The man is still human, without any distortion, but he has mastered the awakening ability of Gu Yinduo's offspring. This feeling is a bit like Bai Kui, mastering the power of the offspring but not completely distorted.
But the woman has been completely deformed, she is weird.
Under Xu Le's gaze, Warlock Luo and the female monster performed some relatively intimate actions, but the female monster stopped the warlock and rejected this intimacy.
Warlock Luo clearly showed a helpless expression, and whispered to the woman strangely:
"Just wait here for me. I'll confirm the target and then decide what to do next. No matter if it's for our mission, for ourselves, or even for our children, don't be impulsive, okay?"
The woman's weird expression originally had some bloodthirsty and crazy meaning, and even their mission did not calm her down.
But after hearing Luo mention their child, the woman's strange expression finally softened a little. She stared at Luo in front of her and finally nodded.
After the couple said goodbye, Warlock Luo walked directly into the Zion Progressor Building.
His wife sat at the door of a beverage store, ordered a drink that she didn't drink at all, and covered herself with a hood.
Meow! ~
Ding Ke stared at the woman and obviously noticed the problem as well.
This person is no longer human.
Perhaps there really is a distinction between good and evil in the weird, just like the ancient gods like Rain Girl and Cowherd who live in harmony with the world, but looking at the aura of the woman in front of him, Xu Le had no way of judging her as non-dangerous.
This is very troublesome!
Meow meow!
Ding Ke tilted his head and touched Xu Le's hair with his claws. The meaning was very clear.
"You can't just ignore a monster walking among the residents, right?"
Xu Le smacked his lips and pondered:
"You must think twice before you act, and you can't act blindly."
Ding Ke opened his eyes slightly. He liked listening to Xu Le's talk the most. Although he didn't have much ability, the theories he talked about always made people feel they made sense.
Meow
"First, can you not do it?"
Ding Ke: …
"Second, can we do it tomorrow?"
Ding Ke:
"Third, can it be handed over to someone else?"
Ding Ke was speechless. Was this what Xu Le meant by "think twice before acting"
However, Xu Le himself analyzed it seriously.
“First of all, a monster is wandering on the street. No matter what its purpose is, given the nature of the monster itself and the aura it exudes, we cannot just sit back and do nothing.
Then there is the progress of the event. If it is delayed until tomorrow, this monster is likely to escape and cause greater harm.
Finally, can this matter be handed over to someone else?"
The answer is yes.
Xu Le calmly walked to the Moonstone communicator on the street. Although this device was fairly common, it was very expensive, costing 90 cents to make a call.
To be honest, Xu Le still felt a little distressed.
Dialing the phone, Xu Le pinched his throat and said:
"Hello, Law Enforcer Hall?"
"Yes, this is the Law Enforcer's Hall. What can I do for you?"
"Downstairs in the Zion Progressive Building, at table number three in front of Li Xue's beverage store, there was a strange creature with many descendants sitting there.
She is an unknown aberration, level 3, a polluter of the Ancient Sound Multi-Descendant Diamond, with the awakened ability of skin and bone hardening. She looks like this...
Don't kill her after you catch her. She may have other purposes. Find someone to deal with her as soon as possible. If you delay for too long, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Hey? Are you telling the truth? Who are you?"
"I am Mr. Xu, a concerned citizen."
"Hey? Wait a minute."
Without waiting for the other party to continue asking questions, Xu Le hung up the phone.
This place is right downstairs of the Zion Progress Building. In fact, it is very easy to confirm the existence of this strange thing. Xu Le believes that after this communication, both the Zion Enforcer and the Zion Progress Building should take action.
Ding Ke tilted his head. He thought Xu Le was going to solve it himself, but he didn't expect him to use this method.
"Don't look at me like that. This is what I should do." Xu Le smiled and nodded to Ding Ke.
Meow!
After making the report, Xu Le took Ding Ke to the 8th floor. For some reason, bringing Ding Ke to see Rewi Alley always made Xu Le feel nervous.
After all, the relationship between him and Ding Ke is very special.
Between the dogs...
Xu Le suddenly felt like he was behaving like a scumbag. What was going on? He was really not that kind of person!
When Xu Le reached the 8th floor, he saw Gou Zi packing his things as soon as he entered the door.
He asked in some surprise:
"Are you going to be discharged from the hospital? Isn't it a little too early?"
Ai Li nodded:
"It's a little early, but there's nothing else for me to do here. It's almost time to observe, so I want to go back to work. Of course, I won't force myself."
As Ai Li spoke, his gaze gradually shifted from Xu Le to the black cat.
"Why did you think of bringing your kitten today?"
"Uh..." Could Xu Leneng say that it was the beast that insisted on following him
When Ding Ke saw Ai Li asking him, he did not show any weakness and jumped directly off Xu Le's shoulder and fell into Xu Le's arms.
He tilted his head comfortably, raised his tail, and had a teasing look in his eyes.
Meow!
Xu Le held Ding Ke's head and asked him to sit still. This guy is not like this normally... Trouble.
Looking at the coquettish Ding Ke, Ai Li suddenly laughed:
"Your cat is so cute, can I hug it?"
Seeing Ai Li's generous look, Ding Ke's mouth twitched... Why did he feel like he lost again
Xu Le was a little hesitant. Although Ding Ke was very close to him on weekdays, he was not close to him in the same way as other people. His attitude towards Wang Shu was not very good.
Of course, it was also because Brother Shu reminded Xu Le several times to throw away the black cat because Ding Ke was holding a grudge.
Xu Le looked at Ding Ke, with a questioning look in his eyes. Ding Ke originally wanted to refuse, but after a little hesitation, he stood up, jumped off Xu Le, and hopped onto Ai Li's bed.
Ai Li had no idea about Ding Ke's identity, so he didn't feel on guard.
After seeing Ding Ke jump onto the bed, Ai Li subconsciously clapped his hands, motioning Ding Ke to come into his arms.
Ding Ke hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
Meow!
The cat was picked up by the dog and put into his arms.
"Wow, it's so cute!"
Ding Ke was pressed against Ai Li's chest, and for a moment he seemed to lose himself.
Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing
Why is she so big
This is not fair!
Xu Le looked at Ai Li squeezing Ding Ke with his chest, feeling both sympathy and a little bit of envy. It’s so good to be a cat!
Ding Ke was held in Ai Li's arms, and gradually stopped struggling. He could even press Ai Li's chest with his claws, and it was unclear whether he was gesturing or doing something else.
Then it will make an "ah" expression.
Cats are creatures that no one can resist!
After teasing Ding Ke for a while, Ai Li looked at Xu Le and brought the topic back to business.
"You haven't been working properly recently because of my affairs, right?"
"Uh, no."
In fact, even if the Rewi Alley incident hadn't happened, Xu Le wouldn't have worked properly. Slacking off was his main focus.
"I heard that Dr. Xia Libo invited you to work with him on research and development. Dr. Xia Libo is a very capable person. He has made outstanding achievements in ancient sound biology. You should seize this opportunity."
Xu Le curled his lips and said, I’m also very capable, okay
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. After all, working with someone as great as Dr. Xia can also help improve my academic level."
Ding Ke was lying in Ai Li's arms. When he heard Ai Li instructing Xu Le about work, his expression became strange.
Such a virtuous woman is indeed very suitable for Xu Le.
Wait, Ding Ke, how can you have such an idea? You are a great...
"Did you get any results for yesterday's fruit after you went back?"
Hearing Ai Li's question, Xu Le frowned slightly, because he had indeed encountered some strange people related to corundum before.
"You're the security officer here, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Have you ever seen a person like this? He is about 30 years old, with short hair and wearing a blue warlock coat..."
Xu Le simply described Luo's appearance to Ai Li. He didn't know whether Ai Li could confirm the other party's identity with such a simple description.
But what is certain is that this person should be working in this area.
After hearing Xu Le's description, Ai Li thought quickly and soon she had the answer.
"The security warlock here, the third-level arcane warlock Luo, is a very low-key person with a certain level of experience. It is said that he has worked for the Zion Progressor for several years. What's wrong?"
A level 3 arcane warlock? A planeswalker
"This person has the mark of ancient Yinduogang stone on his body." Xu Le confirmed.
"Giant stone?"
Ai Li didn't know much about the Son of Gu Yinduo, but Xu Le didn't have time to explain it to her in detail at this time:
"I'm going to Xia Libo's place."
Xu Le looked at Ding Ke as he spoke, but Ding Ke obviously had no intention of leaving. He actually lay in the dog's arms and buried his head in his chest. Wow, it was an unprecedented feeling!
Xu Le was a little speechless, but it was naturally a good thing for cats and dogs to live in harmony.
"Then I'll go first."
"Well, go ahead. I still have to do some routine tests before I can be discharged."
…
Xu Le walked out of the ward. Xia Libo's office was on the 8th floor, not far from here.
It was only a few days ago that Xu Le was invited to join, so it should be no problem to go to Xia Libo now!
"Um?"
Inquiring about Xia Libo's office, two guards walked past Xu Le.
Xu Le's gaze paused on one of the guards, and his expression became hesitant.
There is a corpse in this area. The current light level is 6, and the area is bright. The corpse will be deformed into a level 1 weirdness after 63 hours, 24 minutes and 12 seconds.
Xu Le blinked his eyes to confirm that there was no problem with his ancient secret language.
The area prompt will only appear when looking at this guard.
"Is this person... dead?"
Xu Le had a puzzled look on his face. If this person was dead, how could he be moving normally
"Hello, Xu Le? Why are you here?"
When Xu Le was wondering, Xia Libo just walked out, and the yellow-green ball obviously sensed Xu Le.
Xu Le felt uncomfortable when he heard Xia Libo's tone and retorted:
"Didn't you invite me here? Why are you not welcome at this time?"
"Uh, I didn't mean that. I'm just busy today."
Xia Libo withdrew his hand calmly, obviously hiding something.
"Can I come to your place and take a look?" Xu Le asked.
Xia Libo thought about it for a while, and finally nodded:
"Okay, come on then."
"So reluctantly..."
"No, no forcing me. You're welcome to come." Xia Libo felt a little helpless because of Xu Le.
What a guy. He didn't come earlier or later, but had to come when he was about to set up a hunting trap. Warlock Luo was not an easy guy to deal with. Of course, he had to prepare carefully.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, Xia Libo still welcomed Xu Le's arrival. Xu Le was an outstanding talent.
Everything Xia Libo did was essentially for the development and stability of Zion.
Doctor and researcher are his primary duties, which are for the development of Zion, while mark hunting can only be regarded as his secondary job.
It would be great to be able to hunt down an Ancient Sound Multi-Mark Polluter with your own hands and obtain the Mark.
If that didn't work, he could also find a way to find a chance to examine Luo and accidentally discover it... and then perform surgery to remove it, just like he did with Rewi Alley.
But if this method doesn't work, then he can only report it and let law enforcement officers handle it.
But Xia Libo always felt that nothing good happened when Xu Le was around...
Following Xia Libo to his laboratory on the 8th floor, Xia Libo clapped his hands as soon as he entered the door.
"Today I would like to introduce a new companion to you, Xu Le..."
After Xia Libo greeted them, the doctors and researchers in the office came over one after another. Xia Libo's department was mainly responsible for the biological research of Gu Yinduo, and was committed to developing biological equipment and preparations that could directly restrain Gu Yinduo.
"This is Mr. Luo Gai, in charge of biological agents."
"This is Miss Wang Ting, responsible for the analysis of ancient Yinduo organisms..."
Xia Libo patiently introduced the people here to Xu Le, and Xu Le also shook hands with these people one by one in a friendly manner.
These people have achieved certain results in their respective fields and projects. If I really want to start from scientific research and establish research results in the future, I will definitely be inseparable from these people, and also from Xia Libo.
Moreover, it is impossible for Brother Li to complete plans such as energy and biological expansion arrangements alone.
He needs to rely on a larger R&D team.
"Hello, I'm Xu Le. This is my first time here. Please take care of me." He rubbed his hands.
Naturally, some people recognized Xu Le's identity as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Kuroshio. People who do research are very arrogant, but arrogance varies from person to person.
Children like Xu Le who are humble, polite, and know how to contribute to Zion are naturally very respected.
"Don't say that. Since you've entered Lao Xia's department, you're one of us."
"Yeah yeah."
These people greeted Xu Le for a while. Of course, most of them did so because Xu Le was an outstanding young man.
Xia Libo did not interrupt and just waited for the two sides to finish their greetings, then said:
"Since there are new people joining, let's hold a meeting here."
"Meeting?" Xu Le was slightly surprised.
“Yes, my department rarely holds meetings, but there is a meeting for every new person who joins, and the purpose of this meeting is very simple.
Unify the research direction of the department. "
"Unify the department's research direction?" Xu Le asked doubtfully.
“Yes, researchers in each department can have different projects and different ideas, but we must unify our directions. Only when we unify our directions can we complement each other.
The main directions of the department are biological analysis, research and development, and biological enemy control. "
Xia Libo briefly explained the direction of the department to Xu Le, but Xu Le asked as if he had been prepared:
“Are there any obvious results now?”
"Mark removal surgery is an extension of this," said Xia Libo.
Xu Le nodded, then shook his head. It was not that he thought the mark removal surgery was bad, but that this technology could not change the situation at present.
This kind of thing is not the root cause of the current predicament.
After sensing Xu Le shaking his head, Xia Libo frowned slightly. No matter what, it was an unpleasant thing to have one's research denied.
“Everyone has their own ideas. Our direction may not be suitable for you. You can choose not to accept it or quit.
Of course, you can also put forward your ideas and impress us with your thoughts and ideas. "
Hearing Xia Libo say this, Xu Le nodded slightly. What a grand idea! I am going to impress you.
"I understand what Dr. Xia means. We are all pursuing light and trying to get out of the dark predicament. Defeating the enemy is indeed a way to win.
But if we want to get out of this predicament, besides defeating the enemy, maybe there are some more appropriate methods?"
"A more appropriate method?"
"What do you think is Zion's current predicament?"
When Xu Le asked this question, Xia Libo raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he had no eyes, his expressions and movements were still very rich.
"The black tide is getting more ferocious each time, and the strange abilities are complex and powerful. This is the root of the dilemma, so we have to think about how to deal with it."
After Xia Libo finished speaking, Xu Le looked at the other people again. It was obvious that this statement was also agreed by others.
However, Xu Le's idea was more straightforward, even going straight to the point, which was the productivity and energy issue that he and Li Wen had discussed before.
"I agree with what Doctor Xia said. The black tide is fierce, strange and powerful, but can we change our way of thinking? What is the reason for its strangeness and power?"
"What's the meaning?"
“The reference point for the weirdness’s power is ourselves. It’s because we humans are weak that the weirdness’s power is highlighted.
On the other hand, if we humans are strong enough, then will the weirdness not be so strong? "
Xu Le's question made everyone else stunned. It was true, but making oneself stronger...
Unlike the hesitation of the others, Xia Libo was a little shocked.
Xu Le's ideas were indeed different from those of ordinary people. His ideas were closer to the essence of things, and it was indeed correct to invite him here.
"Tell me what you think, Xu Le."
“Zion has very strong productivity, weapons manufacturing, and Red Moon technology research and development, which are the strongest among the four major city-states.
But we are limited, energy limited, because Zion has been using coal until now, and the transportation and mining of coal is a very risky operation and can only be carried out during daytime.
This led to energy shortage in Zion, and energy shortage led to insufficient productivity, so Zion's development has never been able to make progress.
The result of insufficient development is that human beings are not strong enough, and what I want to do is to make up for this.
Improve Zion's energy and productivity, and make Zion stronger and greater."
These people might be smart, but their thinking is certainly not as broad as Li Wen's, so Xu Le must explain it more clearly.
Of course, some emotional rendering has to be added at the end.
Researchers are a group of people who fight for Zion. They like the rhetoric of making Zion great... This group of people likes it the most.
After expressing their thoughts, these people also fell silent. It was undeniable that what Xu Le said was a great truth.
Improving productivity and energy is indeed a very basic avenue, but the question is how to improve it
"Your idea sounds good. How do you think Zion should be improved now? What can we do?"
As soon as Xia Libo opened his mouth, Xu Le knew he was moved.
"Zion now needs a new energy source that can replace coal. This is a project, which I call the core plan."
"Core plan?"
"Yes, I actually agree very much with the idea of studying ancient sound organisms."
After hearing what Xu Le said, not only Xia Libo, but everyone else's expressions also eased a little.
But Xu Le continued:
“You always focus on the weirdness, but I don’t agree with that, because the essence of Gu Yinduo is not weird.
But it is the legendary tree in the Endless Sea of the East, the tree that gave birth to everything, the ancient Yinduomu tree.
I think in addition to studying the strangeness of Gu Yinduo, the Gu Yinduo tree and Gu Yinduo fruit are also things that are very worthy of study.
For example, I find things like mental energy very magical. Lust can actually be transformed into energy. Don’t you think it’s a very magical thing?”
When Xia Libo heard Xu Le mention the Guyinduo Tree and the Guyinduo Fruit, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Can you study that thing just because you want to? Where do the trees come from? Where do the fruits come from?"
Xu Le was surrounded by a group of people, and then he lowered his head silently.
Yes, where do trees come from? Where do fruits come from
"Well, this idea of mine is just a prototype, and it lacks the conditions for implementation."
Hey, sorry, actually I have all these things, and I can produce them continuously. The question now is how to reasonably lead this matter to fruit research and development
Xia Libo felt Xu Le lower his head, and his heart softened. After all, Xu Le was just a newcomer.
It was a bit excessive for them to make things difficult for a newcomer.
What's more, Xu Le himself also put forward very constructive opinions. For example, they all thought the issues of productivity and energy he mentioned were very reasonable.
After some conversation, everyone had actually accepted Xu Le's existence.
Xia Libo said to the others:
"I think Xu Le's idea is very constructive. In fact, we can all think about it. Defeating the enemy is indeed a means of winning, but as Xu Le said, improving oneself and making Zion even greater is also a very feasible method. What do you think?"
“Second.”
“Second.”
After everyone seconded the motion, Xia Libo turned to Xu Le and moved his yellow-green ball.
"It just so happens that after the last black tide, the 8th floor received a Guyinduo black tree fruit allocated by the council. If you are interested in the Guyinduo fruit, you can come and take a look."
Black tree fruit
Xu Le frowned slightly. This fruit should be one of the fruits confiscated by the Zion Council.
Wasn't it destroyed
"Okay, let's go check it out."
Being taken by Xia Libo to the corner of the 8th floor, as soon as Xu Le entered the door, he saw the blue-clothed sorcerer he had seen downstairs before!
Guardian Warlock of Zion's Progressor, Level 3 Arcane Warlock - Luo.
Could the Mystic Warlock be a Space Mage or a Planeswalker like Yi Xiaoya? If so, it would be very troublesome to deal with.
In addition to Warlock Luo, there was another person who caught Xu Le's attention.
It is the guard with a very special status.
There is a corpse in this area. The current light level is 6, and the area is bright. The corpse will be deformed into a level 1 weirdness after 62 hours, 43 minutes and 22 seconds.
The countdown shown on this person's body has not yet ended, which means that Xu Le was definitely not mistaken.
These people took a guarding posture and surrounded a purple fruit.
Xu Le looked intently at the purple fruit.
But the words "Guyinduo Fruit" did not appear in his field of vision.
The secret message of this fruit is a little strange...
What do you mean, playing Riddler, right
“This fruit was allocated to us by the parliament, and it says that this fruit has certain risks, but they did not specify what the specific risks are.
Just let us study it, and if there are any risks or other discoveries, we can report them in time. "
Xu Le's eyes never left the purple fruit. This flower-like fruit instantly reminded him of the one that appeared in the dog's ward last night.
The two have exactly the same form, so needless to say they are related.
"Granite..."
When Xia Libo was explaining the origin of the fruit, he suddenly discovered that Xu Le began to emanate spiritual energy with huge fluctuations, but there was no sign of him using any magic.
"Xu Le, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just felt that I saw something special."
"This fruit?"
"This thing is not a fruit, but something left behind by the ancient son of Yinduo, called the Seed of Pollution."
Seed of Pollution - Ancient Sound's Descendants - Diamond
After Xu Le injected spiritual energy into the ancient sound multi-vision, he could even see traces of this purple fruit releasing ancient sound multi-energy to the surroundings.
It's like the strange energy that the polluter radiates around.
However, the track and method of emitting energy from this fruit are more secretive, so secretive that even a sorcerer cannot detect it.
"I think we should destroy it." Xu Le said suddenly.
"Ah? Are you crazy? This fruit is one of the spoils of the entire Black Tide."
There are more departments on the 8th floor than just Xia Libo and his team. Xu Le's proposal sounds extremely undesirable and will naturally be opposed by others.
Xu Le frowned slightly. He couldn't say that he could see it, so he could only explain it as best as he could when faced with such doubts.
“I have conducted very detailed research on the Gu Yin Duo Fruit, and I can confirm that this is not the Gu Yin Duo Fruit at all.
Its name should be called the Ancient Sound Pollution Seed."
"Seed of pollution?"
“Yes, just like its name, the Seed of Pollution will naturally emit the energy of the Son of Ancient Yinduo, radiating all the materials around it and even changing their state.
For example, some originally ordinary objects have become things like pollution sources. This is the effect of the seeds of pollution.
I saw a contaminated apple last night. Judging from this distance, this contaminated seed has been here for so long, and someone here might have been contaminated."
When Xu Le said this, the blue-robed warlock Luo, who had been keeping his head down, narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Xu Le, but found that Xu Le was already looking at him.
Xia Libo raised his head slightly. He actually discovered the problem with Warlock Luo, but he didn't know the reason like Xu Le.
A not-very-loud siren sounded downstairs, and the warlock Luo, who had been silent, suddenly raised a pistol from his pocket.
Bang bang bang!
He was an excellent shooter and hit three people with three bullets.
Among them, Xia Libo's body became stiff and the bullets were ineffective.
Xu Le's body flickered slightly, and the bullet was ineffective.
The last person... died on the spot.
Luo's move shocked everyone, but he showed no sign of stopping. After firing three bullets, he suddenly raised his gun and aimed at the sealed box of the fruit.
Bang!
A guard subconsciously tried to block with his shield, but was stopped by Xu Le and Xia Libo:
"careful."
Warlock Luo had already raised two fingers.
"Technique - Disintegration."
Buzz! The sealed glass that was supposed to protect the box from the bombardment was suddenly shattered by the impact of a bullet.
Moreover, the sealing piece did not break into pieces, but melted like magma and drifted around.
"Save people and protect the fruit." Xia Libo shouted.
Everyone thought that Luo destroyed the sealed box in order to steal the polluted seeds inside, but they didn't expect that after destroying the sealed box, Luo directly crashed into the window, broke the glass and jumped down from the 8-story building.
While falling, Luo squinted and saw the beverage shop that had been surrounded by law enforcement officers.
He didn't see his wife from the tables and chairs outside. Was she exposed after all
"Why!"
Luo sighed, and suddenly, a sense of crisis rose from behind his head.
He didn't have time to turn his head, or even to make a reasonable defense, so he could only release the magic spell to defend himself.
"Procedure - Replacement."
Bang bang bang!
Ding ding ding!
Xu Le, who was also falling, looked at the black gun in his hand. There was nothing wrong with the gun, but the bullets he had just fired felt like they had hit sheet metal.
One of them even popped out, metal ability
After successfully resisting, Luo's body felt lighter and he landed safely on the ground.
Opposite him, Xu Le's body also turned into elements and landed steadily.
The two men raised their pistols at the same time and made shooting gestures, with no intention of negotiating or communicating at all.
"Crack."
"fear."
