Chapter 242 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (32)
The little girl’s emotions caught Yan Che off guard, and he never expected her to think in that direction, especially since she was usually someone who forgot punishments as soon as she got what she wanted.
It was rare for her to express her true feelings so directly, and in the end, her intelligence only backfired on her.
The little girl suspected that he had other motives, though even if he did, it wasn’t necessarily wrong.
Yan Che let out a sigh of relief, but his face didn’t look very good. Looking at Yan Luo, who was glaring at him with her big eyes, full of grievance, he reached out and rubbed her hair.
“Why would I waste so much scientific research on you?”
“Clearly, you do…” The girl’s voice gradually lowered, and her emotions shifted.
Yan Che noticed this sensitively and was about to speak when a member of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s team couldn’t help but yell, “Bro, stop showing off your affection. The zombies are almost here, let’s finish the mission and head back quickly. You can show off however you want later…”
The person’s words made Yan Che pause for a moment. As Yan Che turned around, the expression on Yan Che’s face made him instinctively tense up, breaking out in cold sweat.
It felt like Yan Che could kill him with just a look…
By the time he snapped back to reality, that feeling seemed like a hallucination. Yan Che was still smiling, with no sign of threat at all.
Had he misjudged the situation? He scratched the back of his head, and before he could think deeply, his attention was drawn to the approaching zombies.
This wasn’t the right moment to continue talking to his little girl. Yan Che glanced at the people who had seemed useful before but now were somewhat in the way and clicked his tongue.
But it was fine. As long as he found the key issue, he was confident he would get the answer he wanted.
Ahead was the first research base. Many of the zombies around were wearing military or research uniforms, but they weren’t very strong. A lot of the area had collapsed, so there wasn’t much to scavenge. Cheng Xiaoxiao’s team, with a space-type ability user, quickly gathered supplies, and they headed towards the nearby buildings.
The mission was progressing smoothly, which felt a bit too strange. Cheng Xiaoxiao felt something was off, but since this was just the outer edge of the research area, the more powerful zombies shouldn’t be here, so she didn’t think too much about it.
Some of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s team members looked at her. Their task was to secure the perimeter of the research area, but seeing the current situation, they were capable of venturing a bit further.
Cheng Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, staring at the other nearby buildings. A sense of unease lingered in her heart, a feeling she had relied on to avoid danger countless times before.
“There’s something off inside. Don’t go deeper. Let’s finish the mission and leave quickly.”
As she watched the space ability user pack up the supplies, her gaze couldn’t help but fall on Yan Luo, who had been behaving more obediently, hiding behind Yan Che. Her appearance and clothing seemed so out of place in this post-apocalyptic world. There was something about these two that made Cheng Xiaoxiao feel uneasy.
Yan Che was quite sensitive. Hearing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s words, showed a trace of boredom in his eyes. He lowered his gaze, watching Yan Luo play with the corner of his shirt.
