"You're unbelievable..."
Zhang Chen was speechless.
If he were an emperor, or a true god, and someone was willing to dedicate themselves to him, he wouldn't mind indulging once if he felt inclined. After all, after such a long time in the apocalypse, he had finally found a place to establish himself in this harsh environment. Having the means to survive was a prerequisite for enjoying relaxation.
But... Katerina's actions had turned what should have been an enjoyable experience into work. Zhang Chen suddenly felt that the beautiful women around him were no longer appealing, as if he were a stud horse whose daily task was to keep going and going. Anyone would be fed up.
"Katerina, I think this matter needs to be planned for the long term," Zhang Chen said with a flattering smile. "There must be other ways!"
Upon hearing his words, the girls around them couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. Some of them were saintesses, filled with admiration and love for Zhang Chen. Others had only recently joined the camp, hoping to hitch a ride with Zhang Chen. Although their intentions differed, their goals were the same.
"It's alright. If there are other plans, they can proceed normally, but having more offspring is definitely not wrong!" Katerina said, her hand slowly resting on Zhang Chen's chest and gently caressing it. "These girls have been selected based on their aptitude, intelligence, looks, and figure; it's not just about being pretty. This is to ensure the excellent inheritance of the genes of the next generation. I will definitely oversee this carefully, you can rest assured!"
"Look who it is?!" Suddenly, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Xu Ruina appeared at the entrance with Tang Houde and Mo Pai.
Seeing the scene, both parties were stunned. Xu Ruina had taken Tang Houde and others to visit her laboratory first, where they had discussed and communicated until nightfall. At this moment, Xu Ruina, reminded by Shirley, realized she hadn't reported Tang Houde's arrival to Zhang Chen. Thus, she brought them over, intending to surprise Zhang Chen. After all, the Tang Houde and Mo Pai from the parallel world had merely not experienced the apocalypse, but their intelligence, knowledge, and abilities were undoubtedly outstanding. With the two of them around, the reincarnators would surely possess a technological level not inferior to the natives. Combined with their own formidable combat power, ending the apocalypse would be within reach. This was why Xu Ruina had excitedly rushed over with Shirley, Tang Houde, and Mo Pai. She never expected to see a room full of beauties upon opening the conference room door.
Tang Houde's face instantly turned red as he pushed up his glasses. Mo Pai, with a knowing smirk, whispered, "As expected of young people, their bodies are so good!"
Xu Ruina looked puzzled and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
Before Katerina could reply, Zhang Chen quickly stepped forward and interjected, "You've come at the perfect time. I was just about to look for you to discuss... the issue of how reincarnators should reproduce!"
Xu Ruina nodded and said, "That's right, human reproduction is indeed a major problem..." After speaking, she explained the current main predicament of humanity to Tang Houde and Mo Pai. Katerina seized the opportunity to quickly have the girls leave through another door of the conference room.
A moment later, Mo Pai pondered and said, "Actually, human reproduction has always been a difficult subject. Although we can observe and understand its principles, with our current technology, we cannot control it! Therefore, many things are done by utilizing countless test subjects, conducting innumerable experiments, then finding the correct experimental methods and test subjects, and then observing them again to find the differences between them and other failures. Then, by eliminating these differences one by one, we can find solutions to the problem."
Tang Houde nodded and said, "In short, it's the method of elimination. Although it sounds rudimentary, it is indeed the most effective! Especially when studying gene structures that we don't understand at all, this is the most effective method."
Seeing that Tang Houde and Mo Pai had finished their explanation and Zhang Chen was still looking bewildered, Xu Ruina explained helplessly, "Forget it, I'll say it. To solve this problem, we need to study how you produce offspring! Then, we need to study those who don't produce offspring, comparing the two. This way, it will be easier to find the key to the problem and solve it. So... I might need a few drops of Zhang Mo's blood for testing, and also some of your yogurt."
"If necessary, I might need you and Katerina to combine again." Xu Ruina said, her gaze slowly sweeping over Zhang Chen without concealment. "Of course, it can be out of love, or it can be for the great mission of solving the problem of human reproduction. Understand it in whatever way makes you more comfortable!"
Zhang Chen looked at Katerina, who shrugged and put on a nonchalant expression, saying, "I have no problem."
"Alright, if that's the case, then it's settled!" Xu Ruina said excitedly. "If Zhang Mo's blood can solve the problem, perhaps you won't have to go through so much trouble!"
Soon, Katerina accompanied Xu Ruina and obtained a few drops of blood from Zhang Mo's finger. Xu Ruina left as if she had found a treasure.
"I need to go hold Mo Mo while he sleeps. Although he was very brave just now and didn't cry, I know he must need me by his side now!" Katerina said to Zhang Chen, with a hint of reluctance in her voice.
"Yes, I understand. Go ahead. You've worked hard taking care of Zhang Mo in the apocalypse!" Zhang Chen said, embracing Katerina's soft waist and gently kissing her cheek.
"This is the first time you've kissed me proactively!" Katerina said, leaning her entire body against Zhang Chen with a smile while he held her waist.
"I was muddled about the future before, barely able to protect myself, so I truly didn't pay enough attention to you all. Now that the strategy for dealing with the apocalypse is basically set, we just need to proceed step by step. Although Tang Houde has fled, he probably won't amount to much, and Xu Lina has completely disappeared. Perhaps... our era of peace is about to arrive."
"I owe you all a lot, and I will make up for it with plenty of time in the future," Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, I believe you, but don't talk about the future, cherish the present!" Katerina said, then proactively offered her kiss, their lips entwined for a long time before separating.
Watching Katerina skip away, as happy as a child, Zhang Chen couldn't help but smile.
