Chapter 78 Foresight? Rebirth?
The next morning, Yu Yao got up early to wash up and went downstairs.
Before going to sleep, she used her abilities as a spirit rune master to make several small spatial equipment for her teammates.
It is used to store talismans and weapons that are not used on a daily basis.
At the same time, you can use the system's forging skills to simply add materials to basic weapons purchased from the store.
They modified her twin swords.
Because she was quite tired, she slept well that night.
She knew this without having to specifically check on her teammates.
Her hard-working teammates also achieved good results, all of them breaking through to level two.
The strength has reached a new level!
......
On the sofa in the living room on the first floor, Dongfang Jin, who always gets up early, was looking at a stack of documents with Chi Heng.
Qi Xian hummed a song as he prepared breakfast ingredients.
On the stairs, Jiang Yi was yawning as he came downstairs when he saw Yu Yao, which surprised him.
"Xiao Qi? Why are you up so early today?"
Dongfang Jin turned around upon hearing the voice and said to Yu Yao, "Xiao Qi, come and see something interesting."
Yu Yao and Jiang Yi quickly walked over and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
Chi Heng handed the documents in his hand to Yu Yao and said directly, "The person the Liao family is hiding is named Bai Yanqi, and he is the head of the Jianghai Biological Laboratory."
Jiang Yi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this name.
"Jianghai Biology? Isn't that an affiliated laboratory of He'an?"
Dongfang Jin nodded and handed the documents in her hand to Jiang Yi, "It's He'an. You'll understand once you take a look at the documents."
Out of curiosity, Yu Yao and Jiang Yi quickly looked at the information, their brows furrowing more and more deeply.
Luo Mei came downstairs at that moment.
"Huh? Everyone's here? Where's my brother?"
Dongfang Jin said, "Pingjing is modifying the car we'll be using to leave."
It's not that no one is willing to help.
However, when Luo Pingjing was modifying equipment and conducting research, he never liked having anyone around, just like when he was cooking.
What to do, what needs to be done, and which steps can be performed simultaneously.
He has his own rhythm.
Apart from Jiang Yi, who cooks at a similar pace to him.
For him, having someone to help him is actually a burden that disrupts his rhythm.
It will make him angry.
......
"Oh, what are you doing?"
"Want to take a look at the information?"
"What information?"
Although Luo Mei was curious, she was not very interested.
Chi Heng then said, "Last night, the person behind Liao Jing sent someone to attack Xiao Qi. I followed the trail and found out who it was: Bai Yanqi from Jianghai Biological."
Luo Mei paid no attention to anything related to Jianghai Sound Creatures or Bai Yanqi.
She only heard one sentence: Someone attacked Xiaoqi last night!
She turned to Yu Yao with wide eyes, "An attack? When did that happen?"
Luo Mei was indeed unaware of what happened last night.
Because absorbing crystal nuclei requires a high degree of concentration, one cannot multitask.
Unless the noise is too loud or someone comes to disturb us intentionally.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for superhumans to pay attention to their surroundings when absorbing crystal cores!
This is why someone has to take turns keeping watch while Luo Mei and the others absorb the crystal cores.
Last night, when Yu Yao was in danger, everyone was focused on absorbing the crystal core, and they were quite far away.
That's why Bai Yanqi's people were able to seize the opportunity.
The reason Yu Yao didn't inform Chi Heng, who was on night watch, was...
The concern was that once he left, the villa's security would be weakened, making it vulnerable to intrusion.
Yu Yao didn't want to say too much about what happened last night and worry Luo Mei.
So he waved his hand casually, "Don't worry, nothing's wrong. But are you familiar with this Jianghai Biology?"
Luo Mei nodded. "I've dealt with him before. Bai Yanqi is the person in charge there. He tried to take advantage of the boss but ended up having his lab ransacked by the boss. He escaped in the chaos and then disappeared without a trace. He's reappeared? What right does he have to attack you!"
Yu Yao's eyebrows twitched slightly.
So that's how it all started...
Chi Heng waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to say anything more, and then explained everything that happened last night.
After he showed up last night, he easily took control of everyone present.
The Liao Lanjiang family of three can be easily dealt with.
That's the child...
Chi Heng didn't want Yu Yao to go because he was afraid she would soften her heart.
But Chi Heng wouldn't.
To this day, the bodies of the three Liao family members are still hanging on the wall in the basement by vines.
They died from shedding blood.
Got it!
Yu Yao's air bomb was wasted again!
......
Although, they were merely bewitched by the magical potion mentioned by Bai Yanqi.
They thought that if they listened to him, they could get the drug that could activate their superpowers.
But... his intentions are despicable!
The children were all innocent, but Chi Heng didn't care.
He just wanted to eliminate the problem completely!
In addition, given the child's special abilities, Chi Heng was even less willing to take the risk.
Bai Yanqi, on the other hand, is actually a level three ability user.
Although the level of cultivation is high, it still caused a little trouble.
After subduing him, he interrogated him thoroughly and even managed to extract two boxes of medicine from him.
A box of milky white "power-enhancing potions" contained in an exquisitely designed translucent glass bottle.
It is said that ordinary people may develop supernatural abilities upon first use.
Those with superpowers can enhance their abilities after consuming it.
......
A box of blue-purple "power-suppressing drugs" contained in metal syringes.
The two types of medicine consist of five vials and four vials, and the missing vial is currently lying in Yu Yao's backpack compartment.
Luo Mei asked in confusion, "A potion? It's only been a few days? They've already developed a potion?"
Chi Heng said, "That's the key point. If he's not lying, He'an and all its affiliated laboratories began researching special abilities and superpower drugs as early as three years ago. They are absolutely certain that the apocalypse will come!"
Yu Yao frowned, subconsciously wondering if there were other people who had been reborn like the original owner.
Or is it that someone like Dongfang Jin has awakened the ability to foresee the future?
It's just that it awakened earlier?
Luo Mei hissed, "Good heavens~ Three years ago? Did you foresee the future?"
The villa's kitchen is open-plan and connected to the living room.
As Qi Xian arranged the prepared ingredients, he said, "No wonder He An's research institute studies orcs; they knew what was going on all along! But that doesn't make sense; orc research started ten years ago!"
This is not right!
This timing is wrong!
......
Jiang Yi's attention, however, was focused on those so-called medicines.
"What's with those potions? Can they really stimulate and enhance superpowers?"
Chi Heng shook his head. "The effect was so-so. The six superhumans who attacked Xiao Qi yesterday, although they had the aura of level two superhumans, their strength was only at the late stage of level one. Bai Yanqi also only has the strength of the late stage of level two."
"As for the inhibitor, I only gave Bai Yanqi half a dose, and he lost his superpowers. He didn't recover until this morning."
Jiang Yi clicked his tongue in amazement, "There's such a thing? He An is really..."
It leaves one speechless.
Chi Heng glanced sideways and noticed that Yu Yao was still lost in thought, so he said to her, "Bai Yanqi is in the basement. If you want to take revenge, you can go there yourself."
"Huh?" Yu Yao snapped out of her daze. "Oh, okay."
......
After breakfast, the group went to the basement together.
The thin, withered, and unusually pale middle-aged man was leaning lazily against the corner of the wall.
Hearing the noise, he merely lifted his eyelids slightly.
She only perked up when she looked up and saw Yu Yao standing next to Luo Mei.
He scrambled to his feet in a fluster and tried to run to Yu Yao.
He was tightly bound to that one-square-meter area by a vine, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out.
Even so, he didn't take his eyes off Yu Yao.
Instead, he excitedly exclaimed, "Little girl, is that you?"
"You're the one who pulled out the umbrella that can repel zombies, right?"
"What is that umbrella? Why is it so magical? Do you have any others? Or do you have other magical items?"
"Take it out and let me see it. Cooperate with me and tell me where those things came from and how they got there. Let's cooperate! Dominate the apocalypse! Okay?"
"Trust me, with me here, we'll definitely uncover the secrets! We'll definitely dominate the apocalypse!!"
Yu Yao couldn't help but chuckle, then smiled sarcastically and said, "Dominate the apocalypse? You? You can't even break free from a single vine?"
Perhaps Yu Yao touched a nerve, Bai Yanqi was stunned for a moment, then struggled even more fiercely.
"What do you know? That man next to you, he's a monster! It's not my fault!"
Yu Yao smiled and said, "Oh, really? But that's precisely why I know better how to choose!"
Bai Yanqi spat fiercely.
"You fool, he's too capable to need you. You can be discarded at any time. But me, I won't! As long as you can produce those things, I can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and luxury! No one can replace you!"
Yu Yao seemed intrigued, "Really?"
Actually, Bai Yanqi was right about something.
Chi Heng and the others probably never needed her so-called rare items.
Even without her, they can live a very good life.
She had long since discovered that her teammates were not very dependent on those so-called equipment and weapons.
Most of the time, they rely on themselves.
Those things are to them.
Yes, it’s the icing on the cake.
No, and it's not a big deal!
But Bai Yanqi was also wrong.
Because what Yu Yao needs is never what anyone else needs.
She can live a good life on her own, no matter who leaves her.
The reason those things were taken out.
It's just because she happened to have it.
Others just happen to not have it.
Those equipment and weapons that don't suit her attributes or are not convenient for her to use.
Leaving it in the space is nothing more than a meaningless waste.
That's it.
What she really wants to experience is what it feels like to have someone to rely on and someone to trust.
At least for now, in this cruel and bleak apocalypse, she's doing quite well.
Compared to her previous life, when she fought alone and had no one to rely on, this was a far cry from her previous life.
There are many good ones.
There are people who care, and people who are there for you.
This is enough.
Seeing that her expression softened, Bai Yanqi assumed that a crack had appeared in her heart.
He quickly replied, "Of course it's true! Tell me, tell me, do you have any other amazing things? Let me see!"
"Yes, if you want to see it, I'll show it to you."
Yu Yao finished speaking with a smile and then made a slight gesture with her palm facing upwards.
A plump, colorful auspicious cloud appeared in her palm, playfully undulating slightly.
"A flying artifact, with a speed approaching ten thousand per hour. Impressive, isn't it?"
After saying that, the auspicious cloud transformed into a dark, crescent-shaped blade.
"Crescent Slash, a dark-elemental magical weapon, possesses inherent dark-elemental corrosive power and can amplify the damage of dark-elemental abilities threefold. Want it?"
"Beast-catching ring: After activating it with your special ability, throw it at the mutated beast and you'll have a chance to subdue it and turn it into your pet."
"And there's a summoning token. If you don't have a suitable mutated beast to capture, you can summon one yourself. Isn't that amazing?"
As Yu Yao displayed each item, Bai Yanqi had long since fallen silent.
His eyes were fixed greedily on Yu Yao's palm, as if he wanted to snatch everything and examine it carefully.
Even Luo Mei and the others were somewhat surprised by the amazing nature of the equipment and props in Yu Yao's hands.
Yu Yao just smiled mischievously and, under Bai Yanqi's greedy gaze, put the summoning token that was floating in her palm back into her backpack.
"You like it? You want it?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm just showing it to you. I'm not giving it to you, are you angry?"
Seeing Yu Yao's smiling face, Bai Yanqi's expression changed drastically.
Only then did he snap out of his greed and excitement, realizing that Yu Yao was just toying with him.
Then he said viciously, "You bitch! Don't fall into my hands, or I'll skin you alive and take out all those treasures one by one!"
Taking advantage of his moment of vulnerability, Luo Mei unleashed her full mental power, pouring it into Bai Yanqi's mind to search his soul.
This is the new ability she just gained last night after breaking through to become a level two mental power user.
The reason why Yu Yao provoked him like that.
This was so that Luo Mei could easily search his soul when he was off guard.
Bai Yanqi initially tried to resist, but soon fell into a dazed state, and his fierce eyes became lifeless.
Ten minutes later, Luo Mei took a step back, her face slightly pale.
Yu Yao gently helped her steady, and after Luo Pingjing took over to support her, she reached out and took out her horizontal sword.
He took a few steps forward and, without pausing, sliced off Bai Yanqi's head.
He calmly watched as his messy head tumbled to the ground, leaving a trail of glaring blood.
Yu Yao agreed with one of Chi Heng's remarks.
The saying "to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself" has been said to death.
She couldn't possibly not understand!
But to her surprise, she killed someone who was on her blacklist and had a malice level of over 90.
Surprisingly, equipment can drop from it.
In addition, the opponent is a level 3 ability user who is much higher than her, so the drop rate is quite considerable.
Yu Yao glanced at the "Pharmaceutical Making" skill book and medicine furnace lying quietly in the backpack compartment, and fell silent.
......
After leaving the basement, Yu Yao helped Luo Mei to the sofa to rest and gave her a remedy to put in her mouth.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Dongfang Jin asked worriedly, "How are you? Should you rest for a day before you leave?"
Luo Mei waved her hand in refusal, "No need, I'm fine. Let's get down to business first."
In Bai Yanqi's memory, the research on superpowered drugs did indeed begin three years ago!
Three years ago, the headquarters of He'an suddenly sent a group of people and data to Jianghai Laboratory.
He was asked to lead his team to put aside all other projects and focus on researching superpower potions.
And since then, they have been sending people to check on the progress every few days, as if they are in a great hurry.
Most importantly, the other party would often send him items with special abilities and...humans.
For Bai Yanqi and others to study by cutting the specimens!
It was precisely those people with special abilities that allowed Bai Yanqi to seize upon the so-called special abilities!
Unfortunately, he never met the actual leaders at headquarters, nor did he know who was in charge of these experiments.
Occasionally, when the behind-the-scenes boss interacts directly with him, they will use a voice changer and a virtual avatar to communicate with him online.
Interestingly, the other party always manages to offer the most crucial direction when his research hits a bottleneck.
Therefore, Bai Yanqi was both curious and respectful of this behind-the-scenes boss.
Honestly, Bai Yanqi probably wants to know more about who his boss is than anyone else here.
I want to know what that person is like...
A genius!
