Chapter 40 The Scientist’s New Identity - the Maid of the End Times.
"Liu... Dr. Liu, just agree to Su Rui's request... He is just a ghost. He probably can't do anything to you... It's better than everyone dying together, right?"
The technician next to him pleaded with Dr. Liu with a trembling voice.
Dr. Liu had long been frightened out of his wits by Su Rui's words.
She shook her head and retorted: "Who knows what ghosts can do? I am still innocent and I must not take advantage of him!"
Professor Liu observed Su Rui calmly and seemed to see some clues.
He said to Su Rui in a deep voice: "Suri, we are scientists after all. You want to deceive us with such nonsense? Do you really think we will be easily fooled? If you are really a ghost, theoretically you should not have any weight. Yes. But we saw that the cushion under your feet was dented, which is obviously a sign of weight. "
Su Rui was stunned by Professor Liu's words, and then smiled awkwardly: "Uh? Really? Haha, scientists are indeed scientists..."
Dr. Liu came back to his senses, immediately pouted, and said dissatisfied: "You...you dare to lie to me?"
Suri shrugged, looking innocent: "You said it yourself, I am a ghost."
Professor Liu did not relax his vigilance. He stared at Su Rui closely and asked again: "Surui, can you explain how you killed these eaters?"
Su Rui put away his joking expression and said seriously: "Go down and see for yourselves. Don't you know everything?"
"Let me go take a look!" Another technician stepped forward immediately and decided to go down and check it out in person.
Professor Liu warned: "Be careful there is an ambush below." He still believed that Su Rui did not do this alone.
Su Rui shook his head and said helplessly: "Ambush? Your imagination is really rich!"
Dr. Liu was still doubtful. She snorted coldly: "Humph! People like you don't tell the truth! Who knows if you are acting for us?"
Soon, the technician came back.
His face was full of shock, and he looked at Suri as if he was seeing a demon.
Dr. Liu asked eagerly: "What's wrong? What did you see? Is there anyone else? Tell me quickly?"
The technician swallowed, with a trace of unconcealable trembling in his voice, and he said with lingering fear: "It's too scary! All the eaters seemed to be neatly cut crosswise by countless sharp knives at the same time, and scattered all over the ground, as if they were scattered. It’s just like playing cards, it’s terrible!”
"What...what..."
Professor Liu and Dr. Liu had extremely shocked expressions on their faces at the same time, staring at Su Rui almost in disbelief.
Eaters!
The number one natural enemy of mankind’s doomsday!
Humanity's ultimate nightmare!
Because its strength and speed are far beyond ordinary people, countless countries feel helpless.
Unless their heads are smashed, they will keep attacking and are almost impossible to kill at once.
However, such a terrifying nightmare was solved so easily by Suri?
Are you going to solve so much at once?
Professor Liu and Dr. Liu looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other's eyes.
Is this Suri really still a human?
Where does his power come from?
Even if he is an evolver, he has probably evolved to the point of transcending the species, right?
Professor Liu asked with a trembling voice: "Is there really no one else down there? Are Director Luo and his people really not down there?"
The technician replied tremblingly: "No... I didn't see... except for the chopped up eaters, there are indeed no other human footprints down there."
"Could it be that you are blind?"
"Professor Liu?"
Dr. Liu on the side looked at Su Rui in disbelief.
"Only you? How could you do this? If you had this ability, how could you be subdued by Director Luo and the others?"
She couldn't imagine what was inside this body? The method can be so cruel and efficient to get rid of these eaters.
Professor Liu could not calm down and said: "Suri, is this caused by your superpower? As far as I know, there is no superpower in the military's public superpower catalog that can achieve this level. Can you explain what is going on?"
Facing the two people's questioning, Suri smiled helplessly.
"Professor Liu, I don't have such a powerful power. I can only do this because of this thing."
As he spoke, he took out a magic crystal thread from his pocket and explained in detail its toughness and how he had just used this thing to kill the eater.
After listening to Su Rui's explanation, Professor Liu's face was full of admiration and enthusiasm.
He asked excitedly: "Suri, you are so smart to think of using this thing to deal with eaters! I thought you had a lot of helpers. This is the first time I have seen you since the end of the world. , who killed so many eaters with his bare hands!"
Su Rui nodded slightly and glanced at Dr. Liu, but Dr. Liu cleverly avoided it.
Professor Liu continued: "I can't believe that someone can develop such a thing! Su Rui, how many more of these magic crystal threads do you have? Where did you get it? Is there any experimental data? If it is handed over to the country, I think the military will get a powerful weapon against the eaters."
Su Rui frowned slightly: "Dedicate it to the country? Let's talk about it later. Now, what matters most is that we do business first."
"Business? Oh, yes, we have to go to the military shelter in District 3 first." Professor Liu suddenly realized.
Su Rui shook his head: "No, no, no, that's not the business I'm talking about."
Professor Liu and Dr. Liu looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Ah? What is that?"
Su Rui turned his eyes to Dr. Liu, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Dr. Liu, you should still remember our previous bet, right?"
"Bet? What bet?" Dr. Liu blinked and pretended to be ignorant.
Professor Liu looked helpless. He didn't expect that at such a tense moment, Su Rui was still thinking about the previous things.
Another technician was also very anxious, but after seeing the strong strength shown by Su Rui, he didn't dare to say much.
Su Rui chuckled and said, "What? Want to go back on your word? Don't forget, we are not really out of danger yet. You should know better than me how far this place is from the shelter. Without my car, if you walk alone, you will probably be surrounded by eaters soon."
Dr. Liu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "What? Want to threaten me with saving me? I tell you, forget it! I didn't ask you to save me!"
Su Rui shrugged and said lightly, "That's great, I won't care about your business anymore." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Professor Liu quickly grabbed Su Rui and said anxiously, "Su Rui, wait! I have a question for you, why did you come to save us? There is no reason, I really can't figure it out."
Su Rui said lightly, "There is no special reason, I was just entrusted by someone."
Professor Liu asked, "Entrusted by someone? Is it someone from the military?"
Su Rui did not confirm or deny it. After all, he couldn't say that he was entrusted by the system, right?
Professor Liu thought he had guessed right, so he continued, "Brother Su, since the military sent you here, you should do your best. I'll take charge of Liu Feifei's affairs. From now on, she'll be your maid."
Dr. Liu, or Liu Feifei, is a serious scientist after all, and she never thought that she would become someone's maid one day.
So when she heard what Professor Liu said, her face immediately blushed: "Liu... Professor Liu, what are you talking about?"
Professor Liu continued, "Alas... Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Those who can have such strength must be from the military. In this case, I won't hide it from you. Su Rui, Liu Feifei is the real Professor Liu, and I'm just an associate professor. We exchanged identities just to cover up our tracks."
"Oh? Really?" This time it was finally Su Rui's turn to be surprised.
He thought to himself, so he had always thought that the side quest was to protect the old man Professor Liu, but who would have thought that he actually had to protect the beautiful Liu Feifei.
If I hadn't said it, I would have made a big mistake!
Now, I got both money and beauty! Kill two birds with one stone!
Not only did I get a maid for free, but I can also complete the side quest legitimately!
Such an unexpected gain made Su Rui secretly happy.
Professor Liu answered Su Rui's question seriously: "Su Rui, Liu Feifei is our core researcher of XM2 seeds, and her safety is of vital importance. So, I hope that when necessary, you can do your best to protect her, even if we need to make sacrifices."
Su Rui nodded and agreed: "No problem, we will all be a family in the future, and I will naturally do my best to protect her."
Then, he turned to Liu Feifei and said with a joking smile: "Liu Feifei, do you have anything else to say now? Hurry up and call me master, so that we can set off as soon as possible."
Speaking of departure, Professor Liu immediately raised an urgent question: "Su Rui, do you have enough gasoline in this car? From here to the third block, there are at least 40 kilometers away. I remember there is no gas station nearby. It seems that I can only walk a distance, but I don’t know how many dangers I will encounter."
Su Rui did not directly answer Professor Liu’s question about gasoline, but continued to stare at Liu Feifei, showing a posture that he would not stop until he called her "master".
Seeing this, Professor Liu immediately frowned and gently pushed Liu Feifei.
"Fei Fei, you have also seen Su Rui's ability. You won't suffer any loss if you follow him. Besides, haven't you always wanted to change your way of life and find a boyfriend? Su Rui is also very handsome, isn't he?" Professor Liu persuaded.
Liu Feifei showed hesitation on her face, and stammered: "But... I... I am a scientist after all... But a maid... I..."
Professor Liu continued to persuade: "I don't ask you to do anything excessive, just call me master, and being a maid in the end times is not that difficult, right?"
Su Rui nodded silently. This old man knows everything.
Liu Feifei hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, and whispered reluctantly: "Okay... Master."
The system prompt sounded immediately.
Su Rui was happy in his heart. This time, he finally got a reliable unlimited resource.
He smiled with satisfaction, then turned to Professor Liu and said mysteriously: "Old Liu, do you believe that I can find enough gasoline nearby for us to reach the third block smoothly?"
Professor Liu and Liu Feifei were surprised when they heard this. In this apocalypse, gasoline is a scarce resource. Su Rui actually said that there is a way to find it?
Impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
