Xie Chiyuan raised his hand and rubbed Yu An's head, pressing down all the tufts of hair on his head: "If that fish dares to come again next time, I'll slice him into sashimi."
Yu An imagined what the big fish looked like; if it were really sliced into sashimi, he would definitely throw up!
With Xie Chiyuan present, Song Jun hesitated before asking, "Instructor Xie, are you going back to the island first, or will we go back together on the ship later?"
Xie Chiyuan chose the former.
Perfect timing! He also wanted to see how effective Song Jun's newfound ability would be.
Dr. Tang Yi was responsible for monitoring Song Jun's health at all times, so he was also on the travel list. This ship was responsible for cleaning the sea surface to prevent infected fish and shrimp malformations from continuing to rot in the sea and affecting water quality.
While Xie Chiyuan and Song Jun were ahead, Tang Yi secretly called out to Yu An.
"Yu An".
"Why?"
Yu An stopped walking forward and turned to look at Dr. Tang.
Their eyes met, and Yu An understood what Dr. Tang Yi meant. He slowly took out the little butterfly and said, "The little butterfly is fine, you don't need to worry."
Tang Yi was still uneasy: "Give me the little butterfly, I want to check it."
Little Butterfly has been under Dr. Tang Yi's care for quite some time now, and Yu Anyou has gotten used to it.
He handed over the sleepy little butterfly, letting Dr. Tang examine him. During the examination, Yu An suddenly asked, "Dr. Tang, Song Jun was injured by a zombie. Will he be mistaken for a zombie?"
"Of course not."
Tang Yi looked down and examined the body while saying, "Song Jun has not been assimilated into a zombie. We have already checked. He has no desire to eat or bite humans, nor does he need flesh and blood to provide energy like a zombie."
"His physique is still human, but he has gained the ability to manipulate water."
Upon hearing this, Yu An realized that he was different from Song Jun.
Song Jun is a human being, but he is not.
He's a little zombie who only wants to eat big heads; he's the same kind as Sun Mo.
"Dr. Tang, the zombie everyone talked about before, he has self-awareness, doesn't bite, and even wants to find a base to protect humanity and contribute to humankind. Do you know how he is doing now?"
Yu An asked nervously. He had made up his mind. If Sun Mo could be accepted, he would be brave enough to reveal his identity to everyone.
You mean that zombie?
Tang Yi pondered for a few seconds, then remembered. His tone sounded somewhat casual: "He should be dead by now. He went to the human base, and I heard he was captured and put to research. During the research, he bit a researcher, and I heard that in the end, the entire base was destroyed."
"After the base was taken over by the supporting army, too many people died inside, so it's unclear whether he was among them."
Tang Yi's indifferent words sent a chill down Yu An's spine.
He remembered how determined Sun Mo's tone was when she stammered about protecting humanity. Yet, this sincere and devoted Sun Mo met a tragic end.
"Yu An, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing."
Yu An lowered his head to hide his embarrassment. He reached out and touched the wings of his little butterfly, then asked Tang Yi softly, "Dr. Tang, if I become a zombie like him, will you dissect me?"
Tang Yi did not answer.
After waiting for a while, just when Yu An thought he wouldn't answer, he replied calmly, "At least I won't."
As for whether others would want to perform an autopsy, Tang Yi couldn't answer that for them.
The little butterfly opened its eyes, looked at the persistent quack doctor, and rolled its eyes.
Trash doctor.
So what if his older brother is a zombie?
Anyone who dares to dig up his older brother's grave, those A-sequence aberration variants, they'll dig up the other person's ancestral grave and feed it to the dogs.
Time passed little by little.
Xie Chiyuan and Song Jun stayed outside for a long time, and the two even sparred with each other.
Song Jun wondered if the instructor who had always dominated him would be defeated by him now that he had superpowers.
However, two hours passed.
Song Jun was so badly abused that he felt utterly hopeless: "Thank you, Instructor. I was wrong."
Instructor Xie could even take down the infamous A-sequence aberration variant, yet this guy, with his meager abilities, couldn't believe he dared to challenge Instructor Xie.
Xie Chiyuan didn't hold it against him.
Back on the ship, Little Butterfly had been hidden away again. He nestled in Tang Yi's medical kit, which contained a smaller, breathable box lined with soft padding, making it very comfortable to lie in.
On the way back.
Yu An and Song Jun didn't get to talk much, but Tang Yi chatted with him the whole time.
Song Jun looked at Yu An, then at Yu An again, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart.
After his recovery, the first person he saw was Yu An. He couldn't forget how Yu An had insisted on taking him to find medicine during that life-or-death situation.
He couldn't let go of someone who treated him so well.
"Instructor Xie, do you think Dr. Tang has feelings for An'an? I've never seen him be so patient with anyone before. On our way here, he didn't say more than three sentences to me."
Song Jun turned his head suspiciously and asked Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan had known Tang Yi for a long time and naturally knew Tang Yi's personality. It has to be said that Tang Yi's attitude towards Yu An was somewhat abnormal.
Fortunately, Yu An didn't act strangely towards Tang Yi.
The boat had been sailing for a long time.
The group got off the car, and Yu An and Xie Chiyuan each carried a child. Both children were tired from the journey and were drowsy.
The people on the island breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Duo Duo return.
"Chi Yuan, after you put Duo Duo back, come with me." Ruan Ke appeared in front of them, his expression not very relaxed.
Yu An looked at them and listened carefully.
Ruan Ke glanced at Yu An, thought for a moment, and then called him over: "An'an, why don't you come too? You can also come and hear about the nutritional paste."
Nutritional paste is the cubs' staple food, which is very important to Yu An.
He nodded hastily and followed Xie Chiyuan to take the little one in his arms to rest. But before they even reached the room, both little ones woke up.
"Brother, we don't want to sleep."
Chongchong nuzzled Yu An's cheek and whispered, "Duoduo and I want to come down and play."
Yu An also felt that it was not good for children to stay cooped up in their rooms all the time, and that appropriate exercise was beneficial to their growth. So he put Chongchong on the ground and looked at Xie Chiyuan.
Duoduo is afraid of people, but with Chongchong by her side, she dares to go down and play.
The two children went to play hand in hand, while Yu An went to find Ruan Ke with Xie Chiyuan.
Before they even reached the laboratory, they ran into Yin Feng.
Yin Feng saw them and greeted them.
"I heard you led a team on another mission these past few days, and you did a great job." Xie Chiyuan looked at Yin Feng with appreciation, sparing no praise.
Yin Feng calmly accepted the praise and volunteered, "Instructor Xie, if there are any missions in the future, I can go with you."
Xie Chiyuan was pleased: "It's enough that you have this intention. My task is not suitable for you yet. After you have some more training, I will take you under my wing."
Yin Feng hummed in agreement.
No sooner had he left than Yu An started gossiping: "Xie Chiyuan, are you and Yin Feng really brothers?"
"Yes, I'm his brother."
Xie Chiyuan casually asked, "Is there a problem?"
Yu An thought about the taciturn Yin Feng and said sincerely, "I think his aura is a bit like yours."
It's just that our personalities don't match.
Yin Feng is very calm and composed, while Xie Chiyuan appears cold on the surface, but can actually be quite wicked at times!
The two walked side by side, Xie Chiyuan chatting away in a low voice, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the laboratory.
In the laboratory.
Ruan Ke was working on something, and the two of them didn't disturb him, quietly waiting for him to finish.
About ten minutes later, Ruan Ke finished his work.
He casually pulled out a chair and sat down, then informed Xie Chiyuan, "Our first batch of nutritional paste has been completed."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chiyuan replied without hesitation, "Then our deal with the Red Bird can proceed."
Before Ruan Ke even produced a sample of the nutritional paste, the Red Bird Organization had already begun discussing cooperation with them. The Red Bird Organization cultivated countless mutants, and in short, they desperately needed these nutritional pastes.
A deal has been reached, which should be a good thing.
However, Xie Chiyuan and Yu An both looked at Ruan Ke, and they felt that Ruan Ke seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Uncle Ruan, is there a problem with this batch of nutritional paste?"
A little.
Ruan Ke sighed and explained, "What I made is a new type of nutritional paste. When mutants consume this paste, it can meet their nutritional needs and is beneficial to their health. However, this nutritional paste is different from traditional nutritional pastes; it cannot make mutants stronger like traditional nutritional pastes do."
“Chi Yuan, I’ve received news that someone has obtained the formula for traditional nutritional paste.”
As soon as Ruan Ke spoke, Xie Chiyuan immediately realized: "Uncle Ruan, do you want me to find this person? Do you have any information on this person?"
"have."
Ruan Ke handed him the prepared materials.
Yu An leaned closer to take a look and was immediately stunned. He recognized the person in the file.
Chapter 51
"This person is Gu Ainan's student, named Ying Jian." Although there was information available, Ruan Ke still explained it to her personally.
