Chapter 143 World Five [1]
The lifespan of mythical beasts is extremely long. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very easy for them to live for a thousand years.
However, as the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding area decreased, the lifespan of the divine beasts was greatly reduced in the Dharma Ending Age. Jing Ke's lifespan, which was originally supposed to be a thousand years, was reduced to only more than three hundred years.
But Jing Ke was very satisfied, because since she opened her eyes over the past three hundred years, she had seen the person she had been thinking about, and he had never been separated from her since then.
The soul contract relieved Jing Ke of many worries. She could die with Wen Ruyue with a clear conscience, and then let her disciples bury them in the cemetery of Lingxiaomen.
The soul contract shares everything, including but not limited to luck.
Therefore, Jing Ke, who had gained a lot of energy, became more sensitive to other fragments of her body. Not only that, she could also vaguely feel another soul that was deeply bound to her.
Is it because the self in this world and Wen Ruyue have completed the soul binding, so I can sense more?
A question couldn't help but pop up in Jing Ke's mind. Before she could find the answer, she sensed a shaky soul in another world.
Thinking about how the rules deliberately targeted his lover's soul, Jing Ke didn't care too much. After locking onto the current world, he directly traveled to the corresponding body fragment.
-
Hmm—
I'm so tired, so sleepy, and so exhausted. Maybe I need to take a nap.
This was Jing Ke's first reaction after waking up in his original body in another world, but after accepting the memories of his original body, Jing Ke's eyes suddenly widened.
Without even bothering to get the glasses and coat that were placed aside, Jing Ke stumbled towards the third underground floor in her pajamas and bare feet.
Compared to her memories, Jing Ke received a lot of extremely professional knowledge to her, suggesting that she was a genius with high IQ in this world, and was also in charge of the most important project at the moment.
This world is very special, and it still has a modern social background.
But this world was invaded by an alien virus three years ago, and the original population of nearly 10 billion was reduced to less than 100 million, and 99% of the people died in the virus.
Strictly speaking, the consciousness of those 99% of people should have been taken over by the virus, turning them into monsters that only knew how to devour flesh and blood to make themselves stronger.
The alien virus is sweeping across the world at an extremely fast speed. As long as there is air, there will be viruses.
Because of this, the death rate reached a terrifying 99 percent, and only one person out of a hundred survived.
But surviving does not mean that the remaining 100 million people successfully resisted the alien virus. It just means that the virus did not devour their consciousness, but caused positive mutations in their bodies.
Some people gained super eyesight, some had enhanced hearing, and some went from being unable to lift a bag of rice to being strong enough to lift a car with ease.
Physical enhancement is a relatively basic direction of positive mutation, and among these positively mutated people, there are also absolutely lucky ones who have gained superpowers that originally only existed in fantasy.
Some of them can control water, some can summon wind, some can create fire out of thin air, and some can take objects from a distance.
There are many directions of mutation, but generally speaking, they are different from physical mutations, so they are called evolvers, while those who only gain physical enhancement are relatively common mutants.
After experiencing a hundred days of darkness and chaos, the mutants and evolvers who survived the alien virus slowly gathered together and formed independent bases to think about how to rebuild human civilization.
Neither mutants nor evolvers are afraid of viruses in the air, but the former are relatively weaker in resistance. If bitten by a zombie that has failed to mutate, there is a one-third chance that they will be forced to mutate a second time.
The direction of the second mutation is the same as the first mutation. You may fail to mutate and become a relatively powerful zombie, or you may be lucky enough to become a one in a million evolver. The ratio is about 99:1.
When Jing Ke entered the small world this time, without awakening his self-consciousness, he already had a human body under the arrangement of the rules.
A medical genius, he graduated from college at the age of ten, received his doctorate at the age of fifteen, and became a super expert in the medical field at the age of twenty.
The medical field here does not refer to a single field, but in the field that can be called medicine, Jing Ke has a very high voice, and is even called a treasure given to mankind by God by some countries.
God's treasure became a lucky evolver when the alien virus came, but her special ability did not give her strong combat capability. She could only read other people's consciousness under certain conditions, and there was a very small probability of changing the other person's thinking.
When God opens a door for you, he will close a window for you. This sentence also applies to Jing Ke.
God opened countless doors for Jing Ke in the field of medicine, but closed her ability to communicate with others, which led her to be called a silent genius.
However, it is normal for geniuses to have some quirks. Jing Ke just doesn't want to communicate with others, which seems harmless to those in power.
Jing Ke's fame made her a hot commodity that all major bases wanted to get after the end of the world.
Because everyone thinks that if there is really someone in this world who can conquer the alien virus, that person must be Jing Ke.
So even if every base wants Jing Ke to join, they will only resort to inducement rather than coercion.
Otherwise, once the news gets out, the base will definitely become the target of public criticism and will be besieged and divided up by everyone.
Jing Ke herself doesn't care. As long as there is a place where she can do research, she doesn't care which base it is.
After a year of mutual annexation and division among the major bases, Base No. 1 became the most powerful base among the more than 100 existing bases, and naturally gained the right to invite Jing Ke to move in.
In April of the second year after the apocalypse, Jing Ke was escorted by the strongest team in Base No. 1 to a research institute built specifically for her.
Not only was he directly appointed as the director of the institute, he was also given the rank of general and enjoyed the same benefits as the other eight senior executives of the base.
Jing Ke did not let her outstanding talent down. In June of the third year of the apocalypse, that is, after fourteen months of research, she successfully developed a purification potion.
If a mutant is bitten by a zombie outside, or is contaminated by similar zombie venom, he only needs to inject the evolution potion within two hours to avoid the risk of secondary mutation.
After the research results were announced, Jing Ke was hailed as a god, and was subsequently asked by the new base director to develop a drug that could ensure positive mutation into an evolver.
The reason the base commander used to convince Jing Ke was simple: as long as he became an evolver, he would not only gain more powerful strength, but also be completely immune to alien viruses.
Only if everyone becomes an evolver can they continue to survive in this world full of alien viruses and continue human civilization.
The reason, which sounded empty and pretentious to outsiders, convinced Jing Ke very well, so Jing Ke started to study this evolution potion.
Just yesterday, Jing Ke spent half a year to produce the first version of the medicine. After injecting it into animals, the ratio of failed mutations to successful evolutions reached 1:3.
That is to say, if the situation is ideal, if this drug is injected into four people, one person will fail to mutate and three will evolve successfully.
Back to the topic, the reason why Jing Ke was in such a hurry was because of the potion that was made yesterday.
In Jing Ke's memory, she sent the relevant results to the head of the base before going to bed, and then came back to sleep.
Being unwilling to communicate with others and express one's feelings doesn't mean Jing Ke can't notice anything.
From the memory of his original body, Jing Ke knew that there were nine senior executives in the base, including himself. They were all evolvers selected from thousands of people. Except for himself, the other eight people led a team of evolvers.
The current base commander is the so-called top leader. His combat capability is not the strongest, and he was not even the top leader at the beginning.
But he was the best at painting big pictures. After using false and empty promises of the future to get Jing Ke to work, he relied on the purification agent developed by Jing Ke to win over many people and gradually became the head of the base.
As for the person who was squeezed out, she was a powerful evolver. It was she who successfully defeated other bases and got the invitation for Jing Ke to move into Base No. 1.
However, when the person was being picked up, the then top leader Chu Ci was recovering from an injury, and the job was snatched away by the current top leader Bai Xiaohui.
On the surface, the atmosphere between the new and old leaders was harmonious, but the struggle behind the scenes was very fierce.
Jing Ke didn't know what Chu Ci himself was thinking, but she could see that Bai Xiaohui was trying every means to kill Chu Ci.
The reason why Jing Ke knew about this was very simple. Bai Xiaohui knew that Jing Ke didn't like to talk, was unwilling to communicate with others, and had very simple ideas, so he had tried to dissuade her openly and secretly, and complained about many things related to Chu Ci.
This includes but is not limited to Chu Ci's decision-making being too simple and crude, and he would do anything to achieve his goals.
For example, in the most recent incident, Bai Xiaohui told him that Chu Ci allowed his subordinate's arm to be bitten off in order to kill a level five zombie and obtain the crystal core in the other's head to improve his own strength.
Afterwards, Chu Ci didn't even go to the hospital. He was obsessed with improving his strength to the point of obsession.
What made Jing Ke nervous was not only Bai Xiaohui's malice towards Chu Ci, but also the questions Bai Xiaohui had inadvertently asked before she developed the first batch of evolution potions.
"Director Jing, aren't evolvers immune to alien viruses? If the evolution potion is injected into the body of an evolver, can it help increase their strength?" This was Bai Xiaohui's question.
"Evolutionary potions are not the same as alien viruses. Their essential structure has changed. Whether they are injected into mutants or evolvers, there is a possibility that the mutation will fail." When it comes to professional fields, Jing Ke's characteristic of not liking to talk will temporarily disappear.
Jing Ke: "If it's a positive mutation, it might be able to achieve the effect of enhancing strength, but we still lack relevant experimental data."
"If it is injected twice, will it be possible to successfully strengthen the evolver twice?" Bai Xiaohui asked.
"If all mutations are positive, then yes. But if there is even one failure, even if it is an evolver, it will fail to mutate and become a zombie or other monster." This was the extremely professional answer Jing Ke gave at the time.
If it were Jing Ke, who usually doesn't like to think too much, she might not be able to guess the purpose of Bai Xiaohui asking this question.
But when it came to Jing Ke, who had awakened her self-awareness and knew that the rules were maliciously targeting her lover, she guessed the intention almost instantly.
Bai Xiaohui wanted to inject the medicine he developed into Chu Ci. As he said, as long as there was a single mutation failure during the injection process, even an evolver would turn into a zombie.
So all Bai Xiaohui needs to do is to keep injecting the medicine into Chu Ci and bet on that one in four probability.
Jing Ke remembered that there were a total of ten potions stored in the safe. If Bai Xiaohui used them all up, the probability of Chu Ci's mutation failing would be extremely high!
"Director, why are you out? Where are you going?"
"Captain, why are you wearing pajamas? Is someone trying to kill you?"
"Captain, Captain, please don't run barefoot! It's too dangerous!"
Jing Ke's room was on the basement floor. After leaving his living area, Jing Ke heard no less than ten voices reminding him, and there were even guards ready to stop him and ask about the situation.
"Get out." Jing Ke's body couldn't shout out the word loudly, but with a sullen face, after uttering these cold words, he successfully stopped the guards and other researchers.
As the director of the institute with the highest authority, Jing Ke ran to his exclusive elevator according to his memory. After completing the iris recognition, he saw the elevator coming from the third floor to the first floor.
The elevator was said to be his exclusive elevator, but the other eight people in power at the base also had the right to use the elevator. So after seeing this scene, Jing Ke couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.
Oh no, Bai Xiaohui has already gone down, and he is very likely to have already attacked Chu Ci.
But the elevator had not come up yet, so Bai Xiaohui might not have succeeded, or he might have succeeded but did not have time to get out.
Jing Ke gritted her teeth. She was very angry inside, but also a little panicked.
Jing Ke didn't know why the rules targeted her lover, but she could guess that if her lover went to extremes and became a killing machine in some world, that would definitely be the result the rules wanted to see the most, and it would be more satisfying to the rules than if her lover was wiped out.
After waiting for the elevator door to open, Jing Ke walked in, then pressed the door closing button and stared at everyone outside the elevator with extremely cold eyes, scaring them so much that they dared not say a word.
There are only three floors in the basement. After the elevator arrived at its destination and opened the door, Jing Ke started running with his arms waving.
After using iris recognition to open his own private laboratory and the safe, Jing Ke found that all ten medicines inside had been taken away. He turned around and grabbed the assistant who hurried over.
"Director, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with the experiment?" The assistant who was grabbed by the collar was very flustered and asked in a panic.
"Today, who came, Bai Xiaohui, where is he?" Jing Ke tried hard to control her emotions, but her physical hardware was not strong enough. When it came to non-professional areas, she could only express her ideas in this intermittent way.
It is precisely because of this physical defect that Jing Ke presents himself to the outside world as someone who doesn't like to talk and refuses to communicate.
"Director, are you asking about the base commander? The base commander came here half an hour ago and said he was looking for you. After discovering that you were not in the laboratory, he asked me if I had seen General Chu..." the assistant said tremblingly.
Jing Ke frowned, "Then, where are the people?"
"I said I haven't seen General Chu, and General Chu was injured while on a mission some time ago. It's more likely that General Chu is in the hospital or recuperating at home rather than at the research institute."
The assistant had never seen Jing Ke like this, so he blurted out everything he knew.
"Then the base commander said he didn't find her at the hospital or General Chu's home. When he asked other people, he heard that General Chu was injured and walking towards the research institute, so that's why he came here."
The assistant swallowed. "Then the base commander said if it wasn't here, he'd look elsewhere. After that, I don't know."
"Half an hour ago?" Jing Ke asked, wondering if there was any place on the third underground floor that was suitable for injecting the medicine.
"Yes, that's what happened half an hour ago." The assistant nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Which area is empty right now?" Jing Ke asked.
When doing research, she is always very focused and only issues tasks to her subordinates. As long as she can see the results on time, she will not interfere with other matters and leave them to the deputy director and assistant to handle.
"It's 7:30 in the morning, which is lunch time for most people. The laboratories in the north area should be empty." said the assistant.
North District? Jing Ke found the specific location in her memory. After letting go of her assistant's hand, she stumbled towards the North District.
There was no way. Although Jing Ke had extremely high medical talent, his body was really disappointing. He only ran a few hundred meters and felt like he was about to faint.
-
On the other side, Chu Ci woke up when he was injected with the first dose of medicine.
But since she had been injected with muscle relaxant in advance, all she could do was to push her eyelids open with great effort to see clearly who had injected her with the drug.
Chu Ci opened his mouth weakly, not even having the strength to shout out the culprit's name.
"Oh, our General Chu is awake! You're really alert, waking up so quickly. The medicine I had someone give you is enough to put an elephant in a coma for three days and three nights."
Bai Xiaohui's face appeared in Chu Ci's sight, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"What's wrong, General Chu, are you wondering why you are here and why I am here?" Bai Xiaohui said with an indescribable pleasure in his eyes.
"Don't think about it. I'll tell you the answer directly. You are here because you were betrayed by your good subordinate. He chose to surrender to me and secretly injected a muscle relaxant and anesthetic into your body."
"As for why I am here, of course it is to sincerely invite our selfless General Chu to experiment with the latest batch of medicines that have been developed." Bai Xiaohui said.
The latest batch of drugs being researched?
Because he was injected with too many drugs, Chu Ci's thinking was still slowed down even though he was an evolver. It took him several seconds to remember what the so-called latest drug was.
That is the drug that Bai Xiaohui advocates can play a key role in the evolution of all mankind. Jing Ke, a medical genius who is only 23 years old, serves as the main researcher. He uses various technologies to extract the components in the virus that can cause humans to mutate positively, and then replicates them in batches to become the so-called evolutionary drug.
As the name suggests, the biggest function of the evolution potion is to transform humans from mutants into evolvers.
After this proposition was put forward, it gained support from almost all mutants and opposition from evolutionists.
The reason for the two people's completely opposite attitudes is easy to guess. It's nothing more than one wants to become stronger and the other doesn't want his status to be lowered.
Chu Ci remembered that when she expressed her opinion, she chose to support Bai Xiaohui's proposal because she didn't want to see the already small number of people die from the alien virus.
During that period, he was ambushed by some evolvers because he expressed support for Bai Xiaohui. Although he was not fatally injured, he lost a lot of blood.
As for later, it seems that the children born from the union between the evolved people are the same as the children born from other mutants.
The newborns of both can only resist the alien viruses in the air. Not only do they show no signs of awakening superpowers, they are not even mutants, but just ordinary people.
That's why the evolvers slowly compromised and, for the sake of their offspring, chose to support Bai Xiaohui's proposal.
Chu Ci believed that this was the likely course of events. She did not deny that she and Bai Xiaohui were political rivals, with many disagreements.
But when faced with an important decision, I didn't do it to contradict him or go against him. The decision I made was definitely in line with the majority, so why would Bai Xiaohui do that to me?
"General Chu looks very confused. What are you confused about?" Bai Xiaohui asked with narrowed eyes, while raising his watch to check the time.
I have already asked clearly that the drug takes effect in three minutes. As long as the injection is completed, it will be possible to tell in three minutes whether it is a positive mutation or a failed mutation.
Bai Xiaohui's gaze fell on Chu Ci, who was lying on a special bed and was imprisoned. When he saw that her skin was still a healthy wheat color, his eyes dimmed slightly.
Tsk, is it actually a positive mutation? Chu Ci's luck is really good, she didn't encounter it even with a one in four chance.
Bai Xiaohui slowly picked up the second reagent, opened it, and pierced Chu Ci's blood vessel without hesitation, pushing the medicine in at an extremely fast speed.
"General Chu, you're not wondering why I injected you with the drug, are you?" Bai Xiaohui chuckled. "Of course I did it to destroy you. Do you know how much trouble you and your diehard followers have caused me?"
Bai Xiaohui said, raising his watch to look at the time again, expecting to see Chu Ci's failed mutation and becoming a zombie in the next second.
Three minutes later, Bai Xiaohui used up the third potion with an expressionless face.
"If you still can't figure it out, then I'll tell you a little bit." Bai Xiaohui looked down at Chu Ci, and when he saw that she had no ability to resist in front of him, his mood became better again.
"You're the former base commander, and I'm the current one. Our positions are naturally opposed," Bai Xiaohui said. "Not to mention you have such a high reputation within Base One. If it weren't for the genius I brought back who successfully developed the purification potion with my help, how could I have gotten the top job?"
Chu Ci didn't say anything, but she found that with the infusion of the medicine, the strength in her body seemed to become fuller. She went from being able to only open her eyelids to being able to slightly shake her fingers.
"It was clearly me who proposed the idea of helping all of humanity evolve, but why are those people celebrating your statement? Where does this put me, the person who proposed it, in the same position? Who is the base commander, anyway?"
As Bai Xiaohui spoke, he couldn't help but recall what had happened before. He was the one who sought benefits for the mutants, so why weren't they grateful to him, but instead cared about her because Chu Ci was assassinated?
Chu Ci saw that Bai Xiaohui's face became ferocious for a moment. After he raised his wrist to check the time, he injected himself with another medicine with a dark face.
This should be the fourth potion, right?
If I remember correctly, the function of the evolution potion is to turn ordinary people and mutants into evolved people. Why did Bai Xiaohui inject himself with this potion?
She had already been tied up and injected with drugs. Even if Chu Ci's brain was slow, she would not think that Bai Xiaohui gave her the drugs for his own good.
After eliminating one wrong answer, there seems to be only one answer left.
That is, injecting this undisclosed semi-finished drug will result in two results. One is a successful positive mutation to become an evolver, and the other is a failed mutation to become a zombie or a monster.
Is Bai Xiaohui turning himself into a zombie and a monster by constantly injecting himself with semi-finished potions?
"Tsk, General Chu is really lucky. He has already used up four potions, and he is still a human." Bai Xiaohui said, and there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Chu Ci found that she could now move her wrists slightly, and if she wanted to, her throat could probably make some sound.
But Chu Ci did not act rashly. She was worried that if she spoke rashly, it would hasten her own death, or even drive Bai Xiaohui so far that he would do whatever it took to get rid of her.
Not to mention that the effect of the muscle relaxant has not yet worn off. If she turns against him now, she will definitely be the loser.
When Bai Xiaohui finished the fifth dose of potion, he kept staring at his watch for three minutes without saying a word.
Failed again? Is Chu Ci really that lucky?
Bai Xiaohui's expression became ferocious for a moment. This time he directly broke open the two potions and injected them in one breath.
A strong sense of discomfort swept over Chu Ci's voice, making her frown, but what followed was her arm being able to clench into a fist and straighten it.
"Bai Xiaohui, are you jealous of me?" Chu Ci said with pretended effort.
"What, General Chu, are you only realizing this now? Have you forgotten that I was the one who advocated the establishment of Base No. 1 in the first place? You were only elected as the base commander because of your powerful superpowers at the time."
Bai Xiaohui's face turned grim once again. "The position of base commander was originally mine, but I exhausted all my efforts to win it back."
"But who would have known that after I worked so hard to regain the position of base commander, those idiots would still insist on following your lead, putting me in an awkward position and making me a laughing stock." Bai Xiaohui pinched Chu Ci's chin hard and spoke word by word.
After seeing the unhealthy blood red in Chu Ci's eyes, Bai Xiaohui grinned and slowly released Chu Ci's jaw.
"General Chu, you still don't know what drug you were injected with. Then let me explain it to you so that you can die with a clearer understanding."
Bai Xiaohui picked up the remaining three potions and played with them slowly in his hands. "These are the latest potions developed by our medical geniuses. The results of animal tests have been very good. There is a 75% probability that the recipient will become an Evolved."
"If this potion is used on you, General Chu, you will have the same chance of becoming stronger." Bai Xiaohui said with a smile, "General Chu, this potion should be very useful for you who are pursuing strength, right?"
"The remaining 25% means that the mutation failed and they became monsters?" Chu Ci asked with difficulty, his mind couldn't help but become a little dazed.
"Bingo, by the way, General Chu is really a genius. He can even guess this." Bai Xiaohui said sarcastically. After seeing that only local changes occurred in Chu Ci's body, he added another potion.
"General Chu, do you want to know who betrayed you and lost the medicine you were supposed to inject?" Bai Xiaohui asked.
Chu Ci did not speak, but tried to mobilize the supernatural powers in his body, trying to resist the erosion of his brain by the drug.
"Forget it, I'll tell you directly. It's Gu Hua, the person you almost risked your life to save." Bai Xiaohui said. After seeing the surprise in Chu Ci's eyes, the smile on his lips deepened.
"Are you wondering? Why did he betray you even though you saved him?" Bai Xiaohui said. After noticing that Chu Ci's pupils had begun to change color, he excitedly added another potion.
"Because you cut off his arm, making him feel like a useless person."
"Isn't it ridiculous? Even I know you cut off his arm to save him, but he couldn't figure it out. When he heard me say that a large dose of purification potion was all that was needed to expel the poison, he believed me and even turned to me. I want you to have a taste of the pain of having your arm cut off, too."
Chu Ci's consciousness began to become confused. He only had time to see Bai Xiaohui inject the last dose of medicine into his body, and then everything went black.
"Gu Hua, does he think you will only cut off my arm?" asked Chu Ci, who had lost his vision.
From an angle she couldn't see, crimson blood vessels slowly emerged on her skin, then turned black little by little.
His originally wheat-colored skin began to turn a grayish-black color, a sign of a monster. The muscles beneath his skin began to move abnormally, as if something was hidden within, ready to burst out at any moment.
"Idiot, are you still willing to trust Gu Hua? He knows the grudge between us best. How could he not know what I will do to you?" Bai Xiaohui laughed after seeing the mutating human body.
Picking up the large dose of relaxant that had been prepared long ago, Bai Xiaohui directly inserted the large needle into Chu Ci's lower abdomen and injected an amount that could kill ten elephants in one breath.
Chu Ci's mind became more and more distracted. He only heard the electronic sound of "Verification passed, starting" when Bai Xiaohui was laughing wildly, followed by a slightly unfamiliar voice.
"What are you doing here!" Jing Ke rushed in panting, and just happened to see Bai Xiaohui injecting Chu Ci with a muscle relaxant.
When Bai Xiaohui saw Jing Ke, who shouldn't be here, appear in front of him, his first reaction was to drop the syringe in his hand.
"Jing Ke, it's dangerous, don't come over!" Fortunately, Bai Xiaohui had already prepared countermeasures, so he adjusted his facial expression in time and looked at Jing Ke seriously.
"After Chu Ci learned from me that you had developed the first batch of evolutionary potions, he left the hospital and came to the research institute. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news."
"But I was still late. When I arrived, I saw Chu Ci injecting all the evolution potions into his body."
After seeing that there were other people rushing in, Bai Xiaohui had to temporarily give up the idea of killing to silence the witnesses and continue acting.
"It's all my fault. I only told Chu Ci that there's a three-quarter chance that injecting your newly developed potion will increase his strength. I didn't tell Chu Ci that there's a one-quarter chance that the mutation will fail and he'll turn into a monster."
Bai Xiaohui's face showed a hint of annoyance. "In a hurry, I could only temporarily restrain Chu Ci and tie her up. In order to calm her down, I had to inject her with a muscle relaxant."
This was the speech Bai Xiaohui had prepared long ago, so he didn't need any time to think and could say it immediately.
However, Jing Ke's appearance forced Bai Xiaohui's second half of the plan to fail, and he could only accept this unsatisfactory result.
According to Bai Xiaohui's original plan, after the muscle relaxant took full effect, he would untie Chu Ci's restraints, and then hide and wait for the researchers from the North District to return.
By that time, Chu Ci must have turned into a complete monster. After smelling the smell of flesh and blood, his first reaction must be to eat them.
After the researchers suffer casualties, it will be time for Bai Xiaohui to appear. He will appear as a savior and kill this monster, whose identity cannot be identified, quickly and efficiently.
In this way, when Chu Ci's identity is investigated, Bai Xiaohui can not only stand on the moral high ground, but also destroy the image Chu Ci has established in Base No. 1, and cause her loyal subordinates to be criticized and withdraw from those key positions.
If everything goes well, Base No. 1 will become a place where Bai Xiaohui has the final say.
If Jing Ke really developed the so-called evolution potion, perhaps Bai Xiaohui could successfully merge all the bases and stand at the top of the pyramid of power.
"This, this is General Chu? Why is General Chu here?"
"General Chu turned into a monster? This is impossible. General Chu is an evolver. Why would she inject herself with the potion?"
"No, General Chu wouldn't do that. She's already the strongest evolver. Someone must be trying to frame General Chu!"
"Captain, are you okay? Put on your coat quickly. It's cold here. And put on your shoes."
Amidst the doubts and questions, Jing Pingping, who ran in in casual clothes, looked a little out of place.
Jing Pingping completely ignored the monster lying on the hospital bed, first put the coat on Jing Ke, and then asked her to lift her feet to put on her shoes.
Before Jing Ke could react, she habitually opened her arms to put on her coat, and then raised her feet one on each side to let Jing Pingping put on the warm cotton boots.
"Sister Pingping, Bai Xiaohui stole my potion." Jing Ke regained his composure very quickly and looked at the person who had watched him grow up and had been taking care of his daily life.
That’s right, in this world, Jing Ke has relatives, Jing Pingping is her blood relative, her aunt.
Don’t worry about why Jing Ke has the same surname as her aunt. The reason is because Jing Ke has her mother’s surname. There has never been a so-called father in her life.
As for why Jing Ke doesn't call her "Auntie", it all starts with the fact that they are less than ten years apart in age.
"Jing Ke, you must have misunderstood. It wasn't me who stole your potion. It was Chu Ci who stole your potion, and then she used it on herself." Jing Ke's words made Bai Xiaohui break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time he was thinking if he had missed anything.
Originally, for an important place like a research institute, real-time monitoring is essential.
But Jing Ke hates the feeling of being monitored, so there is no surveillance in her main living area and activity venues.
For example, Jing Ke’s room and her own laboratory do not have any surveillance equipment.
After thinking about this, Bai Xiaohui immediately calmed down. After all, Chu Ci's transformation into a monster was a fact that was set in stone. And he was the current base commander. As long as he could appease Jing Ke, then whatever he said would become the truth.
"Director, when did you develop this medicine?" the assistant who came over asked in a slow voice.
Although the assistant was grabbed by the collar and questioned by Jing Ke just now, he was not angry about it. Instead, he blamed it on the loss of the medicine.
The director lost his mind and became different from usual. It must be because he found out that the medicine he had worked so hard to research was stolen, so he became so uncalm!
You asked the assistant why he was so devoted to Jing Ke?
Of course, this was because everyone in the institute knew very well that the purification agent was developed by Jing Ke and his team. Jing Ke played 99% of the role, and the remaining team was responsible for 1% of the effort.
The researchers at the institute were mostly mutants. The purification potion was a lifesaver for mutants, so Jing Ke, who developed it and insisted on selling it at cost, was naturally their and their families' savior.
Regardless of how other people outside were brainwashed by the words, everyone in the institute stood firmly behind Jing Ke, and Jing Ke's attitude was their attitude.
"Last night, the research was successful, and I only told Bai Xiaohui." Jing Ke said, walking forward step by step.
"Why did you steal my potion?" Jing Ke questioned Bai Xiaohui.
Bai Xiaohui stepped back subconsciously. He had anticipated many unexpected situations, including but not limited to Chu Ci still retaining some rationality and Chu Ci's diehard fans rushing over at the last moment.
But Bai Xiaohui never expected that Jing Ke, who usually focused on research and turned a deaf ear to the outside world, would appear in the laboratory in the North District in his current appearance, and he never expected that Jing Ke would question him.
"I, I really didn't take the potion. Jing Ke, calm down. Did someone cheat you?" Bai Xiaohui couldn't help but frown.
Killing someone to silence them in front of so many people would definitely not work, but how could he convince Jing Ke to trust him?
"Jing Ke, think carefully, does Chu Ci pay much attention to improving her strength? If she knew that the potion can make the evolvers stronger, she would not miss this opportunity, right?" Bai Xiaohui explained in a slightly embarrassed manner, with more and more cold sweat on his back.
"I admit that I did something wrong. When I received your message, I immediately shared it with Chu Ci. I have a record of it on my phone. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. I forwarded it to the other party shortly after I saw it."
Bai Xiaohui racked his brains to prove his innocence. In order for the plan to go smoothly, he also made a lot of preparations to make the statement he compiled in advance flawless.
"Jing Ke, I know the medicine is very important to you, but the most urgent thing now is to check Chu Ci's condition and see if this process can be reversed." Bai Xiaohui said.
Seeing that Jing Ke's attention was diverted to Chu Ci who was tied to a special bed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jing Ke really wanted to put the blame directly on Bai Xiaohui, then pour the potion into his mouth, so that he could also feel what it felt like to turn into a monster while awake.
But when Jing Ke's gaze fell on Chu Ci, her anger turned into regret and unwillingness.
It was just a little bit, just a little bit. If I had woken up a little earlier and ran a little faster, maybe I could have stopped him.
There was no need for me to go to the safe to check the medicine. I should have rushed to the laboratory in the north area as soon as possible and stopped Bai Xiaohui.
Jing Ke couldn't yell out loudly, so the only way she could express her dissatisfaction was to clench her fists and slam them on the operating table beside her, making her hands red and swollen.
"Director, don't hurt yourself, it will hurt me." Jing Pingping immediately held Jing Ke's hand and blew on it with great heartache.
"That's your fault too." Jing Ke looked at Bai Xiaohui and said word by word, "It's all because of you that Chu Ci became like this. I don't trust you. Where you are, there is no me."
The expression on Bai Xiaohui's face gradually became terrified, and he opened his mouth trying to defend himself.
"Sister Pingping, I don't want to see him. Please help me bring Chu Ci back to my laboratory." Jing Ke said, grabbing the corner of Jing Pingping's clothes.
"Come and help, send General Chu to the director's laboratory. Also, kick out anyone the director doesn't welcome, and tell the people outside what you just said." Jing Pingping said, her eyes filled with murderous intent locking on Bai Xiaohui.
After realizing that Jing Pingping was also an extremely powerful evolver, Bai Xiaohui had no choice but to suppress the idea of killing everyone to silence them.
"Jing Ke, this is all a misunderstanding. I know it's hard for you to accept the fact that your experiment failed. Let's calm down first, and then we can sit down and talk slowly."
Seeing that his forceful approach didn't work, Bai Xiaohui had no choice but to take a step back and temporarily leave the research institute, which was no longer his home ground.
Jing Ke didn't say anything. He glanced at the ten empty potions on the ground, then looked at his assistant.
"Pick it up, check the fingerprints, and then publish the fingerprints." Jing Ke said calmly.
Bai Xiaohui, who had already walked to the door, widened his eyes. He never expected that Jing Ke would choose to track fingerprints.
Forget it, taking action now is a bad idea. As long as I can control the situation outside, a small research institute should not cause much trouble.
Bai Xiaohui's eyes became obscure and difficult to understand. It was obvious that his mind was full of calculations.
It is estimated that he will take the initiative and release the so-called truth first, and then put the blame on Jing Ke for the failure of drug research and development, which led to the misunderstanding caused by the excitement.
Jing Ke could guess with her eyes closed what Bai Xiaohui would do after leaving, but she didn't have time to care about it now. Instead, she moved with the special bed and returned to her laboratory.
"Everyone, get out, everyone, who is not involved." Jing Ke said, and began to use various physical examination equipment on Chu Ci, who had not breathed or had a heartbeat for a long time.
The researchers and guards looked at each other in bewilderment. In the end, only Jing Pingping was left in the laboratory, and everyone else evacuated obediently.
Jing Ke glanced at Jing Pingping, and after thinking that she often accompanied him in the laboratory, he acquiesced to her presence and concentrated on examining Chu Ci's body with instruments.
Ten times the dose of muscle relaxant can have a certain effect even on monsters.
For example, Chu Ci now, her eyes have turned into a slightly turbid blood red. Although they are moving slightly, her alienated body is still unable to move.
No breathing, no heartbeat, and low body temperature.
What flows in the blood vessels is no longer bright red blood, but a dark red liquid with a fishy smell.
Jing Ke picked up a small flashlight and shone it on Chu Ci's eyes. When she found that the other party's pupils had contracted, she quickly took a pen and wrote it down.
In order to observe the changes in Chu Ci's body more conveniently, Jing Ke untied all the restraints on her after making sure she was still unable to move.
Then Jing Ke unbuttoned Chu Ci's shirt, put his hands on the gray-black skin, and began to test the elasticity of the skin and the internal organs wrapped in the ribs.
There was nothing wrong with the skin on the lower abdomen, but Jing Ke made some unusual discoveries about the muscle groups near the wrists and ankles.
It seems like there is something hidden in the muscles, ready to move. As soon as the effect of the muscle relaxant wears off, the thing hidden inside will break out directly.
After a series of examinations, Chu Ci, who could only move his eyeballs, was now able to raise his palms.
Seeing this, Jing Ke put his hand to Chu Ci's mouth, trying to test whether she had the desire to eat.
I don’t know if it’s because the effect of the muscle relaxant hasn’t worn off, or because Jing Ke’s arms are so thin that she doesn’t like them, but Chu Ci didn’t move at all.
After thinking for a while, Jing Ke found a piece of vacuum-packed raw meat, opened the package and handed it to Chu Ci's mouth.
This time Chu Ci reacted. The most primitive desire to eat drove her to open and close her mouth at an extremely slow speed, revealing her four sharp fangs.
Jing Ke did not feed the fish rashly, but recorded the detailed data in a notebook. Then he looked at the information he had collected from his previous research on evolutionary potions, wondering if it could be further improved and purified.
Jing Ke's outstanding talent allowed her to guess Chu Ci's current condition. Her body had undergone positive mutations during the previous injections, which might have enhanced her abilities or given her other abilities.
But the human body's ability to withstand stress is ultimately limited. The continuous addition of drugs made Chu Ci's body overwhelmed, and finally turned into a negative mutation of excessiveness.
The good news is that Chu Ci's current condition is different from the zombies outside. If we can find a way to make her continue to mutate positively, she may slowly regain her sanity and then become an absolutely strong person.
The bad news was that Chu Ci's mind had been largely eroded by the virus, leaving only a pitiful amount of rationality. He could only sense things like hunger and the desire to eat, or the desire to run away when he felt danger.
"Chief, she is about to wake up. It's very dangerous. Don't get any closer." Jing Pingping said, grabbing Jing Ke's wrist and pulling her towards her.
Jing Ke blinked, and after pulling herself away from the obscure information, her gaze slowly fell on Jing Pingping.
Jing Pingping, my blood-related aunt, was only nine years older than me, but she had taken care of everything for me since I was six years old.
That’s right, Jing Pingping is Jing Ke, whom she took care of while attending school. Not only did she cultivate a little genius, but she also relied on six-figure start-up capital to become a leading entrepreneur before the end of the world.
Jing Ke searched through the past memories of his original body fragments and roughly pieced together the life stories of Jing Pingping and himself.
Jing Ke's mother's IQ was much higher than that of ordinary people, but due to her poor family background, her talent was buried for a long time. It was not until she was in college that she was discovered by her tutor and then went abroad for further studies.
Jing Pingping was born after Jing Ke's mother went abroad. Originally, Jing Pingping's parents wanted to have a son, but the gender of the baby in the belly was not something they could decide.
Jing Pingping's childhood was not happy, but fortunately Jing Ke's mother cared about her sister very much. After learning about her situation, she immediately used money to shut her parents' mouths and took her sister to live with her.
Jing Pingping has a very good relationship with her sister. Because she has an open-minded sister, Jing Pingping's life after the age of four is no different from that of a little princess.
To another extent, Jing Pingping was actually raised by Jing Ke's mother as her own child.
But things soon took a turn. Jing Ke's mother's vision in choosing boyfriends was not very good. When the two decided to settle down, Jing Ke's mother discovered that her boyfriend was a pedophile.
Fortunately, Jing Ke's mother reacted quickly enough, kicked her boyfriend away, and sent him to the police station, thus avoiding tragedy.
Then, in order to protect her sister from being bullied, Jing Ke's mother went abroad to select a sperm with high IQ and gave birth to a child she liked.
This child is Jing Ke.
Although Jing Ke is a mixed-race, he usually looks like he has black hair and black eyes. Only when exposed to strong light will his eyes appear amber for a short time.
Just like that, nine-year-old Jing Pingping suddenly became an aunt, but Jing Ke's mother raised both of them as her own children, so she didn't particularly care about how they addressed each other.
Unfortunately, God is jealous of talented people. Jing Ke’s mother was eventually killed in a premeditated car accident.
The prisoner was the scumbag ex-boyfriend who had been imprisoned. Although the scumbag ex-boyfriend was finally sentenced to life imprisonment, Jing Ke's mother could never come back.
The half-grown Jing Pingping took all the responsibility on herself, and worked hard to go to school while taking care of Jing Ke, and raised him up in this way.
-
"I know that Sister Pingping, Chu Ci, was harmed by Bai Xiaohui. I want to save her." Jing Ke said, with obvious determination in his tone.
Jing Pingping didn't say anything. After confirming Chu Ci's condition again and again, she let Jing Ke go.
There was very little Jing Ke could do now. He could only take out the purification agent he had developed before and tentatively inject some of it into Chu Ci.
The good news is that the purification potion has some effect on Chu Ci. At least around the injection site, the originally gray-black skin looks much healthier.
The bad news is that the purification potion only worked for three minutes before the skin returned to its original gray-black color, and Chu Ci's condition became violent.
Seeing that the effect of the muscle relaxant was about to wear off, Jing Ke could only hurry to take out the special sedative that he had accidentally researched before from his safe, and estimated the dosage and injected it into Chu Ci's body.
"Sister Pingping, I want to eat something." After working for three or four hours, Jing Ke looked up at Jing Pingping.
"Okay, I'll go cook. If you need anything, call me." Jing Pingping checked Chu Ci's condition before leaving. After making sure that he would not recover within half an hour, she went to the living area on the first floor.
After the laboratory door was closed, Jing Ke rubbed his face with his hands, remembering the supernatural power that he had put aside for a long time. He held Chu Ci's hand, which had grown sharp nails, and slowly interlocked their fingers.
Hungry, hungry, hungry, so hungry, so hungry, so hungry.
Chu Ci's head couldn't carry too much information, and the word "hungry" basically kept coming back to him.
After sensing Chu Ci's thoughts, Jing Ke tried hard to concentrate and tried to change Chu Ci's mind so that she would no longer be obsessed with the word "hungry".
Jing Ke had good intentions, but her supernatural powers, which had never been seriously trained or improved, did not play any role. She could only hear Chu Ci shouting "hungry, hungry, hungry". After listening to it for a long time, Jing Ke even became drowsy.
Fortunately, Jing Pingping had returned with freshly cooked meals at this time. When she saw the frail Jing Ke and Chu Ci, who had turned into a monster, holding hands, the expression on her face almost broke.
Seeing this, Jing Ke let go of Chu Ci's hand and obediently went to wash her hands and prepare to eat.
"Sister Pingping, can I feed Chu Ci?" After taking two mouthfuls of white rice from the bowl, Jing Ke's gaze fell on Chu Ci again.
Compared to Jing Ke, who looked like a sickly beauty with pale skin and tender flesh and didn't seem to have much flesh on her, Chu Ci, who had turned into a half-zombie, half-monster, looked like a huge lump.
Admittedly, the adjective "lump" wasn't quite right, but while the sedative was taking effect, she had no real ability to resist. Her body, due to the changes and the fact she was lying in bed, looked like a piece of unidentified material from a distance.
"Okay, next time I'll cook three servings of food and send them over." Jing Pingping said.
As long as Jing Ke's safety is ensured, Jing Pingping will not refuse any of Jing Ke's requests, just as Jing Ke's mother did not refuse her request.
After thinking about what he had just heard, Jing Ke did not waste any time and quickly picked up the fried pork slices that Jing Pingping had made for him and placed them in front of Chu Ci.
Chu Ci turned his head slightly, and after realizing that it was food, he slowly opened his mouth, revealing his sharp fangs.
Jing Ke took it and blew on it. After making sure the temperature was correct, he let go of the chopsticks and let the meat slice fall freely into Chu Ci's mouth.
After seeing the other party chewing, Jing Ke once again interlocked her fingers with Chu Ci, trying to sense her thoughts.
Eat, meat, eat, meat, hungry, hungry.
Seeing that Chu Ci did not reject the cooked food, Jing Ke repeated the previous action and fed two-thirds of the meat slices into Chu Ci's mouth.
There were also some vegetables mixed in, but judging from Chu Ci's feedback, he didn't seem to like the taste of vegetables very much, and his chewing speed also slowed down.
In this way, Jing Ke fed Chu Ci while filling her own stomach.
When Jing Ke washed her hands and was about to recheck Chu Ci's physical indicators to compare before and after, the assistant knocked on the door from outside.
Jing Ke frowned slightly, but still walked over and opened the door.
"Director, General Chu's subordinates want to see her. There are 32 of them in total and they have been waiting at the door of the institute for a long time." The assistant started reporting without waiting for Jing Ke to ask.
"Captain Bai made an announcement before us, stating that General Chu had been injected with the wrong drug, causing a physical mutation. He is currently under your control."
"We followed your instructions and publicized your words, which caused a significant public outcry. However, Base Commander Bai kept saying there was a misunderstanding and stressed that it would be resolved soon. So, while there was a lot of discussion within the base, it didn't cause a major uprising."
The assistant paused and took three seconds to think if there was anything he had missed.
"General Chu's 32 subordinates have been waiting for about two hours, but at the beginning they were stopped by Commander Bai's men, so we didn't receive any notification." The assistant quickly added.
"Director, do you want to let them in? They are all General Chu's confidants." The assistant asked in a low voice.
Jing Ke frowned and stretched out his hand, "Cellphone."
The assistant quickly took out his cell phone and placed it respectfully in Jing Ke's hand.
Jing Ke directly turned on the camera and adjusted it to recording mode. He filmed Chu Ci from far to near in one shot, and also took a close-up of her red eyes, gray-black skin, extra fangs and claws.
After completing a one-minute video recording, Jing Ke handed the phone to the assistant and said, "Give it to them. Then, I need nail clippers, no, special materials, scissors."
"I understand. I'll go get you some scissors made of special materials, the kind that can cut through iron like mud." The assistant understood Jing Ke's meaning immediately and rushed out after taking his phone.
Jing Ke did not follow up on how the assistant appeased the thirty-two loyal subordinates of Chu Ci. After she took the scissors from the assistant, she put on gloves and began to trim Chu Ci's fingernails and toenails.
After cutting off and smoothing the extremely lethal claws, Jing Ke sat next to Chu Ci and stared at her hands and feet for a long time.
After making sure that the lost part would not grow back quickly, Jing Ke injected Chu Ci with the drug in front of Jing Pingping, then asked her to leave the laboratory. He rolled up his sleeves and stripped off all the clothes on Chu Ci.
Chu Ci, who had temporarily lost most of her consciousness, felt nothing about it, but when the steaming hot towel rubbed against her thick gray-black skin, she first showed confusion, then closed her eyes directly, seeming to enjoy the process very much.
Seeing this, Jing Ke immediately stopped what he was doing, recorded his discovery, and then continued to clean Chu Ci's body with hot water.
Chu Ci was attacked while he was injured. When he was injected with the semi-finished medicine, the stitches on the wound on his back had not been removed yet, and there was a very obvious needle hole on his lower abdomen.
This was discovered by Jing Ke when she was wiping Chu Ci's body, but the original wound grew together in a twisted arc as the body became alienated. All Jing Ke could do was try to pull out the thread that could not be absorbed.
Jing Ke spent almost an hour wiping the body, and during that time she held Chu Ci's hand to feel his thoughts.
After finding nothing, Jing Ke finally realized that Chu Ci maintained some of the physiological needs of humans, such as sleeping.
Jing Ke thought this was a good discovery. The more human parts Chu Ci retained, the more chances she had to turn Chu Ci from a monster into a human again.
Chu Ci's skin looked grayish black, but it was actually not dirty. After scrubbing it, there was no change in skin color.
After staring at Chu Ci's hand for a while, Jing Ke couldn't resist her sudden curiosity and picked up Chu Ci's hand and bit the back of it.
After discovering that the skin and flesh were exceptionally thick, he even ground his teeth.
The liquid in the blood vessels smelled bad, but there was no strange smell on Chu Ci's body, and if his tongue was normal, he seemed unable to taste anything.
Jing Ke came to a strange conclusion while rinsing his mouth with water.
-
Jing Ke didn't care about how public opinion outside developed. She devoted all her time to Chu Ci and began to inject different drugs on a small scale to observe her corresponding reactions.
Before Jing Ke could finish testing the medicine he had developed, night fell.
According to common sense, the zombies' fighting ability and appetite would be greatly improved at night, so even though Jing Ke injected Chu Ci with a drug that was enough to keep her quiet for ten hours in front of Jing Pingping, she was not allowed to stay in the laboratory and sleep with Chu Ci.
Jing Pingping would never compromise on the issue of Jing Ke's safety, so Jing Ke had no choice but to take off his coat and cover Chu Ci with it, then follow Jing Pingping out of the laboratory, looking back every few steps.
In order to prevent something similar to what happened to Bai Xiaohui from happening again, he reset all the access control systems of the institute before going to bed. The elevators and laboratories that were originally open to all senior executives were now open only to himself and Jing Pingping.
Once someone breaks in forcibly, the corresponding biological and chemical weapons will directly hit the other person's face, regardless of life or death.
After a day of intensive research, Jing Ke fell asleep very quickly after taking a shower and lying on the bed.
But Jing Ke didn't seem to be dreaming. Instead, he maintained a very clear consciousness and came to a pure black space.
No, it's not completely black. There seems to be a small glowing white dot in the distance.
Jing Ke was too lazy to analyze whether this was reality or an illusion. She walked step by step towards the glowing white dot. As she moved forward, the original white dot gradually grew larger, turning into a familiar yet unfamiliar appearance to her.
"Chu Ci?" Jing Ke heard her own voice.
Chu Ci, whose body was emitting a faint light, then took action. With her eyes closed, she reached out and began to feel around.
After realizing that Chu Ci couldn't see, Jing Ke reached out and held her wrist so that she could touch him.
However, Chu Ci seemed to have only retained her hearing. Her eyes and lips were tightly closed, and she could only express herself by waving her arms laboriously.
Jing Ke understands sign language, but Chu Ci doesn't seem to understand it. She is just waving her arms according to her own feelings.
After failing to understand for the third time, Jing Ke tried to use her special abilities in this dream. When she held Chu Ci, she tried to shout and read her self-consciousness.
Cold, cold, very cold.
After successfully reading Chu Ci's consciousness, Jing Ke suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up by supporting himself on the bed.
Cold? Cold?!
Jing Ke quickly thought of Chu Ci who was left in the laboratory. It was January now, and she could only wear pajamas when there was heating in the room.
In a laboratory with no heating and a night temperature of only about 4°C, would Chu Ci feel cold with only a coat on his body?
The question is, was the dream just now a reminder from my subconscious mind, or was it that I resonated with Chu Ci's remaining will in some special way?
Jing Ke sat on the bed and thought for a while. He thought of Jing Pingping who lived next door to him, and then thought of Chu Ci who was alone in the laboratory.
After struggling for a while, Jing Ke slowed down and got up from the bed. After putting on cotton boots and a coat, he walked to the door with light steps and finally opened the door smoothly.
There was a guard on duty outside Jing Ke's room 24 hours a day. When the guard saw Jing Ke coming out, he was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask, he saw Jing Ke put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a gesture of silence.
The guard nodded, made a zipper gesture, and then followed Jing Ke silently.
The guards didn't know what the director was going to do, but they knew their duties very well, which was to protect the director's safety!
Just like that, with a bunch of people following behind him, Jing Ke successfully arrived at his laboratory on the third underground floor.
"You guys, wait outside, I'm going in." Jing Ke gave the guard a strict order, then opened the door of the laboratory and walked in alone.
