Si Beiting looked around the room but didn't see Chu Xinxin.
"I'm here."
Chu Xinxin's voice came from directly in front of Si Beiting; it was from an electronic camera.
"Bao?" Si Beiting asked cautiously.
"Hmm." Chu Xinxin teased, "Who tied the rope for you? It looks awful. You look like a big rice dumpling."
Si Beiting pleaded, looking aggrieved. "Baby, can you tie me up? I don't like this way of tying me up either..."
Chu Xinxin chuckled: "Hmm... If it were me, I'd wrap a rope around your neck twice first, leaving some red marks. A wounded rose always evokes more pity..."
"Then you'll put your hands under your armpits and tie them behind your back..."
"Soaking hemp rope in a drug that causes intense itching and madness, and watching the general's face, which is both restrained and flushed, must be quite interesting."
Chu Xinxin's words were strangely flippant, and Si Beiting's breathing became heavy.
"Professor Chu, your idea is very dangerous..."
"The general won't allow it?"
"Whatever Professor Chu wants to do to me... I'd gladly accept it."
Chu Xinxin nodded in satisfaction: "Then please do as I say, General... I believe you are capable of tying yourself up."
Si Beiting: ......
"Baby, let's play this when we get home." Si Beiting coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "Let's talk about the current situation first."
When it came to serious matters, Chu Xinxin also became serious.
She said, "Director Yu just made me write a letter asking for help, and I guess he might have his informants find a way to get it to you."
"Give me?"
"His goal is to find you through me."
A hint of amusement flashed in Si Beiting's eyes: "Does he also want eternity?"
"Who knows?" Chu Xinxin paused for a moment, then continued, "No matter what he wants to do, you should agree to his request on the condition that he rescues you."
Si Beiting raised an eyebrow: "You want Director Yu and the City Lord to fight amongst themselves?"
"Hmm, yeah."
Chu Xinxin's voice was sweet and charming, and Si Beiting's lips curled up: "Baby, you're so cute."
......
After Chu Xinxin finished her call with Si Beiting, the system immediately jumped in and asked urgently: "Sister, what just happened?"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Chu Xinxin rubbed her eyes wearily, feeling uncertain about the system again.
Sister, I was suddenly forced offline.
"oh."
Sister, don't you even care about me? Sigh, yeah, you never liked me anyway, you'd only be happier if I went offline...
The system spoke pitifully, but secretly it carefully observed Chu Xinxin's every expression.
"You woke me up just to say this?" Chu Xinxin looked grumpy after being woken up, and the system immediately dared not ask any further questions.
[Strange, there's clearly no malfunction...]
The system muttered to itself, racking its brains but unable to figure out what went wrong.
Chu Xinxin lay back down and closed her eyes, hiding the coldness in them.
......
A few more days passed.
When Si Beiting was having his blood drawn for the third time, Chu Xinxin's "letter of appeal" finally reached him.
Yu Hua unplugged the surveillance camera and then placed the letter in front of Si Beiting.
Si Beiting watched as his dark red blood was continuously drawn from him. After a few seconds, he lifted his eyelids and said, "Didn't you break up with Director Yu? Why are you still risking being discovered to send him a letter?"
Yu Hua paused for a moment, then casually replaced Si Beiting's blood collection tube with a vacuum tube.
"The general is truly resourceful. I didn't even say who sent me in, yet the general spoke with certainty."
"Isn't that right?"
"Yes." Yu Hua pulled out the blood-drawing needle. "Is the General going to save Professor Chu?"
Si Beiting sighed: "I can't even save myself."
Yu Hua: "If the general wants to leave, I'm afraid no one can stop him, right?"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"The strongest superhuman, and also the complete zombie king..."
Yu Hua picked up the plate, stood up straight, and looked at Si Beiting: "General, I delivered the letter. That person also asked me to tell you something: if he doesn't see you tomorrow night, Professor Chu might become like you, a zombie..."
Si Beiting shook his head: "Professor Yu Hua, I really can't do anything. The cage you made for me has a built-in weakening buff. I can't even use a third of my full strength. If Professor Yu really needs me, either get me out first, or he can do it himself."
"Does the general not care about Professor Chu's life and safety?"
"I do care, but what can I do?" Si Beiting spread his hands. "It's good that Professor Chu has become a zombie. I can protect her in the future."
This is different from what was rumored.
Yu Hua frowned. Wasn't Si Beiting supposed to be head over heels in love with Chu Xinxin?
He glanced at Si Beiting again.
Si Beiting smiled at him, looking every bit the playboy.
Time was running out, so Yu Hua had to go out first.
After getting off work and returning home, Yu Hua was still thinking about the matter, so much so that he didn't notice that there was someone sitting in the corner.
"What did Si Beiting say?"
The figure in the corner suddenly asked.
Yu Hua was startled, but after recognizing the figure as Director Yu, he composed himself and told him what had happened that day.
"Did Si Beiting really say that?" Director Yu asked.
Yu Hua grew impatient: "If you don't believe me, you can go ask him directly. Anyway, the city lord hasn't taken back your authority yet. You can still go wherever I can."
Director Yu said with a hint of helplessness, "Yu Hua, can't my son and I get along peacefully?"
"cannot!"
Yu Hua's eyes flashed with hatred: "From the moment you injected the zombie virus into my mother's body, you abandoned this family. What right do you have to talk to me about father and son?"
Director Yu emerged from the darkness: "I've explained it many times, I want her to live forever!"
"Immortality?" Yu Hua sneered. "Then where is she now? Ridiculous! If it weren't for you, she would still be alive!"
"She did it voluntarily!"
"Voluntary?" Yu Hua was furious. "If you hadn't deceived her, how could she have agreed!"
"What did I deceive her about? I told her about the side effects before I injected her!" Director Yu continued to argue.
“You told her about the side effects, but you also said that you would be injected with the zombie virus.” Yu Hua said as he approached Director Yu, until he forced her back into that dark corner.
He gazed into Director Yu's somewhat cloudy eyes, which held not a trace of regret.
"So, what happened to the zombie virus in your body?" Yu Hua pressed.
"I, I, there was only one copy of that virus at the time, I said it would be a little later..." Director Yu saw a news article about Si Beiting on Yu Hua's desk, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
He pointed to Si Beiting's photo and said, "Look, isn't that what I'm doing now—trying to be with her?"
Yu Hua was so angry at his shameless statement that he laughed.
"In the end, all you wanted was to use your mother as a test subject so that you could be the first to develop the complete zombie virus!"
"Stay with her? Almost twenty years have passed, and you're saying you want to stay with her?"
"Director Yu, you're just after the complete virus in Si Beiting's body..."
