The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Watching the bespectacled young man leave, the old man couldn't help but sit on the ground, muttering, "It's over, everything is over—"

Others might think that taking the replicated new drug would grant them abilities beyond everyone's comprehension, which would be a great thing for them, but they don't know that it is actually a death warrant.

Taking the replicated new drug puts one in a life-or-death situation, and this is merely a necessary procedure to test the final effects of the new drug.

If his subordinates became guinea pigs for the replicated new drug, it was tantamount to sending them to hell.

Because all the experimental subjects could not escape one word—death.

The bespectacled young man who came out from the old man's side seemed to have thought of something, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

If a talented person cannot be used by him, he will be satisfied even if it means ruining them. He will not be content until he has them firmly in his grasp.

The next day.

Jiang Yuyan had just finished breakfast with Master Qi, and before they could even talk about other things at the South Base, Master Qi's assistant hurriedly came over and called him away.

Before leaving, Master Qi instructed her, "Don't wander off, and always take someone with you when you go out—"

Jiang Yuyan interrupted his rambling helplessly, "Master, you've told me this hundreds of times. I'm not stupid. Besides, didn't I say that the South Base is very safe? I can go out on my own as long as I don't leave the base?"

Master Qi opened his mouth, as if to say something.

Seeing through his thoughts, Jiang Yuyan interrupted him first, "Master, I have already confirmed this with Brother Wenchen, you can't fool me."

Master Qi was extremely dissatisfied with Ling Wenchen at this moment. "Alright, then take care of yourself. If anything happens, come find me. Although I'm an old man, I can still protect you."

The assistant following behind him muttered to himself,

Mr. Qi, you are too modest. With your status and position, you could protect more than a dozen Jiang Yuyans.

After seeing them off, Jiang Yuyan breathed a small sigh of relief.

There is a kind of love where if your master thinks you are weak, then you are weak.

After getting ready, Jiang Yuyan went out. She planned to walk around and see the differences between the South and East bases.

I'll go see Ling Wenchen later.

Ling Wenchen: I didn't expect that I was just doing this on the side.

Walking onto the deserted dirt road, Jiang Yuyan looked around. It was all bare, nothing but yellow earth.

I don't know if it's because everyone's at work now, or if this is a dormitory area and there are naturally few people here.

Jiang Yuyan hadn't encountered a single person after walking for so long.

Just as I was thinking this, I accidentally bumped into someone, knocking their glasses off with a crisp crack, signaling to everyone present that they were ruined.

"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Are you alright, comrade?"

Jiang Yuyan quickly helped the man who had fallen to his feet, noticing that he was groping around on the ground for something.

His glasses, which should have been on his face, were lying not far away, and he kept touching them, squinting as if he was so nearsighted that he couldn't see anything without his glasses.

Jiang Yuyan quickly picked up his glasses and placed them in his hands. "Are these the glasses you were looking for?"

The young man put on his glasses, and his squinty eyes instantly made out the person in front of him.

Seeing the apologetic look on her face, he waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright, it's alright. I didn't see anyone in front of me. I'm sorry I bumped into you. Are you alright, comrade? I thought there were no people on this road—"

Jiang Yuyan's shoulder throbbed slightly, but she could still bear the pain.

"I'm fine too, comrade. I'm glad you're alright. I won't bother you any longer, I'll go now—"

The young man called out to her, "Comrade, are you new to our base and don't know where you are? Would you like me to be your guide and show you around the base?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't want to trouble others, and just as she was about to refuse his kindness,

The young man seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "It's alright. It's our duty to introduce the base to new comrades, in case they wander into places they shouldn't."

"This is my first time being a guide, and I don't know if I can do it well. I wonder if you could give me a chance?"

Since he had said that, Jiang Yuyan couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement.

Having someone as a guide is much more effective than letting her wander around aimlessly on her own.

In an hour, the bespectacled young man led Jiang Yuyan to almost half of the South District base. There was still most of the area left, and they agreed to go again tomorrow.

Jiang Yuyan was initially a little embarrassed to take up his time and was about to invite him to dinner when he smiled apologetically.

"I have to go now. We'll treat you to this meal next time. Don't worry, I'll make sure you treat me to this one too."

After saying something cryptic, the bespectacled young man left without looking back.

Jiang Yuyan tilted her head, looking completely bewildered. Although she couldn't understand his words, she sensed a slight sense of unease.

If I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it.

Jiang Yuyan is now planning to go to the cafeteria to get food, and also get one for Ling Wenchen, since he is currently a patient.

We arrived at the inpatient ward of the makeshift clinic.

As soon as Jiang Yuyan arrived at Ling Wenchen's ward, before she even went inside, she heard a delicate, sweet woman's voice coming from inside.

"Brother Ling, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the South District base? If I hadn't seen your name on the hospital admission list, I would have thought I was seeing things."

Jiang Yuyan paused as she went inside, gripping the lunchbox tightly, remaining motionless and listening quietly to Ling Wenchen's reply.

"Liao Si, if you say such disgusting things to me again, I'll jump up right now and smash your mouth in." Ling Wenchen was speechless.

Liao Si is definitely a rare and unique individual in this era.

For no other reason than that he was born a man but liked to wear women's clothes and speak in a woman's voice.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the only son of his generation, the Liao family would have kicked him out of the house long ago when he revealed his liking for wearing women's clothing.

Whenever they think of the woman in the dress, with a face painted like a monkey's bottom, talking to the two elders of the Liao family, they feel an eyesore.

Jiang Yuyan almost fell to the ground. What was this?!

Peeking into the ward, he saw a tall "woman" in a brightly colored dress standing in front of Ling Wenchen's bed.

Hearing his heartless words, Liao Si covered her face and sobbed, extending her lotus-like fingers.

"Brother Ling, I never thought you were such a heartless person. Have you forgotten what you said to me by the river that night?"

Ling Wenchen hardened his fists, gritting his teeth.

"Liao Si, very well, you think I'm heartless? Come here, I'll show you just how 'affectionate' I can be towards you."

Liao Si paused in covering his face.

Without even thinking, she refused, "Fine, since Brother Ling doesn't want to see me, I'll just leave and not bother you—"

Unable to bear it any longer, Ling Wenchen jumped up and punched his friend, who was so offensive that even a glance at him was an eyesore.

"ah--"

"Don't pull my skirt, I finally managed to buy it—"

"Waaaah, Ling Wenchen, you heartless, ungrateful jerk, you clueless, unromantic man—"

"Pfft~"

A soft chuckle could be clearly heard amidst the noise, causing the two people in the ward to pause.

The next second their gaze turned to the doorway, and they only had time to catch a glimpse of a small, dark head that had shrunk back inside.

Liao Si, with her sharp eyes, chuckled sweetly, "Oh, so that's why you don't like me much. Turns out you've forgotten the old one for the new one. Ha, men!"
