Chapter 114: Ignoring it might make him care more.
Winter seems to have passed in the past few days. The temperature is gradually rising, and the previously accumulated ice and snow have melted away completely without leaving any trace, as if they had never appeared and brought such a great disaster to mankind.
You can take off your thick coat when going out, and your body will be much lighter, but the bad news is that the mutants are also appearing more frequently.
Now we have to clean up the perimeter almost every day to ensure that those things do not cause damage to the safe zone.
But for Liang Nan, it was not a completely bad thing. She could get more crystals, and her supernatural powers finally broke through the previous bottleneck and made a qualitative leap.
At the same time, Liang Qun also received good news that the authorities have developed a vaccine against the mutant virus, which can greatly reduce the probability of ordinary people being infected.
It is still in the testing phase and will only be distributed in a few major official security zones for the time being. Once it is strengthened and stabilized, it should be circulated throughout the region.
This news is extremely good news for ordinary humans. Many people have not only died from attacks by mutants, but also from viral infections if they accidentally ingest blood contaminated by mutants or some poisonous water.
Although the vaccine is still in the early stages of research and development, it only increases the probability of survival and cannot completely eliminate viral infection. However, at least they have more hope of survival, and the future does not seem so bleak anymore.
And as long as we make a start, overcome the biggest hurdle, and find the right research direction, then the subsequent research progress will definitely accelerate, and a 100% cure vaccine will no longer be empty talk.
The official announcement of this news successfully inspired people. Ordinary people have not been abandoned by the world, and there are still people working hard for their survival, so they should not give up on themselves.
Jiang Jie was quite surprised when he got the news from Liang Qun. In his memory, the real breakthrough in the virus vaccine was at the beginning of the third year of the apocalypse.
At that time, the earth's population dropped sharply, and the number of ordinary people was almost less than that of people with special abilities. The whole world seemed to have really entered a survival of the fittest elimination mechanism.
The emergence of vaccines seems to no longer attract widespread attention, and humans are focusing more on the struggle for power and materials.
The attacks between the psychics were no less powerful than some heavy weapons, and every fight was like a large-scale destruction.
When everyone held "weapons" in their hands, the official deterrent power naturally declined significantly. At that time, there were several private security zones that could even compete with it.
When desire prevails, people care less about the lives of ordinary people. Most people with special abilities think that using increasingly scarce resources to study the survival rates of these people is a waste. It would be better to study how to strengthen their special abilities.
As a result, until Jiang Jie's death, there was no news about further vaccine reinforcements. Perhaps it was because supplies were difficult to maintain, or perhaps no one cared anymore.
At that time, Jiang Jie always felt that within a few years, humans would not necessarily perish in the end of the world, but would disappear in the destruction of each other.
He had not expected that in this life, an antibody vaccine against the virus had been developed so far in advance. Ordinary people still accounted for the majority of the population, and many relatives and friends of those with special abilities were here. Most of them were still fighting against alienated creatures, and the mood of unity against the outside world was still at a high stage. Therefore, the emergence of the vaccine was a symbol of hope for most people.
The direction of things might be different from before. Jiang Jie thinks this is also good. The world will disappear more slowly, and he and the little rabbit can go on for longer.
He just didn't expect that his rebirth would cause such a huge butterfly effect.
In addition to this, Jiang Jie personally received good news.
Cheng Yuefeng was injured when he led people out to clean up the alien objects. I heard that the injury was not light and one of his arms was almost broken.
When Jiang Yan heard the news Liang Nan brought him, his first reaction was that he was glad that he was not dead. He had to deal with this traitor personally.
My second reaction was, why wasn’t the arm really broken? What a pity.
"It's said they were besieged by three B-level mutants. Cheng Yuefeng was a bit too aggressive and got caught in the attack. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so badly injured. Luckily, Liu Yang pulled him up with vines, otherwise his arm would have been gone." Liang Nan told them a lot, then took a sip of water to moisten his throat before continuing, "He's usually quite calm in combat. I don't know what's wrong with him these past two days, but he's suddenly become aggressive. I told him that there's been an increase in B-level mutants recently, so he should be careful when traveling."
Jiang Yi tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the sofa and smiled when he heard the words. He was probably scared by himself before, so he wanted to collect crystals as soon as possible to increase his strength, especially since Liang Nan had recently broken through the bottleneck of superpowers, which further stimulated his emotions.
Unfortunately, the strength of supernatural powers is not determined by simply absorbing crystals. Talent is the most important factor.
There are also classes of strength among people with special abilities. Liang Nan belongs to the group with higher talent, so she can continue to improve.
As for Cheng Yuefeng, his abilities may be stronger than those of ordinary psychics, which is why he can become the captain, but that's all. In his previous life, he could only barely catch up with Liang Nan's current level.
Jiang Jie kept him by his side at that time simply because he was impressed by his smooth and capable way of dealing with things, and that he could help deal with a lot of troubles, because he himself was too lazy to deal with them.
Unexpectedly, this gave rise to his ambitions, and he was unwilling to be suppressed by me again. At the same time, he knew that he could not handle me, so he joined forces with several other people and took the opportunity to take his life when he was out dealing with the alien creatures.
But in the end Jiang Jie didn't let him have his wish and dragged them to hell together.
"Is he okay now?" Lin Mian saw that Jiang Jie didn't say anything, so he asked out of curiosity.
"I'm not dead," Liang Nan waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's just that the damage was too severe. The alien creature bit me, and all my bones were broken. I'll need to recuperate for a while."
A flesh and blood body would be seriously injured even if bitten by an ordinary wild beast, let alone those mutated monsters. This was considered a light injury. If Liu Yang had not rescued him in time, he might have been burned half to death by the flames of the mutated creatures.
"But this time, his leadership was ineffective, and his impulsive actions not only resulted in his own injuries, but also implicated his teammates. Two team leaders used this as an excuse to question his ability and came to me and my brother to 'impeach' him." Liang Nan glanced at Jiang Jie, cleared his throat briefly, and continued, "They even brought up the attacks on Liu Yang and Qi Shang. Their words implied that he was incompetent, unable to even protect his own men, and still haven't caught the culprit and given them an explanation."
Logically speaking, she and her brother, as the district chief and deputy district chief, also have certain responsibilities for this matter, but there are people who want to take advantage of his situation to kill him, so they push the blame onto him and bring him down first.
As for the culprit who has remained invisible until now, Liang Nan also learned about it from his brother. She glanced at the man who still looked as if it had nothing to do with him, and thought to herself that he was really good at pretending.
While she was thinking about it, the other person suddenly looked up at her. She shuddered, smiled dryly, and looked away. She said, "But he's still injured now, so many things are hard to discuss. My brother has a headache right now."
She has never been involved in such decision-making matters because her brain capacity simply doesn't allow it. Things that require force to resolve are more suitable for her.
"So you're leaving him to deal with it alone and coming here to slack off?" Lin Mian smiled at her and teased.
"How can this be called being lazy? I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule," Liang Nan refused to admit. "I've been cleaning up Altered Objects outside the district lately. It's been very time-consuming and laborious, so I'm just taking a break today."
"Oh~" Lin Mian stretched out the last syllable, and seeing that she was so self-righteous, he smiled again. It was actually quite good that she still had her brother by her side to help her deal with things.
Liang Nan took another sip of water to clear his throat and took the opportunity to change the subject, "How about it, Brother Jiang, is the news I brought you today considered good news?"
Since his brother said that the other party had a grudge against Cheng Yuefeng, she should feel very happy to hear that someone was injured. If it were her, she would definitely open champagne to celebrate overnight.
Jiang Jie glanced at her and raised his eyebrows, saying, "What does your district's internal disputes have to do with me?"
Liang Nan secretly sighed inwardly, knowing clearly that this was not what she was talking about. However, since the other party wanted to pretend, there was no point in asking further questions. No matter what the hatred or grudge was, she had no control over it and could not do anything about it. It would be better not to be so curious.
But she still wanted to see the excitement, so she said, "Brother Jiang, you are university alumni after all. Your junior is seriously injured, don't you want to go and see?"
Jiang Jie sneered at this, "You really are a competent district chief, caring so much about the personal relationships of your subordinates."
The tone of voice made it clear that she was mocking her for watching her subordinates having fun. Liang Nan raised her hand and touched her nose, feeling a little guilty. Anyway, the situation was definitely not going to be reversed. Instead of worrying, she might as well watch the show. She would definitely stand on the side of Jiang Jie and the others.
Putting her hand down, she continued, "So, are you going?"
Lin Mian also turned to look at the man. Isn't this another good opportunity to dance on the grave?
But to their surprise, Jiang Jie tilted his head, smiled, and said, "No."
"Ah?" Liang Nan was a little disappointed. She missed the excitement last time and thought she would have a chance this time.
Jiang Jie reached out and touched the back of Lin Mian's neck, gently rubbing the skin behind his ear. Whether it was positive or negative, sometimes paying too much attention would make the other person take himself too seriously. Ignoring him might make him care more and be more concerned.
