Chapter 47 The buff is full
The task of giving birth shocked Qi An and Tan Fu for a hundred years.
Qi An asked, "You're the chief purifier now, can't you refuse this kind of task?"
The mere word "refusal" made Lin Jiaran involuntarily furrow her brow.
They cannot refuse the mission.
Lin Jiaran felt that his biggest act of rebellion was to have the idea of not wanting to return to the base after the Mother Nest War.
She couldn't stop thinking about it, and she also couldn't stop the growing sense of guilt in her heart.
She felt guilty just thinking about not wanting to go back; refusing a mission would be even more terrifying!
Lin Jiaran shuddered at the thought of her loudly refusing the task.
I can't refuse, and refusing wouldn't help anyway.
It's true that she's the strongest among Lin Ran's clones, but there are plenty of people slightly weaker than her. Who can't be the chief?
Lin Jiaran lowered her head and ate a couple of mouthfuls of rice to suppress the panic in her heart.
Not only was she flustered, but she also felt inexplicably embarrassed in the shocked and confused eyes of the two people opposite her.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Qi An then placed a piece of braised pork on her plate: "This is quite delicious. Eat more."
The meat chunks were soft and warm, melting in the mouth, which improved Lin Jiaran's mood a little.
"It takes 10 months to give birth, and you can't do anything during those 10 months."
If this task isn't so urgent and doesn't require so many people, it probably won't be my turn so soon.
"Maybe it won't even be my turn, after all, I'm the strongest!" She raised her eyebrows sharply, her tone slightly playful.
Tan Fu remained silent, while Qi An smiled and nodded.
I was still eating, but for some reason the food tasted bland. Only the glow of the setting sun outside the window grew heavier and stronger.
After the meal, Qi An wanted to go out with Lin Jia Ran to return the dishes and chopsticks to the restaurant.
There are no disposable plastic lunch boxes in the apocalypse; they're such a luxury.
But just as I finished tidying up, someone knocked on the door outside the ward, and it wasn't just one group of people.
Qi An opened the door and saw Wen Yan, along with the two biologists in charge of her experimental project.
After reaching an agreement with Mao Anlin on the 12th, Qi An rested for two days and started getting busy again on the 14th.
Besides being busy with the war effort, she also cooperated with the research team to undergo several physical examinations such as CT scans and MRIs, and gave the research team a tube of bone marrow stem cells.
The two groups met at the door. Wen Yan apologized to the two researchers and came in first.
This person comes every day; she used to be Qi An's interrogator, but now she acts like her secretary.
After the agreement was reached that day, Wen Yan's task immediately shifted from a hardline approach to a more gentle one: to communicate with Qi An and Qi An and draft their security regulations and behavioral guidelines.
The main principles were the same few points Qi An had mentioned. The main points of discussion were the research on Qi An, the restraint on Tan Fu, their positions, and security arrangements.
The research department specially transferred experts from several biological laboratories to study Qi An's strangeness.
Tan Fu has a series of online blacklists.
The Cybersecurity Department has now been reorganized, and some personnel are now specifically responsible for strengthening firewalls.
Tan Fu may not go online unless absolutely necessary.
However, if necessary, and if there is a situation where it is necessary to activate "Weaver Girl", Tan Fude must abide by the ban and not go to those confidential domain addresses.
She also cannot connect her clone to the network without permission.
Qi An and Tan Fu were given the ranks of lieutenant colonel and major, respectively, and their treatment was based on those of the two.
As for the guards, Tan Fu arranged his guards the next day, a team of 5 people, working in two shifts, with one person always on night duty.
Arranging guards for Tan Fu was easy, but assigning guards for Qi An proved to be a challenge for the responsible unit.
She's too powerful. Unless you're an S-rank enhanced warrior, let alone a protector, it seems like no one is even worthy of fighting alongside her!
Tan Fu whispered to Qi An, "If you spread the word that you need guards, there will probably be a long line of people signing up."
This little girl knows too much; her face is expressionless, but her eyes are full of mockery!
Qi An glared at her, but if she absolutely had to have a guard, Chen Xi's image automatically popped into her mind.
He is truly the only choice to spend every day with him and fight side by side!
Besides Chen Xi, Qi An could only think of Wu Han.
This guy is just too good-looking, very pleasing to the eye, and being with him means she gets to touch different little animals every day...
But the two of them each had their own bases, and Qi An was just thinking about it.
Since the base was in a difficult situation, Qi An simply refused to have personal guards.
The final decision was that when she participated in combat, the main combat unit would arrange for guard duty, and when she traveled, the base would assign tasks to the long-distance special operations team.
At other times, Qi An was responsible for his own safety.
Qi An was quite satisfied.
Most of the details were agreed upon, and Wenyan's trip was to show them the house.
The tablet was opened, and detailed information on nearly 10 vacant homes was displayed on a single page.
"They are all located in the best residential areas of the base, and the residents are basically base officials and dignitaries, so the security is very comprehensive."
The houses are fully furnished, and the areas are all over 100 square meters...
Wen Yan scrolled through the meticulously crafted long image, feeling both envious and proud, confident that he would surely see a look of immense surprise in the eyes of the two girls!
But Qi An only glanced at it casually.
Tan Fu looked at it with great curiosity and care, but when it came to making her choice, she only said:
"I want the biggest and most spacious one. An'an will live next to me."
Qi An: "Then I'll have to live next to her."
The two finished their selections within five minutes. Wen Yan, somewhat dazed, picked up his tablet and went out.
No, this is an apartment in the capital base! It's his life's goal! Do these two really think it's so insignificant?
But Qi An kept in mind the captain's words: "Every situation is temporary." He didn't consider this place his home.
As for Tan Fu, as long as he lives on the ground and has free space, that's enough.
That day, she wore the clothes Qi An had given her and was very satisfied with her new look.
But when the little girl went out in her new clothes, she didn't feel much excitement for the blue sky, the morning breeze, or the bustling human world—these beautiful things she had never seen before.
She disliked the scorching sun and wasn't fond of the scent of flowers. Sitting on a park bench, she said to Qi An:
"Only in the data universe can I feel truly free."
"If only I could get rid of this physical body."
Qi An was speechless, recalling that in Tan Fu's spiritual world, everything was constructed from floating specks of light, including the people nearby and the distant mountains and seas of flowers.
There are all kinds of people in this world.
The little girl next to me, even though she had been imprisoned for several years and was finally able to walk among people, had lost interest in doing chores and managing her home.
After Wen Yan left, the two biologists came in.
The two men were of different ages; one was older and the other younger. The older man's surname was Shi.
Professor Shi's eyes were bloodshot, but his gaze was still bright and intense, almost too bright, making one worry that it might burst.
He sat on the sofa, leaning out to tap on the research report on his tablet:
"Lieutenant Colonel Qi, based on the CT scan results and detailed serum tests, we have confirmed that your kidney structure is different from that of ordinary people!"
The blood vessels in your kidney area are more dense than normal, and your renal tubular reabsorption rate and glomerular filtration function are more than 5 times that of normal people!
The levels of all detoxification enzymes in your liver cells are higher than normal.
Your antioxidant system is also very strong, which gives you the ability to detoxify quickly, fight fatigue and radiation, and quickly repair your own damage.
We also performed the most detailed whole-genome sequencing on you, and these abnormalities in your body are all reflected in the gene sequence.
For example, the CYP2D6 gene segment is copied, which gives you an extraordinary kidney metabolic rate.
Qi An listened attentively, nodding as he spoke.
These anomalies must have been detected back at Southeast Base 4, but she was too young then, and no one explained these findings to her in detail.
"Actually, having these traits isn't unusual. There are at least two ability users in the base who have anti-toxin constitutions, one of whom also has the same gene expression."
However, the reason that superhuman had that gene mutation was due to the insertion of a viral genome.
The anomaly in your case is that no viral insertion fragments can be found in your entire genome.
"Your mutation seems to be only explainable as a natural mutation," Professor Shi said after pausing for a breath.
These words sounded familiar, and Qi An responded with an "Oh."
She felt the next question from the other end would be: "You haven't been enhanced, so why do you have such high mental strength?"
But Professor Shi immediately added, "Your nervous system hasn't been strengthened; you may have been born with mental power."
Before the apocalypse, before the pandemic, researchers had already discovered that some people have a natural resistance to pollution.
Qi An straightened up slightly. She had heard about this from Teacher Tang, and she also suspected that she might be an individual born with spiritual power.
But the other person had the same doubts as her: "Natural benign genetic mutation, innate mental strength, natural immunity to the Kuroshio virus, each of these unique traits is one in a million. You have... stacked up all the rare buffs?"
The young man stole a glance at her, his face clearly showing disbelief.
Before the apocalypse, some people did have a natural resistance to pollution, but none were as resistant as Qi An, who was a woman who didn't even mutate when facing the White Priest!
Even if someone could stack up all the rare buffs, where did Qi An get his "mental comfort" ability?
