Professor Grant continued, “Does Professor Thompson think he's watching a disaster horror movie?”
The term zombie is entirely fictitious and exists only in film and television works.
Coston narrowed his eyes, “You also know about Professor Thompson's influence in the biological community. Many people have already taken up the banner of protest. Not only the general public but also many well-known scientific researchers.”
Grant turned to look at Coston and added, “So, what we should be doing now is to accelerate the pace of our experiments and use the results to slap these people in the face.”
Like Piloy, Grant was full of confidence in the P*D Plan.
Coston nodded.

Piloy stood in front of the bathroom mirror, meticulously cleaning stains that were no longer on her face.
After washing her face, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and opened the news app.
As soon as she launched the APP, numerous news push notifications bombarded her.
[The End of the World]
[Zombie Virus]
[Immediately halt the P*D Plan!]
Piloy squinted her eyes.
It seems she had underestimated Viola Thompson's impression in the biological community.
But this was good.
The bigger the fuss, the more embarrassed Viola Thompson would be when the experiments were completed.
By then, all those supporting Viola Thompson would be in for a shock!
As she scrolled through the comments below the news, Piloy's eyes shone with smugness, as though she had already seen herself successfully completing the experiment.
Capital City.
Eva Webster sat on the couch, holding onto Olivia Armstrong's arm, chuckling, “Auntie, Isla has been so busy lately, and our company just happens to have a four-day vacation. I'll stay here with you for these four days and keep you good company. Death is irreversible, and I believe big cousin Wennie will definitely be reborn into a good family in her next life. You shouldn't be so sad.”
Olivia Armstrong had not yet recovered from Christina Armstrong's death, a layer of sadness shrouding her face. She patted Eva's hand, “It's okay, Eva. You young people should be busy with your own lives. Besides, these days your mother is also upset. You should go back and keep her company.”
At the mention of her mother, Eva brushed it off, “It's fine, she has my brother.”
Keeping company was a pretext.
She really wanted to stay a few days at the Astir family's home.
Eva Webster wanted to see if Mandel Thompson truly had her in his heart.
With Christina Armstrong gone, Olivia Armstrong had only Eva left as a niece, and she said, “Eva, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you.”
“Home-cooked food is fine,” Eva replied, “I'm not picky.”
“Alright then,” Olivia Armstrong nodded, “There's still some vegetables that Isla bought yesterday in the fridge. I'll stir-fry some in a bit.”
Hearing this, Eva frowned subtly.
Although she wasn't picky, Olivia Armstrong could have shown a little more hospitality.
She was a guest, yet Olivia Armstrong wouldn't even bother buying vegetables.
What kind of aunt was that?
Although she was somewhat displeased, Eva did not show it and nodded, “Okay Auntie, anything is fine for dinner, please don't trouble yourself.”
Although Olivia was not in the best of spirits, she still made four dishes and a soup for dinner.
There were only three people at the dinner table.
Isla Astir had not returned.
Eva found it odd, “Auntie, why hasn't Isla come back yet?”
Olivia replied, “She's out having dinner with someone.”
Out for dinner?
Eva squinted her eyes, “With whom? Is Isla in a relationship?”
Olivia answered, “It seems to be with that Mr. Thompson who came to our house last time.”
Mr. Thompson?
Could it be Mandel Thompson?
No!
Impossible!
How could Mandel Thompson possibly go out for dinner alone with Isla Astir?
What was Isla Astir to him?
Not only did she lack an impressive family background, she didn't even have a striking resume.
How could Mandel Thompson possibly dine with Isla Astir?
And moreover.
If Isla Astir really had dinner with Mandel Thompson, how would Olivia know?
So.
It must be a lie Olivia and Isla Astir concocted together.
Isla Astir's purpose was simple.
She wanted to use a ruse to make herself believe that Mandel Thompson liked her, all to make her step back.
Because Isla knew, as long as Eva was around, Mandel Thompson wouldn't give her a second glance.
So, Isla deliberately had Olivia tell her that she was dining with Mandel Thompson.
Did Isla take her for a fool?
To be deceived by such a low-grade welcome?
At that thought, Eva said with a half-hearted smile, “It looks like Isla might be on to something good. Maybe Mr. Thompson is pursuing her!”
