Chapter 52 Chips

In early winter, the temperature dropped sharply. Most of the survivors chose to stay in the base. The few people walking on the street also put on coats and cotton clothes.

In the building at the center of the Chuyang base, the sound of flipping papers was rustling. Among the pile of documents, three people were buried in their desks.

"There are more and more survivors coming to the base recently." Tang Yichao threw the pencil he was holding on the table with a "snap". He leaned back on the back of the chair like a boneless person, muttering, "It's so annoying. This is simply not a human thing to do."

"Oh, Brother Xie, I didn't say you."

Noticing Xie Er's gaze, Tang Yichao quickly added the last sentence.

Long Yilan's eyes were drooping, and she was holding a pen. She seemed to be writing seriously, but in fact, she had been daydreaming. When she heard Tang Yichao's words, she nodded repeatedly: "Old Xie is not a human being."

Xie Er pushed the glasses on his nose and smiled: "If Alan and Xiaochao feel tired, they can go out to relax."

Tang Yichao was startled, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Tired? How can I be tired? Brother Xie, don't worry, I'm not tired at all, I can finish these documents right away!"

The last person who said he was tired has not come out of the training ground intact yet.

Didn't you see that Sister Long was scared?

"What are you busy with?"

Outside the door, two people walked into the hall wrapped in the cold wind.

Looking up, it was Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen who hadn't been seen for several days.

"You are finally back!"

Long Yilan and Tang Yichao were the happiest to see the two.

"Boss! I missed you so much!" Long Yilan subconsciously wanted to hug Jiang Yunqi, but missed. She turned her head and found that it was Gu Bingchen who pulled Jiang Yunqi away. She frowned, "What are you doing?"

Gu Bingchen glanced at her and said, "He just came back and is tired. Let him rest."

Long Yilan withdrew her hands and looked at the man with tired eyes. She blinked and took a step back obediently to let go of the soft sofa.

Xie Er brought two cups of steaming tea from the kitchen, sat down next to Jiang Yunqi, and naturally stretched out his hands to rub the sides of Jiang Yunqi's head: "Headache again?"

Jiang Yunqi took a sip of tea and shook his head: "It's an old problem, it's okay, you do your thing."

After saying that, he gently brushed away the hands on his head.

Gu Bingchen took over the conversation: "That's right, you do your thing, I'll do it, I also know some massage techniques, I guarantee that you will feel comfortable."

As he said that, he started without waiting for Jiang Yunqi to react.

"Do you feel something is wrong?" Tang Yizhao narrowed his eyes slightly, moved to Long Yilan's side, and whispered.

Long Yilan glanced to the side, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Tang Yichao couldn't explain it either, but he felt that the scene in front of him was too much like a drama of concubines competing for favor.

Jiang Yunqi was the emperor, and Brother Xie and their boss were concubines.

"I see you are frowning as soon as I come back, what are you doing?" Gu Bingchen looked at the scattered paper documents on the table.

Speaking of this, Tang Yichao immediately shook off the random thoughts in his mind, put his hands on his waist, and complained loudly: "It's Uncle Yao! You are free anyway, just help him deal with the latest population registration."

"How can we be free!"

"How can you not be free?" At this time, Chu Wanyue also came back from outside, followed by two familiar faces.

Long Yilan's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward: "You're back."

Chu Wanyue paused, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Yes, I dealt with some things." Tang Yichao

was stunned, scratched his head, looked left and right, and always felt that... the atmosphere between Sister Long and Sister Yueyue was also strange.

"What wind blew you here? I thought you two would stay in the laboratory for the rest of your life." Gu Bingchen withdrew his hands and leaned lazily on the sofa. His tone was calm, but mixed with a hint of yin and yang.

Gu Hua pulled off the veil on her face and sat down on the sofa on the other side. Xu Huili followed closely behind her.

"Experiment..." She hesitated to speak, seeming to be a little worried.

Jiang Yunqi guessed: "Has there been a new breakthrough in the experiment?"

Gu Hua shook her head, her remaining eyes falling on the red wound on Xu Huili's wrist. She took a deep breath and said: "There are not enough experimental samples. We...we need more..."

Before she finished the rest of the words, Gu Bingchen said: "You mean, you want to find a few more conscious zombies?"

"Yes." Gu Hua nodded.

Gu Bingchen had a fake smile on his face: "Chips, let me see if the chips you proposed are attractive enough."

Thinking of the strength of the people in front of her, the chips Gu Hua had were simply not enough. She clenched the veil in her hand, feeling a little helpless.

Xie Er handed her a cup of hot water and smiled gently: "It's okay, drink some water first."

"Thank you."

Gu Hua lowered her head, her slightly long bangs slightly covering the scary scar on her cheek. The stern and calm eyes of the past were no longer there. After defeating Gu Mingyuan and successfully taking revenge, she was a little dazed and often couldn't lift her spirits. It seemed that she couldn't find the meaning of living. Only the experiment could make her regain some reason and confidence.

But the failure of the experiment still hit her.

If Xu Huili hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid she would have mutated and become a zombie.

Xu Huili sighed, his patience running out. He straightened his long and wrinkled clothes, took out two photos from his backpack, bypassed Gu Bingchen, and handed one of the photos to Jiang Yunqi. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and his tone was tinged with excitement: "Take a look, does this thing look familiar?"

Jiang Yunqi frowned, his aura suddenly became fierce, and his sharp eyes shot directly at Xu Huili: "Where did you get this photo?"

"Well, I think you figured it out too." Although Xu Huili was startled by Jiang Yunqi, he quickly came back to his senses, put his hands in his pockets, leaned back against the sofa, and raised an innocent smile on his pretty face, "I wonder if this is enough as a bargaining chip for cooperating with you?"

This was the first time Tang Yichao saw Jiang Yunqi's emotions so exposed. He didn't see the things in the photo, and was a little puzzled, so he wanted to go forward and take a look.

The people closest to Jiang Yunqi were Gu Bingchen and Xie Er.

Xie Er was also a little confused at first, until he saw the things in the photo clearly, his usually gentle face suddenly became gloomy.

He handed the photo to Long Yilan, and a trace of hatred and resentment flashed in the eyes of both of them.

Jiang Yunqi did not agree rashly. His emotions soon calmed down, and his expression was as calm and indifferent as before.

"I will give you an answer before noon tomorrow."

Xu Huili raised his eyebrows and stood up: "Okay, then I will wait for Captain Jiang in the laboratory."

In November, the leaves in the south are not as yellow and falling as those in the north. A cool breeze blew, and the fallen leaves were still green, and a light dust floated in the air.

The three-inch photo was placed on the coffee table. After Xu Huili and Gu Huan left, Jiang Yunqi had been frowning, not speaking, and just sitting there.

Tang Yichao took a curious look at the photo and found that it was a rather strange picture. He didn't understand why these three people were silent one by one.

"Why are you frowning? Come on, have a candy." Gu Bingchen quickly peeled off the candy wrapper and put the candy to Jiang Yunqi's mouth.

There was a faint sweet strawberry fragrance at the tip of his nose. Jiang Yunqi opened his mouth subconsciously, and the sweetness instantly filled his entire mouth.

He raised his eyes and bumped into a pair of eyes full of his reflection.

Jiang Yunqi was stunned for a while, and then a slight arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You should think... No, you just listen to a story."

Xie Er and Long Yilan looked at each other and guessed what the admiral was going to say next.

After nearly half a year of getting along, not to mention Gu Bingchen and Chu Wanyue, even Tang Yichao, who was always carefree, could feel the difference between Jiang Yunqi and the other two and them. Upon hearing this, he immediately sat up straight, raised his ears, and listened to the "story" carefully.

The story sounded a bit fantastic, like the cliché plot of a science fiction movie. If they were not in the apocalypse of zombies, Tang Yizhao would have thought that this was a science fiction novel written by a new writer.

It also sounded like a running account.

"I have a question." Tang Yizhao raised his hand, his eyes full of curiosity, and his rising tone was mixed with a bit of gossip, "I can't imagine a world with 6 genders."

"So, I'm just curious, what gender are you all?"

Jiang Yunqi had a lot of ideas in mind, thinking that they would ask what the future world would be like, but he didn't expect it to be such a novel question.

Seeing the dazed look on the face of the people around him, the gloomy Gu Bingchen suddenly became happy. He slapped Tang Yichao on the head, severely ravaged his curly hair, and laughed and scolded: "Why are you so malnourished? Change one, change one."

"I'm Alpha." Jiang Yunqi reacted, there was nothing he couldn't say, and said, "My mental level is 3S."

"I'm also Alpha, but my level is lower, S." Long Yilan looked at Chu Wanyue from time to time, "Pheromone is tequila."

Xie Er lowered his eyes, not as straightforward as the former, but thought for a while, sighed, and said softly: "Beta, A+."

Gu Bingchen stole a glance at the back of Jiang Yunqi's neck.

What would his pheromone smell like?

It should be as aloof and cold as Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Chu Wanyue's eyebrows were raised. Even though she was surprised at the identities of the three people in front of her, she did not forget the key point raised by the topic. She rubbed her chin, moved her eyes away from the photo on the coffee table, and asked: "What does this photo have to do with it?"

Jiang Yunqi knew very little about it. He only knew that this was a research institute under the jurisdiction of a certain prince of the empire. The strange graphics on the photo were the exclusive symbols of that research institute.

What surprised him was where Xu Huili got the photo from.

Compared with Jiang Yunqi, Long Yilan and Xie Er obviously knew more secrets.

"You tell it, or should I tell it?" Long Yilan asked.

The warm sunlight projected in from the window. Xie Er raised his hand to take off his glasses, pulled the corners of his mouth, and finally smiled bitterly: "Let me do it. After all, I left late."
