Dr. Liu paused for a moment, then nodded: "Don't overthink it. I'm a scientist, not a psychopathic killer like in the movies. I won't do anything to your child, but you have to promise that she'll cooperate with me."

Jiang Tian spent the whole morning communicating with Mengmeng, while Han Li threatened her that if she didn't come to the lab, he would immediately throw her out and hide her away.

For children who are attached to their mothers, one trick is enough.

Mengmeng promised Jiang Tian that she would come back, and if she couldn't find her mother when she returned, then her departure would have been meaningless.

She hated Han Li even more now.

However, under the absolute overwhelming force of the opponent, Mengmeng could only reluctantly be led by Jiang Tian to Dr. Liu's side.

When Dr. Liu is interested in a project, he's so dedicated that he almost forgets to sleep.

He saw that Jiang Tian and Han Li were still standing there, and he immediately became unhappy: "The leader has superpowers. He can sense everything I do. You should leave the laboratory first."

Jiang Tian shook her head: "I want to stay here with her."

Dr. Liu was even more displeased: "Didn't I already say that I wouldn't hurt her?"

Jiang Tian stopped talking, sat to the side with her eyes closed to rest, her attitude very resolute.

Han Li smoothed things over, saying, "She won't get in your way."

Finally, he used his invisibility ability to surround both Jiang Tian and himself.

Even knowing that the leader possessed countless superpowers, Dr. Liu would still occasionally feel a pang of envy.

This person is practically invincible in the apocalypse.

It turned out he had a weakness stemming from psychological trauma, but Jiang Tian made up for it.

How come he always seems to encounter such good fortune?

After making a few remarks, Dr. Liu focused all his attention on his project.

After Mengmeng became a zombie, her vision was greatly weakened. As long as she could smell Jiang Tian's scent, she would obediently cooperate with the experiments.

Jiang Tian stayed there with him for several days. Seeing that she couldn't take it anymore, Han Li ignored her resistance, left her with a piece of clothing that still carried her scent, and took her back.

Mengmeng won't be able to come out anytime soon, and Jiang Tian won't be able to see her no matter how long she waits.

Back at Jiang Tian's house, there were only the two of them, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Han Li was practically counting down the one-month deadline on his fingers.

But Jiang Tian had recently lost her temper with him.

He wasn't very good at romantic relationships and always thought that being good to her was enough, but he didn't expect that he would make her angry over a single disagreement.

The two of them seem to be getting along peacefully lately, but they are actually feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Finally having a private moment together, Han Li looked at Jiang Tian and asked, "Are you still unhappy?"

Jiang Tian was taken aback, then quickly shook her head: "No."

"You haven't been as gentle with me lately as you used to be."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li regretted it a little, as if he were complaining to her.

In fact, he was indeed complaining to her.

Jiang Tian was gentle and kind to everyone, including him.

Especially since their relationship had made substantial progress, although Jiang Tian was afraid of his fierceness at night, she still admired and appreciated him greatly in their daily interactions.

But now, because he attacked her daughter in a moment of desperation, Jiang Tian has become distant from him.

Han Li lowered his head and said gently, "I acted impulsively last time, but I promise I won't harm Mengmeng. Don't hide from me anymore. If I've done anything wrong, tell me. In this apocalyptic world, time is so precious, and I don't want to waste our time."

He spoke quite sincerely, but Jiang Tian remained silent.

Han Li was truly at a loss.

He didn't dare say a harsh word to a woman like Jiang Tian. Except for a certain time when he enjoyed seeing her cry, he didn't need to.

Just as his mind was racing, trying to break the silence, Jiang Tian took two steps toward him, and to his astonishment, hugged him tightly and leaned into his arms.
