Xiang Jintian's eyelashes slightly drooped. After a long moment, he made his decision.
"Xixi, let Yong'an out. I'll instruct him to go back and report."
The girl's dark eyes hid a smile as she turned and hugged his narrow waist.
"Jintian, thank you for choosing me."
Xiang Jintian let out a deep breath, burying his face in her warm, smooth neck and nuzzling gently.
"I didn't think about these things before. You'll have to remind me more often. I don't understand much about romantic love between men and women."
Recalling the time they had known each other, they had met very little, yet he hadn't realized she was suffering.
Reporting this matter didn't actually require his personal presence. With Yong'an around, it didn't matter if he went or not.
Xu Qian's heart trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and hugged him tightly, not responding.
After the two opened the door, they discovered it was a guesthouse.
Zombies ambled sporadically in the corridor.
The guesthouse was a two-story building with an open-air design.
The first floor had a large pond with artificial rocks placed within it.
Unfortunately, the pond's water had long since dried up, and countless dead carp emitted a fishy, foul odor.
After clearing out the zombies in the guesthouse, Xu Qian had an idea and released the three people from her space.
The three gradually woke up, looking around in confusion.
Suddenly, Xiong Yong'an's eyes widened, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Did we go to heaven?"
"Boss, you're here too? Sister Qian, you're here too?"
Xiang Jintian: ...
Xu Qian: ...
Xiang Jintian pressed his brow. How did he find such an... unintelligent assistant?
"Yong'an, go back and report our situation here to the person in charge in detail."
Xiong Yong'an's eyes darted around, and he shouted excitedly, "Boss! We're not dead??"
Hou Xiaoqing couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head.
"Hurry up and go, stop talking nonsense."
Ming Letong covered her mouth and chuckled from the side.
Xiong Yong'an smiled foolishly, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go now."
Xu Qian's eyes flickered, and she called out to him, "Wait, the three of you go back together."
Xiong Yong'an froze. "Why?"
Ming Letong could understand, but why did Hou Xiaoqing also have to go back?
Hou Xiaoqing's thick, dark eyebrows twitched, and she understood.
Xu Qian wanted some one-on-one time with the boss.
Of course, she had to assist her.
Hou Xiaoqing grabbed each man by the collar, more manly than any man.
"Go when you're told, stop the nonsense."
"Can you let go? It's so embarrassing!"
"No one's here, you can only embarrass yourself in front of the zombies."
"Hou Xiaoqing!!"
The man wrapped his arm around the girl's waist, pulling her close to him.
He naturally understood Xu Qian's intentions but didn't object.
"Xixi, where do we go next?"
His voice was melodious and deep; even closing his eyes and not seeing his face, one could be captivated by his voice.
Xu Qian leaned against his arm and said softly, "H City Laboratory."
The address indicated that the H City laboratory was located on an island.
It was very close to T City.
It was originally a tourist island, but it gradually fell into disrepair due to poor management.
The island was deserted. Adventurers used to explore it, but after it was sold five years ago, the island disappeared from people's conversations.
After listening to Xiang Jintian's explanation, Xu Qian said indifferently, "So they bought it to use as a laboratory."
"Right, Jintian, have you noticed the 'X' logo on their clothes?"
Xiang Jintian's eyes darkened, and he nodded.
"It's highly suspected to be the X Corporation."
Xu Qian had never heard of the X Corporation, not even before the apocalypse.
