Chapter 67 Um, I need to go to the bathroom first
Ye Qi was covered in wounds, bandaged like a dumpling, sitting in a wheelchair he had found from somewhere, and still using a communicator.
"Five minutes? Okay, I'll wait."
"If we can't make it in five minutes, we'll leave. You'll stay and guard the base after you arrive."
Putting down the communicator, he looked at Qiao Lan, "There's another team, wait a little longer."
Qiao Lan felt a little relieved.
Still has the ability to fight?
It's not easy to gather so much fighting force at this time.
As expected, they are security personnel with greater authority than ordinary police officers.
but……
She looked at the wheelchair under Ye Qi and asked, "Are you planning to stay here?"
Otherwise, you can drive a wheelchair to crush the enemy. What a joke.
But Ye Qi took out a syringe and a tube of needle from his pocket, and gave himself an injection in the arm with very quick movements.
The syringe was so big and there was so much medicine in it, he just pushed it in with a "whoosh".
Qiao Lan felt pain just looking at it.
Ye Qi dropped the syringe, closed his eyes, and breathed heavily, obviously feeling very uncomfortable.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing.
"What medicine? Stimulants?" This was the first thing Qiao Lan thought of.
This dog wouldn't force himself to be strong enough to go to the battlefield, would he? That would be very dangerous, he's seriously injured now.
If you force yourself to move when you are extremely weak, you may die accidentally. The average person's body cannot withstand such abuse.
Xiao Zhou stood nearby, his face tense, his eyes fixed on the captain, observing his condition. He whispered to Qiao Lan, "It's a potion distributed by the higher-ups, and...similar to the potion produced in the area we're going to attack."
“?!”
Qiao Lan was startled and turned to stare at Xiao Zhou.
"How could the government have something like that? Explain it to me clearly."
Based on what she had seen and heard in her previous life, as well as the information she had recently extracted from the captives through torture, Saint Yes Company had begun spreading banned toxins before the apocalypse, and had intensified its efforts after the apocalypse. In short, they were trying every possible way to conduct mutation research, and were a very evil biological pharmaceutical company.
Later in the apocalypse, a number of similar small companies emerged, some of which had close ties with Saint Yes, while others were not comparable to Saint Yes in terms of research level.
It can be said that the behemoth Saint Yes is unrivaled in causing harm to living beings, and no one can match it.
And now, at the beginning of the apocalypse, Ye Gou actually has official medicine in his hands?
A potion similar to Saint Yes?
Could it be that the official and Saint Yes...
What ulterior motive is the state machinery teaming up with an evil company to hatch?
No way!
This is not our national style!
Xiao Zhou quickly whispered, "Don't get me wrong, Miss Qiao, the higher-ups have nothing to do with any criminal organization."
"That?"
"It's like this, Miss Qiao, didn't we communicate with headquarters recently..."
Xiaozhou explained quickly.
They were originally assigned to investigate a criminal organization. They knew only that the organization possessed dangerous toxins and might be spreading poisonings. Upon arriving in City C, their primary mission was to keep a close eye on the suspects, preventing them from poisoning while uncovering more clues, striving to understand the organization's structure and apprehend all suspects.
As for what the toxin is, investigators are not quite sure.
All we know is that it is a high-risk banned drug that can cause sudden death or rapid deformity if even a little bit of it comes into contact with it.
Their surveillance of the city's important suspect No. 6 at C University, their pursuit of him to the Tsui Wah Hotel, and their investigation of Qiao Lan, who was accidentally involved, all stemmed from this.
But the sudden storm disrupted everything.
After reestablishing contact with the headquarters, the higher-ups released more information to the local teams.
It turns out that the toxins in the hands of the criminal organization were not developed by the organization itself.
But it comes from nature.
Half a year ago.
Deep in the tropical rainforest of Africa F, a team of adventure enthusiasts discovered an ultra-deep cave.
When we ventured down into the cave to explore, we unexpectedly found fossil fragments of organisms from various stages of life on the cave walls that were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years old.
The cave was so deep that they couldn't get to the bottom, but the detector they dropped in took some pictures, and the bottom of the cave seemed to be a solid layer of ice.
"This discovery seems to be very important, related to planetary archaeology, biological evolution, and so on..." Xiao Zhou thought for a moment and decided to skip this part. He didn't quite understand it. "Anyway, the scientific community was excited for a while, and a group of scientific expedition teams went there... But after two months, all the personnel were withdrawn, and the place was sealed."
"because?"
"Because a potent toxin has leaked from the cave, it's said to be capable of destroying all of humanity."
"Is it the kind that Aunt He and the others have?"
"No, when the scientific community tacitly decided to seal off that dangerous forbidden area, some private consortiums and secret organizations stepped in to research and develop the toxin. Some even began conducting experiments on living people and poisoning the public. The drugs they are currently developing are modified versions of the original toxin."
Qiao Lan understood: "The one your captain is using now was secretly modified by our officials?"
According to her official understanding, while her country's research on biological and chemical weapons would never harm anyone, it also couldn't allow others to harm them. Some secret research was synchronized with other countries and organizations around the world, to prevent the enemy from sabotaging them and leaving them without a response plan.
Sure enough, Xiaozhou nodded.
Before they came to City C to investigate, the team distributed three tubes of medicine. They were not told what they were used for, but were told not to lose or spill them.
This communication informed us that it was a modified toxin that could stimulate mutation in the human body.
Don't use it unless absolutely necessary.
"Is it safe?" Qiao Lan looked at Ye Qi who was still gasping for breath.
"It is said to be more conservative and safer than criminal organizations." Xiao Zhou said this, his face showing tension.
"There's a poison potion, but no antidote?"
"Yes, our research focuses on safety, so it may be lagging behind."
Xiaozhou sighed.
Not only is there not enough time for toxin research, but also for crime prevention.
The criminal organization they were investigating was discovered by their superiors a month ago. Unfortunately, when they urgently deployed to intercept it, they encountered an unexpected storm.
Qiao Lan frowned. "You just said, 'some organizations'? Could it be that besides Aunt He's organization, there are other groups conducting toxin research..."
"...Ms. Qiao, that's indeed the case. There's more than just one organization. And based on the information available, the suspect, 'Auntie He,' isn't even a high-ranking member of the organization. They have many branches around the world."
Qiao Lan rolled her eyes secretly.
This is a serious matter.
Isn’t Aunt He a senior executive?
"So what do you guys do?"
"According to local conditions, we will first eliminate the gangs we know about, and then expand the crackdown."
"Are there just these few people?" Qiao Lan glanced at the investigators and special police officers in the courtyard.
Including her, there are less than 20 people.
How can we continue to fight against evil forces in an environment where the whole place is in ruins after the disaster, there is no transportation, no communication, and no auxiliary forces?
What a joke.
You are not Avengers soldiers, and everyone has super powers.
Even the Avengers couldn't withstand a snap of the villain's fingers.
At this moment, Qiao Lan began to think about giving up.
Revenge is important, and killing the person who carried out the pursuit plan to prevent himself from suffering is also important, but all the troubles can be solved only by killing Aunt He.
If Aunt He is eliminated, there will be a steady stream of high-ranking criminal gang members and even other criminal gangs...
There will be endless troubles.
She didn't want to stir up a hornet's nest.
Is it okay to stay away from the hornet's nest, move the safe house to a faraway place, squat in a remote place in the deep mountains and forests, and survive quietly by relying on the space?
Although there are mutant beasts in the deep forest, we should be able to deal with them if we are vigilant. It is definitely easier to deal with than a criminal gang that has both guns and evolvers, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a loud roar.
In the sky, a small helicopter quickly landed outside the yard. Four people jumped out and climbed over the wall into the yard without even going through the door.
At the same time, Ye Qi suddenly stood up from the wheelchair.
The tightly closed eyes finally opened, and a light purple light flashed in the bottom of the eyes.
"Captain, are you okay?" Xiao Zhou was excited.
Here we come!
Qiao Lan was a little more excited than Xiao Zhou.
She finally witnessed the early stages of Ye Yanwang's mutation.
This is how Ye Gou got his special ability!
It turns out that it relies on modified potions!
It was indeed safer than Saint Yes and did not cause any negative mutations. It took such a long time, and although the process was a little painful, he actually awakened his superpowers.
Isn’t that lavender light the lightning element of Ye Yanwang?
She still remembered hearing someone say that in the last days, Ye Yanwang struck with a bolt of lightning, and with a loud crack, dozens of enemies turned into charred black sticks.
It's so scary.
Qiao Lan observed Ye Qi silently, wondering how powerful Ye Yanwang was in the early stage, and how many people he could kill.
Although she was excited, she had not lost her mind.
I guess it won’t kill many people.
As for Aunt He's organization, there might be a steady stream of Evolved people counterattacking later...
Can Ye Yanwang's growth keep up with the speed of the enemy's counterattack?
not necessarily!
"You're here."
The light in Ye Qi's eyes faded and he greeted the visitor.
He looked at his watch: "Exactly five minutes. Join the team and get ready to go."
"At ease!"
"Tell me about it!"
At a command, the new arrivals quickly joined the line, and Xiaozhou also ran over to line up.
Everyone stands at ease, chest out and listen to the lecture.
Ye Qi looked at Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan was stunned.
What? You want me to queue up with you?
"Um... ahem!" she whispered. "I'm going to the bathroom first. You guys go ahead, I'll catch up."
She is going to escape.
She needs to stay away from the hornet's nest.
Everyone, it's not that I'm not fair, I just really have to pee, seriously.
