Chapter 096 Chapter 96 Gift
When Tang Ming came over, he heard what Qiong Jing said and asked, "Is it okay with just the few of you? Do you want to bring more people?"
He can't leave here now. He needs to stay here and stop these vines from moving towards the base.
Qiong Jing shook his head: "No need, just the few of us will be enough, and too many people will make too much noise."
Tang Ming nodded: "Get ready, I'll clear a path for you."
After the negotiations, Qiong Jing and his companions quickly got into the car and prepared to drive away.
This place is still a long distance away from the dense forest. It would take too much time to walk there, so we can only drive.
Soon, under the command of Tang Ming, everyone worked together to clear the blood vines around them, making a path for Li Yu and others.
Zhong Yiji drove the car and quickly passed through the blood vines.
But the movement could not be hidden from the blood vines at all, so that vines emerged from the ground one after another behind the car, trying to encircle the car.
Zhong Yiji drove very fast, dodging left and right to avoid the vines that emerged from the surroundings. Those vines were too long. Even though many of the vines were restrained by Tang Ming and others, many vines still emerged along the way to attack the car.
Zhong Yiji, who was driving, was tense and focused on driving, trying his best to avoid every attack from the vines.
The vehicle kept drifting left and right on the road, and sometimes it would turn in a circle to avoid vines.
Li Yu and Huang Jian in the car were not idle either. They opened the car windows and kept shooting at the attacking vines with their guns.
Bang, bang, bang sounds were heard, and bullets kept exploding on the vines.
The broken vine fell to the ground and quickly withered, but another vine quickly grew out.
"Why do I feel that these vines are moving faster?" Huang Jian was a little confused.
Yes, Qiong Jing also discovered that when the vines suddenly burst out just now, their speed suddenly increased from the initial slow speed, but now he doesn’t know what the specific situation is.
When the group arrived at the dense forest, there was an ongoing debate in the base's conference room.
The situation this time was obviously much more serious than the previous time when mutant beasts headed towards the base. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. After discussing for a long time, they were unable to come up with a specific set of rules.
At this time, there was a knock on the conference room door.
Wei Xunyi walked over and opened the door, and the visitor whispered something in his ear.
Wei Xunyi walked back and leaned over to tell An Qing the situation in her ear.
An Qing was a bit surprised and doubtful. She suppressed her inner panic and looked at the people who were looking at her. She felt her throat dry. "Everyone, the latest situation is that the blood vine may have become a big one. The blood vines currently heading towards the base are all the same blood vine, and the main body is probably still in the dense forest."
For a moment, the conference room was eerily silent.
The main body is still in the dense forest, but so many branches are almost reaching the base. What does this prove? The main body must be very large, for the branches to be so long and reach so far.
"Also, after testing, the potion that the base had previously developed to deal with the mutated blood vines has no effect on the current blood vines."
An Qing felt a little bitter. She really didn't expect that she would face such a difficult situation shortly after taking office.
If she had known this earlier, why would she have taken on such a position, why would she have been the base commander? She would have died sooner or later, and sitting in this position, she would have to bear the responsibility of the entire base.
"Base Commander, the blood vines have become so terrifying that the base may be lost. Should we evacuate early?"
An Qing looked at Jiang Fusheng, who was sitting silently at the side. "Dean Jiang, how is the Noah's Ark Project going now?"
More than 20 years ago, the base proposed the Noah's Ark Project and the Sky City Project.
These two plans were carried out simultaneously. Over the years, many research institutes have devoted themselves to these two plans. It was only after An Qing became the base director that he received the plans for Noah's Ark and Sky City.
But in fact, the Sky City is much more difficult to research than the Noah's Ark, so the Sky City project was shelved ten years ago and everyone was working on the Noah's Ark project.
Jiang Fusheng shook his head silently. "The plan is still not perfect. Even if we work overtime day and night, it will probably take another year before we can test fly it."
It will take a year before the test flight, which is too long.
Many of those who sat down again felt despair.
Someone couldn't help but stand up and say, "What the hell is going on in your lab? A project started over 20 years ago, and it's still not finished?"
Jiang Fusheng looked over coldly: "There are not many researchers in the laboratory, and we also need to research things needed for the base and various weapons. What do you want me to use to research and build Noah's Ark?"
There was a lack of information, few researchers, and not many people who could weld and cut to make the shell of Noah's Ark. Under such circumstances, it took more than 20 years to complete the project to the current level. Jiang Fusheng believed that the speed was already very fast. After all, what was being manufactured was not a car, nor a small aircraft.
"So what should we do now? In this critical moment, Noah's Ark is not ready yet. This is your dereliction of duty!"
"Don't say that. Dean Jiang hasn't been the director of the institute for very long. It's not his fault."
Seeing that the noise broke out again in the conference room, An Qing felt a little headache. She didn't know what Song Minguo's meetings were like in the past, but she felt that this conference room was no different from a noisy vegetable market.
She slammed the table hard, stood up, and said with a gloomy look: "What's the point of saying this now?"
For a moment, everyone was quiet.
"No, right?" An Qing gritted her teeth and said, "If not, then start arranging people to deal with the blood vines that may arrive at the base at any time. We have no way out now, we can only fight to the death!"
This meeting gave An Qing a headache.
After the meeting, she sat listlessly on the sofa in the office, staring blankly ahead.
"Base Commander, President Jiang is here." Wei Xunyi said.
An Qing rubbed her brows tiredly. Being the base commander was really tiring. She felt like she had aged more than ten years. "Let him in."
Wei Xunyi opened the door and Jiang Fusheng walked in.
The office door was closed. Jiang Fusheng walked to the opposite side of An Qing and looked at her tired face.
An Qing sat up straight: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Jiang Fusheng sat opposite her: "Base Commander, the fire of humanity must be preserved."
An Qing paused when she heard this familiar sentence. This sentence was the base's criterion. The original owner had heard this sentence since childhood. It was almost like brainwashing to the people in the base.
She looked at Jiang Fusheng, "So?"
Jiang Fusheng sighed: "In fact, Noah's Ark has been completed."
An Qing paused and looked up at Jiang Fusheng.
Jiang Fusheng: "After we started planning this project more than 20 years ago, we kept trying and failing, and finally decided to build a small Noah's Ark first to gain experience. Once we had enough experience, we would build a large one."
"A few years ago, a small Noah's Ark was completed and successfully tested. With the experience gained, we immediately started making a large Noah's Ark, but due to limited manpower and time, it has not yet been completed."
"The small Noah's Ark can't accommodate many people, so I told them that Noah's Ark is not yet complete."
An Qing already understood what he meant. "So, you mean to let those kids in the training camp get on Noah's Ark?"
Jiang Fusheng shook his head. "Noah's Ark can't hold so many children. So, I hope to move the sperm and egg banks from the Neonatal Cultivation Center to the base. Then some of the Neonatal Cultivation Center staff will also need to move up there. The research institute will also need to select some young, capable researchers, as well as some coaches for the training camp... Of course, we also need to select some talented children for the training camp."
An Qing pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She was panicked and confused.
She really wanted to ask, what about her?
But An Qing knew the answer without asking. As the base commander of the entire base, it was absolutely impossible for her to board that Noah's Ark.
That is something that preserves the human race, and as the base commander, she needs to advance and retreat with the entire base.
An Qing closed her eyes. Things were not that bad yet. She still had the system and the golden finger. The base would not necessarily be destroyed by the blood vine.
"I understand. This matter will be arranged by you and Wei Xunyi. Everything must be kept secret and cannot be discovered by anyone."
Wei Xunyi and Jiang Fusheng agreed.
After the two of them left, An Qing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
She sat on the sofa for a while before taking out two bottles of body-tempering spirit liquid from the system.
Looking at the body-tempering spiritual liquid in her hand, An Qing did not move. She first looked at her current happiness value.
I protected my parents' souls before, and then gave them the 001 entity. I also bought the body-tempering spirit liquid, refreshed the welfare shelves, and bought dice.
However, because her happiness points increased a lot during this period, she now has more than 80 million happiness points left.
You can refresh the welfare shelf four times and purchase goods four times.
An Qing could feel her hands trembling a little. People are always afraid when facing death.
“001.”
"Host."
An Qing and 001 spoke at the same time.
001 appeared on the coffee table in front of An Qing, looking at her worriedly.
An Qing paused: "What do you want to say?"
001 sat on the coffee table. "Didn't I say before that if I could possess a physical body, I would give you a gift?"
An Qing was stunned and recalled that 001 seemed to have said before that he would give her a gift, but she didn't take it seriously at the time and had forgotten about it.
Now that 001 mentioned it, she vaguely remembered it.
An Qing couldn't help but smile; "Really? Then what gift are you going to give me?"
Although she asked this, she didn't think 001 could give her any gifts. After being together for so long, An Qing really felt that although the system and 001 were somewhat connected, they were two separate individuals, and 001 really didn't have much use. Of course, it was still useful at certain times.
001 looked at An Qing and realized that she didn't take its gift seriously.
"Close your eyes first."
An Qing found it funny, and this was so mysterious.
But after 001's interruption, her previous nervousness and anxiety dissipated a lot. She cooperated and closed her eyes: "Okay, I'm closing them."
After 001 confirmed that An Qing had really closed her eyes, she opened her mouth. Something formed in her mouth, and then a bubble came out of her mouth. The bubble grew bigger and bigger, and the two figures inside also grew bigger as the bubble grew.
Finally, the bubble burst with a pop.
The two people walking together looked a little confused, and then their gazes slowly focused on An Qing.
"Qingqing——" A trembling, somewhat unbelievable voice called out excitedly and cautiously.
An Qing had her eyes closed and a smile on her lips. When she heard the familiar voice and the familiar name, the smile on her face froze. She kept her eyes closed and did not dare to open them.
