Chapter 159 Chapter 159
Two days later, it was time to leave for the capital.
Before going to the train station, Qingtong and the other two first came to the weird response department. They were called by Yu Miaoqing because there was something for them.
In the office, three people sitting on chairs looked at the three small bottles of red liquid on the table, with confused looks on their faces.
"This is a healing potion," Yu Miaoqing said. "The country developed it based on the healing potion sold by the weird merchant. Although the effect is a little worse than the original, it is much stronger than all the healing drugs on the market now."
The salvation system whispered in Qingtong's mind: "It's not just a little bit off, it's a hundred million points off. The effect of this medicine is only 10% of the original effect."
Yu Miaoqing couldn't hear the system, so she continued, "This medicine is for external spray. If there are particularly serious injuries and the rescue team can't arrive in time, you can open the bottle and pour the medicine on. The amount to use will be determined based on the healing of the injury. Keep them all. This thing has just been developed, and there are not many finished products. Currently, the entire Heng City has only applied for five, and I'll give you three."
The Savior System continued to mutter, "The medicine sold in the mall can be taken orally or used externally, but this medicine can only be used externally..."
Qingtong looked at the red liquid in the small test tube. Compared with the small bottle of medicine he sent out, the amount in the container was much smaller, and the color was turbid like red ink mixed with residue. It was unlike the potion from the system mall he sent out, which was crystal clear red, like flowing top-grade ruby.
Both the quantity and quality are far inferior to what he sent, but considering the time since he sent the potion, being able to develop a finished product in just a few days is not a bad result.
"Is this the final result of the research and development?" Qingtong asked.
Yu Miaoqing smiled and said, "How is that possible? This is just a product from the initial stage of research. Because the effect is good, we use it first. The research institute is not satisfied with the product. It is inferior to the original potion in all aspects, so it is still under further analysis and research, and will definitely be further improved in the future."
Qingtong nodded.
Huang Tianzhen happily picked up the test tube and pointed it at the sky outside the window. Through the red glass bottle, he saw a deeper red color.
He moved the test tube away from his eyes and looked out the window, and saw a little girl without facial features sticking to the window and looking into the office. Their office was on the third floor, and Huang Tianzhen was unprepared to see such a face. He was so scared that he threw the test tube in his hand away.
Fortunately, Baxiong'an next to him was quick to take it immediately, so he didn't lose a precious medicine before he set off.
Yu Miaoqing glared at him: "You, calm down a bit too."
"No..." Huang Tianzhen pointed out the window, then pointed at himself, "Is this my fault?"
Anyone who unexpectedly sees that face will be shocked.
Qingtong glanced at the little girl outside the window, his lips slightly pursed, and immediately realized that the Faceless Child was somewhat unhappy and flew away immediately.
Qing Tong then spoke up, "The Faceless Child has been living in Heng City's Weird Response Department. Don't you know that?"
"I know that's right, but I didn't encounter him the last few times I came here..." Huang Tianzhen shook his head, "Sorry. Brother Xiong'an, why don't you keep it for me?"
"No, you have to take it." Yu Miaoqing said, "I'm preparing this for your safety on the road. The train takes six hours and has thirteen stops along the way. No one knows what will happen. If you encounter something strange and need to fight, and the three of you are unfortunately separated, carrying your own medicine is equivalent to carrying half an extra life."
Ba Xiong'an handed the medicine to Huang Tianzhen, who took it carefully with both hands.
"I have prepared special rubber box packaging for you, so be careful in the future." Yu Miaoqing warned, "When the train stops, you will meet people like you who are going to the capital from other cities. When the time comes, everyone will be uniformed. You can recognize someone by their clothes. By the way, I’ve brought your uniforms, so go ahead and put them on.”
The uniform that Yu Miaoqing prepared was dark green, and the material was very light and breathable, but also very strong. The tailoring also focused on flexibility, as if it took into account all kinds of possibilities. There were many zippered pockets on the clothes, which could hold a lot of things. There was even a thin groove on the edge of the shoe, which Qingtong picked open with his fingers, but there was nothing inside.
"It's for storing small weapons or tools," Yu Miaoqing explained. "But there's nothing there now. Weapon-type monsters are hard to come by. There should be more in the future... probably."
"You won't equip us with weapons? What if we encounter something strange on the road?" Huang Tianzhen asked.
Yu Miaoqing looked at Qingtong, and Qingtong said, "I can prepare three small daggers, but don't be too far away from me when using them. I don't know if the weapons that are too far away from me will automatically return to their original state or turn back into liquid state, and I can't guarantee how strong they are, so be careful when using them."
Of course, the last two sentences were lies. Qingtong had just "woken up". In the eyes of others, he was just a patient who had been recuperating at home for a long time. It was impossible for him to immediately understand the limit of his ability. At the same time, he warned his teammates not to act arrogantly just because they had weapons that could deal with weird things.
"Okay, I know." Huang Tianzhen assured with a smile.
After the three of them changed their clothes, Yu Miaoqing gave them their ID cards. Only with the ID cards did they become full-time employees of the weird response department.
"Junior police officer Huang Tianzhen from the Weird Response Department Hengshi Branch!" Huang Tianzhen excitedly showed his ID, "Look, it's awesome!"
Yu Miaoqing rubbed his brows and said, "With this certificate, you can carry weapons in and out of any occasion, but remember, the certificate is also your shackles. Don't bully others by relying on your status, otherwise the certificate will not only be taken back, you will have to accept the punishment."
"Don't worry!" Huang Tianzhen put the document into his pocket with a smile and kept it carefully.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the three of them arrived at the train station carrying large and small bags.
After leaving the strange response department, Huang Tianzhen's phone kept ringing. His parents kept calling and telling him to report home when he was safe, to be careful, and to run away if he couldn't beat the strange. They also worried about whether he had enough food and clothes outside, and whether he could ask for money from home if he didn't have enough.
Huang Tianzhen said helplessly to his parents on the other end of the phone: "I know, don't worry, I'm an adult, over 20 years old, I can take care of myself, I'm not a baby. I will definitely eat well, beer? I know, I will drink less, if I really go to perform the mission, I will definitely not go drunk, I also understand the truth! Money? Don't worry about it, food and accommodation are taken care of by Beijing, I also got a salary card, you don't have to worry about money in the future..."
Baxiong'an looked at Qingtong who was carrying a suitcase and asked, "Aren't you going to call your family?"
"Hmm? No need." Qingtong said, "I already said what I wanted to say on the phone a few days ago."
His mother was the most straightforward person. After confirming that he was indeed awake and his intention to deal with the department was unchanged, she readily agreed. His father did nag for a while, but the two younger ones were the ones who were really uncomfortable. His sister was fine. She just nagged him a few times to be careful. Like Huang Tianzhen's parents, she told him to run away if he couldn't win, so as not to lose face. As for his brother... he put aside his bold words and said that he would wake up in the future and then deal with the department in a weird way.
If possible, he didn't want Yan Jun to awaken. All awakenings were genetic mutations caused by the impact of the weird power on the body. Such changes could kill people if they were not careful. Even if they survived, it didn't mean they could live a hundred years. When the weird power invaded the body and when fighting against the weird, they were facing the threat of death.
For example, yesterday a twelve-year-old girl encountered something strange and the strange power invaded her body cells. She couldn't resist and died.
The salvation system has observed that if the little girl can withstand the destruction of the weird power, she can awaken the ability of ice attribute. Unfortunately, Qingtong and the salvation system can't help her. The potion that can reverse to the monster state is really too expensive, equivalent to three weird power-related secret books. The salvation points need to be saved for a long time. When she was in trouble, the balance in Qingtong Mall was not enough.
Weighing the pros and cons in the initial stage, Qingtong had already given up accumulating salvation points to exchange for retroactive potions. There were too many people who failed to awaken, and he could not save them all.
During the days when Qingtong was recuperating from his injury and postponed his trip to the capital, there was no third awakened person in the entire Heng City except Qingtong and Huang Tianzhen. This shows how difficult it is to awaken.
"Don't you contact your parents?" Qingtong asked.
Baxiong'an shook his head: "I called last night. I was originally a soldier."
There was nothing wrong with a soldier rushing to the most dangerous front. His parents had known what kind of work he was doing for a long time and just told him to take care of himself over the phone.
Some jobs are very dangerous, but someone has to do them. He is just one of them.
The train arrived at the station. I got on the train with my suitcase ten minutes in advance. Huang Tianzhen finally finished his call. He hung up the phone and checked the battery level: "Oh my god, only 20% left. This phone is a waste of power. I need to change it in the future."
The three followed the crowd onto the train. Because their dark green uniforms stood out, many people looked over at them curiously. Two brave girls came over and started a conversation with them, "Are you from the Weird Response Department?"
"Yes, hello." Huang Tianzhen smiled and said, "Can you tell it's a pretty girl?"
The two girls nodded excitedly. One of them said that she had a relative in this department. He was originally in the public security department but was transferred there. His uniform was very similar to those of Qingtong and the other two.
Huang Tianzhen had a very good chat with the two girls and they even added each other's contact information. Unfortunately, their carriages were not adjacent, so they separated after getting on the train.
"Hehe, I knew I was so handsome that girls would come to chat with me soon." Huang Tianzhen proudly waved his phone at the two of them, "I said you two, you both have such a stinky face, girls don't dare to chat with me anymore."
Just like what Huang Tianzhen said, Ba Xiong'an was born in the army, and he originally had a sharp aura, and he didn't like to smile much, which made it difficult for people to get close to him. Although Qingtong was not as strong as Ba Xiong'an, his face was a little cold, and he had a distant and cold temperament. He was not the type of person that girls would be willing to get close to.
Only Huang Tianzhen is a sunny boy who is easy to talk to.
"It's not you who's handsome." Qingtong said coldly, "It's your clothes that are handsome. If you change your clothes, they won't look at you anymore."
Huang Tianzhen knew this, of course. He said to Ba Xiong'an stubbornly, "Look, Qingtong is definitely being sarcastic to me."
Baxiong'an nodded: "I think he is right."
Huang Tianzhen: …
No love, guys.
