Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Xyrean Province- Inner Regions)

(The Mermaid's Lake- Forested Outskirts)

The bright moonlight created long dark shadows on the forest floor and only the buzzing noises coming from the nearby insects could be heard.

There was a brief moment of silence as Eve's solemn promise lingered in the air. The zombie empress felt very nervous since Qin Lan did not say a single word.

It was her fault that her favourite human was now in danger and Eve would not blame Qin Lan if she no longer felt any sort of goodwill towards her.

Qin Lan furrowed her brows as she stared into Eve's eyes. She seemed to be searching for something but did not know what she wanted to find.

This was a lot of information to take in all at once.

First, she absorbed all of the memories from the original Qin Lan and then she had to deal with this.

So, her brother had somehow come back to life and there was a crazy test subject who wanted to kill Eve.

A dangerous madman or creature that was just as powerful as Eve albeit slightly weaker. Still, he was a threat that could not be taken lightly.

Qin Lan was not going to risk the safety and the lives of the two teenage girls in her care because she had already failed the other members of the group.

Chen Xiao and Liu Tao… their deaths were a result of her negligence.

Wait… that test subject… maybe he was connected to the villainess of the plane! Qin Lan's eyes widened as her mind began to race.

The original Qin Lan had died before finding out what had destroyed her world but at the time of her death humanity was slowly pushing back the tide against the zombies.

Fourth level and fifth level ability users could easily protect bases and fight off undead hordes almost singlehanded.

The only problem were the mutated zombies, but they were strong individually and did not team up with the rest of their kind.

Humans were able to form hunting teams in order to track them down and eliminate them before they posed a threat.

The original Qin Lan herself had sent puppets out to destroy any mutated zombie that wandered too close to her hidden base.

Clearly if humanity was in a winning position, then something must have occurred after the original Qin Lan's death that changed the game.

It was up to Qin Lan to find out what this change was and who was responsible for it in order to save this plane and complete her mission.

But first there was a more serious matter to address.

"How is he able to track your location?" Qin Lan questioned seriously.

"I'm not sure… but somehow, he keeps finding me…" Eve hesitantly spoke as she thought back to all of her encounters with Subject 001.

"Until we can find out how to counter his tracker then we will always be placed at a disadvantage," Qin Lan explained as she nervously rubbed her fingers together.

"We don't know when, where and how he will strike and that's a terrifying possibility."

Eve nodded as the fully gravity of the situation finally hit her.

She wanted to protect her favourite human but clearly the task would be very difficult to accomplish.

Qin Lan hummed softly as a few ideas briefly surfaced in her mind before she quickly discarded them and moved on to the next one.

The best defense was a good offense.

There was one plan that might throw Subject 001 off, but it involved a tremendous amount of risk.

"Eve… when Subject 001 appears through the portal what does the background look like? Do you know where he is located?" Qin Lan asked quietly as her plan depended on Eve's answer.

The zombie empress frowned as she quickly recalled her previous encounter with Qin Wei and the answer began clear.

She had been so overwhelmed at the time when she found out that Qin Lan's brother was now alive that she did not pay attention to the little details.

No… wait… what was he wearing at the time?

"The military base! I recognise that uniform and those beds!" Eve excitedly spoke as she wrapped her arms around Qin Lan's body.

The secret military base where the government experiments were conducted had unique uniforms compared to the standard army kit.

Qin Lan froze in place as she felt Eve's warm body rub against her own.

A fierce blush began to spread across her cheeks, but she tilted her head down to prevent Eve from seeing her embarrassed state.

Qin Lan awkwardly coughed a few times to let her discomfort be known so Eve reluctantly stepped back to give her some space.

The zombie didn't let her favourite human know that her enhanced vision allowed her to easily observe the blush on her face.

Qin Lan had to take in a few deep breaths in order to calm herself down and then finally she felt her racing heartbeat begin to slow.

"So, he's hiding out in the same base where he was created?" Qin Lan thoughtfully mused as she rubbed her chin.

"Can you sense the portals when they open up nearby?"

"Yes… I don't know how but once it's within two hundred feet of me… I somehow know exactly where they are..." Eve explained calmly.

"And how often has he used those portals to spy on you or attack you?" Qin Lan asked another important question.

"Each encounter was at least a few weeks apart…" Eve didn't know why her favourite human was asking all of these questions but was more than happy to help.

Qin Lan knew that her idea was completely insane but at this point it was the only shot that they had.

There was a spark of madness in her eyes, and it may sound crazy, but Qin Lan could swear that something deep inside her body was craving a fight.

"Why do we need to wait for him to come to us?" Qin Lan darkly whispered as she spoke in a hushed tone.

"We should come to him…"
