"Sect Master Chu...the invitation remains open."
The Zombie King's distorted voice came through Ye Xuan's communication device, followed by Sparrow's painful scream.
Chu Miao slipped from Ye Xuan's arms and straightened her clothes. "We are going to the laboratory."
Ye Xuan looked at the bathing room and released a quiet sigh. "One day, we will enter that room without someone trying to destroy the city."
"At this rate, we might have to schedule it."
"I thought we already had."
"Then the Zombie King has terrible timing."
"He has many terrible qualities. Interrupting my time with my wife has moved close to the top of the list."
Despite her worry, Chu Miao smiled before folding the space around them.
They appeared inside the underground laboratory a moment later.
The researchers had retreated behind the strongest protective barrier. Professor Song stood near the control panel, while Professor Tang remained several steps closer to Sparrow than anyone else.
