Free Web NovelChapter 26: Chapter 12 Revealing the Zombie Beast_2
On top of his mediocre facial features, he was in sharp contrast to the handsome Little Henry. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Little Chen, you go in first."
"Alright, Headmaster."
Little Chen walked to the side of the glass house and pushed the door open to enter.
[Awoo...]xN
As soon as the zombie beasts smelled a living person, they immediately reacted.
They leaned against the iron fence, sniffing with their noses while growling softly.
"Remember their reaction now."
Director Jones reminded everyone, then turned on the microphone of the operating console: "Little Chen, you can come out now."
"Next up, it’s your turn to go in, Little Henry."
"Yes, Chief Officer!"
Little Henry walked in with his gun.
When the two passed each other in and out, Little Chen had an unpleasant expression on his face.
This expression was not fear but more like a certain degree of displeasure and resentment.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Little Henry stepped into the glass house, the zombie beasts immediately became agitated.
They even stretched their hands out and shook the iron fence forcefully, desperately trying to stretch their mouths out from between the fence bars, but they could only manage to bite the air in the end.
Even as a psychologically strong soldier, Little Henry’s face still showed an unpleasant expression, and he was somewhat frightened.
"Alright, Little Henry, you can come out now."
Upon hearing Director Jones’ command, he hurriedly walked out without wanting to stay a moment longer.
It was clear that when Little Chen and Little Henry entered the glass house, the reactions of the zombie beasts were different.
"So, why do you think the reactions of the zombie beasts were different for the two of them?"
Director Jones looked at the others at this time.
Straw Man: "You ask me, who am I supposed to ask, grass."
Mossy Mushroom: "Is it because Little Henry is holding a gun that it makes the zombie beasts more alert?"
"That’s not right. Don’t forget they are blinded and can’t see."
Director Jones laughed and shook her head, and continued, "Moreover, the intelligence of the zombie beasts is even lower than that of cats and dogs. To them, holding a gun is no different from holding a broom."
"Look closer at the differences between Little Chen and Little Henry." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
She continued to hint.
"Could it be the difference in flesh? Does Little Henry smell better?"
Ree Shil doubted.
"What you said is very close."
Director Jones nodded her head and decided not to make it difficult for them any longer, so she revealed, "In fact, the biggest difference between Little Chen and Little Henry for the zombie beasts is that Little Henry looks handsome, and Little Chen looks ugly."
Little Chen: "Headmaster..."
Everyone: "????"
"Yes, when we first reached this conclusion, none of us researchers could believe it."
"These zombie beasts actually have a sense of smell that can judge a person’s appearance."
Director Jones’ words left Ree Shil and the others dumbfounded.
"To judge appearance with one’s sense of smell? What kind of concept is that! Cute Mushroom!"
"What does it mean, grass."
"Director Jones, so you mean..."
Ree Shil seemed to have thought of something.
"That’s right. These zombie beasts only bite faces, and the better-looking the face, the more attractive it is to them."
Director Jones finally revealed the answer.
Ree Shil: "In that case, I’m in great danger."
Straw Man: "And me, grass!"
Mossy Mushroom: "Wait, did you guys just accept it? Don’t you find it outrageous? And you, Straw Man! You obviously didn’t understand it, so why the heck are you chiming in!"
"Through our repeated experiments and calculations, we have found that people with better looks are indeed more likely to be discovered and attacked by zombie beasts."
"Measures such as plastic surgery or wearing masks are ineffective. Perhaps it’s not entirely accurate to describe it this way, but they can indeed determine your original appearance through smell."
"In addition, we conjecture that when the target is extremely ugly, the attraction to the zombie beasts tends towards 0."
"In other words, theoretically, as long as you are ugly enough, zombie beasts won’t bite you, and might even ignore you."
Director Jones added.
"Why are you looking at me while saying that!"
Mossy Mushroom suddenly noticed that there was something off about this woman’s gaze.
At this point, the mission panel popped up once more.

[Congratulations, mission completed]
However, it was a pity that there was no reward.
"By the way, Director Jones, we encountered a strange guy on our way here."
Ree Shil told Director Jones about meeting the strengthened zombie beast.
Now that she mentioned it, the cook had survived alone until now, not because of luck, but because he was ugly.
Cook: I thank you.
"Oh? We haven’t encountered this kind of zombie beast before."
"This is an issue that deserves attention."
"Uh... you guys follow me back to my office."
After thinking for a moment, Director Jones decided to discuss more in-depth issues with them.
Ten minutes later, inside the office.
"What? A power that does not belong to this world?"
Mr. Liu, having heard Director Jones’ words, couldn’t help but stand up.
However, Ree Shil and the others remained silent.
Weren’t they from a place that did not belong to this world?
"Mr. Liu, at first we didn’t believe it either."
Seeing Mr. Liu’s reaction, Director Jones revealed a bitter smile.
Through continuous research and verification, they found a completely unseen form of material-energy in the bodies of these zombie beasts.
She called this existence "magic" because it was absolutely impossible for humans to create it, even with the most advanced technology.
