After Marking the Villain Professor (ABO, GL) - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Xu Man and Zhou Yutao took less than five minutes from entering the room to coming out.

Qi Lin looked at Xu Man and shook her head repeatedly. “Looks good, but no good.”

“Little Taotao, your taste is getting worse and worse.”

She spared no one.

After she finished speaking, she laughed to herself, seeming in a very good mood—as if striking at Zhou Yutao made her happy.

But in reality, Zhou Yutao was not affected at all. Instead, she watched Xu Man, who had turned red in the face from Qi Lin’s words, with great interest.

Qi Lin found it pointless and stopped laughing. “Can we go now, Little Taotao?”

Zhou Yutao nodded.

Qi Lin raised her hand and signaled the camouflage man standing beside her. “Prepare a vehicle for me, ten people. I am going to Qingshan Hospital.”

The camouflage man hesitated. “Doctor Qi, if you leave, the leader he…”

Qi Lin waved her hand. “His injury is almost healed. It is the same with or without me. If you say one more word, you can forget about keeping your head.”

“Yes.”

Seeing that Qi Lin had already started to lose patience, the camouflage man did not dare say anything more.

Doctor Qi was the person their leader valued most. Here, calling her the second-in-command was not an overstatement.

What was more, the thing the leader used to control their lives came from her hand. He still wanted to live.

With Qi Lin’s help, Xu Man and the others smoothly left the town.

There were only a dozen or so wandering zombies outside the town. It was clear they had been among those who could not enter the town before. Not a single piece of intact flesh remained on their bodies, showing how miserably they had died.

These zombies were quickly dealt with by Qi Lin’s people.

The military truck grew farther and farther from the town. The people inside sat in unusual silence, and the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie.

Suddenly, a rumble from a stomach broke this silence. It came from the two burly men who had come out with Xu Man—Da Shu and Xiao Shu.

“Um, we have been mining all day and have not eaten for a very long time.”

“Yes, yes. We did not mean to disturb everyone.”

Da Shu and Xiao Shu spoke cautiously.

Now they had realized that they seemed to have provoked someone extraordinary. So after leaving the town, they had been as obedient as little quails.

But at this moment, they could not hold it in anymore. They were really very hungry.

They had not eaten their fill even outside the town before. After entering, they had been pulled to mine for quite some time. Being able to endure until now was already their limit.

No one paid attention to them.

Da Shu and Xiao Shu both breathed a sigh of relief together.

Zhou Yutao pinched Xu Man’s hand and asked, “Hungry?”

Xu Man subconsciously wanted to shake her head. Suddenly, she remembered what Zhou Yutao had said half an hour ago about not deceiving her. She hesitated, then nodded with a red face.

Qi Lin, who had been quietly observing the two without moving, immediately found it amusing. “Oh dear, sorry. I forgot to prepare food for you all. Look at my memory. This time out, I did not bring much food or water.”

“I only have extra poison here. Little Taotao, do you want some?”

The gloating in her tone was impossible to hide. It was clearly deliberate.

Because before setting off, Qi Lin had instructed the camouflage men in front of them to prepare only their own food and water. Qi Lin did not hide her malice at all.

“Little Taotao, how about this: kneel in front of me and beg, and I will give you my share of food.”

At this point, Qi Lin grew excited all over, as if she really wanted to see Zhou Yutao beg her.

“Keep your poison for yourself to eat. Be careful not to eat too much, or you will be the one begging me for the antidote.”

This time, Zhou Yutao shot back.

As she spoke, she took out three Snickers bars from her pocket. One for Xu Man, one for Xin’er, and one for Lin Sha. “Eat.”

Lin Sha and Xin’er did not stand on ceremony. They tore open the packaging and ate, clearly both very hungry.

Xu Man hesitated.

“Yutao, what about you?” she asked.

Zhou Yutao lowered her eyes. “You eat.”

Xu Man immediately understood that Zhou Yutao had not eaten either. She stuffed the Snickers bar back into Zhou Yutao’s hand.

Qi Lin saw this and said angrily, “I knew it. That is why my Snickers bars on the table were gone.”

“Little Taotao, if you were hungry, you could have told me. Why take my Snickers bars? Those are my favorite snack. I only had three. You have gone too far this time. You really crossed my bottom line, I am telling you.”

Qi Lin was really a bit angry. She even reached out toward Zhou Yutao. “Give them back.”

“How do you prove they are yours?”

Zhou Yutao calmly put the Snickers bar in her hand back into her pocket, looking utterly provoking.

Qi Lin laughed in anger. “Do not forget what you promised me.”

Zhou Yutao nodded. “I will not.”

Xu Man’s expression changed slightly. She gripped Zhou Yutao’s hand tightly and asked in a low voice, “Yutao, what did you promise her? This person is not a good one.”

She was afraid Zhou Yutao would suffer a big loss.

Zhou Yutao: “Just a small matter. No problem.”

Listening to the two’s quiet conversation, the smile on Qi Lin’s face deepened a bit.

A small matter? It was no small matter.

The usually aloof Professor Zhou was going to be her assistant for a month. Thinking about it made her happy.

How should she torment her then?

Qi Lin was about to say something when the vehicle suddenly stopped.

Due to inertia, everyone lurched forward. Xu Man and Zhou Yutao held each other and quickly steadied themselves. Da Shu and Xiao Shu, those two brothers, had no strength from hunger and fell flat without any defense, bumping their heads into big lumps.

But they did not dare complain. Instead, they fawned toward Qi Lin in front of them. “That lady does not beg you, but we do. Please, please give us something to eat.”

“Get lost!”

Qi Lin’s face darkened. She did not have that much patience with others.

“What is going on?” Qi Lin asked her subordinate.

“Someone is blocking the vehicle. A female Omega, very beautiful.” The driving camouflage man answered quickly, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

A female Omega, beautiful?

The other camouflage men, upon hearing this, had their eyes light up like wolves.

“Doctor Qi, can we capture her?” One of them asked eagerly.

Most of the Omegas who had entered the town during this time had gone into Qi Lin’s laboratory. Despite there being so many Omegas, they lived more miserably than monks. Even when they occasionally had some fun, it was only with a few ugly male Omegas.

A beautiful female Omega was rarer than gold.

Now that Doctor Qi was not doing experiments, if they captured her, would she not be theirs?

All the camouflage men were eager to try.

Qi Lin neither agreed nor opposed.

She knew what these people wanted to do, but what did others’ lives have to do with her?

In the end, these people were not truly her subordinates. Although she could restrain them, if she restrained them too harshly and these people became emotionally unstable, it would bring trouble to her instead.

After the apocalypse, all relationships were just mutual exploitation.

The camouflage men exchanged glances and got out of the vehicle.

After getting off, they discovered that there was indeed a delicately beautiful female Omega running toward them. But behind her followed two pickup trucks with about a dozen people on them.

The camouflage men immediately raised their guns alertly.

“You are soldiers, right? Save me. I can tell you some important information about the apocalypse.”

“I am going to Nancheng too. Please take me with you.”

The female Omega shouted loudly as she ran.

A glint of ill intent flashed in the camouflage men’s eyes.

Soldiers?

If it was before the apocalypse, some of them had indeed been soldiers. But now, they had nothing to do with the military.

The female Omega did not notice the malice in the camouflage men’s eyes. Seeing the military truck and the camouflage uniforms, she subconsciously took them for soldiers who could save her life.

Just as the female Omega was about to reach the military truck, the people chasing her fired.

The female Omega was lucky and did not get hit.

The gunshots alerted the people still in the vehicle.

Qi Lin, Da Shu, and Xiao Shu all got out. Lin Sha immediately covered Xin’er’s ears. Her mind was on the outside, so no one noticed that Zhou Yutao, sitting in the corner, suddenly took out the Snickers bar from her pocket, quickly took a bite, and kissed Xu Man.

Xu Man widened her eyes, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.

The peach fragrance mixed with the sweetness of the Snickers surged into her mouth all at once. Xu Man could not help but swallow.

After the peach fragrance gradually receded, she could not help but chase after it.

In exchange for Zhou Yutao’s soft laugh. “So it turns out Manman did not want the Snickers bar just now because she wanted me to feed her.”

Xu Man’s face quickly turned beet red.

No, she had just wanted to leave the last Snickers bar for Zhou Yutao. She had not expected Zhou Yutao to do this suddenly, and at such a tense moment at that.

Alright, if it was fed this way, she was willing. But that had to be when food was plentiful.

“Eat the rest. Do not…” Do not feed her anymore, Xu Man thought.

At that moment, a crisp child’s voice rang out. “Does Auntie Xu need feeding to eat? Shame, shame. Xin’er does not need anyone to feed her.”

The gunshots outside had stopped. Lin Sha came back to herself and only then discovered that she had covered Xin’er’s ears crookedly.

Fortunately, this child had been through some things and was not scared.

However, feeding?

Lin Sha looked toward Xu Man, who seemed to be sitting very properly. She saw a bit of chocolate still remaining at the corner of her mouth, while more than half of the Snickers bar in Zhou Yutao’s hand had been bitten.

She did not think much of it and assumed Zhou Yutao had just normally fed Xu Man.

But even so, in Lin Sha’s view, it was quite explosive. So the look she gave Xu Man was somewhat unkind.

As if saying Xu Man was being immature.

Xu Man was so embarrassed that she could not face the two anymore and silently turned her head away.

Fortunately, Zhou Yutao did not do anything more to her and quickly ate the remaining small half of the Snickers bar.

Ten minutes later, Qi Lin and the others brought a female Omega onto the vehicle.

At first, Xu Man did not pay attention. But when she saw the person’s appearance and heard her self-introduction, Xu Man was stunned.

“Hello, I am Tan Juan. I am twenty-three this year. Thank you for saving me. Um, especially thank you to this beautiful sister.”

Tan Juan was full of gratitude. The look in her eyes toward Qi Lin was bright.

Qi Lin nodded slightly. “Qi Lin.”

The light in Tan Juan’s eyes extinguished at once. It even carried a trace of fear.

This reaction surprised Qi Lin quite a bit. “You know me?”

She was certain she had never seen this person before. She had just called her beautiful sister one moment, and now she was afraid upon hearing her name. It was truly interesting.

Tan Juan hurriedly shook her head. “No, I do not know you. I do not know you. I just thought the sister was pretty, haha.”

But the cold sweat breaking out on her face betrayed her.

She was clearly terrified to death, and her body very honestly put distance between her and Qi Lin.

At this moment, Xu Man was certain that this Tan Juan, who looked like her roommate, was her roommate.

Because when she complimented people, she liked to call them beautiful sister.

Her roommate had transmigrated into this apocalypse novel with her.
