"Brother Lei, what do you think of her?"
Tang Xiaoting pointed to Xiuxiu behind her, who had a silly look on her face, and asked.
"Well... to be honest, I'm not too sure either. For now, I can only regard her as a human who has awakened superpowers."
This was the first time Ye Lei had encountered such a situation, and he truly didn't know how to explain it.
"Oh, okay, let's go in then."
"OK."
The two walked towards the Mercedes SUV, with Xiuxiu following closely behind Ye Lei, which made Ye Lei smile.
He himself didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
When they arrived at the villa building where Tang Xiaoting lived (building number 17), Ye Lei asked Xiuxiu to wait in the car. Just in case, he gave Xiuxiu two crystal cores and repeatedly told her to eat them slowly, otherwise they would be gone. Xiuxiu obediently nodded.
Upon entering the villa, Tang Xiaoting found it covered in dust from days of neglect. Every step she took sent clouds of dust flying. She quickly closed the windows, thinking that she might return to live there after the apocalypse ended.
"Dr. Tang, do you need my help?"
Ye Lei asked.
"No need, just wait a moment, I'll be done soon."
Tang Xiaoting knew that Ye Lei had a bad temper and didn't have the habit of waiting for others.
"Okay, please make yourself at home."
Ye Lei found a stool, blew off the dust, and just as he sat down, his phone rang.
He took out a Huawei smartphone and saw that it was Cha Murong calling.
"Little Chili, what's up?"
Ye Lei pressed the answer button and asked.
"Brother Lei, where are you?"
"Tang Xiaoting and I were at her villa."
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
Cha Murong called out anxiously.
"What's wrong? Has someone attacked the shelter?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lei immediately stood up.
"No, the shelter is safe, it's my dad who's in trouble!"
Ye Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened to your father? Wasn't he collecting crystal cores for the army?"
“I don’t know. He just called me and said he really wants to see you, the sooner the better.”
Cha Murong's voice was extremely anxious.
Didn't he say what it was about?
"No, he sounded weak and listless, and I felt the situation was serious. He said he's waiting for you in his car outside the company and hopes you'll come over as soon as possible!"
That's all?
"That's all, Brother Lei, please, please save my dad!"
The usually stubborn Little Chili was now sobbing uncontrollably.
"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll be right there and call you back later."
"Thank you, Brother Lei."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaoting came out of the room, carrying a large leather suitcase. Did she not like wearing any of the high-end clothes in the shelter?
"Brother Lei, I heard you talking. Who are you talking to on the phone?"
"Cha Murong."
"What happened? Has something happened at the shelter again?"
"No, she said her father wanted to see me as soon as possible, and he seemed very anxious."
"Chairman Zha Zhijun of Desheng Generator?"
"right."
"Shall we go over now?"
Tang Xiaoting asked, "She's very smart."
"Hmm, I'll go check it out. Hopefully, nothing serious has happened."
Since Ye Lei chose not to kill him back then, he will do his best to protect his safety.
"Then let's go."
After Tang Xiaoting finished speaking, she carried the large suitcase with some difficulty.
"Here, give it to me!"
"No need, I can carry it!"
"If you keep moving at this slow pace, it might be too late by the time we get to Desheng Generator!"
"Oh, okay!"
Tang Xiaoting, unwilling to miss the precious opportunity to rescue Cha Zhijun because of her own actions, handed the box to Ye Lei.
Ye Lei quickly walked out of the villa with the suitcase and put it in the trunk.
After the two got into the car, the Mercedes-Benz SUV sped towards the Desheng Generator.
Along the way, Ye Lei suddenly realized that in the past, when he rescued the families of those goddesses, the system would give him a mission with generous rewards. So what about this time?
He focused his attention and opened the system task interface. Unfortunately, there was no task to rescue people, but there was a task to explore. He clicked to view the task details.
Investigation Mission: Determine the function and purpose of the X Secret Laboratory as quickly as possible with minimal cost, and understand its internal structure. Mission difficulty: 5 stars. Reward: 10 points.
Is this related to rescuing Cha Zhijun? Anyway, this is something Ye Lei has always wanted to do, so he accepted the mission without hesitation.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of Desheng Generator. Ye Lei saw a luxury car parked on the side of the road emitting exhaust fumes. Without a doubt, Cha Zhijun was inside.
He told Tang Xiaoting and Xiuxiu to wait in the car while he got out and walked toward Cha Zhijun's car. Before that, he wanted to find out what was going on.
"Bang bang bang..." Ye Lei knocked on the car window, and soon the door opened, and Ye Lei sat in the passenger seat.
"Uncle Cha, what happened? Murong called me and said you want to see me."
"Ye...Lei, save...save me!"
Cha Zhijun's speech was already mumbled and hesitant. What was going on? Ye Lei glanced at him casually, but that one glance terrified him.
Cha Zhijun's face was ashen, pale as paper, with veins exposed and clearly visible, as if they were about to burst through his skin. His pupils were also abnormally dilated, shockingly large. Even more terrifying was that his teeth had become sharp and pointed, like wolf fangs.
Isn't this a zombie?
"What... what exactly happened?"
Ye Lei was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Ye... Lei, don't be afraid, I... am not... a zombie yet."
"What exactly happened? Tell me!"
"Wait a minute!"
Cha Zhijun grabbed a syringe from the side; it was filled with a crystal-clear liquid.
Without hesitation, he aimed the needle at his wrist and plunged it in like a warrior. The clear liquid flowed slowly into his body like a gentle stream.
Instantly, his face turned rosy like spring flowers in bloom, his previously dilated pupils shrank rapidly like a startled bird, and even his sharp teeth retracted, returning him to a normal appearance.
"this……"
Ye Lei looked at everything that was happening in front of him in disbelief.
"Ye Lei, what I just injected was a drug to prevent me from turning into a zombie."
Cha Zhijun's speech became fluent again, and he was just like a normal person.
"You mean you were bitten by a zombie and have been relying on this medicine to survive?"
"Yes, you're right, I was indeed bitten by a zombie. If it weren't for this medicine, I would have become a zombie long ago!"
Ah! There's such a medicine? This is the first time Ye Lei has ever heard of it.
"Uncle Cha, could you explain in more detail?"
"Of course you can. I asked you to come here to tell you these things, which started shortly after the apocalypse began."
Cha Zhijun took a breath and fell into deep reminiscence...
