Who moved her body?

The man in the white coat walked to the glass wall, pressed a button in front of him, and the room behind the glass wall was immediately filled with smoke. The inhuman-looking thing opened its mouth and screamed.

A horrifying, chilling scream pierced through the thick glass wall. Before the person disappeared into the mist, those dark eyes remained fixed on Guan Jie.

"He can see me; he's calling for help!"

Guan Jie's hand unconsciously clenched tighter. "A living, breathing life. I can't just stand by and watch someone die."

The woman in the room glanced at the computer and then said to her companion, "Dead. But this zombie set a new survival record, which is quite interesting. If you hadn't sprayed such a large dose of the drug, he might have lasted another two days."

"Anyway, the new drug has already been successfully developed. This failed experimental subject will be disposed of sooner or later, so it doesn't matter whether it dies sooner or later. It saves me the trouble of seeing it every day. Hey? You're not going to miss it, are you?"

"Oh, you heartless bastard, what do I have to be reluctant to part with?" The woman stood up, walked towards the man, and said, "You're just jealous, aren't you? Jealous that even if he becomes a zombie, some parts of his body are still better than yours..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, the man silenced her with a kiss, and the two began foreplay in an indescribable activity.

Guan Jie shivered and slowly put the louvers back on the vent. He glanced at the 'monster' that had disappeared into the mist, then quickly and quietly left.

"Zombies? How could there be zombies?" Guan Jie's mind was filled with images of what was behind the glass wall, which looked just like the zombies he had seen on TV.

He suddenly remembered Xu Haiyang saying, "If a drug is illegal, then how should clinical trials be conducted?" Then he thought about what the man had just said, "Anyway, the new drug has already been successfully developed; this failed experimental product will be disposed of sooner or later..."

Guan Jie seemed to understand. The reason Diro's headquarters was located on this small island surrounded by the sea, with such tight security, was definitely not simply to protect the new drug from leaks. They were conducting clandestine research, and the subjects of their experiments were people!

Yesterday, Guan Jie still believed that zombies were just a species existing in novels and television, something invented by writers who had nothing better to do than write scary novels to frighten people.

Right now, Guan Jie just wants to get the medicine as soon as possible and then take Song Xiaoxian away from this troublesome place.

He told himself, "I am not a saint who can save the world, I don't have that ability. The only thing I can do now is to save Xiaoxian and then take her to the ends of the earth."

……

Below the vent is a room filled with infrared alarms. The dense infrared beams are intertwined, like lines drawn by an ignorant child, chaotic and disorderly. Even the Phantom Thief Kid would have difficulty crossing a meter here.

After waiting for half a minute, when the minute hand of the watch reached twelve, all the red threads in the room suddenly disappeared, as if countless hands had simultaneously pulled away the scattered yarn, and suddenly everything was neat again.

"6:45." Guan Jie tied the sleeves of his jacket to the nail driven into the pipe, removed the blinds, and jumped down.

The door at the end of the room was like an impregnable castle, looking down on everything in front of it.

Guan Jie put on the silicone fingerprint sleeve that Xu Haiyang had given him and pressed it on the fingerprint display area.

The fingerprint reader lit up green, and the card reader below displayed the message, "Please place your card to verify your identity." Guan Jie placed his card there, and when both lights turned green, he pressed the open button, and the door slid smoothly backward.

It was as secure as the place where the central bank stored gold bars, except that the temperature here was like a cold storage for seafood. Guan Jie's nostrils immediately contracted from the cold, and a soreness came over him. Guan Jie pinched his nose to suppress the sneeze that was about to come out.

The room, which was no less than 100 square meters, was covered with black flooring. The crystal-like brightness gave the entire room a black light, making it as unbelievable as a black beauty.

Guan Jie didn't need to look for what he was looking for at all, because it was right in the middle of the room.

A black main body, over a meter tall, stands in the center of the room, topped with an octahedral cone-shaped crystal dome, each side of which is triangular. A cylindrical container, about the thickness of a little finger, contains five milliliters of yellowish-green solution, as dazzling as the black base.

Guan Jie put on silicone gloves, removed the crystal cover, wrapped the life-saving medicine in a veil, and put it into a thermos he had prepared beforehand with ice cubes.

Having obtained what he needed, Guan Jie raised his wrist to check his watch.

Time was running out; he had to leave immediately, or the infrared beams would be activated.

As soon as Guan Jie rolled up his sleeves, the infrared sensor below lit up excitedly.

Returning the way they came, just as Guan Jie was about to pass the room where the "monster" had appeared, a wisp of dust fell from the louvers of the ventilation vent.

The white dust was unusually conspicuous under the light, like a waterfall after rain, drifting towards the woman lying on her back on the table, exercising.

The woman's eyes were glazed over, opening and closing intermittently.

"Don't open your eyes!" Guan Jie prayed.

Just as Guan Jie had expected, the woman did not open her eyes, but her mouth was wide open.

It arrived at just the right time; the entire ash fell into the woman's mouth.

"Honey, I feel something fall down."

"I didn't see it," the man said. "You must be hallucinating from excitement, darling!"

"I really think so..."

……

Guan Jie installed the louvers on the bathroom vent, and just then, the repairman pulled out a water-absorbing resin ball.

"All done." The repairman pressed the flush button, and the toilet returned to normal with a gurgling sound.

Guan Jie opened the door, and together with the repairman and the tools they had brought, they went to the exit with the security guard and signed the "Security Accompaniment Form".

.......

The annual Diro internal cocktail party has become increasingly low-key and mysterious. Key figures from different departments and projects attended in formal attire, greeting each other while remaining wary of one another, adding a touch of ambiguity to the atmosphere.

Situ Feng held a tall, slender champagne glass in his right hand, exchanging pleasantries with these core members of Diruo, making them all feel the 'equal distribution of favors' from Diruo's boss.

This was Xu Haiyang's first time attending as an employee of Diruo, and his young, unfamiliar face was quite a novelty to some people from outside the island. When they learned that Xu Haiyang was Situ Feng's cousin, they all showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.

Everyone knows that the Situ family does not tolerate interference from relatives of the mother in family affairs, but no one expected that this ironclad rule would be broken by Situ Feng.

"What does the boss mean?"

"Since the boss didn't say, we can't speculate. I suppose the boss has his own reasons, after all, times have changed."

"Yes, that's true. We can't just dismiss relatives by marriage. After all, the young master grew up in the Situ family since he was a child. We know him well, so he can be considered a member of the Situ family."

……

After finishing his drink, Dr. Chen turned around casually and saw Dr. Qin, who had just entered the room.

Dr. Qin's round, ageless face displayed his ever-endearing smile. As soon as he entered, two people pulled him aside and asked him why he was late for such an important party.

Dr. Chen listened attentively.

"Oh dear, I've been wanting to come for ages, but I just can't seem to get this program right. If I put it down, my train of thought just stops. I don't know if my brain's deteriorating; something I usually finish in five minutes took me fifty minutes today." Dr. Qin shook his head apologetically. "While being late is bad, not doing your job well is even worse, don't you all agree?"

"Be careful, the boss might find out and punish you with three drinks." Someone joked with a chuckle.

Dr. Qin raised his hand to beckon the waiter to bring the drinks, and then tilted his head back and downed three glasses.

"If you make a mistake, you should take the initiative to admit it and accept the punishment. How can you wait for the boss to criticize you? Don't you all agree?" Dr. Qin said, wiping his mouth.

"Everyone says people who are good with computers aren't good with words, but we think it's the opposite!"

"Yeah, that's right. Your drinking has made us too embarrassed to tattle on you, hahaha."

Dr. Qin quickly integrated into the group, and naturally no one noticed that he was late.

A waiter approached Dr. Chen and whispered something in his ear. Dr. Chen then put down his wine glass and went to the door.

"How did you get here? What did you find?" Dr. Chen asked.

"Doctor, we've been following Zhao Ren, but he shook us off last night and disappeared. We can't find him anywhere, so we're here to report to you."
