Chapter 1332: An Ordinary Extra Dies an Ordinary Death
“Da-da-da…”
The gunfire from beyond the Protective Wall continued, but inside the Falcon Camp, everything remained orderly.
War was no longer a novelty for the Survivors here. At most, they calmly went about their business while sighing to each other, “It’s louder than usual today.”
Inside the Command Headquarters, Zhang Dongyao was standing at the door of a room, smoking.
The Laboratory Director had gone to find a doctor, and as Falcon Members passed by, they chatted while curiously glancing toward the doorway.
Zhang Dongyao irritably flicked his cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it hard under his foot. “That troublesome Wang Lin!”
She was supposed to look after and protect Anan, yet at a time like this, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Dongyao turned to glance into the room… Anan was lying on the sofa, her thin body curled up, hands clasped together on her chest. She looked peaceful, not like someone suddenly struck by illness. But why did she have to faint at this moment?
Looking at Anan’s fluttering eyelashes, Zhang Dongyao felt a sudden surge of violence for no reason.
He wanted to grab this little girl’s Hair and throw her out.
Maybe it was the sudden shock, or maybe it was the little girl’s ever-calm gaze that made him uncomfortable.
Ever since arriving in X City, she would often inexplicably look in a certain direction, wearing that calm expression.
He wanted to question her harshly: “What the hell are you looking at!”
“Hoo…” Zhang Dongyao forcibly suppressed his anger.
It’s fine. It’ll all be over soon…
To minimize the final variables, he had even sacrificed Anan’s own brother.
How laughable, that man’s expression of heroically dying for his sister… How could he know, it was all just to keep Anan absolutely under his control.
Was luring away those Zombies really the only way?
It’s just that when someone stepped up to sacrifice themselves, the others simply accepted it.
So… aren’t they all hypocrites?
Including that brother. Even in his own eyes, he was just another hypocrite.
He was simply afraid of losing his spiritual anchor. When he died for it, he was moved by his own “noble” act.
That’s all.
And these people here… they’re so naive.
Seeing the relaxed expressions on their faces, Zhang Dongyao felt like he was back at the Central Region Camp.
But… when they find out what really happened at the Central Region Camp, will they still be able to smile?
As he thought, Zhang Dongyao couldn’t help clenching his fists.
If he didn’t, he might not be able to suppress a twisted laugh…
“She’ll be fine.” A girl’s voice came from behind him.
Zhang Dongyao instinctively showed a trace of anxious gratitude in his smile. He turned to the girl, “Doctor, you’re finally here. You don’t know, this child is very important…” ŘᴀNǑ𝔟Е𝘴
“Yes, she’s very important,” the girl nodded.
But after speaking, Zhang Dongyao sensed something was off. The girl was indeed wearing a white coat and a mask, but… how did she suddenly appear behind him?
He’d been paying attention to his surroundings!
To him, Anan was his greatest bargaining chip-he would never relax his guard. But this girl…
Just as Zhang Dongyao was about to retreat, he saw the girl’s eyes curve into a smile. Then, a Red Glimmer flashed in one of her eyes.
His heart skipped a beat. In that instant, his mind went blank.
How could there be a Zombie here?
The next moment, he saw a red shadow flash from those eyes, and a sharp Scythe slashed toward him.
Scythe… where had he heard that before?
That was Zhang Dongyao’s last thought before losing consciousness.
Then the door closed. People bustled through the Corridor, but no one noticed what had happened.
When Zhang Dongyao opened the door and appeared again, his expression was already different.
The previous Zhang Dongyao looked troubled but determined. In a way, he didn’t think he was pretending.
But now, Zhang Dongyao seemed relaxed, yet a bit stiff.
He twisted his neck, moved his limbs, then rubbed his face, forcing a strange but casual smile.
The girl in the white coat also walked out from behind him. “Alright, the area around the wound has been cleaned. No one will notice.”
She was referring to a fresh red wound on Zhang Dongyao’s neck. A few minutes ago, she had slit his throat with her finger the moment he lost consciousness and injected her virus.
“This body can last two hours at most. That’s the limit,” the girl said.
But Zhang Dongyao nodded in satisfaction. “That’s enough. If he weren’t a superhuman, he’d probably already be rotting after your Infection.”
Superhumans really were a special group, like Zombies with reason and humanity.
This thought had occurred to him more than once, but after learning about the ‘Laboratory’ concept, things felt more complicated.
At this moment, Zhang Dongyao-or rather, Ling Mo-felt exactly that way.
As for Zhang Dongyao himself, he was already dead.
After hearing Wang Lin’s account, Ling Mo was sure this Zhang Dongyao deserved to die.
No matter what he’d done or how ambitious he was, in front of Ling Mo, he was just a minor character who could be killed at any time.
Ling Mo didn’t even bother to question him… People who die from overblown ambition don’t even deserve last words.
“What now?” Under the mask was Xia Na’s face… She quite liked this disguise. If not for the Cataclysm, she might really have become a doctor.
Ling Mo pulled a file from Zhang Dongyao’s pocket and smiled. “Honestly, I find Falcon’s reaction pretty interesting. Another interesting thing is that little girl.”
With that, Ling Mo turned to look at the little girl. By now, she should have woken up…
“Little sister, how long are you going to pretend to be asleep?” Ling Mo didn’t even close the door, just turned around at the doorway and asked with a cheerful smile.
Anan trembled all over, slowly opened her eyes, then sat up and hugged her knees.
Her first words were: “You’re not him…”
