Chapter 84 Ji An escaped and worried about the way out
Ji An disappeared from the spot in a flash. Gu Jinsheng looked around in confusion, wondering how Ji An in his dream suddenly disappeared without any warning.
I don't know when the Thunder Dragon flew back, and was destroying the protective shield with a lot of grunts. After so long, it finally made a small hole. The Thunder Dragon stuck its mouth into the hole and said gloatingly: "Hey, An An is gone, you scared An An away."
Gu Jinsheng rubbed his head and felt that the thunder dragon in his dream seemed even more annoying.
Suddenly, Gu Jinsheng, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes abruptly and woke up from his sleep. In the dark night, the eyes of the psychic can still see things. Gu Jinsheng looked at his empty bedroom with confusion in his eyes.
It is true that he likes Ji An and wants to be with Ji An as soon as possible, but he has never had such an offensive dream to Ji An before. Could it be that one of his supernatural powers was destroyed recently and his mental state has become increasingly unstable?
Gu Jinsheng rubbed his brows and was about to drink another glass of spiritual spring water when he suddenly discovered that his headache symptoms didn't seem so severe anymore, as if they had eased a lot. His mood also improved, and he no longer had that inexplicable feeling of irritability he had before.
Gu Jinsheng has been feeling a little anxious recently. He guessed that it was because his supernatural powers had been wasted, which led to his unstable mental state.
Regardless of whether it was a good thing that he got better suddenly today, it was also possible that the spiritual spring water had an effect. Gu Jinsheng drank a glass of spiritual spring water, lay down again, and soon fell asleep.
As for Ji An in the next room, he didn't even dare to breathe. He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he escaped from Gu Jinsheng's spiritual sea of consciousness.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave, Gu Jinsheng would...
Ji An gently patted his cheeks that were about to burn, and bit his lips, as if he could still feel the warmth of Gu Jinsheng's lips against his. He quickly let go, and his face burned even more.
I never expected that the commander-in-chief of the Beijing base, who always appears calm and steady, is actually such a repressed person behind the scenes.
The only thing Ji An was thankful for was that he entered Gu Jinsheng's spiritual realm just to ask about Gu Jinsheng's teeth marks and to find out the truth, not to pry into Gu Jinsheng's privacy.
So even though he entered Gu Jinsheng's spiritual realm, he did not open Gu Jinsheng's memories casually.
Otherwise, Ji An was afraid of seeing the erotic dreams that Gu Jinsheng had.
But at the same time, this made Ji An realize that there seemed to be some difference between Gu Jinsheng and his spiritual sea of consciousness and those of others. He couldn't tell exactly what the difference was for the time being.
Ji An was thinking and fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Ji An was awakened by a burst of fragrance. He got up and walked into the kitchen. Gu Jinsheng had already prepared breakfast, which was wonton noodles, a bowl of braised beef, stir-fried shredded tofu, and a pile of pickled mustard tubers.
When Ji An saw Gu Jinsheng, he couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and he didn't dare to look Gu Jinsheng in the eye.
But then he thought that Gu Jinsheng himself didn't know, and he thought it was a dream, so Ji An pretended to be calm and said casually: "Jinsheng, everyone says you are so busy, sleep more when you have time, don't do these things, your body can't take it."
Gu Jinsheng shook his head. "I feel much better now. I don't know if it's because I've been drinking the water you gave me recently, but when I woke up this morning, my head didn't hurt as much, and I didn't seem to be as anxious. I felt very relaxed."
Gu Jinsheng brought the wonton noodles to the table and said to Ji An, "Let's eat."
"Okay." Ji An agreed, but at the same time, he was thinking about what Gu Jinsheng said. Gu Jinsheng said that he was in a much more relaxed mental state, which reminded Ji An of the treacherous sea in Gu Jinsheng's mind. Could Gu Jinsheng's mental anxiety before be related to that sea?
If a person's spiritual realm can be visualized, then if he is a spiritually rich person, his spiritual world will be colorful, just like his and Gu Jinsheng's spiritual realm.
But if a person's spiritual realm has problems, it will also manifest in the spiritual realm. Just like when Gu Jinsheng lost one of his special abilities, his spiritual realm must have been damaged, and manifested in the spiritual realm, it became that strange sea.
And Ji An poured a lot of spiritual spring water into that sea area yesterday. Perhaps the spiritual spring water repaired that sea area. Gu Jinsheng felt a lot more relaxed.
Ji An thought about himself again. When his spiritual power was abolished, he looked at his spiritual realm. It was a desert with only a few drops of water. Now that he thought about it, maybe those drops of water were the spiritual power that had not been exhausted.
As for why his mental power was restored but he did not have the psychic crystal core, Ji An did not figure it out, but he intuitively felt that it was related to the spiritual spring water.
Perhaps his psychic ability had mutated and formed a new system. There was no way to verify this for the time being, so Ji An could only study it slowly.
"Xiao An, have you decided who to send?" Gu Jinsheng pulled Ji An out of his absent-minded thoughts.
"What? I was distracted by something I was thinking about?" Ji An said, "What did you say? Say it again."
Gu Jinsheng repeated, "Zhou Qin just contacted me and said that the commander-in-chief of the Haishi base is coming to treat his broken leg. He asked me to ask you, who do you plan to send to contact him?"
Ji An said, "I'll go. Wu Youyang, the teacher, his wife, and even Rong Fan have all been sent by me to give lectures at various hospitals. They are all so busy now that no one can spare the time. Why don't I go?"
Gu Jinsheng disagreed: "You'd better not show up."
"It doesn't matter. They don't know who I am anyway. As long as I don't tell them, they will think I'm just a nobody in charge of treatment, just like Wu Youyang and the others, who were sent there by someone."
Gu Jinsheng said: "Okay, that's fine, then you can come with me, and then I won't introduce you specifically, and they won't think too much about it."
"Can."
Ji An and Gu Jinsheng went directly to the command center and met the people from the Hai City base.
A total of seven people came to Haishi Base, one of whom was sitting in a wheelchair. He should be He Tao, the chief commander of Haishi Base who was injured in the battle.
When He Tao saw Gu Jinsheng, he immediately stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gu Jinsheng, and said at the same time: "Forgive me for being rude, I can't stand up now."
Gu Jinsheng said: "It doesn't matter."
He Tao said, "I saw the live broadcast of your base's deputy commander Zhou Qin on TV before. He said that you have something called a treatment cabin that can heal a broken leg without leaving any sequelae. I wonder if this is true."
"Of course." Gu Jinsheng said to the people around him, "Ask Commander Zhou to come over."
"yes."
Zhou Qin came very quickly and greeted He Tao with a smile as soon as he entered. It was obvious that they were familiar with each other.
He Tao looked at Zhou Qin's legs, his eyes full of excitement, "Commander Zhou, are your legs really healed?"
"It's healed." The weather has turned cooler recently, so Zhou Qin changed into long pants. He rolled them up to show He Tao his newly grown broken leg. To prove that this was not some new high-tech trick, Zhou Qin cut his leg so deep that the bone was visible.
He Tao became even more excited and nearly fell off his chair, but he said politely, "Commander Zhou, there's no need to be like this. I naturally believe you."
Zhou Qin waved his hand and said, "This little injury is nothing. I have healing fluid. Just apply a little bit and it will be fine."
As he spoke, he applied some healing liquid on his leg. Sure enough, the wound that was deep enough to see the bone healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's this again?" He Tao felt that when he arrived at the Jing City base, he, the commander-in-chief who had some experience, seemed to have become a bumpkin.
"This is the healing fluid in the treatment cabin. It can heal some minor injuries. If the injury is serious, you still need to go to the treatment cabin for treatment. The treatment cabin also has other auxiliary treatment methods, and the healing fluid is just one of them."
He Tao nodded, "I wonder if I can receive treatment now?"
Zhou Qin said: "I'm afraid it's not possible now."
He Tao said excitedly: "Supplies are not a problem. Although our Haishi base is a little poor, we still have some resources."
A long time ago, before the end of the world, the coastal cities near the sea were all very wealthy cities, and people could live very well living by the sea.
However, ever since Country R discharged nuclear wastewater into the sea, marine life began to mutate. Multi-headed, multi-horned, multi-eyed, and bizarre-looking marine monsters appeared one after another. People no longer dared to eat seafood, and cities near the sea began to decline. As a result, now, cities near the sea have changed from the richest cities to the poorest and most desolate cities.
He Tao, as the commander-in-chief, was so poor that he couldn't even get a space storage prop. The things he brought this time were brought by a psychic in a huge glass fish tank.
Several people carried a huge glass fish tank in. Ji An looked up and saw many fish in the tank, including koi, loaches, eels, and all kinds of fish. Another smaller fish tank was filled with marine life, including starfish, seahorses, corals, octopuses, crabs, sea cucumbers, etc.
"Are these aquatic creatures that have not been infected by the zombie virus and have not mutated?" Ji An asked excitedly, unable to contain his excitement.
He Tao thought that no one introduced Ji An and that he was just an ordinary staff member. He did not expect that Ji An, an ordinary staff member, would dare to ask questions first when both of his commanders were present and neither of them spoke.
However, seeing that the two commanders of the Jingshi base had no unusual expressions, He Tao did not show anything either. However, the person who answered the question changed from He Tao himself to the staff around him, "You can rest assured, we came with sincerity and will never deceive your base on such matters.
Moreover, to be more selfish, our commander-in-chief still needs to have his broken leg treated at your base. If you tamper with these aquatic products, your base will retaliate against our commander-in-chief by tampering with his treatment. We will have to make up for the loss and lose more than we gain.”
Ji An smiled and said, "Don't mind, I'm just asking casually. It's really rare to find aquatic creatures that haven't been infected by the zombie virus or mutated in the apocalypse."
"That's true." The staff at Haishi Base agreed.
He Tao looked at Gu Jinsheng and asked, "I don't know, is this enough to pay for my treatment?"
Ever since Ji An wanted uninfected and unmutated animals and plants, all of Ji An's overt and covert businesses could be paid for with uninfected and unmutated animals and plants.
Gu Jinsheng also opened a convenient door for Ji An, and the Jingshi base also began to collect uninfected and unmutated animals and plants.
Recently, many people who have come to serve the Jingshi Base can use uninfected and non-mutated animals and plants as supplies and choose their living location within the Jingshi Base.
Seeing that Ji An was very satisfied, Gu Jinsheng said, "If these are all uninfected and unmutated animals and plants, then that's enough. Of course, we still need to do a routine inspection."
"That's what I should do." He Tao had no idea about this. As long as it was a transaction, he needed to inspect the goods no matter who the other party was. Sometimes the other party didn't necessarily do it on purpose, but mistakes were inevitable.
"Then my leg can't be treated until the test results come out."
"Yes." said Gu Jinsheng.
Zhou Qin explained: "But we can collect samples for you to culture first, which will take one to two months. If the culture is successful, the test results here will be out long ago, and then you can be cured immediately. Don't worry, the healing time is very fast, just a few minutes. The slow part is the initial cultivation."
"Cultivate?" He Tao looked confused.
“Of course, we use purely medical means to treat it. Of course, we must first use medical means to cultivate complete bones that match the original body, otherwise how can we set the bones.
How can we guarantee that there will be no other sequelae after bone setting by using those unorthodox methods? "
Speaking of this, Zhou Qin thought of the commander-in-chief of the SHD base. He said, "You probably don't know that the commander-in-chief of the SHD base used cloning technology to create dozens of himself, and then artificially infected these clones with the zombie virus, just to get a clone with the same superpowers as himself and transplant his eyeballs.
But the problem is that even if the clone awakens the same superpowers, it still needs to be upgraded bit by bit. But he doesn't have the patience to wait, and every time he is almost there, he asks the doctor to give him a transplant.
How can a transplanted eyeball withstand the high-level supernatural power of the original body? It often breaks down."
The Haishi base is now a poor base and usually has no contact with these diplomatic circles, so it was stunned when it heard this.
"Of course I suspect that the commander-in-chief of the SHD base would do that because there is something wrong with his brain. It is very likely that his superpowers were enhanced by the crystal core of a superpower user, and he has developed mania, so he is acting upside down now."
The commander-in-chief of Haishi Base ate the melon with great relish. "Is HSD Base so poor? It can't even get a high-level psychic crystal core. How can it use psychic crystal cores?"
"That's not the case. They have plenty of crystal cores. Whether you want zombie crystal cores or mutant crystal cores through cloning, they have plenty.
I suspect that the abilities of the commander-in-chief of the HSD base may all be accumulated by zombie crystal cores. But we all know that zombie crystal cores are only an auxiliary means of promotion, and real promotion still depends on combat and training.
If you just keep stacking zombie crystal cores, energy will accumulate and resistance will form, and you will not be able to advance by using zombie crystal cores anymore.
But at this time you can use the mutant crystal core to impact. The mutant crystal core is not subject to this restriction. For promotion, it is much more useful than the zombie crystal core.
But don't worry, our artificial directed in vitro cultivation does not have those concerns at all. It is a pure medical method. It does not affect the superpowers and will not make the healer mentally ill.
For example, I have been cured for more than a month, and I have participated in several battles. My abilities are very smooth and my mental state is very stable. "
"I can see that." He Tao was almost full from eating so much melon.
Gu Jinsheng said: "If it is convenient for you now, I can collect specimens for you immediately."
“Convenient, convenient.”
"Okay then, notify the nearest hospital and ask them to arrange a sterile operating room. Tell them that the researcher representative will be collecting specimens from the patient. Anyone who wants to learn can watch, but the maximum number of people cannot exceed ten."
"good."
The hospital arranged things very quickly. Artificial in vitro targeted culture technology is now popular throughout the Beijing base. In this era where everything depends on healing with superpowers, it is hard to find a pure medical treatment method. Ordinary medical staff who have not awakened superpowers are going crazy and often fight for study places.
If Gu Jinsheng does not impose a limit on the number of people today, then all the medical staff in the entire hospital will have to be present, and by then I'm afraid there will be a bloody fight.
He Tao never thought that one day he would be treated as a typical patient and was watched by many people. He was a little nervous at first, but later he became indifferent.
He remembered seeing a joke online that said, "I'm not afraid of a group of students watching you, but I'm afraid of a group of bald old professors watching you." So basically, don't struggle, just eat whatever you should eat and drink whatever you should drink.
Thinking of this, He Tao became calm, and calmly accepted all kinds of learning looks, pointing and talking, and occasionally having students touch his hands.
After coming out of the operating room, He Tao felt that his skin had become thicker, and blushing and shyness would basically never happen to him again.
The Jingshi Base arranged accommodation for the people from the Haishi Base. However, for such a long time, the people from the Haishi Base could not stay in the reception room every day. They still had to come out for a walk when they had nothing to do.
After this stroll, the people in Haishi Base had their three perspectives shattered. This was truly the end of the world, not the pre-end of the world.
You can see all kinds of snack stalls and handicraft stalls everywhere on the street. The things they sold are similar to those before the end of the world, except that the variety may not be as rich.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are really many people stopping in front of these stalls to buy, and among them there are even some students.
Don’t ask the people at Haishi Base why they know these children are students, because they are wearing school uniforms.
"How many credit points are there for a scallion pancake?" a student asked.
"Forty credit points." said the stall owner.
He Tao didn't know how the credit points in Jingshi Base were calculated, but forty credit points was not a small amount. An ordinary person in their base only earned about two thousand credit points a month, and they were still racking their brains for this. The supply was insufficient to meet the demand. Even though prices in Jingshi Base were high, the salary of four thousand credit points was the limit, but a salary of four thousand was enough to support a family, and water had to be purchased from water-based psychics, which was a huge expense.
Then I heard the student say, "Why does it seem like the price has gone up?"
"Yes, business has been bad recently. People don't go out to buy food much anymore. They are all saving money for treatment. We can't sell anything here, and the cost there has increased, so ours has increased as well."
“Forget it, just give me one. I don’t eat it often anyway,” said the student.
He Tao couldn't help but ask the student, "Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your parents when you buy these flashy snacks that don't fill your stomach?"
The student looked at He Tao strangely, and then said: "Why would you hit me for such a small matter? Who eats this to fill their stomach? There are nutritional supplements, this is purely to satisfy your cravings!"
After that, he suddenly asked, "Are you from another base?"
He Tao nodded.
The student raised his head proudly, "No wonder. Our base is different from those bases outside. We have nutritional supplements here. Our residents only need four credit points to buy ordinary adult nutritional supplements. At this price, I don't need them now. The school provides nutritional supplements, and we students only need two credit points to buy one. Although we can't buy more, at least we can eat enough.
There is also the issue of tuition fees. Except for universities, all schools are free. They really are free, not a penny. You can go to school as long as you are of age.
Of course, this is a new initiative that the base has only recently launched. All students who have paid tuition before have had their tuition refunded.
I heard that the base made too much money from the treatment cabins, so they decided to implement some welfare policies.
So now I go to school not only for free, but also for money. After all, if I don't go to school, I still need to take nutritional supplements every day, which costs four credit points, but if I go to school, I only need two, and I can save two.
The credit points I saved were used as pocket money by my family every month.”
He Tao asked, "Don't you have money saved at home?"
They must save up all these in their base.
"Why do I need to save so few credit points?" The student said as a matter of course. "Although my parents are ordinary people, they both work in the factory. Last month, our whole family earned nearly 20,000 credit points. The factory provides them with free nutritional supplements for meals, so they don't need to spend any money, so all of them are saved."
He Tao was dumbfounded when he heard this. In their base, only mid-level psychics could earn this much credit point.
"How come your family makes so much money? Are they all superpowered?"
The student looked at him with a look of as if he was talking nonsense. "They say that ordinary people can earn this much, right? One of my classmates has a father who is a superpower. He can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. His father also got him a space storage prop. He brought it to school, and we were envious. I don't know if I can buy a space storage prop in my lifetime. I really want to have one."
He Tao enviously said, "I want one too."
The student asked: "Are you a new member of our base? Recently, many people have joined our base because of the nutrition supplements, treatment cabins and the welfare policies of our base? Because of your arrival, housing prices and commodity prices have risen. I heard that the base is preparing to expand, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate so many people.
Also, my parents’ overtime pay is not that much anymore. Many people go to work in factories, and the factories don’t want my parents to work overtime day and night anymore. Now they have to work in shifts.
But it’s okay this way, even if I can’t make that much money, my health is the most important thing.”
"Classmate, your pancake is ready."
The student took the pancake and said to He Tao, "I'm going home to do my homework. Bye."
He waved his hand, took the pancake, and walked home while chatting with his classmates, looking carefree.
This scene reminded He Tao of the time before the end of the world. People at that time lived a simple and happy life without having to worry about zombies or food.
The Jingshi base seems to have returned to the time before the end of the world. People here don’t have to worry about anything. Life is simple and happy!
He Tao's eyes turned red and tears flowed down his face unconsciously.
"Commander, why are you crying?"
"I suddenly remembered the happiness before the end of the world." He Tao asked, "When will the people in our base be able to live like this?"
Silence, no one responded.
He Tao suddenly sighed and said, "Let's hang out in the Jingshi Base during this time. If the Jingshi Base can really cure my leg and has a spirit of contract, let's join the Jingshi Base!"
"What, Commander, what about your position as the chief commander?"
"I am willing to trade my position as the commander-in-chief for the happy life of the residents of my base. Don't you want to go back to the days like this? The days before the apocalypse?"
How could I not think about it?
They thought so. But no one expected that He Tao would do this for the Haishi Base and even give up his position as the commander-in-chief just for the happiness of the residents of the base.
At this moment, everyone around him respected him, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. The people of Hai City will never forget your contribution."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all. I just want to have a good life."
Over there, Ji An explained to the medical staff for a long time before he was able to escape.
When he and Gu Jinsheng came out, it was already noon. Just as they were about to leave the hospital, they heard the complaining conversation between two psychics.
"I remember you have space-related abilities, right?"
"Yes, ever since we got the space storage item, we space-based psychics who are not good at fighting are no longer welcome. Many psychics are unwilling to team up with us to fight zombies, thinking that we are a burden! These people have completely forgotten how they begged us in the past!"
“With the recent opening of a treatment cabin, I’m also worried about the future of us healing-type psychics.
The healing cabin is omnipotent and can cure everything, even those that we healing psychics cannot. In a few years, everyone will have a healing cabin. What should we do if we healing psychics are not good at fighting? Should we go to factories and compete with ordinary people for job opportunities? "
