Chapter 16: My name is Leinstito, you can…

    Chapter 16 My name is Leinstito, you can…

    “Officer Chu!”

    Xiang Li shouted when he saw Chu Qi’s figure from afar, his breathing was rapid, as if he had rushed over, looking like he was worried about Chu Qi.

    But before he reached Chu Qi, Xiang Li stopped three meters away from Chu Qi.

    He frowned, his eyes looking up and down at the person standing next to Chu Qi, a person… in a white coat.

    Not a medical worker.

    … someone from the laboratory.

    Thinking this, Xiang Li’s eyes deepened, thoughtful.

    The man had his hands in the pockets of his white coat, which seemed no different from a doctor’s white coat, but he had metal rings on his wrists and neck.

    That was a “guarantee” that all experimental personnel were required to wear to prevent accidents during experiments.

    The so-called guarantee actually meant that in the event of an accident that infected the experimental personnel, the wrist and neck rings could explode immediately to prevent unnecessary pollution from spreading.

    More than that, it was to prevent the leakage of experimental data when the experimental personnel were threatened.

    The experimental personnel checked Chu Qi for a while, and the smile on his face made Xiang Li feel a little dazzling.

    Not only the smile, but the whole person made Xiang Li feel dazzling.

    The other party also noticed Xiang Li, turned his head and gave Chu Qi a look.

    Chu Qi also turned his head, saw Xiang Li, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

    The latter stood still, so Chu Qi walked over by himself, along with the experimental personnel beside him.

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Chu Qi scanned Xiang Li up and down. He was covered in blood, and his white combat suit was dyed black and red. The color was so deep that he probably couldn’t wear it anymore.

    Chu Qi roughly observed that he should not be injured, but to be safe, he still asked, “Are you injured?”

    Xiang Li shook his head: “No, Officer Chu, who is this?”

    Xiang Li took the initiative to ask about the experimental personnel next to Chu Qi. Before Chu Qi could speak, the other party introduced himself.

    “My name is Leinstito, you can call me Professor Lai.”

    “Professor Lai…” Xiang Li murmured, remembering that Sang Quan Shi Li had mentioned it before.

    “Hello.” Xiang Li greeted, but did not take the initiative to introduce himself.

    Fortunately, someone called Professor Lai over at this time, and he nodded apologetically to Chu Qi and the two of them.

    After Professor Lai walked away, Chu Qi tilted his head slightly and asked the person next to him, “What’s wrong? Why didn’t you come over just now?”

    He noticed that Xiang Li seemed to mind Professor Lai a little. Recalling that Xiang Li had once gone to see Yan Zhou Ping because Sang Quan mentioned Professor Lai, he looked at Xiang Li’s face without showing any signs.

    There was no emotion on Xiang Li’s face, not flustered at all: “You seemed to be talking about something just now, I was embarrassed to disturb you.”

    Speaking of this, Chu Qi seemed to think of something, and his eyes turned to Professor Lai. The other party was called to a Polluted Entity and was talking to the people next to him, occasionally pressing his fingers on the skin of the Polluted Entity and pressing down slightly.

    “Oh, we were just talking about the management transporting equipment by air. Tomorrow, everyone will have to undergo blood and Spiritual Power sampling.”

    Chu Qi: “To prevent students or examiners from being at risk of being contaminated by the virus.”

    While he was talking, he observed Xiang Li’s expression out of the corner of his eye.

    “Do you have any objections?”

    Xiang Li’s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn’t care at all: “No.”

    “Aren’t you afraid of pain?” Chu Qi joked, but his eyes were full of scrutiny, not letting go of any expression change on Xiang Li.

    “There’s no other way.” Xiang Li shrugged, looking helpless.

    “If I could, I wouldn’t want to draw blood.”

    After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Chu Qi. Chu Qi quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Professor Lai in the distance as if nothing had happened.

    Chu Qi said: “Before the results come out, we can’t go back to the base. Temporary housing has already been built. Thank you for today.”

    “It’s okay, it’s also to save ourselves.”

    Xiang Li’s eyes followed Chu Qi’s gaze to Professor Lai, his eyes were dark, and he pursed his lips a little dryly.

    Night.

    Xiang Li lay on the bed, quietly looking at the top of the tent. It was very quiet around, and no sound could be heard. Suddenly, his eyes were dead silent, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

    “Professor Lai, Chu Qi…” he murmured.

    Although the voice was very small, Chu Qi outside the door heard it clearly.

    He had called “Xiang Li” several times, but the person inside seemed not to hear him. Chu Qi thought he was asleep, but after a while, he suddenly heard something that he couldn’t hear very clearly.

    Chu Qi pursed his lips silently and closed his eyes.

    He didn’t pay attention to the first sentence Xiang Li said, and when he listened again, he only heard the sound of Xiang Li calling his name.

    He thought that Xiang Li might also have some unspeakable secrets. But as a Colonel of the Empire, reason told him not to let his emotions control the facts.

    The next day.

    The Ke brothers habitually came to find Xiang Li, but met Chu Qi, who also came to find Xiang Li, at the door.

    “Colonel?”

    “Is the Colonel also here to call Xiang Li to get up?”

    Chu Qi nodded lightly and greeted them.

    “The sampling is about to start, I’m here to call him.”

    “Oh, okay, we…”

    Swish—

    The curtain of the tent was suddenly pulled open by Xiang Li with a pale face.

    He stared at the front with a stinky face, his eyelids drooping as if he hadn’t woken up, closing half of his eyes, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow.

    He stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling, and his entire arm was suspended in the air.

    “Xiang Li?”

    The three of them couldn’t figure out what Xiang Li was doing. Their eyes fell on him, and Ke Shi Zhuo asked in confusion.

    Xiang Li turned his head to look in his direction.

    “My foot is numb, help me.”

    “Oh, oh.” Ke Man was close to him, and when he heard him say this, he immediately raised his hand to hold his hand, and kindly pulled him up.

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Ke Shi Zhuo was behind him, wanting to walk two steps faster to support the other side of Xiang Li, but Chu Qi took the lead in supporting Xiang Li’s arm.

    “Let me do it.”

    Xiang Li stiffened for a moment when he heard Chu Qi’s voice. He didn’t look at Chu Qi, but instead pulled his arm out of Chu Qi’s hand with force.

    “One person can help me, Officer Chu, I’ll be fine after a while.”

    Chu Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the arm that broke free from his hand, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

    But he didn’t insist, just took out a few number plates from his pocket and handed them to them.

    Chu Qi: “Number plates.”

    Xiang Li didn’t take it. He lowered his hand and made a fist and hammered his leg. Ke Shi Zhuo, who was empty-handed next to him, immediately stepped forward and took the plate.

    Ke Shi Zhuo: “Thank you, Colonel!”

    Chu Qi nodded, glanced at Xiang Li’s hand that was slightly hammering his leg, and nodded.

    “I’ll go first, take your time.”

    “Colonel Chu, take your time too!” Ke Shi Zhuo said.

    After Chu Qi left, Ke Man asked Xiang Li, who was being carried in his hand.

    “What’s going on? Why did your leg suddenly go numb?”

    Xiang Li stood up straight at this moment and turned his body left and right twice, without any sign of numbness in his feet.

    Ke Man was not gentle with his hands and feet, and his arm hurt from being strangled by him.

    But he still said: “I slept, I pressed my leg all night.”

    “Brother, do you think someone among us has already been infected?”

    Ke Shi Zhuo stared at the three number plates in his hand, looking at the front and then the back, feeling blocked in his heart and a little uncomfortable.

    Most of the people here were battle partners who had been together for more than a month. Even if they didn’t know each other, he didn’t want anyone to be infected.

    The way Polluted Entities are infected has not been clarified yet. Some people say it is through blood infection, and some people say it is through air infection, but Colonel Chu and the others were injured in the battle with the Polluted Entities before, and there were no signs of infection.

    “I don’t know, maybe there are, maybe there aren’t, maybe we have already been infected.”

    Ke Man let out a breath, freed a hand and rubbed the top of his brother’s head, his tone relaxed.

    His younger brother was dissatisfied, slapped off the offending hand, and glared at his brother, his hairstyle was messed up.

    “You’re still as annoying as you were when you were little.”

    “I’m annoying?”

    Ke Man chuckled lightly, holding Xiang Li with one hand and putting his arm around Ke Shi Zhuo’s neck with the other. He used his strength to pull the brother who said he was “annoying” over and pressed him.

    Xiang Li didn’t know what they were doing. He only felt that the force pulling him was pulling him to the side, and he was caught off guard and took him over as well.

    So the three of them fell down together.

    Struggling but being pressed at the bottom, the meat pad (crossed out) Ke Shi Zhuo: “…”

    You are really annoying, brother!

    The sampling went smoothly. Everyone was well-behaved and quite cooperative, especially a certain person.

    Chu Qi watched from the dark as a certain person moved a small stool and sat down after taking blood and Spiritual Power.

    His perspective was facing the back of a certain person. The white combat uniform was replaced by black, making the back look thinner.

    He was just sitting there. Chu Qi was a little far away from him. Looking from a distance, he was a small ball. Ke Man and Ke Shi Zhuo had not been checked out yet, so they should be waiting for them.

    Chu Qi pressed his eyebrows. A cup of hot chocolate in his hand quietly warmed his palm. After holding it for a long time, he felt a little hot again.

    He took a sip and put the cup on the table. While he was staring at Chu Qi, there were three people behind him who were also staring at him, communicating silently with their mouths.

    Shen Gui winked: “What is he doing?”

    Xing Zi Mu said blankly: “Looking at the scenery.”

    Shen Gui grinned: “Bullshit!”

    Sang Quan Shi Li: “Shut up, it’s my turn to speak!”

    “…”

    When Ke Man and Ke Shi Zhuo came out, they looked at Xiang Li sitting there, and the two looked at each other, with tacit understanding on their faces.

    The two of them were light-handed in the same style, and suddenly pounced on them, wanting to scare Xiang Li, and accidents would happen if they didn’t expect it.

    Chu Qi watched through the window as a certain person, who was originally a small ball, grabbed a black stick in his hand the moment the two “troublemakers” pounced on him.

    The corner of Chu Qi’s eyes twitched, it looked quite painful.

    “No, I rely on, Xiang Li!”

    “Can you see clearly who the person is before you start? Can’t you take back your strength when you see it’s us?”

    Xiang Li rubbed his nose: “Why did you attack?”

    “Next time, remember to look at the face of the person being beaten before you hit someone, what if you accidentally hurt someone! It’s a good thing it’s just the two of us this time, we won’t bother with you.”

    The two brothers kept silent about why, Ke Man earnestly tried to play the emotional card and changed the subject.

    “…Heh.” Xiang Li was full of sarcasm.

    “These three people are quite interesting.” Shen Gui said.

    The remaining three people in the room all looked at him. Shen Gui shrugged: “Don’t you think the three of them are like us back then?”

    Three people: “…Heh.”

    Because this involved the new students of the military academy, the management immediately ordered the medical base’s equipment to be sent over overnight.

    Ke Man and Ke Shi Zhuo didn’t know when they also moved a small stool and sat next to Xiang Li. The three of them faced each other and formed a stable triangle.

    People passing by stopped and looked at the three low heads with tacit understanding, their eyes naturally glancing down at the ground between the three of them.

    What are you looking at?

    Chu Qi sat in the room, with a pile of documents piled up beside him. Many model data were projected on the virtual blue light panel.

    He processed the documents, and from time to time he raised his head and looked at the three backs sitting not far away through the glass. It was a little magical that they could sit there without moving.

    The communicator on his wrist flashed twice, and a message notification sounded.

    Chu Qi looked down and checked, it was Lin Wu’s.

    [Chu Qi, the blood report of the C079 child is out.]
