Han Jianchuan hadn't been back to the laboratory for a long time. He was so focused on his work that he accidentally forgot to check the time and was awakened from his work at night.

He hurriedly took off his sterile work clothes and changed into his own clothes.

Walking out of the experimental building, he met a couple. Because of his high reputation in the base, everyone respected him.

The woman stuffed a bar of chocolate into his hand, and before Han Jianchuan could react, she pulled her husband away.

Han Jianchuan stared at the thing in his hand, his mind full of Xu Muzhe's face.

In the end times, being able to eat enough is a luxury, let alone this kind of snack. The packaging is a little wrinkled, maybe the couple couldn't bear to eat it and kept touching it.

He suddenly remembered that Xu Muzhe hadn't eaten this kind of thing for a long time and must be craving for it.

Thinking of Xu Muzhe's satisfied expression, Han Jianchuan couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked towards the single apartment.

Han Jianchuan came to the door, turned the doorknob, and saw that the room was pitch black. He frowned.

escaped?

I really shouldn’t have trusted Xu Muzhe.

Han Jianchuan crushed the chocolate, turned around with a gloomy face, and exuded a terrifying low pressure.

At the same time, Xu Muzhe stared at the slums expressionlessly. The noisy noises and foul smells made Xu Muzhe's eyes go dark and his head buzzing.

Chen Chechi had already distributed the strawberries to his subordinates. He was folding his arms and staring at Xu Muzhe with an eye that showed he was waiting for a good show.

"Sure enough, this place is a perfect match for you." Chen Chechi curled his lips and said in a bad tone, "You don't contribute much to the base, so just live here. As for what to eat, someone will deliver food every afternoon. The quantity is limited, so you should stay strong and grab it from them."

Xu Muzhe raised his eyes and looked at Chen Chechi, his face without any emotion, and he did not take his ridicule to heart.

"Do you think Han Jianchuan would be willing to place me here?"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Chen Chechi's face changed.

But he didn't want to admit defeat, so he curled the corners of his stiff lips and continued to look at the other person with contempt.

"It's too easy to kill someone in the base. Besides, everyone knows that you're playing with Dr. Han's feelings and you don't really treat him well. So I just need to get everyone to give a unified statement and say that you sneaked out of the base by yourself."

"Then he won't stay in the base." Xu Muzhe sneered, and then said, "He will leave the base and look for me everywhere. He won't come back for a while, and you need him."

Chen Chechi lost again.

Han Jianchuan would indeed do so. He regarded Xu Muzhe too highly. Even if Chen Chechi and the others offered very good conditions, it would be impossible to keep Han Jianchuan.

Han Jianchuan clenched his fists, his eyes darkening. "You don't even like Dr. Han, so why do you have to drag him down like this? He can obviously live a better life. Everyone respects him, but you're the only one who keeps trampling on him."

Xu Muzhe put away his smile, his eyes were as cold as an ice cone, almost piercing through Chen Chechi.

"What does it have to do with you what happens between him and me?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Chen Chechi yelled at him, "I like Han Jianchuan, I can't bear to see him being so humble."

Xu Muzhe glanced at him indifferently, ignored his roar, walked around him and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going!" Chen Chechi grabbed his arm and gritted his teeth, "You stay here. You are not qualified to live in such a nice house."

Xu Muzhe lowered his eyes to look at the location of the gun, which was on Chen Chechi's waist. Judging from this man's reaction, he probably wouldn't pull out the gun and point it at him so quickly.

After guessing the danger, Xu Muzhe pressed his fragile neck with his backhand and threw him hard to the floor.

Chen Chechi opened his eyes wide and stared at Xu Muzhe in disbelief until his back fell on the cold, hard ground, causing him to cry in pain.

"Fuck, you dare to hit me." Chen Chechi cursed, "Let me go now."

Xu Muzhe's eyes narrowed, and he pressed the hand on his neck slightly, causing Chen Chechi to cough violently.

“Let go… cough cough cough…let go of me… cough cough…” Chen Chechi’s face turned blue from coughing, “Get out of the way… cough cough…don’t pinch my neck… cough cough cough…neck…”

Xu Muzhe let go of his hand and said in a dangerous voice, "You just came here earlier and occupied the best resources. Once you lose your gun, you will be like a waste."

"What did you say!"

Chen Chechi was angered by his words and reached for his waist.

But Xu Muzhe reacted first, snatched his gun, and put it against his temple.

"You...what are you going to do..."

Chen Chechi panicked, all his attention was focused on the gun in Xu Muzhe's hand, fearing that he would pull the trigger.

Xu Muzhe smiled, his eyes cold, and said nonchalantly, "Didn't you always say that it's easy to kill someone in the base? So, what do you think I'm going to do?"

Chen Chechi met his dangerous gaze, his voice trembling.

"You...you are crazy...I was just joking...and there are so many people here...do you think you...you can escape?"

"Then give it a try and bet on whether I can escape."

Xu Muzhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and in the tense atmosphere, he made a "bang" sound with his mouth.

Chen Chechi was so frightened that his body trembled, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his lips turned pale as if they had lost all their blood.

"I didn't realize you were such a coward." Xu Muzhe put away his gun. "As I expected, you are just a loser who relies on weapons."

After learning that Xu Muzhe was deliberately trying to scare him, Chen Chechi's face turned very ugly, "Xu Muzhe, you are dead, I will not let you go."

Xu Muzhe curled his lips and was about to say something in response when Han Jianchuan's cold voice sounded not far away.

"Xu Muzhe, what are you doing?"
