Chapter 250 – Professor, Please Don’t Raise Zombies (40)
On the bulletin board in the center, the biggest task of the Beixuan Base recently was written: to investigate a research center. This center was once the largest research facility, a collaborative effort of several major nations, before the national systems collapsed.
It housed a vast array of equipment, but when people tried to enter at the beginning of the apocalypse to salvage the equipment and research materials, they discovered that the zombies inside were far stronger than those outside.
Moreover, it seemed that the virus had initially spread in that area, and before much exploration could be done, the powerful zombies in the research base forced people to retreat.
Only now were people willing to face this nightmare once again—not only for supplies and equipment but also to explore the origins of the apocalypse, to uncover the reason why the end of the world came.
Therefore, the Beixuan Base was calling for a large number of hired personnel, with the First Team from the base leading an expedition to the research center two days later.
Since this was a major task, no detailed registration was required; anyone with proof of permission to enter the Beixuan Base could receive a small token for assembly. After getting the token, Yan Che took Yan Luo and left, just narrowly missing the senior leaders of the base who were rushing over after hearing noises outside the door, realizing what was happening.
The original purpose of coming here was to upgrade this little girl. As zombies didn’t need sleep, Yan Che didn’t mind wasting time. He took the girl and casually walked out of the base, cleaning up the unlucky zombies nearby. Though there weren’t any high-level zombies, they were enough as snacks for the girl.
Looking at the little girl eagerly eyeing the crystal cores in his hand, Yan Che couldn’t help but feel a rare sense of helplessness. He was now facing a dilemma—being eaten out of house and home.
The little white hand reached over, trying to sneak a crystal core from the small pile, but Yan Che grabbed her hand. Raising an eyebrow, he thought to himself that she had eaten too much today. He was unsure if this would affect her energy absorption or other aspects.
They locked eyes.
Yan Luo : QAQ
Yan Che : …
He surrendered.
He once again picked a crystal core and handed it to her. Seeing her cheer and immediately shove it into her mouth as if afraid he might change his mind, Yan Che couldn’t help but laugh.
He put away the rest of the cores and found a clean corner to sit down. He pulled the little girl into his arms, resting his chin on her head, and sighed in contentment.
Yan Luo chewed the crystal core without resistance, comfortably nestling into his embrace, the crunching sound of her chewing filling the air.
Yan Che listened to the small sounds of her enjoyment, the soft sensation of her, and little by little, his heart was filled. It felt like no matter what they did, it didn’t matter—this was enough. It felt good.
The little girl quickly finished chewing, and her little hand once again moved restlessly into Yan Che’s pocket.
She felt around.
Nothing?
Yan Luo blinked and, not believing it, felt around again.
Not a single one?!
Where did he hide all those cores earlier?
She flipped over in his arms, brazenly rummaging through his clothes.
Yan Che smiled, spreading his hands in a manner that suggested, ‘Do as you wish.’
Hmm… the scene was a bit too sweet.
Watching her face slowly show signs of doubting life as she searched, Yan Che couldn’t hold back his laughter.
It was the first time he had laughed like this. Yan Luo, lying on Yan Che, could clearly feel his body trembling from his laughter.
