Suddenly, the mysterious man darted forward, transforming into a streak of green light and rapidly approaching Xia He. Seeing the mysterious man about to touch her, Xia He didn't hesitate; in a flash, she returned to her spatial dimension.
"It's that trick again!" The mysterious man gritted his teeth upon seeing this. "All's fair in war, don't you understand such a simple principle?" Xia He suddenly appeared behind the mysterious man, and before he could react, she plunged the Green Dragon Crescent Blade into his body.
"Die!" Xia He whispered in the mysterious man's ear. Then, she pulled the knife out of his body. Xia He looked at the mysterious man's falling figure, let out a contemptuous sneer, and then joined the team to eliminate the zombies.
Seeing that Xia He had successfully dealt with the mysterious man and temporarily escaped his entanglement, Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The two then worked together seamlessly once again, clearing away the zombies around them one by one.
However, just when they thought the situation was somewhat under control, the laboratory floor trembled again, and even more plant tentacles emerged. The mysterious man's voice echoed in the air: "You think this is all you've got? This is just the beginning!"
"Damn it, how many lives does this thing have?!" Xia He couldn't control her expression anymore and started frantically hacking at the plants in the laboratory with a knife.
However, the mysterious man never appeared again, except for that echo in the air.
Without the mysterious man's control, the zombies were much less powerful than before. The two quickly cleared them out and, not wanting to waste too much time there, prepared to leave the research institute as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, upon stepping out of the research institute, they were met with a massive horde of zombies!
After the battle, Xia He and Xiao Lin no longer had any spiritual energy left to deal with these troublesome zombies, so they quickly drove away from the research institute area in their Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
The two of them quickly returned to the base on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. This journey was much faster than Xia He and Xiao Lin had imagined, but it still took a day and a night. The two of them first went to Professor Fu's laboratory and dumped all the information they had collected into Professor Fu's laboratory. They also took out a lot of experimental equipment, which made Professor Fu extremely happy.
At the same time, Xia He released the little boy from the space. Professor Fu looked at the sleeping little boy and fell into a temporary silence. Professor Fu had always known that Xia He had a space that could carry objects, but this was the first time he knew that she could carry people. Therefore, at this moment, Professor Fu really wanted to send Xia He to the experimental platform for research.
Professor Fu stared intently at Xia He, making her break out in a cold sweat. It was only when Xiao Lin coughed that Professor Fu was pulled away from his research fanaticism.
The two recounted everything they had seen and heard at the abandoned research institute to Professor Fu. A somber expression appeared on Professor Fu's face, and he said he would check the data and then inform Xiao Lin and Xia He of the results.
As for the little boy, since no one knew whether he was friend or foe, Professor Fu chose to temporarily place him in the glass house where the zombies were kept.
After Professor Fu called Zhou Zihao to organize the materials, Xia He and Xiao Lin left. Xia He returned home immediately and rushed to Li Chunhua's house. "Grandma Li, are you home?" Xia He called out to Li Chunhua while knocking on the door.
The two little ones were incredibly excited to hear Xia He's voice. Li Chunhua was cooking in the kitchen at the time. Hearing Xia He's voice, she rushed to open the door. As soon as she opened it, the two little ones enthusiastically rushed towards her. Fortunately, Xia He was prepared and managed to steady herself the moment the pandas pounced. After receiving the two little ones' warm welcome, Xia He and Xiao Lin entered Li Chunhua's house.
Li Chunhua said, "Perfect timing, my meal is almost ready, let's have a meal together! Lao Qian will be here soon too."
Xia He didn't refuse coyly and nodded in agreement. At the same time, she went to the kitchen to help Li Chunhua.
It's 6 PM now. However, due to the polar night, most people's biological rhythms are disrupted. Most of them eat when they're hungry and sleep when they're tired. Although there are still some basic living and sleeping routines in the base, they are still more or less affected by the polar night, which has disrupted their original routines.
A short while later, Dr. Wang and Dr. Qian also returned. Both of them worked at the base and their schedules were relatively regular.
Inside the kitchen at this moment.
Li Chunhua said, "Xiao He, did anything go wrong on your trip? It took much less time than expected."
Xia He didn't want Li Chunhua to think too much, so she just said, "The situation has exceeded expectations by a lot, but it's nothing serious. It's just that the outside world has changed too much, and the base will have to find a way to make its defenses more robust."
Having said that, Li Chunhua understood the situation and didn't ask any more questions. Because there were two more people, Li Chunhua didn't have enough food to cook and wanted to cook two more, but Xia He stopped her, saying, "Grandma Li, I have plenty of delicious food. You don't need to cook more."
Xia He asked Xiao Lin to bring the dishes to the table, and then picked out a few dishes from her space. The two little ones were also clamoring to eat, so Xia He prepared a deluxe dog food meal for them. After washing her hands, she sat down at the table, and the group finished eating while chatting and laughing.
Just as Xiao Lin was about to play mahjong at Li Chunhua's house, Hai Dong called out to him through his communicator and left. So Xiao Lin, feeling dejected, walked out of Li Chunhua's house alone and went to his office to attend to base affairs.
Xia He, Li Chunhua, and the other three happily started playing mahjong.
Dr. Wang and Dr. Qian are not nearly as busy as Professor Fu. They have also recently trained many talents within the base, so they still have some free time to sit together and play mahjong.
