Chapter 239 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (29)
At least Cheng Xiaoxiao and her team never expected Yan Che to lie so blatantly with his eyes wide open.
After all, in such a high-risk environment, if Yan Che had told the truth, perhaps no one would have believed him.
How could there be a human so powerful that they could survive alone in such a dangerous place for so long?
Moreover, if they were mercenaries, according to Yan Che’s explanation, it actually made sense. Many capable mercenaries, when taking on big missions, would investigate the reward near the target location to determine if the risk was worth it.
Of course, it’s rare to find people like Yan Che and his companion who have delved so deep into such a place.
“Turns out they’re on our side.” Several members of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s team let out a sigh of relief, their faces showing expressions of relief.
This reaction stunned Yan Luo, who had turned to look at them.
—Friends, if you think of this guy as one of your own, humanity might really have a date with extinction soon.
“Yeah, turns out it was just a misunderstanding.” Yan Che didn’t hesitate at all, still smiling and looking easy to talk to.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up with contemplation. If she could recruit these two powerful ability users into her team, the things she wanted to do later would be much easier.
But this wasn’t a child’s play. This was the apocalypse. Even though these two claimed to be mercenaries, she couldn’t trust them so easily. Moreover, their abilities were beyond imagination; if they weren’t allies… they could be obstacles.
However, before Cheng Xiaoxiao could speak, Yan Che spoke again. “Since our goals align, we won’t return to the base to accept the mission and came back here. Instead, why don’t we just work together with you? What do you think?”
Yan Che looked at them with a smile, but there was a faint threat in his eyes.
This attitude made Cheng Xiaoxiao trust them a little more. After all, resources were limited. If they completed their mission and returned, getting more supplies would only be possible by venturing deeper, where the risks would be even higher. It needed to be carefully considered.
So, if Yan Che and his companion had just walked off without saying anything, she might have found it odd.
“I believe Captain Cheng of the First Team wouldn’t be stingy with this batch of resources, right?” Yan Che continued.
Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t surprised that Yan Che knew her surname. In fact, it made her trust him more. After all, she had some fame in Beixuan Base, but for those who hadn’t been there, few would know her name. She nodded. “Since the two of you have already scouted, we naturally can’t let you do all the work. We’re just following orders from the base to investigate. If you’re willing to help, the final reward will definitely be delivered without any reduction.”
Only then did Yan Che nod, seemingly satisfied.
“May I ask what your names are?” Cheng Xiaoxiao asked.
“I’m Yan Che, and this is my girlfriend, Yan Luo.”
His tone was so matter-of-fact that it not only made Cheng Xiaoxiao have no doubts about the name ‘Yan Che’ without a second thought, but also stunned Yan Luo.
—Wait a minute… Since when did I become your girlfriend? ┌(。Д。)┐
When did this happen? Why didn’t she know about this?
What’s going on, being suddenly tied to him like this?
