Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

Jiang Ye's heart sank.

From the moment she recognized Mu Qiuhua, she had been wondering why she hadn't met Luan Ning's father.

After all, the novel says that both his parents died in this underground laboratory.

While Jiang Ye was deep in thought, Mu Qiuhua continued with a sigh, "The laboratory researchers said that his father was a rare positive mutation and was very valuable for research. So he was sent away immediately, and I have never seen him again."

Jiang Ye curled her fingers slightly: "No news is also good news. Since it is a rare mutation, they will not harm my uncle's life."

Mu Qiuhua's eyebrows curved: "You are right."

She didn't dwell on it too much, and continued, "Not long after he was taken away, I was also used as an experimental subject and put into the culture tank."

Hearing the unfamiliar words, Jiang Ye paused and turned to look at her.

Seeing her appearance, Mu Qiuhua asked, "That is a transparent tank filled with dark green semi-liquid substance. They use it to catalyze mutations in ordinary people and extract biological genes. Did you see it on your way here?"

Jiang Ye nodded in understanding.

"But I might be lucky. The day after I was put in, I met Wan Zhiming who came here to inspect.

"He had someone release me, locked me up here, and gave me plenty of medicinal herbs..."

Mu Qiuhua's eyes slid across the group of half-grown children nearby: "Siyuan and I had originally decided not to treat their experimental subjects anymore..."

There was a long sigh at the end of her voice.

Jiang Ye's eyes darkened, and he probably guessed what was going to happen next.

Doctors are kindhearted. Wan Zhiming put her in an environment full of patients and gave her plenty of medicinal materials. It was hard to guarantee that she would not take action...

As expected, Mu Qiuhua continued, “But seeing these children suffer, I just couldn’t bear it, so I could only treat them in the end.

"Later, I mutated and developed superpowers, which was also a positive mutation. However, the patients here have all kinds of strange conditions, and I am the only one who can barely cope with them, so the researchers gave up the idea of ​​taking me away.

"Gradually, my cooperation made the people in the experimental area more tolerant of me and allowed me to ask for things like books, bedding, tables and chairs, and chalk...

"Day after day, the days just passed like this."

Mu Qiuhua paused after he finished speaking, and seeing that Jiang Ye didn't react, he asked with a smile, "Is it more boring than you expected?"

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I think you are amazing."

Mu Qiuhua smiled bitterly: "But I didn't do anything."

"It's already the third year since the end of the world." Jiang Ye raised his head and glanced at the high roof. "You've persisted for a long time."

"Really? It's been three years." Mu Qiuhua was a little stunned.

Jiang Ye sighed and turned away, only to see the children still looking at her warily. She couldn't help but smile, "They like you very much."

Although they could not fully understand what they said, they were all very concerned about Mu Qiuhua's mood changes, and became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Ye.

This is enough to show that Mu Qiuhua is usually very nice to them.

"They are all very cute children." Mu Qiuhua's melancholy soon disappeared because of her words. "They were all sent in when they were very young. Among all the subjects, they also have the highest positive mutation rate, and their abilities are basically surreal.

“That group of researchers suspected that the direction of supernatural power mutation is related to people’s thinking, and children’s thinking is the most imaginative.

"This is also the reason why they have recently... been very keen on increasing the number of young mutants."

At this point, Mu Qiuhua's expression turned worse, "I don't know if they have taken any action..."

"It's useless to think too much." Jiang Ye said in a deep voice, "Now, you can only protect yourselves first."

"Yes." Mu Qiuhua smiled bitterly.

"Do all the children here have special powers?" Jiang Ye looked at her, was silent for two seconds, and changed the subject.

Mu Qiuhua: “Yes.”

Jiang Ye estimated the time and said, "Can you tell me everything briefly?"

If all these children can exert their fighting power at the same time, the probability of rescuing them all will be greatly increased.

Mu Qiuhua probably knew what she meant and sighed, "There are jammers buried underground throughout the entire experimental area. Once they are activated, our abilities will become ineffective. Many people who have mutated to powerful abilities have tried to escape, but they all failed for this reason."

Jiang Ye frowned: "Is there no guard with the same superpowers in this experimental area?"

"There are some." Mu Qiuhua shook his head, "But the underground interference device only affects us."

Can you lock the object?

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly: "I understand, but I still need you to tell me all their abilities."

Mu Qiuhua was a little surprised, but finally nodded.

Then she rubbed her numb legs, stood up, and slowly walked back to the circle of children.

"This is Yu Ji, he's ten years old this year, and his ability is to control fire." She pulled over the little boy who was closest to her and was wearing a blue cartoon short-sleeved shirt. "He has the most proficient ability among the children present, and he should have the highest combat power at the moment."

Jiang Ye looked at him. The latter was being pulled by Mu Qiuhua, and his frown relaxed a little.

But he still couldn't hide his vigilance towards Jiang Ye.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Ye." Jiang Ye waved at him with a smile.

Yu Ji suddenly opened his eyes wide in a daze, then suddenly lowered his head without answering her.

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was just his personality.

But Mu Qiuhua bowed and said to him: "When you meet a new friend, you should say 'hello'. Your teacher taught you that."

If this was said to a kindergarten-age child, Jiang Ye would still understand.

But to a ten-year-old child, it seemed a little strange.

What is even more strange is that Yu Ji, who seems to be very dependent on Mu Qiuhua, just raised his head woodenly at this moment and did not listen to Mu Qiuhua's words.

Like a robot without power.

Jiang Ye was stunned.

Suddenly she understood where the weird feeling that had appeared in her heart from time to time since she came in came from.

The children here all look like one person...

At this moment, Mu Qiuhua seemed to have given up, and raised his head to Jiang Ye and said, "I'm sorry, except for training and experiments, they only have contact with me on weekdays. It's the first time they see a new face, so they may be... a little scared."

Jiang Ye had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and shook his head.

Mu Qiuhua then introduced other children to her.

Yu Ruorui who can manipulate objects through the air, Rui Tan who can increase the speed of others by dozens of times, Zhuang Jiming who can confuse people's vision, Qi Yunxin who can summon hard iron chains from the ground...

Everyone cooperated with Mu Qiuhua, but everyone's performance was similar to Yu Ji's, and no one paid attention to Jiang Ye's attempts to get along.

However, there were a few times when Jiang Ye did not play by the rules and pretended that he would hurt Mu Qiuhua if they did not speak. However, those children were able to react immediately and spoke out to stop him.

Jiang Ye had an idea in mind. When Mu Qiuhua finished introducing them one by one, she whispered to Mu Qiuhua, "Before breaking out, don't be soft-hearted and give them orders directly."

Mu Qiuhua looked at her suddenly, his eyes full of shock: "You..."
