Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Xyrean Province- Inner Region)

A car was speeding along a poorly maintained road and occasionally shook at it ran over the numerous potholes littered across the ground.

Qin Lan gripped the wheel tightly as she pressed her foot on the accelerator. The car's engine let out a loud groan of complaint as the vehicle got even faster.

Two days had passed since they had left the lake and now, they were beginning their journey to the location of the secret military base.

They walked at first but then Eve had spotted an abandoned car in the distance that was in perfectly good shape except for the shattered windows.

It was impossible to know what had happened to the vehicle's previous occupants but the traces of blood that stained the leather seats did not lead one to assume that they met a pleasant fate.

"Sister Lan… can you slow down… I think I'm going to be… urghhh!" Liu Yifei groaned in pain as she reached for a brown bag that was next to her.

Gong Li wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's body to stabilise her as she threw up in the brown bag.

Liu Yifei's face did not look too good, and she refused to look Gong Li in the eyes.

Who would want to vomit in front of their girlfriend?!

The beautiful schoolgirl tossed the bag out of the broken window next to her and it fell somewhere in the grass outside.

"You're right… sorry I got carried away," Qin Lan admitted truthfully as she eased up on the accelerator and the car slowed down.

There was a part of her that wanted to get to the military base as soon as possible but it would not be worth it if everyone got sick during the journey.

Well… Eve seemed to be doing okay…

The zombie empress smiled sweetly at her favourite human and stretched out her hand to lightly touch the side of Qin Lan's cheek.

"I'm driving… not now…" Qin Lan quietly whispered as she gently removed Eve's palm, but her fingers lingered for just a moment on Eve's soft skin.

The sun was slowly beginning to set, and night was soon approaching.

Qin Lan planned on driving for a few more hours then taking the car off the road to set up camp for the night.

It was important that everyone maintained a healthy state because in order to face Subject 001 they all needed to be in top condition.

There were a few buildings coming up ahead and it looked like they belonged a small town of some kind.

The buildings were run down and dilapidated with cracked roof tiles, walls that were partially collapsed and doors that were barely hanging from their hinges.

Was this a ghost town?

Qin Lan remembered seeing pictures on the internet of small towns in rural provinces that were eventually abandoned after the young people in the village left for the major cities.

They would take their relatives with them and eventually the population of the small town would shrink to single digits.

Eve furrowed her brows as she stared at the buildings in the distance.

She got a bad feeling from this place but could not detect any dangerous scents.

The zombie empress stuck her head outside the car's window and took in a few deep sniffs. She could not smell any traces of humans or her lesser brethren.

"Everything okay?" Qin Lan asked with concern evident in her voice.

"Yeah… I just have a bad feeling… can we keep driving?" Eve immediately told her favourite human about what was bothering her.

"Sure… I didn't plan to stop anything soon so let's just go through the town quickly and then we can set up camp a little further away," Qin Lan suggested calmly.

She drove the car through the abandoned town and even Qin Lan herself had to admit that something was off.

It was as though this mysterious place had been frozen in time even before the apocalypse had begun.

One could see shops, a motel and even a bar as they drove through the town.

Yet every single one of the buildings was completely silent.

"This… this is kind of scary," Gong Li softly whispered as she looked out of the window and saw the skeleton of a dog on the ground.

Qin Lan kept her eyes peeled for any hidden threats while Eve's fingernails were already beginning to grow out into black claws.

Everyone could tell that something was wrong here…

Qin Lan drove for around thirty minutes until she realised something. Wait a minute… didn't she just pass that bar a little while ago?

No… it must be her imagination.

She continued to drive but the familiar sight of the bar came into view every ten minutes as well as the motel and the series of shops.

But this didn't make any sense!

Qin Lan was sure that she had been driving in a straight line so unless this small town had identical buildings… it was impossible to go around in a circle!

"Sister Lan… did we pass that building before?" Liu Yifei asked curiously as she pointed at one of the houses.

"Yeah… girls I think that this place is weird… I've definitely driven pass those buildings and yet here they are again…" Qin Lan admitted with a slight frown on her face.

The sun had now fully set, and darkness had fallen upon the small town which made the terrifying atmosphere even scarier.

The only source of light came from the full moon which barely illuminated the road or the buildings to the side.

Qin Lan's frown got even deeper as she saw that the gas left in the tank was basically approaching empty.

Her original plan was to stop somewhere and refuel before driving some more until they reached a suitable site to set up camp.

But now…

"Liu Yifei can you give me a container of gas? I'm going to quickly refuel and then we can decide what to do next," Qin Lan calmly spoke as she hid the restless feelings in her heart.

The original Qin Lan had never encountered a situation like this before, so she wasn't sure how to proceed.

The young teenage girl in the backseat snapped her fingers and a large red container filled with gas appeared out of thin air.

Qin Lan thanked her and then took the red container and opened the door.

Eve followed closely behind her almost like a bodyguard as she walked over to the back of the car.

Thank goodness for Liu Yifei's storage space otherwise Qin Lan wasn't sure what she would have done in this situation.

The ground beneath her feet felt unexpectedly… soft?

A puzzled expression flashed across Qin Lan's face as she knelt down and touched the hard asphalt.

Her finger sank straight into the road as if it were butter.
