Apocalypse: I Bring My Family to Hoard Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

The apocalypse arrived abruptly, with nuclear pollution sweeping across the globe. Typhoons, tsunamis, torrential rains, earthquakes, mutations… In a short time, all living beings on Earth faced ...

98. Chapter 98 Lies

Jiang Mi still gave the same answer to this question, "Yes, my brother should have told Mr. Xing that we have a drug that can be immune to deformation, right?"

Xing Shaoan nodded, his expression filled with emotion and passion, "It is because of this that I made up my mind to leave Winter."

Jiang Mi smiled. Even if he didn't leave Winter now, the Winter Base would be destroyed by the Second Survivor Base in the Southwest in less than two months. By then, it would be useless to not leave.

"Miss Jiang, can you show me the potion?" Xing Shaoan leaned forward slightly and looked at Jiang Mi with anticipation.

"Of course." Jiang Mi flipped his hand and took out a glass test tube from the space. Inside the test tube was the transparent and colorless space lake water.

Xing Shaoan took it carefully, shook it gently through the test tube, and looked at it carefully but couldn't see anything special. He couldn't help asking, "Can I open it?"

Jiang Mi nodded, "Whatever you want, the reagent is very stable, there won't be any problem opening it."

Hearing her words, Xing Shaoan felt relieved, opened the test tube, smelled it and wanted to taste it, but finally resisted the urge, sealed the test tube again with great care, and then handed the test tube back to Jiang Mi, sighing and saying, "Just by looking and smelling, I can't tell what the ingredients are. It's just like water. This is really magical."

"If I want to further analyze this thing, I need a laboratory. I would also like to ask you two to help me bring my teachers and other colleagues out. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to research it alone. Even if I can, it will take a long time. The help of teachers and colleagues will definitely speed up the process."

Jiang Mi nodded, "Don't worry about that, Mr. Xing. We will definitely do our best to bring all your people out, but there is one thing I want to ask."

Xing Shaoan stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, and said solemnly, "Please speak."

Jiang Mi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "I heard that the Winter Base has a method that can help people become superpowers? Can you tell me what it is?"

Xing Shaoan was not surprised that she asked this question. He nodded and explained, "In fact, the so-called method is to use the crystals born from the mutants and combine them with some stabilizing drugs to give to people. This method can indeed make people become superpowers, but the price is extremely heavy. Not only will the superpowers have more severe distortion reactions than those who advance naturally, but the success rate is only less than 30%."

At this point, Xing Shaoan's expression dimmed slightly, and he said softly, "To be honest, this is all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on testing the effect of the crystal, the head of the Winter Base wouldn't have discovered that this method could be used."

"I told him that the failure rate of this method is too high, and it is still in the research stage. The technology is not mature enough to be put into use, but he didn't listen at all."

Jiang Mi was not at all surprised by the choice of the captain of the Winter Base. After all, the needle was not sticking in his body, so of course it would not hurt.

Pushing his glasses, Xing Shaoan looked quite regretful. "Since the discovery of the crystal that can turn people into superpowers, the base director has used various methods to trick people into entering the base to become experimental subjects. In less than two months, more than two hundred people have died from the experiment."

Hearing this, Jiang Mi recalled that when he first came to City D, he heard that the Winter Base had a drug that could turn people into superpowers, and the success rate was 50%. However, the developer himself said that the success rate was less than 30%. One can imagine how many survivors the head of the Winter Base had deceived with this lie.

And how many of the survivors died.

Suddenly Jiang Mi thought of what Gu Qi said, that the Southwest Second Survivor Base had already begun to take action against the Winter Base. She originally thought that the Southwest had taken a fancy to the Winter Base's method of helping people become superpowers, but now it seems that this may be just one of the reasons.

It is possible that among those deceived by the Captain of Winter Base, there are people from the Southwest Second Base.

But this was just a guess, and she didn't know how the Southwest Base planned to attack Winter, so she didn't say it now.

She turned to look at Jiang Xun, her eyes inquiring, "What do you say tonight? Should we leave here first, or should we rest for a night?"

Jiang Xun had been listening to the conversation between the two. When asked by Jiang Mi, he thought for a moment and said, "Rest for a night first. The Winter Base seems to be in trouble recently. The base commander has no energy to pay attention to the laboratory. Leave here early tomorrow morning and find a safe place to stay."

"Okay." Jiang Mi had no objection and turned to look at Xing Shaoan, "Mr. Xing, have you eaten yet?"

"Mr. Jiang has given me food and water." Xing Shaoan opened his mouth to speak but stopped. Jiang Mi raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Xing, do you have anything else to ask?"

Xing Shaoan thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask where the Shuguang Base is?"

Jiang Mi was embarrassed by this question. This...

Logically speaking, there are actually two Dawn Bases, but the one in City B is really too small. It is just a small team. Including the two of them, there are less than ten people in total. Moreover, the two of them have been away for so long, and no one knows how Jin Lei and the others have developed. As for the one in City R, there are about twenty people. The kindergarten can barely be considered a base, but it is still a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.

"Wherever the Dawn is, there is the Dawn Base." Jiang Mi looked at Xing Shaoan and said in a pretentious manner.

How can you let the duck fly away just because you don’t have a pot?

Xing Shaoan was stunned by her words, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. No one knew what he had imagined, but his expression was very moved. "I see, it's my narrow-mindedness. If that's the case, I'll wait for good news from you two."

"However," he changed the subject, "it will probably take some time to rescue my teacher and the others. Right now, the survival space for human survivors is becoming increasingly difficult. I wonder if you two can provide me with a laboratory in City D. After seeing the immune agent today, I think I have a new idea about how to crystallize humans into superpowers. If I can research it out as soon as possible, it will bring hope to the survivors who are still struggling to survive in the apocalypse."

Hearing this, Jiang Mi's first reaction was that he had taken great pains to move to the research institute for several days, but the place was too obvious and too close to the Winter Base, so it was easy for something to go wrong. Now the head of the Winter Base might not find out that Xing Shaoan had disappeared, but it would be sooner or later that the truth would be revealed. Once discovered, people would definitely be sent to search everywhere, and even Xing Shaoan's teachers would be under stricter supervision.

It is difficult for her and her brother to challenge Winter alone, but if they can take advantage of the power of the Second Survivor Base in the Southwest, the problem can be easily solved.

However, it might be difficult to fool the Second Survivor Base in the Southwest. I need to find some time to discuss with my brother how to take advantage of the situation or cooperate with them.
