Someone from Ark Camp Three spoke up. “You’re not actually going to auction off that <b>zombie</b>, are you?”
“Of course not. Lucy stepped forward with a dazzling smile. “We’re auctioning off… the Zombie Virus Inhibitor
The entire hall froze. Every pair of eyes widened at her words, and half of Ark Camp Three’s people shot to their feet with a loud tter.
Morgan stared at her in disbelief. “What did you just say?!”
“The Zombie Virus Inhibitor,” Lucy repeated, smiling serenely. “Ark Camp Two has sessfully developed an inhibitor with an 80% sess rate.”
Shock rippled through the crowd. All eyes locked on Ark Camp Two’s delegation, while Theresa’s gaze grew darker and moreplicated.
Impossible. Not even after a decade into the apocalypse had humanity managed <i>to </i><i>develop </i>a <i>zombie </i><i>virus </i><i>inhibitor </i>before I died and returned. So, these guys couldn’t <i>have </i><i>figured </i><i>it </i><i>out</i>.
Even if they don’t care about saving anyone, <i>a </i>miracle <i>drug </i>like that <i>would </i>make <i>them </i><i>kings</i><i>–</i><i>saviors </i><i>of </i>the <i>world</i><i>. </i>They’d never hide <i>it </i><i>away </i>out here in the middle <i>of </i>nowhere, still <i>worried </i><i>about </i>the <i>zombie </i><i>threat</i><i>. </i><i>No. </i><i>This </i><i>can’t </i><i>be </i>real.
This is thetest result of long–term research by our Inner Ring management,” Lucy said. She gestured, and a camp worker pushed a young woman forward.
Theresa recognized her instantly–it was the servant girl who had angered the man in the white mask earlier.
Bound hand and foot, gagged, she was pushed to the ss enclosure.
Lucy gave a slight nod, and the next second, a’small hatch opened in the ss. The girl’s head was shoved through, her muffled cries turning into raw terror.
The starving zombie lunged at once, sinking its teeth into her cheek.
“Mmphhh!”
A handler yanked the chain hard, dragging the zombie back. A chunk of bloody flesh tore free, leaving a gruesome wound for all to see.
The zombie, whipped into a frenzy by the smell of fresh blood, snarled and mmed against the ss.
The hatch mmed shut. The zombie was caged again and wheeled offstage, while the servant girl copsed to the floor, half her face tom open.
Lucy held up a syringe. “This is the Zombie Virus Inhibitor”
At her signal, several attendants pinned the girl down. Lucy crouched gracefully beside her, slid the needle into her arm, and pushed the entire dose into her bloodstream.

The girl convulsed almost immediately.

“Our tests show that if the inhibitor is administered within one minute of infection, there is an 80% chance- the subject will not turn.”
“And the other 20?” someone from Ark Camp Three demanded.
“They die on the spot,” Lucy replied with the same pleasant smile.
Silence fell.
Eighty percent immunity, twenty percent death. To many, it sounded like salvation–at least there would be no transformation into a zombie.
All eyes turned toward the girl on the floor.
The seconds crawled by. Her spasms finally stilled. Shey face down in a pool of her own blood, the crimson soaking through her clothes.
After a long, tense pause, she suddenly lifted her head.
A startled cry rose from the women of Ark Camp Three, who recoiled instinctively. The rest of the hall watched her like hawks.
Her eyes… were normal. No cloudy whiteness, no feral gleam. Her pupils stayed ck, her chest rose and fell as she breathed, and she showed no signs of aggression or mutation.
The hall went silent.
“You’ve all seen it for yourselves. This is our Zombie Virus Inhibitor.”
Apuse broke out from Ark Camp Two’s section, spreading quickly to the other two camps. Morgan pped just as enthusiastically, the room buzzing with awe at Ark Camp Two’s technology.
Only Theresa remained still, her eyes fixed on the vacant stare of the girl onstage. She extended her mind power to sense the girl’s presence.
Something was wrong.
Normal humans appeared red to her senses. Zombies were white.
