Chapter 138 To nip the weeds in the bud
After informing Ye Jian, Yu Miaomiao and the other two left the monitoring room and returned to the room they had just been in.
They cleanly cut off the restraints binding Ji Feng, who eagerly opened his eyes: "Why are you here again? Didn't we agree that we wouldn't have to come anymore?"
"Our dungeon is gone, so we've come to you for refuge."
Yu Miaomiao spoke first, and what she said wasn't entirely false, since the underground city they were in had indeed encountered a change.
Ji Feng was speechless for a moment upon hearing this, and an apologetic look flashed in his eyes.
He had lost track of time while being imprisoned here, but he did feel two tremendous shocks.
"I can't help you now. You can see my current situation; I'm just a prisoner."
Ji Feng sat up and stretched his body, which was stiff from being restrained for so long.
But then he saw Yu Miaomiao and Lu An staring at him with strange looks. "What's wrong?"
"You can stand up now?" Lu An asked in surprise, but she clearly saw that when Ji Feng sat up, his legs naturally braced themselves on the floor.
A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Miaomiao's face, but it wasn't that she was surprised that Ji Feng seemed to be able to stand up; rather, she was surprised that he had recovered so quickly.
His spinal nerves were almost completely severed, a condition so severe that it was almost beyond the reach of modern medicine.
Even if Yu Miaomiao knew that the space spring water had certain healing and recovery abilities, it was impossible for it to make a disabled person stand up so quickly.
Ji Feng looked at the leg that was supporting him on the ground, his expression filled with disbelief.
He suddenly stood up, "I really can…" But after only a dozen seconds, his body tilted to one side, like a three-legged chair that he couldn't support no matter how hard he tried.
Lu An immediately stepped forward to help him up, and He Liang emerged from the shadows and pushed the wheelchair over from the wall.
Ji Feng's standing for those ten-odd seconds seemed to have exhausted a lot of his energy; his face was pale and fine beads of sweat were seeping from his forehead.
"Don't rush. Being able to stand up means you're getting better. Take it slow," Yu Miaomiao said softly.
Ji Feng, panting, nodded, his mind churning. He realized that his physical condition had indeed improved remarkably, although he was far from fully recovered.
But this was enough to cheer him up.
His plans may have to change; originally, he didn't intend to survive.
After all, living like a useless person in the apocalypse is worse than dying with dignity sooner.
The only thing she was worried about was Ji Mu. He Qing promised him that as long as he cooperated with the research, she would take good care of Xiao Mu.
"Ji Feng, do you know that Ji Mu has been locked up?" Yu Miaomiao saw that Ji Feng seemed to be deep in thought. She felt that Ji Feng's fighting spirit was very low and he seemed to be close to giving up on living. It was necessary to remind him.
"What? Why? Is he alright?"
"It's nothing, just being locked up, chained up like a dog... Can you please explain to us what kind of shady business your weapons factory is doing?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Feng's face darkened. "Those experiments were to enhance human physique. I was searching for ways to combat the apocalypse. I admit that these studies might be extreme, but I never intended to harm anyone. I only conducted experiments on some animals, but..."
"So, it wasn't you who used the experiments on ordinary people, was it?" There are still two victims in Yu Miaomiao's space, and those mercenaries outside also seem to be their guinea pigs.
She finally found out who was behind all of this.
"This is not the time to talk about these things. We need to rescue Xiao Mu and get out of here as soon as possible."
"There are still some things I haven't taken, I have to go there."
"You still want to continue those harmful experiments?" Yu Miaomiao didn't understand the person in front of her. If he insisted, she would have no choice but to knock him out and take him away.
"No, it's not what you think. The experiments themselves weren't wrong, they were just used in the wrong place. And those weapons, they absolutely cannot be left here to benefit He Qing and He Chuan."
"That's true. You point the way, and we'll hurry up." Lu An pushed Ji Feng's wheelchair, while He Liang activated his Shadow Cloak.
With the living map, we sped along and arrived at the weapons workshop, where weapons were still being manufactured in full swing.
Many researchers in white coats walked around, creating a lively yet tense atmosphere. They continuously adjusted the instrument data, and one after another, brand-new, powerful weapons were sent out of the instrument's conveyor belt.
"Are they beyond saving?" Ji Feng looked at his colleagues with whom he had worked and lived day and night, feeling pained and powerless.
"Big brother, you can't have it all, you can't have it both ways. You're not a savior, you don't have to bear the responsibility of saving the world." Yu Miaomiao was really tired. She felt that she was too soft-hearted and should knock this sentimental blond man unconscious. He was just making things worse.
"Take what you need, quickly."
"I want them all. Is that alright?" Ji Feng also put away his pity and became serious.
"Okay." Yu Miaomiao bypassed the weapons manufacturing room in front and went directly into the storage room at the back. There was hardly anyone on duty here. They probably thought no one would bypass so many people and swagger into such a deep room.
But now, with He Liang, it couldn't be easier.
She waved her hand and took away all the weapons inventory.
After they had gone around collecting supplies and experimental data, they finally returned to Ji Mu's room, only to find Ji Mu already fast asleep on the floor.
There's no need to worry about that now. Just send Ji Mu into the space, leaving only an empty iron chain and a black eye mask in the room.
Through the secret passage, you can go straight to the core of the weapons factory. This is the only way to escape or to go deeper into the factory, and it is also the place where Yu Miaomiao last saw Ni Chongyang on the monitor.
She didn't want to leave herself any worries, and before she discovered anything, she had to deliver a fatal blow to this villain.
Yu Miaomiao gripped the Tang sword tightly, her eyes cold. She knew she had been careless last time, and this time she had to eliminate the threat completely. Dealing with a ruthless character like Ni Chongyang, any hesitation or laziness would lead to irreversible consequences.
No one can affect her ultimate wish to live a peaceful life in this lifetime, so she's dealing with her troubles now because she doesn't want to live a life of fear.
After passing through the main hall, Yu Miaomiao did not see Ni Chongyang. However, the place did not seem to be very soundproof, and she could vaguely hear some arguing. It seemed that he was not far away. Yu Miaomiao released her spiritual power to investigate and quickly located a room.
Inside the meeting room, Ni Chongyang and several others were engaged in a heated discussion, seemingly planning the next steps in their experiments and deployment of actions against the current resistance fighters within the factory.
