    Chapter 96 – Their Love

    Ning Fei roughly explained the whole story of his bet with Duan Yunhong to Yu Zhou.

    Of course, he didn’t hide the fact that they had a “physical relationship,” but he didn’t go into too many details.

    Even so, Yu Zhou couldn’t help but frown and say, “Just like that?”

    “Just like that.”

    “I still don’t understand, how could you just give away the location marker so easily? That’s not like you.” Yu Zhou questioned, “You actually maintained a P-friend relationship with him for three worlds, and you even cooperated for one world, could it be that you…?”

    “No. With a ‘fortune bandit’? Am I crazy?” Ning Fei replied indifferently, “Don’t overthink it, he will crush the location marker in front of me after this world ends.”

    “I still think this relationship between you two is strange. From your description, he’s a very proud and self-respecting person, even if he came to you because he was tricked, he should have directly retaliated against you, right? ‘Fortune bandits’ are very cruel, even more so than us.” Yu Zhou pointed out the doubts, “How could such a person be willing to be directed by you for an entire world, just for a fair game? Even if you don’t have any feelings for him, what if he has those kinds of intentions towards you?”

    “What does that have to do with me?” Ning Fei glanced at him, “So many people in the Bureau have intentions towards you, what kind of response have you given?”

    “Ha, those people, forget it.” Yu Zhou chuckled, “You know, I can’t play any love games with someone who has the same long lifespan and can go to many worlds.”

    “You’re once bitten, twice shy.” Ning Fei lowered his eyes, his tone cold, “Those men and women in the Bureau who are heartbroken should blame that idiot who didn’t end things well with you.”

    “You’re giving that guy too much credit by saying that.” Yu Zhou smiled, turned and walked to the window, looking at the crowds outside, “But he did give me a profound lesson. So, I can develop feelings for these people in the mission worlds, whose lifespans are only a hundred years, several hundred years, or even thousands of years. Anyway, eventually everything will return to dust, and no matter what happens, I can leave everything and say goodbye to everything when I leave this world. A journey with an end is more reassuring.”

    Speaking of this, he turned to look at Ning Fei: “But you see, the partners I find in the mission worlds are actually quite similar. Isn’t this a kind of ‘devotion’?”

    “I don’t want to hear you preach your views on love.” Ning Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, “In short, I told you about Duan Yunhong’s existence to remind you. If you capsize in the gutter, don’t blame me.”

    “Pfft, if I fail this mission, am I the only one who loses face? Won’t you, the one who came to help, lose face too?” Yu Zhou turned back, leaned against the windowsill, and looked at Ning Fei, “But have the two of us ever failed when we teamed up? He can’t even beat you alone, let alone with me. Besides, I finished this round of the mission long ago, you’re just here to sit back and win. In that case, you should agree to my request even more.”

    “Is this a task that can be compared to that?” Ning Fei leaned against the back of the chair and chuckled softly, “But you’re right, in this situation, at least I can sit back and win against him. Finally, it’s my turn to have the advantage, if he surpasses me, neither of us will have the face to go back to the Bureau.”

    “It’s you, don’t include me.” Yu Zhou shrugged, “Even if I fail, I won’t leave, I’ll enjoy my love first.”

    Ning Fei smiled evilly: “What if you get dumped, wouldn’t that be a double blow when you go back?”

    Yu Zhou “tsk”ed: “Don’t curse me, okay? The love I have in the mission worlds is quite happy, it’s a pretty good entertainment activity. To take a step back, if Lao Yue and I break up early, I’ll go find someone else to have fun with. With Lao Yue’s temper, it would piss him off.”

    After a pause, he asked: “Hey, is that Duan guy you mentioned really that good in bed?”

    Ning Fei: “…Why are you asking this?”

    Yu Zhou: “Nothing, just asking. What, not letting me touch your stuff?”

    “Don’t say it so disgusting.” Ning Fei said lightly, “I just feel that it would be a little weird to share the same… ‘entertainment tool’ with you.”

    “…” Yu Zhou was silent for two seconds, “You’re right. Just imagining it gives me goosebumps, tsk, I can’t think about it anymore!”

    As the Minister of Human Resources and Social Security in the Tianyue Base, Yu Zhou is also very busy.

    He didn’t have time to spend a lot of time explaining the entire base’s operation to Ning Fei, explaining how he planned to promote the “complete end of the zombie crisis.” Fortunately, they were already familiar with each other’s working methods, so Ning Fei immediately transformed into Yu Zhou’s first special assistant, assisting him in his work while observing the operation of the Tianyue Base with his own eyes.

    In general, this is a base managed by military and civilians together, with more than three million permanent residents. For this mission world where the population has been sharply reduced, this is a very large base, ranking in the top five and competing for the top three in the country. Due to the joint efforts of the military and civilians, the Tianyue Base has outstanding combat capabilities, so the safety factor is relatively high. On the other hand, the scientific research capabilities of the Tianyue Base are relatively average. And in Yu Zhou’s plan, improving scientific research capabilities is the most important part of dealing with the zombie crisis.

    “Chen Yikun… I mean, the original owner, heard a piece of news before he died, that the team led by his senior brother was suppressed in the Huichuan base. In desperation, that senior brother committed suicide, and the rest of the team disbanded.” Taking advantage of the fact that the office became only the two of them again, Yu Zhou explained his thinking to Ning Fei, “Chen Yikun believes that this senior brother’s team is the most likely to develop a vaccine. However, at that time, the research results of the Jinghui Base were more numerous, and some people in Huichuan were targeting this team, so the entire team was destroyed before any results were produced.”

    “So you want to dig the team over to do research?” Ning Fei asked in confusion, “If they really have the ability, why didn’t the Tianyue Base and the Jinghui Base poach them away in Chen Yikun’s previous life, and let them die or disband?”

    “Huichuan’s methods of blocking people are very tricky.” Yu Zhou replied, “I’ve already experienced it. Before, Lao Yue heard that one of his old comrades was being targeted in Huichuan, and wanted to pull the entire team of that comrade over, and he talked back and forth several times without success. Later, I secretly contacted the people there and used some tricks to get them over. But the scene at that time was not very good, and now I want to dig up the scientific research team, I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.”

    “It’s good that you can use tricks, which means it’s not a monolith.” Ning Fei said, “Don’t you have ideas and means? Why did you ask me to come?”

    “Now it’s enough to be annoyed by managing the human resources of this base, and I also have to take the time to pay attention to those useful scientific research teams, ensure their materials, and urge their progress… I stayed to fall in love, not to dedicate my whole life to the great cause of saving the world.” Yu Zhou propped his chin and looked at Ning Fei with a smile, “Moreover, in terms of playing dirty, aren’t you better than me? You can definitely achieve the goal faster, and then Lao Yue and I can live a relaxed life, and he won’t be called out in the middle of the night to deal with emergencies.”

    Ning Fei: “I suspect that your real purpose is the last sentence. Could it be that he was called away from bed? You hold a grudge in your heart? 4 million for a peaceful and happy nightlife?”

    “Think what you want, anyway, this matter is not as simple as you think. If this one team is not enough, then we have to continue to dig. Even if the vaccine is researched out, how to make the base make money and be able to spread it quickly is also a very troublesome thing.” Yu Zhou flipped through the documents in front of him again, “In addition, there is competition and conflict between the major bases, and the base is not a monolith inside. In this place, it is not strange for anyone to die at any time. Therefore, even if you think of a good idea, Lao Yue asks to implement it, the following may not be fully implemented. How to earn this 4 million faster and get rid of that ‘fortune bandit’ depends on your actions.”

    “Once the number of people exceeds a certain scale, this is inevitable. People, the difference in thinking is greater than the difference between humans and apes.” Ning Fei replied, “However, you encourage me to do something dirty, can that Yue Fengping accept these?”

    Yu Zhou replied: “Generally, it’s okay, too anti-human is not okay. He is a relatively righteous person, although sometimes the way of justice is more flexible.”

    “Ah, is that the kind of ruffian? Understood.” Ning Fei nodded, “Then what about things that are more excessive than this?”

    “What do you think?”

    “…So you want me to hide it from him and do it secretly?” Ning Fei raised his eyebrows, “This kind of style of doing a lot behind the scenes but not saying anything… Don’t love too much, love brain.”

    “Every time I fall in love, you satirize me. I don’t expect blessings, but can you have something else to say, little Ning Fei?” Yu Zhou smiled, “Aren’t you jealous of me? Occasionally change your style of focusing on the body and not the heart, how about a pleasant and physically and mentally satisfying love?”

    “Ha, your kind of ‘world-abandoning’ love? I respectfully decline.” Ning Fei twitched the corners of his mouth, “Why don’t you say that it’s these broken love affairs you’ve had that make me completely hopeless about this kind of thing? Instead of pursuing emotional satisfaction in a virtual way, physical satisfaction is more practical. You can leave after you get it, and you don’t have to spend too much energy.”

    “Hahahaha, so it’s my fault? As a teacher, I gave the wrong demonstration, I do have some responsibility.” Yu Zhou laughed, “But I’m just giving you a bad example, it’s okay to find some fun in the mission world, I support you.”

    Ning Fei said with a cold face: “I slept with Duan Yunhong in the mission world. I originally planned to go back to the mission world to play with him after resting, but, as you can see.”

    “Pfft hahahaha…” Yu Zhou laughed completely, “Then you can only be considered unlucky! But his kung fu is good, also because he practiced it in various worlds with a thousand people, right? You are about the same, you are quite compatible in this regard.”

    “Don’t match us, how disgusting?”

    “Hey, okay, I won’t say it.” Yu Zhou finally gradually restrained his smile and said jokingly, “I want to see you, how are you going to get rid of this big trouble!”
