Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 165 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (18)

Zhang Lie: "......"

The group split up and searched the room, but unfortunately, they found nothing of use.

Ye Xin: "There's nothing special here, and he still won't let us into this room? That's so unreasonable!"

Si Yan: "Since that zombie has left, it must have packed up something important. It wouldn't really leave anything for us."

Ye Xin withdrew her hand, which had been casually rummaging through things, and nodded in agreement: "That's true."

After spending the night at the research center, when they were about to leave the next day, they immediately noticed a seven-seater SUV parked in front of the main entrance, with the car keys still on the hood.

Shi Qi immediately guessed the origin of the car and couldn't help but admire Han Xingzhi and An Xiaoran's thoughtfulness.

"My God! A car fell from the sky?!" Zhang Lie rushed over the moment he saw the car, grabbed the keys and pressed a button. The car's voice immediately responded: "My God! This car is still intact!"

Si Yan probably guessed who left the car, so he took the keys from Zhang Lie and said, "It's always good to be cautious. Let me check if there's anything wrong with the car first."

After confirming that there were no problems with the car, the team drove this "miracle car" towards their final destination, City S.

Shi Qi sat in the passenger seat, staring blankly at the scenery rushing past the window. He had been thinking the whole way about how to make up for Si Yan's lost experience points; after all, he was the one who let him escape, and he had to take responsibility.

However, if the story really follows the original plot, the next thing they'll encounter won't just be a level 7 zombie...

Thinking that she must make up for Si Yan's lost experience before arriving in S City, Shi Qi secretly slipped out that night while she was on night watch.

Following 007's directions, Shi Qi found the territory of the nearest level 7 zombie and swaggered in.

Having ruled the mountain as a level seven zombie for so long, I've never seen a "human" who exudes the aura of a level five superhuman and is so arrogant.

"Who are you? How did you find this place?" Although this person had the aura of a level 5 superpower, the fact that so many of his subordinates couldn't stop him still made this level 7 zombie a little wary.

"You don't need to know who I am. I'm just here to get something from you."

Shi Qi's voice was calm and even, yet it sent a chill down the spine of the level seven zombie who heard it. Before he could ask what Shi Qi wanted, he was speechless.

Holding the head with its clean cut at the neck, Shi Qi simply reached in and pulled out the crystal core inside.

Looking at the quality of the crystal core in his hand, Shi Qi sighed silently, thinking to himself that the quality of this crystal core was still somewhat inferior to Han Xingzhi's, which was close to level eight.

007, who had initially tried to cover his eyes with his short hands because he found the scene somewhat bloody, lowered his claws upon hearing Shi Qi's inner voice: "Master, look, is this human speech?"

Shi Qi: "Oh... so what happened?" 007: "......" He covered his face, turning his head away with a hurt expression. If he was wrong, please don't give him this cold treatment.

There was no time to care about 007's wounded heart; he grabbed the crystal core and rushed to the temporary shelter for the night.

As soon as she cautiously pushed open the door, she saw Si Yan sitting there like a ghost...

Si Yan seemed to be waiting for him. His eyes, which had been fixed on the door, shifted to the person's face as soon as he entered.

In this situation, I inexplicably thought of a wife staying up late at night, waiting sadly for her absent husband to come home. I shook my head, banishing this inappropriate thought from my mind.

If I remember correctly, he should have only been gone for twenty minutes, not twenty hours... And he only left after making sure everyone was asleep, so how come Si Yan is awake now?

Meeting Si Yan's gaze, Shi Qi walked closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Why are you awake?"

Si Yan didn't answer Shi Qi's question, but instead asked in a somewhat cold and hard voice, "Why did you go out? Was there something you had to do that made you go out at night?"

Shi Qi was rendered speechless by the three consecutive questions. Hearing his cold and hard tone, Shi Qi felt a little uneasy. He was not sure if Si Yan suspected his identity. Although he was panicking inside, Shi Qi's expression was much calmer than his inner thoughts.

"I just heard a little noise outside, so I wanted to go out and see what was going on."

Shi Qi's voice was calm, and there was no indication that he was lying. But Si Yan still didn't say anything, just looked quietly into his eyes, and a strange standoff formed between them.

After a long silence, Si Yan seemed to give in and finally looked away: "Even if you hear any noise, don't go out at night. It's dangerous outside." He didn't doubt Shi Qi's words.

"If you really need to go out, you can wake me up, and I'll go with you."

Hearing Si Yan's sincere words, Shi Qi suddenly felt that his lie was somewhat despicable, but in the end, he only trembled slightly and nodded: "I understand..."

Shi Qi sat there for a long time, but still saw that Si Yan showed no intention of continuing to sleep: "You can continue sleeping. I won't go out by myself again."

Upon hearing this, Si Yan shook his head firmly, seemingly not quite believing that Shi Qi would obediently stay put: "I'm not sleeping, I'm not sleepy right now."

"But......"

Si Yan immediately interrupted Shi Qi: "I can keep watch for you for the rest of the night, you can go back to sleep for a while."

Shi Qi really wanted to say that the last person on night watch was Si Yan, but liars are always guilty, and with Si Yan interrupting him, Shi Qi swallowed his words and could only weakly say, "Wake me up if you're sleepy..."

Then, wide awake, I lay down and curled up on the floor like a quail, pretending to be asleep.

Seeing Shi Qi's pathetic state, 007 was inexplicably spurred on: "Host, don't back down! When have you ever been so humiliated in front of this guy?! You just got back here!"

Shi Qi: "...Shut up..."

And so, Shi Qi cowardly pretended to be asleep for nearly three hours, while Si Yan sat beside him all night without sleeping. Shi Qi could even feel the occasional gaze directed at him, which gave him a chill down his spine all night long.

"Boss, did you keep watch all night last night? How come you were on watch when I was asleep and when I woke up?" Zhang Lie asked, puzzled.
