Upon hearing this, the superhuman gritted his teeth and intensified his counterattack.
The zombies were driven back once, but then charged forward with even greater ferocity.
When the third superhuman collapsed, severely injured.
The zombie horde finally receded.
Jiang Mo turned to look at Chu Xinxin, who was intently helping the fallen superhuman.
"Professor Chu, thank you." The superhuman struggled to his feet and thanked her, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Chu Xinxin's face showed no joy: "You should hate me, the zombie horde is..."
"Xin Xin, are you tired? Take a rest for a while." Jiang Mo came over and interrupted her.
Chu Xinxin was forcibly dragged away by Jiang Mo.
"Are you crazy to say such things?" Jiang Mo's face was full of anger.
Chu Xinxin was already under 24-hour surveillance. If she were to add the ability to control a large number of zombies to her list, who knows what insane things the city lord might do.
"Feel sorry."
Chu Xinxin lowered her head, and it was unclear to whom she was saying "I'm sorry."
Chu Xinxin leaned against the car door, looking somewhat dejected.
She had righteously declared that Jiang Mo should not use zombies against humanity, but in the end, she was the one who used the "privileges" given by the system to harm innocent people.
Jiang Mo calmed down and advised, "If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding. You targeted Jack, and they protected him. You have nothing to apologize for..."
"Um......"
"Alright, you should rest now."
Jiang Mo pushed Chu Xinxin back into the car, letting her have some peace and quiet by herself.
......
For the remainder of their journey, they did not encounter any more zombie hordes.
Back at Base S, Jack's wedding with Chu Xinxin was postponed because he was injured and unconscious.
"Lord, the lieutenant general and I are incompatible; forcing us to be together will only backfire..."
Despite the city lord's somewhat annoyed gaze, Chu Xinxin remained unfazed: "Let's find someone else."
“Professor Chu, your marriage to Jack was a decision made by the base’s higher-ups, and I have no authority to change it…” The city lord changed the subject, “but if Professor Chu can persuade Professor Jiang to replace you, I would be willing to help.”
The city lord's gaze was sharp and penetrating, as if he could see through everything: "I remember Professor Jiang's superpower is earth element, right? Coincidentally, one of the reasons Jack has been in a coma is that the soil pressure caused internal organ and skull bleeding, compressing his nerves..."
[This old man, besides threatening Jiang Mo, don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve?]
"The system asked."
Ignoring the system's complaints, Chu Xinxin directly asked the city lord, "Why must I marry Jack?"
"Professor Chu, the base raised you, and we hope you can settle down here."
Chu Xinxin scoffed: "It's the apocalypse already, do you still want to follow the old ways of marrying and obeying your husbands?"
"Unless Professor Chu has a better solution..."
At this point, the city lord's expression changed, and he smiled.
Under the protection of powerful superhumans in the city lord's mansion, he sat behind a large desk, completely unconcerned about Chu Xinxin's sharp, knife-like gaze.
“Then the city lord must keep a close eye on Jack…” Chu Xinxin said slowly, word by word, “If he doesn’t live to see the day he wakes up, you must call me for the funeral.”
He'll be fine soon...
After Chu Xinxin left, the city lord's smile faded, and a trace of the anger he had been suppressing finally surfaced.
“Father…” A figure emerged from behind a pillar and said to the city lord, “I like Professor Chu. If you must find someone to monitor her, can I do it instead?”
The city lord looked at his youngest son, and after a long while, shook his head: "Wei Yan, you are not suitable..."
......
Chu Xinxin returned to the research institute with a dark face. Director Wu originally wanted to discuss something with her.
Seeing her like this, he didn't dare to breathe and hid to the side.
Chu Xinxin went straight back to her dormitory and slammed the door shut with a loud bang, shaking the entire research institute building.
Si Beiting almost collapsed to his knees: "Baby, you're not targeting me, are you?"
Chu Xinxin turned around and saw Si Beiting standing behind her, looking at her cautiously.
The person suddenly appeared, and Chu Xinxin momentarily forgot what she was supposed to do.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Si Beiting immediately stepped forward and pressed her hands down: "It's a deal, if I make you angry, you can't hit someone in the face."
Si Beiting had heard that Jack's face was still swollen when he was carried back to the city.
Chu Xinxin's face immediately darkened: "Who are you? Let me go!"
"I won't let go! Anyone who lets go of something they've already got is a fool." Si Beiting argued vehemently, "I just gave you a chance to avoid it, and if you didn't, that means you agreed."
Chu Xinxin laughed angrily: "I'll promise you a damn thing!"
"Can I choose a golden hammer?"
"you!"
Chu Xin wanted to kick him, but Si Beiting took the opportunity to lift her up by her legs and put her on the desk next to him.
"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!" Si Beiting looked at Chu Xinxin with a smile in his eyes, his eyes sparkling. Chu Xinxin's anger vanished instantly.
Si Beiting noticed every change in her, and immediately put his arm around her, gently stroking her back as if he were coaxing a child.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. I'm back, and no one can bully you anymore."
Chu Xinxin lifted her head from his embrace: "So what if I come back? Am I going to drink my wedding wine?"
“Ah, right, right, right…” Si Beiting said, going along with her.
Chu Xinxin's brows furrowed.
Si Beiting: "Let's drink our nuptial wine."
Chu Xinxin turned her face away: "Shameless."
"What do I need a face for? Of course I need a wife."
Si Beiting sat down next to Chu Xinxin: "Don't worry, wife, Lieutenant General Jack shouldn't be waking up."
He said "should," but his tone was very certain.
Chu Xinxin asked, "What did you do?"
"It was just a nerve-wracking little gift given to Lieutenant General Jack, nothing to brag about."
Si Beiting twirled a lock of Chu Xinxin's long hair in his hand, his tone nonchalant, but his cold green eyes held a chilling depth.
Chu Xinxin couldn't see it, so she pulled her hair back and said, "I'll believe you for now. If he wakes up, you can marry him yourself!"
Si Beiting readily agreed: "No problem!"
