Chapter041

Shi Jiu accidentally put too much poison in her tentacles, and the alien was now unconscious. Shi Jiu and the still unconscious Minister Qi had just left the alien containment room when they happened to meet someone who came to support them.

"What happened to Minister Qi?" someone asked.

"I accidentally fainted." Shi Jiu didn't say much.

With the help of those people who came over, Shi Jiu and Minister Qi quickly returned to the safe zone.

The researchers stayed in the safe zone for nearly a day before the alien situation outside was finally under control. Following instructions from their superiors, some researchers were gradually allowed to leave the safe zone.

"I just heard that the alien situation isn't over yet. Those aliens outside the base are still attacking us. Right now, the base's soldiers are on guard outside the base." Xiao Qi whispered beside Shi Jiu, "But the base should be safe for now. I think we can all get out soon."

Not long after Xiao Qi finished speaking, they heard the news that the crisis was over and everyone could leave the safe zone.

"Finally, we can get out! I'm suffocating!" The safe zone was crowded, and the air wasn't flowing. The smell wasn't very pleasant with so many people around. Xiao Qi couldn't wait to pull Shi Jiu out.

But before they could even reach their department, they were suddenly stopped. The soldiers who stopped them were from the research institute's base. "Miss Tokijiu, please come with us."

"What's wrong?" The soldiers in front of him had serious expressions. Xiao Qi stood in front of Shi Jiu and looked at the two soldiers and said, "Shi Jiu has been in the safe zone the whole time and hasn't made any mistakes, right?"

"It's a request from our superiors," the soldier replied.

Shi Jiu took the initiative to step forward and looked at Xiao Qi. "It's okay. Maybe they need me for something. You should go back first."

Xiao Qi still looked at them doubtfully, then said in a muffled voice, "Okay."

The two soldiers led Shi Jiu to the door of a conference room and said, "Please come in."

Shi Jiu pushed open the door. Inside, all the people he knew were familiar. Minister Qi and Dr. Song were also there, both looking unhappy. Sitting between them was the director. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in all black, with a short stubble on his chin. Hearing the door open, he glanced at Shi Jiu.

"Are you Tokijiu?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why I called you here this time?"

Shijiu had probably guessed it, but before she could say anything, laser ropes appeared on her body. The laser ropes were very powerful, but the director had no intention of attacking Shijiu yet. He just wanted to trap Shijiu first. As long as Shijiu didn't move, the laser ropes wouldn't hurt her.

The director moved her hand, and a large blue screen appeared in front of everyone. On it was the scene of Shi Jiu fighting with the alien species before. Tentacles that did not belong to humans at all appeared clearly on her hands.

"Xiaojiu." Dr. Song frowned and said, "Are you infected?"

Shi Jiu: “Yeah.”

"You knew it a long time ago?" This time it was Minister Qi who spoke.

“It wasn’t known very early.”

Dr. Song seemed to have thought of something. His gaze fell on Shi Jiu's fingers. He widened his eyes slightly and asked in disbelief, "Did you inject it yourself?"

Shijiu: “Yes.”

"You!" Dr. Song didn't know what to say for a moment. "I thought you were quite obedient, but why are you so crazy when you get crazy?"

"Do you know what that thing is? If you inject it, you will die, do you know that?" Dr. Song became a little anxious as he spoke.

Shi Jiu lowered his head and listened quietly without saying a word.

"She received the vaccine." Dr. Song calmed down and continued, "It's not yet clear whether it's benign or malignant."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Minister Qi looked up at Shi Jiu and asked.

"No."

Dr. Song looked at the director and said, "Leave Xiaojiu in our laboratory for observation for a while."

Shijiu was imprisoned and placed in a separate room. Everyone thought she was infected because of the injection of the jellyfish's gene bead, but in fact, she was originally a different species, and the jellyfish's gene bead had no effect on her at all.

She'd been discovered on purpose. The jellyfish's tank was incredibly defensive, and Shijiu was simply looking for an opportunity to contact the jellyfish and take it away. Apparently, inoculating her with the jellyfish's genetic beads was a good idea; she'd definitely have many opportunities to interact with the jellyfish in the future.

Shijiu spent several days in the cell, feeling quite comfortable. She didn't have to work, and someone brought her food. The only thing she had to do was be checked over for a while. Shijiu was already familiar with the lab researchers, and she cooperated well with them. They liked her, too, and often came to chat with her.

From the researcher, Shi Jiu also learned that the base has now returned to peace, but the only bad thing is that a small village southwest of the base has fallen, and all the humans in the village have been infected and turned into alien species.

"Congratulations, Ajiu, you are now defined as a safe infection and can come out." The research results came out, Shijiu's current mutation is safe and can be controlled, and the researcher opened the door that was locked for Shijiu.

As soon as Shi Jiu came out, he saw Dr. Song coming over. Dr. Song was obviously in a good mood, "Xiao Jiu."

"PhD."

"Your results are out, and they're all benign." Dr. Song could barely contain his smile. He looked out the window. It was already dark. Dr. Song continued, "It's getting late. If you want to go out and play, you can go for a walk. We'll need your help in our future research."

"It's my duty." Shi Jiu said.

Knowing that Shijiu had finally come out, Xiaoqi went to Shijiu's dormitory to celebrate. Now you can see news about the base everywhere, and you can see Mixiu on various online platforms.

Maybe he has been very busy these days, and Shijiu even feels that he has lost a lot of weight.

Xiao Qi noticed what Shi Jiu was looking at. She smiled and whispered, "Admiral Mixiu has been very busy. I heard he hasn't had a good meal in several days."

"I feel like if the Admiral continues like this, his body will not be able to bear it."

“…”

There were still some vegetables at home, and at Xiaoqi's instigation, Shijiu made some lunch boxes and planned to send them to Michelle.

Well, just consider it as repaying him for saving her last time.

Mi Xiu was currently on duty at Area 33, not far from her dormitory, and Shi Jiu found him easily.

There were several soldiers at the base with Mixiu. Seeing a stranger approaching, they all became alert. But they never expected that their cold-blooded Admiral Mixiu would actually walk towards the girl first.

"Why are you here?" Under the dim street light, Michel lowered his eyes to look at her.

"I heard that you didn't eat and were about to die, so I came to bring you some food." Shi Jiu said softly with a smile.

Mi Xiu looked at the lunch box in her hand, a little surprised, "You made it?"

"Um."

They originally thought that this was just a woman who wanted to get close to General Michel, but the next scene shocked the soldiers around Michel.

Their noble, cold-blooded admiral was actually eating a box lunch on the roadside?!

"Is it delicious?" Shi Jiu asked curiously after seeing Michelle eating.

She is not very good at cooking, but this time she made something decent.

Mixiu took another bite. His expression didn't change. He chewed it carefully twice before swallowing it. Under Shijiu's expectant gaze, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said honestly, "It's not tasty."
