Upon receiving the signal, Lin Zhenzhen immediately and obediently withdrew her hand, staring nervously at Ryota Oshima ahead.

He had already turned around, seemingly exposing his entire back to her.

Unexpectedly, the back of his head, which should have been covered with hair, was now bald, replaced by a half-drooping eye.

Lin Zhenzhen thought she was seeing things and was about to take a closer look.

The eyes, with their several folds, suddenly widened, revealing a tiny gray pupil inside.

The whites of the eyes were mostly white, with little iris, and the eyes were covered with dense blood vessels, resembling a scene from a Japanese horror movie I used to watch.

Lin Zhenzhen was completely numb. What kind of old monster was this?

His eyes remained fixed on Lin Zhenzhen until Ryota Oshima left the room and locked the door.

Once she was sure the others had gone far away, Lin Zhenzhen turned around and looked at Gu Bosheng on the hospital bed.

She bent down and softly called out "General".

A pair of large hands wrapped around her waist, and then forcefully pulled her towards him.

Lin Zhenzhen's entire body pressed down on Gu Bosheng.

"General...?"

Lin Zhenzhen raised her chin and looked at the person in front of her.

His eyes were still closed, and his breathing was even and deep, as if he were fast asleep.

But the hand around her waist was gripping her so tightly, as if it wanted to tear a piece of her flesh off.

Lin Zhenzhen muttered softly, "General, let go, it hurts."

Gu Bosheng finally loosened his grip a little, but still maintained the posture of holding her in his arms. So forceful, so unyielding.

Lin Zhenzhen chuckled lightly: "What's wrong? I'm not going to run away."

"That bald guy will be back soon, how long are you going to hold me like this?"

Gu Bosheng, who was beneath him, slowly opened his eyes.

The golden pupils hidden beneath long eyelashes are like an inextinguishable torch, deep and dazzling.

Gu Bosheng remained silent, his eyes filled with complex emotions she couldn't decipher.

Lin Zhenzhen felt as if her lungs were suddenly blocked. She arched her body like a shrimp and coughed incessantly.

As she coughed, Lin Zhenzhen realized something was wrong.

She covered her mouth and struggled to get off Gu Bosheng, but he grabbed her arm.

"Cough cough, stop fooling around, I, um..."

Gu Bosheng's lips pressed against mine.

This probably doesn't count as a kiss, but rather like eating.

The other person became ruthless, pressing hard against her lips and tongue, completely erasing the bloody taste from her mouth.

Lin Zhenzhen tilted her chin up, in a completely passive posture.

She felt uncomfortable and frowned, trying to turn her head away.

Gu Bosheng sensed her intention and moved his large hand from her waist to the back of her head, pressing her even closer to him.

Lin Zhenzhen knew that Gu Bosheng was not yet fully awake, or rather, his zombie-like instincts had awakened, but his humanity was still dormant.

She hardened her heart and struck him hard in his vital spot.

As expected, Gu Bosheng immediately released her and gasped.

It seems that no matter how powerful a male is, he will still have to back down when faced with an absolute weakness.

Lin Zhenzhen looked at his face, which was flushed from the pain, and whispered, "I'm sorry, it was all because of the emergency."

Gu Bosheng paused for a moment, staring at her for a long time, as if he still hadn't quite reacted.

"It's okay." His voice was a little hoarse.

[Ding! Heart-stealing progress bar +10, current progress 86.5/100, reason for increased affection: His little fox came to rescue him.]

Gu Bosheng's mood visibly brightened.

His handsome eyes swept lightly across Lin Zhenzhen's face, and when they moved to the small crack on her lower lip, he opened his mouth in surprise.

"It seems that I'm the one who should apologize."

Gu Bosheng was as gentle as ever, if it weren't for the dark green markings on his face and his shimmering heterochromatic pupils.

Lin Zhenzhen had no idea that Gu Bosheng was now a complete zombie.

"Let's put that aside for now. Did you hear the whole conversation we just had?"

Gu Bosheng said gently, "More or less, I was awakened by the smell of your blood."

His eyes darted around; to him, her scent was like poppy, forbidden, a deadly poison.

If he hadn't regained his senses in time, he might have really lost control and dismembered her on the spot.

Lin Zhenzhen bent down, cupped his face in her hands, and said earnestly.

"Did you hear that clearly this time? These people don't care whether you live or die. In their hearts, you are just a petri dish, experimental data, not a living person."

Gu Bosheng's eyes crinkled into a smile, and he said with a hint of indulgence, "Yes, you're right."

"So, come with me. Once we're out, talk to Sheng and we'll draw a line in the sand. You'll each take one side of the hill and be your own king. Let's fight these old bastards to the end."

Gu Bosheng looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, but he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhenzhen felt a lump in her throat, and crystal tears streamed down her face.

Drop by drop, they all landed on Gu Bosheng's face.

His pupils constricted sharply as he reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but his hand was slapped away.

Lin Zhenzhen sobbed and cursed him, "Gu Bosheng, you bastard."

“If you really die, I won’t hesitate for a second and will immediately get together with Gu Zhongsheng.”

Gu Bosheng's lips turned pale instantly.

His eyelids twitched, his eyelashes drooped, completely concealing the emotions in his pupils.

"Yes, that's good too. Zhong Sheng is a reliable place to stay."

Lin Zhenzhen straightened up and looked at Gu Bosheng in disbelief.

She gritted her teeth and nodded, saying as she walked out, "Fine, looks like I was the one who was foolish enough to rush over here to save you."

"Lingzhen." Gu Bosheng was about to say something when hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor.
