Ming Le Tong was startled and pointed to the washroom next to him.
"Oh, yes, it's here."
He truly didn't understand girls' thoughts. Wouldn't putting on a jacket just mean slipping it on?
The girl carefully walked into the washroom with the clothes, and gently closed the door.
Xu Qian's dark eyes immediately turned cold. She unfolded the clothes and examined them carefully.
The clothes were nothing special, pure white, but with a small black 'x' logo on the chest. Other than that, there was nothing else.
The goggles and the edge of the mask were all imprinted with the 'x' logo.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes. What was this 'x'?
In her previous life, the Yu Corporation didn't have much influence in the apocalypse. Moreover, when she went to investigate last time, it was obvious that the Yu Corporation had a superior party.
This 'x' might very well be the person controlling the Yu Corporation from behind the scenes.
"Xiang Qian, are you done?"
Xu Qian's eyes flickered slightly. She snapped back to attention and replied, "Coming."
She quickly put on her jacket, donned her goggles and mask, and walked out.
Ming Le Tong had already changed into his gear and was waiting for her outside.
The two pulled open the door and walked out.
Even if she wasn't socially anxious, Xu Qian's body was still somewhat tense.
This was the territory of the big villain.
Ming Le Tong sensitively detected her discomfort and comforted her, "It's alright, this is where I grew up. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"The only downside is that it's a bit cold..."
Xu Qian was stunned. He grew up here from childhood?
"How old are you?"
Ming Le Tong raised his hand to press the elevator button.
With a "ding," the door opened.
"Seventeen. Next year I'll be able to go to the surface and properly experience the outside world."
As he said this, Ming Le Tong's tone became more excited, as if he greatly yearned for the outside world.
Xu Qian frowned. This meant that this base had existed in City B for 17 years.
She secretly let out a cold smile and said in a deep voice, "The outside world is not as beautiful as you imagine."
Ming Le Tong scratched his head.
"No way. My mom and dad said that the outside world is bustling and has lots of people. It's just that they've all gone to the surface now, leaving me alone here."
As he spoke, his head gradually lowered, his tone growing lower.
He was extremely dejected.
Xu Qian glanced at him and said softly, "You'll know later."
This boy seemed to know nothing about the outside situation.
Didn't he know about those mutated insects?
Impossible.
With a "ding," the elevator door opened.
Two people, both wearing lab coats, entered the elevator.
Ming Le Tong quickly shielded Xu Qian behind him, standing straight in front of her.
One of the men turned and glanced at the two of them.
"Yo, our younger brother Le Tong already has a girlfriend? Aren't you going to introduce her?"
Ming Le Tong's face turned red. He yelled, "Stop talking nonsense, she's not my girlfriend."
The man rolled his eyes and sarcastically said, "If she's not, she's not. Why are you so agitated? Do you like her, and she doesn't know?"
Ming Le Tong's eyes reddened, and he was almost brought to tears by anger, but he didn't know how to retort.
He did, indeed, like her very much.
From the first glance.
"Ah Quan, shut up!"
The man immediately showed a look of panic, glared at Ming Le Tong, and softly replied "Yes."
Xu Qian's eyelashes fluttered. Her eyes had been lowered since the two of them entered, trying to minimize her presence.
This man named "Shut Up" was most likely part of the leadership.
"Ding."
The elevator door opened.
Suddenly, a slightly indifferent voice came.
"Ah Tong, if you like something, just take it. Put it on my tab."
Ming Le Tong pursed his lips and didn't speak.
After they left, he said with a choked voice, "Who cares."
Xu Qian didn't bother with whatever he was sad about. The moment the elevator door closed, she stepped out.
The scene before her made Xu Qian feel a nameless sense of panic.
She hadn't expected this 'x' corporation to have built such a colossal laboratory right under the imperial capital.
