This small world's advancement follows the interstellar route. You should know that in the previous life, the fusion between Little Heavenly Dao and Little Green Plum was not so smooth, and this period became the darkest moment.
Many talented people have perished, and the research institute located in the city next to S City also lost its talent at the beginning of the apocalypse. Since Xie Ming knows this, he will definitely help Xie Yixue get on the good side of those powerful figures.
Xie Yixue knew that the most important asset of the 21st century was talent, so upon hearing her brother's suggestion, she immediately turned around and drove to the research institute.
So he encouraged the two sisters to go to the research institute there. The institute was located in the north of S City, exactly opposite their pharmaceutical factory. Fortunately, they didn't need to go into the city; they could drive there directly from the national and provincial highways.
It took them two days to reach the research institute. However, there were two military trucks parked outside, indicating that they had been watched for some time.
Xie Yixue wasn't afraid of trouble but also disliked it, so she stayed in the car and didn't come. The other party noticed them, and soon someone got out of the car and walked towards them.
The newcomer was tall and strong, with long legs and a powerful waist. His muscles bulged under his black t-shirt, and he looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.
"Yeah! Get out of here quickly, there are zombies inside. You'd better not linger here!"
The man stared at Xie Yixue in the car, finished speaking, and turned to leave.
Xie Yixue neither looked at the person nor spoke. Xie Ming's eyes lit up; something was up.
He was about to turn and ask his second sister when Xie Nijing scoffed and cursed, "Scumbag!"
Xie Yixue remained silent, as she prepared to drive away, when a terrifying scream erupted from inside the research institute.
"Ding~ There are 20 villagers trapped by zombies 3 kilometers away from here. Please go and rescue them immediately."
Xie Yixue laughed! Did they think she was also trying to escape as a "saint"?
She sensed something was off about the system at the supermarket last time. What kind of people was it making her save? They all seemed to have the potential to be ungrateful. Ha!
What's even funnier this time is that the research institute is right in front of them, and there are important people inside. Why doesn't it let them go there themselves, but instead tries to send them to a more distant place?
"roll!"
"The host will be punished with electric shocks if he fails to complete the task as required!"
"I'll punish you, you old mummie!" Xie Yixue cursed at the system in her mind.
"Disrespect for the system, punishment initiated immediately. 10, 9, 8..."
Xie Yixue panicked a little. Had she been too impulsive? Just because the system didn't touch her last time didn't mean it didn't have this function.
Being electrocuted in front of everyone is no pleasant experience; she didn't think it through.
Next time, at least stall for time. She closed her eyes briefly, then stared at the windshield and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
Xie Nijing thought her older sister was being influenced by the scumbag and didn't dare to say anything, quietly letting her sister calm down.
Time passed second by second, and after waiting for a while, Xie Yixue did not feel any pain.
Why don't I feel anything again? Is this how the system punishes me?
She had a vague idea in her heart how excruciating the punishment would be, but both experiences of punishment told her that she was overthinking it.
Xie Ming: You can cover it up however you like...
Just then, Bai Yiyi, who had just finished cleaning the toilet with a toilet brush in the bathroom, saw the toilet brush in her hand burst into a bright light. The word "again" seemed to be emitting a dazzling light like a magic wand. She stared blankly at the toilet brush, wondering why she had used "again" with a bitter face.
"Ah—" After a miserable scream, the familiar taste and recipe followed. Liu Yiyi, foaming at the mouth, did not understand which god she had offended, and why she was being tortured like this.
After sensing the "host's" pain, the system closed its eyes with satisfaction and began to absorb energy.
The two punishments used up a lot of its electricity, but thankfully it has solar power. Otherwise, it really wouldn't know how to deal with that disobedient host next.
Xie Ming didn't mind the system's powerful functions at all; otherwise, how could Miss Bai have a better experience?
Feeling that the danger was far away, Xie Yixue cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "Let's go in and take a look too!"
Xie Ming, who was there to support them, opened the car door first and got out. The situation in the research institute this time was different from that in the supermarket last time. Several level 2 zombies appeared, and there was even a level 3 mental zombie.
The research institute was wiped out for the same reason in my previous life.
More than the zombies and talented people inside, Xie Ming was curious about what was going on between Xie Yixue and that man from earlier. But he wasn't in a hurry; he'd find out soon enough.
Since he wanted his two older sisters to grow up happily from the beginning, he decided to become a big cheat...
So, it was three or four hours later when the group of people emerged from the research institute intact. After reading the memories of the man named Gu Beichen, Xie Ming learned about his sister's story.
Actually, their story is quite cliché: the tomboyish woman successfully rises to power and ends up marrying her best friend, while the villainous female supporting character, Xie Yixue, is despised and becomes a strong woman.
Since they knew there was no need to make a move inside the research institute, those people were now in a sorry state, completely lacking the sharpness and strength they had shown when they first met.
"Yixue, can we talk?" Gu Beichen called out to Xie Yixue with mixed feelings.
As Xie Yixue was arranging for the rescued people to get into the car one by one, she heard a familiar voice.
Seeing this, Xie Ming quickly pushed the weak and helpless Yan Xishi, whom he had just rescued, into Xie Yixue's arms, saying, "Sister, you support him, I can't support him!"
With someone in her arms, Xie Yixue blushed and lost all interest in dealing with the scumbag.
"Want to fight? Come on!" Xie Nijing saw that the person still wanted to stop her, so she immediately flicked her hand, and an invisible spatial force grazed Gu Beichen's cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his handsome face that would never heal.
