Hua Kongque took Chu Xinxin back to his lodging at the S base.
Chu Xinxin's beauty shocked the entire audience.
Si Beiting went upstairs to change clothes, and David couldn't wait to come over: "Beautiful lady, if you were kidnapped here, blink twice."
Chu Xinxin gave him a strange look and admitted, "I came here on my own."
Everyone's eyes widened even more.
Lyle and Ryan exchanged a glance, took out their smart devices, logged onto the research institute's website, and entered Chu Xinxin's name.
The page redirected, and Professor Chu Xinxin's information page appeared immediately. The person in the photo and the person in front of her were indeed the same person.
They immediately took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat where Si Beiting was not present.
David: It's actually him! I thought Si Beiting had just found someone to fool us.
Alice: I really want to give Professor Chu ten pounds of eye drops to wash his eyes.
Lyle: I'm so nervous. The inventor of the barrier agent, isn't that my benefactor? Should I go and kowtow to her first?
Ryan: Don't be like that, I'm nervous too, it feels like I'm facing the pioneers in the Central Square exhibition hall.
Why are you all so quiet?
Si Beiting changed his clothes and went downstairs, where he saw his teammates looking down at the AI.
David turned off the AI: "General, we'd like to exchange contact information with Professor Chu..."
"No way!" Si Beiting didn't even have her contact information. "Why would my girlfriend add you on WeChat?"
Three shocking events.
"Professor Chu, you two just met? And you've already agreed to be his girlfriend?"
Alice was heartbroken and stared at Si Beiting with hatred in her eyes, wishing she could take his place.
Si Beiting's heart skipped a beat. He had blurted it out without thinking, but he hadn't spoken to Chu Xinxin yet. He wondered if she would contradict him in public...
Chu Xinxin glanced at Si Beiting with her beautiful eyes, and after seeing the word "serum" on his face, she nodded reluctantly: "Um... still in the trial period."
"Then we should definitely add Professor Chu to our group chat!" Ryan boldly declared. "Professor Chu, I'll keep an eye on him for you. If he goes to a bar to find prostitutes, I'll immediately let you know!"
"Get out!" Si Beiting said with a dark face. "Stop making false accusations."
Before Ryan could say anything more, Si Beiting had already picked up Chu Xinxin's coat: "We're going out to eat. Goodbye."
......
As Chu Xinxin left Si Beiting's residence, she still felt several pairs of eyes staring at her from behind.
She glanced back but didn't see anything unusual.
Si Beiting assumed she was looking at his dormitory and explained, "This is temporary accommodation allocated to me by the base; it's a bit small..."
“It’s not young anymore.” Chu Xinxin looked away. “Many people try their best but still can’t get a bed in the base’s dormitory.”
Si Beiting and his teammates, on the other hand, were able to live in a detached house.
Si Beiting shook his head: "If it's just a place to stay for a few days, this place is indeed quite large, but if it's for settling down, I have an even bigger house..."
"I have a three-story seaside villa in Base C. I live there by myself, and when the weather is nice, I go for a swim in the sea..."
"That sea was very clean, and the water was very blue..."
"They put up a barrier net in the sea so the zombies can't get in. Sometimes David and I go diving to catch fish, like before the apocalypse..."
"Most of the residents in Sector C are ordinary people from before the apocalypse, kind and gentle, unlike Base S, where power is concentrated and everyone is eager to climb a little higher..."
On the way back to the research institute, Si Beiting told Chu Xinxin about the general situation of Base C.
It's clear he really likes Base C; when he talks about it, his eyes and brows are filled with a gentle tenderness.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Back at the research institute, Chu Xinxin interrupted him, "We're here. I'll go back now. Remember to come for your blood test tomorrow."
Chu Xinxin still maintained that aloof and cold demeanor, seemingly out of place in the world.
"Professor Wei, could you give me your contact information?"
Before Chu Xinxin could say "no," Si Beiting took out his AI device and stared at her with bright eyes: "I fell in love with you at first sight and want to pursue you."
Chu Xinxin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she called Si Beiting "Wei Yan".
"Not really."
Chu Xinxin refused.
"Give me a chance." Si Beiting swore to the zombie's head, "I promise, I'll just check your Moments occasionally, and I won't bother you unless it's important!"
Chu Xinxin refused again.
"No, please... I'm going to the frontier area again in a few days, and we may never see each other again. Just consider it a reminder of the past."
Si Beiting lied without batting an eye: "Imagine when I'm surrounded by a zombie horde in the wilderness, out of ammunition and food, desperate, helpless, and on the verge of death, looking back on my life, I can't even get the goddess's contact information. Isn't that pathetic?"
Chu Xinxin hesitated.
Si Beiting seized the opportunity: "Besides, I need to contact you when I come to get my blood drawn tomorrow, right?"
"My AI ID is 137..."
Si Beiting: ...Oh, he understood. His Professor Wei only liked serum.
......
After Chu Xinxin returned to her dormitory, took a shower, and turned off the lights to go to sleep, her smart device popped up a message with a "ding".
The photos were sent by Si Beiting.
In the photo, Si Beiting is standing in a courtyard, watering flowers with a hose.
Perhaps the photographer called out to him, because Si Beiting turned around and smiled very handsomely at the camera.
Behind him was a beautiful three-story villa with clean, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, seashell wind chimes hanging on the door, and what appeared to be a swing in the corner...
He actually enjoys life quite a bit.
The system commented.
Chu Xinxin frowned: "What does this have to do with me?"
[Sister, don't be so cold. I think Si Beiting is quite interested in you. How about we tie ourselves to him and make him our target?]
"If you like him so much, why don't you go after him?"
Chu Xinxin retorted.
[I'm just an emotionless system; I can't perform such difficult maneuvers.]
As they were talking, Si Beiting sent another message—
"This is my seaside villa. Isn't it beautiful?"
“What should I do? Every time I close my eyes, all I see is the scene of living with you by the sea.”
"Base C is really beautiful, you'll definitely like it."
"Of course, Base S is also very good."
"I really hope that one day when the apocalypse ends and the Earth is reborn, this will come true."
Chu Xinxin originally wanted to turn off the smart device, but after seeing the last sentence, her gaze lingered on the screen for a long time.
The end of the apocalypse and the rebirth of Earth—this was her lifelong wish, and also the wish of the survivors.
She wouldn't leave Base S or the research institute until then.
Si Beiting... doesn't seem to be a bad person.
At least, as one of the current rulers of humanity, he still remembers humanity's original aspirations...
In Base S, there are just too many people vying for power and only concerned with their immediate interests...
