Chapter 233: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 25

Inside the apartment, Shen Yi and Su Tang exchanged glances, both seeing suspicion in each other's eyes. Shen Yi sparing Liu Nan's life didn't mean he unconditionally trusted him.

Su Tang said, "Let's make do for now. We don't have any replacements anyway." She sighed. She and Shen Yi desperately needed teammates.

The small base wasn't a place to stay long-term, and Shen Yi had no intention of remaining as its leader. So when Su Tang mentioned leaving, he had no objections. Li Ya and Mu Sha, however, were very reluctant. And then there was Ji Ke, the little apprentice Su Tang had just taken on; she hadn't even begun teaching him properly. His eyes were red from crying.

"Sister, will you come back?"

Su Tang stroked his head. He had almost fully recovered. "Yes, we'll meet again in the future."

These words finally comforted the little boy, but when he saw Shen Yi, he still pouted and said, "Uncle, you better take good care of my sister, or I won't let you off."

Shen Yi snorted, too lazy to correct the child's form of address. After all, Su Tang was his wife now.

They left the base to Wang Wei. He understood its operations better than anyone else. However, before leaving, Su Tang gave him a warning:

Don't become a second Song Wenyi.

Wang Wei agreed. They had allowed Song Wenyi to act tyrannically before because their abilities were inferior to his. In this dog-eat-dog world, no one dared to defy the strong.

Su Tang made extensive preparations before leaving the base. She had a large bag filled with potions alone. Besides various concoctions to attract zombies, she had also developed powders to repel them, though their effectiveness was limited to about three hours.

They had arrived at the base as a pair, but they left with an additional member: Liu Nan.

Liu Nan had gone from excited to exuberant. He felt they were about to embark on a grand adventure.

"Sister-in-law, where are we headed?"

Su Tang replied, "To find a research institute."

There were three research institutes in total. Besides A-sector, where Su Tang had worked, there were two others, both involved in shady dealings. If they wanted to find allies, they needed to look for those opposed to the Security Group, to avoid potential betrayal.

Liu Nan remembered that Su Tang was the top scientist in A-sector's research institute. He peppered her with questions along the way, and Su Tang answered what she could. As for Shen Yi's identity, she didn't reveal anything. However, when they reached the B-sector research institute, Su Tang couldn't help but sigh to Shen Yi, "You had the power to destroy half of A-sector back then. If only you had released those experimental subjects, maybe we'd have allies now."

But it was just a sigh. Under those circumstances, Shen Yi had been completely consumed by darkness. He wouldn't have thought of saving anyone, only destruction. Even she had been lucky to survive.

There were many radio wave receivers inside the base, but they were all located within its confines. Su Tang and Shen Yi were now wanted criminals. Entering would lead to immediate arrest, but the base was heavily guarded.

Su Tang racked her brains, then, looking at Shen Yi, she suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Uncle Shen, I've thought of a way to get in, but it might wrong you a bit."

The girl, shedding her usual coldness, smiled warmly. Shen Yi knew that her "wrong a bit" meant considerably more than that.

However, looking at her smile, he couldn't refuse. He sighed and said helplessly, "Tell me."

Su Tang explained, "When we left the research institute, even though I left with you, the surveillance data was lost. I can easily claim that you coerced me."

As long as the Security Group still believed her, Su Tang would remain the esteemed Dr. Lin. It was just that Shen Yi, having finally escaped the laboratory, would have to return.

Honestly, Su Tang knew she was wronging him, so she softened her voice, "Don't worry, I'll watch over you. I won't let anyone touch you."

Shen Yi's face remained impassive, offering no reply.

Just as Su Tang thought he wouldn't agree, he suddenly looked at her intently. "Then I'll need some compensation."

Su Tang chuckled. Even at a time like this, he didn't forget to seek benefits.

"Alright, once this is over, you can have any compensation you want."

Hearing this, the coldness around Shen Yi dissipated.

The three of them couldn't enter at the same time for fear of arousing suspicion, so they sent Liu Nan in first.

As night fell, the temperature plummeted. Su Tang was about to grab some clothes to sleep in when Shen Yi pulled her over. He flattened the car seat, but even so, it was still incredibly cramped.

"Stop messing around, it's hard to sleep like this."

Shen Yi placed Su Tang on top of him. The SUV's interior was small, making it undeniably tight.

"I'm not messing around. I won't be able to hold you like this once we're inside." He sounded slightly aggrieved.

Perhaps having witnessed so much life and death in this life, the melodramatic side of him had vanished.

The once decisive and ruthless zombie was now acting like a grievously wronged large wolfdog. Who would believe it?

Su Tang reached out and ruffled his slightly prickly black hair, soothing him, "Be good. I'll see if I can get you assigned to my side." Then, she thought of Liu Nan. He was naive, which was why Song Wenyi could easily manipulate him into almost giving his life away. "We'll try to resolve this quickly. I'm worried about Liu Nan too."

After all, he had come with her; she had to protect him.

She shouldn't have mentioned Liu Nan. Shen Yi immediately became jealous.

"A-Yang, you're thinking about another man while in my arms!"

Su Tang was amused. "So, in the future, when I go out, should I wear a headscarf, sunglasses, and cover every inch of my skin? And I should ask for your permission before leaving, or just stay locked up at home and not go anywhere?"

For a moment, Shen Yi thought it sounded like a good idea, but he quickly dismissed it.

If that were the case, it would be like hiding a pearl in dust. His brilliant scientist deserved to be admired, not locked away in a backyard, becoming an ignorant and silent beauty.

"I didn't mean that, it's just…" He didn't know how to explain. He had never been in love before and didn't know how other men reacted when their wives were angry.

So, he could only express his true feelings. "A-Yang, if I do something wrong, tell me. Don't keep it bottled up."

His apology was sincere, and Su Tang was satisfied. "Fine, then take your hand off my waist and roll over."

Shen Yi immediately played possum. He could indulge her in other things, but not this.

"I'm asleep."

Su Tang: "…"

Shen Yi spoke again, "I'm really asleep."

Su Tang: "…Shut up and sleep!"

This ferocious and ruthless man, how could he become like a three-year-old child when in love? Truly childish!

Su Tang rubbed her forehead. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep on his hard body, but when she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright.
