Shen Wei immediately stopped and turned around to help Yun Jiang up, then hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, boss? Tell me quickly."

Yun Jiang broke free from Shen Wei's arm, walked to the sofa, sat down, and waved to him, signaling him to come over.

Shen Wei hurriedly took two steps and sat down, urging Yun Jiang to hurry up.

Yun Jiang looked worried. He first sighed and then recounted what had happened.

He told Shen Wei in great detail how Lu Siyan and Cang Xingyue met and everything that happened afterward.

Shen Wei was shocked after processing the information he received.

Goodness, this is a big juicy story, boss...

"Then that's the boss's fault! The boss was affected by his reason and hurt his sister-in-law. Although it wasn't intentional, after he sobered up, he didn't even care about her and just left. If I were his sister-in-law, I wouldn't even bother with him anymore. He could just go cool off somewhere else."

Shen Wei indignantly condemned Lu Siyan's behavior.

"Oh my, you're still pretending to be the boss's sister-in-law? With your fat, muscular build, even if you were dressed in the most flamboyant way and lying next to the boss, I'm sure he would kick you out and let you cool off first."

Yun Jiang rolled her eyes and mocked Shen Wei.

"Hey? I was just expressing my personal opinion, Yun Jiang, why are you making personal attacks?"

Shen Wei pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

“You’re right, the boss was indeed in the wrong this time, but…”

"But what?"

"I asked the boss about this, but every time he was busy drowning his sorrows in alcohol and wallowing in self-blame, he didn't give me any real explanation."

Yun Jiang couldn't help but sigh and shake her head helplessly as she recalled Lu Siyan's condition over the past few days.

Lu Siyan slowly woke up in the bedroom. The headache from the hangover made him frown. He sat up and rubbed his temples, his other hand instinctively reaching for the bedside table.

He tried to grab at it several times but missed. He turned his head and saw that the wine bottle that had been there had fallen to the ground at some point, and the wine in the bottle had soaked the carpet.

He stared blankly at the red wine stains on the white carpet, as red as blood, but far less glaring than the color of blood.

He couldn't help but recall the image of him piercing the heart of his beloved, the blood flowing continuously from the wound, the warmth of which now brought him endless coldness.

A look of pain and regret appeared in Lu Siyan's eyes.

He hated himself for hurting her, and he also hated himself for not choosing her back then, leaving her there injured and leaving her behind.

Lu Siyan blinked sadly, then shakily got out of bed. His hair was disheveled, stubble appeared on his face, and he exuded a sense of dejection.

The wine cabinet in the bedroom is now empty, with empty bottles scattered on the floor. It used to be full of wine.

At the moment he lost his lover, alcohol became his anesthetic, and the illusory dreams he fell into after getting drunk became his treasure trove for seeing his lover again.

Just as he was about to teleport to the wine storage room on the first floor, memories of the past flooded back into his mind.

"I told you, now that you have legs, you should walk around a bit. I know you can teleport, but could you please stop constantly moving around?"

The banter we used to argue about didn't matter back then, but now they've become memories that are hard to forget and hard to revisit.

He really hasn't had a proper walk in a long time.

Lu Siyan gave up on the convenient teleportation, pushed open the bedroom door and walked slowly down the corridor. The distance to the stairs was not far, but he took two minutes to walk the half-minute distance because he was absent-minded.

His mind was filled with the lingering image of Cang Xingyue, torturing his heart again and again.

"Is this your punishment for me?" he murmured.

I was wrong, Yue, I miss you...

As Lu Siyan walked downstairs, the two people sitting on the sofa immediately caught his attention, and they exchanged a tacit glance.

"Boss, you're awake? It must be that Shen Wei who's being too loud that woke you up, right?" Yun Jiang said with a smile, speaking first in a joking tone.

Lu Siyan, who had originally intended to head straight for the wine storage room without stopping, stopped upon hearing Shen Wei's name and looked up at Shen Wei on the sofa on the other side of Yun Jiang.

Seeing him looking over, Shen Wei quickly got up, walked up to Lu Siyan, hugged him tightly, and said tearfully, "Boss, I missed you so much! I almost never saw you again on my way back."

Lu Siyan lowered his eyes to look at the burly man who had rushed into his arms, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. He pulled the man out of his arms without expression.

What happened on the way?

"I didn't want to see you, boss, so I came back to visit. I didn't expect to run into a zombie with poison-spitting abilities on the way, and it almost killed me."

"And then what? How did you escape danger?" Yun Jiang asked, picking up the thread of conversation.

"Thanks to a powerful superhuman who destroyed it, let me tell you, his water and fire abilities were incredibly powerful, and that fire tornado was just so cool."

At this point, Shen Wei looked on with admiration.

Upon hearing about the water and fire superpowers, Lu Siyan's heart trembled, and Yun Jiang's smile froze.

Shen Wei, oblivious to the change in their expressions, continued speaking to himself.

"But this kid is pretty ruthless. I just asked for his name, and before I left, he didn't forget to trip me up."

"Boy?"

Shen Wei looked at Yun Jiang.

"Oh, it's a kid. How can you call a grown man a girl?"

Yun Jiang noticed Lu Siyan's expression and said leisurely, "Fool, do you know how much damage those two words can cause?"

Shen Wei was completely bewildered by these words, and looked utterly confused.

"I forgot to tell you, your sister-in-law is a water and fire ability user," Yun Jiang explained.

Shen Wei was stunned for a moment, instantly realizing that his words might have rekindled his boss's hopes, only to have them quickly dashed.

He sighed deeply.

"I said, boss, since you care about your wife so much, why did you leave her behind?"

Lu Siyan remained silent for a moment.

“I saw Song Lin.”

"What?!" Shen Weiyun and Jiang Yi exclaimed in unison in shock.

Song Lin was one of the brothers in their mercenary group.

They were hired to investigate a laboratory, which was also their last mission before the apocalypse.

There is a secret laboratory in Wulin City. It is heavily fortified with copper walls and hidden mechanisms, making it difficult to infiltrate. Several people have tried to visit the laboratory, but have been turned away for various reasons.

The people sent there often disappeared mysteriously without ever returning, and people in nearby towns also frequently went missing. This incident attracted attention, and some people speculated that the missing persons were related to this strange laboratory.

However, since there is no evidence, unfounded suspicion cannot serve as a legitimate reason to initiate a search.

So their mercenary squad received the commission.

Hopefully, they can sneak into the laboratory to find out what's inside, and if the disappearances are related to this laboratory, they can collect evidence.

But after infiltrating the laboratory, they were ambushed and everyone became experimental subjects.
