His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 577 - FEEDING THE ZOMBIES

Phoebe felt embarrassed when she heard the words. She remembered how she had pursued Jiang Haoran with passion and sincerity. Now, hearing the mocking from Jiang Yinuo, she could not bear the cold truth. 

She lost her mind and stared at Jiang Yinuo viciously.

"What right do you have to his love? Why do you deserve his care?" She shouted. 

Everyone on Martial Island thought she fell for Yuan Haoran when he returned as a powerful figure. But no one knew that she had met him when he was younger, before his mysterious disappearance. It was a secret that no one knew. 

She admired his quick mind, especially when she saw him interacting with older people. He was eloquent and clear, and he stood out like a gem against normal children. At the time, her young heart was set on him.

But when he returned, a few years later with unknown power and resources, he was no longer within her rich. Moreover, he had an extra person beside him that he treated like a treasure. He could not bear to see people looking at Yinuo badly. 

And more importantly, the person beside him was someone with great achievements in the medical field, and those were before she was ten. Regardless of what she did, Phoebe was always compared to Yinuo and considered a disappointment.

Phoebe could never move past these disappointments. 

"I deserve his love because I am me." Yinuo brandished her sword. "You can quit stalling for time." 

With a powerful move, she swung her sword towards Phoebe. Phoebe backed away quickly while praying that her reinforcements would come soon. She could not deal with the crazy woman before her easily. 

When she heard the breakage of reinforced glass, she realised that the target of the sword was not herself. Jiang Yinuo had broken the cage used to keep one of the zombie-like creatures she had created. 

"I have to commend you, Ms Lambert. But your thinking is a little too poor to achieve your goals." Jiang Yinuo walked to another cage. "I am guessing that you have tested the zombie drug and found its effect, but you have not been able to make advances." 

With another powerful swing, she broke another cage. 

"Everyone on the island already knows about the zombie drug made by the Hime Iekami. The drug was supposed to help the body consume the accumulated energy from the rare material and prevent the internal damage from the tainted stuff." 

The two free zombies were confused and did not attack immediately. 

"But the issue that no one could solve is how to stop the zombie drug from consuming all energy from a body. As long as the drug was administered, it will eat away the life force of its consumer and leave only a shell. A shell that would twitch, starve and die a painful death." Jiang Yinuo split two more cages. 

"You thought you were so clever that you decided to provide an alternative energy source to keep the zombies alive. As long as the zombies consumed enough power, you could create weapons to serve you. But you cannot figure out a consistent source of energy, right?" 

Phoebe panicked. Things were exactly as Jiang Yinuo described. Despite her numerous experiments, she could not stabilize her experimental subjects. But the most important thing was that her zombies had a taste for anything and everything, including flesh. 

She had realised it when one of the Lambert family guards decided to play with her experimental subjects. The zombies were not contagious, but they were ravenous. They could eat anything that gave them energy. 

She picked her weapon of choice from the corner of her desk at the end of the lab. It was an electrical baton, similar to a cattle prod. However, the amount of charge in it was exponential. The weapon sparked with power. 

Jiang Yinuo smiled when she saw the movements made by Phoebe. However, she did not stop. Within a few moments, all the twelve glass cages were broken, and the creatures were gaining orientation. Their eyes turned to both Yinuo and Phoebe. 

"You have trapped us both here," Phoebe shouted. "Do you think you can escape?" 

She laughed as she looked at Jiang Yinuo with venomous eyes. 

"Do not put me in the same category as yourself, weakling." Jiang Yinuo snorted. "I am merely playing around. Do not worry. I suspect your reinforcements are coming soon. But before they do…" 

Phoebe saw Jiang Yinuo move like a flash and stand before her. She turned her sword in a few flashes of beauty and elegance. Phoebe was too stunned to react to the pain as the sharp sword made countless shallow cuts on her skin. 

The strange dance was broken by a ringing phone. Jiang Yinuo stopped and took out her phone. She looked at the screen, and a small smile appeared on her face. Even in her pain, Phoebe was jealous to the point of losing her mind. 

"I am done playing. Just wait for me." Yinuo said directly as soon as she picked the call. 

Yuan Haoran said something to Jiang Yinuo that Phoebe could not hear. Jiang Yinuo laughed softly before hanging up the call. She looked at Phoebe with some contempt before turning away. Like a ghost, she navigated through the group of the experimental subjects drawn to the blood pouring off Phoebe. 

Just as Jiang Yinuo reached the lift, the doors opened. Phoebe's eyes lit up as she saw salvation. Her special guards were coming to rescue her. It would be best if they could kill Jiang Yinuo and feed her to the ravenous zombies. 

However, the guards did not have a chance to react to the immediate situation. 

Jiang Yinuo did not bother with killing them. Instead, she made a quick job of slicing them just as she had done with Phoebe Lambert. She did not want them to die quickly. Her only interest was for them to die in the hands of the monsters the Lambert family created. 

Just when the guard would have retaliated, Jiang Yinuo was already in the elevator. As the doors closed, she did not forget to wave her fingers at Phoebe as she used her electrical prod to fend off the zombies. The image put a smile on her face. 

As soon as the lift stopped, Jiang Yinuo destroyed the electrical panel to the secret lift. She wondered if the Lambert family would recall Phoebe and her guards once chaos befell Martial Island. Perhaps, they would survive. 

She sheathed her sword and walked leisurely out of the research institute. 

No one asked questions, and no one stopped her.
