Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 1197

Zhang Jia could no longer suppress his unease; no matter what, he had to get to the bottom of this.

After Tao Zheng went out to get water, leaving only the two of them in the ward, Zhang Jia held Xiao Sheng's hand, her tone earnest yet gentle:

"Xiao Sheng, I know you're thoughtful and wanted to bring me some delicious food, which makes me very happy. But these things are too expensive. Tell me the truth, where did they come from? Did something happen to you?"

Xiao Sheng lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, still refusing to speak.

Zhang Jia sighed and gently patted his head:

"Xiao Sheng, if you don't tell me, I'll keep worrying. Besides, I don't feel at ease holding these things; I can't eat or sleep."

Tell your sister if someone asked you to do something. If you're having trouble, let's solve it together. Don't carry it all alone, okay?

Her tone was soft and pleading.

Xiao Sheng raised his head, glanced at her, then quickly lowered his head again, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, as if he was struggling with whether or not to speak.

Zhang Jia didn't urge him, but waited quietly.

After a long while, Xiao Sheng slowly raised his head: "There's a PhD who wants to make a deal with me."

"Doctor? Which doctor?" Zhang Jia's heart skipped a beat. There weren't many doctors in the base, and even fewer who could produce so many rare supplies.

"Dr. Lin."

Zhang Jia's eyes widened instantly, and her voice rose slightly: "It's Dr. Lin Weilin? What kind of deal does she want from you?"

Xiao Sheng pursed his lips: "She took several vials of my blood and then gave me these things."

"Blood test?" Zhang Jia's mind went blank for a moment. She sat up abruptly, the wound on her chest was pulled, and she gasped in pain.

She didn't care about the pain at all; her eyes were filled with shock and anger. "What does she want your blood for? Is she going to study you?"

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Xiao Sheng had a talent for recognizing directions, which made him stand out in the apocalypse.

She had been worried that someone would try to take advantage of Xiao Sheng, and she never expected it to actually happen!

Lin Wei's use of this method to obtain Xiao Sheng's blood definitely indicates ill intentions.

"How could you make this kind of deal with her? Drawing blood is so dangerous! What if she does something bad to you?" Zhang Jia was both anxious and angry, her voice trembling slightly.

Tao Zheng happened to come back and heard her excited voice, so he quickly came over: "What's wrong? Is your wound hurting? Don't get excited, tell me slowly."

Zhang Jia leaned against Tao Zheng's chest, her chest heaving. It took her a while to calm down. Pointing at Xiao Sheng, her voice was full of anger: "Lin Wei made a deal with Xiao Sheng. Lin Wei drew his blood and gave him these rare foods!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Zheng's face instantly darkened. He looked at Xiao Sheng with a serious expression: "You really did this with Dr. Lin? How much blood did she draw from you? When did it start?"

Xiao Sheng lowered his head: "I only smoked a few tubes, not much."

Zhang Jia sat there in silence for a long time, his anger growing stronger.

Lin Wei usually seems quite kind, but I never expected her to secretly plot against Xiao Sheng, using food to lure a child into donating blood. That's outrageous.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Sheng, and spoke in a frighteningly serious tone. This was the first time she had spoken so harshly to Xiao Sheng in all the time they had spent together.

"Xiao Sheng, you are not allowed to make any deals with her again! No matter what she gives you, you cannot accept it. Even if it's food in exchange, I will not eat a single bite!"

"Also, if she contacts you again or tries to get close to you again, you must tell me immediately. You can't hide anything from her, understand?"

Xiao Sheng was taken aback by her serious tone. He paused for a moment before slowly nodding and saying, "I understand."

Zhang Jia's anger subsided a little, but the unease in his heart still lingered.

Lin Wei insisted on drawing Xiao Sheng's blood, she must want to study Xiao Sheng's talent, maybe she wants to conduct human experiments, how terrifying!

Tao Zheng, supporting Zhang Jia, was also furious. He frowned and said, "I'm going to go and ask her what she's trying to do, and tell her not to mess with Xiao Sheng again."

Zhang Jia refused outright, saying without even thinking, "No need. You two are too close; it would only make things more difficult later. I'll handle this myself and go find her to clarify things."

She was seething with anger and wished she could confront Lin Wei right now.

But then I thought, Lin Wei is a PhD at the base and has some status. If I go to her without being prepared, I might end up being accused of something.

After thinking it over, Zhang Jia felt that he couldn't act impulsively. He needed to discuss it with someone first. Wanwan was thoughtful and reliable, and she had helped them a lot before. Maybe she could come up with a good solution.

That afternoon, Zhou Shuwan, who had been invited by Tao Zheng, arrived.

Zhang Jia didn't mince words and told the whole story about Lin Wei's deal with Xiao Sheng, and how Lin Wei drew Xiao Sheng's blood in exchange for food.

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh: "I'm really angry. How could Lin Wei do such a thing? Xiao Sheng is still a child. She actually took his blood in this way. She must have had bad intentions."

Zhou Shuwan listened without showing any surprise on her face.

In fact, she had been secretly monitoring Lin Wei these past few days, and naturally she learned about Lin Wei's blood-draining deal with Xiao Sheng.

She's only using blood for research now, and hasn't done anything more outrageous, so I haven't stopped her.

She had been secretly thinking about how to dispel Lin Wei's idea once and for all.

Therefore, it's not appropriate to reveal that you know what she's planning to do!

Seeing Zhang Jia's angry expression, Zhou Shuwan dared not reveal Lin Wei's true intentions, fearing it would make her even more agitated and harm her health. She could only try to comfort her first:

"Don't be too angry, calm down first, your health is the most important thing. Lin Wei did something wrong, but we can't act impulsively. We need to think carefully about how to handle this, otherwise we'll suffer the consequences."

"I know I shouldn't act impulsively, but I just can't swallow this. If she really is researching Xiao Sheng, she should at least tell us adults! What is she thinking of sneaking around like this!"

Zhou Shuwan thought for a moment and said, "Lin Wei is a PhD at the base. Going directly to question her might not be effective and could even make her more wary."

Zhang Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we go find Captain Chen and tell him about this? Let the base handle it. After all, the base shouldn't allow human experimentation."

Tao Zheng nodded as well.

Captain Chen is an upright person and usually takes good care of them. Lin Wei's private deal with Xiao Sheng was definitely done behind the base's back.

"it is good!"

Zhang Jia's injuries hadn't fully healed, so she couldn't walk very far. Tao Zheng found a wheelchair and pushed her towards the captain's office.

She and Tao Zheng held somewhat extraordinary positions in the base. Although they did not hold any official posts, they had once brought so many people to the base. Therefore, when she asked to see Captain Chen, he immediately agreed.
