Chapter Seventy-One: The Situation Turns Around
Having been accustomed to the "black insect oil" business, Xiang Shiyang and his companion easily discovered Boss Qian's little secret, even without Qi An's keen perception of pollution.
It wasn't that Boss Qian trusted the unknown temporary worker too easily; rather, he was exposed and even blackmailed, leaving him no choice but to believe him!
......
Each base has farms and ranches.
Farms and ranches in large, fertile, and safe locations are mostly state-run, while privately contracted farms and ranches are located in remote and peripheral areas.
However, the Central Plains No. 3 Base is located in the not-so-fertile Northwest region. The base encourages private individuals to go out and reclaim land, so there are also large-scale private farms and ranches that have become quite successful.
Xinyuan Farm is one of them.
In a small, mixed residential area, a man with a protruding mouth and squinty eyes was replaced by his companion in a small room equipped with two computers.
"Finally, I can go back to the farm. Although it's convenient to buy anything at the base, the place is too damn small. I can't even stretch my legs out!" The squinting man breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's nothing else to hear. They're never in the lounge; it seems like they're always training," the man with the protruding mouth said to his replacement.
"Damn, what a cocky guy! Wants to be the base commander-in-chief?" the squinty-eyed man muttered, then chuckled after a moment's thought.
"Screw it! Based on what we've heard and the temper of our boss, why aren't we taking action?"
"If you don't have life, you can only become a ghost!"
After handing over their work, the two returned to the farm in the vegetable delivery truck.
But the smell inside the small truck was strange. The man with squinted eyes, his sense of smell heightened, sniffed hard, and muttered, "How much oil did this truck carry? If it weren't for connections, this truck would have been stopped long ago!"
......
Qi An became skilled at searching his memories and basically saw all of Wang Ming's past.
But this past completely disrupted her plans!
She had originally planned to find out from Wang Ming's memories when the two of them would go to the black market again.
She knew from Mr. Wang's memory that the unpurified gas canister in his kitchen was almost empty, but it could last for a few more days.
Xiang Shiyang spent all 400 contribution points in two days. Qi An guessed that he probably went to the black market that day to buy a gun, rather than to buy gas for Boss Wang.
She needed to know when Xiang and Wang would go to the black market again, and which route they usually took.
Qi An had scouted out a small path, and on that path stood an abandoned building, a place rarely visited at dawn.
She would ambush them with a sniper rifle, and when they passed by, she would give each of them a tranquilizer dart. Then she would drag them into the building, search their memories, and obtain Xiang Shiyang's email address, as well as the passwords to all the websites where she could set up timed posts.
She could use Xiang Shiyang's fingerprint to unlock his phone, then delete his emails, posts, messages, and even delete the person himself!
Qi An had already decided to kill Shi Yang the moment he revealed his purpose!
When the Southeast Base No. 4 was destroyed, she was protected by guards and taken to the top of the research building.
The helicopter rotors on the rooftop were already roaring, and Wu Liyan grabbed her hand and pulled her forcefully into the cabin.
She struggled desperately because she saw a pale, slender cricket crawling towards the roof.
Her struggles successfully bought her time, and the apprentice priest climbed up!
It caused a stir among the crowd, and like a gust of wind, it left the trajectory of the bullets behind and pounced on Qi An and Wu Liyan.
Qi An is fine, but Wu Liyan is undergoing a rapid transformation.
He screamed in panic, begging Qi An to purify him, but Qi An remained unmoved.
She thought that if she hadn't been unable to increase her pollution level at the time, she would have mutated amidst the burning city, the painful screams of humans, and the frenzied cries of the fallen insects.
She will become a corrupted insect and personally corrupt Wu Liyan!
Later, in the chaos, Qi An climbed down from the rooftop and, in the escape staircase, wondered what she should do next and where she should go.
Qi Wanquan found her.
At a time when everyone was fleeing for their lives, he actually came to find her!
Qi An didn't know what kind of feelings Qi Wanquan had for her—love? Or hate?
Was he risking his life to find his daughter, or the hope for humanity's future that he saw in her?
Qi An was moved again at that moment. Surrounded by chaos and death, she was only 12 years old. The malice and pleasure quickly faded, replaced by confusion and panic.
Qi Wanquan's arrival was like grasping a piece of driftwood, seeing a ray of light, so she followed him.
Then Qi Wanquan said he would take her to Southeast Base No. 2, where there were better scientists.
The light in Qi An's heart suddenly went out.
In that pitch-black night, in the cold forest, she once again refused purification, watching helplessly as her only remaining family member underwent a transformation.
She then picked up his gun and stumbled as she fled into the depths of the mountains.
Therefore, Qi An felt that no one would like the real her.
The real her, body and soul, is a monster!
But she herself accepted that she was a monster.
If anyone tries to humiliate her, bullying her like a big kid used to, she'll fight back! Even if she's badly injured, she'll fight back!
Qi An finished the purification.
As the purification ended, Wang Ming was still reeling from the bliss when Qi An pulled out his phone and quickly snapped a picture of Wang Ming's face.
He paused for a moment, then asked, somewhat bewildered, "What?"
Qi An said, "To identify you."
She turned and walked out of the alley, but after only a few steps, she was met by Xiang Shiyang, whose face was cold and gloomy.
Wang Mingjiu hadn't returned to the shop for a long time, and he discovered it.
Xiang Shiyang's anger was half directed at Wang Ming and half at Qi An. He strode over and reached out to grab Qi An by the neck!
However, Qi An's gun was pressed against Xiang Shiyang's abdomen.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot you." Qi An pulled back the bolt.
Like a docile rabbit suddenly baring its fangs, even though Xiang Shiyang had already realized that Qi An had been pretending all along, he was still taken aback.
"You fucking really want to get into the lab?" His tone was like a beast's roar!
"Which of us will become the test subject first?" Qi An asked softly.
"What are you talking about?" Xiang Shiyang asked, both angry and confused.
"What did you do at the original base?" Qi An stared at Xiang Shiyang: "Guess if I have a friend who is a high-ranking official in the Public Security Department and can contact the Public Security Department of the Central Plains No. 7 Base?"
I am indeed an experimental subject, but you are wanted criminals. If you report me, I will not die; I will be treasured by the base.
But if I reveal your past deeds, you will die. You will become a death row inmate, then a expendable experimental subject. You will die a gruesome death on the operating table even before I do!
