Upgradable Space: Reborn to Survive the Apocalypse

Chapter 410 The Psycho Finds a Playmate

After saying goodbye to Tyler, Caroline went home and slept for one hour to recharge. Then she went to find Nelson. She had a decision she wanted to discuss with him. Unexpectedly, when she entered his room, she saw the naked man sitting right in front of Nelson! It was the same naked man she and Tyler chased away earlier. He didn't leave at all! Caroline tensed up instantly. When she pushed the door open, the naked man turned to look. As soon as he saw her, his face lit up with a huge grin, madness flashing in his eyes. Caroline already had a water orb in her hand, ready to attack. But the naked man suddenly collapsed backwards and fell flat right in front of her. Nelson rolled up his sleeves, his pale, harmless face lit up with bright, crazy eyes. "Caroline, is this a gift from you?" Caroline was dumbfounded. What the hell? What happened when I wasn't here? At Nelson's request, Caroline had set up his room on the 65th floor for easier access to his lab. The 65th floor was filled with his experimental materials; the smell was pretty strong, so Raven and Snow hadn't picked up the intruder's scent. No one knew when this naked man sneaked into the 65th floor. But a sharp mind stays sharp no matter what. Nelson was one of those insanely smart people. After waking up and eating a few bites of cake, Nelson suddenly saw a flash, and a naked man appeared in front of him! Nelson's first reaction was to hide the cake so no one's taking it. But the naked man was fast. In just a few seconds, he snatched the cake from Nelson's hands and ate more than half of it in two big bites! Then he flashed a mouthful of yellow teeth and asked Nelson, "Got more?"Nelson lost it. That cake was from Caroline! He and the naked man started wrestling. Maybe because he'd eaten the cake, the naked man didn't go all out—it was more like he was playing. But Nelson? He was jabbing syringes into him for real. Then Nelson noticed something—this guy was an ability user, and not the average one. Nelson calmed down and tried to talk to him. All he learned was that his name was Shane Roffe, and he was here looking for William and the others. Hearing that, Nelson instantly went on alert. This guy was actually with the trio that released the plague! Nelson looked at Shane. "Still want some cake?" Shane got instantly interested. Then Nelson got creative with tech and made a "cake" with zero cream, and added a little something extra. While Shane was eating the cake, Nelson asked him a few questions. Turned out Shane was a psycho. He was looking for William and the others just to "play" with them, and he'd taken a liking to Caroline, too! Well, good thing he'd spiked that "cake." That's when Caroline walked in. Shane's eyes lit up at the sight of her. In his excitement, the drug in the cake kicked in faster, and he passed out. After hearing Nelson's quick summary, Caroline broke into a cold sweat for him. But Nelson was thrilled. Shane's abilities were fascinating! He'd keep him busy for a while! Shane had no idea that after searching for so long for someone to play with, he'd finally found someone willing to play with him. Caroline took another slice of real cake from her storage space and handed it to Nelson. His eyes lit up again, and he unconsciously sniffed it. Real cake smelled so much better than lab-made stuff! She warned Nelson to be careful around Shane, emphasizing that he was a psycho and explaining how dangerous his abilities were.Nelson rubbed his chin, his expression turning serious. "Yeah, got it. Don't worry." Then he went over to the table, drew a syringe, and injected Shane in the arm. Better safe than sorry, let's start with a dose! Knowing how dangerous Shane was, Caroline handed Nelson a gun from her storage space, with auto-aim. She also wanted Nelson to tie Shane up, but Nelson shook his head. "When dealing with someone you can't beat or kill, don't use force—use your brain. Don't provoke him." Caroline thought he had a point, but she still reminded him to be careful.
