Chapter 38 Funeral "I just want to give her a funeral"
Where did the reformed people go?
Xie Shuqin thought of the base.
I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.
"Xie Shuqin..." Xu An's voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Xie Shuqin was startled, but found that Xu An was staring at her silently and at the experimental manual in her hand.
Xie Shuqin subconsciously hid the experiment in her hand behind her back, but suddenly heard a chuckle.
"Nothing." Seeing her look up, Xu An shrugged, "Some things I already know, it doesn't matter whether you hide it or not."
"I..." Xie Shuqin squeezed the lab sheet tightly. "Xu An, I know there are some things you don't want to talk about, but this has really puzzled me for a long time. You lured us to this place, could it be that you simply took us here for a walk? Before we got here, all we could do was sneak into Lin Yu's happy nest as humans."
"You said before that Lin Yu knew too much about you and wanted to kill her. So, will you treat us, who you deliberately lured here to uncover your secrets, the same way you treated Lin Yu?"
Xu An looked into her eyes, leaned on the table, and raised the corner of his lips. "Guess."
"I guess you won't!"
Xu An was surprised by her confidence. She opened her mouth, then swallowed her words back into her stomach, and saw Jie Shuqin walking towards her step by step.
"You said you needed us to open Lin Yu's base. You could have knocked us out and bled us. But you didn't. Instead, you let us choose whether to go with you. Even when we were about to touch upon the affairs of the humans on the surface or your secrets, you simply wouldn't tell us in person, but you never stopped us from looking."
Xie Shuqin's eyes are always bright, and they are especially bright when she looks at someone seriously. Xu An even suspects that she has light bulbs installed in her eyes.
Xu An sat down on the table and looked at her with a smile: "Then, why are you so sure that I won't kill you? I am an alien species."
Just as she was about to imitate the alien on the ground baring its fangs, a hand suddenly touched her fingertips.
Xu An subconsciously lowered her head and a shadow appeared in front of her. She silently looked at Jie Shuqin who was so close to her.
The stickiness of alien blood still lingered on Xu An's long, curly eyelashes. He blinked hard, then heard Jie Shuqin say, "Because you don't look like an alien."
"Really?" Xu An wanted to laugh. "You mean, I look like a human?"
"You are more human than human."
Xu An's smile froze.
It was still noisy upstairs. The roars of monsters, the gunshots of bionic men, and the screams of pain from torn bodies were all clearly transmitted to Xu An's ears through the quiet laboratory.
After a long while, Xu An slowly spoke: "Yin Shu also said this to me back then."
Her voice seemed to be much hoarser, and for a moment, Xie Shuqin felt that she was like an elder who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and was recalling the appearance of her relatives from her youth.
"Is that Dr. Yin?" Xie Shuqin asked her.
"Yes. She often said that I looked cold, but I was always friendly in my heart. But in fact, I learned all these from her." Xu An looked up at the ring-shaped light on the ceiling.
"In that crowd of hypocritical people, my honesty, which I emulated, was actually treasured by her. She often praised me, even more than she praised her daughter. She often shared her ideas and lab reports with me, and before each experiment, she would explain the possible consequences to me before letting me make the decision, even if I didn't understand at the time."
"She taught me how to write and conduct experiments, and even developed a bio-powered balancer for me, allowing me to freely pilot a flying mecha." Xu An suddenly laughed as he spoke. "The last time my memory was confused, you thought the Dr. Yin I was talking about was Yin Xiangrong, and foolishly took me to find her."
"...I'm sorry. Have you been looking for her all this time? Dr. Yin, is she..." Xie Shuqin thought for a moment and changed her words to be more tactful, "She's with the humans on the surface?"
"She's dead." Xu An seemed much calmer than Jie Shuqin. "She was transformed into a different species by Lin Yu and died in a hail of bullets. Lin Yu hid the crystal core, and I've been looking for it."
bullet……
Perhaps this was the real reason the base had expelled Yin Shu. The once-proud biology PhD had suddenly become a sought-after alien. To stabilize the rumors, or perhaps to conceal the fact that humans could transform into aliens, the predecessors of the base unanimously decided to execute her.
Xu An, who was accused of mental illness and mistakenly killed Yin Shu and was sent to Tartarus Mental Hospital, was just a scapegoat to conceal the real cause of Yin Shu's death.
"Actually, there's no such thing as a scapegoat. She did die because of me. As my supervisor, she knew almost everything about me. That's why she was targeted by Lin Yu and tortured to become a mutant with only a brief consciousness." Xu An sighed and looked at Jie Shuqin calmly and seriously. "It's not good to know too much about me. Yin Shu is an example. Do you want to be like her?"
"I don't think this is something that needs to be avoided. You are just victims of other people's desires. It has never been a question of guilt or innocence." Xie Shuqin shook her head. "Xu An, you are looking for her crystal core. Are you trying to hatch her again?"
"No." Xu An was silent for a moment. "The crystal core of a species transformed from a human has no incubation function. I just want to give her... a funeral."
A funeral.
Xie Shuqin also wanted to give Yang Gui a funeral.
In that place full of flowers and butterflies.
Xie Shuqin looked at her seriously: "Xu An, after the ground stabilizes, let's hold a funeral for the doctor and Yang Gui on the ground together."
Xu An looked at her in surprise at first, then smiled brightly: "Maybe Yang Gui is still a doctoral student. He might have scolded her a few times during the open class."
"Who knows? He might even find a way to skip a few classes!" Xie Shuqin continued with a smile, "Then come out and pilot a flying mecha with the others."
"Finally, he was caught by the patrol and forced to practice boxing for several hours as punishment?"
Xie Shuqin was upset when she heard Xu An's words, "Don't talk about this, Xu An. It makes my whole body ache when I hear it."
Xu An was about to respond when his ears suddenly jolted. He pushed Jie Shuqin onto the table behind him, then propped up the table and flipped over behind it.
A series of cracking sounds were heard just as he stood firm. Glass shattered all over the floor, and a bloody man fell in the middle.
The three of them were shocked. Baili Yunle finally finished the last piece of electronic data and looked at the pool of blood on the ground. "Is this the second person whose organs have been hollowed out?"
Xu An frowned and walked forward, pulling away the cloth covering the man's head.
"team leader?!"
To his surprise, several monsters and several bionic human heads suddenly appeared above his head.
Xie Shuqin immediately picked up the gun and shot the two that stuck their heads out. Baili Yunle took the opportunity to lift Feng Lan up.
Xu An opened the window and looked at the glass platform not far away, "Get out from here!"
Baili Yunle immediately threw the climbing rope out, hung it tightly on the platform, and then tied the other end to the window. "I'll take the captain away first."
After saying that, he put Feng Lan's hands around his neck, grabbed his wrists with one hand, grabbed the rope with the other hand, and slid over the rope.
The sound of the monsters climbing densely became more and more dense. Xu An picked up the glass blocks on the ground and circled around Jie Shuqin to hit the monster's crystal core.
Xie Shuqin quickly came around and said, "Xu An, you go first. I have a grenade."
"Okay." Xu An immediately jumped and slid over.
As soon as she landed, Xie Shuqin's figure was swinging towards her on a rope. Suddenly, flames came out of the building behind her and it exploded behind her.
The intense heat wave lifted her hair. Xie Shuqin pushed the wall with her toes and quickly climbed up the rope.
Behind him, monsters poured out from the flames and fell downstairs because they could not stop. With the loud noise of the huge monsters hitting the ground, the entire first and second floors were splattered with blood.
"It seems the entire building is filled with these monsters. Even the androids have had their brains pried open by them. The captain is seriously injured now. We need to find a place to treat him first."
As he spoke, the gravity body slowly flew over. Baili Yunle jumped into it, controlled the gravity body to pick up Feng Lan, and hung him in the air.
Xie Shuqin opened the gravity body and looked at Xu An: "Xu An, can you stand on the gravity body by yourself? Or should I drive the AI to accompany you outside?"
Xu An had given up asking if he could drive the gravity body, and sat obediently on its shoulders, "You drive it."
As she spoke, she leaned her head back and crossed her legs.
Xie Shuqin smiled and jumped into the driver's seat. "Then sit tight and be careful not to fall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the jet started up and hung in the air. The bionic people who came over picked up their guns and shot at the gravity body.
Xu An, who was so carefree just now, quickly curled himself up and hid behind his head, wailing as he hid: "Xiao Jiezi, protect me!"
Xie Shuqin's mouth twitched, and her ten fingers flew across the control panel. "I really didn't expect that I would have to be careful to dodge bullets in a mecha! Xu An! My hands are cramping!"
She raised a mechanical arm to block the bullet for Xu An and pressed the headset: "Brother, have you found a temporary place to stay?"
Baili Yunle's voice soon came: "The ground is full of bionic people, on every platform, in every window, and even inside the train, all holding guns!"
Xu An leisurely looked at the dense crowd and couldn't help but sigh, "If something comes from the sky, it will be really difficult to deal with."
As he finished speaking, a strange mechanical humming sound was heard. A few people looked up and saw only a few rays of light shining from the horizon. The rest were all spherical AIs that formed a wall like a wasp.
Xie Shuqin's eyes widened: "Oh my God."
Baili Yunle hurriedly stopped and almost went straight into the "insect nest". "Crow's mouth, this is really difficult!"
Xu An shrugged and leaned on the mechanical arm. "Keep going, I'm going to sleep."
Millions of spherical AIs rushed towards them. Amid the humming sound of machinery, Xie Shuqin smashed the neon train pipe under him and flew in.
Baili Yunle followed closely behind, and after entering, he did not forget to block the entrance of the cave.
The spherical AI followed closely outside the neon pipe.
