After Shi Sheng had finished sowing seeds of discord, she immediately shut up and let them argue amongst themselves. Now that Chang Xinâs people had flocked to his side to help him, Shi Sheng was naturally free.
âBoss, that was amazingâŠâ Qing Yu silently hit an imaginary âlikeâ button for her.
âAre the zombies outside really caused by the gov? Heavens⊠just thinking about it scares me to death. Boss, can you gimme something to eat to suppress this fear?â Little Fatty held out his tubby hand.
âFatty, I feel like the last sentence was the one you really wanted to say!â Having seen through a certain someoneâs intentions, Lin Feng didnât leave any face at all. âThough the matter does look very sinister from hereâŠâ
Shi Sheng tossed the backpack to Little Fatty. There wasnât anything inside, only White Tiger.
âBoss, we wonât be stuck here⊠right?â Lin Feng started worrying.
âWith Boss here, weâll definitely be able to get out!â Qing Yu continued with his blind worship. âDonât worry! Little Fatty, arenât you afraid of exploding if you eat all that on your own? Hurry up and pass some to Boss!!!â
Lin Feng thought about it and agreed. âIt really does seem like thereâs nothing Boss canât do.â
They had clearly already forgotten that their all-powerful Boss hadnât even known how to transfer oil between vehicles when they first met.
Shi Sheng didnât eat much; she just drank a bottle of milk.
Taking advantage of the time when the people around Chang Xin were involved in a heated argument, Shi Sheng went to explore the laboratory. There wasnât much here. The place wasnât in a mess though, so it proved that the lab personnel had evacuated in an orderly manner.
Shi Sheng stopped in front of a blackboard. There were a few A4 size pieces of paper taped to it. She was about to reach out to grab them when another pair of hands beat her to it. Shi Sheng looked at the owner of those hands. It was Song Shi.
âGu Nan, is there a point to sowing discord between them?â Song Shiâs tone was cold.
âYes.â Shi Sheng nodded with a smiling face. âIt proves how dumb they are.â
Song Shi, ââŠâ âDoes she have anti-society sentiments?â
âAh Shi⊠cousin you⊠why are you here?â Qi Mingxue walked over and had an expression of âsurpriseâ, as if she had only just noticed Gu Nan. She then lowered her head pitifully, as if she was being bullied.
âAh Shi⊠More like a shithead1!â Shi Sheng rolled her eyes. âDonât just call out like that. If you want to hug my big thigh, youâll have to line up.â
âPff~â Qing Yu, who just so happened to have come over, broke out in laughter. âTo be honest, Iâm more and more feeling that Bossâ chuunibyou is getting worse.â
Qi Mingxueâs expression turned ugly but she still stubbornly spoke, âCousin, even if you donât like me, you donât have to humiliate me like this.â
âHow have I humiliated you? Did you hear it?â
Qing Yu played along and shook his head. âBoss doesnât like this girl⊠Though she looks pretty, if Boss doesnât like her then I wonât like her! Iâm just that unreasonable!â
âCousin, you-â
Shi Sheng suddenly broke out into a grin. âQi Mingxue, you wanna die? Iâm offering the deluxe set, 80% discount. This is a rare opportunity, want to try it out?â
Qing Yu was speechless. âBoss, can you please be more normal? Suddenly asking someone if they want to die in the middle of a conversation⊠Look! Sheâs been scared stupid already!â
âGu Nan!â Song Shi couldnât continue watching anymore. Killing intent poured off him as he called her name. The first time they met, he hadnât liked this Gu Nan, and now, the second time they met, he still didnât like herâŠ
âIâm just joking. Sheesh, talk about having a stick up your arse.â Shi Sheng was all smiles. âAnyways⊠Qi Mingxue, youâd best hold on tight to that thing of yours. If I were you, I definitely wouldnât take it out. After all, that thing can help out abilities, canât it?â
Qi Mingxue hadnât understood what she was talking about at first, but how could she still not know after she finished?
âSheâs talking about the space⊠She knows⊠How did she find out?! I clearly took it way earlier than she shouldâve found out about itâŠâ
Qi Mingxue was panicking. Even if she had read the whole book and had a lot of advantages, she also understood how powerful a main character halo could be. Before she transmigrated, she was just a normal person.
ââŠCousin, what are you talking about?â Qi Mingxue paled as she spoke before pulling on Song Shi. âAh Shi, Iâm feeling a bit uncomfortable. Letâs go over there to rest.â
Song Shi hadnât taken Gu Nanâs words to heart but Qi Mingxueâs reaction had caused doubts to rise.
The romance in this novel was set to a slow burn. The male lead was the type with a powerful and lofty background. Right now, he was only at the stage of appreciating Qi Mingxue.
Shi Shengâs words were no different from giving Song Shi an eye-opener. From now on, he would observe Qi Mingxue, even if it was just subconsciously. There would come a time when he would find something off about herâŠ
Qi Mingxue was afraid of Gu Nan saying more, so she dragged Song Shi away.
âŠâŠ
Only after Qi Mingxue left did Qing Yuâwho had been acting as a background prop all this timeâmove forward. âBoss, look at this.â
He had found a diary from somewhere and it was flipped open. The paper was very old and the words written on it were a bit blurred:
1995, July 25th, heavy rain
This is already the sixth day since the rainstorm began. There have been disasters everywhere. My meeting with him can only be pushed back. I hope I get to see him soon.
1995, July 30th, overcast
I heard we got a strange corpse today. As to why itâs strange, my colleagues donât know either. That corpse seems to have existed for a long time. Itâs being guarded closely. How curious.
1996, August 27th, overcast
I joined the new research team. Weâre researching that mysterious corpse. We had to sign a confidentiality contract. No oneâs allowed to bring a single word concerning this out of the laboratoryâŠ
1996, October 11th, clear skies
He came.
âŠâŠ
1997, October 22nd, overcast
I saw the corpse that was the reason we were required to sign the confidentiality contractâŠ
I donât know how to describe it. Itâs very weird. It makes people uncomfortable but everyone here seems excited. When I saw their expressions, I felt strangely sick.
âŠâŠ
The diary entries were written in no particular consistent frequency. There wasnât much description about the corpse, but every time there was, the author would use the word âstrangeâ or âoddâ to describe it. The author would also use words like âuncomfortableâ or ârepressedâ to describe how they felt when they saw the corpse.
There was another person mentioned. That person ought to be the person the diaryâs owner liked. There wasnât much about him in the diary either. Only a few words in relation to him were written, and his name was always replaced by âheâ. The last few pages had some blood splatters on them.
1998, July 6th, rain
Iâm pregnant. Iâm very happy. Perhaps Iâll be able to have a cute son not too long later⊠En, perhaps itâll be a daughter. But no matter a boy or a girl, I want to give this child the best this world has to offer.
1998, July 18th, rain
I think theyâve all gone crazy.
1998, October 19th, clear
I have to get out of here
1998, October 25th, rain
Heâll help me. For the child.
1998, November 2nd, clear

The entries ended there. But the name it was signed off with stunned Shi Sheng.
Cheng Su. Gu Nanâs mother.
Shi Sheng felt depressed. âThis body was a main character after all⊠to be expected the world would give her a complicated background⊠No wonder I activated a side questâŠâ
