Chapter 106 Yue Manzhang Returns
Chapter 106 Yue Manzhang Returns
Under their watchful eyes, Wang Xiao picked up the potion and said, "Hold out your hand."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yan looked at the green liquid. It was impossible for him not to feel any fear at all.
Although Wang Xiao assured him that there would be no danger to his life after the injection, there was no reference point to rely on. As a staunch materialist, if there were...
Before Wei Yan could prepare himself, Wang Xiao grabbed his arm and, without even opening the safety pin on the potion, plunged it into his vein.
Wei Yan (゚д゚): "Hmm?"
Ugh, damn it!
Couldn't you have given him more time to prepare?
Brother, are you in a hurry?
At that moment, countless images flashed through Wei Yan's mind.
Wei Yan recalled all the best things that happened to him during his life, but even that couldn't hide the sadness he felt at that moment...
Wang Xiao didn't give Wei Yan any time to prepare, and even the way he injected him was extremely rough.
While administering the injection, Wang Xiao couldn't resist commenting: "You're acting all girly even when getting a shot. With that kind of guts, how can I trust you to do anything big?"
After completing the injection, Wang Xiao casually placed the medicine bottle on the table, then sat back in the boss's chair, lit a cigarette, and began to observe Wei Yan's reaction.
If Xue Wu hadn't known that the potion was a good thing, he would have really thought that there was some kind of grudge between the two.
Just as Wei Yan was about to explain to Wang Xiao that he wasn't a woman, a sharp pain instantly made him squat down and curl up into a ball.
Xue Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, this!"
Wang Xiao glanced at it and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Wow, is it necessary to react so strongly?
But the system says everything's fine, so it should be... really... probably... nothing's wrong, right?
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Wang Xiao said calmly, "Don't worry, he won't die. Don't worry about him."
"yes……"
Seeing that Wang Xiao said so, Xue Wu felt relieved.
After all, the boss said he wouldn't die, so he definitely wouldn't die!
Unable to speak due to the pain, but having overheard their conversation, Wei Yan painfully stretched out his hand, his mouth slightly open: "Are you going to die?!"
Wang Xiao saw Wei Yan's mouth movements, selectively ignoring them while encouragingly saying, "Hang in there, these are normal reactions. It means the medicine is working. If you can't even endure this little bit of suffering, how will you achieve your goal?"
The intense pain throughout his body caused Wei Yan to gradually lose consciousness.
But Wang Xiao's words deeply affected him, bringing him back to his senses.
My purpose?
My goal...my goal...I want to go home!
Yes, I want to go home!!! My parents are still waiting for me!!!
Despite the pain, Wei Yan suddenly grabbed the table and stood up tremblingly, shouting, "Big brother! I..."
The sudden shout made Wang Xiao sit up straight, and the cigarette in his hand trembled uncontrollably.
Xue Wu was also taken aback by Wei Yan's reaction.
Just when the two thought Wei Yan was going to say something... nothing happened.
Xue Wu looked at Wang Xiao with a puzzled expression and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with Brother Wei?"
Wang Xiao didn't speak, but first placed his left index finger in front of Wei Yan's nose, and after a while said:
"He's not dead. He looks like he's passed out from the pain. Let's get him to my bed."
"it is good."
Watching Wei Yan being dragged away, Wang Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "Sigh, these young people nowadays, they can't even handle this little bit of hardship. It seems we still need to train this kid more in the future."
After Xue Wu dragged Wei Yan onto the bed, Wang Xiao said, "Alright, it's getting late. You can go now. Make sure to arrange the manpower properly, and contact me immediately once Yue Man and the others return!"
Xue Wu replied, "Yes."
After seeing Xue Wu off, and looking at Wei Yan who had taken over his bed, Wang Xiao, as a "perfect" boss who cared for his subordinates, felt too embarrassed to wake him up to go back to sleep. He could only lean back in his boss's chair and make do for the night.
……
"Beep beep beep".
Waking up to his phone alarm, Wang Xiao reluctantly opened his eyes and glanced at the time.
Six o'clock in the morning.
Ah, what a familiar time of day!
Taking a deep breath and letting his brain slowly boot up, Wang Xiao got up and looked at Wei Yan on the bed.
Seeing that the boy still showed no signs of waking up, Wang Xiao didn't bother to pay any more attention.
Anyway, they won't die; the worst outcome is that they might become a vegetable.
He's done everything he could as the boss; now it's up to Wei Yan to do it all himself.
Yawning, Wang Xiao washed up and went downstairs to the cafeteria.
I happened to see Qin Huai'an having a meal in the cafeteria.
Besides the exquisite breakfast prepared by Lu Ran, there was also a cup of "Night Abyss Dream" on his dining table.
Watching Qin Huai'an discussing matters with Secretary Huang during dinner, Wang Xiao couldn't help but mutter under his breath:
"There are really people who, even in the apocalypse, still maintain their workaholic lifestyle... It's unbelievable."
At least he worked so hard to take advantage of the system, but Qin Huai'an is just a complete freak.
No, I can't let him catch me, otherwise I'll probably be subjected to another round of probing.
Never mind, I'll come back here later.
To avoid running into Qin Huai'an, Wang Xiao turned and walked out of the cafeteria.
Unfortunately, just as he turned around, Qin Huai'an's voice came from behind him.
Perhaps Wang Xiao's complaints were too loud, because Qin Huai'an suddenly stopped the discussion, looked in Wang Xiao's direction, and said, "Boss Wang, since you're here so early, why don't we eat together?"
Having been caught by Qin Huai'an, and knowing he couldn't escape, Wang Xiao said helplessly, "Since President Qin has spoken, then I'll respectfully obey."
And indeed, things turned out exactly as Wang Xiao had predicted.
Every word Qin Huai'an uttered forced Wang Xiao to be extremely cautious.
It took a full hour to finish breakfast.
This time, Wang Xiao set a standard for himself in his heart.
That means I will never eat alone with Qin Huai'an again!
This is so damn painful!
In the morning, Wang Xiao reviewed the reports submitted by everyone. Since Wei Yan was still unconscious, Wang Xiao had to handle his affairs personally.
Although he is used to such a high-intensity job, he still has to think carefully when he encounters a tricky problem.
Wang Xiao felt a sense of relief upon seeing the overall situation presented by the hotel.
At least, Wei Yan's growth has certainly not disappointed him.
At noon, just as Wang Xiao was about to get up and go to the weapons research and development room on the sixth floor to check on the modification of his horizontal sword, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside.
Then there was a knock on Wang Xiao's door.
Wang Xiao said, "Go in."
Xue Wu pushed open the door and entered nervously, saying, "Boss, news from the outpost is that Yue Man and the others have returned."
Upon hearing that Yue Man had returned, Wang Xiao immediately abandoned his plan to go to the sixth floor and asked, "Where is he?"
Xue Wu replied, "We'll arrive at the hotel shortly."
Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Understood, let's go to the first floor and wait for them."
"Yes."
Upon arriving on the first floor, Qin Huai'an and the others, having received the news, rushed over one after another.
Upon seeing Wang Xiao, everyone greeted him, "Boss Wang!"
Wang Xiao nodded and responded to each one.
A short while later, a white sports car drove towards the hotel.
Wang Xiao recognized Yue Man's car at a glance.
After all, the last zombie horde incident had wrecked this guy's car, and I promised to return him a new one, so I had Wei Yan send a commission to have someone find one for him.
Although it's not as good as Yue Man's original one, it's not far off.
Just when everyone thought Yue Man was driving, Wan Menghuai got out of the driver's seat.
Not seeing Yue Man, Qin Huai'an asked in confusion, "Didn't you send out two people? How come only one person came back?"
Wang Xiao glanced at the passenger seat. Without even guessing, he knew that this guy's old habit had kicked in again.
Wang Xiao said, "Everyone, please wait for me in the conference room on the sixth floor."
Seeing that Wang Xiao had spoken, everyone had no choice but to comply.
After everyone had left, Wang Xiao walked to the passenger side, tapped lightly on the window, and said, "Alright, you've gotten rid of everyone, it's time for you to get out of the car."
Only then did the car window slowly roll down.
Wang Xiao also saw through the guy's situation.
Yue Man's Swift Shadow combat suit was now covered in blood, and he was leaning back in his chair with a terrible complexion.
Wang Xiao frowned and asked, "What happened? How did you get yourself into such a sorry state? Are you alright?"
Yue Man said with a complicated expression, "I'm not injured, but Boss Wang, we probably don't have much time left. The situation in that area is much worse than the information you gave me."
Wang Xiao looked at Wan Menghuai, who nodded and said, "The evolution speed of these insects is much faster than you estimated..."
After hearing their answers, Wang Xiao had a basic estimate in mind.
Without wasting any time, Wang Xiao said, "You two come to my room. I need to know everything you know."
