"Waaa, waaa, waaa!" The deafening cries echoed in the cabin.
It was really deafening! Even the noise-isolating headphones couldn't completely block it out.
At first, Lan Xiao planned to keep one-third of the eggshell, but the baby was crying so hard that Nan Cheng couldn't bear to give it up. So he gave him some more. As long as he ate it, he wouldn't cry.
When only one fifth of the eggshell was left, he started crying again, his cry was as loud as that of a tenor.
One sixth, one seventh, one eighth, … , one tenth!
In the end, only one-tenth of the eggshell was kept. This was the bottom line. This was no longer something Lan Xiao could decide alone. He had to be responsible for the entire team. Therefore, he could only harden his heart and let the baby cry and not feed him anymore.
Nan Cheng also understood his decision, after all, they were doing scientific research. Although she often looked at Lan Xiao with her big, watery eyes, she never asked the child to continue eating.
They originally thought that the child would stop crying when he was tired. But who knew that he was really gifted! He cried until he was hoarse, but he didn't stop. His cry was very penetrating. He cried for three days and three nights.
In three days, the reconnaissance plane had completed the reconnaissance scan of the Far North, but the expedition team was extremely tired. No one could rest well under the crying of the child, whether meditating or sleeping, just forget it.
The reconnaissance plane had a special lounge, but the metal door of the lounge could not block out his crying, so when the plane started to return and turned on the automatic cruise mode, everyone was exhausted.
Nan Cheng's mind was filled with the sound of the baby crying. She took care of the child every day, but he refused to drink water or eat anything, and just kept crying. Nan Cheng was exhausted physically and mentally, but she had no idea what to do.
"Put him in the protective shield of the test bench, and you should get some sleep quickly. The shield has a slightly better sound insulation effect, and it is safe inside. He can't run out." Lan Xiao said to Nan Cheng, who was pale, with concern.
"Yeah." Nan Cheng really couldn't bear it anymore.
The shield was effective in isolating the crying, and the sound was reduced. Everyone felt relieved. Except for the driver who needed to stay awake to avoid any problems with the cruise control, everyone else fell asleep soon after.
They were really too tired these past few days. In addition, the main work had been completed. Once they relaxed, it was natural for them to fall into a resting state. Soon, everyone, including Lan Xiao, fell into a deep sleep.
“Wa wah wah…” The baby continued crying, his beautiful big eyes full of grievance.
The remaining one-tenth of the eggshell was also placed in another shield on the test bench. The shield was isolated from the air and kept in a vacuum and low-temperature state to ensure that its quality would not change. After returning to the Ancient Soul Beast Research Institute, large-scale instruments were used for comprehensive testing and research.
It was really difficult to meditate amid the crying, and there was a danger of going astray, so Lan Xiao, Nan Cheng and the others chose to sleep. They slept soundly, and the plane gradually became quiet, with only the crying still loud and faint.
The pilot was flying the plane, and the cruise system was working normally. After leaving the Far North, the plane immediately ascended to the stratosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters and cruised. At this speed, it would take about seven or eight hours to return to the base airport. Their expedition would also end.
The driver yawned. He had been disturbed by the crying and was exhausted. He checked the cruise control system and the protection system again. After confirming that there was no problem, he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Today's soul-guided reconnaissance aircraft are very advanced, and even if the cruise system fails, the alarm will be sounded immediately. Moreover, there will generally be no problems.
The breathing sounds in the plane became noticeably calmer, except for the little baby who was still crying. On the remaining one-tenth of the eggshell, the gold and silver patterns were faintly visible, and no one noticed that, along with the crying of the little baby, the frequency of the light flashing on the remaining eggshell began to change slightly.
Whenever the cry is loudest, the gold and silver lines will become the brightest, and when the cry subsides, its light will converge.
Gradually, the eggshell became transparent in response to the crying, and some slight cracks appeared on the surface of the transparent eggshell. They were very small at first, but continued to develop.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the eggshell shattered quietly, not into pieces, but into powder and into a ray of light.
The golden and silver halo easily drilled out of the protective shield and then drilled into the protective shield. When it rushed into the baby's mouth and nose, the crying finally stopped.
The entire cabin finally calmed down. The baby was the last one to fall into a deep sleep after the golden and silver halo poured in.
I don’t know how much time has passed…
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" The low buzzing sound shook the interior of the cabin, gradually waking up the sleeping people.
"Well, I had such a comfortable sleep! Is this the signal for starting to descend? Are we almost there?" Nan Cheng opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the signal at the front of the cabin with some surprise.
The pilot had already woken up and smiled, "Yes, we're almost there. We're descending now."
Nan Cheng suddenly felt as if something was different, and subconsciously, she went to the test bench not far away from her.
The little baby curled up, his pink and tender skin seemed to be glowing with a soft halo. He was small, but looked a little lonely.
Nan Cheng subconsciously thought, where are his father and mother? They must miss him very much.
"Huh!" She suddenly realized what was wrong. This little guy stopped crying
Nan Cheng quickly stood up and came to the baby. His little chest was slightly bulging due to breathing, and his pink little face was moving from time to time, and there was even a sweet smile on his little face.
Is he really sleeping? Nan Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"Well, are we almost there?" Lan Xiao stretched and stood up.
"Lan Xiao, come quickly, he's not crying anymore. He looks so cute when he's not crying!" Nan Cheng said with a smile.
"Not crying anymore? Yeah. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to sleep for so long." Lan Xiao said with a smile. As he spoke, he subconsciously turned his head to the other side, and then his eyes became dull.
"Eggshell? Where's the eggshell?" He turned around suddenly and stared at Nan Cheng.
"Ah?" Nan Cheng was stunned for a moment, and also looked towards the place where the eggshells were stored. Yes, Hong Fei Ming Ming. There was no trace left, the eggshell disappeared.
"It's not me, I didn't!" Nan Cheng hurriedly explained.
At this time, the other people had also woken up and found that the eggshell was gone, so they hurriedly gathered around.
Lan Xiao gestured to Nan Cheng, "Don't panic. If you say there is none, then there is definitely none. Opening the protective shield will leave a record. Let's check to see if it has been opened."
Nan Cheng was relieved. Yes! The opening of the test bench protective cover would be recorded, and they even had different passwords for each person. However, she was still very satisfied with Lan Xiao's choice to trust her at the first time, and she subconsciously relaxed a lot. But, what about the eggshell
The monitoring system in the cabin quickly told them the answer.
When everyone looked at each other and finally focused their attention on Lan Xiao, Lan Xiao smiled bitterly, "If you don't want to blame me, I can't do anything. This is really a death without evidence and no trace left."br>
