Chapter 457: Take Down the Peerless Beauty!

~5 min read 904 words

After multiple consultations, it was finally decided to send the materials back first, and Ye Su would find an opportunity to withdraw from the Beautiful Country.

These few days they still went to work as usual, but Ye Su felt that Linda's mental state was not good, so he walked to her side with some worry, "Linda, what's wrong with you? Didn't you rest well these past few days?"

Linda appeared very weak, "I don't know, it was fine the day before we came back, but after waking up that last night, my head hurt particularly badly, and it took a long time to recover; it's still very uncomfortable now."

She sighed deeply and forcibly explained to herself, "Maybe it's long-term high-intensity work, and my body can't take it."

Ye Su didn't expose her and started to talk around the bush, "If I were different from what you imagined, would you still do experiments with me?"

Linda was confused and didn't quite understand what he meant.

Then Ye Su continued to explain, "How do you distinguish between good and evil in this world? Are people in the Beautiful Country necessarily good? Are people in the Dragon Country necessarily bad?"

Regarding this question, Linda shook her head very seriously.

"In my eyes, everyone is unique, regardless of status or wealth, but it's a pity that this disaster has caused the people to be displaced."

Ye Su then pulled out a more fatal question, "Then if you had to make a choice, in this chaotic world, would you choose justice or your country?"

Linda gave a bitter smile, "Your question is a bit strange; can't the country be on the side of justice?"

Her voice grew lower and lower, until the last word was spoken, the sound was so small it was almost inaudible.

Ye Su understood instantly; it turned out Linda had known all along.

He didn't answer, just waited silently on the side; he believed Linda should give him a perfect answer.

There were only the two of them in the laboratory, with only the sound of water dripping from the penetrometer next to them, and the whole room fell into silence.

After a long time, so long that Ye Su felt his legs were going to go numb, Linda began to look up and look into his eyes seriously.

"I would choose justice."

She didn't make any explanation, just her inner thoughts.

Ye Su told the story of what the Beautiful Country had done from the beginning, and Linda couldn't believe it at all, retreating again and again.

"No, you are a liar, you are a spy sent by the Dragon Country, don't try to sow discord."

Ye Su was indifferent and stated a very cruel fact.

"If they didn't have a guilty conscience, why would they erase your memory? Can you still remember how you configured the vaccine now?"

Linda entered into painful memories; it seemed... she really didn't remember...

How could this be?

She could be sure that her memory was completely fine; as long as she had seen something, she would never forget it, let alone an experiment she had done with her own hands...

Linda looked at Ye Su in a daze and asked softly in disbelief, "Is what you said all true?"

Ye Su didn't answer; he believed Linda already had the answer in her heart.

Linda slumped to the ground, a tear running down the corner of her exquisite face, looking pitiful.

Ye Su sat beside her, reached out to pat her shoulder, and comforted her silently.

After a long time, Ye Su formally issued an invitation.

【Captain Ye Su has sent you a team-up invitation!】

Linda looked at this blankly, not understanding what it meant.

Ye Su explained, "If you trust me and are willing to be by my side, accompanying me to save the zombies of this world, then you can choose to agree..."

This sentence had a second half; although Ye Su didn't say it, Linda knew it in her heart.

If she didn't agree, she would have to continue staying in the Beautiful Country, helping them harm the people of other countries.

Her head, which was already a bit uncomfortable, became increasingly painful after such a large amount of thinking.

Linda rubbed her temples, choosing between morality and ethics.

In a sense, if she teamed up, would it count as treason?

Time passed second by second; Ye Su didn't force her, just accompanied her silently on the side.

From daytime until the sun gradually set, they remained motionless in this place, as if they were statues, not even going to eat at mealtime.

Just as night was about to fall, Linda chose to confirm.

【Ding, the other party has agreed to your team-up invitation!】

【Name: Linda!】

【Age: 23 years old!】

【Talent: Develop Dangerous Chemical Weapons!】

【Level: 1!】

【If removed from the team by the captain, the ability will disappear; if the captain dies, you will die too!】

Ye Su stood up from the ground and showed Linda a big smile.

"Congratulations on joining my team; from now on, you are one of my people."

Linda gave a bitter smile; her expression didn't look very happy, just explained indifferently, "The upbringing concept from childhood tells me that perhaps our country shouldn't continue to make mistakes like this..."

No matter what the world thinks later, she feels her decision was not wrong! ### CHAPTER 459
