Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

This was what Jiang Ye guessed, so she was not surprised.

But Jiang Ye was indeed a little embarrassed by Mu Qiuhua's gentle and intimate tone: "...My name is Jiang Ye, Jiang as in Jiang Taigong, and Ye as in fallen leaves."

Mu Qiuhua praised: "It's a very nice name."

“……”There’s no need to force the compliment so much.

Although Jiang Ye didn't say anything, her expression betrayed all her emotions.

Mu Qiuhua added in a gentle voice: "There is also a medicine in traditional Chinese medicine called 'ginger leaf', which warms the lungs and liver, strengthens the spleen and stomach, removes blood stasis and activates blood circulation. It is a very good medicinal material."

Jiang Ye was stunned, then he remembered that the woman in front of him seemed to be an expert in traditional Chinese medicine.

She smiled without any emotion and accepted the compliment: "Thank you."

"So what are you doing here?" Mu Qiuhua asked again.

"It's Luan Ning. He's been looking for you."

Jiang Ye pushed Luan Ning out first, and Mu Qiuhua was stunned.

"I discovered an underground building here a few days ago, so I came to take a look tonight, but I didn't expect to actually meet you."

Mu Qiuhua saw that she was hiding something, but did not pursue it. He only said with a little disappointment: "It turns out that it is late at night now."

Jiang Ye was a little confused after hearing this. She tilted her head and looked at Mu Qiuhua in confusion.

"We've been locked up here for too long." Mu Qiuhua smiled gently, "The lights here are on all day, and there's no time reference. Our days have become a bit chaotic..."

Jiang Ye was silent.

No wonder Mu Qiuhua was teaching these people when she came in...

"Since you've seen it, you'd better leave quickly." Mu Qiuhua reminded her when he saw that she was distracted.

Jiang Ye paused and said, "Auntie, I have to bring back some useful information on this trip."

Mu Qiuhua was slightly startled, then smiled: "Child, are you bringing this news for Luan Ning or for yourself?"

Jiang Ye's eyebrows moved slightly: "Is there any difference?"

"If it's for Luan Ning, you can go back now. And please don't tell him that you saw me." Mu Qiuhua still smiled gently.

Jiang Ye frowned and repeated, "He has been looking for you."

"Then let him keep looking." Mu Qiuhua sighed inaudibly, "It's good to have hope when you are alive."

Jiang Ye frowned slightly and asked, "What if this news is for me?"

Mu Qiuhua: "Well... although it's a bit rude, I still hope that after you go out, you will do your best to prevent others from approaching Haishi, and be careful of Wan Zhiming."

Jiang Ye was slightly surprised: "What about you? You don't seem to be planning to go out."

Mu Qiuhua paused and sighed, "You can see that this is a dangerous place deep underground, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if someone wants to rescue us, they will most likely return empty-handed after all their efforts."

"It may be possible." Jiang Ye pointed at himself, "Didn't I come in?"

Mu Qiuhua smiled and did not argue with her, but said: "Miss Jiang, your ability is extraordinary, but you should never enter this tiger and wolf den again."

Seeing that she had been avoiding talking about what happened here, Jiang Ye frowned slightly and could only offer a dirty trick: "Auntie, you are afraid of implicating others, so you are willing to be imprisoned here for life. What about them?"

Mu Qiuhua's face turned pale.

Jiang Ye pointed at a group of children nearby who were getting nervous because of Mu Qiuhua's change in expression: "None of them is very old. The little girl in white clothes looks only five or six years old. She still has a long life to live.

"But they don't see the sun here, and they don't know the time. If this continues for a long time, they will even lack basic social education... Auntie, can you bear it?"

Mu Qiuhua closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, unable to hide his sorrow.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Ye, with some helplessness in her eyes: "You are very perceptive."

Jiang Ye said nothing.

"I really can't bear to see them grow up here." Mu Qiuhua said in a low voice, "So I tried my best to teach them to speak and read, to teach them to distinguish between good and evil, and to teach them to be self-reliant and never give up...

"But this is a bottomless abyss. Even if someone is willing to spend manpower and resources to rescue us, we won't be able to survive for more than half a day."

Jiang Ye frowned: "Why?"

"Radiation." Mu Qiuhua pointed to the surrounding walls. "The walls here are made of special materials that can remove the radiation in our bodies at any time. Once we leave here, we will die from excessive radiation in less than half a day, and it will also endanger the people around us."

Jiang Ye didn't understand: "Won't the radiation in the body of a superpower person tend to disappear as the superpower is activated?"

"That's true under normal circumstances. But those researchers have discovered that if people with special abilities are regularly injected with potions containing a certain amount of radiation, there is a certain probability that their abilities will evolve again." Mu Qiuhua smiled bitterly.

Jiang Ye's face was slightly cold: "Mad."

Mu Qiuhua was startled and nodded: "Indeed..."

In this place where the sun cannot reach, researchers who are not crazy have long become experimental subjects.

Human nature is here, showing its evil in all its glory.

After a brief thought, Jiang Ye said, "Regarding the problem of radiation in your body, I may have a way to solve it."

A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Qiuhua's face: "You can?"

Jiang Ye shook his head: "It's not me. But I know someone might be able to do it. It's just that you need to tell me more information, so that you can avoid a lot of unnecessary losses."

Mu Qiuhua pursed her lips, looking hesitant.

"You are afraid of dragging others into this, but you don't have to consider me." Jiang Ye leaned forward slightly and gave Mu Qiuhua some information, "I think you can see that I am not here just because of Luan Ning.

"I have my own purpose, helping you is just a side job. I'm not Luan Ning, I won't risk my life to save you."

When Mu Qiuhua heard this, his mouth opened slightly. He looked at her in a daze for a while, and then suddenly laughed.

Jiang Ye looked at her quietly without changing his expression.

After a few seconds, Mu Qiuhua returned to normal and said with a sigh: "You really... know how to make people feel relieved of their guilt."

Jiang Ye lowered his eyes slightly and did not respond.

"Okay. I will tell you everything I know, and please... be sure to pay attention to your own safety." Mu Qiuhua smiled helplessly when he saw Jiang Ye's appearance.

Jiang Ye nodded softly: "Thank you for the trouble."

Mu Qiuhua shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and spoke slowly:

“Luan Ning’s father and I were captured and brought here a few days after the apocalypse began.

"At first, they just asked us to help treat some patients here. Their diseases were all kinds of strange and bizarre, which we had never seen before the end of the world.

"But based on the actual symptoms, we have gradually developed a set of effective treatment methods. Even if we can't make them recover, we can greatly relieve their pain and stabilize their condition.

"But at this time, we discovered the existence of the laboratory. The researchers here conducted experiments on people with different physical conditions to collect data. In particular, the patients we cured would face more complex and terrifying tortures.

"We started to refuse to treat these people. As a result, we were detained and sometimes tortured, but we never gave in.

"Later, Luan Ning's father mutated..."
