The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Chapter 117 The willful childhood sweetheart who abandons her childhood boyfriend (31)

Before the two had even left, Chang Ning turned around and saw that Professor Han had already shakily stood up from the ground.

He didn't look at them, but walked to the workbench, took out a test tube, stared at it for a moment, and then let go, and the test tube fell vertically downwards.

In the blink of an eye, Chang Ning had no time to think. The instant he let go, he lunged towards that side!

She just instinctively felt that the thing was very important!

Time seemed to slow down. Chang Ning could clearly see how the test tube moved downwards in the air. However, she was about two meters away from Professor Han. Even though she fell heavily to the ground, her outstretched hand was still more than ten centimeters away from the test tube!

Just as the test tube was about to fall to the floor, Chang Ning's pupils dilated. Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the side, and in the blink of an eye, a black thing reached out and snatched the test tube away.

Chang Ning stared blankly in that direction and saw that the item was already in Cheng Zhenkai's hands.

He casually stuffed it into his pocket, quickly came over and picked her up from the ground, then felt her over to check her: "Does it hurt? Where did you fall? Are you stupid? Why did you fall on the ground like that!"

Chang Ning hadn't reacted yet, "Cheng Zhenkai, what was that just now?"

It's so fast and so big!

"What? What? Didn't they say things were in chaos outside? Let's go!"

"I clearly saw it just now..."

"You're seeing things!"

Cheng Zhenkai interrupted her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and carried her outside. Before they even reached the door, a large group of people walked in, and one of them, Chang Jianian, was walking in at the front. "Dad!"

Chang Jianian rushed over, "Ningning, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Chang Ning, still being held by Cheng Zhenkai, shifted a couple of times and whispered, "Put me down!"

Chang Jianian also noticed their outfit and asked, "Who is this?"

Cheng Zhenkai coughed lightly, put Chang Ning down, straightened his back, and called out, "Dad!"

"I am Chang Ning's husband, Cheng Zhenkai. I used to visit your house when I was little! Do you remember me?"

The sound was incredibly loud.

Chang Jianian was a little confused. "Oh, you're Xiao Cheng."

"Dad, it's me!"

Chang Jianian: "..."

The group of people who had been rushing by paused for a moment, then quickly interrupted, "Professor Chang, let's go in first!"

Chang Jianian only said one sentence: "Wait here for me for a while."

Cheng Zhenkai answered loudly, "Okay, Dad!"

A large group of people rushed into the third laboratory.

Chang Ning had already silently turned her back to him, but Cheng Zhenkai turned her back again: "Why are you hiding?"

Chang Ning covered her face with one hand: "I feel so ashamed of my husband!"

Cheng Zhenkai was caught between a smile and anger. Finally, he pulled down her hand that was covering her face and bit her hard on the lips: "Even if it's embarrassing, I'm still your husband, sweetie, say it again!"

While the two were still cuddling, a group of people came out from inside. Seeing the young couple kissing so passionately, they all coughed. Chang Ning quickly pinched his waist with her hand inside his clothes. Cheng Zhenkai hissed, pulled Chang Ning into his arms, looked up, called out "Dad" first, and then nodded to the crowd.

"Ahem, Xiao Cheng," Chang Jianian didn't have time to settle scores with his overly familiar son-in-law at this moment, "Were you injected with anything by Professor Han in the lab just now?"

Cheng Zhenkai said no.

Someone nearby couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Really not?"

"Really, no," Cheng Zhenkai asked. "Dad, what's wrong?"

"That's terrible. Professor Han just threw away all the ingredients."

Chang Jianian said, "Without raw materials, it would be difficult for us to solve the problem of abnormal evolution."

"Can't we go look for more?"

“No, that’s all,” Chang Jianian said. “Do you remember the snake you brought back? The main components were extracted from that snake.”

"It should be the source of the mutation."

Professor Han is an expert in this field. He was in charge of all the related experiments and controlled all the related resources. Who would have thought that something like this would happen!

Cheng Zhenkai simply said "Oh," indicating that there was nothing he could do about it.

Chang Ning was too embarrassed to be seen while burying herself in his arms, so she secretly pinched him and patted his pocket. Cheng Zhenkai understood and took out the test tube: "Dad, this is something we just managed to save temporarily. Please see if it's useful."

Chang Jianian took it; there was only about 5 milliliters inside. The liquid was purplish-red, and after a slight shake, it changed color. The gloom on the person next to him vanished instantly. "Is this it?"

Yes, there's no mistake!

Chang Jianian's face also lit up with joy: "Xiao Cheng, you did a great job! These last 5 milliliters are crucial for us!"

Cheng Zhenkai said, "Dad, this is all thanks to your daughter. If she hadn't noticed it first, this thing would have broken on the ground long ago!"

Chang Jianian laughed genuinely: "Ningning has been very smart since she was little."

"Alright, we have other things to do. You guys go to the family quarters first."

The base later issued a statement saying that the accident was intentional on Professor Han's part. His research focused on how to allow ordinary people to evolve normally, that is, to mutate gently without disrupting the stability of their genes.

This research has yielded significant results, but Professor Han added ingredients that cause gene breakdown and made it into a powder.

He didn't need to personally apply the medicine to every place; he only needed to randomly sprinkle it on a few base staff members, and six hours later, they could spread the toxic powder to every corner of the base.

This man-made accident caused significant damage to the base. Many researchers suffered genetic collapse during the mutation process; some were better off losing their minds and growing all sorts of strange parts, while others died directly from mutual attacks.

All the mutants were placed under strict guard, and those who had previously escaped were all captured.

The good news is that they managed to salvage the most important ingredient. Professor Han's research results are in the lab, and they can directly synthesize a formula that promotes mild mutations in normal humans.

It's understandable that he didn't destroy the research results, but why he didn't destroy all the components until the very end is unknown.

Once the radiation has subsided, it's actually quite simple for the state apparatus to restore normal social order.

No matter how tough a zombie's body is, it can't withstand the power of firearms.

The difficulty lies in how to deal with the 60% of the population that has already turned into zombies.

When the catastrophe first occurred, the base was researching how to turn the zombies back into normal people, but they later discovered that this was a dead end. It was the authority of the creator, and human technology was completely incapable of achieving it.

In the second phase, the research direction gradually shifted to mild alienation.

With the source material extracted from the snake's body, this direction became much easier.

Three months later, countries around the world reached an agreement on how to deal with the zombified population, and all zombies would be humanely exterminated over the next nine to eighteen months.

Only a small fraction of the zombies survived, and they will live permanently in the zombie nature reserves established by humans.

The four-person group that escaped the apocalypse consisted of Chang Ning, Cheng Zhenkai, Zhao Chenyang, and Li Tianxu. Zhao Chenyang was lucky enough to survive the laboratory incident, while Li Tianxu, who was not in the same group, was not affected at all. However, he was waiting for the country to distribute a mild mutation drug.

This drug will cause genes to choose the appropriate direction of mutation based on individual circumstances.

Changning is the eye, some people are the hearing, and I've heard that some people can even grow a tail.

This remains a profound research topic for humanity.

The four visited a zombie nature reserve, where the people inside were someone's friends or family.

Zhao Chenyang suddenly brought up a topic: "Seventy thousand years ago, when the ancestors of mankind had just stepped onto the stage of history, there were three main types of people: Homo sapiens, Neanderthals, and Homo erectus."

"According to the replacement theory, the physiological structures of each human species are not the same. In order to compete for favorable living space and to reproduce as much as possible, our ancestors Homo sapiens successively slaughtered Neanderthals and Homo erectus, completely destroying their genes."

"Look at the present: zombies, normal people, mutants. Normal people destroyed the zombies and then evolved themselves into mutants. History really does repeat itself."

After the visit, Zhao Chenyang and Li Tianxu returned to work at the base. The university was still under reconstruction, while Chang Ning and Cheng Zhenkai drove around traveling.

Today they parked their car at the edge of the desert. Chang Ning sat on the hood of the car, and Cheng Zhenkai stood in front of her.

Chang Ning wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "Cheng Zhenkai, just tell me, what exactly has changed about you? Otherwise, I really won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"Do you want me to record this? You sleep like a log every night!"

"That's all your fault!"

Who can stand high-intensity pre-sleep exercise every day?!

Chang Ning bit his ear: "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Cheng Zhenkai held her waist, his eyes narrowing at the touch on her ear: "How about this, you promise me you'll try it in the desert tonight, and I'll tell you what to do?"

Chang Ning bit him hard: "No, it'll be cold!"

"No, I promise!" Cheng Zhenkai's voice trailed off. "You'll see why then, my wife."

-

Chang Ning returned to the Heavenly Dao Space. Ever since she cursed it through the Heavenly Dao message machine last time, the Heavenly Dao consciousness has completely ignored her.

He always gives her random, random things to fob her off.

The good news is that her soul is becoming more and more stable, and if this continues, it will be only a matter of time before she can rebuild her physical body.

This time it's different. The miniature version of the Heavenly Dao Pagoda figurine is gone from the space, but there's a little fox figurine, which is obviously her prototype.

Chang Ning couldn't understand what was going on with the Heavenly Dao.

Has he gone mad?
