"When you let me fake a pregnancy, didn't you take away the virus?"
"Yes, I told Qiu Chao to make sure to retain your abilities."
Pei Xiqing opened her lips: "Ah?"
After she woke up, she thought she was no different from a normal person.
Now he tells her that Qiu Chao retains her previous abilities?
Then why hasn't she had any reaction yet?
The man's deep eyes revealed complex emotions. He held her hand and kissed her on the lips.
Pei Xiqing's heart skipped a beat and her body went limp because of his actions.
Duan Xiaolin said, "The people you saw at headquarters today are just a retreat that headquarters has left for itself. Within the next two months, they will choose to abandon the headquarters base."
"A retreat? Abandoning headquarters?"
Pei Xiqing was stunned.
"Why else do you think those people were allowed into the headquarters so easily? If they weren't useful to them, they would never have set foot in the headquarters."
Pei Xiqing asked: "The others are going to evacuate, will they stay here?"
"yes."
"How...how could this happen?"
Duan Xiaolin pulled out a chair and sat down as usual, without a trace of surprise on his face.
It was as if sacrificing those people to protect the people at headquarters and using them to contain the parasites and zombies was an extremely common thing.
"Those people won't survive if they don't."
"Why?"
After sitting down, he seemed to notice the blood between his fingers only after being busy for a long time.
——That was the red stain left by the hand that pierced through the chest of the deceased after the murder.
The man took out a tissue, leaned back in his chair, lowered his head slightly, and carefully wiped the marks on it.
Before Pei Xiqing noticed, he had already cleaned it up and there was nothing unusual.
Pei Xiqing didn't notice his subtle movements. Thinking of those people who entered the headquarters thinking they were protected, even if they got used to this situation, they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable for a while.
No matter whose orders it was or what the plan was, this seemed to be an unchangeable fact.
She held the chopsticks and looked at the food in front of her, and for a moment she lost her appetite.
Duan Xiaolin poured her half a bowl of soup and said, "Drink something light."
Pei Xiqing drank slowly, but couldn't help asking him, "Are you still going to the water dungeon?"
It stands to reason that with the chaos outside, there is no point in keeping those people in the water dungeon alive. It is a waste of resources. The truly heinous criminals should have been thrown out of the headquarters long ago.
"go."
"Last time in the water dungeon, you... I saw you were still looking for the crystal core. It has something to do with me, right?"
Qiu Chao mentioned that her current condition still requires the crystal core to be stabilized in the future.
If he can't stabilize, will he continue like this?
Duan Xiaolin picked up some food for her and said, "Eat more."
He didn't answer.
Pei Xiqing felt a little uncomfortable.
He eats slowly.
She would rather endure the horror in the water dungeon than let Duan Xiaolin take risks again.
I don't like this even more.
So she took two bites, put down her chopsticks, took Xiaobai by the hand and went to the swimming pool outside to wash its mouth.
Duan Xiaolin kept staring at her, his eyes fixed on her even though they were separated by a window.
After finishing their meal, the two of them were silent, with only Xiaobai's low and humble whimpers being heard.
Pei Xiqing took her time to take a shower. When she came out wearing a soft silk nightgown and wiping her hair, the man was still in the study having a meeting with someone.
The door was closed tightly, so even if you got close you couldn't hear anything.
The window is too conspicuous.
Pei Xiqing's long hair fell like a waterfall. The lights in the room were dim, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were covered with a few tangles. Her fingertips kept entangled with the wet hair ends, wrapping around several times, and only realized it when it hurt.
She walked out of the room, leaned against the carved wooden fence, and looked down.
The lamp in the study, which was dimly lit, showed no sign of going out.
Pei Xiqing hesitated for a moment, then went downstairs in her slippers.
