Chapter 113 Fair Trade
Someone wanted to see her, and was it conveyed through Captain Wei?
Qin Muxue put down the tools in her hands and washed her hands. She had been here for ten days. Except for eating in the canteen, she even slept here at night. She set up a bed next to the shed. When she lived alone in the apartment, she often had wild thoughts. But living here with these plants made her feel calmer.
In her spare time, she would let Baozhu and Zhenzhu out to accompany her. Baozhu's belly was getting bigger day by day, so Qin Muxue also specially customized nutritious meals for her. Dogs cannot eat too much, nor can they lack nutrition. They should eat small meals frequently to ensure the health of the baby in her belly.
After thinking about some messy things, Qin Muxue walked out of the greenhouse.
Captain Wei actually came to see her in person, "Captain, who is this important person that requires you to come to see me in person?"
Captain Wei smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you see it."
Qin Muxue looked puzzled, and Captain Wei reminded her, "Change into something cleaner."
Only then did she notice that she was dirty, her clothes were tattered, her hair was messy, and she obviously didn't look dressed up. Anyway, she had no interest in doing so, and it made no difference to her whether she dressed up or not.
Captain Wei looked at his watch and said, "I'll give you half an hour. Go take a shower and clean yourself up. At least dress neatly. People should always look forward."
Qin Muxue felt a little numb, as if many people had told her to look forward. She nodded slightly, "Okay, Captain."
After returning to the apartment, she only felt a sense of loneliness. She had not lived here for a long time and the apartment was already covered with a layer of dust. She sighed, took off her dirty clothes, took a shower, found a random piece of clean clothes to change into, and casually blew her hair dry.
As soon as Qin Muxue stepped out of the apartment building, she saw a familiar figure. The man slowly turned around. He was wearing a black windbreaker and looked as gentle as jade. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Long time no see, Qin Muxue."
"Sheng Xingyuan?" She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at the base. Her cold expression finally relaxed a little. "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story. I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have changed a lot." He couldn't help but sigh. It had been nearly a year since they last saw each other.
"School hunk, I didn't expect you would come to the base in Baihu City. What a coincidence." Thinking of the time when she saved him, it seemed like a lifetime ago.
"It's not a coincidence. I came here to see you on purpose."
"You came to see me specially?" Now it was her turn to be surprised.
"Yeah." He smiled elegantly and walked to her side like a gentleman. "I've been looking for you for a long time, and finally we meet again."
Qin Muxue finally reacted, "Are you the person Captain Wei was talking about?"
"That's right."
Qin Muxue thought he was some big shot, but it turned out to be Sheng Xingyuan. She breathed a sigh of relief, "You came to me specially to save my life? No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."
I originally thought that Captain Wei had mobilized such a large force because of something important, but I didn't expect it was just because of Sheng Xingyuan.
"Wait." Seeing that she was about to leave, Sheng Xingyuan grabbed her hand, "Not only thank you, I want to treat you to a meal."
She didn't want to socialize now, and her interest in food had become just filling her stomach. She didn't seem to be interested in Sheng Xingyuan's invitation, "Can I choose not to go?"
"For Captain Wei's sake." His humble attitude left her no room for rebuttal.
It's just a meal, Qin Muxue nodded, "Okay, it's just a meal, but first of all, I have to say that I can eat a lot. Now that supplies are scarce, I will eat ten meals."
Sheng Xingyuan chuckled and responded: "Don't even mention ten copies, a hundred copies will be no problem."
The place Sheng Xingyuan took her to was not the cafeteria they usually went to, but another small cafeteria. Only people of relatively high status could afford to eat in the small cafeteria. After coming here, Qin Muxue already felt that Sheng Xingyuan's identity must be extraordinary, and he also ordered a lot of dishes.
The two of them sat at the dining table. Sheng Xingyuan ordered more than a dozen dishes and asked her with a half-smile, "Is this enough?"
Qin Muxue asked doubtfully: "Are there only two of us?"
"To be precise, it's for you alone. Didn't you say you wanted to have enough for ten people?"
Qin Muxue looked at the table full of pickled fish, braised pork with preserved vegetables, and roast duck. She thought it was a bit too luxurious. Although she had some in her space, she knew that in a place like the base, it was a rare thing to have such treatment, and it would cost a lot of points.
Of course, since it was free, she didn't hesitate to eat it. She first pulled off a duck leg and started to eat it. "Tell me, what's the matter?" If he really wanted to say thank you, she didn't believe it.
He said bluntly: "Partly to thank you for saving my life, and partly because of you."
Qin Muxue didn't quite understand what he meant. Sheng Xingyuan took out a thick file bag and said, "You can take a look at this."
While gnawing on the duck leg, Qin Muxue looked at the information, which was about the research on the experimental subjects.
"Why are you showing me this?"
"You bought those two tubes of high-purity medicine at a high price. You are my most important experimental subject."
Qin Muxue frowned. Using the mutated potion was very risky. She used it after careful consideration. Later, she felt that the side effects were not as great as she had imagined. She gave the other tube to Manman, and both of them evolved superpowers.
"What do you mean, you mean, those two tubes of medicine were developed by you?"
"That's right. The materials used to develop this medicine are very scarce. And because of the earthquake in that area, it's very difficult to find the raw materials. But looking at your condition, I know that you are my most successful experimental subject. The medicines my mentors abroad have studied are also effective, but the side effects are very serious. You have seen that the second and third experimental subjects have serious side effects. The most important thing is that they are out of control, but you can stay sober and have little side effects. It's just greed..."
Qin Muxue finally stopped what she was doing. "If that's the case, then what are your intentions towards me? I don't have the rare materials you mentioned. I did inject your potion and evolved my abilities, but I also paid you a large sum of money at the time. I bought it."
"I just hope that you can continue to cooperate with my research. Of course, your friend, you have also seen that the old humans cannot adapt to the living conditions on Earth. The number of new humans is very small, and the number of new humans that evolve naturally is only one in a hundred thousand. If this continues, humans will become extinct sooner or later. The number of new humans is too scarce."
"Stop it. I was wondering why you treated me to so many delicious foods. It turned out to be a Hongmen Banquet. You just want me to assist you in your research, right?"
Sheng Xingyuan nodded, "I just want you to cooperate with the research. I won't hurt you."
He looked at Qin Muxue's nonchalant expression and felt that something had changed about her, yet it seemed as if she hadn't changed, because she was so arrogant that night. Perhaps this was her true face.
Qin Muxue touched her chin and said, "If you want my cooperation, that's fine. I want to know all the projects you are currently researching."
Sheng Xingyuan thought about the conditions she would propose, but he didn't expect that she would want to know about his experiments. "Are you interested in these?"
"After all, I can join your experiment. Isn't it normal to want to know more?"
In fact, she remembered the research about Shi Yan. Shi Yan said that he could travel across parallel time and space because humans had discovered a way to travel across time and space. Since Sheng Xingyuan was the main researcher of the alienated potion, he must know something about this... A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Since Shi Yan did not come to find her, she could also go to him as long as she found the right method.
"It's very interesting. I promise you." Sheng Xingyuan only thought for a moment and agreed to her conditions.
He agreed to her request so easily, which made her feel uneasy. "I still have some doubts..." Why did he only choose her?
"Your family and friends will not know anything that happened to you. They will also enjoy the best resources of the base. Everything will be properly arranged, and the research on you will not cause any harm to your body."
This was just a verbal assurance. Qin Muxue still had some doubts. After all, she had seen that An An had developed another personality because of the experiment. As for Alan, apart from being a little unruly, she had not yet seen any other side effects from him.
Qin Muxue didn't say anything else. Sheng Xingyuan didn't force her anymore. "I'll give you some time to think about it. When you've made up your mind, just let Captain Wei contact me. I'll stay here during this time."
"Okay." She nodded calmly, retreating to advance. Anyway, she knew that Sheng Xingyuan would not give up on her as an experimental subject.
“You can enjoy the food yourself or take it away.”
"I could eat it all."
Wouldn’t it be a waste if you don’t eat it? Qin Muxue finished all the food in a flash, leaving Sheng Xingyuan alone sitting there, looking at her back in surprise as she left.
She still needs to ask Manman whether or not to cooperate with Sheng Xingyuan. After all, Manman has also been involved by her.
Sheng Xingyuan sat at the dining table, watching Qin Muxue gradually walk away downstairs, "Sure enough, am I still late?"
At this time, Sang Qing hurried to the training room to work. Since what happened that day, he had been avoiding Alan and not seeing him. After being rejected several times, Alan had not appeared in front of Sang Qing for several days.
This actually made Sang Qing feel relieved. He and Alan had a mutual understanding, even though they had no similarities in interests and hobbies. But after that day, he felt that everything had changed. He could no longer look at him directly. After seeing him, he would fall into a panic state and could not do anything, so he avoided him.
Alan hasn't come to see him in the past few days, which makes him feel empty.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Su Yuqin guessed that something must have happened between them, "Sang Qing, why haven't I seen your follower for a long time?"
"Alan, he's feeling a little unwell."
"Is it because of the medicine he drank that day? In fact, this medicine is not much different from human medicine. Just let him solve it himself. He should understand this at his age! And Alan looks like a foreign guy, so he should be more open-minded..." Seeing that Sang Qing's face was getting redder and redder, "Why is your face so red? Are you sick too?"
"No." He quickly hid aside. He had been tortured badly that night. Now his whole body has not recovered yet and he still feels a dull pain. Alan is a strong guy, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable after not seeing him bothering him for a few days.
"Oh, but you guys have such a good relationship, and he suddenly didn't show up. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
What she was even more uncomfortable with were the mutated animals here. When Alan was here, they were all very well behaved, but now that he was gone, these animals became noisy again, giving her a headache.
It turned out that these animals were afraid of Alan, but they had to admit that the guy had a strong aura and was a good choice to be a guardian beast. Thinking of this, Su Yuqin began to persuade Sang Qing, "Do you want to go and see what happened to him?"
"He is strong and healthy, what could possibly happen to him?"
Although he said something against his will, Sang Qing couldn't help but worry about him. Just as Su Yuqin said, Ailan has always been strong...
And thinking about how he took care of me wholeheartedly when I was sick, I couldn't help but worry, "Then I'll take a leave..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just go over if you have something to do. You don't need to ask for leave. There's nothing wrong with these animals. I just need to watch over them. You should go and see how Alan is doing!"
"good."
When Sang Qing hurried to the apartment, he saw Alan lying on the ground, dying. He was now in the form of a wolf, lying on the ground motionless.
Sang Qing was very upset. He shouldn't have treated Alan like that just because he had a bad temper. He hurried to check on his condition.
He seemed to be really sick. Originally, when he heard footsteps from afar, he would vigilantly observe the situation around him, but now he closed his eyes tightly and did not respond no matter how Sang Qing called him.
"Ailan, Ailan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." He immediately thought of Ding Manman. Now perhaps only Manman could tell what was wrong with Ailan.
Ailan raised his head weakly, "Ah Qing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, you...you forgive me."
"I don't blame you." He only blamed himself for not thinking it through for a while. He had already lost his grandfather. If he lost Alan too, what motivation would he have to survive?
"I'll go find someone right away!"
Because of her healing ability, Manman is now helping patients in the hospital with the doctors. Her unique ability is very popular among patients, but her mental power is limited. She cannot heal everyone with her mental power. Only patients with particularly serious conditions will receive her treatment.
At first the doctors doubted whether her special ability could really cure patients, until a dying soldier was sent in. They watched with their own eyes as Manman could accurately tell the location of the bleeding in the body just by touching him, and then heal the internal injuries with her mental power. In just a few hours, the soldier recovered from the near-death state, and after a blood transfusion, he recovered completely, as if nothing had happened.
When Sang Qing rushed to the hospital to look for Manman, the nurse said, "She is very busy. She doesn't have time to deal with ordinary people like you."
Sang Qing was almost anxious to death. Fortunately, he met Qu Yanbai. After explaining the situation to him in detail, Qu Yanbai took him directly in, ignoring the nurse's obstruction.
Manman was healing a wounded person at the time. When she saw them breaking in, she felt a little dizzy for a moment. She already felt a little tired due to the long treatment, but she was still forcing herself.
"Manman, something happened to Alan, and Sang Qing came to see you specially."
Manman came back to her senses and said weakly, "I understand. Take me there right away."
A family member of a patient immediately stood in front of her and said, "Wait, my husband is not well yet, how can you leave?"
"He is no longer in danger of death, and his wounds will take some time to heal." But the family member was still adamant, "How can you treat a patient halfway? Now that an acquaintance has come to you, you immediately go to treat your acquaintance. How can this be justified! I don't care, you must heal my husband's injuries. We have spent a lot of points on this."
Manman didn't have the energy to argue with her now, "Family member, you should..."
Qu Yanbai stood in front of her. "This is not a privilege. Didn't you hear what Manman said? Your husband is no longer in danger of death. The psychic's mental power is severely depleted. If she continues to treat him, she will faint from the exhaustion of mental power. If she collapses, will you be responsible? Although psychics are stronger than ordinary people like you, they are still human, not gods."
"You superpowers are bullying me!" The woman was still not giving in. "Someone come, the superpowers are beating me up!"
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, the woman started to throw a tantrum and yell at the doctor and patients behind her.
Manman was already very annoyed. "Enough! Stop talking!" This was the first time she got so angry. "Yanbai, let's get out of here!"
She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, nor did she want Qu Yanbai to be blamed because of her, but the woman still grabbed the corner of her clothes. Ding Manman slapped her in anger, and the woman was completely stunned.
After a while, he came to his senses and shouted, "I want to file a complaint against you! You really beat people! You look down on us ordinary people!"
Manman didn't want to argue anymore, "Let's go." She dragged Qu Yanbai out of the hospital, and Sang Qing followed them anxiously.
"Manman, if, if you're not feeling well, I can find another doctor."
Manman shook her head. "It's okay. Alan is our friend, and he has a special physique. It would be better for me to take care of him."
After rushing to the apartment, Manman checked Alan and remembered what he had said before, "Has he ever had this happen before?"
"Well, every time this happens, someone will take him away, and when he appears again, he has recovered." Sang Qing explained hurriedly.
It seems that Alan's illness is not as simple as just one. He had left the last potion to Shi Yan. Now that he is sick, he can only bear the pain by himself.
"We must find a potion similar to the one that Alan had before. His mental power is disordered now. If we let him continue like this, he will explode and die."
Manman looked at Qu Yanbai, "Yanbai, try asking Captain Wei to see if you can..." After saying that, Manman fell into Qu Yanbai's arms. She was too tired these days. The side effect was sleep, and she had been sleep deprived, and her body had reached its limit.
For a moment, Qu Yanbai was so overwhelmed that he hugged Manman distressedly, "Manman is also very tired."
Alan groaned in pain from time to time, and it seemed that her condition was very bad. At this time, Qin Muxue finally appeared. Looking at Manman in Qu Yanbai's arms, she finally realized that there were still many people she needed to protect. "You go, I'll watch over here."
"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" Qin Muxue has been staying at home these days and they haven't seen her for a while.
"Of course I can. Don't worry. Manman is very important to you, and she is equally important to us. Just go find Captain Wei. I'll take care of everything here."
"Okay." Qu Yanbai gritted his teeth and went straight to Captain Wei's office.
Qin Muxue took out the spiritual spring water and asked Sang Qing to feed Ai Lan some first.
After Sang Qing fed him some, he really didn't seem to be in as much pain as before. He slowly regained his human form and leaned on Sang Qing's legs.
"I'm sending Manman back now. You keep an eye on Alan. If he's not feeling well, you can continue to give him some water. If he's in too much pain, I have some painkillers here. You can give them to him."
"Okay, thank you."
Qin Muxue first sent Manman back to her room and settled her down. Grandma Qu saw that she was in a deep sleep and looked worried. The two children also surrounded Manman and asked, "What's wrong with sister? Did sister faint?"
Qin Muxue explained: "Sister just fell asleep, you should be quiet around her and let her have a good sleep, okay?"
"good."
Then she explained to Grandma Qu: "She has used up too much mental energy. She needs time to recover. She may sleep for several days. During this time, you can feed her some of this water. Don't worry, she is just sleeping."
"Okay." She looked at Manman worriedly. "I've already told you not to make her work so hard. She can just earn the points slowly. Why do this?"
"Manman went to the hospital to see a doctor just to earn points?"
"Originally there were no missions during this period, but we are old and young here and can't help much. No matter what we buy, we have to use points. So Manman thought of going to the hospital to earn points."
"If you need anything, just take it from me. Why bother?"
"Manman said that you've been working very hard and I can't rely on you for everything. Also, you haven't been feeling well during this period, so I can't disturb you."
