Heavy eyes, heavy body, sore muscles. Even though he clearly just woke up, he was as tired as though he hadn’t rest for a full week of pulling all-nighters. A voice coming from the watch on his wrist interrupt his thoughts.
“Doctor Qian, captain Fen said he made a decision.”
“…”
“Please come quickly.”
The voice urged when he didn’t respond. A little disorientated, he sat down on the bed, as much as he could pushing things here and there to have room. He then looked at the device on his wrist and pressed the single button on it, before talking,
“All right, I’m coming.”
The voice coming from his own mouth was that of a woman, even though it was somewhat tired and coarse.
The bedroom he was in was not only confined but quite packed. Even the bedroom didn’t have anymore space. All around him, there were huge crystal containers filled with green liquid and strange animals inside. There were tables by the left, filled with test tubes. On the bed he was sitting, there were many books taking almost al the space. They were about genes’ mutations, genetics, chimeras and so on…. Near him were pen and pencils and a paper that was used not too long ago. More than saying this person went to sleep, it was likely that she fell that she was so tired she fainted while writing!
As he was getting up, he browsed through his mind.
This was an apocalyptic world with zombie themes and evolution. The protagonist of this world was Fu Mei, a young researcher in A Uni’s lab. She was in there when the explosion occurred and particles entered the atmosphere. Debris had knocked her down and she had fainted. When she woke up, the world as she knew it had long changed to one filled with undead walking down the streets everywhere. The story followed her survival as she searched for her friends, family or at the very least any kind of survivor. With a stroke of luck, she stumbled upon Captain Fen’s survival group who taught her some things after she panicked seeing the members summon things like water, fire or wood. She was explained then that some people awakened abilities. Yet, no matter what she ate, nuclei or whatever was its name, there was nothing that she could summon. They were researching a base. It was later, in a critical moment, that it was found that Fu Mei had healing abilities, letting those who had been wounded restored their previous state. It was found too that if she used her power mere seconds after one was bitten or scratched by a zombie, he wouldn’t turn into one. This, however, worked only for humans. So, when her dog got transformed, it served nothing and she had to kill it to save her companions.
Captain Fen’s body, however, was quite unique. When wounded, he could return back to his healthy state without the help of Fu Mei’s healing ability. However, this changing only served his own body, he he couldn’t help his companions. His powers couldn’t be shared.
In these hard times, humanity became worse than beasts, so powers like that were preciously hidden. Nonetheless, no matter the amount of precaution taken, others still discovered both Fu Mei and Fen Xun miraculous healing abilities and both of them were chased everywhere they went. Finally, when some of their groups’ members betrayed them, they were ambushed and brought to M city’s laboratory where reportedly, inhuman tests were done on people. When they tried to break free, the person in charge there killed some of their friends, and threatened to kill the rest if they didn’t cooperate. Claiming that anesthetic would ruin the desire results, these people tortured them in the name of science, not giving them any kind of pain suppressant.
Fu Mei befriended one of the military men there and talked sense into him, going as far as turning back to normally his friend who was bitten and on the verge of transforming. Colonel Rui. With his help, they freed the rest of the people and rescued others, burning down the whole lab and its diverse monsters inside. Together, they constructed a safe base where everyone was treated equally. Captain Fen and Fu Mei ended together while the other boys who fell in love with her just pin on her silently.
Now who was he supposed to be?
He seemed to be Qian Lin. The very woman director of this laboratory, and namely the one given orders around here, the one responsible for said inhuman treatments and tortures. She was the head of researchers and also the reason of this apocalypse in the first place. The villain of the story.
Her fate wasn’t all pretty after Colonel Rui’s abandonment. She was made to test her means of torture, after delighting themselves in her suffering, they broke her feet and let her at the mercy of zombie, dying an agonizing death.
Opening his eyes after absorbing it whole, his mind was clear now: his target was Qian Lin. His identity was that of Qian Lin too, meaning, this time, he was a she.
