Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 238 - Ye Qing Evolver NO.1
Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Ye Qing, Evolver NO.1?!
Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Ye Qing, Evolver NO.1?!
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yan’s brows twitched fiercely a few times, feeling a bad premonition.
Kong Wu said, “Sister Yaen, please allow me to organize my thoughts and see where to start explaining to you.”
During the little more than a month after they separated from Xiangcheng, many bizarre things had happened to them.
“Okay.” Jiang Yan, though somewhat anxious, didn’t rush him.
Seeing Kong Wu’s face even looked tense, she got up and took out a portable alcohol stove from her backpack and placed it on the ice bed, poured some alcohol into it, then placed a small pot on top, added some ice cubes from the ice box, and lit it, slowly heating it.
There was readily available hot and cold water in Space, but with Kong Wu nearby, she could only opt for the most unadorned way of getting water.
After a while, Kong Wu finally spoke with difficulty, “Sister Yaen, Ye Qing, he evolved…”
“Evolved??!!” The wooden spoon that Jiang Yan used to stir the ice cubes stopped abruptly, and her arched back stiffened on the spot.
She took a deep breath, rubbed her temples and sat down on the ice stump:
“So, today, before I entered the base and encountered those Mutated Rats, those tall figures in black clothing, they are the Mutant People from the base’s laboratory??!! Is Ye Qing also inside??!!”
“Yes.” Seeing that she had already witnessed a part of it, Kong Wu’s deeply furrowed brows relaxed a little.
Jiang Yan was stunned for a second.
What sort of wild and fanciful black technology was this…
It had only been little more than a month since they parted, how did Ye Qing grow from about one meter eighty to over two meters…
Watermelons injected with growth serum could become bigger in twenty days.
But can the cell division rate of human bodies compare with that of plants??
Jiang Yan asked, “Kong Wu, explain in detail, how did he mutate?”
“To be precise, he didn’t mutate, he is the first Evolved Person successfully experimented on by the base who paid a heavy price,” Kong Wu added.
Hearing these words, Jiang Yan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings as she pictured Ye Qing, bloodied and battling Mutated Giant Rats outside the base.
But according to what Chu Hui and others told before, Ye Qing was supposed to have fled.
How did he end up as an experimental subject?
What happened in between?
But she couldn’t just ask such questions outright.
She had some trust in Kong Wu, but not as much as she had in Su Dai and Ye Qing, so she chose a different approach:

“Right, Kong Wu, Su Dai, Sun Jingtao, and Song Qian weren’t taken to the laboratory, were they?”
“No, I’ll explain their situation to you in detail later,” Kong Wu said, noticing her grave expression, he quickly reassured her:
“Sister Yaen, you don’t have to worry too much, Ye Qing has now successfully evolved, and actually, it isn’t a bad thing.”
Jiang Yan frowned, “What do you mean? The person has mutated; how could that be a good thing?”
“Sister Yaen, evolution and mutation are actually two different concepts.” Kong Wu paused for a second, then recited word for word what Brother Song Qian had told him:
“Mutation is a change in genes or phenotypes, the change is random, it may be beneficial to the organism, neutral, or harmful;
But evolution is the result of natural selection and genetic variation, the ones that adapt to the environment are beneficial.
Now, Ye Qing’s body has grown larger, his physical strength has also been enhanced, and he’s extremely resistant to the cold. As for whether his other abilities have been strengthened, or if there are any other dangers in his body, we do not know yet.
In any case, he’s now like a panda at the base, well-protected by the laboratory, and we don’t get to see him on a daily basis.”
Jiang Yan listened and took a deep breath.
Haste makes waste.
If it’s really that good, then this NO.1 Evolver would be the top tier of the upper echelons.
As for being protected like a panda?
Forget about it.
If it weren’t for Ye Qing’s martial arts skills, among the corpses of the men in black that died on the snowy field today, there would have been one of him.
Looking back at it now, today’s events outside the base also seemed explainable.
“Puh-puh.” The water in the pot started to boil.
“Kong Wu, continue,” Jiang Yan got up, added some White Sugar, and stirred gently.
She turned off the heat, took out two cups, poured the sugar water into them, let them sit for a moment, and then handed one to Kong Wu.
The extreme cold weather gave a great difference between the perceived temperature and the actual temperature.
Many people would take a freshly boiled hot water, not feeling it’s hot and drink it, often scalding their tongues and throats.
So it’s generally safer to first warm your hands, and when the water temperature is about right, then drink.
Kong Wu took a few sips of the sugar water, feeling much warmer, and his speech became more fluid.
With Kong Wu’s narration, everything that had happened in Xiangcheng after the earthquake unfolded in Jiang Yan’s mind.
The moment the earthquake struck, Ye Qing was desperate to rescue Jiang Yan from the mall and was carried out by Song Qian.
Once they arrived at the car park and he set Ye Qing down, Ye Qing ran back recklessly into the mall without a care for his life.
“Actually, the earthquake was so severe, going back to find you was like courting death. All of us, including Ye Qing himself, knew this.
But at that time, it was like he was possessed, uncontrollably drawn to go inside, with no fear of death, his eyes reddening…” When Kong Wu said this, he sneakily glanced at Jiang Yan.
But seeing that she was calmly and attentively listening, he had no choice but to continue:
Ye Qing was reckless and unafraid of death at the time, but Sun Jingtao and the others couldn’t just let him go to his death.
Eventually, a billboard above Ye Qing’s head fell from the sky as the walls of the mall were torn apart; Sun Jingtao subconsciously pushed Ye Qing aside but was unexpectedly hit by another piece of shattered boulder.
After that, the mall collapsed with a thunderous noise, and the car park where several people were located also cracked all over.
One misstep, and they could be Devoured by the fissures.
Injuries were sustained to various degrees, and they had no choice but to drag one another, enduring through the long night of continuous Aftershocks.
The next day dawned.
A military helicopter arrived; it came to search and rescue the convoy.
The convoy, after the earthquake and the attack by Mutated Rats, suffered heavy casualties, but Dr. Xue and his group inside the bright red Mercedes were unharmed.
On the helicopter was also a person, because of her, Song Qian and the others could be rescued.
“Who?” Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised.
Kong Wu paused for a moment before saying:
“You probably don’t know her if I say her name; she’s the younger sister of Yaoben Base Leader Mo Jingsheng, Mo Shiyao. Brother Song Qian directly took orders from Leader Mo, so he had seen Mo Shiyao a few times.
She was quite nice, and since there were spare seats on the plane, she stood up against the opposition, accepted Brother Song Qian’s request, and took the rest of us aboard.
After all, at that time, both Ye Qing and Brother Tao were injured and unconscious. If not for them, even without Xiangcheng’s self-destruction, our death would be certain.”
Jiang Yan’s gaze flickered.
This version differed from what she had heard from Chu Hui and the others.
Moreover, this girl, Mo Shiyao, she had seen her at the sky hotel.
If this person is Mo Jingsheng’s younger sister, then the old man who traded with Xue Dazheng and the others would be their grandfather.
Jiang Yan oddly felt that many things suddenly became intricately interwoven.
She pulled her thoughts together, “And then what happened?”
“After that, we arrived at Flame Base. When Ye Qing woke up and learned about the self-destruction explosion at Xiangcheng Base, thinking you were dead…
And with Brother Tao having been seriously injured to save him, he used himself as a bargaining chip, went to the laboratory to become an experimental subject, and then asked the laboratory to provide equipment to save Brother Tao…”
Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed: Was the real situation really like this?
She always felt that there must be other reasons behind Ye Qing becoming an experimental subject.
“Sister Yaen, all these things sound a bit melodramatic, but they indeed happened… It’s very regrettable…” Kong Wu concluded, sighing silently.
