I take skeletons to the apocalypse

At the beginning of the banquet, Jing Yunian paid respects to those with high status on the field one by one, and then was surrounded by several juniors with lower status, listening to the flattery.

Zeng Ce is slightly lower than Jing Yunian in terms of seniority, so he should also offer a toast.But he is a supporting role today, and Xia Xi doesn't move, so it's not easy for him to do it for him.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you toast or not, the expedition team and the management committee are independent of each other, even if he splashed wine on Jing Yunian's face, Jing Yunian would not dare to go past Sheng Bai to touch him.

Originally, Zeng Ce planned to reduce the sense of presence and quietly complete the entire banquet, so as to avoid accidents in Xia Tian and get him punished.Unexpectedly, Jing Yunian discovered his existence and walked over here on his own initiative.

Jing Yunian didn't know about the previous episode in the banquet hall. He also noticed the handsome young man beside Zeng Ce, but he took him as Zeng Ce's new favorite.

He thought that with Sheng Bai's character, at most he would send a butler to bring the gifts, but he didn't expect that the other party would send a big star official over.Although the rank of the star official is slightly lower than his own, but the other party is here on behalf of Sheng Bai and the expedition team, Jing Yunian's attitude is very polite, and he shows the etiquette for treating peers: "Master Zeng, don't come here without any problems."

"Director Jing." Zeng Ce responded immediately, and took the initiative to step forward, blocking Xia Xi behind him.

But Jing Yunian didn't understand Zeng Ce's painstaking efforts, and turned his gaze to Xia Xi: "This is a face-to-face student, Master Zeng, won't you introduce me?"

Xia Xi took the initiative to lift the rim of the cup, and asked Jing Yunian with a high posture, "I don't have a mouth? Do you need him to introduce me?"

That attitude can be said to be extremely rude, and Zeng Ce turned his face away in horror.

And Jing Yunian's face turned green on the spot.

After all, Jing Yunian didn't overturn the table with Xia Xi on the spot, but just gave Xia Xi a sideways look with a smirk, and then looked at Zeng Ce with a little dissatisfaction: "What does this mean?"

Zeng Ce had no choice but to bite the bullet and introduce both sides: "This is the protagonist of today's banquet, the director of the medical center, Jing Yunian."

"This is Xia Tian, ​​Mr. Xia. An important friend of our captain Sheng. The kid has a bit of a temper. Please forgive me, Director Jing."

The word "lover" couldn't be used on the table, Zeng Ce was afraid that Xia Xi would be unhappy, so he changed the word.

Sheng Bai's friend?Jing Yunian understood in an instant, he didn't expect that there would be a day when he was mistaken, and it was not Zeng Ce's lover who came, but Sheng Bai's lover.

He also heard about Sheng Bai taking a young lover.Although I secretly think that it is something that should not be put on the stage, but if I can not offend it in person, I still try not to offend it.

Jing Yunian squeezed out a smiling face, and reluctantly said: "So it's Mr. Xia, I've admired him for a long time."

Xia Xi was not polite at all: "Mr. Jing doesn't even know me, why have you admired me for a long time?"

Jing Yunian twitched the corners of his mouth. He was not a good-tempered person, but he was afraid of offending Sheng Bai who was behind Xia Xi, so he didn't dare to turn his back on him.That guy was a real lunatic, and he had killed a member of the management committee in the city before who contradicted him.

He took a deep breath, and his tone was more modest: "Although I have never met, I have been fascinated by Mr. Xia for a long time."

Xia Xi laughed, showing a row of neat little white teeth: "I'm just a little duck, Mr. Jing is so fascinated by me, he wants to learn from me, how do you sleep with a man?"

"You..." Jing Yunian was so angry that he was completely defeated, because Jing Lan broke up with him for a man before the end of the world.He especially can't hear the word "sleeping man".

Xia Xi said quietly: "Just kidding. Mr. Jing is so generous, shouldn't he be angry?"

There were a few suppressed low laughs from around.Jing Yunian's face couldn't hold back any longer, and he left with his wine glass and shook his sleeves.

"Everyone has no grievances, why did you provoke him?" Zeng Ce whispered behind Xia Xi.

Xia Xi pinched a piece of cake and took a bite slowly: "He stood in front of me, preventing me from breathing."

Jing Yunian lost face with Xia Xi, and the atmosphere he managed to create was completely destroyed by Xia Xi.

Jing Yunian's subordinates quickly diverted the topic away to ease the embarrassment: "Director Jing, I heard that the medical center recently plans to launch a drug that can improve physical fitness. After taking it, various resistances in the human body will be greatly improved. .and is permanent. Is this true?"

These words immediately pulled everyone's attention away from the joke just now. Improving physical resistance is the privilege of supernatural beings, but ordinary people account for a large proportion of high-level people. Specific drugs are of great interest.

"Ah, this is still under study." Jing Yunian calmed down and put on a smile again: "The progress of the project is kept secret. I can only say that the good news should be coming soon."

A group of people flocked to him again in a lively manner. All kinds of medicines developed by the research institute had to go to the medical center. In this area, Jing Yunian had great authority.

Everyone asked in a hurry:

"All kinds of resistance include those?"

"Can physical damage also be resisted? What kind of resistance is used to make the body hard?"

"What about elemental abilities? Is it useful for neurotoxins?"

"Are there any side effects?"

"Can supernatural beings use it? Can it be superimposed with the resistance you have already acquired?"

The atmosphere was lively like a press conference scene.

Jing Yunian also picked some questions and answered: "The effect of medicine on physical damage is not obvious yet."

"The main thing is to increase the resistance to elemental abilities, water, fire, wind, thunder, poison, etc."

"Ability users can also use it, and the higher the level of the ability, the better the amplification effect."

"So far, no obvious side effects have been found. In the later stage, it is planned to add effects related to the body's self-healing ability in the drug, but there is still a lack of key data support."

"Hey, I wonder if this thing can prevent corrosion?" someone in the crowd asked.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The relationship between Jing Lan and the Jing family has always been an open secret among the top management of Jingting City.

Although the vast majority of people have no memories of their previous lives, Jing Yunian's eldest son, Jing Lan, is at the top of the wanted list, and everyone knows this.

All the reborns were very afraid of Jing Lan, calling him the strongest human being in the last days.Even the armor made by the shelter has a specially increased corrosion resistance coefficient.

For this reason, Jing Yunian was often criticized by others.

Jing Yunian would appear angry and embarrassed at first, but slowly, he has found a better way to deal with this topic.

At the moment, he smiled calmly, as if he didn't understand the meaning behind the question at all: "Of course it is possible. Corrosion resistance, as an important parameter of armor performance, was taken into consideration from the very beginning."

Unexpectedly, the voice was persistent: "Really, then you should eat more."

Jing Yunian followed the voice and saw that it was Ranxue's deputy team.

Jing Yunian's youngest son, Jing Hang, is the deputy team of the first mercenary regiment, Kong Chan, and Kong Chan and the second mercenary regiment, Ranxue, compete fiercely with each other.Because of this, Ran Xue has some hostility towards the Jing family.

Jing Yunian made a sad and self-reproaching gesture: "Yes, Jing Lan was taken away by the research institute in his previous life. I didn't save him. He must have hated me as a father in his heart. But what can I do? He is my own biological son, and on the other hand is the future of mankind. I can only abandon personal feelings for the sake of righteousness."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people who were close friends with Jing Yunian all echoed: "What a good one is for righteousness. Director Jing killed relatives for the future of mankind, which is worthy of admiration."

"Director Jing, don't blame yourself too much. Your choice is correct. Jing Lan should understand you."

"You are his father, and you gave him his life. Jing Lan resented you because of this. It's really unfilial! It's not easy for you."

But there are also many people who hate Jing Yunian, and someone immediately said: "I heard that Jing Lan killed many people in his previous life. If he hadn't used supernatural powers to destroy the defense system of Jingting City, our Jingting City The city may not be destroyed in the last days. In this life, he destroyed the base of the Chosen One within a few months, which shows that the destructive power and danger are higher than in the previous life. Director Jing really taught a good son."

Jing Yunian sighed, showing shame on his face: "This is my responsibility. This child Jinglan has not been close to me since he was a child. His biological mother died early, and I was busy with work during that time, so no one disciplined him. As soon as he entered junior high school, he ran away from home and went to his uncle's place. I thought maybe giving the child some independent space would allow him to grow better, but I didn't expect that he would develop such an extreme and withdrawn character later on."

He said it was his own responsibility, but he used objective reasons to pick himself up completely.Translated, it means Jing Lan Changwai, blamed his mother for leaving early, blamed him for running away from home, and even blamed his uncle.As for whether Jing Yunian himself was responsible, maybe a little bit, but that was also because he used to be busy with work, had no time, and was not close to Jing Lan, so he couldn't control it.But the most important thing is that Jing Lan was always crooked, but he definitely didn't teach it to be bad.

Xia Xi watched the farce with cold eyes.I was a little worried about Jing Lan's reaction, afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it alone, and rushed up to fight Jing Yunian, revealing his identity again.But he looked around and found that Jing Lan had left the hall at some point.

Xia Xi thought for a moment, then walked towards Ranxue's deputy captain: "Where's the dessert chef?"

"He's gone to the bathroom." The deputy team leader was taken aback for a moment, then pointed in the direction of the bathroom: "It's because my stomach isn't feeling well."

The body of a supernatural person is better than that of an ordinary person. It is very unlikely that Jing Lan will spoil his stomach. Xia Xi intuitively felt that he should want to do something.

"Thank you." Xia Xi smiled at Ranxue's deputy team, then turned and walked to the bathroom.

"Mr. Xia!" Zeng Ce thought: Xia Xi is Sheng Bai's lover after all, but now it seems a little inappropriate to get entangled with another man, so he tried to persuade him under pressure: "You have had a close relationship with an outsider, Sheng Dui knows he might be unhappy. You are Sheng Dui's lover, so it's best to avoid suspicion."

Xia Xi paused, and lowered his eyes halfway: "It's just chatting, what's there to avoid? If you think something's wrong, just complain to Sheng Bai."

Zeng Ce clenched his fists, the veins in his hands were bulging, but there was a flattering smile on his face, and he took a step back: "Don't dare."

"Don't follow me. I'm not a prisoner of the expedition." Xia Xi strode towards the bathroom after dropping these words.

And behind him, Zeng Ce really didn't follow, but his expression was a little gloomy.

Xia Xi ignored him, and when she approached the bathroom, she saw a suspended sign on the door of the bathroom on the first floor.

broken?Didn't Jing Lan come to the bathroom?Xia Xi stood at the door with some thought in his eyes.He was hesitating whether to go straight in.A man in waiter's clothes came out from inside,

With a completely unfamiliar face on his face, Xia Xi looked inexplicably familiar with the movements of arranging his clothes.He seemed to be walking in a hurry. He didn't see Xia Xi, and accidentally bumped into him, and when he was about to hit him, he adjusted his movements to avoid Xia Xi.

"I'm sorry, guest." While apologizing, he raised his head and saw Xia Xi's face, he was slightly startled, and quickly returned to his natural state.

"Is there something wrong with the bathroom?" Xia Xi asked.

"It's all right." The waiter picked up the sign and said, "Please."

Xia Xi looked around in the bathroom, but there was no one there. When she came out, she found that the dessert chef had returned to the crowd at some point.Still with that cold face, he followed behind Ranxue's vice-captain and did not communicate with others.

But Xia Xi could vaguely feel that something had changed.

"So you are here, I searched around." Xia Xi walked up to the dessert chef again.

"What's the matter?" The other party's reaction was much colder than the first meeting.

Xia Xi smiled: "Let's talk alone, is that okay?"

The other party frowned slightly, and refused in a cold voice: "I'm not free."

Xia Xi: "It's about going to cultivate the base."

The dessert chef's pupils shrank unconsciously.

"Good thing!" Before he could agree, the vice-team next to him became excited: "That's an opportunity to cultivate the base! Although it was announced on the day of the celebration that the higher-ups would be invited to visit, we may not be able to. Get that opportunity."

"I'm... not interested." The dessert chef looked away.

"Don't!" The deputy team became anxious: "It is said that I can see the doctor himself that day! You don't know how rare this opportunity is."

Xia Xi also said: "I'm a little curious about that place. Team Sheng promised to get me tickets, but he's busy and doesn't have time to go with me. So I plan to invite a few people to go with me. Would you like to go with me?"

The dessert chef was still silent, and many people around had already looked over.Xia Xi added: "Don't get me wrong, I just admire your strength after all. After all, I heard that there are many dangerous mutant creatures in the cultivation base. I have to find someone with good strength to protect me. I can pay you at the price of a mercenary." you."

The dessert chef still refused: "Mr. Xia was joking, most of the expedition team are experts, why do you need my mercenary to protect you?"

"The people in the expedition team are very boring. What's the point of asking them to play with me?" Xia Xi pouted, showing dissatisfaction, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to go. It's okay to go to the second floor with me for a chat, right?"

The dessert chef seemed a little reluctant, but was pushed out by his deputy team: "Go, go."

Then whispered in his ear: "Find a way to help me get an admission ticket."

The second floor of the banquet hall is a lounge and balcony, which is convenient for guests who are tired from playing to rest and relax here.Right now the banquet is cutting the cake, so naturally no one came to the second floor.

The dessert chef followed Xia Xi all the way to the open-air tea room outside the balcony. A waiter immediately brought tea. He was going to serve beside him, but Xia Xi drove him away.

Xia Xi picked up the teapot and poured tea for the dessert chef, and with the sound of the tea falling into the cup, she said faintly: "You have changed people in this shell, right?"

"What?" The dessert chef almost lost his expression.

"You're not Jinglan, the dessert chef is pretty good at acting, if I didn't see that there was something wrong with the waiter in the bathroom, I should have been tricked by you." Xia Xi said: "You don't look like the type who is proficient in acting, It should be that the pastry chef is closer to your original personality, right, Xiang Lei? Jing Lan told me before that you are here too, and act separately from him."

Xiang Lei, who was pretending to be a pastry chef, was stunned for three seconds before asking in an unbelievable tone, "Are you a black crow?"

Xia Xi pulled up her sleeves, revealing the bone beads on her wrists: "It's me."

Xiang Lei gasped.But after all, he is the most stable deputy team in Zhuiguang, and he quickly stabilized his mind: "You talk to me alone, do you want me or Jing Lan to go to the biological cultivation base with you?"

Xia Xi picked up the teacup and blew on the tea powder on it: "On the contrary, I hope you don't go."
