Apocalypse: My Companions Are From the 3D Zone

Chapter 24: Patient Zero

"What are you looking for~"

The storage room door closed eerily, with a "creak~" sound.

The words and sound made Li Pu shiver involuntarily.

Reacting quickly, Chun Li took a step forward to create distance, then turned around swiftly.

At the same time, she pulled the somewhat dazed Li Pu behind her.

In a flash, Li Pu was subconsciously protected by Chun Li.

The stunned Li Pu recovered: "Is this the awareness and reaction of a top martial artist?"

It seems I only have the hardware of a top martial artist; I haven't upgraded my corresponding software yet.

While Li Pu was thinking.

"Clap~ clap~ clap~" a few crisp sounds came.

"Top-notch reaction ability, for humans."

In the darkness, Chun Li used a flashlight to illuminate the source of the sound, and the two finally saw the person's face.

An ugly woman, hanging upside down in the air.

Her face was pale and thin, without any blood. Two tiger teeth protruded from her lips, and she was wearing a completely black swallow-tailed suit.

"Uninvited guests are always particularly annoying~" This Anomaly woman stuck out a mossy tongue and licked her yellowed tiger teeth.

With a whoosh!

This vampire-like woman bared her teeth and flew towards Chun Li and Li Pu.

Chun Li pushed Li Pu away in the first instance, relying on her perception of airflow, and the woman jumped up into the air!

She grabbed the woman's upper body in mid-air, using a technique of borrowing force to redirect it, using the woman's forward momentum, rotating her body with the woman one and a half times, and slamming her hard on the ground.

"Dragon Star Fall!"

A strong wind swept through the room, dust flew in the direction where the woman fell, and the sound of glass breaking came.

This skillful martial art brightened Li Pu's eyes.

"Hold the flashlight properly and watch carefully, then go back and write an 800-word reflection!"

Upon hearing this, Li Pu's enthusiasm for learning was immediately dampened by more than half; the lethality of this sentence was too great.

Luckily, it's not 3,000 words, but could those Infant Spirits be...?

Chun Li adopted a Wing Chun stance to face the enemy, her nerves tensed, paying close attention to the surrounding airflow.

She subconsciously looked at the glass containers reflecting the light of the flashlight in Li Pu's hand in the darkness: "A proper hospital wouldn't have so many infant cadaver specimens; there are at least several hundred here."

"Even a gynecology hospital doesn't need to, and couldn't possibly, store so many infant specimens." The detective's intuition told Chun Li that things were definitely not as simple as this woman not welcoming intruders.

"I now have reason to suspect you are engaged in child trafficking and organ sales." Her police professionalism made her skillfully warn the criminal loudly.

The sound of glass shards and water dripping rang out, and Li Pu quickly shone the flashlight over.

The woman climbed up in a disheveled manner, smiling mockingly: "It's been a long time since I've had something so chewy, hee hee hee hee."

Her eyes flickered with an eerie red light in the darkness, two streaks of light elongated instantly, revealing fangs as she pounced on Chun Li again.

Chun Li seized the opportunity and, with another rotating throw using borrowed force, threw the woman directly against the wall of the darkroom.

This blow caused the glass containers on the surrounding shelves to shake, shaking off a lot of dust.

"Tiger Strike Down!"

Based on the habitual thinking that smoke means no damage, Li Pu continued to shine the flashlight on the place where the woman fell.

"Little Pu, go open the door to the room!"

Without saying a word, Li Pu transformed into Chris and rushed towards the door at full speed.

With this kind of fast-moving enemy, before his thinking and reactions adapt to the body upgraded to Fighter Physique, it's best to leave it to Chun Li to deal with as much as possible.

He yanked open the two doors and stood there dumbfounded!

A strong stench of decay spread out, mixed with the smell of blood and rot, making it almost unbearable. The pungent smell drilled into his nostrils, making him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

He saw a bloated and terrifying monster standing outside the door; the hospital gown on its body told Li Pu that it was a patient in this hospital, but the extra human limbs and cockroach-like fleshy head were truly disgusting.

"Damn it! Patient Zero?"

Filthy blood and rotten flesh hung on its gaping maw, and blood-red eyes revealed wildness and thirst. Li Pu clearly saw its five or six rows of sharp teeth and a forked, octopus-like disgusting tongue.

The huge mouth emitted a foul-smelling, rapid breath, and the hot air seemed to ravage his cheeks.

Coming back to his senses, Li Pu jumped back when the monster was about to stick to his face.

The monster, with its eyes closed, chewed a few times, didn't feel any meat in its mouth, and looked at Li Pu with a Guangdong cockroach-is-very-worried-about-you expression.

"Too bad, running into a mutant at this time!"

"Clang!" He hit the cockroach mutant's head with a frying pan.

That monster's swelling body staggered back a few steps from his blow, its mouth uttering overlapping sounds, intermittently saying, "Eat... happiness... merge... happiness..."

His full-strength strike, powered by his superhuman physique, only managed to push the monster back, without causing any flesh and blood damage!

"Tch, is this the defense of a mutated being?"

Chun Li noticed Li Pu's situation and retreated, approaching Li Pu, her eyes fixed on the woman.

The woman, exposed to the sunlight, began to emit black gas all over her body, she chuckled, not caring at all, "An Angel has actually undergone Evolution in this hospital? What a great place."

"Angel?" Li Pu frowned, "Are you telling me this oversized human-meat-mixed-cockroach is an Angel?"

In a few seconds, Chun Li's back pressed against his: "Go to the corridor, the sunlight seems to have an effect on that woman."

"Turn around, I'll clear the way!"

Li Pu understood and tacitly exchanged positions with Chun Li.

Facing the mutated monster that once again opened its bloody mouth, the surrounding airflow converged towards Chun Li, a large amount of blue airflow that had solidified into substance gathered in her palm, and she pushed forward fiercely.

The massive airflow spiraled in Chun Li's outstretched palm, the air waves around the airflow protected Chun Li like an invisible barrier, and the monster was pinned to the wall of the corridor by Chun Li's airflow.

"Spiral Energy Palm!"

"Now's the time! Little Pu! Go!"

Li Pu listened to Chun Li's words, moved his body, and prepared to rush out of the darkroom, but at this moment, a large gap was exposed behind Chun Li.

The gloomy Anomaly woman grinned, "Hahaha! Now's the time."

She pounced unexpectedly at Chun Li's neck.

Who knew that Li Pu, who hadn't run a few steps, suddenly turned back and jumped into the air: "Nine Heavens Thunder Double Feet Kick!"

With a loud bang! Li Pu's powerful kick landed squarely on the woman, and she was kicked back into the wall again, but this time it was Li Pu who did it.

"Why did you come back!" Chun Li shouted anxiously, the Energy Palm was about to exhaust the internal force in her dantian, and it would take more than ten breaths to recover.

"We'll go together!" Li Pu shouted stubbornly.

Always being taken care of by Chun Li, having long regarded her as his only family, he couldn't bring himself to abandon Chun Li and escape alone.

The airflow dissipated, and the mutated monster roared, baring its fangs and claws.

Chun Li was startled, she had exhausted her internal energy, but she had only delayed this monster for a short while.

The woman who had been kicked into the wall twisted her neck with an evil smile and pounced again.

"...When this monster eats me later, you run!" Chun Li didn't blame her reckless little disciple, but instead felt a hint of sweetness and emotion in her heart.

"At least let Little Pu live." Her eyes were full of determination, as if she had already thought about what to do in this situation.

Just as the two were about to be attacked from both sides, a burst of sound rang out!

The wall behind the mutated monster was broken through, the wall bricks collapsed, smoke and dust flew, and the gray chaos stirred up by smoke and dust.

The flying bricks were like falling stars, completely burying the monster.

Chun Li and Li Pu took advantage of the chaos to separate and avoid the sharp-toothed woman's pounce.

Seemingly unable to stop due to inertia, the woman rushed straight into the smoke where the wall had collapsed.

After a while, the smoke cleared.

A dashing beauty with silver-white hair appeared before Chun Li and Li Pu, pinching the sharp-toothed woman's neck.

"What do you think you're doing to my sentence reduction project?" Her eyes were cold as she scanned the creatures under her feet and in her hands.

Gardenia stepped lightly on the bricks on the monster's body, as if walking in the hall of victory.

"She is, that person from last night?" Because it was dark last night, Chun Li barely recognized the person in front of her.

Little Pu silently admired the true face of the white-haired beauty.

The exquisite features and beautiful face were very pleasing to the eye, but at this time, the powerful temperament was full of heroism, making people not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts.

Gardenia's Hannya blood-stained blood-red prison uniform on her upper body was rolled up and wide open, revealing her navel and a white vest that rose and fell, exposing her strong abdominal muscles.

Her dark arms flickered with a faint red light, and symmetrical Sanskrit characters covered her shoulders to her collarbone.

The long pants of the original prison uniform were also cut off by her, and she was alive and well supported by her enchanting figure into hot pants.

At about 175cm, Gardenia's tall and proud figure made her curves slender, and her slightly fleshy white and beautiful legs were particularly eye-catching.

When Li Pu saw Gardenia wearing ordinary sneakers, he silently regretted in his heart: It's sneakers again, it would be great if they were high heels.

It's not like Chun Li, he doesn't feel sorry for her inconvenience in sports.

The gloomy woman, who had been looking casual and at ease, completely lost her composure after seeing Gardenia, and her whole body was shaking.

She was lifted high by Gardenia, her whole body exposed to the sunlight, and a large amount of black gas evaporated from her body.

"How could it be... Asura... is actually a true Asura?"

Chapter 25 The Second Patient Zero

"Ah, let me go! Let me go! Lord Asura, I surrender!"

It seemed that Gardenia aroused her stress-like howl.

"These are all the Queen's orders. I...I'm just a minion guarding the nobles' food. I was forced into it!" Black gas swirled around her as she trembled uncontrollably, her body and mind enduring double the torment.

The woman grew more and more hysterical.

Gardenia's cold eyes were full of disdain.

"I did it to survive! If I didn't join the ghoul group, I would die! I had no other choice! I'm even afraid of sunlight!"

Her wailing was extremely sorrowful, and Gardenia's expression grew colder and colder. "I'm not interested in listening to this nonsense. I just want to know where my sister is!"

"You're asking about the food? I don't know. I really don't know."

The woman's words filled Gardenia with anger, and her face became even more frosty.

"Eat~ Happiness~"

The mutated monster at her feet was about to raise its head when she lifted her leg into a split and stomped down hard with her long legs.

Li Pu vaguely saw a bear pattern...

Gardenia glanced at the scene in the dark room and said through gritted teeth, "You must be very satisfied with this job, guarding an endless supply of food, free and unrestrained."

"How many people did you kill to win this job? How many children did you kill and store here?"

Without waiting for the woman to speak, Gardenia continued coldly, "Were you happy when you killed them? Proud? Did you go to your Queen to ask for credit and rewards?"

"How many more of these food warehouses do you have?!"

The woman hurriedly defended herself, "No, it's not just my fault. After the Apocalypse broke out, humans were also hunting and devouring each other. All species are like this! It's the food chain!"

"Where is your ghoul's lair?! Tell me!" Gardenia squeezed even harder.

"I don't know, Asura-sama. I only guard. Someone comes to pick it up regularly, cough cough cough."

"Please let me go, Asura-sama. You've already won. No one here is your opponent. According to the rules of the Fusang Anomaly, you are the Ghost King! I will only listen to you from now on. Don't kill me!" Her eyes were full of painful pleas, and her tone became more and more humble.
