Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 10
Cheng Yu led his team members to take advantage of scattered zombies to dispose of the dead body of the guard, and brought back a blood-stained orange scarf, which is kind of a status symbol and has the guard’s name on it. He doesn’t know if the guard has any relatives at the base.
Back in the laboratory, Tang Sien and Bai Xiao were waiting for them.
“I heard that all of you haven’t had lunch yet, food has been prepared in the cafeteria. It may take some time in the laboratory so you should eat first.” Bai Xiao’s gentle gaze swept over everyone, and they immediately thanked her and walked to the cafeteria.
Cheng Yu and Guo Yi were one step behind.
Bai Xiao looked at them, suddenly smiled brightly, and said in a friendly tone, “I didn’t expect this trip to be so coincidental, that it will be you who came to pick us up. It feels like we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I was really afraid of recognizing the wrong person just now. Both of you have changed a lot.”
Cheng Yu nodded, and looked at Bai Xiao with a sigh “When I saw the list, I was also a little surprised that the administrator was willing to let you out.”
“Why do you assume the administrator to be a villain, and here she still wants you to call her aunt.” Bai Xiao smiled sweetly, and couldn’t help but look at Cheng Yu “You haven’t seen me for a year, can’t I grow up a bit? No one in this era is qualified to live in a safe house forever.”
Bai Xiao has a high awareness of her surroundings, and never indulges herself because she is a woman and the only daughter of the top leader of the base. Instead, she studied hard since she was a child, firmly embarked on the path of a scientist, and worked hard to find a way out for all human beings. She is the kind of woman who doesn’t give up on her dreams.
“After I entered the closed training with Cheng Yu, there was no news from the outside world. As soon as I came out, I heard that you have become the dean’s deputy of the Academy of Sciences. You really have worked hard.” Guo Yi praised, but his eyes had already drifted to Tang Sien.
Guo Yi thought that Tang Sien’s silence was because she was unhappy about what happened before, so he couldn’t help comforting her.
But Tang Sien didn’t want to talk to him, she even forgot about that incident and didn’t care about it for a long time. Now she is not happy to see that Cheng Yu and Bai Xiao’s relationship is so good. She always feels that Cheng Yu’s attitude towards Bai Xiao and her is completely different. He hasn’t looked at her once until now.
Tang Sien stopped unhappily, and only Guo Yi stopped for her. The two people in front didn’t pay attention to them at all, and left while talking.
Tang Sien stomped his feet angrily.
“What’s wrong?”
“Brother Cheng Yu is angry with me, and he is ignoring me.”
Guo Yi glanced at the two people walking away, his eyes darkened, “How could it be, the two of them haven’t seen each other for a long time, they missed each other and have a lot to talk about, so naturally they don’t care about other people around them. After all, their relationship is more intimate.”
Tang Sien’s expression changed immediately, “No, they are just friends!” After speaking, she immediately chased after them angrily.
Guo Yi frowned slightly, but still followed.
But when he got to the cafeteria, he didn’t find Cheng Yu’s figure, and Bai Xiao was sitting with others and asking about some situations.
When he walked up to her, he found out that Cheng Yu had just taken the food and went straight to the laboratory.
“Why did he go there? Didn’t he just bring in a zombie? Call him out.” Tang Sien was afraid of zombies and didn’t want to approach the laboratory at all.
Seeing that Tang Sien was not happy, Bai Xiao patted Tang Sien on the head and said: “Okay, be good, everyone is new here and you are not familiar with this place, so don’t run around. When I am free in the evening, I will find Cheng Yu to catch up with you.”
“He is looking for Dr. Tang?” Guo Yi changed the subject.
Bai Xiao said: “He said he was a little worried, so he went to take a look.”
“Who is he worried about?” Guo Yi froze for a moment.
Bai Xiao looked at him inexplicably, “Dr. Tang and the others, although the zombie said that he has human consciousness, if it went out of control, it would be dangerous. He has always been serious in his work, so naturally he will be worried.”
Guo Yi was at a loss for words for a while, he had a whimsical idea just now, thinking that what Cheng Yu was worried about would be the zombie.
…
Cheng Yu came outside the laboratory, gnawed on the bread, and looked at the situation inside through the glass.
Shi Qin was lying on a chair and couldn’t see outside. His neck and limbs were all tied up, especially tight around his neck, because they were afraid that he would suddenly bite someone. He tried to chat with other experimenters, but those experimenters couldn’t see him as a normal human being, after all, his eyes were scary and his voice was weird.
After the communication failed, Shi Qin could only turn his eyes around in disappointment, and when he saw a syringe approaching him, he closed his eyes tightly, as if a child was afraid of injections.
Although the zombie’s stiff muscles couldn’t make any rich expressions, Cheng Yu could still see the helpless emotion after being pricked in his body.
It seems that the worry I just had was unnecessary, this guy adapted better than he imagined.
Shi Qin is not like a zombie, everyone has seen this, but Cheng Yu feels that he is even less like a person who has experienced the end of the world, and his attitude always has an atmosphere of staying out of it.
In the face of all the situations in front of him, from the moment we met him, we can say that he cooperated unexpectedly, as if he already knew what he would experience. If ordinary people are treated like this suddenly after losing their memory, even if they know the current affairs and accepted their faith of being a zombie, one shouldn’t be so peaceful and accepting about it.
Shi Qin was very strange, but Cheng Yu felt that he was not a threat.
Cheng Yu was about to leave, but saw Bai Xiao and Captain Jiang walking over. Jiang Fu came to Cheng Yu and Dr. Tang to discuss the next arrangement. If they were allowed to continue to study, it would be difficult to start at night, and the task of returning to the base would also be delayed.
Bai Xiao called out Dr. Tang to explain the situation, but Dr. Tang was determined to make full use of the research equipment here on Shi Qin, so he hurried, but they still would not be able to leave until tomorrow morning.
Cheng Yu said that there was no problem with the time. Captain Jiang took a look at Cheng Yu and didn’t understand why he was talking big. How could we reach in time? Now we have been delayed for half a day from the original plan. If we wait until tomorrow morning, we will definitely not be able to complete the task, but he still didn’t refute Cheng Yu.
“Dr. Tang, what’s the situation with that zombie?” Captain Jiang asked.
When it came to this, Dr. Tang was visibly excited and trembled when he spoke.
“The virus content in his body is very small, almost half of the current zombie body, which is probably the reason why he was able to regain consciousness, and there is also a surprising fact that the virus content in his body was unexpectedly showing a decreasing trend, so subtle that it must be detected with high-precision instruments.”
“Really?” Bai Xiao was stunned. At first she guessed that it was a kind of zombie mutation. After all, the news that zombies have evolved to become smarter has been frequently reported recently, which is not a good thing, so she is not as excited as Dr. Tang to study Shi Qin. But she didn’t expect the situation to be like this.
Dr. Tang nodded, “I see the hope that human beings can overcome the virus. There must be some kind of antibody hidden in his body!”
The expressions on the faces of Bai Xiao and Cheng Yu suddenly became shocking and serious.
Captain Jiang’s eyes lit up. It seems that even if the task is not completed on time, it will be fine. It is already a great achievement for their team to pick up Shi Qin!
“So, will he completely turn back into a human one day?” Cheng Yu asked suddenly.
Dr. Tang froze for a moment, he did not expect to be asked this question, who cares whether he can become a human being, what Dr Tang cares about is whether he can find antibodies.
“In principle, yes.”
Cheng Yu’s expression changed slightly, as if it softened a lot. “That’s fine.”
Bai Xiao gave Cheng Yu a strange look, only to see that Cheng Yu was looking at Shi Qin in the glass room.
After Dr. Tang finished speaking, he asked Bai Xiao to go in together to speed up the progress of the research.
Captain Jiang went back to inform the team members of the next arrangement, Cheng Yu thought about it, and followed the doctor into the laboratory.
In the laboratory, seeing the scene of the hero and heroine coming in together, Shi Qin immediately felt that all the hard work was worth it.
He was pierced with a lot of needles. Although it didn’t hurt, it made him dizzy from the needles.
Seeing the male lead approaching, Shi Qin took a closer look. Fortunately, he didn’t appear to be in a bad mood. In the original plot, when the male lead was in a bad mood, Huo Zixuan was given a chance to sneak in.
How can he prevent such a thing from happening?
“Thank you just now.” Cheng Yu said suddenly.
Shi Qin froze for a moment, but didn’t react for a while.
“Thank you for saving Yin Changlin, that kid is only 17 years old this year.” Cheng Yu didn’t continue, but there was a soft expression on his face.
Shi Qin pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, trying to smile, “You’re welcome.”
Of course he must be rescued, because he remembered that when Cheng Yu became an awakened person in the plot, if Yin Changlin was still by his side, he would definitely speak for him. Unfortunately, the little boy who trusted and admired him the most encountered zombies on the road to the laboratory and died in battle.
Shi Qin was sure that if Yin Changlin died, he would definitely hear the system broadcast of Cheng Yu’s blackening +1. Fortunately, he was resourceful and thought of it early, and successfully rescued the kid, which is equivalent to giving the future blackened Cheng Yu a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, while reading the test report, Dr. Tang said to Cheng Yu: “Send someone from your team to cooperate with our work.”
Cheng Yu said: “I’ll do it.”
“Aren’t you the deputy head? Don’t you need to arrange other work?” Dr. Tang looked him up and down and said, “Here you need to directly watch the zombie.”
The implication is obvious. They are scientists and cannot take risks. Some jobs are best suited for people who are better at dealing with zombies. Cheng Yu’s status… is known to others. In the last days, maximizing the value of each person is the smartest and most beneficial way for mankind as a whole.
Bai Xiao, who was adjusting the reagent, glanced at Cheng Yu hesitantly.
“With the captain here, you don’t need anyone else for the time being. And… I’m more familiar with him, so it’s more convenient.” Cheng Yu said.
Shi Qin’s eyes lit up suddenly, hey, that’s not bad… If Cheng Yu has been helping in the laboratory, I can keep an eye on him, well done, Old Tang!
Dr. Tang didn’t try to persuade him any more, “That’s okay, strip him off first!”
Cheng Yu: …
Shi Qin: Old Tang! ! ! ! !
“Because in some tests, it is inconvenient to wear clothes.” Bai Xiao explained
“I can take it off myself!”
“He can take it off by himself.”
The two spoke at the same time, preserving Shi Qin’s last human dignity.
“Are you asking us to pull out all the needles on his body, then take off his clothes and plug them in again?” Dr. Tang said angrily, “Don’t waste resources and time, we can’t stop collecting data!”
Shi Qin naturally didn’t want to turn into a hedgehog repeatedly, and obviously these people would not listen to his request, so he could only look at Cheng Yu in despair.
Cheng Yu looked at Shi Qin in embarrassment, and had no choice but to change into protective clothing, and took the scissors brought by the experimenter. The clothes Shi Qin Xin changed before were also dirty because of encountering zombies. Cheng Yu’s technique was quick, Shi Qin almost couldn’t feel the touch of the scissors, and the jacket and pants were striped.
Shi Qin didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt cold and his sense of shame rose “Well… at least keep a pair of underpants, there are still girls here.”
Cheng Yuzheng hesitated, and looked at the doctor when he heard the words “What do you think?”
Fortunately, this time Old Tang still had a little bottom line, so he left him a pair of underpants.
Later, Shi Qin was irradiated by various instruments.
Cheng Yu retreated behind the crowd, and Bai Xiao stood beside him.
“You… seem to care about him very much, he is a zombie…” Bai Xiao hesitated.
Cheng Yu said with an unchanged expression: “He just saved my team member, and he may turn back into a human in the future, even if he is a zombie, he has always been like this and never threatened humans.”
Bai Xiao smiled helplessly, shook his head, and still kindly reminded: “Don’t put too much emotion into it, I know you are a person who values affection, but he is a zombie, and the virus level in his body will change when the doctor said it will, the possibility of recovery is actually very small, after all, he is no longer in the same category as humans, maybe he will be needed in future experiments, even if he will not hurt people, or…really turned back into a human being. For the hope of mankind as a whole, he must be dedicated and be ready to sacrifice.”
Everyone who did the experiment knew it well, so no one would communicate with Shi Qin to avoid having feelings, just like the people who did the experiment would never have feelings for the rabbits and mice in the laboratory.
Cannon fodder like Shi Qin who is destined to contribute to the overall situation and the plot is not even worthy of a name in the original work. If you die like this, readers won’t even think twice about him.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, he knew what Bai Xiao was reminding him, and also knew that she had good intentions, so he didn’t refute, but there was always a trace of resistance in his heart.
After tossing and turning for several hours, Shi Qin felt that he was exhausted, and it was really uncomfortable to be treated as a test subject.
Soon Dr. Tang changed another play.
Shi Qin heard some nails and teeth in a trance, and then realized that someone was cutting his hair on top of his head.
Cheng Yu also came up with a knife.
Shi Qin looked at him suspiciously, and saw Cheng Yu took hold of one of his hands, grabbed it and began to trim his nails.
Shi Qin’s slender hand was wrapped by Cheng Yu’s big and hard hand. With a light pinch, his hand bones were propped up and turned into a more favorable angle for him to cut his nails. He did it seriously, and with one stroke of the sharp knife, the crescent-shaped nail fell off.
“One will do.” Someone reminded.
“It’s too long, there is a possibility of accidentally scratching someone…..” Cheng Yu said lightly, and simply trimmed them all.
At that time, Shi Qin realized that this scene was like the scene of trimming the cat’s claws before neutering it.
When Shi Qin looked at it, it was quite neat and tidy.
After enjoying the manicure service given by the hero, Bai Xiao handed Cheng Yu a pair of pliers.
Shi Qin froze for a moment.
“One is enough, the anesthetic is not effective for him, you have to be careful not to be bitten by him.”
“He won’t bite.”
When Shi Qin rolled his eyes, he suddenly had an ominous premonition, and soon his premonition came true, the hero actually stretched out a devil’s hand to his mouth.
Before Shi Qin could say his refusal, he heard Bai Xiao say: “Just pull out the front teeth, it’s safer.”
Shi Qin: … NO! ! ! ! ! ! I don’t want to pull my teeth! ! ! ! !
TL Note:
-Well, Shi Qin managed to keep his underpants…..lol
-He doesn’t want to be an ugly zombie without front teeth…😂
