Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Shadow
There was a long silence.
Gu Yan: “…”
Jiang Xi: “.”
As if he finally realized what his fiancée was saying, Gu Yan stood up excitedly.
"You're kidding me!"
"It must be like this, it's impossible, how can this be possible!"
He grabbed his hair hard, his expression painful.
The reason why Jiang Qian told him the truth was because she considered that as the master of the North District, Gu Yan would know about this matter sooner or later.
After all, her name appears quite frequently in Lu Suxing's notes.
As long as Meng Daogan mentioned it casually when he came to report, her identity would be exposed.
“Wife!!”
Gu Yan grabbed Jiang Xi's hand again, but when he saw her cold expression, he changed his tone, "Little Jiang Bao!"
"So you lived in the Paradise Guild before?"
He asked cautiously, "Is it in the human survivor area..."
If that was the case, then things might not be as bad as he imagined.
He had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but Jiang Qian ruthlessly shattered his hope.
"At Lu Suye's house."
“Ahhhh!!”
Gu Yan collapsed.
"How could you break our vows? You are my fiancée, how could you be with another man—"
"Should I die then?" Jiang Qian was surprisingly calm when she recalled the unbearable past. "If it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago."
She might not die if bitten by a zombie, but if she falls into the hands of the same kind, she will live a life worse than death.
Of course, there would be no chance of meeting Gu Yan.
“No…no!”
After hearing what Jiang Ting said, Gu Yan finally calmed down from his rage and jealousy. He hugged Jiang Ting in panic and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
It was because he failed to find her and protect her that she fell into Lu Suye's clutches.
It was a blessing from God that he could still see her now, so why was he still blaming her?
As for why Jiang Qian ran away later and how she was infected with the virus, he no longer dared to ask or mention the matter of the Paradise Guild.
This kind of behavior is really shooting oneself in the foot.
Every failure makes you wiser. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
Xiao Liang did a great job in this regard.
When Meng Daogan injected Jiang Ying with medicine, he stood by silently.
She was still the same as before, afraid of blood draws and injections, and needed him to hold her.
Lu Suxing's notes have been decoded. Although there are many novel studies that Meng Daogan and others have never seen, the content related to the chairman is undoubtedly the top priority.
Lu Suxing injected it into her body, saying it was an awakening potion tailor-made for her. However, after Jiang Qian sent it for testing, it was discovered that it was actually a bottle of saline solution.
Now, Jiang Qian finally knew what it was.
“…”This guy.
Jiang Qian endured it for a moment and didn't curse out loud.
Forget it, the dead are greater.
Sure enough, as Jingcheng said, ordinary biological companies may not be able to detect certain hidden ingredients. The substances mixed in this bottle of saline solution were all clearly described in Lu Suxing's notes.
However, the results were contrary to the goal.
This wasn't a potion that awakened her special abilities or stimulated her body's potential. Quite the opposite, it was like locking Jiang Qian's body...
In other words, it was preventing Jiang Ting from awakening her superpowers.
However, since it is a medicine, there will always be a day when it expires and becomes ineffective. As long as it cannot fundamentally change Jiang Xi's physique, then one day she will be able to break through her potential.
But it will be much later.
After understanding the principle, Meng Daogan chose the method of drug neutralization, allowing Jiang Ying to accelerate the burning of the lock in her body and metabolize the remaining drugs.
Most medicines are not very effective for Jiang Xi because of her special constitution.
Lu Suxing had previously analyzed her blood and obtained a large number of experimental samples, so he was able to make this lock for her.
In that case, she should be able to possess superpowers soon?
This is what Meng Daogan meant.
But now, Jiang Qian no longer had to worry about survival, but she owned many of the most hardcore industries in the apocalypse. With Xiao Liang and Gu Yan by her side, supernatural powers were no longer that important to her, and could even be considered just the icing on the cake...
No matter how powerful her awakened superpowers are, can they be more powerful than Xiao Liang?
She couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
Meng Daogan agreed on the next time he would come to check on her. Before leaving, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Jiang Xi saw the embarrassment in his expression and told him to speak frankly.
So Meng Daogan explained the whole story. They hoped to obtain some of Jiang Ting's blood and tissue for research.
In essence, what they have to do is the same thing as Lu Suxing.
But Jiang Qian is no longer the same person she used to be. She is the chairman of all of them, and her status is far superior to theirs, so it is too difficult to open her mouth.
After thinking about it, Jiang Ying agreed.
She defeated the zombie virus and returned to her normal appearance. Perhaps the medicine developed using her blood can also bring hope of rebirth to other ordinary people who are suffering from the zombie virus?
With the bodhisattva's heart to save all living beings and cure diseases, Jiang Xi agreed.
As for Meng Daogan, although he has a humble attitude, he will show no mercy when he takes action.
Jiang Xi: “…”
Fainted from the convulsions.
She fell into a coma due to blood loss, but even when she fell asleep, her arms were still tightly wrapped around Xiao Liang's arms.
Xiao Liang had no choice but to lie down beside her and sleep with her.
Gu Yan happened to come over and saw them cuddling intimately.
In the past, Gu Yan would probably be furious and rush in to argue with him.
But when he heard the difficult past hidden under Jiang Xi's calm narration, he immediately lost his temper.
What right did he have to be angry with her?
It's all his fault that things turned out like this!
It was his fault for insisting on carrying out that rubbish plan and ignoring her, which led to the loss of contact.
It was he who pushed her towards another man.
Outside the door, Gu Yan was wiping his tears alone. He secretly swore that in the days to come, he would be good to her, and be doubly good to her!
He decided to devote himself to the career of serving his little Jiang Bao, but unfortunately, God did not give him this opportunity.
The changes happened too quickly. During this period, the number of survivors accommodated in the North District base increased exponentially, dozens of times that of previous years!
Even the new areas built this year are almost full, and are filled with survivors of the disaster.
This also shows that the living environment in the world outside the North District is deteriorating rapidly. The people responsible for registering refugee information have even seen many guild survivors from the edge of the world.
The reason they chose to stay away from the area where they lived was simply because of the catastrophic phenomenon that appeared in the sky.
The most basic prerequisite for resisting the catastrophic poison cloud is that there are people with guardian abilities inside the base. However, simply having people with guardian abilities cannot be considered a prerequisite.
Countless bases could no longer maintain their status quo and collapsed one after another.
Almost everyone is moving towards the base protected by guardian psychics. The North District has never been as famous as it is today, attracting survivors from all over the continent and even powerful psychics. They all regard this place as the last safe haven in the apocalypse.
Because, there are actually five guardian psychics here! Three of them are S-level psychics, and the mental power level of the other two is conservatively estimated to be above S.
The protective shield they built with their supernatural powers can protect the base from the invasion of catastrophic poisonous clouds, and the people in the shield are absolutely safe.
After learning of the plight outside, the vast North District was overcrowded. The Human Resources Bureau recommended closing the base's immigration channel and refusing to accept any more refugees, citing the potential for overcrowding and unexpected problems. The base's vaunted internal circulation was also at risk of being disrupted.
According to reliable sources, the number of refugees is far from reaching its peak. On the way to the northern district, a large number of refugees are still heading towards this place. They regard this place as their savior and the last safe haven.
Because only the North District treats everyone equally and accepts everyone.
All the management bureaus of the base are waiting for the owner of the base, Gu Yan, to make a decision.
Obviously, in this case, like other bases that protect people with superpowers, closing the base for self-protection and letting this group of people fend for themselves is the most cost-effective and permanent approach.
However, closing the base and not accepting survivors has never happened since the establishment of the North District.
The situation is critical now, and all bases are doing this. If the North District closes the base in order to protect itself, it is understandable. After all, they have done too much and accepted too many refugees.
The refugees regard this place as a paradise, but this is still the human world.
In the conference room, a long pause passed... Gu Yan raised his head and said two words, "Expansion."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
The directors of the various management bureaus in the base cast mixed glances at him.
There was surprise, admiration, confusion... but the only thing missing was disobedience.
Decisions made from the moral high ground can never be refuted or questioned.
That’s right, the base can be expanded so that it can continuously accept refugees, as long as the North District is willing to pay a higher price to do such a thankless and “stupid thing”.
In the face of the catastrophic poisonous cloud, ordinary humans without special powers are equivalent to useless ants, but for them personally, it is a hard-won chance of survival that is worth their desperate efforts.
If... When Gu Yan made this decision, he admitted that he thought of Jiang Qian.
What if Jiang Qian had not been protected by the zombie hunters and was just one of the fleeing survivors?
Will he turn her away again?
Similarly, he shouldn't turn anyone away.
After Gu Yan's order was issued, the entire base once again entered a wartime state of martial law.
But this time, it is absolutely glorious and just.
-Private suite of the chairman of Jiahe Hospital-
Jiang Xi sat on the lazy chair in front of the window, staring out the window in a daze.
There is a small viewing garden behind the hospital. From the location of Jiang Ying's room, you can see it by opening the curtains.
Although this scenery is far inferior to the base of the Qingyuan Guild, fortunately, the trees planted in the garden are evergreen, which has a unique charm even in the winter when the leaves fall.
Jiang Xi took a sip of black tea and felt a little confused.
She hadn't seen the figure that used to linger in front of her all day and make her feel annoyed for a long time.
What has Gu Yan been busy with recently?
Could it be that he was angry with her? Without her knowing...
Or is he still holding a grudge against her past?
Jiang Qian was wondering whether she should take the initiative to look for him later.
Suddenly, the green in the picturesque little garden gradually deepened until it turned into a thick dark green. Everything within Jiang Ting's sight suddenly became dark as if the lights had been turned off.
She thought she was seeing things.
When she stood up and looked up at the sky, she discovered that there was a shadow cast straight across the sky.
——It was a black cloud.
