Chapter 89 The Nursery of the Dead

For a moment, everyone stood frozen in shock.

Behind the glass wall lay a grotesque scene—bodies piled in a chaotic, tangled mess.

None of the corpses were intact.

Some were reduced to bare leg bones, others had hollowed–out stomachs, and some were missing half their heads.

Dark, dried blood streaked every surface of the quarantine room. The place looked like the aftermath of a massacre straight out of a horror film, but what stunned them most was the small child nestled inside.

“Look!” Graham shouted, pointing in disbelief at a corner of the room. A little girl was clinging to the lifeless body of a woman.

She looked about five or six years old, nuzzling the corpse as if it were her mother–whimpering, seeking comfort.

Then, she turned her head toward them.

Everyone stopped breathing.

It wasn’t the face of a sweet child.

It was the face of a monster.

Her skin was bruised and blackened, her eyes, once meant to be full of innocence, were now a soulless, horrifying gray. Her once–white dress was drenched in blood, and she clutched a doll tightly in her hands. Feeling the presence of the living beyond the glass, the zombie child tilted her head eerily at them.

She opened her mouth. Thick black blood spilled out, along with a rotting piece of heart tissue slipping from her lips.

She had been feeding on the dead.

Before Graham and the others could even recover from the horror of seeing a child zombie, it got worse.

One. Two. Three… Twelve. Thirteen.

From beneath.the scattered bodies, more small figures began to emerge.

More zombie children.

All of them stared directly at the group with chilling, unwavering eyes.

Theresa’s expression hardened immediately. She knew, contrary to what most people believed, child zombies were far more dangerous than adult ones.

The mutation preserved their flexibility and agility.

Zombie children were faster, stronger, and far more aggressive. Their mutation levels were off the charts

The small zombies inside the quarantine room, sensing fresh prey, threw themselves at the reinforced glass.

Each impact left a web–like crack behind, despite the glass being stronger than in any other room.

Then came a high–pitched scream from inside.

“Aaahhh!”

It was Monica.

The small zombies, previously focused on Theresa and her group, turned and charged toward the scream.

Gunfire followed.

Graham and the others, seeing this, immediately rushed in without hesitation.

Theresa’s mind snapped into overdrive.

Something clicked.

In her past life, she had found Kyle around this time–near the outskirts of Ansford.

Back then, he was a mess–collapsed on the road, barely alive. He looked like a stray dog with no will to live. If she hadn’t helped him, he wouldn’t have survived the night.

After bringing him back, Kyle refused to speak. It wasn’t until they were nearly killed during a mission that he finally opened up and saved her life.

He told her he had been a soldier from the military zone–but shared nothing more.

He’d mentioned teammates once, but never tried to find them, which meant…

Could this have been his last mission in his past life?

Were these people the ones who died during that mission?

Right then, Theresa saw the people who had rushed forward now fleeing back.”

They fought their way back, waving compact ability orbs and firing off the last of their ammo as they shielded Lucas and Monica, who had just broken through the chaos.

Through the crowd, Lucas locked eyes with Theresa.

His gaze was full of gratitude.

A silent thank–you.

Thanks to her warning, they had all made it out alive.

Lucas owed her his life.

This time, he was on a top–tier classified mission from K1 Camp–sent to the pharmaceutical research facility to recover data reports and equipment that had been under study before the zombie virus outbreak.

Data that might hold the key to extracting energy from zombie gleamstones.

Before the outbreak, the government had discovered this new type of dormant virus in several regions.

At first, they’d mistaken it for a new strain of the flu, but lab experiments with mice revealed the truth–it was a virus unlike anything in human history.
