Zhuang Li, who was standing on the freighter, immediately noticed Bei Ming's abnormality.
He didn't think much of it, just thinking there was something wrong with Bei Ming's heart, so he quickly ran off the boat, rushed to the man's side, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Is your heart not feeling well?"
Bei Ming was startled, and quickly adjusted his facial expression, nodding his head. "Just now, for a short while, I felt a sharp pain in my heart."
"Come with me on board for a physical examination." Zhuang Li pointed to the freighter.
The zombies in the port have been cleared out by the people brought by Bei Ming. Everyone is now moving large boxes under the ship. The boxes are filled with seeds of various plants.
With these seeds, food production in the Pure Land Base is guaranteed.
Bei Ming had mixed feelings about Dr. Zhuang Li. On the one hand, he was deeply resistant to his identity and doubted his motive for saving him. On the other hand, when he gently grasped his wrist and pulled him onto the freighter, his legs uncontrollably followed.
His soul seemed to be split in two. One half said that this person was dangerous and that you should stay away from him or even get rid of him; the other half sighed gratefully: But he gave you a second life, how could you hurt him?
Bei Ming's mind was in complete chaos. The hand Dr. Zhuang was holding was growing slightly hot, while the hand he wasn't holding was clenching into a fist, then slowly loosening, repeatedly struggling between attacking and not attacking.
Before he could figure out what to do, the infirmary arrived.
Zhuang Li took out a stethoscope and ordered, "Take off your clothes."
Bei Ming took off his clothes subconsciously.
Seeing his muscular body full of strength and beauty, 7480 complained, "Master, you're abusing your power for personal gain! You don't even need to take off your clothes to listen to the heartbeats. You want to see the flesh of the gods, right? You're such a jerk!"
Zhuang Li solemnly picked up the stethoscope and placed it against Bei Ming's chest, chuckling softly in his heart: "I love this body."
Bei Ming: “…”
All the struggles, vigilance and fear in his heart were shattered by these words that were obviously teasing.
Dr. Zhuang Li's psychology was completely out of sync with those of the taskers. Why didn't he plan to kill himself in exchange for points? He brought himself aboard not to attack, but to trick himself into taking off his clothes?
Isn't this style of painting wrong?
Dr. Zhuang Li's system was also very strange. The voice it spoke in was not cold and heartless at all, but rather gentle and playful, like a naughty child.
This one-man team is different from all the taskers Bei Ming has ever seen.
In a daze, the cold stethoscope touched his skin, causing Bei Ming's chest muscles to tremble unconsciously.
The next moment, he felt Dr. Zhuang Li's gaze, directed at his chest, clearly blazing with heat. While the other party appeared calm on the surface, his conversation with the system had crossed a certain line.
"This body is truly world-class!" Zhuang Li sighed. "I want to replace the stethoscope with my palm and truly experience the feeling of strong muscles pulsating in my hand."
7480 instigated, "Pretend your hand slips, drop the stethoscope, and quickly feel it. It's okay, he won't doubt you."
Bei Ming: “…”
He didn't want to show any abnormality, but his ears burned red uncontrollably.
The next moment, he heard Dr. Zhuang Li sigh: "He's shy. It's just a physical examination, but his ears turned red. How cute, I want to--"
"Fuck!" 7480 quick interface.
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "I am the only one who has this idea. You can't have it. He is mine."
Bei Ming: “…”
Even if he became a superman, he couldn't control the steaming and surging of his blood. How could this Dr. Zhuang Li...
At this moment, he had completely forgotten about enemies, positions, and killing. His face flushed with shame, and his heart, which had ached slightly just a moment ago, was now beating rapidly.
"Your heart is beating too fast." Zhuang Li put down the stethoscope and looked worried.
He hadn't yet realized his mind had been read. His experience in the previous world had led him to believe that his communication with 7480 was unobservable. And in his confusion, he didn't delve into Bei Ming's every expression.
He frowned and said, "Lie down. I'll do an electrocardiogram for you. I'll take you for an X-ray later."
Bei Ming could see that this man was really worried about him, so he lay down obediently, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed.
He was sure that Dr. Zhuang was not dangerous at the moment.
Zhuang Li operated the machine carefully.
Looking at his exceptionally handsome profile, Bei Ming fell into a state of tranquility. In this moment, he forgot the chaos and dangers of the apocalypse and felt only peace.
He suddenly remembered the question that had troubled him for a long time, so he asked in a low voice, "Dr. Zhuang, what gene did you fuse for me?"
Zhuang Li was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly and said, "This is my scientific research secret, I can't tell you."
Bei Ming was very disappointed. He really wanted to know where such a powerful force came from.
7480 complained: "Why didn't you tell him that you fused the mantis shrimp's genes into him?"
Bei Ming in disappointment: "!!!"
Mantis shrimp? Did he hear it wrong? It must be!
However, the next second, Zhuang Li confirmed this statement: "I can't tell him, otherwise he'll feel inferior. He just needs to know that he's powerful. As for what species this powerful power comes from, it doesn't matter."
7480 started to flatter her: "Master, you are so considerate! You really know how to take care of the feelings of the gods."
Bei Ming: “…”
Thank you so much, Dr. Zhuang!
Bei Ming closed his eyes, suddenly feeling exhausted. Mantis shrimp? Impossible, Dr. Zhuang must be lying. Oh no, I actually feel a little inferior.
Bei Ming opened his eyes, wiped his face helplessly, and then raised the corners of his lips in a smile. He had completely forgotten to be on guard against the person in front of him.
Somehow, he found Dr. Zhuang and his system very cute. Before this, he couldn't imagine himself using the word "cute" to describe a tasker.
After the physical examination, Zhuang Li looked at the data and breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, you've recovered well."
Only then did Bei Ming bend down and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome." Zhuang Li waved his hand and smiled faintly.
7480 shouted, "You saved my life, why don't you repay me with your body?"
Bei Ming: “…”
Zhuang Li said confidently, "Don't worry, he will agree sooner or later."
Bei Ming: “…”
That feeling of helplessness and wanting to laugh returned, and my ears couldn't help but burn a little red. Was Dr. Zhuang kidding? Something about pledge of love, wanting to have sex, the body I loved most...
Bei Ming shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of these blushing and heart-pounding words from his mind.
Other taskers wanted his own life, but Dr. Zhuang Li seemed to want...
Bei Ming blocked his thoughts in time, and then silently warned himself not to let his guard down.
Taskers are taskers; they cannot coexist with this world. And as a part of this world, I am a natural enemy of the taskers. Bei Ming had already come to this realization before, but now, when he realized that Dr. Zhuang was also a tasker, this realization suddenly became a heavy burden.
After the physical examination, Zhuang Li and Bei Ming got off the cargo ship and came to the dock.
The seeds had already been loaded onto trucks and were being transported away by the troops. Zhuang Li, escorted by dozens of elite soldiers, would travel to the capital of Province S and fly back to City B.
To ensure his safety, a shortest return route was planned.
"Zhuang Li!" Ye Huai stood in the team and waved excitedly.
Zhuang Li nodded at him, then glanced at the other soldiers.
"You little idiot, do you think there are any task takers here?" he asked in a cold tone.
"I don't know. The task system won't tell us the answer unless we see it ourselves." 7480 was also observing these people one by one.
"Then I'll give it a try." Zhuang Li handed a freezer box to Bei Ming and said in a low voice, "Be careful, there's an anti-zombie virus vaccine stored in here."
Bei Ming immediately hugged the box tightly, and his body immediately entered a state of attack and defense at any time and anywhere.
Ye Huai exclaimed in surprise: "Zhuang Li, you really made a vaccine? You are amazing!"
Zhuang Li smiled but didn't reply. Inwardly, he calmly said, "The square-faced man, the round-faced girl, the man cleaning his gun, the young man who looked very similar to the square-faced man, and the tall, thin man standing next to him—these five must be the taskers."
Bei Ming was very surprised in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
He accurately guessed the identities of the five taskers with just a glance. This Dr. Zhuang is indeed no simple person!
7480 asked curiously, "How did you figure it out?"
"When I told them the box contained vaccines, everyone was surprised. Only these five people showed strong resistance through their micro-expressions and movements. It was obvious that they didn't want the apocalypse to end. Besides the missionaries, the only people who want to plunge the world into eternal darkness and are dedicated to creating this darkness are probably twisted murderers."
Zhuang Li smiled coldly and said casually, "Both types of people deserve to die."
Bei Ming could no longer conceal his inner surprise and quickly glanced at Dr. Zhuang.
The inner voice cannot lie, and therefore, Dr. Zhuang's words were enough to make his position clear. He hoped that the world would soon emerge from darkness and usher in light. He was a tasker, yet he seemed different from all other taskers.
He is a human being with flesh and blood and emotions.
Bei Ming's mental wall, which he had been building up, involuntarily collapsed. But he quickly warned himself not to be easily deceived by this person. After all, he was the missionary.
Although he could see through this person at a glance, Bei Ming's thoughts became even more confused. He didn't realize that this was precisely the care he felt in his heart. If he didn't care, he wouldn't have such distress at all.
Of course, this did not prevent him from realizing that, up to this point, Dr. Zhuang and he were on the same page. They both wanted to kill the tasker.
At this moment, five lines of text appeared in Zhuang Li's vision, hanging above the heads of the five people he pointed out.
7480 clapped his hands vigorously. "Master, you guessed it all! It's these five! Kill them quickly!"
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "Right away."
Bei Ming secretly shook his head, feeling both amused and sad at the two men's reckless personalities.
If these five people were killed by Dr. Zhuang without any reason, everyone would be dissatisfied with him, and there would be protests and even rebellions along the way. By then, whether everyone could return to City B safely would become a problem.
So Bei Ming decided to stop Dr. Zhuang.
After all, this person is still too young and not cautious enough in his actions.
Bei Ming wiped his face, completely unaware of how helpless and indulgent his expression was.
He began to pay close attention to Dr. Zhuang's every move, and right under his nose, this man shook hands with all the team members gently and politely, and said a few words of thanks after finishing.
Everyone asked him about the vaccine, and he patiently answered them. He also said that the vaccine is currently only in the early trial stage and it will take some time before it is actually released.
When everyone sighed in disappointment, he suddenly pointed at King and said sternly, "Have you been infected with the zombie virus?"
Everyone looked towards King, only to see his blood vessels rising to the surface one by one, twisting and turning like earthworms, and gradually turning from blue to black. This was the early sign of infection with the zombie virus.
However, it is well known that people with special abilities cannot be infected by viruses.
7480 was horrified: "Master, you just shook hands with a zombie! Are you poisoned?"
Zhuang Li said calmly, "Don't worry, I was the one who poisoned him, not him. He didn't turn into a zombie, it's just that a toxin seeped into his blood. He'll be fine if he drinks more water and urinates more."
After saying this, he raised his chin towards Bei Ming and ordered, "He's infected, kill him!"
This reason is really legitimate!
The five cancers that had troubled Bei Ming all along the way were easily killed after just one encounter with Dr. Zhuang.
At this moment, Bei Ming thought of a common saying: Evil will be punished by evil.
