Chapter 8: Fallen

Views:

The star corresponding to the sun in the galaxy where Tiansu is located is Zhiyang, and the planet corresponding to the moon is Haoyue, so the light emitted/reflected is also called sunlight and moonlight. The reason for this setting is not because the author is lazy, but for the convenience of you people on earth to understand, and it is not easy for the author to spread the culture of my star.

Ying Feng's voice successfully stopped Ling Xiao's struggle. Seeing that the person in his arms was quiet, Ying Feng slowly put down his hand.

Ling Xiao was half-held in his arms in an extremely ambiguous posture, and the two bodies were clinging to each other without any gaps. The breath exhaled by Ying Feng hit the back of Ling Xiao's neck like invisible pigment molecules , successfully dyed it red.

Someone came in, and there was a rustling sound in the laboratory. The two of them hid in the corner under the cover of the cabinet. They didn't know what happened, and they didn't dare to look around.

The door was pushed open again, and the person who had come in was obviously surprised when he saw the person who came in. His emotions were expressed in his voice, "How did you come here?"

This was the male voice they had just heard not long ago, gentle and elegant, as modest as jade.

"Don't forget, I've worked here too, and I know exactly what you're going to do."

The second voice was more familiar. Ling Xiao and Ying Feng exchanged a heart-to-heart look. It was Dr. Yao. If they hadn't seen the data in the laboratory, they would have been extremely surprised by this sentence.

Zhi Shang reluctantly squeezed a smile, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, the situation is very urgent now," there was another trivial sound, this time Ling Xiao heard the sound of glass crashing inside, and Zhi Shang's speech was fast "It's impossible to drive the aircraft to the lighthouse. Fortunately, we still have the second generation of burning embers left by the teacher."

"But the second generation was not fully developed back then. The teacher said that it was only a semi-finished product, and the side effects were very large."

"I can't take care of that anymore now."

Ling Xiao and Ying Feng couldn't restrain their curiosity, and risked the danger to sneak out for half a head. Fortunately, the two of them were concentrated and neither of them noticed anything unusual here.

Yaotai watched him move the chemicals in the bottle neatly into the syringe, and reached out his hand to stop him, "Let me go, don't forget, I am your deed master, and my ability is stronger than yours. ."

Zhi Shang smiled and touched her head, "Your responsibility is to protect the child, and my responsibility is to protect this place. Time is running out, I have to go."

After he finished speaking, he raised the syringe without hesitation, but the movement in his hand stagnated for a moment.

Unbelievable emotions flooded into his eyes, "You..."

Ren Lingxiao's two bystanders could also see that Zhi Shang's actions were not intentional, his hands were struggling and shaking, and the only word seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

Yaotai easily took the syringe out of his hand, put a light kiss on his lips, and whispered in his ear, "The order of the master must not be violated."

Zhi Shang couldn't move at all, and watched Yaotai inject all the bright orange potions into his body, smiled at himself, and disappeared in front of his eyes like lightning.

The base alarm sounded again, and the danger level was raised by one level. The largest meteorite produced by the planetary explosion was approaching at an alarming speed, and the lighthouse happened to be on its falling trajectory.

"Report, it has been confirmed that the meteorite will hit the lighthouse in one minute!"

"Fifty-nine, fifty-eight, fifty-seven..." The system automatically enters the countdown.

"Prepare the photon cannon," the second researcher ordered.

"The launch angle is not ideal, and the meteorite is too close to the lighthouse, which is prone to accidental injury," the staff reported.

The second seat slapped the console with a heavy palm. At such a critical juncture, where did the chief leave the stall and go

"Will the lighthouse be destroyed?" The students covered their mouths nervously, and some were about to cry.

The staff is full of gloom, and it is the first time that they have been in such a passive situation after working here for so long.

The system is still dutifully timing, "Ten, nine, eight..."

Just when everyone in the command center was at a loss, someone suddenly pointed at the monitoring screen, "Look!"

I saw a flash of light, and a nearly transparent protective cover was also covering the periphery of the lighthouse.

"Someone activated the emergency shield!"

Almost at the same time, a huge meteorite flew from the sky dragging the tail of flames and thick smoke, and it centered on the lighthouse without any bias. There was a huge impact sound, and the flying dust and smoke all over the sky suddenly enveloped the lighthouse relentlessly.

People stared nervously at the surveillance screen. After a while, the smoke cleared and the lighthouse was re-revealed intact.

There was a sigh of relief and cheers in the hall. Some people were holding their chests tightly, and some people were hugging warmly. It was the first time for the students to experience such a tense moment, and it seemed like a whole century had passed.

Ling Xiao and Ying Feng hid in the dark, not knowing anything except the muffled sound from afar, they could only see Zhi Shang staying motionless as if he had been casted by someone, until the sound passed. , the spell is lifted.

"Ayao!" As soon as Zhi Shangfang was able to move, he immediately rushed out.

Finally, when the opportunity came, Ying Feng gave Ling Xiao a push, "Let's go!"

Ling Xiao rushed out of the hiding place first, rushed to the door, and turned back without taking two steps. At this time, Ying Feng, who had already left the main entrance of the laboratory, frowned and was about to blame him when the man appeared again in before.

"This," Ling Xiao spread out his hands, the unlocker that Ying Feng had forgotten in his palm.

Ying Feng retracted what he wanted to say in time and put away the unlocker, but felt that something was wrong with Ling Xiao.

"What are you holding in your hand?" He stared at Ling Xiao's other hand, who guiltily hid his clenched fist behind him.

"Nothing, let's go, someone will come in a while."

Ying Feng didn't have time to reason with him, so the two quickly returned to Area G one after the other. Sure enough, there were staff there looking for the missing students. People who saw them ran over from a distance, "Are you all right?"

"The alarm went off just now, and when we were nervous, we lost our way," Ying Feng said calmly.

Ling Xiao also pretended to be flustered and nodded, "Yes, what happened just now?"

Ying Feng glanced at him, his hands were empty, he didn't know what he took from the laboratory just now, and where he hid it now.

"It was an asteroid that disintegrated unexpectedly nearby, but the alarm has been lifted," the staff explained to them. "You'll be fine, I'll take you back now."

"Planet disintegration? Are Dr. Yao and the other students all right?" Ling Xiao was mainly concerned with the former, but in case the other party became suspicious, he could only pretend to be ignorant of what happened in the talent's laboratory.

"The students are all in the hall, no one was injured. Assistant Yao left just now, but it should be fine."

"You called her Assistant Yao just now?" Ling Xiao keenly caught the loopholes in his words.

"Oh no, Dr. Yao," the staff changed his words in a panic, "I accidentally said something wrong."

Ling Xiao thought of the file he just saw, and probed tentatively, "Actually, Dr. Yao told me privately that she had worked at the base for a period of time before, and had followed a well-known mentor, who seemed to be called Tai. what… "

Ling Xiao's question was a bit risky, and it was easy to arouse suspicion from others. Even Ying Feng secretly sweated in the back of this kind of betting on odds.

The staff's eyes widened in surprise, "It's the former chief researcher Tai Yin. She even told you this? Your relationship must be very good."

"Uh, it's okay." Seeing that the other party was not suspicious, Ling Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Doctor Yao usually takes care of us and often talks about private matters."

"Doctor Yao... No, Assistant Yao was indeed an assistant researcher at the base before, but that was more than 30 years ago." The staff saw that Ling Xiao was an insider, so they abandoned their concerns and chatted.

"Not only that, but she is also a direct disciple of the former chief of the base. The former chief did not accept apprentices easily. He has only accepted three in recent decades. One of them is the current chief, Dr. Zhishang you just met."

"Why did Dr. Yao not continue to work at the base, but became a school doctor in our college?"

The staff was silent, and after a while, they said, "That's because an accident happened more than 30 years ago, the former chief made an irreparable mistake, and Assistant Yao and her junior brother chose to choose in this incident. Help your mentor."

"After the former chief left, Dr. Zhishang, who stood in the right position, was promoted to be the new chief researcher. Assistant Yao, who was about to become a full researcher, was deprived of his qualifications to continue working at the base because of this incident."

Ling Xiao finally linked the two events together, "What about Dr. Yao's junior brother? Where is he now?"

"You ask Yuquan? After realizing that he made a mistake, he lost his way and reported his mentor to the military, which is considered a crime and meritorious service. Although he was allowed to stay, with his qualifications, he could have been turned into a regular. , but he is still an assistant to this day, which is due to the legacy of the past."

Ling Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "The former chief is too Yin, what kind of person is he?"

The staff thought for a while, "The word genius is not enough to describe his strength. He is even more upright, courageous, mature and stable. All the staff who have worked with him do not admire him and admire him. A hundred responses."

"He has a higher IQ and perseverance than ordinary people. As long as it is what he believes, he must do it, but maybe it is because he is too persevering that he finally walked into a dead end."

He recalled the grief and regret in those days, and the words came from the bottom of his heart, and when he thought about it, he had also admired Tai Yin and held it like a bright light. Tai Yin's defection, I don't know how much the worship of people like him has been shattered.

But what surprised Ling Xiao even more was that it turned out that Dr. Yao also participated in that incident. I don't know what kind of role she played in it. To choose between Shien and justice, Dr. Yao must have something in her heart. Have a hard time.

Ling Xiao thought as he walked, the people in his mind actually appeared, Dr. Zhi Shang helped Yaotai to walk towards them, Yaotai was blushing and breathing quickly, obviously suffering from drug sequelae.

As soon as Ling Xiao saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them with concern, "Doctor Yao, are you alright?"

Yaotai shook his head weakly, and Zhi Shang explained to Ling Xiao for her, "A Yao's body is temporarily in some condition, and I can't take you back for the time being."

Ling Xiao naturally knew that it wasn't as simple as a temporary physical condition, but he could only pretend that he didn't know anything, "Okay, Doctor Yao, you have to take care of your health."

Yaotai nodded reluctantly, and Ying Feng who came later also gave her a slight nod, and the two passed by.

"The staff of the base will escort you back to the academy in a while. We are also very sorry for this rare off-campus internship," the staff said.

"Don't say that, it was just an accident," Ling Xiao thought to himself, if it wasn't for this accident, we wouldn't be able to enter the laboratory so easily, "Will you send us back later?"

"No, the entry and exit management of the base is very strict, and there will be colleagues from the outside who are responsible for sending you back."

"By the way, after chatting for so long, I still don't know what your name is?"

The staff smiled, "My name is He Gui. If you have the opportunity to come again in the future, you are welcome to come to me."

Ling Xiao and Ying Feng followed He Gui back to the hall. When three people saw them coming back, they rushed over. It was Pingzong and Lan Sheng who grabbed Ling Xiao and asked questions, while Ying Feng was naturally Zhu Yue.

Ling Xiao only perfunctoryly used the reason of getting lost, and his eyes kept drifting in the direction of Ying Feng during the speech. The latter didn't seem to show any concern for Zhuyue. No matter what the other party asked, he would reply coldly, and then he simply ignored it.

If the blood of the two of you melted together, I don't know if you would still show that ignorant expression to him, Ling Xiao thought to himself, but as soon as he had such an assumption, he felt stuffy in his heart. A stagnant air condensed in his chest, resolving difficulties.

On the other hand, Zhu Yue was also quite dissatisfied, "Where did you go just now? Why are you with Ling Xiao?"

Ying Feng's indifference is not aimed at Ling Xiao, even at Zhu Yue, who runs after him every day, "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

Zhuyue has just made a major decision, but Ying Feng has always ignored him, which makes his determination seem insufficient, "I'm just worried about you."

"I don't need your worries."

Ying Feng turned and walked away, Zhu Yue bit her lip aggrieved.

"The alarm is off, the shield can be closed," came the voice from the command center.

The staff who received the order pressed the release button, and the protective shield that had originally shrouded above the base slowly lowered, and the unfiltered sunlight came in again, but with the naked eye, it was impossible to tell the difference at all.

Somewhere in the depths of the base, there were two drops of dark red liquid that had not yet solidified on the windowsill, one of which trembled slightly, rolled to the side as if it had come to life, and merged intimately with the other drop. .
