(Xyrean Province- Inner Regions)
(The Mermaid's Lake- Forested Outskirts)
The boar slumped motionless to the ground and Qin Lan drew in a shaky breath. She could hear her heart beating loudly in her chest.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
She took in a few deep breaths and then gradually calmed down.
She was not afraid but rather it was excitement and bloodlust that coursed through her veins.
Qin Lan didn't know why but whenever she killed, her body would react in certain ways that was a bit concerning.
She would feel the urge to kill again… and again… and again.
The young woman let out a heavy sigh and looked down at her jacket that was now partially covered in blood.
Looks like she would need to do some washing tomorrow by the lake. Hopefully Liu Yifei was still awake so she could get some clean clothes to wear tonight.
Eve softly approached from behind and reached into her pocket to pull out a plain white handkerchief.
The zombie empress stretched out her hand towards her favourite human and gently wiped the traces of blood from her face.
She carefully wiped the blood from her face with movements that were slow to make sure that she didn't irritate Qin Lan's skin.
Despite Qin Lan's messy appearance, Eve thought she looked absolutely beautiful.
The cold gaze in her eyes as she killed that boar had sent a shiver down her spine.
Her favourite human was dangerous… and she was exactly her type!
"Thank you," Qin Lan whispered softly as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the gentle sensation of Eve wiping her face.
"Anytime," Eve replied solemnly with a serious expression on her face.
She could not resist leaning forward and capturing Qin Lan's lips in a soft lingering kiss that seemed to last forever.
Qin Lan groaned softly in her throat before wrapping her arms around the zombie empress and pulled her in for a tight embrace.
Both women fell on the forest floor but did not even register the fact that their pants were now stained with dirt.
Qin Lan's hand moved as if she had done similar motions hundreds of times before and naughtily roamed towards Eve's backside.
She lightly touched Eve's gorgeous peach-shaped ass before squeezing it two times. Eve stiffened as she didn't expect her favourite human to make such a bold move.
Qin Lan broke away from the kiss and coughed awkwardly as she realised what she had just done.
"Sorry… I… I don't know what came over me…" Qin Lan nervously spoke as a fierce blush began to spread across her face.
When she looked at Eve, the naked body of a beautiful dark-skinned woman flashed across her mind.
Despite the fact that she obviously looked nothing like the zombie empress, Qin Lan could not help but feel as though there was a similarity between the two that she could not describe.
"You don't need to apologise… I like it," Eve teased playfully as she lightly ran her fingers along Qin Lan's cheek.
The clear emotions of love and adoration in her eyes as she gazed at her favourite human made Qin Lan's face turn even more red.
She knew that if they remained in this same position then there was a very real possibility that they would not return to the rest site tonight.
And Gong Li and Liu Yifei were still waiting for her to return.
Qin Lan summoned all the willpower in her heart and slowly got up from the ground and walked towards the boar.
"Come… we need to go back to camp before it gets too late…" Qin Lan tried to speak casually but she was clearly still a bit flustered.
Eve nodded and slowly walked behind her favourite human as she picked up the boar with one hand and slung it over her shoulder.
Qin Lan's enhanced strength thanks to leveling up her ability was very useful, and it only took a bit of effort to lift up a heavy two-hundred-kilogram animal.
The zombie empress licked her lips since Qin Lan had opened up a whole new world for her to explore.
She thought that she would be satisfied with just kisses but now Eve wanted more.
Of course, she was prepared to wait until Qin Lan accepted her confession before taking their relationship to the next level.
Then after…
A seductive smile spread across Eve's face as she walked a bit closer to her favourite human and gently brushed shoulders with her.
"Do you need any help?" Eve asked softly as she reached out to take the boar from Qin Lan.
"No. Thanks for the offer but it's good exercise," Qin Lan replied as she shifted her body to avoid Eve's incoming hands.
"For now, my biggest problem is trying to figure out how to tell the girls that you are still alive and that's not even the hardest part of the conversation…"
"How am I supposed to tell them that you are being hunted down by an experiment test subject, my brother is still alive and hates me… your true form as well…"
Qin Lan furrowed her brows as she felt a massive headache coming on.
She did not plan to leave the two young teenagers behind as they travelled to the military base to kill Subject 001.
It was just too dangerous to leave them in Xyrean Province with the crazy cultist and that Father Han character who controlled an army of ability users.
But the alternative would also be dangerous. There was a hundred different ways for her plan to ambush Subject 001 to go wrong.
They could be spotted before they made it to the base, attacked by zombies or even die at the hands of other survivors.
Was she really making the right decision?
Qin Lan's fingers slightly trembled as the image of Chen Xiao's ripped apart corpse flashed across her mind.
They had never even recovered Liu Tao's body, but it was obvious that her fate would have been the same if not worse…
"It's up to you how much that you want to tell them… I will support you either way," Eve's gentle voice pierced through Qin Lan's dark thoughts.
"Thanks… I appreciate it," Qin Lan replied softly as she turned around and smiled at the beautiful woman following behind her.
Maybe… maybe the best option was to tell the two girls the entire truth and then leave it up to them to make the decision.
