Chapter 577 - FEEDING THE ZOMBIES (1/2)

Phoebe felt embarrassed when she heard the words. She remembered how she had pursued Jiang Haoran with passion and sincerity. Now, hearing the mocking from Jiang Yinuo, she could not bear the cold truth.

She lost her mind and stared at Jiang Yinuo viciously.

”What right do you have to his love? Why do you deserve his care?” She shouted.

Everyone on Martial Island thought she fell for Yuan Haoran when he returned as a powerful figure. But no one knew that she had met him when he was younger, before his mysterious disappearance. It was a secret that no one knew.

She admired his quick mind, especially when she saw him interacting with older people. He was eloquent and clear, and he stood out like a gem against normal children. At the time, her young heart was set on him.

But when he returned, a few years later with unknown power and resources, he was no longer within her rich. Moreover, he had an extra person beside him that he treated like a treasure. He could not bear to see people looking at Yinuo badly.

And more importantly, the person beside him was someone with great achievements in the medical field, and those were before she was ten. Regardless of what she did, Phoebe was always compared to Yinuo and considered a disappointment.

Phoebe could never move past these disappointments.

”I deserve his love because I am me.” Yinuo brandished her sword. ”You can quit stalling for time.”

With a powerful move, she swung her sword towards Phoebe. Phoebe backed away quickly while praying that her reinforcements would come soon. She could not deal with the crazy woman before her easily.

When she heard the breakage of reinforced glass, she realised that the target of the sword was not herself. Jiang Yinuo had broken the cage used to keep one of the zombie-like creatures she had created.

”I have to commend you, Ms Lambert. But your thinking is a little too poor to achieve your goals.” Jiang Yinuo walked to another cage. ”I am guessing that you have tested the zombie drug and found its effect, but you have not been able to make advances.”

With another powerful swing, she broke another cage.

”Everyone on the island already knows about the zombie drug made by the Hime Iekami. The drug was supposed to help the body consume the accumulated energy from the rare material and prevent the internal damage from the tainted stuff.”

The two free zombies were confused and did not attack immediately.

”But the issue that no one could solve is how to stop the zombie drug from consuming all energy from a body. As long as the drug was administered, it will eat away the life force of its consumer and leave only a shell. A shell that would twitch, starve and die a painful death.” Jiang Yinuo split two more cages.

”You thought you were so clever that you decided to provide an alternative energy source to keep the zombies alive. As long as the zombies consumed enough power, you could create weapons to serve you. But you cannot figure out a consistent source of energy, right?”

Phoebe panicked. Things were exactly as Jiang Yinuo described. Despite her numerous experiments, she could not stabilize her experimental subjects. But the most important thing was that her zombies had a taste for anything and everything, including flesh.
