Xuan Liu finally reacted. He suddenly looked up and stared directly at Fang Qingdai, his voice hoarse and dry: "Stop talking!"
"In any case, he revived my uncle, didn't he?"
He staggered as he stood up, and Fang Qingdai realized that in just two days, Xuan Liu had lost so much weight, and his cheeks had become sunken.
Xuan Liu looked at Fang Qingdai with red eyes: "You know, I overheard your conversation with Mao Ling. She said that my uncle's condition has not improved and has even worsened. It may be difficult to treat him, but it is time for you to have a mental health consultation."
"That means my uncle may never wake up!"
“But you kept it from me, and even lied to me that he was getting better and that there was a chance... I can’t watch my uncle live as a vegetable for the rest of his life, and I can’t accept him dying quietly in bed!”
Xuan Liu's expression was a mix of crying and laughing, his eyes filled with incredibly complex emotions: "At the very least, the people at the Xuanwu Base were able to wake my uncle up, to let him see this world again, weren't they?"
Fang Qingdai frowned deeply and couldn't stop sighing.
It's her fault for being a bit lax at the base, not maintaining her mental energy expansion at all times, and not noticing Xuan Liu's eavesdropping.
But, "Why don't you just ask?"
She looked at Xuan Liu: "A few months ago, you heard that your uncle's physical functions were not good and it was difficult to treat him to a level suitable for my mental counseling. So, in the past few months, haven't you seen his actual condition every day?"
“Every time the base distributes energy fluid, each person only gets a small tube. Your uncle was in a coma and clearly didn’t need the energy fluid, but I still gave him a dose. Didn’t you ask why?”
“We have determined that diluted energy fluid can slowly replenish your uncle’s physical losses. With a little more time, he will be able to recover to his peak condition. At that time, I can perform mental cleansing on him to help him wake up.”
Fang Qingdai's face was filled with unconcealed disappointment: "I promised to spare Xuan Ba's life and also promised to put aside past grievances and do my best to treat your uncle. Why were you willing to believe me before, to risk everything and leave the Xuanwu Base to accompany me on this path, but now you don't believe my promise, and you don't believe the Oasis Base?"
Was there something she didn't do well enough? No, it's that people's hearts have changed.
Xuan Liu's face gradually turned pale, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Fang Qingdai said softly, "Those are just excuses you're making to deceive yourself. In the end, you still resent me for locking Xuan Ba up."
Xuan Liu finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst out, saying emotionally, "Yes! I resent you for locking Xuan Ba up! When we left the base with you, you said it yourself that we would be family, a whole, and that we would support each other to create our own home!"
"If they are family, why can't Genpachi be forgiven?"
Before Fang Qingdai could speak, Xiao Mao blurted out, "If they're family, why would Xuan Ba betray us? He was the one who stopped treating us like family first!"
Xuanba had understood everything. He stumbled back a few steps, muttering, "I only did it for my dad, they lied to me..."
Fang Qingdai looked at her with piercing eyes: "No, you're not doing this for your father. You just saw how powerful those artificial superhumans are and had inappropriate thoughts. You're just blaming me for not arranging a high position and great power for you, which is why you were swayed by the high-ranking official position and power promised by the Xuanwu Base!"
Fang Qingdai never believed from the beginning that Xuan Ba would betray the base just because of his father.
Xuanba wasn't stupid; he couldn't possibly be unable to discern which side was truly sincere.
However, Li Weidong and his group were adept at using bribery and the power of high-ranking officials, which was a sore point for Xuan Ba, who came to the Oasis base thinking he would be a founding member but was not actually given important responsibilities.
Promising to cure his father was merely an added bonus.
Fang Qingdai looked at Xuan Ba, whose face was ashen, and pointed at Xiao Mao, asking him, "I have always treated you all equally. You feel that you have not been given important responsibilities, and neither has Xiao Mao."
“I’m letting you learn, letting you settle down, and giving you more opportunities to grow. Why can Xiao Mao, Huang Changming, and Xuan Liu do it, but you’re so impatient?”
Fang Qingdai is working hard to provide the best environment for growth for her team members, arranging what they want to learn and supporting what they want to do.
Before he had even finished refining his skills, Xuanba was already feeling frustrated and disillusioned, and his mind was swayed by the promise of interest from the Xuanwu Base.
He betrayed us, so why should he be forgiven?
Xuanba and Xuanliu both fell silent, their faces unable to conceal the pain and torment they were enduring.
Fang Qingdai then lowered her eyes, concealing the disappointment in them.
"Xuan Liu, think it over carefully. I need the spy's identity information."
After the group left the room, Jing Yi gently patted Fang Qingdai's shoulder without saying a word.
Fang Qingdai felt even more distressed.
At that time, Jing Yi was mostly considering Fang Qingdai's team. He had to give way to his own people, just in case Fang Qingdai's team felt uncomfortable.
Who knew that Fang Qingdai had betrayed two people?
Fang Qingdai adjusted her mindset for a while before slowly saying, "Give him some time. Let's go, let's go see Old Li first."
After leaving the cell, the group went directly to Elder Li's research institute.
As Li Lao was busy leading his students, he saw Fang Qingdai and his expression brightened with joy: "Base Commander, you've come at the perfect time!"
"We have developed antibodies against the virus, but to produce antibodies, we need a large amount of desert cattle blood, and we need a certain active substance in the blood."
Fang Qingdai immediately thought of the strange beasts she had confined in the wasteland!
She slapped her forehead, looking annoyed: "Oh no, I've tormented them for several more days."
Those beasts have been starving for three days. I wonder if the mental suggestion has failed. If it has, they must have been fighting fiercely inside the barrier!
With such a large herd of strange beasts, there must be quite a few desert cattle.
Fang Qingdai immediately asked Old Li, "How much desert ox blood do you need? I'll go get it right now!"
Old Li immediately had someone bring over an alloy can with a storage capacity of one ton: "Fill it up!"
Fang Qingdai's lips twitched.
How many desert cattle would you have to bleed without endangering their lives?
But for the sake of the patients at the base, she had no choice but to spend more time finding more affected cattle.
Before leaving, Fang Qingdai asked Elder Li, "What are the chances of this virus infecting alien beasts?"
After thinking for a moment, Old Li shook his head: "This virus is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact. Those beasts had close contact with people carrying the virus on the battlefield, so there was still a chance of infection. However, the beasts' resistance is incomparable to that of humans, so it is possible that they were not affected."
It's just that we can't be sure.
Fang Qingdai took a breath and nodded: "I understand, I'll go take a look."
