Gu Qingqing said confidently, "It's okay. We were unharmed by the snakes, so we'll be fine with the mutated rats too."
Everyone nodded, believing that everything would be alright.
Afterwards, Ye Yunxi, Fu Heng, and the others discussed how to deal with the mutated rats while eating.
Rats are afraid of many things, but only before the end of the world.
Now that we're in the apocalypse, we can't use things that rats hate. But we can research potions, preferably irritating ones.
They couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so they had to give up.
After chatting for about an hour, the group said goodbye to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng and went back to their own homes.
After they left, Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng returned home, and the three of them cleaned up together.
After everything was tidied up, Ye Yunxi told Xuan Yu that there was a shower downstairs and the room was ready. She then went upstairs to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I went to bed thinking about how to deal with the mutated rats. It seemed like the only way was to strangle them.
When Fu Heng came up, he saw Ye Yunxi looking distressed, so he sat down by the bed and comforted her.
"Xixi, don't think about it too much for now. We can think about it again tomorrow. There will always be a way to solve it. If all else fails, then we'll just have to go all out."
Ye Yunxi thought about it and realized that this was the only way. After Fu Heng finished showering, he went to bed, held Ye Yunxi, and fell asleep.
For three consecutive days, no trace of the mutated rats was found at the base, but the base chief still dared not relax and contacted several other bases every day, but no mutated rats were found.
Two base leaders disagreed, thinking that the First Base was making a mountain out of a molehill and that there would be no mutated rats at all. They accused Base Leader Wu of misleading them and deceiving the people. After that, they stopped participating in any communication with Base Leader Wu and his group.
Unbeknownst to them, the mutated rats hadn't made a move because the mysterious figure had noticed the humans were on guard and instructed them to hold off until the humans were completely off guard. So both sides were waiting.
These past few days, Ye Yunxi has been working with Professor Ye and several other experienced PhDs on a drug that can prevent mutated mice. Professor Hu and Professor Fang have also come to help.
Fu Heng and Zhang Haiyi were in charge of modifying the weapons, while Xuan Yu joined the research center to learn alongside them. Li Yan and He Yidong led their team to inspect various parts of the base daily.
On the fifth day, Ye Yunxi was discussing the medicine with several professors. Lu Hengyi came to the hospital to find her and sent a nurse to fetch her.
After waiting a few minutes, Ye Yunxi came out of the potion research area and greeted Lu Hengyi with a smile.
"What business does Young Master Lu have with me?"
Lu Hengyi smiled and said, "It's certainly a good thing that they're looking for you. Come with me, my old man wants to see you. He says he wants to thank you in person for saving his life."
Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow at him. "Is Old Master Lu feeling any better?"
Lu Hengyi replied, "Thanks to your medicine and the water you gave me, I'm all better now and have been resting at home for the past two days. When I learned that you saved him, I said I wanted to see you, so I came to find you."
Ye Yunxi nodded and told Lu Hengyi to wait a moment while she went to inform her master before coming over.
Lu Hengyi nodded, and after ten minutes, Ye Yunxi returned. She followed Lu Hengyi out of the hospital and got into the Lu family's car.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Lu Aojiao's door.
Lu Hengyi said to Ye Yunxi.
"Miss Ye, we've arrived. Please get out of the car."
Ye Yunxi nodded, followed Lu Hengyi out of the car, and walked into the Lu family's gate.
Ye Yunxi entered the Lu family home and looked around, but didn't see anyone. Lu Hengyi led Ye Yunxi up to the second floor and to the door of the Lu family patriarch's room.
Lu Hengyi gently knocked on the door and called out.
"Grandpa, I've brought Miss Ye with me."
I could also hear a deep, resonant voice coming from inside.
"Enter."
Lu Hengyi opened the door and led Ye Yunxi inside, where they saw the old man sitting on the sofa reading a book.
When Grandpa Lu saw Ye Yunxi, he said with a smile.
"Little girl, it was you who saved this old man!"
Ye Yunxi greeted them politely first.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Grandpa Lu thought highly of Ye Yunxi and was very satisfied with her obedience.
"Little girl, what's your name?"
Ye Yunxi replied, "Grandpa, my name is Ye Yunxi. You can call me Yunxi."
When Grandpa Lu heard the young girl's name was Ye Yunxi, he was taken aback. He remembered that he had a close friend whose family name was also Ye, and whose granddaughter had been looked after by servants when she was young because the family was busy with business.
Unexpectedly, the servant failed to keep an eye on his granddaughter, who was then abducted by human traffickers. She has been missing for over twenty years. Initially, they reported it to the police, but there was no news, so the servant escaped and has not been found to this day.
He learned all this from his close friend, who naturally knew the name of his friend's granddaughter. His friend had even helped him look for her, but they couldn't find her.
Seeing his grandfather deep in thought, Lu Hengyi glanced at Ye Yunxi and softly called out to Old Master Lu.
After being called a few times, Old Master Lu finally came to his senses. He looked at Ye Yunxi and said...
"Girl, your name is Ye Yunxi, but which Yunxi is it? Can you write it down for me to see?"
Although Ye Yunxi was curious, she didn't ask any questions. She picked up a pen from the pen holder on the table, wrote her name on a piece of paper, and handed it to Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu took the paper from her hand, and his hand trembled slightly when he saw the name on it. He looked up at Ye Yunxi and asked.
"Little girl, are your parents still alive? Or rather, where did you used to live?"
