Chapter 258 Laboratory

"You should be careful, it's better than losing your life due to carelessness," Xu Sa responded.

The man said eh and glanced at the woman who was ignored.

The woman was wearing a white dress and looked exceptionally young. She looked like she was in her early thirties although she was in her forties. It was obvious that she had not suffered much and seemed to be living a good life.

"Do you know this guy?" asked the man who was buying shrimp.

"I don't know him." Xu Sa shook his head. "Look, I'm just a street beggar. I don't think I can know such an important person, right?"

He was busy all day, and his hands would occasionally handle frozen fish that had turned into ice cubes. Occasionally, if there were not many people around and he was not paying attention, he would be scratched by the mutated and protruding parts of the fish.

The fingers were soaked until they turned white, and the wounds were cracked, which looked quite miserable.

"Sasa, are you still blaming mom? Mom had no choice at the time." The woman spoke again, her voice choked with sobs, tears rolling down her face, looking pitiful.

Xu Sa counted the crystal cores handed over by the man, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put them back into the storage box. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Bijuan, "Madam, that's enough. This is a place to sell things, not a place for you to cry."

"If you want to buy something, I welcome you to do so. But if you cry and whine and bring bad luck to my business, that's another matter."

Zhang Bijuan looked the same as he remembered, with two children, one big and one small, by her side. The older one was a boy, probably the boy she was pregnant with.

He should be seven years old, after all, he was in prison for six years.

"Sasa, don't you recognize your mother?" the woman cried.

When the people around saw this scene, they kept looking at the two of them and watching the fun.

"This is Mrs. Qin from the Morning Light Team, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed her. I have seen her appear next to Mr. Qin."

"Doesn't she have only one son named Qin Fei? How come another one suddenly appeared?"

"I've never heard that she gave birth to two children."

"It's not some illegitimate child, is it? Haha, does Mr. Qin know that his wife has such a big illegitimate child outside?"

"He has quite a few lovers. I heard that there are several who have entered his house. It is said that he has a pregnant one at home."

"Then it makes sense that his wife is having an affair outside. They are a perfect match, haha..."

Xu Sa listened to their whispers and mentioned Zhang Bijuan's recent situation in a few words. He ignored the embarrassment that flashed across Zhang Bijuan's face and looked at everyone else calmly, "Are you guys still buying? These are fresh frozen seafood, the last batch. Don't miss it if you pass by."

"Those who are not buying, please stand aside and don't affect the business."

Zhang Bijuan didn't get a response from Xu Sa, so she pushed her son beside her forward and said, "Yangyang, call me brother, this is your brother."

The little boy glanced at Xu Sa, but didn't call anyone. Instead, he looked eagerly at the things on the stall and said, "Mom, I want to eat fish."

"No, I don't have a younger brother, and my parents are both dead. Don't just stick to me," Xu Sa hurriedly stopped him.

"Are you selling something? If you can afford the crystal core, buy it. If you can't afford it, just leave. If you act like this, people who don't know you would think you're begging. It's embarrassing." Xu Sa said, directly poking at Zhang Bijuan's favorite dignity. "You don't look like you're doing poorly. You're not really here to take advantage of others, are you?"

Zhang Bijuan lowered her eyes and did not object, but her eyes were filled with tears. "Sasa, don't be like this. Mom knows I'm sorry for you, but I had no choice at the time." As Zhang Bijuan spoke, she actually knelt on the ground, looking as if she wanted to kowtow to him.

This incident caused quite a stir, and the people around who originally wanted to buy things also took two steps back.

The business is totally unsuccessful.

"Forget it, let's stop doing this and pack up." Xu Sa knew the situation their team was facing now. They couldn't have a big conflict with the people at the base. What if there was some force secretly watching them and gave them the opportunity to attack the team directly.

He suppressed his displeasure and directed the two people who came to help to put away the remaining things.

"Sasa, please forgive your mother. If you hadn't done that, your brother wouldn't have survived. That's a life," said Zhang Bijuan, and she actually kowtowed in the direction of Xu Sa.

Xu Sa dodged in a hurry, feeling nauseous.

She was good-looking, and her ordinary behavior made the onlookers around her feel a little uncomfortable. Some grown men even spoke up for her.

"Young man, no matter what happened in the past, if your mother can kowtow to you on the ground with her son's words, she is your mother after all."

"That's right. No matter what she did, wasn't it all for your brother? We are all family. Why can't the older brother be more generous?"

"That's right. She knows she's wrong now, but she's still holding on to it. She's unworthy of being a son."

"How could he do such a thing when he looks like a decent person?"

"Mrs. Qin, don't beg him anymore. Get up quickly. It's better not to have a son like this."

"That's right, just live your own life in this world. He doesn't look like he's doing well, so why bother with him?"

"Don't say that. I am the one who is sorry for my son," Zhang Bijuan said softly, wiping her tears.

"The world is in such a state now. I just hope my son can stay by my side. After all, he is my own son. How can I bear to watch him..." She broke down in tears halfway through her words.

Xu Sa lowered his head slightly and his expression could not be seen clearly. His slightly long hair covered half of his face, so any expression on his face could not be seen clearly for a moment.

Liu Rui, who was standing by, seemed to be on fire and his whole body was burning.

He took a few steps to block in front of Xu Sa, and shouted angrily at the pointing crowd, "You...you...shut...shut up!"

The fierce expression, coupled with his stuttering tone, failed to achieve a vicious effect.

Seeing that no one paid attention, Liu Rui immediately prepared to use his supernatural powers.

…

When the conflict occurred in the downtown area, Zhuang Mingxu had already followed Zhuang Mobai to his laboratory.

Zhuang Mobai's laboratory is not far from where they live.

Just behind the row of houses opposite to the old man Zhuang's villa, there is a separate villa, which is the residence of Zhuang Mobai alone.

Zhuang Mobai took him inside and directly into an inconspicuous room on the first floor. After pushing open the cabinet door, a passage leading to the underground was revealed.

"This is the nearest passage. There are other entrances and exits," Zhuang Mobai explained and took the lead to lead the way.

It looked like an ordinary staircase, leading directly to Zhuang Mobai's lounge below.

Zhuang Mobai put on a white coat and handed one to Zhuang Mingxu to change into.

"This is my bedroom. I rest here when I'm busy." The two of them left the bedroom and saw a very ordinary office. It looked ordinary and there was nothing special about it.

"The ward is outside." Zhuang Mobai opened the door and walked out with Zhuang Mingxu.

"This floor is full of people who have undergone surgery. These few have had successful operations and already have superpowers. The two over here are people whose operations failed. The ones in front are people whose operations have been completed but who have not yet awakened," Zhuang Mobai introduced as he calmly opened the door of a ward-like room.

There was a middle-aged woman inside. She was wearing a loose hospital gown and looked like an ordinary middle-aged woman. There didn't seem to be anything special about her.

She was holding a cup of water and drinking water. When she saw Zhuang Mobai coming in, she immediately put down her hand and excitedly called out "Doctor Zhuang".

Then, she picked up a clean cup from the bedside table. As the two of them watched, a layer of water stains gradually appeared on the empty cup, which gradually increased and finally became half a cup.

"Doctor Zhuang, have some water," the woman said, handing the cup to Zhuang Mobai.

Zhuang Mobai took it and took a sip, "Not bad." He looked at the water in the cup and asked her a series of questions such as her current use of her supernatural powers, her proficiency, etc.

Zhuang Mingxu on the side looked around the ward and finally set his eyes on the medical record card hanging on the bed.

He picked it up.

It says, name Wang Xiu, 38 years old, tenth day after surgery.

After opening it overnight, I found that it recorded the daily conditions and medications from the first day after the operation to the present.

Zhuang Mingxu did not recognize the medicine written in the legendary doctor's handwriting, but there were many symptoms written clearly on it, especially the fact that she began to develop superpowers on the third day after the operation, and the changes in her superpowers from being uncontrolled at the beginning to later.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Zhuang Mingxu followed Zhuang Mobai to the ward. Just as he was about to move forward, he saw a man in a white coat coming over and calling out "Doctor Zhuang". He mentioned a problem that a patient had recently and asked him to come over and take a look.

"Then I'll go over there. Mingxu, you walk around and don't touch the fluid you're receiving." Zhuang Mobai looked at the thing that looked like a medical record book that the man handed over, and reminded, "You can look at those whose operations were successful, but it's best not to disturb those who failed. Their emotions are not very stable, so it's better not to make them sad."

"Emotionally unstable?" Zhuang Mingxu wondered.

Zhuang Mobai wrote and drew on the medical record. He paused for a moment and looked up at the wards with tightly closed doors with a look of pity. "There is a certain possibility of failure in the operation. The people who had the operation with them have awakened, but they haven't. It's inevitable that they feel disappointed and can't accept it."

"Also, I don't have the energy to study whether a second operation is possible, so they can't perform another operation on them in a short time. This means that they can't gain superpowers in a short time."

"A few days ago, there were people who couldn't accept it and knelt down to beg Dr. Zhuang to perform another operation on them. They would even accept failure and death." The male doctor at the side also had a look of regret on his face. "But as doctors, we still have to have the most basic medical ethics. How can we use something we don't know on patients?"

After the man finished speaking, Zhuang Mingxu heard the sound of footsteps coming from several wards nearby, but in the end no one opened the door and walked out.

“Those who have just undergone surgery should not go in. Their conditions are unstable and they cannot be exposed to unknown external stimuli.” After Zhuang Mobai finished speaking, he no longer cared about Zhuang Mingxu and followed the man's steps and left in a hurry.

It was so casual, as if there was nothing he couldn't see, that Zhuang Mingxu relaxed his vigilance for a moment.
