Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 555 Even the Zombie King Has a Weakness 32

The next morning, Zhao Zhao didn't train his abilities at the training hall. Instead, he eagerly went to Xu Qianbai's laboratory to help him.

The young man in white in the lab was still working against the clock on his research. Zhao Zhao couldn't understand the complex numbers and programs, so he hugged Xu Qianbai's leg and shook it, anxiously asking, "Brother Xu, how's your research going?"

Xu Qianbai lowered his head and forced a smile. Zhao Zhao knew that this meant things weren't going well.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you? I have a lot of blood, why don't you draw another tube?"

Not long ago, Zhao Zhao donated a small vial of blood for research. Now, he suspects that not enough blood was drawn. He rolls up his sleeves, stands on tiptoe, and tries to hold the vial in front of Xu Qianbai, saying generously, "Don't be shy, draw more this time. I'm not afraid of pain."

Xu Qianbai paused, a helpless smile on his pale face. "Thank you, Zhaozhao, but the problem isn't with your blood."

You can't learn anything from blood.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Zhao felt like the sky had fallen. Human research had made no progress, and the upgrading of superpowers couldn't keep up with the evolution of zombies. If things continued like this, just as his brother had said, even without the Zombie King, humanity still wouldn't survive for long.

Xu Qianbai was also in despair. He pushed Zhaozhao out of the laboratory and laughed, "The laboratory doesn't need your help anymore."

"This is an adult matter; you children shouldn't worry about it."

He gently patted Zhao Zhao's head and placed the disinfected and cleaned basketball in her hand: "Now take your little basketball and go play with your friends."

Under the bright sunshine, Zhao Zhao walked back to the path where he had met his brother the day before.

The path was secluded and deserted; the only sound was the "bang bang bang" of Zhao Zhao dribbling the basketball.

He didn't go to play with his friends. He spent several days playing basketball here. Finally, on the third day, when he came to this place, he saw a cold and aloof boy with his hands in his pockets under the streetlight at the end of the indifferent path. His silver eyes were quietly looking at him, as if he had no emotions at all.

Zhao Zhao was incredibly confident in her brother's unchanging love for her.

"Waaah, brother." With red eyes and a red nose, he threw himself into the boy's cold arms. Everyone feared the zombie king, but only this child dared to approach him without any scruples.

Yu Anchu remained motionless, her pale fingers slowly brushing aside the child's hair, and said casually, "Have you had enough fun? Want to go back with me?" Her voice, which had been hoarse from not speaking for a long time, was slightly hoarse.

During the time his younger brother was away, Yu Anchu secretly came to the training base to see him. A few days ago, he heard that Zhaozhao wanted a basketball, so he brought it over.

He entered the base both to get a closer look at him and to test whether Zhao Zhao wanted to see him. Now it seems that Zhao Zhao wants to see him, but he still doesn't seem to want to go back with him.

"Brother," Zhao Zhao cried desperately, clutching Yu Anchu's feet, "Is there really no way to save humanity?"

"Is humanity destined to perish? Is there really no way to save them?"

Yu Anchu knelt down, her icy fingers gently wiping away Zhao Zhao's tears through her sleeve, her indifferent eyes remaining calm: "Yes."

“!” Zhao Zhao’s crying stopped abruptly, and Yu Anchu continued, “But why should I tell you?”

"I said a long time ago that I hate humans."

"You're lying!" Zhao Zhao threw herself into Yu Anchu's arms: "You've clearly been managing the restless zombies all along. You don't hate them. You're protecting them."

"Zhaozhao." Yu Anchu wiped his tears expressionlessly, like a machine: "I just hate them. I manage the zombies only because I want to protect your last bit of innocence and kindness."

"I'm just willing to make some concessions for you."

He was willing to spend months weaving a beautiful dream for Zhao Zhao, but now the dream is about to end, and Zhao Zhao should return to reality and come back to his side.

"Humanity has no hope. Come back with me."

He reached out to Zhaozhao again, but she refused once more.

"Brother, what was the method you just mentioned that could save humanity?"

Of all those words, Zhao Zhao only took in this one sentence. Yu Anchu closed her eyes, unsure of the complex emotions swirling within her.
