Chapter 196: Origin of Gene Essence
"You're pretty strong. Were you born with that strength?" The school doctor uncle adjusted his glasses, then turned to ask Ning Shu this question. His glasses shone with white light in a way that gave off a dangerous feeling.
How should she answer this question? Why did it feel like the school doctor uncle had bad intentions? This uncle loved dissecting people with special capabilities to study them.
Ning Shu replied with a forced grin, "Yeah, I was born like this."
The school doctor uncle said 'oh' in reply then beckoned Ning Shu with his hand. Ning Shu immediately shuffled right up to the school doctor uncle.
"Don't come get so close," said the school doctor uncle. Ning Shu curled her lips but complied and took a few steps back. When would this uncle fix his unreasonable personality?
"You have the gene essence. Have you never thought about trying to awaken your special ability?" asked the school doctor.
Ning Shu almost jumped from the shock. When she saw the indifference on the school doctor uncle's face, she gave up trying to argue and replied honestly while shaking her head, "I don't want to."
"Why? All your teammates want to get the gene essence to awaken their special abilities, why don't you?" The school doctor uncle lifted his brows as he looked at Ning Shu. "You're scared of turning into a zombie?"
In all honesty, this fifty percent success rate was such a troll. A person would either get instant success and gain special abilities, or become a zombie that did nothing but eat human flesh.
Ning Shu nodded hastily. "I'm afraid of becoming a zombie."
The school doctor uncle's face filled with disdain. "You're scared of trying even with a fifty percent success rate? How weak."
What use was a trash like you!?
Ning Shu could hear the clear disdain in his voice. However, she expressed that he was welcomed to laugh at her. In any case, she wouldn't be using it. She still needed this gene essence to complete the task.
"Uncle…" Ning Shu sat down next to the school doctor uncle, then leaned in to ask, "Uncle, say, where did this gene essence come from?"
Ning Shu had been wondering for a while how this gene essence had been created.
The school doctor uncle swept a mild glance over her and said, "If you're going to talk, just talk. Why are you leaning in so close?"
Tsk, he was so unreasonable. Ning Shu shifted back a little.
She didn't really expect the school doctor uncle to answer her. After all, he was always so willful and did whatever he wanted.
The school doctor uncle adjusted his glasses, then said, "In reality, all the special abilities contain attributes like the cultivation attributes in folklore. The so-called spirit root is just a high class gene. Psycho had produced this gene essence through experiments on a woman. He had made it by extracting a fragment of the high class gene in her body. The reason why some people failed to activate their powers is because their genes weren't a good match with the genes in the gene essence, which caused their genes to be messed up and so they turn into monsters. However, some people are able to successfully integrate the gene and activate the high class genes hidden in their bodies."
Ning Shu: (⊙ｏ⊙)
Uncle, did the people in your family know how crazy you were?
The woman the uncle was talking about was the school campus world's female lead-sama. The fact that she had encountered such a treatment definitely made her the most pitiful female lead in history. She was now probably dead as a doornail.

Chapter 197: Another Variant Zombie
They were originally supposed to look for the gene essence, but they had searched for a long time without any success. By now, the group was already a little defeated, so when the school doctor uncle said that Psycho was dead and the gene essence was gone, Wolf's group immediately decided to head back.
Another important factor in this decision was the fact that they were starting to encounter more and more zombies along with variant zombies. As of now, they had already encountered three variant zombies, and the variant zombies seemed to have the ability to call other zombies.
The group was finding it very difficult to deal with them, so pretty much everyone agreed on the idea of heading back. The only thing Ning Shu couldn't understand was why the uncle was coming with them. Was he trying to get himself captured?
"Daisy, time to wake up." The school doctor uncle nudged Ning Shu with his foot. Ning Shu's eyes instantly opened, then she rubbed her eyes drowsily as she followed him to the car.
Phoenix had wanted to sit in the front passenger seat, but Ning Shu had snatched the spot first, so she glared at Ning Shu before getting into the back.
During the entire ride, Ning Shu felt a chill on the back of her head. It didn't take brains to figure out that this was Phoenix's glare.
Ning Shu was now sure that Phoenix had shifted romantic targets and was now targeting the uncle. She had already heard Phoenix and Wolf argue several times. It was all stuff like, are you betraying me? Blah blah blah, then Phoenix would argue, I'm not, blah blah.
Meanwhile, the school doctor uncle, who was the main person involved, remained unperturbed as if it all had nothing to do with him. He just went about doing his own business.
It pissed Wolf off so much he felt the urge to kill the uncle.
Ning Shu naturally didn't want anything to happen to the uncle. Once something happened to the uncle, she would be next in line. After all, Wolf also glared at her with murderous intent.
The school doctor uncle's suddenly furrowed his brows, then remarked mildly, "There are zombies again."
The atmosphere in the car immediately turned tense.
"Fuck, is there any end to this!?" Spider cursed. They had already encountered countless zombies on the way here.
It was to the point they felt like they were the only ones still alive in this world.
They hadn't seen a single person, so how were these zombies able to survive?
They were almost out of food and they had long since run out of bullets. As of now, Ning Shu was either using an axe to hack at zombies, or a rod to smash their heads.
The only one that had guns was the school doctor uncle, but he showed no indication of sharing. At most he would help a bit when Ning Shu was close to being bitten by a zombie. He showed no trace of concern for the others.
Right after the school doctor uncle said that zombies were coming, they started hearing snarling. Some zombies ran up to try to surround the car.
The school doctor uncle pressed down on the gas pedal with no expression on his face and the car ran straight towards the zombie blocking the way, mercilessly crushing it.
The car shook so much that Ning Shu felt motion sick.
Thud.
A loud sound came from the roof of the car, then the entire car shook.
Everyone's expressions turned grim. They had encountered another variant zombie.
Why were there so many variant zombies?
Ning Shu glanced at the school doctor uncle. His face was calm and indifferent, but his lips were tightly pressed together, indicating that he was pretty annoyed right now.
Ning Shu asked, "Uncle, should we get off the car first to deal with the variant zombie?"
"Daisy, if you're stupid, then don't speak. There are so many zombies outside, we'll be surrounded instantly. Moreover, there's a variant zombie as well. You're pretty much telling us to all go die," said Phoenix coldly.
Spider and Wolf also glared at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu knitted her brows as she said, "There's a variant zombie on the roof right now. What if it breaks the car? If we lose the car, we'll immediately be torn apart by the zombies."
Did they really think that she was happy to get off and face the zombies?
