Chapter 187

Ruan Qing wanted to say something more, but the monster next to her suddenly became furious. It opened its mouth wide and shot out its long tongue, which instantly pierced through the young boy's body. Then, it wrapped the boy up and swallowed him whole.

Before the boy could even scream, the monster visibly swelled up after eating him, its muscles growing larger.

"Oh no, the monster is evolving!" Xiao Mingxu said urgently.

As soon as he finished speaking, the monster's tongue shot towards the girl again.

"Watch out!" Qi Xiu swung out his vines, trying to rescue the girl in time. Unfortunately, he misjudged the monster's speed. The evolved monster was faster than he could have imagined. With a flick of its tongue, it snatched the girl away and swallowed her whole.

The monster's body swelled up again, and this terrifying evolution sent chills down one's spine.

"Eating people allows it to evolve. If this continues, who can kill it?" Wang Tao said in despair.

Everyone's faces were serious, and their bodies were tense.

At this critical moment, Ruan Qing suddenly jumped up, grabbed Fang Jianming's arm, turned around and ran out. Rong Rong wanted to chase after her, but Yin Wang hugged her and squatted down, barely dodging the monster's tongue.

Outside the door, Fang Jianming's loud roar came, "No! I'm not leaving! There are still documents! I didn't get the documents!"

But the roar grew fainter and fainter, clearly indicating that Ruan Qing was dragging Fang Jianming away without stopping.

Of course she dared not stop, for stopping might mean being killed by the monster. And now the timing was perfect; with Xiao Mingxu and the others holding off the monster, she could leave with Fang Jianming.

From now on, there's no need to worry about Fang Jianming sideping with the female lead again.

Ruan Qing was in high spirits and gripped Fang Jianming's arm even more tightly. If Fang Jianming hadn't injured his leg, he wouldn't have let her do as she pleased so easily.

In the laboratory, Rong Rong looked at the data in Yin Wang's hand and felt relieved, no longer paying attention to Ruan Qing and Fang Jianming.

She was now certain that Fang Jianming was not the owner of the data. If Fang Jianming could develop a cure for the zombie virus after reading the data, then the biologists in Beijing could too. Rather than giving the data to someone like Fang Jianming, she might as well give it to the country.

Their most important task now is to kill this monster; they absolutely cannot let it escape the research institute and devour people.

"Yin Wang, take Rong Rong out of here, it's dangerous!" Xiao Mingxu kept a close eye on the monster, not daring to relax for a moment.

Only when Rong Rong is in a safe place can they deal with the monster with peace of mind.

"Yes! Get out of here!" Wang Tao shouted after him.

Although the monster has become stronger, the group still has a chance of winning if they work together, provided that Rong Rong isn't there to distract them.

Rong Rong glanced at Xiao Mingxu and then at Ling Xi. Seeing that the two still had energy left, she said nothing and followed Yin Wang out of the laboratory to the hall.

Rong Rong didn't call Yin Wang back to fight. Yin Wang's mental power was shielded, and his superpowers were restricted, so going back would be useless. Although he could forcibly use his mental power, it would also harm him. Rong Rong didn't want Yin Wang to do that unless it was absolutely necessary.

The two stayed in the hall for a while when suddenly several more zombies came running. Rong Rong fired her gun repeatedly, barely managing to stop the zombies, but she was running out of bullets.

"Go to that room!" Rong Rong pointed to the door next to the laboratory, and Yin Wang immediately stepped forward to open the door.

It was a lounge, and there were no zombies or people inside. Rong Rong fired two more shots at the zombies in front of her, then turned and ran into the lounge. Yin Wang slammed the door shut.

At the same time, the zombie slammed violently against the door.

Then came a series of loud bangs as zombies rammed the door. Yin Wang held the door shut, while Rong Rong dragged a table over from the side. Yin Wang quickly took the table and used it to hold the door shut. After that, Yin Wang moved the sofa and chairs and stacked them on the table one by one.

The door was completely sealed shut, but the zombies continued to ram it until, after a while, it finally quieted down behind the door.

Rong Rong sat on the sofa, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and grinned at Yin Wang, a smile that reflected the joy of defeating the zombies.

Her sweet smile was like a spring of clear water in the desert, instantly soothing Yin Wang's somewhat agitated heart.

Rong Rong played with the gun in her hand, in a good mood. She had played with shooting in her previous world, but this was the first time she had used a real gun.

Thinking about how she had just hit Fang Jianming's leg with two quick blows, Rong Rong's lips curled up again. And this was the first time she had ever fought a zombie since coming to this world.

"Great job!" Rong Rong clapped for herself, and her cute appearance made Yin Wang laugh out loud.

The two then sat on the sofa and waited. The soundproofing here was excellent, and Rong Rong couldn't hear the sounds of Xiao Mingxu and the others fighting next door at all.

After a long day of travel, coupled with the intense mental stress of entering the research institute, Rong Rong was exhausted, and the extreme quiet quickly made her drowsy.

As for whether she was actually asleep, Rong Rong wasn't sure; she only knew that she opened her eyes because her face was wet.

It was Yin Wang. He was pecking at Rong Rong's face like a puppy, and Rong Rong was suddenly being held in Yin Wang's arms.

"Yin Wang!" Rong Rong scolded, but because there was no real anger in her words, and her voice was hoarse and soft from just waking up, her scolding sounded more like a coquettish pout.

Yin Wang paused for a moment, then his next kiss landed on Rong Rong's lips.

Then, as if testing the waters, Yin Wang kept teetering on the edge.

At this point, Rong Rong was still unaware that something was wrong.

The main reason is that she and Yin Wang have indeed had similar intimate actions since they met. Moreover, Yin Wang was an innocent boy when he was of sound mind, let alone now that his mind has regressed to that of a primary school student.

Rong Rong trusted Yin Wang completely, and being extremely tired, she gave up and didn't resist, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Rong Rong didn't notice that Yin Wang paused again, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. After that, his movements became much heavier, and his breathing became labored.

It also seemed to have a hint of venting anger.

Those fiery lips finally left Rong Rong's lips, and the next second they went straight to the point.

Rong Rong still didn't react, but soon she suddenly opened her eyes, the drowsiness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by shock, doubt, and vigilance.

"Ugh!" Rong Rong turned her head to try to get away from the other person, and pushed him away forcefully with her hand against his chest.

However, her strength was too weak, and the other person's chest was too hard and broad. Her movements not only failed to move him, but instead made him more unrestrained, holding Rong Rong in his arms even more tightly and kissing her deeper and deeper.

Yin Wang clearly only knew how to give a simple kiss and didn't know how to actually kiss, but the person in front of Rong Rong was actually kissing her.

This person is not Yin Wang!

Rong Rong felt a little panicked. She hardened her heart, pressed the pistol against the other person's chest, and pulled the trigger.

A gunshot rang out.

The smell of blood filled the air instantly. The other person shuddered and finally released Rong Rong. Rong Rong quickly got up from the sofa and looked again, only to meet Ling Xi's cold eyes.
