Chapter 32 The Seventh Plot

After he finished speaking, the carriage fell silent.

Qi He seemed not to hear clearly and turned around: "What did you say?"

Yan Chuanbai took a deep breath, looked straight ahead, and answered almost uncontrollably: "I said, can't you delete him?"

Qi He: ???

Why did he delete the official post?

The system silently screamed in my mind: Has this moment finally arrived?!

In the driver's seat, Yan Chuanbai closed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands:

——Gong Lianyu.

He was wondering why there was no sign of it at first. It turned out that there was a truth-telling person accompanying the opposing military.

The eyes of the people beside him were still on him, with the usual thoughtfulness and suspicion.

Now is not a good time to bring it up.

Yan Chuanbai lowered his voice: "...Don't talk to me for now."

Qi He pondered: "System, what happened to Yan Chuanbai? Plot? Chain reaction?"

The system remained silent, only sneering.

Qi He stared at him for a few seconds, then turned against him and asked, "Why did you delete the official account?"

The vein on Yan Chuanbai's forehead jumped, "I don't like him."

"..." Qi He, "Then delete him."

There was no more talk beside me.

He pondered the other person's words again: Green tea? His understanding of "green tea" came only from the characters in strategy games - on the surface, weak and harmless, but behind the scenes, full of aggression and calculation, aiming to win the player's attention.

Who are you talking about? The official?

There is a sense of being weak and harmless, after all, with a combat power close to 0, and full of attacks from behind? Whose attention is he trying to win?

Qi He looked at Yan Chuanbai, "He attacked you behind your back?"

Yan Chuanbai sneered, "He provoked me."

Qi He thought about it and believed it, "He also provoked me."

“…”

So, Guan Shang specifically picked on the S-rank combat department to provoke him, probably because he really wanted to go to the front line and attract the attention of headquarters. He didn't dislike ambitious people, as long as their methods were not despicable.

Qi He said calmly: "After all, we are still working together. If you don't get along with him, just don't get along with him in private."

Yan Chuanbai gritted his teeth and said, "We can't get along at all."

He frantically mobilized his mental strength, resisting the supernatural power being exerted upon him. A thick layer of ice suddenly formed on the road outside the car. Fortunately, his mental strength was higher than Gong Lianyu's, and the effect of the copied supernatural power was weakened. The urge to release all the energy within him seemed to have weakened a little.

I can't keep saying this.

Suddenly, Qi He spoke again: "But I don't hate people like Guan Shang." Besides, there is something else to communicate, so it is impossible to delete the communication.

"Not annoying?"

The force that had been suppressed instantly rushed up again.

It seemed that it was not only his supernatural powers that were at work, but also that his paranoid side was aroused.

Yan Chuanbai said, "So you like it very much?"

Qi He paused, "Not really."

"How does that compare to me?"

The car suddenly became quiet.

Qi He's heart skipped a beat, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward. This sentence was both direct and ambiguous. It felt like a stalemate, but in another context, it took on an ambiguous quality, caught right on the fine line.

He asked the person for confirmation: "What's going on?"

At this moment, the supernatural power has completely disappeared.

But the words had already come out, and Yan Chuanbai didn't intend to hide them anymore. He put one hand on the steering wheel, rubbing his fingertips across the smooth leather, and asked:

"How do I compare to him?"

Qi He's heart wavered for a moment. There was no specific standard for this kind of comparison; it could only be judged by the weight they held in a person's heart. He hadn't interacted much with Guan Shang, but when it came to devoting more energy, it was naturally Yan Chuanbai who was the one most invested.

He said, “We are closer.”

He exhaled and suppressed his pent-up anger.

Yan Chuanbai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Yeah."

The topic was not continued.

Qi He thought about the conversation just now and said, "System, his recent words and actions are always unexpected."

The system casually said: [He who keeps company with bad people will be corrupted. ]

-

It was noon the next day when we returned to the base.

The bright sun shines under our feet.

Two figures were waiting at the entrance of the base. The car braked. Qi He got out of the car and saw You Tianxing smiling and stretching out his paw towards them. Guan Shangchun's wet eyes lit up beside him:

"You...are back."

Qi He nodded.

Bang! The driver's door slammed shut with a deafening roar. Yan Chuanbai got out of the car and looked over with a cold smile.

Guan Shangchun didn't even look at him, but said to Qi He, "It's only been four days, why does it feel like I haven't seen you for a long time?"

Qi He thought, "You lack training."

Guan Shangchun: “…”

Yan Chuanbai laughed unceremoniously.

Guan Shangchun regrouped and nodded in agreement, "I think so. I'll have to ask you to help me with special training."

A glance swept over.

Before Qi He could respond, someone beside him suddenly said to You Tianxing, "Make arrangements. We need to do a full-body test."

You Tianxing's smile twisted: "...you guys do it again?"

Guan Shangchun also paused for a moment, then asked with concern, "Qi Qi, are you feeling unwell?"

Qi He said, "It's nothing, just a routine checkup."

The person on the other side seemed to be relieved. You Tianxing looked back and forth, but did not ask on the spot: You have been out so many times before, how could you have done large-scale tests so frequently?

He turned around and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

…

Along the way, Yan Chuanbai told You Tianxing about the general situation of the handover, including the matter of hybrids.

"The plants have not been completely destroyed. They are left for you to test."

You Tianxing nodded: "Send it to the research laboratory at the cultivation base later, and the results should be out soon."

They returned to the institute.

Guan Shangchun was called away by the laboratory staff, and Qi He and Yan Chuanbai happened to go upstairs for a physical examination. The alarm of the plot did not sound, and Qi He had an estimate in his mind -

An hour later, the report was typed out on the spot.

Sure enough, both showed that all data were normal.

You Tianxing was at the door, holding the report: "Not only are you all fine, your mental strength has also been restored quite well."

Yan Chuanbai said casually: "Well, I was cured by Xiao Hai's nearly S-level ability."

"Ha...!" You Tianxing's smile cracked again, and the report card tightened. "Then why did you come here to test me? To test my endurance?"

They both: “…”

Qi He pressed the communicator and it made a beep. He picked it up and pretended to take a look. "Meng Yan is looking for me. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he left without any regrets.

Walking down the corridor, the system looked at You Tianxing, who was about to turn evil, and Yan Chuanbai, whose eyes were deep, behind him: [Guess what they are thinking now?]

Qi He refused to speculate: "I won't look back at the explosion."

-

Cultivation base, research laboratory.

This department is mainly responsible for biochemical research. When Qi He arrived, a group of researchers in white clothes were walking out.

Whether it was intentional or accidental, it was Meng Yan who tested the hybrids.

She saw Qi He and tilted her head in surprise: "I was looking for you."

Qi He followed her into the office, "What's the result?"

As soon as the door closed, Meng Yan sat down.

She showed Qi He the newly released report. "The plant was found to be slightly contaminated, with some degree of genetic fusion with external mutants. It's unlikely to cause infection to humans at this stage, but it's best to avoid further contact."

Qi He glanced at the report: Previous speculation was confirmed.

The system was stunned: [Why did you know for sure it wasn't a good thing at first sight?]

Qi He smiled lightly: "Because the two 'plot fragments' are contradictory."

He looked up at the office windowsill.

The pot of flowers continued to thrive under Meng Yan's care, and even more small pots were cut out and placed next to it.

After confirming that the flower's composition was ordinary, the only key point left was the structure.

So he asked Meng Yan to retest it, and the results came out quickly: it was a plant that had not been hybridized or watered by rain, and its tissue structure was close to the most primitive and natural state.

It’s something stable and harmless, but the plot doesn’t allow Yan Chuanbai to touch it.

The things he must come into contact with are most likely not good things.

He said, "So I pushed Yan Chuanbai away."

The system was ashamed: [I thought you were just too rebellious and just wanted to go against the plot.]

It was stunned again: "If he's not a good guy, why does he want to contact Yan Chuanbai? Isn't he the protagonist? I don't believe it. If something happens to the protagonist, how can the plot continue? Yan Chuanbai is so strong, he can survive even if there are hardships. 】

Qi He remained silent and lowered his eyes: "Maybe."

…

After confirming the results, he went back.

On the way back to the high-rise building from the cultivation base, Qi He had to pass by the research institute. As soon as he walked past the door, he saw a familiar figure walking out.

Yan Chuanbai was still in uniform, probably because he had just finished a meeting with the military.

He held the communicator in one hand and sent a message with his head down.

Feeling his gaze, he looked up.

When their eyes met, Qi He stopped where he was. Yan Chuanbai walked up to him and said:

"Just came back from Meng Yan's place?"

Qi He nodded, and the communicator in front of him beeped a few more times.

He lowered his eyes, "Is there something urgent?"

"It's okay." Yan Chuanbai curled his lips as the two of them walked towards the tall building. "It was a communication from Gong Lianyu. The person who was temporarily handing over to Base II was replaced by General Gong. He thanked me in a long speech for reuniting him and his son."

"?"

Qi He glanced sideways: "It means you did a good thing."

Yan Chuanbai remained calm and said, "It's just my character."

Qi He had no intention of exploring Gong Lianyu's family relationships, so he didn't ask any further questions and continued walking back with the others.

The sun was setting at this moment.

A streak of red-gold afterglow adorned the edge of the tall building's outer wall. In the dim sky, the shadow stretched out behind him.

Qi He looked up, his eyes squinting at the glare. After days of rushing around, he finally had a moment of peace...

Suddenly, a "beep!" sounded in my mind.

【System loading...】

【■■■Loading successfully■■■】

[The key plot will begin in 1 minute, please be prepared. ]

He paused: "..."

Yan Chuanbai beside him also stopped and looked at him.

The system choked and consoled: [At least, it's not as urgent as the previous two times.]

Qi He smiled coldly: "Yes, with a full minute to prepare, Yan Chuanbai is also within reach. He He, I am satisfied."

He added: "It's not a sneer, it's just self-proclaimed."

The system didn't dare to say anything, and silently threw out the script:

"After being imprisoned for disrupting the battlefield last time, you were finally released today. This time, you dare not disturb Yan Chuanbai again."

system:【……】

Qi He: “…”

He stared at Yan Chuanbai who was within his reach.

"You've already offended the two S-class warriors on the battlefield, and you kept your distance from them. But you're stubborn and this time you're planning to harm another S-class warrior—"

Yan Chuanbai was stared at by him and lowered his eyes: "...What's wrong?"

Qi He had no time to answer him: The three S-level ones that I used last time are of no use this time.

There was less than a minute left, he couldn't...

Just as I was thinking about it, there was another "beep!" sound suddenly coming from the side.

Gong Lianyu's messages kept popping up on Yan Chuanbai's communicator.

Qi He paused.

A gaze as warm as the spring breeze fell over.

The author has something to say:

Gong Lianyu (hair standing on end):?

Qi He: That’s great, there’s a new S-level in the blink of an eye.

Yan Chuanbai: Why does he look at me with such a “useless” look…
