182 Ninth Base
◎ Being too good is also a problem.◎
Ye Zhizhi didn't know how long he had been lying there when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
She raised her head, sensed it, and smelled the aroma coming in from under the crack of the door... the aroma of barbecue?
Ye Zhizhi got up and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Qin Fei stood tall and straight. He waved the bag in his hand and said, "Are you hungry? I brought you some barbecue."
Qin Fei was really worried that Ye Zhizhi didn't have enough to eat at night. After all, she ate at least two-thirds less than in the jungle. Qin Fei couldn't even lie down in peace, so he went to the cafeteria to ask someone to get a rabbit and a chicken, and roasted them and brought them over.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes suddenly lit up. She touched her stomach, smelled the aroma of barbecue, and felt hungry.
Ye Zhizhi moved aside to let Qin Fei in, and followed him closely, her eyes fixed on the barbecue that was emitting an enticing aroma.
She took a deep sniff. Perhaps after arriving at the Ninth Base, the food had richer seasonings. The aroma of the barbecue she sniffed was different from what she had eaten before, and it was particularly fragrant.
When Qin Fei walked in front, he saw the snake skin and package spread on the ground beside the bed at a glance. His eyes paused, and then he looked away.
Although this is a single room, it is 40 square meters and fully furnished. Qin Fei placed the barbecue on the bedside table opposite the bed.
Ye Zhizhi didn't notice his gaze and just watched eagerly. After the barbecue was put down, she immediately sat on the stool and reached out to take the barbecue.
Qin Fei stopped her, then took out a small bag from the bag. When he opened it, he found transparent disposable gloves inside.
"When you eat directly with your hands, you should put on these little gloves. They are clean and hygienic, and they won't easily cause stomach upset."
Qin Fei put gloves on both of Ye Zhizhi's hands. Ye Zhizhi raised her hands and looked around. Although she felt uncomfortable, she felt that what Qin Fei said was right. Now that she was out, she didn't have to live as rough as before.
Ye Zhizhi then used his gloved hands to pull out a rabbit leg and a chicken leg, "Ouch?"
Qin Fei asked: "Are you asking me if I want to eat?"
Ye Zhizhi nodded.
Qin Fei's lips curled slightly, "I don't want to eat it, I gave it to you specially."
Ye Zhizhi was not polite at all and started eating immediately.
Qin Fei looked at Ye Zhizhi, whose cheeks were puffed with food, and said in a gentle voice, "Now that we are outside the jungle, most of the people we meet are of the same kind. When we communicate with each other, shouldn't we speak human language? Just like when you communicate with Xiaohua, you also hiss in snake language, right?"
Of course she knows. She doesn't speak much now. On the one hand, she is afraid of making mistakes if she speaks too much, which would show that she knows too much and it is difficult to explain. On the other hand, she doesn't speak very fluently. After she has been in human society for a while, she will be able to speak well!
Ye Zhizhi is still very cautious and well-planned.
However, Qin Fei was so patient in trying to teach her to integrate, so Ye Zhizhi also cooperated. She tilted her head and gestured to hold forward the chicken leg she had gnawed twice. "Eat?"
Ye Zhizhi had already noted down his answer, and after asking, he put it back and continued eating.
She took a bite of rabbit meat and a bite of chicken, and at the end she commented in her mind that the meat was not as good as the one in the jungle, nor as big as the one in the jungle, but the spices were more fragrant and richer.
She was already thinking about how to get these seasonings when the time comes.
Ye Zhizhi finished eating a whole chicken and a whole rabbit. With the warm and fragrant feeling of fullness, his originally depressed mood seemed to dissipate.
It is said that delicious food can make people feel happy!
Ye Zhizhi is in a much better mood now.
Qin Fei packed up the bones he had gnawed clean and said, "It's a pity that the defense system of the institute is fully open at night. No one can enter or leave without permission. Otherwise, I would go outside and catch a pheasant or rabbit and roast it for you."
"Those defense systems have been upgraded to the nation's most advanced technology, possessing immense destructive power. I remember a few years ago when wild beasts attacked the base, they were wiped out by the defense systems before humans could even retaliate."
Ye Zhizhi looked up at Qin Fei. She suspected that he was threatening her, and she had evidence!
Otherwise, who would say these horrible things for no reason?
Qin Fei saw her expression and knew that she had listened, so he said, "It's late, get some rest, I'll come to see you tomorrow..." He paused, "I'll go with you for the checkup."
Ye Zhizhi didn't nod this time. He didn't trust her enough, did he? No matter how powerful the defense system outside was, she wasn't going to test it herself. Except for her initial hesitation, after coming out, she had been very cooperative and hadn't shown that she wanted to go back!
Qin Fei didn't mind. He picked up the trash and turned to walk towards the wide-open door.
He walked out of the door and closed it considerately. After hearing the sound of him leaving, Ye Zhizhi snorted.
Forget it, I'll forgive him since he brought me delicious food.
Ye Zhizhi lay back on the ground, her low mood having recovered a lot. She rested her head on the bundle, thinking about the wolves who should be actively hunting and storing food right now. Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, Yin Yi and Yin Fei...
Xiaohua must be nestling in her nest now, and must have sunk into the hot spring lake again.
And Big Ink Bear...
Ye Zhizhi missed the animals in the jungle and fell asleep smelling the familiar scent.
Early the next morning, Qin Fei arrived early as expected and brought a lot of breakfast. Not long after, Lin Duoyu and Liang Rong also got up. They had breakfast again in the living room of Liang Rong's room.
Liang Rong asked Ye Zhizhi and Lin Duoyu with a smile, "Did you have a good sleep last night?"
Ye Zhizhi nodded, as if he remembered what Qin Fei said last night and added the word "good".
Lin Duoyu responded nervously with a "OK".
Liang Rong is a very delicate and beautiful lady who does not look her age. Because she is in charge of many people, it would be difficult for her to manage them if she were too young, so she always has a serious face.
But ever since Ye Zhizhi and Lin Duoyu came, Liang Rong's smile has never stopped, showing how happy she is for them, especially Ye Zhizhi.
Qin Fei was so upset that he couldn't help but tease Ms. Liang about her broken character, which caused a round of criticism.
Today's examinations involved more items. At the beginning, Qin Fei and Lin Duoyu did the examinations with Ye Zhizhi, but some of her later items were done by Ye Zhizhi alone.
They speculated that Ye Zhizhi was taken to the jungle when she was a few years old. Perhaps she had received too much stimulation and had forgotten some things, or perhaps she was only three or four years old at that time and could not remember anything.
While examining the three people, Qin Fei was also making some speculations with Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong about Ye Zhizhi's life experience. They did not deliberately avoid Ye Zhizhi when they spoke. Perhaps it was also because they wanted Ye Zhizhi to listen more and get used to human language. Ye Zhizhi's excellent hearing basically enabled her to hear their conversation throughout.
They speculated that she was a tool used by the evil gang for secret experiments in order to uncover the secrets of the jungle.
They attempt to exploit animals, or rather female mammals. Animals that are in their lactation period are naturally tolerant and friendly towards their young, even if they are of other species. They are as pure as blank sheets of paper and are most easily accepted by sensitive animals.
Once someone is successfully adopted by an animal and becomes one of the ferocious animals in the jungle, when they grow up a little, they can be brought out and taught...
However, the animals in the jungle are extremely ferocious and are extremely hostile to humans, even their cubs. Moreover, the cubs are too fragile and often do not survive the night even if they do not encounter ferocious predators.
Although all countries have openly and strongly prohibited such inhumane experiments, who knows if anyone is still committing such evil acts in private.
When Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong heard this, they were extremely angry. If they could not expose Ye Zhizhi's existence, they would have reported it to the authorities and held the relevant personnel accountable.
Of course, as official scientific researchers, they would report such a special human situation. But before that, they would first check all her conditions and submit a report secretly.
There is no need to worry about Ye Zhizhi's personal safety. Apart from anything else, the fact that she is Qin Fei's savior is enough for the Qin family to protect her.
As Ye Zhizhi listened to their words, he gained a more intuitive understanding of his own uniqueness.
For thousands of years, it has never been heard that any human being can survive in the jungle for a long time.
She is the only known human who has survived the jungle for many years and managed to come out alive.
When listening to them discussing her life experience, if Ye Zhizhi did not still have the memory of those three months, she would probably think that what they said was closest to the truth.
But she was brought in by a bad woman, and fortunately, before she was eaten by a brutal predator or died due to the jungle environment, Ye Zhizhi met the wolf mother first.
Ye Zhizhi has been wandering in the jungle for so many years, and only now does she realize how lucky she is to have met the wolf mother.
The wolf pack's territory was so far from the edge of the jungle, deep in the area hitherto inaccessible to humans, and the wolves just happened to run out at that time.
Ye Zhizhi still doesn't know why the wolves appeared there that year. They couldn't give her an answer, and Ye Zhizhi has never thought about it deeply.
She didn't worry about it and cooperated with various projects with great enthusiasm. She found many of the examinations very novel and would take a few peeks from time to time.
"Okay, next, let's do another one."
Wu Gufeng spoke with a smile, then took out a small empty test tube.
Ye Zhizhi blinked, not realizing anything at this moment.
Wu Gufeng pinched her index finger and wiped it with a sterilized cotton ball. It was cold, and he punctured it suddenly. Bright red blood flowed out and entered a small tube, which he then pressed with a cotton ball.
!!!!!!
The whole process was quick, taking only three seconds. Ye Zhizhi hugged his fingers that were touching the cotton ball, his eyes widening in shock.
She was pricked by a needle!
Seeing her big reaction, Qin Fei reached out and pressed the pressure directly, "It's okay, it will be fine soon."
"I drew a lot of blood, too."
Well, Ye Zhizhi looked at Wu Gufeng who was still holding the needle that appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and was so scared that his hair stood on end. He quietly moved away.
She thought she was not afraid of anything, but she didn't expect that such a small needle would make her feel creepy.
Ye Zhizhi doesn't want to do the check-up anymore. She has already done so many tests. When will you help her find her family?
Qin Fei saw Ye Zhizhi's subtle resistance, so he said to her, "Now that we've finished these, let's do some other physical tests."
Some reports would not come out so quickly even if they were expedited, not to mention that all the reports were handled by Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong.
Wu Gufeng smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll be interested in the next test."
Ye Zhizhi saw that Grandpa Wu’s smile was not friendly at all, so she continued to move forward.
The physical fitness test required the cooperation of Captain Li Jianan. The group went to an indoor training ground specially cleared out by Li Jianan to test Ye Zhizhi's physical fitness.
Ye Zhizhi was not interested at first, but he couldn't stand the human next to him who was too good at flattering him.
Ye Zhizhi casually slapped a sandbag away.
"With this physique, he'd have to be this good in the army—" He gave a thumbs-up, "Soldier King!"
"Even more powerful than our current Soldier King!"
"More than that, he will definitely become the world's number one soldier!"
Ye Zhizhi: “!” She bared her teeth. This was just a small thing. Let her show off her skills.
Ye Zhizhi immediately ran for a while like a gust of wind and jumped in the air.
"Such speed! Such endurance! Such jumping power!"
"If I were to compete in the Olympics, I would definitely win first place in any event, be it sprinting, long distance running, or hurdles!"
"Maybe we can even break a world record!"
"It's not a certainty, it's certainty. I can definitely break the world record! Bring glory to my country!"
Ye Zhizhi: “!!” She was excited and full of fighting spirit, trying everything in the hall.
“Such strength!”
"What's the current record for weightlifting?"
"Five hundred kilograms?"
"If a little girl were to participate, she could break any weightlifting record!"
"This little girl is incredible."
Ye Zhizhi: “!!!”
A path she had never imagined. Would she become a soldier? Or would she compete in the Olympics and win dozens of gold medals for her country?
So troubled!
What to do if you are too good?
Wu Gufeng and Liang Rong looked at the little girl who fell into deep thought as they spoke, and couldn't help but smile dotingly.
After coaxing the little girl into submission, they also tested her physical fitness. The equipment in the base was completely unable to detect her limits, and her physical report came out in the afternoon.
Not only Ye Zhizhi's, but also Qin Fei and Lin Yuyou's.
Qin Fei had not acted the same since he came back, but this examination revealed many problems. It turned out that he had been on the verge of life and death not long ago. Liang Rong then realized the weight of this life-saving grace and felt even more grateful.
Although it seems that there is no problem now, the person still needs to be taken good care of.
As for Lin Duoyu, many of her body indexes were below standard. It seemed that she had not been well taken care of since childhood. After a full body check, it was discovered that she had many injuries, big and small, and even had many sequelae. If she did not take good care of herself, her life span would be affected. Her body was already riddled with scars at such a young age.
However, the report shows that the situation has been gradually improving recently.
Perhaps it was because he felt more relaxed, or perhaps it was because he ate and slept well in the jungle, but Lin Yuyu was in much better condition than before.
No wonder she never mentioned her family after coming out of the jungle. When Liang Rong and others learned Xiaolin's name, they knew that her original family was not very good. After all, who would name their child with more than two characters?
So they didn't ask any more questions.
Who could have imagined that life would be so difficult? Liang Rong was really angry and distressed.
How could these two little girls be so miserable? One had lived in a terrifying jungle for years, with animals as companions, competing with them for resources for survival, while the other had a family, yet had lived such a miserable life since childhood.
Others don't feel sorry for her, but she does.
Liang Rong was even thinking in her mind that Ye Zi's family might not be found so quickly, and even if they were found, their family might not be very good. Their Qin family was not short of food, so she could support the two girls and even adopt them as her goddaughters if they were willing.
At Xiaolin's age, she should still be in high school. I'll send her there and let her study hard to get into university. As for Ye Zi, she needs to slowly reintegrate into society first, and then I'll teach her well. Once she's adjusted, it won't be too late to send her back to school.
Wu Gufeng kept flipping through a thick stack of report materials.
He murmured: "Strange..."
"But what problems did the physical examination reveal?"
“It’s strange that there are no problems.”
"There have been many wolf children since ancient times. Even in modern times, there are still reports of wolf children, but the health of these wolf children is not good."
Why are there so few wolf children? That’s because many wolf children die before they grow up. The survival environment in the wild is very complex and difficult for an adult, let alone a child who has no ability to protect himself.
Wolf children, living with wild animals for years, will unconsciously imitate their movements and behaviors, and their intelligence and thinking abilities will tend to be similar to those of wild animals. Even if they have lived with wild animals for several years, the long-term improper diet in the wild will cause the wolf children's internal organs to be severely damaged.
But this child was very different. All the examination reports showed no problems at all. He was even better and stronger than an average person. Even Qin Fei, a former special forces soldier, couldn't match his physical fitness.
"She has a very strong physique and all her statistics are excellent." Of course, survival of the fittest. The little girl was able to survive in such a harsh environment, so her physique will naturally become better and better in order to adapt to the environment.
No, perhaps this is the biggest problem. These values are too excellent. Wu Gufeng suspects that it is far more than this. Perhaps this is just the maximum limit that the machine can detect.
Wu Gufeng looked at Ye Zhizhi with burning eyes.
The Mist Forest is a gift from nature, a treasure trove. It's a human consensus that it must be protected and not destroyed. With the advancement of technology, using violent means will naturally destroy the forest. There's no telling what the consequences will be.
There are many unknown plants and animals in the forest. If the ecological environment there is destroyed, who knows whether they can survive? Even other powerful countries known for their unreasonable and overbearing behavior do not dare to destroy it lightly, but focus on exploration.
The forest's giant trees are often thousands of years old, and some in the outer reaches are even tens of thousands of years old, not to mention the mysterious inner reaches. Even the animals that live there are several times larger than those outside, and of course more ferocious and intelligent.
People have made countless guesses about the inner circle.
In ancient times, it was believed that it was the residence of gods and that humans could enter but not leave.
Today's humans believe that the key to human evolution lies in this mysterious forest.
Or perhaps the key to human immortality lies in this jungle.
Otherwise, from ancient times to the present, no human being, knowing the dangers of this forest, would still explore it day and night like a moth to a flame, even if it cost human lives.
Their country is not as crazy as other countries, but they still conduct extensive research every year.
Their base exists for this jungle.
Of course, they are not that unrealistic. Immortality and evolution are too far away. It is just a long-term goal of research. Perhaps when they make a plan that lasts for hundreds of years, they will reach the end of the plan. They are more focused on reality.
The jungle plants there are amazing, and some of the elements extracted from them can cure certain difficult and complicated diseases of mankind, and the geological ecology and other aspects are of great research value.
Just like the medicinal plants that Qin Fei brought out from there two days ago, when Wu Gufeng gave them to the Second Hospital, they were immediately ecstatic and are still conducting research in seclusion.
They were fortunate enough to obtain this plant, which was very effective in quickly healing wounds. To exaggerate a little, it was not much different from the elixir described in cultivation novels.
With this extremely fast-acting medicine, even a fatal wound such as an accidental cut to the aorta can cause blood to clot quickly.
Unfortunately, the medicinal plants they brought out could not survive after being transplanted. Although they tried their best to simulate the living environment of the plants, even ordinary plants, after leaving the jungle, basically either died or grew slowly and differently from those in the jungle, as if they were degenerating.
Researchers go to the jungle every year to study plants in situ.
Unfortunately, those plants with special effects basically grow deeper in the jungle, places that are difficult to reach by human power. It would be a great fortune to find one on the outskirts.
People are unable to explore the depths of the jungle, so they give rise to countless fantasies.
Since there are medicinal plants that have various functions such as promoting wound healing, are there also things that can strengthen the body after eating?
Someone once brought out some fruits from there and said they were good for the human body, but just like the fruits they usually eat, they can supplement various vitamins. They do have some benefits, but they are not as exaggerated as the spiritual fruits in the novels of cultivation that can cleanse the bones and marrow.
Maybe, it’s not that it doesn’t exist, but that humans have never found it?
Wu Gufeng looked at Ye Zhizhi. He was extremely sure that this little girl must have eaten something that could strengthen her body when she was surviving in the jungle. Otherwise, how could someone have such a strong physical fitness? It was simply breaking through the limits of the human body!
Ye Zhizhi blinked, always feeling that Grandpa Wu looked at her with the same enthusiasm as when she was looking at the barbecue.
She silently hid behind Qin Fei.
She's been very restrained in her efforts, so she didn't reveal anything, right?
Liang Rong said, "It's a good thing you're fine. It's so late now, you must be hungry. Qin Fei, take Ye Zi and Xiao Lin to the kitchen to get some food."
Liang Rong felt that the little girl was used to being free, so she shouldn't be too restricted. At least let her walk around more, see more of human society, and see everything that's new to her.
Ye Zhizhi did not refuse immediately, and quickly pulled one person away with each hand.
After the others had gone away, Liang Rong said to Wu Gufeng with a serious face, "Teacher, what do you think?"
Wu Gufeng pondered for a moment and said, "The existence of the little girl still needs to be reported." They are working for the country and will not hide anything from the country. After all, the little girl's situation is too special.
Liang Rong frowned, "Qin Fei told me that the place where the little girl is staying is two hills away from where we humans are."
"I know, but we believe it, others may not. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The fact that the little girl can survive in the jungle is enough to make people covet her." Wu Gufeng patted Liang Rong's shoulder.
"Reporting it is also for the little girl." After all, nothing is safer than the protection of the country.
"Don't worry, I'm an old man here."
Liang Rong's frown relaxed, "Then I'll leave everything to you, Teacher."
