As long as these people's bodies are repaired for the damage caused by nuclear contamination and they can live to a normal lifespan, that's enough. For ordinary people, consuming too many elixirs would only hasten their death.
Chu Nian didn't specifically tell Qi Meili this, but she thought that someone as smart as Qi Meili should be able to figure it out: everything in excess is as bad as deficiency.
Chu Nian added, "Don't mention this to anyone else."
Qi Meili: "I understand. They certainly didn't get such precious medicine for free. The quantity they can give us must be limited. If more people want it, it will be quite troublesome."
Chu Nian nodded and hummed in agreement. These kinds of basic pills, suitable for mortals, were actually quite rare for those of them who had cultivated for a long time, because they were no longer of any use to them.
When Qi Meili saw the villa built in the mountains, she sighed for a long time. She stayed there that night, and the next day, because she had a mission, Chu Nian got up earlier than usual and drove her back to the military headquarters.
The office staff's work hours start at nine o'clock, three hours later than those of the superhumans who go out on missions. The exploration teams all set off for missions at six in the morning.
Therefore, when Chu Nian arrived, apart from the exploration team members who were going on a mission, there were no other staff members. This mission was a joint operation involving several teams, and the target was still the Abyss.
Chu Nian guessed that Lin Jingting had already woken up, so the barrier at the bottom of the abyss was no longer useful and had been removed by Lin Jingting. As a result, the heat energy of the lava river was released, causing the human monitoring instruments to malfunction.
The two Peng brothers chuckled as soon as they saw Chu Nian.
Qi Meili glared at them fiercely, but they pretended not to see it and started mocking her relentlessly.
"Hey Niannian, you're not going on any more exploration missions, so why are you coming to work so early?"
"Could it be that she can't accept this reality?"
"Actually, you don't need to take this too seriously. Being transferred out of the exploration department will definitely give you a chance to be transferred back in the future."
"Brother, stop trying to comfort me. Clerks aren't going to be assigned to monster-killing missions or exploration missions. They have no chance to make a name for themselves, let alone be transferred back!"
...
Wang Chao rolled his eyes and cursed, "How disgusting are these two?"
Originally, everyone had complaints about Wu Nian's lack of performance during the mission, but now that Wu Nian is gone, everyone's anger has turned to the two brothers.
Honestly, if anyone else had said something sarcastic like this, no one would have thought much of it. But it's the Peng brothers, one of whom is Wu Nian's ex-boyfriend, and the other is Wu Nian's best friend's ex-boyfriend. The fact that they're saying these things now really reveals their true nature.
Although everyone had doubts about the brothers' character, few people expressed them as openly as Wang Chao; they all watched the show in silence.
Qi Meili argued indignantly with the brothers: "Whether Niannian can be transferred back to the Exploration Department or not is none of your business! Besides, even if she doesn't go back to the Exploration Department, she'll still be living a good life, humph!"
Jingyue quickly said, "Alright, everyone, let's all stop talking and get back to our teams!"
Several teams together numbered several hundred people, all of whom were among the best of the superhumans.
If all of these people are wiped out, humanity will suffer a tremendous loss!
Who sent these soldiers?
Because the original owner died in the abyss, and moreover, Chu Nian's spiritual power had already explored the situation there to a great extent.
There's nothing to explore in the lava river; there are no secrets to be found. The barrier has been removed, and many snakes have already passed through the area previously sealed by the barrier.
The danger there is those snakes.
These snakes are unlike the mindless monsters beyond the heavens. Because they are conscious, they have a very clear division of labor, just like the human society within the heavens, with a relatively complete management mechanism from top to bottom.
The most powerful one is a snake demon that has cultivated for thousands of years.
Those team members went, and even combined, they wouldn't be a match for them. If they didn't go deeper, perhaps there wouldn't be any major problems. But if they did go deeper, the casualties would likely be far more than just one or two.
After thinking about it, Chu Nian decided to go and talk to Raine.
She didn't want to go back to being a member of the exploration team; it wasn't free. But she also didn't want to continue as a clerk; it wasn't free and she had to be subservient to others. So she wanted to fight for a job that offered freedom, high pay, good conditions, and no need to be subservient to anyone.
Because the Exploration Department had a joint operation today, Ryan arrived early in the morning. He stood by his office window, looking down at the team members below, and only returned to his desk after they left.
No sooner had he sat down than he heard a knock on the door.
He was a little puzzled as to who would come so early, but he still called out, "Come in!" Then he saw Wu Nian, whom he had just transferred to work as a clerk, push open the door and walk in.
He frowned slightly. Just a second before he sat down, when he looked down from the window, he saw Chu Nian standing at the entrance of the office building. In less than three seconds, she was in his office on the 28th floor—she couldn't have come up by elevator, as elevators aren't that fast, so she must have been very fast on her own.
As the Minister of Exploration, he had of course seen Wu Nian's file and knew her academic performance at school. As a doctor with dual wind and thunder abilities, this child should be very capable. However, he had also heard that this child's practical combat ability was a bit poor. Last time, she even got diarrhea and dragged everyone down during a mission.
If you can't perform well in real combat, then no matter how good your grades are on paper, it's all for nothing! Renn looked at Chu Nian walking up to him with a bit of helplessness.
Chu Nian smiled and said, "General Rein, hello. I've come here to discuss a deal with you."
Renn: "What deal?" He paused, then added: "If you want to rejoin the exploration team, you'll have to achieve something."
Chu Nian: "You're overthinking it. I have no desire to join the exploration team. What they do is too boring. I want to do something more exciting."
Ryan sneered: "Ha, what's exciting to you?"
Chu Nian: "For example, just how strong is the strongest snake in the Abyss?"
Raine looked enlightened: "Oh, so you want to participate in this joint operation by the Exploration Department."
Chu Nian raised her lips and said with a cool smile, "You're wrong. I'm not interested in participating in other people's actions; I just want to be an outsider."
An outsider? Ryan raised an eyebrow. He felt this woman was wasting his time, and he was losing patience with her.
Chu Nian said, "I think General Rein's understanding of the various exploration teams, the situation on the ground during their missions, and so on, comes not only from the exploration reports of the team leaders!"
