Sorry, Our Captain Is a True All-Rounder

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Strange Liquid

Lin Jingjing looked at the large tiger standing in front of her, and her eyes instantly lit up.

She got up from the bed, walked straight over, and threw her arms around it, burying her entire face in the tiger’s fluffy fur and rubbing it again and again.

"You really came out!"

The tiger growled softly, and because it was happy, it flopped onto the ground and exposed its soft belly.

Lin Jingjing reached out and stroked it again. It was soft and felt wonderful to the touch.

"GROWL—"

’Master, can I stay by your side forever?’

Hearing its words, Lin Jingjing shook her head and said, "No, people will be scared if you’re with me."

"You can only come out when there’s no one around."

Hearing that it couldn’t, the tiger became incredibly dejected.

"GROWL..."

’Alright then. Master, you have to keep thinking of me.’

"I know," Lin Jingjing said with a smile, stroking its fur again.

Feng He returned to get Lin Jingjing to go eat and get to work, but the moment she entered the dorm room, she saw a large tiger lying on the floor with Lin Jingjing petting it.

Seeing this scene, a look of terror spread across Feng He’s face.

Her raised foot froze, uncertain whether to step forward or retreat.

Lin Jingjing heard the sound and looked up, flashing a brilliant smile at her. "Feng He, look at my big tiger!"

At Lin Jingjing’s call, Feng He stepped inside, her face still etched with caution.

Meanwhile, the large tiger lying in front of Lin Jingjing heard the movement, stood up, and let out a low growl at Feng He.

Feng He stopped in her tracks, her gaze shifting to Lin Jingjing, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear.

Inside, however, she was frantically screaming: ’AAAAAHHH, where did this tiger come from?!’

’Where did Sister Lin get it?’

"Sister Lin..." Feng He’s voice trembled as she spoke.

Lin Jingjing glanced at the growling, wary tiger, and knew it saw Feng He as an enemy.

She looked up, patted its head, and said, "Don’t be like that. She’s my good friend. You can’t treat her this way."

"GROWL—"

The tiger turned its head and growled at Lin Jingjing: ’She’s your friend?’

Hearing this, Lin Jingjing replied with a smile, "Yes, so don’t be like that."

After being scolded by Lin Jingjing, the tiger was no longer wary of Feng He. It sat down on the floor, looked at her for a moment, and then averted its gaze.

"Feng He, come over and pet it. Its fur is really soft and nice to touch," Lin Jingjing said to her with a cheerful laugh.

Feng He walked over and squatted beside her, but she raised her hand hesitantly, not quite daring to touch the tiger.

Lin Jingjing saw her hesitation and grabbed her wrist, saying, "It’s from my Spiritual World. Don’t be afraid. I have lots and lots of animals in my Spiritual World."

Hearing that it came from Lin Jingjing’s Spiritual World, Feng He looked at her with an expression of utter disbelief.

"Really?"

"Really!" Lin Jingjing nodded emphatically. "And I can even understand what it’s saying."

At these words, Feng He was even more shocked.

"No way, that’s insane, right?" Feng He said, her hand already touching the tiger’s fur. It was warm and felt exceptionally nice to the touch.

’It’s hard to imagine, but if Lin Jingjing could release all these animals on the battlefield, it would be a huge help.’

"It’s a pity you guys can’t enter, or else I’d want to let you see it," Lin Jingjing said with regret.

After playing with the tiger for a while, Lin Jingjing returned it to the Spiritual World, glanced at the time, and then said, "It’s about time to go make dinner for the chiefs."

This was a very stable source of income, so there was no reason for them to give it up.

Not only that, but the money came in fast. Shi Feng had relied on it to buy up all the materials needed to build a mecha.

"Right," Feng He said, standing up and stretching. "I want to buy a new set of surgical equipment, but I can’t find a supplier online."

"Keep looking. You might be able to find one," Lin Jingjing replied.

The two of them left the dorm side by side. On the way, Feng He’s brow furrowed as she thought about the results of today’s dissection, and her tone became somber. "Sister Lin, those mutant beasts were all transformed from people."

Hearing her words, Lin Jingjing was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized Feng He was talking about the mutant beasts they had encountered in the underground cave in the park.

’So, most of the mutant beasts that attacked them that day were actually people?’

At this thought, Lin Jingjing’s expression grew heavy.

The Empire was a nation that revered martial strength. The people they had encountered in the basement that day had very low spiritual power; some were even ordinary people.

Their disappearances wouldn’t attract the attention of the higher-ups. Because they were weak, it didn’t matter even if they died.

’So many mutant beasts... just how many people must have died?’

"I extracted a strange liquid from their bodies. That liquid is very similar to the poison in Chief Beisang’s body," Feng He continued, her pretty eyebrows knitted together in distress. "That strange liquid scrambled their genes completely."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Jingjing and opened her mouth as if to say more, but then hesitated. Lin Jingjing noticed, turned to Feng He, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There’s nothing you can’t say between us."

"I suspect that someone from the organization doing human experiments is inside the First Corps," Feng He said, frankly stating her thoughts.

"And the poison in Beisang’s body is one that can turn her into a mutant beast. Could she... turn into a mutant beast?"

Hearing this, Lin Jingjing’s expression changed slightly. Then she asked, "Are you able to neutralize that poison?"

Feng He shook her head. "I can’t. That liquid that turns people into mutant beasts is beyond my current knowledge. It’s a product of this era, and I haven’t finished learning everything there is to know here yet."

’This seems difficult,’ Lin Jingjing thought, patting Feng He’s head comfortingly. "It’s okay. All difficulties can be overcome."

"Good will always triumph over evil."

After comforting Feng He, they arrived in front of Mo Xuan and the other two.

The three of them didn’t look too good either, likely because of the news they had just heard.

"Why is everyone so gloomy?" Lin Jingjing asked with a light laugh. "Are you worried about Chief Bei or about those ordinary people?"

"Worried about both," Shi Feng replied.

Lin Jingjing started to cheer them up. "Now that we know about it, we’ll just have to stop this disaster from happening, right?"

"After all, serving the people is what we’re supposed to do."

Persuaded by Lin Jingjing, the four of them felt a lot better.

When they reached the entrance to the back kitchen, they saw Beisang and Captain Li standing there. They didn’t know what the two were talking about, but both of them wore serious expressions.

"Are you sure you want to give the position of Head of the Logistics Department to Lin Jingjing?" Beisang asked with a frown. She really didn’t understand why Captain Li insisted on making Lin Jingjing the department head against everyone’s objections.

"Her spiritual power is currently Grade F. Even though she’s very strong, no one will be convinced by that grade."

Captain Li took a drag from his cigarette and said with utmost seriousness, "She can do it. That’s my gut feeling."
