side character transmigration: the final boss is no joke

19

Shi Sheng didn't take too long to open the door. Just as the Qing Yu trio were beginning to express their worship for their boss, the door started closing. The speed at which it was closing was twice as fast as when it opened.

"Get in quick!" Shi Sheng pushed Qing Yu and Lin Feng in before following them and dragging Little Fatty in behind her.

Song Shi's gang sprinted for the door but were too late. The door had already shut. Everyone else stuck in the lab were even worse off.

"This Gu Nan is too selfish! She only brought her own people and ran off! Humph, think you can survive just by going out? Watch as she turns into a zombie."

"She really had a way to get out?"

"Chet, don't know where that place even leads to, so don't be happy yet. Maybe there are zombies there."

These people naturally criticised Gu Nan for running off on her own. And after criticising, they started to viciously curse her.

"She left the painting behind." Someone picked up the rolled-up painting on the ground.

These few days Gu Nan had been staring at that painting. At first, some people had gone over to take a look out of curiosity but they couldn't make heads or tails out of that graffitied mess.

"Can you let me see it for a while?" Qi Mingxue asked in a gentle tone. The person with the painting seemed flattered as he nodded his head and handed it over.

Qi Mingxue then lifted the painting up for Song Shi to see. "Ah Shi, can you find anything?"
......

"Heavens, Boss, there's more of those things here than outside!" Little Fatty spoke in a trembling voice, his expression showing terror as he looked at the glass tanks everywhere.

There were a lot of tanks densely packed together. Some contained those half-man half-zombie things from outside but some were empty. There was clearly more information about the lab and its workings here rather than outside.

In 1959, after a heavy downpour, someone discovered a corpse. That corpse showed no signs of decomposition. The corpse was sent here and a research team was founded especially to investigate it.

The corpse in the lab had a miraculous genome. These genes had allowed his body to resist degradation. And so began a series of experiments to investigate the nature of these genes. The purpose was to find out whether or not humans could utilise them.

The people inside the tanks were the result of these experiments.

It was started again some years later. The timing of the restart was around the time Cheng Su had joined the project she mentioned in her diary. The data gathered from the experiments indicated that not only would the corpse not decompose, it was no different from a normal human—aside from the fact that it had no breath or heartbeat.

And so, someone made a bold suggestion. They wanted to revive the body.

"There's nothing else... Reviving a dead person... isn't that unbelievable?" Qing Yu tossed the folder in his hand aside.

Little Fatty asked, "Then did they manage to find a way to revive it?"

"Don't know. All the information ends here. The rest was probably taken away by someone... where's Boss?" Qing Yu scanned his surroundings before finally finding Gu Nan behind some glass tubes.

The three looked at each other and made their way over to her quickly. In front of Shi Sheng was a crystal coffin. The things etched on it were very strange, looking as if they were some kind of totems.
