Living Dead's

Chapter 22 - Truth

Shen Yuan had no idea how long it had passed. He finally let go of Jiang Qinian and laid him on the cold floor.

He looked like he was sleeping soundly, were it not for his pale skin and the terrible wounds that were on his neck. Shen Yuan scanned his face again, he was relieved at least Jiang Qinian did not show an expression of pain.

Shen Yuan started to stand firm, in his brain spinning a name that made all these tragedies happen.

Guo Bai, Guo Bai, Guo Bai! He's gonna kill her!

Shen Yuan exited the laboratory and ran towards the data storage room. He read all the archives and research data that were inside the computer.

After reading everything, Shen Yuan's countenance became extremely ugly. He could only feel a chill creeping towards his tailbone.

Guo Bai is a despicable beast!

He started to sweat cold. He quickly deletes all existing data, and ensures that the data cannot be recovered.

"Aarr"

Shen Yuan grabbed the chair, smashed it, and destroyed all the computers.

But then-

DOR

Somebody shot him!

The lead bullet pierced through his right chest, causing a wave of hot, burning pain.

He doesn't know when someone else will come. He fell to his knees, clutching tightly at the gunshot wound on his chest.

He turned his head, to look at that person, Guo Bai.

Not caring about his injuries, Shen Yuan charged towards Guo Bai, "Guo Bai you bastard!"

Guo Bai was still standing quietly, he fired another shot towards Shen Yuan's feet, making him immediately fall on the cold floor.

He looked at Guo Bai with hatred in his eyes, there was absolutely no fear. Guo Bai saw it like he was looking at an insect. Slowly approaching and squatting in front of Shen Yuan.

"So you already know that?" He smiled disgustingly.

"How dare... How dare you do that to my wife!"

Guo Bai shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Just a lack of guinea pigs."

Shen Yuan's eyes reddened in restraining her anger, she could only shout, "Damn it! You fucker! What exactly are you doing?!"

Guo Bai smiled again, "You have no right to know."

Some people immediately entered the archive room. They started spilling gasoline on every corner of the research building.

"Because you already know, you better vanish with this place."

Shen Yuan saw Guo Bai drop a match. The fire began to strike, burning all the gasoline-coated objects.

"Rest in peace." After saying that, Guo Bai turned around and started leaving the place.

The room was on fire, all that was visible was fire. But he could still see the silhouette of someone fleeing amongst the black smoke.

Shen Yuan roared towards his figure leaving, "I'll kill you! No matter where you are, I will be your nightmare and kill you!"

Shen Yuan lost a lot of blood, gradually his consciousness began to fade, and his strength began to disappear like a black hole was sucked in.

"Everything out! The lab is going to collapse!"

By the time Shen Yuan regained his senses, he was already lying in a hospital bed.

"Now you've heard it." Shen Yuan looked straight at Xi Zihe. "I don't know what your boss said about me. But if you're looking for someone to do the accountability for the outbreak of this virus, you need to find Guo Bai, the beast."

Xi Zihe was still trying to digest the whole story. Maybe he looked relaxed on the outside, but inside his brain it was full of chaos.

His superior had only instructed him to look for this person named Shen Yuan. Because ten years ago, he was suspected of being the one who created the virus. That's it, he doesn't know anything else. And he didn't think that this was what happened. It wasn't him who did the experiment, but he was the victim, a guinea pig.

"Then why are you saying that your wife died from postpartum bleeding?"

"Because that's what I'm telling everyone. The research was initially conducted abroad. The people in the country have no idea at all, so I can only say that."

Shen Yuan did not say the real reason why Jiang Qinian could die to his parents. He immediately brought back Jiang Qinian's body and cremated him.

Xi Zihe was horrified, "Outside the country? Is..."

Shen Yuan nodded, "Yes, the situation abroad may be the same as our country. It might even be worse."

Xi Zihe managed to swallow with great difficulty.

Xi Zihe suddenly remembered something. "What about Xiao Fei? Does the reason Xiao Fei didn't mutate have anything to do with this?"

Xiao Fei's?

Shen Yuan ignored the call Xi Zihe made to her daughter, and replied, "I have indeed guessed it that way. Because when my wife was pregnant, Guo Bai gave her a small dose of medicine to keep her healthy. Maybe while in the womb, Feifei developed some kind of antibody to that virus."

"Then what happened to that guy?"

"He fled abroad. The police have been looking for him, but have found nothing."

Guo Bai used a mentally ill patient as a guinea pig. This has caused a stir throughout the country. Due to the increasingly heated news, many police personnel were assigned to search for Guo Bai en masse. But Guo Bai's existence vanished, just like that.

Xi Zihe recalled, ten years ago that meant he was 20 years old. He was still in military training, isolated from the news. He had no impression of the incident.

"A lot of people thought he died in the fire." Shen Yuan smiled coldly, "But given the current circumstances, he must not have died."

Xi Zihe glanced at his expression, then recalled as he slashed the zombie neck easily. He opened his mouth, "No. From the beginning you knew he was alive."

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at him with interest, "Oh?"

Xi Zihe glanced at Shen Yuan's fingers, only now did he realize that her fingers were full of scars. "if not? You can't practice with a knife until your fingers are slashed."

Shen Yuan fell silent, then he looked at his finger.

"Indeed, I used to be obsessed with revenge. But I've long forgotten it. If it wasn't for this incident, I probably wouldn't remember it anymore."

It's too painful to remember. To get revenge, it means that he also has to remember the reason why he took revenge. And finally he will remember the moments of death of his loved ones again.

But due to the coercion of this person named Xi Zihe, Shen Yuan reopened her old wounds. Suddenly he felt annoyed, he looked at Xi Zihe with cold eyes.

What was? Why does he see me like that?

Xi Zihe could only feel perplexed when he saw Shen Yuan's gaze.
