Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

While everyone was moving supplies, Liu Yunshu, Chu Sheng, and Qin Zheng quietly broke away from the group and searched for Bai Shuliu's whereabouts deep inside the warehouse.

Chu Sheng lowered his eyes to conceal the dark light flickering within them, and his fingertips silently condensed a wisp of faint black supernatural power in his palm.

Deep within the ruins, his zombie minions, controlled by him and lurking in the shadows, are poised to strike.

He planned to have his underlings "deal with" Li Xin, who always loved to make jokes, to eliminate any future troubles once and for all.

But just then, everything from last night suddenly came to mind:

Liu Yunshu's reddened eyes, her soft, shallow breaths, and the scorching heat of their skin touching.

Qin Zheng rarely let down his cold and hard demeanor; his fingertips were damp with sweat as he displayed his restrained appearance.

Even Li Xin's nonchalant attitude was unexpected...

They were all so clear, as if etched into my very senses.

Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

The black pressure that had been quietly emanating from him suddenly subsided, transforming into a faint thought that silently entered the depths of the ruins.

The zombies, which had already extended their claws and were poised to attack, suddenly stopped.

He stiffly retreated into the shadows, tilting his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with confusion.

Why did the boss's murderous intent suddenly dissipate?

And you even ordered them to retreat?

They looked at each other, but ultimately dared not disobey, and silently disappeared behind the deeper ruins and overgrown weeds.

Chu Sheng clenched his fingertips, his heart still lingering on the addictive intimacy and excitement of last night.

A faint, lingering sweetness seemed to remain on the tip of my tongue.

Fine... for the sake of the taste, I'll spare their lives for now.

He looked up at Liu Yunshu's back, and the gloom in his dark red eyes vanished instantly, leaving only a deep and unyielding attachment.

He quickly caught up, gently tugging at her sleeve, his voice soft and sweet: "Sister, there are many loose stones underfoot, walk slowly."

Liu Yunshu turned her head to look at him, and seeing his clear eyes, she nodded slightly.

"Yes, you should also be careful. Dr. Bai should be nearby."

Qin Zheng walked on the outermost side with his knife in hand, his eyes scanning every dark corner like a hawk.

The fleeting, chilling pressure he felt just moments ago did not escape his perception—

The unfamiliarity and danger caused him to furrow his brow and become even more wary.

Just then, a very faint rustling sound came from a corner not far away.

The three exchanged a glance and silently moved closer to that spot.

The closer she got, the more that familiar heat surged within Liu Yunshu's body.

Her expression changed abruptly, and she stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Zheng immediately noticed, turned to shield her behind him, held his military knife horizontally in front of his chest, and stared sharply into the corner.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

His voice was deep, his concern hidden beneath his calm demeanor. His fingertips accidentally touched her wrist, only to find it burning hot.

Chu Sheng tensed up instantly, a fierce glint appearing in his dark red eyes.

"Sister, are you poisoned?"

He lowered his head and sniffed her neck, but caught a lingering scent of the previous night in her hair.

His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and the fierce look in his eyes quietly melted into a complex emotion.

Qin Zheng saw her cheeks flush and her breathing become slightly disordered, and instantly understood, a knowing sadness flashing across his eyes.

"Who...is it this time?"

"I have no idea,"

Liu Yunshu bit her lower lip tightly, her fingertips turning white, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"The closer you get to there... the stronger the feeling becomes."

Chu Sheng looked at the two of them blankly: "What are you talking about?"

Qin Zheng looked at him, his tone calm but pointed: "Do you remember how you first got together with Yun Shu?"

Chu Sheng was taken aback, his dark red eyes blinked, and after a moment of reflection, a faint blush rose to his cheeks—

As if suddenly enlightened, he looked at Liu Yunshu with a look of realization, his brows furrowing in displeasure: "Little Four?!"

She immediately turned and tugged at Qin Zheng's sleeve: "Big brother! Let's get my sister away from here quickly!"

He didn't want to be the one to steal his sister's attention!

Qin Zheng also thought this method was feasible, and was about to bend down to pick her up when the tightly closed iron door in the corner suddenly slid open with a "click".

"We can't leave..."

Liu Yunshu's breathing became rapid, as if her body was being pulled by an invisible force.

"It's pulling me..."

Before she could finish speaking, she shoved the two of them aside and rushed straight into the room!

"elder sister!"

Qin Zheng and Chu Sheng's expressions changed drastically, and they rushed in after them.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In fact, from the moment Liu Yunshu and her group stepped into the warehouse, Bai Shuliu had been quietly observing the situation in front of the monitor screen.

His fingertips casually caressed the cuffs of his white coat, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting the images flashing on the screen.

A playful smile always lingered at the corners of his lips.

Xiao He stood quietly to the side, holding a recording tablet, marking the three people's movements one by one, not even missing Chu Sheng's fleeting fluctuations of supernatural power.

The scratching sound of the pen tip gliding across the paper was the only background noise in the laboratory.

"Make some noise to lure them over." Bai Shuliu's tone was flat, revealing no emotion.

"Yes." Xiao He nodded and pressed a hidden button in the corner of the wall.

However, as the three approached the laboratory door, Bai Shuliu's fingertips, which were caressing his cuffs, suddenly paused.

—What happened?

A strange restlessness suddenly struck my heart.

He subconsciously raised his hand to adjust his glasses, a rare look of surprise flashing across his eyes behind the lenses.

"How is this possible..."

He muttered to himself, recalling what he had seen that day, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation that he himself was unaware of.

Xiao He keenly noticed his unusual behavior: "Doctor, you..."

"It's alright."

Bai Shuliu quickly composed herself and regained her composure.

Just then—

A figure, accompanied by a gust of hot air, suddenly tackled him to the ground!

"Sizzle—"

The front of the white coat was torn open.

Bai Shuliu looked up in surprise, meeting the gaze of the woman straddling him—

Is she always this... simple and crude?

"PhD!"

Xiao He's usually calm voice was tinged with panic for the first time. He reached out to pull her, but Bai Shuliu stopped him by raising her hand.

"Don't move."

Bai Shuliu's voice remained calm, but the light in her eyes behind her glasses was dazzling, staring directly at Liu Yunshu.

Her hair was disheveled, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were misty, yet still held a stubborn sharpness.

She gripped his collar tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning white from the force.

Hot breath sprayed onto his neck, carrying a fragrance and a scent of desire.

This uncontrolled wildness caused his heart, which had been dormant for many years, to beat violently at an inopportune time.

Xiao He: Doctor, so you like this kind of thing!

Taking advantage of the moment the two were talking, Liu Yunshu directly achieved her goal.

"you……!"

Bai Shuliu's pupils constricted sharply, her eyes widening in disbelief—

That's it... done?

Even with some speculation, this is still...too fast!

When did she do it?!

Xiao He's usually expressionless face finally cracked, and the notepad in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

That aloof Dr. Bai, who viewed all living beings as experimental data, was actually...?!

Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature?!

Qin Zheng and Chu Sheng, who rushed in right after, encountered that familiar scene.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Qin Zheng blurted out, "Bai Shuliu... Dr. Bai?!"

"Big brother! You know this Xiao Si?!"

Upon hearing that it was an acquaintance, Chu Sheng felt a sense of relief and then eagerly approached.

"Are we going to play games again?"

Recalling what happened last night, he unconsciously licked his lips, picked a wild chrysanthemum from the side, and waved to Qin Zheng.

"Big brother! Come quick!"

Xiao He's gaze swept back and forth between the group, his pupils dilating in shock—Do you guys usually... always play this wild?!

Bai Shuliu also snapped out of her shock, her gaze behind her glasses deepening, and the curve of her lips widening: "Indeed... quite an eye-opener."

"Chu Sheng! Come back!"

Qin Zheng's ears burned instantly when faced with Xiao He's shocked expression and Bai Shuliu's amused gaze.

He hissed in a low voice, both ashamed and annoyed.

Chu Sheng's dark red eyes were filled with grievance: "But we did the same thing last night..."

He looked at Liu Yunshu, his voice soft and sweet.

"This fourth one doesn't seem unpleasant, so why not?"

"Who is Xiao Si!" Bai Shuliu finally found her voice and straightened her crooked glasses.

"You! You're the youngest! From now on, you have to listen to us!" Chu Sheng said confidently.

Bai Shuliu was momentarily speechless at the form of address, but her eyes gleamed with amusement: "...That's quite novel."

He turned to Chu Sheng, "So, what's your... rank?"

Chu Sheng immediately puffed out his chest, his red eyes filled with smugness, and pointed his finger at himself.

"I'm the third child!"

It also refers to Qin Zheng.

"He's the best! Winning at Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) depends entirely on him!"

Then she pouted.

"And there's that cunning fox who's a real smooth talker!"

Qin Zheng covered his forehead with his hand—what's there to be proud of?!

Bai Shuliu looked at the legendary zombie king with great interest—as expected, he wasn't very bright, even losing at playing cards.

He looked at Qin Zheng, his glasses gleaming slightly: "This 'big brother'...aren't you coming along?"

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned to Xiao He and said, "Go out and don't disturb us."

"……yes."

Xiao He turned stiffly and moved towards the door as if his feet were made of lead.

Just as the door closed, he caught a glimpse of Captain Qin, whose ears were bright red, slowly walking towards...

He slammed the door shut, shutting out all sound.

However, faint noises still leaked out from under the door—

Liu Yunshu's suppressed panting, Chu Sheng's soft, persistent questioning, Bai Shuliu's low chuckle, interspersed with Qin Zheng's embarrassed yet restrained responses...

The sounds could be clearly heard in the desolate ruins of the warehouse.

He stood frozen in place, his back soaked with cold sweat, and his fingers gripping the recorder trembled slightly.

Having lived for so many years, I have experienced the chaos of the apocalypse and witnessed the bloodshed of zombies devouring the living.

But I have never seen such a mind-blowing scene.

Dr. Bai, who was aloof and viewed everything as an experimental subject, actually participated in it?
