"Chen Xing is the apex of mutated zombies. She possesses a completely humanoid appearance, so most people simply regard her as an ordinary human."
"She can control an enormous number of zombies and seems to have other formidable abilities, though no one has ever witnessed them."
"Anyone who has probably met their end."
As soon as Ning Xuan finished speaking, Ning Yu immediately asked:
"Why would such an intelligent zombie be part of your organization?"
Ning Xuan shook her head in response.
"It’s all the work of that certain individual. I’m not entirely sure myself."
She paused, then continued:
"Then there’s Lacy, the only fully cybernetically enhanced human. It’s said she was created by a deceased friend of that individual."
"William?"
Ning Yu blurted out the name.
"Huh?"
Ning Xuan looked puzzled, seemingly unfamiliar with the name.
"Never mind, it’s not important. Go on."
Ning Yu shook her head, realizing that the secret within the virus serum had yet to be discovered by others.
"Lacy is primarily responsible for matters related to the various survivor bases."
"As you can see, even this 'Ark' base is managed by her subordinates."
She revealed another startling fact.
"So, these survivor bases are actually established with some ulterior motive."
Shen Yiyue murmured to herself, lost in thought.
So far, all that’s known is that Zhuang Wugou periodically assigns tasks to certain awakened individuals, sending them as sacrifices to the mutated zombies.
The lives of ordinary people in the base seem to be going well, but it’s clear this isn’t charity work.
Moreover, there’s another issue: Zhuang Wugou hasn’t been in contact with his organization for some time now.
Lin Hao has secretly taken over the entire base, and it seems no one has noticed.
Is the organization’s management really that lax?
But Lin Hao also hasn’t received any communication from them.
Regardless, another fact has come to light: multiple survivor bases have been established in the new order following the catastrophe.
"Why were these survivor bases created?"
Ning Yu tried to ask Ning Xuan if she knew any details.
"It’s not just the survivor bases. The zombie horde led by Chen Xing also seems to be assisting in some massive project."
"After all, zombies don’t need rest or much sustenance. They’re the perfect replacement for human laborers."
"If I’m not mistaken, all of this is for that ritual—the one originally intended to kill my sister and me."
Ning Xuan offered her own speculation.
"The so-called path to the origin?"
Ning Yu raised an eyebrow, bringing the conversation back to this ultimate goal, which also seems to be the root cause of the sisters’ tragic lives.
"I really don’t see what’s so great about that place. Everyone seems obsessed with getting there."
Ning Yu shrugged, while Shen Yiyue beside her asked another question:
"If the organization wanted to kill you two sisters, why would they let Ning Xuan come to find Ning Yu? Aren’t you both trying to escape from there?"
"It’s simple."
Ning Xuan lifted her hand from the table, and in an instant, her fair skin was replaced by a cybernetic device, transforming into a sharp, gleaming metal blade.
"I underwent cybernetic enhancement. During the process, they tried to alter my memories, but I tampered with it, so the modifications to my brain weren’t fully completed."
"Thus, the memories I was supposed to lose were preserved."
"Being in this position within the organization allows me to help my sister more effectively, so I only needed to pretend their modifications were successful."
After demonstrating, she retracted the blade, and her hand returned to its normal human appearance, leaving Shen Yiyue staring in astonishment.
"So, Sister, did you come directly to me because you already have a plan, or are you in some kind of danger?"
Ning Xuan steered the conversation back on track, addressing the issue she was most concerned about.
"You know, aside from those who want to capture me and bring me back, there are others who want me dead."
Ning Yu placed a water glass on the table, then added another, representing a separate force with a different agenda.
"Yes, so Sister really does know."
Ning Xuan’s eyes filled with even greater concern upon hearing Ning Yu’s words.
"Chen Xing wants me dead."
Ning Yu pointed to the glass representing the force that wanted her dead, directly revealing its identity.
"What?!"
Ning Xuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"How could it be... That individual’s orders have always been to capture Sister alive. How could she dare to defy them...?"
Ning Yu picked up the glass and shook it.
"In three days, the zombie horde will come for me."
"No matter where I am, Chen Xing will surround me with her army of the undead."
"Based on the current situation, if I face her directly..."
Ning Yu glanced at Shen Yiyue, who had struggled countless times in parallel timelines.
"I’m as good as dead."
"How could it be...?"
Ning Xuan was still reeling from this shocking revelation.
"But maybe I don’t need to defeat her head-on. Your organization isn’t as united as it seems."
Ning Yu placed the glass representing the other force next to the one representing Chen Xing.
"I just need to borrow some of this power."
She applied a bit of force, and both glasses cracked slightly before shattering with a sharp sound.
Ning Yu gestured, and Shen Yiyue reached out at just the right moment, restoring the glasses to their original state.
"So, Sister, you need me to handle this."
Ning Xuan, being clever, immediately understood Ning Yu’s meaning.
"Exactly. I need you to return to your organization and help me borrow some of that other force’s power."
Ning Yu handed the restored glass to Ning Xuan.
"Whether it’s information, strength, or Chen Xing’s weaknesses—anything will do. As long as someone doesn’t want me dead and wants me alive, they can be used."
After listening to Ning Yu’s plan, Ning Xuan pondered for a moment, then agreed:
"Leave it to me, Sister."
"Rather than fleeing to a 'safe' place, the only way forward is to solve the problem—though it doesn’t have to be through direct confrontation."
Ning Yu added, knowing full well that, as only she and Shen Yiyue understood, fleeing would be futile against Chen Xing’s pursuit.
In that case, taking the initiative was the only way to gain the upper hand, rather than waiting to be cornered.
"This time, I’ll make her pay."
Ning Yu recalled the sight of Shen Yiyue dying before her eyes, the rage and despair that had consumed her entire being.
Even now, the memory stirred emotions she could hardly suppress.
She would make this arrogant creature face the consequences of her actions.

Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities.
