âThatâs Xu ShuoâŠâ Chen Wei bathed finished and sat down with Ning Le at a corner. Her small face showed hints of fear.
âXu Shuo?â Ning Le was confused. What about him?
Chen Wei grabbed Ning Leâs hand and shivered. âYou donât know⊠heâs very scary.â
âScary?â
Ning Le was curious. That guy didnât look scary at all. In fact, he was a bit cuteâŠ
âHe killed someone beforeâŠâ
Chen Wei stammered as she talked about the life of Xu Shuo. At the age of 20, he already had a long resume.
He was Tengjiang Universityâs all-around genius.
He was also Tengjiang Universityâs maniac, whom everyone was afraid of.
Ming Shu recalled the storyline and realized that this person never appeared before. Also, Ji Nan didnât meet the female lead in this laboratory.
It was highly likely that captain Fan never found Xu Shuo, or he was dead and didnât meet Ji Nan. Either way, he didnât have any scenes.
âŠ
Ming Shu was the last one to go wash up. When she came out, there were only three students and Captain Zhaoâs man left in the laboratory. The rest had disappeared.
( Boxno vel. co m ) Chen Wei saw Ming Shu coming out and immediately straightened.
Ming Shu felt that this girl was amazing. She was so frightened in front of the zombies, but acted like a princess when there were none.
Ming Shu couldnât be bothered with her. She took her bag and left the laboratory.
Inside this big laboratory, there were only Ji Nan and Xu Shuo. The corridor was empty.
Ming Shu walked along the corridor and realized that there were lights ahead. A door was open. Behind the door, a man in a white lab coat was deep in thought in front of an operating table.
A zombie was lying on the operating table. Its hands and legs were tied up and it was furiously roaring.
Xu Shuo felt someone watching him and turned around. After two seconds, he said, âWhat are you looking at? Do you want to take a turn?â
He took a few steps forward and closed the door.
ââŠâ Crazy.
Why are you blaming me when you forgot to close the door yourself?
Just as Ming Shu was about to leave, the door opened and Xu Shuoâs face appeared. âAre you a student of Teng Jiang University?â
âIâm a teacher of the university,â Ming Shu smiled.
Xu Shuo grunted, âI know all the teachers in the university. Youâre not one of them.â
He paused and pointed at the zombie on the operating table, âAre you from outside? Are the zombies outside different from this one?â
âWhy must I tell you?â I am not going to play with a maniac. Iâm scared.
âArenât you a teacher? Shouldnât you help me with my queries? Although it is Doomsday, you should still keep your honor as a teacher.â
âOh, Iâm sorry. I just reported to the university and havenât started teaching. Hence, it canât be helped. Also, in times like these, even humanity needs to be questioned. Letâs not talk about the honor of a teacher.â I just dug a hole for myself. Luckily Iâm smart enough.
Xu Shuo didnât reply. He stared at Ming Shu for two seconds, then closed the door.
Ming Shu was locked out of the room for the second time.
How hurtful.
âYe Miao, what are you doing here?â Ning Le came from the other side and looked past Ming Shu.
âWhy must I tell you? Is it any of your business?â
âIâm just asking. Do you have to be so impolite?â Ning Le didnât like Ming Shuâs tone. Her thoughts of roping her into the team dampened. This girl is too powerful and hard to control. Itâs too hard to make use of her.
Ming Shu smiled and grabbed Ning Leâs elbow.
In the next second:
Ning Le felt her world spinning and she slammed into the ground.
Ming Shuâs action was so sudden and fast that Ning Le didnât have any time to react. She only regained her consciousness after falling to the ground.
Anger boiled within her as she sprung up and struck Ming Shu in the face.
Ming Shu grabbed her hand and pushed it down. She kicked her lower abdomen. Ning Le moved back. Ming Shu didnât manage to hit her.
The two of them started fighting in the corridor.
Ming Shu grabbed something and jumped up. Ning Le instinctively wanted to dodge. However, she refrained and took the full blow of Ming Shuâs attack.
Ning Le flew backward. Someone caught and held onto her.
âWhat are you doing?â Captain Fan frowned and asked.
Ji Nan kept his poker face as he watched the door open.
âWhat is this commotion about?â Xu Shuo was really irritated. âJi Nan, this is my area, who allowed them to come into my area?â
Ji Nan looked at Ning Le.
âCaptain Fan, she suddenly attacked meâŠâ Ning Le explained in a calm voice.
âYe Miao, what are you doing?â Why did she pick a fight for no reason? We are still in other peopleâs territory. Canât she hold herself back?
Ming Shu held onto her bag and raised her chin. She smiled gently. âI am fighting.â
âWe are a team now. Do you have to do this?â Captain Fan was thankful to Ming Shu because she saved him once before. However, his impression of her changed after what had happened between Ming Shu and Chen Wei.
The main reason was Ming Shuâs identity.
âYes, I do,â Ming Shu nodded her head.
If I donât attack the fake protagonist, how can I make her remember me?
Itâs all for businessâs sake!
âIâm not sure how Iâve provoked you. All I did was ask you why youâre here and you suddenly attack me?â Ning Le spoke as though she was saying the truth.
This laboratory was not her territory. If she appeared here and suddenly attacked someone, what would the others think?
As expected of an alien.
The art of speaking.
Ji Nan looked at Ming Shu with suspicion.
âJi Nan, if you donât ask them to leave now, I will take action,â Xu Shuo voiced out.
Ji Nan whispered to Captain Fan and told him that Xu Shuo was in a bad mood now. It wouldnât be easy to speak to him about anything.
âLetâs leave first and talk about it later,â Ji Nan said.
Since this was someone elseâs territory, captain Fan agreed and asked Ning Le to leave. He would settle their issue later.
âWait a minute,â Xu Shuo called them and pointed at Ming Shu. âShe stays.â
Ji Nan was displeased.
He was the one who brought them in. These people were different from the ones that came before. They didnât drag Xu Shuo away without his consent.
Xu Shuo didnât give him a chance to speak. âDonât worry, I wonât do anything to her.â
Ji Nan didnât know how much he could trust Xu Shuo. Actually, he wasnât close at all with Xu Shuo. They only got more familiar with each other after being stuck here together.
And even then, he could only say that he understood some of Xu Shuoâs habits. Xu Shuo didnât bother with him at all⊠he only looked at him whenever he needed his help.
An arrogant and aloof person.
However, he has the right to be like that.
