Chapter 55 Banquet

Fang Qingdai used all the remaining points she had to buy ingredients, and after returning home, she cooked some food according to the previous procedure.

While cooking, she recounted her day at the base to Jingyi.

After listening, Jing Yi pondered for a while and said, "So, the high-ranking person involved in that research at the Xuanwu Base should be Li Weidong."

"You said his son Xiao Mao didn't activate his superpowers. Did he participate in that research to implant a superpower into his son?"

Fang Qingdai shook her head: "I don't know."

Fang Qingdai initially thought that way, but after seeing how Xiao Mao and Li Weidong got along, she felt it was too different.

Xiao Mao has feelings for Li Weidong and longs to be close to that father.

But Li Weidong was very cold to Xiao Mao. He pretended to be gentle to outsiders, but his eyes showed an indifference that he couldn't hide when he looked at Xiao Mao.

“Regardless of his initial purpose, that project cannot continue.” Jing Yi’s gaze was deep, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.

“I’m worried that if this gets out, it will cause huge changes in the wasteland.”

Fang Qingdai didn't quite understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, her heart trembled violently!

She suddenly understood why the base commander seemed to know something about the darkness behind it all, but he didn't expose it directly.

The temptation of superpower transplantation is too great!

Let alone ordinary people who yearn for superpowers and want to change their appearance, even those who already possess superpowers, who could refuse to have another superpower?

As for which team would conduct experiments on living people?

So what? It's an honor for a test subject to sacrifice themselves for human development.

As long as everyone reacts quickly enough and raises the banner for that team immediately, they will certainly not be among the first to be used as guinea pigs.

The test subjects will only be selected from those who voice dissent!

So once that project is exposed, people's hearts will inevitably be stirred. At least 90% of ordinary people will support it, and at least 60% or 70% of people with superpowers will be tempted!

After all, this is a wasteland, and the people's sense of morality is not as strong as in the 21st century. People living in the wasteland learn from a young age that the strong are respected and the fittest survive!

They rarely thought about the long-term future. After all, the wasteland was fraught with danger, death was not surprising, and accidents could happen at any time. It was enough to live well in the present.

Who cares if there are catastrophic floods in the future?

Fang Qingdai held her breath, feeling a tightness in her chest.

Once again, I deeply felt that this place is a wasteland, a place where civilization has been disrupted, the environment is harsh, and the evil and ignorance of humanity are allowed to grow unchecked.

Both of them were feeling down when a childish voice slowly rang out: "Sister, shall we go get the house tomorrow and move back to our home?"

Fang Qingdai then realized that Qingluan had already woken up!

The little girl must have been awake for a while, otherwise she wouldn't know about Fang Qingdai's process of taking over the house.

But she remained obedient and silent, listening to Fang Qingdai and Jing Yi discuss matters until they both fell silent before she finally spoke up to ask a question.

Fang Qingdai hurried to the bedside and touched the little girl's forehead.

She frowned slightly and looked at Jing Yi, asking, "It's still very hot. Wasn't it supposed to be activated successfully once you woke up?"

Jingyi observed Qingdai's appearance and saw that her little nose was twitching as she tried to catch the scent. Understanding what was going on, Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle.

"When a superhuman activates their ability, they will fall into a deep sleep and will not wake up normally unless forcibly interfered with, thus interrupting the superhuman's evolution."

Fang Qingdai became even more nervous: "Did we disturb her with our conversation? Will interrupting her have any consequences?"

"It's alright, we didn't disturb her. The fact that she woke up in the middle of the process shows that Qingluan has a strong sense of self and can fight against the fatigue and exhaustion during the evolution process."

"She woke up because the aroma of the food was too overwhelming." Jing Yi smiled slightly, his eyes also shining a little.

Even he, a high-level superhuman who had enjoyed top-notch treatment at the base and had no shortage of food and drink, could never forget the taste of the food Fang Qingdai made after tasting it once.

While we were chatting, he almost drifted off several times, his eyes uncontrollably drawn to Fang Qingdai's cooking progress, and his nose kept twitching as he tried to catch the aromas.

Fang Qingdai was stunned when she heard this. She looked down at Qingluan and saw that the little girl was staring longingly at the temporary stove she had set up, with a suspicious glint of liquid on the corner of her mouth!

Fang Qingdai's lips twitched, then she felt a pang of heartache.

In the 21st century, which child this young isn't carefully pampered by their family and can't get any snacks they want?

Children in the wasteland have difficulty even getting a side dish, let alone the delicious food on the stove!

Fang Qingdai took out a water pouch from her spatial storage and handed it to Qingluan: "Drink some water first. The doctor said you should drink more water, it will help activate your superpowers!"

Seeing Qingluan obediently pick up the kettle and gulp down the water, Fang Qingdai quickly turned back to the stove, reassuring her as she did so, "The food will be ready soon, just wait patiently!"

After busying himself at the stove for a while, Xiao Mao and Uncle Lu Hai arrived.

Fang Qingdai thought that Lu Hai had been very helpful today, so inviting one or two friends was no different. Since it was all under the guise of a celebration, inviting more friends wouldn't hurt.

Since we've already called for Xiao Mao and Lu Hai, then Uncle Lu and his wife, as well as Zhang Chengjie, shouldn't be left out.

The Lu family was the first wave of kindness Fang Qingdai encountered after transmigrating, and she owed them a lot of favors. Now that she was leaving, she definitely had to thank them properly.

As for Zhang Chengjie... let's put aside the relationship for now, but he's still in his territory, so we definitely have to give him this much face.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Qingdai called Wang Biao again.

He has been a great help these past two days, and yesterday he was the first to stand up and testify against Wang Fang's family.

Now that her identity as a space-type ability user is out in the open, Fang Qingdai no longer needs to hide it.

She took out some old tables she had collected in high-radiation areas from her spatial storage. She took the ones that were still usable and restored the ones that were too worn out using her special ability before taking them out.

The tables and chairs were set out, and the dishes were laid out. All the guests invited today had arrived!

"Sister, this is a congratulatory gift I prepared. Congratulations on your certification as a superhuman!"

Xiao Mao no longer had the gloomy look he had earlier. Now, the chubby boy was smiling brightly and sincerely, looking even more lovable.

Fang Qingdai didn't stand on ceremony with him and readily accepted the box from his arms.

"Come in and sit down. The shack area isn't as spacious as the base, so please bear with us." This was mainly said to Xiao Mao and Lu Hai.

After all, both of them lived within the base, and there was a fear that they wouldn't be able to accept the chaos of the shack area.

As soon as Fang Qingdai finished speaking, Xiao Mao responded with a grin.

Fang Qingdai was puzzled and turned around to look, only to find that Lu Hai had not followed her in.

He stood still, staring at Uncle Lu and his wife for a long time without speaking, their expressions complicated.
