Chapter 351 Elopement
Jiang Liyue hadn't noticed Chu Li's subtle boasting at first.
Because she was playing on her phone in Chu Li's private lab.
It wasn't until she looked up twice and found he wasn't in the lab that Jiang Liyue belatedly realized something was wrong.
She put her phone away and went out to look for someone. Just then, she saw Chu Li saying to Zhang Pei with a blank expression, "She worked so hard to kill zombies to earn credits, and she insisted on buying me clothes."
Zhang Pei opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally said dryly, "Then Miss Jiang really likes you, Dr. Chu."
"Hmm." Chu Li's lips curled up slightly, as if he had shown off enough, before pointing out a few errors in his experiments.
Zhang Pei was so grateful that he suddenly no longer felt there was anything wrong with Chu Bo's boasting.
After all, if Chu Li hadn't pointed out these experimental errors, he would have wasted at least half a month of his time.
Well, it's fine to show off a little more often.
Chu Li seemed to have achieved his goal, ignoring Zhang Pei and turning to return to his laboratory, where he met Jiang Liyue's ambiguous smile.
"Let me check his experimental error." Chu Li explained as he approached Jiang Liyue, took her hand, and led her back to his private laboratory.
Jiang Liyue looked at him with a smile and said, "Oh."
Chu Li: ...
Jiang Liyue shook his hand with a grin: "Honey, next time I'll earn credits to buy you new clothes. You can wear a different outfit every day, no, three outfits a day."
Chu Li: "...No need."
He saw through Jiang Liyue's deliberate teasing and reached out to pat her head, quickly changing the subject: "I'll do the experiment first."
Jiang Liyue returned to her usual sofa. This time, instead of playing on her phone, she leaned on the armrest and watched her boyfriend with great interest.
Hmm, the boyfriend in this instance is also very cute.
What a cold and ruthless mad scientist! He's clearly a secretly charming and adorable guy.
In the days that followed, Jiang Liyue would still occasionally go out on missions with Han Wei and the others.
It may not be the same zombie-clearing mission as last time, but the only thing that's the same is that you have to go and return on the same day.
Once, they were delayed by a small horde of zombies and didn't get back to the safe zone until the early hours of the morning. At that time, Chu Li's face was terribly dark, as if he would destroy the entire safe zone if he was a minute later.
Of course, after Jiang Liyue took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and said in a coquettish tone that she was so tired, his expression instantly softened. He coaxed her to go home without even glancing at the other people in the car.
Han Wei and the others: Luckily, we didn't watch it.
Otherwise they might really die!!
In fact, Jiang Liyue rarely goes out on missions. After all, her boyfriend suffers from separation anxiety, and she only goes out to kill zombies to relieve stress when she's bored.
Most of the time, she acted as a dutiful little accessory, accompanying Chu Li to work in the lab.
Chu Li's work wasn't entirely without progress, otherwise the higher-ups in the safe zone wouldn't have praised him so highly.
He alone developed a drug that could prevent people from turning into zombies after being captured by them.
Of course, the potion has limitations; it can only be used within six hours of being captured, and the ingredients for the potion are also very rare.
Jiang Liyue felt that Chu Li was definitely doing it on purpose.
With his abilities, he could have easily created a more perfect potion, but he chose not to.
Even so, the safe zone was still greatly affected by this drug.
Keep in mind that while other researchers might not even have figured out what the zombie virus is yet, he had already invented the blocking agent.
Is this even human?
Fortunately, they didn't know that the zombie virus itself was created by Chu Li.
The drug caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released.
Chu Li did not keep the formula for himself, but instead contributed it to the upper echelons of the safe zone free of charge. The credits he earned for his contribution were already more than he could ever use.
Everyone says that Chu Li seems indifferent, but he is actually a very good person.
Only Jiang Liyue felt it wasn't that simple.
Sure enough, the potion caused a great sensation after it was created. This precious potion could not be given away for free, and many people fought over it, causing unrest among the human population.
This is clearly Chu Li's perverse taste; it's not enough to see humans turn into zombies, he also wants to see the ugly faces between people.
"You're such a bad thing." After learning that even inside the safe zone, there had been several minor disturbances due to the appearance of the drug, Jiang Liyue opened her mouth and bit Chu Li's chin.
Chu Li hugged her, encouragingly supporting the back of her head, as if wanting her to bite harder.
He now knew Jiang Liyue well enough to know that she wouldn't be afraid just because he wasn't a good person, so he whispered instead, "Yes, I'm a bad thing, and Yueyue—"
“He was my accomplice.”
Accomplices meant they were one, and Chu Li liked that term.
Jiang Liyue took two bites, then, finding it uninteresting, let go and proudly raised her chin: "I'm the only one who's your accomplice."
“That’s right.” Chu Li put his arm around her with one hand. Despite being the frail scientist he was supposed to be, who knew how strong his arm was?
He pulled her onto the bed with one arm and whispered in her ear, "Miss Accomplice, now is our time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Liyue kissed him.
He was born evil, and she was his perfect accomplice.
They were a match made in heaven.
Chu Li regained her memories a few days later in the game.
Having already developed the drug, he no longer stayed in the laboratory.
Moreover, although this copy of himself has his own memories, it is the character design of this copy that makes him like to study it. The real, original, and complete him has no interest in studying it.
The safe zone became increasingly chaotic as the instance progressed.
It seems that people have become more fearful due to the increasing number of zombies and the decreasing food supply.
Thus, violence, robbery, and disorder gradually emerged.
In the dungeon world, things will only get worse, not better.
Jiang Liyue knew that this was entirely a test for the players from the dungeon. Otherwise, if players could rest easy after entering the safe zone and simply wait for the thirty days to complete the task, it would be far too easy.
Only when players think they've seen hope do they end up facing even greater despair.
That's in line with the perverse tastes of bizarre games.
Jiang Liyue didn't want to get involved in any of this, so when she realized that the safe zone would become even more chaotic, she left with Chu Li.
Or, to put it more romantically, it should be called eloping.
