Chapter 61 Crystal Core Bomb

"Bang"

The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Sui Cheng threw a punch.

Lu Zhi clutched his shoulder where he had been hit, his face contorted in a frown. Realizing he had said the wrong thing, he quickly tried to coax her, "Baby, let me explain. I really didn't mean it that way. I just suddenly thought of it and asked."

"Get out." You could tell from the passenger's tone that he was very angry.

He told him to get lost, so Lu Zhi couldn't leave even more. He stepped over and hugged him, coaxing him in an extremely gentle tone, "Don't be angry, it's my fault."

Sui Cheng's anger came and went quickly, but he didn't give Lu Zhi a friendly look, for fear that this person would take advantage of him.

Lu Zhi carefully observed his expression, and after making sure he wasn't really angry, she kissed his cheek and said softly, "I definitely won't ask that kind of question again in the future."

Sui Cheng shifted his neck somewhat awkwardly and whispered, "I haven't."

At 26 years old, he still hasn't had a sex life. If it were just ordinary friends, they would definitely be surprised or laugh at him.

But Lu Zhi was no ordinary friend; he could hardly contain his joy.

"And what about kissing? Was it your first time with me?"

"Um."

"Were all your first times with me?"

"..." The passenger refused to answer the question. If it was a first time involving intimate physical contact, then it seemed to be true.

Lu Zhi laughed and laughed, his laughter becoming increasingly ecstatic, even bordering on perverse.

Sui Cheng quickly realized what was happening, nudged him with his elbow, and warned in a cold voice, "If you dare to do anything you shouldn't, get out of here."

"No way!" Lu Zhi quickly raised his hands in surrender, indicating that he had no intention of taking action and was only thinking about it.

Sui Cheng snorted coldly, broke free from his embrace, and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep.

Lu Zhi slipped inside, hugged his waist, pressed against his back, rubbed his head against the back of his neck, and even gave him a lingering kiss on the back of his neck.

"Baby, I really love you so much."

Before the passenger could react with further anger, the lawyer decisively changed the subject.

"How's the matter with the crystal core going?"

"The evidence is insufficient, so the minister said that the laboratory staff can conduct a preliminary study first."

Upon receiving this answer, Lü Zhi was not surprised; in fact, it was expected.

For someone who is not human, humans are just so suspicious, yet so easily trusting of others.

——

After resting idly for three days, Sui Cheng received a message from the laboratory.

It was said that preliminary progress had been made in the research on crystal nuclei, and he was asked to go and see if it was feasible.

Sui Cheng said something to the law enforcement officer, and then went to the laboratory.

Coincidentally, Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie were also there.

As soon as he arrived, he walked up to the charioteer and said, "Minister Bai has already told me about the crystal core. Tell me first, how confident are you about this?"

After thinking for a moment, the passenger gave a fair answer: "60%."

“Okay, then I trust you.” Dang Hongyuan nodded and said, “I will ask the laboratory to pay more attention to the research on crystal cores, but controlling the use of crystal cores may not be possible.”

He had already received the answer from the law officer regarding the matter of following along and was mentally prepared.

"Let's go take a look."

Researchers have already produced weapons developed using crystal nuclei.

Inside the metal box was a small, silver-gray metal ball.

"This is a bomb we made using a fire-attribute crystal core," the researcher demonstrated. "We've placed all the energy of the crystal core into this small metal sphere, which will explode immediately upon being subjected to a powerful impact."

As he spoke, he threw a small metal ball, which slammed heavily against the wall.

With a "bang".

A hole was smashed through the sturdy metal wall.

"This is the current effect," the researchers said. "But the stability is not very good. It will explode immediately if it is accidentally hit, without giving people time to react, and it can easily injure innocent people."

"Has this stability issue been resolved?" Dang Hongyuan asked.

The researchers nodded: "Of course, it just takes some time."

"Is there nothing else besides this bomb?" the attendant asked, looking at the marks on the wall.

"For now, we've only used fire-attribute crystal cores," the researcher said, looking embarrassed. "We were thinking that if it were an explosion, fire-attribute might be more suitable."

“You’re thinking wrong,” Yang Xie suddenly said. “Any crystal core, regardless of its attribute, can play its role.”

“We will immediately begin studying it,” the researchers readily agreed.

"Where has the research on the alien species progressed?" Before leaving, the passenger suddenly asked the researchers about the alien species.

These secrets shouldn't be told to outsiders, but the charioteer is the face and benchmark of the Huaxia base, and he has been involved in many classified missions, so this kind of thing doesn't need to be kept secret from him.

The researchers immediately stated, "This evolution of the mutant is not solely due to that great mutation; it's more like a natural evolutionary process."

"What do you mean?" the attendant asked, frowning.

After thinking for a moment, the researchers explained to them in the simplest and easiest-to-understand way: "It's a bit like the kind of demonic beasts in cultivation novels. After years of cultivation, they develop intelligence and possess supernatural abilities."

"Although I know it's not a good way to put it," the researcher said, scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I still think that even without this catastrophe, biological evolution would have been inevitable sooner or later."

"Shh, stop talking." A researcher passing by interrupted him, whispering a warning: "Don't let the professor hear you say that."

The "doctor" he mentioned was Zhang Jun, the head of the laboratory. He was highly respected at the base and meticulous in his work.

"Okay, okay." The researcher quickly waved his hand and said to the accompanying staff, "That's all the information we have for now. As for the more secretive information, we can't know too much about it either."

That's enough information.

After leaving the lab, Dang Hongyuan asked his companion, "You seem to have always been very concerned about the alien species?"

Sui Cheng replied without changing his expression, "As an ability user who goes around cleaning up alien species, isn't it normal for me to care about them?"

“If this happened to someone else, I would think it’s normal, but it doesn’t seem so normal to you.” Dang Hongyuan’s expression was solemn, and his tone was stern.

Sui Cheng was startled, but before he could explain, he heard Dang Hongyuan continue speaking.

"Sui Cheng, do you still remember why you initially joined the Procuratorate?" Dang Hongyuan's words made Sui Cheng's body tremble, as if he had seen through him completely.

He lowered his head and said in a low but firm voice, "I remember, I will always remember."

With the arrival of the Day of Calamity, without his protection, his sister, who has no special abilities, would have a miserable time in the base; he had seen too many of those times.

The special forces missions were all extremely dangerous, and he dared not imagine what would happen to Sui Ling after he lost his protection. That's why he refused Dang Hongyuan's invitation and resolutely chose the investigation team of the Procuratorate.

At that time, the attendant really didn't care about alien species at all; all he cared about was how to help his sister survive.

"Your solo investigation into the looting has been approved. You can set off at a later time."
