Chapter 295: News
Thinking about that scene from before, they felt dumbfounded and did not know what to say.
Even now, there was no way to reverse the mutation or even slow it down.
The only thing that people could do was kill the mutated humans and burn their corpses so as to reduce their suffering and reduce the chance of them infecting others.
But what had they seen now?
A terminal stage mutation had been saved, and in such a shocking manner too.
"How… How can he do such a thing…"
Standing in front of the control desk and looking at the scenes on the screen, the man in charge muttered to himself in shock.
"Wait…" he suddenly realized something, "If it's like that…"
He quickly thought of some things.
The things on the screen had proved something: the Protagonist had the power to reverse mutations and save mutated humans.
If that was the case, could he do similar things for other creatures?
For example, for those mutated creatures, could he completely destroy them?
Right now, the thing troubling humanity the most was those mutated creatures' powerful vitality.
They did not seem to have any weaknesses and could quickly adapt to resist any kind of power.
It was because of this that humanity could not deal with those mutated creatures and had to retreat underground.
In that case, could the Protagonist's power completely destroy those mutated creatures?
Right now, no one knew the answer.
However, what was clear was that if they could research and understand the Protagonist's power, it would be a massive advantage for humanity.
At the very least, the problem of the environment corrupting humans would be resolved.
Just then, the middle-aged man had clearly seen that under the white light, the mutated human had not only returned to normal but all of her injuries had disappeared as if she had never been hurt.
Those changes had happened in just a few moments.
Just what kind of power was this, and what were the principles behind it.
At that moment, many people thought the same thing.
"Sir…"
A researcher deeply breathed in and said, "I suggest that we should open the passageway and receive the Protagonist.
"If we can research his power, it will be of great importance to humanity. Moreover, facing mass mutations, the Protagonist's healing skills will be of critical importance."
The power that Chen Heng had displayed was incredibly great, and it could cause people's hearts to tremble.
However, his ability to heal mutated humans was even more shocking.
There was not a single person who would not want this kind of ability.
As government researchers, they knew far more than ordinary people and understood more what this meant for humanity.
This meant hope and a future, as well as the possibility of getting rid of the mutated creatures.
Even if it was just a possibility, it was worth it for them to pay a great price to open the passageway and receive the Protagonist.
At that moment, many researchers looked at the person in charge, all making the same request.
Evidently, they were all very serious.
Standing there and looking at these people, the middle-aged man felt a bit surprised before nodding and saying seriously, "I will make the application to the higher-ups. As long as it is allowed, I will personally lead a team to bring him in."
Facing this kind of situation, everyone was quite shocked.
It was not just the researchers and experts; the ordinary people were dumbfounded as well.
"What did I just see?"
"Was it a miracle?"
"Before, someone said that this was a Savior sent by god. I didn't believe them, but now I do."
"This definitely isn't something that a mere human can do!"
All kinds of discussions sounded out.
As these discussions went on, Chen Heng gained more and more faith energy.
Chen Heng could clearly sense that in just a short period of time, the faith threads he possessed had almost doubled.
Moreover, they were still quickly increasing.
Although they were not increasing as quickly as before, he did not mind and continued to look ahead.
By now, the girl's face had returned to normal, but she had fallen unconscious.
The Divine Skill's healing had already caused her to recover, but because of her prolonged exhaustion, she had fallen asleep.
This was just an ordinary sleep and she would soon wake up.
Looking at the girl's clothes covered with blood, Chen Heng shook his head and picked her up before putting her in a bath.
There were still many clothes in the base. Although most of them were clothes for men, there were still some clothes for women, owing to this body's mother.
After this body's mother had passed away, those things did not have an owner anymore and were only taken out by Chen Heng again now.
Following this, he walked into the bathroom and ran some hot water.
Of course, the satellite did not broadcast any of this.
After doing this, Chen Heng walked to another region and took out some things, preparing to make some food.
After a few moments, he stopped his actions and looked to the side, where a person had walked out.
Ahead, a girl's figure was illuminated by the lights.
She wore a white dress, and even though her face was still somewhat pale, there was now some color to it.
Compared to her savage appearance from before, she looked more like an ordinary person now and had cute and delicate looks.
She looked like she was in her early twenties.
"Have a seat," Chen Heng said as he nodded, "Lunch is ready, and you can eat. I have some questions for you after you've eaten."
Hearing his words, the girl stared for a moment before nodding.
She obediently sat down but stared at Chen Heng as if she was thinking of something.
In front of her, the aroma of the bowl of noodles wafted towards her.
Looking at the noodles, the girl could not help but begin to eat.
After a while, Chen Heng once again looked at her.
"Who are you?" he asked with a calm expression.
"I'm a survivor, just like you…" the girl fell silent for a moment before replying, "I am… Professor Qi Jue's student…"
Hearing this, Chen Heng looked at her in surprise.
The name Qi Jue was quite important to this body's previous identity—he was his father.
It was because of his father's care that this body had been able to live until now.
Before, his father seemed to have discovered something new and took the risk to go outside of this base.
Even now, there was not any news from him.
"You are my father's student?" Chen Heng asked as he looked at the girl.
Hearing this, the girl's body stiffened as she instinctively lowered her head, not daring to meet Chen Heng's gaze.
However, she soon raised her head and said hurriedly, "I have evidence of this."
As she spoke, she hurriedly took out something.
It was a very beautiful necklace and seemed to be made out of a unique metal.
Seeing this necklace, Chen Heng frowned and felt a sense of familiarity.
Before, his father had greatly treasured this necklace and always kept it with him no matter what.
It was his most precious thing.
So why was this in her hands?
Chen Heng thought to himself as he looked at the girl, waiting for an answer.
Under his gaze, the girl fell silent for a moment before saying, "I brought your father's last words…"
Sitting there, the girl looked a bit hesitant as she said, "Your father… has passed away…"
