Chapter 352 Conducting Experiments

A black SUV was driving on a desolate highway.

There were no other vehicles on the road, only wandering zombies, broken walls and ruins, and a desolate sun that hung in the sky.

Jiang Liyue opened the car window to ventilate the room, her black hair flying wildly in the wind.

Chu Li drove with one hand, smashing through a group of zombies, and still managed to glance at Jiang Liyue beside him.

"Honey, do you think this counts as our first trip?" Jiang Liyue said with a smile. "We haven't traveled in the real world yet, but we've traveled in the instance first."

"If you like, I'll take you to play in the real world too." Chu Li always granted her every request.

Jiang Liyue shook her head after thinking about it: "Let's forget about it. What's so fun about reality?"

More and more places in the real world are being invaded by the bizarre, greatly restricting the scope of human activities, and many places have become forbidden zones.

The last time she went out was when she was invited to a cruise for a seafood feast.

"I think staying at home and lying down is pretty good too."

Chu Li turned his head and looked at her intently, with a hint of suggestion: "That's right, it's not bad to do some other exercises while lying down."

Jiang Liyue: ...

What's going on in your head all day long?!

"Of course it's Yueyue," Chu Li said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Liyue ignored him and continued playing on her phone.

There's no internet on the street now, but luckily she downloaded enough games and novels on her phone to play offline before leaving the safe zone.

When she ignored him, Chu Li tried every means to attract her attention.

Jiang Liyue treated him like an emperor, occasionally showering him with a few words of favor.

Chu Li was certainly not satisfied; he would never be satisfied with anything concerning Jiang Liyue.

So he simply stopped the car, ignoring how many zombies surrounded it, and pulled the person into his arms and kissed them.

Jiang Liyue's attention immediately returned to him.

Chu Li looked at her intently—

That's how it should be; just keep your eyes on him forever.

Their trip had no destination; they simply traveled and stopped along the way. Jiang Liyue felt tired of sitting in the car and wanted to get off.

The only problem is Jiang Liyue's ability to attract zombies.

Chu Li originally wanted to develop a special medicine to mask her scent, but found it was useless.

Jiang Liyue attracts zombies because of her "strange encounters and strange loves" aura, which has become increasingly powerful after so many instances.

This attraction, which comes from the soul, cannot be erased by any amount of potion.

So Chu Li had no choice but to research a potion that could keep zombies away. As long as a large area was sprinkled where they stayed, the zombies would not dare to approach.

However, they will instinctively linger outside the circle, much like crazy fans who follow celebrities.

When Chu Li discovered that the zombies' desire for Jiang Liyue wasn't just for food, but also for a mate, his face darkened.

Regardless of whether they are male or female zombies, these idiots actually dare to covet his adorable baby!

What to do if you suddenly discover you have tens of thousands of rivals in your love life?

Even though he knew that his Yueyue wouldn't like those low-quality, ugly, ant-like disgusting zombies, Chu Li still found it very annoying.

Jiang Liyue could see his emotions and was both amused and exasperated.

"You're even jealous of zombies?!"

"Theoretically speaking, zombies are also a kind of strange creature, and they will still possess sentience after evolving to a certain level," Chu Li explained seriously.

He paused. "More importantly, I'm a zombie too."

So why shouldn't he be jealous!

Jiang Liyue: Huh?

Is this the key point?

"That's not the point, are you a zombie?" Jiang Liyue asked, unusually surprised. "How could you be a zombie?"

Jiang Liyue thought that her boyfriend in this instance was actually a human being.

This sounds strange, but the truth is, he wasn't human in any of the previous instances.

"Yueyue, before we actually figured out the zombie virus, who do you think I was using for experiments?" Chu Li asked calmly.

Although he didn't have his original memories before, he was still himself. The choices that "Chu Li" made without his memories were still the choices he would have made anyway.

He was a truly mad scientist; besides using others as subjects for experiments, he would also use himself.

Isn't it normal to repeatedly test yourself, inject yourself with drugs, and transform yourself into a monster?

He's a real madman.

He was different from the others; even after being transformed into a zombie, he retained his human form and intelligence, instead of becoming a mindless walking corpse.

"That's because you're the game's favorite son," Jiang Liyue retorted.

That's how it is in every world. Other weirdos all look the way they want, but he's so handsome he doesn't seem to belong to any species.

That's so unfair!

This is what Jiang Liyue told the other strange beings.

Of course, it's also because he's handsome; otherwise, Jiang Liyue wouldn't have dated him...

In an instant, Jiang Liyue accepted the fact that Chu Li was a zombie. After all, he was originally non-human, so she got used to it.

"But won't I turn into a zombie if I exchange bodily fluids?" Jiang Liyue suddenly had a wild idea.

Chu Li: ...

He looked at Jiang Liyue with a half-smile: "If turning into a zombie were possible, baby, you would already be one."

After all, they have exchanged bodily fluids countless times, regardless of the type.

Jiang Liyue had said it that way on purpose, deliberately drawing out her words: "I see~"

"Hmm." Chu Li looked at her meaningfully, and then suddenly reached out and pulled her closer. "However, I think the previous experiment might not have been rigorous enough. Since Yueyue is curious, why don't we... try it again?"

Then Jiang Liyue was carried to the car.

This time, the bodily fluids were completely exchanged, so that she could experience whether she would turn into a zombie.

Chu Li deliberately whispered in her ear, "Hmm... For the sake of the rigor of the experiment, we need to do a control experiment."

"For example, this time, we can go a little deeper."

It must be said that Chu Li truly deserves to be called a meticulous and brilliant scientist.

After several sets of controlled experiments, Chu Li finally proved to Jiang Liyue that exchanging bodily fluids would not turn her into a zombie.

This was the happiest experiment Chu Li had ever done.

Jiang Liyue said that the experiment was good, but it was a bit hard on her back.

It was already dark. She was wrapped in the pink blanket that Chu Li had prepared for her, and sat by the fire watching Chu Li roast meat for her.

Neither of them spoke; the only sounds in the air were the faint crackling of the campfire and the distant, indistinct roars of zombies.

But the tranquil atmosphere didn't feel awkward; instead, a gentle sense of warmth permeated the air.

Jiang Liyue watched him silently for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "Chu Li, do fewer experiments in the future."

Chu Li was both amused and exasperated.

“That won’t do.” He refused decisively. “What can I do? I’m a scientist who loves experiments.”

"And baby, weren't you being very cooperative just now?"

They're all bastards, especially men who've had sex; they're all bastards after all.
