Qiao Yue lowered her head and dealt with the work in her hands mechanically. The sound of Mu Tang's footsteps made her uneasy.

Now she was no longer sure whether calling Mu Tang over was the right choice.

"That..." Mu Tang's hesitant voice sounded behind her.

Qiao Yue's scalp went numb and she quickly turned around:

"What's wrong?!"

This sound was almost shouted. Mu Tang was startled by her sudden attitude. She silently put "Can I go first" back in her throat, glanced left and right, and pointed casually.

The transparent freezer on the counter next to it:

"What's this?"

"Do not move!"

Qiao Yue's face changed, and she walked over quickly regardless of the fear in her heart:

"This is a toxin sample."

Mu Tang tilted his head: "Toxin?" Then he thought of something and blurted out:

"Is it insect poison? The one in the base tomorrow."

Qiao Yue carefully checked the samples in the freezer and nodded silently, her expression a little sad.

"Yes, these samples were collected from Feng Lai at different times, and there is only one copy of each."

Feng Lai has been unconscious and has a low-grade fever. The medics can conclude that it is because of the mutated toxin of the centipede.

They have tried all the serums in the base, but all have had little effect.

There was no one in the base who could detoxify, so she could only keep the samples and study them herself.

It's a pity that she is not good at biological toxins, and she had very little contact with them before. Now suddenly studying this is just a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to make any progress.

Qiao Yue actually had given up hope in her heart, but now she just thought she could delay it for one day.

If there is someone in this base who can detoxify...

Qiao Yue's obscure gaze fell on Mu Tang, and then she shook her head with a wry smile.

She couldn't help Mu Tang regain her memory. Even if she could, for Feng Lai to restore Mu Tang's memory, Qiao Yue felt that she was not ready to sacrifice herself for love.

Moreover, it may not be a good thing for Feng Lai to wake up.

"I need a position..." Qiao Yue muttered to herself.

"What's your position?" Mu Tang asked curiously.

Qiao Yue turned back and looked Mu Tang up and down, a hint of jealousy suddenly appeared in her eyes:

"You don't need to, because for you, only others ask you, and you don't have to be as trembling as I am."

Feng Lai had repeatedly confirmed that she could develop the antibody, so he risked everyone's lives to save her.

The reason why she is being treated like this here is because they believe she can develop antibodies.

But only she knew that she was really at the end of her rope, and even the inactivating injection was made because of the document bag she secretly hid.

Feng Lai is different from everyone else. If he wakes up, he will definitely keep asking her when the antibodies will come out for the sake of the comrades who lost their lives because of his decision.

As time goes by, some people will definitely start to question her, and over time the position she finally gained will collapse.

Seeing her completely immersed in her own world, Mu Tang felt that she was so bored that she spit out the words she just swallowed:

"Um...I don't think you need my help very much. Can I go?"

Qiao Yue came back to her senses and a stiff smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"Okay, then you go back first."

Mu Tang immediately opened the door and couldn't wait to go out. Before leaving, she thoughtfully closed the door for Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue stood behind and watched her figure disappear behind the door panel, her hands behind her back unconsciously clenched into fists.

…

Mu Tang left the scientific research department and began her aimless wandering again, unknowingly wandering into a civilian area.

A series of accidents happened on the way to the base. Mu Tang actually didn't have a good impression of these survivors, so he never took the initiative to contact them even when he arrived at the base.

This time she was just wandering around unconsciously. When she realized what she was doing, there were already two children standing in front of her, holding balls and looking at her curiously.

The two children stood two meters away from Mu Tang, looking at her and whispering:

"...Are you sure it's her?"

"That's right, it's her, I will never mistake it!!"

The two children looked Mu Tang up and down, and Mu Tang took a step back warily.

Her impression of human cubs still stuck with those children in the wood factory. These little things only looked cute on the outside, but in fact they were cold and ungrateful!

After a while, the two children seemed to have finally finished their discussion and ran over holding the ball!

Mu Tang silently took a step back, and then took several steps back...

"Hey, why are you running?" The tall child noticed that she wanted to run, so he quickly ran over and grabbed Mu Tang's clothes!

The smaller one also ran to them panting with the ball in his arms and his short legs.

Mu Tang stood there nervously, looking at the two children as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The tall man noticed her eyes and asked strangely:

"Why are you nervous? We are just two children. You can slap us both away. There is no need to be afraid -"

The little one next to him suddenly tugged on the tall man's sleeve:

"Brother Yun, why do you want to teach her to beat us? Haven't you been beaten enough by your mother? She broke the stick last time!!"

The child named "Brother Yun" suddenly became unnatural, and without thinking, he patted the little one on the forehead:

"What are you talking about? My mother never hit me at all. You must have seen it wrong!"

"No, I saw it just right, your face turned red from crying!!"

"I told you that you must have seen it wrong!!"

…

Looking at the noisy children, Mu Tang quietly took a step back, turned around and prepared to leave.

As a result, before she had even taken two steps, her clothes and legs were pulled again, and a tall child's puzzled voice sounded behind her:

"Why are you running away again? I already told you that I can't beat you in two. Why are you so cowardly?"

The tall child complained and walked around to Mu Tang.

Mu Tang had no choice but to give up running away and asked him:

"What's the matter?"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

The little one also walked around in front of her, stretched out his hand to make a big gesture, and his expression was also very exaggerated:

"Brother Yun said that he saw you have a super big dog, as big as a hill. Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes!"

The tall man shouted from the side:

"She takes that dog out every night. That dog can trample both of us to death casually, but it's so big!!"

The little one turned around and said dissatisfied:

"Brother Yun, you've already said it, can you not use the two of us as an example to live a good life?"

The tall man patted the hair on the little one's head disapprovingly and said in an old-fashioned way:

"Even if you are so precious about your life, when the zombies come, we will definitely be the first to be caught. We have to face reality!"

"But I don't want to die..." The little one touched the stupid hair on the top of his head, his eyes turned red for a moment, and he muttered softly.

The tall man took it for granted and said carelessly:

"Look at it, I'm going to die anyway, why not choose a way to die that you like, being trampled to death by a big dog monster would be cool! When I die and see Zhang Zhang and others, they can brag about it, I'll be so jealous of them!!"

The little one seemed to be moved by his words, and said with some emotion:

"Are they really envious?"

"Of course!!" The tall man nodded affirmatively!

So the little one turned to look at Mu Tang and asked expectantly:

"So, is there really such a big dog monster?"

Mu Tang frowned, knelt down, her eyes were level with his, and seriously corrected:

"Mud is mud, it's not some big dog monster."
