Holy crap, hearing this news makes me feel like I've eaten shit.
The system was disgusting, let alone Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin immediately retorted to Jack, "I remember you're already married."
“My spouse died in a pioneering expedition, and I have been single for some time.”
Jack's lips curled into a sinister smirk: "Professor Chu can rest assured."
[Damn, this city lord always does disgusting things.]
Jack: "The wedding is set for next month, Professor Chu, you'd better not run around during this time... Of course, you can go wherever you want, I'll protect you anyway."
【vomit......】
If the system had a physical form, it would probably really vomit.
The news of Jack and Chu Xinxin's engagement was spread through the Base Daily.
Everyone was shocked. Even if Si Beiting wasn't good, he was still better than that mad dog Jack.
Of course, anyone with a bit of sense would know that the city lord was trying to use Chu Xinxin to salvage the city lord's mansion's already dwindling reputation.
Especially after Chu Xinxin visited the city lord's mansion several times without changing the city lord's mind, everyone became even more certain about the matter.
"Let's go, let's go now!" Jiang Mo said, offering to help Chu Xinxin disguise herself, "to find David at Base C."
Chu Xinxin glanced at her indifferently: "From here to the city gate, wherever I go, there are guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. Can I fly out?"
"I don't know how to do that, but I can help you find a superhuman who can fly."
"Forget it, you might as well just kill that mad dog for me."
Jiang Mo hesitated for a moment: "It's not impossible..."
Without further ado, since it wasn't convenient to act from the base, Jiang Mo suggested, "Why don't you say you want to go to District 11 to pay respects to your deceased husband, lure that mad dog out, and then we'll kill him in front of the general's grave!"
Chu Xinxin thought the suggestion was excellent, and the two of them unanimously approved it.
The problem is, the city lord doesn't agree to let Chu Xinxin leave the base!
[Threaten him! We'll fight to the death if necessary!]
The system, acting as a strategist, gave Chu Xinxin an idea.
"Using your life to force me?"
Chu Xinxin always felt it was unreliable.
Sister, don't you believe me?
The system coaxed gently: "Here's what you'll do: you take this knife, and if the city lord doesn't agree to your demands, you'll be killed on the spot!"
Chu Xinxin's forehead creased with annoyance: "How come I remember we were supposed to kill a dog, not a person?"
[Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we have a complete solution: poisoning, drugging, and framing. That mad dog is doomed!]
The system used what it had learned in the previous world to give Chu Xinxin a crash course in "palace intrigue".
Chu Xinxin benefited greatly from this experience, and that very night she took a knife and went in to threaten the city lord.
“It’s not that I don’t want to get married, but if you won’t even let me see Si Beiting one last time, then I will have no choice but to go with him.”
The city lord was somewhat skeptical of Chu Xinxin's seemingly passionate love.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Professor Chu, the general is no longer here. Even if you went and found him, things probably wouldn't be the same..."
"I need to see him alive or dead. In short, are you going to give it to me or not?"
Chu Xinxin was truly brave. She had only agreed to do the work, but she actually pressed the blade in, and blood immediately flowed out.
Director Wu, watching from the side, broke out in a cold sweat: "Professor Chu, throw the knife away immediately!"
Chu Xinxin didn't even look at him.
Director Wu had no choice but to turn his gaze back to the city lord: "City lord, just agree to her request. With Lieutenant General Jack by your side, what danger could there be?"
The city lord still refused to budge: "Professor Chu, you possess both a strong sense of righteousness and great compassion. If you wish to find General Si Beiting, I will send someone to do so..."
"Don't flatter me..." Chu Xinxin interrupted him, "My husband's gone, and you're still talking about love?"
The city lord had no choice but to approve it, but Chu Xin had to go with Jack's team.
"Grandma, where are you going?"
As they left the city lord's mansion, Director Wu kept nagging all the way: "That zombie pit is so dangerous. What if some other virus is released? Our little bit of peace and quiet will be ruined again."
Chu Xinxin turned around, her eyes fixed on him: "Director Wu, what do you mean by releasing some other viruses...?"
Director Wu's body stiffened involuntarily: "The Zombie King died there... I'm scared, I'm scared that his virus will drift into our area through the air."
"So that's how it is..." Chu Xinxin nodded as if she had just realized something.
Director Wu was frightened by her tone, which was normal yet tinged with sarcasm, and he didn't dare to speak to Chu Xinxin again after returning to the research institute.
......
The departure date is set for three days from now.
Jiang Mo offered to go with her. Chu Xinxin initially disagreed, but Jiang Mo said she was afraid that no one would help hold down the mad dog when Chu Xinxin drew her knife, so she insisted on going along.
On the day of departure, Jack saw Jiang Mo. Although he looked displeased, he didn't say anything.
"Xin Xin, what's the plan?"
Jiang Mo asked Chu Xinxin in a low voice.
Chu Xinxin jumped into the car: "No plan, I'll leave it to fate."
"I don't believe it! I heard it all! You hurt yourself to threaten the city lord and even called the general your husband!" Jiang Mo didn't believe that Chu Xinxin would back out at the last minute.
"You didn't pay for this information, did you?" Chu Xinxin looked Jiang Mo up and down. "She didn't harm herself, and the husband thing is even more absurd."
Jiang Mo scoffed: "Then why are you wearing a turtleneck today? You didn't get a hickey from that mad dog, did you?"
Chu Xinxin: "Get out of here right now!"
