Chapter 145 World Five [3]

Jing Ke didn't care how the adjutant managed to get so many in-demand supplies in just one month. After confirming that the items sent by the other party were of qualified quality, she took a look at the wound on the adjutant's face.

"Purification potion, purified, can speed up the healing of wounds caused by zombies." Jing Ke took out something he had recently improved and handed a whole box to the adjutant.

"Thank you, Chief. Is there anything else you need?" The adjutant took it somewhat flattered.

According to previous rumors, the genius Jing Ke is extremely cold-blooded and ruthless to everyone. It is said that in her eyes, there is no difference between humans and zombies.

It was only because Bai Xiaohui persisted in persuading him every day that Jing Ke started to research various medicines for humans.

Anyone with a brain knows that such rumors must have been spread deliberately by someone to increase their prestige, but they were repeated too many times, and Jing Ke's few appearances were always with a cold face, which invisibly made the unreliable rumors become true.

"No, Bai Xiaohui, was he kicked out?" Jing Ke asked.

The adjutant shook his head. "Bai Xiaohui told the public that we coerced you, Director, and that we were the ones who deliberately spread the rumors about you and Bai Xiaohui being irreconcilable."

"Coercion?" Jing Ke couldn't help but wonder, "Where's the purification potion? Is he still selling it?"

The adjutant nodded. "Bai Xiaohui has a secret research institute under his command. The people there have average research capabilities, but with relevant information as a reference, they've developed a purification agent with similar ingredients."

The adjutant paused, "They're also offering the same price, but according to information we've gathered, the inferior purification agent they've developed has a shorter duration of effect, requiring the injured person to administer it within half an hour."

"Why? The price is the same, why would you choose inferior quality?" Jing Ke's doubts became more obvious.

The adjutant touched the wound on his face and smiled innocently, "I forgot to tell the director that Base One has been split into two. We are still in Base One, and the other side is the Glorious Base, which is led by Bai Xiaohui."

"Everyone who remains in Base One firmly believes that the general won't inject drugs just to gain strength. As for those in the Glorious Base across the way, they're all confused and foolish, fools who were fooled by Bai Xiaohui."

After mentioning the last half of the adjutant's sentence, Jing Ke couldn't help but feel like he was being shot at.

After all, among those deceived by Bai Xiaohui, there was his former self.

"They don't know that I'm staying here?" Jing Ke continued to ask.

The adjutant nodded, a look of disdain on his face. "They know, but Bai Xiaohui said we coerced you into staying in the institute, and that he would take you away one day. Plus, Bai Xiaohui said you'd already handed over all the relevant information to him, and that his institute could continue the research."

Bai Xiaohui is the best at making big promises, because he was the one who had been in contact with Jing Ke before, so when Jing Ke did not show up and make a public statement, his words could really fool a lot of people.

As for whether those people will react at some point, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Because Base No. 1 has been divided into two, even if someone reacts and sees through Bai Xiaohui's true face, they cannot drag their families to the other base when the relationship between the two sides is deadlocked or even in confrontation.

"I can come forward and clarify." Jing Ke said.

The adjutant shook his head. "If Bai Xiaohui insists that we coerced you, even if you make a public appearance, it will be twisted into a clarification under our control."

"Director, you don't have to worry about what's happening outside. Just stay in the institute and be at ease. As time goes by, the truth will surely come to light." said the adjutant.

"By the way, Director, can this purified medicine be mass-produced? If we can produce a medicine of better quality, there will be a steady stream of mutants joining us."

Jing Ke nodded first, then quickly shook her head, "Yes, but the cost is high and it's not cost-effective."

"I understand. I won't disturb the director's research then. Just let me know if you need anything." The adjutant didn't insist. He took the box of hard-earned medicine and left.

-

After taking out the necessary things, Jing Ke spent two days to prepare an evolution potion that had been improved countless times.

Before injecting Chu Ci, Jing Ke conducted experiments on ten mice and found that none of the mice mutated after the first round, so he conducted the second and third rounds.

Although one of the mice unfortunately turned into a monster in the third round, this result was much better than the first version of the evolution potion.

The original failure rate of 25% was directly reduced to more than 3%, which can be regarded as a huge improvement.

Just like the previous process, Jing Ke checked Chu Ci's physical indicators, and then injected the evolution potion into Chu Ci's blood vessels through the indwelling needle starting from the minimum dose, and then began to stare at the various data.

Chu Ci's eyes were wide open. She was used to being injected with drugs and did not feel any discomfort. She just watched Jing Ke's every move as usual.

After recording the data feedback from the instrument, Jing Ke, who was becoming more and more proficient in using her own supernatural powers, held Chu Ci's hand and read the thoughts in her mind.

I’m so bored. When I think about it, I don’t have the energy. Should I let Xiaolu out?

After reading the two words "Xiaolu", Jing Ke subconsciously glanced at Chu Ci's wrist, and as expected, she saw a green vine on her wrist.

Fortunately, Jing Ke has been trying to use her supernatural powers to influence Chu Ci's thoughts in the past month, and let her know that she cannot tie herself up with vines.

After making sure Chu Ci didn't feel any discomfort, Jing Ke increased the dosage an hour later.

After repeating this three times, it was night. Seeing Jing Pingping coming to pick her up, Jing Ke stopped what she was doing, covered Chu Ci with a light and warm duvet, and then followed Jing Pingping to the basement to sleep.

-

As expected, Jing Ke once again saw Chu Ci emitting a faint light in her dream.

Ever since the first time she met Chu Ci in her dream, Jing Ke had similar experiences every three to five days.

It’s just that the starting point of the dream has changed a little. From the beginning, it took twenty minutes of walking to see Chu Ci clearly, but now it only takes two steps to hold Chu Ci’s hand.

Chu Ci's mouth was still closed, but she could open her eyes easily without having to grope around to find Jing Ke who was chatting with her.

"Chu Ci, how do you feel? Are you comfortable?" Jing Ke skillfully held Chu Ci's hand, asking while reading her thoughts.

But this time was different from the previous times. Before Jing Ke could successfully read the other party's thoughts, he was knocked down by her.

Jing Ke, who was lying on the ground, showed a puzzled expression, and then she found that her hand was raised up and Chu Ci was bitten on the back.

In the dream, Jing Ke could feel that he was bitten, but he had no concept of pain.

After discovering that his hand was being used as a teething stick, Jing Ke slowly understood Chu Ci's thoughts.

If you bite me, I will bite you back.

What's going on? When did I bite Chu Ci?

Jing Ke couldn't help but have a question mark pop up in her head. When Chu Ci opened his mouth and started to pull off his clothes with his other hand, she finally realized it.

I seem to have really bitten Chu Ci.

It was on the day when Chu Ci brought herself to the laboratory. He took off Chu Ci's clothes, wiped her body with hot water, and then out of curiosity, he picked up her hand and bit it, and seemed to be grinding his teeth.

After realizing what was happening, Jing Ke couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face. He didn't bother to stop Chu Ci's actions. His first reaction was to write down this discovery.

Nearly forty days later, after being injected with the latest version of the drug, Chu Ci remembered what happened on the first day after her mutation, and with a hint of revenge, she repeated her experience on herself.

When Jing Ke got up from the ground, she realized that she was in a dream, not in a laboratory, and she couldn't take out a pen and paper to record this information.

Thinking of Jing Pingping who was still sleeping in the living room, Jing Ke gave up the idea of ​​going to the laboratory immediately and lay on the ground again, carefully observing what Chu Ci would do to him.

Although what happens in dreams is slightly related to reality, it has no effect on the real body.

It was precisely because of this that Jing Ke condoned Chu Ci's behavior. Even though she took off all her clothes and threw them aside, Jing Ke still looked like a helpless person.

But after taking off Jing Ke's clothes, Chu Ci sat there in a daze, and her doubts were successfully read by Jing Ke.

How to clean her? Where is the water? Where is the towel?

It turned out that she wanted to help wipe her body. Was Chu Ci taking revenge on her, or was she imitating what she had done to her?

Such a question popped up in Jing Ke's mind, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth began to rise slightly.

If it's imitation, it means Chuci is learning subconsciously, which is what young pups usually do, copying the actions of adults and making them their own.

Jing Ke was a little happy. Relying on the fact that she couldn't feel any pain in her dream, she sat up and touched Chu Ci's head.

"Do you want to sleep with me? Let's sleep." Jing Ke said, pointing to the ground.

Chu Ci tilted his head, and after blinking for the third time, he let go of Jing Ke's hand, quickly took off his clothes, and then lay down next to Jing Ke.

Imitate, learn, and obey.

Jing Ke was very satisfied with Chu Ci's changes. Even though she was held by a warm-blooded creature with a body temperature of only 30 degrees Celsius, it did not affect her ability to close her eyes and sleep like a nesting doll in her dreams.

-

On the other side, Chu Ci, who had fallen asleep in a dream, opened her eyes in reality. Her pupils were still blood red, but there was a hint of clarity inside.

Why am I here? What is this place?

A small question mark popped up in Chu Ci's head, then he lifted the quilt covering himself, got off the special bed, and relied on his excellent night vision to observe the surrounding situation.

Jing Ke collected all the sharp weapons in the laboratory, and those sophisticated instruments were also protected by customized equipment. Only Jing Ke had the right to use them.

Chu Ci walked around the laboratory barefoot for two laps, then sat back on the bed and began to control the vines growing from her wrist.

The vines spread from the bed to the ground at an extremely fast growth rate, and then began to add branches and trunks. In less than half an hour, the vines occupied the ground, walls and ceiling like ivy.

After using his ability, Chu Ci felt a little hungry.

Relying on his few memories, Chu Ci found a bunch of vacuum-packed snacks in an unlocked cabinet. Without even opening the plastic bags, he stuffed them directly into his mouth and took a big bite.

The fangs that had not been pulled out played a huge role and easily tore through the packaging bag.

Perhaps the taste of the packaging bag was so different from the food inside, so after chewing it, Chu Ci spit out the inedible bag and cleverly tore off the remaining packaging bag on the food with his hands.

How could a piece of dried meat be enough to replenish Chu Ci's energy? In just fifteen minutes, Chu Ci had eaten up all the meat snacks that Jing Ke had left in the laboratory.

After reluctantly finishing his meal, Chu Ci touched his stomach and lay back down on the bed.

Three minutes after lying down, Chu Ci pulled the duvet he had thrown aside over him and, like a hibernating human, let the quilt wrap around himself as he curled up into a ball.

-

This, what's going on?

Jing Ke opened the door and turned on the light, then was frightened by the green vines inside. Before her brain could function again, Jing Pingping protected Jing Ke behind her.

The guards following behind Jing Ke also looked inside with guns raised, their faces full of vigilance. "Captain, be careful! Someone from the Glorious Base might have sneaked in and wants to harm you!"

As the guard spoke, he led the way into the laboratory, trying to find the evolver who was hiding secretly.

"No need, I know what's going on. You guys go out. It's safe inside." Jing Ke said after reacting.

Jing Ke was very clear about the security level of the institute. If not even a mosquito could fly into the institute, then not even a wisp of dust could float into her laboratory unless she opened it herself.

"Director, do you know where these vines came from? Is this the result of your experiment?" After hearing Jing Ke's words, the two guards who led the charge turned around in unison.

"Okay, I know. Let's go, I'll handle it." Jing Ke said, walking past the guards and going in.

The two guards exchanged bewilderment. Their intuition told them that their director wasn't researching vines. But the director had already said she could handle it. If they continued, they wondered if she would be unhappy.

The two guards were unsure of what to do, so they simply looked at Jing Pingping, who had a very close relationship with Jing Ke, and sought her opinion with their eyes.

"You just need to guard outside, I'm inside." Jing Pingping also guessed a little and knew that the vines inside were related to Chu Ci.

So Jing Pingping chose to send the two guards away, and when she closed the laboratory door again, she quickly came to Jing Ke's side.

"Sister Pingping, Chu Ci is here, sleeping. Only humans can sleep like this." Jing Ke was very happy. He stepped on the vines, picked up his notebook, and waved his pen to record the extremely important discovery.

"Chief, you have to be careful. When we left yesterday, Chu Ci was sleeping on his back, not on his side." Jing Pingping reminded, her eyes fixed on Chu Ci on the bed, as if she would lose her mind and pounce on Jing Ke in the next second.

"Maybe the medicine I used is working." Jing Ke said as he recorded the situation. "The improved evolution potion I prepared yesterday was quite effective. Chu Ci's body must have been strengthened, so it's replacing the previous sedative at a faster rate."

Jing Pingping frowned, "Captain, your safety is the most important thing. I need you to increase the dosage of the tranquilizer to ensure that Chu Ci won't suddenly attack and hurt you."

"It's okay, Chu Ci is familiar with me. I'm here, it's okay." Jing Ke said.

In order to prove to Jing Pingping that Chu Ci would not hurt herself, Jing Ke ran to Chu Ci and reached out to hold Chu Ci's hand.

This action frightened Jing Pingping so much that she was about to activate her special ability and attack Chu Ci.

Jing Pingping breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chu Ci, who was shaken by her hand, just opened his eyes and looked at Jing Ke, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"Director, don't put yourself in danger next time. Mutated creatures cannot be understood by common sense. Chu Ci didn't become a complete monster because of his strong willpower, but Director, you must remember that Chu Ci could hurt you before he returned to normal." Jing Pingping said seriously.

Jing Ke nodded and looked at Jing Pingping eagerly, "Sister Pingping, I'm hungry, Chu Ci, I'm hungry, can you eat?"

After being stared at for a while, Jing Pingping quickly lost her temper.

"If the situation is not right, let the guards come in and deal with it immediately. Do not further provoke Chu Ci. Your safety is the most important thing. If you are injured, you are not allowed to come to the laboratory." After instructing Jing Ke for a while, Jing Pingping went to prepare food for the two of them.

Jing Pingping also recognized the remaining packaging bags on the ground. They were all the dried meats that she made for Jing Ke when she had time. Each portion was packed in this empty package and could be stored for a long time.

Forget it, at least when he was hungry, Chu Ci thought about eating snacks instead of rushing out and eating humans like a zombie.

-

After the laboratory door was closed again, Jing Ke began to examine Chu Ci's body with instruments with a little excitement. After discovering that she could detect an extremely slow and weak heartbeat, a bright smile appeared on her face.

That’s great. It seems that the medicine I improved yesterday is effective. I just need to control the dosage, and maybe Chu Ci can wake up.

Jing Ke was so happy that she didn't notice that the vines on the ground began to swirl around her shoes, looking like they were about to move.

However, the vines only looked like they were about to attack. After Chu Ci opened his eyes a little and discovered that Jing Ke was about to inject him with medicine, the vines became quiet again.

This potion can make you stronger, it's a good thing.

People who inject themselves with drugs want to make themselves stronger and are good people.

After simply making an equation in his mind, Chu Ci continued to pretend to sleep, waiting for Jing Ke to inject him with the improved version of the evolution potion, and then feed him food one bite at a time.
