I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 46: Continue with reality (I)

“Dear Leader: I sincerely…”

Minister Yu looked at a handwritten application report, looked at it for a while and then rubbed his eyes.

"Rubbing your eyes with your hands is not good, it can easily lead to astigmatism." Qiao Zhixue said, "When your eyes are tired, you can do some eye exercises and try to avoid rubbing your eyes."

Minister Yu smiled and said, "I can't refuse to admit my age. I have some presbyopia and need to wear a pair of reading glasses to keep ready at all times."

Qiao Zhixue looked at the application report in his hand curiously, "Tan Yan... immediately wrote a report and gave it to you as soon as he returned to the real world. What major discovery did he make?"

Not only Qiao Zhixue was curious, but everyone present was interested and stretched their necks to read the letter.

This trip to the void took a particularly long time, and with so many people going in, the people in the Technical Security Department were already prepared for the possible loss of talented people.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, a "hole" appeared in another place. Minister Yu quickly sent people to control the spread of the "hole" and everyone waited anxiously in front of the tombstone.

After the instrument had been running for two hours, when Minister Yu was about to take emergency evacuation measures in City B, seven people and a little deer with clean, beautiful big eyes fell out in front of the tombstone.

When the little deer saw a group of fully armed strangers, it was so scared that it shrank into Tan Yan's arms and cried, and kept touching Tan Yan's neck, hoping that he could comfort it.

Minister Yu was very moved to see that everyone had returned and was not seriously injured. But he did not have time to commend these heroes because they were needed in another "void".

But except for Tan Yan who was still in high spirits, the others looked exhausted.

The six people were fine when they were in the world of ionizing radiation, surrounded by active electrons, stimulating their consciousness to recover quickly. But once they returned to the real world, the safe environment allowed them to relax their bodies, and they heard the deer's full-bodied cry, and a big stone fell from their hearts. Before the minister told them that there was another "hole" not far away, the six people fainted at the same time.

this…

Tan Yan put the deer down and touched its head soothingly. When he heard that there was still a "hole", he said that he had no problem and could complete the task, but asked not to make things difficult for the children, as they had all just awakened their special powers, and it was not easy for them to hold on until now.

Everyone immediately split into two groups. The medical team took six people to check, while Tan Yan followed Minister Yu into the armored vehicle and rushed to the next location.

The little deer refused to leave him, so Tan Yan had to carry the deer into the car.

The car was fully equipped. The doctor examined Tan Yan and confirmed that he was in good health, just a little tired, lacked sleep, and needed to replenish his energy.

While the doctor was examining him, Tan Yan was receiving nutrient solution in the car and frowning as he wrote an application report with difficulty.

Since they were on a mission and no one brought official paper, Tan Yan had to use the notebook he carried with him to record theoretical knowledge. Therefore, the report in Minister Yu's hand was torn from a notebook worth a few dollars, and it contained content that was top secret of the state.

After Minister Yu took the report and glanced at it, he immediately folded it and put it in his arms.

Tan Yan quickly ate something, replenished his water, and then slept for an hour in the armored vehicle.

When they arrived at the destination, Tan Yan handed the deer to Xu Mingyu's care, and gently touched its fur to comfort him before leaving.

Unexpectedly, this quiet little deer saw Tan Yan walking towards the "hole" and began to struggle wildly in Xu Mingyu's arms.

Xu Mingyu, a special forces soldier, couldn't even hold a one-meter-tall deer. He had to watch helplessly as the deer followed Tan Yan into the "hole" in an almost flying posture.

Everyone: “…”

Qiao Zhixue: "Xiao Xu, did you do this on purpose?"

“I’m not, I didn’t…” Xu Mingyu really had no way to defend himself. How could he tell everyone that the kick from the deer almost caused him internal injuries.

Fortunately, Qiao Zhixue was thoughtful and considered the problem more comprehensively. When he heard Xu Mingyu's denial, he immediately asked the accompanying doctor to treat Xu Mingyu. My goodness, his stomach was ruptured. If it was discovered later, something serious might happen.

Xu Mingyu was rushed to the hospital for surgery. He suffered internal injuries without even experiencing a fight, and left behind a resume that was "not even as good as a deer." It's really pitiful to think about it.

The little deer was so obedient in Tan Yan's arms, but why was it so scary when it left him? What kind of kicking power could rupture the internal organs of a battle-hardened special forces soldier

The "Hollow" team had not had the chance to tell them the origin of the deer. Although Qiao Zhixue had an idea, it was difficult to tell it to others because there were too many people.

While everyone was waiting for Tan Yan, Minister Yu took out the application report and looked at it carefully in a corner. Although he didn't show it on his face, his heart was full of melancholy.

We know how long Tan Yan, an honest old cadre, can hide the truth. Let's see how many times he is exposed this time.

Tan Yan realized something was wrong when he said he hadn't been sick for more than ten years. Fortunately, the children were very considerate of him and did not point it out in that situation. Instead, they silently followed him back to the real world.

Although the children did not ask, Tan Yan knew that they were still suspicious. Tan Yan felt that he could not continue to make up stories. He was under great pressure. As soon as he found a "hole", he immediately reviewed himself to his leader and applied to tell the children everything about him.

Tan Yan felt that the children had very good qualities and were trustworthy, and they also had special abilities, so they had the right to know.

He thought that at least he shouldn't hide it from his teammates, as it made him feel guilty.

Although the report did not have any fancy words, it was very plain and sincere. Minister Yu took the report and said with satisfaction: "It was not in vain that I learned Chinese during this period."

Tan Yan also said that he hoped the organization could announce the matter when he was present, and he wanted to tell the children his age in person.

Minister Yu secretly handed the letter to Qiao Zhixue who was standing next to him. Qiao Zhixue was the only person present who knew about the matter, so it would be good to share the burden.

After reading it, Qiao Zhixue nodded. Since immortality is just a manifestation of supernatural power and it will not last long and has limits, it is okay to announce it as long as no one other than the team members knows about it.

"Let's discuss this after Tan Yan comes back." Minister Yu sighed.

Now is indeed the time to make the announcement. The team members have just entered the other world and have awakened their special powers. They are still adjusting their emotions. If we say it any later, it would be bad if they develop a resistance to the organization and Tan Yan.

But we still need to give him some time to think about how to organize his language...

The armed police officer in charge of communications suddenly received a call and immediately reported: "Minister Yu, Tan Yan is back."

Minister Yu: “…”

That's not right. It's only been half an hour since Tan Yan went in! Their main force hasn't even reached the Pingxian Tombstone from the place where the "hole" appeared. Why are they coming back now

Minister Yu immediately ordered people to speed up and asked Tan Yan to stay where he was. After driving for an hour, they finally arrived at the destination.

He and Qiao Zhixue jumped out of the car, only to see Tan Yan, in high spirits, bringing Xiaolu to the front of the armed vehicle and saluting Minister Yu: "Report to the Minister, Tan Yan has completed the mission and is returning to the team!"

Minister Yu: “…”

"On behalf of the organization, I would like to thank Comrade Tan Yan for his contributions to the country and the people." Minister Yu shook hands with Tan Yan.

When the little deer saw them shaking hands, it started to chirp beside them. Tan Yan touched its head with his other hand, and it continued to chirp.

Minister Yu let go of Tan Yan's hand. Although the deer kicked Xu Mingyu, it was indeed unintentional, and the little guy was just cute, so Minister Yu also touched its head.

The fawn stopped calling immediately.

Everyone: “…”

"It barked just now so that I could... praise it too?" Minister Yu hesitated.

“Probably…” Tan Yan had only known the deer for a short time and did not understand its mind.

But this little deer is really smart. Its big eyes reflect the human figure, as if everything is in its eyes.

It was Qiao Zhixue who calmly asked, "What world is this time?"

Tan Yan recalled for a moment and found that he couldn't seem to say anything, so he handed the camera to him: "I took the picture."

Qiao Zhixue took a look at a few pictures and understood, "In the Ice Age, there are frozen dead creatures everywhere. If you have strong resistance in this kind of world, it is indeed not difficult."

Tan Yan also nodded and said, "As soon as I arrived in that world, I ran towards the teleportation point. The teleportation point was not far away, and I arrived there after running for a while."

The Ice Age generally does not cause much landform change, so the teleportation point should still be the tombstone. It took them an hour and a half to come all the way from the "hole" at a speed of 150km/h. Tan Yan ran here in an hour using only his legs

Someone was already silently calculating Tan Yan's running speed.

The people brought by Minister Yu are all members of a team that has been studying the "void" phenomenon for many years. They also know about superpowers. Many of them are armed police who have been trained for many years and are particularly envious of Tan Yan's abilities.

However, they also know that the other world is too dangerous and it is impossible for everyone to go in and gain superpowers, so they can only envy it.

Qiao Zhixue's focus was different from others. He looked at the little deer asking for praise and asked, "You held it all the way?"

"No," Tan Yan shook his head. "At first I was afraid it would be cold, so I held it in my arms. But it struggled so hard that I put it down. Unexpectedly, it ran faster than me and didn't fall even though the ground was so slippery. It turns out that two legs can't outrun four legs."

This is not a matter of four legs...

"Does the space overlap phenomenon also occur in the other world?" Qiao Zhixue suddenly asked, "Is this little deer not a creature from the world you went to? Otherwise, it would not have passed through the 'hole'."

"Yes, Liang Xian and Cui Heyu said so." Tan Yan nodded and took out the notebook from his arms. It was the one he used to write the report. It recorded Liang Xian and Cui Heyu's analysis of the deer. Tan Yan tried hard to remember it in his brain in the other world, and after finishing the application report in the car, he wrote down the notes while his memory was still clear.

After taking a general look at it, Qiao Zhixue nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed worth studying. You are not violating the law of not interfering with the ecology of other worlds, because the existence of this fawn itself is an influence."

The little deer moved his ears and felt that Qiao Zhixue was looking at him with scrutiny, so he snorted at him unhappily.

Qiao Zhixue said expressionlessly: "I don't know whether its power is acquired after experiencing the 'void', or whether it is very strong in the original world."

"No way. When I met it, it was asking for help in a pitiful way in the tornado."

“Really?” Qiao Zhixue narrowed his eyes at the deer and said in a very dangerous voice, “Nothing can be concluded before research. It cannot be integrated into the earth’s ecosystem. It is just a good experiment. I need to draw blood, bone marrow, and brain marrow from it, and dissect it while ensuring that it is alive to study its physiological structure… Ouch!”

The little deer pounced forward and bit Qiao Zhixue's arm hard, glaring at him with hatred.

Qiao Zhixue was not angry. He raised his unbitten hand, touched the deer's head, and whispered, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The little deer immediately let go, ran back to Tan Yan with an innocent look in his eyes, and rubbed his head against him obediently.

Everyone: “…”

This deer looks innocent after biting someone. How vivid! I've never seen a deer behave like this before.

Qiao Zhixue was very calm. He cleaned his own wound and got tetanus and rabies vaccines. He looked at the deer while getting the injection.

When the little deer saw the needle, he was so scared that he buried his head in Tan Yan's arms and cried.

"Oh, the world is so big and full of wonders. Humans are so arrogant." Qiao Zhixue suddenly said.

Minister Yu frowned: "You suspect... in the deer's world, the intelligent creature at the top of the food chain is a deer?"

"Not necessarily," Qiao Zhixue shook his head. "It hasn't shown any signs of being able to speak yet, and even if it has language ability, the languages of the two worlds are unlikely to be the same. But it can understand my language. Does it rely on emotions to sense my intentions, or does it have telepathic abilities?"

Seeing that the little deer was still buried in Tan Yan's arms, Qiao Zhixue patted its butt and said, "I'm asking you."

The little deer turned his head and looked at Qiao Zhixue with a frightened face.

Qiao Zhixue: "Very clever."

Seeing that Minister Yu and Tan Yan were looking at him in surprise, Qiao Zhixue immediately changed his words: "What a deer."

Everyone: “…”

"It has spirituality, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to create or think deeply. It can sense some intentions through people's tone, but it can't speak." Qiao Zhixue analyzed as he watched, "Apart from its strength, its intelligence doesn't seem to be enough to occupy the top of the food chain. Judging from my wounds, its teeth are average, not like a carnivore."

Xiaolu was analyzed thoroughly in just a few words. Fortunately, everyone was already used to Qiao Zhixue's superhuman IQ.

"At the moment, I tend to believe that your strange strength is due to the fact that you have gained supernatural powers after traveling through time and space, but I don't rule out other possibilities." Qiao Zhixue kept staring at Xiaolu, which put a lot of pressure on Xiaolu.

"You have two choices now," Qiao Zhixue analyzed the deer as if he were treating a normal person. "First, be a quiet herbivore with superpowers, cooperate with our research that will not harm your body, and follow the other world adventure team into the 'void' to help everyone. Second, we will treat you with courtesy as an intelligent creature. Without your consent, we will not conduct any research on you, and we will also guarantee your privacy. However, as an intelligent creature, you have just arrived in our world and you have hurt Xu Mingyu. No matter which world you are from, you must bear legal responsibility in our country.

Which of these two do you choose?"

The little deer was almost scared to tears by Qiao Zhixue. It was not known whether it understood what he said or not. It curled up in Tan Yan's arms and could not even make a sound. It looked weak, pitiful and helpless.

The accompanying armed policemen felt sorry for Xiaolu, but when they thought of Xu Mingyu's stomach and the high-speed train-like speed of running 200 kilometers in half an hour, they remained silent.

"Since you don't choose, I'll take the first option." Qiao Zhixue reached out and touched the deer's head. "Don't worry, it's just drawing blood, collecting hair, saliva, urine, semen and other substances."

Little Deer: “…”

It was unknown whether it understood or not. Tan Yan felt sorry for the little deer, but he could only comfort it, "It's okay. I have collected all of these. He treats us intelligent creatures the same way."

Little Deer: “…”

Everyone arrived at the base with sympathy for Xiaolu. Liang Xian and others were lying in the base hospital. Everyone took Xiaolu to visit them. When they arrived at the ward, they saw that the other five were still asleep, while Cui and Yu seemed to have been awake for a long time. They didn't know where they got a computer and put it on the table next to the bed. They seemed to be very tired and fell asleep on the table.

Tan Yan stepped forward and patted Cui Heyu, but he did not wake up. Instead, he fell straight to the ground as if dead.

The author has something to say: Guess what happened to Cui and Yu? I believe that students with big imaginations have already guessed it.

ps: If Liang Xian doesn't perform well, Qiao Zhixue will take over the attacking position o(╯□╰)o

To be honest, when I first started writing the story, there was no such person as Qiao Zhixue. Liang Xian is the combination of Qiao Zhixue and Liang Xian, a super smart genius boy. All of Qiao Zhixue's theories in the story were originally presented to Liang Xian. But when I was writing, Qiao Zhixue appeared, and he became smarter and more aggressive...

Liang Xian, you have to make your mother proud_(:3∠)_

PPS: The update time tomorrow will still be 2 p.m. If you don’t see me, check the comments to see if there is a leave note. No one will read my leave note qaq
