What are you whispering about here?
Sister Zhang walked over with a smile, and Xiao Yu subconsciously stood up to block her view.
"I'm a little out of sorts here, let's chat." Lu Sheng used his body to block the bag of feed, and stored the feed into his spatial storage while out of the blind spot.
Sister Zhang smiled knowingly and casually put her arm around Lu Sheng's shoulder. "It's like this when you first start working at the factory. You'll get used to it as you get used to it."
"You're lucky. Mr. Pei heard that some new people had come and was worried that you girls might not be used to the new environment, so he specially set aside time to prepare psychological counseling for you."
Lu Sheng subtly avoided her gaze and replied calmly, "Do we need to prepare anything?"
"No need, no need. You guys have lunch first, and I'll pick you up after your lunch break." Seeing how cooperative Lu Sheng was, Sister Zhang smiled broadly, her face full of wrinkles. "Mr. Pei is a professor at the Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and he's a very nice person."
After offering a few more compliments, Sister Zhang swayed her sturdy body and left.
"What a fucking bastard!" Zhang Xiaojuan couldn't help but curse. "Does he think everyone's an idiot? Only women need tutoring, but men don't?"
"I'll find this bastard this afternoon and give him a good talking-to," Xiao Yu said, his face ashen, as he cracked his knuckles.
Lu Sheng frowned and interrupted their conversation, "No, Mr. Pei's location is too well hidden. We know nothing about him. Rushing over there rashly will only lead to losses."
She had Zhuangzhuang activate his perception skill last night, but according to the information Zhuangzhuang obtained, apart from the zombies, the factory was basically made up of ordinary people without any superpowers or combat abilities.
How could an ordinary person possibly tame zombies, and how could they directly break through technological barriers to significantly reduce the crop growth cycle?
Mr. Pei is either strong enough to completely conceal his aura, or he must have some unknown special ability.
“The three of us will go first this afternoon. I’ll find a chance to tell you our location via walkie-talkie.” Lu Sheng pointed to the mini walkie-talkie on his waist. “After we set off, you follow behind and be ready to provide support at any time.”
...
As soon as lunch break was over, Sister Zhang would peek out from the dormitory entrance, revealing half of her body.
"Lu Sheng, let's hurry up and set off, don't keep Mr. Pei waiting." Sister Zhang waved to Lu Sheng and the other two with a smile.
The three exchanged a glance, quickly got up, and followed.
As soon as one foot stepped across the threshold, several soft, mournful complaints drifted into Lu Sheng's ears.
"Why should they be able to get tutored by Mr. Pei when they just arrived?"
"Mr. Pei is so handsome, I wish I could see him every day."
"Dream on. There are so many people in the factory. You should be grateful if you get a turn even once."
The group followed Sister Zhang all the way to the factory's office building, following the same route Lu Sheng had secretly followed that morning. However, this time Sister Zhang led them directly into a hidden door on the inside of the specimen room.
After passing through a narrow corridor that only allows one person to pass at a time, you'll find a hidden world inside.
The dark room was a luxuriously decorated suite, where three girls were already sitting on the sofa.
Two of the girls weren't wearing work clothes, so they must be new to the factory like Lu Sheng and the others.
"Don't be nervous, have some fruit first, Mr. Pei will be here soon."
Sister Zhang still had that exaggerated smile on her face. She served a plate of sliced watermelon to the six girls, then turned and left.
In the apocalypse, fruit is rarer than gold. Especially now, during this extremely cold period, ordinary people simply cannot afford this juicy fruit.
"It's so sweet..."
The other three girls, disregarding any semblance of modesty, picked up watermelons and started eating them, not caring that the juice splashed onto their clothes.
Lu Sheng's cool eyes were half-lowered, and his right hand was casually placed on his waist.
Click click click.
Lu Sheng's slender, long fingers rhythmically tapped lightly on her waist.
Soon, a knock came from the walkie-talkie on my side as a response.
This was the secret code she and Xu Yi agreed on before they parted ways, using Morse code as a signal to exchange information.
Achoo!
Lu Sheng's nose suddenly itched.
A faint, peculiar scent seeped out from the corner and quickly spread throughout the room.
Lu Sheng sniffed lightly.
It has a unique smell, similar to the smell of a park after the rain, a mixture of earth and moisture.
The three girls who were eating watermelon had increasingly heavy eyelids, swayed a few times, and then leaned against the sofa and fell asleep.
Lu Sheng gave Sun Tiantian and Han Rui a wink, and the three of them, as if possessed by Oscar-winning actresses, also collapsed together in a daze.
Just as all six people collapsed in disarray, the door on the left side of the suite, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened a crack.
Lu Sheng squinted slightly, watching the crack in the door gradually widen.
First, a head with a fat face poked out, and after several seconds, a man who was about 1.65 meters tall finally emerged.
The man was short and stout, with fine, fair skin—the kind of white that never sees the sun.
He sneaked out furtively, pounced on the sofa with a drooling look on his face, and greedily sniffed the arms and legs of the other two new girls.
Lu Sheng felt nauseous at the lewd scene and barely suppressed the urge to hit someone.
When the man lewdly reached out to the only girl in work clothes in the room, she suddenly blushed and hugged his arm.
“Mr. Pei, I’m so happy to see you for the second time this month.”
Lu Sheng: "..."
Is this chubby, pale-skinned guy Mr. Pei?
Where's the handsome male professor I was promised? Can people's aesthetic standards really differ so much?
This lump in front of me, in terms of both shape and appearance, has absolutely nothing to do with being handsome, right?
In a flash, a thought suddenly exploded in Lu Sheng's mind.
The familiar smell of damp earth, the scene that seemed so familiar…
Just as the chubby man's greasy hand was about to touch Lu Sheng's hand, a chill suddenly swept across his lower abdomen.
He instinctively looked down and saw a gleaming Tang sword pressed against his crotch.
The man looked up in alarm, only to be met with the girl's cold and horrified eyes.
"How could you..." the man cried out in terror.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly, advancing his Tang sword one centimeter further. "You used mushroom spores to induce hallucinations?"
She immediately recognized the familiar smell of dampness, and just now she suddenly remembered that the room of her junior classmate who had been parasitized by mushrooms at the Lilac Pavilion was filled with the smell of this new fungus.
Furthermore, the discrepancies in the factory workers' descriptions of Mr. Pei's appearance finally allowed her to piece together these fragmented clues.
Mr. Pei's skill, like the pollen in a sunflower field, can cause hallucinations!
"I've never failed, how could you!"
On Mr. Pei's pale, limp face, his features were contorted in a grimace.
"We're here too."
Sun Tiantian and Han Rui also opened their eyes and stood up.
Just as they realized something was wrong, Lu Sheng gave each of them a bottle of antidote, which perfectly avoided the neurotoxins of the spores.
Mr. Pei’s obese body suddenly shrank, and three huge fungal stalks shot out from behind him, rushing towards Lu Sheng and the other two!
