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

Chapter 164 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (17)

While this action is indeed related to you, wasn't the first thing you did upon waking up to be embraced? What kind of behavior is this, crying wolf like a thief?!

Shi Qi felt like she had a lot of unspeakable bitterness, but while she could vent her frustrations in her heart, she couldn't let her persona crumble.

He blinked a few times, looking somewhat bewildered, and frowned slightly: "What... in my arms?" Then, as if only then realizing their intimate actions, he suddenly stood up.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how this happened either." Shi Qi paused, then seemed to have thought of a crucial question: "But... how did we suddenly fall asleep?"

Si Yan sat up along with Shi Qi, glanced at his teammates who were still unconscious, and said his thoughts: "I guess this is the ability of that advanced zombie..."

Shi Qi: "But why did he make us fall asleep? He didn't seem to do anything to us while we were asleep."

What Shi Qi said was exactly what Si Yan wanted to know.

However, before Si Yan could continue thinking, he saw Shi Qi pointing to a certain spot, saying with a slightly shocked tone, "Isn't that... the plant we're looking for?"

Following the direction Shi Qi was pointing, Si Yan saw the container holding the plant on the table.

His eyes widened slightly, but before he could say anything, a surprised and delighted voice came from nearby: "That's it! How did it end up here?!"

Jiang Weilan, who had just regained consciousness, immediately saw what he had been searching for all these days. Perhaps because he had just woken up, his body was working faster than his brain. At this moment, his hand was almost touching the container on the table.

"Wait!" Si Yan stopped him in time: "It appeared here as soon as I woke up. We're not sure if it's a trap or not. Don't touch it yet."

Jiang Weilan was abruptly interrupted, weakly withdrew her hand, and straightened her expression, saying, "I was indeed impulsive... But if it's a trap, isn't it too obvious to place it here?"

Shi Qi remained silent. While caution was a good thing, wasn't it a bit excessive at this point? Unless it was coated with a potent poison, what kind of container could harm a superhuman?

As the three of them stared at the plant on the table in silence, a hand suddenly entered their field of vision.

"Hey? I found the plant Dr. Jiang mentioned, boss!" Zhang Lie held the container in his hand, his words filled with undisguised excitement.

Shi Qi stared at Zhang Lie's hand holding the container, a barely perceptible sense of satisfaction hidden in his eyes, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart: What a great national wingman!

Under the intense gaze of the three people, Zhang Lie, who had been in high spirits, suddenly became a little embarrassed. He subconsciously scratched his head and slowly put down the container in his hand: "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

After staring at Zhang Lie nervously for a long time, Si Yan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhang Lie was alright: "It's nothing. Don't touch things randomly in the future. At least think before you touch them."

"Huh?" Zhang Lie was completely baffled, stunned by what Si Yan said.

Jiang Weilan, who sensed that Si Yan's words also subtly addressed her own feelings: "..."

Ye Xin and Ling Wei, who had just woken up, also spotted the things on the table at a glance: "Boss, you found the things while we were asleep? That's so efficient!"

Si Yan: "We didn't find it; it appeared here on its own. Or to put it another way, it's very likely that the high-level zombie delivered it here itself."

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand." Ye Xin even wondered if she was still half asleep and had misheard.

But the next moment, Shi Qi, who was next to him, shook his head: "Although it is a guess, it is very likely; moreover, it is not just the two of you who are asleep."

Si Yan nodded: "It's just that you woke up the latest. Considering the sudden appearance of the plant, I'm almost certain that we were unknowingly affected by that zombie's ability and fell into a deep sleep."

Zhang Lie: "Holy crap! This zombie is too strong! Even you, boss, didn't realize you'd fallen into its trap."

Ling Wei: "Then we're still fine now, does that mean he doesn't have any ill intentions towards us?"

Si Yan nodded to her. For now, that was the only thought they could have, given how unusual the situation was. "Put the plant away," he said to Ling Wei.

Ye Xin: "We've found the items. Should we leave now, or stay here and see if there's anything we can use?"

Hearing Ye Xin's words, Zhang Lie looked at her with admiration: "My sister Xin is really something! She dares to covet other people's things despite such a huge disparity in strength. I admire her!" As he spoke, he bowed to her.

Ye Xin rolled her eyes: "Get lost! Don't think I don't understand your sarcasm!"

"You can stay."

Suddenly, Shi Qi's voice rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"What do you mean by that, Brother Shi?" Zhang Lie asked.

Shi Qi explained, "Besides the sounds from our side, I can't hear any other creatures' movements anymore. That zombie must have left."

Zhang Lie: "Why is he leaving? Is he just going to leave the research center to us like this?"

"Or did he do us a favor?"

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately thought of what Han Xingzhi had said to Jiang Weilan, and instantly, everyone's eyes turned to him again.

Jiang Weilan was stunned for a moment, then her expression darkened, and she silently stabbed Zhang Lie in the heart:

However, Si Yan didn't want to dwell on that for the time being. He simply said, "Everyone, let's split up and see if there's anything we can use here. If there are no special circumstances, we'll meet up here in two hours."

Despite saying they were "going their separate ways," the group still stood in front of the door that Han Xingzhi had previously forbidden them from entering, quite tacitly agreeing to do so.

Si Yan led the way by pushing open the door, revealing the entire room and the rather conspicuous bed.

As Zhang Lie touched the bed, he commented, "This zombie really knows how to enjoy life. In this kind of world, it still has to have such a big bed."

Then he turned to look at Ling Wei behind him and said, "Why don't we bring this bed with us? That way we'll have a big bed to keep us company when we're sleeping in the wilderness. Just thinking about it makes me feel great!"

"..." For a moment, the scene was completely silent, as if no one wanted to pay attention to his suggestion.

Finally, it was "Boss" Si Yan who spoke up: "Alright, shut up, stop spouting nonsense that makes people speechless every day!"

Zhang Lie pouted, looking aggrieved: "I was just trying to lighten the mood..."

Nobody cares.
