Chapter 131 The one who is not loved is the mistress

"Since everyone has no objection, this zombie will be under my charge," Xiang Wu pointed at Yu Zheng in the glass cover from a distance.

Xie Weiran gave Zhao Xuan a look, signaling her to go and take over.

Although Zhao Xuan didn't like Xiang Wu, he knew that this concerned the interests of the nine people, so he was stopped just as he was about to stand up.

"Wait a moment," Meng Jinyan said slowly to Gao Shangshen, "Captain Gao, the research on zombie serum is urgent, and the situation is tense now."

"It would be better for Ms. Xiang Wu and Xiao Zhi to make progress together and conduct separate research and development." Meng Yinyan's words were not aimless. This was the biggest step back he could make.

Tong Lan wants to cooperate with Jiuzhong in order to eliminate the influence of the Meng family.

But this is not like raising a tiger to cause harm.

Sure enough, Gao Shangshen showed an embarrassed look on his face at the right time.

Meng Jinyan faced everyone's gaze and said slowly, "The research and development team led by Xiaozhi, our Meng family will provide him with any materials he needs and will not take up the laboratory's resources."

Meng Yi's words had reached this point. Gao Shangshen remained silent and looked at Meng Yi with some surprise in his eyes.

Gao Shangshen would never believe that Shen Zhi could make Meng Jinyan do such a thing and that he had no ulterior motive.

Gao Shangshen glanced at Shen Zhi and Xiang Wu hesitantly. Although he wanted to suppress the Meng family, the research and development of the serum was the top priority.

Two years after the end of the world, no one has any hope of developing the serum.

Meng Jinyan bet the Meng family on Shen Zhi to seek opportunities, which made Gao Shangshen doubt whether Shen Zhi really had the ability to develop the serum or why Meng Jinyan trusted Shen Zhi so much.

The top scientific research giants have made almost no progress in the development of serum. Can Shen Zhi, a young boy, really develop serum?

This is a bit too far-fetched.

Although Gu Anyang has made a breakthrough in zombie genes, the data he left behind after his death has attracted coveted attention from all sides. It will probably take several years for his students, standing on the shoulders of giants, to further advance the progress.

Gao Shangshen doesn't trust anyone, but he has to make plans for Tong Lan.

At the very least, even if it meant internal collapse, he had to make sure the serum came from Kirara.

"Okay," Gao Shangshen nodded.

Meng Yiyan kept smiling, glanced at Yu Zheng who was surrounded by white coats, and said, "There is one more thing."

"All the things in the lab belong to you, Madam." Meng Yu suddenly changed the subject, "Now Xiaozhi is also a serum developer, why not give this zombie that still retains human consciousness to Xiaozhi?"

Gao Shangshen didn't think there would be anything wrong with giving Yu Zheng to Shen Zhi, and was stopped just when he was about to agree.

Xie Weiran stepped forward and suggested, "Since this zombie is conscious, why don't we ask for his opinion?"

"Cooperative patients always have a miraculous effect on doctors' performance," Xie Weiran asked Meng Yinyan, "Is that what you said, Chief Meng?"

Meng Yiyan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Okay," Shen Zhi bypassed Meng Yinyan and agreed to Xie Weiran's suggestion.

"Xiao Zhi?" Meng Yiyan looked at him in confusion.

Shen Zhi didn't explain, but just said: "You don't have to do this."

He doesn't need anyone to fight for him. What belongs to him will eventually belong to him. It has been like this since he was a child, and it will never change.

Because he is irreplaceable and cannot be replaced.

Yu Zheng's glass cover was opened, and Shen Zhi and Xiang Wu entered together wearing protective clothing.

While waiting, Xiang Wu looked at Shen Zhi, who looked calm, as if he was destined to win, and couldn't help but sneer, "Shen Zhi, you don't think you can be successful after losing Qi Tongye's protection, do you?"

In Xiang Wu's opinion, Shen Zhi's academic qualifications were only average. His papers were basically shoddy or they were just piggybacking on Qi's work and were just for the sake of putting his name on it. They had no real substance.

During her work at Lan'an, Xiang Wu did not find any redeeming qualities in Shen Zhi.

He developed the project alone, without any data and never reported any progress. No one knew what he was researching, and there were no results.

Not only Xiang Wu, most people in Lan'an think that Shen Zhi is just here to gain experience.

After all, Qi Tongye is not only Shen Zhi's mentor, but also Shen Zhi's adoptive father.

"Everything you got from me, I will take back," Xiang Wu seemed to be declaring some oath.

Shen Zhi didn't waver, and looked at Xiang Wu strangely, "Whatever you want."

Shen Zhi looked at Xiang Wu's cold and proud face and said sincerely, "If you can get it."

"You..." Xiang Wu was choked, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

Xiang Wu quickly calmed down and sneered, "I hope you can still be so sharp-tongued later."

Shen Zhi and Xiang Wu quickly entered the glass cover, and the staff had explained it to Yu Zheng in advance.

"You can choose between Professor Xiang and Professor Shen," the staff member said calmly.

Yu Zheng drank up the nutritional supplements prepared for him by the staff, and looked up at the two people who were wrapped up tightly.

Yu Zheng moved, and the iron chains on his body made a creaking sound.

"What are you going to do to me?" Yu Zheng's dark blue eyes moved. If he had a choice, Yu Zheng hoped to reduce the pain.

Yu Zheng had more contact with Shen Zhi and looked at him first.

Shen Zhiwen remained motionless after receiving the gaze, and slowly said, "Pulling nails, pulling teeth, drawing blood, and conducting human experiments."

Seeing Yu Zheng's increasingly serious expression, Shen Zhi did not change his words but added, "It's the same as what you saw on TV."

Yu Zheng opened his mouth. He had expected his fate.

He often thought that since he was lucky enough to preserve his consciousness, it might be for him to dedicate himself to all mankind.

Maybe he is some kind of destiny, savior or something like that.

Yu Zheng often comforts himself in this way to ease his fear of being put on the chopping block in the future, but he also wonders why he has to be the one to be sacrificed. What else can he do if he doesn't become the sacrifice?

It can even be said that even with his special case, he cannot save the world.

Since there is no difference, it doesn't matter what choice you make.

Yu Zheng turned his head stiffly, "I choose Shen..."

"Is it worth it?" Shen Zhi knew Yu Zheng's choice. Even though he had told him the worst consequences, Yu Zheng still chose to accept these inhuman treatments.

This was not the result Shen Zhi expected.

"I..." Yu Zheng's stiff throat was constricted, making it difficult for him to pronounce the words.

After becoming a zombie, Yu Zheng rarely has any emotional ups and downs.

Now he really wanted to cry for himself, he had no choice.

Even if he could give a little to humanity, he would never take a step back. The education he received, his responsibilities, and his morals all told him that sacrifice is great.

"I choose you." The moment Shen Zhi asked him if it was worth it, Yu Zheng felt relieved. At least someone had asked him if he was willing to pay, and someone cared about his feelings.

Shen Zhi fluttered his eyelashes and nodded slightly: "Okay."

"In fact, you have a better choice," Xiang Wu interrupted, "Here, you just need to wait for your blood to be drawn. We don't do human experiments."

Yu Zheng glanced at Xiang Wu. Xiang Wu spoke in a cool and capable voice. Just standing there made people feel very convinced.

Yu Zheng's stiff muscles made it impossible to show any expression. He could see that Xiang Wu was a competitive person.

He believed that Xiang Wu would keep her promise, and he also believed that she would be cruelly abandoned after he could no longer gain any value from her.

"No," Yu Zheng said.

There was no anger of being rejected on Xiang Wu's face. She took a few steps forward, squatted in front of Yu Zheng, and looked at him carefully.

Suddenly Xiang Wu whispered a few words to Yu Zheng and then stood up.

"Let's go," Xiang Wu looked at Shen Zhi confidently, "He will make a new choice."

Shen Zhi followed Xiang Wu and left.

The thick protective suit wet Shen Zhi's hair, and fine beads of sweat flowed freely on his pale cheeks. He looked weak as if he had been pulled out of the water.

"Xiao Zhi," Meng Jinyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Shen Zhi's face, "Are there any results? Even if not, don't worry, things won't be too bad."

Meng Jin's words were so firm that Shen Zhi looked at him more.

Just now Shen Zhi could see that Yu Zheng wanted to choose him, but after Xiang Wu finished talking to him, he became hesitant.

Presumably, Meng Yiyan, who was outside the glass cover, also saw it.

"I just discussed this with Xiao Meng," Gao Shangshen said. "Conscious zombies are hard to come by. Both of you want to study them, but for the sake of our serum, I decided to let you two take turns studying them."

"Captain Gao, that's not what you said just now," Xie Weiran interrupted anxiously.

Gao Shangshen did not respond and looked at Shen Zhi and Xiang Wu: "I wonder what the choice was just now?"

The staff told Gao Shangshen, "It was Professor Xiang."

Gao Shangshen nodded and said, "Then let Professor Xiang do the research first and return it to Professor Shen in a month."

Without giving them another chance to refuse, Gao Shangshen left leisurely.

Throw the bait down, and the dragon-tiger fight can't fall on him.

"Xiao Zhi," Meng Yinyan lowered his head and said softly, "I'll take you back to rest, or you can eat first."

"No need," Liang Mujia came over happily, "Our boss asked me to take care of Professor Shen."

Shen Zhi was silent, his eyes swept across Meng Jinyan's bloodstained shoulder, and after a while he said, "I'll go with him."

Liang Mujia scratched the back of his head in annoyance and made way: "Okay."

Her boss couldn't keep anyone, and she, a pawn, certainly couldn't keep anyone either. She could only pray that her boss would come back soon.

Shen Zhi took Meng Yinyan back to his residence.

Shen Zhi took out the medical box from the bedside, which he saw last night.

In the end times when resources are tight, it is quite good that Kiran can think so carefully.

Shen Zhi took out hydrogen peroxide and gauze and put them on the tray, and asked Meng Yinyan to sit down.

Seeing the tweezers in Shen Zhi's hand, Meng Yanyan raised his eyes and said softly, "Xiao Zhi, don't worry about me. I will be fine in two days."

He had seen it and found that the wound was not big, not as serious as any other injuries he had suffered before.

"Different," Shen Zhi's cool fingertips fell on Meng Yinyan's shoulders, making Meng Yinyan's skin numb.

Shen Zhi took the clothes off Meng Jinyan's shoulders, and the shoulder wrapped in bandages was already soaked with blood.

Shen Zhi took a pair of scissors and cut the gauze, revealing Meng Yunyan's narrow and deep knife wound.

"What's different?" Meng Yiyan didn't think there was anything different, but he wanted to talk to Shen Zhi more.

Shen Zhi picked up the bottle and poured hydrogen peroxide directly onto Meng Yinyan's wound.

The severe pain caused Meng Qingyan's back muscles to tighten, forming a raised knot. The white and soft skin created a strong visual impact with the overly tough lines.

The coexistence of violence and beauty is very eye-catching.

Shen Zhi applied the medicine and bandaged the wound again, "Your wound will not heal."

Meng Jinyan seemed not surprised at all, "Ordinary people have their own ways to save their lives."

Even the beggars on the street, if they can survive, it means they are a hundred times more ruthless than ordinary people.

While Shen Zhi was putting his things away, Meng Yinyan put on his clothes again and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Xiao Zhi."

Shen Zhi nodded nonchalantly, not taking it to heart.

"Perhaps you can't understand," Meng Yinyan smiled a little sadly, "Few people care about me. They think I'm too strong, so strong that I don't need to be cared about."

"That seems like a blasphemy to me," Meng Yiyan said with a distant look, "but how can people not need to be cared for? Humans are animals that survive on emotions."

Shen Zhi paused and looked at Meng Yanyan seriously: "I don't understand, let alone comprehend."

Meng Yinyan suppressed his smile, leaned forward to look Shen Zhi in the eye, "I can teach you."

Puzzlement flashed across Shen Zhi's eyes, and he shook his head calmly: "I don't want to learn."

"Do you know why Yu Zheng chose Xiang Wu?" Meng Dingyan changed the subject when facing the unmoved Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi shook his head.

Almost in an instant, after speaking to Xiang Wu, Yu Zheng's choice changed.

Meng Yiyan briefly explained: "Nine people investigated Yu Zheng and found the ex-boyfriend who betrayed Yu Zheng. They used Yu Zheng's ex-boyfriend as a favor to force Yu Zheng to choose them."

"Xiao Zhi," Meng Yinyan said earnestly, "Emotion is always the biggest factor affecting people's choices.

"But fortunately, you are not troubled by this," Meng Yinyan invited solemnly, "Xiao Zhi, marry me. This way, you will be able to enjoy all the resources of the other half of the Meng family."

Shen Zhi lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on Meng Dingyan's slender hand in front of him.

There is really nothing wrong with that.
