She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

But it shouldn’t be the Virtual World anymore.

There’s actually a big difference between the two, but she couldn’t quite express it.

The willow branches on her body were increasing, and just when she felt she was about to die, they suddenly released her. Seeing the people coming, she breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t Bei Chen, but a group of uniformed people. They didn’t bother her much, focusing on dealing with the mutated willow tree.

First, they sprayed an unknown agent, which seemed to significantly weaken the tree’s attack, making it much easier to handle afterward.

Soon, the school’s crisis was resolved.

Yun Rou looked at Wen Chulin being taken away and felt a lingering fear from the earlier scene.

Zombie Bei Chen had many underlings, and while eliminating mutated creatures, they also made contact with the authorities. Now, both sides were cooperating.

Their prepared agent could currently only weaken the mutated creatures’ attacks, not reaching the effectiveness in the Virtual World, so they had to research anew. Before that, the only option was controlling zombies, while they couldn’t do anything about the mutated creatures, opting for extermination as a precaution.

Outside Xie Fuguang’s villa, many people suddenly arrived, and he noticed immediately.

Through the surveillance, he saw the leader was the same person he saw on the screen resembling Bei Chen, and he was momentarily stunned.

"Xie Fuguang, I called them here. They’re here to collect data, let them in." Ah Chen spoke at this time.

Xie Fuguang didn’t feel those people had any malice, and upon hearing Ah Chen’s words, he opened the door right away.

"Do you want to know what our relationship is?" Ah Chen asked with a smile, "Come out and meet me, and I’ll tell you."

Xie Fuguang’s expression turned serious: "No, I don’t."

"When you handed over the data to us, did you intend to self-destruct?"

"Why not try?" Ah Chen asked, "Trust me once, maybe you won’t run into any problems? If you really can’t control it later, you can destroy it then, I won’t stop you at that time."

"Ending the apocalypse and restoring zombies to humans is your dream, right? Participating in that experiment will surely accelerate your dream."

"Aren’t you afraid to destroy yourself, but afraid of them? You saw how powerful they are before; you may not be able to contend with them."

Xie Fuguang fell silent; if he had a choice, he wouldn’t want destruction.

She was right; his dream was indeed to end the apocalypse and restore those who turned into zombies.

"Why not try a bit harder?" Ah Chen asked, Zombie Bei Chen also brought people inside, waiting in the living room.

Xie Fuguang finally said: "Alright."

He was moved by these words, even considering things he had never imagined before.

Previously, he had some attachment to this world, but not exceptionally so. Now, he felt very attached and didn’t want to give up.

He took a deep breath and pressed a button, causing an elevator to rise at a certain spot in the living room. He said to Ah Chen, "You all come."

Ah Chen was already in the living room when the elevator opened and walked in first.

The people Zombie Bei Chen brought paused upon seeing her but didn’t say much. They were born in the Virtual World, emerging because of the apocalypse, which the king explained to them.

Thus, this human woman is actually their king.

In this world, they have their own territory, and once things stabilize here, they’ll return to their kingdom.

It was personally constructed by the king, and it’s their own sanctuary, specially prepared for those who originated from the Virtual World.

The king considered everything thoroughly, forever someone worthy of following.

The elevator descended an unknown number of meters, taking about two minutes before stopping.

The elevator opened, and Ah Chen saw Xie Fuguang waiting at the door, two identical people standing in front of him, both staring at him, making him very uncomfortable.

How can they look so alike?

Except for the pupils, it was impossible to distinguish who was who.

Ah Chen saw his expression and laughed, speaking simultaneously with Zombie Bei Chen: "I am Bei Chen."

Xie Fuguang was dazed, quickly realizing they were the same person.

"I am a zombie," said Zombie Bei Chen.

Ah Chen spoke: "I am human."

Yet both were controlled by her soul, thus one being.

"If you turn into a zombie, I’ll date you as a zombie. If you can turn back into a human, I’ll date you as a human. How about that?" Ah Chen leaned closer and asked.

Xie Fuguang was speechless; he’d never encountered anything like this before and didn’t know how to react, but he didn’t want to reject her.

"Since you don’t object, let’s settle it: we start dating now."

What?

Xie Fuguang was bewildered; are they dating now? Is this how dating works? He had no experience in this aspect and didn’t know how others handled it. He had been immersed in his hobbies since childhood, not caring about outside matters.

"Those who came today are the original researchers of the agent. Next, whatever you need, they’ll prepare it. Collaborate on the research," Ah Chen said. "During this period, I’ll also be here with you, Zombie Bei Chen needs to go out, so he won’t be here."

Xie Fuguang stammered: "I have no issues regarding the experiment; if you need to be busy, just go ahead."

No need to stay with him.

"That’s not possible; couples must be together. I’m just a normal person now; where do you want me to be busy? There’s chaos everywhere with many mutated plants outside; it’s the time that tests humanity the most, easy to die if you go out."

Xie Fuguang became tense and quickly said: "Then, stay here. It’s safe; don’t wander off. Unless there’s a strong weapon for bombing, there won’t be issues. This place is a few hundred meters deep; regular buildings can’t bomb here. There are escape passages here too... If something really happens, I’ll have the robots take you to safety, whether by tunneling, flying, or swimming, it’s all possible. You don’t need to worry about safety here."

After saying this, he saw the person in front of him smiling with eyes bent, feeling something very special inside, suddenly wanting to try. Even if he couldn’t return to human form, becoming a zombie, he didn’t want to lose human consciousness.

Determination flashed in Xie Fuguang’s eyes; he must hold on.

"Okay," Ah Chen replied with a smile, "I trust you; you’ll definitely protect me well, after all, you’re my boyfriend now."

Xie Fuguang was still uncomfortable but didn’t disagree with her words.

Ah Chen wasted no time and immediately arranged for the researchers to get to work.

Xie Fuguang also wanted to act quickly, ending this dreadful apocalypse, restoring peace to the world, suppressing all emotions, and becoming serious.

He called over a robot, giving its permissions to Ah Chen: "Whatever you need, ask it."

"What’s its name?"

Xie Fuguang said seriously: "Dummy Number One."
