564: 9.34 I'm So Angry

9.34 I'm So Angry

Yang Tengfei was fully aware that Zhao Bolin would definitely refuse if the army were to forcibly put Student Li Zhu into the team. Worse, he might even rebel and mess up the antidote's formula. If it happened, then not only would Yang Tengfei be fucked, then everyone in this world would get a one-way ticket straight to Hell!0

Damn it, so annoying! If Zhao Bolin was a soldier, Yang Tengfei could directly hand out punishment to mend his unruly ways. Alas, the despicable person turned out to be someone he could not offend. Not only that, Yang Tengfei also had to endure his antagonistic and ill-mannered demeanor! 

Yang Tengfei's patience was quickly reaching its peak. Being the Commander in the Special Forces had gotten him accustomed to people obeying his orders as well as acting in a synchronized and systematic way. As such, someone like Zhao Bolin who did not play by rules ticked him in the wrong way. 

Some people were just born to be nemesis. If there was someone in this world whom Commander Yang thought was his nemesis, then it could only be Zhao Bolin.

If he did not let Zhao Bolin know his place, then it would definitely be a black stain to his honor as a soldier!

As the person responsible for securing the existence of the antidote, Yang Tengfei was straightforward in his intention. The request was brought forth the very next day when he delivered food — of course, the esteemed Professor Zhao would feel that it was utterly beneath him to eat together with the soldiers on the fourth floor, Yang Tengfei sneered.

As he expected, even before he could finish his sentence, Professor Zhao's face darkened. "Have you forgotten our deal, Commander Yang? I have relayed my own conditions and the government has also inputted theirs. If you want to recklessly add someone into my team, then our deal will be invalid." Or in other words, he would not work on the antidote anymore and everyone could just wait to perish under the deadly virus.

Hot anger surged up Commander Yang's chest. He mustered his willpower that was tempered for years in the army and replied in a calm voice, "I know, but when I think back about it, isn't it better if you have a more skillful assistant?" Yang Tengfei glanced at Lu Yizhou who was sitting far away nibbling on bread. He knew that the student would not be able to hear him but he still lowered his voice anyway. "Once again, I must remind you that this is not a matter to be trifled with, Professor. Have you thought of the consequences if you can't create the antidote within half a year?" Sharp blades embedded into his tone and his low voice exuded pressure that had intimidated countless others. 

Alas, was Zhao Bolin someone who could be easily intimidated?

He lifted his chin and harrumphed in disdain. "Then, do I need to remind you who needs whom here? Let me tell you once again then in case the fact has not seeped into that thick skull of yours." Mockery curled on the corner of Zhao Bolin's lips. "You guys are the one who come here to beg for my help. You guys are the one who needs the antidote. You don't get to tell me what to do here, Commander." His golden eyes narrowed sharply and when the two people's gazes collided midair, faint smell of gunpowder could be detected. "I'd advise you not to come up with anything funny. Have you realized that everyone's lifeline depends on me? To kill you all… it will be so easy…"

"You—!" Commander Yang's veins throbbed in fury and his fists clenched by his side.

Perhaps sensing the obvious confrontation, Lu Yizhou glanced at their direction and approached. He stood in front of Zhao Bolin and gave Yang Tengfei a displeased look. [What's going on here?]

Zhao Bolin immediately hid behind Lu Yizhou's broad back and tugged on the hem of his shirt. He pursed his lips and peered up at Lu Yizhou with an aggrieved look. "He bullied me~"

Yang Tengfei stared at him incredulously. This fucker…! Did he have no shame?! 

And what was up with this student? He looked like he really wanted to fight it out with Yang Tengfei right here and now! Had they forgotten that he was a trained soldier?! Sigh… forget it. As the saying went, birds of the same feathers flocked together. Zhao Bolin and his assistant were freaking weirdos and he, as the only sane man, should be the magnanimous one.

Yang Tengfei took in a deep breath and summoned a lifetime of patience to maintain a level-headed mind. "I insist on my point. To be completely honest, Professor Zhao, I don't believe that you can create the antidote." Not if you spent the day fooling with your 'assistant', Yang Tengfei added inwardly with a sneer.

His professionalism insulted, Professor Zhao immediately abandoned his pitiful act and his expression turned a few degrees cooler. He did not care in the slightest if people detested his personality, after all haters could hate. But if it came to his work though… he loathed it the most when he was criticized about that. Such was Professor Zhao's pride. "On what basis do you have to doubt my skill, Commander Yang?"

Commander Yang's face remained deadpan as he pulled out a tablet from his large pocket. Then in front of Zhao Bolin and Lu Yizhou's confused eyes, he replayed the surveillance he caught from the drone last night. 

Amidst the hazy night, the source of light came from the desolate laboratory. Between the narrow gap of the curtain, Professor Zhao's figure could be seen. The HD image processor of the camera also caught Lu Yizhou's silhouette who was sitting on a chair. He appeared to be asleep. It was apparent what a certain professor was doing to his sleeping assistant. 

This… was the so-called 'caught in 4k'.

Zhao Bolin: "..."

Lu Yizhou: "..."

"I am gravely disappointed with your work ethics, Professor Zhao." Commander Yang emphasized heavily. "Is this footage solid enough for me to doubt your capability?"

Colors drained from Zhao Bolin's face and he snatched the tablet from Yang Tengfei's hand, examining the video closely.

"It's no use if you delete this one. I still have a few backups at my disposal." Yang Tengfei harrumphed coldly. He expected Zhao Bolin to repent of his atrocious behavior, or at least show a little bit of shame for having his secret hobby being exposed in front of the subject of his fantasy. Alas, against all expectations, Zhao Bolin actually looked… relieved?

"This is all?" Zhao Bolin chuckled darkly. Relief flooded his heart. He had thought that Yang Tengfei had captured the process of yesterday's experiment. If that was the case, then he had no way of protecting Lu Yizhou's identity anymore! As it turned out, he only had this short masturbation footage? Professor Zhao sighed, shook his head and put on a look of pity. "I have no idea that you are hiding this kind of interesting hobby, Commander. Saving this spicy video, even admitting that you have a few backups, have you no shame?"

Yang Tengfei was so livid that his vision blackened for a split second. He had sorely underestimated a certain someone's shamelessness! Who could have guessed that Zhao Bolin would directly slander him without even batting an eyelid?! 

Toward this kind of person, Yang Tengfei admitted that his skin was not thick enough to rival Zhao Bolin's!

He closed his eyes and took a few steadying breaths before he could suppress the boiling magma in his chest. Even then he felt so stifled with nowhere to vent. Without even taking the tablet back, he sneered. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have wasted my breath here. Three months… I am giving you an ultimatum. If you don't present any crucial development in three months, then be ready to be tried under martial law." Then he repeated the words Zhao Bolin said. "After all, to make you wish for death… it will be so easy…"

Lu Yizhou's fingers twitched but in a place where Yang Tengfei did not see, Zhao Bolin quietly reached out to grab him. 

The two's tacit understanding was very high. Zhao Bolin knew what the zombie was going to do. With this one gesture, he stopped him before blood could spill — or in this case, before Yang Tengfei could become a zombie. As much as he wanted to see it happen, Zhao Bolin held himself back in time.

It was not the time yet, he tried to convey.

Behind Yang Tengfei was a whole group of armed soldiers as well as influential figures in the government. If something were to happen to Yang Tengfei here, then they would definitely investigate it thoroughly. If that happened, then Lu Yizhou would not be able to hide himself anymore! 

No matter how much Zhao Bolin loathed the person in front of him and wished that he could die without a peaceful end, he still held himself back. It actually surprised him, he never thought that he had such strong forbearance. Alas, he seemed to have changed rapidly ever since meeting a certain zombie…

When Yang Tengfei rounded the corner, Lu Yizhou could sense his sharp gaze accessing him. It was not the pitying gaze one should give to someone who had fallen into an immoral professor's crutches, but a probing, intrusive one. Lu Yizhou furrowed his brow and a faint sense of discomfort spread in his heart. What was up with this man? 

[Go and see if you can find out something from him.]

[666: Aye, aye, Host! As long as they still work with electronics, 666 can secretly spy on them! Just leave it to 666!]

After Yang Tengfei returned to the fourth floor, Zhao Bolin tugged on his fingers and dragged him back to the laboratory. Back to the private space where they could show their true selves, Zhao Bolin took a deep breath and showed a cloyingly sweet smile, 

"What should I do, Lu Yizhou? I'm so angry."
