Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The professors and students who came with them all went to work in the lab; they were already following the orders of those two men.

In contrast, Qiu Hongguang and his ilk had little education and spent their lives in the dark corners of society.

He knows absolutely nothing about research or medicine.

Wang Jinming was the most educated among them, but even he couldn't understand it.

After Qiu Hongguang went to the laboratory, Lan Cheng and Ye Ning were still in the laboratory researching the medicine.

Their students showed Qiu Hongguang around.

But Qiu Hongguang himself was a poor student, and he couldn't understand any of these formulas or medicines at all.

They had hoped to wait for Lan Cheng and the others to come out, but of course, they never did; all they cared about was their research.

Qiu Hongguang sat there for half an hour, and seeing that they wouldn't give him face by coming out to see him, he left in a fit of anger.

After everyone left, Zhou Zifeng closed the outer door and went into the laboratory where Lan Cheng and the others were.

"He's gone?" asked the beautiful woman next to Lan Cheng.

Zhou Zifeng said respectfully, "Teacher, he's gone. He looks really angry."

The teacher he was talking about was this beautiful woman. If Chi Xing were here, he would definitely recognize her at a glance as Ye Ning, Lan Yu's mother.

Lan Yu's appearance is largely inherited from Ye Ning; her eyebrows and eyes are cold and aloof, and a slight smile plays on her lips as she speaks in a soft voice:

"Even if he comes in to take a look, he won't understand it."

Lan Cheng, standing beside her, looked at her with eyes full of doting affection.

"Once we develop the serum, we can leave this place."

They had wanted to leave for a long time; Qiu Hongguang was no good.

When they first arrived, they didn't understand. But after experiencing the apocalypse for so many years, they knew that apart from ordinary civilians, no one else in Hope Base was any good.

If it weren't for the difficulty of leaving with so many people, they probably would have left with the students long ago.

There were hundreds, if not thousands, of people who followed them in the lab. These were the people who had escaped from the lab with them.

How can they just leave people here now?

Besides colleagues, most of the people there were the couple's students. They were all so young.

Watching the young students display their youthful arrogance as they faced Qiu Hongguang, Ye Ning couldn't help but think of her youngest son.

Her missing youngest son.

Ye Ning always believed that Lan Yu's disappearance was the work of Qiu Hongguang's men. There were only two possible outcomes: either Lan Yu was imprisoned by that old scoundrel Qiu Hongguang, or... her little Yu was gone.

But for the sake of the serum, they couldn't afford to turn against Qiu Hongguang. They could only endure it and let Lan Yan go to Lan Yu, even if there was only a sliver of hope.

When the serum is available, humanity will no longer need these so-called bases for "protection," and that will be Qiu Hongguang's death day.

The base harbors too much darkness. Some people escaped the zombies, but they couldn't escape the villains within the base.

The reason Ye Ning and his colleagues kept all the students by their side, even if they were just doing odd jobs in the lab, was to keep them alive.

Qiu Hongguang's men are no good; they'd pounce on any pretty young woman they see and try to take a bite out of her.

Noticing Ye Ning's emotions, Lan Cheng gave the others a look. After they left, Lan Cheng gently hugged Ye Ning in his arms.

He comforted her, saying, "Don't be sad, things will get better."

He was referring to the human condition.

It's not that they're trying to be saints; as doctors, they're just doing what they can.

They would never hesitate to give if it could help more people escape suffering.

But now...

Ye Ning said in a muffled voice, "But we can't even protect our son. Ah Cheng, I'm not a qualified mother."

Whenever Ye Ning thought about how much suffering her Xiaoyu might have endured, she couldn't sleep and felt heartbroken.

Lan Cheng could only give her sleeping pills each time, hoping she could take care of her health.

The sudden disappearance of their son completely changed their once happy family, and even Lan Cheng himself couldn't help but secretly wipe away tears.

But now he is the pillar of his family, and he cannot cry in front of his wife, otherwise it will make her even more upset.

Lan Cheng gently stroked the back of his wife's head, shaking his head as he said, "No, you've already tried your best. It's others who want to harm us."

"Xiao Yan has already gone out to look for it, she will definitely find it, don't be sad."

Ye Ning didn't want Lan Cheng to be sad either, so she took a few deep breaths and tried to control her emotions.

Neither of them possessed any special abilities, so they couldn't freely leave the base and could only wait for news from Lan Yan.

"They've been gone for quite a few days, they should be back by now."

The couple spoke quietly.

*

Meanwhile, Lan Yan rushed back to the base at an even faster speed.

If possible, he wanted to arrive before Qiu Xuanyu and the others went back.

Maybe we can successfully bring Lan Cheng and Ye Ning out.

With several people taking turns driving, they actually made it back ahead of schedule.

Hope Base is very large, with several city gates, each guarded by someone. Unless someone you know leads you in, no one else, even if they have superpowers, is allowed to enter.

The person guarding the gate was Zhao Erzhu, who was familiar with Lan Yan.

He is a strength-type ability user with inexhaustible brute strength, but he is not very smart. It was Lan Yan who found this job for his family out of pity.

Lan Yan never expected that he would need his help in the end.

Zhao Erzhu parked his car in front of the gate and, seeing that it was a familiar car, quickly came over to check it out.

Before even getting close, upon seeing that it was Lan Yan, Zhao Erzhu broke into a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile:

"Brother Lan, is it you who are back?"

He scratched his head and looked behind the car again: "Wait a minute, where's everyone else? Is it just you guys?"

He glanced at the other people in the car.

There were many people on the exploration team, and Zhao Erzhu didn't recognize them all. However, based on his trust in Lan Yan, he subconsciously assumed that these people were also from the Hope Base.

But he still asked, "These people look a little unfamiliar."

Lan Yan smiled at him and said, "They just joined not long ago, and they are all advanced ability users. We were surrounded by zombies and got separated from the others, so we came back first."

Zhao Erzhu suddenly realized and quickly had someone open the door: "Okay, then you should go back quickly. Your uncle and aunt must miss you very much."

Lan Yan nodded: "Thanks, come to our house for dinner sometime."

"Eh."

Watching the vehicle drive away, Zhao Erzhu smiled honestly, relieved that the vehicle had returned safely.

The other guards also recognized Lan Yan, the son of Professor Lan and Professor Ye, who was a dual-elemental ability user.

Moreover, Qiu Xuanyu openly likes him; a saying circulates in the base:

It's better to offend Qiu Xuanyu than to offend Lan Yan, because Qiu Xuanyu's heart and eyes are full of Lan Yan.

Inside the car, the sharp-eared and sharp-eyed Chi Chen also heard these words.
