With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

Jiang Zhiyu continued walking along the corridor of the experimental area, her pace unhurried, her gaze sweeping over the tightly closed laboratory doors on both sides.

As she walked to a secluded corner, a heavy metal door caught her attention.

This door was completely different from the others in the corridor. The metal edges of the door frame were dull and dark, clearly showing signs of corrosion, and a very faint layer of white crystals could even be seen in the cracks. There were no signs on the door, only a small radiation warning sign embedded at waist height.

The stagnant poison-based abilities are now showing signs of loosening.

"Host, you felt it too?"

"Hmm, the poison-type ability is agitated; it seems like something behind this door is attracting it."

She subconsciously moved closer to the door, and the reaction of her poison-type ability became stronger and stronger, as if countless extremely fine needles were gently pricking her meridians. It didn't hurt, but it was exceptionally clear.

"Impossible, host. Mutant poisonous insects only exist in the post-apocalyptic world; they couldn't possibly be here."

But the closer one gets to that door, the more active the poison-based superpower becomes, almost as if it's operating on its own.

She had just taken two more steps forward when a lab technician rushed over and stopped her with a tense expression.

"Comrade, stop immediately! That's a nuclear contaminated area, there's radiation, it's bad for your health, don't go near it, step back quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu stopped and nodded to the other person.

She asked Seventeen in her mind, "Is nuclear radiation also considered toxic?"

"Yes, in principle, that should be the case. Nuclear radiation is a type of high-energy ionizing radiation, and its damage mechanism to organisms is similar to that of toxins, both fundamentally destroying cellular structure. Host, don't rush, try absorbing a little bit carefully first."

Jiang Zhiyu smiled at the researcher, "I won't go any further. I'll just wait here for Commander Qian."

The researcher left only after seeing that she was no longer moving forward.

Once everyone was out of sight, Jiang Zhiyu activated her poison-based ability, subtly guiding the surrounding free-floating radioactive toxins towards herself. Those invisible radioactive particles, as if drawn by an invisible hand, seeped into her body through her breath and skin, where they were then enveloped, neutralized, and stored by her poison-based ability.

The poison-based superpower actually began to operate slowly, extremely slowly, but it was definitely moving. Like a long-dried-up riverbed finally receiving a trickle of water.

"Host, you can actually absorb it! I just scanned you, and it didn't cause any harm to your body."

"Then I'll try again."

She stood before the heavy metal door, continuously absorbing, compressing, absorbing again, and compressing again. Her poison-based superpower was like a long-starved container, greedily devouring every trace of radioactive toxin, then compressing it into a denser form and storing it deep within her meridians.

I stood there for a good ten minutes, and the surrounding free-floating radioactive toxins were completely cleared away. Even the white crystals on the edge of the door frame faded a bit.

Jiang Zhiyu opened her eyes and felt the changes within her body.

Not only has her poison-based ability loosened, but now, with just a thought, the toxins she releases will also have a faint radiation attribute.

"Seventeen, do you think this is like a super buff being activated?"

"That's right, just a few days ago we were discussing how your poison-type ability couldn't grow in this world, and here it is, delivered right to your doorstep."

Jiang Zhiyu suddenly thought of a question, "If I absorb radiation, will it harm the people around me? What if I become a radiation source wherever I go?"

"No, host. I've scanned you. After you absorbed it, all the radiation toxins were compressed and fused into your poison-based ability; there won't be any leakage. Your surroundings are completely clean; there's not a trace of radiation."

"That's good, otherwise we would have really been doomed."

She turned and walked back, in a good mood. "Let's go find Boss Qian. How much radiation does such a huge lab produce every day? Cleaning it up for them every now and then will allow us to upgrade our own systems—a win-win situation."

"That's right, host. If President Qian finds out, he'll be ecstatic."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Qian Weiguo was currently searching everywhere for Jiang Zhiyu. The laboratory was too large; he had just carried the raw materials straight to the experimental area, only to find her missing when he turned around. He only came to look for her after a researcher told him that someone had gone to a secluded corridor.

From afar, Qian Weiguo saw Jiang Zhiyu standing in front of the gate to the nuclear contaminated area and quickened his pace to catch up.

"You little rascal, you've come all this way. How did you find the tour?"

"Very good. Mr. Qian truly lives up to his reputation; to build something of this scale in such a short time is truly impressive."

"Hey, it's all thanks to the capable young soldiers under my command." Qian Weiguo waved his hand. "Come on, come to my office. I have some things to discuss with you."

"Let's go, Mr. Qian. I also have something to tell you."

The two walked back to the office area. Qian Weiguo closed the office door and got straight to the point.

"How much of that kind of ore do you have?"

Jiang Zhiyu curled her lips into a smile. "How much does Mr. Qian want?"

"The more the better, of course. The analysis results aren't out yet, but seeing how crazy those old guys are, I know that stone is no ordinary one. The preliminary report should be out by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. How much can you get, girl?"

"We currently have one million cubic meters on hand."

Qian Weiguo slapped his thigh, "I knew you'd never fight a battle you weren't sure you could win!"

He paused, then asked, "By the way, you said you had something to tell me, but we were so busy talking about stones. What is it?"

Jiang Zhiyu carefully considered her words.

"I want to visit that nuclear-contaminated laboratory."

Qian Weiguo was taken aback. "What are you looking at? It's quite dangerous. You'd have to wear protective clothing to go in. And even then, it's hard to avoid radiation exposure."

"Mr. Qian, I have a way to remove the nuclear contamination."

Upon hearing this, Qian Weiguo abruptly stood up from his chair, pushing it back with a screeching sound.

He stared at Jiang Zhiyu, his eyes filled with barely suppressed shock and excitement, his voice trembling.

"Are you sure? Girl, this is no joke."

He paused, his voice suddenly becoming a little hoarse.

"Several senior researchers, whose bodies were badly damaged by radiation, still endured the pain and went to that lab to do research."

"You're telling me now that it can be removed?"

Jiang Zhiyu met his gaze, her tone calm.

"Mr. Qian, do you think I'm the kind of person who talks big?"

Qian Weiguo stared at her for several seconds, then suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"That's great! Let's go, let's go right now!"

The two walked quickly back to the heavy metal door.

The lab technicians in the corridor saw Qian Weiguo coming this way again and quickly went to stop him.

Before they could speak, Jiang Zhiyu spoke first.

"Mr. Qian, please don't go in. I can go in alone. There's radiation inside, and I carry special protective gear issued by the bureau that can block radiation. You can't go in; just wait for me outside."

A young female lab technician rushed over from the side and stood directly in front of Jiang Zhiyu.

Her name is Gao Xiaolan, and she is one of the researchers in this laboratory. At this moment, she looks anxious.

"Commander Qian, this won't do! This little girl is so young. If she gets radiation, her life will be ruined!"

Qian Weiguo was somewhat moved as he looked at the researchers who were wholeheartedly protecting Jiang Zhiyu.

He thought for a moment, then turned to the researcher behind him and instructed, "Go and get a radiation protection suit."

Before Gao Xiaolan could say anything more, Qian Weiguo had already taken the protective suit, handed it to Jiang Zhiyu, and winked at her.

Jiang Zhiyu immediately understood and put on the anti-radiation suit in front of everyone.

"You guys go ahead and do your work. That girl just went in to look at something, she'll be out soon."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade them otherwise, and seeing that Commander Qian had personally arranged for protective measures, the lab technicians finally dispersed.

Before leaving, Gao Xiaolan looked back several times, her face full of worry.

Qian Weiguo lowered his voice, "I won't go in, but you should be careful even if you're alone. Next time you go in, wear this to avoid arousing suspicion."

"I understand, Mr. Qian."

Jiang Zhiyu zipped up her protective suit and turned to walk toward the heavy metal door.
