(Outskirts of Heurn Province)
(Hidden Location- Secret Military Complex)
Rage.
That was all Eve felt as she arrived at the scene and saw her favourite human holding her right arm which was covered in frozen blood.
The zombie empress had never felt so much anger before.
"Subject 001…" Eve growled darkly as she turned to face the monster standing with an expression of fear and hatred on his face.
His eyes were already beginning to regenerate from the wound that Qin Lan had inflicted using her knife, but the process had begun to slow down.
Eve didn't know why Subject 001 looked slightly different nor why he appeared to have a similar face to her favourite human's brother….
But she didn't care.
Eve screamed as her true form was revealed to the world. Her body got skinner and taller as her skin shrivelled up against her bones.
Her fingernails extended outwards until they became vicious black claws that gleamed under the sunlight.
"That's my girl…" Qin Lan whispered proudly as she watched Eve's transformation without a hint of fear on her face.
Eve's figure blurred and then vanished from the spot. Subject 001 barely had entire time to react before a fist crashed into his stomach.
BOOM!
Subject 001 slammed into a nearby building which immediately collapsed under the force of the blow.
He vomited out a mouthful of black blood and shakily got back up to his feet. Eve rushed forward and used her claws to swipe at his face.
Subject 001 ducked his head but could not completely avoid the fast attack. He shrieked in pain as several long wounds opened up along his face.
The zombie empress in front of him had no mercy for the one who hurt her lover. The only punishment was death.
Nothing else would satisfy her bloodlust.
Qin Lan moved behind a nearby pile of rubble and used her injured hand to tear off strips of cloth from her shirt.
This was not exactly the best first aid, but it would do for now.
She gritted her teeth in pain as she wrapped the makeshift bandages over her wound and slowly got up.
Eve didn't seem to need her help but that did not mean that she could not offer up some assistance in case things went wrong.
Qin Lan spotted her gun on the ground a few metres away and hurriedly walked over and picked it up.
She aimed the weapon at the figure being mercilessly beaten to death and kept her finger hovering right above the trigger.
Subject 001 let out a muffled cry of pain as Eve's claws ripped open his stomach and his intestines fell on the ground.
He couldn't believe it.
How was the physical difference between himself and Subject 014 so large? She was much stronger, faster and had better reflexes.
No… this wasn't fair…he was the original.
He was the first.
It couldn't end like this. Not when he had yet to kill Subject 014… Qin Lan…
Subject 014… Qin Lan…
Subject 014… Qin Lan…
Subject 014… Qin Lan…
The zombie-human hybrid gripped his head in pain as he rolled on the ground and scooped up his intestines.
"Get… GET AWAY FROM ME!" Subject 001 roared in fury as the temperature instantly plummeted even further.
Thick ice began to spread from his feet and the ground was soon covered by a thin layer of ice.
Snow began to rain down from the sky as if the heavens themselves were responding to Subject 001's ability.
It wasn't enough.
Eve rushed forward on four legs almost like an animal as she used her black claws for grip. She slammed into Subject 001's body and sent him flying.
The zombie- human hybrid spat out another mouthful of black blood and this time he could feel the corners of his vision slowly turn dark.
Using regeneration over and over again was putting a toll on his body and he wasn't sure how long he could last.
"I'll kill you… I'll kill you…" two voices seemed to overlap as Subject 001 raised up his head and stared at Eve with an expression of hatred.
If it wasn't for her, I would still be alive…
If it wasn't for her, I would be the leader of the new humans…
For once Qin Wei and Subject 001's thoughts were in complete sync as they raised up their right hand and pointed it at Eve.
"Die…" Subject 001 whispered softly as he summoned up all the energy that he had left in his body.
A large tsunami of ice and frost erupted from his right palm with so much force that the skin covering his hand burst.
Eve could not avoid the attack since it covered a wide area, so she simply closed her eyes and allowed it to hit her body.
Qin Lan was forced to hide behind a nearby building and curled up into a ball just as the avalanche of snow fell down.
The world turned completely white as the military complex was buried in around three feet of snow.
Subject 001 crashed to the ground and groaned as he unsteadily tried his best to stand up and limp away from the scene.
He was not foolish enough to believe that this attack would be enough to kill Subject 014 but hopefully it would buy him some time to escape.
Wu Jing was dead.
But there must be other humans with similar lightning type abilities… all he needed to do was find one and raise them to become a weapon to use against Subject 014.
He would do things differently next time.
No more independence.
The human that he selected to be his living weapon would be broken until all thoughts of rebellion were gone.
He simply needed a tool not a subordinate.
Subject 001 raised up his left hand and began to summon a blue portal that led to the city. First, he needed to get out of here…
Just as the portal was beginning to form, a loud gunshot echoed through the silent frozen wasteland.
Bang!
Subject 001 flinched in pain as a bullet neatly entered his left hand and all the energy that he had been accumulating suddenly disappeared.
The portal vanished.
"What the hell…" Subject 001 never got time to finish his sentence as a heavy blow struck him from the back.
He collapsed on the ground and saw two figures looking down at him with expressions of disgust and fury.
Subject 001… no… Eve stepped on his injured palm and crushed the bones in his wrist while Qin Lan stood in the background holding a smoking gun.
Her body trembled uncontrollably since she was affected by the cold temperature and yet her gun did not even move a single inch.
Impressive willpower…
Subject 001 regretted that he had not chosen her as his new host instead of her weak-willed brother.
Eve slowly crushed every single bone in Subject 001's body until he was nothing more than a bruised pulp of flesh.
Subject 001 opened his mouth one last time and the words that flowed out were quite unexpected.
"Sister… are you really prepared to watch her kill me?" Qin Wei softly asked as he raised up his head with great difficultly to watch Qin Lan.
"Your only brother. I admit that I was jealous but now I see the truth. You were always there for me and protected me."
"Please… protect me one more time. I promise that you will never see me again… I will live a life of peace away from society…"
