A few days later, when Xu Nian went to the lab again, she was met with admiring glances from a group of researchers.
Even tasks like serving tea and water are eagerly sought after by a group of people.
Xu Nian was embarrassed by everyone's enthusiasm, so she tried to persuade them to go back.
After much persuasion, they finally managed to send the group away.
"Niannian, my brother found some new materials. Take a look and see if they're of any use." Li Chen led his men in carrying several boxes and cages.
"What is this?" Xu Nian walked up to the boxes and opened them one by one to look inside.
There are five boxes of moving plants and two boxes of glowing, stained glass-like objects.
"My brother sent word that this glassy thing was dug out from the heads of zombies and the bodies of plants. These boxes of plants have all mutated. See if they have any research value." Li Chen was full of expectations for these new materials. If these things were useful, they could add a lot of help to the base.
"Okay, leave it to me." Xu Nianyi was really delighted with these new materials; they were all good stuff.
She was so engrossed in her research that she didn't even know when Li Chen left.
The stained glass-like object was filled with energy, just like the crystal core described in the novel.
However, its energy is very violent and chaotic, and it cannot be consumed directly by humans; it needs to be purified before it can be used by humans.
Xu Nian wrote down the commission method, left his laboratory, found the researchers, and handed over the information to them.
Everyone was overjoyed; with this potion, those with superpowers could quickly increase their strength.
This will greatly ensure the security of the base.
"Long live Dr. Xu!"
Someone suddenly shouted that, and the entire research institute was filled with that sound.
Now they all wish they could be Xu Nian's assistants.
Dr. Xu is so amazing; he has developed three kinds of medicine in just two months. I'm sure I can learn a lot by following Dr. Xu around.
Being praised by so many people made Xu Nian blush with embarrassment. She felt like she had a cheat code, while the people who got to where they were today relied on their real talents and skills.
After humbly greeting everyone, Xu Nian went back into the lab to study the mutated plants.
"Huh! These mutated plant cells can actually devour zombie cells!" Xu Nian felt incredulous.
I wonder if extracting these plant cells would have any effect on living zombies.
With this idea in mind, Xu Nian began to frantically research extraction.
After extracting all the mutated plants, Xu Nian finally obtained a large container of plant cell extracts.
Arriving at the cage where the zombies were being held, Xu Nian used her mental power to sprinkle the plant cell extracts onto the zombies.
Visibly, when a zombie gets this stuff on it, its flesh and bones begin to dissolve rapidly.
In just one minute, the zombie was completely devoured by the plant cell extract, leaving not a trace.
Xu Nian quickly recorded the entire process, a slight smile playing on her lips. This way, the speed of clearing out the zombies could be increased even further.
When Li Chen came to find Xu Nian, she had just put away all the experimental data.
“Dr. Xu, you haven’t left the research institute for a month. Can’t you think about the lonely wife waiting at home?” Li Chen said with a mournful expression.
Xu Nian's hand trembled as she held the documents. "Li Chen, can't you speak properly?"
"Dr. Xu, did I say something wrong? You'd rather spend time with these cold, lifeless vessels than with the fiery and passionate Xiao Li Li." Xu Nian couldn't respond to Li Chen's words and could only roll her eyes.
"You're giving me attitude, you scumbag! You don't cherish what you've got." Xu Nian wanted to cover Li Chen's mouth because of his crazy behavior.
"Can't you watch your image? You're supposed to be a base commander now, how can you talk like a scoundrel like that!" Xu Nian walked over, stood on tiptoe, and pinched Li Chen's face.
"I want this side too." Li Chen brought the other half of his face closer.
"Li Chen, that's enough! Even when you're pinching my cheek, you have to be evenly matched. Didn't you want to go home? Aren't you coming?" Xu Nian had only taken two steps when Li Chen caught up and grabbed her hand.
Xu Nian handed over the research materials and left the research institute under everyone's teasing gazes.
"Niannian, you're so shy, you're blushing already." Li Chen shook off their clasped hands, smiling broadly.
Xu Nian glared at Li Chen shyly, it was all because he was too flirtatious.
Fortunately, the research institute was not far from the villa, so it was fine for the two to walk back hand in hand. Just as they arrived at the villa entrance, Yuanbao came running towards them.
"Host, I miss you so much!" Yuanbao's tail left afterimages as it flicked.
Xu Nian picked up Yuanbao and gave him a good squeeze. "Yuanbao, you've been doing well lately!"
"Of course, I even went out and found you a lot of supplies!" Yuanbao said happily.
"Are you stockpiling so many supplies because you're afraid you won't be able to support me one day?" Xu Nian joked.
“I’ve seen the original storyline go on for so long and the apocalypse still hasn’t ended. I’m just worried that supplies will become increasingly scarce and you’ll go hungry, host. Anyway, the things won’t spoil in the system space.” Yuanbao rubbed against Xu Nian’s hand, looking extremely content.
When Li Chen saw that Xu Nian had ignored him as soon as she saw the little pig, and even carried the little pig into the villa by herself, completely forgetting about him, his face darkened instantly.
He now seriously doubts whether bringing this little fat pig back was a mistake.
Since Xu Nian was going to be shared with Yan Ze anyway, he wouldn't have much time to spare for her.
Now, to make matters worse, there's a little fat pig attracting Xu Nian's attention.
Although Li Chen was unhappy, he still entered the villa with a smile on his face.
When he saw Xu Nian sitting on the sofa, engrossed in playing with the little pig, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
He walked over, picked up the little pig, and then, to Xu Nian's astonishment, threw it out of the villa.
"Li Chen, what are you doing, Yuanbao?" Xu Nian tried to pick Yuanbao up, but Li Chen hoisted him onto his shoulder.
"Li Chen, put me down." Xu Nian's fists had no effect on Li Chen.
"What's so fun about that little fat pig? Why don't you play with me?" As soon as Li Chen entered his room, he pulled Xu Nian into his arms and kissed her profusely.
"Niannian, it's been over a month since we last saw each other, and you don't even miss me. When you get home, all you see is that little fat pig, and you don't even look at me. I'm so sad. You don't like me anymore." Li Chen pressed his forehead against Xu Nian's and accused her.
Xu Nian planted a kiss on Li Chen's lips. "Who said that? I like you the most."
"Since you like me the most, can you sleep with me now?" Li Chen asked pitifully.
"..." It's as if he would let her go if she disagreed.
"If Niannian doesn't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." Li Chen smiled slyly.
So Nian Nian likes this kind of style!
He understood.
...
"Li Chen, don't go too far."
"Niannian is disgusted with me."
"I don't."
"You just yelled at me."
"I was wrong, let's continue."
