But now, the situation was clearly urgent.
Suihan decided to head straight to the laboratory to create the antidote.
Even if it meant being warned by the game about entering a penalty mode, he accepted it.
He needed to take Xiaoshi away from here to a quiet place, where they could properly discuss their relationship.
He would not allow Xiaoshi to continue avoiding this issue.
He had already given him enough time.
As Suihan thought of this, his gaze towards Song Jinshi turned crimson for a brief moment, as if something within him was trying to break free.
After packing up, Song Jinshi, despite feeling unwell, followed Suihan as they avoided the zombies and arrived at the laboratory’s entrance.
“Roar!”
“Why did you run off by yourself? I’ve been looking for you for ages! Come here quickly, humans are very cruel!”
A familiar voice sounded nearby.
Song Jinshi turned his head to look.
A tall, muscular zombie was warily staring at Suihan, as if he were some great beast.
At the same time, it gestured for him to come over, making it clear that it viewed Suihan as a threat.
Caught off guard by the towering zombie, Song Jinshi innocently looked towards Suihan for help.
Suihan simply cast a brief glance at the zombie and warned, “Xiaoshi, do you still want to hide this from me?”
“What is your relationship?”
Knowing he could no longer keep it a secret, Song Jinshi admitted his identity.
“I’m a zombie, and he is my friend, but he is a good zombie! Really! He has helped me a lot!”
Fearing Suihan might get angry and kill the zombie, Song Jinshi emphasized several times that it was a good zombie.
“Roar.”
“Why are you ignoring me? Hurry up and come over! The king has been looking for you, and he’s definitely angry that you slipped out! Go and apologize to him, and he will surely forgive you; he will continue to protect you!”
This time, Song Jinshi directly covered his ears, trying to avoid the misleading conversation while looking at Suihan.
“I didn’t hear anything just now. Don’t ask me; I know nothing.”
Suihan’s cold eyes swept over the zombie, quietly warning Song Jinshi.
“I won’t say anything to you right now. We will have a proper discussion about what has happened after we leave.”
After saying that, Suihan grabbed Song Jinshi’s arm, intending to enter the laboratory.
The tall zombie, seeing that Song Jinshi was being taken away by a human, rushed forward, wanting to snatch him back.
But it was no match for Suihan; with just a wave of his hand, the zombie was sent flying.
Yet, Song Jinshi felt the stiffness in Suihan’s movements, as if using his powers required great effort.
“Master, have your powers deteriorated?”
Song Jinshi asked, puzzled.
Suihan glanced down at Song Jinshi, whose head was filled with all sorts of thoughts. “It’s because I forcefully broke through space to find you, so I am restricted.”
“Oh.”
Learning that it was because of him made Song Jinshi lower his head in embarrassment.
The two of them made their way unobstructed to the core laboratory.
Upon opening the metal door, they were met with a series of equipment and researchers, along with a strange man with his back to them.
The man didn’t turn around but sniffed the air slightly before speaking cryptically,
“Baby, your scent has changed.”
After entering, Song Jinshi immediately spotted the man with his back turned towards them.
The other researchers cowered in a corner, trembling.
Only this man sat there leisurely.
Song Jinshi was curious about his identity.
But before he could ask, the familiar voice left him stunned.
“Song?”
The man with his back turned slowly faced them after hearing Song Jinshi’s tone, which was filled with confusion and shock.
He looked at Song Jinshi and Suihan without showing any emotion.
“Baby, who is he?”
A casual question, as if he was merely inquiring.
But Song Jinshi knew that “Song” could not be so simple.
The zombie’s attack on the base must be related to him.
Suihan also looked at “Song” and asked Song Jinshi in a flat tone, “Xiaoshi, tell me who he is.”
Song Jinshi, caught between the two men’s gazes, had no idea how to respond.
Ultimately, under the burning stares, he chose to answer Suihan.
“He is my… friend.”
“Friend?”
“Song’s” tone was ambiguous.
“So to you, my queen and I are just friends.”
Song Jinshi glared at “Song”, furious as he retorted, “When was I your queen?”
“Song” casually took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, his dark eyes glancing deeply. “Baby, don’t you feel a bit uncomfortable since leaving me?”
“Don’t you dream of me at night?”
“Don’t you long for my embrace, yearn for my presence beside you?”
With every word “Song” said, Suihan’s expression darkened further.
Song Jinshi was not someone who could hide his feelings; all his thoughts were visibly displayed on his face.
So Suihan could already tell from Song Jinshi’s expression that what this unknown man said was true.
Suihan subtly extended his arm and wrapped it around Song Jinshi, expressing his possessiveness.
“Song” noticed Suihan’s move, and the darkness within him deepened.
“Heh.”
“Baby, think carefully. Do you want him or me?”
Suihan lowered his head, waiting for Song Jinshi’s reaction.
Sandwiched between the two, Song Jinshi felt helpless, turning to look at both men.
The grip around his waist suddenly tightened. “Can I choose neither?”
As soon as he finished speaking, both stares sharpened.
“Heh, baby, that’s not an option.”
