"Around the end of this month," Wuli replied as the two of them began eating the noodles Leyan made.

As everyone finished eating their noodles, Yuqi and Yueyue both headed out to work.

Kate and Anna headed out as well, needing to catch up for missing two days of work.

Nami left the house with Lily to bring her to school, and all of them left Leyan to take care of their babies.

Just as Tianci was about to leave, Xiaoyun decided to go with her to the lab where she had been working.

"Are you sure you don\'t want to stay with Wuli and Shuli?" Tianci asked as they began walking down the street.

"Do they look like they want me to stay at home?"

Tianci didn\'t say anything as she could vividly remember both of them waving goodbye to her and Xiaoyun.

After walking for almost five minutes, they finally arrived at a building in the trading zone.

Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e-NovelBin

It was just an ordinary pawn shop with nothing much special about it.

"Is the lab that secretive?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.

Tianci only nodded in agreement as they entered the pawn shop, where they saw a person standing behind the counter.

"Welcome back, Tianci——M-Mr.Mayor?"

Xiaoyun didn\'t say anything back, following Tianci past the small window door before arriving at a metal gate that said storage room.

Tianci took a small key from underneath the chair nearby and opened it, revealing the secret lab right before his eyes.

It was a fully white room with almost blinding light lighting up the room, zero windows, and only a vent in the corner.

"Good morning, Tianci... Who\'s the person behind you?"

A middle-aged man wearing a lab coat curiously asked, his face confused, as he could feel he had seen Xiaoyun somewhere before.

Everyone\'s attention in the lab is also drawn as they all look toward the two who just stepped in.

"You\'re Doctor Li, right?" Xiaoyun asked as he remembered the middle-aged man who had drawn his blood in the past.

"Yes... Wait, you\'re the mayor!"

Doctor Li finally realized who Xiaoyun was, and everyone instantly recognized him from the military parade.

"Ahem, just ignore me, and you all can go back to work. I\'m just here to tour this place."

Everyone turned their attention back to the work, but Xiaoyun could feel all of them seemly excited.

As he followed Tianci to her table, he saw a stack of documents lying in the corner with Yuqi\'s signature on them.

It was just a payment to a \'blueprint\' for a bridge that was clearly meant to disguise what Tianci\'s lab was working on.

A group of people was constantly walking back and forth into different rooms down the hallway, which contained all sorts of fancy machines.

Almost everyone was busy working, from conducting some sort of test on the computer to recording animal behaviors.

"Tianci, I think we might have a breakthrough in Zombivirin. Hypothetically, all our calculation adds up with the computed test."

An old man pointed out as he handed a piece of paper over to Tianci, not noticing Xiaoyun, who was standing behind and watching.

"Are you sure? We only have enough funding for two tests," Tianci warned as she put the paper down on the table.

"I\'m sure of it. If this doesn\'t work, then you can throw my twenty years of virology into the trash."

Seeing the confidence in the old man, Tianci began carefully reading the report.

"Can we even do this? Your Resistant Genome Therapy is purely only written with human genes and needs live zombie trial."

Tianci\'s question made the old man fall into silence, unable to speak up as if that was what was stopping him in the first place.

"Miss Tianci, please. We can\'t keep testing on paper and animals. We need more test data with a human and zombies trial——"

"I told you that\'s not happening until we get a fully function cure. We are not in a rush to conduct a human trial or bring a live zombie into the lab."

Seeing the two arguing back and forth, with more and more scientists stepping in, Xiaoyun suddenly realized something.

He finally understood why Yuqi wanted Tianci to lead this secret virology department rather than someone else.

Almost half of them were willing to pursue a more risky approach despite the apparent risk to human life.

Tianci was the only one who had already experienced firsthand how a lab could go wrong, refusing all of their attempts.

"Am I the head department, or are you the head department?" Tianci finally pulled out her trump card.

After a short silence, the old man took his paper back, with his group heading back to their side to change their proposal.

"Ahem, if you guys really want, a human trial isn\'t off the table."

Xiaoyun\'s voice immediately caught everyone\'s attention, especially Tianci, who looked a little shocked by his proposal.

"I mean, like if a soldier is already bitten, there\'s not much of a cure besides a bullet to their head.

I can send out a form asking if they are willing to donate their bodies to science if that\'s what you guys need.

But it might take a while since I\'m only going to allow soldiers that have no chance of survival to do this."

"Fine, you guys can experiment and resume. But only with confirmed dead bodies." Tianci backed down as she accepted his proposal.

"Thank you!"

With everyone in the lab going back to work, Xiaoyun watched for a bit before saying goodbye.

"If you need anything, just call me and ask, okay? Don\'t let your past bind you."

"Okay——"

Before Tianci could react, Xiaoyun suddenly kissed her on the cheek right in front of everyone.

"See you later."

As Xiaoyun left the room, Tianci\'s face blushed red, and almost everyone paused their work.

A third of the men in the lab, whose eyes were filled with jealousy yet fear, were especially affected.

"Miss Tianci, I never knew you and the mayor were that close..." One of her coworkers gossiped.

"Yeah, when are you going to introduce him to us?" Another female coworker gossiped.

"I\'m pretty sure they are already married." A more senior scientist pointed out.

The men\'s hearts in the lab dropped even more as their dreams were now completely crumbled.

"Ahem, everyone, get back to work. Stop talking about me." Tianci directed as she tried to focus on her work.

"Tianci, when did you dye your hair?" The first coworker suddenly asked.

Everyone nearby suddenly realized the hair color as well, as it wasn\'t the usual black she had in the past.

"I dyed it yesterday," Tianci replied before putting her full focus on the work and ignoring their further comments.

"Everyone in the town can really recognize me now..." Xiaoyun murmured as he walked out of the pawn shop.

As he headed to the training field, he considered changing his face to look a little older to hide his identity.

By the time he arrived at the military storage units, he decided just to keep it normal.

"You four, can you help me unload the food into those trucks over there?" Xiaoyun asked.

Two of the guards immediately went inside, and the other two guards went over to drive the trucks over.

After waiting for twenty minutes, both of the trucks were fully loaded with canned food Xiaoyun created yesterday.

"Can you two deliver it over to Guangzhou and the administrative building? I\'ll pay guys extra——"

"No need, sir. We\'ll drive it there right now."

With both of the trucks driving off towards the exit, Xiaoyun yelled out thanks before heading to the logistic office.

When he arrived inside, people were already busy working, and no one was taking a lunch break.

"Ahem, who\'s the head of the logistics office?" Xiaoyun asked as Yezi was no longer the head.

"I am, commander. My name is Wang Chen." A middle-aged woman who looked extremely tired stepped up and replied.

"Nice to meet you, Wang Chen. I just want to ask, can you make a consent form for all the soldiers to sign?"

"Um, sure. What do you want to put on it, commander?"

"Just have a yes or no that says they are willing to donate their body to science after they have been bitten."

"Science?" Wang Chen asked in confusion.

"It\'s a top secret. Just put it on the next food delivery to the corps and give me back the statistic."

"Yes, sir."

Wang Chen didn\'t question it this time, putting it on the top to-do list as she went back to work.

Seeing everyone working on their task, Xiaoyun chose not to disrupt their work and headed over to the administrative building to see Yuqi.
