Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Zombies
Looking at the simple blood-drawing table in front of them, no one stepped forward.
They are not stupid.
Everyone knows about the mess that has happened in the base recently. Maybe this blood draw is just to match some people with suitable heteronuclear cells.
"Why are you guys just sitting there doing nothing?"
"Come here and draw blood."
Several nurses in front of the blood-drawing table looked at the gathered crowd in confusion, not understanding why they were all standing still.
An elderly woman asked, "Girl, which hospital are you from? We didn't hear you need to draw blood."
Several nurses were also a little confused, looking at each other. One of them replied, "We are nurses from the Second Hospital. Don't worry, Auntie. Not only the weapons department, but all the psychics in the base have to have their blood drawn. This is the regulation from above."
The old lady took a few steps back cautiously. "How come I didn't know all people with special abilities have to have their blood drawn? I didn't hear Xiao Li say that. Hey, Xiao Chun, have you heard about Xiao Zhang?"
The girl called Xiaochun shook her head: "I didn't hear it either."
Not only them, all the superpowers present had never heard of this news before and did not dare to let others draw their blood.
The young nurse was helpless: "Auntie, why would we lie to you? You also received a notice to gather in the cafeteria, right?"
The old lady was still extremely vigilant: "The person who notified us only said to gather but didn't say to draw blood. What are you going to do with our blood?"
You ask me, who should I ask?
We are all employees, and we should follow the orders of our superiors. Why should we make things difficult for each other?
The young nurse tried hard to resist rolling her eyes and continued to explain in a gentle voice, "Our superiors arranged for us to draw blood. Why don't you ask your superiors and see what they say?"
"Think about it, if we didn't have the consent of the Weapons Department, could we have come in openly? Would the scammers be so bold?"
The aunt snorted coldly: "That's hard to say."
As for verifying this with the leader, she should wait for someone else to do it. If it turns out to be true, she would become a troublemaker who questions the leader and refuses to obey discipline.
Only a fool would be the first to take action.
He Junxia listened quietly to the conversation between the two, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Minister Pang, but unfortunately he did not receive a reply.
Then he sent messages to several combat unit psychics he knew, asking them if they had received the notice to have their blood drawn, and the answer was no.
"Hey, why are you all standing there in line?"
A pot-bellied man walked out of the door, waving his hands and urging everyone to line up quickly.
He Junxia looked back and found that it was Ge Lecheng, the deputy director of the manufacturing department, but according to the division of responsibilities, he was not responsible for matters related to people with special abilities.
He Junxia's suspicions grew even deeper.
Speaking of which, there were also problems with the notice this time. They only found someone to notify everyone to gather in the cafeteria, and did not mention the blood test at all.
Such secretiveness is clearly not in line with normal business procedures.
You have to know that under the leadership of Minister Pang, their department uses electronic notifications to explain even trivial matters, and the time, place, cause, process and result of the incident must be clear.
He Junxia was just about to ask when someone else asked before him.
"Captain Ge, Xiao Li didn't tell us we needed to draw blood."
Ge Lecheng frowned when he heard this: "Where is he? How come he can't even run errands to notify them?"
Everyone looked left and right but couldn't find Xiao Li.
"You said Xiao Zhang is unreliable."
Ge Lecheng frowned and said a few words to Xiao Zhang, then turned around and smiled and explained to everyone, "Don't worry, having your blood drawn isn't a bad thing. You've all heard about what happened recently, right? Someone awakened their superpowers through improper means."
"Now we need to test all people with special abilities. Through blood analysis, we can identify those with abnormal awakenings to protect everyone's safety. All people with special abilities must undergo blood tests. No one can escape."
Most people were convinced by Ge Lecheng's words.
As he said, if people who awakened superpowers through improper means could be detected through blood tests, it would be a guarantee for everyone.
Moreover, standing up and openly opposing it now would not only bring bad results, but it would also make you feel guilty as if you had awakened your superpowers using improper methods.
Seeing everyone lining up one after another, the young men following He Junxia whispered, "Team Leader, aren't we going to line up?"
He Junxia shook his head slightly.
He walked up to Ge Lecheng and asked, "Minister Ge, you know that those things have caused a lot of trouble in the base. It's not that I don't trust you, but drawing the blood of a mutant is no small matter. There must be a written notice explaining this."
Those who originally believed Ge Lecheng's words became alert again.
Team Leader He is right. Usually, notifications will be issued for all major and minor matters in the manufacturing department. Even if there are no paper documents, there are electronic documents.
Something as serious as drawing blood can't just be left to words.
The person first in line immediately withdrew his hand upon seeing this. The nurse who was ready to draw blood held up the needle awkwardly, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
The smile on Ge Lecheng's face froze slightly.
He laughed and said, "Of course there is a notice, but I can't carry the documents with me at all times. You guys go draw your blood first, and after that I'll find the notice for you. Don't waste the nurse's time."
He Junxia smiled: "Nowadays, all communication is online. There is no paper notice, but there must be an electronic version. Please take a look at it and let everyone feel at ease."
Ge Lecheng's expression turned cold.
"Xie Tengda, what do you mean? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
He Junxia continued to smile politely: "Minister Ge, please don't be angry. I didn't say you were lying. It's just that everything has rules and regulations. We have to act according to them, don't you agree?"
Ge Lecheng's expression softened slightly: "You're right, I was too excited."
He pretended to pull out his phone, but pulled out a puff of air. He paused and said embarrassedly, "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring my phone with me. So, you two don't draw yet. I'll go back and get my phone so you can read the electronic notification before you draw, okay?"
Compared to Ge Lecheng's good temper, He Junxia seems aggressive.
"Hey, Team Leader Xie, why are you so serious?"
A person in the middle of the line tried to dissuade him, "Minister Ge, can you really harm us? If this is fake, who would dare to do it so openly?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's no big deal."
Everyone spoke out to support Ge Lecheng. A deputy minister was so good-tempered that it would be tactless for them to continue to argue about it.
The first person to speak up walked to the front of the line and said to the nurse, "I'm not afraid of any criticism. Come and take mine first."
The nurse quickly drew a small tube of blood, took out two clean medical cotton swabs and handed them to him, asking him to press the needle hole himself to stop the bleeding.
The whole process went smoothly and was no different from an ordinary blood test in a hospital.
"I'm timid and afraid of getting into trouble. I'm certainly not as courageous as you."
He Junxia turned around, glanced at the man, and said with a smile, "We psychics are directly managed by Minister Pang. Secretary Wang is responsible for notifying us of all matters, big or small. It seems that you, who are in charge of raw materials, have nothing to do with it, right?"
"I will not participate in the blood drawing activity you are responsible for."
He Junxia walked forward and suddenly reached out from Ge Lecheng's coat pocket and took out something that looked like a cell phone and waved it in front of everyone.
"Oh, Minister Ge, look at you, you are really old. How come you can't even use such a big phone?"
He Junxia stuffed the phone back into Ge Lecheng's coat pocket and walked out of the cafeteria with a swagger, leaving everyone in the cafeteria looking at each other in bewilderment.
Something seems to be wrong?
Minister Ge clearly had his cell phone with him, so how could he lie to them that he didn't have his cell phone with him?
Is there no notification?
No one expressed anything on their faces, but they were all muttering in their hearts.
Team Leader Xie was well-known for being highly regarded by Minister Pang, and was also known for his good temper. He almost never got into arguments with anyone, and he would do his best to help others when they were in trouble.
Minister Ge suddenly became so sarcastic that it was hard not to suspect that he knew some inside information.
"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom."
"It's over. I forgot to turn off the machine. I'll go back and turn it off."
"Wait, I'll go with you."
…
In less than a moment, several young psychics belonging to the cold weapon manufacturing team disappeared using various excuses.
Seeing this, the remaining psychics also found excuses to leave.
Anyway, now that there is someone who has stepped out, all the energy has been attracted. It won’t be too late to ask someone to draw blood after they have figured out the situation, so as to avoid being cheated.
Most of the people with special abilities in the cafeteria had left, leaving only two or three kittens still there, obediently letting the nurse draw their blood.
Ge Lecheng's face was gloomy.
He didn't expect that He Junxia, who was usually the most obedient and patient, would resist him and ruin the opportunity they had worked so hard to find.
The pot-bellied man held the phone as if he wanted to crush it into scrap metal.
*
After leaving the cafeteria, He Junxia went to the minister's office to look for someone, but unfortunately not only was Minister Pang not there, but her secretaries were also not there.
He asked several people before he found out that they were in a meeting.
He Junxia returned to the studio with a heavy heart to continue working, but after the blood test, he was a little out of shape.
Fortunately, Huo Jianan had taken a leave of absence for something, and there were only him and a few apprentices in the studio. The apprentices' concentration was even worse than his, so for a moment no one noticed that he was distracted.
It was afternoon, and He Junxia did not work overtime for the first time. Instead, he went to the minister's office to wait for someone after get off work.
Unfortunately, he still didn't wait for anyone, and the message on his phone still didn't get a reply, which made him worry.
Could something have happened to Minister Pang?
No, that's unlikely, she is the major general's direct subordinate.
When a general is away from the emperor, he is not always subject to his king's orders. Even an investigation team from the central government cannot immediately bring down the highest military leader of a base.
He Junxia was more inclined to believe that she was held back by other things.
However, what happened today reminded him that he could no longer stay in the Yunjiang Base with a fluke mentality - this time he could refuse on the grounds that the procedures were not up to standard, but what about next time, and the next time after that? If it was Minister Pang or the base officials who gave a clear order, could he still refuse?
Of course not.
And from the latest news, we know that the research institute of Yunjiang Base has not given up on studying people with special abilities.
Perhaps they would not force normal people with special abilities to undergo experiments, but it is not impossible to draw a few tubes of blood for analysis and testing. After all, the more samples there are, the more true and reliable the conclusions will be.
He Junxia still remembers that the psychic who made a big mistake was taken away by the investigation team and there was no news since then. His life or death is still unknown and his whereabouts are unknown.
"Xiao Da, it's really you."
Zhang Jingqiang, who was dressed up, looked at He Junxia with surprise: "Dad knows you don't want to see Dad, but Dad really misses you so much, Dad wanted to come and see you."
He Junxia felt a little nauseous.
However, the appearance of Zhang Jingqiang gave him an idea of a good way to escape.
