Chapter 163 Zombie Empress (94)
(Heurn Province- Fagong City)
(Outskirts Of The City)
"Absolutely not!" Eve spoke harshly as she listened to the insane plan that her favourite human had just suggested.
"Listen… I know that this plan takes a certain amount of risks but it is the only way that we can maintain the element of surprise," Qin Lan softly whispered.
"Eve… I don\'t want this threat hanging over our heads for months or even years. We need to deal with it now."
"We knew that it would be dangerous from the beginning… I understand the risks…"
The zombie empress frowned unhappily as she turned her head away and refused to look at her favourite human.
She felt deeply unhappy that Qin Lan wanted to put herself in harm\'s way. Especially considering that she did not want anything bad to happen to her favourite human.
Qin Lan smiled gently and leaned in closer to plant a small kiss against her cheek. She stretched out her hand and touched Eve\'s palm.
Eve\'s skin was cool to the touch, but Qin Lan still enjoyed holding and getting close to her. She squeezed Eve\'s hand twice and then turned her attention back to the road.
There was a brief moment of awkward silence in the car as both women did not know how to break the strange mood.
Liu Yifei and Gong Li were still sleeping in the backseat while Eve refused to say a word. Qin Lan let out a light sigh since she knew that Eve would be unhappy.
But there was no other choice.
Subject 001\'s ability to sense Eve meant that it would be impossible to ambush him successfully if Eve was part of the group.
The only ones who could approach without being caught were herself and the two teenage girls.
Even then Qin Lan planned to rub pieces of dead zombie meat all over their clothes in order to hide their scents.
The plan that she had was to approach the military base disguised as regular zombies and infiltrate the compound.
Once they found Subject 001, Qin Lan would notify Eve somehow and she would step within the sensing range of the monster.
He would undoubtedly be distracted for a brief moment and that would be enough for Qin Lan to kill him.
It was simple and straightforward plan with numerous ways that it could go wrong but that it was the best that Qin Lan could come up with under the circumstances.
The only part that she hadn\'t figured out yet was how to notify Eve from several kilometres away.
The method she could think of was to use a puppet to make some sort of signal when she wanted Eve to move within range.
But then she would need to break the mind of someone…
Qin Lan was disguised at how indifferent she felt at the thought of shattering someone\'s consciousness and turning them into a plaything.
She needed to be careful when using her power… it was incredibly addicting, and Qin Lan did not plan to become like one of the monsters in the original Qin Lan\'s memories.
Those who used their abilities to abuse and hurt the innocent.
"At the first sign of danger… I want you to run," Eve\'s soft voice interrupted Qin Lan\'s musings. The zombie empress turned to face her favourite human with a serious look in her eyes.
"Promise me that you will run away if things get even slightly dangerous."
"I promise," Qin Lan swore with a determined expression on her face. She did not know what would happen in the future but had no plan to throw her life away.
She still needed to accomplish her mission to eliminate the villainess of this plane and she also wanted to live a lifetime with Eve.
Qin Lan felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in her heart when she saw the relieved look on Eve\'s face.
Eve genuinely cared about her, and it was obvious from her actions that she loved her very much.
Fuck it.
What was the point of waiting for the perfect opportunity when she could be killed anytime during the apocalypse.
Qin Lan gently pressed her foot against the break and the car shuddered to a halt. She grabbed Eve\'s shirt and pulled her in until their lips were mere inches apart.
"I\'m going to give my answer to your confession," Qin Lan said solemnly as she carefully gazed at Eve\'s face.
She was truly beautiful. Her facial features were absolutely perfect. Sharp angular features, unblemished skin and plump rosy lips that were incredibly kissable.
Qin Lan leaned forward and captured Eve\'s lips in a passionate kiss that took both of their breaths away.
She stuck out her tongue and explored Eve\'s mouth in a display of boldness that shocked even Qin Lan herself.
Eve moaned softly as she felt her favourite human\'s warm touch. Qin Lan closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweet sensation of kissing the one she loved.
The kiss only lasted for a few minutes and yet it felt like an eternity before Qin Lan opened her eyes and broke away.
"I love you…" Qin Lan happily whispered as she raised up her hand and caressed the side of Eve\'s cheeks.
"I love you too," Eve immediately replied as a faint reddish blush began to spread across her face.
Qin Lan smiled sweetly and then turned her attention back to the road. She placed her foot on the accelerator and gently pressed down.
The car drove forward into the night and this time the quiet atmosphere in the car had a tinge of sweetness.
Qin Lan was in such a good mood that she was able to ignore the rotting corpses and bodies that lay on the side of the road.
The nearby zombies were attracted to the loud engine noises, but Qin Lan drove too fast for them to catch up.
"Eve… I just have to ask…" Qin Lan hesitantly spoke.
"Why me? I mean… you are so beautiful and strong. Why did you fall in love with me?"
The zombie empress thought about it for a few moments and then opened her mouth to reply,
"I felt a connection to you that made me seek you out, but it was only after getting to know you that my heart felt warm and complete."
"A connection?" Qin Lan asked curiously.
A blurry memory briefly surfaced in her mind, and she could vaguely make out two feminine figures standing next to each other in some kind of ceremony.
Unfortunately, the memory disappeared just as quickly as it surfaced, and Qin Lan was left with more questions than answers.
