Mu Tang and Lu Yan returned to their residence, and Ren Yu and Lin Wanwan gave them extra training. Niba was still excited and rushed over to lick Mu Tang's face.

Mu Tang subconsciously moved away from Lu Yan. She was still not used to Niba's excessive enthusiasm.

Lu Yan calmly blocked Niba's passionate offensive and sighed helplessly.

Just when he was about to persuade Niba to go back to sleep, a white and tender hand suddenly appeared behind him.

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, watching Mu Tang reach out and touch Niba's big nose, a smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered:

"Good evening... Mud."

"Woof-" Niba yelled excitedly and flicked his tail.

Lu Yan withdrew his gaze:

"You go to the room first, I'll fetch water for you to wash up, and go to bed early."

Mu Tang nodded.

When they came to their room, they still had the original furnishings, full of life.

"Mu Tang's" favorite little skirt hangs next to Lu Yan's straight military uniform. Mu Tang's favorite hairpins and lipstick are placed on the table, and Lu Yan's pen is inserted into the pen holder.

The breaths of the two have long been intertwined and inseparable.

Mu Tang suddenly remembered the hard paper he found in his pocket. When he took it out and saw the words on it, he froze in place.

...Marriage certificate? !

Mu Tang felt a little ridiculous at first. When he woke up from sleep, he became a married woman? !

No, that’s not right, it’s my other self who is married to someone else!

But in the next second, her eyes were completely attracted by the photo on the marriage certificate.

Mu Tang gently touched the photo with her fingertips. For a moment, she could see the bright smile on the corner of "his" mouth.

It turns out... a person like her, with such a face, can also have such a happy smile.

There are no rules and regulations that bind oneself, no subconscious reserve, only happiness that comes from the heart.

And the look in Lu Yan's eyes full of hers beside her.

If he classified himself as a bystander, Mu Tang had to admit that the two people in the photo really matched each other.

When Lu Yan came in carrying the basin, he saw Mu Tang holding the marriage certificate and was fascinated.

He stood there, silent for a moment, and whispered:

"We got married and we are husband and wife from now on."

Mu Tang came back to her senses, turned to look at him, her eyes hesitated, and she opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say.

Lu Yan actually didn't know what he should say.

Logically speaking, Mu Tang is the real owner of this body now, but he clearly had some suspicions about this matter, but chose to marry Mu Tang.

Logically speaking, he should say "I'm sorry."

But once he was embarrassed to say it, it would be equivalent to admitting that Mu Tang, his wife, was just an illusion that should not exist.

He couldn't say it anyway.

Mu Tang is the one he loves and his only wife.

Seeing Lu Yan's heavy gaze, Mu Tang suddenly realized what the man was thinking. He smiled helplessly and handed the marriage certificate back to Lu Yan:

"You can keep it for her first."

Lu Yan put the basin aside and took the marriage certificate.

Mu Tang raised his hand to smooth the hair on his forehead, scanned the room again, and suddenly asked:

"Let me ask you, if sacrificing a large number of people who pose a threat can reopen a safer living space for mankind, what would you choose?"

Lu Yan frowned:

“Are the people who pose a threat those who carry the dormant virus in their bodies?”

Mu Tang shook his head:

"No, more than that."

Mu Tang pulled out the chair next to the desk and sat on it, his eyes becoming deep and full of meaning:

“Have you heard about the train problem?”

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows:

"There are five people and one person tied to two tracks respectively. If you pull the rocker, the train will change track and kill one person. If you let nature take its course, the train will hit five people. Should you choose to sacrifice the few and save the many? Yeah?"

"Yes." Mu Tang nodded:

"But, I want to change the rules for this question now."

Speaking of this, Mu Tang's brows became cold and cold, and his voice became cold:

"One person and five people switch places. If nature takes its course, one person will die. If the rocker is pulled, the train will change course and kill the five people next to it."

Such a question is simply not valid. Lu Yan was a little surprised:

"You mean to sacrifice five people to save one person?"

Mu Tang shook his head:

"No, the question is not over yet. If the train changes its route and kills five people, one person will survive. If the train does not change its route, then the probability of killing all six people increases to 99%."

Mu Tang looked at Lu Yan and said in a serious tone:

"If it were you, would you choose to kill five people and save one person, or let it develop and make all six people suffer an almost certain death?"

For such an incredible question, Lu Yan didn't believe that Mu Tang just raised it on a whim. She must be hinting at something.

For example - the base's current predicament.

However, if those five people refer to the people carrying the sleeping virus in the base, then what does the 99% fatality rate refer to?

Lu Yan lowered his head and thought seriously, but Mu Tang interrupted his thoughts:

"Okay, I just thought of this problem suddenly, don't think about it too much."

In fact, it is meaningless to ask Lu Yan this question. The person who really wants to answer this question is herself.

Mu Tang stood up pretending to be relaxed:

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

As she spoke, she glanced around deliberately, with a rare hint of relaxation in her tone:

"But you are a married man. It's not good for you to sleep in the same room with me. So please give me your room and you can find another place to rest."

Lu Yan glanced at her. Mu Tang's eyes were raised when she spoke now, and her expression was almost the same as her other one.

"Wait a minute." Lu Yan said, "I have one last question."

Mu Tang looked at him with questioning eyes.

Lu Yan then asked:

"Do you know Xin Min?"
