Chapter 5151
"Are you going to let me be your experimental material?" Wen Jiuze tapped the tablet.
Xue Ling nodded silently, she also guessed so.
But no matter what, as long as Wen Jiuze is still here, it’s good. Zombies can’t feel pain anyway, so whether it’s a needle injection or skin incision, this bastard won’t care at all.
If it really doesn't work...there's still her. She can cooperate.
Surprisingly, Wen Yi denied it.
She said, "I need you to go to a laboratory in Donghai City to get some important equipment and data."
Donghai City was one of the most populous cities before the end of the world. Every inch of land was worth a lot of money. It also had well-known research institutes and biological companies, as well as the best universities in the country.
Wen Yi’s teacher, Rong Lanjia, had taught there before.
But after the end of the world, Donghai City fell at the fastest speed, and less than one twentieth of the population escaped from Donghai City alive.
The survivors blew up the cross-sea bridge while fleeing, and the entire Donghai City became an isolated island. There were no living people in it, only countless zombies.
"I am now working at the Beizheng Base Medical Research Institute with my teacher. I am mainly involved in the zombie virus vaccine." Wen Yi briefly described her situation.
"We are currently lacking a lot of important equipment, which has greatly slowed down our research progress. The base has organized several special operations teams to go deep into high-risk cities to collect what we need for our experiments, but Donghai City is too dangerous, and both operations failed."
"So, your first task is to go to a biological research institute in Donghai City and bring back the target item."
Xue Ling, who had prepared herself mentally to be a test subject, felt relieved after hearing this.
She is very familiar with buying for free.
There is no one better than them to take things from the zombie city.
Wen Jiuze was surprised for only a moment, then he understood.
"Okay." He agreed very straightforwardly.
Xue Ling also nodded.
But the next second, Wen Yi looked at her and said, "For the first operation, you will go to Donghai City alone, and she will stay behind."
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, and Wen Jiuze immediately sat up straight and poked at the tablet in front of him.
"no!"
Wen Yi had anticipated this and said, "It's just in case. What if you take her away and don't cooperate to complete the mission?"
Hiss, this concern makes sense. Xue Ling glanced at Wen Jiuze and thought that he might really do that.
Wen Jiuze: "You don't believe I will be honest and trustworthy?"
Wen Yi: "Of course I don't believe it."
Wen Jiuze still refused to agree: "No, she wants to come with me."
Wen Yi: "You mean, there's nothing to talk about then?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Xue Ling snatched the tablet in front of Wen Jiuze and decisively ended the topic: "Okay, I'll stay and he can go alone."
Wen Yi: "Very good, you are still sensible. By the way, your name is Xue Ling, right? I'm glad you can cooperate. It's settled then."
Wen Jiuze slammed the table and tried to take the tablet from Xue Ling, but Xue Ling didn't give it to him.
Wen Jiuze crossed his arms and turned to face Xue Ling, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face that asked, "Why did you agree to this?"
"Don't worry, I will protect myself and nothing will happen." Xue Ling promised.
Wen Jiuze took the tablet and said, "Do you believe that once I leave, Wen Yi will trick you into the laboratory and let you do experiments with her?"
Xue Ling's eyes widened, and she looked back and forth between the two people. The person is still sitting here, why are you saying bad things to him so loudly in front of him?
"How could that be? She wouldn't do that, right?" Xue Ling asked Wen Yi for confirmation.
Wen Yi: "Of course not."
Xue Ling looked at Wen Jiuze again with a clear expression that said, "Look, she can't say it anymore."
Wen Jiuzhe: "..."
He typed: "Wen Yi is the best liar, cruel and unscrupulous, and has no bottom line even more than me..."
Xue Ling quickly turned off the automatic reading function and replied awkwardly while covering the screen: "Don't say bad things in front of people!"
Wen Yi stood up and said nonchalantly, "You can say bad things about me if you want. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"You can rest for a few days. When we return to Beizheng Base, we will arrange the operation in Donghai City. Both of you will be assigned to the special operations team, so be prepared."
Wen Yi looked very busy and came and went in a hurry.
Wen Jiuze recalled the special operations team at the Beizheng base he had heard about two days ago. He had refused to take part in the assessment at that time, but he did not expect to join it in another way now.
As soon as she left, Xue Ling continued typing on the tablet: "There are a lot of soldiers and weapons outside. We can't refuse even if we agree. Besides, Wen Yi wants our help and won't hurt me."
What’s more important is that I don’t know if the medicine Wen Jiuze took will have any side effects. It seems okay at the moment, but if something goes wrong, Wen Yi may still need to solve it.
It is the most unwise thing to argue with a "doctor".
After Wen Jiuze was unable to speak, his expression seemed even more sarcastic for some reason. Without him saying a word, it felt like he was swearing at someone with his face.
He took Xue Ling's pen and pointed at her: "You don't know Wen Yi. She won't force you to do anything, but she is good at rhetoric. You might be fooled by her and take the initiative to agree to cooperate with her research."
Wen Jiuze has been in the Wen family for so many years, and he hates everyone in that family. However, the only ones who really frightened him when he was young were Wen Yi, besides Old Master Wen.
Although this half-sister who was a few years older than him had never bullied him like Wen Xuan and Wen Xiang, she mostly ignored him.
A few years ago, Master Wen was seriously ill. When Wen Xuan and Wen Xiang were still worried about their master's health and concerned about the distribution of the family property, only Wen Yi, like him, wanted Master Wen to die because she wanted the Tai Sui in his hands.
They were considered to have cooperated at that time, which made Wen Jiuze more wary of her.
Xue Ling had long been accustomed to Wen Jiuze's extra strong desire to protect her after they met again, and she assured him very seriously:
"If that's what you're worried about, then I promise not to cooperate with any of her research."
She believed that Wen Jiuze also understood their situation. If he were asked to cooperate with the experiment, Xue Ling knew he would agree, but if it was her, he would definitely refuse.
Both sides have their concerns, and one side is bound to give in. They are now at a disadvantage, so there is no need to force their way forward.
When working together for the first time, the most important thing is to build a foundation of trust before moving on to the next step.
In fact, Xue Ling felt that Wen Yi and Wen Jiu were a bit similar. They both had the temperament of never compromising.
Wen Jiu was afraid that she would suffer a loss, but Xue Ling thought that she was actually quite capable of getting along with people with this kind of personality.
Wen Jiuze was still unhappy, so Xue Ling didn't talk to him about it again. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "Is Wen Yi an official?"
The people protecting the convoy outside were all soldiers. Xue Ling was a little excited: "Does that mean we are joining the special operations team? Do we count as public servants?"
Wen Jiuzhe: "..."
Now I know why Xue Ling is so confident in Wen Yi. After all, she had thought about taking the civil service exam and getting a job.
Seeing Xue Ling's happiness, Wen Jiuze said nothing more.
Even though Wen Jiuze thought it was safer for zombies to stay away from humans, he knew very well that Xue Ling longed to live among people.
Before, when the topic of what would happen if all the zombies died came up, her first reaction was: That’s great, the apocalypse will be over if the zombies disappear.
She always thinks from a human perspective because she sees herself as a human deep down.
Xue Ling, who turned into a zombie, was very lonely. She was afraid of becoming an alien. At first, she would feel happy when she heard that there were other people like her, even if that "alien" was Wen Xuan, whom she hated.
But now, they are truly the same kind.
At this moment, Wen Jiuze finally gave up the idea of taking Xue Ling away from the crowd.
Wen Yi was right to be suspicious. He had no intention of doing the task honestly just now.
Xue Ling pondered whether he was now considered a public servant, and then remembered something.
She was very careful not to use the tablet, but took out her own writing board and wrote: "Wen Yi said that the Wen family was in trouble. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Wen Jiuze was amused by her guilty look. When he did something bad, Xue Ling felt guilty for him.
"Of course it has nothing to do with me." He answered using his tablet, showing no guilt at all.
No matter who died in the Wen family, it wasn't him who did it, so how could it be related to him?
"You feel guilty so easily, have you never done anything bad?" Wen Jiuze asked.
Xue Ling felt that she was being underestimated: "Of course I have done bad things. How could there be someone in this world who has never done bad things?"
"You have actually done bad things. Tell me about it." Wen Jiuze leaned back in his chair and waited.
Xue Ling hesitated before telling him: "I used to make a wish every birthday for my dad to get cancer soon."
Wen Jiuze was still waiting, and finally realized that she had no more to add, wondering: "That's it?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Xue Ling added another story: "Someone once asked me to help him with his homework, and I deliberately scribbled on his homework, causing him to be scolded."
Wen Jiuze stopped her from thinking about it: "...Okay, no need to say more, I feel sorry for you."
The compassionate eyes and open arms made Xue Ling feel a little mocking.
Xue Ling: “…” Why should I be despised by him just for obeying the law and not doing bad things?
She pushed away the body, which was not as warm as before but still tall and hard, and untied the handcuffs on her hands.
Wen Jiuze moved the handcuffs on his hands and sighed on his tablet: "People only know how to cherish things after they lose them. Now that you won't lose me, your attitude will change drastically."
Xue Ling: "...Why don't you look for your own reasons?"
She felt really sad when Wen Jiuze was about to die. It was true that she wanted to be with him forever, but once he became lively and energetic, he became a little annoying!
.
Wen Yi works and rests in an extended white RV. Usually, when she has nothing to do, no one in the team will disturb her.
But some people just don't have manners. They come uninvited, slam the car door open, and walk into the car with a swagger.
Wen Yi looked back and found that it was Wen Jiuze, who came alone.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yi turned back to continue looking at her own information and asked casually.
Wen Jiuze did not take the tablet, but opened his mouth and uttered a hoarse voice: "After I leave, don't touch her. If you want to study her, wait until I come back and let you study her."
Wen Yi turned around and looked at him, with a look of incomprehension in her eyes: "You have really changed a lot. Now you are so well-behaved and obedient and willing to sacrifice yourself. I almost thought you were not the Wen Jiuze I knew."
In her impression, Wen Jiuze was like a wolf.
When he was brought to the Wen family on the first day, Wen Xiang heard Wen Xuan's instigation and pushed him down from the building.
He fell with a bloody head, but he immediately climbed up with a ferocious expression, wiped the blood from his face and head, rushed upstairs, and pressed the blood on his hands onto Wen Xiang's face, scaring her to scream.
If the servant beside him hadn't stopped him quickly, Wen Xiang would have been almost thrown off the stairs by him.
For several years afterwards, he remained alert and indifferent, and would not change no matter how many times he was scolded.
"You know, you're like a dog now," Wen Yi said.
Wen Jiu pulled the stiff muscles on his face and "smiled", revealing the nasty teeth of a zombie: "Dogs can bite people too."
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and Wen Yi said, "I understand."
After Wen Jiuze left, Wen Yi continued to work, but after a while, there was a knock on the car door.
"Come in." There was a hint of impatience in her expression, and when she turned around she saw an unexpected person.
The one who stuck his head in from outside the car door was Xue Ling.
Compared to Wen Jiuze, she was more polite and asked on the tablet in her hand: "I have something to ask you. Do you have time to talk to me now?"
Wen Yi put down the work in her hands, which was not clear at all, and turned the swivel chair with her foot to face her: "Come in."
