Chapter 226 Relying on the Blessing of Divine Beasts, Bravely Venturing into the Apocalypse 60
Now everyone's attention has returned to Li Hua and Bu Shuxin.
"You two bitches, you think you can just run away?" Sun Jiayi cursed angrily, while glancing uncomfortably at Qiu Tong.
Upon receiving an apologetic look from Sun Jiayi, Qiu Tong knew he had misunderstood and immediately stepped forward to clarify the situation.
"No, I have nothing to do with these two anymore. I'm just here to watch the show, so you don't need to worry about me."
“Me too,” Li Mengran raised her little hand in agreement.
Li Hua and Bu Shuxin stared wide-eyed in disbelief, making loud "woo woo woo" noises, and it seemed they were swearing quite rudely.
Unfortunately, Qiu Tong didn't care at all and continued to lean against the door with her arms crossed in a cool manner.
Because both of them were women, the Sun family had a rule that men should not hit women.
So the older and younger aunts stepped forward and slapped each other until they saw stars and couldn't speak anymore before they stopped.
After the older and younger aunts stopped slapping Li Hua and Bu Shuxin, Sun's mother, aunt, and other young girls also stepped forward and gave Li Hua and Bu Shuxin a good beating.
My cousin, being a doctor, specifically targeted the two women's most painful spots. When her hands started to hurt from the needles, she took out acupuncture needles from her pocket and distributed them to the elders and younger sisters, who then used the needles to prick the two women.
Li Hua and Bu Shuxin groaned in pain as they were slapped. Their mouths were stuffed with something, and their cheeks were swollen from being slapped. The groans aggravated their facial injuries, making them even more miserable.
My cousin still thought they were being a bit noisy, so she took action and dislocated their jaws, preventing them from groaning and whimpering anymore, and saliva dripped from their mouths and down their chins.
The two women fell to the ground, swaying from side to side, trying to avoid being pricked by the needles. Because of their excessive struggle, it was difficult for the Sun family woman to insert the needles, so she gestured to her husband to come and help hold them down.
Upon receiving orders from his wife (daughter, sister, and younger sister), the men of the Sun family obediently stepped forward to help hold down the hands and feet of the two women, making it easier for their family members to insert the needles.
We can't hit women, but we can at least help hold them down, right?
When they first heard that these two women had harmed Sun Jiayi, they wanted to take matters into their own hands and deal with them, but they held back because of family rules.
Soon, Li Hua and Bu Shuxin were covered in blood from being stabbed by the Sun family women. After stabbing their front, they were turned over and stabbed in their backs. In short, their entire bodies were stabbed in every nook and cranny.
Qiu Tong was puzzled as to why Li Hua and Bu Shuxin didn't use their special abilities to resist.
It's not like before the apocalypse. Everyone who can get into the base has superpowers. Since they have superpowers, shouldn't they unconsciously use them to protect themselves in times of crisis?
Those who were stationed near the entrance during the New Year's Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, seeing that there was nothing for them to do, enthusiastically acted as guides, answering Qiu Tong's questions.
New Year's Day: "Boss, don't you find it strange that they didn't use their superpowers to resist?"
Actually, after we captured them, we first gave them a drug to suppress their supernatural abilities, so they are temporarily powerless and unable to resist.
Zhongqiu: "This drug was developed by accident while researching how to deal with mutated animals and insectoids."
But we don't have many on hand, so we'll use them on these two this time.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tong immediately became interested in the medicine. "Who was the brilliant genius who developed this medicine? I'll ask them for advice when I have the chance."
The clever cousin turned around and shamelessly took all the credit.
"It's me, isn't that amazing? I'll teach you once I figure it out." My cousin changed her expression from blank to winking and saying with a smug look.
Qiu Tong: "???"
What do you mean by "understand it clearly"? Have you forgotten how it was developed?
What about your aloof persona from the beginning? Why don't you hold on a little longer and not break down so quickly?
Zhongqiu leaned closer to Qiutong and whispered, "The young lady participated in this research. It was because she accidentally put the wrong drug into the experimental agent that this drug to suppress superpowers was developed."
However, the young lady was dozing off when she administered the medication, and she forgot which drugs she used and in what order, so we don't have much of this medication in stock right now.
Standing beside Qiu Tong, Li Mengran naturally heard what Zhongqiu said. She asked curiously, "Why is your young lady still researching this medicine? Isn't it a harmful drug that hurts both herself and others?"
Once this drug enters the market, given the nature of humanity in the apocalypse, many people will surely use it to harm their fellow countrymen. Li Mengran doesn't understand why they have to research this drug.
Yuandan also joined the discussion, saying, "Now that some mutant animals with special abilities have appeared, this drug can be used to suppress their special abilities. The research institute also plans to continue to study this drug."
The initial purpose of researching it was to deal with mutated animals and insectoids, and the research direction at that time was to disrupt the genetic chains of mutated animals and insectoids.
Leaving aside the Zerg, since they are alien species with body structures and genetic chains completely different from humans and animals, the destruction of them has no impact.
Even if the genetic chain of the mutated animal is damaged by drugs, the mutated animal can still move normally, and may even become more ferocious and more aggressive.
It should be said that when the apocalypse arrived, the gene chains of the mutated animals had already been recombined and rearranged. Why they did not die after their gene chains were destroyed is still under investigation.
The research institute has been working on new drugs to weaken the strength of mutant animals, but unfortunately, the results have been unsatisfactory.
The research was put on hold after news broke that the mutant animals were edible.
The young lady was suddenly awakened from a nap on the day the project was announced to be suspended. Her hand trembled, and she accidentally poured the unknown drug into the reagent, thus creating this drug to suppress supernatural abilities.
Qiu Tong: "..."
Li Mengran: "..."
This young lady is really unreliable. Her intellectual appearance is a scam. I don't know how she got into the research institute. Did she get in through her family?
Although she deserves credit for developing the drug to suppress superpowers, it wasn't something she did alone. She even shamelessly claimed all the credit just now.
Seeing the indescribable expressions on Qiu Tong and Li Mengran's faces, Zhongqiu quickly defended his young mistress, saying, "Don't be fooled by how unreliable the young mistress is; she's still very clever."
So you knew your young lady was unreliable.
Qiu Tong and Li Mengran were speechless again. Was this Mid-Autumn Festival meant to clear his young lady's name or to smear her? The way he said it sounded more like a smear campaign.
More than whether the young lady was reliable or not, Qiu Tong was curious about how you knew so much about her, especially since you weren't even there at the time.
The unreliable young lady, Sun Jiahui, suddenly squeezed into the small circle of the four of them discussing, gritting her teeth and saying, "It's all because of my annoying uncle and maternal uncle. When they come home, they talk about this to everyone they meet, and they don't even spare the mutated dog that the neighbor keeps, they have to say a few words to it."
It turns out that most of the people in the Sun family and the Wang family, where Sun Jiayi's mother lived, were research staff with official positions.
Both the Sun and Wang families are renowned scientific research families, with Sun Weining (the younger uncle) and Wang Jiarui (the younger brother) being the most outstanding among them.
This scientific research experiment was launched jointly by the two companies after the apocalypse. At that time, the coastal areas had been rapidly submerged by seawater, and the two companies could no longer stay in Beijing.
The day after the apocalypse was predicted, experts, based on satellite images, predicted that seawater would reach Beijing within the next few days.
Therefore, many officials or wealthy individuals with inside knowledge of the situation traveled by air to high-altitude inland areas during the first few days of the apocalypse.
Government departments are also doing their best, using military trucks and loudspeakers to announce to the city that the sea is about to flood Beijing, urging everyone to flee to higher ground.
The horn blare attracted nearby mutated animals, and the army opened fire, shooting the newly evolved and still fragile mutated animals dead with a single shot.
At that time, airplanes were still usable. Those who decisively abandoned everything and fled Beijing quickly with only cash, jewelry, gold bars, and other valuables successfully escaped by air.
Just like when they flew to Shaanxi Province to rescue Sun Jiayi during the cold winter, the sooner they left, the safer they would be.
However, some people who couldn't bear to leave behind the abundant supplies in Beijing only discovered that the air routes were no longer passable when they finished packing their supplies and were ready to set off.
Several families, carrying abundant supplies, were the first to take to the skies, but before their planes even reached the troposphere, they were attacked by mutated birds, and those planes crashed to the ground with no survivors.
The sounds of planes crashing one after another quickly spread throughout Beijing. Soon, everyone in Beijing knew that air travel was no longer an option, and everyone's attention quickly turned to water and land routes.
Because aquatic creatures do not evolve as quickly as terrestrial animals and birds, traveling by water was still relatively safe at the time. As long as there were large ships, any amount of supplies could be loaded onto them.
The Sun family owned several giant cruise ships, and the Wang family had an entire cargo shipping company. So, the two families, along with the maternal relatives of the eldest aunt, youngest aunt, eldest maternal aunt, youngest maternal aunt, and eldest cousin's wife, fled Beijing.
The supplies that were originally intended to be transported by air were reloaded onto cruise ships and cargo ships, and so a whole fleet of ships set off together in a grand manner.
Initially, they planned to drift directly to Shaanxi Province with the rising tide to reunite with Sun Jiayi, and then go to other regions to find other relatives who were away on business trips.
But halfway there, aquatic creatures began to evolve and attack their ship.
While dodging attacks from mutated aquatic animals, they deviated from their original course.
Finally, with no other option, they quickly landed on the shore, leaving some men to settle the supplies on the ships, while the rest, under the protection of guards, reached the nearby Chuan City base.
Looking at the map, the Sichuan base is not far from the Shaanxi base; it's located in a neighboring province.
However, the actual distance from the Sichuan base to the Shaanxi base is much longer than what is shown on the map.
Their experiments on disrupting the gene chains of mutated animals began at the Sichuan City base.
