There were no experimental products at the scene. This meant that the most important thing before this place was broken through had long been moved away. This matter would involve a lot of people. Xu Kui naturally could not make the decision alone. Therefore, after collecting the information on the scene, he led the team and left.
At the very least, no one would go missing for the time being. This was the only thing Xu Kui could do within his ability. But he had been thinking about where this force that was secretly helping him came from and why it was helping him.
More importantly, this force had never appeared from the beginning to the end, nor had it revealed any flaws. It was completely traceless.
Xu Kui had never thought of an answer. After peacekeeping, he led the team back to the country. Not long after, he found out about Xu Jiajia’s matter. Only then did he rush to the hospital in a hurry, resulting in what happened later.
However, the reason why Xu Kui was so abnormal at this moment was because a very bold hypothesis suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could the person who secretly helped him dismantle the laboratory be his daughter, Xu Jiajia?
There was no laboratory with a genetic reactor in Great Xia. Hence, if it was in Great Xia, Xu Jiajia would definitely not be exposed to genetic radiation.
Xu Kui clearly remembered that the explosion caused by the laboratory he had broken through previously was because the genetic experiment reactor had ruptured. The radiation caused by this genetic experimental reactor would not last long in the natural environment outside the human body. However, once this radiation entered the body, it would continuously corrode all the genetic sequences in the body like a virus.
Due to the fact that Xu Kui and the others had entered later, most of the genetic radiation had actually dissipated. However, if someone had been in the range of the explosion at that time, their bodies would definitely have been attacked by the radiation, and such a situation would have happened like what happened to Xu Jiajia.
This thought made Xu Kui break out in a cold sweat. As he told himself that all of this was a hypothesis, another voice in his heart told him that there was no other more reasonable explanation.
Xu Kui, who had mixed feelings, felt suffocated. With a heavy heart, he kept pacing back and forth in the corridor. Finally, his gaze landed on the door of Xu Jiajia’s ward.
Xu Kui gently pushed open Xu Jiajia’s door and walked into the ward. Xu Jiajia, who was getting weaker by the day, opened her eyes with some effort. When she saw Xu Kui, Xu Jiajia even revealed a weak smile. “Dad, don’t worry about me. It’ll be fine ”
Without a word, Xu Kui came to Xu Jiajia’s side and sat down, carefully tucking in the corners. Then, the two of them fell into a short silence. Xu Jiajia sensed that something was wrong with Xu Kui’s condition, but she only thought that Xu Kui was worried about him, so she kept comforting him, wanting him to rest assured.
However, a moment later, Xu Kui’s words stunned Xu Jiajia.
“Daughter, I’m confused. Many things that should have attracted my attention happened a few years ago, but I’ve never thought too deeply about this matter. Because I’ve always treated you as a daughter who needs protection, I’ve never dared to think about you when it comes to dangerous things.
“But now, this thought had already appeared and could not be forgotten. You’re being silly. Dad’s a soldier. It’s Dad’s job to go through fire and water for an order. But you’re not a soldier. You should live without worries, not put yourself in danger because you’re worried about me.”
Xu Kui’s dull words entered Xu Jiajia’s ears, causing a trace of surprise to flash across her eyes. She quickly felt relieved. Because she knew her father, Xu Jiajia was not surprised that Xu Kui had thought of something.
If Xu Jiajia had any emotions now, it might be because she felt that now was not the time. However, at this point, Xu Jiajia sighed softly. “Dad ”
Before Xu Jiajia could say anything, Xu Kui interrupted her. “Daughter, there’s no need to say anything. I didn’t say anything just now. I’ll think of a way. I’ll save you at all costs.”
Xu Kui looked at Xu Jiajia seriously. As Xu Jiajia finally nodded gently, Xu Kui’s heart was about to break. Although he had already thought of the truth, Xu Jiajia’s nod was equivalent to tacit agreement to all of this. This made Xu Kui blame himself.
However, Xu Jiajia did not regret it at all. She knew very well that the situation at that time was urgent. If she did not help, Xu Kui and even the team he led might be in danger.
Xu Jiajia had no complaints about the price she had to pay. She did not speak to Xu Kui anymore. The atmosphere in the ward seemed to have frozen. Even now, Xu Kui could not believe his judgment. However, Xu Jiajia’s reaction had imperceptibly confirmed everything.
He did not talk much about this matter, and Xu Jiajia did not mention anything about it. This matter became a secret in the hearts of the two of them. Xu Kui was unwilling to think too much about it.
