Chapter 88
Wuyou hadn't slept well the previous night. She'd gone into a house early in the morning, before daybreak, and emerged hours later with several small bottles of liquid. She handed the liquid to the person next to her, her voice exhausted, "Take it down and share it with them."
The other party nodded and took out the liquid immediately and obediently like a robot.
Wuyou called everyone over after a while. Looking at everyone's condition, his originally extremely uneasy mood finally eased.
She only trusts people who are completely obedient. That's why she prefers an obedient fool to a smart person with his own ideas.
At night, thinking that the medicine was fully effective and that the people around her would become more and more loyal, Wuyou finally felt a lot more at ease. She was sleeping soundly when she suddenly felt a cold touch on her arm, like some scales, and it was still moving slowly. This strange and shuddering touch woke Wuyou up suddenly.
She looked over and saw a huge snake crawling on her bed. She screamed and her subordinates quickly came in. Compared to the afternoon, these people's eyes looked even more dull. Wuyou didn't care about them and just shouted, "Kill it!"
The giant snake coiled around Wuyou, and she didn't dare move at all. She was afraid that if she moved, the giant snake would immediately coil around her to death, and then it would be even more difficult to save her. At this moment, she had no choice but to place her hopes on her subordinates.
Seeing those people rushing over fearlessly, swords drawn, Wuyou felt a surge of pride. Luckily, she was smart and prepared early. Otherwise, most people would have been frightened to death by such a terrifying snake. Would anyone be willing to risk their lives to save her? Probably not.
Several people surrounded the snake, picked up their swords and started slashing at it. Wuyou watched their sharp and powerful movements, and his initial peace of mind suddenly turned into fear. Until someone stabbed him in the lower abdomen, Wuyou's fears finally came true.
“Stop! Stop!”
"What are you doing? You must have thought it through, right? I knew you were all lying to me. In fact, you all look down on me..."
Blood flowed endlessly, those people seemingly deaf to a word. Their indiscriminate attacks landed partly on the snake, partly on Wandi, and partly on themselves and their companions. Seeing this horrific scene, Wuyou was filled with despair. These idiot puppets no longer had any power to think for themselves; their minds were filled only with instructions.
Kill the snake, then they will not stop until the snake is still alive.
Wuyou was stabbed, and the snake was also stabbed and stimulated to coil itself tighter. When it was dying, someone suddenly appeared and deflected the sword that was still stabbing down, and hit the snake's vital point again.
Wuyou looked up and saw Wandi. Before he fainted, he saw Ji Wenxue, Jiang Zouwei, and Ying Zhao gathered around him.
Ying Zhao immediately tended to the wounds. Besides Wuyou, all of Wuyou's friends were also injured to varying degrees. Everyone else helped to treat the wounds. As Wandi tended to one person, her expression grew increasingly grave. This reminded her of the human experiments conducted on Dick Hydrogen Planet, where those injected with drugs transformed into "obedient living dead."
Is Wuyou also connected to Dick Hydrogen Planet, or is there some fish that has escaped and is now trying to make a comeback?
Wandi left immediately after handling the matter. She wanted to find out the truth.
Soon, Wandi discovered an unusual house. She pushed the door open and found a place that looked like Ying Zhao's laboratory. On the laboratory table, she picked up a bottle of powder. It should have been processed into this form, so how could it be seen in its original form?
But there was no way Eveny would make a mistake; it was the wood from the tree house.
Back in Wuyou's room, he was already awake. Amidst everyone's concern, Wuyou looked up and saw Wandi pushing the door open. The next second, he saw the small bottle in her hand.
Wuyou's heart trembled, knowing that he could no longer hide it.
"After escaping from the base, I wandered around. When I arrived at the Mirror Planet, my friends were very kind and enthusiastic to help me. They also encouraged me all the time, so I participated in the election and I was successful in the end." Wuyou took the initiative to talk about his experience.
"At first I was very happy, but soon I was overwhelmed by a strong sense of inferiority and insecurity. I felt that I was originally insignificant and had only reached this position temporarily by luck. But over time, would everyone discover my ignorance? I was also always worried that one day I would fall from this position."
"Wealth, high position, none of these can make me feel at ease. I accidentally heard that someone in the universe has produced a drug that can make people around you loyal. The side effect is that these people will become stupid."
"I was intrigued and searched everywhere, only to find out the planet where I was born no longer existed. Then, by chance, I heard about people who had similar experiences and grew into trees after death, and these trees had the same effect. I began frantically collecting trees from all over the universe, and to my surprise, I finally found them on Earth."
"I gave them medicine, and they did become obedient, but now... I regret it."
Wuyou was seriously injured and fainted again after saying something. Everyone treated him and returned to the room to rest, still in shock.
"Wuyou collected tree houses because of this. It's too scary." Ying Zhao still felt a chill on his back when he thought about it.
"Those people have been infected by the virus." Ji Wenxue said regretfully. Suddenly, her chin was lifted up, and Wan Di looked at her face carefully.
"I didn't have time to ask you then, what happened to your eyes?"
Ji Wenxue's heart suddenly began to beat wildly. She had acted without authorization, and if she failed in such a dangerous matter, there was almost no chance of survival.
When she woke up that day, she found that half of her heart had turned into a mechanical heart with gears rotating, and one of her eyes had turned red with a scanning function.
The eyes are like a special receiver. What she sees will immediately trigger the program in her body to run and then analyze the corresponding data.
"I... I had a minor surgery." Ji Wenxue didn't want to lie to Wandi. Besides, even if she lied, Wandi would find out sooner or later. Instead of being scolded then, it's better to be honest now.
"Minor surgery?" Wandi was skeptical. "Did your eye get hurt?"
"No."
The eyes were not injured, so what caused the change in eye color? Suddenly, she remembered what Ying Zhaohe had said to her that day. Wan Di hurriedly pulled up Ji Wenxue's wrist, and there was indeed a wound on it.
Wan Di found the place in no time, and Ji Wenxue could no longer delay. She stroked Wan Di's hand with her fingers and explained the matter honestly.
"Ying Zhao, please check Wen Xue's body again." Wan Di looked at Ying Zhao next to her.
Ying Zhao nodded, she was also worried.
"No need, I'm fine..." Ji Wenxue's voice became smaller and smaller.
"You continue with your conversation." Wandi sat next to him.
"Okay, after I finished writing the program, I went to Sister Ying Zhao's laboratory and imported the program into the machine. Once the instrument was connected to my body, the program would start..."
As Ji Wenxue spoke, everyone was terrified.
"How can you be so bold?" Jiang Zouwei tapped Ji Wenxue's forehead. In her impression, Ji Wenxue was a smart and cute child who acted cautiously and sometimes even a little timid.
Ji Wenxue chuckled twice.
"You didn't come with us at that time because you wanted to take advantage of the fact that we were not taking action, right?" Wan Di thought of Ji Wenxue's extremely tough rejection that day.
Ji Wenxue nodded embarrassedly, "I'm afraid you won't agree."
"Of course." Wandi stood up again, pulled Ji Wenxue's clothes open, and looked at the gears on the surface that fit together tightly, which seemed like another kind of heartbeat that never stopped.
"You're taking too much risk. You don't even know what the side effects or aftereffects will be. You're experimenting on your own body."
Ji Wenxue could see that no matter what everyone said, there was deep concern and heartache in their eyes, and the gears in her chest seemed to turn faster.
"I don't want to carry inferior genes. If I don't care, it could become a ticking time bomb." Ji Wenxue held Wandi's hand. "Although there are still many unknowns, I'm enjoying every minute of my life after the surgery. Compared to before when I was always worried and anxious, I feel much better now."
Sincere words easily touched people's hearts. Wandi touched Ji Wenxue's forehead. Although silent, her eyes were worth more than a thousand words.
Ying Zhao's examination results finally came back. "Now all body functions are normal, and the wounds are healing well."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Ji Wenxue. She hadn't actually done any tests before coming here; she'd just closed her eyes and felt for a moment. She could run and jump, and breathe smoothly, so she couldn't wait to come to Mirror Planet. Now, after hearing Ying Zhao's words, she was finally sure she was fine, at least not yet.
"But Wenxue, I have no experience in this area and cannot guarantee the follow-up. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must come to me."
"Okay, I understand." Ji Wenxue agreed, lowering her head and rolling her eyes. Suddenly she raised her head and pointed at her eyes excitedly, "Oh, my eyes have super powers now. They can see things that you can't see."
Ji Wenxue stood up and demonstrated to everyone.
"Take this table, for example. I can tell at a glance what its raw materials are, where it's from, when it was produced, and which batch it's from... Also, just by looking at someone, I can immediately analyze their mood, whether they're lying, and what their subconscious movements mean."
Ji Wenxue enthusiastically demonstrated the experiment to everyone one by one. When they were sitting in the room, they suddenly heard a loud noise outside, coming from the direction of Wuyou's room. Everyone looked at each other and ran out quickly.
When we arrived at Wuyou's room, Wuyou forced himself to keep his eyes open wide, his face and body covered in blood, looking a little scary.
