The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

The next day, when Chang Ning was about to sneak out, Chang Jianian suddenly returned.

Chang Ning was a little surprised. "Dad, has something happened?"

Chang Jianian said it was nothing, "I just came back to see you."

The last time we met was several days ago.

Chang Ning told him to rest more and take care of his health. She also asked him what he had been researching lately, and whether there were any ways to deal with the fact that so many people were mutating.

Chang Jianian said that specialists are conducting research and the results will be available soon. If all goes well, this disaster can be brought to an end.

Chang Ning's face lit up with surprise; this was undoubtedly good news. She immediately asked, "What about the zombies? And what about the mutated humans?"

Chang Jianian told her not to worry about these things, that the higher-ups would handle it, and then added, "Things are a bit chaotic right now, so don't wander off, okay?"

Chang Ning felt a little guilty. She agreed verbally, but as soon as Chang Jianian left, she slipped out.

She made plans with Cheng Zhenkai yesterday. If she stands him up, he'll nag her endlessly!

Cheng Zhenkai was waiting for her at the usual spot. As soon as she parked her car, he jumped up and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

The two acted like an underage couple secretly dating behind their parents' backs, except this time Chang Ning was driving and Cheng Zhenkai was sitting in the passenger seat.

Because of his lack of experience, Chang Ning always drove very carefully, afraid of causing an accident. Cheng Zhenkai watched for a while and said, "Aren't you tired of keeping your back straight like that all the time?"

Like a primary school student sitting in a classroom.

Chang Ning straightened her back and looked straight ahead. "Don't speak."

As Chang Ning turned left, Cheng Zhenkai interrupted again, "Hey, you turned the steering wheel too early."

"There's a pit ahead, move to the side a little!"

"Don't floor the gas pedal, keep a steady speed, okay?"

"You can drive faster, I'll be watching..."

With a hiss!

Chang Ning slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a sudden stop. Both of them were thrown forward due to inertia, but were pulled back by the seatbelts. Cheng Zhenkai even asked her, "What happened?"

"What happened? What did you say happened?"

Chang Ning slammed her hand on the steering wheel, and the car immediately started honking loudly. Chang Ning turned her head and glared at him angrily: "Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, I told you to shut up, but you still kept talking. You think you're the only one who can drive and has a mouth, huh!"

I was focused on driving, but he kept buzzing in my ear like a fly. I couldn't hit him, and he was incredibly annoying!

Seeing her furious, Cheng Zhenkai instinctively drew a line across his mouth and said, "I was wrong, I'll shut up, wife, you can keep driving!"

"We're not opening it!"

Chang Ning said angrily, "Anyway, we don't have a destination, so let's just stay here."

"Oh, let's go down and play then! I just saw a tower over there, let's go there!"

Chang Ning got out of the car with a sour face. Cheng Zhenkai stood behind her, grabbed her waist and pushed her, saying, "Come on, come on, we haven't even gone on a date yet!"

The Northwest has an arid climate and is relatively short of water. There are not many tall trees, but there are many cultural landscapes. This place is not a tourist attraction, but just a small village. However, there is a small path that has been cleared by man and leads to the tower that Cheng Zhenkai mentioned.

The surrounding area was barren and yellow, but grass should grow in the summer. There were a few rammed earth mounds with excavated cave dwellings underneath. The sky was vast, but the wind and sand were strong. When we arrived, we found that it was not a tower at all.

"It's a church!"

But it's almost completely abandoned, with only a tower remaining. The spire should be where the bell used to be. "I didn't expect there to be a church here!"

In a remote little village, with only a few houses for miles around, Cheng Zhenkai hugged her from behind: "It must have been built by foreign missionaries."

"Let go of me, I need to take a picture of it with my phone!"

Her phone was in her coat pocket, and Cheng Zhenkai pressed it down with his arm, making it impossible to move. Cheng Zhenkai said, "I'll get it for you!"

After taking it out, he first took more than a dozen selfies of the two of them together, then changed the angle and used the church as a background, snapping away again. Finally, he managed to get a solo photo of the small earthen building. "Okay, I took the photos for you, so don't take your hands out!"

It's cold outside.

Chang Ning insisted on taking a picture before she would stop. Just as she was about to put her phone back, she suddenly made a discovery: "Look, it seems like there's a signal!"

It's just a tiny square, but at least it's not a cross.

Cheng Zhenkai said, "That's good news."

But when they got back, something bad happened right away!

The two had just reached the car when Cheng Zhenkai opened the door but before he could get in, his body suddenly went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Chang Ning was startled and quickly went over to call out to him, "Cheng Zhenkai!"

Before she could even help him up, she instinctively gasped again. She saw a thin needle stuck in his neck, with a cross-shaped end. Chang Ning reached out to pull it out, but before she could touch it, she heard someone say, "Don't move!"

Chang Ning was startled. When he looked up, he saw several people appear silently beside him. They were fully armed and equipped, and they were obviously military personnel!

Chang Ning was delighted, but immediately became wary: "What are you planning to do?"

One of them, holding a testing device, answered her question: "He has mutated. For the safety of the public, we must arrest him!"

Chang Ning's heart sank. "But he's perfectly normal and doesn't show any aggressive tendencies. Why are we arresting him?"

Whether something is normal or not is not up to you to decide.

"So where are you going to take him?"

“The base has special detention areas. According to regulations, you also need to come with us.”

Upon arriving at the base, Chang Ning and Cheng Zhenkai were separated. Chang Ning watched helplessly as the unconscious Cheng Zhenkai was taken away by them. For some reason, a bad feeling arose in her heart. She asked the guards when she could leave.

The man said she could leave after he confirmed she was alright. Chang Ning then asked if he could notify her father, who was also at the base. The man said no and then locked the door.

Chang Ning was deeply worried. Based on their actions just now, he could roughly guess the military's attitude towards the mutants. Moreover, Cheng Zhenkai had completely lost his mobility, so if they wanted to do something to him, he would be unable to resist at all.

Chang Ning became increasingly anxious. She had only seen her father today. If she couldn't get out, it would probably be several days before her father found out. What should she do?

The next day, the staff brought the testing equipment again. After confirming that there was no problem, Chang Ning quickly asked if she could go out.

The staff said they would need to observe for three days.

Chang Ning was greatly disappointed and asked again, "What about her boyfriend? What will he do?"

The staff replied that they would handle it according to procedure.

Chang Ning: "..."

But she had no choice.

On the third day, a different staff member came to test her, and when Chang Ning saw it was Zhao Chenyang!

Zhao Chenyang was also surprised and asked her, "What are you doing here?"

Chang Ning said, "Cheng Zhenkai was arrested by the military as a mutant. Do you know where he was taken?"

Zhao Chenyang was shocked: "What?"
