Chapter 164 - Zombie Note (33)

Two months later…

Xu Shuo handed two glass bottles filled with green liquid to Ye Ji’an.

Ye Ji’an was excited. “Is this… the antidote?”

He knew that Xu Shuo could definitely figure out the antidote.

“Nope.”

This single word instantly killed Ye Ji’an’s enthusiasm. “Then… what’s this?”

“Something that can strengthen the powers of X-men.” Xu Shuo yawned lazily.

Startled a little, Ye Ji’an couldn’t help but hold the glass bottles tightly in his hands.

In the past two months, the X-men’s strength had been greatly improved, but the zombies evolved even faster than them.

“When can you produce the antidote?” Ye Ji’an was still very concerned about this issue.

As long as they had an antidote, the zombies would cease to exist…

“I’m already working on it. I can help you with the antidote, but you have to promise me something.”

Ye Ji’an’s mood soared again. “Just tell me, what’s your condition?”

“I want to marry Ye Miao.”

“What?” Ye Ji’an thought he had heard wrong.

“I want to marry Ye Miao,” Xu Shuo repeated.

“Miao Miao?” Ye Ji’an looked at Xu Shuo as if looking at a psychopath. Was he crazy? Weren’t he and Miao Miao quarreling all the time? As long as they were in each other’s presence, things would be turned upside down.

“If you’re worried that there’s no guarantee of the future, you can rest assured. Your value and ability is your trump card. Even if I’m not there to protect you, no one will do anything to you.”

After pondering for a while, Ye Ji’an could only assume that Xu Shuo was asking this for his own safety.

“I know that.” Genius Xu took it for granted. “But I’m talking about the antidote.”

“But you and Miao Miao…”

Ye Ji’an was very busy every day, but when he returned home occasionally, the only scene awaiting him there was a mess left by two people.

Despite repeated prohibitions.

“Don’t you think it’s a sign of a good relationship, Mr. Ye? Have you seen her so close to any other boys? She has a harsh mouth and is not willing to admit it. But I know she has me in her heart.” Xu Shuo began to talk nonsense, even though he didn’t believe it himself.

Ye Ji’an: “…” I don’t think so.

He believed his daughter hated the boy in front of him.

“Mister Xu Shuo, the antidote is for all of humanity…”

“Unless I marry Ye Miao, no way.” Xu Shuo ended the discussion.

It doesn’t matter if we don’t have feelings for each other. All I need to do is bind her to my side, and the feelings will grow.

He was so handsome. That psychopath would love him one day.

Ye Ji’an was silent for a long time. Then he agreed to ask Ming Shu’s opinion.

Unsurprisingly, Ming Shu refused before Ye Ji’an could even finish his sentence.

Ye Ji’an agreed earlier to arrange Ming Shu to be Xu Shuo’s assistant. That was because it did no harm to his daughter.

But now he was requesting to marry his daughter…

This was not a decision he could make alone.

Ming Shu refused. So then Ye Ji’an had to find an excuse to decline Xu Shuo.

But before Ye Ji’an thought about how to say this, Ming Shu changed her mind. She agreed to marry Xu Shuo.

Ye Ji’an: “…”

And thus two psychopaths with their own evil plans were engaged.

Although it was Doomsday, the ceremony couldn’t be done casually. They took time to prepare the wedding.

“Why’s it so busy?” someone asked curiously.

“Are you new here? Our commander’s daughter is getting married.” The person answering the question sounded a little disdainful.

“In Doomsday, getting married?” The fist person doubted it.

“What do you know. Everyone lives in tension and horror all day long, now finally there is such a happy event. We can take the chance to relax a little bit.”

“Oh…” That person parted from the crowd and walked away with a hand covering his face.

It was no other than Ning Le who sneaked into the base. She came back for Aunt Ning.

She would take Aunt Ning out of here.

Grasping a chance when Ming Shu and Xu Shuo were not at home, Ning Le went up to the building to find Aunt Ning.

But no one was there. Aunt Ning’s room was cleaned up, and her things were gone.

Ning Le sensed something bad must’ve happened.

She asked all around yet got nothing. After many inquiries, she was finally informed that Aunt Ning was already dead.

The truth was nowhere to be found. It must be that woman! Ning Le pinned this on Ming Shu without any hesitation.

She was taking the blame for others. Even if Ming Shu didn’t want it, the Harmony System would persuade her to take it—as long as it got them Hatred Points.

…

The wedding was held one month later.

The commander invited a large number of guests.

With all the people in the base, this wedding was extremely lively.

Being the bridegroom, Xu Shuo drove to Ye Ji’an’s house to pick up the bride.

As soon as his car stopped, he saw a man rushing down.

“The bride is gone!”

That person ran to Xu Shuo. “Mr. Xu, the bride is gone.”

Xu Shuo was not angry at all. He even wanted to laugh.

He had been watching her for a long time; after all, he never expected she would agree to marry him so easily. But in the past few days, Ming Shu didn’t act abnormally at all. She was either eating or eating a lot.

It seemed she wasn’t planning anything.

Who knew that on the wedding day she would go missing.

What a shot right to the heart!

MMP, I’m going to kill her.

Hearing the news, Ye Ji’an strode through the crowd. “What happened? Why is Miao Miao missing?”

That person shivered. “This morning we came to make a dress for Miss Ye. She said she would use the washroom for a while, but then… she never came back.”

When they went to check the washroom, there was no one there.

“Have you searched everywhere?”

“Yes. We didn’t find her.”

Ye Ji’an frowned slightly. Why did Miao Miao run from the marriage at this time?

He looked at Xu Shuo, who seemed to have been scared numb. But actually, he was just trying hard to prevent himself from exploding with anger.

“I didn’t quarrel with her. I haven’t seen her these past few days.” Xu Shuo knew what Ye Ji’an was thinking and he explained.

“Could it be that something happened to Miao Miao?” Ye Ji’an got a little worried.

“She fled on purpose.” Xu Shuo was very sure. “To embarrass me.”

Who can do anything to her?

She just wants to piss me off.

She wishes!

Humph, this flimsy trick, I won’t take the bait!

I’m not angry.

I’m not angry.

[Lord Nine, put away your sword.]

Xu Shuo asked the system for information, gnashing his teeth.

[Lord Nine, this… I don’t know.]

Why don’t you know? Aren’t you a super system that claims to be omnipotent in this universe?

[Cough… This task is different from previous ones. I can’t locate the mission target. Lord Nine, you are on your own now, so go ahead.] The system answered him in a weak voice. Then the connection was cut.

“…”

Good, very good, now even my system is against me.

All traitors!

Xu Shuo covered his face. Calm down, calm down, I’m not going to kill anyone, peace and love, peace…

After a moment, he looked up. “Mr. Ye, since Ye Miao is missing, I will postpone the marriage. I can wait.”

She wants to get rid of me. Never!

Ye Ji’an thought Xu Shuo would break off the engagement. Who knew he’d only postpone it.

Ye Ji’an really couldn’t understand these young people nowadays.
