One more chapter later tonight! By the way, I fixed up all the previous mistakes from chapters 90 - 130 with the help of a reader, Yorben. Thank you for letting me know. So all the confusing parts on the bridge have been clarified.

“You thought of a way to kill the Variant Zombie? It runs quickly and can also swim. We can't go underwater to kill it.” Yin He said to Liu Gan.

“That is why we need to split up for it to work. I will be bait, whereas you will have to stand far away from my location and hide yourself. However, you must keep me within your sight. If I stand there dumbfounded without moving an inch, then you will look nearby for the presence of this Variant Zombie.” Liu Gan explained his plan.

Aside from Xu ChangHui stealing the yacht, this Variant Zombie was also an annoyance. So tonight, he must think of a way to kill it. After eliminating the threat, he would set his sights on opening the alloy door and entering the secret laboratory.

Otherwise, they were busy for no reason.

“Okay.” Yin He agreed as they split up.

Liu Gan wasn't sure if this assassination would be successful, since he didn’t know how much intelligence this Variant Zombie had. Whether or not it would fall for it, they would only know by trying.

Liu Gan roamed the island alone, walking to the dock while keeping his distance from the water, and made a few round trips back and forth between the main building and the dock. Whenever he returned to the main building, he would confirm the condition of the members inside the lobby each time. Wang DeCheng appointed another four team members for the night shift.

Two hours passed, and it started getting darker into the night. However, the Variant Zombie had yet to show itself. Perhaps, Yin He had alerted the Variant Zombie earlier when it almost got killed. Now that it had been alerted, it might not appear again tonight. As Liu Gan went for his last attempt by the riverside, he heard some strange activities taking place behind him.

Turning around, he saw that the person behind him wasn't Yin He. It also wasn't the Variant Zombie, but it was someone he was very familiar with.

Liu Gan’s brother, Liu Kun.

The hallucinations had begun. Liu Gan had thought about who he might encounter during his hallucination. It turned out to be his brother Liu Kun.

“I know you must be curious about that year when we went mountain climbing, where your sleeping bag mysteriously disappeared.” Liu Kun reached into his suit pocket as he walked closer to Liu Gan.
