Chapter 81

Ji Wenxue didn't say a word from beginning to end. She couldn't let go of what was in her heart. She was already brooding over the mistake she made back then, and now that she knew about her life experience, she felt as if she was floating in mid-air and suffering.

Despite everyone's concern, he just waved his hands and said, "I haven't had a good sleep these past few days. I'm probably too tired. I'm going to sleep all day when I get home!"

Yao Si laughed and cheered, "Okay, then I'll sleep all day too!"

Ji Wenxue smiled and suddenly looked into Wandi's eyes. Looking at those eyes, she felt inexplicably guilty and quickly pretended nothing had happened and looked away.

Ji Wenxue said she was so tired that she wanted to sleep for three days. After arriving at Tiqiu, she rested in the bedroom for a while and left immediately.

Ji Wenxue stood in front of the blood test machine, her mind blank, waiting for the results to come out, her heart finally hanging. Frowning for a long moment, she immediately began deleting the records and burning the test results, keeping them a secret.

Ji Wenxue did all this calmly, and after finishing, she took out the document and read it carefully. Things were already so bad, and no more misfortune seemed to make her more upset.

She didn't know her own life story, but this person's sudden appearance gave Ji Wenxue a clue. She didn't care about this so-called father, but she was very curious about her mother. The vague memories of her childhood would always come to her mind in the dead of night.

Ji Wenxue secretly searched for her mother while living her life as usual in front of everyone. Although she would definitely help her sisters if she told them, she didn't want to tell anyone yet.

However, her unwavering determination didn't bring good results, and Ji Wenxue soon encountered difficulties. Due to the passage of time, many materials and insiders had disappeared, and the inability to find any witnesses or physical evidence made Ji Wenxue anxious and worried.

In desperation, Ji Wenxue decided to secretly go to the prison to find the man. Although he was annoying, he must know something. After finally reaching the place, she learned that the man had been executed on the spot a few days ago.

Ji Wenxue sighed, regretting her decision. She had actually had this idea a long time ago, but she had been hesitant and procrastinating until now. If she had come a few days earlier, the outcome would have been very different.

Ji Wenxue, furious with herself, twisted her arm awkwardly. Completely absorbed in her emotions, she didn't notice the gaze from the shadows. Wandi watched Ji Wenxue from afar, listening to the staff's voices, and roughly guessed what was going on.

She lowered her head in thought for a moment, then walked towards Ji Wenxue. She had also paid attention to this matter a few days ago, but it was difficult to find people who knew the truth, and the information was deliberately whitewashed, so it was not easy to get to the truth.

"Sister Wandi? Why are you here too?" Ji Wenxue looked at the newcomer in surprise, and was worried that maybe she had accidentally revealed something in the past few days.

Wan Di looked into Ji Wenxue's eyes. "Don't overthink it. The result was the same a few days ago. When he was captured, the chip buried alive in his body activated. His mind gradually became unclear. He turned into a raving madman on the way. An hour later, he became a vegetable. He was already dead before he even reached the execution ground."

Ji Wenxue was surprised by what she heard, but after thinking about it, it made sense. The people in that base were already crazy, so anything they did was not surprising. However, Wandi knew so much about her affairs, not only knowing what she had been secretly doing these past few days, but even knowing her current mood.

"How do you know..."

Ji Wenxue was still curious.

Wandi just smiled and touched Ji Wenxue's hair. "It's not that there's something wrong with your disguise, it's probably because I know you too well."

Ji Wenxue smiled embarrassedly. She originally wanted to ask this question, but she was worried that she might be trying to hide something.

This matter was temporarily put on the back of our minds while we were dealing with the follow-up work of the base. We realized that in addition to humans, the animals and plants inside were also a big problem.

"The plants are fine, they have basically been transplanted successfully, and there are many people willing to contact us to take them away for care. But there are many types of animals, and many of them are ferocious. After being domesticated, they are unwilling to leave the cage even when the door is opened. It is difficult to release them freely, but it is also difficult to find adoptive owners." Jiang Zouwei said about the current situation.

Yao Si's face was wrinkled with worry. She had gone to see those animals and found that the beasts were so docile, yet their bodies were covered with wounds.

However, people are still afraid of large carnivores, and raising them requires huge investment. Moreover, if these animals are injured, the cost of treatment is also very high.

"How about bringing them to us temporarily?" Ying Zhao said and immediately shook her head, "But the number I can afford is limited, far from enough." Besides, she didn't have much experience in taking care of animals, and she would be busy with the research institute's affairs and probably wouldn't be able to take care of them.

Wandi sat in her seat, twirling her pen, still silent. Emotionally, she couldn't help but feel sympathy, but rationally, accepting the task without a care in the world was a completely different kind of irresponsibility.

When things got really tough, Yao Si slammed the table and stood up, "I'll do it!"

"You...what are you doing here?" Ji Wenxue looked up at Yao Si.

Yao Si looked at Wan Di with bright eyes, "I'll take charge. I've saved some money before..." Yao Si said passionately, making plans as she spoke, her eyes full of optimism and positivity.

Yao Si probably also had a talent for public speaking. After he spoke, the others were already infected by him and couldn't help but nod their heads.

Wan Di continued to spin the pen and looked at Yao Si calmly, "This isn't something you can just talk about. If you really want to do this, give me a plan within three days."

Yao Si patted her chest and agreed immediately. At the time, she thought it was no small matter. She had it all figured out in her mind: first, give the animals treatment, then take good care of them, and ideally, restore their nature.

However, when he started making the plan, Yao Si realized he had been overthinking it. Looking at the animals' profiles, he realized different species had different habits and living environments. With so many animals, some of them were part of the food chain. Raising so many would require a facility larger than an interstellar zoo. And then there were the subsequent food and maintenance...

Her savings were a drop in the bucket compared to this, no wonder Wandi had asked her to think it over carefully. Everyone was distressed, but no one stepped forward. This was simply a terrifying bottomless pit.

Yao Si let out a distressed cry and fell on the bed, his head feeling like it was about to explode.

In the past few days, Yao Si had been thinking while standing, sitting, lying down, and even brushing his teeth, hoping for inspiration. But three days had passed in a flash. When he went to see Wan Di, Yao Si, holding his pile of writing, knocked on the door with a desperate look.

"I can't think of it." Yao Si confessed as soon as the door opened. Wan Di didn't look surprised. She took Yao Si's copy with a smile and said, "Let me take a look first."

Yao Si looked at Wan Di and began to read. His dead heart came back to life temporarily and he became uneasy.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so confident. I should have found a few more plans in those few days. Even if the quality is not good, at least the quantity can make up for it! While Yao Si's mind was racing, Wan Di had already finished reading it.

Yao Si quickly came over and asked, "Is a little bit okay?" and made a gesture.

"Not at all." Wandi said bluntly.

Yao Si's face instantly turned bitter. Frustration was followed by worry. While this wasn't going to be any good, it was difficult. He needed someone with the right heart, not just the right skills. If he screened them like this, wouldn't there be anyone left? What about the animals?

"If only these animals were as simple as they are in the games."

Wan Di patted her chair and Yao Si sat on it.

“Although it’s not like a game, it’s still a good idea.”

"Huh?" Yao Si's eyes lit up. But he shook his head the next second, "But I still don't quite understand." Games, animals, how are the two connected?

Wandi swiped the screen and said, "The problem with animals is that they are unprofitable, but good and bad are interdependent, so there are solutions."

"These beasts have been tamed to be so obedient. This is both a bad thing and a good thing. The people at the base use this taming for evil, but we can also use it for good."

Yao Si felt that everything in front of her was suddenly clear, but she just looked at Wan Di excitedly and waited for her to continue speaking.

Wan Di looked into Yao Si's sparkling eyes, paused, and continued, "Don't you really want an army of your own? How about a beast army?"

"Okay!" Thousands of words could only be summed up in one word, Yao Si looked at Wanti and said firmly.

With Wanti's support and help, Yao Si immediately started to prepare. When she brought the animals back, Yao Si's face was full of smiles. She was determined with enthusiasm to let these animal friends dominate the world with her!

It was just a lot of difficulties to do. With Wandi's help, the venue was quickly arranged. The most important thing was getting along with the animals.

Yao Si didn't want to use a whip to make the animals obey her. She wanted to be friends with the animals, and then they could play and live happily together when nothing happened, and work together to face problems when something happened.

But these animals were obviously afraid of people, and their eyes were lifeless. Yao Si felt very distressed and wanted to find a solution quickly.

"What do you think we should do?" Yao Si asked Ji Wenxue.

Ji Wenxue also looked at the animals' condition. "It looks like they're really difficult to deal with. The wounds to the skin and flesh can be healed quickly with medicine. But even the habits of these animals have been changed..."

"Do you think there is anything that can erase this part of the memory of these animals? It's like a reboot." Yao Si speculated wildly.

"Ah, how could that thing..." Ji Wenxue was about to refute, but suddenly thought of Tunxing, "Hey, do you remember, Tunxing, that time after Sister Wandi gave Tunxing a blood transfusion, Tunxing shed his skin and his personality changed all of a sudden."

"But we can't give all these animals a blood transfusion and shed their skin, right?"
