The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Sixty)

What's the situation now?

Song Ning was too far away to hear clearly, but he could see that Captain Man's actions and reactions were full of vigilance.

As for Lance, he didn't make any big moves. From his perspective, Lance seemed to have simply told Captain Barbarian very calmly.

Why did Captain Man react so strongly?

After hesitating for a while, Song Ning decided to continue to observe.

He didn't want to reveal that he knew Lance, otherwise he was afraid that people would find out later that Lance was Big Cat, which would undoubtedly put Big Cat in danger.

But things clearly didn't go as planned. The barbarian captain's defensive actions became increasingly obvious, and Song Ning even noticed that the people from the base secretly picked up weapons and moved towards Lance, surrounding him.

This is not possible!

Song Ning couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly circled around the snow and ran all the way. When he arrived, the people from the base had just surrounded Lance, and the barbarian captain was also holding his weapon, looking at Lance with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming here? If you don't tell us, we'll have to ask you to stay and come with us."

"Captain Barbarian!"

Without thinking, Song Ning rushed over and threw herself into Lance's arms.

Lance caught him skillfully and then pulled him into his arms.

This smooth combo left not only Captain Man speechless, but everyone else present was also completely dumbfounded.

A slight blush rose to Song Ning's face, and she hurriedly began to explain, disregarding everything else.

"This, this is Lance. We came together to tell Captain Man about the fragment. He walked too fast and I couldn't keep up."

Captain Man was clearly stunned for a moment before he reacted. He looked at Song Ning and then at Lance, who was naturally holding the person in his arms.

She stared at it for a full two seconds before it dawned on her.

"Oh~ this is your boyfriend? Could it be that your 'Leopard King' is his pet? Why didn't he come with us before? It would have been nice of us to recognize him. Now we've made a fool of ourselves."

She spoke casually, but Song Ning's heart started racing. He pretended to be shy and nudged Lance, but of course, he didn't push him away.

Then Song Ning said embarrassedly, "We had a fight before, and I feel more at ease having someone look after the house, so I didn't let him come over."

Lance remained unmoved even when pushed by him. He always felt that humans would freeze because they were dressed too thinly and had no fur to keep warm.

Captain Man, seeing their subtle actions, finally felt relieved.

She put away her dagger with a hint of helplessness. "It's the apocalypse now. If the young couple has any disagreements, they should just let it go. It's better to live a good life together. But what did you say you came here to tell me?"

Only now did she notice the small fragment from before.

"Did I just hear something about zombie rats?"

Song Ning then realized that Lance had not been able to communicate with Captain Man at all. He felt a little helpless but also relieved.

Thankfully he came along, otherwise it would have been bad if a conflict had broken out between the two sides.

With Song Ning's appearance, Captain Man's trust level was obviously much higher, but when she heard that the small fragments found in the zombie rat's brain could be used as energy, her mind still went blank for a moment.

Five seconds passed before she suddenly stood up and stared intently at the two of them.

"You two know what you're saying, right?"

Song Ning felt a little uncomfortable being held by Lance, but he was worried that Captain Man would notice something, so he didn't move. He could only try to ignore his current posture and the definition that Captain Man had given to their relationship.

“If we weren’t certain about such important information as Captain Man, we wouldn’t have come to him. Lying like this would do us no good.”

Captain Man understood. "So you mean it's true?"

She abruptly ripped off her mask, took a deep breath, and exhaled white smoke. "Quick, go and call Dr. Liao over, as fast as you can!"

Dr. Liao, who was being cared for like a treasure at the base, was suddenly brought over by someone who braved the wind and snow. When they arrived, Captain Man had already rearranged the people underground based on Song Ning's information.

The fact that there are fragments in the zombie rat's brain that can be used as an energy source has not been fully disclosed yet. Captain Man's idea is simple: their current cooperation with the group below is not about the zombie rat. After completing this part of the cooperation, and after the base takes the time to verify it, it would be more appropriate to release this information to the public.

"Furthermore, you mentioned that this power supply requires a suitable converter. Since we haven't developed one yet, releasing this information would actually hinder the overall research and development."

Captain Man himself had experienced the apocalypse for many years and held a high position in the base. He knew that if some people really knew this news, they might take risks.

"The end times are still too harsh. No one can predict what some people will do for supplies, and if these things fall into the hands of malicious people, they could cause a disaster."

Captain Man explained to Song Ning and the others in order to put their minds at ease.

She hadn't expected Song Ning and the others to selflessly tell the base this news, but she knew she couldn't let good people feel disheartened.

Of course, the purpose of saying all this was to make Song Ning and Lance feel that telling the base was not a mistake.

Song Ning understood these principles. He changed his posture and moved the slightly drafty side of his body closer to Lance. Although he was a little unaccustomed to being so intimate with Lance in front of others, the weather was just too cold. It was normal to feel cold and want to get closer to a heat source while standing in the wind and snow.

Just then, Dr. Liao came over, and after hearing the news, he consulted with Lance to verify some other information.

Upon learning that Lance was absolutely certain that someone could convert energy from this fragment into electricity, Dr. Liao couldn't help but look at the fragment in his hand in amazement.

"No wonder people say that life has its own origin; it's truly amazing. If we could create such a converter, we might be able to get through the most difficult phase of the apocalypse."

Captain Man couldn't hide his anticipation either, "Yes, although there's still a little bit of electricity in the base, I really miss the days when every household had electricity."

Song Ning also reminisced, "Who doesn't? At the very least, putting everything else aside, air conditioning is definitely one of the greatest inventions mankind has ever made."

The three of them were lost in a kind of fantasy and anticipation, which made Lance frown as he watched from the side.

air conditioner?

He certainly knew about this thing, but when he glanced at Song Ning, who was snuggling in his arms for warmth, he suddenly realized something.

If there were air conditioning, would his humans stop clinging to him like this?
