Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 57 (Part 2)
Now that Qiao Nian heard about Shao Yan’s situation from Shi Qin, he couldn’t believe it. So even though he wasn’t confident about going back to help Fu Xuzhou, he still agreed without hesitation.
Shi Qin suspected that what he really wanted to do was study himself and Shao Yan.
As they were talking, someone knocked at the door. Shi Qin and Cheng Yu suddenly became nervous.
Qiao Nan said directly to Chu Mu, “Husband! Go check it out!”
Chu Mu’s eyebrows twitched his, but he still got up to deal with it.
When Qiao Nan withdrew his gaze, he saw the two people looking at him with strange expressions, and Qiao Nan rarely felt a bit embarrassed.
“Don’t look at me like that, I usually don’t say such cheesy words. In fact, we are playing the role of a couple in this house and have legal identities in the base, so I have to dress up as a woman and a wife. Don’t think I have this hobby.” Qiao Nan said while pulling his skirt.
Shi Qin actually felt that Qiao Nan was quite happy playing this role.
“The base review is very strict, how could you…”
“Luck, luck, I’ve always been very lucky. One time, we encountered a few homeless people in the wilderness who took refuge in the base and had finally obtained the qualifications to be residents. When we saw them in the wild, they were surrounded by zombies on the way, so we helped them out. Unfortunately, we still couldn’t save them. In the end, we picked up a lot of identification documents. It was through those documents that we were able to avoid being searched many times.”
After a while, Chu Mu came back, and it was the people from the garrison corps who came to notify them one by one, telling the residents to be careful during this time, and to report if they encountered any strangers. They didn’t forcefully come in and search.
As soon as Cheng Yu and Shi Qin arrived, there was an accident at the base, so they will definitely be suspected. However, if they go back, they are likely to expose their flaws and be caught. If they don’t go back, it will be assumed that there is a problem.
Regarding this, Qiao Nan said, “Isn’t this great? We just need a scapegoat, so let’s just sacrifice the identity of that mysterious free hunter. You should rest here for today, wait for my arrangement tomorrow, and if needed, we will give you a new identity. It’s that simple. Anyway, don’t we still have to work together in the future?”
For now, it’s their common goal to revisit the research centre.
After the agreement was reached, Qiao Nan specially arranged a room for them.
I don’t know if Qiao Nan was deliberately teasing them, or if he understood that neither of them fully trusts each other, but he knows that Shi Qin and Cheng Yu will not stay apart.
Before entering the room, they watched Qiao Nan and Chu Mu enter the bedroom together. The two of them weren’t too surprised, but they clearly realized the relationship between the other two people. Those two are really a couple, a couple who sleeps together…
Sitting on the bed, Shi Qin naturally checked Cheng Yu’s body to see if there were any injuries. After confirming that everything was fine, they discussed the identities of Qiao Nan and Chu Mu for a while. In fact, after knowing that Chu Mu was one Ice Blade, Shi Qin completely trusted this man, but Cheng Yu still retained basic vigilance.
While chatting, Shi Qin fell asleep because of mental exhaustion.
Cheng Yu didn’t fall asleep all night, but looked at Shi Qin in a daze, his eyes always drifting towards his lips inadvertently.
It wasn’t until he heard Shi Qin muttering something in his sleep because of a nightmare that he realised that he was too close, almost close to the lips. Seeing Shi Qin’s frightened expression in his sleep, Cheng Yu stretched out his hand to pat him lightly, and didn’t take his hand back until Shi Qin fell asleep peacefully again.
The next day, Shi Qin woke up feeling a bit uncomfortable, and he didn’t even feel happy when he saw that the plot had progressed by two points. He had a terrible nightmare, all because of seeing the box last night.
Cheng Yu still woke up earlier than him, and his whole person looked listless.
Shi Qin knew that Cheng Yu must be too vigilant and didn’t sleep well, so he suggested letting him sleep for a while.
But Cheng Yu didn’t want to sleep anymore.
After the two went out, they found that Chu Mu and Qiao Nan were already in the living room downstairs.
Chu Mu was cooking and Qiao Nan was putting on makeup. Seeing them coming down, he smiled and said, “Good Morning, did you sleep well last night? Breakfast will be ready soon.”
When others were friendly towards him, Shi Qin would also respond friendly, and then a weird conversation began.
Apparently the other party wanted to know as much as possible about all the habits of zombies like Shi Qin.
Until breakfast, the questions didn’t stop. In the end, it was Chu Mu who talked about the serious business, and Shi Qin escaped from the weird questioning like a monk chanting sutras. He glanced at Chu Mu gratefully, and Chu Mu seemed to be used to it.
This Qiao Nan is really good at talking, not even giving people a chance to catch their breath.
Even Cheng Yu’s face was pale when he heard it, as if he had suffered some invisible attack. The problem was that this Qiao Nian still had a smiling face and greeted him politely, so Cheng Yu really couldn’t reach out to hit a smiling person.
Chu Mu started talking about the monitoring.
It is said that Qiao Nan was approached by a staff member of the research centre when he was wearing women’s clothing. Chu Mu stepped forward to beat up the man who was flirting with his wife, and took the opportunity to install a bug in the other party’s briefcase during the fight.
And this time is exactly when the staff member goes to work.
You can hear the latest news, which is much safer and more accurate than going to the street to inquire.
Afterwards, they listened for three full hours before collecting some useful information intermittently.
However, the situation doesn’t seem very friendly to them.
There was a commotion last night, and everyone in the base was talking about it. However, they didn’t detect any fluctuations due to the use of the mental power, and the guards at the gate were also very strict. Of course, they didn’t know that there was such a thing as a masking agent, and they also had no idea that a zombie could act like a human, so the possibility of the awakeners sneaking in was completely ruled out.
Moreover, the infiltration is discovered at the bottom layer, which contains all the latest research results and secret research that is not available for everyone to see. It could be said that the most valuable commodity in the last days is the scientific research of various bases, so the possibility of spies lurking in the research institute is also quite high. In the end, the people in the research centre probably thought that other bases must have sent someone to steal their research results.
So they not only plan to increase the defense of the research center, but also plan to transfer the captured awakeners to the Wo-3 General Base.
“If you don’t take action tonight, you will miss your chance to find someone,” Chu Mu said.
“If we get intercepted on the way…” Cheng Yu frowned and thought.
“Impossible. Every time they bring in and out the awakeners, they are more cautious than when arresting them. They are all personally picked up and escorted by the Holy Army at the general base. There were several batches that were transferred in this way before.”
“That mean the person we are looking for may have already been transferred?” Shi Qin exclaimed in surprise.
“After the people from Crescent Moon arrived, they were only transferred once. I don’t know if the person you are looking for is included in that batch.” Qiao Nan said.
This is really a troublesome situation.
“If you still insist on finding someone, I have a plan.” Qiao Nan said, “Let us go there one last time, we will look for our information, and you can look for your people. If everything can be done quietly, I guarantee that we can get out of here safely. But there is only one chance, do you want to give it a try?”
“Tell me about your plan first.” Cheng Yu was more cautious.
As soon as Qiao Nan began to explain, Chu Mu became angry, but in the end, he was pressed down by a kiss. Finally, he rationally admitted that this plan is indeed feasible, or rather the safest and only promising plan.
Cheng Yu and Shi Qin agreed. Although Chu Mu was not happy, he still said: “Don’t mess around, I will keep an eye on you at all times.”
Qiao Nan agreed wholeheartedly, without feeling aggrieved at all, on the contrary, he was full of challenge and excitement.
“Alright, now that it’s confirmed, I will give you guys new identities. I sorted it out last night, and now there are two sets of identities for you to use: father and son, or husband and wife. Choose one set.”
“Father and son.” Shi Qin instinctively avoided another option.
I want to be the hero’s father, call him father! ! ! !
Cheng Yu looked at Shi Qin and didn’t speak.
Qiao Nan said with a smile: “But I only know how to dress up as a woman, not as an old man. To be on the safe side, it’s better to choose the identity of the husband and wife.”
Shi Qin: …Then why did you say there’s a choice?
“Alright.” After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he looked at Shi Qin.
Shi Qin glanced at Cheng Yu, “I don’t want to pretend to be a girl!”
“A short girl won’t attract attention, right?” Qiao Nan said.
Shi Qin felt that he was being bullied, but there was no evidence, so he could only look at Cheng Yu aggrieved.
This time Cheng Yu didn’t help Shi Qin because he wanted to see it too.
He wanted to know if he would feel differently when he saw Shi Qin in women’s clothing, so as to help him confirm certain things.
