Chapter 52: Something happened at the Salesian Home!
Whenever Gu Jinsheng had time to go home, he would cook for Ji An. In the evening, he prepared four dishes and a soup: stir-fried bacon with beans and potatoes, stir-fried fresh mushrooms, stir-fried mutant beef, braised mutant chicken, and mutant pork bone and lotus root soup.
Ji An felt a little embarrassed. "You are so busy, and you finally come home to cook for me. I have never cooked for you. So far, I have only treated you to a Western meal."
Gu Jinsheng glanced at Ji An deeply, served him some rice, and said meaningfully, "You don't need to cook for me, as long as you allow me to cook for you for the rest of my life."
Ji An's heart began to panic. Of course, he would not stay chaste for a scumbag like Chen Chen, or never look for another man. It was just that he was not ready to start a new relationship. Others thought that he had only wasted a decade of love, but only he knew that it was a lifetime, a whole lifetime. When he was a ghost, he had experienced the whole lifetime of others.
Ji An felt that after experiencing such mental torture, he was already very strong in not having any resistance or disgust towards love.
"Then, did Zhou Qin tell you about it?" Ji An couldn't give a response, so he could only change the subject and said, "He seems to want to take over the orphanage and help out there in the future."
This topic was a bit heavy. Gu Jinsheng was silent for a while before saying, "He is a very hardworking and enterprising person. He shouldn't waste the rest of his life like this. Let's talk about this later."
"That's fine." Ji An said, "After all, his leg was broken not long ago, so there's no need to be in a hurry to resign so soon."
Gu Jinsheng said nothing, and talked about the task arrangement for tomorrow. "The exact location of the psychic zombie king has been locked again, and the situation of the zombie group has been investigated. I will lead the team to clear it out the day after tomorrow morning. Do you want to go?"
"I want to go!" Ji An was very interested in the spiritual zombie king. This was the first spiritual zombie king he encountered since the end of the world in his two lifetimes.
Ji An didn’t know whether a spiritual zombie king appeared after he died in his previous life.
Because he could only stay in Chen Chen and Tang Tang's bedroom, all sources of information were limited to these two people.
Tang Tang is not a career-oriented person, she only likes men. Chen Chen comes home every night to discuss with her about either romance or jealousy, who Tang Tang is close to today, who is pursuing her, and which powerful superpower she is flirting with. In short, no matter which of the above starts, the final ending is that the two of them end up in bed.
Ji An was bored listening to them, so he simply blocked them out and concentrated on researching in his brain. Naturally, he didn't know whether there was a psychic zombie king at this time in his previous life.
"Okay." In fact, Gu Jinsheng had already reserved a seat for Ji An. He knew that with Ji An's personality, he would go no matter what.
The next day, Ji An went to the laboratory as usual to do a day's experiment and got some clues. However, it was precisely because of this clue that Ji An fell into a deeper dilemma.
He is now like a traveler walking in the desert. Whenever he sees a lake in front of him, he rushes over desperately. When he reaches the place, he will find that everything is just a mirage.
This was the first time he encountered such a dilemma since he started his research.
Wu Youyang knew that Ji An was working on a new project and seemed to have encountered difficulties, so he sincerely comforted him, "Boss Ji, to be honest, it is normal for us researchers to be stuck in difficulties like you are now and not be able to find a breakthrough.
What you did before, you wanted to do something and you did it right away, that's not normal."
"Really?" Ji An answered casually, but Ji An knew that he was different. He had one more life than others. He had nothing to do in his previous life, and he almost ignored Chen Chen and Tang Tang in the second half of his life. He locked himself in his own spiritual realm every day, doing all kinds of deductions and calculations.
"Of course." Wu Youyang shrugged. "Boss Ji, to be honest, the cell tissue regeneration experiment you are doing now is quite inhumane. If you can do it right away like before, I might really think you are not a human being."
In fact, Wu Youyang believed that Ji An could carry out this experiment. Before the end of the world, there were no less than tens of thousands of such cell tissue regeneration experiment projects launched around the world, but even after the end of the world, nothing had been accomplished.
If someone else were to conduct this experiment and treat it as a main project that urgently needs to be solved, Wu Youyang would definitely advise him to change the project or to make this project a long-term side project.
However, the person in charge of this main project is a god-level boss who has made two things that are completely impossible: space storage props and nutrient supplements. Wu Youyang doesn't dare to give him any advice.
What if the big boss could have done it but gave up after listening to his persuasion, then he would become an eternal sinner in human history.
Ji An is a god, a different species from him!
"Are you scolding me?" Ji An knew that Wu Youyang was joking with him, so he didn't get angry, but instead joked back.
"No." Wu Youyang said: "You are God!"
"Hahaha..." Ji An laughed.
Wu Youyang also smiled and said, "Boss Ji, if you are a god, you must remember that I am your first believer. This position is equivalent to that of the eldest senior brother in the cultivation world. My status is different from others."
"Don't worry." Ji An said with a smile: "Didn't I give you the interview rights of our laboratory?"
Ji An originally wanted to interview them himself. In some ways, these were the first batch of researchers to enter his laboratory and they needed to be carefully screened.
But he really doesn't have time. Before that, there was the M country causing trouble, then there was the mutant crystal core, and recently a mental zombie king appeared and broke Zhou Qin's leg, so he started doing cell tissue regeneration experiments again.
And this experiment is really an illusion. He is just the monkey standing on the treetop trying to catch the moon. No matter what he does, he cannot catch the bright moon that is right in front of him.
The help Wu Youyang can give to Ji An is limited. In fact, in this experiment, the help anyone can give to Ji An is limited.
At most, I could help Ji An observe and record some data on cell regeneration and growth after a gecko or lizard's tail grows back after it breaks off its tail to survive.
But even with these simple data, Ji An didn't dare to give them to Wu Youyang and others to help him observe and record.
It's not that we don't trust them or are afraid that they won't do a good job. Wu Youyang and others are veteran researchers with decades of experimental experience. There will definitely be no problem with simply observing and recording experimental data.
Ji An was worried that they would miss out on something that seemed not so important to them. However, often the results of some scientific research projects do not lie in those complex difficulties, but in those simple little points.
No matter how tall a building is, it is built layer by layer. No matter how tall it appears, its main structure is actually the same.
Humans also look amazing, but ultimately they are made up of cells.
As long as we can thoroughly study one cell, we can uncover all the mysteries of the human body.
Therefore, the problem that Ji An is facing now is not to decipher the seemingly difficult structure of the human body, but to study the cells that seem to be the simplest but are actually the most complex.
Ji An had no ideas in his mind, so he gave up. He would never be able to finish the task. He had to go out on a mission at the base tomorrow, so he simply drove to the orphanage to take a look.
By the time he gets the crystal core of the psychic zombie, he is afraid that he won't have time to visit the children. He has to study two experiments at the same time and it will take him a long time to leave the laboratory.
As usual, Ji An bought things for the children worth a thousand credit points on the way to the orphanage.
The door of the Salesian Home was closed as usual, to prevent the children from running out on their own. It had always been like this. Ji An didn't take it seriously and continued to knock on the door. But after waiting for a long time, no one opened the door, so Ji An knew that there was probably no one in the Salesian Home.
This is nothing. There are children in the orphanage. They can't be locked up in the yard to study all day. Most likely, seeing Zhou Qin coming, Yuan Mingan took them out to collect folk songs and play at the same time.
It was impossible that no one would notice such a large group of children going out of the orphanage. Ji An planned to ask a nearby resident.
Just as he turned around, he saw an old lady next door leaning against the window and secretly watching him.
"Hello, grandma..." Ji An was about to ask her if she had seen where the people in the orphanage had gone, but when the old lady heard Ji An talking to her, she slammed the window shut and pulled up the curtains.
Ji An couldn't go up and talk to him, so he could only turn around and ask someone else.
Fortunately, a young woman next door did not dodge, but looked at Ji An curiously.
"Hello, ma'am." The woman in front of him seemed to be much older than Ji An, but in the apocalypse, facial features were the most inaccurate. Ji An didn't want to call someone old and make the people who helped him unhappy, so he chose this way of addressing that would not go wrong no matter what.
"Excuse me, have you seen where the children in this orphanage went?" Ji An asked.
The woman nodded, looking a little reserved. She pointed in a direction with her finger and said, "There seems to be a pre-apocalyptic park over there. I heard those kids say they were going there to collect folk songs. They should be going there."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." Ji An did not sense any supernatural fluctuations from the woman, so he took out a nutrient supplement for ordinary adults and placed it on the window. "This is a thank you gift. Thank you for telling me."
When Ji An put it down, the woman did not take it, but when Ji An turned around, the woman immediately took the nutrient supplement away, her movements were as fast as lightning.
Although the old lady next to him closed the window and drew the curtains, she was actually hiding behind the curtains, peeking through a gap to secretly observe Ji An.
So she saw and heard everything that happened to Ji An.
Seeing that there was something good to gain, the old lady didn't hide. She climbed out of the back window quickly. Her movements were so fast that it didn't seem like someone of her age at all. Her legs and feet were very nimble.
"Aiya, aiya, aiya!" The old lady didn't know what Ji An was calling, so she kept shouting. Ji An turned around and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The old lady immediately said, "You want to know where the motherless little beggar went? Let me tell you, they went to the park over there, led by an old lady and a disabled man with a broken leg."
After saying that, the old lady looked at Ji An expectantly.
Ji An knew what the old lady meant. She was asking for a benefit. Ji An didn't need one or two nutritional supplements. He was the manufacturer of these things and had plenty of them. But he wouldn't give them to the old lady. He didn't like people with her personality, which could be seen from his own behavior.
He doesn't force others to help others, but it's just a small favor, and it's no big deal to help. If you don't want to help, it's okay, no one forces her to help, but don't be jealous of the rewards others get for doing good things.
In fact, Ji An didn't give the woman the nutritional supplement for the old lady to see at first. It was just a habit he had developed since he was a child. He didn't like to owe favors to others, even if it was just a favor of a word.
Unexpectedly, it accidentally stimulated the old lady, which was also a pleasant surprise.
Ji An said: "I already know, someone told me, but thank you anyway."
The old lady asked in disbelief: "Is that all?"
"I've already said thank you." Ji An had nothing to be embarrassed about, and said as a matter of course: "Besides, you didn't help me, and thanking you is just out of courtesy."
The old lady curled her lips and said, "You are so stingy!"
Ji An nodded, "Thank you for the compliment."
These words made the old lady very angry, but Ji An didn't care about her and left in a good mood.
"Bang bang bang." Ji An had not taken a few steps when he heard the sound of the old lady pounding on the window. "Hurry up and take out the nutrient solution. Quickly, give it to me!" the old lady threatened viciously.
The little woman in the window didn't open the window or say anything, but the old lady refused to give in and continued to bang on the window.
Ji An stopped and looked back, just in time to meet the old lady's vicious eyes. The old lady was not ashamed, but glared at Ji An provocatively, pounding the window even harder, and even cursed in an obscene way: "You little bitch, hand over the things quickly. You seduce men every day, and those men are so bitchy, just..."
Ji An's face was cold. He was not a person who liked to bully others by relying on his supernatural powers. But this time, he raised his hand and a stream of mental power shot out from his fingers, hitting the half-open window glass of the old lady. With a crisp click, the window glass exploded, leaving fragments all over the floor.
Ji An was very skilled, and even though he smashed the window glass into pieces, he didn't hurt the old lady at all.
But even so, the old lady was so scared that she sat on the ground. She was no longer as ferocious as before, but collapsed into a ball of mud and trembled, "You can't kill me. You are not allowed to use superpowers in the base. You, you violated the base regulations, and the base will expel you."
"Really?" Ji An's smile was evil and terrifying. "Don't you know that the Salesian Home was founded by the base? And I am an insider of the base. You know, insiders have some privileges."
Of course, this is just a scare tactic. Gu Jinsheng's management is very strict, and he himself does not have any privileges.
The old lady didn’t know. She was so scared that her whole body was shaking. Then she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Ji An has psychic abilities, and although he doesn't know about other things, he can still tell whether the old lady is really dizzy or not. He ignored her and turned around to see the young woman standing by the window, looking at him with admiring eyes. Ji An nodded politely to the young woman and strode away.
Almost as soon as Ji An turned the corner, the old lady jumped up from the ground, and the young woman was so scared that she ran away from the window. The old lady saw it, but this time she didn't dare to curse again, for fear that Ji An had not walked far and would come back to settle the score with her after hearing it.
The old lady climbed back through the back window again, and as soon as she climbed in, she quickly closed the window, as if there were some monsters behind her. Even so, she did not forget to touch the broken window glass with heartache.
In order to make it easier to go out today and not be a drag, Zhou Qin came here in a wheelchair, and it turned out to be much faster.
The group soon arrived at the park. Now the park no longer had the green trees, green lawns, and gurgling streams it had before the end of the world. Instead, it only had dilapidated rockery, broken bridges, and withered flowers and willows.
However, this is already a beautiful scenic spot for children who have been wandering for many years. In the past, even if children passed by here on an empty stomach, they would walk in a hurry and have no time to play. Today, they can finally play happily.
The painting teacher said, "You can choose a place or a scene according to your own preferences, a flower or a grass, and then draw it. I will check it when we gather later."
"I understand, teacher." Little Rose answered loudly with the other children.
Yuan Mingan followed up and said, "Don't stray too far from the three of us. Play in this garden. At least play in pairs. If you encounter any problems, shout immediately."
"Okay." The children answered, with Little Stone's voice being the loudest.
"Remember, don't leave my and Teacher Zhou's sight." Yuan Ming'an emphasized again, "Disband now, and gather where you are when you hear the whistle!"
Yuan Mingan and Zhou Qin sat on the lawn with the widest view, from where they could almost see the entire park.
In fact, this park was much more desolate than it is now just the day before yesterday, and the weeds that had not been taken care of for a long time were half a person tall.
The painting teacher planned to take the children out for field research, so Zhou Qin got up early in the morning to prepare it.
Zhou Qin never dreamed that one day his wood-type ability would be used for cleaning, but the effect was quite good. One morning, although the park was not as brand new as a reconstruction, at least it was not like a large field. Sitting on the lawn, you can see the position of the children in the entire small park.
"Commander Zhou, will you take over the orphanage in the future?" Yuan Ming'an chatted with Zhou Qin while looking at the children.
Zhou Qin smiled and said, "Sister Yuan, from now on you can call me Zhou Qin, or Xiao Zhou. Don't call me Commander. We will probably be colleagues in the future, and my work focus will gradually shift here."
Yuan Ming'an did not ask about Zhou Qin's leg. Zhou Qin's status, interpersonal relationships and power were beyond her reach. If there was still a glimmer of hope, he would have been treated long ago.
"Little Rose! Mother Yuan, help, someone has taken Little Rose away! Wuuu wuuu..." Little Stone's voice suddenly rang out, full of panic, but after just one cry, only sobbing sounds remained.
When Zhou Qin and Yuan Ming'an looked up, they saw more than a dozen adult men arresting the children in the orphanage. Xiao Shitou, Xiao Meigui and a dozen other children were each held in the arms of an adult man with his mouth covered.
When they realized their whereabouts were exposed, they first launched supernatural attacks on Yuan Mingan and Zhou Qin, then turned around and ran away.
More than a dozen superpowers attacked at the same time, and the first one they used was a deadly move that was meant to take people's lives, which was fierce and cruel.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Zhou Qin and Yuan Mingan. Zhou Qin used his supernatural powers several times to break several attacks from the opponent.
He quickly used the "Jungle Dense" move, and the weeds and trees around the adult men immediately grew rapidly and twisted wildly, instantly forming a grass wall that blocked the men's escape route. At the same time, it wrapped around their ankles and pulled them down.
"Ah!" Xiao Shitou took the opportunity to bite the man who was holding him hard on the palm of his hand, causing the man to scream in pain and involuntarily let go of his hand that was holding Xiao Shitou.
Little Stone escaped and immediately ran towards Little Rose.
At this time, Yuan Mingan also screamed. It turned out that her level was not as high as the other party. The supernatural power hit her and shattered Yuan Mingan's counterattack, hitting her chest. Yuan Mingan screamed and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
At this time, the other two superpowers attacking her also approached one after another. If these three superpowers hit Yuan Mingan again, Yuan Mingan would probably die on the spot. Even if Fang Rurong was present, she could not save her.
Zhou Qin had no choice but to give up attacking the adults and turn to save Yuan Mingan. He had just shot down several super powers that were attacking Yuan Mingan when the painting teacher shouted for help and was also attacked. Zhou Qin immediately rescued them and set up a wooden cage around Yuan Mingan and the painting teacher, trapping them inside for protection.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qin relaxed his supernatural power attacks on several adult men, allowing them to seize the opportunity and escape.
"Mom Yuan, they escaped!" Little Stone kicked and punched the man holding Little Rose, but his strength was too weak. The man just used his supernatural power to knock Little Stone to the ground, causing him to roll over and over and spit out blood.
Yuan Ming'an was trapped in the four-sided wall formed by Zhou Qin's supernatural power. It was very safe, but he still couldn't see what was happening outside.
"Zhou Qin, Zhou Qin, take back your superpowers!" Hearing Xiao Shitou's cry, Yuan Mingan was anxious. She got up and didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She pounded the wall and shouted.
Yuan Mingan shouted many times, but Zhou Qin didn't answer. She couldn't see the situation outside, so she was very anxious and started to attack the wooden wall desperately.
A wooden wall may seem fragile, but once you really attack it, you'll find out how indestructible it is.
Yuan Ming'an attacked point by point again and again. He didn't know how long he had been attacking before he finally made a small hole.
Yuan Mingan quickly put his mouth in front of the small hole and shouted: "Zhou Qin, quickly put away your supernatural power and let me out!"
Zhou Qin seemed to have heard it this time and quickly retracted his supernatural power. Yuan Mingan ran out crawling, holding his chest. He saw Xiao Shitou, who had been beaten and fallen several times, crawling up with his mouth full of blood, and running in the direction those people left.
Yuan Mingan yelled, "Little Stone, come back quickly!"
When Xiao Shitou heard it, he looked back at Yuan Mingan, but did not stop and continued to chase him.
Yuan Mingan yelled and chased forward. Zhou Qin shouted, "Yuan Mingan, come back. I'll chase them. You can't beat them!"
Zhou Qin yelled and moved the wheelchair anxiously. He was not very experienced in using the wheelchair and the grass was uneven. After turning around twice, he fell to the ground with the wheelchair.
Yuan Mingan immediately said: "The children also need protection here. You have a high level of supernatural power, so you stay and protect the children in case they turn around and attack you. I will go after them!"
Zhou Qin, lying on the ground in a mess and unable to get up, could only pound the ground weakly, hating his own incompetence!
But Zhou Qin didn't have time to think about it. He immediately took out his cell phone and asked for help from the command center while lying down in a desperate position.
The battle happened suddenly. Zhou Qin had been fighting all the time, and only now did he have time to call for help. As for the painting teacher, she was just an ordinary person. It was difficult for ordinary people to survive in the apocalypse, and there was no such thing as a mobile phone.
"Teacher Zhou, let me help you up." The painting teacher ran over, helped move the wheelchair away from Zhou Qin, helped him up and sat back in the wheelchair.
The painting teacher finally had time to blow the whistle, which was urgent and sharp, and he shouted as he blew, "Children, gather here with Teacher Zhou, quickly! Now! Right away!"
As soon as Ji An reached the door, he heard an urgent whistle and the panicked shout of the painting teacher. He immediately realized that something had happened. He ran into the park and saw the children running towards Zhou Qin and the new painting teacher like frightened deer.
A few children seemed to be frightened and hid in the corner without moving.
Ji An had already run over and immediately asked, "Zhou Qin, what happened?"
Zhou Qin's eyes, which were filled with regret for his own incompetence, immediately brightened up when he saw Ji An. He grabbed Ji An's arm and said, "Go and save Yuan Mingan! Some superpowered human traffickers have captured Xiao Meigui and the others. Yuan Mingan has caught up with them, but she is no match for those superpowered people. Go and save them!"
Zhou Qin has never been a weak person waiting for others to rescue him, but has always been a strong person waited for by those in distress. At this moment, the powerlessness in his heart reached its peak and he felt extremely useless.
However, he did not indulge in his own sorrow, but explained the situation immediately.
"I'll chase him!" Ji An was about to chase in the direction Zhou Qin pointed, but just as he was about to run, he found that Zhou Qin had caught him again.
"What's wrong?" Ji An was anxious. Waiting for one more minute would mean one more minute of danger for Yuan Mingan and the children.
Zhou Qin said: "No, you can't go over there. We don't know how many people are in their base camp, and whether there are more powerful people with special abilities. If something happens to you over there, I will become the eternal sinner of the entire Xia country!
The boss will kill me!"
This is not an exaggeration, nor is it Gu Jinsheng's favoritism and abuse of power, but the value of Ji An himself!
Space storage props and nutrient supplements. It has only been less than a year since he arrived at the base, and he has already developed two new things that can be said to break through the dimensional barriers. There is still a long way to go in the future, and it is hard to say what more world-shocking research Ji An can come up with!
The value of Ji An far exceeds that of others and cannot be compared to that of a few children plus Yuan Mingan.
Many people may feel uncomfortable with this statement, and think that all lives are equal. All lives are equal, but Ji An's existence can save the lives of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people. This is not just Ji An's life being compared with Yuan Mingan's and several children's lives, but the lives of hundreds of millions of people being compared with Yuan Mingan's and several children's lives on the scale.
It is clear at a glance which is more important.
Zhou Qin continued: "I have already called for help, and reinforcements are on the way."
"No, we'll have to wait too long for reinforcements. Maybe the clues we could have found have been destroyed by passers-by."
Ji An firmly pushed Zhou Qin's hand away, "I have never been a flower in a greenhouse. Before coming to the Jingshi base, I lived by fighting to obtain supplies. Don't forget, even the laboratory was exchanged for my own combat supplies!"
"But..." Zhou Qin hesitated.
"No buts. If I don't save people today, and anything happens to anyone, my conscience will be uneasy. I will be trapped by my inner demons for the rest of my life. If I can't come up with a new research, I will be ruined!"
When Ji An said these words, his eyes were brighter than the midday sun. At this moment, the sun seemed to cover him with a halo of armor. He was a god sent from heaven. His beauty transcended gender, and his handsomeness was unmistakable!
Wherever the sword points, the four seas will be conquered!
Zhou Qin let go of him unconsciously. At this moment, Ji An seemed to have some kind of magic that made people believe in him and submit to him unconsciously!
