The Mad Scientist’s Domesticated Little Zombie 11

Chapter 11: It’s Time to Give You Your Bed Back!…

And so, the next day, everyone saw Lin Ling attending a meeting with snacks, slacking off behind Shi Changyuan.

His pockets were stuffed with all sorts of candies. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would unwrap one, pop it in his mouth, and crunch it to pieces with a “crack.”

During the tea break, an intern even saw Lin Ling reach into Shi Changyuan’s pocket and pull out a handful of treats.

“Can I try some too?”

The intern saw Lin Ling gnawing on beef jerky, and he was eating with such gusto that he couldn’t help but go over.

“Sure, sure.”

These snacks were shared with him by everyone else anyway. It’s better to share the joy.

“Let me tell you.”

The little zombie chatted in a low voice while chewing on the beef jerky.

“This beef jerky is super fragrant.”

Chew, chew, chew.

“The texture is incredibly chewy.”

Chew, chew, chew.

“And there are no preservatives added!”

Chew, chew, chew.

“Even zombies say it’s good.”

After this string of comments, the intern was completely dazed. None of the information registered except for the word “fragrant.” He immediately broke off a small piece to try.

Lin Ling looked at him with expectant eyes, hoping he would also offer a review and validate his taste.

But he waited for several minutes, and the intern still hadn’t managed to chew off that small piece of beef jerky.

The intern used all his strength, his face contorted with effort, and in the end, he could only cover the beef jerky with a face full of drool.

“Hey, you can’t bite through it?”

Seeing the other’s embarrassment, the little zombie immediately took out his other snacks and said enthusiastically, “Don’t worry, this one might be a bit hard. Try this cowhide candy!”

The cowhide candy was half the size of a palm and soft. It definitely wouldn’t be as hard to bite.

The intern, unaware of the dangers of the world and the bite force of a zombie, nodded and took the piece of cowhide candy.

Just one bite of this candy was enough to make any human question their existence.

The intern even suspected that one would need a bite force no less than that of an adult hyena to be worthy of enjoying these things.

“Why aren’t you eating it? Don’t you like it?”

The intern: …

Is it that I don’t like it?

The intern looked at Lin Ling with a lifeless expression, a bit helpless. “Maybe my teeth just aren’t good enough.”

Although he knew that humans couldn’t be compared to zombies, the little zombie was still a little disappointed that he couldn’t successfully recommend his favorite snacks.

Clearly, Shi Changyuan can bite through them.

The great Zombie Emperor scanned the crowd and secretly made a resolution. In the future, when he recruited subordinates, he would only recruit those with good teeth!

Zombies with bad teeth who can’t chew through anything don’t deserve to be zombies!

Shi Changyuan, sitting to the side, saw Lin Ling’s sudden drop in spirits. He reached out and ruffled the zombie’s head, then took out another piece of beef jerky and stuffed it into the young man’s hand. He smiled.

“Isn’t it better if others can’t eat it?”

“It’s all Lingling’s.”

The little zombie took a fierce bite of the jerky and said dejectedly, “That’s true.”

“Then you can go back to the meeting.”

After the nutritional supplement incident, Lin Ling had truly discovered that a certain human really couldn’t be left idle.

If he hadn’t helped Professor Duan analyze data all night, found the key data points, and needed to attend a review meeting together, the little zombie couldn’t imagine what other strange things he would come up with.

So when Miao Xue came to notify them of the meeting, Lin Ling decisively pushed Shi Changyuan out.

Anyway, as an assistant with no research capabilities, all he needed to do was keep him company.

[Little Lin Ling, wait for me after the meeting. I have something to tell you, as per Old Duan’s instructions.]

Miao Xue, who also had no research capabilities as a secret guard, tore off a sheet from the meeting notes and secretly passed a note to Lin Ling.

[Okay ^^]

The note that was passed back even had a cute little emoji on it.

Miao Xue, whose heart was instantly captured: So cute!

Miao Xue tried to draw a little emoji for Lin Ling too, but after the note was passed out, it never came back.

She looked in Lin Ling’s direction and saw that he was also unaware of what had happened.

Miao Xue waited patiently for a few more minutes. When the note finally returned to her, she found that a hole had been torn in the middle of the sheet, and the little emoji Lin Ling had drawn was gone!!!

She observed everyone in the room. They were all diligently taking notes, and no one looked suspicious, except for a certain someone with the surname Shi, sitting next to Lin Ling with his legs crossed.

Miao Xue: …

I can’t stand it! How did this kid succeed?!

Miao Xue gave herself a pep talk and barely managed to calm down by the time the meeting ended.

“Little Lin Ling.”

She decided to get down to business first.

“I didn’t expect Little Lin Ling to know Old Duan.” Miao Xue first greeted him, then explained something.

“The night Professor Shi came to help, after you two left, I mentioned to Old Duan that I never thought I’d see the day Professor Shi would be part of a pair.”

“I didn’t expect that when Old Duan heard the name ‘Lin Ling,’ he immediately asked me if it was a pretty boy who looked a bit dazed.”

The little zombie blinked, finding it hard to believe that the little old man’s description of him was “dazed.”

“I said yes, and Old Duan wanted to see you right away. But it was too late that day, and I saw that both Little Lin Ling and Professor Shi were tired, so I stopped him.”

Hearing this, Lin Ling finally understood why Professor Duan had suddenly sought him out.

But he still had a question. “Why did you mention me?”

Faced with this question, Miao Xue was very matter-of-fact.

“People always talk about the people they like in front of others. Little Lin Ling is so cute, you’re a hot topic in the research institute. It’s not just me.”

“Old Duan would have found out sooner or later.”

Miao Xue shrugged and continued, “Today, Old Duan even gave me an order to ask Little Lin Ling if he needs any help.”

“Help?”

Lin Ling thought for a moment and felt that he didn’t seem to need any help at the moment. Just as he was about to decline Old Duan’s kind offer, he heard Miao Xue say directly, “For example, changing your place of residence.”

Changing my place of residence?

The moment these words were spoken, not only was Lin Ling’s attention captured, but even Shi Changyuan, who had been silent on the side, looked over.

“Old Duan means that he has no children in the research institute and has a family member slot available. He can apply for a family apartment and is asking if Little Lin Ling needs it.”

Hearing this, the little zombie’s interest was piqued.

“What kind of apartment?”

“A single apartment similar to Professor Shi’s. If Lin Ling thinks it’s too small, or wants to leave the research institute and do something else in the main city district, he can help Lin Ling apply for that too.”

This move from Old Duan, pulling the rug out from under him, made Shi Changyuan’s face darken completely.

“No, no, the main city district is out of the question.”

The little zombie quickly waved his hands, rejecting the latter option.

There were too many people in the main city district, and most of them were ability user squads who frequently ventured into zombie nests. If he was recognized as soon as he stepped out, he would be done for.

In comparison, the research institute, with its scholars who had little experience with zombies, was safer.

“And I think a single apartment is more than enough!”

With that, Lin Ling looked at Shi Changyuan.

“I’ve been occupying your bed for so long. It’s time to give it back to you!”
