"Too slow, three to five years, by then the zombies will have evolved into who knows what they'll be like."
"We can only take it one step at a time, since the sequence of the zombie virus is very strange and can change at any time."
"Close your eyes," Jiang Qingwan said softly.
Ye Qi didn't understand, but he did as instructed.
Ye Qi felt a pair of gentle, delicate hands covering his own. Then, his nostrils were filled with a vibrant, life-giving scent.
Ye Qi suppressed her curiosity, her long eyelashes fluttering violently, and asked, "Can I open my eyes now?"
"Can."
Ye Qi slowly opened his eyes. Even though he had seen many grand scenes, he was used to the ruins of the apocalypse.
Upon first seeing the blue sky and white clouds, with farms and pastures in the distance, a surge of emotions welled up within me.
Aside from the initial shock, an endless warmth welled up in his heart.
In the end times, possessing a treasure is a crime.
Jiang Qingwan was willing to bring him to a place like this, which required a great deal of trust.
Ye Qi's lips unconsciously curled up, the smile spreading from the corners of his mouth to the depths of his eyes, his joy overflowing.
Seeing Jiang Qingwan looking down at her feet, seemingly unsure how to explain, Ye Qi took the initiative to speak:
"Qingwan, I'm so glad you brought me here. This must be a spatial dimension, right?"
Jiang Qingwan raised her head, her eyes showing a hint of unease, but more so a firmness. "Yes, my space seems to be a little different from others'."
"Hmm... the flow of time here is a bit faster than outside. If you conduct research here, you should be able to significantly shorten the time."
Ye Qi's gaze remained warm throughout, conveying a signal to Jiang Qingwan.
Jiang Qingwan gradually relaxed, her tone becoming more animated and her speech quickening considerably, "I've never brought an outsider here before. You're the first. I trust you won't tell anyone, right?"
"Of course." Ye Qi watched as Jiang Qingwan acted just like a cat, sharing the new gadgets she had found with her owner while pretending not to care much, looking adorably proud.
Jiang Qingwan looked at Ye Qi's tall and straight figure, his face stunningly beautiful. The gentle smile softened her aggression, and she was almost bewitched by him. "Let me make this clear from the start: if you tell anyone, I will absolutely not let you off the hook."
"Don't worry. I, Ye Qi, swear here today that if I reveal even the slightest bit of information about this place, may I die on the spot and go to hell after death."
“Hey—” Jiang Qingwan tried to stop Ye Qi from making an oath, but Ye Qi had already finished speaking.
That's settled then.
Actually, she trusted Ye Qi a lot.
If he keeps his word, then a solemn oath is nothing but empty words.
"I'll build you a lab right here," Jiang Qingwan said, changing the subject.
“Okay. I was wondering if this little cabin could withstand the experiment. Since you can rebuild it, that’s great.”
"My Qingwan, you are truly amazing."
Jiang Qingwan blushed instantly, and her words became stammered: "Ah, so-so. You are also very capable. We are all in the same team, we share the same fate, one for the honor, the other for the disgrace."
Ye Qi suppressed the urge to stroke Jiang Qingwan's head and turned his gaze to the open space next to the wooden house. "It's right next to the wooden house."
"Can."
As soon as Jiang Qingwan finished speaking, the same building as the one where Ye Qi was located rose up from the ground.
"That's it?!" Ye Qi's worldview was once again completely shattered.
"A one-to-one replica. Including the experimental equipment inside." Jiang Qingwan's fingers caught the gray talisman ash that was seeping out, which disappeared before it even hit the ground.
She used a copying talisman to replicate a laboratory building where Ye Qi was located.
Ye Qi looked at the two buildings, one tall and one short, then turned to Jiang Qingwan, his eyes filled with stars, "Qingwan, how many more surprises can you give me?"
"Don't make a fuss. You're really making a fuss. I'm embarrassed. It's just luck, all luck."
Jiang Qingwan didn't know what was wrong with Ye Qi today; she was always talking strangely. Or was she just acting strangely today?
Ye Qi's words didn't sound like normal praise; there was always a feeling that he was subtly flirting with her.
If this continues, she might really lose control.
In her previous life, she was disgusted by some men and women in the apocalypse.
One packet of instant noodles is enough to keep you awake all night.
She believes that in the apocalypse, there are no normal romantic relationships, only the most basic needs; where are the spiritual needs?
She lived in the apocalypse and never believed in love.
Never mind, Ye Qi didn't say it directly, so I'll just pretend I didn't see it.
Ye Qi is intelligent and good-looking, so let him be.
Jiang Qingwan accompanied Ye Qi on a walk around the replicated experimental building.
It really is exactly the same as the one at the base.
They even brought in paper data.
Except for the absence of living things, all the objects in the laboratory are here.
Ye Qi's scientific spirit was instantly ignited. He took out a small bag of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed a few bites.
After exchanging a few words with Jiang Qingwan, he went into the laboratory to begin his research.
Jiang Qingwan closed the laboratory door and instantly arrived at the foot of the Void Sword Tomb.
Unlike the blue sky and white clouds near the wooden house, the air here is filled with a chilling sword aura, and even the sky above is shrouded in mist.
"Oh, you brought that man in." As soon as Jiang Qingwan arrived, Jin Yaojian sensed a familiar presence.
It is currently unable to leave its post, and before the Void Sword Tomb is restored, it will need to suppress the swords inside every now and then.
Keep them in line and don't be so violent, lest they destroy other parts of the space.
"You've finally come to keep me company. I'm such a pitiful sword."
"Other swords are for quick revenge, one slash and one kill. But now I'm stuck here as a doorman, sob sob, so boring."
Jin Yaojian complained incessantly.
"Just bear with it. After all, you are the leader of the swords, and only the strongest sword has the right to be called that! Don't you think that makes sense?"
Jiang Qingwan started CPU Jin Yaojian again.
Jin Yaojian was still easily swayed by this, and started laughing foolishly again: "That's right, hahaha. Only a sword as powerful as mine can suppress it, I'm too powerful."
Jiang Qingwan chimed in, "That's right! You're the most powerful sword!"
Jiang Qingwan suddenly felt someone knocking on her door.
"The most powerful sword, thank you for your hard work. I'm going out for a bit."
The person knocking on the door was indeed an acquaintance.
It is Kangxi Yang.
"You guys can handle things so quickly in a meeting?" Jiang Qingwan was somewhat surprised.
Kang Xiyang smiled wryly, "How could it be so fast? After you leave, without you as a female warrior, they're bound to rebel."
"It's just lucky that there were more of us and that you disabled their abilities, otherwise someone else would be bringing my head to you."
"Then what brings you here..." Jiang Qingwan asked, puzzled.
"Something more urgent has happened. Big news."
Kang Xiyang took out a box that gleamed with a metallic sheen. It was sealed tightly, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.
