Oliver still has many questions, but he doesn't have time to keep asking Isabella.Because his loud shouts alert the zombies lying on the ridge in the distance. Several zombies dressed in farmers' clothes sway to their feet and walk along the ridge towards the position where Oliver is. After being infected by the XR virus, the physical strength of the zombies reaches three times that of ordinary people. Their only weakness is their slow movement speed.

Oliver says to Isabella in the air, "If I need to see you, do I also call you with my mind?" Isabella replies, "Yes. There are two forms in which I can appear. One is the current visible form, and the other is to communicate with you directly through your consciousness."

Oliver understands Isabella's words. Without hesitation, as the zombies are only five or six meters away from him, he hurriedly uses his mind to activate the teleportation function of the watch. Just as several zombies are about to pounce on him, Oliver's body gradually disappears from the spot.

During the few seconds of teleportation, Oliver can't see anything. Suddenly, he can see again. Oliver finds himself lying on the bed in his bachelor apartment. Looking at everything in the extremely familiar room, Oliver pinches his thigh hard again. A sharp pain shoots through him, making Oliver can't help but let out a cry of pain. The watch on his wrist makes his skin feel cold, and he curses, "Fuck! This isn't a dream!"

After shouting, Oliver lies on the bed, smelling the sweaty smell of the quilt, feeling extremely unreal. The time on the watch has been converted to the time of this world. The constantly flashing numbers remind Oliver that he have only the three - hour safe time.

Oliver gets up from the bed and pushes open the doors and windows of the room. The dazzling sunlight shines in. Outside the window is the dormitory yard, where retired employees are sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree chatting. It's working time now. He has skipped work without asking for leave today, and his superior will probably scold him severely. But he doesn't care. Judging from the current situation, it's impossible for him to stay in the National Bureau of Statistics any longer.

Oliver feels a bit hungry, but he doesn't want to waste the precious three hours on cooking. He takes his wallet from the cabinet and rushes out of the apartment in a hurry. His salary isn't high. However, Oliver is a thrifty person. After working for two years, he has saved twenty to thirty thousand dollar. If he works for a few more years, his life will get better.

But how can Oliver care about his future life now? He doesn't know if he can survive the siege of the zombies when he transfer back after three hours. So, he decides to have a big meal that he's been reluctant to eat before.

Not far from the dormitory, there's a two - Michelin - star restaurant. Oliver has only been there once at a gathering organized by his superiors. Of course, the consumption of over ten thousand dollar is use the bureau's finance by his superiors.

Since he doesn't have much time, Oliver only orders a few signature dishes and a bottle of 1990 - vintage red wine. Then he starts to enjoy the meal alone. When Oliver comes, he's already made up his mind. He'll go to the bureau to resign later. Oliver knows that the leaders in the bureau will surely approve it. Because as long as he completes the resignation process, it means that there's one more vacant position, and they can arrange another person in. This is an income of over one hundred thousand dollar. Who wouldn't be tempted?

It takes him over half an hour to finish the meal. Oliver then only has 2 hours and 17 minutes left. He begins to regret his time - wasting behavior. He settles the bill and runs towards the bureau. He can't waste time on things that are not essential now.

The people in the bureau are very surprised to see Oliver show up at this time. As expected, his superior readily agrees to his resignation.

When Oliver comes out, his superior even personally sends him out, saying things like it's a pity that Oliver is leaving.

Back in the apartment, Oliver uses his mind to activate Isabella's intelligent program. This time, Isabella seems to be taking a bath. She doesn't shy away from Oliver either, just using the bubbles in the bathtub to cover her body. She gives Oliver a roll of her eyes and says, "Can't you see I'm taking a bath?" Oliver's eyes almost pop out. Although there are a lot of bubbles blocking, he can still see the faintly visible white skin and the breasts that make hormones surge.

Oliver quickly turns his head away and says, "Does an intelligent program also need to take a bath?" Isabella rolls her eyes at him again and says, "Although I'm a program, my intelligence completely comes from your dream lover Isabella. And," she says in a seductive voice, "my body, the current bathing movements and expressions are exactly the same as those of your secret crush Isabella. Haven't you fantasized about this scenario countless times? You'll miss the chance if you don't look..."

Isabella's words make Oliver's heart flutter. Facing his dream lover, Oliver almost loses his resistance. But he still manages to control the desire in his heart and says, "Okay, stop messing around. There are only 1 hour and 40 minutes left. I don't have much time."

Isabella laughs softly. She stretches out her white hand and casually swipes, and a white curtain appears in front of her. She starts to put on clothes behind the curtain. Looking at the shadow reflected on the curtain, Oliver has an urge to rush up and hug her and kiss her wildly. He feels his genitals getting erect and swollen. “Oliver grinds his teeth in hatred towards this intelligent program and thinks in his heart, "If she weren't an intelligent program, I'd rape her."

Soon Isabella changes her clothes. She sits on a sofa, and her beautiful appearance still makes Oliver's heart flutter. Isabella strokes her wet hair and says, "Why are you in such a hurry to call me out? Do you have a question? Or are you missing your dream lover so much that you called me out to relieve your loneliness?"

"Okay, I admit everything you said, okay?" Oliver says impatiently.

Isabella giggles.

Oliver says, "I thought of a question. Will the items I bring from the apocalyptic world be contaminated with the XR virus?" This question is very important. If the things he brings really contain the XR virus, Oliver can't imagine the consequences.

Isabella says, "The XR virus can only infect living organisms. And when the watch starts teleporting, it will automatically scan and process the space - time repository. Even if the items carry the XR virus, they will be cleared. So you don't need to worry about bringing the XR virus here. However, it should be reminded that this scanning and processing doesn't include you. If you are infected with the virus, then the watch will stop the teleportation function. In this way, it won't affect the operation of this world either."

After hearing the explanation, Oliver can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He puts Isabella call back into the watch. Then he takes out several bottles of Coke, a few packs of instant noodles, and several sausages from the refrigerator in the kitchen and stuffs them into the space repository. After thinking for a while, he also puts a steel pot in. Of course, he doesn't forget to put in cigarettes and wine. These things almost fill up the one - cubic - meter space. Oliver considers that he'll have to stay in the apocalyptic world for 21 hours and can't go without food or water. Judging from what he saw in the town, it'll be very difficult to find something to eat.

The supplies are very important for his survival in the apocalypse.
