Chapter 158 Qin Hongling Sets Off
"Han Shuo, can you ask Xiao Zhao to come with me? I'm a little nervous."
Li Shurou was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice.
"Hmm? Okay, no problem."
Han Shuo was a little confused, but he didn't think much of it.
He had told everyone before that the genetic modification process was not dangerous; it would just be over in the blink of an eye.
However, this feeling is indeed somewhat similar to going on the operating table.
Li Shurou was a little nervous and wanted someone to be with her, which was understandable.
Normally, the person accompanying him would be Fatty, but since Fatty isn't here, Xiao Zhao has to go instead.
Soon, Li Shurou took Xiao Zhao out.
After the two left, Han Shuo sat in the living room and thought about it for a while. In the end, he decided to go to Qingyu's place.
He also knew that Xiao Zhao was Qing Yu's most prized subordinate.
Now that he has joined my team, Qingyu must have some instructions for me.
"After all, I kidnapped someone else's person."
Han Shuo truly respected this man from the bottom of his heart.
"Wait a minute, I didn't kidnap it on my own initiative."
"Xiao Zhao came here voluntarily, so I guess that means... my personal charm is higher than Brother Qingyu's?"
"Hahaha!"
As Han Shuo thought to himself, a strange sense of confidence welled up within him.
This is similar to how most men, when they look in the mirror after waking up, will secretly praise themselves: "So handsome!"
Not long after, Han Shuo found Qing Yu.
As usual, the two met at the training ground.
Han Shuo was getting beaten up while listening to Qing Yu's incessant nagging.
Throughout the conversation, every word Qingyu uttered revealed her concern for Xiao Zhao.
This is a message between the former captain and the new captain.
Han Shuo could only force a smile and nod repeatedly in response: Yes, yes, yes, okay, okay...
He felt that Qingyu had used more force today, and the beating he received was especially painful.
...
On the other side, the genetic modification department.
Li Shurou lay on the bed, with Xiao Zhao standing quietly beside her, watching over her.
"Kid, relax, are you ready?"
Dr. Lin, holding a tiny syringe, asked kindly.
Li Shurou smiled and nodded.
"Dr. Lin, please begin."
"good."
After Dr. Lin finished speaking, he pinched the syringe and inserted the needle.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and stuck the syringe into Xiao Zhao's arm, who was standing next to him, and then quickly injected the liquid inside.
Xiao Zhao: ? ? ?
Xiao Zhao froze on the spot, completely bewildered and not knowing what had happened. He looked down at the syringe in his arm, then at Dr. Lin, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Doctor, doctor, you've made a mistake!"
Dr. Lin smiled kindly and said, "You didn't make a mistake, child."
Then, the drug took effect, and Xiao Zhao's vision went black; he fainted.
Li Shurou had already gotten out of bed and stood up, helping the unconscious Xiao Zhao and gently placing him on the bed.
He then turned around and bowed deeply to Dr. Lin.
"Dr. Lin, thank you for your help."
Dr. Lin sighed and said softly.
"Child, I've taken care of this for you, but why didn't you keep such a good thing for yourself?"
It turned out that Li Shurou had already secretly discussed with Dr. Lin, asking him to inject the purified turbid liquid into Xiao Zhao.
Li Shurou tricked Xiao Zhao into coming here not because she was nervous and needed someone to accompany her, but because she wanted to give Xiao Zhao the opportunity for genetic modification.
“Dr. Lin, I have the least combat experience in the team. Making Xiao Zhao a genetically modified human would bring the greatest improvement to the team as a whole.”
Through such a long period of contact, Dr. Lin has learned some things about what's going on in Li Shurou's team.
It was only after today's incident that Dr. Lin realized the deep bond between them.
This is truly rare under the current circumstances.
Dr. Lin couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, you four little ones, you really have a good relationship."
...
Ten minutes later, Xiao Zhao followed Li Shurou toward their residence, still half asleep.
Looking at Li Shurou's back in front of him, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
I felt a mix of joy and apology.
"I took a nap and woke up as a genetically modified human?"
"Happiness came too suddenly."
"However, this is clearly an opportunity for Sister Shurou to be transformed."
"I shouldn't have come along. If I had gone out with Fatty this morning, this wouldn't have happened."
...
Xiao Zhao felt increasingly embarrassed the more he thought about it.
And so, without realizing it, the two returned to their residence.
Han Shuo and Fatty had just returned and were chatting on the sofa.
"Oh? You two are back? How is Shurou feeling now that she's become a genetically modified human?"
Han Shuo looked up and asked with a smile.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao walked over from behind, looking somewhat unhappy and apologetic.
"Brother Han, Sister Shurou had Dr. Lin inject me with the syringe, so I took up this spot for gene modification."
Has Xiao Zhao become a genetically modified human?
The two people on the sofa were stunned for a couple of seconds before they realized what was happening.
The fat man gave Li Shurou a thumbs up.
Han Shuo then got up and walked directly to Xiao Zhao, smiling and comforting him.
"Xiao Zhao, it's okay. Since Shu Rou has voluntarily given you this opportunity, you can rest assured and don't feel embarrassed."
"But..." Xiao Zhao still looked worried.
"There are no buts. We're a team, and your becoming a genetically engineered human will definitely boost the team's performance."
"Moreover, we still have three drops of turbid liquid left. If we obtain one more drop, Shurou can still become a genetically modified human."
"However, when we encounter zombies outside, you must protect Shurou when Fatty and I are in the lead."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhao felt a little better and quickly responded earnestly.
"Brother Han, don't worry, I will protect Sister Shurou even if it kills me."
After the three of them took turns comforting him for a while, Xiao Zhao stopped thinking about it.
He did know one thing: one shouldn't be too pretentious.
Now that I am more capable, the best way to repay everyone is to make good use of my abilities.
...
Before they knew it, two days had passed. If the fat man's news was true, then today would be the day Qin Hongling went out.
All four became alert and prepared their equipment and weapons in advance.
Early in the morning, the fat man continued to keep an eye on Qin Hongling, afraid of missing the moment she left.
Han Shuo offered a few words of comfort to Xiao Zhao, noticing that Xiao Zhao seemed a bit nervous today.
"Xiao Zhao, don't worry, Qin Hongling will definitely not escape our eyes."
"Yes, Brother Han, I'm fine," Xiao Zhao said with a determined look in his eyes.
The three of them then sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Fatty's message.
After an unknown amount of time, the fat man's anxious shouts came through the communicator in the three people's ears.
"Quickly, Qin Hongling and the others have come out of the free people's residence. Judging from their appearance, they should be leaving soon."
Han Shuo's expression changed, and he reacted quickly.
"Quick, grab your weapons, let's go!"
