Aromatic Flesh-Novel

“You know, I just had a really long dream. Do you want to hear about it?”

The man’s gaze was sincere, containing many things she couldn’t quite understand. But there was one thing she could be certain of – he cared a lot about her.

“I’m all ears.”

Zhou JiaTong replied, her lips curling into a joyful smile. Gratitude surged through Xi Wei’s heart as he regained what he had lost. She was the eternal sanctuary in his heart. The tomboyish child queen from his memories, his fiancée, was right here and now, in his embrace.

In his previous life, the most beautiful image of her had always been deeply engraved in his mind. When the… things… with the other men happened, because of his insecurities, he chose to give up on himself, and her. Yet, this caused the little memories from their childhood together to become even more fresh and pure in his recollection, making them impossible to forget, and causing him pain.

He couldn’t figure out whether he truly loved those men or if he had simply become accustomed to giving up and resisting.

All he had done was escaping from reality, and that avoidance eventually caused him endless pain. Despite his illustrious reputation in subsequent lives and his peaceful passing, he couldn’t forget the memory of that little girl with two braided ponytails, who confidently jumped onto the desk and declared that she would protect him.

What a cunning and unforgettable lady. The expression on Xi Wei’s face before his death in his previous life was filled with the joy and pain of his past memories, and it brought tears streaming down his face.

Fortunately, there were some things that hadn’t happened in this life, and he could finally let it go. His mood was light and relieved like never before.

This life has already had a good turning point, hasn’t it?

That’s why he wanted to treat Gu Mingyue well. Regardless of the reasons that changed history, she played a crucial role, and he was immensely grateful to her.

Besides the two of them, nobody knew what exactly Xi Wei had said to Zhou JiaTong. However, from then on, Zhou JiaTong always had a subtle expression of gratitude when facing Gu MingYue, leaving her feeling utterly puzzled.

With Xi Wei obtaining Gu Mingyue’s blood, the research progress advanced by leaps and bounds.

Half a month later, the zombie vaccine was successfully developed, followed shortly by Xi Wei creation of a cure for the zombie virus.

In this world, the zombie vaccine has undergone significant improvements compared to Xi Wei’s previous life. Those who receive the vaccine not only become immune to infection but also remain undetectable to ordinary zombies, preventing them from being targeted and attacked.

Compared to his previous life, the most significant breakthrough was in the development of the cure. In the past, the cure could only treat individuals in the early stages of infection. However, the latest version of the cure was able to rescue those who were severely infected, even if they had transformed into zombies within a two-hour timeframe. This represented a remarkable advancement in medical science and provided hope for those in dire situations.

As the research progressed, one breakthrough followed another. In collaboration with other scientists, Xi Wei successfully developed a virus that impeded the evolution of zombies. Subsequently, the military systematically eliminated the zombies by targeting those who had been vaccinated with the zombie vaccine. This coordinated effort marked a significant turning point in the fight against the zombie outbreak, allowing humanity to finally regain control and restore a sense of safety and order.

After a busy period for everyone in the base, the wedding of Xi Wei and Zhou JiaTong finally took place as scheduled, much to the anticipation of the crowd.

As Zhou Jiatong was a Christian, the wedding ceremony was held inside a makeshift white canopy tent that served as a makeshift church in front of the research facility within the base.

Gu Mingyue and other staff members gathered many vibrant flowers from the base’s experimental fields to decorate the chapel. The backs of all the chairs were adorned with delicate white chiffon bows, and at the end of the canopy, a cross made of intertwined flower vines stood tall, a contribution from the wood-based ability user, Liu Ruicheng.

As the pure and uplifting wedding march began playing, everyone stood up, their eyes fixed on the beautiful bride in her elegant wedding gown, being led by the leader of the base towards the groom waiting at the front of the canopy, before the cross and the priest.

Gu Mingyue stood at the back row, wearing a contented smile.

The couple declared their vows and exchanged rings, with the pastor as their witness, followed by an embrace and a gentle kiss amidst the cheers of the crowd.

Finally, it was over.

╔════════ ★ ════════╗

Would you like to leave a clone behind, or exit this mission world directly?

╚════════ ★ ════════╝

The long-lost voice of the system cut through the noisy cheers, sounding clear and abrupt.

The two in front shared a blissful kiss, while Gu MingYue glanced around at the men whose attention was completely captivated by the newlyweds. With a soft sigh, she made the decision to leave behind a clone of her body.

╔════════ ★ ════════╗

Selection complete.

╚════════ ★ ════════╝

The voice of the system paused for a moment and then pronounced the familiar words to Gu MingYue.

╔════════ ★ ════════╗

╚════════ ★ ════════╝

As the system voice faded away, Gu MingYue’s consciousness gradually blurred. Her body rapidly disintegrated, dispersing like a cluster of fireflies, leaving behind faint green luminescent dust that dispersed into the air from her location.

The astonishing scene caught the terrified gaze of An Yize, who happened to turn his head towards her direction.

The man’s eyes widened, but no sound escaped his lips. The chair behind him crashed to the ground as he desperately reached out his hands, trying to gather the dispersed and fading light in the air. However, he could never hold onto it, and emptiness filled his grasp.

The sound of the chair collapsing went largely unnoticed by the crowd as the newlyweds stood before the cross, preparing to step outside the tent and join everyone for the bouquet toss.

“Ah, MingYue, when shall we have our own wedding…” Su ShaoYuan’s face beamed with excitement as he turned to look at Gu MingYue, only to find a shocked expression on An YiZe’s face, and nothing else.

No, there was still dust floating in the air, flickering with the last trace of faint light.

“Ming… Yue…?!?!”
