Views:

Xiao Mo asked: "With their belly so big, are they about to lay eggs? What about the male insects?"

"Perhaps it was eaten by it?" Xue Lihong continued to shine the flashlight inside to see if there was anything left behind. "There are many bugs in the insect world like this. In order to have enough nutrition for the next generation, the female bug will eat the male after mating. Devoured by worms.”

Xiao Mo shook his head, "Are those or that breeder crazy? Don't they think about the consequences of raising these bugs?"

Xue Lihong replied: "Everyone has their own reasons, maybe they are also forced."

"So they might be killed if they don't complete the mission?" Xiao Mo suddenly realized.

"Anyway, according to the tasks previously released by the system, these female bugs will start laying eggs around noon tomorrow. Just like what you told the patrol officer, just imagine, the whole city will What does it look like when it’s overrun with these metal-eating bugs?”

The young man seemed not to know how terrifying he had said. After checking that there were no other bugs in the instrument, he began to reinstall the instrument casing, trying not to let anyone discover that the instrument had been tampered with.

Xiao Mo's face became extremely ugly, "Is all this a conspiracy by a certain country against our country? Or are there some racist lunatics who want to exterminate other races?" Or are they aliens

Xue Lihong shrugged, saying that he didn't know either.

Xiao Mo saw the young man moving the instrument and quickly stepped forward to help. The metal-cased instrument looked very heavy.

Seeing that he was here to help, Xue Lihong let go of her hand without knowing why.

Xiao Mo didn't pay attention. He held the insect with a clamp in one hand and pushed it hard with the other hand... Huh? Push it again!

The instrument was motionless.

Xiao Mo was a little in disbelief. He handed the clamp to the young man and tried hard with both hands, but he still didn't push the instrument at all.

"I obviously saw that you moved it out easily..." Xiao Mo fell silent when he saw the young man's expression.

Xue Lihong returned the clip to him and patted his shoulder, "It seems that strength is not within the scope of your mutation. It's okay, Lao Xiao, there is no shame in a man with less strength."

Xiao Mo said, "My strength is not small, but your strength is too inhuman!" He looked so thin.

"Well, I've practiced martial arts for thousands of years, so it's normal for me to be stronger than you."

"...Can your inner strength and mental skills be passed on to others?"

"No." The young man cut off the man's extravagant hopes.

Xiao Mo made a sad expression, took out the glass bottle and tried to put the bugs in, but found that it couldn't be put in.

"It's full, let's kill them here. Now that we know that these bugs are not afraid of axes or flooding, we should try next..."

Xue Lihong suddenly raised her hand and looked towards the door.

Xiao Mo remained silent. He also heard footsteps and someone seemed to be yelling.

"Director Qian, this is an order from the state!" An angry shout full of official tone sounded outside the door.

Then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, as if a group of people were surrounding someone.

"The order? The order is to use my son as a guinea pig? Fuck your mother's order!" A middle-aged man's voice cursed loudly and angrily.

"I, Qian Kairui, am here today. If you want to take my son away, you have to step over my body!"

"Director Qian!" A woman's voice sounded.

"Director Qian, are you threatening me?" the young male voice yelled at the beginning with obviously suppressed anger.

"I just threatened you, what's wrong with you?"

"Captain Zhang! Go and bring Qian Yunkai." A young male voice ordered.

"None of you are allowed to leave here!" the middle-aged man shouted crazily.

"Old Qian, calm down!" The female voice raised her voice, "We are still verifying whether you are the commissioners sent by the National Institute of Bioengineering Technology. Before we get the verification results, no matter who you are, you can't do anything without permission. Take any patient away. Now, I ask you to let Wang Cheng go first!"

Xue Lihong walked to the door and gently locked the door.

Xiao Mo forced the worm into the bottle, pressed the bottle cap with his hand, walked lightly to the door.

"Brooke, when did you become a researcher at my country's National Institute of Bioengineering Technology?" A mocking voice that sounded slightly familiar to Xiao Mo sounded outside.

"Yunkai!" Several people's voices shouted at the same time.

"Director Cai, dad." The man named Yun Kai seemed to be greeting the two people.

The more Xiao Mo listened to this voice, the more he felt that he had heard it before, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

"Yun Kai, why are you here? Didn't I let someone tell you not to come over?" The middle-aged man yelled in anger and surprise.

"Old Qian, it was me who asked..."

"Cai Jinhua!" The middle-aged man's roar was full of sadness and anger at being betrayed.

"Old Qian, please listen to my explanation. Letting Yun Kai leave without showing up is not the solution. If they are really a country..."

"Enough! We made it clear at the beginning that my son would participate in the research on this epidemic, but he would not leave the city and would only be conducted at the city's disease center. Moreover, he would only provide part of the samples on a regular basis. Their group's research He is also responsible, why has everything changed now?" Lao Qian shouted angrily.

"Old Qian, I didn't say I wanted to give your son away as a guinea pig! Who do you think I, Cai Jinhua, am? Can you calm down?" Cai Jinhua was also angry.

"Dad, Director Cai is right. You should calm down. Escape is not the solution. Let us clarify the situation first."

"There may be a delay outside. Let's deal with these bugs first." Xiao Mo, who was slightly uneasy, said in a low voice.

Xue Lihong took out the recharged electric shock rod and said, "Try this."

The power of the electric shock was really powerful. Xiao Mo adjusted the energy valve to the maximum and inserted it directly into the glass bottle. A few rays of lightning flashed. The bugs in the bottle were so full that they had no room to struggle and were all killed. Electrocuted.

"Finally all killed."

Xiao Mo poured out the dead bugs from the bottle. As soon as he got them in his hands, a system reminder sounded in his head: "One-third of the mission target recovery is completed, and there are still sixteen left. Scavengers, please continue to work hard."

All insect corpses disappeared.

Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo nodded, indicating that the recovery was successful.

outside the door.

"You are Qian Yunkai. Hello, I am the special commissioner sent by the National Institute of Bioengineering Science and Technology. My surname is Bao, Bao Yuezhi. You may not have heard of my name, but you should know my father's name. , he is Bao Yiyong. This patient mutation research project will be jointly conducted by the disease center led by my father and the National Institute of Biological Sciences... "

"It turns out he is Minister Bao's son. What do you do here?" Qian Yunkai interrupted Commissioner Bao and asked politely.

Commissioner Bao was blocked. He was probably unhappy. He stopped saying polite words and said coldly: "We are very interested in you and Wang Cheng's situation. We hope you can come to the capital to cooperate with us."

"Then why is this person here?"

"You mean Dr. Brooke? He is..."

Qian Yunkai interrupted Commissioner Bao again, "Brooke, has your Jino Bioengineering Company gone bankrupt?"

The foreigner named Brooke chuckled lightly and replied in fluent Chinese: "Of course not. If any company goes bankrupt, our Geno Company cannot go bankrupt. We are cooperating with your country's disease center to solve some issues, and we happened to hear about the situation here. , so I volunteered to come along."

"Commissioner Bao, is your father crazy? He actually cooperated with the notorious Genuo Company? Doesn't Minister Bao know that Genuo Company likes to directly use human bodies for research? Even their own people do not welcome this company, but you have treated these beasts Welcoming guests?"

Commissioner Bao just burst out a sound, and Brooke laughed and said: "Qian, your mouth is still as vicious as before. Maybe some people do not welcome our Keno Institute, but you can't deny that every country in the world They all very much welcome the drugs we have researched. Everything requires sacrifice. If there is no sacrifice, there will be no gain... "

"Then go back to your country and let the citizens of your country sacrifice and sacrifice. You are not welcome in China!"

"Qian, whether you welcome us or not is not your decision."

Qian Yunkai sneered, "I won't go with you. I also believe that as long as the people at the National Institute of Biological Sciences are not mentally broken, it will be impossible to cooperate with you. As for Minister Bao of the disease center, we will appeal to the superiors and ask Who gave him the power to bring troops here to arrest people? Is this a regular army? If so, do you dare to issue a formal dispatch order? "

"Qian Yunkai, if we can bring people here, we will naturally have orders from the top. Letting you and Wang Cheng cooperate is also for the health of most people in the country. You actually push back and forth for your own selfish interests. You are still a doctor in vain. "Commissioner Bao accused loudly.

"I am a medical examiner, and I am only responsible for dead people. If you die, I will help you perform the most detailed autopsy. Dad, contact Superintendent Fang, this matter should fall under his jurisdiction."

"Yes! Why did I forget Fang Zhenggang? Wait, I will contact him right away!"

Director Cai also spoke, "Commissioner Bao, we haven't verified your identity yet. Before that, please let Wang Cheng go."

inside the door.

"Do you think those people named Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng are like me?" Xiao Mo, who had packed up and was about to leave for the next stop, was a little restless.

Xue Lihong raised her finger to indicate that his voice was too loud.

Xiao Mo immediately lowered his voice, "Then why did the people from the Institute of Bioengineering take them back? Do they really want to perform anatomy on them?"

Xiao Mo shuddered when he saw others and himself. But this room didn't even have a window, so they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

There were constant arguments outside, and the man named Wang Cheng remained silent. He didn't know whether he didn't want to speak or couldn't.

"It's useless for you to think so much now. You should complete the tasks assigned to you by the system first. Otherwise, you will be wiped out by the system before those people come to catch you." The young man was extremely calm.

Xiao Mo was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "You are right."

A deep light suddenly flashed in Xue Lihong's eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "It might be bad outside."

"how do you know?"

"experience."

Almost as soon as Xue Lihong's voice fell, several slight "puff" sounds suddenly sounded outside.

"Bang." There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

After a while, Commissioner Bao's voice sounded, "Don't worry about the others. Take Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng away!"

No one spoke, but orders were clearly followed.

"Bao, wait a minute. In addition to these two people, there should be other deep mutants." A slightly weird foreign accent sounded, "Have someone search other rooms to avoid missing out."
