Chapter 904: The Way Things Often Unfold
“Is that so… Well, I can roughly imagine what happened next…”
Before Ling Mo could finish his sentence, the woman in white let out a chilling chuckle. “Imagine it? Do you really think you can imagine someone else’s experiences? You assumed that Fang Ying stopped me, right? Actually, she didn’t. She didn’t say a word. She just stood there, watching me walk away. Maybe she was scared, maybe she was despairing over what was happening downstairs, or maybe she felt some kind of pity for me… I don’t know. My emotions were so complex at the time that I can’t even describe how I felt. In fact, I can’t even remember how I left the warehouse. Funny, isn’t it? After mutating, I should have recalled every detail, but even now, it still feels like that moment was nothing more than a dream…”
“This phenomenon probably has little to do with the experience itself,” Ling Mo thought to himself. “The process of zombification can almost be described as destruction and rebirth. It’s natural for parts of your memory to remain hazy during that time. What’s more impressive is you-recollecting so much and holding on to your feelings and thoughts as you were mutating. That’s what’s truly remarkable…”
The woman in white continued, “The moment I walked out, clutching my wound, I felt completely abandoned by the world. Even when hiding from zombies, I’d never felt such despair… As a human, I was utterly lost. I was terrified of becoming a zombie, but at the same time, I didn’t want to die like that… I was so weak back then-I didn’t even have the courage to end things myself…”
“And in the end, you fully mutated. What about Fang Ying? And those people from the Rosen Company-what happened to them?” Ling Mo finally couldn’t hold back and interrupted her. From what she described, it wasn’t hard to conclude that Fang Ying and the others had parted ways with her. But right now, their corpses were all laid out in this bloody little theater. What could have happened?
Could it be that after her full mutation, the woman in white went back and slaughtered them all?
“They? Heh, of course they followed me out. Is there a better decoy than an injured infected person? After I left the second floor, Fang Ying led the others, following me as we fled together. They stayed far behind, using me to escape from the Rosen Company… To achieve their goal, they didn’t even hesitate to lure more zombies toward me. I almost died. But unfortunately for them, I didn’t. And as for the final outcome, well, you’ve seen it yourself…”
The woman in white reached out and “gently” stroked Fang Ying’s head, saying, “Their plan failed. And because of that, I was forced to accelerate my mutation process. When I finished mutating, I was holding onto her head, trying to tear her jaw off. Heh… At that moment, she was crying and shouting, calling me ‘sister’ and begging me not to kill her…”
“Hard to believe, isn’t it? Honestly, it is for me, too… Many times, it feels like it’s someone else’s story. But…” She abruptly turned her head, her blood-red eyes glaring intensely at Ling Mo. “You made me remember it! You made me relive those emotions! Tell me, what did you do to me? What did you do?!”
