Gu Yan did not react, seemingly unconcerned about her question.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jing realized a problem: how to explain the existence of superpowers.
After all, the general consensus now is that the so-called apocalypse is only temporary!
A blizzard ravaged the land.
Avalanches are covering and encroaching on human living space!
These things will eventually pass...
Shen Jing sighed, "Don't think I don't know you're cursing me for being too kind in your heart."
Gu Yan casually said, "In your previous life, you would have said that in the end times, the Holy Mother should be killed first."
Don't remind her anymore; she remembers that she transmigrated into the book and became the villainous female supporting character!
Looking at the battered camouflage uniforms, Shen Jing felt a pang of sadness. They were flesh and blood, not just words in a book…
If the book she saw before she died in her previous life was the original book, then many plot points wouldn't match up.
At least Gu Yan wouldn't be this...close to her.
It's all in chaos, everything's in complete disarray.
If that's the case, shouldn't it be possible for superpowers to awaken in humans ahead of time?
Shen Jing gripped the mutated vine tightly in her hand and whispered, "Isn't there any other way?"
Gu Yan said with a dark face, "Don't forget, consuming crystal cores to amplify superpowers carries the risk of self-destruction."
After saying that, he took the mutated vine from her hand.
The mutated vine turned to ashes in an instant and then disappeared.
After doing all this, Gu Yan gripped her hand tightly. "What do you think the person who created these mutated vines did for?"
Why? Shen Jing's attention was diverted by his question.
Of course it's to become stronger... Could it be?
"Hmph, he has a lightning-type crystal core, but he doesn't dare to use it." A mocking glint flashed in Gu Yan's eyes.
"Who... is he? Wait a minute, according to the timeline, you shouldn't have been to the lab."
"Who said I haven't been there?" Gu Yan gave a cold, gloomy laugh.
He continued casually, "Those who naturally awaken their superpowers don't need to self-destruct, *bang*."
"Oh no, I'm going deaf."
She rubbed her ears, putting the matter out of her mind for the time being.
She couldn't afford the consequences of actually consuming the crystal core and self-destructing!
Moreover, she could tell that Gu Yan didn't want to talk about the lab.
If she had gone through what she did, she probably wouldn't want to think about it either...
Having confirmed that the mutated vines were no longer capable of attacking, Elder Zheng and the others watched in shock as Shen Jing slowly walked back.
I don't understand how she did it, how she managed to solve such a troublesome killer vine!
Old Zheng had only mentioned the mutated vines casually that day, his intention being simply to remind her to be careful.
Unexpectedly, it was Shen Jing who rescued him.
But now is not the time to ask questions, there are just too many wounded, including his own grandson.
It would be a lie to say I don't feel heartache and worry!
Whose heart isn't made of flesh? It's just that Zheng Zongbo had to sacrifice so many people to save his grandson.
He can't do it... There are countless families behind those people!
After resting for a while, Old Zheng led them back to the temporary command post.
It's actually just an office building, not far from the municipal government.
The military doctor was already waiting on the 9th floor.
They arranged the wounded in a well-organized manner, and those who were unconscious and seriously injured were sent to intensive care.
Although it's called intensive care, the medical equipment isn't even complete.
We'll try anything, even if it's a desperate situation, we'll save as many as we can.
It's just a few beds pushed together; that's what they call an emergency room, and people with injuries are put there.
There were quite a few people, but compared to the emergency room before the apocalypse, this place was much quieter and more orderly.
At this moment, Shen Jing also sat down beside Old Zheng.
Zheng Zongbo's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't utter a single word of pain while the wound was being stitched up!
Shen Jing admired him greatly, which reminded her of when she forced herself to overcome her fear of blood in her previous life.
She felt the pain more than the injured people, which was not a pleasant experience.
Gu Yan kept staring at Shen Jing as if no one else was around, and of course he noticed her slightly stiff expression.
He lowered his head and tugged at the corners of his mouth, the smile reaching deep into his eyes.
Old Zheng was also looking at Gu Yan at this moment.
He is old, but not to the point of being blind. It would be no problem for him to remember such an outstanding young man.
This is the youngest son of the Gu family in the capital, but I heard he died in a car accident before the apocalypse.
But now it has appeared in City S.
The box in his hand should be the nutrient solution that Shen Yatou mentioned!
The Liang family had always kept their nutrient solution a secret, but these two actually brought a whole box of it.
But these should all be distributed to ordinary people, so why are they here?
Old Zheng's mind was racing, but he didn't show it on his face.
After the bandage was applied, Old Zheng impatiently shooed his secretary away: "I'm fine, don't make a fuss!"
After saying that, he pulled Shen Jing to his office, which was also his lounge.
Old Zheng cut to the chase: "Have you found that researcher from last time?"
Shen Jing smiled, "He doesn't really want to face the officials."
These are Gu Yan's exact words; this person finds trouble even more troublesome than she does.
However, Shen Jing also found it hard to imagine that Gu Yan would explain the use of nutrient solution to others in a kind and gentle manner.
Pfft, Gu Yan just sat coldly on the podium, responding with indifferent silence.
Whether the seed can grow or not? It doesn't matter, he's drinking nutrient solution.
"I understand, I understand." Old Zheng nodded slightly. "Did he reveal a solution?"
After saying that, he remembered the nutrient solution, "We can't just rely on the nutrient solution, we can't do without food!"
