Chapter 78 p2
On the other side, the white coat’s accomplice directly carried him and slipped away. To not attract too much attention, he even went to the trouble of going around the crowded places. It took him a full five minutes to throw the white coat into the car.
After starting the car, the accomplice drove towards the location of the research institute while contacting his superior with the base’s exclusive number.
“What’s wrong? Is Wen Runan interested in improving her ability?” The doctor’s voice sounded very young. If it weren’t for the fact that he had known the doctor before the apocalypse and knew that he was already seventy, even if he saw him in person, he would only think that he was just in his early twenties.
“No. Old San’s wording was probably a bit problematic. The person named Li Mo beside her found out and directly grabbed Old San and punched him twice,” the accomplice slammed on the accelerator. “Doctor, I’ll bring Old San back first. His injuries are quite serious now.”
“His wording was not right? What did he say?” The doctor frowned. It was just a small matter of winning someone over. It wasn’t the first time Old San had done it. How could there still be a problem?
The accomplice hesitated for a moment. He had not actually heard what Old San had said, so he could only repeat the words that Li Mo had said loudly.
“Idiot,” the doctor cursed in a low voice. “How is he now?”
The accomplice said truthfully, “He’s probably in too much pain, so he fainted.”
“Take him directly to the sixth basement level. Let him try the latest developed potion,” the doctor’s voice soon returned to calm. “If he can’t even handle such a small matter, he has no value. You shouldn’t make the same mistake he made, right?”
Hearing this, the accomplice’s forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was beating faster than when he had faced Li Mo before. He repeatedly promised, “Yes, I know. Don’t worry, doctor. I will handle this matter well!”
After ending the call, the doctor directly threw the communication device on the table, and his face also darkened.
“Doctor, is the matter not progressing smoothly?” a man in his late twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked over. He was holding a document in his hand, which looked like he had just finished organizing the experimental data.
The doctor glanced at the man, then pinched the bridge of his nose. “Old San has been getting arrogant recently. He’s speaking more and more without any sense of propriety. I’ve transferred him to the sixth level. If you need him, Gu Sheng, you can use him as you please.”
Gu Sheng’s eyebrows lowered slightly. “Didn’t Old San go to contact the ability user? Did the other party refuse?”
“Mm, they probably noticed something, or Old San let something slip, which made her wary,” the doctor would not fully believe his subordinate’s report.
In his opinion, it was indeed possible that Old San had said something wrong, but if the other party was really willing to accept the recruitment, they would definitely not mind a small problem with the wording. Even if they were a little tempted, they would not throw the entire black pot on the research institute and ruin the research institute’s image among the people.
Gu Sheng pondered. “Doctor, why don’t you let me go and talk to the other party? I’m still quite curious about that Wen Runan. I’ve heard that she can summon lightning very easily and is also very skilled at controlling her ability.”
“You’re going?” The doctor thought for a moment, then shook his head. “Old San has just been rebuffed. If you go today, you might arouse their resentment. Your ability is brain domain development. What if they damage your head?”
Gu Sheng smiled. “You may be overthinking it, doctor. The one who offended them was Old San. Old San has already been beaten. I have no grievances with them. If I just go and visit tomorrow, at most, I will just be driven out.”
The doctor thought for a moment and did not continue to stop Gu Sheng. “Alright. You can do as you see fit. At that time, you can take someone with you. If something happens, you can let him block for you.”

After returning to the third floor that belonged to the two of them, Wen Runan and Li Mo threw themselves into the work of interior design and began to decorate their room with the newly collected supplies.
“Boss Wen, I’ll just throw this bed into my space for now. At that time, my room will be used as a walk-in closet,” Li Mo said and directly put away the bed. At the same time, she placed a more than three-meter-long large wardrobe against the wall.
“If this is used as a walk-in closet, it will be a bit troublesome to go back and forth to get and change clothes. Why don’t we put the wardrobe in my room?” Wen Runan stroked her chin.
“Then let’s put the clothes that are not often used here?” Li Mo said, knocking on the wall. “Or we can just tear down this wall and directly turn it into a large room.”
“Isn’t that too inconvenient? If we want to tear down the wall, we still need to find a renovation worker,” Wen Runan frowned slightly. She was no longer repulsed by sharing a bed now, and naturally, she would not object to the proposal of breaking through the two rooms.
“Simple. Have you forgotten my new ability, Boss Wen?” Li Mo winked at Wen Runan, and then soon, both of her hands were abilitized. Resilient green strips soon covered the entire wall.
Wen Runan rubbed her eyes and silently made a swallowing motion. To wrap an entire wall with her own hands was something that only Li Mo could do.
“Look carefully, Boss Wen,” as she spoke, Li Mo further activated her ability, turning the green strips on the edge into sharp metal blades, and pierced through the wall like cutting tofu.
A rumbling sound was heard. Wen Runan seemed to feel the ground shake a little. By the time she came to her senses, the wall that had originally been the partition between the two rooms had disappeared out of thin air, leaving only dust and a not-so-good-looking wall.
“We’ll just find some wooden boards and wallpaper to patch it up in a bit,” Li Mo quickly withdrew her ability and touched the cross-section of the wall with her normal hand.
It was still smooth. It seemed that her control ability had become a little more skilled.
“Alright…” Wen Runan’s face was complicated. She felt that she should praise Li Mo, but she didn’t know where to start. She could only say dryly, “It’s good. The room is very big now.”
“So, are we sleeping?” Li Mo asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Sleep!” Wen Runan gave the answer. “Let’s do the rest tomorrow. It’s almost time to stop the power supply.”
“Do you need me to scrub your back, Boss Wen?” Li Mo said, raising her hand. “I can just stick one hand in, and I won’t go in.”
“…” Wen Runan directly pressed down Li Mo’s raised hand. “That’s a good suggestion. Don’t say it again next time.”
What the hell was this! If it was just one hand coming in to help her bathe, it would be better for her to just come in and obediently help her bathe.
“Alright,” Li Mo was a little regretful. She hadn’t even asked to go in herself. What a pity.
Wen Runan’s bed was two meters wide. After they lay down on the inside and outside, there was still about half a meter between them. It was impossible to expect Wen Runan to take the initiative, so Li Mo was very direct. After adjusting the night light, she directly moved closer.
“Won’t it be too hot if you hug me like this?” Wen Runan hesitated for a moment and did not pull away the hand on her waist.
“I’m not afraid of the cold, nor am I afraid of the heat,” Li Mo said, pausing for a moment. “My body temperature is constant. Sleeping with me is like sleeping with an air conditioner.”
“Hot in the winter and cool in the summer?” Wen Runan turned over, so that the two of them were facing each other.
“I can’t guarantee that, but you can feel it for yourself, Boss Wen,” Li Mo smiled. Seeing that Wen Runan had no intention of refusing, she slowly moved her head closer.
“Can I kiss you, Boss Wen?” Li Mo rested her head on Wen Runan’s shoulder and closed her eyes, feeling this long-lost embrace.
“If I refuse, you won’t kiss me?” Wen Runan asked. Logically speaking, she felt that she should push the other person away, but for some reason, she just couldn’t extend her hand. She even had an absurd idea of wanting to hold the other person tightly and make the distance between them zero.
Li Mo gave a hum and replied softly, “If you refuse, Boss Wen, I will be obedient.”
“You can,” Wen Runan didn’t know why she had such a strange idea. She simply chose to go with her feelings, reached out and hugged Li Mo, and also pressed her head against her.
“But it’s limited to kissing. You can’t do anything else,” Wen Runan closed her eyes. After losing her vision, her hearing and touch immediately became sharper.
The originally not-so-obvious breathing and heartbeat suddenly began to grow louder. Wen Runan could even feel Li Mo’s breathing become a little heavier.
A gentle kiss landed on the side of Wen Runan’s face. Before she could open her eyes, another kiss landed on her forehead, then between her eyebrows, then on the bridge of her nose, the tip of her nose, and finally on her slightly open red lips.
Li Mo was very obedient. She had said that there would only be kissing, and there was only kissing. It was just that Li Mo had kissed many places, and for a relatively long time.
Did that count as keeping her promise?
It should, right?
