Chapter 4 - The Woman From the Past

"Is he awake?"

A soft and melodious voice sounded in an underground laboratory. A doctor in a long white coat stood and stared at the isolation room through the glass.

"Not yet. He used the immortality serum carelessly. The serum that was supposed to be stabbed in the heart to trigger maximum evolutionary potential was instead he stabbed in the shoulder, which deviated slightly from the rules. Other than that, he seemed lucky to not be consumed by the ferocity of the immortality serum and became a zombie."

After confirming Lin Fan's condition, a beautiful woman, who had skin as white as snow, walked over the bed. She held Lin Fan's hand to check his pulse. But before her hand touched Lin Fan's skin, he suddenly writhed and caught the woman's hand.

Lin Fan quickly jumped off the bed and strangled the woman's neck from behind. Threatening to kill her at any moment.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Show me the way out now!" shouted Lin Fan in a hurried tone.

Lin Fan really didn't want to be a guinea pig in a lab. He still remembers what his parents showed him as a child. He also remembers the test subject's pained expression. That's why he was traumatized by needles because he was afraid of turning into them.

However, the woman remained silent and didn't say anything which immediately confused Lin Fan.

'Wouldn't this girl be afraid, if I really killed her?' he thought.

"Hey, come on! You don't want a beautiful woman like you to die here, do you?" Lin Fan teased the woman.

But that woman just snorted and said with a cold expression. She said, "Lin Fan, have you forgotten about me?" There was absolutely no fear in her eyes.

"Oh? How do you know my name? No! You must have peeked at my ID card. Tell me! Who are you?! And, why am I here?!"

Lin Fan was slightly stunned when his name was called. But he immediately rejected the idea that his relatives were still alive and helping him. After all, who would believe they would be able to live another 100 years?

"Instead of you continuing to doubt me, why don't you see my face first?" The woman said with a cold face.

For a moment, Lin Fan strongly doubted life. 'Do I really know this woman?' That's what he thought.

However, Lin Fan also didn't want to kill carelessly. So, he decided to see her face clearly. Does he really know her?

Without thinking, he had already turned the woman over and was watching her closely.

At first, he was a little fascinated by the beauty of this woman, but this is a moment of life and death, so he dared not be negligent.

Lin Fab raised his finger to the woman's chin and pointed it left and right to see if he really recognized this woman in front of him? But he had absolutely no impression of whom this woman was.

"You .…"

The woman was tired of standing. Just as Lin Fan was about to say the next sentence, the woman cut him off and said casually while taking a seat nearby, "The girl, who 100 years ago said her feeling for you, but you ignored her in Beijing City Business University. Do you remember her now?"

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, Lin Fan immediately came to his senses. He immediately approached the woman and once again looked closely at her face.

"Yeah, you're right. You look a lot like that girl. She's so cute. I really want to take care of her. But, I don't have the money to take care of her. She's the daughter of a noble, while I'm the child of a poor person. Our caste difference is too big. Well, forget it! How did you find out about this story? After all, 100 years have passed, she should be old or maybe dead."

Lin Fan still didn't dare to believe this woman in front of him. He hesitated. If this woman really was a girl from the past, she shouldn't have grown so much. Well, in certain parts it does grow a lot. Lin Fan glanced at her protruding chest.

But Lin Fan didn't want to depend on a suspicious woman for his life.

"Do you know the serum of immortality?"

Lin Fan was stunned when he heard the woman ask. He replied, "No. But, how do you know?"

Lin Fan was suddenly confused, how did this woman know the secret?

"I also know that your parents are members of the early-stage immortality serum research."

"Wh-what?!" As soon as the names of his parents were concerned, he felt that this was crucial.

Eventually, he gave up. Lin Fan sat on the edge of the bed and waited for her to tell him.

"100 years ago, before the apocalypse of the earth happened ... your parents were research members of the immortality serum sponsored by our Shen family."

The woman was silent for a moment as she stared at Lin Fan closely. She sighed, then said, "To bind your parents to continue working for our family, both of the family decided to get me married to you. Thus, the relationship between the Boss of the research department and investors can be tightened. Starting from choosing the same university as you and confessing my feelings for you. Everything's already in our family's scenario."

Lin Fan didn't respond, instead just stared at the woman in front of him. The woman resumed her sentence and said, "Your parents found out about this and decided to negotiate a price so that our family wouldn't interfere with your normal life. Thus, 10 first generation immortality serums were obtained. 9 of them failed to adapt and became zombies and the remaining one managed to adapt to the gene mutation and that was me."

Lin Fan was shocked and exclaimed, "Wh-what?! Are you kidding me?!"
