Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 478: Liu Peng's Past



"Oh."

As the two of them exited the tent together, Xiaoyun immediately noticed all of the soldiers completely chained up.

From the mouth all the way to their legs, it was the most secure detainment he had ever seen.

"You guys might be wondering why you are all detained, and some of you might even recognize each other.

I'm going to be straight with you. There is evidence of corruption from you guys.

But not just any corruption. Corruption with outsiders has been reported in the newspaper as a terrorist organization."

Within seconds, all four of the Colonels, along with Xiaoyun, could notice several of them panicking a little.

Some looked confused, while others looked relieved as if they were expecting this to happen one day.

"You all will be temporarily detained until evidence proves you innocent or guilty due to the high risk.

I assume none of you object to this. Tan Pi, remove the mouth guard and let them talk."

As soon as Tan Pi removed one of the mouthguards from the soldier, they immediately started speaking out.

"Please, Commander, I knew what I did was wrong. I confess to everything.

Please, I have the elderly above and the young below. My entire family depends on my income——"

"You traitor! I can't believe you're a crook. I knew I should have never pleaded with them to promote you."

Tan Pi angrily slapped the soldier right on the face, stopping the first soldier from talking as he released the second one.

"You got me commander. I'm as guilty as charged."

Bai Bing shook his head in disappointment, unable to show his face to Xiaoyun in embarrassment.

After removing all of their mouthguards, all four of the Colonels hid their face in embarrassment.

They couldn't believe all of them had confessed their guilt without trying to defend themselves.

However, Xiaoyun didn't seem interested in corruption, and most of them didn't seem to know they were bribed by the secret society either.

"Do any of you know the connection to what happened yesterday?"

They all immediately shook their heads as if they knew that the accident was way worse than a corruption charge.

"Tell the logistic department and drive them back to Luoping... They'll get their justice in the court."

Tan Pi nodded as he hurried the soldiers back into the van and drove it back to his camp.

After waiting for a few minutes, Tan Pi finally returned by himself.

"Okay, since you four are here, I'm going to announce that Yezi will be back after next week.

He will be your general again... I know some of you may disagree with his policy, but he has proven his ability to command.

I have concluded that the accident was not his fault. This is my final verdict, and I hope all of you respect it."

The four colonels sat in silence as they didn't know where to start, especially Mingxu and Ningjing.

They wanted to disagree with Xiaoyun, but after everything and all of the spies that had been uncovered, it was hard to argue back.

Even though there wasn't a real connection between the spies and the accident, they could feel there was some sort of indirect connection.

"I'll assign a special counsel from Renqin's and Xiaoyue's department to continue the investigation into the accident.

In the meantime, I want you to respect Yezi's commander as if I'm here. Do you all understand me?"

After a short silence, the four of them finally spoke up.

"Yes, sir."

"Very well. You'll all dismissed... You all can resume the operation tomorrow."

As the four colonels left the tent, Xiaoyun took out a piece of paper from his jacket.

Looking down at the list of names, he had only called twenty of them when the list went on for over a hundred of them.

However, he only named the highest-ranking offenders, not wanting to disrupt the fragile situation in Zhaoqing.

It would take him a while to gather all of the evidence and then arrest them in accordance with the military court.

He had already gone over the law with his arrest, rules that he had agreed to follow himself.

"They even admitted fault... I'm only serving justice." Xiaoyun murmured to himself as he folded the paper back into his jacket.

After putting everything back into the drawers, he quickly left the tent and went to the field hospital again.

This time, he didn't see a cloaked figure standing outside. Instead, he found the two of them inside.

Chen Gang was resting on the bed, unconscious, while Liu Peng was sitting in a seat beside him.

"How did the surgery go?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"He's alive..."

Seeing Liu Peng look a little down, Xiaoyun remained silent as he grabbed a seat and sat down next to him.

"I'm sorry if this is the wrong time to ask this, but what happened after you guys left Luoping?"

After a short silence, Liu Peng finally spoke up.

"We made it to the lab in Longxue Island, just like how your wife Kate told us it was a place we could run to."

Liu Peng paused for a second as he waited for Xiaoyun to react, but all he got was silence from him.

"After we ran to Longxue Island and met up with one of the scientists, they suddenly chained us to a seat.

Before we knew it, they started injecting all kinds of stuff into our body, conducting tests on us like lab rats."

Once again, Liu Peng looked a little surprised as he expected Xiaoyun to make fun of them.

But he remained silent, waiting for Liu Peng to continue the story.

"After testing for who knows how long, they suddenly stopped, letting us leave the lab.

However, they gave us a mission we needed to do... Gathering zombies samples from the city."

"What kind of zombie samples? And why didn't you just leave instead of working for them?"

Xiaoyun curiously asked, finally breaking his silence.

"They made us take an addictive drug that we couldn't live without... And we usually just return to them with a whole chunk of zombie meat."

Liu Peng paused for a second, then continued.

"Can I tell you something? But I need to promise that you won't kill or punish us for it."

After a short thought, Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.

"I haven't killed you two earlier. I don't have a reason to kill now... Just say it, and I won't punish you for it."

"We both are actually blending into zombies perfectly... Like when we walk near them, they don't attack us at all."

Xiaoyun froze for a second as he immediately knew what kind of condition Liu Peng was talking about.

"Chen Gang and I were both scared, but we eventually realized the zombies consider us a part of them for some reason.

And as a disclaimer, we don't eat humans at all. We still need to eat human food and everything."

"You sure? Have you put a human flesh in front of you and tried it?"

Liu Peng nodded before suddenly pulling up his sleeve and showing his hand right before him.

"We have a lot of mutation on our body, but we aren't zombies... I think we're just mutants at this point."

Xiaoyun slowly nodded as Liu Peng's hand had a bunch of sharp nails, almost like a claw.

"Wait, did you tell this to the doctor?"

Xiaoyun questioned as he remembered all kinds of blood bags being carried in.

"Chen Gang has a different mutant than me... And no, our blood can't turn humans into zombies."

Xiaoyun let out a sigh of relief as he got a little worried for a second that the doctors might have gotten infected from the operation.

"Your's is claw mutant. What's Chen Gang's mutant, then?"

"He... He can tell you when he wakes up."

Seeing Liu Peng not wanting to say it, Xiaoyun didn't pressure him to say it.

"Why did you two decide to leave that secret society then?" Alex curiously asked.

"We... We actually returned to the lab area and noticed you guys had raided the lab in Longxue Island.

So, we started suffering from withdrawal since we couldn't get the drug. But after a while, we recovered and decided to get our revenge."

"Revenge? Shouldn't Yuqi be your biggest revenge target?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

"We forgot about her a long time ago already... Those scientists are the people who have done this pain to us."

As Liu Peng moved his cloak aside to reveal his body, Xiaoyun was in complete shock.

Almost a third of the muscle on his body was missing, and his skin was completely disfigured compared to human skin on his face.

More importantly, his manhood was completely gone, with not a single trace of it at all.

"God damn... They really fucked you two up hard." Xiaoyun murmured as he held down the urge to throw up.

"We only want to ask for one thing. Let us kill one of those scientist when you encounter them." Liu Peng pleaded.

"Sure, but that one in Longxue is already all dead. You can get revenge on the other ones.

Actually, can I ask you a question about something? I have been confused by this thing since you two talked about the spies."

"Sure, I'll try my best to answer it... But neither of us actually knows much about how the secret society functions."
