It’s annyoing I want to eat people - Chapter 7

Yan Han floated on the sea for more than ten days. Before any drips entered, the skin and flesh that had been rotten were all dried up by the sea breeze. Fortunately, she was a zombie, and she could live without eating or drinking water. If she were a person, she would have starved to death

On the first day when she went out to sea, she could still make a rough sense of direction, holding the oar and struggling to paddle a few times. By one o’clock in the morning, she fell asleep. When she woke up, there was a thick layer of fog on the sea, and there was nothing to see in the darkness. In anxiety, Yan Han shook her hands and straightened her waist to look around. 

She found a more serious problem. Where was her paddle? When did she lose her oar?

She didn’t know the direction. Without the oars, she could only drift with the sea breeze, and she floated to the island. Perhaps this was the legendary destiny, fate.

Once the zombies go into the sea, they would sink to the bottom of the sea, and the island was also nearly 200 kilometers away from Yunjing City. Therefore, people on the island had been living in peace for the past three years. Unless it was a special period, the usual security was not strict, but there were a few guards scattered around the border of the island.

Yan Han took a big windbreaker from the mall before going to sea. After all, she was also a zombie with a rotten face. She still had to dress up when going in and out of the island full of living people.

On the island, Yan Han lowered her head as much as possible to avoid looking at people. When she walked, she looked left and right, sneaking, like a furtive thief.

When the living people came and went past her, Yan Han smelled the scent of the living people, and was so greedy that she swallowed. She was really hungry after a long time.

She walked around the island for about an hour, and suddenly a horn sounded on the island, making her so scared that she didn’t dare to move. She hadn’t been on the island for a while, was she discovered? How did that happen?

Yan Han stood in the corner for a while and found that the crowd had not rushed toward her. She breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to look up at the excitement, when a man in a white coat suddenly ran over to her, and she hurriedly lowered her head in fright.

The man pulled a young woman and asked, “What happened to the CDC?” 

The woman seemed to be very anxious, and replied out of breath, “Professor Ji, the armed forces saw Professor Han’s researcher Li Xinyu running to the isolation room on the top floor to where the zombies are placed in.”

Ji Zhaoyan looked startled, and said, “What? Did she let them out?”

“No,” the woman shook her head.

He breathed a sigh of relief, “Then why did they use the alarm?”

“But Li Xinyu was bitten by a zombie, and now I don’t know where she hid, the armed forces are dispatched.”

Ji Zhaoyan was startled, and then fell into contemplation. Han Chi’s researcher…

If Li Xinyu poked a big basket, Han Chi wouldn’t have any good fruit to eat.

Seeing that Ji Zhaoyan stopped talking, the woman asked anxiously, “Professor Ji, what else do you have? I’m going home as soon as possible. It’s too unsafe outside.” 

Ji Zhaoyan nodded, “It’s okay.”

After the woman left, he still stood there thinking for a while, so that Yan Han, who was standing in the corner, didn’t dare to move.

‘This man is really… What are you thinking about standing here? If you want to think, go home.’

Yan Han was complaining, and the man actually said, “Who are you? Hiding in a corner like a wretched.”

You are wretched, your whole family is wretched! Yan Han scolded him motionlessly in her heart.

“What about you? I just saw something wrong with you.”

Ji Zhaoyan walked over and gave her a push. Yan Han took advantage of the opportunity to open her hat and roared at him. Ji Zhaoyan didn’t expect it to be a zombie. Suddenly, he was so frightened that he stepped back and leaned against the wall.

Yan Han was a little happy seeing that he was scared. She approached him with her mouth open and made a “roaring” sound, threatening to bite him.

Ji Zhaoyan was so frightened that his legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground. Yan Han didn’t want to play with him again when she saw that he was about to be scared silly. She waved her head proudly at him, put on her hat and walked away.

Ji Zhaoyan supported the wall and slowly got up, looking at the direction Yan Han was leaving, with a complicated expression, his eyes were mixed with shock and surprise.

Although it was only a minute or two, he recognized the identity of the female zombie – Yan Han.

He knocked his head triumphantly, and a smile appeared on his face. No wonder the female zombie’s picture that morning felt a little familiar, but he was only thinking about making Han Chi embarrassed at the time, so when that idea flashed in his mind, he didn’t care. Unexpectedly, the female zombie was really Yan Han.

His relationship with Yan Han started in Yunjing University. Six years ago, he and Yan Han worked at the Institute of Virology, School of Life Sciences, Yunjing University. At that time, he had just returned from studying abroad, and soon he was directly hired by Yunjing University as an associate professor in the School of Life Sciences. Yunjing University was a first-class institution. It was indeed a glorious thing to be hired by Yunjing University. His family members at that time came to the house with things to congratulate him. His mother laughed from ear to ear all day long. Even the unsmiling father praised him kindly.

Not long after he arrived at Yunjing University, he heard that the School of Life Sciences had hired another professor. After he had just finished his lecture, he entered the office and everyone was discussing the upcoming female professor.

“Twenty-four years old, she is the youngest professor our university has hired since its founding.”

“No, she has completed a post-doctorate at a prestigious foreign university at the age of twenty-four. She published a lot of papers in well-known foreign journals. She’s really a capable talent.”

“Talent? She’s a genius. Professor Yan took part in the college entrance examination at the age of 13. She achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination. It seems that she is a little different from the top students in science that year.”

One of the teachers proudly interrupted the discussion, and smiled and said, “Hey, let me tell you something that you don’t know. Do you know? Professor Yan is a student from our school.”

“Yeah, didn’t she?” One person agreed very cooperatively.

“The biological sciences for both undergraduate and master’s degrees.”

Ji Zhaoyan sat in front of the computer and listened to the people in the office talking about the new professor, feeling very upset.

He became more complacent these days when he joined the job, but was slapped in the face by a woman who was four years younger than him in a few days. If his father knew about this, he would definitely be compared again.

In his impression, this woman, Yan Han, was very proud. She looked beautiful but didn’t dress up. She liked to stay in the laboratory all day long. She didn’t like to socialize. She basically had no friends who talked to her but didn’t seem to be bothered by it.

He did not have much interaction with Yan Han, just because of her amazing resume, he often secretly observed her, and then the R virus broke out, and very few teachers survived in the institute. When the escape was organized, Yan Han was not in the escape queue. In all likelihood, she was infected by the virus.

As Ji Zhaoyan walked to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, he carefully recalled the late PPT content.

The distance between the island and Yunjing City was nearly 200 kilometers. How did a zombie cross the sea and land on the island?

Just now, Yan Han’s behavior was indeed quite different from that of ordinary zombies, as if she really had intelligence, unlike other zombies who would bite at sight. It was incredible, Ji Zhaoyan smiled unconsciously, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

Was it because the virus in her body had mutated, or was there a special virus antibody in her body? Could it be that? If… If so! What Han Chi said at the meeting last time was well founded. The breakthrough of the R virus vaccine may really be found in her.

If that was the case, he must catch the zombie first, and he must not let Han Chi take the lead.

The CDC had long since turned into a mess, and after the horn sounded, Director Ji’s rigorous voice came from all laboratories immediately, “Dear colleagues of the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, please be careful, colleagues of the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, the first laboratory researcher Li Xinyu was accidentally infected with the R virus due to an experimental accident, and the whereabouts of this researcher is currently unknown. The armed forces are currently forming an action team. Before the arrival of the armed forces, I would also like to ask all the colleagues to stay in the laboratory at ease and close the doors and windows in time to prevent being attacked.”
