After being paraded through the streets, Gu Mobai and Qin Xiaoru were sent to the Municipal Research Institute.
"Take a look at these two pieces of junk, see if they're any good? If they're not, just kill them and get rid of them."
Secretary Li was thoroughly disgusted by the two men's stench; it was worse than excrement.
The people at the research institute were also extremely disgusted. These two monsters didn't look very smart; what research value could they possibly have? If they had research value, why would they be discarded?
However, since they are different species, further research is still necessary.
And so, the two were completely confined to the research institute, receiving only one meal a day, having their blood drawn constantly, and having their flesh cut off from time to time.
Of course, the municipal government was much more humane than Li Boqing. They used anesthesia when cutting the flesh, and they even bandaged it up afterward.
But these two are monsters, so it's impossible for them to be treated like humans. They were kept in a cage, where they ate, drank, relieved themselves, and slept in a space of less than five square meters. Over time, the cage became filthy and smelly.
Qin Xiaoru was already injured, and in the past few days she has been tormented to the point that she developed a high fever.
While she was unconscious, strange images flashed through her mind.
The scene shows her and her brother Mo Bai enjoying a resort, and she even has a private space. They are living a good life in the apocalypse.
Suddenly, she woke up from her dream, her eyes flashing with even more hatred.
Qin Su stole her space; Qin Su stole her and Mo Bai's luck.
Everything Qin Su has now originally belonged to them.
"Brother Mo Bai, we've all been harmed by Qin Su."
She threw herself onto the dying Gu Mobai, as if she wanted to cry out all the injustices she had suffered.
Gu Mobai lifted his eyelids slightly; he had no strength left and felt his life slipping away bit by bit.
Seeing Qin Xiaoru crying so sadly, he thought of the time before the apocalypse. Back then, in his eyes, Qin Xiaoru was like a fairy, kind, gentle, and lovely.
He was dying, and Qin Xiaoru was the only one by his side, the only one crying for him.
"Xiaoru, you must live on and avenge me."
Gu Mobai also guessed that Qin Su was behind it. That woman was vindictive and would definitely use the people of Wancheng to kill them after seeing them.
"No, Brother Mo Bai, you won't die. I will definitely save you."
Qin Xiaoru gritted her teeth and shouted towards the outside of the cage.
"I'm looking for Qin Su. Tell Qin Su that if she doesn't come, I'll reveal her secret."
Since it involved Qin Su, everyone in the municipal government became alert, and Secretary Li immediately came to Qin Su to explain the situation.
"That woman said you stole her jade pendant or something," Secretary Li said.
Qin Su narrowed her eyes. A jade pendant? It seems Qin Xiaoru has remembered her past life.
But so what if she remembers? Who would believe what she says?
"It's the apocalypse, what use is a jade pendant? I think she's delusional and wants me to save her."
Secretary Li was furious when Qin Su said that.
"A leopard can't change its spots. How dare someone like this meet Miss Qin? I'll go tell them to get rid of this filthy rubbish."
In this freezing weather, he's going to have to freeze again. Those two monsters deserve to die.
Upon returning to the municipal government, Secretary Li's first action was to have the two men dealt with.
However, because the two smelled so bad, no one was willing to do anything. Seeing that they were almost dead, they simply threw the cage outside. Anyway, in the freezing cold, they would freeze to death soon.
Qin Xiaoru never expected that Qin Su wouldn't come.
Those idiots in the city not only ignored her, but also threw her out.
They're trying to freeze them to death!
She rubbed her hands together, feeling the heat dissipate from her body and her blood barely flowing.
She looked at Gu Mobai again; his condition was even worse, his deathly pale face now beginning to freeze.
Qin Xiaoru was so frightened that she reached out to check his breath and felt that he still had a faint breath. She hugged him and shouted.
"Brother Mo Bai, don't sleep, wake up!"
Qin Xiaoru was genuinely anxious; if Gu Mobai died, she would truly be all alone.
"Brother Mo Bai, believe me. As long as we get through this, we will definitely be able to return to our old life. Brother Mo Bai, the resort is ours, and the space is ours too. We must go back and take all of this back from Qin Su."
Perhaps the pie was too big, because Gu Mobai was hit and slowly woke up.
"What space?"
In fact, Gu Mobai had been wondering how Qin Su managed to empty the West City warehouse.
Upon hearing the word "space," a lot of thoughts immediately came to mind.
"It's the jade pendant that Qin Su snatched from me. That jade pendant can open up a space. It's because Qin Su used this space that she was able to live so well in the apocalypse."
Qin Xiaoru recounted the dream again, and couldn't help but wail.
She dared not shed tears, for in this extreme cold, tears would freeze into ice upon falling and ruin her face.
"So, all of this really did belong to us?"
Gu Mobai suddenly felt a surge of strength. Yes, he couldn't die; he should go and take back everything that belonged to him.
"Xiaoru, let's pry open this cage together."
Perhaps seeing a glimmer of hope, the two of them exerted unprecedented strength. With their two tails working together, they actually managed to pry open the cage a little.
The two men scrambled out of the cage in a disheveled state and then threw the cage into a deserted wilderness.
"Let's go back to Xicheng first."
They have leverage over Qin Su, and the West City Lord will surely take them back.
The two dragged their heavily injured bodies back to West City. Gu Mobai found one of his former subordinates and asked him to take the message to the West City Lord.
Soon, the city lord of the west city summoned them.
Qin Xiaoru reiterated the story of Qin Su having a spatial dimension, but instead of saying that she dreamed about it, she said that she saw it with her own eyes.
"Lord of the city, as long as we seize that jade pendant, the space will be ours!"
Qin Xiaoru was ambitious, and only she knew how to use the jade pendant; in the end, the jade pendant would still belong to her.
The city lord of the west city was filled with greed as he thought of the space that could hold his storeroom.
"Very good, you two have done a great job this time, and I will reward you well."
"You should recover from your injuries first. Once you're healed, go to Wancheng and take back that space."
...
In Wancheng, Qin Su stayed home every day doing research. Xie Erxun's 400cc of blood was like discovering a new world for her.
Based on Xie Erxun's blood, she made many special medicines.
Pills that quickly restore vitality, ointments that rapidly heal wounds, and even remedies that can bring the dead back to life...
"If you don't have enough blood, just take it. I'm always ready, don't hesitate to ask."
Xie Erxun sat to the side, gnawing on a pig's trotter, eating with great relish.
Qin Su couldn't bear to watch; this guy had been eating for 20 out of the 24 hours since he woke up.
"You have enough blood, but if you continue eating like this, soon even this door won't be able to accommodate you."
Qin Su pointed helplessly at the gate.
This guy digests food quickly, but he also gains weight. Look at him, he's gotten noticeably fatter in just a few days.
Xie Erxun was stunned: "Have I really gained that much weight?"
He hurriedly squeezed in front of the mirror to check, and when he saw his double chin, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Ugh, I need to lose weight! If I don't, my teacher won't recognize me anymore."
