Chapter 32: It's Not Science

Gu Xi and the others waited in the car for more than three hours, and it was not until after 10 o'clock in the evening that they heard the roar of the helicopter in the distance.

The night breeze shuffled through the half-open car window, brushing his long hair, Gu Xi looked out of the window in the wind, his eyes calmly staring at the red dot that was disappearing in the night sky, thoughtful.

It's a bit of a coincidence today.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yue and the others reacted too naturally just now, she would even have to wonder if Shen Yue already knew something? So after learning in advance that someone from the Abnormal Energy Research Institute would come over today, he deliberately separated her today?

But the reaction of Shen Yue and the others just now couldn't be faked......

Perhaps, is it really just a coincidence?

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Soon, someone from the front came to inform them that martial law was over, the danger had been removed, and they could go home.

Shen Yue glanced at Gu Xi quietly through the rearview mirror, and stepped on the accelerator.

In the midst of the turmoil, the two sisters of the Qin family glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over." On the co-pilot in the front row, a cold mockery flashed in Wei Heng's eyes, those people from the Ability Research Institute ...... The pomp and circumstance are still as big as ever.

He looked back at Gu Xi in the back row, his brows furrowed slightly.

Gu Xiaoxi's consumption is a bit large today, and he originally planned to open a small stove for her after he goes back to make up for it.

- There is still a little bit of rice left from the rice he milled out that night, and it is definitely not enough to make clay pot stewed rice, but it is still okay to make porridge.

But what do you think, as soon as I came back, I encountered this incident.

It's all ordered, it's too late to boil porridge, so let's go back and nibble on sweet potatoes. Fortunately, he habitually steamed an extra pot in the morning......

The two sisters of Qin Yi are also tired and hungry, and there is food in the car, but what is the sentence - from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

After eating the food grown by Gu Xi, those dry wild vegetable biscuits were a little unpalatable.

After the car stopped, the group of four got out of the car and went straight to Gu Xi's house, and Shen Yue was even more familiar with bringing out a pot of sweet potatoes from the kitchen.

Wei Heng: "......"

After the three of them had eaten and drunk enough to leave, Wei Heng lit a fire again and began to wash the pot and boil hot water.

"Do the Secret Service teams often cooperate with the Psychic Research Institute on missions?" Gu Xi squatted beside him and asked.

Wei Heng added a handful of firewood to the earthen stove and thought for a while: "It's not very often, right...... The Secret Service has its own mission, but those people in the Abnormal Research Institute have to intervene in everything......"

This cynical tone...... It can be seen that Wei Heng does not have any good impression of the Ability Research Institute.

Thinking that this was also a man with a story, Gu Xi didn't ask much, but instead asked about the mission of the special service team.

Wei Heng explained in a low voice while boiling water.

The special task force is the elite of the army, and all members of the team are high-level abilities, and they are mainly responsible for dealing with some sudden extremely dangerous tasks and special situations in peacetime.

For example, those xenos with amazing attack power after the malignant transformation that suddenly appeared half a year ago;

Another example is that when the forward combat troops are clearing the field and recovering lost territory, they encounter some mutant animals that are extremely dangerous, have an ability level of 8 or above, and need to pay a great price to strangle......

And then there are those former compatriots who lost their minds and eventually became monsters because they ingested too much X energy......

After Gu Xi listened, he frowned slightly: "Those ...... I mean, how many people are the last to mutate because of X energy each year? ”

"Not a lot." Wei Heng Tianchai's movements were slightly suffocated, and he lowered his eyes and said, "But in the past few years, the number of people has increased every year......

Gu Xi was silent for a while before asking again, "Then ...... Are there any signs of those mutants before they lose their minds and become monsters? ”

You can't have wings on your back and horns on your head overnight, right?

It's not scientific.

Of course, the end times are coming, and anything strange can happen.

At the beginning, didn't more than 60% of human beings suddenly be infected with the zombie virus and become zombies?

This is the end times, which seem absurd, but in fact they are cruel and real.

Gu Xi lowered his eyes slightly.

Wei Heng was silent for a while before he said, "...... Some. Before the complete mutation, there will be cognitive confusion, nervous disorders, and even madness, and physical changes, it will take one to three days......"

But some people, after discovering their abnormality, will not take the initiative to report, but will subconsciously hide themselves......

"In recent years, in addition to strictly controlling the coefficient of variation of food, the detection methods and methods have also tended to be routine...... Anyone, once they are detected as abnormal, will be taken away for isolation......" Wei Heng said in a low voice.

Isolation?

X energy is neither absorbed by the body nor excreted by metabolism...... Once there are signs of mutation, even if it is isolated in time, what about after isolation?

Gu Xi didn't continue to ask, some things would only be more cruel if they asked.

"Don't think about it so much." Wei Heng comforted her and said with a wry smile: "It's not that there is no way above, many years ago, the research of the Institute of Abnormal Energy showed that although the healing system cannot purify and expel X energy, it can temporarily appease ......"

It's a pity that there are still too few healing powers.

And a short period of appeasement is not the solution at all.

The destructive effect of X energy on the human body is far beyond what anyone can imagine. The appeasement of the treatment department is only a symptom but not a cure, once a large-scale outbreak occurs one day......

Humanity is likely to usher in the second period of great chaos after the end of the world, just as the last days suddenly came.

Thinking of this, both of them felt a little heavy.

Especially Gu Xi, she personally experienced the darkest period at the beginning of the end of the world, and now mankind has finally passed that darkest period and restored order......

Gu Xi didn't want to go back to the past.

She likes the days when she can occasionally farm, eat, drink, and bask in the sun and sleep peacefully.

At night, Gu Xi lay on the bed and began to habitually review what happened today.

The little green sprout didn't know when it came out of her fingertips, and was rubbing her fingertips affectionately, Gu Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the two young leaves on the top of it, thoughtful.

Zombie Virus, X-Energy, Food Crisis, Mutants, and her abilities...... And, the glass of wine back then, and the thirty years that she disappeared inexplicably!

It is as if there is an invisible force that weaves these into a big net.

And behind this big net, what kind of secrets are hidden?

……

Early the next morning, the trio came to the door with firewood.

As soon as a few people squatted on the ground and finished nibbling sweet potatoes, they saw a large armored car driving towards it from a distance.

After seeing the familiar logo of the Abnormal Energy Research Institute on the front of the car, Gu Xi lowered his eyes slightly.

On the side, Wei Heng and Shen Yue frowned at the same time, got up and glanced at each other: Is this impossible to avoid?

Fortunately, they had made some preparations in advance last night......

The armored car quickly stopped in front of Gu Xi and them.

The man who jumped out of the car first had cold eyebrows and a cold temperament, and walked straight to this side with his long legs and military boots.

Although it was the first time he had seen this face, Gu Xi recognized who this person was at a glance.

Ye Junhan.

Looking at the man's impeccable face, even Gu Xi had to admit that the black mask he had worn on his face before had indeed successfully covered most of this person's demeanor.

As the last time we met, the man was still wearing a black combat uniform, but this time his face was not covered by a black mask, and the facial contours exposed were flawless under the extremely short board size.

β€”β€”The sharp eyebrows and eyes are imposing, and under the high bridge of the nose is a thin lip that is slightly pursed, and when he is not smiling, he looks particularly cold and lonely.

This is a young, handsome, indifferent man who is very imposing, and very attractive to young girls.

But Gu Xi just glanced at this person indifferently, and his eyes immediately fell on the young girl who jumped out of the car later.

The girl was beautiful, the kind of beauty that could make people shine no matter what the occasion.

White clothes and red dresses, all kinds of styles, scorching beauty.

"That's Qi Xiang." Wei Heng leaned over, frowned and whispered, "However, why is she here too?" ”

Qi Xiang people are beautiful, their luck is very good, and they have been adopted by the famous Dr. Qi since they were children, and they have a bright future...... Many people say that Qi Xiang is probably the real winner in life.

But now, this winner in life in the eyes of everyone is extremely enthusiastic around his family Gu Xiaoxi.

If it weren't for the wrong gender, Wei Heng would even have to wonder if this Qi Xiang was deliberately showing his charm and teasing their Gu Xiaoxi?

Probably because when she first picked up Gu Xi, the little girl's face turned pale, her body was cold, and her breathing was weak, which was really shocking and impressive.

Therefore, in the matter of treating Gu Xi, Wei Heng has always had a deep filter - he always felt that Gu Xi was a lonely girl, and since he picked her up, he had the responsibility to take care of her.

But Wei Heng is an orphan, he has grown up in the army since he was a child, and he has very little experience getting along with girls, let alone how to take care of a girl.

He was always worried that he was not doing well enough, so he often fell into a mood of anxiety and doubt.

This kind of doubt is not just self-doubt, he began to doubt everyone who appeared around Gu Xi:

For example, Shen Yue has been dangling in front of Gu Xi these days, that is, the ambition of a wolf and deliberately seducing;

Another example is the Qi Xiang in front of him, who is softly talking and smiling around Gu Xi, that is, he has bad intentions and plots against him.

In short, it was a young man who was not old enough to break his father's heart.

If it were a different person, I would probably think that he was an outsider, and he was really a bit too much.

Gu Xi felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

In the past, in her team, she was the captain and the absolute output of force, and as for life, Ye Xin and Li Ming were mostly in charge.

No matter how bad it is, there are still Qi Ran and Xiao Yu.

In short, everyone goes out on tasks together as a team, and the division of labor cooperates, which is no different from her and Wei Heng working together to farm and live at this time.

But Qi Xiang is different.

Her ability is a little special, and at the first sight of Gu Xi, this girl's eyes lit up......
