfuse blood to the protagonist.

Additionally, Chen Sha required the little girl’s help in other areas.

Although she did not have much combat abilities, she could help out in many other aspects. For example, Chen Sha required the little girl to cooperate with the protagonist to solve certain puzzles for specific obstacles. She was tiny, agile, and immune to the poisonous gas and virus. Her blood could also remove the debuff caused by the virus and recover the protagonist’s health level.

Outside of battles, the little girl would help players source for collectible items hidden in the setting.

The little girl could sense nearby zombies. If the little girl suddenly found a place to hide while they were walking, that meant that a battle was about to commence.

During battles, Chen Sha felt that the little girl could affect his emotions.
