In fact, she had figured it out belatedly. Su gave her so much because he wanted her to walk the right path and at least work harder on saving the world. But he never asked for anything verbally, it was just an expectation that he didn't force her to do anything.
But that's exactly what Anqi falls for.
……
"Another reason for the hard drive to break? Oh, this is so troublesome!"
In the laboratory's lounge, Cocolia was flipping through a medical report, crossing her legs, and muttering impatiently.
Initially the main quest was survival, but now it is about becoming stronger and surviving. Fighting the collapse has always been a side quest that you can do or not. If you are confident, do it. If not, stay away from it. Anyway, the theater of domination is very large, and the scenery is also very good now, enough to support you in your old age.
However, as the storyline progresses, the reasons to save the world keep increasing. If this continues, won't there really be a day when she will have to risk her life to save the world?
"Ok?"
Xing, who was doing her junior high school homework next to her, couldn't help but look back. She didn't hear what Cocolia was muttering, so she shrugged her shoulders and continued to work on her math problems while biting the tip of her pen.
At this time, a pale young man, holding on to the wall, walked into the house with difficulty.
"Hey! Lady Cocolia, what are the results of my medical examination?"
"Oh, the bad news is that you only have half a year left. The good news is that I still have a way. I will try my best to extend your life. After all, you are a rare guinea pig."
"..."
Chen Tianwu sat down opposite Cocolia. On the loose sleeves of his hospital gown, there were some purple lines that looked like they were broken and corroded. It was the countdown to death.
He shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing for a moment whether to lament his own misfortune first, or to remain silent about Cocolia's heartlessness.
"Although this is not the first day I have known you, can't you please take my feelings into consideration?"
"It's none of my business, you have nothing to do with me!"
"Then at least, please don't tell Tianwen yet."
"Of course, she's my new daughter!"
Cocolia put down the report and puffed out her chest with confidence.
Being a mother is indeed addictive, especially since Chen Tianwen is a smart, polite and cute girl - forget about Chen Tianwu, he doesn't need an eldest son and has no interest in him.
Chen Tianwu's mouth twitched, and after a while he calmed down, and then he suppressed the countless MMPs in his heart with the reason that "this is the lifesaver of my brother and sister". He said:
"How's the astronomy going?"
"It's OK. She's much stronger than you. She's suppressed it. I'm sure I can cure her."
Cocolia said confidently.
The brother and sister were both survivors of the Manila collapse, rescued from the central area of the battlefield. Chen Tianwu suffered severe damage from the collapse, and Chen Tianwen naturally could not escape either.
It was Cocolia who sent the Iron Column to rescue them, and it was also her decision that allowed the siblings to receive timely treatment, ultimately saving their lives. In this case, Cocolia was truly a great benefactor to them.
Therefore, Chen Tianwu would never care about the cold and ruthless expression on Cocolia's face. On the contrary, after hearing that Chen Tianwen's condition was stable, his gratitude had reached the level of being willing to take a bullet for someone else, without any diluted feeling.
"Then I'm relieved. If this dying body can be of any use, please arrange it. I will cooperate 100%."
"Don't be so rude, I won't fall for it. Anyway, I can still help you stay stable for a while. When I'm ready, there's an experiment for you to participate in. I can cure you."
Cocolia rubbed her temples to relieve her fatigue from work.
And Xing suddenly raised her head and asked:
"Is it the experiment in the orphanage?"
Because Chen Tianwen is her new sister and is relatively normal and helpful, Xing also paid some attention to her.
Cocolia hesitated for a moment. It was not the same thing. The Jackal was already researching the serum that could eliminate the damage caused by the collapse. If they could find a time to kidnap Dr. Maki and read his brain, it would be a sure thing. Therefore, the X-10 experiment was meaningless.
The current goal is to give birth to the Herrscher of the Rock and then seize Chen Tianwu's power. However, this matter cannot be explained, so after a moment of silence, Cocolia nodded.
Xing pouted unhappily, looked at Chen Tianwu with a squint, and said:
"That was an experiment that Mom conducted to find a cure for Melancholia. So far, the results have only been able to delay the onset of the disease. So there's a high chance you'll die. Remember to leave a will in advance."
"If this is an experiment, I will definitely try my best to hold on until you are ready."
A smile appeared on Chen Tianwu's face.
The experiment was conducted to treat collapsing disease, which means that the results of the experiment will be helpful for Chen Tianwen's treatment. As a brother, it is really the best thing for him to die like this.
"Silly roe deer, you don't know that I want your power, and I want you to be a tool to bear the cost."
"However, since you have cooperated so well, I will try to improve your food."
Cocolia looked at the cheerful Chen Tianwu, and a kind light of care for a fool appeared in her eyes.
Chapter 153: Anna, I beat the gray Japanese
After the physical examination, Chen Tianwu had to continue today's treatment, so he didn't sit for long and soon returned to the ward.
He watched as the doctor, or researcher, inserted various needles into his body as usual, and the blood flowed through the transparent tubes into an unknown device and then returned to his body.
Chen Tianwu once asked curiously, is this dialysis?
The researcher smiled and said, of course it’s not that simple.
Then he proudly explained to him for several hours about things like collapse energy loop structure, bio-adaptability, dissolution backlash mechanism, etc. Anyway, he could understand every word, but when they were put together, it became a mystery that he couldn't understand.
Later, Chen Tianwu gave up his understanding. Anyway, he just lay down and let them do what they wanted. As long as he knew that after each treatment, he would feel relaxed for a day or two, at least he would feel much more energetic and could spend more time talking to Chen Tianwen, that was enough.
However, halfway through today's treatment, a mobile bed was pushed in, with a beautiful girl with long chestnut hair and a dazed expression lying on it.
Chen Tianwu tilted his head, watching the other person being fed drugs and injected with an expressionless face, and then he remembered:
"Hey, you're not that... that... Miss Anne, right?"
"It's Anna, Anna Shaniat!"
The other party glanced at Chen Tianwu, then retorted weakly.
Chen Tianwu was embarrassed for a moment.
Then, with a friendly attitude as a fellow patient, Chen Tianwu changed the subject and said:
"Why are you here? You look badly injured."
"I was tired of moving steel bars and screwing screws on the construction site, and when the foreman told me that their Titan mecha had a major update, I volunteered to help them test it."
"Well, what I'm asking is..."
"Then, I was kicked hundreds of meters away by a mecha that was several dozen meters tall."
"..."
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Chen Tianwu couldn't help but imagine the scene. It was surprisingly clear and vivid, as if he was there.
He looked at Anna, who was full of doubt and despair, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but after hesitating and then stopping, he finally asked dryly:
"So, are you still alive?"
"Alive, thank you."
"Is that so? Congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha."
"Ah."
Anna closed her eyes expressionlessly.
Chen Tianwu was speechless.
In the original world line, Chen Tianwu fell in love with Anna because she reached out to him in a desperate situation. This unrepeatable experience instantly broke through his heart. It is hard to say how pure this love is, otherwise it would not have deteriorated instantly after knowing the truth about Chen Tianwen.
In the current world line, Chen Tianwu was picked up from the ruins by a giant mecha. The huge, mighty, and domineering Titan BT that satisfied all the boy's fantasies even crushed the head of the Avalon with one hand while picking him up. The image of the mecha was deeply engraved in his heart.
After that scene, the beautiful girl Anna who was picked up by the mecha was no longer important. Chen Tianwu only wanted to know if he could drive that kind of mecha - even if it was a smaller model, as long as it was a powerful mecha.
Until now, they are just strangers who met by chance.
Chen Tianwu didn't even know why Anna was brought to the Anti-Entropy East China Sea Base. Anna just silently sympathized with Chen Tianwu's condition. That was the extent of their relationship.
So after a moment of embarrassment, there was nothing more to say.
……
Anna's injuries are all physical. With Anti-Entropy's technological level and the Valkyrie's physical condition, it is not difficult to deal with them.
When she walked out of the ward with crutches, Chen Tianwu's "dialysis" was only halfway done.
Anna casually said goodbye to the patient and walked out of the room. She saw a tall, silver-haired ice beauty leaning against the door - Kerla, the captain of the Iron Column, who nodded and agreed to let Anna take the test and brought her to the hospital.
Kerla lifted Anna's arm, supported her body, frowned and said:
"Are you an A-rank Valkyrie?"
"Yes……"
"I met a B-rank female warrior named An Qi in the battle against Chi You. She was able to fight against the out-of-control Ji Lin with a sword, and even managed to hold her own for a short period of time. So, I thought that A-rank was enough to suppress BT."
"I...I...I've been working on the construction site for too long. My fighting skills are rusty and I'm tired! Anyway...anyway, I am indeed an A-rank Valkyrie with a certificate!"
Anna blushed and stammered in explanation in front of the ice beauty who had a puzzled look on her face, trying to maintain some dignity.
Fortunately, the old man nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.
Instead, she said:
"After you rest for a few days, can you continue to help us with the test? Using a powerful Valkyrie to conduct performance tests is something we have always wanted but has found difficult to do."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Anna remembered herself standing on the field with full confidence, and then the huge mecha rushed in front of her with a bang. She didn't even have time to react, and the world in front of her was replaced by the foot that kicked at the speed of light.
Anna's face suddenly turned pale, she started coughing non-stop, and cold sweat broke out.
After a while, she tried to smile:
"Well, I think the work on the construction site is pretty good, and the foreman misses me. Maybe next time, we'll talk about it next time."
"Is that so? That's a pity."
Kerla spoke calmly, without any regret in her voice, but she didn't force anything either.
She just secretly looked at Anna's relieved expression with a gloomy look in her eyes.
'Chen Tianwu has no choice, but Anna, how can we send her to the laboratory smoothly? I don't think it's a good idea. The little girl is quite cute and has a good personality.'
"Otherwise, will Cocolia be blamed again?"
'Is it the fault of the black pot? It's a matter of our conscience!'
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, just detain him first and we'll talk about it later."
The angels were discussing it, but Anna knew nothing about it.
With the help of Kerla, Anna returned to her room.
This is a warm and comfortable single room. The pink main color and cute decorations make one never imagine that the person living here is a captive prisoner of the lower class.
Anna lay down on her comfortable bed. Turning her head slightly, she could see her Valkyrie armor hanging in the closet. She was not wearing any extra shackles. There was only a black collar around her neck. It was said that it would explode if she left the base, but——
"Is this really not just a decoration? It's actually quite pretty."
Anna muttered.
She has slowly come to understand her position.
Destiny had played a dirty trick on the leader of Anti-Entropy, so Anti-Entropy fought back to save face - and she, Anna Shaniat, was that face.
"Unfortunately..."
Although she said this, Anna actually had no complaints.
The Manila collapse caught her team off guard, and just when they saw that the entire city and their incompetent defenders were about to collapse, the Iron Ranger team came down from the sky and destroyed all the threats with great ease.
Although she was taken back as a "face saver" after she revealed her last name, she was lucky enough to see her teammates who were all safe and sound before she left, and she did not experience any abuse afterwards.
The only uncomfortable thing was that Anti-Entropy put forward the slogan of not supporting idle people and sent her to work as a laborer at a construction site.
Now she can do everything from plastering to carrying steel bars. People praise her every day for her ability, saying she is capable of doing the job of a hundred people!
"Although everything is fine, it has been several months. How come there is still no news? When will the Bishop and Yulandel remember to redeem me? Have they forgotten me?"
Anna held her head, feeling increasingly apprehensive about her future.
