Chapter 121: Those Who Pretend and Manipulate Cannot Be Forgiven

“Someone must be using scientific methods to nurture these zombies,” Chen Yi declared resolutely, his gaze unwavering.

Judging by the movements and expressions of the zombies at the scene, it was clear how deeply repulsive they were. Yet, such abhorrent creatures could never have evolved so intricately without the persistent influence of humanity’s tangled power. It now seemed that the root of the problem lay largely within humankind itself.

With this in mind, Chen Yi resolved to make careful arrangements regarding the matter. After all, if it meant confronting humanity itself, the conflict would inevitably be prolonged—a prospect he did not wish for, yet could not avoid. Once more, he turned his gaze to Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi held Chen Yaxi’s hand and smiled calmly. “Whatever decision you make, we’re behind you. We’re in this together, so don’t worry—no matter who the opposition is, as long as we stand united, we’ll catch them off guard. But remember, you can’t carry all this alone.”

“All right, I understand. Rest assured, I’ll make proper arrangements.”

“No need for you to arrange everything!” Chen Yaxi chimed in playfully. “Let us help too! Why does it always have to be you making plans? What’s the fun in that?”

“Little one, I understand your heart!” Chen Yi’s eyes held a determined glint. “Since you say so, I’ll rely on you when the time comes.”

Chen Yaxi clapped her hands in delight. “That’s the spirit! We’re friends—why shouldn’t we face problems together?”

Chen Yi nodded, though he had his own considerations regarding the matter.

“These people dare to use the power of zombies so recklessly because they believe it’s easy to control. But, pardon my bluntness, ‘Frozen Zombies’ don’t necessarily lose the ability to think for themselves. Soon, they’ll pay dearly for their ignorance!”

“Well, that’s their choice!” Chen Yaxi waved dismissively, sticking out her tongue. “I’m telling you, we can’t be soft-hearted. They brought this on themselves.”

“Don’t worry, I know.” Chen Yi nodded again, his eyes resolute.

“Do we really need to talk about our roles here?”

“Alright, you don’t need to keep saying that—if my sister hears, she’ll think you’re up to something with me!”

Chu Yunxi coughed and shot the young girl a look. “You’re so young, thinking about all sorts of nonsense. Little one, I have no ulterior motives toward you.”

“Alright, alright, sister—am I wrong?”

“Fine, I won’t hold it against you.”

Turning her attention back to Chen Yi, Chu Yunxi suggested a division of labor. “Now that we know Lu Kai and his team have the strength to overwhelm some zombies and other enemies, why not gather all those foes spotted on the island together and let them handle it on their own?”

Chen Yi had considered this and agreed. “Wife, you always think things through.”

“Stop flattering me,” Chu Yunxi replied with a wry smile, though she had her own fresh perspective.

Once the warriors’ strength was consolidated, they might form an anti-zombie force. If this force could completely suppress the mutated zombies, it could then be deployed for other tasks, gradually expanding its reach.

“That’s an interesting new topic,” Chen Yi mused. “Your proposal makes sense. I can support it, but it’ll require some technical solutions.”

“That depends on whether you can get the equipment. I studied those fields before, so if you supply the gear, I can conduct some experiments. But our research won’t come at the cost of others.”

Her words struck a chord with Chen Yi, who nodded repeatedly. “Exactly. I won’t sacrifice others for progress.”

Chu Yunxi smiled gently. “Since you’ve decided, why haven’t you answered me yet?”

“I’ll follow your lead,” Chen Yi replied, nodding at her. “We’ll do it your way.”

“It’s settled, then!” With these words, Chu Yunxi’s smile softened into relief.

To spend a lifetime with a good husband like Chen Yi made her feel her life was worthwhile, though now was not the time for sentimentality. She quickly mobilized all resources aboard the warship, adjusted the necessary equipment, and prepared for a sonar attack.

Though zombies couldn’t be destroyed outright by sonar, they were peculiar creatures, and Chu Yunxi’s research suggested unique methods of dealing with them.

Chen Yi harbored some concerns about the sonar attack, but after witnessing Chu Yunxi’s experiments and her method of releasing a shielded sonar wave, he approved. “As long as it doesn’t pose a great threat to marine life or humans, wife, you have my full support.”

“Stop with the sweet talk,” Chu Yunxi smiled, then grew serious, swiftly activating the sonar system.

As the sonar system unleashed its waves, a vast area came under its influence.

The ‘Frozen Zombies’ arranged by the X Organization were all activated, but due to the intense sonar assault, their strength dramatically waned.

Members of the X Organization, who had been observing everything, were suddenly aghast.

“Has Chen Yi gone mad? Using sonar attacks?”

“I told you, when he gets ruthless, he won’t spare even himself. It’s over, we’re done for.”

Inside the warship, the woman who had previously maintained her composure now showed signs of panic.

Now, even she had no chance to flee. This time, all was lost—both the troops and their leader.

“Alright, calm down. What’s there to be afraid of?” the CEO interrupted, immediately darkening his expression.

“We’re unaffected here. What’s the worry?”

“Chen Yi is clever, but he’ll never guess we already have countermeasures in place.”

“But he’ll definitely come after us,” the woman trembled again. “Play your games if you like, but I’m done.”
