Chapter 64 Night Sneak Peek
Qi An was held by the little boy's clothes and had dinner at his house before he was finally able to get away after much persuasion.
When she got back to her place, it was already 8 p.m. She checked her messages and saw one of them, which made her raise an eyebrow.
Qi An immediately went to the guards and asked them for a fruit snack for the night.
The guards were very respectful and soon brought over the fruit, which was already cut and served on two large, eye-catching plates.
Qi An thanked him, shared half of the plate with Professor Shi and his apprentice, and ate the rest with the guards.
"You were amazing today, your purification..."
The guard team has its own purifier, and they didn't need Qi An's purification during the battle on the way here.
However, they witnessed the entire process of Qi An purifying Gao Ping Le during the day. The miraculous effect of bringing her back to life was truly astonishing!
Qi An then reached out to Ding Ze and said, "You can try it out."
Ding Ze was surprised and hesitated for a moment. His deputy captain couldn't wait and stepped over him to put his hand on Ding Ze's: "Let me do it! Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Qi!"
Qi An's purification naturally delighted the other side. Tonight, she was ruthless and generous, purifying an entire team, including the purifier.
After enjoying the delicious fruit and a mental massage, everyone left satisfied.
They were so satisfied that those not on night duty washed up quickly and went straight to sleep, while those on night duty leaned against the corridor or door frame and dozed off.
All was quiet. Qi An nestled in the blankets, feeling a little sleepy, his eyelids drooping.
As she was being hit, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her vision adjusted to the darkness for a moment before she saw someone in front of the bed.
It was like a ghost, without making a sound! Even though Qi An was mentally prepared, he was still startled.
However, she didn't make a sound, and after calming herself down, she gently lifted the blanket.
The man seemed a little lost, and turned his head in the darkness.
Qi An sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and waved to him.
The man immediately stepped forward and half-squatted down in front of Qi An.
The emergency indicator light in the corner, with its faint glow, cast a bright edge on the completely form-fitting invisibility cloak, outlining the leopard-like, long and graceful body.
As soon as he got close, he brought a burst of heat.
"Why did you have to come so late at night? Maybe we could meet openly tomorrow," Qi An said, leaning down in a very low voice.
Chen Xi's body trembled slightly, and she braced herself on the floor.
He paused for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I'd like to see you alone."
Qi An could see him, but the reason would definitely be to reunite with his comrades-in-arms on the Mother Nest battlefield.
He longed to see her alone, and the thought kept him up at night! He hadn't seen her for a year.
They were so close that their voices were almost intertwined. Qi An felt the heat was almost scorching, like a colorless fire burning from the boy's earlobe to her cheek.
She suddenly thought of Yang Yuning.
Being with Chen Xi seemed a little different from being with Yang Yuning. She didn't seem to be in such a hurry to avoid him, and even mischievously touched the boy's red ears and then reached out to touch his soft black hair.
When Chen Xi's ear was touched, he almost bounced up, but when the hand passed through his hair, he was frozen in place.
Sometimes a moment can feel like eternity.
But the next moment, one realizes that it is not permanent.
The starlight couldn't penetrate the curtains, but it seemed to be dancing and flowing in the dark room.
The boy unconsciously put his long arm on the edge of the bed, as if he were in Qi An's arms, or as if he were encircling Qi An.
His dark eyes seemed to be bursting with fireworks, yet covered by a layer of unfocused, hazy light.
“I want it to always be like this…” he murmured.
Qi An was slightly taken aback, then sat up straight and asked, "Have you made up your mind too?"
This "forever" might mean that they can spend a lot of time together.
Has Chen Xi also made up his mind to defect?
Lin Jiaran has made her decision. I told her yesterday: "I'll be moving into the lab on the 7th, and officially starting on the 9th..."
I went to the lab for a physical exam today, and they told me to eat according to their diet plan to prepare for pregnancy.
That's pretty normal, but that lab assistant was glued to me, and her smile was really disgusting.
His emotions were also inexplicable; he was very excited and expectant, and he emphasized several times that he wanted to try to conceive on the 9th.
Will he be observing the whole process, you know? I'm so pissed...
Lin Jiaran has even learned to swear.
I don't know why, but I never felt anything when I was seen doing everything before. Now, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. It must be because I've been spending too much time with you guys...
Time was limited, so Qi An had to interrupt her musings and get straight to the point:
Are you sure you have a chance to leave the base on the 4th?
Lin Jiaran: [Yes, Alliance No. 4 will send a team of purifiers to several satellite bases and also to make rounds at field hospitals in the suburbs.]
I was free until the 7th. The handover of my work was completed on the 5th, and I had already reserved a spot for myself on the clinic rounds on the 4th.
Qi An: [Have you prepared the itinerary and map for that day? I need the most detailed one.]
Lin Jiaran: [It's all organized, I'll send it to you.]
There were eight purifiers together, along with a guard team. But I usually like to bring food to share with everyone; that morning I brought a basket of fruit laced with medicine—enough to fill a whole truck!
Lin Jiaran's clone took over, and she was too young. Bringing food to her colleagues was somewhat of an attempt to curry favor and win them over.
Qi An frowned and asked, "[It's not safe. What if some guards haven't eaten, or have strong immunity?]"
An'an, haven't you experienced my emotional control before?
I'm even stronger now! When I unleash my power, I can instantly demoralize anyone within a 10-meter radius, to the point where they can't even pick up a gun, and even if they do, they'll only want to commit suicide!
"Okay," Qi An said. Perhaps Lin Jia Ran had shown her some leniency back then.
Lin Jiaran still had countless anxieties: "An'an, what if there's still an accident, what if someone still fires a gun and alerts the people in the ranch or farm, or worse, what if a guard reports the situation on the spot!"
My brain will explode!
Qi An: [That's why I'm asking you to provide the most detailed itinerary and map. Our people will be lying in ambush beforehand.]
Once you've escaped, immediately, without delay, find them, or locate the signal jammers they've planted beforehand!
Lin Jiaran: [Okay! But even if we block the signal, they'll still be in danger if they're pursued. This area within a hundred miles is our... the sphere of influence of the new recruit base!]
In the dark bedroom, Chen Xi was also discussing this issue: "He will not allow the clones to defect."
Chen Xi had a much easier time getting away than Lin Jiaran, as he was from the Long-Distance Team Headquarters and could come and go from the base anyway.
With his skills and superpowers, nothing can stop him except bombs.
However, Chen Xi also has a "golden headband" on her head, perhaps even heavier than Lin Jia Ran's.
Qi An heard from Lin Jiaran that he was a special existence among the clones and was very favored.
He began his missions at the age of 16 and remained loyal throughout. He still showed signs of struggle, but he had indeed made his decision.
Qi An pondered which reason outweighed the other: being forced to merge with the female clone more than once, making it difficult to refuse, and the desire to "keep it this way."
Qi An stared at the boy for two seconds, then quickly regained his composure and said, "We have an insurance policy."
Without this layer of insurance, she would never dare to let those people from the new base take such a big risk to come here.
Every friend's life is precious.
Yesterday, Qi An asked Lin Jia Ran: "You know who the culprit is who created you, controls you, and makes you endure these disgusting things, right?"
They were also eyeing her with lust, making her the culprit behind the girls' suffering!
After a moment, Lin Jiaran said, "It's...him."
She didn't even dare to mention her name!
But Qi An knew his name: "He is now called Li Bingzhu. He is the founder of the new student base and the person in charge behind the scenes."
He used to have a name called "Uncle Yu", but his real name is "Li Heng".
......
As the morning light streamed into the bedroom, a man with graying temples stood before the full-length mirror.
He looked at the person in the mirror, slightly taken aback.
He had a dream that night, a dream he hadn't had in a long time about things from the past.
"Li Heng!" It seemed someone was calling him that, the voice always sounding impatient.
