Untouched by the Outbreak

Chapter 125 - 125: A Disturbing Thought

As Ryo rode through the scattered zombies on the road, his mind kept returning to the unsettling discovery he had made earlier. The female zombies around Ken... they were healing, but it wasn't because of Ryo's presence. No, it was something else. He couldn't shake the disgusting possibility—did that creep Ken do something to them? Was it possible that his...

interactions with the zombies had something to do with their rapid recovery?

Ryo grimaced at the thought. He wondered if Ken had somehow "revitalized" them with whatever he was doing. The idea that the healing might be connected to something as vile as... Ken's activities turned Ryo's stomach. What had that freak done to them?

The more Ryo considered it, the more intrigued he became. The female zombies under Ken's influence weren't like the others. Their skin wasn't the grey, deteriorated shade typical of the zombies around his base that were healing—it was pale white, like they had been drained of blood, yet their features were smooth, with no signs of decay. Almost human, in a disturbing way.

He pondered if there was something to be learned from Ken's twisted experiment. Maybe understanding how Ken was affecting those zombies could be the key to making Ryo's own army stronger, more durable. Was it something Ken was feeding them? Or maybe some sort of biological interaction was happening.

As he sped down the empty road, he thought about how useful it could be to experiment with different methods on his own horde. What if feeding the zombies something, or even giving them human food, could make them heal faster? Or perhaps Ken's bizarre relationship with them had unlocked some secret Ryo hadn't considered before.

Ryo grinned to himself, a dark plan forming in his mind. He'd have to observe Ken's "experiment" closer, perhaps even use Ken's perverse re

Ryo smirked, his darker instincts kicking in. If he could find a way to control the zombies through such an experiment, it could give him even more power. He wouldn't have to rely solely on his immunity—he could have female zombies at his command, defending him, just like they did for Ken. And maybe... just maybe... they could be useful in other ways.

But the thought still lingered: was it worth the risk?
