The comfortable living environment and entertainment facilities immediately made the three people, apart from Lu Sheng and Sun Lu, completely relax their guard. Even Li Kaixuan, who had just asked Meng Rui about the whereabouts of the others, completely let down his guard and lay on the bed with a comfortable expression, fiddling with the projector.

Meanwhile, Zou Lu had already opened the refrigerator and was eating the chilled watermelon in big bites.

Lu Sheng coldly surveyed the furnishings inside the room.

The room is about 200 square meters, somewhat like a larger version of a hospital room. There are eight single beds arranged in two rows in the room.

There are still all-around, no-blind-spot camera surveillance devices, and even seemingly harmless projectors are equipped with miniature infrared cameras.

The room was filled with a faint, somewhat pungent smell of disinfectant.

Although the luxurious environment may seem more comfortable, it is essentially still a large luxury prison, no different from before.

Before the group had even settled in, the research institute sent someone to deliver dinner.

The meal consisted of four dishes and a soup, along with dessert. Three of the dishes were meat dishes, and the last one, which could barely be considered a vegetarian dish, was a cold spicy and sour shrimp salad.

This level of food was already top-tier in the apocalypse. Li Kaixuan and Zhang Zhiguo's eyes lit up as they looked at the overflowing meat on the plates, and they took the plates and began to wolf it down.

As usual, Lu Sheng used his mental power to temporarily affect the camera, then found a secluded corner and dumped the food into his spatial storage.

After dinner, the remaining three people soon felt their eyelids getting heavy.

"People tend to get sleepy when they're in a relaxed environment." Before Li Kaixuan could finish speaking, he collapsed onto his pillow and started snoring.

Zhang Zhiguo forced his eyelids open and rearranged the blankets. As soon as he lay down, his breathing became even.

Meanwhile, Zou Lu on the other side was already dreaming.

"Go to sleep early." Lu Sheng gestured to the infrared camera that flashed on the wall out of the corner of his eye, and then lay down on the bed.

Sun Lu immediately understood and pretended to yawn, "I'm so sleepy, I haven't eaten this much in ages."

The two lay down without opening their eyes, silently counting the time in their minds.

About ten minutes later, a rustling sound came from the doorway.

The room door was opened from the outside with a key, and five men in sterile gowns filed in.

Lu Sheng and Sun Lu lay naturally on their sides on the bed, their acting skills far surpassing those of the popular young actresses before the apocalypse.

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, only able to vaguely see a few figures looking at the people in the room.

Those people seemed to be choosing a target, and finally selected Zhang Zhiguo, whose bed was on the outermost side.

"Let's take this one. He looks like he does manual labor; he's strong and healthy," one of them said in a low voice.

The others discussed it for a while, and soon they took out a stretcher and carried Zhang Zhiguo out of the room.

The men were very rough in carrying him, but Zhang Zhiguo didn't react at all throughout the process, snoring loudly.

After the footsteps faded into the distance, the two people in the room opened their eyes at the same time.

The dinner provided by the research institute was indeed problematic.

Not only Zhang Zhiguo, but Li Kaixuan and Meng Rui also remained completely unresponsive, as if they were fast asleep, despite the commotion in the room.

There must have been a hypnotic ingredient in my dinner just now.

After a moment's consideration, Lu Sheng used his points to exchange for two more bottles of antidote and a power booster from the system shop and gave them to Sun Lu.

Around five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zhiguo was carried back on a stretcher by the same group of people.

Lu Sheng and Sun Lu barely managed to stay in bed until around eight o'clock, and only got up after Li Kaixuan and Zou Lu woke up.

"You fell asleep pretty quickly yesterday." Sun Lu got out of bed and walked to Zhang Zhiguo's side, pretending to make conversation, but actually observing him closely.

Zhang Zhiguo's appearance didn't seem to change, except that his face was a little pale.

"I'm like a wild boar that can't handle fine food. I finally get to sleep on a soft bed, but after one night I'm exhausted, my whole body feels like it's falling apart," Zhang Zhiguo complained as he stretched his shoulders.

Li Kaixuan, leaning against the headboard, said, "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few more days of good weather."

"You didn't sleep well. Do you feel unwell anywhere?" Sun Lu asked casually, trying to elicit information.

Zhang Zhiguo stretched his stiff neck. "Nothing else seems to be wrong, but I feel a bit cold."

Is it a bit cold?

Lu Sheng calmly observed Zhang Zhiguo. He had disappeared for a night, and although there were no obvious wounds on his body, his face was frighteningly pale.

Her gaze fell on Zhang Zhiguo's rolled-up sleeves, finally settling on a tiny red dot on his arm.
