Chapter 094 Chapter 94 There is a physical entity

An Qing is looking at documents in the office.

The base expansion was successfully completed, but due to the recent large-scale hunting of mutant animals, the newly built freezers are full again, so these expanded areas cannot be used for other purposes for the time being and must first be used to store mutant animals.

After An Qing finished reading the document, she put it aside and picked up the next one to continue reading.

This is an application submitted by the research institute, and it was submitted by Jiang Fusheng on behalf of an old researcher at the institute.

After reading it carefully, An Qing was still a little confused.

The application submitted by the institute roughly means that the institute is very busy, really busy, so they really can't handle things like making cookware. However, because the base is in great need of all kinds of pots, pans, and utensils, the institute has applied to transfer a group of people with strong learning abilities from the utensil manufacturer to learn the technology of producing pots, pans, and utensils. Originally, matters related to utensils should be the concern of the utensil manufacturer, not the institute.

An Qing only knew that the pots and pans she used were all made by the research institute, but she originally thought that only the researchers at the institute figured out how to make the pots and pans, and then handed them over to the craftsmen.

After all this time, they say it was developed by the research institute, but it was really all done by researchers?

An Qing was speechless for a moment. No wonder the researchers at the research institute were so angry. Who could stand this?

After An Qing understood the situation, she naturally agreed to this matter and asked Zhou Jing to notify the equipment manufacturer to send people to the research institute for training.

Zhou Jing had just gone out and An Qing had just started looking at the next document when there was a knock on the door.

An Qing put down the documents and said, "Come in."

Wei Xunyi pushed the door open with a solemn expression and hurried over: "Base Commander, something happened."

An Qing frowned: "What's the matter?"

"We discovered a large number of blood vines sneaking into the base from underground in the northwest direction. Because they were sneaking quietly from underground, there was no movement at all. We don't know if there are any blood vines sneaking from underground in other directions of the base." This matter is very serious. Wei Xunyi frowned tightly, looking gloomy and ugly.

An Qing recalled the blood vine's habits. "Don't blood vines usually act alone? Did they change their habits after the second mutation? Also, if there was no movement, how did they find the blood vines in the northwest direction?"

Wei Xunyi spoke briefly and quickly explained that when the Fiery Team and the Fish Team were handing over, Tang Ming discovered something was wrong and then grabbed the blood vine from the ground.

An Qing sat up straight. "First, have someone notify the people in other directions to detect whether there are blood vines or other hidden mutant plants underground. First, arrange for people to go to the northwest to support the Fiery Team and the Fish Team."

"Yes." Wei Xunyi immediately went down to make arrangements.

An Qing stood up and walked around the office with a frown on her face. She was a little worried about Tang Ming, but Tang Ming was now a superpower, and his strength had greatly improved compared to before. No matter what, there would be no problem in saving his life.

Although I thought so, I was still a little worried.

She took a few deep breaths and began to ponder why the mutated animals and plants were running towards the base.

There are two possibilities. One is that they all know that there are many humans living in the base here. Before, they were not strong enough and could only watch humans living here but could not get close. After the second mutation, they felt that they had the ability to come and devour the base, so they walked towards this side.

Of course, there is also a second possibility.

Perhaps the food that can enhance human physique has a strong attraction to mutant plants and animals. Even if there is an internal circulation system in the base, a little bit of it still leaks to the outside world, thus attracting mutant plants and animals to move towards the base.

As for why the mutant animals did not lose their minds and rush directly towards the base, it may be that the leaked smell was not much, not enough to shake the animals' sanity, so they headed towards the base while not forgetting to busy themselves with their own things.

Then why didn't the mutant plants approach the base before, but are only now slowly approaching it? And why are they moving underground?

But no matter what attracted them, the mutated animals and plants were all heading towards the base.

An Qing picked up the communicator and called Jiang Fusheng.

The call was quickly answered, "Hello, Base Commander."

An Qing: "Well, I remember reading some information before. The research institute was researching a special potion to deal with the mutated blood vine, right? How's it going now? Have they produced any results?"

Jiang Fusheng: "It has been released. We have conducted experiments at the base and the results are good. However, due to the beast tide, it has not yet been applied in actual combat, and the specific effect is still uncertain."

An Qing: "There are a lot of mutated blood vines heading towards the base. Have someone pack up the potions and send them out now. Pack as many as you can."

Jiang Fusheng was stunned. "The mutated blood vines are coming towards the base? There are still many."

An Qing: "Yes, how many medicines are there now? If not many, how much can be produced now?"

Jiang Fusheng frowned. "There aren't many potions left. Currently, there are only 100. Because the mutant plants and animals have mutated a second time, I wanted to wait until the beast tide was over and have someone go into the dense forest to collect samples for analysis. This way, I could improve the potion specifically for the second-mutated blood vines."

"We can make the potion right now, but I'm worried the potion used against the previous blood vine won't be effective against the second mutated one." Jiang Fusheng said, "Base Commander, I hope you can send someone to escort my assistant to the site where the blood vine has appeared to collect samples."

An Qing was stunned and hesitated: "It's too late to collect samples now, right?"

Jiang Fusheng: "Don't worry, as long as the blood vines are not strong enough to break through the base within three days, we will still have time."

An Qing: "..."

Okay, she thought for a while, and called Li Yu and the other two who were gradually becoming familiar with their stronger bodies, and asked them to escort Jiang Fusheng's assistant Qiong Jing to the northwest to collect samples.

"Your mission this time is very important. I hope you can escort Qiong Jing to the northwest district as quickly as possible, protect his safety, give him time to collect samples, and then immediately escort him back to base." An Qing looked at the three of them. "I know this is your first time on a mission outside the base and you have no experience, so you only need to ensure Qiong Jing's safety. I'll take charge of the rest."

An Qing has read Qiong Jing's information.

Qiong Jing was able to become Jiang Fusheng's assistant because he has a very good brain. He received elite education since childhood, which is different from the original owner and other outbound teams who only received simple literacy and arithmetic education.

After all, as an assistant, Qiong Jing also needs to assist Jiang Fusheng in his work. If he doesn't understand this or that, he can't help.

However, while Qiong Jing was receiving elite education, he also did not neglect his physical training.

He follows Jiang Fusheng and serves as his assistant as well as his bodyguard.

Before becoming Jiang Fusheng's assistant, he had followed the outbound team and the special team for training, and had led the outbound team and the special team to avoid danger many times with the knowledge he had learned.

It can be said that this person has strong fighting skills and a smart mind. He can clearly judge the situation and arrange the people around him reasonably.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to let Li Yu and others obey Qiong Jing's command.

Li Yu and the other two received An Qing's instructions and went to collect their equipment first, and then waited at the door on the first floor of the central building. Not long after, Qiong Jing, who was carrying tools and was almost fully armed, came out of the elevator.

After both parties confirmed their identities, they left the base together from the northwest exit.

Not long after An Qing finished making the arrangements, Wei Xunyi hurried over, looking even uglier than before.

"Base Commander, mutated blood vines have appeared in other directions as well." Wei Xunyi rubbed his aching temple. "The blood vines should be relatively slow when sneaking underground, but because they were discovered much later in other directions than in the northwest, they are now less than two kilometers away from the base.

Two kilometers means it’s very close to the base.

An Qing's scalp tingled for a moment. She asked, "Are there a lot of blood vines in other directions as well?"

Wei Xunyi nodded solemnly.

An Qing curled her fingers into fists, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Have the support personnel been dispatched in various directions?"

Wei Xunyi nodded: "It has been sent out."

An Qing thought for a while, "Does the blood vine have any natural enemies?"

Wei Xunyi was stunned; "Natural enemy?"

An Qing nodded: "Yes, what kind of creature feeds on blood vines?"

Wei Xunyi understood An Qing's intention and shook his head, saying, "That won't work, Base Commander. The blood vine does have natural enemies. The resting birds and flying-eared rabbits both feed on the blood vine, but they don't just eat blood vine. If we really use them to deal with the blood vine, I'm afraid it will only bring disaster."

"Both the Breathing Bird and the Flying Rabbit are mutants that can fly. They're already difficult to deal with, especially now that they've mutated a second time. We haven't encountered them yet, so we don't know what they've become."

An Qing sighed, "I see. Then call a meeting and let's discuss it and see if we can find a solution."

Although Jiang Fusheng was confident, An Qing felt that it was not a good idea to put all her hopes on Jiang Fusheng.

Wei Xunyi responded and went down to notify.

An Qing opened the system panel.

She hadn't checked her happiness value for a long time. Perhaps it was because restaurants could take away meals now, so more people could buy meals. In addition, vending machines had also opened up, so even if she couldn't buy meals, she could still buy all kinds of food in the supermarket. So her happiness value had increased rapidly during this period.

She used to open the system panel every day, but she mainly went there for the daily benefits, as well as the rice and flour delivered every two days.

Although there are more than 2,000 tons of rice on the welfare shelf every time, rice is something that is consumed less as time goes by, so the food shelf can only buy 100 kilograms every two days, but she did not miss out on buying it.

Even a small mosquito is meat.

Today I opened the system panel specifically to check my happiness value, and I saw that my happiness value had risen to 3.2 billion without me noticing.

When An Qing saw the balance of her happiness value, she was stunned for a moment. She suspected that she had seen it wrong, and counted it one by one.

It took An Qing a while to confirm that her happiness value was really more than 3 billion.

"001, my happiness value is enough, why didn't you remind me?" An Qing asked after a long while.

001 appeared in front of An Qing and wagged his tail. "You were too busy some time ago. I wanted to talk to you several times, but you told me not to disturb you."

An Qing: "..."

She recalled it and it seemed to be true.

At that time, she was busy dealing with documents, so she asked 001 not to disturb her.

An Qing withdrew her gaze from the happiness value and asked 001, "Is there anything in the system that can deal with the blood vines? I remember that some items in the system won't appear on the shelves, but they can be purchased through you, right?"

For example, when she wanted to confirm the situation of her parents, she used happiness points to purchase it from 001.

There is also the matter of protecting the souls of parents and arranging a new life for them. This is not on the system panel, but you can do the transaction directly through 001.

001 shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to help you. Perhaps you could refresh the welfare shelf to see if you can refresh it and see if you can find anything useful?"

An Qing was stunned: "The welfare shelf can be refreshed."

001 nodded, "You can refresh it, but not now. I need a physical body to help you refresh the welfare shelf."

An Qing raised her eyebrows and stared at 001 with some suspicion. "It really requires that you have a physical body as a prerequisite."

001 was speechless: "There's no need for me to lie to you. You've already promised to help me buy the physical item. Do I really need to lie to you?"

An Qing thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Although she has not yet protected her parents' souls, her happiness value is now sufficient, enough for both her parents and 001's needs.

An Qing was thinking to herself that the blood vines were coming in with such force that it was a question of how long this base could last and whether it would be breached by the blood vines.

What if, what if she fails to deal with the blood vine, she might not live long.

After all, the food made with the system-produced pots and pans is very attractive to mutant animals and plants. Once she loses the protection of the base, she will either never use the system-produced pots and pans to cook food again, or she will be torn to pieces by the beasts.

In that case, it would be difficult for her to accumulate happiness points, unless the food in the system supermarket could also increase the happiness points of mutant animals.

But when An Qing went to the breeding base before, she tried it and found that food that did not have the effect of improving physical fitness had no appeal to the mutant animals. Even if they ate it, it did not increase her happiness value.

This is normal. After all, mutant animals have no shortage of food.

An Qing thought for a long time before asking, "I remember your entity needs 50 million, right?"

001 looked at An Qing with sparkling eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yes."

An Qing nodded: "Okay, first use the happiness value to protect my parents' souls."

001 also became serious, "Okay."

[Ding, do you know how to use 2000000000 happiness points to protect your parents' souls? ]

An Qing: "Yes."

[Ding—Happiness value has been deducted, soul is being circled.]

[Ding—Successfully passed through the spatial barrier, locating the target soul, forming a protective layer...]

【A protective layer has been formed.】

An Qing blinked, and the system didn't respond.

An Qing looked at 001 doubtfully, "Are my parents okay?"

001: "To be precise, your parents' souls are fine now. If you're worried, you can use 10 million happiness points to check on your parents again."

An Qing was silent for a while, then chose to believe 001. "Forget it, let's not check it for now. Let me replace the entity for you first."

[Ding——Do you want to use 50000000 to purchase entities for system 001?]

An Qing: "Confirmed."

[Ding——Happiness value has been deducted, please wait.]

001 was so excited that he almost jumped up.

The next moment, 001 returned to the system supermarket and stood in the open space of the supermarket. Circles of bright light surrounded it, like a light band emitted by a magic wand wrapped around 001.

Those light spots entered 001's body little by little, and soon they all disappeared as if they were absorbed by 001.

An Qing stared at 001 in the system supermarket, looking left and right, but couldn't see any difference from before.

She asked doubtfully, "Do you really have a physical body?"

001 paced back and forth in the supermarket, holding his head high, looking extremely happy.

Hearing this, it came out of the system, landed on An Qing's legs, and rubbed its head against her: "Feel it for yourself, it's different from before, right?"

An Qing reached out and touched it, but still didn't feel any difference from before. The only difference was probably... it seemed a little heavier than before.

An Qing patted its head and stopped worrying: "Okay, help me refresh the welfare shelf first, I'll see if I can refresh something useful."
