Chapter 192: School Doctor Joined the Ranks
When the school doctor uncle heard what Phoenix said, he lifted his brows and turned around to look at her. Phoenix subtly lifted her chest a little, then repeated, "Where are you planning to go?"
The school doctor uncle pushed up his glasses a little. "Where do you guys plan to go? I'll follow."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Phoenix's face that increased her beauty. However, Wolf's expression remained cold.
And that was how the school doctor uncle joined the ranks. He drove wherever Phoenix told him to go, causing Wolf to be gloomy all the time with stifled anger. Whenever they encountered zombies, Wolf would be the first to rush up in order to vent his anger.
Phoenix was starting to trust the school doctor uncle more and more. On the other hand, every time Ning Shu saw the cold light refracting off of the school doctor uncle's glasses, she would feel a chill.
When she saw that Phoenix was starting to act bashful and shy in front of the school doctor uncle, she became even more horrified.
Uncle, you're totally on the path of overthrowing the male lead ah!
The apocalypse was very pragmatic. In this extreme environment, primitive human nature would be amplified. It displayed the original rules followed by humankind - the strong devouring the weak - in harsh detail.
Worshiping and following the strong all came instinctively.
The school doctor uncle possessed very advanced weapons that he used skillfully, so he never showed any panic when facing zombies. The most amazing part was that this guy didn't seem to be living in the apocalypse. His clothes were always clean, his nails were always trimmed, and there was no a trace of dirt on him, causing him to be even more attractive.
In contrast, Wolf was always angrily hacking at the zombies without a single trace of elegance, so his clothes were filthy and he always stank of sweat.
With the school doctor uncle as a contrast, Wolf became like dirt in comparison. His male lead halo became so dim it was barely even visible.
However, Ning Shu was more concerned about Phoenix's goal in traveling with them. They had already searched for many days but still hadn't found any other gene essence.
Ning Shu touched the gene essence in her pocket. This gene essence was the one she pulled out of the variant zombie's hand. Back then, the school doctor uncle hadn't taken it because the bottle was dirty, but afterwards he had never asked for it again.
Ning Shu naturally wouldn't foolishly take the initiative to hand this over to the uncle either. She was curious about what exactly this gene essence was to have been able to mess the world up like this.
Based on the original host's memory, the senior commander had told her that it was the nation that had wanted to strengthen the human body through improving human genes. The person who had been responsible for researching this was the gene scientist known as Psycho. However, they hadn't expected for him to actually succeed.
Unfortunately, not everyone was able to become stronger. About fifty percent of the people successfully activated the more advanced genes in their bodies and gain special abilities, but the other fifty percent became extremely strong monsters that felt no pain and only wanted to eat. In addition, those monsters contained a virus that could make humans become like them.
The person responsible for this, the uncle, had grabbed his things and ran. Soon, the monsters broke out of the lab and started wrecking the world.
The people who had been lucky enough to awaken their special abilities in the lab were drafted by the nation and Ning Shu's team was given the mission of finding the gene essence that the uncle had taken with him. Wolf and Phoenix knew about the ability of the gene essence so they ended up deciding to betray the country and keeping the gene essence for themselves.
Uncle, you sure caused a lot of destruction.
And what was the uncle staying with this group for? Could it be that he had gotten addicted to dissecting female leads?
"Come here." The school doctor uncle beckoned Ning Shu like she was a little dog. Ning Shu went over with a dark expression and asked, "Uncle, what is it?"
"Come closer. Come break this bar," said the school doctor uncle as he pointed at the steel reinforced bar that was about as thick as the length of a thumb.
Ning Shu: Why the heck?

Chapter 193: Come Here, Let Me Feel
When Ning Shu heard that the school doctor uncle actually wanted her to break a steel bar, she thought she was hearing things.
"Why do you want me to break it?" asked Ning Shu.
The school doctor uncle looked towards Ning Shu and his glasses turned white from refracted light, causing him to look extremely dangerous. Ning Shu immediately picked up the steel bar on the ground without another word.
"Use all your strength to do it," said the school doctor uncle.
Ning Shu nodded and revolved her inner strength as she exerted her strength on the steel bar. She didn't manage to break it, but it bent. She asked, "Is this alright?"
The school doctor uncle nodded, then reached out to touch Ning Shu's arm. Ning Shu immediately threw down the steel bar and ran far away before turning to look at him warily. "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Hell, it was terrifying to be touched by him.
"I'm just testing your strength. I saw earlier that you seem unusually strong." The school doctor uncle beckoned Ning Shu. "Come over here, let me feel."
Ning Shu: Pfff….
"Come here, let me feel your muscle," repeated the school doctor uncle. Ning Shu felt uncomfortable from head to toe.
The reason why she was unusually strong was because she had practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Speaking of which, everytime she recalled the name of this inner strength manual, she would feel really embarrassed.
Ning Shu jogged to the school doctor uncle. As she watched him examine her expressionlessly, she felt a chill. Why did she feel like she was about to be dissected by the school doctor uncle?
After the school doctor uncle had his fill of touching her muscle, he nodded. "Although you don't have very large muscles, they're very compact. This is the ideal state." The school doctor's gold-rimmed glasses were practically shining as he spoke, which scared Ning Shu so much she felt about to wet her pants.
It couldn't be that Uncle wanted to dissect her? No way right? No way?
"Here are your dinners." Phoenix walked over and interrupted Ning Shu and the school doctor uncle's moment of 'passionate gazing.'
Phoenix was holding two boxes of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water which she handed to the school doctor uncle.
The school doctor uncle then handed Ning Shu a box of biscuits. Ning Shu hastily took it. She was starving!
When Phoenix saw this, her eyes flickered with something and she said to Ning Shu, "Daisy, step out for a second. I want to talk to you."
Ning Shu was a bit confused. Why would Phoenix want to talk to her? However, she still followed Phoenix out. This house was very crude; it was made from mud, so its inhabitants were already long gone. It was just a temporary resting place for the group.
When they got outside, Phoenix stopped walking. Ning Shu stood about two meters away from Phoenix. This was the safest distance to maintain.
"Why were you looking for me?" asked Ning Shu.
Phoenix extended her delicate hand towards Ning Shu. When she saw Ning Shu's completely baffled expression, she said coldly, "Daisy, hand over the gene essence so that we can complete the mission."
"Gene essence? I don't have any gene essence," replied Ning Shu.
Phoenix's expression turned colder. "Stop acting! I'm talking about the gene essence the variant zombie snatched. You were the one that took it in the end."
Ning Shu acted like she had suddenly realized what Phoenix meant and said, "Oh, that gene essence. I already lost it. If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't even have remembered it." Following that, Ning Shu put on a remorseful expression. "Big Sister Phoenix, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault."
Phoenix was annoyed when Ning Shu called her 'big sister.' When she saw how foolish Ning Shu looked, she said coldly, "Daisy, we've all been sent by the same secret service department. Do you want everyone to fail this mission and be punished by Senior Commander?"
Inwardly, Ning Shu rolled her eyes. You guys have already betrayed the country, so why would you still care about being punished? The only one this would work on would be the silly and naive original host.
