The vine branches that were cut off by Ren Jiatang's knife fell one after another, and in everyone's surprised eyes, they could only see her afterimage going back and forth in the withered blood vine, more and more branches were piled up on the ground, and the vines that were difficult to be effective by these ability attacks now lost their mother's support, and they were no different from ordinary branches.

Ren Jia avoided the vines that attacked again, and Tang Dao mercilessly inserted the crystal nucleus she identified, and the withered blood vine made people struggle and twitch in fright, and the crystal nucleus was radiant.

Yu Qiwen's movements were only a little slower than Tang Yi's, and when Rong Rui'an was entangled with the withered blood vine mother, she mixed with Lingquan's ice-based ability and followed closely with a full blow.

The sense of crisis where the crystal nucleus was opened was rioting in the withered blood vine, and sensing the attack coming towards him, Ren Jia glanced at the direction where Yu Qiwen was with dark eyes, and blocked the attack with only one hand in the other party's expectant eyes.

The blow of the Ice Adeptus with all his strength seemed to hit the invisible dimensional wall, and they all turned into ice chips and fell.

In Qiwen's frightened and unwilling eyes, Ren Jia picked out the crystal nucleus from the tip of the knife, and the withered blood vine finally died.

"Dual-line?" Tang Yi couldn't help but let out a sound.

From the time he met Rong Rui'an to the present, he always thought that she was a power-based or speed-based ability, after all, her skills have long been beyond the scope of human cognition, and only abilities can explain it.

After Gu Tianlu learned from Qi Ning about the fact that Rong Rui'an had no ability, he couldn't let go of the fact that he was not as good as her after his ability exploded, and now he suddenly saw her use the ability, and he was a little relieved.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Qi Ning, this was the first time Ren Jia used a gift from him.

Not bad. That's all she has to say about this new ability.

Ren Jia, who rejoined the team, threw the crystal nucleus wrapped in leaves into Gu Tianlu's hands under the complicated sight of the people around her, and she generally didn't take over these things if it wasn't necessary.

Gu Tianlu put the crystal nucleus away, looked at Tang Yi with a depressed look, and coughed lightly, "Rui'an, reward?" ”

"Give the Don team a third of them." Ren Jia motioned to Gu Tianlu to rinse off the Tang Knife that had been stained with a lot of withered blood vine poisonous juice, and showed a dangerous smile to Yu Qiwen who was not far away.

Yu Qiwen's heart beat violently, and it took a long time to return to normal, to be honest, this time Rong Rui'an made her feel a more dangerous and terrifying aura than last time.

The other looked at her like a beast weighing where to eat the most tender piece of meat.

"Miss Yu, if you have time, why don't we have a discussion?" The sound of the Tang knife in the sheath made Yu Qiwen's eyebrows twitch, and in the unconvinced eyes of the team members behind her, she raised her hand to stop the movements of the others, and tried to stay calm, "If you have a chance." ”

Just now, Yu Qiwen used the attack of the withered blood vine to hide her intentions, and now many people in the audience did not notice the turbulent tide between the two, and only thought it was an unintentional mistake.

Ren Jia has no intention of having a showdown with Yu Qiwen now, she wants to clean up this woman and has a chance, and she has to reassess her luck.

After Tang Yi and Yu Qiwen's team fought side by side this time, the relationship was better than before, and under the watchful eyes of the two teams, Ren Jia and Gu Tianlu returned to the base first.

The matter of the crystal nucleus was handed over to Gu Tianlu to deal with, and in the deep winter when the snow was heavy and the sky was extremely cold, Ren Jia began to live at the base.

"Jiajia?" 1528 looked at the owner in front of the window with calm eyebrows and admired the snow, and shouted.

The eyes of the person who turned around were familiar and gentle, 1528 breathed a sigh of relief, and flew over with a cheerful expression, revealing a love that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Jiajia! ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Ren Jia touched the little friend who had been with her all along, and smiled.

"I really miss you." 1528 rubbed in his master's arms, and his voice was extremely aggrieved, "We really haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"Sorry to worry you." The gentle voice soothed 1528's heartache, making it both happy and sad.

It is undoubtedly lonely for a person to shoulder the precious memories that the two of them have walked together, even if the person who lost his memory in front of him is still the master, but without the memories shared by the two, it is really sad.

For the Zhi Brain, their different life posture from other people is destined to loneliness and loneliness, and only those memories of co-creating zào make it unique.

It can be said that it is precisely because of these memories that it has become a companion that belongs exclusively to its owner.

This is the most important thing for 1528.

Looking at 1528's expectant eyes, Ren Jia smiled, "The memory has only recovered a little, and it may be better after a while, don't worry." ”

"Remembering is only secondary, and the most important thing is that you are safe." In 1528, compared to a lonely person who preserves the good memories of the past, Jiajia's peace and health are what it cares about most.

Ren Jia stood up with his little friend in his arms, looked at the goose feathers and snow flying outside the window, and sighed slightly, "I didn't expect to meet him on these missions, it seems that he is doing well." ”

"Jiajia, what are you going to do?" 1528 wanted to open his mouth to remind his master not to get too close to him, but seeing the nostalgia and tenderness in his master's eyes, he temporarily dispelled this thought.

It was undoubtedly a happy thing for the master to be able to slowly recover his memory, and for the time being it didn't want to mention the person who had lost his interest.

"Let it be." Realizing that his master didn't really want to talk about it deeply, 1528 closed his mouth and rubbed it again in his master's arms, no matter what, don't leave it alone again.

In the snowflakes falling with the north wind, Ren Jia smiled silently and stroked his chest.

There, cheerful beating souls full of enthusiasm, calling her name.

Perhaps, next time, we will be able to meet him.

The days of staying in the base and not going on missions pass very quickly, except for the occasional Gu Tianlu who comes to find Ren Jia, she is like an invisible person in the base.

When the New Year was approaching, in the 15% progress of the task, Ren Jia once again stood in Qi Ning's real room.

Compared with the last time we met, Qi Ning has lost a lot of weight, and it seems that it is not easy to take care of the development of the virus vaccine and the reality about her at the same time.

"You've been delaying for a long time this time." Qi Ning took off his glasses and stared at the mouse who was supposed to report earlier with a cold look, "I'm afraid this goes against the spirit of our contract." ”

"So what?" Ren Jia leaned next to the operating table, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change.

"Although you are very disrespectful as a guinea pig, as a responsible researcher, I will try to make up for these mistakes." Qi Ning's smile was cold, the light in his eyes was extremely piercing, and the red liquid in the micro syringe in his hand exuded a dangerous aura, "I hope you will like this new potion." ”

"Red is used to celebrate the New Year, not bad." Ren Jia looked at the bubbles coming out of the red liquid, and then took it and completed the injection on the vein in his arm.

Qi Ning's originally uneasy mood improved a lot after seeing Ren Jia's actions, the development of the virus vaccine made him a little irritable, he didn't plan to develop a vaccine, if it weren't for Rong Rui'an's secret, he would have refused a long time ago, and no one in this base dared to disobey his wishes.

"If this is your compensation for me, it's barely acceptable." Qi Ning smiled and spoke, not seeing the coldness just now.

Ren Jia glanced at him and threw the used syringe into the trash, the new potion slowly flowing through her veins, bringing a burning sensation like fire.

"There is progress." Ren Jia felt the effect of the new potion and praised it.

Qi Ning was undoubtedly very happy to hear this compliment, he pulled Ren Jia's hand and touched the pulse, felt the frequency of the fingertip disorder, and smiled with a smile, "Of course, I haven't slept for three days in order to develop a new potion, and a lot of interesting things have been added to it, it will destroy the C-reactive protein in your body, and after the immunity decreases, many interesting reactions can be observed......"

Impatiently listening to Qi Ning's show-off, Ren Jia closed his eyes.

After explaining the mechanism of action of the new medicine from beginning to end, Qi Ning finally stopped, looked at the person who was quiet and closed his eyes silently, he sighed and put his glasses back on.

Well, probably Rong Rui'an is really not interested in his reality.

The arrival of the new year makes the atmosphere in the base gradually lively, although the end of the world is cruel, but people always have to survive, in this ancient and special festival, it is not impossible to relax.

Ren Jia has been staying in the real yàn room, Qi Ning's new real yàn has progressed to a critical stage, she can't get out of her body at all as a test subject, and after Gu Tianlu came twice and couldn't see anyone, he could only put out his plan to invite her to celebrate the New Year together.

"It worked!" Qi Ning's happy voice made Ren Jia raise her head from the book, looking at the blue fluorescent liquid in the test tube of the test bench, she paused for a moment and continued to bury herself in the book.

If it was in the past, maybe she would have seized some time to study with Qi Ning, but now that she has recovered some of her memories, she has a lot of things to sort out, and she only hopes that the task can be completed as soon as possible.

"This is a new potion made from the antibodies in your body, look, what a beautiful color." Qi Ning cautiously handed the potion to Ren Jia's eyes, his expression full of joy.

"I'm more concerned about the progress of vaccine research than these drugs." Closing the book, Ren Jia looked solemn and his eyes were cold, "Doctor, let me remind you that my ultimate goal is only a virus vaccine, and if the progress of vaccine research is too slow, I'm afraid our agreement will have to be changed." ”

didn't get the imaginary praise, Qi Ning didn't care, anyway, for him, the most important thing was the success of the research of the new potion, Rong Rui'an's body was very likely to be destroyed, and he was one step closer to solving those secrets.

However, being mentioned by the other party about the vaccine research he didn't like was somewhat affected by his happy mood, "You are so anxious to get a vaccine?" Rong Rui'an, you must know that the next time you try a new potion, it will not be as easy as it is now. ”

"This is not Dr. Lao's bother," Ren Jia's attitude was not enthusiastic, on the contrary, more cold than before, "My goal is only vaccines, and I am not interested in anything else." ”

"It's cold." Qi Ning put the vaccine back into the test-tube stand and sat down opposite Ren Jia.

Ren Jia was just about to speak, but her back suddenly straightened, and the faint bell rang twelve times in succession, and she realized, "It's the New Year." ”

Qi Ning, who heard this, was also a little surprised, the electronic calendar above the blast door of the real yàn room clearly showed twelve o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, and when they were concentrating on research, the first New Year of the end times came.

"Happy New Year." Ren Jia opened his mouth and said to Qi Ning, his expression gentle.

Qi Ning paused for a moment before nodding in response, "Happy New Year." ”

Gu Tianlu carried several large bags of New Year's goods, and stood in front of the door of the real room in the helpless eyes of the staff.

"You really have perseverance." In addition to this sentence, the staff didn't know what to use to describe his vicissitudes of life, and he could persist for so long, this person was also weird.

"Happy New Year." Gu Tianlu smiled enthusiastically, grabbed a handful of candy and put it on the desk, although there was a shortage of materials in the last days, but with the reward of the last Dry Blood Vine Mission, he was not too short of materials.

"Happy New Year." The staff rarely replied in a warm voice, which can be regarded as the joy of the New Year.

The success of the new research finally gave Qi Ning the energy to pay attention to the outside world, and looking at Gu Tianlu, who was greeting him in a friendly manner, he pressed the button.

"Happy New Year, Doctor." Gu Tianlu was unimpressed by Qi Ning's coldness, and smiled happily at Ren Jia with New Year's goods, "How to say that it's Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how busy it is, it's going to be a New Year." ”

"Then I'll prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Ren Jia took the things and prepared the food in the small room next to the real room, Gu Tianlu enthusiastically started beside him, and Qi Ning sat and waited for the meal to start as always.

Gu Tianlu babbled about the new things that had happened in the base recently, such as Yu Qiwen and her father quarreling so much that everyone in the base knew about it, Tang Yiguan was promoted to the third level and was highly valued, a new security base appeared nearby, and a sixth-level zombie was found in the south, etc., Ren Jia occasionally asked a few words or responded, which made him happy and continued with enthusiasm.

Bringing the food to the table, Ren Jia was setting the dishes and chopsticks, when he suddenly heard Gu Tianlu mention a certain word, he stopped his movements and asked, "You just said that the zombie king was found in the capital?" ”

Gu Tianlu nodded, "I heard that he led an army of hundreds of thousands of zombies to surround the capital base, judging from the current evolution rate of zombies, there is no doubt that it should be the zombie king." ”

"And then?" Ren Jia put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

"General Pei of the capital base led the Stranger and the army to suppress the zombie tide, which is said to be a bitter battle," Gu Tianlu shook his head again and again with empathy, "If the base on our side encounters a zombie tide, the result is really unimaginable." ”

"I'm afraid it will take a while for the capital base to recover," Ren Jia put the soup in front of Gu Tianlu, his expression unmoved, "I'm not familiar with the generals in the army, but I haven't heard of this General Pei's name." ”

When Gu Tianlu heard this, he looked surprised, as if he was puzzled why someone hadn't heard of General Pei's name, "You don't know General Pei?" ”

"I haven't heard of it." Ren Jia shook his head.

"General Pei Yuansi Pei, the whole country knows." Qi Ning next to him took a sip of hot soup and responded casually, looking at Ren Jia's eyes with some surprise.

Hearing this name, Ren Jia smiled gently, and his voice was as usual, "It turned out to be him, I heard it before, but I didn't react just now." ”

"I'll just say, how can anyone not know." Gu Tianlu smiled heartily and patted Ren Jia on the shoulder, "It seems that you have been in the real room for too long, and you still have to go out more to relax." ”

"That's right." Ren Jia responded with a smile.

1528 looked at his master's silent posture and sighed in his heart, Jiajia is planning to go to him?

Unlike Gu Tianlu with thick lines, although Qi Ning is not good at observing words and feelings, Rong Rui'an, who is his important guinea pig, is shocking and he does not forget to pay attention to it all the time, and almost at the same moment, he noticed the difference in Rong Rui'an.

Silence, tenderness, nostalgia, that is the feeling he perceives.

Perhaps, Rong Rui'an's secrets are more than he imagined.

His curiosity was stirring again.
