Jiang Zheyu now hears Shan Xun asking her why she contacted him.
Actually, I'm almost reluctant to answer.
However, out of politeness, she still spoke up: "I've finished purifying the orcs in that laboratory, so I want to purify another laboratory, but the orcs in that laboratory said they can only go in after you give your permission."
Dan Xun paused slightly upon hearing this answer, not expecting that this was the reason he had come to see him.
He even had other thoughts in his mind; he had indeed been overthinking things.
Or is he expecting something?
"I've arranged a laboratory for you, which means you only need to purify one laboratory today," Shan Xun explained slowly. "Just purify one laboratory each day; there's no need to be greedy."
Jiang Zheyu paused. She clearly had more mental energy to purify more orcs in the laboratory, so was the other party worried that she was using too much mental energy?
She twitched her lips slightly, but still spoke up: "Didn't I tell you? My mental strength is very high, purifying a few more laboratories is no problem."
"Yes, I know." Shan Xun held an ice pack to the red and swollen area on the back of Jiang Zheyu's head. "But I'll just have you purify one laboratory every day."
He didn't want her to be purified so quickly.
If it's happening so quickly, it means she's leaving.
Although the female had said she wanted to carry out a mission to wipe out the Zerg on a planet, it was clearly very tiring and mentally taxing. Even if the female was willing, the people on it probably wouldn't want her to work so hard.
Jiang Zheyu didn't think of it that way, assuming that the other party was worried that he was expending too much mental energy.
However, if we purify one lab a day, it will probably take another week to purify it.
We can't connect to the StarNet now, and we can't contact His Highness using the personal computer, so let's leave it at that.
"Alright then," Jiang Zheyu replied softly.
"If you need to find me in the future, just have the orcs come to me directly. There's no need for you to come in person," Shan Xun said slowly, looking down at her.
"Okay," Jiang Zheyu agreed.
So the two of them stopped talking.
The surroundings became quiet.
Shan Xun kept applying an ice pack to her head, his arm as still as an iron rod.
So the ice pack remained pressed against the back of Jiang Zheyu's head without moving, and the cool air kept seeping in.
Shouldn't you gently rub your hands when applying a cold compress?
It's really quite cold being in the cold like this for so long.
After a short while, Jiang Zheyu couldn't help but speak up: "I'll apply it myself."
The main reason was that she felt it wasn't good to keep her head so cold; she should gently move the ice pack and rub her swollen head.
She didn't want to ask anyone to do that, so she reached out to take the ice pack.
However, her hand was grabbed by Shan Xun halfway through its reach.
"I'll help you," Shan Xun said quietly.
Jiang Zheyu: ...
She didn't even want to say that he was someone who couldn't take care of people at all.
So she stopped pointing it out and wanted to take care of herself.
This person wanted to help her, but couldn't truly connect with her emotionally.
"If you're going to help me, you can't just keep holding that ice pack and freezing me like that." Jiang Zheyu frowned slightly. "You should gently move that ice pack a little and rub it a bit more."
Dan Xun paused for a moment, then finally moved slightly, not on the red and swollen spot on Jiang Zheyu's head where the ice pack had been pressed, and asked, "Is this how it is?"
Jiang Zheyu noticed that his movements were very restrained and gentle. She paused for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes, that's right."
So the two of them stopped talking.
The air seemed to quiet down, but it didn't feel awkward.
Jiang Zheyu noticed that he was still shirtless, with his smooth, defined abs right in front of her. His wheat-yellow muscles were hard and seemed full of power, and the sweat that hadn't completely dried was slowly running down the smooth, deep lines of his abs.
Her eyes flickered slightly; she was still a little embarrassed that he had seen so clearly.
"Um, would you like to wear something?" Jiang Zheyu asked quietly.
"No need, I'm not cold." Shan Xun always spoke very frankly.
"Oh," Jiang Zheyu simply offered a suggestion.
After the cold compress was finished, Shan Xun took her back to her accommodation. He looked at her and said, "Get some rest."
"Mm." Jiang Zheyu nodded.
However, it was still early, the quantum computer couldn't connect to the internet, and there was no need to purify the orcs.
This feels so boring!
"System, play the movie." Jiang Zheyu remembered that the system also had a movie playback function.
system:?
"Huh, what kind of movie?" the system paused before speaking. "This system is a censored system, it doesn't play movies."
"Who told you to play that kind of film? I told you to play cartoons." Jiang Zheyu said after a moment of silence.
She needs to watch cartoons to heal her mood!
"Oh, I'm sorry." The system quickly apologized and then selected cartoons for Jiang Zheyu to watch.
So Jiang Zheyu spent the rest of the day watching cartoons.
Today is another day without water and electricity.
Jiang Zheyu also tried sleeping without taking a shower for a day.
Indeed, once you've tried it, there's nothing you can't accept.
A new day.
Jiang Zheyu thought today would be another peaceful and beautiful day.
A loud cannon shot jolted her awake from her dream.
No, what happened today?
Jiang Zheyu quickly poked his head out of the window and looked outside, and saw the sky filled with mechs and various military airships.
They're not insectoids, but... space pirates.
Jiang Zheyu could only think of this type of person.
But only one day has passed, and that space pirate was driven away, but he's back so quickly?
However, this time the scale is even larger than the last time, and it's not insects, it's directly armed forces.
The already dim sky was further obscured by the dense array of airships and mechs, making it appear as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city.
A massive barrage of artillery fire rained down from the sky, and the research institute's base immediately erected a defensive shield, blocking all the streaking laser cannons.
However, the artillery fire was exceptionally fierce, constantly pounding against the rising defensive shield, causing the entire shield to tremble violently, and even the ground of the entire research base to shake along with it.
Jiang Zheyu felt unsteady on his feet even while standing.
The attack power this time is significantly different from the attack power last time.
They are probably not the same space pirates.
Dan Xun immediately rallied everyone in the Second Legion to charge forward and fight.
The sky suddenly became chaotic as various high-tech shells collided and rose into huge plumes of smoke.
