Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 1729: Have you seen my wife?

The other children put away their "weapons" and scrambled up onto the car roof, eager to look around. They didn't sit inside the

car but instead sat directly on top of it, curious about their surroundings.

A little girl sat cross-legged on Selena's car roof, holding a bow and arrow and directing everyone where to go. "This way!" she

commanded as the army headed in her direction.

Osvaldo helped Selena onto the car roof as well. The little girl looked up at the sun for a moment before hanging upside down from

the edge of the roof and asking Selena, "Is that red thing in the sky really... the sun?"

Selena surveyed their surroundings before spotting a streetlight nearby. She figured someone must have turned it on because

otherwise these kids who never saw sunlight would go blind when they finally did see it during sunrise.

"It is," she replied to the little girl's question. "At night there will be moonlight too, and sometimes it rains or snows in winter."

The little girl lowered her head thoughtfully before speaking again with increasing fluency: "Are you really Professor Turner's

daughter?"

Selena smiled back at her: "Don't | look like him?"

But something seemed off about how closely this child was scrutinizing her; she asked cautiously: "Professor Turner did mention

having a very beautiful daughter..."

The little girl frowned more deeply now as she looked into Selena's eyes with suspicion: "... but those people chasing after you

earlier were 'beasts' from South City! Normally they wouldn't dare canywhere near North City where Professor Turner lives!

But today something happened that made them brave enough to venture out here..."

"Everyone suddenly started moving around too much so | went out with speople to check what was happening... and then we

unexpectedly ran into 'them'..."

Selena lowered her gaze, hiding the emotions in her eyes. "Professor Turner told you that they are... 'beasts'?"

"I saw it in a book myself," the little girl frowned with confusion. "Besides looking different, they're exactly like the beasts in the

book and will eat children..."

Selena's heart trembled but she spoke nonchalantly, "Are there any other people besides you guys in the city?"

"Of course," shrugged the little girl. "Professor Turner and other adults. If it weren't for them, we would have been eaten by 'beasts’

along tago."

Selena clenched her fingers and asked softly, "How many children are still here?"

"A lot," said the little girl casually. "When 'beasts' cout to hunt, Professor Turner hides us very well." She paused before

continuing hesitantly, "... but there are many adults who have gone to heaven..."

Two girls were talking when suddenly intense gunfire erupted from southwards.

Selena lifted her head and saw a black mushroom cloud rising up.

That was where Oscar had taken Eden.

All of the children looked towards that direction with tense nerves while picking up their weapons warily.

A faint smile appeared on Selena's lips as she spoke coldly with icy eyes: "Don't be afraid; there won't be any more 'beasts'...

lurking around."

The little girl looked at Selena then back towards southward before relaxing again.

"What's your name?" Selena asked softly.

The little girl glanced at Selena before answering proudly: "My nis Janice; Professor Turner namedhimself! It sounds nice,

doesn't it?"

Selena smiled, "It sounds nice."

Janice raised his eyebrows and laughed happily. At this moment, he showed a bit of the innocence and arrogance that should come

with his age. Then he seemed to think of something and his expression becgloomy.

"But one day a year ago, Professor Turner suddenly seemed to have been hit by something and hasn't appeared in public much

since then. | haven't seen him for a long time..."

"Uncle Chambers said that Professor Turner might be thinking about his daughter," Janice looked at Selena, furrowing his brows

threateningly. "When you see Professor Turner later, remember to be nice to him, got it?!"

A year ago...

Creephia's Selena experienced death.

Selena suppressed her emotions and smiled. "Don't worry, Professor Turner's daughter will definitely treat him very well..."

Janice stared at Selena for a while before looking away.

The armored vehicle led by Janice soon arrived at a location.

This should be the city center position. Even after being heavily damaged, the buildings here still had strong defensive capabilities.

Janice pointed to an entrance and said to them: "Professor Turner is inside!"

Selena looked at the building in front of her with pale lips and clenched fingers.

That was... the entrance to the laboratory!

After the underground city sank, Callum occupied this laboratory first thing. It was because of this that he was able to delay virus

outbreaks for eight years while protecting these young children so they could survive.

Selena took a deep breath and turned to look at Osvaldo beside her. He held her hand tightly as they walked forward.

As Selena approached the gate, she raised her hand and pushed open the metal door. A musty smell hit them in the face. Inside,

everything looked similar to the laboratory outside, except for being more run-down and gloomy.

As they opened the door, sunlight poured in and gradually illuminated everything around them. Selena stood quietly outside for a

moment before taking a step forward and walking inside.

She walked through the dark narrow corridor with unparalleled anticipation until she reached the end of it where she opened

another door. However...

At that moment when Selena pushed open the door, she found that there was no one inside.

The entire underground city went into chaos as soon as the sun appeared.

For those well-protected children, this was redemption; but for others, it was an absolute disaster.

They had long forgotten their humanity. For them, sunlight was not a redemption, but the prelude to death.

In the quiet corners of narrow streets, wild beasts occasionally ran past, dodging bullets flying behind them.

The hunter hidden in the shadows scanned every person on the street with dangerous eyes.

The air was filled with a scent of decay and danger that felt eerie and strange.

A slender figure dressed in a black coat walked slowly down the street with an elegant yet creepy gait.

He was unusually thin, his face as pale as paper but his lips were tinged with an unusual shade of red that looked like bloodstains.

His expression seemed despondent as if he had just woken up from a complicated dream. His eyes were hazy and blurred by misty

water droplets when sunlight shone upon him revealing two dark swirling orbs within his sockets - one half calm while the other

half crazed!

As he stared at someone walking towards him excitedly from across the street, he opened his mouth to speak in a clear and gentle

voice that sounded both eerie and hoarse. Coupled with his ghastly white skin tone it made him exude an aura that sent chills

down people's spines:

"Have you seen my wife? Her nis Nevaeh. She's carrying my daughter.”
