Chuze sat behind the desk, looking at the person in front of him who radiated a chilling aura. He slightly curled his index finger and adjusted his glasses, saying, "Whether you accept it or not, this is a fact."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Chuze observed the skepticism in the visitor's eyes. The reflection on his glasses flashed, concealing his thoughts. He simply moved his lips and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, we have a common enemy, don't we?"
The person listened to Chuze's flat tone without any fluctuations and found it difficult to make a judgment, feeling conflicted inside.
"Beep beep beep, unidentified personnel are visiting. Do you authorize entry?"
Seeing that the person seemed to believe his words but still looked at him with caution, Chuze gestured with his hand, and a light screen appeared. On the screen was someone waiting outside for authorization, who looked exactly like Liu You'er in front of him.
Liu You'er also saw the screen and looked at Chuze with slight surprise but found his expression unchanged, as if nothing strange had occurred. She couldn't help but wonder what could provoke any emotional response from him.
"You can go now; I know you are genuine."
Upon hearing this, Liu You'er felt even more apprehensive towards him. She initially wanted to ask something else but held back her words. The moment Chuze said "yes," she vanished from her spot.
"Bang!"
The door opened, revealing "Liu You'er" entering with a cold expression as she scrutinized Chuze. She asked, "Do you know Liu Huan?"
Chuze glanced at her, showing no emotion in his eyes as he replied, "A friend of my father's."
"Liu You'er" paused for a moment before asking, "The Chuze my father mentioned in his recording before he died—are you him?"
Chuze adjusted his glasses and replied calmly, "Yes."
"What on earth is going on? Tell me!"
Seeing "Liu You'er" emotionally slam her hand on the table while still trying to maintain her composure as she asked questions, he looked at her steadily for a moment before saying, "You have been exposed."
"Liu You'er" was taken aback and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Suddenly, a sense of crisis struck. "Hurricane" dodged to the side just in time to see a laser beam penetrate Chuze's body and shoot towards him. He hurriedly moved aside, but at the same moment, a blue liquid poured down from the ceiling, instantly drenching him and restoring his original appearance.
"Holographic projection!"
He looked at Chuze's position, astonished that Chuze could create such a realistic image, even incorporating details like heartbeat and breathing. Truly impressive!
"Zing~"
Another horizontal laser shot towards him. Xuan Mo scoffed, but the next second, he realized that the laser had transformed into a net-like pattern.
"Damn!"
Xuan Mo quickly ran back as a tornado appeared, directly drilling a hole in the wall. Just as the laser net was about to hit him, he jumped into the tornado and escaped through the hole.
"Bang!"
Xuan Mo barged into Liu You'er's room without knocking. He found Liu You'er calmly lying on the bed, breathing evenly, while he himself was drenched in a pungent smell of medicine, looking like a drowned rat with his wet hair sticking to his body—he couldn't have felt more uncomfortable.
He scanned Liu Youer's room and noticed there were no cameras. With a gaze full of hostility, he approached Liu You'er and found her blanket tucked in tighter than before?! Did she go out? But he had left at two o'clock...
He took another look at Liu You'er, his mind racing, then stepped out. A minute later, he rushed back into Liu Youer's room and yanked the blanket off her...
"Boom~"
Xuan Mo quickly tucked the blanket back over Liu You'er, feeling a hint of embarrassment as he heard something suspiciously crimson by his ear before hurriedly retreating to his own room.
"She actually sleeps naked..."
Once he had completely left, Liu You'er's eyes moved slightly, but she still did not open them.
Inside the Laboratory
Chuze's calm face finally showed a crack; his hand trembled as he lifted the cup, spilling a drop of water. However, in less than a second, his expression returned to calmness.
The Next Day
"Knock knock knock"
"Get up, get up, it's time to wake up~"
"Bang"
Xuan Mo was kicked awake, causing Liu You'er to raise an eyebrow in surprise. Noticing the shadows under his eyes, she coolly said, "You'd better not sleep well every day; that way I can kick you a few more times."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo mischievously replied, "Sure~ If we're in the same room, I definitely won't sleep well every day~"
After saying that, he provocatively licked his lips.
Liu You'er felt a chill and couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
Seeing Liu You'er acting as usual, Xuan Mo's doubts about her diminished somewhat. He began to seriously consider how Xuan Mo recognized him. Could it be that Liu You'er had something about her that he hadn't managed to imitate?
But what he didn't know was that this was something he could never replicate in his lifetime.
"Knock knock knock"
"Open the door."
Xuan Mo's brow twitched; his hand moved slightly, and the next second, the door opened.
Wang Luojie saw Liu You'er and felt a jolt in his heart. He truly couldn't understand why, despite being completely different people, every time he saw Radiant Lightning, he would...
“Radiant Lightning?”
He felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Ability... is it also electricity?
Liu You'er had already walked up to him, smiling politely as she said, "Can we go now?"
Wang Luojie looked into her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go."
He didn't even notice that a spark of hope ignited in his heart, the hope of redemption...
Xuan Mo was just about to follow when he heard Wang Luojie turn around and say to him, "Only the base leader can go in; no one else is allowed."
Xuan Mo felt a chill in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Liu You'er say, "Little Xuan, take care of the house. I'll bring you something delicious when I return." Then she turned and left without a trace of reluctance.
Xuan Mo: "..."
Wang Luojie and Liu You'er walked side by side down the street when suddenly a rope appeared at Liu You'er's feet, causing her lips to curve slightly. In the next moment, she “tripped” toward Wang Luojie.
Wang Luojie hadn't planned to help her, but when he saw her white hair fluttering and slowly descending, he couldn't help but reach out to support Liu You'er. However, Liu You'er didn't give him that opportunity.
If she really tripped over that rope, she wouldn't need to negotiate with the Commander!
So she merely tilted her body slightly and straightened up, murmuring to herself, "Why did a rope suddenly appear?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for Wang Luojie to hear. At the same time, behind them came Qiaoyue's voice.
“Wang Luojie~ Who is she... ah.”
When Qiaoyue saw Liu You'er's face, the fear in her eyes flashed away as something fell from her hands onto the ground.
A strange thought crossed Liu You'er's mind. What was she afraid of?
Although she had her doubts, she still walked up to Qiaoyue, picked up the items and returned them to her hand, saying kindly, "Are you okay?"
Qiaoyue blinked and returned to normal, a bit shyly saying, "I'm sorry, I misjudged. The old base was invaded by a cruel Zombie, and she had white hair too. Seeing your hair now... it brings back memories."
"Oh~ it's fine."
Liu You'er felt a chill in her heart but curiously asked, "What about that Zombie? Was she caught?"
"Well... I don't know. After that, I came here with Wang Luojie. However, I haven't heard anything about her since then. She probably died..."
"Qiao Yue!"
Wang Luojie looked at Qiaoyue with displeasure, drawing Liu You'er's attention and causing his expression to stiffen for a moment. He then introduced Qiaoyue, "This is Radiant Lightning from L Base. I'm taking her to see the Commander, so I have to go."
Seeing that he was unhappy, Qiaoyue obediently said, "Okay~ I'll wait for you at home~"
But before she could finish her sentence, Wang Luojie had already left. Anger surged within her as she clenched her fists, thinking to herself, what is so good about that Vile Woman? She clearly knows she has turned into a Zombie yet still clings to the past as if I were dead! Thank goodness I told Wei Yuan about her identity back then!
Liu You'er glanced at Wang Luojie's slightly angry face and was surprised that he felt such deep remorse towards her. Heh heh~
It seems I can take advantage of him...
