Chapter 81 - 81 - Changing Dates

"Busy?" Liwei gritted his teeth loudly. He was presently standing out the door of Qian's house. After his falling out with Fan, he was scared to approach him but he kept in touch with that sully buffoon.

'How dare he say he is busy... I am being courteous enough to come meet him. Ugh I was even panning on sharing my resources with him. We'll see what he can do.' He turned away and got into his zombie proofed car.

After coming back in time, he had been in a hurry to prepare everything that things had gotten out of hand.

Fan was ghosting him and Qian was too 'busy'

'Those assholes they won't know what's coming for them. We'll see how they will be begging for food when the zombie apocalypse hits' he tightly clenched the corner of his coat.

His initial plan was to stick close to Fan Xui and Qian until the cure has been created.

'The cure.... that is the only reason I am getting close to them. Those idiots don't even know how much that cure is worth!! They wanted to give it away for free!'

In his last life, after ten years of struggling, Qian was able to develop a cure for the deadly zombie virus. It not only reverts the zombified person to a human but it also can help prevent them from getting infected upon further contact with the virus.

It was a big deal but.... but Fan Xui and Qian were ready to spread the formula of it around for FREE!!!

He had made secret plans with one of the settlement close to them to sell the secret formula.

But the other settlement had other plans. They wanted the cure to become an exclusive property of theirs.

The unpredictable happened. They sent in assassins to kill them.

Their first target was Fan Xui and Qian. In the middle of a busy afternoon, their office was bombed.

Hearing the news the next morning, he started to panic. He got ready to skip through the settlement and settle down in another, but the assassins got wind of his activity.

Since he was close in close contact with the secret formula, he too became their prime target.

The only other person with the cure was him, so they secretly killed him as well.

Leaving his carcass to be devoured by the zombies..

It was the most pitiful ending.

Liwei clenched his hands so tight that his small nails left behind crescent marks. 'This time I won't be the one dying. I will make sure I stick close to Qian, take the cure and run away before anyone gets news of it. I can live safely after...'

He glanced at his empty palm with a long sigh. The last life, he had a water drop shaped sign which acted as a space.

'My space ability was not that developed. This time to store all my goods from the warehouse, I need to make sure to expand it as quickly as possible,'

There was only one way to do that. Devouring the zombie crystals from a space ability zombie.

But space powered zombies were very rare.

There was only other way to power up.

'It's by killing and devouring the crystal in the head so other space ability users....' he resolutely glanced at the road. 'Last life I was weak because I strayed from killing but this life... I am willing to sacrifice anyone's life just to love. Watch out Fan and Qian. I will not let you live peacefully,' 

Liwei giggled softly.

On the other side, Qian moved Fan to his private hospital, where he conducted all his research. He also got in contact with one of his friend who was a neurosurgeon to consult about Fan Xui.

"Great... you will be getting here in a few days, huh. That's nice. Please do keep it confidential and sign that NDA I sent you," Qian Wen said, cutting the call. Keeping this detail a secret was very tough.

Fan Xui went into a coma right after that and had not woken up.

Even the doctors were not sure when he will wake up.

He left his work to his assistant researcher and walked back to Fan's room. He placed his trembling hands on the window and peered in.

Fan Xui was hooked up with many devices.

"you better wake up soon.. or I will tell your darling Yue.."

"Mister Qian. We need you," his assistant ran to the hallway.

Qian sighed. "What is it now? The samples are all safely monitored and they have yet to show signs..."

"The council is here... there are here to discuss about... Classified things."

"shit," Qian grumbled and hurried to the meeting room. Everyone important was already seated there anxiously waiting for him.

"greetings,"

"Sit down, mister Qian. We got your report about your stunning progress. So.. we as a council have come to a decision that we are going to move up the bombing day,"

"but you already moved it up five days. We don't have to hurry, sir. If we strike it when it's outside out atmosphere, we might not get any samples," Qian Wen frowned deeply.

One man wearing the nas*a clothes leaned forward. "Don't have worry about that, mister Qian. The asteroid is moving at a speed much faster than we had initially anticipated. We can definitely move it forward three days more."

"So...." Qian glanced at the calendar. It was 1St April. "We are going for 22nd April?"

"Yes. Please be prepared to collect the samples that come our way. We have analysed the blast format. The largest of the pieces is going to strike S city and H city. The smaller ones will be raining in G city. But I'll have you know none of these pieces pose a threat to the human population."

Qian Wen gulped. "I'll have my team ready,"

"Great, meeting adjoined."
