Wang Xin, carrying a bowl of noodles, walked over and stood in front of Ye Shang. "Captain Ye, I..."
Because he was missing one wrist, he held the bowl in his arms, his right hand holding the bowl, while his left hand was tucked into his pocket, barely daring to show it.
Ye Shang paused in his action of swishing for noodles, glanced at him, and said, "Sit."
Wang Xin then placed the noodles on the table and began to eat them one by one with chopsticks.
Ye Shang glanced at his eating motions and said, "Finish your noodles first."
She hadn't asked about the situation of the returning superhumans last night.
Wang Xin paused for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Ah, okay."
After saying that, he picked up a large mouthful of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, slurping it down incredibly fast.
In no time, the large bowl of noodles was finished, and the soup in the bowl was all drunk up.
He then put down his chopsticks and looked timidly at Ye Shang.
Seeing that he finished eating in no time, Ye Shang twitched her eyelids, said nothing, and continued eating her noodles.
Along the way, Zhang Ming, carrying a bowl of noodles, slowly flew over. He was the superhuman who had lost his leg last night. He was floating around wearing pants, with his right calf empty. Fortunately, he was a flying superhuman, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to float over so slowly.
He floated in front of Ye Shang's table, holding a bowl of noodles, not daring to speak.
Ye Shang glanced at him as well, "Same here, sit down and eat first, then we'll talk."
There were only three stools next to the table, plus the soft chair Ye Shang was sitting in, making a total of four. Now there's one left.
Ye Shang wondered if anyone else would come.
Just as she was about to ask for noodles, another person came over. Han Yi walked over with a large bowl of noodles and sat on the remaining stool.
He chuckled as he looked at the group of people in front of him. "You guys chat, I'll eat my noodles."
Ye Shang was somewhat speechless; it really did need to be completely full.
Zhang Ming also slurped up the noodles in big mouthfuls and finished eating in no time.
Ye Shang had finished eating by then. She took out a pack of tissues, wiped her mouth, and pointed to the tissues, saying, "You guys wipe your mouths too."
Wang Xin and Zhang Ming each tore off a card. After erasing it, they sat obediently on the stool like elementary school students, with their hands on their knees, not daring to move.
Han Yi ate slowly, not in a hurry at all. He wanted to see how Captain Ye would deal with the two men. In fact, he thought there was a high probability that they would be transferred to the logistics department.
He was just there for the spectacle. Anyway, the logistics department was used to accepting people with superpowers, and people with superpowers were actually quite capable. Since he was in charge of all the logistics superpowered people, he could naturally keep an eye on everything.
Ye Shang glanced at Han Yi's amused expression and didn't intend to say anything to him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Actually, I mentioned yesterday that the base is currently researching mechanical prosthetics. You can try them out when you get back."
Wang Xin and Zhang Ming looked at each other, and Wang Xin said, "Captain Ye, I know that."
That's not what they wanted to ask; they wanted to know if they would be transferred.
Ye Shang could tell what they were eager to know, so he smiled slightly and said, "They won't be transferred. The mechanical prosthetics can fully meet your normal needs, and may even have other uses."
The mechanical prosthetic limb project has been under research for a long time. According to Qingli, the current progress is to the point where it can be attached to and detached from the human body. However, the current initial model is still not very flexible to use.
But the two people in front of him are both flight ability users. Even if they are not that agile, they can still fly. This does not affect their work ability, which is why Ye Shang said that.
As long as it doesn't affect her work, she doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Wang Xin and Zhang Ming then said in unison, "Thank you, Captain Ye."
The two couldn't hide their smiles; grinning, they happily picked up their empty bowls and bowed to Ye Shang as they stood up, saying, "Thank you, Captain Ye. We'll go wash the dishes now."
Everyone had their names written on their bowls after they finished eating. They washed their own bowls afterward, as the water-type ability user had already prepared water for everyone's daily needs.
After washing, they are placed in baskets to the side, according to their respective teams. Those with spatial abilities will collect them, which keeps everyone very orderly.
Seeing that the excitement was over, Han Yi sped up his noodle-slurping, finishing the food in his bowl in a few bites. He smiled and said to Ye Shang, "I thought you would move them all to the later stages."
Ye Shang said, "Logistics is also the most important place in a base. Not just anyone can go there. Besides, both of them are flying ability users, so their own defects will not have any impact."
Han Yi thought about it and realized that it made sense. Just like Zhang Ming, although he had lost one leg from his lower leg, it did not affect his movement. He could leave the ground and float by using just a little bit of his special ability.
This little bit of superpower will not affect his stored superpower. As long as he doesn't fly at full speed in the sky or fight with others, he can float like this for a month without cultivating and accumulating superpower.
Han Yi smiled and said, "Indeed, but I heard that the mechanical prosthetics they used later were very expensive?"
Such expensive stuff, and you just let them load and unload it so easily? Don't you have to pay or contribute anything?
Han Yi was puzzled. Based on his understanding of the two leaders in the base, this should be highly unlikely.
Ye Shang glanced at him: "It is very expensive. In the past, we used corpses or zombie corpses for research. Now, isn't it a good time to try it on a living superhuman to see what the effects are?"
What she didn't say was that death row inmates had also studied this, cutting off all their limbs and then reassembling them to observe how well the neural tubes were reassembled.
This is somewhat cruel, but because there are so few people in this field, several research labs are vying for it, each researching different projects. Naturally, living people are the best, but unfortunately, there are too few people who commit capital crimes.
Whenever an opportunity arises, several bases will simultaneously launch attacks, resulting in each research lab producing too few studies.
However, Qingli has strict control over this aspect and absolutely forbids any base from capturing people for research without authorization; otherwise, they will be killed on the spot.
Because of this rule, even if the research lab is eager to produce results, it won't go too far; if it doesn't have any, it can use other organisms for research first.
They were all researchers, and even researchers without superpowers held a high position in the base. Naturally, they cherished this identity. Surviving in the apocalypse was already difficult enough, and to lose one's life because of some research projects would be a terrible loss.
If Ye Shang told them that the two of them would have to get mechanical prosthetics, they would probably suffer some minor injuries. Usually, the treatment of such surgeries would involve the assistance of the patients with superpowers, and there would be pain involved. However, as long as the outcome is good, that's fine.
