Under the pleas and cries of the crowd, Qi An "reluctantly" accepted the position of leader of Tomorrow's Base.
Perfect timing! Tomorrow Base and Aotian Base aren't far apart, so let's merge them and both be called Dongfang Bubai (Invincible East).
Ata, beaming with pride, asked, "Boss, didn't Ata do you a huge favor this time? How are you going to reward me?"
The water that can make crops grow instantly is not ordinary water, but the spiritual spring water in Zhang Yanyan's jade space bracelet.
Back then, Ata absorbed all the spiritual energy inside, and the spiritual spring water lost its effect, turning into a simple spatial bracelet.
Qi An threw the bracelet into the tower of Ata and then forgot about it, almost forgetting about it altogether.
They lay dormant in that world for decades, and several more years passed in Li Siting's world.
The bracelet originally needed hundreds of years to regenerate the spiritual spring, but it was restored after only a few decades of nurturing in the Chaos Tower, a supreme innate treasure.
It wasn't long ago that Dudu the cat rolled the bracelet around with its paws, and that's when they remembered that this thing existed.
Upon entering, it was discovered that the bracelet's internal space was many times larger than before.
There are high mountains, forests, fertile fields, and spiritual springs, and the spiritual energy is even more abundant than before.
Clearly, this spatial artifact has evolved, directly evolving into a small ecosystem.
Now, Boss Qi wasn't so disgusted with it anymore; at least it could be considered a treasure.
The fruit that Qi An distributed to the team members was spirit fruit that Ata picked directly from the fruit.
Having been nourished by spiritual energy for decades, they have been showing off too much lately, and their bodies have begun to change.
The team members have been complaining lately, wondering if they've mutated. They've suddenly become incredibly agile, with sharp hearing and eyesight, and their physical and mental states have undergone a qualitative leap.
The lingering ailments from my military service, including rheumatism, bone spurs, and cervical spondylosis, are all cured.
Even the little finger that was shot off one of the team members has grown new flesh.
In a post-apocalyptic world where food is scarce, is there any treasure more useful than a spatial bracelet?
Faced with the arrogant kid who wanted to take credit, Boss Qi was very easy to talk to: "What reward do you want?"
Ata answered without hesitation: "Candied hawthorn."
He looked down at his fingers sheepishly and said, "I've almost finished what I bought before. I'll buy more next time, boss."
"Granted."
"Hehe, thanks, boss."
"La la la, I'm cute little Tata, I love Monkey King and candied hawthorns the most, I eat and watch at the same time, Monkey King is still so handsome today..."
Qi An looked at the little brat with pity, who was excitedly doing somersaults and singing because he had promised to buy him candied hawthorns. He felt that he had ruined this innate treasure.
Qi An suspected that he had forgotten that he still needed to accumulate spiritual power to transform into human form.
Now I just lie around all day petting my cat, watching dramas, and eating snacks, watching her take revenge on scumbags, cause trouble, and kill people, while I stand by and cheer her on.
Oh, right, he also has to find time every day to praise his idol a hundred times.
This child is ruined.
Qi An had just formulated a series of rules of love and peace for the newly recruited residents of the base and was preparing to proceed with the next step of his plan when he suddenly received a distress signal from the bookworm.
"Sister Yaling, help me! Someone's trying to kill me! Come quick... Help me..."
Qi An: "..."
Just what I feared most came to pass.
I'm mentally exhausted.
After instructing the original person in charge of the base to continue managing it as he had instructed, Qi An turned around and disappeared from the spot.
Red Star Base.
Cheng Song sat slumped in his chair with a mournful face, looking at the food spilled all over the floor and the white mouse foaming at the mouth.
If he hadn't been so engrossed in his experiment that he forgot to eat and accidentally spilled his food, he would be lying on the floor belly up right now.
Since arriving at the Red Star Base, he has been working day and night to finish the potion as soon as possible so that this absurd apocalypse can end sooner.
But somehow, all sorts of "accidents" kept happening.
Several prominent figures or scientists would occasionally come to "inspect" his work, their words full of encouragement and high hopes.
But as soon as they left, either the experimental data was lost, or the experimental mice died inexplicably.
On one occasion, the potion was already half-made when something else came into it.
If it weren't for his meticulousness in checking every day, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After a bumpy road, it was finally almost over today, but the problem turned out to be his diet.
He was a bookworm obsessed with experimental research, but he wasn't stupid.
He knew that some people didn't want him to make the potion and didn't want to end this apocalypse, but he didn't expect that some people in the Red Star Base thought the same way.
Seeing that they could not stop him, they had already decided to kill him.
No, we can't stay here.
No matter how important the medicine is, it's not as important as his life.
He had just gotten up when the assistant assigned to him by the base came in.
This was a tall mutant who was both his assistant and his bodyguard, sent by the base to "protect" him.
He approached with a smile: "Doctor, where are you going? It's dangerous outside, let's stay in the lab."
His speech and demeanor were perfectly normal, as if he couldn't see the food on the ground or the dead white mouse.
Cheng Song twitched his lips: "I think this is the most dangerous place."
He walked towards the door, but his assistant grabbed his arm, his tone turning grim: "I advise you to listen to me, otherwise..."
Cheng Song's baby face contorted in pain, but he had endured it for many days. Now, his temper flared up, and he started cursing without a second thought:
"Otherwise, what the hell? Who gave you permission to talk to your father like that? Saving humanity is such a stupid thing, let whoever wants to do it do it, I'm not doing it."
Even a peerless genius has a temper, okay?
Bearing the hopes of all mankind, working from dawn till dusk, sacrificing countless brain cells, without receiving a single penny of salary, and still having their lives threatened.
What's he after?
The assistant was stunned by his words halfway through his threat, his mouth still agape.
Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Song grabbed a test tube from the workbench and poured the liquid into his assistant's mouth.
Do you really think he's a vegetarian?
In fact, he also developed a drug that could directly dissolve the heart of a mutant, thereby killing the mutant, but he didn't announce it.
Mutants die without a head, and they die without a heart.
"This potion needs a little time to take effect," Cheng Song said, shaking off his assistant and running towards the door, while clutching the amulet in his pocket and shouting loudly.
"Sister Yaling, help me! Someone's trying to kill me! Come quick!"
Sensing discomfort in his heart, the assistant's eyes turned bloodshot, and he drew the pistol from his waist and pulled the trigger on Cheng Song.
His unannounced mission was to prevent Dr. Cheng from leaving the lab and to prevent him from successfully developing the drug.
If it gets out of control, kill it immediately.
The bullet whistled towards Cheng Song's back, but just as it was about to hit him, a red light emanated from Cheng Song's body, blocking the bullet and causing it to bounce back.
The Ya Ling sister he had been longing for suddenly appeared in front of him. Cheng Song couldn't stop in time and tripped over his own feet, falling flat on his face.
Qi An chuckled, grabbed the bookworm by the collar, lifted him up, and teased:
"Wow, you're so excited to see me, you kowtowed so big right away."
