In the laboratory, two researchers in uniform were using various small instruments to examine the geomagnetic map. When they saw Chen Chu coming in, one of the older researchers asked, "Chen Chu?"
"It's me." Chen Chu nodded.
"We are in a hurry. I will be frank with you." The researcher pointed to the leyline map on the table and said, "Because we are in a hurry, we were unable to bring a high-precision energy detector this time. We only brought a simple version, so we need a high-level psychic to help correct the data."
The high-precision energy detector is too large to be accommodated in any storage device currently developed. If it is to be moved, the most primitive means of transportation must be used. The matter of the geomagnetic map is urgent and cannot be brought back to the headquarters for testing, so the researchers can only bring some simple detectors.
"Okay, how can I cooperate?" Chen Chu asked.
"We just tested it and found that there is still a certain amount of energy left on the earth vein map, but it is constantly being lost. We need to test the extent of the energy loss and calculate the time when the earth vein map will be completely blank as quickly as possible." The researcher handed a wristwatch-like instrument to Chen Chu, "Put on this detector and inject energy. Using the energy of an energy stone and decreasing..."
Chen Chu put on the watch and injected energy according to the researcher's instructions. About ten minutes later, the researcher calculated the result: "56 hours and 31 minutes left."
The three days mentioned by the system started from the time when Lin Xi saw the geomagnetic map last night. By this afternoon, exactly 15 hours and 29 minutes had passed.
The researcher quickly set the countdown and began the next step of research.
Chen Chu waited for a while, and seeing that the researcher ignored him, he guessed that he had nothing to do, so he opened the door and left the laboratory. Outside the laboratory, Tang Tianyuan was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. When he heard the door open, he opened his eyes and looked over: "How much time do you have?"
"About 56 hours and 26 minutes." Chen Chu said the time he glanced at when he left the laboratory.
"Less than two and a half days." Tang Tianyuan frowned.
Chen Chu didn't say anything.
"Why did you want to kill Thales?" Tang Tianyuan suddenly asked, "As far as I know, Thales did not take the initiative to enter our territory. It was you who took the initiative."
Chen Chu sneered in his heart. As expected, he asked after all.
When he killed Thales, he said that the rules must be followed by the weak, but for the strong, they are just willing to follow them. At that time, he was a strong man to Thales, but now he is a weak man to Tang Tianyuan who uses the entire Chinese system as a shield.
The fact that he killed Thales could be a big deal or a small deal. Killing a terrorist was right, but he did violate the system. If it were normal, the authorities would certainly not care too much about this matter, but this time it was different. He took the geomantic map after killing Thales, and he brought an unprecedented disaster to China.
These thoughts went around in Chen Chu's mind. He already knew what Tang Tianyuan was going to do next, but he still answered in cooperation: "I received a call at the time and learned that Lan Yan was harassing the border just to delay time. Their real purpose was to hold a mass sacrifice ceremony in Jin City. I wanted to rush back to rescue them, so I took action."
Tang Tianyuan snorted and said sarcastically: "You did stop the mass sacrifice in time, but now you are going to sacrifice the lives of tens of millions of people?"
Chen Chu: "Blue Flame's attack on China was planned a month ago. Even if I didn't kill Thales, they would definitely find another way to send the geography map in."
The concert tickets were pre-collected a month ago, so Lan Yan’s plans could only be made earlier, not later.
Tang Tianyuan: "But if you don't kill Thales, Blue Flame won't broadcast live. Moreover, even if Blue Flame broadcast live, there is no evidence to prove that the venation map must be in the hands of China, and we won't be so passive."
The whole world knows that Lan Yan's earth-type mutant attacked China with the geomagnetic map, and Thales was killed by a Chinese mutant, so the geomagnetic map naturally belongs to China. This is evidence, and China cannot deny it even if it says it doesn't exist.
Chen Chu looked at Tang Tianyuan fiercely: "How can we avoid being passive? Leave it to other countries?"
Tang Tianyuan sneered: "Why, you are so generous and kind that you would rather let your compatriots die?"
Chen Chu was silent. He naturally did not want to sacrifice his compatriots, but what did the people of his country do wrong? In a trance, Chen Chu suddenly felt that Tang Tianyuan was right. This seemed to be his fault. If he had not killed Thales, if the map was sent to China by Lan Yan in some other way, he would not have to face this choice.
Chen Chu closed his eyes: "What can I do?"
Tang Tianyuan rubbed his forehead and said, "Stay here and wait for the test results from the research institute. Just hope that you can still help."
Chen Chu nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out. Chen Chu would rather listen to Tianshensan's silly laughter outside the door than stay in the same room with Tang Tianyuan.
Assistant Tan was still arranging peripheral work. When he saw Chen Chu coming out with a serious look, his heart skipped a beat and he hurried over to him: "What's wrong? Is the situation very bad?"
Chen Chu said calmly, "There are still 56 hours left."
Assistant Tan's face changed, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and continued to work on other things.
"Assistant Tan." Chen Chu suddenly called out to Assistant Tan.
Assistant Tan turned around and looked at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu smiled but shook his head: "It's okay."
Assistant Tan frowned, worry in his eyes. He knew that Chen Chu must have something on his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have called him suddenly. But since he chose not to say anything, even if he asked now, he probably wouldn't get any results.
Assistant Tan nodded: "If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
Chen Chu hummed: "Thank you."
Assistant Tan said nothing more and turned and left.
Municipal hospital.
Lin Yan was seeing Yun Zhou off. Yun Zhou had completed his treatment. He wanted to go to the hotel Lin Yan had booked to rest for a night before leaving, but he suddenly received a call from his father asking him to leave Jin City immediately.
In the parking lot, Yun Zhou said worriedly: "If you have nothing to do, leave Jin City in the next few days."
Lin Yan was puzzled: "Why?"
Yun Zhou looked around and saw that the two law enforcement team members who sent him to the airport were standing far away, so he whispered, "My father is so anxious for me to go back, it is very likely that Jin City is not safe anymore."
Lin Yan frowned: "Are you saying that the headquarters might leave the geography map in Jin City?"
Yun Zhou shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just guessing."
Yunzhou is an extremely smart child, but no matter how smart he is, he is only an elementary school student. His father cannot tell him everything, so he can only guess based on his father's decisions.
Lin Yan nodded: "I understand, you go back first."
Yun Zhou: "What about you guys?"
Lin Yan raised her eyebrows: "We? Me and Yun Yi?"
Yun Zhou's face darkened: "I'm talking about you and your friends."
Lin Yan smiled: "Yun Yi is also my friend."
The child was thin-skinned, so he immediately frowned, opened the door and got into the car: "I'm leaving."
Lin Yan continued to laugh: "Let me tell you a secret, Yun Yi has been pretending to sleep."
Yun Zhou said viciously: "His life or death has nothing to do with me. If I hadn't accepted the mission from the headquarters, I would not have saved him."
After saying that, Yun Zhou closed the car door without waiting for Lin Yan to speak. When the members of the law enforcement team saw that Yun Zhou and Lin Yan had said goodbye, they came over very efficiently, drove away from the hospital, and sent her to the airport.
Lin Yan waited until the car drove out of the parking lot before turning back to the inpatient department and the VIP ward. When she went in, as expected, the King of Dirty had woken up and was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, eating fruit.
Lin Yan nodded, closed the door, took out the monk's wooden fish, and then knocked it gently under the surprised and curious eyes of the two people: "Amitabha."
The Buddha's name rang in their ears, but Prince Wu and Lin Xi didn't react much. However, Prince Hai closed his eyes suddenly, and was silent for about two or three seconds before reopening them. His eyes, when he opened them again, were like obsidian washed by rain, so pure that it was uncomfortable for people to get used to.
But fortunately, it was only a moment. Aquaman blinked several times, and the worldliness filled his eyes again.
"Oh my god, I almost saw through the world just now." Aquaman patted his chest in fear, "This wooden fish can't be used casually, it's dangerous."
The moment he heard the Buddha's name, Hai Wang suddenly felt that love between men and women was just like that. Greed for pleasure would only pollute the soul. The ultimate goal of life should be to be detached from the world and seek inner peace. Fortunately, he had a strong willpower and was able to keep his vulgar heart. If a person really has no joy or sorrow, what is the difference between him and a walking corpse
Lin Xi looked at the man who had half sat up from the bed, calmly put away the wooden fish, and glanced at the countdown time.
Great, another day of vegetarianism.
Lin Xi didn't think she liked meat that much before, but now that she was not allowed to eat meat, she suddenly found that she couldn't eat many of the dishes she wanted to eat. And people have a bad nature, the more you don't let them do something, the more they want to do it. Now whenever Lin Xi thinks about food, all she can think about is meat.
The Sea King got up from the bed and followed the example of the Dirty King, picking up an apple and chewing it. "I spilled half of my lunch, so I wasn't full at all. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
"Spicy hot pot." The King of Wu ordered the food.
"What about you?" Hai Wang looked at Lin Yan, and remembered it in Lin Yan's resentful eyes, "I understand. I'll order a salad for you."
“…” Lin Xi.
"I say you two should be careful. You just got off the operating table yesterday, and today you can run and jump. Be careful not to be seen by the nurse." Lin Xi couldn't help but remind them.
"Don't worry, I'll go back to bed and pretend to be sick as soon as the nurse comes. And even if they find out, it's nothing. Ordinary people won't think of it as a supernatural power." Aquaman said nonchalantly.
"If one doesn't know how to do it, what about the other three?" Lin Xi asked.
"Three?" King Wu was puzzled.
"Three months ago, I awakened my supernatural powers here. I was thrown twenty meters away in a car accident without any injury." Lin Xi said.
"That's awesome." The tone of the King of the Sea and the King of Pollution was full of envy.
Look, they are all people with super powers and they are all injured, but why are others unharmed while they have to go on the operating table
Lin Xi rolled her eyes, thinking that these two people were probably beyond help.
"By the way, how is the matter of the geomagnetic map going?" asked King Wu.
Before, because of Yunzhou, King Wu had been pretending to be asleep, and only "woke up" after Yunzhou left.
"How should I know? I was deaf at the time." Although Aquaman knew nothing, he dared to ask. He took out his mobile phone and @Assistant Tan in the group.
Aquaman: [@Assistant Tan, how did you deal with the geocentric map in the end?]
Assistant Tan: [The headquarters has sent a researcher here, and they are working on a solution.]
Aquaman: [Have you found anything?]
Assistant Tan: [Confidential.]
When they saw the word "confidential", everyone knew that they could not ask about this matter. The three of them looked at each other and no one spoke.
The King of Waste was silent for a while and said, "Since the authorities have sent someone here, let's not worry about it."
Aquaman was not a worrying person to begin with, so he nodded and concentrated on ordering takeout.
"Don't order mine. I want to go home." Lin Xi came to the hospital for the purpose of treating Neptune. Now that Neptune has recovered and both of them are able to take care of themselves, Lin Xi doesn't want to stay here anymore.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Lin Xi left the hospital. When she got on the subway, Qingkong suddenly forwarded a statement in the group.
Lin Yan clicked on it and saw that it was a statement issued by China in response to the previous Blue Flame live broadcast. The statement was very simple and consisted of two parts. One part admitted that the geo-vein map was indeed in China, and the other part promised that China would do its best to resolve the geo-vein map issue and would never pass on the risk of the geo-vein map.
This is equivalent to assuring the world that even if the geomagnetic map causes earthquakes, it will only occur on Chinese soil.
The most infuriating thing is that at the bottom of the statement, the first person to leave a message was actually Lan Yan.
[Lan Yan: As expected of a great country, thumbs up.]
The language used is actually Chinese, which is a blatant provocation.
This Lan Yan is so abominable. Lin Xi gritted her teeth in anger. If she wasn’t on the subway at the moment, she would have wanted to smash things.
King of Dirt: [If this is not handled properly, China will become a laughing stock.]
Aquaman: [How can we deal with this? Sending the geocentric map to another country, whether it is an uninhabited area or not, will cause international conflicts. But if it is kept in China, China will suffer even greater losses. This is an unsolvable problem.]
Assistant Tan saw this and suddenly understood why Chen Chu was hesitant to speak. Although there were no similar comments on the Internet, there must be someone in the officialdom blaming Chen Chu. At this time, there were no comments blaming Chen Chu because everyone felt that killing a terrorist was not wrong, but if China suffered heavy casualties, when the tragic price was in front of them and there was no place to vent, Chen Chu would definitely be the punching bag.
Assistant Tan couldn't help but turn around to look at Chen Chu, only to see Chen Chu leaning against a courtyard wall with his legs bent, gazing calmly into the distance.
Qingkong: [Why not? If the people from Blue Flame were able to bring the geo-vein map back from the sub-space, then there must be a way to bring the geo-vein map back. We just don’t know the method yet.]
This is a very simple logic, and anyone with a clear mind can figure it out. Just because Lan Yan says it can't be delivered, it doesn't mean it can't be delivered.
When Lin Xi saw this, her eyes lit up. Yes, she could use the excuse to send the geomagnetic map to the subspace.
Lin Yan: [I also think there must be a way.]
Lin Yan thought about it. Even if the researchers at the headquarters couldn't come up with a solution, she could make one herself. Anyway, the venation map would disappear from the earth and no one would be able to find it. If she said it was sent to the subspace, then it was sent to the subspace. No one could refute it. If he had the ability, he could find another venation map on earth.
That’s it!
Lin Yan continued to send messages in the group: [If you need to lock the space door or something, I can help.]
Aquaman: [Wow, you are so enlightened.]
Lin: [That’s right.]
Chen Chu looked at the optimistic attitude of his colleagues in the group, and his heavy mood improved a lot. Yes, there must be a way. If it really doesn't work, he will let the earth vein map absorb him first.
When Lin Xi got off the subway, she already had a complete plan.
If she didn't want to expose herself, she couldn't accomplish this alone. She needed a partner, and this partner had to be someone who trusted her completely and had access to the leyline map. No matter how the leyline map was dealt with in the end, it would be handed over to someone, and she had to get the leyline map from this person and recycle it.
After much thought, the only suitable candidate is Chen Chu.
The geo-vein map was brought back by Senior Chen Chu. There is a high probability that the headquarters will let Senior Chen Chu handle the geo-vein map. Even if he doesn't know how to do it, if Senior Chen Chu takes the initiative to ask for it, the probability is also very high. It is best to make up another set of arguments to prove that the geo-vein map can be sent back to the sub-space.
Wait, why would I write it myself
"System, can the geomagnetic map be sent back to the subspace?" Lin Xi thought of the system.
"One hundred merit points." System.
Lin Yan's eyes lit up. She didn't refuse directly, which meant there was hope: "Okay."
[-100 Merit Points.]
"The geomagnetic map can be moved when it is not connected to the region." The system gave an affirmative answer.
"You mean when the leyline map is not absorbing the power of the earth's leyline, but didn't you also say that once the leyline map is completely blank, it will immediately begin to absorb new leyline power?"
"So you need to find a kind of energy that contains the energy of subspace and the earth, which can carry the geomagnetic map for a short time." said the system.
Contains the energy of both sides at the same time
Lin Xi thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly occurred to her: "Superpowers? The superpowers of superpowers, the superpowers of superpowers who have entered the subspace? Superpowers are born on Earth, but because they often go in and out of the subspace and absorb energy stones brought out of the subspace, the superpowers in their bodies have the attributes of two worlds."
"That's right. At the moment when the geomagnetic map is completely blank, one person bears the energy consumption of the geomagnetic map, and at the same time a subspace door opens. If he can enter the subspace before his own energy is absorbed, he can bring the geomagnetic map in. However, even an S-level mutant can't bear it for more than a few minutes." said the system.
