Chapter 155

The matter hadnt been noticed yet. Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran left the laboratory and went down to inform everyone about it and to strengthen patrols and investigate all suspicious personnel. Gong Lixin received the data from Jin Shangyu and turned the pages one by one. This was the data of a newborn. Four years had pa.s.sing since the apocalypse started. This was the first child born in the base and everyone liked the child as if the child was their own.

All indicators are normal. Just as you said, his blood also inherited the toxins from his parents and hes naturally immune to zombies. Jin Shanyu saw the young mans brow frown, his thin lips squeeze tighter. The other was obviously reluctant in reading over the data and was very impatient, so she quickly spoke up to explain.

The youth lazily snuggled into Jin Shanghuis arms, looking at the data on the pages in front of him. The star-like eyes had become narrower and elongated because of the increased sharpness of his five senses, giving him a wise appearance. The past innocent look was replaced by the calm and restrained image in the present. He had grown up and became a qualified leader.

Hearing Jin Shangyus words, he closed the data and whispered. The faded words from the youths mouth held a magnetic charm with a certain enchanting power. Undoubtedly, Gong Lixin was the Heavens darling; both internally and externally, he was a beauty able to make anyones knees weak.

Jin Shangyu broke free from this demons charming voice and asked curiously, These data are exactly the same as what you described before. How did you know about this situation after taking Baidu Dan? Werent you trying it for the first time yourself?

It was the same as in the novel. Gong Lixin glanced at her and spoke lightly. Of course, he understood the efficacy of Baidu Dan. In his last life, all the people in the Underground Palace had taken Baidu Dan. They carried poison all over their body and go out to face the viper. Xiao Lin relied on these poisonous people to suppress all promising martial artist and overlords.

However, poisonous people who were regarded as catastrophes at that time were now seen as darlings of the Heavens in these apocalyptic times. These people were not afraid of poisonous insects and plants that were running around. Even zombies had no desire to hunt them when they saw them, because their black blood had long lost the sweetness of the taste of blood, making them seem unappetizing to the zombies. Maybe if the zombies bit them, they would get diarrhea.

The food for people in Ningcheng had become richer because of their new physique. The meat of mutant beasts that, before, they didnt dare touch had now been one of the many things on the table of Ningchengs people. After a year, all of them started to raise a few of them. Whenever they went out, one look at their strong built and mighty spirit and others would know that they were from Ningcheng. Ningcheng trained and cared for its people, which had become the new goal of survivors in the whole of Country C. Thanks to everyone, Gong Lixin no longer needed to cover up his poisonous physique and finally ate meat that had been so close yet so far. Now, everyone knew that the leader was unhappy without meat. If one wanted to please the leader, asking him to eat meat was the easiest way.

Every time she heard this kind of perfunctory answer, Jin Shangyu didnt look good. Thinking of the newborns nutritional problems, she frowned and began to worry. Although the nutritional supplements have been successfully developed, Ive recently found that the nutritional supplements lack various special substances that promote the development of newborns brain. Long-tern use of nutritional supplements would seriously hinder their intellectual development. Children must wait until their brains are fully mature before taking these nutritional supplements. They should at least be ten years old. Therefore, although the nutritional supplements are good, they cannot completely replace food. Without enough food, we wont be able to nurture the next generation. What should we do?

Jin Shangyu thought that developing the nutritional supplements would save the world, but it turned out that she was too optimistic and nave. Whenever she thought that the future humans would degenerate into simple-minded caveman with well-developed limbs, Jin Shangyu felts a headache. Hindering human evolution was completely contrary to her original intention as biologist and pharmacist.

Gong Lixin waved his hand and lightly said, Dont think so hard. There will always be a solution. Didnt you think you were all dead when the apocalypse broke out? It turned out that not only did you survive, but also lived well. So, just work hard and dont stress too much.

The youths calm and indifferent voice had a soothing magical power and, just like that, the worry in Jin Shangyus eyes disappeared. She smiled and nodded. Gong Xiangyi, who was sorting the doc.u.ments on the side, heard their conversation and softly said, Dont worry, I have a hunch the food problem will soon be solved. Believe me, Im a prophet. She squinted her eyes.

Jin Shangyu was amused by her strange expression and had completely relaxed. Since the both of them had had tough experiences and were both women, under Gong Xiangyis deliberate attempt to get close, the two of them were very good friends now.

Can you make your predictions clearer. Gong Lixin spoke seriously. He could see that Gong Xiangyi wasnt just joking.

No, its not time yet. If I predict too early, many things might change along the way. Ill say it after a while, she waved her hand. After a year of trying, her relations.h.i.+p with Gong Lixin wasnt as indifferent as before.

Huh. Gong Lixin glanced at her, no longer questioning it. He patted Jin Shanghuis head whos eyes were closed and laughed, Go, lets go and see the little guy.

Jin Shanghui immediately opened his eyes and followed him step by step. Jin Shangyu and Gong Xiangyis eyes lit up and they dropped the doc.u.ments in their hands as they also ran to the nursery room.

After coming out of the nursery room, Gong Xiangyi said goodbye to Jin Shangyu and slowly walked back to her room. The relaxed smile on her face was replaced by a solemn one.

The people of the base regarded a five-star hotel as the dormitory building. The building was cleaned and the magnificent decorations were renewed with glory from the past. If life inside Ningcheng was known to the outside world, they believed that many survivors would go crazy with jealousy.

After opening the door and carefully locking it, Gong Xiangyi quickly walked into the room and looked at the man lying on the bed reading an old novel. She asked, You were the one who invaded the laboratory last night?

The man raised his head, revealing an elegant and handsome face. It was Liao Fan who had once saved Gong Xiangyi back in Liaocheng. Of course, in his view, he was just acquaintances with Gong Xiangyi. So, when he was sent on this mission and was rescued by Gong Xiangyi, he had been very nervous for a period of time until he found that Gong Xiangyi was treating him quite well. He then stayed at ease and, from then on, started to gather intel on Ningcheng.

But in Gong Xiangyis heart, her relations.h.i.+p with Liao Fan was not so simple. This man had really admired her and even gave his life to protect her in her past life. So, when she saw the man lying in the mountain forest, she didnt hesitate to save him. He dressed him up in a black hoodie, disguising him as Jin Shanghui, and brought him back to Ningcheng for the night. She betrayed her family and friends for this man, but how did he repay her?

Thinking of this, she stared at Liao Fans eyes with a thin layer of mist.

Seeing the mist in Gong Xiangyis eyes, something in Liao Fans heart tingled and he guiltily admitted, Master Song saved my parents so that they could live a stable life in these apocalyptic days. Im sorry.

Alright, I know. Now that you have the strength to sneak around, it seems that your injury is all right. If youre all done, you should go quickly. Gong Xiangyi looked up and forced her tears back as she said coldly.

Ill go later in the night, Liao Fan nodded, looked at her deeply and begged, I want to eat another meal made by you. Is that okay?

Gong Xiangyi stared at him for a long time and finally nodded slowly. Forget it. She had already repaid the debt she owed in her past life. From now on, he was a stranger and the two had no more relation with each other.

Thinking like that, Gong Xiangyi walked into the kitchen, took out rice, vegetables and some pork from her s.p.a.ce before rolling up her sleeves and starting to cook.

Although they stayed in a hotel, the senior suites were equipped with kitchens, thus cooking utensils were all available and gas stoves could also be used. After all, they remained unused for three or four years. After the base settled down in Ningcheng, everyone enjoyed dinner time. They could go home, enjoy two small dishes and slowly enjoy themselves or make a hearty meal and invite three or five friends to eat together. They lived a comfortable life. Ningcheng was a city far from the hustle and bustle of the apocalyptic days and was a happy place away from disasters. Smelling the rich scent of vegetables in the air, Liao Fan leaned against the door of the kitchen, his dark eyes overflowing with nostalgia.

Liao Fan was afraid that if he stayed longer, he would be reluctant to leave this stable and peaceful city, or this gentle and kind woman in front of him.

Arent you afraid of food poisoning after eating the meat of mutant beast? Liao Fan seemed to have thought of something. He put away his nostalgia and asked curiously.

Who eats the meat of mutant beast? This is pork, which I saved from before the apocalypse. Gong Xiangyi responded stiffly.

Im not talking about this. Liao Fan waved his hand and stared at Gong Xiangyis back. I saw the corpse of a mutant dog hanging on the balcony of the room next door. The skin had been peeled off and the meat was washed as well. What do they normally eat? And, for every meal, this building is full of scent of meat. If its all pork, your ability to store pork is too amazing.

What do you want to inquire? Gong Xiangyi cut a piece of pork fiercely and turned to look at him. Her beautiful face was filled with anger. My tolerance is reaching its limit. You will hurry and leave after you eat otherwise, I will hand you over! She regretted bringing Liao Fan back.

Okay, I wont ask anymore. Liao Fan answered with his head lowered and walked toward the living room. Sitting on the sofa, his deep eyes were filled with dark thoughts.

Its time to eat. Gong Xiangyi said with a straight face when she put several homemade side dishes on the dining room table.

Are you going to deliver food to him again? Seeing Gong Xiangyi holding a food box in her hand, Liao Fan frowned and asked with a deep voice. When you send things in the past, did you just have to bring it back? If he doesnt appreciate your effort, why do you keep trying?

None of your business. Gong Xiangyi spoke lightly before walking towards the door. After a year, Wenbo did not get together with Cao Yanan as she had imagined. The relations.h.i.+p between the two was not as close as in her previous life. Wenbo didnt look at other women in the same way either, which made her see hope again in her despair. As long as she persists, she believed that she would eventually touch Wenbo.

Watching the woman disappearing behind the door, Liao Fan hit the table fiercely, his dark, unblinking eyes staring at the door.

CrazedCookies: Okay, so THIS is why I hate Gong Xiangyi so much. When I first started reading this, I could sympathize with her and, even though she revealed herself to be a b***, I figured shed changed. ESPECIALLY after Gong Lixin killed her rapist from her past life. But then she pulls this s.h.i.+t! Like, cant she just come out and say it to the others why she did it? Come clean and all. Or else, at least tell Jin Shangyu so that she can erase the dudes memory?
