At this point, Xu Guizhong could only tell Xie Mingan about the empire's secret research from the outside world.
Only then did Xie Mingan know that the empire had an independent research department that focused on testing whether humans could fuse with powerful genes from alien races to comprehensively enhance their own strength.
Xu Guizhong said with a headache: "The experiment finally showed signs of success a while ago. Several experimental subjects after No. 43 have successfully fused with alien genes. In addition to the improvement and change of their physique, they have also maintained their human status after testing. memory and thinking.”
This should be what Gu Xiyu accidentally bumped into at that time.
"As a result, just after the experimental subjects were transferred from the underground base to the scientific research department, their brain waves suddenly began to change, gradually matching the frequency of the alien race, and then they were out of control... Many people died, and their physiques were specially strengthened, The IQ is slightly higher than the general aliens, and the guards who stay behind can't stand it at all."
Xu Guizhong still didn't explain things completely. For example, the transition point was created by the empire at the beginning. Combined with Wen Yu's previous negative impression of humans, maybe the empire has long discovered that there are very powerful aliens outside the realm. Since then, they have quietly arrested the creatures they encountered and returned, and this experiment may be the original purpose of the Empire's opening of the jumping point.
I just didn't expect to shoot myself in the foot now.
Xie Ming'an just thought it was ridiculous: "Are you crazy? Combine people with aliens and turn them into that kind of murderous species?"
"What? If the experiment is successful, does the Empire still want to cultivate such an army and continue to fight in the galaxy?"
Maybe it was because he was stepped on the idea, Xu Guizhong's eyes dodged, and his tone was a little helpless: "This is the decision above, you know that the people under us can only do what we are told."
Xie Ming'an sneered: "Above? Which one is it? Your Majesty? Prince? Or—the second prince?"
Xu Guizhong was startled, turned his head to look around, lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Pay attention to your words."
Xie Ming'an was quite stubborn: "The palace is almost gone, they don't want to solve the crisis quickly, do they still care about the words of a little guy like me?"
While they were arguing, Gu Xiyu sneaked past the barrier and sneaked into the base of the scientific research department.
Important researchers have been arranged to evacuate, and there is no one in the inner and outer courtyards of the base. Even if there is, it is just a corpse lying on the ground. The outbreak inside was too sudden, and they fled in a hurry. There were still many important research and equipment that had not been taken away, and some could not even be moved directly, so they absolutely could not give up this branch.
There is also another wave of situations in the palace that needs to be dealt with urgently. The troops sent by the United Front Center are mainly to solve the crisis in the palace. They can only block the research department where the out-of-control experimental body is left, and wait for the support to be in place to clear the danger inside. Only then can we go back and pack up important things and materials.
The main electricity was damaged, the corridors that were supposed to be lit with large white lights now only have red lights for emergency use, and the floor is in a mess. This time, Gu Xiyu found their small control room through the tail's induction of electricity and signals, and the tail was powered up, destroying all the monitoring.
After doing these things, he jumped off the height and walked toward the depths of the scientific research department. A lot of debris and paper fell on the aisle, as well as broken instruments, which shows how flustered the staff were when they escaped.
The doors of some rooms were wide open, while others were closed. From the outside, the scientific research department looks like there is only one floor. In fact, they have expanded several underground floors inside. Each floor has a large space and has countless large and small rooms. Gu Xiyu felt that it was unrealistic for him to visit every corner in a limited time.
He found the floor indicator board attached to the wall, among which there was only one word on the side of the fifth underground floor - NOVA Special Research Department.
It was reported that they believed that the beads were the breakthrough of the NOVA plan, and there was a high probability that things were hidden there, so Gu Xiyu went straight to that department. The elevator was temporarily closed due to power problems, and he had to go down the stairs.
As soon as he opened the door of the stairwell, he heard the sound of steel products rolling down two floors or so. He walked quietly to the edge of the hollowed out armrest and looked down, and could vaguely see a black shadow moving slowly in a red light.
If he didn't want to meet the crazy experimental subjects left in the research department, he would have to go around the stairs to another stairway, and there was no guarantee that he would encounter other experimental subjects. Since Xu Guizhong and the others came to Xie Ming'an, they must be counting on him to clear the internal experimental body. Xie Mingan will bring people in immediately, he has no spare time.
Gu Xiyu walked downstairs cautiously, and finally saw a shirtless 'man' who was twice as tall as an ordinary person, squatting with his back to him in front of the exit of a certain floor. His clothes were torn, his back had raised stripes as thick and intricate as tree roots, and his ears had become elf-like.
The other party was holding something he couldn't see clearly in his hand, and he was chewing something in his mouth. It sounded like the sound of meat and bones being chewed. A blood-stained white coat lay beside his legs, and there seemed to be some reflective metal objects in the corners. Gu Xiyu thought for a while, and decided that it would be better not to delve into what was lying on the pile of blood.
This experimental body is very fat, almost occupying the entire corner, if he wants to walk around in a normal way, he will be found. He stared at the stair rail for a few seconds, then silently flicked his tail behind him a few times.
In the stairwell, the mutant experimenter with the black '044' number printed on its right arm was happily eating, and its pointed ears moved suddenly, as if hearing something. He turned his head quickly, his blood-red eyes looking behind him vigilantly.
The stairs up and down are empty. He even went to the stairs and looked up and down a few times, but saw nothing.
On the other side, Gu Xiyu, with the flexibility of the tiger rabbit's tail, flung himself to the fifth floor through the support of the armrest in just a few seconds.
He quickly found a special department with the four letters of NOVA printed with red paint. He originally thought that he could repeat the old trick and open the door by sneaking into the underground base in the palace. As a result, he found out that even the door of this department is very special, and it can't be opened by simply swiping a card. There is a groove on the side of the door, which is a very complicated design. Only by inserting a special key can the door be opened.
This kind of key must only be obtained from the staff.
Gu Xiyu remembered the metal objects he saw near the white coat before going downstairs.
If he had known that he had to go back, he might as well take down the big guy head-on just now.
Squatting on the spot to breathe for a moment, Gu Xiyu jumped up layer after layer in resignation. It's probably the stairway on the third floor underground, and the test subject number 044 is still there. This time, he heard Gu Xiyu's voice coming up, and when he turned to stare at him with a fierce expression, he was still holding a broken human arm, which was gnawed like a dog.
He stared at Gu Xiyu and said stiffly, "Rabbit, son?"
The frontal face of the experimental subject has also changed, and no longer has the same upright facial features as humans, the mouth and nose have expanded a lot, and the pupils are gradually approaching the aliens. Gu Xiyu saw that some of the exposed skin on his body was still a little green, similar to the green-skinned aliens he had met before.
Gu Xiyu looked at his coveted expression and knew that he was also treating him as food.
When number 044 rushed towards him, he jumped to avoid his big hand trying to grab him, and his long tail took the opportunity to wrap around his ankle, releasing a powerful electric shock by feel. The 044 subject let out a dull whimper and stumbled back into the corner, looking injured, but not entirely fatal.
Electric shock alone doesn't seem to work.
He held up his own small paw, and when 044 rushed towards him again, he grabbed him hard, and his claws scratched deep bloodstains from the reinforced hard outer skin.
In the next process of fighting against No. 044, Gu Xiyu also developed the ability of this body, and gradually understood why he said that the tiger and rabbit clan are sturdy in combat, and they are not afraid of the sky. It's not impossible for a small body to blow up the head of an experimental subject in one bite, but he thinks it's too disgusting and doesn't plan to do it.
Secondly, whether it is his small claws or his two legs, there is a certain degree of injury. Especially his legs can directly kick the experimental body several times stronger than him into the wall, and the tail can be used as a whip with its own electric shock, throwing red marks on the body.
After confirming his explosiveness, Gu Xiyu completely let go of his worries, and then completely crushed the experimental body who wanted to eat him, and even used him to unlock multiple skills of this body. The experimental body after merging with aliens is infected with some of their habits - such as bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
After discovering that he couldn't beat him at all, the test subject No. 044 was instantly cowardly, squatting against the wall with his head folded, making a humming sound from his mouth, which sounded a little aggrieved.
Gu Xiyu was like a cold little bully, standing in front of him with the attitude of a winner. Every time he took a step closer to him, he backed away from the corner.
He originally wanted to use Subject 044 to discover the Tiger Rabbit's ability, but his ears suddenly heard an explosion-like sound from a distance, mixed with gunshots and high-decibel howls.
The military came in.
Gu Xiyu could only give up this plan, grabbed the metal key that fell on the side, and was able to open the special department of NOVA, and hurried to the fifth floor. The backup power has not yet failed in the special department. After he inserted the key, the dark gray doors automatically opened to the left and right.
There were several emergency lights hanging on the wall, the light was weak, and the room looked very dim. Tiger Rabbit's eyesight is not very good in the dark, he can only barely see the road around him. As soon as you enter, it is a large, office-like place with many computers, desks and chairs, and some documents are scattered all over the floor in a hurry.
At this time, if someone stood outside the door, they would see the backs of the little tigers and rabbits walking around in the room.
"You left the Admiral's Mansion."
The sound of the system sounded after many days, and Gu Xiyu was in a trance, almost forgetting that there was an intelligent system strapped to his body. The system in this world is easy to get along with, but he is not active at all in the execution of tasks, and his attitude is very lax.
The pet ring on Gu Xiyu's paw is flashing red light, which is a signal sent by the tracker to the 'owner' remotely, indicating that the domestic pet has left the controlled range.
After doing the math, Wen Yu should have noticed this.
He explained to the system in his heart: "There is a good opportunity to come out and find something, and go back when you find it."
"You are too disobedient, the target will be angry."
Gu Xiyu listened to the system's reminder, and the little meat palm unconsciously stroked the metal ring a few times, and suddenly chuckled: "Really? I still think he likes being disobedient."
The system also laughed, and his tone sounded as dull as always: "Do you know him like that?"
Gu Xiyu replied calmly: "I also know that he likes sex | gas, he is a standard old sex embryo."
"...?"
Gu Xiyu didn't explain any further.
Beads are now the key research object of the NOVA department, and Gu Xiyu quickly found it. It was stored in a glass container and placed on a small round shelf. The light emitted from the inside of the beads was very dim, much darker than what I saw on TV before, like falling into autism and deep sleep.
It didn't light up again until the little tiger rabbit approached it.
Gu Xiyu felt a strange throbbing in his heart again, and as the light became brighter, the feeling became stronger. There is some kind of connection between this bead and the original body itself.
The vessel containing the beads was easily broken by him, and when he obtained the beads, a row of strange words floated on it. It was strange, but he understood.
It turned out that this bead contained important information. After Gu Xiyu read the contents without any obstacles, he finally made up another corner of the missing data in this world.
Tiger rabbits are extremely rare in the Orcs, and their IQ is online. Because of their special and powerful fighting ability, they have become the supreme rulers of the Orcs. In particular, they are one of the few orcs that can be completely transformed into human form. If there is no such thing as a detector, they can easily mix into the human race. It's just that some fur orcs led by Tiger Rabbit don't like unnecessary fights the most, and they rarely attack humans when it's not necessary.
Of course, this is not entirely the case.
The original body, the tiger rabbit, is a little prince in the orc race. The orcs knew that Wen Yu had sneaked into the empire, and even disintegrated the empire step by step. As a group that had received help from humans a long time ago, they did not want to see the extinction of the human race. So his father sent him as a messenger to negotiate with Wen Yu, the biggest supporter of the alien races.
Xie Ming'an's previous speculation was correct. The battleship of the Orcs was a human domain that approached with purpose, but it was not the damage he expected, but to persuade Wen Yu to bring peace. The information said that as long as Wen Yu accepted the request of the orcs, they would have a way to close the jump point, so that the aliens and humans who should not have met were isolated again.
The specific closing method is also in this bead, and it is indeed an indispensable key. In addition to the beads, another important thing is needed. After getting them together, the closure of the transition point can be completed.
Gu Xiyu went through all the information inside, and held the bead in silence for a long time before putting it in the small pouch under his abdomen.
After finding the beads, he hopped back and forth in the same direction. As soon as he stepped out of the NOVA special department, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a slight noise coming from beside him.
Like the sound of a gun | pulling the safety before pulling the trigger.
He stopped walking and slowly turned his head toward the place where the sound came from.
Xie Ming'an, dressed in black, was standing by the entrance of the NOVA department, holding a silver gun-shaped weapon in his hand, the muzzle of which was aimed at him. Xie Ming'an's eyes were very cold, and he also carried the cruelty that had been in the battlefield, and countless lives had been buried in his hands.
Although Tiger Rabbit is sturdy in combat, his body is as fragile as it appears on the outside. Xie Ming'an's weapons are definitely capable enough to send him away.
Gu Xiyu just stared at him without moving, his eyes calm.
Xie Ming'an did not pull the trigger immediately, but after a long time, suddenly said, "Gu Xiyu?"
Although his tone was suspicious, there was a certainty in his eyes.
Gu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would recognize him at a glance, and he didn't plan to continue to hide: "You know it's me?"
Xie Ming'an's gun was still aimed at him: "I doubted your identity before, and your eyes are easy to recognize."
"Also, I know about you sneaking into my aircraft from the Admiral's mansion."
Gu Xiyu: "..." It's not easy to fool anyone with an identity, so Xie Mingan deliberately let him slip in and wait here.
Xie Mingan asked him again: "What are you doing here? What happened in the palace and the scientific research department should have nothing to do with you."
"It really has nothing to do with me." Gu Xiyu answered truthfully, "Your empire took something important from me, I just want to get it back, I don't want to hurt anyone."
Of course, Xie Ming'an would not easily believe his statement. Although Xie Mingan didn't kill him for the time being, he kept him as a suspect: "You have to stay in my sight until Admiral Caesar comes back and gives me an explanation of your identity."
After all, Tiger Rabbit is still a member of an alien race, so Xie Mingan will have some scruples.
Xie Ming'an carried him to his aircraft after finishing the affairs of the scientific research department. Gu Xiyu watched him go to the military station on the other side of the main city, and asked helplessly in the co-pilot, "Can't you detain me in the Admiral's mansion first?"
"What do you say?"
Seeing his non-negotiable expression, Gu Xiyu sighed helplessly in his heart.
He should have been brought back to his resident workplace by Xie Mingan, but Xie Mingan suddenly received a communication on the way back, which directly changed the course and ran out of the main city.
Although he spoke very quietly, Gu Xiyu could still hear the content of their conversation.
Xie Mingan knew of Lu Feng's whereabouts.
When it comes to Lu Feng, he thinks of Wen Yu, the guy who is obsessed with packing people back as gifts for him.
"Since you have something to do, why don't you let me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Mingan responded indifferently: "No."
Gu Xiyu turned his back and didn't intend to ignore him anymore.
What I originally thought was to quietly return to the Admiral's mansion when I got the things, so that no one would find out that he had gone out. It's better now, the Admiral's Mansion can't go back for the time being.
He glanced at the red light flashing back and forth on his wrist again, and felt even more worried.
If the Great Demon King sees that he has not returned to the Admiral's Mansion for a long time, I wonder if he will think wildly, thinking that he broke his promise and ran away
It would be great if Wen Yu also knew of Lu Feng's whereabouts, then they might meet there, and then they could explain the situation to him directly.
Gu Xiyu thought about it, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.
When Wen Yu saw him and Xie Mingan together, would he ask: "Don't be too greedy, Lu Feng and Xie Mingan can only choose one as a gift, which one do you want?"
- Such a bizarre question
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Wen Yu: It's not impossible to take both.
Gu Xiyu: ...
Great Demon King: He's joking, don't take it seriously.
