please rest assured .
“Even if I can’t find your bones, I will remember you forever.” now, all teams are going to test their equipment and weapons for the last time!
“Get ready to go!”
“The living conditions are a little harsh, I hope you don’t mind, Dr. Zhao.” Three hours ago, in buffaloes city.
Chen Xun, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a suit, brought professor Zhao Shiming into a spacious laboratory.
There were strange containers and various instruments everywhere.
On the computer screen, some vital signs kept popping up, and the staff was typing on the keyboard nervously.
Glass jars of various sizes were arranged around the area like decorations.
Some of the glass jars were huge eyeballs, some were flesh with a mouth, and some were colorful small fish. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the bodies of these small fish were actually fingers.
The entire laboratory was extremely busy, and everyone was busy. When Chen Xun and professor Zhao Shiming entered, no one in the laboratory raised their heads to look at them, let alone come forward to greet them. There was only a slightly chubby woman with a sallow face. She took her time to carry two cups that looked like they had not been washed and brought them to Chen Xun and Zhao Shiming.
The cup was filled with coffee.
Judging from its color and smell, it was not something good.
Chen Xun picked up a cup and took a big gulp. He smiled and said, ” I don’t have expensive coffee and tea, only this cheap instant coffee, and there’s not much left. I’ll only be generous enough to treat you to a cup if someone like Dr. Zhao comes …
Zhao Shiming looked at the coffee cup and frowned.”l don’t need to.”
“It does look a little dirty.”
but I have the best antidote, ” Chen Xun said with a smile. so, professor Zhao, you don’t have to worry about food poisoning.
“Even if you have antidotes, it will still affect my condition.”
coffee is used to refresh one’s mind. I don’t care if the quality of your coffee is good or if the cup is clean. However, if you have to risk your health just to enjoy your coffee, then it’s a problem with your work attitude, ” Zhao Shiming said.
Chen Xun came to a sudden realization. He put down the coffee cup and said with respect, “”You’re right, professor Zhao,”
Then, he brought Zhao Shiming to a strengthened glass pool that was about three meters in diameter.
The pool seemed to be very high. From the second floor, they could see that the pool was terrifyingly deep. It was filled with a sticky and pungent green liquid. There was Scarlet flesh and blood, as if they had their own consciousness, rolling in the liquid. Occasionally, snake-like tentacles would reach out of the water and slowly withdraw, splashing water and bubbles.
Thick pipes extended from various places and connected to the surface of the pool. It was complicated and strange.
Zhao Shiming took a deep look and his face tensed up. He suddenly said, “What’s the percentage?”
“92%!”
Chen Xun smiled and said, ” I’ve already told you about the final problem. It’s exactly the direction you’re focusing on. If you can overcome it, you and I will be the first people in the world to complete this experiment. I don’t think I need to say more, do I? ”
Zhao Shiming looked at the pool and was silent for a while. He suddenly said, “I didn’t expect you to go further than me …”
“Because you still belong to the Research Institute.”
“There are more or less some restrictions when it comes to doing things. Naturally, he’s not as fast as us,” Chen Xun said with a smile.
Zhao Shiming took a deep breath and suddenly turned around. He looked at Chen Xun with a serious expression. “You took such a big risk to find me. Is it because I’m one of the few researchers working outside the main city, or is it because you’ve done some calculations and think that my research project can help you overcome this last problem? Is there anyone else who is a better choice for you?”
the central city has two main cities, one big and one small. It’s indeed one of the most difficult cities for aptitude users to enter …
“Basically, it’s absolutely safe.”
Chen Xun answered slowly. Then, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.”But it doesn’t mean that no one can get in. The main problem is that with professor Zhao’s knowledge and status, he could have stayed in the main city, enjoyed the best treatment and security in the world, and focused on his own research, but you took the initiative to come to the satellite city .
“Can this be understood as you yourself are also waiting for an opportunity?”
He looked into Zhao Shiming’s eyes and smiled,”Professor Zhao’s knowledge is one thing, but your attitude is another. I may have many choices, but the only person who can guarantee that you will do your best to help me complete the project is you, professor Zhao.”
Their gazes met in the air, and they could see the calm and confidence on each other’s faces.
After a long while, Zhao Shiming sneered and said, I have to remind you of one thing. Based on my understanding of the central city, they must have already made their move. Although I’m sure that there are many people in the central city administrative office who support you, they can’t stop the movement of the central city. Perhaps, the special operation group has already arrived outside the city .
Are you sure we can finish this research project before they attack? ”
“I know they’re already here. They’ve set up an outpost ten miles east of the city.”
“But that’s not important.” Chen Xun smiled. There were too many people in the central city, and slowly, the atmosphere of a bureaucrat had begun to take advantage of the number of people in the city. Unfortunately, the current war was no longer something that could be changed by numbers. If you’re still worried, I can ask you to take a look at their fate before you decide if you want to help me. ‘
As he spoke, he pulled open a white curtain. On the table behind him were a few delicate objects. On the left was a thick video, which had been out of use even during the civilized times. The label on it was already blurred.
The one in the middle was a fine twelfth-order Rubik’s Cube.
The one on the right was a clock that looked a little worn out.
Chen Xun smiled and took a few more steps forward. He came to an operating table, lowered his finger, and lightly tapped a few buttons.
Different images appeared on the screen, and they seemed to be aimed at the city.
There was a little girl in a white dress standing quietly on a roof.
One of them was a man in a suit with only one eye on his face, walking slowly on a Street.
Some of the workers were wearing protective clothing and moving large boxes.
Zhao Shiming’s eyes swept across the screen, and his expression changed from cold to a little strange. In the end, his face turned ashen. Although he hid his panic well, there was still fear in his eyes.
“How many monsters are you hiding in this city?”
“Actually, there’s only one,” Chen Xun said with a friendly smile.
“What?”
Zhao Shiming suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had understood something, and the fear on his face spread.
He took two deep breaths to calm himself down. He raised his head to look at
Chen Xun and said, “I can help you.”
He paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and looked straight into Chen Xun’s eyes. but I need you to promise me that if your plan succeeds, the host of this experiment must have my name on it. If your plan fails, then I will be …
“I was forced to,” he said slowly.
Chen Xun smiled as well. that’s how it should be. This is the courtesy that black tables should have.
Zhao Shiming nodded and extended his hand.
The two of them shook hands and looked at each other, revealing a sincere smile.
“Happy cooperation!”
Then, they separated and strode to different positions..
