Chapter 757: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (53)
"Is this Dr. Xu?"
Qiann Yan rushed out of the zombie encirclement with Dr. Xu, and a group of superpower users gathered around. Dr. Xu wore a serious expression, nodding slightly, clearly aware that these superpower users were from multiple factions.
A bunch of opportunists.
Seeing the young girl chop down zombies and bring him out, none of them hurried up to help. They waited until they were out of the zombie encirclement to enthusiastically gather around, with such pretentious looks, which he really disliked.
"Dr. Xu, I’m from the Rainbow Base..."
"Dr. Xu, I’m from the Hope Base..."
"I’m from the Sunshine Base..."
"I’m..."
No matter what these superpower users said, Qiann Yan led Dr. Xu outside, and the zombies chasing after them were dealt with by these superpower users.
They didn’t want to rush into the encirclement, but dealing with the zombies that chased out was no problem at all, and they could also showcase themselves in front of Dr. Xu.
They didn’t forget to mention the benefits of their respective bases, boasting strong capabilities, certainly able to support his research.
Dr. Xu had long decided to follow Qiann Yan; that little girl was so formidable, how could their tiny bases compare to her influence?
Upon learning of Dr. Xu’s decision, all the superpower users turned pale. They did want to snatch him, but Qiann Yan was not someone to provoke.
Being able to rush in and bring Dr. Xu out alone, even if she was a young girl, she was not to be trifled with. None of them dared to rush directly into that zombie nest.
Dr. Xu sneered, thinking them cowards, and was even more convinced that his choice was wise.
He chatted amicably with Qiann Yan, and talk soon turned to matters concerning the research team.
Qiann Yan briefly shared some of Dou Huai’s ideas with Dr. Xu, and his eyes lit up. It seemed that even without him, their research team could make significant achievements. His joining would be the icing on the cake.
Given that it was a matter of life and death for humanity, even if it was just icing on the cake, Dr. Xu was unwilling to miss the opportunity to work with such a team. Perhaps his involvement could shorten the timeline?
Dr. Xu began to imagine, wondering how many acquaintances he might run into.
In a circle like theirs, anyone with a bit of fame would definitely recognize each other, depending on how well they were acquainted.
Qiann Yan was unaware of Dr. Xu’s flights of fancy; having him quietly accompany her back would save her a lot of trouble.
The superpower users were all anxious, seeing Dr. Xu clearly intended to stick with Qiann Yan and completely unsure of what to do.
They couldn’t snatch him away.
"Little one, which base are you from?"
Qiann Yan maintained her aloof demeanor throughout, saying nothing.
The superpower users were a bit annoyed, but didn’t dare to make a move.
Ruan Xian and his wife had already come to meet Qiann Yan. Wearing hats and scarves, their walking was no longer as stiff as ordinary zombies, and the superpower users had their attention focused on Dr. Xu and Qiann Yan, not noticing them.
Even though the superpower users were reluctant, they could only watch as Dr. Xu was invited into the car.
"Mom and Dad, I’ll take you for some practice later," Qiann Yan said. "Let’s first arrange a meal for Dr. Xu." She handed Dr. Xu some bread and water. "Dr. Xu, have a bite first. I’ve already asked Little Wuo to cook."
Dr. Xu devoured the bread ravenously, and only after several bites did he slow down: "You can still cook?"
Having stayed in an underground lab for over half a year, it had been a long time since he had smelled the scent of cooking. He didn’t expect to have hot meals right after coming out, and suddenly felt a bit moved.
No wonder even the children of such a faction are so formidable.
