Chapter 176 A ray of light

Jiang Wan wasn't sure. She didn't have sophisticated instruments to test Zhou Ji's various indicators. She could only rely on her feelings. What if it failed? If the nuclear crystal was suitable for animals but not for humans, Zhou Ji would die.

, she was betting on whether the experiment would be successful, and she was betting on Zhou Ji's life.

"I do."

"Zhou Ji." Jiang Wan walked to him with a serious look on her face, "I don't know what the outcome will be. You will probably die. If you give up now, with your current physique and ability, you will have no problem making a living in such an extreme environment.

Yes, you will live well."

"But." Zhou Ji stroked the broken hair from Jiang Wan's cheek, "In that case, what reason should I give to stay with you?"

He was also a young man, young and full of youth. When his life was the most difficult and helpless, Jiang Wan shone into his life like a ray of light. How could he be willing to leave this light?

"I want to be your partner. No matter what the future holds, I want to stand by your side."

He wants to protect this light!

Jiang Wan's heart trembled slightly, "Don't regret it? Even if it means death?"

"I don't regret it, it was my own choice."

"Okay." Jiang Wan took out the glowing red nuclear crystal from her arms and handed it to Zhou Ji, "Eat it."

Zhou Ji took the ruby ​​​​from Jiang Wan's hand, looked at it back and forth, and looked at Jiang Wan again with a very complicated expression.

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong? If you regret it now, it's still too late."

"No, I was thinking, when you said I was likely to die, did you mean that I was likely to get stuck in my throat and choke to death with this stone?"

Jiang Wan didn't expect that he could say such words. At such a life-or-death moment, he could still joke and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'm not sure. If you were choked to death, your death would indeed be a bit unfair." Jiang Wan teased him.

The core crystal was as big as the thumb, and the shape was an elongated rhombus. Jiang Wan thought that if he ate it vertically, it wouldn't be able to stick, and it would be swallowable by both small dolls and corpse-eating rats.

Seeing Jiang Wan smile, Zhou Ji no longer hesitated and swallowed the core crystal. When Jiang Wan saw his action, her brows raised again. The critical moment of the experiment had arrived.

"Follow me." Jiang Wan took Zhou Ji home.

The process of absorbing nuclear crystal energy is not instantaneous. It may take a few days or a week to slowly integrate into the body.

During this period of time, Jiang Wan needed to watch him all the time and record the process. If it failed, she would at least know where the failure was. If it succeeded, she would have to figure out what else needed attention.

As soon as Jiang Wan opened the door, coconuts and little idols rushed towards her like arrows. Jiang Wan clenched her palms into fists and gestured in front of her to warn them not to come. The two little cuties braked actively and ran to Jiang Wan to act coquettishly.

Zhou Ji followed Jiang Wan and stared at it. He had seen a coconut as big as a tiger a few times, but what was going on with this ragdoll cat that looked like a lamb?

Thinking about Jiang Wan's exaggerated strength, he felt that both animals and people in this family were very perverted.

"Mom, I have a friend who may be staying at our house for a few days. Is there any room available?" Jiang Wan entered the living room and saw Jiang's mother lying on the sofa, eating fruit and watching a movie.

Father Jiang was sleeping soundly next to him, so he must have gone into some space. Nai Jiang might be in the vegetable garden above. Jiang Wan has been clearing her vegetable garden these past few days. Nai Jiang was worried and would go up to take a look from time to time.

When Jiang's mother heard that there was a visitor, she quickly sat up and saw a 1.8-meter tall young man following Jiang Wan. He was fair and handsome. She walked around Jiang Wan and said hello, "Come on, come inside."

sit."

Jiang's mother pulled Zhou Ji to sit on the sofa. When she saw Jiang's father snoring next to her, she quickly explained, "Her father is very sleepy. You don't need to worry about him. Come and eat some fruit."

Jiang Ma poured another glass of water for Zhou Ji and pulled Jiang Wan aside, "Isn't this guy from the charcoal factory? Zhuo Ye said that you often go to deliver food to him. Did you bring him back today for us to see? Look.

Look at you, you didn't tell me in advance, your dad slept like a dead pig, how rude."

"Mom, I'm just a friend. It's not what you think. Stop guessing." Jiang Wan didn't dare to tell Jiang Ma and the others the truth.

If they knew that Jiang Wan was doing human experiments on an innocent person, they would probably die. I think Jiang's mother would be so angry that she would hit her to death with a brick first.

"Okay, I'm embarrassed to say it. I understand. You hurry into the space and call your dad to talk to others. I'll prepare lunch and entertain the guests. By the way, are there any taboos? Can the vegetables at home be allowed?

Take it out and eat it?" Mother Jiang was so happy that she turned to look at Zhou Ji who was sitting upright on the sofa. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

"It doesn't matter, just do what we usually eat."

The fact that she was able to grow plants was soon to be revealed to the public. There was no need to hide it now. It wouldn't have mattered if Zhou Ji had known about it for a few days.

"Okay." Mother Jiang asked Jiang Nai to come down and accompany the guests while she went to cook.

Jiang Nai was very happy when she saw Zhou Ji. She sat next to Zhou Ji and asked her where she lived now, who else was in the family, and what kind of education she had.

"I live in a resettlement center, I have no relatives at home, and I haven't graduated from college yet." Zhou Ji was a little nervous and answered Jiang Nai's question honestly.

"Oh." Jiang Nai felt pity for the child, and felt happy at the same time. Being able to go to college means that he is a learned person, worthy of her eldest granddaughter.

"Are you still going to work in the charcoal factory these two days?" Jiang Nai asked again.

This time it was Jiang Wan who took the talking, "I won't go. He's not feeling well. The environment at the resettlement center is not good and it's still cold. Let him come to our house to recuperate for a few days."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Nai bared her teeth happily and looked at Zhou Ji wearing a cotton-padded jacket with holes in it. It looked very thin at first glance, which made her feel distressed. What should she do if she is so young and frozen?

Jiang Nai asked Jiang Wan to boil hot water, then she said hello to Zhou Ji and went out.

Jiang Wan took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to boil water and called out to Jiang's father. After seeing Zhou Ji, they started chatting again.

This made Zhou Ji very confused. This family must be too enthusiastic.

He has been very nervous since he entered this door. The flames are burning in the fireplace, the lights on the roof are bright, the TV is playing on the small tablet nearby, and there are fresh fruits on the table. Everything in the living room is no different from before the apocalypse.

.

In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to the beautiful world before the end of the world.

But the holes in his clothes, his hands stained with dust, and the dirt he stepped on on the floor all reminded him that he could never go back.

Seeing Jiang Wan's family members busy with each other and chatting a few words from time to time, his eyes felt numb for a moment. He had such a beautiful family before.

"You can treat this place as your home from now on. You don't need to be so formal." Father Jiang spoke to Zhou Ji with a smile.

He was so happy that his daughter, who had been single for more than 20 years, finally blossomed and knew that she was bringing a young man back.

Jiang Nai came back from outside with a large pile of things and called Zhou Ji to take a look, "Here are slippers, cotton shoes, underwear, pajamas, thermal clothes, cotton clothes, bath towels, towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste cups, they are all here.

Later you go take a hot bath to get rid of the cold so that we can eat."

Zhou Ji's eyes were numb, "Thank you, grandma."

"Oh, just call grandma." Jiang Nai took the things she needed to the bathroom and pointed to the bathtub of hot water that Jiang Wan had just prepared. "Go, take a bath and put on warm clothes. I

Go and clean your room."

Zhou Ji stood in the clean bathroom holding his clothes, still a little unable to recover. The resettlement house where he lived was dirty, noisy, cold, and chaotic. It was clean and tidy, with water and electricity. They were obviously two similar places. Why?

Living such completely different lives.

He admired Jiang Wan even more. Being able to maintain such a life in such an extreme environment is enough to show that this family is not simple.

Jiang Wan looked at the busy family, sitting on the sofa and pouting, "How come you are closer to him than to your own daughter?"

Father Jiang imitated her and pouted, "Why don't you have any idea? How difficult can it be to fall in love? Wouldn't it be better to get it back as soon as possible?"

Jiang Wan: You can think whatever you want. Anyway, I won’t lose any skin. If I let you know about the human experiment, I will lose some skin.

"Xiaowan, Xiaowan."

Jiang Wan heard the shouting outside the door. When she went out to see, my uncle, uncle and his family were all here.

"Just now your grandma went to my house to get a lot of things for men. Zhuo Ye came back and said that you took Zhou Ji away, so she knew something was going on. Let's come over to see how the young man is doing, and welcome him to become a part of our family."

Yang Lifu shouted excitedly when he was far away.

Jiang Wan was so big now that she didn't even want to explain that she was a friend, because no one believed her anyway.

Father Jiang welcomed them into the house and said, "Don't leave today. Stay to eat and accompany the guests."

"Okay, I still have two bottles of good wine hidden there. Xingwen, go get them. Let's celebrate today." Second uncle Yang Lixin joined in the fun.

Yang Xingwen went to get the wine, while Zhao Qin, Wang Ling, Yang Zhuoye and Yang Zhuoying stood aside and watched the fun. Only Jiang Wan huddled on the sofa and watched them make fun. This happiness has nothing to do with her, this is the happiness you made out of nothing.

Zhao Qinle said, "You don't know. I heard Zhuo Ye say that when the two of them were fighting in the charcoal factory, I was shocked. I was afraid that Xiao Wan would suffer. Who would have thought that after the fight, I would take him home. What a child's temper.

Let’s make peace after it’s over.”

Zhao Qin's original intention was to remind Jiang Dad and let him take a good look at the young man. No matter what, he couldn't do anything with Xiao Wan if something happened!

Who knew that when Father Jiang heard this, he turned to look at Jiang Wan and poked her head, "What the hell? Did you hit someone? Aren't you a bully? What if you finally find a boyfriend and then he beats her away?"

?”

Others are afraid that Jiang Wan will suffer a loss, but Father Jiang and the others know their daughter well and are afraid that Jiang Wan will be beaten up again.
