Chapter 82 That Cannon Fodder in an Apocalyptic Novel 14
After Song Xianyin finished applying the medicine, she realized that she could have just asked Xi Yu to come.
She wrapped Ruan Jingsheng's hands up in a mess, and after all that fuss, she was sweating from exhaustion.
But it doesn't matter. We don't need to worry too much about the results. The most important thing is to let Ruan Jingsheng know her feelings and to protect her well.
Ruan Jingsheng looked at the bandage on his hand, his eyes full of smiles: "Thank you, Miss Song."
This was the first time someone had been so patient with him.
Looking at his touched face, Song Xianyin sighed. Being too kind isn't good either; it makes one vulnerable to being bullied.
She simply bandaged his wound, and even that was done with ulterior motives, yet he was already so moved.
Song Xianyin felt extremely sad. She gave him a light hug, and when she let go, Ruan Jingsheng felt a little reluctant.
He suddenly longed for more of her hugs.
Song Xianyin was exhausted. She sat down to rest, and as she sat, the black mist began to spread to Ruan Jingsheng.
She looked down at the mutated ants on the ground, pretending nothing had happened. But she couldn't be blamed; the black mist had simply surged towards her on its own.
The dodder flower works like this, constantly absorbing the host's energy.
Ruan Jingsheng was taken aback for a moment. He took her hand to make it easier for her to swallow.
A few days later, Ruan Jingsheng moved everyone to the new base.
The new base is close to a water source and also has a laboratory that has not yet been destroyed.
The relocation of the base these past few days has been particularly tiring, but Song Xianyin has found it quite relaxing.
She had only recently joined them, and didn't have many belongings to begin with; Ruan Jingsheng simply carried over the few bags of things she had.
At first, everyone really wanted to move to the new base, but they had too much stuff, and their mood changed. They started to complain and blame Ruan Jingsheng.
But Ruan Jingsheng seemed oblivious to all of this. After moving his and Song Xianyin's belongings, he began cleaning up the new base.
"It's so annoying, why are we moving things? We've been here for so long." A man was sweating profusely.
Another man cursed, "I heard the captain wanted to make things easier for Xinlong. Is it that tiring? If this is tiring, then she shouldn't be a superhuman."
Xinlong paused for a moment, but said nothing and continued tidying her things.
Suddenly, a bag of luggage was thrown in front of Xinlong.
"Xinlong, help us carry this to the car, my hands hurt so much." The male superhuman started to slack off, lying in the corner with a pained expression on his face.
Just then, another bag of luggage was thrown in front of her, and the man said sarcastically, "We even moved our base for you, so why don't you work a little harder today?"
In the past, Xinlong would have definitely argued with them, saying that moving to a new base wasn't just about water.
But now she wouldn't, because she knew they were just venting their anger; they weren't reasonable people at all.
Xin Long hugged her clothes, glanced down at the luggage on the ground, and kicked it away.
The luggage in the bag immediately scattered all over the floor. Before the man next to her could react, Xin Long lowered her head and quickly left.
"What the hell?! Are you out of your mind?!" the man yelled from behind.
Xinlong tried her best to suppress her nervousness and ran faster and faster.
This was the first time she had ever done something like this. She wondered if it was impolite, but she was genuinely happy afterward…
After everyone settled down at the new base, Xinlong brought back the refugees she had encountered before.
The base is large enough to accommodate them.
The land in the post-apocalyptic world has been almost completely destroyed, and the superhumans in the base have been researching how to restore the land so that it can grow food.
After all, finding food outside is too inefficient.
Just a week after settling into the new base, Ruan Jingsheng found an earth-type ability user from somewhere.
He was much more useful than Zhou Zheng. He quickly repaired the harmful substances in the land, and the ordinary people in the base also started farming.
Ruan Jingsheng did not have high food requirements; he only drank nutrient solution every day, and he hardly left the laboratory during this period.
He and several other superhumans spend their days in the lab researching how to enhance plant genes.
Xin Long is also very busy. Now that she no longer has to go easy on the superhumans, she has more time to do her own things, and she also has her own training place.
Although Song Xianyin met with them less and less often, she felt extremely at ease. With so many people in the base, she would definitely have time to escape if zombies came.
Every day she either goes to the fields to check on the vegetables or to the canteen to see what new dishes are available. The new base is taking good care of her, and her complexion has become much rosier.
Just as she was leaving, she saw Ruan Jingsheng walking towards the laboratory with a group of people.
She was about to go up and say hello when she saw Ruan Jingsheng's cold profile.
His brows were furrowed, and there was obvious impatience on his face. He walked quickly.
Song Xianyin had never seen Ruan Jingsheng like this before, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should go forward.
"Captain, aren't we moving too slowly? What if zombies break in..." The superhuman beside him followed closely, trying to get his attention.
Ruan Jingsheng smiled, but the smile was somewhat cold: "Your eagerness won't change anything."
The superhuman next to him choked up; he really couldn't understand his captain.
At first, they were just studying plants, but then they started studying viruses. That's one thing, but those viruses are so dangerous, yet the team leader didn't provide any protective measures for the test tubes.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to the people in the base if these viruses were leaked.
The person next to him retorted, "The captain must have his own ideas. Don't always be so nosy. These things can be used to deal with zombies later."
The superhuman looked at the person who spoke and shook his head helplessly. However, the viruses did not cause much harm to the zombies, but they were particularly harmful to the human body.
Xin Long listened quietly from the side. Actually, she also felt that something was wrong. She had seen the captain bring ordinary people into the laboratory twice.
Those people were ordinary people with no ability to protect themselves. Although they seemed normal when they came out of the laboratory, Xinlong had a bad feeling.
Ruan Jingsheng was in a hurry. From moving to the new base to conducting experiments, it seemed like he had some mission he had to complete, a mission he had never told them.
Xin Long glanced at Ruan Jingsheng beside her and frowned. Ever since the captain moved to the new base, he seemed to have started acting strangely.
Although he would smile at them, that smile was noticeably different. Sometimes she would dream that she died at the captain's hands.
Xinlong shook her head, trying to dispel the memories in her mind, hoping that she was just overthinking it.
