Chapter 85 We are all adults, take responsibility for yourselves
"where?"
Rushing out with Qiao Lan were investigator Da Qi and a girl named Fu Xingyuan.
She is the only positive survivor among all the mutant guests of Tsui Wah Hotel.
After testing and verification by Qiao Lan and others, it was discovered that her awakened ability was a support ability. When she focused her energy on someone nearby, that person's elemental attack power would increase.
For example, the flame in Da Qi's palm could originally burn a piece of broken wood in three seconds. After being assisted by her, the time was shortened to two seconds and the flame became more dazzling.
After confirming her special abilities, the girl requested that she must be taken with her in the next battle, and that she would also contribute her own strength.
This time, when she heard someone screaming about a big rat, she ran out immediately.
"I'll go take a look, the others stay behind!"
Ye Qi has always been the one who leads by example and is the first to face danger.
"Add me. If it's that golden rat, it will be very troublesome to deal with it alone!" Qiao Lan checked the magazine.
Feng Feng quickly said, "It's not golden. There's one black and one gray, both about the same size!" He gestured with his hands, like a kitten, "It's near the fourth intersection to the east!"
The fourth street intersection is at least two miles away.
"They chased you all the way here," Ye Qi asked, "Where are they now, one or both?"
"Two! The black one is bigger, and the gray one is smaller. They're still over there. I ran into them halfway and didn't dare to get close, so I quickly ran over to find you!"
Everyone: “…”
The way he screamed, everyone thought he was about to get bitten on the butt by a rat.
After further questioning, it turned out that he was in the habit of taking secluded paths on his way out of the city. As he was walking, he suddenly found a rat's nest in a narrow alley between the ruins of two buildings.
A nest of little mice was guarded by two obviously mutated big mice. They rushed over to attack him when they saw him passing by, but he was fast and turned around and ran away, not letting the mice get a piece of his clothes.
After running far away, I looked back and saw that the mouse had returned to guard its nest.
Qiao Lan asked, "Are your eyes red? Is there any gold anywhere on your body?"
"No, the eyes are light red, not very red."
"That's an early-stage mutant rat that's only mutated for two days, not even at level one. It's a bit larger, posing a threat to ordinary people, but relatively easy to deal with for those of us who have already evolved." Qiao Lan judged, "If this kind of rat survives, the entire litter will soon mutate."
Generally speaking, the mother mouse mutates first, and then the baby mice in the nest follow suit.
There are already two mutant mice in the nest, one large and one small. They are probably the mother mouse and the first mouse to mutate. Usually within a week, other mice with the ability to mutate will also mutate. After a week, those that have not mutated will be abandoned by the mother mouse.
Ye Qi decided to go with Feng Feng, kill the rat and escort him out of the city.
"In your current situation, can you go out and travel alone? In the future, there will be more and more mutant creatures both inside and outside the city." Qiao Lan felt that Feng Feng's fighting ability was a bit poor.
"It's okay. I'm an evolved mutant after all. If I can't win, I won't just run away!" Feng Feng vowed.
It was as if the coward who was howling just now was not him.
Ye Qi led him out of the villa.
Because it was an early stage mutant rat, Qiao Lan knew that Ye Qi could handle it, so she didn't follow him. She was holding the crystal core and watching a video, which allowed her to evolve and relax at the same time. There was still half an episode left to watch, so she would go back and continue watching.
Everyone dispersed. The auxiliary girl Fu Xingyuan thought for a while, looked determined, and chased after him.
"Brother Ye! Please wait, I'll go with you!"
Ye Qi and the other person had already left the community and stopped when they heard the sound.
Ye Qi said: "No need, you can go back. Also, you can call me Captain Ye."
His expressionless face made Fu Xingyuan pause.
But he still walked up to her and spoke.
His tone was firm: "I want to hone my courage and combat skills! I will face many dangers in the future. As the first to awaken, I must take on the responsibilities I should bear. Ye..."
In the end, he stopped calling Ye "Big Brother" and changed his tone, saying, "Captain Ye, please give me a chance to hone my skills. Besides, the other people in the base should also be tempered. Ordinary people also need to be able to protect themselves. We can't put all the burden of protection on you few people, right?"
Ye Qi said, "We've already started making arrangements for this. We'll have everyone go out in small teams to look for supplies and train. You go back first this time."
After saying that, he left with Feng Feng without waiting for Fu Xingyuan to say anything else.
Fu Xingyuan was left at the gate of the community.
She frowned as she watched the two figures quickly disappear into the street, and without thinking, she chased after them with a stubborn look on her face.
"Sister Lan, that girl is chasing Captain Ye and the others. Is she in danger? Should we stop her and bring her back?"
Xiao Tang was on the rooftop with the newly formed guard team, guarding the surroundings. He happened to see the girl chasing after him and asked Qiao Lan using the communicator.
Qiao Lan said lazily, "That's other people's freedom of action. There's no need to interfere."
We are all adults, so we should be responsible for our own safety.
But speaking of it, the base's entry and exit controls are not well implemented. Why didn't the gatekeeper stop her? People with special abilities cannot be given preferential treatment. Without a valid reason, no one should go out and wander around, so as not to cause trouble for the base.
Qiao Lan contacted Jiang Yue, the team leader in charge of gate guarding, and mentioned it to him on the intercom.
Jiang Yue immediately said, "Thank you, Miss Qiao! I will definitely take this matter seriously. People with special abilities cannot come and go without reporting!"
"Well, I'm just making a casual suggestion. You can discuss among yourselves how to manage the base." Qiao Lan did not interfere in other people's internal affairs.
But this young man Jiang Yue is no other than the one who, when he was at the Cuihua Hotel, was given some compressed biscuits by Qiao Lan in the corridor. Qiao Lan didn't remember him, but he remembered Qiao Lan deeply and was grateful to her in his heart.
He immediately took Qiao Lan's suggestion very seriously.
He went to the gate of the villa and reprimanded the team members in charge of guarding the gate, and then stood guard at the gate himself.
About half an hour later, Fu Xingyuan came back alone, and Jiang Yue stopped her outside the door.
"You didn't register as required when you left. You will be subject to an inspection upon your return, and you will be deprived of food for a day."
Fu Xingyuan was shocked and angry: "I went to help Captain Ye fight the mutant beasts!"
