Chapter 217: Life of a Little White Mouse

Ning Shu didn’t know how long she had been in the laboratory. She was starving every single day, but didn’t actually starve to death. It was just that this craving for food was torture.
The school doctor uncle held a test tube in one hand as he lifted Ning Shu’s chin with the other. He poured some liquid into her mouth. Ning Shu smacked her lips. There wasn’t really any taste. What was this?
Ning Shu worked hard to ask the uncle what this was with her blurry eyes. The uncle’s brainwaves must have finally matched up with Ning Shu’s this once as he said, “This is gene essence.”
Ning Shu: Pfff…
What was he giving a zombie gene essence for?
The school doctor uncle furrowed his brows as he asked, “You don’t feel anything?”
Ning Shu shook her head. She didn’t feel anything, but she also wasn’t as desperately hungry anymore.
Could it be that this gene essence could also serve as an energy source?
“Girl, what about now? What do you feel now?” asked the school doctor uncle.
Ning Shu mouthed that she didn’t feel as hungry anymore.
“You don’t feel as hungry?” The school doctor uncle guessed. Ning Shu immediately nodded.
Understanding flashed across the school doctor uncle’s face. “No wonder zombies were also interested in the gene essence. The zombie’s interest in consuming humans as food probably stems from their instinct to supplement the genes in their bodies. This manifested as craving for human flesh.”
Ning Shu: …
Twisted scientists were seriously too scary.
Regardless of whether it was the ability users or the variant zombies, their end goal was the same – to become an evolved human. The school doctor uncle poured another test tube of gene essence into Ning Shu’s mouth.
Ning Shu felt that it was superb. It was much easier to control her body now.
The school doctor uncle took off his white lab coat and pulled on his black windbreaker. From the looks of it, he was about to head out.
Ning Shu stared at the school doctor uncle and used her eyes to ask, Uncle, where are you going?
The uncle adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “I’m heading out for a while. Behave and stay still.”
Ning Shu sent him off with her eyes. You have to come back ah!
The laboratory fell silent. Ning Shu lay on the operating table with her hands and feet shackled. There was no need to mention how depressed she felt. The worst part of this was, after becoming a zombie, she could no longer sleep. Even if she wanted to sleep, she couldn’t.
Having insomnia was seriously painful.
After some time, the school doctor uncle returned with what remained of a female corpse. Half of the body seemed to have been eaten by a zombie. It was an extremely gruesome sight.
However, the school doctor uncle’s expression didn’t change at all as he placed the corpse on a different operating table and started dissecting it to gather samples.
As Ning Shu watched from the side, she felt the urge to kneel to the uncle. His unperturbed manner seriously inspired respect.
She wondered where the uncle found this corpse. He had probably snatched it right from the mouth of a zombie.
The school doctor uncle started working busily again. He even gathered some samples from Ling Xue’s corpse and started comparing them.
Ning Shu was left to lie on the operating table, bored. What she wanted the most right now was to take a walk around, but the uncle showed no intention of releasing her.
Uncle, you’re overthinking things. I wouldn’t dare to touch a single finger of yours.
The school doctor uncle got so engrossed that he seemed to have forgotten about Ning Shu’s existence, so Ning Shu started making sounds to try and increase her presence.
However, the school doctor uncle still paid no attention to her. In her boredom, she stared at his face. He had cold, handsome looks and a very tall and sexy build. He was seriously an alluring guy.
The uncle’s background was also extremely mysterious.
After some time, the uncle finally finished what he was doing and threw the corpse into a tub of formalin solution. He washed his hands countless times, then ate a little, before saying to Ning Shu, “This time, let’s try the gene essence I extracted from an ability user.”
Ning Shu was forced to drink a not quality verified gene essence. When she drank it, it felt like she was drinking pepper water. Her throat burned.
Ever since she became a zombie, she hadn’t felt any pain, but, fuck, drinking this gene essence felt like she was drinking sulfuric acid. She was seriously a pitiful little white mouse.
After she finished drinking it, her head felt a lot clearer and she could think a lot better as well. Her brain didn’t feel as sluggish as before.
For the time being though, nothing else changed.
The uncle didn’t ask her anything either and just lay down to sleep on the nearby operating table.
Ning Shu looked at the uncle silently. Fudge, it really felt bitter to watch another person sleep when she couldn’t.
As she thought about this, she eventually closed her eyes and ended up falling asleep. Not even Ning Shu knew how it happened. Before this, she hadn’t been able to sleep at all!
#comment: Ning Shu, I’m jealous~~~ I wish sleep wasn’t a need. I waste so much time due to insomnia and resulting sleepiness~~ Not to mention how awkward it is to have to keep pinching my thighs so I can keep my eyes open during individual meetings with professors.
