Chapter 49: Biological Genius - Lu Yisi's Analysis!  

June 1, 2035 - Sunny 

A new month had arrived. 

Early morning, 

A soft golden light filtered through the thin white curtains, shining directly on Huang Ming's face as he lay asleep with Liu Shuang'er in his arms. 

Ding ling ling~ 

The rhythmic alarm clock pulled Huang Ming from his dreams. He shuddered slightly and slowly opened his sleepy eyes, 

only to see Liu Shuang'er blinking playfully at him. 

Huang Ming smiled faintly. Waking up to a beauty by his pillow was something he never dared imagine before the apocalypse. 

Thinking this, 

he suddenly wanted to stay in bed longer, holding Liu Shuang'er quietly in his arms, feeling her heartbeat and the rise and fall of her chest with each breath. 

Liu Shuang'er nestled against Huang Ming, her beautiful eyes gazing at him curiously: 

"Hmm? Not getting up yet?" 

"Let me hold you a while longer. I just want to hold you like this quietly." 

"Eww...when did you become so clingy?" 

Liu Shuang'er pretended to struggle a bit - her old trick. The more she "struggled," the tighter she pressed against him. What a drama queen! 

But Huang Ming loved this about her. Liu Shuang'er was the classic case of "mouth says no but heart wants it." 

"Before the apocalypse, I never imagined waking up every day with a goddess by my pillow. Now it really feels like a dream!" 

"Humph! Then you'll have to keep dreaming every day!" 

No woman disliked being called a goddess, and Liu Shuang'er was no exception. She smiled sweetly now. 

"Shuang'er, I'll protect you well. I'll make sure you survive safely in this apocalypse." 

Huang Ming stroked her long hair with one hand, gazing at her tenderly. 

"Mmm! If anything ever happens to you, I won't keep living either!" 

Liu Shuang'er didn't avoid his gaze, meeting his eyes directly. But Huang Ming noticed faint glimmers of tears in her eyes. 

"Silly girl..." 

As the words fell, 

Huang Ming gently kissed her, only breaking apart when Gu Anqing and Lu Yisi's voices came from outside. 

Liu Shuang'er glowed with happiness, her face flushed. 

"Let's get up! They're awake too." 

Ten minutes later, 

Huang Ming finished washing up, dressed, and came to the living room. Drawing the curtains, the weather was lovely today - sunny and bright, sunlight streaming through the windows onto the sofa. 

Gu Anqing and Lu Yisi had been up for a while, chatting on the sofa. But the looks they gave Huang Ming carried some resentment. This really wasn't his fault - blame Liu Shuang'er! 

Huang Ming could only pretend not to notice, rubbing his nose awkwardly as he walked to the dining table and took out four breakfasts from his dimensional space. 

Considering Lu Yisi, he decided on lobster congee with century eggs to nourish her, plus four fried dough sticks and four bottles of vintage 1982 Amoxicillin yogurt! 

Just as Huang Ming set out breakfast, Liu Shuang'er emerged from the bedroom and urged the three seniors: 

"Come eat, you guys!" 

Liu Shuang'er naturally assumed the mistress' role, plopping down right next to Huang Ming while Gu Anqing and Lu Yisi sat across from them. 

The three began eating breakfast, only Lu Yisi sat dumbfounded, unsure how to even start eating! 

Lu Yisi stared at the half lobster in her congee - the firm flesh, the enticing aroma - then at her favorite yogurt brand, Amoxicillin, which she used to buy often. 

Seeing her constantly swallowing saliva, Huang Ming asked with a smile: 

"Senior Yisi, why aren't you eating? Doesn't it suit your taste?" 

"No, how could it not? I'd never dare eat like this normally. It just feels too unbelievable, like a dream!" 

Gu Anqing and Liu Shuang'er burst out laughing - not to mock Lu Yisi, but because they'd thought the same initially. 

Huang Ming could only repeat his usual line: 

"Then Senior Yisi, you'll have to live in this dream every day!" 

Lu Yisi smiled awkwardly at him, then picked up her spoon to taste the delicious breakfast. 

"Oh right, Huang Ming! Didn't you say last night there was something to discuss?" 

Liu Shuang'er asked between bites of lobster meat. 

Huang Ming set down his spoon, took a big gulp of the 1982 Amoxicillin, then said: 

"Right! About Professor Li Qingya - that mutated intelligent zombie." 

The three listened attentively, waiting for him to continue. 

"Last night I clearly shot a full magazine at her - ten bullets hitting her face. I can't say I headshot her, but at least her face was hit. Yet Senior Anqing said she could still move, think clearly, and even retreat to Building 1!" 

Gu Anqing, having watched Li Qingya closely last night, spoke first: 

"Right, clearly not fatal wounds. She could calmly return to Building 1. But she was definitely injured, otherwise she wouldn't have retreated." 

"Huang Ming! Are you worried she might be unkillable, or how exactly to kill her, am I right?" 

Lu Yisi hit the nail on the head, voicing Huang Ming's exact concern! 

Her lips curled up unconsciously as she confidently explained: 

"Let me explain something about ordinary zombies. When you headshot or decapitate them, the zombie virus isn't actually destroyed - the host just loses mobility. The host being the infected person!" 

She paused, then added: 

"Simply put, when a human brain is destroyed or the head removed, no matter how powerful the zombie virus, it can't make the host move anymore." 

The three looked enlightened. Lu Yisi continued analyzing: 

"You said you hit Li Qingya's face ten times. This only means one thing - you didn't hit her brain, and she has some regenerative ability!" 

Regenerative ability? All three were shocked, listening intently without interrupting. 

"For other zombies, ten shots to the face would be no different from a headshot. Meaning Professor Li Qingya's brain is different from ordinary zombies', or there's something special about her brain." 

Hearing this, the three exchanged glances - this was why she was the biology genius. Without her explanation, they'd have been completely lost. 

"Huang Ming! I know it's risky, but if you could decapitate her and bring back the head for research, it would be a major discovery!" 

Lu Yisi grew more excited as she analyzed, clenching her fists. But realizing how dangerous this would be, she looked awkwardly at Huang Ming. 

Huang Ming didn't respond immediately, still processing Lu Yisi's analysis. This was making his brain overheat...
