Collapse: The World I Live In

Chapter 72 Business Trip

As the laboratory door opened, Yi returned to Mebius's laboratory.

"What's the situation?" Mebius was still doing the experiment. Although he didn't turn around to see Yi, he still knew who the person was.

"I got it back, give it to the doctor." After saying that, he threw the syringe containing Qianjie's blood to Mebius.

Mebius took the needle, turned around and looked at Yi, "Pfft..." He looked at Yi's face with a fist mark, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he held back his smile and said, "What are you doing?"

"For some reason, I was punched by Qianjie..." Yi touched the fist mark on his face and said as he felt a slight pain.

"How pitiful." Mobius said, "So what did the top management do with that alien in the end?"

"Under Alicia's persuasion, the top management agreed to let Qianjie and Aponia join the Fire Moth. Qianjie joined the poisonous pupa where Sakura was, while Aponia, the nun with strange powers, remained in the deepest place." Yi said.

"Really? Alicia is always surprising..." Mobius said, stroking his chin.

Just as Yi and Mebius were talking, a black-haired woman walked into the laboratory.

Looking at the visitor, Mobius asked, "Why are you here for no reason? Long." The visitor was Long, one of the senior executives of the Fire Moth.

"Don't be so cold, Dr. Mobius. I'm here for only one thing..." Long said as he came to the other side of Mobius, then pointed at Yi and said, "Lend me your assistant."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Mebius said in surprise. "It's fine if Vilvi comes to borrow him, but what's the point of you, a senior executive who's not even a researcher, coming to borrow him?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't worry, Doctor. This matter may also be good for Yi~" Long put his hands on Mebius' shoulders, winked at Yi and said.

"Me?" Yi asked, pointing at himself.

"That's right. I'm going on a business trip soon to hand over the Fire Moth work to other places. I need a bodyguard, and that bodyguard is you, Yi." Long said.

"Ha! You let a researcher be your bodyguard? Are you okay?" Mebius slapped Long's hands on his shoulders and said with his hands behind his back.

"Mobius, stop kidding yourself. Is Yi really just a researcher?" Long, who was pushed away, was not angry. Instead, he lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "The ability of Yi's eyes is enough to rival Hen and Himeko."

"Then why does it have to be him? Hen? Himeko, why not? I believe if you ask Alicia, Alicia will agree." Mobius said.

"Himeko has gone to Australia for stationing, while Hen and Alicia have gone to look for the Fifth Herrscher's companion Honkai beast. So, the only one I can rest assured with is Yi. So, Mobius, please be kind and lend me Yi for a few days. Besides, the place we're going to this time is not ordinary." Long said with a smile.

"Where?" asked Mebius.

"Yi's sister, Xi is in the city. I guess you haven't seen your sister for a long time. Do you want to go with me?" Long said, stretching out his hand to Yi.

"Doctor, I..." Looking at Long's hand stretched out to him, Yi looked at Mebius' expression.

"Well... go if you want to go." Mobius sighed and let him go. After all, Yi was different from himself. He still had blood relatives in the world, but he... forget it, let's not talk about it.

"Thank you, Doctor." Yi looked at Mebius and said with a smile.

Mebius turned his head away, waved his hand and said nothing more.

"Then lend it to me, Yi. I'll treat you to dinner when I come back~" Long said as he pulled Yi's hand and rushed out.

"Really..." Looking at the two people running away, Mebius also shook his head and said, "It seems that we should recruit some more garrison troops." After that, he returned to his desk and looked through the personal information of the applicants on the desk. Suddenly, he saw two people and whispered, "Danzhu and Cangxuan? Klein's junior schoolmates... these two should be suitable."

……

on the plane,

"How is it? Are you excited? You are about to see your sister whom you haven't seen for a long time." Long, who was sitting next to Yi, asked.

"How should I put it? I have an indescribable feeling. Xi should be a great beauty now... Time flies so fast." Yi thought about his sister's situation and couldn't help but smile, but then he thought of something and said, "It's just that she didn't reply to the message I sent her..."

"It should be something else. He may come back in a while. When you finish the mission for the day, bring your sister out for dinner in the evening so that I can get to know her." Long came to Yi's side and said. At this time, Long was not smoking, so Yi only smelled the fragrance of Long. He blushed and distanced himself from Long, saying, "Hehe, I'll give it a try. After all, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Are you shy?" Seeing Yi's evasive look, Long couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"How is that possible?" Yi replied.

"Hey, your good brother Hen's child is almost six years old, and you haven't gotten married yet. Aren't you in a hurry?" Long suddenly turned to this question, catching Yi off guard.

"Uh...well, there's no rush. But you, you're going to be thirty soon, no rush..." When Yi was about to say something, Long punched Yi in the stomach and said with a smile, "It's not good to mention a woman's age casually." To be honest, Long was very beautiful when she smiled, but if you ignore the murderous intent in her eyes, she would be even more beautiful.

"I know, I know..." Yi looked at Long's expression, swallowed and said.

"Really? Forget it. You're a blockhead and you definitely don't understand anything." Long withdrew his hand, put it behind his head, and said while leaning back in his chair.

"You talk as if you understand it very well..." Yi couldn't help but murmur.

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing..."

"Tsk." Long turned his head and supported his chin with one hand, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Why don't we just get together as a couple?" Long suddenly said at this time.

"What did you say?" Yi said, unable to believe his ears.

"I say! How about we just get together as a couple?" Long turned around and looked at him leaning back in the chair with his hands folded.

"Why?" Yi asked in confusion. He was curious why Long said that.

"Well..." Long touched his chin and said, "You are the only man I like, and you are also excellent enough. You should not know that in my position..." As he spoke, Long couldn't help but sighed and continued, "If I don't get married after I turn 30... the elders in the family may arrange a marriage for me..."

"Uh...it's not a feudal society anymore, why are you still doing this?" Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, it's all for profit. Haven't you heard the saying? The world is bustling with people because of profit. The world is bustling with people because of profit. Isn't marriage for profit, to make one's foundation stronger?" Long sighed and said, "Besides, the family has already notified me and found a fiancé for me..."

"Ah! So fast? Who is that person?" Yi asked after taking a sip of water.

"Erken..." Long said.

"Puff!" Yi spat out a mouthful of water. He couldn't believe what he heard. "Erken? Are you kidding?"

"How could I joke about my marriage?" Long immediately dodged the direction of Yi's spray and said, "It's because if I marry him, both families will benefit. And although the things that Erken did are despised by people, it doesn't prevent him from being a genius... Whether it's technology or politics, he is an absolute genius." To be honest, when Long became a senior executive, it was Erken who was secretly pushing Long to become a senior executive. Without Erken's help, it would not be so easy for Long to become a senior executive. Therefore, Long knows Erken better than Mobius, Mei and anyone else in the senior executives. Erken is not only a person who doesn't care about using any means to achieve his goals, but also a genius covered by power. As far as Long knows, the weapons studied by Weiwei and Yi have all been cracked by Erken and installed in his own self-defense force, that is, the members of the first special unit of the Fire Moth. Everyone in the team is a die-hard fan of Erken. No one listens to Erken except him. Fortunately, Erken's goal is also to fight against the collapse, but the way of fighting is not very humane.

"Oh..." Thinking of this, Long sighed again, looked at Yi next to him, and couldn't help getting angry.

"Little guy, don't think I can't do anything to you." Long thought to herself. In fact, in addition to bringing Yi out as a bodyguard, Long also had another plan, which was to find a way to marry Yi. Yes, you heard it right, Long wanted to marry him for free! She didn't believe that she couldn't do anything to this old virgin with her charm. Although she was also a novice, it didn't hinder her confidence in herself.
