Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 160 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (13)

"What a surprise! You all arrived much earlier than I expected!" The level seven zombie still had a smile on his face, as if dealing with Si Yan and the others was just a matter of raising his hand.

Before anyone could react to his words, he continued, "I wonder what brings you here? Feel free to tell me, perhaps I can help you."

For a moment, no one dared to respond to his words, after all, no one knew what this almost human-like zombie was really up to.

The zombie didn't get angry at their silence. Instead, he said in an almost encouraging tone, "You can actually speak up and let's see. After all, if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't be wasting my breath talking to you like this."

Finding the plant might be very important to Jiang Weilan. After some thought, he expressed his request to the zombie: "We are looking for a plant, a plant that may be able to develop a vaccine for the zombie virus."

"I can probably guess from your clothes that you were a researcher here before, right? Perhaps you know the location of the plant I'm looking for."

“I do know where they are, but I’m afraid I can’t give them to you because… I need them too.”

The zombie directly rejected Jiang Weilan's request: "You'd better find someone else..." He paused for a moment, his words carrying a hint of threat: "Unless you have the strength to snatch it from me."

"However... aside from what you said, I do have a question as well," the zombie suddenly asked, changing the subject.

Just when his words stirred a part of my heart—

"You look somewhat familiar. Perhaps... you were involved in that project before?" This was clearly directed at Jiang Weilan.

Shi Qi, who originally thought his secrets were about to be exposed, was like: "?"

Jiang Weilan, who never expected her secret to be exposed, was speechless.

Jiang Weilan feigned composure and retorted, "What do you mean by 'that plan'? What plan are you talking about?" Although Jiang Weilan had already acted very "calmly," acting was not his forte, and anyone present who wasn't stupid could definitely see that he was pretending to be stupid.

The level seven zombie didn't comment much, only chuckled slightly. This chuckle made Jiang Weilan realize that he had probably seen through her.

He offered Jiang Weilan a shaky way out: "Perhaps I remembered it wrong, but only those involved in that project would know the plant's function. After all... I was once a part of it too."

Jiang Weilan: "..." He could feel everyone's gaze turning to him. Jiang Weilan subconsciously looked in Si Yan's direction, and unsurprisingly saw suspicion in his eyes.

"Fate Value -10"

Jiang Weilan withdrew her gaze and turned back to the level seven zombie: "Could it be... that you are also trying to develop a vaccine for the zombie virus?"

"Yes...no, but what I do with it now is none of your business, is it?"

Something is wrong, very wrong!

Shi Qi was starting to lose track of how things were going, because according to the original plot, this level seven zombie should have already fought the team. Instead, it was just playing along with them, showing no sign of even wanting to fight.

Something unusual must be going on. Shi Qi felt that this zombie must have other plans, and what it wanted was either Jiang Weilan or him.

"I have other things to do, so I won't keep you company any longer. Do as you please, just don't bother me." With that, the man turned and went into the room behind him, seemingly having truly lost interest in these outsiders who had eliminated his "subordinates."

Only after he had completely disappeared from sight did the people in the group dare to start discussing him.

"I feel like this matter is definitely not simple. I have a feeling that he's hiding something," Zhang Lie said, feigning profundity.

Ye Xin slapped his strong arm hard: "Isn't that obvious?! We can't just wander around like he said and then leave!"

Ling Wei nodded, indicating her deep agreement with Ye Xin: "But if we really wanted to take it, could we beat him?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Finally, Si Yan, the team leader, broke the silence: "We've never seen a zombie like this before. It's almost indistinguishable from a normal human, so I can't be sure of its true strength..."

Si Yan turned to look at Jiang Weilan, whose head was slightly lowered: "In your opinion, what level do you think this zombie is?"

After the conversation with the advanced zombie, Jiang Weilan was clearly hesitant to answer Si Yan's question.

But Si Yan clearly didn't have time to listen to his rambling and went straight to the point: "I don't have time to care about your past identity and experiences. As long as you don't become an obstacle to us or even humanity, I won't do anything to you. Or... do you intend to hide your past for the rest of your life?" As he said the last part, Si Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Fate Value -5"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weilan remained silent for a moment before speaking up: "It should be level seven, or even higher... level eight, but my personal guess is that it's close to level eight."

In other words, he hasn't reached level eight yet. Actually, Si Yan is quite confident in dealing with level seven opponents.

"That zombie doesn't seem to be aggressive towards us. Why don't we find a place to rest for a while?" Shi Qi suddenly suggested.

The suggestion seemed a bit out of place, but Si Yan was naturally willing to listen to Shi Qi's opinion, so he nodded: "Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. Let's find a place to rest for a while. As for the plants, we can talk about it after we've rested."

No one in the group raised any questions, and even Jiang Weilan, the only one who had doubts, dared not say anything more because of what had just happened.

Shi Qi had precisely grasped this point, which was why he made such a suggestion. He wanted to see what this level seven zombie was really up to.

Perhaps because they suddenly relaxed, some members of the team started yawning. And these yawns seemed to be contagious; as soon as the first yawn ended, the others followed suit.

Even the "pillar" Si Yan suffered the "persecution," his eyes slightly red from yawning: "Shi Qi, are you sleepy?"

Just as he was about to shake his head, a head suddenly slammed onto his shoulder: "..."
