Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Lirean Province- Capitol City)

(Outer Region- Valentina's National Mall)

"Stay away! No! No! No!" a woman screamed in terror as a zombie leapt on top of her body and pinned her down.

Eve arrived just in time to see the zombie open its horrific jaws and bite off a meaty chunk of the woman's neck.

A frown flashed across Eve's face as she walked over to the feasting zombie and casually ripped off its head.

Her fingernails were completely black and now resembled claws as she dug around the inside of the creature's skull to find the purplish-black crystal.

Eve finally located the tiny crystal and placed it in the backpack that was strapped around her shoulders.

The bag jingled ever so slightly as another crystal was added to the enormous pile of rocks that were inside.

Eve let out a heavy sigh as she wandered through the abandoned mall and gazed at the cracked windows and the bloodstains on the floor.

Weeks had passed since the apocalypse had begun and all major gathering sites were now completely destroyed.

The exception of course were the bases that were heavily guarded by the survivors of humanity.

Some possessed weapons but the majority were using the strange gifts bestowed upon them when the end times arrived.

Eve stayed away from the bases as she did not want to get involved with humans. There was only one human that she wanted to meet…

Qin Lan… her favourite human… the one… the one she loved…

Eve did not know when her feelings of closeness turned into something more but the way she felt towards Qin Lan just felt… right and natural.

It was as though her feelings of love were part of her nature.

The zombie empress zipped up her backpack and roamed around the mall looking for a clothing store.

She was currently wearing her human disguise but the clothes on her body had suffered a bit of damage to put it mildly.

Eve was wearing a tattered and worn out old white shirt with several holes across the fabric and a pair of brown track pants that were stained with dirt.

As for her smell… well some things were better off not being described…

Grrr…. grrr… grr….

A hoarse guttural sound echoed through the empty mall as footsteps could be heard coming from the distance.

Eve adjusted her stance and her cold eyes stared in the direction of the sound without even blinking or moving a muscle.

Roar!

A thunderous growl made the ground beneath her feet crack and soon a terrifying beast emerged from the shadows.

It appeared to be a massive pile of flesh composed of dozens of dogs unnaturally stitched together with red fleshy threads.

The biomass rolled on the ground and the multiple heads attached to the mass would occasionally bark and growl as if their owners were still alive.

Eve seemed unflustered by this creepy sight that was straight out of a nightmare and charged forward confidently.

She casually punched the center of the biomass, and her fist easily penetrated the soft squishy flesh and travelled forward.

Her hand exited the other side of the monster and a few of the dog heads yelped in pain. Eve could feel her violent instincts to kill slowly rise up inside her body.

Her eyes shifted from a human-like appearance to completely pitch black.

She may outwardly resemble a human, but her eyes hinted at the monster that lay beneath her beautiful outer shell.

Eve blacked out and when she returned to her senses, the massive monstrosity lay dead at her feet.

Its body had been cruelly ripped apart and pieces of its pinkish flesh had been thrown haphazardly around the room.

Eve resisted the urge to vomit as she quickly ran away from the scene without even bothering to search for the crystal.

What was happening to her?

Eve had been suffering from blackouts recently whenever she encountered a particularly dangerous enemy.

This had been happening ever since she saw the humanoid creature that called itself Subject 001 and it was only getting worse.

However, it was not like these blackouts were without benefit as she could feel that her power grew every time that she fell unconscious.

It was as though these blackouts were a trigger for some kind of metamorphosis.

Despite having not eaten any human flesh, Eve was confident that she was now at least three times stronger than when she had last met Subject 001.

The reason remained a mystery as Eve did not know if it was because of the crystal alone or was it because of something else…

Those scientists had performed hundreds if not thousands of experiments on her body so isolating the treatment that was causing this effect would prove to be impossible.

Eve furrowed her brows as she leaned against a nearby wall and rubbed her temples.

The zombie empress felt tired mentally as a familiar face once again flashed across her mind.

She regretted what she had done. Not the fact that she had killed Qin Wei but the fact that she did not wait to do it out of sight of her favourite human.

Her impatience had cost her… what if Qin Lan never wanted to see her again?

It was this thought that prevented Eve from immediately heading towards Qin Lan and trying to reunite with her.

She could not bear the possibility of Qin Lan looking at her with hatred in her eyes and this fear caused her to remain in the capital city.

Plus, there was the matter of Subject 001 who apparently wanted to kill her for some unknown reason which was a headache all on its own.

A hoarse growl of frustration exited Eve's mouth as she slammed her fist against the wall in anger.

The concrete wall behind her immediately collapsed under the force of her blow and dust rained down from the ceiling.

Eve looked down at her clothes and saw that they were now even dirtier than before with chunks of the dog-like monsters and grey dust splattered across the front of her attire.

God… she was a fucking mess…

Eve stumbled forward until she eventually arrived in front of a wall with a map showing the layout of the mall.

The nearest clothing store was just around the corner and fortunately there was also a bathroom next to the store which hopefully meant that she would be able to freshen up.

"Die you rotten pieces of shit!" a hoarse masculine voice yelled from the distance.

Eve used her enhanced vision and saw a young man leading a team of survivors through the rubble while fighting off a horde of zombies.

The young man waved his hands in the air and pieces of metal hovered around his fingertips. He made a shooting motion using his fingers and the metal shards shot forward.

These metal shards were almost like bullets as they penetrated the heads of the incoming zombies and turned their brains into mush.

Eve sighed as she realised that the survivors would spot her for sure if she walked towards the clothing store.

Currently she looked like a normal human so there wouldn't be any suspicion that she was infected but… she really didn't want to have to deal with humans today.

Eve took a few steps back and decided to wait until they left before going to the store to freshen up.

Grrr… grrr…grr…

A familiar growl echoed through the mall and Eve turned around to see dozens of dog-like abominations roll towards her.

Wait… why didn't she smell them?

Something was wrong…

Eve had barely any time to react before a portal opened mere inches away from her face and on the other side, she saw a face that she was not expecting to see.

It belonged to Qin Lan's brother.
