A cub of a little blue person?
Small and tiny, it must have been born not long ago. Its scales hadn't fully grown out, just a thin layer of blue. Its big, dark eyes blinked.
Xu Qian felt it was a disaster. She put on gloves and approached. The little thing didn't dodge, letting her grab it.
It was slippery and sticky.
"Sister Qian, what did you find!!"
"Hey? Can I play with it?"
Fia ran in excitedly. Another little thing?
She knew the little zombie was dead, and she was sad, but she also understood, after all, that was a zombie...
"Yes, you can temporarily take care of it in the space. However, after we go back, it will need to go to the laboratory for research."
Fia's eyes lit up, and she nodded as she took it.
She was quite young by Heisler's standards and was very curious about little things.
Xu Qian waved her hand, putting the two of them into the space, and then returned to the villa with the day's haul.
As soon as they stepped into the villa, two men rushed out.
Tang Zhishen looked her up and down before letting out a sigh of relief.
Tang Zhiyuan didn't make a move, but his eyes scanned her from head to toe.
"A Qian, are you alright? Why does your complexion look so bad?"
If Xu Qian hadn't left a note telling them not to look for her, he would have gone the moment he saw it.
Xu Qian shook her head and handed the phone from her pocket to Tang Zhishen.
"Today, I investigated the Green Lake Hot Spring Hotel and found two very interesting things."
Tang Zhishen frowned and tapped on the video. Loud music blared from the phone, followed by scenes of debauchery.
Tang Zhiyuan slowly approached and asked softly, "Are you really alright?"
"Of course, why would I lie to you? I've disrupted an experimental base, there's a lot of new data and new equipment. I also captured a newly born mutant. It should be of great help to the breeding experiments."
As soon as he mentioned experiments, the man's eyes lit up.
The breeding experiments were progressing relatively smoothly now, but the birth rate was too fast, and the offspring grew particularly quickly.
After intelligence tests, the young were far inferior to normal mutant beasts in intelligence. He feared that once humans were put into use, they would give birth to idiots...
In the apocalypse, that would be too fatal.
"A Qian, I'm going out. Dinner is heated on the table. You and Zhiyuan can eat first."
Seeing the urgency in his expression, Xu Qian knew he wanted to deal with this immediately.
"Okay."
Suddenly, the man stepped forward, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "A Qian, thank you."
[Ding, Tang Zhishen's favorability +2, total favorability is 60.]
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow as she watched his retreating back. It seemed that those in power had a common trait; bases were at least second, if not first, in their hearts.
"By the way, Zhiyuan, do you still have that amnesia potion for your parents?"
Tang Zhiyuan was stunned and shook his head. "No. My mother said it was something she got decades ago when she was dating Dad. At the time, she wanted to leave Dad, but she didn't in the end, so she kept it."
"Why do you need this?"
Xu Qian's lips twitched, and she said faintly, "It's nothing, just asking."
If Lian could be made to forget her and leave her, that would also be a good outcome.
"Let's go, we'll head to the laboratory."
Tang Zhiyuan's brow furrowed, still a little worried.
He leaned down and gently embraced her, burying his head in her soft, fragrant neck, and said in a deep voice,
"Xu Qian, you can tell me anything. I'm willing to be your listener."
