Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Lin Hao Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Lin Hao By the ti Su Jiyai finished her workout, it was lunchti.
After having her lunch, Su Jiyai set out on the journey to distribute flyers.
This ti she decided to move towards the direction of Willow land.
Maybe…she could investigate a bit and get to know sothing?
Halfway through, a man suddenly jumped in front of Su Jiyai’s car.
Su Jiyai slamd on the brakes, her heart racing.
The car skidded to a stop just inches from the man.
She quickly got out, ready for anything.
The man was disheveled and clearly desperate.
He was 5’5, and had fair skin, and blue hair.
His eyes were blue too.
Handso was the only word that could be used to describe him.
“Please, help ,” he gasped, his eyes wide with fear.
Su Jiyai took a cautious step forward.
“What happened?” she asked, keeping her distance.
“The zombies…
they attacked my group.
I was the only one who managed to escape,” the man explained, his voice trembling.
His head was lowered.
Su Jiyai carefully observed the man and realized that the man was gravely injured.
She couldn’t afford to trust just anyone, especially in these tis.
But leaving him here to die wasn’t an option either.
“Get in the car,” she finally said.
“I’ll take you to a safe place.” The man gratefully climbed into the car, and Su Jiyai resud driving.
Thinking she could get another tenant, Su Jiyai was happy.
Suddenly the man ducked down.
Su Jiyai who was observing the man raised an eyebrow and subconsciously beca alert.
“Please don’t hand over them!
Please, savior!
I beg you!” The man suddenly started to beg.
“What’s your na?” “Lin Hao,” he replied, still looking around nervously.
“Lin Hao, I want you to answer my question truthfully, otherwise I will kick you out.” Su Jiyai said in a cold voice.
Lin Hao’s body trembled under Su Jiyai’s cold gaze.
Though he can’t see Su Jiyai’s face, he can sense the coldness in the air.
(Author: Um…are you sure it’s not from AC?) “Did you or did you not lie to before?” Su Jiyai asked.
“I…” Lin Hao swallowed but under the pressure, he told the truth, “I lied…” “What is the truth?” Su Jiyai continued to ask.
Logic says she should kick out a liar, however, her instincts as a soldier told her…Lin Hao was an honest man.
Though…it looks like he was hiding sothing…
Lin Hao was slightly taken aback by Su Jiyai’s words.
He expected Su Jiyai to kick him out the mont he answered the first question, but Su Jiyai continued to inquire.
This shows Su Jiyai wasn’t an unreasonable person.
And maybe…just maybe she will help him…
“I was a normal citizen just a year ago.
To survive I joined an institute that promised to give proper als and a safe place to stay.
However, before accepting , they asked to take a vaccination.
They would inject so dicine in to prevent from turning into a zombie even if a zombie bite .
I instantly declined.
If such a vaccine existed, why would humans be on the verge of extinction?
Later in charge person talked with for 10 minutes.
For so reason, I agreed.
After the dicine was injected into , I felt as if I would explode.
My bones started to crack and my skin was turning red.
My body swelled and I thought I would die for sure.” Horror appeared in Lin Hao’s eyes.
Just reminiscing those mories was enough to make him tremble.
“By the ti I opened my eyes, I was lying…among skeletons…tons of skeletons.
To be precise it was a huge hall with high walls and just a small window as an exit.
Just as I was wondering as to why I was there, the footsteps sounded and I heard so conversation.
‘How sad!
I thought with the death of that person, we would have so extra at!
But his skin was poisoned…I still feel angry at the re thought of how the institute lost an awakening potion and in the end, all we got was poisoned at.
Loss!
It was a huge loss!
Uh!
Neither at persevered nor a superhuman was created!’ I understood they were talking about .
After they finished their conversation, they opened the exit and threw a human skeleton in…” Lin Hao almost puked when he rembered the scene.
“So you escaped and asked for help?” Su Jiyai asked.
However, in her mind, she doubted the ti fra.
Didn’t he say he went to the institute a year ago?
So was he in a coma for a year?
But…how can the human body survive the coma if no nutrition is supplied?
Her case was different since she had the system by her side.
“No…I woke up just an hour after I was thrown…I tried to quietly escape but was caught.
When the researcher of the institutes saw , their interest peaked.
For the past year…they have been injecting all kinds of dicine into .
Finally today I was able to escape.” Lin Hao explained.
Su Jiyai stared at Lin Hao’s expression and finally realized what Lin Hao was hiding…
“You want to help you?” Su Jiyai asked calmly.
“Savior, can you?
It would be a great favor if you can!
Please!
Please savior…” Lin Hao started to beg.
“I can’t.” Su Jiyai calmly said.
“Why?” Lin Hao was shocked.
According to the interaction just now, he evaluated Su Jiyai as a kind person.
So why is she refusing to help?
“My first condition for helping you was…you will tell the truth.
However, you are still hiding sothing from .
Do you think I am a fool?” “No savior!
I didn’t!
I am not hiding anything from you…” “Get out.” Su Jiyai said calmly.
“No please listen to …” “Get out.” Su Jiyai didn’t budge.
Lin Hao suddenly lowered his head, “I truly am not lying…” His aura turned gloomy suddenly.
A hint of loneliness appeared in his eyes.
“Are you leaving on your own, or shall I personally throw you out?” “Why do you want to know the truth?” Lin Hao suddenly asked.
His voice was frighteningly calm.
His deanour changed too.
Earlier he looked like a pitiful puppy but now, he looked as if he was indifferent to the worldly affair.
However, his words indicated that Su Jiyai’s guess was correct.
“You are wrong.” Su Jiyai said calmly and looked at Lin Hao through the rearview mirror, “I wanted to know the truth, I don’t want to know it anymore.
You can leave.” Lin Hao indifferently gazed at Su Jiyai.
His beautiful blue eyes slowly filled with malice and he chuckled, “Are you a mber of the institute too?” Su Jiyai paused.
Why did Lin Hao suspect that she was a mber of the institute?
“What if I am and what if I am not?” Su Jiyai didn’t answer him straightaway and asked instead.
“If you are then sorry…I will have to kill you.” Lin Hao’s eyes color suddenly changed.
[Host!
Danger detected!
Initiating ergency asures!] Suddenly two seatbelt straps shot out from the seats, binding Lin Hao tightly.
The car doors automatically locked, trapping him inside.
Su Jiyai’s system wasn’t taking any chances.
Lin Hao only chuckled, because, the next mont an invisible force wrapped around Su Jiyai’s neck.
“Do you think, physically restricting save you?” [Danger!
Danger detected!
Host in danger!
Initiating ergency asures!] Before Su Jiyai could feel any tightening around her neck, a single strand from Su Jiyai’s veil wrapped around her and protected her from the invisible force.
Lin Hao’s eyes darkened.
In a gloomy tone, he said, “So you are from those institutes.” There was certainty in his tone.
“Why do you think so?” Su Jiyai asked.
She looked as if she wasn’t the one who was attacked just now.
Lin Hao didn’t answer Su Jiyai, “Do you plan to hand to them?” Su Jiyai leaned on her seat, “Now I am much more comfortable.
Your previous act…was too unfitting.” How could a human tortured for a year, act so pitiful?
Humans who bear too much torture slowly turn cruel.
They wouldn’t turn weak, they would gain a strong will.
A will that will not bend in front of others…
Adversaries make humans strong not weak.
And if soone acts weak even after enduring so much…it could only an they are faking it.
There were also so loopholes in Lin Hao’s story.
He was caught just because he was alive?
Even if the researchers were curious about him, they wouldn’t experint on him for a year straight if he didn’t have sothing valuable on him…
Su Jiyai’s words caught Lin Hao off guard and he frowned slightly.
“You…don’t belong to the institute?” Lin Hao asked with uncertainty.
For the first ti in the last year, he was doubting his judgnt.
