Chapter 345 Executing the Mission

Jiang Liyue didn't continue the topic with Chu Li in the end. When he looked at her, she gave him a look that said, "You've been caught slacking off at work again."

Chu Li also felt perfectly justified in slacking off.

He did create the zombie virus, but he wasn't the one who spread it. Besides, how could a body that has already changed possibly revert back to its original form?

Zombies and humans are now different species.

Zombies are also a type of supernatural being. How could a supernatural being possibly turn back into a human, just like cats and dogs can't turn back into humans?

"So, it's obviously impossible for me to research this kind of medicine." Chu Li paused. "But I can make a medicine that can resist the zombie virus."

As long as no new people turn into zombies, the apocalypse will end sooner or later.

As he spoke, Chu Li looked at Jiang Liyue, wanting to see the change in her expression.

She simply said "Oh" and then looked down to continue playing on her phone.

Chu Li: ...

I suddenly regretted giving her a cell phone.

"Baby, don't you have anything to say?" Chu Li took her phone with one hand, causing her to look up at him.

Jiang Liyue blinked slowly, "What did you say?"

"For example, let me develop the potion as soon as possible, and end the potion production process sooner..." Chu Li looked at her intently, "Don't you want that?"

Jiang Liyue shook her head, her face clearly sweet, yet her words were exceptionally cold and ruthless: "What does this have to do with me?"

Anyway, she'll return to the real world after the dungeon is up for thirty days.

As long as this instance world exists, zombies will continue to appear repeatedly.

She is aware of her own abilities; she can protect herself, but saving the entire instance is out of the question.

As for asking Chu Li to do something? Jiang Liyue knew he wasn't an ordinary person, and she would never ask him to be an upright and kind person; that was simply impossible.

The reason why Chu Li is Chu Li is not for any other reason, but simply because he is himself.

Therefore, Jiang Liyue never asked him to act according to her wishes (except in bed!).

Looking into her cold, emotionless eyes, Chu Li found her appearance incredibly captivating.

His eyes were filled with even more infatuation, and Chu Li leaned in and kissed her: "Baby, I love you so much."

Jiang Liyue gave him a perfunctory reply, then casually took her phone back from his hand and waved at him, "Alright, go play."

Chu Li: ...

He went back to studying his new drug with a blank expression.

For the next few days, Jiang Liyue accompanied Chu Li to work, mainly serving as... well... decoration.

Chu Li even prepared a super soft sofa for Jiang Liyue to rest on in his laboratory, and Zhang Pei would occasionally bring in some fruit and drinks.

Absolutely depraved!

After lying around for three days, even though her phone was fun, Jiang Liyue got bored. She had finally reached the apocalypse instance, and now she was just going to be a couch potato?

So on the fourth day, when Chu Li was about to continue wearing his little pendant to work, Jiang Liyue refused.

“I contacted Team Leader Han yesterday, and they said they would be leaving the base today for a mission, so I signed up.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Li's already indifferent face darkened instantly.

"Does Yueyue want to leave me? Want to run away to a place I can't find?" He reached out and grabbed her wrist. "I won't allow you to leave."

Jiang Liyue knew he was about to go crazy, so she leaned in and kissed him twice, then said coquettishly, "Honey, please let me explain first, okay?"

Chu Li had a dark expression, clearly refusing to communicate.

Ignoring his attitude, Jiang Liyue continued, "I've been lying around these past few days, and everyone thinks I'm a freeloader. Our family needs both of us to work hard, right?"

"Besides, I don't want to leave you, so I specifically chose a mission that lets me get back to the safe zone tonight. I want to go out and earn credits to support you too~"

When she spoke, she would stare at him with her big eyes, and after saying a few words, she would give him a kiss on the cheek in a coquettish manner, much like a woodpecker.

Chu Li's expression softened a bit, but it was still very dark: "I don't need you to support me."

“I know you don’t need it. My husband is the most capable and successful person in the entire safe zone. He earned me a big villa and 100,000 credits as soon as he entered the safe zone. Who wouldn’t envy me if I told others?” Jiang Liyue continued to kiss and act coquettishly.

"But I want to earn credits for you myself. I'll buy you clothes tomorrow, and then you can show off that I paid for them."

Her expressive eyes looked at him, and they were so captivating they could melt anyone's heart.

Chu Li knew that her sweet words were all to get him to agree to leave her.

He didn't want to agree, but he was also moved by what she said.

Finally, he could only say in a deep voice, "I'm only giving you one chance. If you don't come back tonight, I will punish you, baby, do you understand?"

She understood. Of course she understood. It was just the three-piece set of locking her in a dark room, chaining her, and killing her. She was already a pro at it...

Jiang Liyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, how could I lie to you?"

Chu Li looked at her, leaned down and kissed her lips. It wasn't her usual woodpecker-like pecking kiss, but a deep kiss that almost swallowed her whole.

After they were released, Jiang Liyue could only lean helplessly against his chest.

Chu Li held her waist with one hand and wiped her lips with the other, his voice low and chuckled: "Baby, are you sure you can handle this much stamina for missions?"

Jiang Liyue: ...Get out!

Do you know that she can kick a zombie ten meters away?

Although unwilling for Jiang Liyue to leave him to do missions, Chu Li still prepared many potions for her to put in his space.

"You know the function of the potion. Put it in your space and don't let anyone else know. Use it when necessary. Don't worry about others. Just make sure you survive."

He was like an anxious father to his child on his first long trip, patiently giving Jiang Liyue his instructions.

Jiang Liyue said with a hint of helplessness, "...I understand."

Just as she was about to leave, Chu Li stopped her again.

"Any other questions?" Jiang Liyue blinked.

"Do you love me now? Will you still love me after you come back? Will you love me more than before?"

These three soul-searching questions gave Jiang Liyue a sense of familiarity, as if he had asked them the same questions before.

As expected, no matter what the storyline or his character is, his essence remains unchanged.

[Hahaha, why does Dr. Chu look so much like a resentful husband?]

Isn't that right? :)

[Dr. Chu: What to do when your wife insists on going out by herself?]

[He's clearly a clingy puppy, okay?]

Jiang Liyue patiently replied, "Love, love, I'll always love you." Then she kissed him again, and quickly ran out the door while he wasn't looking, so as not to waste any more time with him.

Han Wei's car was waiting in front of Jiang Liyue's house. She quickly got in and waved to Chu Li at the door: "Okay, I'll be back on time tonight. Go to work now."

Chu Li stared at her intently, without saying a word.

Ugh, I'm having this anxiety attack the first time I've been separated from my wife. What should I do?

I want to bring her back right now... I want to so much...
