Qin Jiu was silent for a moment, but in the end he said nothing and left.

For Fei Qixia, what could be more important than the second and third laboratories?

Qin Jiu had a vague guess, a guess that had been around for a long time.

There might be some minor problems in the ghostly First Laboratory that forced him to deal with it.

And no one here knows the existence of that laboratory.

When she left the laboratory, she happened to meet Xiao Qingyue who had already changed her clothes and came out.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of casual shorts, exactly the same as Li Ke was wearing when he left the cabin.

Xiao Qingyue felt Qin Jiu's gaze, he looked at himself a little embarrassedly, and then asked: "Isn't it strange? I don't care much about wearing these, the clothes are all bought on the 14th, his taste is just like that."

Qin Jiu nodded to show his understanding.

After all, she had spent some time with Li Ke during the days when Xiao Qingyue was asleep, and she already knew clearly that Li Ke's hobbies were completely opposite to his appearance.

It was amazing that Xiao Qingyue could find a normal piece of clothing among his pile of clothes with teddy bear patterns.

Xiao Qingyue coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Have you seen No. 14?"

Qin Jiu hummed, sounding a little unhappy.

"Yes, but he doesn't seem to be in good condition."

"It's not just not good, he's dying." Xiao Qingyue's tone was very cold, as if she didn't care at all that her friend was about to die.

Even though Qin Jiu already knew that the two had lost their basic sense of right and wrong during their time with Baihu, and had completely accepted Baihu's set of judgment standards, and that they had no reverence for life, when he heard Xiao Qingyue's tone, Qin Jiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even if their best friend is about to die, to them it is just a process of useless waste being eliminated.

Qin Jiu's face showed deep worry, and she shook her head and sighed repeatedly.

This behavior puzzled Xiao Qingyue, so he asked, "Are you worried about Subject No. 14?"

Qin Jiu nodded and asked, "What about you? Aren't you worried at all?"

Xiao Qingyue shrugged and said, "Useless trash should be abandoned. Everyone here is the same. Even if I exchanged my current situation and position with him, he would have the same idea as me."

Qin Jiu did not doubt his words, but...

"So what? Do you think this is right? You are a living person, but you have to be eliminated just because you are useless to the organization? Don't you think it's pathetic? Don't you want to live? Are you denying your own value?"

Xiao Qingyue was frightened by Qin Jiujiu's series of questions. He was speechless for a moment and seemed to be lost in thought.

This was the first time he could remember hearing someone mention his own value.

In the past, when people mentioned him, they only knew that he was Subject No. 15, and his purpose in life was to help the laboratory achieve their goals.

It is also a sacrifice for the evolution of all mankind.

This is the whole meaning of his life.

Is this right?

Doesn't he want to exist as an independent individual?

No, he should be an obedient experimental subject...

It should be like this...

But when he spoke again, he was obviously lacking in confidence: "Everyone is like this... I am no exception, I..."

"Xiao Qingyue."

Xiao Qingyue was stunned and looked around in confusion.

There are only two of them here. Who is Qin Jiu calling?

Moreover, in the base, he seemed to have never heard of anyone named Xiao Qingyue?

Seeing Xiao Qingyue's confusion, Qin Jiu took the initiative to explain: "This is your name, your name is Xiao Qingyue."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyue froze in place. He opened his mouth and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"I... have a name?"

"Well, you're not called No. 15. You have a name. A very nice name."

Qin Jiu smiled and continued, "And your partner, No. 14, is called Li Ke. You and him..."

She couldn't help but smile as she recalled how these two people had been competing against each other at the pet care shop, and were even hyped up for first and second place on the popularity list.

It’s been less than half a year, but it feels like it was last century.

Qin Jiu: "You and he used to have a good relationship."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyue's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

For the first time, he began to doubt his identity. He asked, "Wasn't I a member of the base from the beginning?"

Qin Jiu was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

After thinking it over, she decided not to tell them their identities.

Perhaps at this stage, it is better to let them live in confusion than to tell them the truth.

When Xiao Qingyue heard Qin Jiu suddenly stop talking, he subconsciously wanted to ask more questions.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side, and both of them paused.

"What are you talking about?"

The voice was filled with deep fatigue, and it seemed that the person had not had enough rest for a long time.

Qin Jiu turned around suddenly and looked at Fei Qixia who was walking towards them.

Xiao Qingyue respectfully called "Mr. Fei", but Qin Jiu said nothing.

Fei Qixia's gaze was always on Qin Jiu. He didn't even look at Xiao Qingyue, but just waved his hand impatiently.

Xiao Qingyue lowered her eyes and left, leaving Qin Jiu and Fei Qixia where they were.

Fei Qixia seemed to have infinite interest in Qin Jiu. He looked Qin Jiu up and down and asked, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Qin Jiu nodded in response.

Fei Qixia: "How did you come back?"

Qin Jiu raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Fei Qixia.

Fei Qixia asked for his location information a few days ago, and now he openly wants to know his whereabouts. Why?

Clearly, he didn't care about where I went before and was very indulgent towards myself, so why did he suddenly "care" about my whereabouts?

Qin Jiu answered truthfully: "Take a spaceship."

"Oh?" Fei Qixia looked at Qin Jiu with interest, "I thought you would be stupid enough to take the interstellar train?"

Starliners are Federation trains, while spaceships are private transportation.

The biggest difference between the two is that one goes through the federal government’s calculation system and the other does not.

But the disadvantages are also obvious - the cost of spacecraft transportation is almost ten times higher than that of interstellar trains.

Most people will never travel on a spaceship in their lifetime.

Qin Jiu said: "Special circumstances require special treatment. I don't want to cause trouble."

Fei Qixia nodded, agreeing with Qin Jiu's statement.

Qin Jiu's eyes lingered on Fei Qixia's slightly tired face, and she suddenly asked, "Why does Uncle Fei look so tired? I heard that Uncle Fei hasn't been in the Third Laboratory recently? Is there anything else that worries you so much?"

When Fei Qixia heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Qin Jiu might have already confirmed the conjecture about the existence of the First Laboratory, and is now just repeating his own words.

But facing Qin Jiu, who was also hiding something from him, Fei Qixia couldn't completely trust her even though she was Rockoff's daughter.

After all, Qin Jiu has too many so-called ties, and she cannot truly integrate into Baihu. The First Laboratory, which involves Baihu's core secrets, will never be open to her.

As for why she guessed the existence of the First Laboratory, this is also something worth exploring for Fei Qixia.

Especially now that he has confirmed that Qin Jiu is related to Eve's evolution, he is even more curious about how Qin Jiu managed to prompt Eve to evolve.

Fei Qixia smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, you don't have to worry about it. Wormholes have appeared frequently in the interstellar space recently, so you have to pay attention to your own safety."

Qin Jiu knew that she couldn't ask Fei Qixia, the old fox, about the First Laboratory. She nodded and said, "I understand."

Looking at Qin Jiu's receding back, Fei Qixia's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After Qin Jiu left the room, Xiaosha and Guangming kept circling around the cat bag.

The meteors hiding inside can naturally detect something about their behavior from their breath and the sounds they make.

As time went on, Meteor began to have wild thoughts.

——They don’t want to eat themselves, do they?

No! It's a small leopard, not much meat!

That big bat looks scary, it must have set its sights on me!

With this thought in mind, the meteor shook even more violently.

Its uneasy mood has affected the two war beasts outside.

It was the first time that Guangming had seen a war beast that was so afraid of it. After all, from the moment it was taken to Star Emperor and began to come into contact with different war beasts, it had been the object of care by all the war beasts.

Not to mention being afraid of it, if one war beast doesn't give it extra care there will be collective protests from the other war beasts.

This was the first time it doubted Eagle Life.

I don't think I look scary, do I?

Are there any war beasts that are afraid of a blind man?

Xiaosa is knowledgeable and can understand Liuxing's emotions, but he does not agree with Liuxing's actions.

It will eventually have to integrate into the war beast family and it is impossible for it to isolate itself.

He wandered around for a few rounds and suddenly thought of an idea, and waved to the light beside him.

The light could not be seen, so Xiaosha had to go over and lead it away.

The meteor suddenly found that all the sounds outside had disappeared. It moved its ears and listened carefully to the noise outside.

It seems... they are gone?

Liuxing turned his head to look outside the cat bag, and indeed did not see the two flying war beasts in the small scene.

It took two cautious steps, looking around with its golden eyes.

Neither on the left nor on the right.

After confirming that they had indeed left, it bravely pushed open the door of the cat bed and stuck one of its little feet out.

Immediately, a small gray head half popped out of the cat bag, and its ears twitched twice as if trying to catch other sounds.

"Ding."

Suddenly, there was a sound of metal collision behind it. It shrank back suddenly and returned to its original state.

The sound of metal colliding could be heard from time to time, but no other people or animals appeared in his sight.

Its curiosity grew, and it carefully stepped out of the cat bag again.

"Clang!"

There was a scary noise coming from behind the cat bag, but this time Meteor just retracted one foot and did not hide in the innermost part of the cat bag.

It became a little bolder and was very curious about what was happening behind it.

"嘤嘤嘤!!!"

The cry of the Night Emperor Bat suddenly came from behind the cat bag, and the owner of the voice seemed to be in pain.

The voice of another swift eagle was also heard at this moment, and it was anxious to calm the Night Emperor Bat's emotions.

Are they injured?

With this thought, Meteor's inner fear and concern for the two war beasts were in a fierce confrontation.

In the end, concern for them prevailed.

It took a deep breath, gathered its strength, jumped out of the cat bag and ran behind it.

Xiaosha was lying on the ground and saw a little gray ball running out of the cat bag. He quickly looked away, grabbed Guangming's wings and cried "嘤嘤嘤".

The light matched his rhythm and also slapped it in the face.

Chic: …………

Forget it! It’s all about the plan!

There was a sweet smell in the air, like food...

But that's not the point!

The little gray ball finally came to the two of them. It looked at Xiaosha and then looked towards the light.

Xiaosha's body and the floor around him were covered with red liquid. He looked a little weak, as if he had suffered serious injuries.

Meteor let out a low roar, as if asking what was happening.

Xiaosha exerted force with his hands, and the light finally stopped slapping its face. Xiaosha then looked up at the little gray ball "weakly".

Its other hand, hidden behind its back, was raised tremblingly, and in its hand was a can of meat.

It handed the can of meat to the little gray ball and made a "hmm" sound.

Meteor sniffed the can of meat, it smelled like food!

Meteor was a little surprised. It raised its little paw and pointed at itself, as if asking something.

Xiaosha half opened his eyes, a look of pain on his face, and nodded.

The Swift Leopard's eyes suddenly widened, as if it was in great shock.

They had only met for less than half a day, could the big bat already do this for him?

It was actually injured because it was hunting for itself!

No other war beast has ever treated it like this before!

Meteor's eyes turned red, and it was no longer afraid of Xiaosa. It took two steps forward and licked Xiaosa's head.

It is soothing and carefree.

Xiaosha was not moved at this time. He was still worried that Liuxing might accidentally lick the ketchup on the ground. If Liuxing saw through their plan, their plan to get closer to Liuxing might fail.

It tried hard to move its head away from the direction of ketchup, and at the same time hugged Meteor's head and rubbed it gently.

Its wings quickly flapped at Guangming, who was still in a daze beside it. Guangming understood and immediately stepped forward and patted the meteor.

Meteor looked up at Guangming in confusion. Guangming pointed at the food beside him and urged Meteor to eat it quickly and not waste Xiaosha's kindness.

Meteor nodded heavily, walked towards the can and started eating in small bites.

At this moment, Xiaosha, who was facing away from Meteor, suddenly sat up, rolled the prepared bandages around his arms and legs, and then quickly wiped the ketchup on the ground with a rag.

While he was cleaning the ground, he was observing the movements of the meteors.

The meteor never looked up, and Xiaosha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After doing all this, he sat on the small rocking chair that Qin Jiu bought for him, squinting his eyes and continuing to pretend to be weak.

Meteor finally finished eating the can. When it turned around, it found that Xiaosha had bandaged his wound and was sitting on a chair to rest. It was stunned.

This speed seems a bit too fast?
