In the main bedroom, Ling Xiao was getting ready to head out. He was heading to the army base a few miles away to report in and attend the briefing for tomorrow's mission.
"Are you heading out now?" Emilia asked as she reclined on the door.
"Yes I'm expected to report in and attend the mission briefing" Ling Xiao replied
"Do you have to go for this mission?" she asked approaching him and fixing the crease on his military uniform
"Mhm, this mission is important." Ling Xiao replied.
"What's so important there anyway?" Emilia asked him
"The mission given to us is to take out a group of escaped criminals who stole some important government information but our actual mission is to escort Professor Li back into the country without being discovered by foreign nationals." Ling Xiao responded after a brief pause
"Professor Li.. why does that name sound so familiar...? Emilia mumbled to herself
Professor li was the head researcher among the scientists that were researching the cure for the zombie virus. Though he hadn't succeeded in developing the cure by the time I died I believe he should have been close after all he did develop the S serum that was able to strengthen ordinary people's bodies against the virus, so it is vital for me to make sure he will make it back to the country safe and sound" Ling Xiao explained
"oh I guess he should be brought back safely then but knowing you, you wouldn't place so much importance on a chance. That professor hadn't developed the cure after so many years and who knows how many more years it will take him to finally develop it or if he even can develop it. I guess that you are after something else, something that can give you immediate benefits or will benefit you in the short term." Emilia responded her feet dangling from the bed
"Well someone seems to know me a little too well." Ling Xiao said as he stalked towards her. He placed his arms on both sides of her on the bed surrounding her in his arms.
"Of course, I'm your wife" Emilia exclaimed
"Hum" Ling Xiao smirked a bit and gave her a quick peck on the lips "well you are right, though the scientist is important there are quite a number of them that survived the first fall and might just be able to achieve what Professor Li achieved. What I'm after is the dew moonlight flower I once saw in that area"
"What" Emilia exclaimed in shock her eyes widening as she stared at him in shock
"Mhm in my past life while escorting professor Li my team was met with an ambush. While escaping we changed routes and advanced deep into the forest and on a cliff hidden away I discovered a small group of moonlight flowers, about five or six of them but at that time I only thought they were pretty looking flowers so I didn't pay much attention to them and left them behind. By the time I found out their use the apocalypse had already been in the middle of its second year and it was nearly impossible to travel there to get them. Not to mention the danger on the road with all the advanced zombies the flowers were deep in the forest one can imagine the number of mutated plants living there so I had to give it up."
"So you want to collect them in advance" Emilia rhetorically asked more. Emilia finally understood why Ling Xiao was so adamant about going on this trip, even though she was tempted.
The moonlight flower was a kind of mutated flower that was able to nourish the ground by removing toxins and making it easier for plants to grow without being affected by all the toxins and viruses that run rampant during the apocalypse. No one knew how that flower came to be or how it mutated but it was one of the most sought out flowers during the apocalypse. The kind that is highly sought after but with no market.
