Apocalypse King System

Chapter 168 168: Mutated Zombies

Derick's heart stirred as he looked at the slight bulge in the woman's abdomen. Nodding silently, he untied the restraints on the woman's body. This request was something he could fulfill. He wasn't afraid of the woman suddenly turning into a zombie; even if it happened abruptly, he could ensure that no one would get hurt.

"Thank you. You're a good person," the woman said, sitting up and expressing her gratitude in a soft tone.

Derick shook his head. Was he a good person? Not really. He was more like a bad person. There were quite a few who had died at his hands, both human and zombie. He only did what he felt was right and what he wanted to do.

The woman seemed a bit weak as she walked toward the entrance of the re

After ensuring that Yang Yiping couldn't escape, Derick lost interest in staying further. He turned around and walked out of the research facility, returning to the surface, basking in the sunlight. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly asked, "Xu Qing, did you record all the videos?"

"Yes, Master, everything is recorded. Do you need it now?"

Derick waved his hand in refusal, then turned his gaze towards the direction of the wire mesh fence, sighed, and flew back to the hospital.

Xu Qing neatly stowed away the USB drive and glanced at the figure of her master flying away. For a moment, she seemed a bit infatuated, then turned and beckoned to the other female warriors.

"Let's go. We're heading back. Take a good break this afternoon. We might have to go outside the wire mesh to kill off the remaining zombies."

Xu Qing, as the captain, took the lead, with the other female warriors following behind. The hundreds of women swiftly ran towards the hospital. Behind them, countless zombies were lurking near the wire mesh. Among them, an inconspicuous female zombie had a slender figure with a slightly widened waist, indicating a bit of weight gain. However, it wasn't severe. The zombies approaching during the journey instinctively avoided this figure. The eerie silhouette of the female zombie walked farther and farther away until it eventually disappeared into the vast sea of corpses.

It seemed like she wanted to explore a broader world.

Returning to the second floor of the hospital base, Derick, wearing slippers and assisted by several maids, sat down on the sofa. Angelica, who was concentrating on writing something, looked up and asked, "How did it go? Is it resolved?"

Thinking of everything he witnessed in the underground research facility, Derick nodded with a heavy heart. Judy, who was sitting beside him, noticed Derick's displeased expression. She crawled into his arms and asked with concern, "Master, did something happen to make you unhappy?"

Angelica also noticed that her brother's expression was off. She set down her pen and walked over, placing her hands on his without saying a word.

Derick recounted everything he saw and heard in the research facility. The women in the living room turned pale upon hearing it. Judy, being timid, directly nestled into Derick's arms, her small head tucked like a little quail, continuously murmuring.

"So scary, too scary. Fortunately, I wasn't caught."

Derick comforted her by patting the back of the loli girl. He whispered, "Don't be too scared; this is just an isolated case. Besides, isn't there still me? Anyone who dares to have such twisted ideas will be dealt with."

"That woman is indeed pitiful, especially her unborn child. They didn't get a chance to see this world, and the child died before being born," Lisa sighed beside them.

"In fact, not being born might be a kind of happiness, especially for a baby in this apocalyptic world. It's a burden, both for the baby and the parents," Angelica reasoned. Her words carried a certain truth—babies were too vulnerable in these times.
