Chapter 150

"..."

Jiang Nian rested his head on his shoulder, took a sip of alcohol, and answered honestly:

"I suspect it's Purification, but without seeing it firsthand, I can't be sure."

This also indirectly proved that his Purification Superpower was truly the key to solving the zombie virus.

So, back then, when the S Base faction and Xia Weiwei had doctors transplant his Medium Crystal Core into Chen Yue, were they genuinely trying to save Chen Yue or just conducting an experiment?

Given Xia Weiwei and S Base's way of handling things, after his death, was Chen Yue truly saved, or did he just become the next victim?

"That's what I think too."

Cheng Jing nodded, then added with relief:

"Fortunately, you've never used your Superpower in front of outsiders, and I haven't provided any information about Purification to the Superpower registry..."

"Sigh—"

Jiang Nian exhaled, pulling back his wandering thoughts. He sighed softly and shook his head:

"*Jing-ge*, I don’t think this can be kept hidden forever. It’s just a question of when. Once they find a breakthrough in researching the energy of the Medium Crystal Core, the experts will figure it out."

"So, what’s your plan?"

Even though they had Director Wang’s assurance, Cheng Jing was still worried if the fact that Purification could counter the zombie virus was exposed.

"..."

Jiang Nian thought seriously for a moment before answering:

"Let’s wait until this energy extraction succeeds. If animals carry this antibody, and we can identify those with this special antibody, we can safely extract the energy once the experiment matures."

"Professor Mo and the others can’t do it now, but maybe when that Superpowered with enhanced cognition arrives, there’ll be a breakthrough. Didn’t you say your brother and his team delayed entering the base because they were researching apocalyptic mutations outside?"

Now, he wasn’t afraid of his Superpower being exposed anymore—it was just a matter of timing.

As long as it was confirmed that the so-called 'energy antibody' was Superpower-based, then with the Medium Crystal Core, they could extract it from animals.

But that would raise another issue:

They’d need to ensure the extracted energy retained its Purify and cleansing properties after medium conversion. Without elite researchers, that would be impossible.

"..."

After listening, Cheng Jing nodded:

"I’ve already told him to get here by the end of June."

"Good!"

With a clang, Jiang Nian tossed the can into the trash and continued:

"By then, my Superpower will have broken through the 500-meter effective range. As long as there’s mutual respect, I don’t mind helping out."

With his Superpower on the verge of evolving its final trait, his confidence surged. He was willing to help restore the world faster—as long as they respected him.

Cheng Jing patted his hand:

"Yeah, don’t force yourself. Whether it’s about people or things, if it makes you uncomfortable, we just won’t get involved."

After speaking, they exchanged a smile. Cheng Jing couldn’t resist lowering his head to cover someone’s lips, which carried a faint hint of alcohol. Unfortunately, just as he was about to deepen the kiss, the unwelcome ringtone of his phone ruined the moment.

It was a call from the command center's hospital check-up department, confirming the time for his team’s physical examination the next day.

The mood vanished instantly. Frustrated, Cheng Jing released him to answer the call, while Jiang Nian licked his lips, still wanting more.

His gaze lingered on his boyfriend for a moment before he got up and left the living room.

After hanging up, Cheng Jing began preparing for work the next day, organizing what he needed.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Nian took a shower by himself, then slipped into the storage room to tinker with something before hurrying back to the bedroom.

Cheng Jing, who was folding his uniform in the living room, almost laughed out loud at his sneaky behavior.

Carrying the neatly folded clothes, he pushed open the bedroom door and saw the little rascal spread out on the bed, carefully examining several boxes laid out before him.

"Ahem!"

Cheng Jing cleared his throat. Jiang Nian looked up and blinked at him, asking:

"Brother Jing, what scent do you prefer?"

Different flavors meant different styles and experiences. Finally, it was his turn to ask this question!

Seeing how excited he was, Cheng Jing suddenly regretted not clarifying earlier. He avoided answering directly, walking over to pick up the boxes and saying:

"Nian Nian, these are all in my size..."

Jiang Nian’s face turned red:

"I couldn’t find any other sizes... I think I can use the large ones too..."

Then, catching sight of Cheng Jing’s poorly hidden smirk, he snapped:

"Wait, Brother Jing, what do you mean by that?"

Implying he wasn’t big enough? Who does he think he’s underestimating?

Did he really have to say it out loud? Can’t we just have a normal relationship?

Cheng Jing quickly sat down to calm him down:

"What I meant was... you might have misunderstood. When I said I’d let you be on top, it wasn’t the same as you wanting to be on top."

"......"

It was a bit confusing, but Jiang Nian’s mind was quick enough to understand it immediately. His face grew even hotter. Taking two deep breaths, he gritted his teeth:

"So? I meant switching positions, but you meant changing techniques!"

Cheng Jing nodded: "Yeah."

"Cheng Jing! I’ll strangle you!"

Jiang Nian tossed the box aside and lunged for the jerk’s neck.

How had he ever thought this low-key kinky and cunning man would agree to let him be on top?!
