Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 128 The Apocalyptic Boss Arrives (5)

Gu Lin showed no embarrassment at having his plan exposed by Ji Xiaosong. Instead, he said with righteous indignation, "This concerns the life and death of humanity. I hope Miss Ji can lend a helping hand."

Ji Xiaosong chuckled lightly, "My father's contact with you already demonstrates our family's sincerity in cooperating. Now that we've settled into the Yongfeng base, we only want to live peacefully and have no other thoughts. Next, I need to seize the time to prepare for the various matters before the apocalypse for my family. The task is heavy and time is tight. If Team Leader Gu doesn't have anything particularly urgent, please don't disturb me for the time being. We can communicate again after I've finished my work here."

The blatant attempt to shoo people away was clear to Gu Lin.

"Then we'll take our leave."

He led the others away, and after the last one of them had left, Ji Xiaosong closed the door.

"Little sister, what kind of preparations are you referring to when you said you were making preparations?"

Ji Youshu approached excitedly; he couldn't wait to have superpowers.

"Naturally, it's to help you temper your bodies. After the apocalypse, we don't yet know how your physical condition will affect your ability level. But I speculate that there is a high probability that the two are related. So, just in case, I plan to temper your bodies immediately and make full preparations in advance."

Ji Xiaosong explained, and Ji Chengguang agreed wholeheartedly: "Then let's go upstairs. I just looked around the whole villa, and the master bedroom and living room upstairs are more suitable."

"Body tempering is achieved through medicinal baths. Although I've never tried it before, I saw others do it during the apocalypse. So, I'm not sure if it will succeed this time. Dad, Mom, and brother, if you're willing to try, we'll give it a shot together; if you have reservations, don't force yourself, after all, this is indeed risky."

"I'm not afraid, I agree to take a medicinal bath."

Song Ya stepped forward first, “Song’er, this apocalypse is destined to be a cruel era where the strong prey on the weak and human life is as cheap as grass. If we don’t push ourselves hard and strive to become stronger, we will only be like lambs to the slaughter, powerless and at the mercy of others. So, don’t hesitate, just go for it. No matter how difficult this medicinal bath is, or what unknown risks there may be, I will never back down. I believe in you, and I believe that our family can get through this.”

Ji Youshu and Ji Chengguang agreed.

“Dad, Mom, and brother, now that you’ve all made up your minds, I’ll go to your rooms now and prepare the medicine in the bathtub. Once it’s ready, you can take off your clothes and lie down in it. This body tempering process is like reshaping your bones and muscles, so it will definitely hurt a lot. You must grit your teeth and bear it. If you really can’t stand the pain, just shout it out. I’ll be right next to you and can take care of you anytime you need me.”

After Ji Xiaosong finished speaking, she turned around and went to put the herbs into the bathtubs in both bedrooms.

Ji Chengguang and Song Ya's master bedroom has a double bathtub, so there's no need to make a separate one.

Ji Youshu's bedroom is right next to the master bedroom, so Ji Xiaosong can know about any movement immediately.

The moment Ji Chengguang immersed himself in the bathtub, the brownish-green liquid wrapped around his back as if it were alive.

He groaned and gripped the edge of the bathtub, his knuckles turning blue and white from the force.

Song Ya bit down on the cork she was holding, and blood dripped down her chin into the medicinal soup, causing a layer of black oily substance to suddenly float to the surface.

"Mom and Dad, this is the pores detoxing!"

Ji Xiaosong used ice crystals to form tweezers and quickly removed the blood blister that had swelled up on her father's neck.

Suddenly, a heavy thud came from next door. Ji Youshu was in so much pain that he knocked over the bathroom cabinet, but he didn't utter a sound.

Three hours later, Song Ya trembled as she climbed out of the bathtub, her wet hair tangled with dead skin that had shed.

She touched the mirror and suddenly froze—her perpetually blurry vision was now able to see the mold spots in the grout between the tiles.

Ji Chengguang was bending the brass doorknob with his bare hands, and the cuts on his palms from the metal were scabbing over at a visible speed.

"Muscle density increased threefold, metabolic rate..."

Ji Xiaosong's testing device was suddenly snatched away by Ji Youshu and crushed into an iron disc.

With bloodshot eyes, he excitedly hissed, "Sister, I can hear the sound of an armored vehicle shifting gears two kilometers away!"

"Congratulations, brother. It seems that body tempering really works. Whether or not you have superpowers in the future, you are already stronger than ordinary people."

Ji Xiaosong gently brushed his fingers across Ji Youshu's eyes, and he immediately returned to normal.

“Brother, I plan to tell Gu Lin about this so that the country can select more suitable people to undergo body tempering.”

"Okay, I'll call him."

Ji Youshu excitedly picked up his phone and called Gu Lin to inform him.

He was probably busy, so the first to arrive at the Ji family's residence were several military doctors.

When Gu Lin arrived, he saw Ji Chengguang testing his arm strength by lifting a double-door refrigerator with one hand.

The five military doctors he brought were amazed by the body tempering data. Infrared thermal imaging showed that the three men's internal organs were surrounded by a pale golden halo.

"Team Leader Gu, the body-tempering formula provided by Miss Ji has shown remarkable effects. After verification, it has indeed played a significant role. If this formula can be promoted and applied to the army, the soldiers' physical fitness will be greatly improved. In this way, our army's combat capability will undoubtedly achieve a qualitative leap, and we will have greater strength and confidence in dealing with the apocalyptic crisis."

One of the military doctors excitedly stepped forward and showed Gu Lin the data they had just recorded.

"This is a body-tempering prescription."

Ji Xiaosong patted the copied parchment onto Gu Lin's chest. "If you want to temper your bodies, you need to speed things up. We just tested it, and the entire tempering process takes three hours."

Gu Lin glanced at the pharmacy, then, realizing he couldn't understand it, handed it over to the military doctor.

After the military doctors studied the situation, one of them, who seemed to be the leader, said to Gu Lin, "Team Leader Gu, we don't have all the medicinal herbs we have here. If we need to get more, it will take at least two hours."

Ji Xiaosong frowned. The apocalypse was getting closer and closer, and not a single second could be wasted.

“I have some medicine stored in my space. The raw materials for these medicines come from the seeds I planted in my space before.”

Song Ya and Gu Lin couldn't hide the fact that they went to the market to buy seeds from each other, so they simply told Gu Lin openly.

"The flow of time within my space is unique. One hour passes inside, while almost a hundred days have passed outside. Therefore, the medicinal herbs that were planted earlier have already been harvested."

Upon hearing Ji Xiaosong's words, the military doctors all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Gu Lin was thinking about something more at that moment. He left the villa and reported to his superiors outside.

Ten minutes later, Gu Lin arrived at Villa A7 with five hundred selected special forces soldiers.

He saluted Ji Xiaosong and said, “Miss Ji, I will be troubling you to temper the bodies of these five hundred soldiers. It is a difficult task, and I hope you will take good care of it. In addition, the base has just received an appointment letter from the higher authorities. Effective immediately, you will officially serve as the deputy base commander of our Yongfeng Base, mainly responsible for logistics management.”
