A normal one-year-old child can say at most one reduplicated word.
It's possible that some children have better language skills than others, but this child's eyes and tone of voice don't look like those of a one-year-old at all.
It sounds somewhat like... Dr. Yu from J City's tone.
Qiao An'an was startled by her own thought, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
The child slightly curled the corners of his mouth, but did not answer Qiao An'an.
The child's provocative manner ignited Qiao An'an's anger. She reached out and grabbed the child's tender neck, shouting, "Tell me, who exactly are you?!"
At the entrance.
To prevent the people from the capital from being captured by the ancient underwater corpses, Chen Zhou and his team put on diving suits and went to pick up about ten people from the capital.
Half of these people were the ones who confronted Fang Yuyang and his group on the top floor.
Fang Yuyang was initially worried that these people would question him about taking hostages and stealing the plane after they came in.
Unexpectedly, after these people came in, they greeted Fang Yuyang very politely: "We all heard from Teacher Tang that if you hadn't flown over and eliminated the people on the submarine, this mission would not have been successful. She said she's going to apply for a first-class merit for you!"
This was somewhat unexpected for Fang Yuyang: "I dare not accept such praise."
Among these people was a man wearing glasses, presumably an engineer. He asked, "Where are the laboratory and control room you mentioned?"
Shen Zhou led everyone into the submarine.
As soon as everyone reached the laboratory door, they saw Qiao An'an gritting her teeth and choking a one-year-old child by the neck.
This action not only terrified the people from the capital, but even Chen Zhou and his group were taken aback: "What are you doing?"
Qiao An'an wanted to explain the child's strange behavior.
But before she could even speak, the child she was choking suddenly burst into tears.
Just moments ago, this child was looking at her with an arrogant gaze.
Qiao An'an stared in surprise at the child who was crying so hard his nose was covered in snot bubbles, then looked up at the person who came in: "No, he just now..."
Among the dozen or so people in the capital, there was a young man who was seventeen or eighteen years old.
The young man's face still had a touch of childishness, but his eyes were very clear, and he was the kind of person who saw things in black and white and couldn't tolerate the slightest imperfection.
Seeing that Qiao An'an had actually tried to kill a baby less than a year old, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation and shoved Qiao An'an away: "You are so vicious, you actually tried to kill a baby!"
The young man used all his strength, and Qiao An'an was pushed so hard that she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Although Chen Zhou and the others didn't understand why Qiao An'an would pinch a baby who had just turned one year old, they trusted Qiao An'an's character, so they all stood in front of her, saying, "If you have something to say, say it. Why are you resorting to violence?"
Before the young man came to the submarine, he had heard about the heroic deeds of Qiao An'an and her companions.
He came here with a sense of reverence.
He was furious when he arrived to see his "hero" bullying a baby, and his teammates defending her without even knowing who was right or wrong. He thought, "Are we just going to watch her strangle such a small child to death?"
Among the people who came from the capital, many were ordered to stop Fang Yuyang.
Feeling somewhat guilty about what had happened, they pulled the young man aside and respectfully asked Qiao An'an and the others, "Why did you pinch that child? Can you give us a reason?"
Qiao An'an looked at the child who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.
He is behaving just like any other child.
If Qiao An'an said he looked strange and had said provocative things to her, these people certainly wouldn't believe her, since none of them had seen the child acting unusually earlier.
Let's not even talk about these people.
Even Qiao An'an herself, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes just now, wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with these children who had just turned one year old.
These kids are too good at hiding. If they were to go to the capital... Qiao An'an didn't dare to think about the consequences. She could only try her best to find evidence. Finally, she pointed to the top of the children's heads and said, "These kids and those zombies outside have all had brain surgery. I suspect these kids are not simple."
Indeed, everyone saw a large scar on the child's head.
Looking at the children's innocent faces, the people in the capital didn't think they were anything special; instead, they felt sorry for the children. They replied to Qiao An'an, "This only shows that these children were ruthlessly abused by people in the laboratory, not that they are abnormal."
Qiao An'an wanted to say that the child had spoken to her in Dr. Yu's tone, but seeing the somewhat skeptical looks in everyone's eyes, she knew that no matter what she said now, they wouldn't believe her.
On second thought, since she wasn't planning to go back to the capital anyway, and these people were willing to take the problematic child back with them, it wouldn't be her problem if something happened.
So she deliberately feigned exhaustion and said, "Maybe I was too nervous and was hallucinating..."
When the people from the capital entered through the entrance, they saw hundreds of hacked-to-death zombie corpses and knew that Qiao An'an and her group had experienced a very dangerous battle before they arrived.
Apart from that indignant young man from before.
No one criticized Qiao An'an anymore.
Shen Zhou and his group absolutely trusted Qiao An'an. While these people were repairing the abandoned submarine, they whispered to Qiao An'an, "What exactly happened just now? It couldn't have been a simple hallucination, could it?"
Qiao An'an explained everything that had just happened to Chen Zhou and the others: "When that child spoke to me, his eyes and tone were exactly the same as Dr. Yu's. At first, I couldn't figure it out, but when I saw the scar, I finally understood. This child is Dr. Yu. To be precise, the hundred children here are actually the hundred people that Ya Ya mentioned disappeared!"
Although Chen Zhou and the others found Qiao An'an's words too far-fetched, they believed that Qiao An'an would not lie: "Are you trying to tell us that these children's heads were swapped with those of the zombies?"
Qiao An'an nodded: "This is the only possibility I can think of right now."
From a scientific point of view, this is not scientific. Shen Zhou said, "The human brain has countless nerves, and there is currently no successful brain transplant surgery in the medical field."
Qiao An'an was also skeptical of her own conjecture.
But: "How do you explain the strange behavior of these children, and the hundred zombies and the scars on their heads?"
This... is inexplicable.
Chen Zhou asked, "What if I'm wrong, and they're just ordinary children?"
Qiao An'an: "What if it's correct?"
He understood the principle of being better off safe than sorry. After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhou asked, "So what do we do now?"
Qiao An'an whispered to the others, "Did you see the cameras on those people's chests? Everything that happened here should have been broadcast live to the capital. They don't trust us. If we dare to touch these children, we'll go from heroes to heinous villains. My idea is that since we're not going back to the capital's safe zone anyway, whether those children have problems or not is none of our business."
