"They wasted a C-class device and ended up with an incomplete, defective product."
Xiao Yao snorted coldly, and the device in his hand, which was obviously made of metal, slowly turned into a piece of dried mycelium.
Xiao Yao squeezed the mycelium into a ball, and a small flame emerged from his palm again, burning the mycelium into ashes.
After doing all this, he returned to Xie Xuan.
He half-knelt in front of Xie Xuan who was lying on the ground, reached out and pinched Xie Xuan's cheeks, forcing out a strange smile.
Xiao Yao looked at Xie Xuan for a long while before suddenly muttering in a low voice, "You used to love following me around like a little tail. You may have forgotten, but I haven't."
But no one responded to him.
Xiao Yao laughed at himself, threw Xie Xuan over his shoulder like a sack, turned around and left the room.
Xie Xuan felt like she had a very long dream. She dreamed of her short twenty years of life before she traveled through time.
She was an orphan before she traveled through time. As far as she could remember, she had been wandering in a chaotic border town, living a life of competing with stray dogs for food.
She was then adopted by a local orphanage, which was nominally an orphanage, but in reality it was just collecting cheap supplies to be used as cannon fodder.
In such fights where she was used as consumables time and time again, Xie Xuan was forced to learn how to better survive. Unknowingly, her identity changed from consumables to the abuser who threw consumables into the furnace.
But such a change means nothing to Xie Xuan, she still lives in pain and self-doubt every day.
Until she came to this wasteland era, the days of working in a convenience store seemed so beautiful to Xie Xuan, like heaven.
There is no life-and-death struggle. The only thing you need to consider every day is what to eat for three meals a day.
Unfortunately, the little girl who walked into the convenience store to take shelter from the rain that day shattered this beautiful illusion.
Xie Xuan was in a coma for two full days before waking up.
The last time Xie Xuan wanted to stay in the hospital a little longer she was ruthlessly kicked out. Now she just slept in the inpatient department for two days.
It was noon when Xie Xuan woke up. There were a lot of messages piled up in her terminal, most of which were sent to her by Zhou Yuanyuan.
Xie Xuan read through each line carefully and basically understood what happened after he fell into a coma.
Xie Xuan calculated the time carefully before letting the parasite stab her through.
Bai Ze had said before that support would arrive in fifteen minutes, and Xie Xuan had no choice at the time. She could only trust Bai Ze's super computing power and his ability to ignore any field-infected mutants and incomplete field-infected people in Area 6.
Facts have proved that Bai Ze is trustworthy, and the timely arrival of the Ecological Bureau's support successfully rescued her and Ling Wenqing.
According to Zhou Yuanyuan, if Xie Xuan had taken a little longer to get rid of the parasite, Bai Ze would have completely infected Ling Wenqing.
However, although Ling Wenqing was not infected by Bai Ze, he suffered from serious sequelae due to the severe infection of the domain. He is still in a coma and may never wake up again. Even if he wakes up by chance, he will no longer be able to engage in shelter work.
Although it is a pity, for them who have experienced the transformation from the D-level realm to the C-level realm, this should be the best ending.
The support team that arrived later only provided emergency medical assistance to the three members of Team 320, so the reward for the mission was still divided equally among the three of them, 80,000 each, plus additional compensation allowances, a total of 100,000.
But Xie Xuan, who suddenly became rich, could not be happy, because under Zhou Yuanyuan's message, she saw a message from her store manager Grandet.
It was a long and detailed list of expense reimbursement bills that got the point across. Manager Grandet had completed the complete renovation of the store with incredible efficiency in just a few days.
Probably because all the compensation this time was paid by Xie Xuan, the always stingy store manager Grandet did not choose relatively cheap second-hand shelves this time, but replaced them with brand new shelves and counters.
Xie Xuan flipped all the way to the bottom of the bill. The amount was a little more than Manager Grandet had estimated at the beginning. It was written in decimals and round numbers: two hundred and thirty-one thousand, two hundred and seventy-four.
"Since you've been working so hard, I'll give you a deduction. Two hundred and thirty-one thousand and two hundred will be enough. The store will reopen next Monday. Will you come back to work?"
Xie Xuan didn't know whether she should be shocked that Manager Grandet had generously waived the seventy-four cents for her, or that Manager Grandet actually thought she would go back to work.
Xie Xuan sighed at the 100,000 yuan in her account that hadn't even warmed up yet, and generously transferred 115,600 yuan directly to Grandet.
"I'll pay you back the remaining half within six months, and I won't go back to class."
Grandet, the shop owner, received the money quickly and said, "Sure, sure."
After Xie Xuan replied to the message, the door of the ward was pushed open.
In addition to the doctors and nurses in white coats, there was also a young man who looked quite handsome.
As soon as Xie Xuan's eyes shifted to this stranger, he smiled and introduced himself in a very familiar manner: "Hello, my name is Xiao Yao, and I will be your new captain from now on."
Xie Xuan instinctively felt a little disgusted by this sentence.
Although she and Ling Wenqing had only been on two missions together, the other two members of Team 320 took good care of her.
Xie Xuan nodded calmly, "Hello, my name is Xie Xuan."
Xiao Yao didn't have any special reaction to Xie Xuan's indifference. When the doctor was examining Xie Xuan, he even took the initiative to mention Ling Wenqing and Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Ling Wenqing is still in a coma, but his condition is optimistic. Although his organs have shown some degree of failure and disease, the Ecological Bureau will be fully responsible for his future treatment. If he recuperates well, he can still live for another ten or twenty years."
Xiao Yao paused for a moment, "Zhou Yuanyuan didn't suffer any serious injuries. She's gone home on vacation now, and will be reorganized after her vacation."
Xie Xuan actually really wanted to continue to stay in the same team with Zhou Yuanyuan, but she knew very well that it was almost impossible.
Zhou Yuanyuan is an E-level mutant, and she just looked at the system panel. It seems that after she fell into a coma, for some reason, the system still determined that she had successfully contained the bacteria.
According to the current method of evaluating superpowers by the Ecological Bureau, she, a half-baked person whose superpowers are still in an unactivated state, should be evaluated as a B-level superpower user.
Having B-level and E-level psychics stay in the same team is either a waste of resources or sending the E-level psychics to their deaths.
Although Xie Xuan didn't say anything, Xiao Yao seemed to be able to guess what Xie Xuan was thinking and said, "Your ability rating has been raised to B. I am an A-level ability user. Because it is the rainy season now, manpower is very short, so there are only two of us in our team at the moment."
Xie Xuan: “…Ah?”
