"Wait, isn't it too hasty to go like this? Do you still have ginger?"
The old man regained consciousness after being stunned by the surprise: "Go and study it carefully to confirm whether it is really completely non-toxic."
The thin man reluctantly took out a piece from his pocket: "If I had known you would be interested, I would have left it for you."
The old man snatched it away and immediately rushed to the laboratory to do experiments.
....
Chu Qi was taken by the map man to live in a two-story villa with a small garden and a private swimming pool.
The house has complete infrastructure, and the map man said that food and clothing will be delivered tomorrow.
I slept soundly, and early the next morning, someone brought me
The map man said his name was Meng Nan and that I could call him if I needed anything.
Chu Qi was too tired yesterday, so he just took a quick shower and went to sleep. This morning, Chu Qi got up early and took a shower.
Countless muds were rubbed off the body, making the floor dirty.
After washing for more than an hour, Chu Qi finally washed to a satisfactory level.
The first second she entered the wealthy area, she saw how people dressed and how clean they were, and she knew she didn't need to disguise herself here.
It's simple. Everyone else is clean except you. Aren't you an oddball?
He will definitely be regarded as a scavenger who came in from outside to move bricks temporarily.
What Chu Qi needs to do is to survive here for a long time and do her best to spend her old age...
As for Chu Xuan's task, it had already been completed during the months of relying on each other.
Chu Xuan simply treats her as the best brother, and there is no one better than Chu Qi in the world.
The task was completed very well, and all Chu Qi wanted to do now was to find a place to live out her retirement years.
....
After taking a shower, Chu Qi also trimmed his beard briefly.
Among the things Meng Nan asked others to send over was a razor.
A razor with a strange shape.
It's like an invention made by a novice, who carefully adds his own characteristics to it. No one who sees it would think that such a thing would be sold on the market.
Because it's really ugly.
Chu Qi took the ugly razor, put some foam on it, and then shaved off the beard that covered half of his face.
The process of shaving was very pleasant. Chu Qi shaved slowly, threw the beard into the trash can, and looked at his handsome face in the mirror with satisfaction.
Well, although her body is a little tanned due to her experience of living in the scavenger base, her appearance is still very resistant to tanning.
After shaving his beard and putting on some clean clothes, he became a tall and handsome boy.
He looks ten years younger than before he shaved.
Chu Qi walked out of the bathroom, and Chu Xuan's eyes widened in shock: "Brother, is that you?"
"It's me, go take a shower."
Chu Qi habitually raised her hand to touch her sister's head, but stopped ten centimeters away.
Uh...my hair is so oily.
Chu Qi took back her hand as if nothing had happened and put it in her trouser pocket: "Remember to wash your hair well. You don't need to be dirty here."
Subconsciously, he raised his head slightly to welcome Chu Xuan who wanted to pat his head: "...Okay."
Are you serious about pulling your hand back?
So naturally, it hurt my young heart...
Chu Xuan almost shed tears, but held back.
She took her clothes and went in to take a shower.
Wait, she wants to take a nice shower and not let her brother dislike her!
.....
After finishing the experiment, the doctor was so excited that he almost cried, and went straight to look for Chu Qi.
Chu Qi and her sister were tending to the flowers and plants in the small garden. When they turned around, they saw an old man walking towards them in a hurry.
His burning gaze looked left and right, and behind him followed a thin man.
"Have you seen a big man with a beard?"
Meng Nan saw the brother and sister tending to the flowers and plants and thought they were gardeners. At the doctor's excited gesture, he moved closer and asked.
Chu Qi: "Is there anyone else living here?"
Meng Nan: “….”
Meng Nan almost cracked in shock: “Are you Brother Xiaoqi?”
"Um."
"I can't believe he looks so handsome after shaving his beard."
Meng Nan praised her and then got to the point. He pushed the teacher in front of Chu Qi and introduced her:
"Seventh Brother, this is my teacher, Dr. Zhao. He heard that you found non-toxic ginger and wants to talk to you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Chu Qi threw the man-eating plant in her hand to the ground, stood up and brushed off the dust on her butt, "It's convenient, come on."
Several people walked to the pavilion in the small garden and sat down.
Dr. Zhao: "I am a researcher working on virus antidotes. If I want to make an antidote, non-toxic plants are very important..."
His old eyes, shining with wisdom, stared at Chu Qi closely:
“I have done many experiments to obtain completely non-toxic botanical herbs, but the results have not been satisfactory.
“Either we fail, or we barely succeed.
"The virus cannot be completely eliminated, which also caused the antidote I developed to be ineffective and unable to truly purify the virus."
"But your ginger is different. It really doesn't contain any virus..." Dr. Zhao finished the introduction and got to the point:
"Can you tell me where you find your non-toxic ginger cubes?"
Chu Qi thought about the truth of Dr. Zhao's words and did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked:
"Before I answer your question, can you tell me what you will do after you successfully research the antidote?"
Dr. Zhao: "Publish the antidote, save the world, and restore social order..."
"Sorry. I can't believe you based on your one-sided statement. Can you give me some time to think about it?" Chu Qi temporarily refused.
Once she reveals her origin, she will definitely attract Dr. Zhao's attention. What if the old man wants to take her for research and slice her?
Although he didn't get an answer, Dr. Zhao had a vague guess in his mind, and this guess made the light in his eyes brighter and brighter.
Dr. Zhao was anxious as he could not get an answer for the time being, but he also understood that gaining trust was not that easy.
He handed over his business card. "If you want to tell me, please come to this address to find me. Or if you want to visit the research base, you can also come to me. I am always waiting for your arrival."
"Okay." Chu Qi nodded and took Dr. Zhao's business card with both hands.
Dr. Zhao achieved his goal and soon said goodbye and left.
Meng Nan didn't leave. He stayed in the small garden and chatted with Chu Qi as if they were just talking about family matters.
Pulling a petal, Meng Nan adjusted his rusty glasses frame and asked, "How do you feel about living here?"
Chu Qi: "Not bad."
"If you like, you can live here permanently. The treatment for people with special abilities is pretty good, but there are many restrictions, which greatly limit your freedom."
Before Meng Nan knew that Chu Qi was a mutant, he just planned to find an identity for him and his sister in the base.
