(54) Lady Liu's Secret Inspection in Disguise

The detector is designed like a wristwatch and is the latest high-tech device developed by the Ji Family Base. It can not only detect toxins in food but also serve as identification within the base.

As for why they need to test rather than simply dig up wild vegetables or pick fruit and eat them directly, it’s because the radiation after the earthquake has grown progressively stronger, and the pollution heavier, causing widespread mutations among plants and animals.

Some plants have mutated towards aggression, while others have become increasingly toxic.

Han Daoyue and her companions had been suspended for five years, which meant they certainly hadn’t bathed. Qiao Jun felt fortunate that he had taught cultivation techniques to Han Daoyue, Lin Qingcheng, and Mu Lanlan, allowing them to practice. Otherwise, not to mention five years—even a month would have been unbearable for them.

Moreover, Wang Feng had gone out specifically to look for this medicinal brew for her. It was a gesture of goodwill that couldn’t be wasted; she drank it all in a single gulp. Her impression of Wang Feng improved greatly—this was what a true doctor should be like. Even though she had spoken coldly to him earlier, he hadn’t minded and still prepared medicine for her.

Gu Zixin shook the water droplets off her face, wiped herself roughly with a towel, put on her clothes, and stared at Maodou’s white coat for a long time. Finally, she folded it and placed it in her bag, walking out slowly.

Sun Yueran glared hatefully at Li Nanmu. If looks could kill, she would have murdered him a thousand times over for ruining the mood.

Qiao Jun swept his gaze across everyone and began, “Now that everyone is here, let’s begin the meeting.”

On either side of the road stood tall plane trees. The car moved slowly under the dense canopy. Streetlights were spaced every few meters, casting alternating shadows and light. The contours of the man’s face shifted between gentle and sharp in the shifting illumination.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ve come downstairs. They don’t know I’m calling you,” Wei Du’s voice came through, cold like a winter night.

“I am a beast general. You killed my battle general—you must die!” The icy voice echoed again, accompanied by a massive burst of lightning charging toward Su Wanchen.

Diao Biqing was already disoriented from a serious injury sustained in one move. The agonizing pain in her wrist made it impossible to resist the ferocious suction. Her true energy surged out like a fountain.

The other guards who had been following behind quickly stepped forward, surrounding Jiang Yunqing and her attendants.

“My wife ate too much today—is that healthy?” “Alright, I was wrong. She didn’t eat much.” The second message was clearly sent after being scolded.

After all, they weren’t sure if the beast tide in the Dwarf Demon Forest was truly over. Staying here felt safer, and they could tend to their wounds as well.

“What a treacherous place!” Ah Sheng exclaimed. This must be the wisdom of the times. If they hadn’t launched a nighttime assault, uprooting a local tyrant like the Ta Clan would not have been easy.

Yu You hardly dared to move. She tilted her head slightly, breaking eye contact with the man, her right hand pressed between them to maintain a safe distance.

A person who wants to return home in the best possible state, no matter how astonishing the changes, deserves respect.

“Please add the word ‘encountered’ before ‘read’. Encountered, thank you,” Li Jiayu said, leading him outside.

Luo Tianhuan summed up two points: first, the Valkyrie Laboratory needed a testing ground for the virus; second, everything was pre-set by the system—new players must level up, and their targets often begin with ordinary zombies.

Later, she saw Duan Weiqi post in his social circle, “Today is truly a day worth celebrating,” which made her even happier. Only she knew he was waiting for her to return.

“You’re back?” Zhang Xiao, munching on duck neck and watching a movie in the living room, heard movement at the door and went out to take a look.
