Chapter 140 Flame Star Desert
The doctor had no other options. “As an obstetrician, I can only remind you this. As a friend, I can only hope that you can be more open-minded. After all, we work here and we always see a lot of wounded people. Death is inevitable.”
She was originally an obstetrician. Now that she has come to the base, there is no distinction between obstetrics and surgery. As long as one is a doctor, he or she is basically an omnipotent doctor and knows a little bit about everything.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Manman just felt that being pregnant with twins at this time was a very difficult thing, but now that she was mentally prepared, she would not give up easily.
To this end, she deliberately entered the spiritual medicine space, found a prescription for stabilizing the pregnancy, added some precious tonics to it, hoping that it would be effective after drinking the medicine. When she felt depressed, she would come to the pond in the space when there was no one around, and appreciate the scenery here, so that she could feel some tranquility in her heart and try to adjust her state.
Wu You is still worried about the selection. There are many people he knows this time, and he hopes that his relatives and friends can also be selected, but he is afraid that others will say that he is biased. After all, he is still a half-grown child, and although he knows a lot, he is still not as good as an adult in handling such matters.
But when he saw that there were many hard-working people in the team he was training, he was also very happy.
After just one day, he found that these women seemed to treat him as their son. Although they would say a few teasing words, most of them were just jokes and they were just teasing him, but he didn't mind.
After witnessing the cruelty of the battlefield, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to try his best to protect the base and become a psychic as powerful as Qu Yanbai and Qin Muxue. His superpowers have also improved greatly now. At least he did not hold back when he went to the battlefield before. Now he can be considered a little hero.
This group of women started to make a fuss, saying that they wanted to see how strong Wu You was.
"Look at you, you're still a half-grown kid. We've heard about the Superpower Boys Team before, but I wonder what your strength is? Show us something?"
He could only politely refuse, "It's training time now, we can't waste time casually, everyone should just train hard."
These women rarely have the opportunity to see a psychic use their superpowers, and they also want to see how powerful Explosion's superpowers are, and now everyone has a chance to get the potion.
"Captain, just set an example for us and give us some encouragement!" someone suggested.
While Wu You was still hesitating, his teammates next to him could not resist his persuasion and had already started to use their special powers.
His special ability is to fuse all objects. After moving a stone, he said, "You can touch it and see if it is a real stone."
One of the ladies volunteered to touch the stone and found that it was indeed a huge stone with no tricks.
The boy closed his eyes and placed his hand on the stone. Everyone watched as the stone melted away, and they were so surprised that they were speechless for a long time.
“This is too amazing!”
"No wonder everyone is scrambling to become a superpower. If I had such superpowers, who could mess with me?"
"It's a pity you didn't."
Wu You cleared his throat and said loudly: "Sisters and aunts, even if you have superpowers, you must remember that superpowers cannot be used indiscriminately. In addition to protecting yourself and dealing with the enemy, you cannot kill innocent people. We are lucky to survive in this base. You must know that the survivors outside are basically killed by rioters. Now we have a quota in our hands, and we will try our best to give priority to people with good character and stable personality. It is not like you say that it can be used casually."
After this, everyone was speechless. "Captain, you are so awesome, why don't you show us one too?"
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, one of the women started to make a fuss again.
Wu You did not refuse this time. Looking at a huge rock in the distance, he just glanced at it, and the rock exploded and broke into pieces.
To him, this seemed like a very simple thing. If this trick was used on humans, they would most likely be fried into a meat paste.
Now everyone was convinced, and the few who disobeyed orders no longer had the courage to resist. These young men became like gods in their hearts.
Qin Jia, who was standing by, had her nails digging into her flesh. If she had such a powerful ability, she could have easily saved Xia Qiaoyun and wouldn't have to watch her die in front of her.
Since they want to choose someone with good physical fitness and good character, she will definitely not be chosen. Before, when she went to ask Manman for help, that guy actually looked at her with such eyes, which made her very unhappy. One day when she has super powers, she will definitely trample all those who look down on her under her feet.
Even if this quota was not allocated to her, she had other ways to get it. Thinking of this, she became proud.
Li Cheng never used his supernatural powers in front of her except at critical moments, but no matter what, she was determined to win.
"I hope you can remember what I said. Superpowers are not used to kill compatriots. They are used to protect yourself and resist enemy invasion. And having superpowers does not mean you have a talisman. In the last battle, we lost many superpower users. They were at the forefront of the team and were supposed to lead the charge."
At this point, they fell silent again. Many of the women's husbands and sons were soldiers and had died in the previous battle, so everything was not that easy.
Where there is loss, there is gain. If you want to obtain superpowers, it means that the probability of dying on the battlefield is greater.
Wu You's father Wu Yong is a worker. Now all work in the factory has stopped. Most of the male workers are now building ships.
Several ships were damaged in the last battle. Hearing that there would be a flood later, they are working non-stop to build ships. They have built two ships now, but the number is still far from enough.
Wu Yong is the supervisor here. Originally, he didn't have to join in the shipbuilding, but he didn't want to be lazy, so he joined the shipbuilding team.
According to the current number of people in the base, at least three ships need to be built. This is a matter of life and death, so no one dares to relax for a moment. Moreover, as overtime workers, they can get a lot of material compensation.
While working non-stop here, Wu Yong went to check the inspection of the newly built ship. All new ships had to be inspected. During the inspection, a worker discovered that there was a leak somewhere on the ship, which attracted their attention.
"Supervisor Wu, this steel plate is a little different from other steel plates. I suspect it is a defective product."
Wu Yong was shocked. "How is it possible? I saw them installing it with my own eyes. How could there be defective products mixed in?"
"Finally it has been discovered. It can still be salvaged. If it is really put into use, the lives of everyone on this ship will be in danger."
Wu Yong also realized the seriousness of the situation and "quickly dismantled and reinstalled it."
Welding a ship is not an easy job. Everyone is working very hard to survive. Now that something like this has happened, Wu Yong feels very uncomfortable. The construction schedule will be delayed again. Shipbuilding cannot be delayed for a moment.
But he had personally checked every steel plate, so how could there be a defective one?
After inspection, Wu Yong found that there were more than one defective product mixed in the entire ship, and he did not even notice these problems. As a supervisor, he failed in his duty.
Now we have to find out who stole those steel plates. If one was an accident, then several of them must have been stolen by someone.
After checking, they found that a lot of screws and tools were missing from the warehouse. Wu Yong finally understood that someone had stolen things from here.
He felt a little scared when he thought that the ship was almost destroyed in his hands. After gathering all the workers, he said indirectly: "These ships are used to save lives. There can't be any problems. By then, we and our families will have to board these ships to leave. You must know that even the slightest problem will result in the death of everyone on the ship. I hope that people who have other ideas can take the initiative to tell me privately. Maybe I can even plead with my superiors. However, if we investigate and find out who stole it, then this matter will not be so easy to solve." Wu Yong said meaningfully.
"I thought it was something else. So you suspected that we stole something from here. Do we really need to steal something from here?"
"Yes, we work diligently here so that we can complete the shipbuilding task as soon as possible. Now you start to doubt us with just one sentence. Isn't this going to dampen the enthusiasm of the workers?"
Seeing the commotion below, Wu Yong could only lay out all the evidence, "You can see how much stuff is missing from the warehouse."
"It's normal for things to be lost in a warehouse, isn't it? Who doesn't lose some screws or something when working? You're making a big fuss about it!"
"Yeah, yeah, let's not waste our time, just get to work!"
The workers under him did not obey him at all, and Wu Yong felt helpless. It seemed like it was just a matter of losing a few steel plates, but if such a thing happened again, the consequences would be disastrous.
Before the theft was resolved, another food poisoning incident broke out. This time it was said that the cafeteria staff had an emotional dispute with someone else and poisoned the food when they couldn't figure it out. Now most people in the base eat in the cafeteria, and many of those who have eaten that dish have developed poisoning reactions.
Those who ate less can still be saved, but those who ate more are beyond help. Moreover, the source of this poison is unclear, and such drugs were originally prohibited in the base.
Not only that, a few residents who were desperate even agreed to commit mass suicide by drinking pesticides such as paraquat. Once paraquat and other drugs are consumed, even a god cannot save the person after the dosage has exceeded the limit.
Moreover, one of the residents even let his seven-year-old daughter drink paraquat. Fortunately, the little girl was smart and just pretended to drink a sip and then vomited. However, even so, it caused great harm to her.
With so many strange things happening in the base within one day, everyone was in a panic.
Hell Star had clearly closed his eyes after blinking before. Since then, people's emotions have stabilized and fights have rarely occurred. Now a series of such incidents have happened again, which makes people wonder whether Hell Star is about to open his eyes again.
Manman was busy in the hospital for most of the day because of the poisoning incident.
The group of people who drank paraquat gradually calmed down after being persuaded by everyone. Unfortunately, paraquat is too toxic. Although they appear to be fine on the surface, they are actually dying.
They tried their best but were still unable to repair the damage done to the bodies. Only the little girl's poisoning was relatively minor, and Manman tried her best to use her healing powers to heal her.
All in all, the base is in chaos and people are in panic.
At this time, Qin Muxue finally waited for Qu Yanbai to arrive. As soon as Qu Yanbai got out of the car, he asked nervously, "What happened? You don't look like anything happened?"
Until he saw the evil spirit beside him, he became nervous again. Qin Muxue hurriedly explained: "His name is An Teng. He said that there is a way for us to enter Yanxing through the wormhole and find the real reason why the rioters appeared."
"Do you really believe what he said?"
"For now, I believe it. If we want to get this right, we must have Cai Haomiao's help. Haomiao, come and check his memory." Qin Muxue looked at Cai Haomiao behind her, "See if what he said is true."
"Okay, I'll try it right away."
After An Teng woke up, he found a tall figure standing in front of him, "You want to do it?"
Suddenly a group of strangers appeared and stared at him hungrily, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Since we are working together, I want to confirm whether everything you said is true. He can see the memories in the brain, so let him take a look!" Qin Muxue explained.
"Since you said so, little girl, I will agree with all my reluctance."
Cai Haomiao placed his hand on An Teng's head and immediately saw his memory. His memory was very old, and the clothing of the Hua people in his memory had been changing until it became the modern clothes they wear now.
Cai Haomiao quickly read his memory and found that everything he said was true. He even saw the original Yanxing in his distant memory. It was the same as the Earth, but later it became a ruin.
Because he had a lot of memories, Cai Haomiao spent a long time, and only stopped when his mental power was exhausted and needed to be replenished.
"What he said is true, but whether we can return to Yanxing through this machine is also a matter of probability."
Sheng Xingyuan had just checked the machine. As he checked it, he sighed, "It's amazing that such technology exists. It can allow the wormhole to enter a predetermined orbit, so that it can reach a designated location."
An Teng smiled and said, "You are a smart man. This is an invention of our Yanxing. I have hidden it here for a long time."
"Then why don't you use it to return to Yanxing, but instead give it to us to use now?" Qu Yanbai couldn't help but doubt the intentions of these evil spirits.
An Teng sighed, "Because starting this machine requires the lives of the Yanxing people as a price, over the long years, my companions have been lost with me, and finally I am the only one left living in the human world. Some have hidden in the mountains and forests, not caring about worldly affairs, and some are disliked because of their appearance. In the end, even I can't find my companions. After the communicator broke down, I could no longer contact them. Now I revisited the old place and found this machine again. It happened that a wormhole appeared here again. Don't you Huaguo people have a saying? It's destined in the dark. Maybe I am destined to meet you. You can help me... fulfill this last wish."
Everyone was silent. Sheng Xingyuan and Cai Haomiao found no problems after testing, so they decided to implement this plan.
An Teng touched his rumbling stomach and said in embarrassment: "Can you let me have another full meal before I leave?"
This was not a problem for Qin Muxue at all. "You just ate so much, are you hungry again now?"
"I just feel like I'm about to leave this world. I'm a little reluctant, but I also can't forget the hot pot here..."
Qin Muxue saw An Teng's plan, "Hot pot is fine, do you like spicy or clear soup?"
"Of course it's a shabu-shabu hotpot, both spicy and clear soup!"
Qin Muxue brought out the alcohol stove and the double-flavored hot pot. After preparing the pot base, she also prepared all the ingredients for the hot pot. The thing she had the most space for was food, so these were not a problem for her.
Seeing that she really set up the hot pot, Li Cheng stared at the food in front of them, Wagyu beef, beef rolls, lamb rolls, shrimp balls, tofu, etc. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This Qin Muxue is really capable and can make anything.
"Mr. An, you can eat now." She said solemnly.
This was the first time someone called An Teng Mr. He was used to being humble, so he was still a little uncomfortable. "You can just call me An Teng, no need to call me Mr.."
The evil spirits on the blue planet all have ugly appearances. Having lived among humans for so long, he must have suffered a lot. However, he still looks so optimistic and has no hostility towards humans.
"I would like to call you that."
An Teng sat in front of the stove. It was the first time he ate hot pot in front of humans. The hot pot tasted very authentic. He shed tears while eating. "Thank you for fulfilling my last wish."
Then he slowly stood up and walked to the side of the instrument. "There are certain risks in entering the wormhole, but this instrument can avoid such risks and send you to the location of the Flame Star. You must take out all the metal objects you are carrying, otherwise there will be deviations."
Qu Yanbai looked at Cai Haomiao and Sheng Xingyuan hesitantly, and they nodded at him. Only then did he feel at ease and put down all the metal objects on his body.
Li Cheng was still looking for an opportunity to send a signal, but Shi Yan kept staring at him like a ghost, and he felt weak all over when he saw Shi Yan. Perhaps he had been beaten too badly by Shi Yan before, and there was an inexplicable fear in his heart.
At first, he didn't expect that these two people would come back. He had tried his best to suppress his emotions when working on the mission with them, but the fear he felt when facing Shi Yan would not dissipate. This man was simply too scary.
He didn't dare to reveal his true identity and could only take out all the metal objects on his body.
An Teng nodded and said, "You can go in when I say you can."
"good."
An Teng endured the pain and cut off a cyst and poured it into the instrument. He was already very old and it was very strenuous to cut off one. He could only look at Qin Muxue with a pleading look, "Little girl, I don't have enough strength. Can you help me?"
Qin Muxue picked up the knife and for the first time felt unable to start. She knew that once she cut it, An Teng's life would be over.
Shi Yan looked at her and silently took the knife, "Let me do it."
"Shi Yan..." He smiled as if he didn't care.
Qin Muxue walked to the side silently and watched Shi Yan cut off the other one with her own eyes.
An Teng supported his tired body and said, "You guys stand over there. I have to initiate this last move."
No one knew what they were about to face. Standing in front of the wormhole, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.
Until An Teng activated the instrument, the entire wormhole was surrounded by blue light, "Okay, you guys go in quickly!"
He used up his last bit of strength and waved his hand, "Little girl, don't forget our agreement."
"I remember." Qin Muxue put away the photo, held Shi Yan's hand and walked into the wormhole.
Sheng Xingyuan and Cai Haomiao went in later, leaving only Qu Yanbai and Li Cheng. Both of them had concerns in their hearts.
Qu Yanbai gritted his teeth and wanted to go in directly, but he saw Li Cheng hesitating beside him, "What if we go in and can't come back? Wouldn't it be a waste of sacrifice?"
Qu Yanbai knew that he was afraid, so he squinted his eyes and kicked him in, still saying, "Don't you think it's too late to consider these issues now?"
Six people briefly lost consciousness...
Before going in, Qin Muxue tightly grasped the emerald on her chest, hoping that this time travel would not affect the emerald.
It was not until she opened her eyes again after losing consciousness that she realized that this was a vast desert. There was air here, but the air was also filled with sand. She could breathe freely, so the oxygen content should be quite high.
Qin Muxue touched the sand around her. The sand looked very similar to the scene when they encountered extreme heat in their previous life. The temperature here was very hot, and the air was also scorching hot. Her arms were almost burned.
It was Shi Yan who pulled her to the shade and said, "Don't stay there for too long!"
