Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 155 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (8)

With the help of a means of transportation and the timely human-shaped "cheat code," the group quickly arrived at the neighboring city of A.

Following Jiang Weilan's instructions, Si Yan drove towards the research center.

Zhang Lie leaned back in his chair and asked Jiang Weilan, who was sitting in front of him, "Dr. Jiang, did you work in City A before?"

Jiang Weilan felt that Zhang Lie's question was somewhat redundant: "Although my workplace is in City C, it's normal to go on business trips, isn't it?"

Zhang Lie said dumbfoundedly, "Oh right... I thought you only worked in City C!"

Hearing the two mention City C, Shi Qi suddenly remembered that he was also from City C. If he remembered correctly, the zombie virus seemed to have broken out in City C...

Before he could connect the dots, a violent impact pulled him back to reality. Come to think of it, he'd only been distracted for this one moment, how could this have happened...?

Sitting in the back seat, Ye Xin, looking out the window, was completely unaware of what had happened in front of her: "What happened? Boss? Did you hit something?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, because right in front of the car stood a tall and strong zombie, his hands pressed firmly against the deformed front of the car, making it impossible for the car to move an inch.

Jiang Weilan reassured the troops, saying, "Don't worry, this zombie isn't at an advanced level yet."

Ling Wei raised her question: "But... if they're not at the advanced level, why would they block our car?" After all, Si Yan, a level six ability user, was in their car...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weilan lowered his eyes and began to ponder. But the zombie in front of the car did not give him the patience to think about the problem; it began to frantically pound on the car, trying to completely destroy it.

Without waiting for Jiang Weilan to figure something out, Si Yan decisively opened the car door and got out.

Shi Qi did not stop Si Yan from getting out of the car, because he probably already knew why the zombies were blocking the way.

It is known that the higher the level of the zombie, the stronger its mental power, and the more it resembles a human in various aspects. Humans, however, exist in groups. In the original storyline, the protagonist and his companions encountered a level seven zombie at a research center in City A. This level seven zombie used its mental power to control many lower-level zombies to work for it.

The difference is that there were no zombies blocking the way in the original story. Shi Qi speculated that the plot might have been slightly altered because of his arrival.

But it's not a big problem. He'll protect Si Yan until he truly matures...

As soon as someone got out of the car, the zombies' attention was immediately drawn to Si Yan.

While in the car, Si Yan observed that the zombie's attacks were all purely physical. Logically, its physical resistance should be quite good; he just didn't know how its "magical" resistance was...

Thinking this, Si Yan gathered the power of lightning in his hands and attacked the zombie directly.

The zombie was obviously clumsy, and even if it kept its eyes on Si Yan, it couldn't dodge his attacks at all.

Clearly, Si Yan's attack was effective; the zombie's entire skin turned charred black with that single blow. Logically, the zombie should have been largely incapacitated by now, but perhaps due to being controlled by a higher-level zombie, it remained standing, attempting to attack Si Yan.

However, it was only at its last gasp, and Si Yan's lightning struck again. This time, the zombie could no longer hold on, its knees buckled, and it collapsed to the ground.

Si Yan clapped his hands and returned to the car. Jiang Weilan still hadn't figured out why this was happening. Si Yan didn't disturb him, started the engine, and prepared to continue driving...

"Buzz—" The car didn't start... "Buzz—" The car still couldn't start.

With a dark expression and a furrowed brow, Si Yan got out of the car again and lifted the hood. Sure enough, it was the worst-case scenario—the engine had been damaged by zombies.

Although he really wanted to kick the zombie remains on the ground, he definitely wouldn't do something so despicable in order to maintain his image in front of everyone... cough cough!

Si Yan lowered the hood, opened the car door again, and said to everyone in the car, "The engine has been damaged by zombies, let's get out first."

Although the car broke down, at least they had already reached downtown A city, so finding a usable car shouldn't be too difficult...

Zhang Lie looked up to the sky and roared, "My God! Isn't there a single usable vehicle here?!"

Ye Xin: "Judging from the current situation... yes, that's right." Upon hearing this, everyone present... and standing was speechless. Of course, zombies don't fall into the category of "humans," since it was already known that the high-level zombies in the city were responsible. To prevent their "food" from escaping, they destroyed all the vehicles and such...

Si Yan: "It seems we'll have to walk there... Dr. Jiang, how far are we from the research center?"

Jiang Weilan's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Si Yan's question, and she was still a little confused: "What did you just ask?"

Si Yan wasn't dissatisfied with this at all. The team members were already used to Jiang Weilan's habit of not listening to human speech once she started thinking: "I'm asking you, how far is it from here to the research center?"

Jiang Weilan replied without hesitation: "At our walking pace, including rest time, it should be around ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

It's only a little past 1 p.m., and the sun sets around 5:30 p.m.... so it's quite far...

Ye Xin: "By the way, Doctor, do you have any clue about that question from earlier? Why are the zombies blocking our way?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weilan's expression turned serious: "I can't say I'm completely sure, but I suspect it might be related to a high-level zombie. I suspect that a high-level zombie instructed this low-level zombie to block our way."

Zhang Lie: "But...didn't you say that low-level zombies usually avoid high-level zombies?"

“Perhaps this high-level zombie has some special ability to control low-level zombies…” Jiang Weilan explained again, “Of course, as I said, these are all my guesses.”

Although it was just a guess, it wasn't far from the truth. But how did he guess so accurately?

Thinking about the things he hadn't finished considering before the zombie attack, Shi Qi suddenly had an idea...

"007, do you think Jiang Weilan is really just an ordinary biology PhD?"
