Chapter 702: His Secret ( 2 )
Seeing her condition, he couldn’t help but frown. Turning to the old man beside him, he asked, "Professor Fu, is there any improvement in my girlfriend’s condition?"
Fu Zhengde shook his head and replied, "Right now, we are still trying to figure out her condition. From the data, it is clear that her body is in the process of mutating. We also discovered leopard DNA in her body."
After a brief pause, he continued, "We believe that Miss Rong’s DNA is merging with the leopard’s DNA as we speak."
"Is there a way to stop the mutation?" Gu Shaoze asked.
"If we forcefully stop the mutation, it might cause damage to Miss Rong’s body. As for how severe the damage would be, we can’t be sure."
"So you mean we can only wait and see?"
Fu Zhengde let out a sigh and said, "Captain Gu, right now, the only person who can figure out a solution is Professor Mo Junjie."
Hearing this, Gu Shaoze went silent for a moment before saying, "I understand."
Seeing his solemn expression, Fu Zhengde shook his head and went to check on Feng Xiu.
Unlike Rong Mo’er, who was in a coma, Feng Xiu still retained her consciousness.
It’s just that she was no longer able to eat normal food and could only eat food made from mutant plants or mutant animals. As for the changes in her personality, it was thanks to Rong Qinyu, who kept her away from the battlefield, that she didn’t lose her mind.
But to prevent any accident from happening, she was now living in a separate room in the facility. This room was under surveillance, and the entrance was locked.
For others, they might have a mental breakdown from being locked up like this. But for her, she was happily lying flat. Besides eating and sleeping, she would exercise for at least 2 hours daily to keep her body fit.
When Fu Zhengde arrived, she had just finished doing 500 push-ups. For an ordinary person, doing this many push-ups would burden the body. But as a level-one ability-user, 500 push-ups were barely enough to burn some energy.
"Comrade Feng, how are you feeling today?"
Hearing his voice, Feng Xiu wiped her sweat and walked toward the glass wall. Looking at him through the glass wall, she smiled and replied, "I’m feeling good. Professor Fu, what brings you here today?"
"I came to check on you."
"Did the test result come out?" she asked.
Fu Zhengde nodded and said, "The test result came out this morning. My visit is to tell you about this matter."
Noticing his expression, Feng Xiu said, "Professor Fu, you can tell me the truth. There is no need to worry about me. I can handle it."
Seeing that she was calm, Fu Zhengde finally slipped a folder through the small opening on the door and explained, "According to the test result, we found DNA of an Axolotl, known as the Mexican Salamander, in your body. At this moment, your DNA is in the process of mutating as it merges with the Axolotl’s DNA."
When she heard this, Feng Xiu was stunned. But soon, she regained her composure and muttered softly, "No wonder. Everything makes sense now."
She read the test result for a while before she recalled what happened back then. She was sure that she had died, but her boyfriend insisted that she was in a coma, and she lost part of her memories during that period.
Looking at it now, she finally understood that her boyfriend knew everything. Perhaps the reason she came back to life had something to do with him.
After a long silence, Fu Zhengde broke the silence and asked, "Comrade Feng, do you remember how this mutant animal’s DNA was injected into your body?"
Even though Feng Xiu was suspicious of her boyfriend, she wouldn’t tell others about his involvement in this matter. She wanted to ask him first before making any decision.
Shaking her head, she replied vaguely, "I only remember that I started to feel repulsed by normal food after I woke up from my coma."
Fu Zhengde heard about the destruction of Yunshan Base and the rumor about her death. "Comrade Feng, if I recall correctly, you went into a coma because you were attacked by an assassin back then."
Feng Xiu nodded and replied, "I was stabbed 3 times, and I was sent to the operating room. When I woke up, it was already 1 week later. So, I’m not sure what happened during this period."
After hearing her words, Fu Zhengde was lost in deep thought. A few minutes later, he asked, "Comrade Feng, has the assassin been captured?"
"No. The assassin is a dual ability-user. He is not only a metal-type ability-user but is also able to shape-shift. Until today, no one knows his real gender or appearance."
Hearing this, Fu Zhengde looked disappointed. If they could catch the assassin, they might be able to find out the source of the mutant DNA and find a solution.
"Comrade Feng, without the source of the mutant DNA, we are unable to find a solution to help you with the mutation. Right now, we can only observe the situation and wait. As for the rest, it has to depend on yourself."
Feng Xiu had already guessed this result, so she was calm. She nodded and replied, "I understand. Professor Fu, thank you for your help."
Since he still had a lot of things to do, the old man left and returned to his laboratory. As for Feng Xiu, she re-read the test result, checked her watch, and continued her exercises.
At 4 o’clock in the evening, Rong Qinyu returned from outside. Today, he and his team went on a mission to hunt a mutant animal. Due to the increase in mutant animals, the bases issued several missions to hunt them down.
Because his girlfriend was unable to use her ability, he decided to join another mercenary group. Thanks to his combat skills and ability, he was highly regarded by the Captain.
