Chapter 89: Each side makes a concession (first update)
Fang Yuxin looked at Zheng Tianhe with disgust. She couldn't understand why there were always people in this world who liked to stand on the moral high ground and kidnap people at will with the righteousness. Zheng Tianhe kept saying that it was for the safety zone and for all mankind, as if if she didn't contribute herself obediently, she would be destroying the development of all mankind!
In the dream, Fang Mengyao used such righteousness to force them many times. She herself was selfish and cold-blooded, but she had to act as if "the world was difficult, she was forced to do this, and this was the only way to live safely." It was really disgusting!
Zheng Tianhe had always been flattered and lived a smooth life. He had not been treated so unreasonably for many years. So he said in a serious tone: "Miss Fang, I have to remind you that your attitude is a bit inappropriate!"
Seeing that he was still acting so arrogant and respectable, Fang Yuxin showed a hint of disgust and said, "You just want to know how I healed their wounds, right? I can tell you right now that wood-related abilities can promote wound healing. I asked them to take off their clothes to expose their wounds, and then used a knife to cut off the rotten skin and muscles near the wounds. Then I used wood-related abilities to help their wounds heal. It's that simple."
Zheng Tianhe was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He felt that Fang Yuxin was lying! He glanced at the two mercenaries who had just awakened, and then looked at Fang Yuxin with a smile: "Miss Fang is really a joker. I also heard that two ordinary people successfully awakened their superpowers with the help of Miss Fang. Are they the two of them?"
At this point, his eyes pierced the two people again. His eyes were sharp and cold, making them feel like they had become little white mice on the experimental table. The blood color on their faces faded away in an instant, leaving only pale faces, helpless as if they were about to collapse at any time.
Fang Yuxin coughed lightly to bring the two back to their senses, and then she looked at Zheng Tianhe with a half-smile: "Although I did heal their injuries, their awakening of superpowers was not because of me. Team Leader Zheng stayed in the laboratory day and night, and he must have done many related experiments. He must know much more about how to awaken superpowers than I do. If you insist that they awakened their superpowers because of me, then I have nothing to say. As the saying goes, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. No matter what I say, Team Leader Zheng will have a reason to refute me."
Qiu Yiming thought Fang Yuxin's words were very good, but he saw Zheng Tianhe's face getting uglier and uglier, and he was worried that Fang Yuxin had offended him. When the old man got angry, even he couldn't protect Fang Yuxin. So he said, "Team Leader Zheng, I think what Xinxin said is right. You are an expert in this field. If you can't crack the key to awakening superpowers, Xinxin will be even more helpless. As far as I know, anyone infected with the zombie virus may awaken to become a superpower. These two people were able to awaken because they were infected with the zombie virus, and it has nothing to do with Xinxin."
Zhou Yan also added: "Yes, Team Leader Zheng, I have asked the people who were present at the time. Miss Fang was indeed just helping them heal their wounds. The two of them were able to successfully awaken mainly because they were infected with the zombie virus. They were even just a little bit away from turning into zombies."
Zheng Tianhe knew that what they said was indeed reasonable. He had indeed done many experiments and knew a lot about the awakening of superpowers and the zombie virus. But in his heart, he felt that the awakening of the two was related to Fang Yuxin!
He wanted to detain Fang Yuxin and the other six people and send them to the laboratory for testing. However, thinking of Qiu Yiming and Zhou Yan's identities, he finally gave up this tempting idea and turned to the next best option: "It is Zheng who was not thoughtful enough. I hope you will not be offended. In addition, Zheng is really interested in Miss Fang's ability. I wonder if Miss Fang can let Zheng see it with her own eyes?"
Fang Yuxin was very dissatisfied with his persistent behavior. She was about to ask him how he was going to deal with it, but Fang Yuyang had already stretched out his hand. He spread out his right hand, palm facing up, and slashed it hard with the dagger. Blood immediately gushed out of the wound, stinging Fang Yuxin's eyes.
"Brother! What are you doing?" Fang Yuxin exclaimed, grabbed Fang Yuyang's hand, and injected spiritual energy into his wound repeatedly until the wound healed. She turned her head and glared at Zheng Tianhe and said, "Are you satisfied now, Team Leader Zheng?"
Zheng Tianhe was of course not satisfied! He had long known that wood-type superpowers had the ability to heal wounds, and what he cared about more was Fang Yuxin's wood-type superpower! He suspected that she was different from other wood-type superpowers and had a mutated wood-type superpower, so he especially hoped that Fang Yuxin could cooperate with his investigation, and it would be best if she could take the initiative to "sacrifice" and help him complete various experiments, rather than looking at her ability to heal wounds!
But he couldn't say this. Qiu Yiming and Zhou Yan had great reputation in the army. Even if he didn't have to be afraid of them, he had to consider the negative impact this incident would bring. He knew very well that the military was in need of people right now. If he offended those people with special abilities, it would be difficult to end this matter.
Moreover, Fang Yuxin's stern expression made him feel very uneasy. He instinctively knew that he must not let Fang Yuxin lose his temper, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
He made a final concession: "Please don't misunderstand me. I have no other intentions. I have absolutely no ill will towards you. After all, I am just like you, and I am working for the better survival of mankind. I will ask my assistant to collect your blood samples and send them for testing. I hope you will not refuse."
Fang Yuxin wanted to refuse, but Fang Yuyang held her hand, shook his head slightly, and told her not to be impulsive.
Not long after that, Zheng Tianhe's assistant came with tools to collect blood samples. He was very professional and quickly collected the blood samples, sealed them, and left the reception room.
As soon as he left, Fang Yuxin couldn't sit still anymore and asked impatiently: "Team Leader Zheng is a very busy man, I wonder if we can leave now?"
Zheng Tianhe knew that it was not the right time yet. Even though he was angry, he still forced a stiff smile on his face and said goodbye to everyone in a "kind" manner. He seemed to be trying hard to show his kind side, but the habit he had formed over the years was not something he could easily change. The stiff smile not only did not add any points to him, but made him look even more gloomy and strange, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike, which made people shudder.
After leaving the temporary research group, Zhou Yan said goodbye. He still had a lot of things to do and didn't have much free time. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang planned to go home first, and Qiu Yiming offered to take them back.
Fang Yuxin saw that Qiu Yiming had something to say, so she agreed. As expected, as soon as they got on the road, Qiu Yiming couldn't wait to say, "Xinxin, you were too impulsive today. Zheng Tianhe is not a good person, and his heart is smaller than a needle tip. Now that you have offended him, he will definitely not let it go."
Fang Yuxin didn't say anything, she knew Qiu Yiming had something else to say.
Sure enough, Qiu Yiming soon spoke again: "This guy is a scientific research madman. He can do anything for scientific research. Don't take the noble causes he talked about today seriously. For these 'righteous causes', psychics and zombies are just experimental subjects in his eyes!" When he said this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face, and he was obviously disdainful of Zheng Tianhe's behavior.
Fang Yuxin knew that everything he said was true, without any falsehood. She didn't say anything, but suddenly remembered something. In that dream, when she was still struggling at the bottom of society, she had heard some rumors about the secret research institute.
The current research group should be the predecessor of this institute. At that time, there were some rumors circulating secretly among the grassroots, saying that the secret military research institute had been using living people for inhumane experiments. These living people included not only ordinary people, but even people with special abilities!
Most of those ordinary people were deceived into entering. They had not been able to awaken their special powers in the apocalypse, and gradually they were at their wits' end. The military research institute had been secretly recruiting people, and these ordinary people could indeed get a considerable reward when they entered, but once they entered the institute, they would never be able to leave alive.
As the zombies become stronger and stronger, the top leaders have resorted to all means to develop a safe awakening method. After being tricked into entering, these ordinary people will be treated like guinea pigs. Researchers will conduct various experiments on them just to get better and more accurate data.
After the message gradually spread, it became difficult for the institute to recruit experimental subjects. So, they came up with a new idea, claiming that they had developed an awakening potion, but had not yet conducted clinical trials. This awakening potion was very expensive, and many ordinary people could not afford it in their lifetime.
At this time, the research institute deliberately released the news that all volunteers who voluntarily signed up would have a chance to take the awakening potion.
As soon as the news came out, all the ordinary people in the safe zone flocked to it, even Fang Yuxin at that time was no exception! She didn't want to be a burden to Fang Yuyang. After failing to absorb the Yuan Crystal, she had completely given up. However, the news from the research institute touched her most vulnerable and sensitive string.
So even though she knew it might be a trap, she still planned to give it a try without telling Fang Yuyang. Unfortunately, in the end, it didn't work, and she was stopped by Fang Yuyang.
At that time, Fang Yuyang didn't know where he got the information from, but he told her that it was a trap and woke her up with a slap in the face.
It was from that time that the brother and sister lost their good impression of the research institute.
Qiu Yiming saw that Fang Yuxin was distracted and angry. He couldn't help asking, "Xinxin, are you listening to me?"
This is the first update today. The next two updates will be later. The exact time is too uncertain. I have had stomach discomfort recently, so my mom woke me up early yesterday morning to go to the hospital for a checkup. As a result, I didn’t get enough sleep (I went to bed at 3:30 in the morning). When I was writing the manuscript last night, I was in a daze. It took me several hours to write one chapter. I really couldn’t hold on any longer. I can only get up today to write the rest. I have checked this chapter, but my mind is a bit dizzy. If there are any mistakes, please leave a message so that I can modify it.
