The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Hearing about the self-healing medicine, Huo Yan was just as shocked as the fans in the live stream.

[Forest Notes: No? What is it? A self-healing potion? Really?]

[Ah-Dai running in his dream: Can legs grow back if they've disappeared?]

[The following comment: Holy crap, if this is true, it's incredible!]

[Three Foxes: This must be a reward for the achievement, right?]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Could there be even more powerful evolution potions or something?]

[Studying until my hair goes bald: Impossible! This is a medical miracle! Then all my medical studies have been for nothing!]

[April's Peach: How is that impossible? This apocalypse is the result of a rampant genetic virus. Haven't you noticed that those mutants have incredibly strong self-healing abilities?]

……

Looking at the comments in the live stream, Ye Xiao said:

“That’s what I’m also concerned about. We can have Dafeng come over to participate in the trial of the drug. If it can achieve limb regeneration, that would be even better.”

Meanwhile, in the command center, Lu Zhao and Director Liao's group had different expressions upon hearing the "self-healing drug formula."

Shocked, ecstatic, frenzied, excited...

At this moment, Director Liao became even more convinced of his own thoughts. Indeed, it was the right choice to give Ye Xiao command.

A complete "self-healing potion formula" allowed them to skip the long and complex research process altogether.

If they were to rely on themselves to conduct the research, it would take an unknown amount of time, and they might encounter various unexpected situations and risks along the way.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, delivered the results in one fell swoop!

Several experts from the research institute who were watching from the sidelines were so excited that they wished they could go over right now.

Huo Yan carefully examined the items Ye Xiao had given him, then took a deep breath and said:

"Many of these things probably need to be extracted from some of the organisms and plants here, but the most important thing is the seed core of this special mutated plant."

Ye Xiao pulled over a chair, sat down, and smiled:

"Don't worry, we have that. We will continue to hunt down king-level mutated plants, and all the necessary samples will be included in our subsequent action plans."

At this point, Ye Xiao looked at Huo Yan. Although he believed that Huo Yan understood perfectly well, he still couldn't help but offer a word of advice.

"By the way, you'd better memorize this recipe and then burn it. It's very important, so don't tell anyone easily. I think you should know how important it is."

Huo Yan nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I know. I signed a confidentiality agreement."

After finishing this conversation, Ye Xiao turned his gaze to Ye Xing, who was squatting by the table, peeking out from the edge, craning his neck, and staring wide-eyed at the samples in the bottles and jars with curiosity and amusement.

Her eyes were full of innocence. According to Huo Yan's estimation of her bone age, Ye Xing should be fourteen years old this year, but she is only 1.3 meters tall. When he saw her before, she was very thin and small due to long-term malnutrition.

Now, after spending some time by Ye Xiao's side, Ye Xing's body has grown rapidly. His height has suddenly increased to 1.4 meters in a short period of time, and he has also gained some weight.

Even his face has become chubby, and his hair has grown quite a bit, now reaching an inch or two on top of his head.

That innocent little face actually has very well-proportioned and cute features, especially a pair of big, grape-like eyes.

However, there was one thing that Ye Xiao was always very concerned about.

Ye Xiao frowned and looked at Huo Yan, "Professor Huo, is there any possibility that Ye Xing's intelligence is still normal?"

Many fans in the live chat were clearly unaware of the situation after hearing Ye Xiao's words.

[Liangliang is me: No, I, Ye Xing, am not stupid, am I?]

[The defeated man: No way! How could such a beautiful young woman be stupid?]

[Crimson Night: Maybe it's just that they didn't go to school during the apocalypse, and they're just not smart enough.]

[Three Foxes: I think Ye Xing looks a little strange.]

[Pharaoh Elden: It's alright, Star Girl, I'll take care of you!]

……

Fans might not realize it at first glance, but Ye Xing's exceptional fighting skills are actually a kind of "beastly" instinct.

From the moment Ye Xiao picked up Ye Xing, he noticed that Ye Xing was somewhat different from others. He initially thought it was because Ye Xing had not received education for a long time, or because he had been abused by those bastards for a long time.

But after spending time together, everyone has realized that Ye Xing's gaze is too naive, too innocent, too clear to be foolish.

Originally, because she couldn't speak, they thought they would have her write by hand, but after discovering that Ye Xing couldn't even read, everyone realized that things were far more complicated than that.

Huo Yan later stated directly that Ye Xing's behavior clearly indicated intellectual disability.

Huo Yan glanced at Ye Xing beside him. She was secretly reaching out to touch the sample jar, but when she noticed Huo Yan's gaze, she immediately withdrew her hand.

Huo Yan smiled helplessly, feeling a pang of heartache and regret, and said:

"Her case is very special. Her aphasia and intelligence do not seem to be innate. Based on previous analysis of her blood and research observations, her condition should be related to her mutation."

"Related to mutation?"

Ye Xiao frowned and looked at Ye Xing's dark right arm.

Huo Yan nodded, his expression serious.

"Her cells are significantly different from ours, which means her body has undergone a kind of evolution, but this evolution has led to a decline in intelligence. The specific reasons still need further research."

"Ye Xing's current IQ is equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child. He has already learned to take care of himself without any problems, but if you ask him to study or become smarter, that would be very difficult."

"Unless her evolution brings about some change."

Ugh!

Ye Xiao sighed, "Fine, let her be a little fool. Anyway, I have this older brother to take care of her."

Seemingly sensing that Ye Xiao was talking about her, Ye Xing turned her head towards him. Seeing Ye Xiao smiling at her, she immediately darted to his side, obediently squatted down beside him, looked up at him with a grin, tugged at his sleeve, pointed at herself, and looked puzzled.

Ye Xiao replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm talking about you!"

As he spoke, Ye Xiao touched the kiwi-like head. Huo Yan, watching their interaction, asked in bewilderment:

"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious myself, how did you understand the child's gestures?"

Ye Xiao shrugged, a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

"Actually, I don't know either. It's just a feeling. Maybe Ye Xing and I are destined to be together, so we have a strange tacit understanding."

At this moment, Ye Xing, who was squatting to the side, pulled the plush bear backpack on his back, took out two lollipops, tore one open and put it in his mouth, and then tore another open and handed it to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled and took it directly into his mouth, while Huo Yan, who was ignored, twitched his eye speechlessly.

Ye Xiao looked at Huo Yan and said to Ye Xing, "Xingxing, why don't you give Professor Huo one?"

Ye Xing glanced at Huo Yan, clutched his small backpack, and reluctantly reached inside.

Seeing her reluctant expression, Huo Yan glared at Ye Xiao speechlessly, "Are you deliberately trying to stab me in the back?"

"Alright, alright, I won't eat it. Xingxing can eat it herself!"

Hearing Huo Yan's words, Ye Xing withdrew his empty hand with satisfaction, zipped up his backpack, put it back on his back, and gave Huo Yan a thumbs up.

Huo Yan looked slightly puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Ye Xiao swirled the lollipop in his mouth with his tongue and laughed:

"She said you're such a good person!"

Huo Yan, speechless at being inexplicably friend-zoned, sat back down at his desk, too lazy to pay any more attention to the two of them.

[The Heart of Isaac: Hahaha, I, Ye Xing, really know how to treat people differently.]

[Silly Girl (No Sugar): Wait, what's so great about the streamer? Girl, are you confused?!]

……

The fans in the live stream teased and cheered. Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows triumphantly, waved to Ye Xing, and Ye Xing followed him out of the laboratory.

"Come on, Xingxing, we need to go pick up the newlyweds!"
