Chapter 116 : Zombie Empire 30 (1/2)

All sources seemed to point towards Mt. Jinfeng as the cause. And Cheng Song had already investigated the history of Mt. Jinfeng. That mountain had been bought a lot time ago but the buyer’s identity wasn’t known. However, it was certain that it didn’t belong to the country. After Shi Sheng had handled everything that needed to be handled, she brought a division of her zombie troops towards Mt. Jinfeng.

Mt. Jinfeng was shaped like a phoenix so it was named Jinfeng[1]. From below, Shi Sheng found that it looked familiar. She made Qian Li teleport her around so she could view it from different angles. In the end, Qian Li teleported her into a cave. Looking out from it, Shi Sheng remembered that it was the place where she had first met Qian Li after being ambushed by Qi Mingxue.

“Qian Li, do you know anywhere particularly odd in the area?” Qian Li had disappeared together with Mo Wen and re-appeared at Mt. Jinfeng, which had been mentioned by Cheng Su. Perhaps he had been here all along…

Qian Li gave a genuine and harmless smile as he stared at Shi Sheng’s hand. All that was left was for him to shout for food.

Shi Sheng was speechless. ‘At such a serious time, you still want to eat?! Why I oughta-

Never mind. Just eat.’

The giant baby Zombie Emperor who had had his fill teleported Shi Sheng to a spacious area. It looked like an abandoned laboratory; there were all sorts of scientific apparatus inside.

“Where is this?” ‘Inside Mt. Jinfeng?’

“The place I lived.” Qian Li spoke slowly before pulling her towards a corridor that lead away. With some confusion in his voice, he spoke, “There were a lot of people here once… don’t know where they went.”

Qian Li was very familiar with this place as he gave her a tour around the entire facility.

There was a lot of dust here; it looked like this place had been abandoned for a long time. Some places were in a mess, proving the occupants had been in a rush to leave. No… they had been running for their lives.

Shi Sheng searched the entire facility before finding a letter in a room. On the letter was her name.

To Gu Nan,

I am your father, Mo Wen. If you are reading this letter, if proves you are together with it. As expected, you are special.

Regardless of why you are investigating this matter, you must believe that only the New World’s arrival will mean true redemption…

The letter was very official sounding but it managed to give a clear explanation. Back then, the one who had been labelled as crazy was Mo Wen’s father. And he had inherited his father’s dying wishes. After he returned from his studies, he revived this project.

Injecting Cheng Su with Qian Li’s genes had been an accident but it had been because of this accident that they had discovered infants would not show signs of genetic rejection.

This discovery caused everyone in the research team to rejoice. However, soon afterwards, word came from above that someone wanted to take over this project.

Mo Wen loved Cheng Su. He knew what would happen if he handed her over so he made preparations to send Cheng Su out. He managed to get her out before the new overseer arrived before leaving together with Qian Li.

His father had set up this laboratory in Mt. Jinfeng long ago. He brought Cheng Su here to continue his research. But Cheng Su was afraid that harm would befall her child so she escaped when he wasn’t paying attention. She gave birth to the child before entrusting her to the Gu household. She hadn’t returned to the laboratory after that though.

Mo Wen only managed to find Cheng Su a few years later. At that point, she had gone insane. After much investigation, he discovered that Cheng Su had been caught on the way back after dropping off the child.

Those people brought her back to a laboratory and wanted to force Qian Li and Mo Wen’s whereabouts from her.

Mo Wen said he took Cheng Su away to a faraway place. He had already finished the task his father handed to him. The final part of the letter was about Qian Li. Shi Sheng noticed that the day Qian Li awoke just so happened to be the day Gu Nan was born!

Qian Li didn’t attack people when he awoke. He didn’t need to eat either. He would just stare at a direction all day.

‘This weird ability probably has something to do with Qian Li…’

After he awoke, Mo Wen’s team had been guarded at first though in the end, they simply allowed him to wander as he wished in the facility.
