Chapter 39 Girl
"You two finished packing so quickly?"
After Lin Yingjie and his group left, Qiao Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and his voice was more energetic.
Cheng Sinian paused, turned his head and looked, only to find that Luo Zhenzhen had also left the room at some point and was standing at the stairs on the second floor.
Luo Zhenzhen felt a rush of heat in her ears when she saw Cheng Sinian looking up at her. She quickly glanced away and said, "Sister Qiao, do you have anything to talk about? I'll go back to my room first..."
She has the self-awareness of a latecomer. They will tell her what she should know, but she will never listen or ask any more questions about what she should not know.
"Hey...Zhenzhen." Qiao Yu raised her voice, "There's nothing you can't listen to, come and sit down." After all, they are already a team. The more she knows, the safer they will be when they take action in the future.
Luo Zhenzhen obediently lowered her head and hurried downstairs. When she reached Cheng Sinian, she leaned against the wall, afraid of bumping into him. Although she didn't take the incident seriously, she still felt a little awkward. It was the first time she'd been hugged by someone other than her father.
Cheng Sinian looked at her shivering back and licked his back teeth.
Tsk, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a rabbit.
Qiao Yu sensitively noticed that the atmosphere between the two people was a little strange, but before she could ask, Jiang Zhan grabbed her waist.
"They didn't tell the truth." Jiang Zhan's tone was flat, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. "There is another alien."
"Are they guarding against us?" Cheng Sinian also walked over to the single sofa and sat down, raising his eyebrows. "Brother Zhan, can you tell me what special abilities they have hidden?"
Before Jiang Zhan could answer, Qiao Yu rolled his eyes at Cheng Sinian. "Do you think psychics are body scanners? How could they even know this?"
While psychic-type mutants can sense supernatural fluctuations, they can only determine whether the person in front of them is a mutant. At most, based on the differences in mental fluctuations, they can roughly infer which branch of mutants they belong to and whether their supernatural powers are strong or weak. However, they cannot determine the specific supernatural powers. Unless the person in front of them is also a psychic-type.
Cheng Sinian was frustrated and curled his lips, "Then should we still cooperate with them?"
"Cooperate, why not?" Qiao Yu took a few bottles of fruit water from the space and handed them to Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen, saying, "They have trump cards, and so do we. Anyway, we just want to collect some current information about other aliens. There is no conflict."
"Alright." Cheng Sinian took the water and took a few gulps. "But...even though we can't find out what special abilities they have hidden, at least we can find out who the fifth special person is, right?"
This time Qiao Yu did not refute. Instead, he took a sip of water and looked at Jiang Zhan, waiting for his answer.
"It's that girl."
Qiao Yu was stunned, thinking back to the little girl who looked very timid. It was hard to imagine that she was actually the other party's hidden trump card.
"But her mental fluctuations are very strange." Jiang Zhan frowned, as if a little confused. "It looks like it should be a strengthening system, but the fluctuations are very strong."
Normally, the mental fluctuations of enhanced mutants are the weakest among all mutants, only slightly higher than those of other species. However, that girl's mental fluctuations were clearly higher than those of normal enhanced mutants, but still far lower than those of natural mutants. This situation was very similar to Jiang Zhan's mental system, but Jiang Zhan was able to confirm after several attempts that she was not a mental mutant...
"Ayu, besides the Psychology Department, are there any other special branches under the Strengthening Department?"
Jiang Zhan's serious expression made Qiao Yu inexplicably nervous. He kept recalling the information he had learned in the base in his previous life. "No... There is a branch of the Strengthening Department besides the Psychic Department... No!" Qiao Yu's eyes suddenly widened. "Yes! There is a special branch, the Healing Department!"
"Healing system?"
"Yes, as the name suggests, they are similar to doctors. Healers don't have any offensive abilities, but they can quickly heal all wounds. However, in the early stages, their abilities are very weak and they recover slowly, so people don't pay much attention to them at first. By the time people start to pay attention to them, all the healing agents have been requisitioned by the military, and ordinary people can't come into contact with them at all."
Healing-type mutants are as rare as psychic-type mutants. In the previous life, there were only five healing-type mutants in the four large bases of City G, City A, City H, and City B. The military district took over all their daily lives and did not allow them to enter and leave freely.
"If that child really is a healing mutant..." Qiao Yu frowned, his expression complicated, "It's probably not that they're not telling the truth, but that they probably really haven't realized it."
--
That night, neither Qiao Yu and his group nor Lin Yingjie and his group slept well.
Lin Yingjie was worried about the future, while Qiao Yu was mainly busy.
Qiao Yu felt that since they had made such a hasty decision to embark on this long journey, they needed to prepare more food. Judging from the current state of plant mutation, they would likely be on the road for a long time. If their supplies ran low and they had to cook everything they wanted, even with all their caution, it would still smell bad, easily arousing suspicion.
Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian consciously took on the heavy responsibilities in the kitchen. Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen originally wanted to help wash and cut vegetables and lend a hand. However, after Qiao Yu washed and rotted two cabbages and Luo Zhenzhen cut the potato shreds into 2cm wide strips, Cheng Sinian finally couldn't bear it anymore and drove these two "kitchen newbies" out.
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen looked at the closed door of the kitchen, exchanged a glance, curled their lips, and silently left the kitchen to find something else to do.
Qiao Yu first cleared out all the furniture from the main house and stored it in the space. Then, under cover of night, he took Luo Zhenzhen to the underground garage and placed a Romantes Shandka RV in the space. Fortunately, there was a dedicated passage between the garage and the main house; otherwise, if Lin Yingjie and his group saw them, they would have no explanation.
Qiao Yu stood in the reception area of the RV and took out the luggage of Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen that had been stored in the space.
The RV had a small double bedroom, a booth bed, and a lift-able hammock. The bedroom was naturally reserved for Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu. Luo Zhenzhen chose the hammock that looked like a space capsule. She said softly, "Doctor Cheng is tall, so climbing up and down might be difficult. I'm smaller than him, so getting in shouldn't be a big deal."
After spending a long time with Luo Zhenzhen, Qiao Yu liked this girl more and more.
You could say she's smart, but she's completely clueless. Ask her where her hometown is, and she'll even recite your household registration. But if you say she's stupid, she knows when to act, never listening to what she shouldn't, and never asking questions she shouldn't. She might look delicate and frail, but she never complained about the hardship of killing aliens. She's obedient, well-behaved, thoughtful, and always considerate of others. Who wouldn't like a girl like her?
Qiao Yu had experienced the end of the world, so she would instinctively be on guard against people other than Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian, but she also had to admit that it was really nice to be completely trusted by others.
But then again, this girl is good in every way except that she is too naive. What if she gets cheated by some bad boy in the future?
Qiao Yu looked at Luo Zhenzhen, who was tidying up her bedding on the hammock, and sighed silently. Then, coming to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh at his own attitude, thinking it was like raising a daughter. So he shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and went to make the bed.
Luo Zhenzhen didn't notice Qiao Yu's gaze just now, nor did she know what Qiao Yu was thinking. She was just concentrating on packing her luggage.
It was called luggage, but there wasn't much to pack. I just made the bed and put a few changes of clothes in the small locker next to it. The things in the car were just for precaution, just for show. Most of the stuff was kept in Qiao Yu's space, which was safer, so packing didn't take long. After Luo Zhenzhen made her own bed, she also made Cheng Sinian's bed.
Cheng Sinian's suitcase was filled with his bedding and clothes. As soon as Luo Zhenzhen opened it, she smelled the scent that Cheng Sinian always carried with him.
Cheng Sinian is a doctor, so he's not allowed to wear perfume at work, and he doesn't really like to wear perfume himself. But whether it's the smell of laundry detergent or shower gel, he always has a light woody scent.
Luo Zhenzhen's ears turned red from the smell. She quickly made the quilt for Cheng Sinian, not daring to look at him again, and hurriedly got out of the car.
