"I enjoy having effective conversations with intelligent people." Xiao Ning's delicate features curled into a gloomy smile.

"I heard there's a zombie virus vaccine here. I was thinking of taking a few to try, but I didn't expect to find something good."

He gracefully picked up the cartoon water cup from Jiang Hui's table, walked over to the machine, filled it to the brim with fluorescent green catalyst, and drank it all in one gulp. "Compared to rotten and spoiled zombie meat, this catalyst is more palatable."

With each swallow, the veins in Xiao Ning's neck bulged, and the well-defined muscles throughout his body twitched slowly as if alive. His lips and nose involuntarily furrowed, revealing that he was enduring a strong physical discomfort.

Instead of trying to expel the catalyst, the man seemed to be enjoying it immensely.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, his face showing utter speechlessness.

At least put your pants on first, right?

Although the pressure to survive in the apocalypse is great and people don't care much about gender boundaries, does that mean Xiao Ning can let himself go and kill others?

“CM’s catalyst has been updated and upgraded to the fifth generation. The current catalyst can greatly enhance the drinker’s combat power in a short period of time.” Xiao Ning took another cup, still not satisfied. “However, this medicine has extremely high requirements for the drinker’s physical condition. If the power cannot be controlled, it is easy to die suddenly.”

Before he could finish speaking, a blue and white checkered bed sheet flew at his face.

"Wrap it up and then talk to me."

Lu Sheng's cold voice came from not far away.

"Sorry, I've been a zombie for a while and I'm a bit slow."

Xiao Ning chuckled softly, casually draped a bed sheet over the experimental equipment for cover, and then took off his clothes from the already chilled Tian Ye and put them on.

Lu Sheng scoffed coldly, his lips twitching with slight impatience. "It's an eyesore."

"Their current research project is to transplant firearms into zombies. If they can actually mass-produce them, the nearby bases of all sizes will soon become CM Company strongholds."

After changing his clothes, Xiao Ning fondled his mechanical arm, trying to fire at the nutrient tank in the distance.

A laser beam as thick as a pencil shot out from the fingertip of the robotic arm, instantly burning a deep hole in the thick door of the nutrient tank.

The thick nutrient solution sprayed all over the floor, quickly turning the laboratory into a mess.

"So, are you interested in cooperating?" Xiao Ning, dressed in a white lab coat, with an expression where the smile never reached his eyes, gave off a somewhat suave and roguish vibe.

Lu Sheng's cold eyes remained calm and unwavering as he silently tightened his grip on the knife hilt. "Jiang Hui's body is still warm. Do you think I would agree?"

"Trusting the villain is the beginning of the protagonist's self-destruction."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Sheng's long sword had already transformed into a cold light and ruthlessly slashed towards Xiao Ning's smiling profile.

The reason he patiently listened to Xiao Ning talk so much was simply to get more information about CM Company from him. Now that he had asked enough questions, there was no need to keep him around.

But to Lu Sheng's surprise, Xiao Ning suddenly raised her hands to her ears, making a gesture of giving up resistance, and said sincerely, "How can I make you trust me?"

"Just say the word."

The blade stopped just a hair's breadth away from Xiao Ning's nose.

He gave a bitter smile. "This woman can betray her teachers and classmates today, and she'll betray me tomorrow. She's too stupid to be fooled by a few sweet words from an experimental subject. She's a stupid and wicked piece of trash. Keeping her around is just a waste of resources."

"Ultimately, all I want is to live. What's wrong with that? The apocalypse is all about the survival of the fittest."

It's said that sincerity is the most powerful weapon, but it depends on who uses it.

Xiao Ning's crazy sincerity is like buying a scratch-off lottery ticket; you're worried that after spending ten yuan to scratch it off, it will be "I'll definitely do it again next time."

But the half-zombie hostage still smelled good...

Complete immunity to the zombie virus can make the game experience easy in many situations. Although Lu Sheng has been thinking about it, the little girl is a bit simple-minded, and Lu Sheng is not at ease letting her do dangerous things.

But Xiao Ning is different; she doesn't feel bad even if she breaks something.

"Tell me, how can I prove my sincerity?" Xiao Ning's gaze was intense.

Lu Sheng pondered for a few seconds, and a black leather collar appeared in his hand.

I bought the pet collar from the system store when I brought Shi Nian back to the base, and I never thought I would have a second chance to use it.

[Pet collar: The host can use the collar to capture their favorite creatures.]

Pets must be absolutely loyal to their owners.

The master's commands are absolute; if a pet disobeys its master's instructions, it will suffer a severe backlash.

The owner can remove the collar at any time.

Upon seeing the leather collar in Lu Sheng's hand, Xiao Ning paused for a second, but quickly revealed a meaningful smile, "Want to be Her Highness the Princess's dog?"

"I didn't expect you to be so cute, but you have such unusual tastes."

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched twice by Lu Shengbang.

"Once you put on the collar, you must be absolutely loyal to me. You should know what will happen if you disobey my orders."

Lu Sheng lowered his eyes and looked down at Xiao Ning, who was sitting in the chair, with an indifferent expression. "I'll give you five seconds to think about it."

"It won't take that long."

Xiao Ning suddenly stood up, bent down and put the pet collar around her neck, then leaned down to kiss Lu Sheng's fingertips, "Fighting for you, my lady."

Bang bang.

Before her lips could even touch Lu Sheng's nails, she was met with two familiar and affectionate punches.
