Chapter 80 Entrustment

"This is mutant wheat and wheat seeds." Dr. Yu didn't notice Qiao Yu's expression as he lowered his head, and continued to explain to them: "This mutant wheat is the only edible mutant plant I have discovered so far. But unlike the wheat before the apocalypse, this mutant wheat can only eat bran."

The specific reason is still unknown. But he and his wife have experimented many times and found that only dried bran and wheat have no effect on the body, whether it is for aliens or ordinary people.

Dr. Yu speculated that it might be because the bran in the mutated wheat is poorly developed and absorbs fewer viruses from the soil, so it does not pose any harm to the human body.

Qiao Yu squeezed the object in his hand tightly, his eyes fixed on the expression on Dr. Yu's face, and asked in a low voice: "Dr. Yu, may I ask... do you know Professor Han Ming?"

"Han Ming?" Dr. Yu thought for a moment, then relaxed his brows and smiled faintly, "I know him. He's a student of an old friend of mine."

Qiao Yu clenched his hands, trying to sound normal. "So... Dr. Yu, Mr. Yu has already said he will take you back to the research institute in City H. Why do you still need us to send the research results to City G? Why don't you go there yourself?"

Dr. Yu did not hide it and explained sincerely: "Actually, I originally wanted Qingchuan to find a way to go to the research institute in City B."

"In City B, I have many old friends from the medical and botanical fields. Although I lost contact with them after the apocalypse and don't know if they survived, as long as they are still alive, they should all be in the research institute in City B."

"I want Qingchuan to try his luck. Because whoever among them takes over my notes and research can become the backbone of this research."

"But City B is too far away. And at this time, Qingchuan happened to meet you guys who were going to City G."

"Although I don't know many people in City G, before the apocalypse, its population and resources were greater than those of City B and City H. So, I imagine that after the apocalypse, the researchers and facilities there shouldn't be too bad. Instead of asking Qingchuan to look for my old friends whose survival remains unknown, I'd rather have you send the information directly to City G."

"As for me..." Mr. Yu took Madam Yu's hand and shook his head calmly, "Madam and I can't go back."

Their bodies have reached their limit after eating too many mutant plants for experiments.

Qiao Yu was startled. Suddenly, he remembered Cheng Sinian saying he saw Dr. Yu eating mutant plants...

She thought... she might know why the corners of Yu Qingchuan's eyes were red.

Qiao Yu clenched his hands tighter and tighter.

The survivor base where Han Ming was in his previous life was in City B.

And that madman Han Ming, in his previous life, gained the trust and love of the entire base, and even several bases, by cultivating this edible mutant wheat for humans!

At that time, everyone regarded him as a god.

Including Qiao Yu.

If it weren't for her love and trust for him, Qiao Yu would never have fallen into his trap, let alone been used by him, allowing Jiang Zhan to fall into his hands.

But if all this was a scam from the beginning...

In his previous life, Qiao Yu did not meet Dr. Yu.

If Dr. Yu had been in the same situation at the time, with no one available, he would most likely have followed his original plan and had Yu Qingchuan deliver the research data directly to City B.

Or even if he had people available at that time, would the place those people were going to happen to be City B?

And Han Ming's so-called research and cultivation results were actually stolen from Dr. Yu...

Han Ming is a complete liar.

He deceived everyone!

"Dr. Yu, you..." Luo Zhenzhen looked a little sad.

"It's okay." Dr. Yu smiled calmly. "We've lived to this age, and this day will come sooner or later."

He glanced at Yu Qingchuan, his eyes filled with pride and reluctance.

"I've already taught Qingchuan everything I should have, so I have no regrets."

Seeing this, Mrs. Yu, who had been silent all this time, gently shook Dr. Yu's hand and smiled tenderly, "I've been holding you back my whole life. I have no regrets at being able to help you in your final moments."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Yu's face darkened, and he gently chided her with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Nonsense! When have you ever held me back?"

Mrs. Yu smiled and said nothing more.

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a moment.

Dr. Yu patted his wife's hand and continued to look at Qiao Yu and the other three with a smile on his face, his eyes lingering on Cheng Sinian for an especially long time.

"Would you agree to my request?"

Qiao Yu clenched the things in his hand, took a deep breath, and looked very determined. "Dr. Yu, I can't give you any guarantees under the current circumstances, but I promise you that we will do our best to send Yu Qingchuan and these materials to the G City Research Institute intact!"

She promised Yu Qingchuan that she would help them.

More importantly, the information is in her hands. In this life, she will not give Han Ming any chance to hurt Jiang Zhan again.

Dr. Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He stood up and bowed deeply to Qiao Yu and the others. "Then I will thank you all here first."

"I don't deserve it!" Qiao Yu and the others immediately bowed in return. "Sir, you are so righteous. We are only trying our best to help you."

"Miss Qiao is too modest."

Seeing that the discussion was over, Dr. Yu supported himself on the edge of the kang and slowly stood up. "Then we won't disturb you anymore."

Cheng Sinian stepped forward, his face a little worried. "Dr. Yu, it's still raining heavily outside. Why don't we rest here tonight? We can just find a room somewhere else."

Seeing Cheng Sinian looking at her, Qiao Yu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Dr. Yu. If you and your wife don't mind, you can rest here tonight."

Dr. Yu smiled at Qiao Yu, walked over and patted Cheng Sinian on the shoulder, then shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness. But I want to go back to my original residence."

From beginning to end, Dr. Yu and Mrs. Yu had warm smiles on their faces.

When leaving, Dr. Yu insisted on not letting Yu Qingchuan carry Madam Yu anymore. Instead, he squatted down and slowly carried Madam Yu on his back.

When he stood up, Dr. Yu staggered slightly, but his first reaction was to hold Madam Yu tightly on his back.

Only after he had steadied himself did Dr. Yu, carrying Mrs. Yu on his back, walk tremblingly step by step into the rainstorm.

Yu Qingchuan was worried, but he couldn't be more stubborn than Dr. Yu, so he could only follow them from a distance.

Qiao Yu leaned against Jiang Zhan, watching the two overlapping figures moving further and further away in the rainstorm. She felt as if her heart had been struck hard by a stone and then weighed down heavily. A dull pain and a stuffy feeling.

Dr. Yu is thin and his shoulders are not broad. However, in this doomsday where everyone is in danger, he used his own life and his wife's life as a gamble to support the world for all people with such thin shoulders.

Dr. Yu dedicated his life to the people. If he had known that the fruits of his labor in a previous life had been stolen by a hypocritical villain, and even used by this despicable person to deceive and control the people...

How sad he must be.
