Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

To be honest, she wouldn't believe it if she hadn't experienced it herself.

Xia Jiumeng touched her head and pretended to be embarrassed to change the subject. She didn't want to see Li Shen like this.

"No, it's just that, is this potion really useful to you?" Li Shen's expression returned to normal, as if the abnormal emotion just now was just an illusion.

"Yes." Seeing his inquisitive eyes, she continued, "In fact, the Evol gene in humans is not fully developed. It should be only a small part."

"If genes are a door, this potion is a key that helps people open the door, and those who have the evol gene are the ones who find the door."

"But to open the door, you still need the help of this potion. I call it genetic potion."

"Gene medicine?"

Seeing Li Shen's expression of some confusion, Xia Jiumeng expressed her insights from her observations over this period of time.

During this period of time, she seemed to have done nothing and was just idling around, but in fact, she had been secretly observing a lot of things.

Time passed quickly. Most of the time, Xia Jiumeng was talking and Li Shen was listening. Occasionally, he would ask some professional questions, and Xia Jiumeng could answer them perfectly and give unique insights.

This world is actually very strange. It has clearly given humans hints about the direction of evolution, but instead of studying genes, they study wandering bodies and evol energy.

It’s not that there are no people who study cell genes or the like. There are some, but not many, so genetic research in this world is basically stagnant.

Powerful force definitely requires a strong body to withstand, but they seem to be unable to think of this.

Instead of strengthening themselves through genes or their own evolution, they constantly seek external forces in strange ways.

I don’t know how long it took before Xia Jiumeng fell asleep leaning on Li Shen’s shoulder.

Li Shen gently laid her flat on the sofa, looking at her face so close to him, his fingers unconsciously touched her eyebrows.

"Well."

Feeling an itchy sensation between her eyebrows, Xia Jiumeng moaned and turned her head.

Li Shen was suddenly startled, quickly withdrew his hand, and sat upright on the sofa. It took him several seconds to realize that she was asleep.

He laughed and looked at the clock. It was almost five in the morning. He had no work arrangements for tomorrow, so he leaned against the other side of the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Although it was summer, it was still a little cold at night. The sleeping Xia Jiumeng felt the warmth at her feet and subconsciously looked over there and moved closer.

After finally hugging the giant 'warm baby' full of warmth, she sighed in satisfaction and continued to sleep, completely unaware of how stiff and tense the 'warm baby' was.

The sky was bright and the dazzling sunlight forced Xia Jiumeng to wake up.

I subconsciously reached out to grab yesterday's 'hot pack' but suddenly heard a muffled groan.

He was so scared that he quickly stood up and looked, only to see that one of her hands and one of her legs were resting on Li Shen's body, and her whole body was stuck in his arms, while Li Shen looked at her with a somewhat... weird expression on his face while holding his mobile phone.

Xia Jiumeng realized that she seemed to be still holding the other person, so she hurriedly stood up in a panic. As a result, she misjudged the width of the sofa and fell backwards and almost hit the armrest of the sofa.

Just as she was about to get a bump on her head, she felt a force at her waist and was instantly pulled back.

"hiss."

"Well."

Two voices rang out, both carrying varying degrees of pain.

It turned out that just now when Li Shen saw her head about to hit the armrest of the sofa, he subconsciously reached out and pulled her back into his arms. Not only did her forehead hit his chin, but her hand was also placed in an 'inappropriate' position, and he subconsciously took a breath.

Xia Jiumeng felt the scorching heat and the scratchy feel of her hand. She was so panicked that she even ignored the pain in her forehead. Only three words filled her mind: Save me... Save me...

What did she touch!!!!

this! !

"Your hand." Li Shen's hoarse voice sounded above her head.

Xia Jiumeng quickly withdrew her hand from his arms as if she had been burned. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to. I..."

"I know, it was an accident."

Xia Jiumeng's face was so red that she knelt on the sofa like a child who had made a mistake, waiting for the adults to speak.

Even after Li Shen sighed and helped her sit down, she still didn't dare to look up.

Although she is a lustful person, her courage...is still a little lacking. Especially when facing the real person, she is like a hot coal doused with cold water, and she loses control in an instant.

Seeing her like this, Li Shen had no choice but to speak first. "You, when did you say you were seriously injured and unconscious yesterday?"

Xia Jiumeng: "Ah?"

Did she say it?

Have it?

"Um... this... actually happened a few days ago..."

"Well, I wanted to go to the hunting reserve to look for something, but unexpectedly encountered a high-level stray body, which beat me seriously..." She said under Li Shen's increasingly serious eyes.

"So you forgot what you said in the polar region?"

Xia Jiumeng twisted her fingers guiltily.

"Um...I..."

Seeing her like this, Li Shen held his forehead helplessly and said, "Forget it, I ordered breakfast, let's eat together."

Even if you tell her, she won't stay still.

Li Shen got up, opened the door and took the takeaway food that was placed at the door.

By the time we finished breakfast, it was almost 10 o'clock. Normally, Dr. Li should have been at work for a few hours by this time, right?

Xia Jiumeng looked at Li Shen who was leisurely drinking porridge and asked curiously, "Aren't you working today?"

"My vacation hasn't ended yet. I had to take care of an emergency operation yesterday."

"That's it."

"I was wondering why you came back in such a hurry."

"So you're going back to the polar regions?"

"Well, the professor's business isn't over yet."

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but admire Li Shen for being a dedicated and good doctor. He was clearly very busy at the research center over there, but he could still fly back immediately because of a difficult operation.

What a good doctor.

"Then when are you leaving?"

"It was originally scheduled for this morning, but what you told me yesterday gave me new ideas."

"If, as you said, the first layer of human genes is opened, then contact with the core or contamination by the energy of wandering bodies will prevent mutations?"

"I can't guarantee that, because no matter how much I say, it's all just theoretical knowledge. Specific conclusions still need to be proven by experiments."

Xia Jiumeng couldn't give Li Shen a definite answer. She knew that Li Shen wanted to save those who were eroded by the wandering body's energy and turned into monsters, but she couldn't make a promise without specific experiments, especially to Li Shen.

This world is not as safe as it seems. Outside Linkong City, there are many places occupied by stray bodies. People live in fear every day that they may turn into monsters or die at any time.

If we want to change all this, we have a long way to go.

"I see. I've looked at your information, and it doesn't seem complete."

"It's incomplete, because many of the ingredients in the potion formula I remember are not here. So far, I have only gathered 60% of the materials."

Speaking of this, Xia Jiumeng also had a headache.

She has collected a lot of things during this period, but because she has not had time to trade and has not received anything, the data comparison of the materials is still at a standstill.

"Do you need my help?"

"If possible, if you have any rare medicines or plants over there, could you send me a copy?"

"Yes, but it's a dangerous substance..."

"You can decide on the situation. After all, we don't know what we'll need to put the pieces together. It's okay if we don't have any."

Xia Jiumeng did not force it. After all, Li Shen was a doctor. Although he had access to a large number of medicines, he could not get everything.

She didn't want to embarrass him either.

"I see."
