"As you can see, this mission is not as simple as you imagined, and it may even involve life-threatening dangers."

Chu Xingyue paused and looked at everyone's expressions.

"Since I chose to stay, I had this in mind, and I'm not afraid."

A trembling voice rang out from the crowd.

Chu Xingyue looked in the direction from which the sound came from.

"I'm not afraid."

"And me too."

No one in the crowd wanted to be left behind, and they eagerly made their calls, afraid that if they were late, someone else would beat them to it.

“Very good, this is what I want to see. Since everyone has expressed their stance, I will also express mine. I will do my best to ensure that everyone completes this mission unharmed.”

"We trust Teacher Chu."

Now that the atmosphere has been built up, we can begin to discuss the details of this mission.

“When I arrived just now, I think everyone saw what the situation is like now. Our task this time is to find out when these people started to change, and what about their regular actions in one direction. If that’s the case, then their brains must have changed.”

"I have already arranged for someone to be in charge of everyone's safety, and a medical expert will also be joining us this time."

Zhu Bo, whose research institute had been restored to its former glory, never expected to see Chu Xingyue so soon.

From the moment he received the notification, he was in a state of constant tension.

He has already signed a confidentiality agreement. He is a genius, but compared to those research giants who are already famous, his personal reputation is insignificant.

Now they're telling him he was personally selected by his superiors to participate in this mission; no one would believe he wasn't excited.

"Zhu Bo, come in."

The voice I'd heard countless times came from inside. I pushed open the door and stepped inside.

He saw some people he recognized and some he didn't, but the one who attracted his attention the most was Chu Xingyue, who was sitting in the main seat.

Zhu Bo walked stiffly to Chu Xingyue's side, facing everyone, moving mechanically.

"Hello everyone! I am Zhu Bo. It is an honor to learn from you seniors."

"Zhu Bo, go find a seat."

I sat stiffly in the empty seat.

Looking at Chu Xingyue issuing orders from above, I knew she was capable after spending many days with her, but it was nothing compared to the shock of seeing her in person now.

He told himself to concentrate. He knew that the person who was personally selected by the higher-ups must be Chu Xingyue. He couldn't let Teacher Chu down. Even if he was shocked, he had to calm down.

"Several such cases will be sent here tonight and tomorrow."

"Therefore, we don't have much time left for everyone to mentally prepare. Everyone must be on their toes. This is a huge test for us."

"yes"

"Now I will assign tasks to everyone to ensure that the entire task is error-free."

......

With each command given, everyone received their assigned task.

"Zhu Bo"

"arrive"

"You'll be following me for the next couple of days."

As soon as Chu Xingyue finished speaking, Zhu Bo was surrounded by gazes. Even the mentally strong Zhu Bo felt a little uneasy. What was wrong with these people? Why were they looking at him like that?

Zhu Bo was unaware that everyone present, except himself, was looking at him with envy. What did following Teacher Chu mean? It meant being able to learn things that one could never learn before.

But what's wrong with this kid's eyes? He looks so dull and stupid. If he can't handle this, then they can.

Zhu Bo had no idea what everyone else was thinking, but he was still very happy to be with Teacher Chu. Seeing it with his own eyes was a completely different level from hearing it with his ears.

The meeting has ended.

Even after Chu Xingyue arrived at the research institute, the two inside were still tirelessly waving their fists, so she was given a special anesthetic injection.

Two people covered in blood were tied to the experimental table. Everything on the table was made of a special material that Chu Xingyue had instructed her to use the day before, and the more they struggled, the tighter it became.

There was absolutely no way to break free. This was all thanks to the preparations Chu Xingyue made after returning from the trip abroad, based on her encounter with the big guy. She never expected that these preparations would come in so quickly.

A series of inspections began, and everyone performed their duties diligently and efficiently.

Zhu Bo stood beside Chu Xingyue, his mouth slightly agape as he watched the scene. He had spent some time in the most advanced research institutes abroad, but he had never witnessed anything like this. However, it was also possible that he had entered a research institute that was openly recognized.

Everyone demonstrated exceptional execution skills, their hands moving continuously, and some even discussing the unusual features on their hands with those around them.

"Didn't you see this scene?"

Chu Xingyue glanced sideways and saw Zhu Bo's expression.

"No, I've lived abroad for a while and worked on large projects, but..."

Zhu Bo stopped.

"Therefore, never believe any external evaluations of us. Only by participating in it ourselves can we know how strong and powerful our country is."

"If several of my senior classmates who are abroad saw this scene, they would definitely regret it immensely."

“A person with an unstable stance will still be poached by various companies for various reasons, even if they return to their home country. There are too many uncertain factors.”

Why did you choose to return to China?

"No matter how good it is outside, it can't be as safe as our own home."

“I didn’t tell my grandfather that I was lucky to be alive when I came back from abroad, and that the research institute where I worked was once occupied by terrorists. Don’t laugh if I tell you, but I escaped by crawling through the sewers.”

"It would be a lie for people like us, living in this new era, not to envy life abroad. But once you've lived abroad yourself, you'll know how much discrimination we face. However, I've always believed that our country is very powerful."

Just like a shrewd head of household who wants to lead the whole family to wealth, the first thing to do is to keep a low profile and not flaunt their wealth. If they reveal their assets, others will covet them, but if anyone tries to take action, they won't be afraid.

Chu Xingyue praised:

“It’s great that you have this awareness. Believe in yourself. Your country is far more powerful than you think.”

"So I am very fortunate to be Chinese."

Zhu Bo smiled at Chu Xingyue, his eyes filled with a sense of security and pride.

"By the way, how are Sun Guoqing, Yu Xiao, and Fang Qi recovering?"

Chu Xingyue arrived before she had time to pay attention to the three of them.

“The three of them are doing well. Sun Guoqing’s younger brother, Sun Guoqiang, has already gone back home, and Sun Guoqing is able to get out of bed and walk on his own.”

"Yes, I'll go visit them in a couple of days."

"They'd be so happy to know you were here."

"Teacher Chu, come here for a moment."

"They're here."

I walked over quickly.

"Look, the EEG waves are very regular."

Chu Xingyue looked at the wavelength on the screen.

"Teacher Chu, look."

Chu Xingyue looked at the form in her hand and examined it closely under the light.

"This is the central nervous system, why does it feel a bit thick here?"

Zhu Bo's words were noticed by the others who had also observed this phenomenon.

Have you had brain surgery?

Chu Xingyue looked at the list and suddenly spoke.

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

"I've done it, but..."

"explain."

"The biggest risk after central nervous system surgery is infection. If the patient remains in a coma, they may never wake up. Therefore, I cannot guarantee 100%."

Zhu Bo, who has never lacked confidence before, is now insecure.

"Someone always has to be a pioneer."

Chu Xingyue pursed her lips.

“I will perform the surgery, and Zhu Bo will assist me.”

Chu Xingyue is still not sure if that giant piece of land is dangerous, and she can't let everyone take the risk.

"Everyone, get ready for surgery. The surgery will begin in half an hour."

"yes."

Pre-operative preparation is the most basic preparation work for every researcher engaged in this study.

"Zhu Bo, I don't know if there will be any dangers after the craniotomy. If there are any dangers during the operation, please remember to take care of yourself."

What will you do?

"All you need to do is protect yourself."

Zhu Bo wanted to say something, but a stern look from Chu Xingyue stopped him in his throat.

Chu Xingyue walked to the door, picked up the phone on the wall, and told Fu Jingcheng and Zhang Cheng, who had been waiting outside, to stay by her side during the surgery.

Fu Jingcheng and Zhang Cheng went into the disinfection room to disinfect their entire bodies.

Zhu Bo, who was following Chu Xingyue, saw two soldiers enter from the disinfection room. Judging from their uniforms and imposing manner, they were definitely the kind of people who had seen blood. Zhu Bo wisely kept quiet.

"Boss."

The two stopped in front of Chu Xingyue.

"Okay, you guys stay with me from now on. If there's any emergency, we'll deal with it on the spot."

"yes"

Does "solve it on the spot" mean what you think it means, boss?

Are these two Teacher Chu's subordinates?

What incredible secret has he discovered?

Zhu Bo clenched and unclenched his hands at his sides, breathing softly as he tried to calm himself.

This small action was noticed by Fu Jingcheng and Zhang Cheng, who had undergone physical modifications. The two turned around and showed Zhu Bo their big white teeth, looking like man-eating monsters, which made Zhu Bo gasp.

"Behave yourself."

Chu Xingyue said to the two of them in an annoyed tone.

I really don't know when they started having this weird sense of humor.

The two immediately stood up straight and stood at attention.

Zhu Bo didn't dare to say a word now and could only follow closely behind Chu Xingyue.

All preparations have been completed.

Chu Xingyue looked up at the time on the wall, then walked towards the operating table that had been prepared in advance.

"Smack."

The surgery begins.

Everyone watched Chu Xingyue's movements with bated breath. The scalpel moved swiftly and precisely. Even Zhu Bo, who had been standing by, felt a jolt of fear. This was no time to be dazed.

Chu Xingyue was completely focused as she kept moving her hands.

Found

Everyone who witnessed this scene on the big screen held their breath in suspense.

Just as Chu Xingyue's scalpel was about to touch the target, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, startling Zhu Bo, who was standing next to her, so much so that he dropped the wiping cloth in his hand.

"Concentrate." Even during the surgery, Chu Xingyue could still steel herself to remind Zhu Bo.

"She's awake! Quick, she's awake!" A series of low exclamations began to ripple through the crowd.

He had barely spoken when someone next to him covered his mouth.

The eyes that had been open suddenly closed slowly again.

Self-protection mechanism?

Logically speaking, Chu Xingyue shouldn't be able to see her eyes open, but the nerves in her brain reacted to everything, which confirmed Chu Xingyue's guess.

After rupturing the nerve, Chu Xingyue carefully peeled away the contents with the scalpel in her hand.

Chu Xingyue frowned as she looked at the still-jumping little creature.

insect?

Zhu Bo paused for a moment, then turned around and handed over the things Chu Xingyue had asked him to prepare.

It is placed into a special container, a small transparent bottle, and then sealed.

The next step is the repair of the central nervous system.

Chu Xingyue's hands kept moving.

"Zhu Bo, get ready to take over."

"Oh, okay."

Zhu Bo is familiar with the work ahead, so there won't be any problems.

He skillfully began to work.

Chu Xingyue stepped off the operating table, picked up the small transparent bottle, and examined it carefully in her hand.

This is something Chu Xingyue is different from ordinary people. If others wanted to see it, they really couldn't see it without a super large magnifying glass; they could only see a small black dot.

Is this little thing the culprit?

Chu Xingyue placed the little insect in an incubator, but this incubator was different from a normal one.

Several heads crowded around the small box, trying to figure out what was inside.

After looking at it from all angles, it was all outside their comprehension.

Chu Xingyue frowned deeply.

Isn't this a bit too mythical? How come even Gu worms have appeared?

In her understanding, Gu worms are either in the heart or in the blood; this is the first time she has seen one in the central nervous system.

If it weren't for her internal energy suppressing it, this little thing would definitely have self-destructed.

It looks like this is a juvenile Gu. Everyone else should be thinking about the juvenile Gu, but where is the mother Gu?

This is what Chu Xingyue is worried about now; she doesn't know how many other people are in the same situation.

It seems she can't remove the Gu from everyone's brains, otherwise she won't even have a clue where to find the mother Gu.

"Properly monitor the patient after surgery."

After giving her instructions, Chu Xingyue turned and left. Now she needed to think carefully about how to deal with the people who came over that night.

Chu Xingyue walked slowly down the factory corridor, with Zhang Cheng and Fu Jingcheng following behind her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Today's events were quite a shock to them. Is there anything their boss can't do? Even the top researchers in the room couldn't perform the surgery, yet their boss calmly completed it.

Both of them felt like they were about to explode from holding this secret in.

"Look, it's Teacher Chu."

A surprised voice interrupted Chu Xingyue, who was lost in thought, and also attracted the attention of Zhang Cheng and Fu Jingcheng behind her.

Yu Xiao walked over quickly, followed by Fang Qi who walked over slowly.

Sun Guoqing stood still and did not step forward, but judging from his expression, he also seemed to want to follow Yu Xiaofang's lead and go forward.

Chu Xingyue was happy to see that the group was recovering well.

"How is the recovery going?"

"We are all recovering very well."

"It's better than I ever imagined," the other two nodded repeatedly.

Yu Xiao bent down, picked up a pebble from the ground, held it in her hand, leaned close to Chu Xingyue, and said mysteriously:

"Teacher Chu, look!"

Yu Xiao squeezed hard with her hand that had just undergone surgery, and the pebble on her hand shattered completely.

Zhang Cheng and Fu Jingcheng's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing this scene.
