Chapter 80 Doomsday Humanoid Weapon 17
Yao Rong, Lu Fei and Song Xiuping were not from the military and did not need to report to the military. As soon as they arrived at the base, they immediately separated from the main force and rushed back home.
There was a storm in the base these two days.
As the storm subsided, the villa was in a mess. The few flowers, plants and trees in the yard were blown to the ground. Although they did not die, they looked a bit desolate and bleak.
Lu Fei took the initiative to take a broom and swept the dead branches and leaves in the yard into a pile.
Song Xiuping also took a mop and cleaned the water on the corridor.
Yao Rong stepped forward to straighten the plants.
These were left by the previous owner of the villa. Because no one had taken care of them for a long time, some plants had grown wildly, and some plants withered and died.
Yao Rong simply pulled out all the dying plants.
"There were no flowers and plants in the yard originally, and now it's even more bare after pulling them out." Lu Fei swept the land and said behind Yao Rong with a broom.
Song Xiuping is worthy of being a chef. At this moment, he has set his sights on this piece of land: "We can reclaim this land. I will buy some vegetable seeds tomorrow and plant them. If we take good care of them, we can harvest a wave of vegetables before winter comes. Store them in the cellar, and you won't have to worry about vegetables all winter."
The ingredients severely restricted his cooking skills.
He just finished his mission and had a few days off. He could think of ways to be self-sufficient.
"That's good, that's good." Lu Fei didn't have a romantic heart. No matter how beautiful the flowers and plants were, could they be eaten cheaply?
Yao Rong patted the mud on his palms and turned back to Lu Fei and said, "Do you have any raw melon seeds?"
Lu Fei recalled, "I think so."
"Go get a handful of raw melon seeds and sprinkle them in the corner of the yard." Yao Rong pointed to the corner of the wall.
This corner was not suitable for growing vegetables, but it was just right for growing sunflowers.
"Let's reclaim the rest of the land while we're free today."
Lu Fei's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."
A handful of raw melon seeds wouldn't last for ten minutes, but if sunflowers could really grow, it would become a renewable resource.
Yao Rong glanced at him, not knowing what he was thinking.
But she planted sunflowers because this flower that always chases the sun also symbolizes eternal hope.
The ancient Inca Empire even regarded this flower as the emblem of the sun god.
If one day sunflowers bloom all over the southwest base and all over the human-fallen cities where zombies are rampant, perhaps the end of the world will usher in real hope.
After spending some time loosening the soil in the corners, Yao Rong sprinkled raw melon seeds on the ground, watered it, and covered it with a thin layer of soil. After
doing all this, Yao Rong went upstairs to change into dry clothes and went next door to pick up Mi Mengmeng.
This mission took two days in total. No one was at home during these two days. Before leaving, Yao Rong sent Mi Mengmeng to the next door and asked Xue Anyi and Jiang Qianqian to take care of her.
When Yao Rong arrived next door, the Xue family had just finished dinner. Jiang Qianqian and Mi Mengmeng were sitting in the yard playing Sudoku, and Xue Anyi was sitting nearby practicing calligraphy.
Seeing Yao Rong, Mi Mengmeng put down her pencil, jumped off the stool, and held Yao Rong's hand: "Aunt Yao, you're back."
After taking good care of herself for a while, Mi Mengmeng's face finally gained some flesh, and her dry hair regained its luster and was tied into two beautiful ponytails.
Yao Rong asked her to wave goodbye to Jiang Qianqian and Xue Anyi, and then took her home, asking her in detail how she had been doing and how she had eaten in the past two days.
Mi Mengmeng answered everything.
"Aunt Jiang also prepared a lot of toys for me, saying that I can go to her to play anytime I want in the future." At the end, Mi Mengmeng was still a little embarrassed.
Worried that Yao Rong might misunderstand, Mi Mengmeng explained in a low voice: "Aunt Yao, I'm not a playboy, it's just that the Sudoku and puzzle games prepared by Aunt Jiang are very interesting."
She didn't forget to call Lu Fei: "Brother Lu Fei, I'll take you to play next time. I'll share all those games with you."
Lu Fei was very moved.
Then he firmly refused.
From what Mi Mengmeng just said, Yao Rong could feel the intentions of Jiang Qianqian and Xue Anyi. If they hadn't prepared in advance, it would be difficult to gather all those books and toys in such a short time.
There are still three months to the new year, and Yao Rong plans to let Mi Mengmeng stay at home for a while longer.
If Jiang Qianqian and Xue Anyi's attitude towards Mi Mengmeng remains the same, they can go through the formal adoption procedures before the end of this year.
***
The next morning, Yao Rong did not go to the laboratory, but stayed at home to study the source code of the game bracelet.
This source code is too important, and it is safer to study it at home than to go to a busy laboratory.
Lu Fei's voice floated up from the yard from time to time.
Before nightfall yesterday, they finally reclaimed the land, and after Song Xiuping bought vegetable seeds, they began to plant vegetables in full swing.
When Yao Rong's eyes were a little tired and he looked into the distance to relax his eyes, the land had been planted.
In the afternoon, Yao Rong and the other two went to the redemption office.
This redemption office is actually a material distribution point belonging to the base. After gaining military merit, soldiers of the army and mercenaries who accept military missions can come here to exchange their military merit for contribution points, and they can also exchange contribution points for supplies.
Yao Rong and his two companions are actually mercenaries.
There are still many people who come here to redeem military merit. The redemption hall is crowded, and several windows are full of people.
Yao Rong and his two companions waited in line for a long time before it was finally their turn.
Song Xiuping handed his smart watch to the staff.
"Complete the task of [Go to Honggao Factory to transport the production line] and you will be rewarded with 30 contribution points." said the staff.
Yao Rong, a healing psychic, saved many people during the mission and received 30 contribution points.
When it came to Lu Fei, the staff member saw the words "Go to Honggao Factory to move the production line" and subconsciously said what she had just repeated twice. But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.
"Complete the mission [Go to Honggao Factory to move the production line] and you will be rewarded with five... five hundred contribution points!?"
A loud voice suddenly rang out in the hall, making the originally noisy hall quiet for a moment.
Five hundred contribution points?
After the silence, many people exclaimed, and looked at Lu Fei with surprise.
"Five hundred contribution points? Did one person take on an entire group of zombies alone?"
"He's so young, who is he?"
"Haven't you heard that our base has a level 40 wind-type psychic who is only in his teens, named Feng Kui."
"Has anyone already broken through to level 40? This level would make him the best expert in the base, right?"
"Of course not. If he didn't have this ability, how could he get five hundred contribution points in one go?"
Lu Fei looked very calm as he was surrounded by constant whispers.
The name Feng Kui is a combination of "wind-type psychic" and "sunflower".
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" The staff member handed the smartwatch back to Lu Fei, using honorifics in his speech.
Lu Fei felt around in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled bill. He said with a pained look, "Please help me clear the bill."
The bill clearly stated that Lu Fei owed the base 460 contribution points.
After paying off this debt, Lu Fei still had 40 contribution points left.
This contribution point was just a drop in the bucket for purchasing experimental materials. Lu Fei didn't plan to keep them. He directly asked the staff to help him exchange two cans of milk powder and two bags of rice, and the remaining contribution points were exchanged for more economical and affordable coarse grains.
"Do you want to exchange them for the children in the orphanage?" Yao Rong asked.
"Yes."
Yao Rong handed her watch to the staff: "Please help me exchange all 30 contribution points for rations."
The contribution points obtained from the mission were an unexpected fortune for her.
After spending them, the remaining contribution points were not much, but they were enough to support her and Lu Fei.
Song Xiuping smiled and did not join in the excitement, but he did not stand idly by: "I will do the hard work for you, store these supplies in the space, and then send them over."
After collecting the supplies exchanged by Yao Rong and Lu Fei, Song Xiuping also spent 10 contribution points to exchange for supplies.
He planned to find an opportunity to give these things to some friends he had known in his previous life...
although he had not yet known them in this life.
After finishing this matter, the three of them went home.
Lu Fei kicked up the bicycle kickstand, stretched his waist before starting to pedal, and felt that the air in the base had become a little fresher today.
It really is a relief to be debt-free.
But his happiness did not last long. As soon as Lu Fei got home, he saw his adjutant standing at the door waiting for him, and... a brand new bill in his hand.
Lu Fei:?
The adjutant said: "Dr. Yao bought a lot of research materials a few days ago. It happened that I came to see Major General Xue today, so I brought the bill to you."
Lu Fei: "..."
Bah, so he just got out of the deficit temporarily.
According to the speed at which Dr. Yao spends money like water, he will soon become the famous "working emperor" of the Southwest Base.
——The harder you work, the poorer you are.
Dragging his body crushed by the heavy reality into the villa, Lu Fei was slapped by Yao Rong as soon as he reached the living room: "Walk properly."
Lu Fei sighed and tried to straighten his body.
Yao Rong glanced at the account in his hand and said, "That's right, I have something to tell you. I have already made some progress in my research on version 2.0 of the gene stabilizer. I will stay in the laboratory for a while until the research yields results."
"During this time, if you need to go on a mission, just stay with your brother Fang."
"He's a smart man. When I'm not around, you have to listen to him more and not act on your own. Do you understand?"
She couldn't stay by Lu Fei's side all the time.
Fortunately, he already had a group of young but stable and reliable teammates around him.
Lu Fei nodded several times: Listen to the smart man, he is familiar with this job.
After making sure that Lu Fei had remembered her words, Yao Rong asked Song Xiuping, Zheng Shuiqing and others to pay more attention to Gu Mi Mengmeng, and then she put aside her distractions and devoted herself to research and development.
After repeated failures and calculations, it took Yao Rong more than a month to develop the 2.0 version of the gene stabilizer.
During this month, Lu Fei followed Fang Shaoyuan and others on two missions.
The first was to destroy the zombies around the base and eliminate hidden dangers for the construction of a new satellite city for the base.
The second was to escort the army and ordinary people to the citrus base to pick fruits in the season when citrus is ripe.
In these two missions, all the powerful zombies were solved in advance by Lu Fei, and the remaining zombies were equivalent to non-dangerous experience packages for Shao Yuan and his men.
So not only did they complete the mission, but they also completed it with an extremely low mortality rate.
This mortality rate is particularly eye-catching, and the reputation of "Feng Kui" in the base has also risen. Many people say that as long as they can participate in the mission with "Feng Kui", it is completely a win-win situation.
After Yao Rong tested the effect of 2.0, he heard that Lu Fei had received many olive branches from mercenary teams.
"They offered me a very high salary." Lu Fei raised his head and showed off his worth to Yao Rong, "But I rejected them all."
Yao Rong glanced at him.
"According to my observation, those who invited me are not as smart as Brother Fang." Lu Fei emphasized, "I don't want to play with people who are not smart enough."
There are reasons for the low death rate and high completion rate of the mission.
But Lu Fei knows that the more important thing is Fang Shaoyuan's proper command.
Fang Shaoyuan can always use the smallest loss to exchange for the greatest gain.
Yao Rong calmly commented: "You just like the feeling of leaving your brain behind."
With smart people around, Lu Fei doesn't need to think about anything himself.
Lu Fei flipped the table: "That's true, but you should be more tactful."
Yao Rong smiled: "Okay, okay, where is Mengmeng?"
When it comes to business, the depression on Lu Fei's face faded a little: "She was picked up by Aunt Jiang to play."
"Has Mengmeng often gone to Xue's house during this period?"
"Yes, Aunt Jiang comes every two or three days. If there are any fruits or something next door on weekdays, she will also send some over."
When Yao Rong was not around, Lu Fei still had the responsibility of a brother.
At least he paid attention to the things that should be paid attention to.
"Then come with me to Xue's house."
"To pick up Mengmeng?"
"Yes, and talk about adoption by the way."
Yao Rong and Xue Anyi had a tacit understanding, and Mi Mengmeng had long known from Yao Rong that Yao Rong would find someone else to adopt her, so the communication between the two sides was very smooth.
Soon, Xue Anyi and Jiang Qianqian formally proposed to adopt Mi Mengmeng.
After completing the formalities, Mi Mengmeng was taken to the Xue family, and her usual things were taken with her. After
Mi Mengmeng left, Yao Rong sent Song Xiuping to stay with Fang Shaoyuan for a few days.
She didn't hand over the gene stabilizer to Lu Fei until she and Lu Fei were the only ones left in the villa.
Lu Fei drank the liquid in the test tube in one breath, lay down on the bed, and soon fell into a coma.
Yao Rong sat beside him and monitored the changes in his data.
As the effect of the drug gradually took effect, Lu Fei's condition obviously improved. Just as Yao Rong, who had been guarding all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to close his eyes for a nap, the instrument at hand issued a harsh and sharp alarm sound.
This sudden situation startled Yao Rong and she lost all her sleepiness. She quickly checked the instrument and saw that the data, which had been tending to be stable, was rising continuously and broke through the safety line in the blink of an eye.
"Lu Fei!"
Yao Rong put down the instrument and came to the bed to check on Lu Fei.
His eyes were tightly closed, his teeth were clenched, his face was very red, and cold sweat instantly wet his short hair.
Yao Rong reached out to touch his forehead.
It was very hot.
Just as Yao Rong was about to take her hand back, Lu Fei suddenly opened his eyes.
His blood-red vertical pupils stared at Yao Rong, and there was no human emotion in them.
The blood-red vertical pupil only lasted for less than two seconds. Lu Fei's consciousness finally took back control of the body. All data fell back at an extremely fast speed, so fast that everything just now seemed like an illusion of Yao Rong.
But Yao Rong knew that it was all true.
She remembered what Song Xiuping had said to her.
- In the previous life, it was a young man with bloodshot eyes who led the orc army to destroy the southwest base.
Could that leader be Lu Fei?
No.
Should I say, could that leader be No. 9?
After Lu Fei's human consciousness was wiped out, is it possible that his body could be controlled by others and completely turned into a bloody killing machine...
After a long while, Yao Rong got up and went to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge, and then wet a towel to help Lu Fei wipe the cold sweat off his face.
"No matter whether the leader is you or not..."
"Lu Fei, you must live your life to your heart's content."
The morning breeze, with the moisture of morning dew, blew through the sunflowers growing vigorously in the corners of the wall, blew into the dim room, and blew Lu Fei's eyelashes hanging on his eyelids trembled slightly.
He regained consciousness.
As if he heard Yao Rong's murmurs just now, Lu Fei endured the discomfort and curled the corners of his lips towards Yao Rong.
Two hours later, Lu Fei was back to full vigor.
"I feel like I'm stronger now." Lu Fei felt it and said to Yao Rong.
Yao Rong was not surprised: "This is the benefit of stable genes."
Lu Fei flexed his fists and feet, eager to prove his progress: "Then I'll go to Brother Fang and the others to learn from each other."
"I'll go with you. I happen to have something to do."
When the mother and son arrived at the place where Fang Shaoyuan's team lived, Fang Shaoyuan's team was training.
Lu Fei joined them directly.
Yao Rong waved to Song Xiuping, walked to a corner with Song Xiuping, and asked more and more details about the destruction of the Southwest Base.
Unfortunately, until his death, Song Xiuping had never seen the leader in person.
All his knowledge of the leader was heard from others.
"Aunt Yao, is this important?" Song Xiuping asked.
"It's very important to me."
Song Xiuping frowned: "Then I'll think about it again."
He thought for a long time, so long that Lu Fei, Fang Shaoyuan and others had finished their training. Song Xiuping suddenly had an idea: "I remembered a detail, I don't know if it's useful - it seems that someone said that the leader's name was given by God. This sentence sounds strange, I was very puzzled at the time." If it weren't for this, he might not be able to remember it.
God-given?
What is this? Does Xiao Bai really think of himself as a god? Or is it that the end of science always leads to theology, and scientists like Xiao Bai who are enough to leave a strong mark in the field of life genes are not immune.
Yao Rong no longer felt lucky.
Now Lu Fei's situation has stabilized a lot.
It's time for her to devote half of her energy to the research and development of mass production of game bracelets.
Since Xiao Bai and the Ninth Research Institute cannot be dealt with for the time being, she should first think of ways to strengthen her own strength.
