Ji Yuan didn't want to look at Nan Zhi's pitiful eyes. He closed the door and looked at the bare bed in front of him, his head aching even more.
Zhang Lu was shocked when she received the call and learned that Ji Yuan wanted to replace the mattress and blankets.
Her sixth sense told her that it was that female zombie who did it.
That's too outrageous! How could Ji Yuan tolerate her staying in the villa?
After listening, she hesitated for a moment, then calmly suggested, "Professor Ji, there are a few empty rooms in room number five. Should we send her in?"
Cell Five is considered the base's prison. Besides criminals, it also houses some zombies that are going berserk or have already gone berserk.
Ji Yuan glanced at the messy room, paused for a moment, and then hummed in agreement, "You can arrange it."
If he could get rid of her sooner, he wouldn't be so irritable.
He glanced back at the closed door; it was quiet outside, without a sound.
Fearing she would cause trouble again, Ji Yuan opened the door and went outside, only to find her still standing there.
She was looking down as she untied the knotted blanket, trying to crawl out from inside.
Hearing his footsteps, she looked up, her face blank: "Professor, I can't get out."
Ji Yuan: ...
The fear on her face had vanished, and her memory seemed to have lasted only a few minutes.
However, she remembered him quite well.
Looking at her foolish expression, Ji Yuan wondered what had gotten into him, but he actually squatted down to help her.
When he came to his senses, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. He wanted to leave, but looking at Nanzhi's silly grin, he sighed helplessly and continued to untie the knot.
"Professor, you are so handsome."
Nanzhi stared at him, unable to look away.
Perhaps because he always wears protective clothing when he goes out, he is fairer than most people. However, this fairness is not effeminate, because he has a very masculine and ascetic face, as well as a tall and upright figure. Every proportion of him is perfect, and when he is not smiling, he has a sacred and inviolable feeling.
Nanzhi looked at his slightly furrowed brows and his lowered, somewhat cold eyes, and dared not speak.
Because Nanzhi needs to be taken to Room 5, special forces are required to escort her.
Zhang Lu contacted Jian Yihan, and when she arrived at the villa in her protective suit, she felt something was off about the scene in the living room.
Nan Zhi sat obediently on the sofa, curiously watching the animated videos on her iPad, while Ji Yuan sat in a swivel leather chair not far from her, expressionlessly looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Apart from the sounds coming from the iPad, the room was too quiet.
However, as long as Namzhi can leave this place, it's something to be happy about.
Zhang Lu thought she had relieved Ji Yuan's worries and couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
She walked towards Ji Yuan. Normally, even when she was wearing protective clothing, she had to keep a meter's distance from Ji Yuan when they talked. Today, she pretended to take an extra step forward unintentionally, thinking that Ji Yuan would allow it.
In no mood……
Ji Yuan glanced coldly at her extra step, his lips barely curved, but the chill in his eyes sent shivers down one's spine.
She bit her lip and withdrew her foot apologetically: "I'm sorry, Professor Ji, I overstepped my bounds."
Zhang Lu thought Ji Yuan was like that with everyone, and she comforted herself, telling herself it was alright.
But the next moment, she stared at Ji Yuan walking towards the female zombie, her expression frozen.
Let's go.
Nanzhi looked up. "Where to?"
"A good place."
Nan Zhi happily stood up, wanting to follow him, but then, as if remembering something, she looked longingly at the iPad on the coffee table, "This is so much fun, I can..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ji Yuan nodded.
Nan Zhi happily followed behind Ji Yuan, clutching her iPad.
Several times, she almost stepped on Ji Yuan's foot, but Ji Yuan didn't get angry. Not to mention, she had already stepped into Ji Yuan's restricted area, where no one was allowed to approach within a meter.
Zhang Lu: ...
Thankfully, she was just a zombie.
Zhang Lu could only console herself with this thought.
After Ji Yuan helped Nan Zhi into the car, he did not take her there.
He watched the car drive away, feeling that he had finally temporarily isolated a troublesome person.
Looking at Nanzhi, who was leaning against the railing of the carriage and staring at him longingly, he paused for a moment and instructed Zhang Lu, "Remember to send her three meals a day on time, with plenty of food, enough for at least five people."
Zhang Lu was slightly taken aback.
In the post-apocalyptic world, resources are scarce. The vegetables in the base are cultivated with great difficulty, and only high-ranking leaders are qualified to eat them. Zhang Lu, for example, can only eat them once a week. Most of the time, she drinks that unpalatable nutrient solution.
Zhang Lu never expected that Ji Yuan would make that filthy and ugly female zombie of unknown origin eat the food that all humans want to eat but cannot get.
The key point is that it's a meal for five people.
She thought for a moment, worried that Ji Yuan might not know about the scarcity of resources, and reminded him, "Professor Ji, the vegetables in the base are difficult to grow. Actually, we can give her nutrient solution."
Ji Yuan did not react as she expected, but instead glanced at her indifferently.
Having been by Ji Yuan's side for so many years, Zhang Lu is extremely perceptive and would surely understand Ji Yuan's intentions.
She quickly fell silent and dared not offer any more suggestions.
Ji Yuan turned and went back to his room. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Keep an eye on her condition at all times. Report any unpleasant signs to me immediately."
"Yes, Professor Ji."
Zhang Lu bowed and watched him close the door.
Room number five was built underground. On the way, Nan Zhi was initially staring at Ji Yuan, but after she could no longer see him, she caught a glimpse of Jian Yihan out of the corner of her eye.
He wore a black scarf and mask, revealing only a pair of hawk-like eyes.
Hehe, that's so cool.
She asked tentatively, "My name is Zhizhi, what's your name?"
Jian Yihan stared at her without answering.
Nanzhi was handcuffed and had shackles on her feet.
It makes a tinkling sound whenever it moves.
She leaned closer and stared at him. "Are you... unable to speak?"
Jian Yihan frowned slightly. Did she have a bad memory?
He had just saluted and spoken to Ji Yuan when he left; had she forgotten already?
As a special forces soldier, you should avoid speaking if possible.
Jian Yihan ignored her.
She genuinely believed he couldn't speak, and said with a look of pity, "You're so pitiful."
Jian Yihan: ...
Cell Number Five is the most secure prison in the base, and even in the entire post-apocalyptic world. It houses the most heinous criminals and zombies, who are electrocuted if they disobey.
As soon as Nanzhi entered, she heard a shrill scream. A zombie suddenly lunged at her and slammed against the door. Its grayish-white, bloodshot eyes stared at them hungrily, and it made a terrifying sound, which almost made Nanzhi jump up in fright.
Several special forces soldiers couldn't help but laugh when they saw Nan Zhi like this.
One of them said, "You're a zombie, yet you're afraid of other zombies?"
