Gu Qingqiu's actions became increasingly unrestrained. Luo Ze'en felt a surge of heat spread from his brain throughout his body. He felt a dryness in his throat, and even his voice became low and hoarse: "...Enough."

But those nimble hands didn't stop there. Lozen's reaction emboldened them to become even more audacious, even venturing deeper into Lozen's secret forbidden zone, a place that no one but themselves had ever touched.

Luo Ze'en's eyes clearly panicked. He realized that Gu Qingqiu was serious. "No...don't do this, Dr. Gu..."

Under the dual stimulation of the senses and touch, Gu Qingqiu clearly felt that the object in her hand had changed.

No matter how stubborn you are, your physiological reactions can't lie.

Lozen closed his eyes again. He couldn't believe he had reacted this way to Gu Qingqiu, this mad scientist. He might as well just let him die.

A few minutes later, Lozen's body trembled violently.

Gu Qingqiu was somewhat surprised: "So fast?"

Lozen wanted to argue, but it was the truth. Whether he was nervous or it was the first time he had been treated like this, he was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

Gu Qingqiu seemed to get up and leave. Luo Ze'en felt a sudden sense of loss, but when he opened his eyes and saw Gu Qingqiu carefully putting the things she had collected in her palm into a test tube, he immediately closed his eyes again, looking like he was about to faint from the shock.

Eager to reach experimental conclusions, Gu Qingqiu washed her hands and immediately took the test tubes and left.

Lozen only realized what was happening when he heard the door close, and he shouted anxiously, "Hey—you could at least pull my pants up for me!"

Gu Qingqiu looked at the test results with emotion, revealing the first relieved smile she had shown since coming into this world. As expected, the male lead's genes had a significant impact on the experimental results, greatly improving efficiency. However, for the sake of rigor, she still had to take multiple samples for research to ensure the accuracy of the results.

The male protagonist system also appeared at the right time to "congratulate" Gu Qingqiu, saying that the current experience bar progress has increased to 8%, but this was obviously not as exciting for Gu Qingqiu as the 58% progress of the calculation program on the laboratory computer.

Later, Gu Qingqiu went to see Luo Ze'en several more times, each time making Luo Ze'en blush and his heart race. Fortunately, the duration of the later encounters was much longer than the first time, allowing Luo Ze'en to regain some face, and also making Gu Qingqiu feel a little sore in her hands.

Luo Ze'en had already vaguely guessed Gu Qingqiu's purpose, but this behavior made him feel extremely ashamed, as if he were an animal being manipulated by Gu Qingqiu without any dignity.

Even more frightening is that Lozen finds himself developing strange feelings for Gu Qingqiu, perhaps... Stockholm syndrome.

Even though he was the victim and Gu Qingqiu was the perpetrator, he still couldn't help but develop feelings of love and dependence on her.

Upon realizing this, Luo Ze'en felt increasingly uneasy. No... he couldn't go on like this. He had to calm himself down. If one day he could leave this hellish place, he would definitely seek revenge on Gu Qingqiu!

Another week passed, and Luo Ze'en felt his body temperature rise whenever he saw Gu Qingqiu enter his room. His gaze would involuntarily follow Gu Qingqiu, yearning for her approach and touch.

But Gu Qingqiu just stood far away with a notebook, recording the values ​​on the instrument next to Luo Ze'en, and then... just left?

After several attempts, Gu Qingqiu did not make any further offensive moves, and Luo Ze'en felt a slight sense of loss. Finally, when Gu Qingqiu was about to leave for the fifth time, Luo Ze'en couldn't help but call out to her.

Gu Qingqiu turned around, her expression somewhat puzzled.

Luo Ze'en knew that if Gu Qingqiu left now, the next time they would meet would be at least ten hours later. Gu Qingqiu should go back to rest, and he now knew her daily routine very well.

So, after some hesitation and deliberation, Lozen finally spoke up, "Is there... is there no... experiment today?"

"Which experiment?" Gu Qingqiu's confusion was answered when she saw Luo Ze'en's slightly flushed cheeks.

So he's had his fill of sex and can't control himself now? After all, he's a young man full of vigor.

Gu Qingqiu expressed her understanding. After thinking for a moment, she sat down on the edge of Luo Ze'en's bed very naturally. "Do you need my help?"

Lozen stared wide-eyed in disbelief. This woman was the one who needed him first, so why did it seem like he was the one who benefited? Although... it seemed that he wasn't at a loss in some ways.

"This... how can this be called helping?" Luo Ze'en managed to squeeze out this sentence after a long while, and he didn't even dare to look Gu Qingqiu in the eye when he answered.

Gu Qingqiu patiently repeated the question, "So do you need my help? You just need to answer yes or no. If you need it, I can help you; if not, I'll leave."

“…Yes.” Lozen felt inexplicably wronged, so he repeated himself, this time with a much firmer tone, “I want it.”

Gu Qingqiu's movements were already very skilled. The temperature in the room gradually rose, and Luo Ze'en let out panting sounds, both impatient and enjoying himself.

About forty minutes later, Gu Qingqiu stopped what she was doing, took out two tissues and began to wipe her hands.

Lozen sighed with some relief, but when he saw Gu Qingqiu's calm gaze, all the heat in his body seemed to freeze as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him.

It turned out that Gu Qingqiu was really just "helping him." Even after Gu Qingqiu left again, Luo Ze'en had not recovered from the shock of realizing this fact.

Luo Ze'en had never been so devastated. Although she knew that Gu Qingqiu was a mad scientist and that she was just an experimental subject in her eyes, Luo Ze'en still began to doubt her own charm.

Their relationship seemed to have returned to its initial state of mutual respect, except that Luo Ze'en began to frequently "seek help" from Gu Qingqiu.

After a friendly exchange that lasted for more than an hour, Gu Qingqiu frowned and said, "I don't think it's a good thing to indulge yourself too much. I need to find an opportunity to give you a full physical examination."

Lozene instinctively wanted to object, but for some reason, the word "physical examination" made him think of something, and in the end, he didn't refuse.

A month later, Gu Qingqiu's computer program had reached 85% completion, and there were less than two weeks left before the zombie horde predicted by the male protagonist's system arrived.

Lozen's genes have been utilized to the fullest extent, but at the current pace, the development of a zombie vaccine will still be impossible before the zombie horde arrives, unless... Gu Qingqiu can successfully evade this zombie attack and continue vaccine development with the data.
