Zombie Apocalypse: Creation-Chapter 745: Xiaoyun’s Cells

"Hey Xiaoyun, are you busy right now?"

As Tianci’s voice appeared over the car’s mic, Xiaoyun lowered the music before answering back.

"I’m just about to go to the logistics department. I’m pretty free right now... Is there something I can do for you?"

"Can you come to my lab? I need your... bodily fluid."

"Huh? What do you need that for? Is it for some experiment again?"

"Yeah. We ran out of your samples. And I have some news that I need to tell you. Just come to the lab."

"Okay."

---

When Xiaoyun finally entered the lab, Tianci was standing right at the entrance, waiting for him.

"Hey."

"Follow me."

As Xiaoyun followed Tianci down the hallway, he suddenly got a little curious by a sudden screech from one of the rooms.

"Waaaaaa!"

"What the hell is going on in there?"

"An infected soldier is going through an experimental treatment. He probably just got injected with one of the drugs."

Opening the door, Tianci signaled him to go in first before she took a peek outside, closing it and locking it.

"What are we doing? What’s the thing you need to tell me?"

"Xiaoyun, you can create anything, right?" Tianci asked as she ignored the question he had asked.

"Well, I can’t create things. But I can replicate it if that’s what you’re suggesting... Why are you suddenly asking me that?"

A bad feeling began to develop in his head, and it was soon confirmed as Tianci finally revealed her reasoning.

"Can you replicate your... bodily fluid?"

"Replicate it? I can’t do that directly... I mean, I can try, but I don’t think it has ever worked before."

As Xiaoyun opened his palm and tried to imagine a load of his own cum onto his hand, nothing appeared.

"I can’t make my cum out of thin air... If you need it, I can produce it out of my—"

Just as he started unzipping his pants, Tianci quickly realized he had completely misunderstood the question.

"No, no, no, I didn’t mean that kind of bodily fluid. I mean your blood. Can you create it out of thin air?"

"Oh, you should have just clarified that. Don’t just say bodily fluid... But to answer your question, it’s still a no from me."

Seeing his open palm once again being empty, he could see the disappointment appear on her face.

"Hey, why are you suddenly asking me all this? You still haven’t explained it. Do you need it or something?" Xiaoyun asked as she remained mostly silent.

"No. I’m just testing my theory, and it turned out to be the worst case scenario... You can leave now."

"Wait, wait, wait, what theory? I need you to explain it to me. I’m not leaving until you tell me what all this is for?"

After a short standstill, Tianci spoke up again as she looked much more cheerful this time for some mysterious reason.

"My theory was that your bodily fluid... It’s not as human as it may appear. I-I’m not saying you’re not human or anything."

"Then what is that supposed to mean exactly? And what do you mean by worst-case scenario?"

As Xiaoyun stared back at her in the eye, Tianci finally couldn’t handle it and cracked under the pressure.

"We discovered that the liquid inside the fused silica flask has the same property as your bodily fluid.

And by property, I mean it behaves as a super-absorbent and somehow vanishes on its own over time, regardless of its environment."

"Vanishes? Wait, you’re telling me that red liquid inside the silica flask vanished!" Xiaoyun questioned out loud.

"No, the whole thing didn’t vanish. It’s still in the la.. What I mean by vanishing is... Here, you see these two flasks, right?"

Looking over at the table, Xiaoyun could see Tianci holding a big flask on the left and a much smaller flask on the right.

"Yeah."

"Imagine we manage to pour some of the red liquid from the bigger flask to the smaller flask and then put them into a separate room."

As Tianci grabbed a divider and put it right between the two flasks, she took it out again before speaking up.

"And then boom, the next day, the smaller flask is empty. The big flask is the same as if it never lost it."

"You’re telling me the small flask somehow escaped and went to the big flask?" Xiaoyun questioned, and his mind started to get a little confused.

"Imagine this divider was a meter-thick steel door and ten layers of concrete walls. Do you think the small liquid can go through that in exactly 24 hours?"

"Um... Probably not?"

"The better answer would be that the liquid in the smaller flask simply disappeared. And the liquid in the bigger flask just regrew its missing pieces."

"An object that can just infinitely regrow itself? How is that super-absorbent, and how is it related to my bodily fluid?"

"Did you forget that no matter how many things we throw at the red liquid and its surrounding fog, it just vanishes?"

"Oh, right... But how does that have to do with my bodily fluid?"

As Xiaoyun asked the question that he still couldn’t understand, Tianci let out a small sigh before the grim look reappeared on her face.

"Your bodily fluid disappeared from our lab inventory. It always disappears after 24 hours, no matter how we try to contain it."

"Huh, really? But that doesn’t happen when I have sex with you guys. Leyan always complains about how the stain lasts for—"

"T-That’s different. The c-cum stain itself is just mostly water and protein. I’m talking about the actual cell inside your bodily fluid."

Tianci shyly replied as her face blushed a little, looking a little distracted as if some memory from the past few days triggered inside her head.

"What? Isn’t protein and water made in the cell?" Xiaoyun questioned, still looking more confused than ever.

"Have you forgotten about your chemistry class already?"

As Tianci stared at him dead in the eyes, Xiaoyun’s face blushed a little, looking away before his hand awkwardly scratched his hair.

"I-I might have forgotten about that. Ahem, you can continue."

"So what I’m implying here is, your bodily fluid, specifically your red blood cells and your sperm cells, disappear on their own at exactly 24 hours."

"Okay, I get that now... How about the super-absorbent? My bodily fluid can’t absorb anything at all."

As Xiaoyun asked his question with an innocent face, Tianci’s face mysteriously flushed a little before speaking up.

"What do you think happens every morning when you see our... naked bodies?"

"See? Um... A lot of cum stain and your guy’s bodily fluid. What does that have to do with being absorbent?"

"Where did you think it goes?"

"You said it earlier, no? It disappears on its own after 24 hours... Wait a moment, how can it disappear and be super absorbent at the same time?"

Xiaoyun could feel a missing link in the puzzle. Something that could clear up all of the confusion that he couldn’t think of.

"Ugh, Xiaoyun, when I say super-absorbent, it can also mean having it be absorbed by something else!"

"Ohhhh. That makes sense. So your guy’s skin and body absorbed it all... But how about that living room sofa that we messed up one time?"

"You dummy! Did you already forget I told you those cum stains are water and protein? Not your sperm cell!"

"Right, right, sorry."

As Xiaoyun apologizes, Tianci rolled her eyes before resuming her speech.

"As I was saying, the cells inside your bodily fluids behave the same, or very similar to the red liquid inside the silica case.

They both disappear after 24 hours away from their central body mass, with the only noticeable difference being that yours can be absorbed by something else."

"I think I get it now. So the cell inside my body shares similar properties with the red liquid."

"Yep. You got it... Now here’s the new thing I found and why I said it was the worst case scenario."

Tianci quickly headed over to a cabinet, taking out two separate vials, one containing a small bit of red fog while the other contained white liquid inside.

"This one is a very small bit of the red liquid, and the other is the... stuff you had put inside me this morning.

I was storing it inside a container for an experiment later today. And guess what happened."

"What?"

"Both of them were taken out. Two separate people in two separate rooms. They were all just staring at it and thankfully didn’t open it."

"Huh...? This happened before?"

Xiaoyun curiously asked, his mind getting confused once again as the story development made him all confused again for the third time.

"Nope. This was the first time I left it unsupervised. I always ask you to come to the lab and take it directly before experimenting.

But today, I heard from Yuqi and Leyan that you might be very busy today, so I just scraped it off m-my... vagina." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Tianci looked away as she said it out loud to Xiaoyun. Her face looked embarrassed, as if she didn’t want to reveal it to him.
