Scratching her head, Jiao Lizhi replied, "That person was actually one of my classmates. Her name is Mo Bingxue, and she was Pei Yijun’s team member before. I don’t know what happened to her, but she turned into a zombie the next time I met her."
"But before she became a zombie, she had a healing ability. During our battle, I noticed she was targeting me and seemed to retain her memories. She even had consciousness," she added.
After hearing his girlfriend’s explanation, Jin Xuyan suddenly asked, "Ah Zhi, what’s her name again?"
"Mo Bingxue."
Seeing her boyfriend frown, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Brother Yan, do you know her?"
"She might be Mo Junjie’s cousin. Old Zhang told me about him looking for his cousin and posting a missing person notice at Xun Che’s base. Old Zhang said the person he was looking for was named Mo Bingxue," Jin Xuyan said with a sigh.
Jiao Lizhi was shocked when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Brother Yan, should we tell Mo Junjie about this? It’s not good for him to keep searching when she is already gone."
"We will tell him the truth when we return to Xun Che’s base. If he wants to leave, we won’t force him to stay," Jin Xuyan said.
"Will he hate us for killing his cousin?" Jiao Lizhi asked.
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan smiled and replied, "Don’t worry. What we killed was a zombie, not a human. Even if he learns we were the ones who killed her, he has no reason to hate us. After all, we only did it because she had turned and was trying to kill us."
Jiao Lizhi nodded, then asked again, "Then what about your friend?"
Jin Xuyan looked at his friend and noticed that he was staring at them with interest. Although he no longer had the zombie virus inside him, the facility had put a tracker on him.
If they let him out, the facility might track his location and endanger his girlfriend and team. Before he was strong enough, he wouldn’t confront the facility head-on.
After weighing the pros and cons, he finally said, "Ah Zhi, if possible, it’s better for him to stay in your space. If you are worried, you can put restrictions on him like you did with the mutant animals."
When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi looked at her boyfriend and said, "Brother Yan, I thought you had a good relationship with him."
"We are best friends and grew up together," Jin Xuyan replied.
"Then how could you treat him like the mutant animals?" she asked.
"It’s just an example," he said helplessly.
Jiao Lizhi gave him another glance before she said, "I won’t restrict him. As long as he is in my space, I can continue to monitor his movement and use my consciousness to control him if he suddenly goes crazy."
"Alright then, I will listen to you," Jin Xuyan smiled.
After their discussion, Jiao Lizhi went to the kitchen and made some food. She cooked a pot of steamed rice, roasted a chicken, brewed hot and sour fish soup, and fried several eggs.
’From the way he ate, he must have been raised like an animal in the facility,’ he thought inwardly.
Jin Xuyan smiled at her words but said nothing. He didn’t want to tell her about the facility yet. He would wait until he was stronger before he told her everything.
