"How pitiful... This young master must be living out a wish-fulfillment novel script from twenty years ago, getting tortured first and then getting a power boost."
Zhang Xiaojuan muttered something awkwardly as she ate her lamb chop.
Fresh lamb is fragrant and tender; just a touch of salt and chili is all it takes to make it irresistibly delicious. Each strand of lamb has a smooth, silky texture, and every bite bursts with flavor.
A thin layer of fat coats the tender lamb, making every bite fragrant and delicious.
Even the slender bones are infused with flavor; one slurp and you're left wanting more.
Lu Sheng used his points to buy an outdoor projector in the system store in the morning and chose a lighthearted and funny movie to project.
At this moment, a group of friends are munching on spicy lamb chops, paired with a special bayberry and lychee iced drink from the famous Chinese restaurant chain. It feels as if the apocalypse is just a pipe dream, and they are still in the affordable student street behind the school.
Friends and delicious food are still there; they are still naive and innocent poor students, only worried about having to get up early for class tomorrow.
"Mmm, it smells so good! Are you having barbecue? I haven't had lamb in ages!"
A hoarse young male voice pulled everyone back to reality.
Little mouse Zhang Xin, covered in ruffled fur, stumbled over, his little nose frantically circling the fragrant roasted whole lamb, taking several deep sniffs, his eyes brimming with drool.
Although Oasis Group has advanced technology, the meat produced by technology is still different in taste from pure natural beef and mutton.
He hadn't eaten this kind of oily, fragrant, natural mutton since the end of the world, sob sob sob.
"Close your eyes! Or I'll poke your eyes out!"
Upon catching sight of the lecherous rat's round eyes, Han Rui immediately covered her chest and made a poking motion with two fingers of her other hand.
Ever since I found out that this guy has X-ray vision, it's been hard not to be wary of him.
With Han Rui in front and Zhuangzhuang behind, the newly awakened little mouse didn't dare to cause any trouble and obediently covered its eyes and squatted in place.
In the end, Xu Yi made him a small eye mask with medical dressings, and Zhang Xin was finally able to get to the table for a meal.
After taking a big bite of lamb leg, he was so moved that he almost kowtowed to Lu Sheng on the spot.
"How did Su Zheng end up like this? Didn't you guys go back to K3 base?"
"Where is Wu Hainan? Did he go back to Yunshan by himself?"
"Where are Ma Dongmei and the others? Why aren't they with you?"
Sun Tiantian and the others sat in a circle around Zhang Xin, bombarding him with a barrage of questions.
Having been through so much with Ma Dongmei and the others, they were practically friends. Seeing Su Zheng's miserable state, Sun Tiantian and the others couldn't help but feel worried for Ma Dongmei and the others.
Zhang Xin took a big bite of lamb leg meat, his mouth greasy, and said, "Not long after we parted ways, Wu Hainan set off on his own to return to the Yunshan base."
"I fell asleep on the way to the K3 base and had no idea what happened. When I woke up, I saw Su Zheng lying on the ground covered in blood."
"I had to rouse him several times before I could wake him up. He was blind and asked me to help him hang his pack on his body. Then we ended up here."
The expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat subtle as they listened to Zhang Xin's account.
"Why do you always disconnect at crucial moments... It was like this when we were at Oasis Group, and now you're saying you're fast asleep. You always perfectly miss important information?" Zhang Xiaojuan stared suspiciously at the suspicious mouse and snatched the small piece of lamb chop from its hand.
Ever since her fan filter was shattered, Zhang Xiaojuan has become more wary of mice than others.
Han Rui, unusually, agreed with Zhang Xiaojuan: "Yeah, once or twice is a coincidence, but how come it's always such a coincidence? Confess and you'll be treated leniently; if you resist, you'll be given rat poison."
Zhang Xin: "..."
There aren't even any medicines available for human consumption on the market right now, so how come they have rat poison...?
"I really fell into a deep sleep!" it tried to remove its eye mask to explain, but Zhuangzhuang slapped it solidly into a pancake with one paw.
Zhuangzhuang's sweet, shrill voice sounded like a death knell to Zhang Xin, scaring him so much that he confessed everything on the spot.
"I... I just accidentally glanced at Sister Dongmei changing clothes, and then Lin Xiaobao knocked me unconscious..."
Lu Sheng and the others: "..."
That certainly sounds like something a perverted rat would do.
"There's one more thing. You said you accidentally angered the Oasis boss, which is why you were thrown into a human brain transplant experiment. But you've never even met Jiang Shuguang. How did you offend him?"
Sun Tiantian took a skewer of grilled fish tofu, ate it all, and then used the iron skewer to press against the little mouse's furry neck.
"Emm... I once drank too much and accidentally drank the cell culture medium from the lab, thinking it was orange juice with pulp..."
The little mouse, its body tense, scratched its head somewhat embarrassedly and said...
The people present reacted for a moment.
Thinking of all those copy-and-paste versions of Jiang Qichen at the Oasis R&D Center, and the cell culture medium in the lab... it must be Jiang Qichen's body cells...
No wonder Jiang Shuguang ripped out his brains in a fit of anger.
There wasn't a single useful piece of information out of Zhang Xin. After eating and drinking his fill, this guy shamelessly stuck to Lu Sheng and wouldn't leave.
Adhering to the principle that one more illegal worker means one more point, Lu Sheng reluctantly accepted him and even specially designated an area in the base to build a small sweatshop.
They threw in a bunch of iron lumps they'd brought out of the oasis, along with the little mice.
"Get all these robots working properly within a month."
"This is a serious warning from the unscrupulous foreman, Lu Sheng."
The little mouse, trembling in the corner, immediately got to work without stopping.
...
Su Zheng's injuries were severe, and he remained unconscious for three whole days.
