"Is this person Dr. Adolf?" The bearded man pointed his thick finger at the person in the middle of the photo. "If it's really him, then Dr. Adolf is really lucky, isn't he?"
The bearded man frowned and looked up at the driver's seat: "Second brother, when was this photo taken?"
The second brother spun the steering wheel quickly, knocking away a low-level zombie that was chasing him. The huge black rubber wheel crushed the zombie, and the zombie was crushed into powder instantly. The sticky rotten meat stuck to the wheel, and as the car moved, a gradually fading black and red mark was left on the pure white snow.
"Is this the same place fifty years ago?" The bald man whistled as he looked at the remains of the zombies. "Pretty boy, am I driving in the right direction? Why am I getting further and further off the track? Is this really a laboratory?"
Baili Xin checked the location and route in his mind: "That's right, it's only about 30 minutes away by car."
The bearded man leaned forward and looked at the endless snowy surface in front of him. "I never expected that after more than 50 years of the apocalypse, there are still laboratories operating here, and even researchers with high IQ. Even in areas with mild climates, there is not much food. How did those people survive in this icy area with no grass?"
"Human potential is truly endless," the bearded man sighed. "Since there is a laboratory here, there may be laboratories somewhere else on the blue planet that we haven't discovered yet?"
Baili Xin: "Maybe. After all, on such a big blue planet, the unknown is the norm."
"The unknown is the norm." The bearded man repeated Baili Xin's words, chuckled twice, and glanced sideways at the snow scene through the window.
The window reflected the bearded man's resolute and vigorous face. He still looked like a middle-aged man, but his eyes showed the decadence of old age.
Dr. Sang pulled Bailixin's wrist and asked: "The memory of the transparent crystal core you absorbed has not yet appeared?"
Baili Xin: "I have never lost any memory. Is there any problem?"
Dr. Sang: "It's not really a problem, it's just a little strange. Normally, the memory should appear within three days after absorption, but yours hasn't appeared yet."
Zhou Guang, who was standing by, asked, "Will there be any danger? For example, sequelae or something?"
Xia Chi also came up and said, "Yeah, brother, you won't be stupid, right?"
Baili Xin: “?”
Otherwise you'd better shut up.
Dr. Sang: “…”
Hold on, he calls my wife "brother".
____________________________
Half an hour later, everyone found the ruins of the laboratory buried by the glacier in the vast snow.
Although everyone was somewhat shocked, judging from the traces of destruction, this was indeed a very rigorous laboratory.
The laboratory is hidden under the snow, and the thick white snow provides the best cover.
Several people dug through the thick snow and braved the frost to get into the cave.
The temperature around us has dropped to who knows how many degrees below zero Celsius. Even though we walked into the dark tunnel, there was still no sign of warming up.
"Shit, it's so cold, my hands are numb from the cold," the bearded man groped his way out of his backpack and took out a flashlight. He tried to turn on the switch, only to find that the cold iron lump had frozen into a ball. "My flashlight is frozen and I can't turn it on. What about yours?"
It was dark, and there was a rustling sound around, and then people came back one after another: "Mine was turned on but it didn't light up."
“Mine won’t open either.”
"Mine is frozen, too."
The bearded man sighed and stuffed the flashlight into his backpack. "How cold is this? The flashlight must have been frozen."
Liang Xixie said with regret: "It would be better if Samael was here, he has fire ability."
Baili Xin's voice came from the front: "Here is the rope. Let's hold on to each other so that we won't fall behind. I'll pass the rope to you. Each of you can tie a slipknot on your wrist. If there is any problem, you can quickly escape."
Everyone thought Baili Xin's idea was good, and began to pass the rope in an orderly manner from front to back. The bearded man stood in the dark, and when he felt the rope coming from the front, he quickly took it and neatly tied a bow on his wrist.
The man behind him pushed him hard, and the bearded man frowned slightly. He said patiently in the dark space: "Brother, it's urgent. I'll give you a rope."
The moment the bearded man threw the rope behind him, he felt someone holding the other end of the rope tightly, seemingly with great force.
The man held the rope tightly with one hand and pressed the bearded man's shoulder with the other hand, looking very scared.
The bearded man secretly laughed at the coward in his heart, and several figures flashed back and forth in his mind.
Although I don't know which member of Baili Xin's team he is, he is too timid.
You're still going to the lab? Isn't that a hindrance
The bearded man couldn't help but whisper to the man behind him, "Brother, if you're really scared, don't go up. Go wait in the car. You'll be a drag then."
The bearded man responded with a short, tense gasp.
Baili Xin, who was at the front, spoke again: "It's all tied up now. We'll count every once in a while. This is the first count. I'll start, 1."
"2." "3."... "7."
The voices of counting came one after another, and the person behind him held him tighter and tighter. When the bearded man heard the person in front of him finish counting, he secretly struggled to break free from the grip of the coward behind him and replied absentmindedly with "8".
Behind me, there was silence.
The bearded man was completely furious. He frowned and turned to the dark voice and cursed in a low voice: "That's enough, buddy. Can you do it? If not, then hurry up and get on with it. Don't you know it's your turn to count? Hurry up and count."
There were several gasps all around.
The bald man's hesitant voice sounded in front of him: "Boss, who... are you talking to?"
"Follow the man behind me." The bearded man felt the hand grabbing him again, and he irritably knocked the other's hand down: "That's enough, are you done yet?!"
"But, Boss," the bald man's voice was very clear in the darkness, "there are only eight of us."
"Yeah, so I just called out 8, he should..." The bearded man's voice stopped abruptly, and he finally remembered that he was the last one to come in, "Fuck."
The cold hand came closer again, and the bearded man noticed that the hand was cold, shriveled, and had pointed nails, and was not their hand at all.
His instinctive attack reaction instantly made him grab the hand, but the hand was very flexible, and it made a strange and hoarse laugh "Ga Ga Ga" and disappeared in the dark tunnel "Shua Swish".
The "swish" sound of moving did not sound like running, but more like something rubbing against the ground.
Hearing the voice gradually fade away, Baili Xin didn't dwell on it too much. He held onto the cold, frosted wall and took two tentative steps forward. "Let's go. Be careful with your steps and follow closely."
Baili Xin walked very slowly, because after entering here he immediately found that his special powers were blocked.
He had just tried to use his supernatural powers to investigate the surroundings, but there was no sign of his supernatural powers being activated.
Is this just a problem for me, or is it the same for everyone
Baili Xin moved slowly, and as he adapted to the situation secretly, everyone gradually began to see some vague shadows around them.
"Hiss, that's weird, my superpowers don't seem to work anymore." Li Cancan asked darkly, "You guys try and see if the superpowers still work."
Soon, everyone found that they could not use their special abilities at all.
They were completely trapped in this strange dark space, and they had lost the ability to survive.
What's more serious is that all their skills and item cards have been temporarily sealed up for the original copy.
This means that at this moment, they are no different from when they were in the trial copy, they are just ordinary people.
But what's around here
It’s dark, cold, and filled with powerful and terrifying zombies that may emerge at any time.
A natural sense of fear suddenly rose from the bottom of everyone's heart.
The darkness was unusually quiet and no one spoke.
But the tense atmosphere had already lingered around them.
"If our abilities completely disappear after we enter this laboratory, then the abilities of those who came here before, such as the powerful Yuan, may have also disappeared when they entered here."
"Yes, Yuan is such a powerful psychic," the bearded man said at the end, "I'm afraid even the transparent zombies may not be his opponent, not to mention there were so many strong people around him at the time. I have always wondered what kind of zombie killed him, and now I finally understand why."
"The zombies that killed him were not necessarily strong, but they were very fragile at the time. Even the most resilient weapons would lose their activity after being frozen and would be easily broken."
After knowing the truth about Yuan's death, the bearded man became calm instead, "Yuan will die, but we may not. Yuan has always relied on his superpowers, but in addition to my superpowers, I have not given up strengthening my body in my daily life."
"My blood is boiling now."
The bearded man's words were like a shot of adrenaline, calming down the other people present.
The team continued to move forward.
Suddenly, there was a sound of an object hitting the wall with a "bang", and Zhou Guang immediately asked: "What happened?"
Baili Xin retracted his raised foot and said calmly: "Just now a bug jumped out, but I kicked it away. No."
"They are already waiting for an opportunity around here, so be careful."
As he was speaking, several streaks of cold and dark wind suddenly passed by.
The next second, there was a loud rumbling sound.
Baili Xin: "Nothing?"
Xia Chi: "Brother, I didn't. These zombies are so weak."
The bearded man said in a steady voice: "We can't let our guard down. Zombies of this level simply can't kill Yuan and the others. There must be even more powerful ones behind them."
Because they couldn't see and there were too many obstacles, they walked in the dark for half an hour before reaching the end.
During this time, small zombies would jump down and attack them from time to time, but they were all sent away one by one.
Facing the darkness, everyone vaguely saw a huge door in front of them.
The heavy, cold metal texture exuded a chilling and majestic glow. The bearded man knocked on the door, and it immediately made a dull "dong dong dong" sound. He withdrew his hand with regret: "If my superpowers were still there, I could punch through this iron door. What should I do now? Just stare blankly?"
Zhou Guang: "That guy called Yuan should have gone in, right? Maybe there are keys or clues around that can lead us in. Let's look for them."
Bearded man: "Yes, yes, let's look for him. Damn, it's so dark in here, where can we look for him? We don't even know whether Yuan has gone in or not."
Baili Xin knocked on the door thoughtfully, "Not so troublesome?"
Bearded Man: "Do you have any other good ideas?"
Baili Xin pried open the crack in the door with both hands: "There is no good way."
The bearded man grinned: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that troublesome, and there is no good way. Can you fight with your bare hands..."
With a muffled "boom", two cold metal sliding doors slowly opened to both sides.
The young man's casual voice followed, "It's opened, but it's not easy to open."
In the darkness, the bearded man and the bald man stared blankly at the vague outline in front of them. Between the two huge iron doors, a slender figure stood, with two arms that did not look strong stretched out to both sides, steadily holding open the iron doors.
Bearded man: “…”
Bald: “…”
Damn, bro, what’s your last name
Your last name shouldn’t be “Chao” or “Ren”, brother!
Brother, are you still in need of assistance

Fortunately, the live broadcast room has a built-in night vision function. Let’s say, the system finally acted like a human being.
God Xin reappeared his Super Saiyan power, awesome God Xin, look how scared these two country bumpkins are.
In comparison, Xia Chi and the others were much calmer.
That is, after all, a group of people who grew up under the tutelage of God Xin, and what they have seen is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The most terrifying thing is the boss's expression, okay? What the hell is this doting expression
I declare that this b has been possessed by God Xin!
Invisible pretense is the most deadly.
____________________________
After the few people entered, the sliding door closed again. It was still dark all around. I don't know if it was because of the iron door, but the temperature in the room immediately returned to normal.
"The flashlight still won't turn on," Xia Chi swung the flashlight in his hand, and the cold metal shell hit the wall. Everyone heard a crisp "click" sound, and a bright light instantly fell on the heads of several people.
Xia Chi looked at the flashlight in his hand, then at the switch on the wall that he had accidentally touched, and hummed happily: "It seems that my luck is still as good as always."
"Maybe this is a talent. Oh, it's so heavy."
Everyone: “…”
What Versailles said.
Along with the lights, the heating and ventilation systems also turned on.
As they adjusted to the white light, everyone slowly opened their eyes. But the moment they saw the scene in front of them clearly, they fell silent again.
This is an empty circular area. The original color here should be mainly white, but now it is filled with blood and corpses.
There were a lot of zombie corpses and the corpses of mutants wearing familiar combat uniforms.
No matter how hostile the zombies and psychics were in front of them, at the moment of death, they could only let their bodies fall and be buried here with the bodies of their enemies.
Zombies and human corpses were entangled with each other, many of them maintaining death postures.
The zombie bit the mutant's neck, but the mutant stabbed the zombie's forehead with a knife.
What happened was that two zombies were tearing the legs of the psychic. The psychic stared wide-eyed unwillingly, with bloodshot eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.
Li Cancan and Liang Xi turned their heads away reluctantly.
The bearded man carefully scanned these psychics who were still fighting desperately at the last moment of their lives, and said in an extremely heavy voice: "I know many of them. Some of them are from Yuan's team, and some are from the team that came here earlier. No matter which team they are from, none of them went back."
"There was even no news of the first team after they entered."
"The same goes for the second and third ones."
"Until Yuan led the psychics to attack here, he finally escaped, carrying a transparent crystal core and scars all over his body. He used all his strength to come to the Ark and died under the Ark. Later, the psychics who were on a mission found Yuan's body and took him back."
"Because they were afraid that Yuan would mutate, they didn't even keep Yuan's body intact. They directly cut off Yuan's head and only took the body, shield and the transparent crystal core back with them."
The bearded man and the bald man silently saluted the corpses with solemn eyes.
A rumbling sound was heard under everyone's feet, and a hidden elevator suddenly appeared on the wall of the empty circular room.
The bearded man glanced at the opened elevator and asked: "Does the institute's laboratories have to be secretly built underground? Do we have to take the elevator every time?"
"After all, the land can bury a lot of things." Zhou Guang said solemnly, "For example, secrets, such as death."
When getting on the elevator, Baili Xin glanced at the very hidden gold-plated engraving on the side of the elevator. The date displayed on it was s3013, which showed that this laboratory was built after the zombie outbreak.
The buttons on the elevator only have the numbers 1 and -16, and there is not even room for people to choose.
The bald man quickly pressed -16, and the elevator door slowly closed and then slowly fell down.
There was an elevator and countless bloodstains, but there was no body.
Zhou Guang took out a knife for self-defense from his waist, "There will probably be zombies down there, everyone, get ready for battle. Take revenge if you want, vent your anger if you want, and die if you want."
The bearded man covered his face with his hands and laughed, the hair bracelet on his wrist swaying, "I will not be killed by these minions, I haven't lived enough."
As the -16th floor got closer, the elevator began to slow down.
In the narrow and cramped space, everyone was on high alert, looking at the closed silver metal door vigilantly.
Even through the metal door, they could hear the zombies barking and roaring.
Finally, the elevator stopped.
The roar of the door became louder, and they even heard the sound of the zombies' nails scratching on the elevator door. Those anxious voices seemed to be impatient to open the metal blind box.
The moment the elevator door opened, the bearded man was the first to rush out.
His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his strong muscles stretched into strong lines. With a flick of his knife, he cut open the foreheads of the two ugly zombies and took out the crystal cores.
In the passage ahead, there were hundreds of zombie armies, with their horrible and disgusting rotten faces and twisted bodies, attacking everyone.
Others rushed out soon after.
"You've come just in time!" Xia Chi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. His usually sunny face was now as cold as ice. He jumped around on the zombies' heads flexibly, and every place he landed on was a zombie's body. "I was so angry watching from above, and I was just worried about where to vent my anger. You guys are really courting death. You have really bad luck."
Baili Xin harvested zombie heads while observing secretly.
Zhou Guang’s fighting ability is also quite strong. He usually does mental work, but he is not afraid of these zombies at all.
Although he doesn't have Xia Chi's strength and flexibility, he is very smart.
Faced with mindless zombies, they couldn't even touch the corner of Zhou Guang's clothes.
Zhou Guang was able to predict the zombies' attacks as quickly as possible every time, and find the most suitable blind spots and positions for attack.
Liang Xi's strength was a little weaker, but he was not stupid. He knew that he was no match for the zombies, so he only picked on the weak ones. After a while, he was unable to kill the zombies.
The person who surprised Baili Xin the most was Li Cancan. Li Cancan always gave him a gentle and affectionate feeling. She was very delicate in mind, and logically speaking, her physical strength should be the weakest among everyone.
But at this moment, Li Cancan's flexibility is comparable to Xia Chi.
When she entered attack mode, her usual gentleness was replaced by a fascinating ruthlessness.
Her watery eyes seemed to be raging like a storm at this moment.
____________________________
Studio.
It’s team show time! Cancan is so strong, Xia Chi is so handsome! Guang is so wise! Liang Xi is so cute. I love them all!
Oh my god, he is worthy of being the giant of the Core Fire Guild, he is so strong.
Are they so strong without any skills or abilities? I thought they were strong because they were lucky enough to pick up rare skills. Damn, I was so presumptuous.
Core Fire Guild f4, a battle today!
Li Cangshan unexpectedly received another rejection from the Xinhuo Guild. This was his thirteenth application.
Looking at the rejection documents lying in the Recycle Bin, he smiled bitterly, searched the guild list, and began to try to find new partners.
Although the Core Fire Guild seemed to be the most suitable, not being able to enter meant that one could not take the first step.
He couldn't waste any more time.
As he was examining the other guilds, his eyes glanced at the live broadcast screen on the computer.
In an instant, his eyes froze, staring at the graceful and powerful girl.
The small and delicate facial features, sharp eyes, and capable demeanor are completely different from the usual Li Cancan, but even more charming.
Then, his eyes fell on the others.
Everyone's work is remarkable.
Rigorous, strong, struggling, hardworking, and fighting, he can easily see these words in these people.
Personality can indeed be disguised, but in extreme danger, the disguised personality will surely reveal flaws, and that is when it is the truest.
And these few people showed him the inner qualities he wanted most.
At this moment, Li Cangshan broke all the concerns.
He identified them.
After seeing the application for membership, Li Cangshan thought about it and this time he did not continue to fill it out, but put the application aside.
Waiting does not delay the process, but can help it to better incubate and sublimate.
From now on, he would wait for them to come back, stand solemnly in front of them, and confess to Baili Xin and them.
Yes, he did this for the organization and the glorious mission.
It has nothing to do with the beautiful and fierce Sister Cancan.
________________________________________
Ten minutes later, the passage was littered with zombie corpses.
The zombies that were densely packed just now were all dead on the ground, and the messy corpses spread on the corridor, leaving almost no place for people to stand.
Li Cancan resumed her gentle and gentle appearance, shivering and hiding at the back with a slightly pale face.
Although most of them were tired, they suffered no casualties in this battle, only victory.
Giving the man a thumbs-up, Baili Xin moved forward, stepping on the zombie corpses on the ground.
This is the 16th floor underground, and the temperature is much higher than on the ground.
Holding back the nausea, several people followed Baili Xin's posture and moved forward.
Soon, they found a closed glass door at the end of the zombie corpses, which was also the only room on this floor.
Inside the room was a huge laboratory with several test benches, each with a lot of instruments and equipment randomly placed on it. It seemed that the experiment was interrupted halfway through, so there was no choice but to hastily abandon the scene.
The huge display screen hanging on the wall had long turned dark, and the few people did not find anything in the laboratory, but they found a room for storing liquid nitrogen at the back of the laboratory.
In addition to a small square box, there were several corpses lying in the room.
The corpses were both male and female, and they were all wearing white coats.
One of the corpses held the small square box tightly in his arms.
Judging from the shape of this blue box, it is most likely a storage box for antigens.
The bearded man bent down and was about to close the eyelids of a corpse. Then he said "Huh" and quickly walked to the other corpses to observe them carefully. Soon, he stood up from the ground and said, "These are all zombies."
"But it's strange," the bearded man was very puzzled. "At first I thought they were scientific researchers, or were they all infected by zombies in the end, and hid here to commit suicide in order to protect the antigens?"
Baili Xin frowned and looked down at the corpses.
He didn't know why, but ever since he entered here and saw those corpses, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
However, he was sure that this bitterness and sadness did not come from himself, but from the guidance of another existence.
If it weren't for him, then only the transparent crystal core would be left.
Something seemed to surge in my mind.
Then came a surge of sadness that instantly filled Baili Xin's chest.
Ding! Congratulations on getting a memory from a zombie.
The immersive memory playback will begin below.
The voice of the escape system suddenly sounded, and after it finished speaking, countless memories that did not belong to him at all came rushing in like a flood that had been opened, sweeping in mercilessly. He staggered two steps, and subconsciously held onto the person next to him with his fingers.
The fingers of those hands were long and powerful. Before Baili Xin passed out, he only saw Dr. Sang's shocked and worried eyes.
____________________________
"Oh, how unlucky we are that we were chosen for this copy. This copy is a life-or-death situation."
Baili Xin opened his eyes hazily, and what came into view was a pair of innocent big eyes.
The owner of that face was a stranger and did not know him, but it was obvious that the owner of this memory knew the other person.
His sight swayed uncontrollably from side to side twice, and then he heard a young female voice close by: "Don't be afraid, since we are here, we should make the best of it. It's mostly the same anyway."
The person who spoke should be the owner of this memory.
And he is now watching this memory from the perspective of the owner of this memory.
"It is now the 30th year of the apocalypse. Let me see what our mission is."
"It's so difficult. I have to reach S-level in one month. Can I do it?"
"This is just like playing a game. We just need to level up and kill monsters. Hahahaha."
"When the time comes, we can team up together. There is strength in numbers, and we can upgrade faster."
The owner of the memory nodded: "Yeah, okay."
The people who were talking were all taskers. Through the perspective of the memory master, Baili Xin discovered that the number of people participating in the mission this time was not as many as 200 as they had expected, but only fifty.
The memory owner's memory kept jumping, and the scene jumped a few times afterwards. They who were on the Ark just now had appeared on the battlefield and started fighting with the zombies.
The owner of the memory was shaking with both hands, and seemed to be frightened. She watched a zombie open its bloody mouth and bite her arm, and someone around her finally rushed over and killed the zombie.
This battle was extremely brutal, with endless hordes of zombies and only a handful of people with special abilities, along with the system's reminder sounds that rang out again and again.
In the end, there were only eight people left on the entire battlefield, one of whom was the owner of the memory.
Just when the eight people thought they were doomed, the surging zombie army suddenly retreated.
The players who were still standing stood there in a daze. There was no joy of surviving the disaster on their faces, only despair after the constant physical and mental torture.
Among the seven people that Baili Xin could see, the ones lying in the liquid nitrogen room were all gone.
One person asked hesitantly, "What should we do next? Go back?"
"We can't go back!" another person interrupted him, "Although we are still alive, we are all injured. If we go back, these NPCs will not save us, they will only kill us!"
One person panicked and asked, "What should we do? Just wait to become a zombie and become a walking corpse?"
The Ark in the distance slowly opened its passage, and several people in protective suits were walking down.
The memory owner said quickly: "Let's leave here. Can we discuss what to do later?!"
The players stared at each other for only a few seconds, and finally fled the battlefield with all their might.
They ran all the way north, for a long distance, and only stopped exhaustedly when they were sure that the people behind them had not caught up.
At this time, the two animals that were bitten had turned pale and looked like they were about to mutate.
Just as everyone was falling into despair, a strange figure walked towards them in the wind and snow.
She had thick seaweed-like hair, and her pale body was covered with gorgeous black patterns.
It's the Zombie Queen.
Everyone looked at her in shock, and Baili Xin also felt her fear from the owner of the memory.
Just when everyone thought they were doomed, "she" slowly spoke, "I can save you."
As she spoke, the Zombie Queen gently cut her wrist with her fingernails, and crystal clear red blood instantly gushed out.
The blood dripped into the snow and immediately turned into red plum blossoms.
Weird and beautiful.
The Zombie Queen put her wrist forward and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that you've all been infected with the zombie virus."
Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale.
The Zombie Queen continued, "Now I can't eliminate the zombie virus in your body, but my blood can inhibit the spread of the zombie virus. You drank my blood, and although the fact that you turned into zombies will not change, your will will not change."
Just when everyone was skeptical, the two animals in front suddenly went crazy, showing signs of running wild and biting people.
They roared madly, but their eyes were attracted by the blood of the zombie queen. They came up greedily to suck her wounds.
In just a blink of an eye after they drank the blood, the two regained consciousness.
The Zombie Queen smiled and said, "Do you believe what I said?"
Yiwan asked: "But why are you helping us? Looking at your body, it's obvious that you are a zombie of the same level, right?"
Zombie Queen: "I need you. I want to get rid of the zombie disease just like you."
"Everything I do is not charity. I save you, and you have to help me. Although my blood can suppress toxins, it still needs to be replenished every once in a while. During this period, you have to use my blood to research antibodies and antidotes for the zombie virus."
"As long as we make the antidote, you can turn back into humans. If you are willing, come and drink my blood, and we will have made a contract. Next, I will take you to the secret laboratory I found. We will be safe there."
"But if you don't agree, I will leave you to fend for yourself now."
The zombie queen stretched out her arms and smiled: "You only have one chance to choose, so make sure you seize it, my little cuties."
The players looked at each other, nodded to each other, and gathered around the Zombie Queen...
____________________________
The picture in front of Baili Xin suddenly jumped again, and when the picture appeared again, the surrounding scene had changed into a laboratory.
A white-eyed man in a white coat stared at the huge and complicated instruments in front of him and said, "Hey, we have spent seven or eight years learning theoretical knowledge in the past 20 years, but after so many years, we are still half-baked."
