(Outskirts of Heurn Province)
(Hidden Location- Secret Military Complex)
"Please… protect me one more time. I promise that you will never see me again… I will live a life of peace away from society…" Qin Wei pleaded desperately.
"I regret what I did… you were the only one… listen… let me go and I will never see you again… we can still be siblings…"
"I'm your brother… you are my sister… remember that you promised our parents to look after me…"
Qin Wei stared at his sister with no trace of hatred in his eyes. His voice seemed to be filled with genuine grief and sorrow.
The instinct to survive and his fear of death had caused Qin Wei to suppress his hatred and speak in a reasonable tone.
Even if he had difficulty lying, Subject 001 was more than happy to mentally stabilise his host even if it meant that his control of their shared body slipped away.
All that mattered now was survival.
Eve raised up her hand and prepared to drive her black claws into the young teenage boy's face when a soft hand stopped her.
The zombie empress stared at her favourite human with an expression of disbelief, but Qin Lan slowly shook her head.
"Let me tell him something first…" Qin Lan whispered as she knelt down and stared into her younger brother's pitch-black eyes.
Eve grabbed Qin Wei's arms and legs and slowly crushed them so that the zombie-human hybrid would be unable to do any surprise attacks.
This was a foolish decision and the reasonable and rational part of Qin Lan's mind wanted to order Eve to kill Subject 001 and be done with it but…
pαndα noνɐ1,сoМ The original Qin Lan deserved a chance to speak. Qin Lan closed her eyes and immersed herself in the original Qin Lan's memories.
When she opened them, her body language changed slightly but she was still the same person as before.
It was just that now she was influenced even more by the original Qin Lan's personality so the words that she was about to say came from the heart.
"Did you know… even when her sanity was being taken away by her ability… she still loved and protected you?" Qin Lan suddenly spoke some strange words.
"If you had just reached out your hand and helped her the way that she helped you survive… then perhaps I would have never been sent here…"
"She loved you too much… and was blind to see the monster that you had become…"
"You felt jealousy and hatred towards the woman who looked after you regardless of her health and happiness…"
"What? She? Who are you talking about?" Qin Wei asked in confusion.
Qin Lan opened her mouth to clarify that she was talking about his original sister, but no words would escape her lips.
She tried again but still no matter what she did, she was unable to tell the young teenager collapsed on the ground the truth.
"Kill him Eve," Qin Lan finally spoke as she got up from the ground and refused to look away. If she gave out the order, then she needed to have the courage to look.
Eve growled hoarsely and then penetrated Qin Wei's forehead using her black claws which easily sliced through the thin layer of flesh.
"Arghhhh! YOU BITCH HOW COULD YOU KILL YOUR ONLY…" Qin Wei's words were abruptly cut off as Eve ripped out a large purplish-black crystal from his head.
The young man fell silent, and the life slowly drained out of his pitch-black eyes. This time Eve was taking no chances and she immediately tore apart his body.
Qin Lan bowed her head as she looked at the horrific scene. It was finally over… both her brother and Subject 001 were now dead.
Even now she had mixed feelings about what had just happened, and she could only hope that the original Qin Lan would have approved of her actions.
This world… was a horrible place.
A large part of her hoped that not every mission would be like this. Qin Lan let out a heavy sigh as the surrounding temperatures began to rise.
With Subject 001 dead, his ability was no longer active, and the ice was already beginning to melt under the hot sun.
"Are you hurt badly?" a soft voice gently asked. Qin Lan turned in the direction of the voice and saw Eve walking over in her human appearance.
"We need to get you immediate medical treatment…"
Eve's words were cut off as Qin Lan grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in for a fiery kiss on the lips.
The zombie empress closed her eyes and moaned as Qin Lan's tongue darted forward and explored the inside of her mouth.
There was a hunger and passion in Qin Lan's kiss that reflected the relief in her heart that they had managed to survive the encounter.
After a few minutes, Qin Lan broke away from the kiss and stared at Eve with obvious love in her eyes.
"Hey… we should probably go look for Liu Yifei and Gong Li…" Qin Lan smiled happily as she spoke.
"One more please…" Eve whined softly as she stepped forward and this time, she was the one who engulfed Qin Lan's lips with a passionate kiss.
Qin Lan enjoyed the moment as she felt Eve's warm body press against hers. There was a familiarity to her embrace and a sense of comfort that felt good.
If it wasn't for Eve, then this mission would have broken her. Just knowing that someone loved her no matter what was incredibly liberating.
"Alright…alright… we really have to… hiss…" Qin Lan flinched as she touched the side of her right shoulder and bloodstains appeared on her makeshift bandages.
Unfortunately, she did not possess a healing factor so her injuries from the fight would not easily recover.
"Let's go find Liu Yifei and get proper bandages," Eve said seriously as she lifted up Qin Lan in her arms and held her in a princess carry.
Qin Lan snuggled against her lover's chest and watched lazily as the zombie empress carried her through a world of ice and snow.
Her eyes began to struggle to stay open as she felt an overwhelming wave of tiredness and exhaustion hit her all at once.
The stress of the fight and then tense moment when she had decided to kill her brother had put an enormous amount of mental strain and pressure on her.
Qin Lan fought desperately to remain awake but eventually the world around her faded away into darkness.
