Xiao Mu looked at Shen Yu standing by the window, his deep eyes narrowing slightly. It seemed that life wouldn't be too boring from now on.

Jiang Yao hung the blackout curtains on the window so that the people on the other side couldn't see what the people inside were doing. Then she took out a dining table, chairs, and other kitchen utensils from the space.

As Shen Zhijie watched Jiang Yao take out pieces of furniture and kitchenware from her space, he began to wonder about Jiang Yao's space.

"Your space isn't like Noah's Ark, where everything is stored, is it?" After saying that, he walked towards the sofa that Jiang Yao had just taken out.

You really know how to enjoy the feel of this sofa!

Shen Zhijie jumped up and sat down abruptly, "Wow, this feels really comfortable."

"Jiang Yao, may I visit your Kong family home?"

Jiang Yao shook her head and rejected Shen Zhijie's idea, "Living things can't enter this space, but plants can stay inside for a short time."

Shen Zhijie sighed with some regret, "I thought we could go in and take refuge in a critical moment!"

Jiang Yao looked at Shen Zhijie with a wry smile, "You're overthinking it, brother."

When Xiao Mu saw this sofa, he couldn't help but think of the time when he learned Jiang Yao's secret, and the smile on his lips was clearly from the heart.

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhijie acted as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret. He quickly walked to Xiao Mu's side, nudged Xiao Mu's arm with his elbow, and carefully asked, "Brother Xiao, what good news has made you so happy?"

"Tell me so I can be happy too."

Xiao Mu raised an eyebrow at Shen Zhijie, seemingly in a good mood, but her words were ruthless: "Those who know my secret, you know what will happen to you." Shen Zhijie looked into Xiao Mu's eyes and felt a chill run down his spine. He chuckled awkwardly and stepped back.

Jiang Yao looked at Xiao Mu, who was sitting back on the sofa with his legs naturally crossed. "Heh, he sits really naturally."

She approached Xiao Mu, leaned forward naturally to meet his gaze, and narrowed her eyes slightly. "I think you should move around instead of sitting here."

Xiao Mu leaned slightly to one side, his left hand lightly resting on his left temple. His dark eyes, as black as ink, were fixed on Jiang Yao. With a smile on his lips, he slowly parted his lips and said, "Didn't you say that..."

"There are even more comfortable sofas for me to sit on than the one I sat on last time, aren't there?" As she finished speaking, she lightly drew circles on the sofa armrest with her finger.

Memories of Shichang Village suddenly flooded Jiang Yao's mind. She pretended to be nonchalant, straightened up, gritted her teeth, and waved her hand, saying, "Please sit down." After saying that, she angrily returned to the kitchen.

Shen Zhijie, who was in a corner of the living room, saw the conversation and actions of the two clearly. It seemed that Jiang Yao had something on Xiao Mu. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Ye Ziyao had just returned to the Housing Authority when someone told her that someone had moved into the single-person room again.

But can someone tell her why her crush is here?

Ye Ziyao didn't care about anything else. She quickly tidied her appearance, put on her signature smile, and said to Xiao Mu, "Hi, hello, my name is Ye Ziyao, and I'm your floor manager."

"If the house needs any repairs or if you need to renew the lease in the future, you can contact me."

Xiao Mu looked coldly at the woman in front of him and said, "I know." He then closed the door.

Ye Ziyao was somewhat incredulous that he had actually locked her out of the room. She knew that everyone who lived alone in these houses was extremely polite to her.

That is to say, he always had a cold and aloof demeanor, but it was precisely because of this that I liked him!

Jiang Yao came out of the kitchen and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Mu simply said, "An insignificant person."

I wonder what Ye Ziyao would think if she heard that.

After a quick tidying up, Jiang Yao, Shen Zhijie, and Xiao Mu arrived at the mission management office, where they met Sang Ze, who was receiving a mission.

After Sang Ze's introduction, the group gained a general understanding of the mission hierarchy and some special missions.

Sang Ze looked at Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu, and Jiang Yao slowly said, "Do you see that task bar?"

“Anywhere there’s a red sign is a special mission. I see there’s a mission to capture an experimental subject alive.”

"No matter what level, even the lowest level crawler is fine, as long as it's alive."

"How about teaming up with me?"

"This task isn't too difficult, and most importantly, it gives a lot of points!"

Seeing that Sang Ze was so confident, Jiang Yao felt that he must have some secret weapon, so she walked up to Sang Ze and whispered, "Do you have some secret weapon?"

Despite their hushed conversation, Shen Zhijie overheard it and, unable to resist his curiosity, looked at Sang Ze with expectant eyes.

Sangze scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by their stares. "There's no secret weapon. I took this mission purely out of brute force."

After hearing this, Shen Zhijie secretly thought, "Brute force is great! No need to use your brain."

"There's nothing we can do. Sang You has been locked up in the lab ever since he was brought back."

"In order to make them treat Sang You better, I can only earn more points or get some rare items to give to them."

"Sigh, I wonder how Sang You is doing now?"

Jiang Yao was puzzled. Sang You was the lab's most prized researcher, so why was he detained?

After hearing this, Xiao Mu looked at Sang Ze thoughtfully. He must be under house arrest!

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhijie could hardly believe his ears. "Who is managing the base now? How can they so blatantly impose house arrest?"

Sang Ze sighed as he looked at the mission board. He had heard that a high-ranking official from Haizhou had been sent to oversee the area, and even the laboratory was now directly under his management.
