Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Song Xianyin didn't wake up until noon the next day. She looked at the familiar room and was a little confused.

Why is she back? Wasn't she supposed to be in the lab...?

Xin Long has been going to bed later and later these past few days. Some ordinary people in the base have suddenly contracted infectious diseases, and she has no choice but to go with Xi Yu to help those patients every day.

At first, everyone thought it was just a common infectious disease, after all, there were too many chaotic things in the apocalypse.

But soon the people in the base began to feel afraid.

"What's going on? Why are more and more people getting sick...?"

"Exactly, that's terrifying! Weren't you supposed to get better?"

This disease is strange; it doesn't cause pain, but it constantly depletes a person's physical strength, causing the bones in their body to atrophy.

People infected with this disease can only lie helplessly in bed, waiting for their death.

Hidden among the crowd, a man listened to what the people around him were saying, and he became increasingly uneasy.

He did it by accident; he accidentally bumped into the two test tubes, and the liquid inside seeped into the soil. People then ate the food grown on that land.

This medicine was meant to fight zombies; he just wanted to test its power...

Cold sweat gradually appeared on the man's face. The person next to him noticed his expression and asked with concern, "Li Jun, what's wrong?"

Li Jun forced a smile and shook his head: "I slept too late last night, and I have a bit of a headache."

Looking at the white coats moving around the base, he knew he was doomed.

He waited in his room for the judgment of those with superpowers, but to his surprise, several days had passed and no one had come to see him.

Slowly, he walked out of the room.

He observed the people around him for a while and began to learn how to care for the patients in the base, just like those superhumans.

He rarely spoke, burying himself in his work every day. While other superhumans were resting, he dared not rest for a moment, and the patients were very grateful to him.

But only he knows why he did it...

"Who poisoned us? Why haven't we found them yet?"

"Yeah, does that person have such a powerful background?"

Li Jun had just finished turning a patient over. His eyes were somewhat deep. He casually remarked, "Ordinary people definitely can't get their hands on those things, since they're all kept in the lab."

The lab wasn't as difficult to enter as he had imagined. He had forgotten how he got in, but he remembered that he encountered no obstacles along the way.

He quickly steered the conversation away from the topic: "Then they must be people with superpowers. How could ordinary people like us get in?"

"So who exactly is it that made them keep this secret so closely?"

He looked out the door and suddenly saw Song Xianyin and Xin Long pushing the newlyweds in.

Song Xianyin is an ordinary person who cries every day; it's unrealistic to pin the blame on her.

"Miss Xinlong, you've worked so hard." The woman standing outside the door smiled at Xinlong.

Xin Long's eyes curved into a smile: "This is my duty."

As someone with superpowers, I have the ability to protect everyone, so of course I should serve everyone.

Li Jun knew Xin Long; she had a high reputation at the base and was involved in almost all projects. Most importantly, he had never seen her show a cold shoulder to anyone.

He placed the tools on the tray and said casually, "Maybe it's someone from the captain's side, otherwise why wouldn't they tell us?"

The men with big mouths stopped abruptly, their gazes silently turning towards Xin Long outside the door.

They quickly reached a consensus: something was definitely wrong with Xinlong.

Song Xianyin didn't want to come to the hospital at all, because she was afraid of getting infected.

But when she asked Ruan Jingsheng, he said she wouldn't get infected, so she felt relieved and came to help Xinlong.

She wanted to ask him about what happened that night, but seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she didn't bring herself to ask.

Even though the base is already built and we have land and food, Ruan Jingsheng seems to be getting busier and busier. It's really strange, since no one else is this busy.

Although Xinlong is not a healing-type superpowered individual, she is particularly careful when taking care of those patients, comforting and coaxing them. Song Xianyin sometimes even doubts whether she is a preschool teacher.

The patient lying in the hospital bed looked at Xin Long with eyes full of love.

"Thank you so much, Miss Xinlong. You're so busy, yet you still take care of us."

Xin Long blushed slightly, and she quickly waved her hand, "No, no, it's what I should do."

“Miss Xinlong, nothing is a given.”

Although everyone was very sick, they remained optimistic because of Xinlong's presence.

Li Jun walked in at this moment. He examined the patients as usual. He didn't talk much, but he was very practical in his work.

The old man's eyes kept shifting between Li Jun and Xin Long.

"Li Jun, do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Jun paused for a moment, then forced a smile: "Not yet."

The old man's smile widened: "Li Jun, you're so handsome, why don't you think about finding a girlfriend or something?"

Seeing that Li Jun didn't speak, the old man looked at Xin Long: "Miss Xin Long, Li Jun is a very strong boy. He carries us very easily."

He chuckled and said, "Female superhumans like you still need a man to protect you. When you can't lift something, it's good to have someone to help you."

"Miss Xinlong, do you think this old man is right?"

Xinlong felt a little strange, but that's how old people usually are, so she just smiled and let it go.

But the old man didn't seem to have any intention of giving up: "In this special environment, having a good partner is the most important thing. Having a partner means having a home."

Song Xianyin sat in the chair looking at Li Jun. Where did this Li Jun come from? She rarely saw him before, but she had seen him wandering around a lot these past few days.

The old man got more and more excited as he spoke, and Song Xianyin became a little annoyed: "Grandpa, Xin Long is strong enough to lift ten Li Juns. It's not certain who will protect whom."

"If we encounter danger, are you expecting Xinlong to carry a man away?"

The old man was so angry at Song Xianyin's words that his beard bristled: "What are you saying, girl? Although Miss Xinlong is a superhuman, she is definitely not as strong as a man. Am I wrong?"

"If I weren't so old now, I could have fought a tiger with my bare hands when I was young."

Li Jun paid close attention to Xin Long's expression throughout. As a superhuman, even after being so offended, she didn't seem angry at all. Wasn't she the perfect scapegoat?

Li Jun smiled at Xin Long: "Sir, please don't tease Miss Xin Long."

Seeing that someone was on his side, the old man, along with Li Jun, began to give pointers to Song Xianyin.

Song Xianyin looked at this old man and thought, "He deserves to get sick."
