42 Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All 18 (1/2)
While Yin Mei left Ming Wei to consider her offer, she looked up Lei Han's location with the system surveillance. She had to say, despite how glitchy the system was in calculating missions, it at least had its uses.
Lei Han currently appeared to be resting at home. Wow, and here she thought he would be outside hunting 24/7. But for her that was lucky, she wouldn't have to wait for him to get back. ”Now where is he?” Yin Mei had the system zoom out, and checked the room number and apartment building. ”It's a little hard to tell...” She zoomed out more, but to her, everything looked the same. Plus, this city was pretty big...
”Damn, should've asked for a map or something.” In the end, she could only check the street names and go ask someone else for directions.
Half an hour later, after fifteen minutes of meandering around lost, she arrived in front of Lei Han's apartment door. Lei Han was on the eighteenth floor, which Yin Mei was not sure why, because such an apartment, though cheaper, would require the resident to walk up all eighteen flights of stairs. Though Yin Mei had no problem, because she lived on the twenty-fifth floor of their building, she thought that Lei Han, being in the special forces, would be granted privileges that would include living on lower level floors, especially since it would allow the soldiers to respond more quickly in an emergency.
Well, maybe he did it as some sort of training? She knocked on his door, waiting for a moment. There wasn't a reply. She checked the system's screen, and she could see that he was glancing toward the door with an indescribable expression. What the hell? Is he ignoring her? She knocked again, louder this time. At this moment, he finally got up and came over to the door, opening it.
His face alternated between surprise and disgust before he finally got his expressions under control and put on a mask of cool, asking, ”What in the world are you doing here?”
”What's up with the tone of voice?” Yin Mei said, raising an eyebrow at him. Shouldn't she be the one who wanted to be disgusted? ”I just came to visit an old member of my father's regiment.”
Lei Han snorted. Who would believe that? ”What do you want?” She appeared again in this city for the first time in over two years and visits him, he was really curious what she wanted. He still hadn't forgot his suspicions over her time traveling like himself... and her relationship with that b*stard Ming Wei... though she had also ended up stealing some research samples from him or something, if he recalled, so he had no idea what relationship the two of them had in the end.
”I haven't seen you in more than two years and you're so cold? I wonder what my father would say.” Yin Mei ruthlessly said, poking at Lei Han's sore spot. Too bad these male lead's specialized in being shameless, so he quickly dismissed the small amount of guilt he felt without even a blink of his eyes.
”Lu Mei, even now you're still bringing up your father, don't you have any shame?” Lei Han said, frowning.
”Shame?? Shameee???” Yin Mei was flabbergasted. She was so angry that she was practically shaking. She may not be Lu Mei, but anyone would be angry if they heard Lei Han's words. ”You dare talk to me about shame? If not for you, my father would still be alive right now, yet you have no remorse or respect for the dead, you dare actually talk to me about shame?”
At these words, even Lei Han had to pause. So... Lu Mei actually thought like this? Could it be in the past life as well... He shook his head. Even if she did, he still couldn't forgive her.
Yin Mei snorted, seeing that he was still unrepentant. F*ck, Lu Mei, don't worry, I'll definitely get revenge for you against this shameless motherf*cker. ”Let's go hunting for zombies.” She then added on before Lei Han could reject her, ”you owe me for my father. And don't say you don't, because you definitely do.” She sneered at him, and in the end, he nodded.
Would she take this chance to try and kill him? Lei Han thought. But, he had confidence in himself. If she did attack him, he could kill her in self defense. And... he would go along with her for this one last time, as a last favor to her father.
Lei Han closed the door, opening it five minutes later dressed in a black military vest and a backpack slung over the shoulder. The two of them walked in silence to outside the city, going in a direction opposite of H City, since everyone knew that the zombies between H and B City had almost been completely cleaned out. They walked, as taking a car would require a large number of energy stones (which Lei Han was unwilling to spend, and Yin Mei didn't have).
They walked several miles away from B City before settling down on a spot that had some zombies. Most of the areas in the vicinity of B City were constantly being cleared, so they needed to walk quite some time before they actually encountered any.
Yin Mei unsheathed her sword, hacking away at the zombies mindlessly as she considered what would be a good time to kill off Lei Han.
She glanced at him, and he was fighting with a knife and pistol. These were only rank 2 zombies, and still susceptible to bullets.
”Lei Han, I've always wanted to ask you, but why do you seem to have a grudge against the doctor?” Yin Mei suddenly said, startling Lei Han and causing him to fumble, though he quickly corrected himself and killed off the zombie he was fighting.
”... why are you asking something like that?” Lei Han said, his face dark. He didn't like thinking of Ming Wei, because it would remind him of everything he had gone through in his past life.
”No, well, I was just thinking, why would anyone hate the doctor? In C Country, no, in perhaps the entire world, he is the only one who even has a chance of creating the cure.” Yin Mei said, absentmindedly slashing down another zombie as she spoke.
The thing that she always disdained Lei Han for the most was killing off the doctor, the person who came closest to creating the cure in the past timeline.
So she really wanted him to regret it, before he even got a chance to do so this time.
”That man? The cure? Don't joke around. A mass murderer like him has no right to be talking about saving humanity.” Lei Han said with a sneer, dispatching the last of the group of zombies they were fighting.
”Are you talking about the people he experiments on? A little sacrifice for the greater good is necessary, I don't see why you're so worked up about it. He's simply sacrificing one man for a hundred, ten for a thousand, a hundred for ten thousand. In the end, they all die for the sake of the rest of humanity. Unless... you can't accept that for some reason?” Yin Mei glanced at him, who was glaring at her with dark eyes. If looks could kill, then she would already be dead. Too bad they couldn't!
Lei Han sneered, but didn't reply. What, still stubbornly believing that he isn't creating a cure even though you can't even retort? Yin Mei mocked him in her head, but also didn't say anything. This sort of person wouldn't listen to reason. After all, the correct decision was to quickly get rid of him before he becomes a problem.
”Sorry, Lei Han, but I can't let you kill the doctor. He's our hope for a better world,” Yin Mei said, turning around to face the man.
”So what, you're going to kill me?” Lei Han raised an eyebrow, clearly not taking her seriously.
Yin Mei calmly nodded. ”Did you know that the doctor only needed done last ingredient to complete the cure when you killed him last time? You doomed all of humanity with your selfishness.” Yin Mei said, taking out a vial of the ability enhancing drug and downing it before throwing it onto the ground, the sound of the glass shattering sending doubts into Lei Han's mind.
”What're you talking about?” Lei Han was confused. He thought that Yin Mei might have come from the same timeline as he had, but he had never killed Ming Wei in his past life?
”You come from some past timeline, yeah? Well so do I. But I come from this timeline's future... in other words, a future where you had already time traveled.” Yin Mei explained. She didn't really need to explain, and though she had always wondered before why villains or other characters always liked explaining themselves before trying to kill someone, she now realized why. Because their expressions were too good!
”And in that future, you kill the doctor right before he can complete the cure. Tell me, wouldn't that make you the enemy of humanity?” Yin Mei asked, tilting her head as Lei Han's expression grew ugly. She launched herself forward, bringing her sword down as Lei Han quickly blocked her blade with his gun and knife.
”I don't believe you. That monster creating the cure? Come up with a better lie!” Lei Han growled, using his strength to push Yin Mei back, and she flew threw the air, landing lightly a few feet a way.
”I don't get why you insist that the doctor isn't working toward the creation of the cure. That's been his goal all along. Or, could it be, that your guilt prevents you from thinking that way? Because if it's true, then you can't achieve your revenge?” Yin Mei launched herself again, her sword clashing against Lei Han's knife again and again, her speed so fast that the sword turned into a silver blur.
At the edge of her vision, she saw Lei Han holster his gun, a crackling ball of purple lightning appearing in the palm of his hand. Yin Mei leapt away, summoning a thin shield of pure water in front of her. The lightning hit it, dispersing away harmlessly, barely even making a ripple in the water.
”Wha- how?” Lei Han was truly confused, unable to comprehend how Yin Mei was able to take his attack without even a single blink of the eye.
