Under the Deep Sea (1)

The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger ultimately failed to fight.

I don’t know if it was because the previous mimicry was broken and damaged its foundation, but even with the power of the star core as support, the Azure Dragon mimicry only lasted for a few minutes before turning into star-like energy fragments and disappearing.

Shi Jianxia was frightened and hurriedly called an investigator with healing mimicry to check on Xia Yuanji's condition.

During the investigator's inspection, she noticed that the light of the fourth star core was slightly dim, and the high-speed starlight on its surface slowly spun and shrank, no longer supplying energy to Xia Yuanji.

Through the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Shi Jianxia could clearly sense that the fourth star core was in a somewhat sluggish state due to excessive consumption of power.

The gold/pattern floating on the surface of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" flew out on its own, forming layers of golden circles around it. The fourth star core was like returning to its mother's arms, and sank into the pages of the book under the comfort of the pattern.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas" closed the page and returned to Shi Jianxia's spiritual power spring with the fourth star core.

The investigator retracted the mimicry. "Don't worry, Major General Xia's condition has stabilized, and his spiritual energy spring has been repaired intact. He may not have awakened yet because the Azure Dragon mimicry isn't his original form, and his spiritual energy spring needs time to adapt."

Shi Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension and worry in her heart were swept away. She raised her hand to wipe the thin sweat from her forehead, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

The big white tiger was a little confused as to why Qinglong suddenly disappeared. Noticing her rapidly changing mood, he leaned over with his big head, stuck out his tongue and gently licked the back of her hand, his intention to comfort and please her was obvious.

Gongye Jiwang moved back, patted the big white tiger's head, and handed another handkerchief to Xia Xian, saying softly, "Don't worry, Major General Xia will surely wake up soon."

Shi Jianxia nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead and palms.

Getting rid of the jade card was like removing a huge rock that was weighing on Shi Jianxia's heart.

She handed Xia Yuanji over to Gongye Jiwang and Bai Xiaojiu to send back to the hospital for a more detailed examination, while she stayed behind to let the nine-tailed fox devour the black vortex to prevent future troubles.

Although the black vortex has shrunk to the size of a palm, the energy it contains cannot be underestimated. The little white fox finally ate the "delicious food" he had been longing for. His nine beautiful little tails wagged happily, and he even stood up and walked happily in front of Xixi for a while.

朏朏 squatted on the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" with his front paws as pads, looking very proud and not caring about the provocative behavior of the little white fox at all.

Shi Jianxia picked up one in each hand and put them back into the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" one by one.

The other cubs went back home obediently after finishing their work, but these two were still jumping around outside.

The satisfied little fox couldn't contain his excitement even though his fate was grabbed by the scruff of the neck. His four short legs were flailing in the air, looking very cute and funny.

Only after Lei Xin and others confirmed that the space here was stable did Shi Jianxia leave this private residential area. Zhuang Mingyue would take care of cleaning up the battlefield and investigating the underground laboratory, so she didn't need to worry too much.

After Gongye Jiwang and his men rescued Yuan Huai, they discovered that he had been injected with drugs. Fearing that he was being experimented on by the doctor, they had sent him to the hospital for examination before coming, but the results were not out yet.

The Dream Technology headquarters has been completely controlled by the Zerg Investigation Department. The subsequent investigation and cleanup work will definitely be very troublesome, and Zhuang Mingyue will be busy again.

Number Four knew a lot, and probably wanted to make amends, so he answered every question asked, revealing everything the Doctor had done during this period.

But as for the doctor's purpose of coming to Nan Teng Star, all we know is that it was to open a secret laboratory.

Dream Technology has quite a few laboratories on Nan Teng Star. Zhuang Mingyue asked No. 4 in detail about this laboratory, wanting to know which one it was.

Number Four couldn't give a definite answer.

The doctor never lets his subordinates know what he wants to do easily, and most of the time he issues orders directly.

Number Four knew that the Doctor's situation was hopeless, but he didn't want to make things difficult for others, so after careful consideration he decided to surrender to Shi Jianxia.

Zhuang Mingyue had no choice but to conduct a more detailed investigation of Yuanjia's intelligence and the documents he had handled. He discovered a lot of shocking research data, including but not limited to semi-parasitic mimicry awakening technology, Zerg gene T grafting technology with other biological genes, and enhanced human experiments...

No matter which information it is, making it public will trigger terrible social public opinion.

Yuan Huai woke up that night. The doctor probably thought he was still useful, so he injected him with a sleeping pill, which would not cause any harm to his body. At most, he would be drowsy for a while.

Shi Jianxia did not hide anything from him and told him what happened in the villa. She did not rush to ask what happened when he sent her a message.

When Yuan Huai learned that his father had died, he sat on the bed with his knees hugged for a long time.

When Jun Xiaoyi and Wen Qiuqiu came to see him, he seemed to have regained his spirit. He stammered to Shi Jianxia, ​​"Two months ago, my dad was having dinner with me when he was called away by a communication. He has a bad stomach and a heavy workload. That night, when I went to bring him food, I accidentally overheard him talking to someone about the Zerg and words like 'undetectable'."

"At that time, the Xia family incident on Canglong Star happened. I was very panicked, worried that my father would also go astray. I hesitated for several days and asked him about it. He told me that it was a collaboration with the Federation, not what I thought. He never lied to me... So I believed him."

"He's been acting weird lately, saying things to me all the time, saying that if he's gone, I need to take good care of myself..."

"I was afraid he was hiding something from me... I came back early from the exchange meeting, intending to give him a surprise, but I saw him going home with someone else."

"I thought that man wearing a mask looked strange, so I hid myself. But I unexpectedly heard him say that he was going to open Lab 01. I also heard your name, Xia Xia. I was scared and got discovered when I was sending you a message. I don't remember what happened after that..."

Yuan Huai spoke for a long time, tears streaming down his face as he spoke, "When I realized something was wrong, I should have asked what had happened. Then my father might not have died..."

Jun Xiaoyi patted his shoulder and said, "This is not your fault. Uncle Yuan doesn't want you to get involved in those troubles."

Wen Qiuqiu knew the pain of losing a loved one and felt a little sad, not knowing how to comfort him.

When Shi Jianxia heard about Laboratory No. 01, she knew that No. 4 was not lying. The doctor did come to Nan Teng Star at this dangerous moment in order to open a secret laboratory. What she couldn't understand was why the doctor mentioned her name to Yuan Jia.

Is he talking about what happened on Tianchen Star? Or is he talking about something else?

Yuan Jia probably knew the truth, but unfortunately the video he left behind should have been recorded earlier, and the information provided did not include the words "Laboratory 01".

She gathered her scattered thoughts and whispered, "Cheer up! Your mother has received semi-parasitic resuscitation treatment and should be able to wake up soon. She needs you."

Yuan Huai didn't know about this yet. He raised his head quickly and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Shi Jianxia nodded affirmatively.

Yuan Huai quickly wiped away his tears and couldn't wait to get up from the hospital bed to see his mother who had been in a coma for many years. However, the effect of the sleeping pills had not completely worn off. His legs went weak and he almost fell back onto the bed. Jun Xiaoyi kept nagging him for a long time.

The Zerg Investigation Department came to find Shi Jianxia about something again, so she had to say goodbye to them.

Xia Yuanji was also arranged to stay in this hospital, and Bai Xiaojiu and Gongye Jiwang were guarding him.

The industries involved in Dream Technology are spread across most of the Federation, so it is difficult to seal them off directly. Ji Yang meant that the internal affairs of the group should be temporarily taken over by the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Zerg Investigation Office would be responsible for supervising the investigation, and the military would assist.

However, the Zerg Investigation Department conducted an intense investigation for half a month but did not find any information about Laboratory 01.

Zhuang Mingyue even suspected whether this laboratory was the one under Yuanjia's private villa.

But she searched the laboratory back and forth more than a dozen times and found nothing inside that was worth the doctor taking the risk of being exposed at any time.

To take a step back, it is possible that the PhD came here not for something, but to conduct experiments using some special experimental equipment in the laboratory.

Based on this speculation, she conducted comparative searches with other secret laboratories and found that there was nothing special about the experimental equipment.

The investigation hit a dead end.

Shi Jianxia is quite concerned about Laboratory No. 01. She always feels that this place is related to the last words the doctor said before his death. However, since she can't find any results from the investigation, she naturally doesn't want to get stuck on it. Instead, she continues to participate in the insect vortex clearing operation in the sea.

Zhuang Mingyue was busy with the affairs of Dream Technology and was too busy to split herself between them, so the insect vortex clearing operation was mainly the responsibility of the military.

A lot of manpower was withdrawn from the Zerg Investigation Department, and the speed of the clearing operation slowed down a lot. After half a month, it finally advanced to the deep sea area.

The day before the deep-sea clearing mission began, Shi Jianxia visited Xia Yuanji in the hospital.

Xia Yuanji's spiritual power source is very vast. The fourth star core has repaired his spiritual power source, but there is no remaining power to restore his spiritual power. He can only rely on himself for this.

Over the past half month, Qinglong has occasionally come out for a stroll, and Xia Yuanji's physical indicators are also normal, but he has not regained consciousness, and the doctors are unsure what is going on.

Gongye Jiwang took Bai Xiaojiu to eat. Maybe he was too busy recently. Shi Jianxia talked about some recent events with Xia Yuanji in the treatment cabin. He couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell asleep on the treatment cabin.

In a daze, she had a dream.

In the dream, a woman whose face could not be seen was holding her, patting her gently and humming a nursery rhyme softly.

Shi Jianxia was indulging in the warm and comfortable embrace when he suddenly heard a loud collision. It seemed that the door of the room was forced open from the outside, and the muffled sound of heels stepping on the ground came from far away.

The nursery rhyme stopped, and the woman hugged her and retreated in panic. She couldn't see her expression clearly, nor did she know who was coming, but she inexplicably sensed her fear.

She was forcibly taken out of the woman's arms, and the back of a rough index finger was pressed against the side of her cheek, stroking it with ambiguous meaning.

Light and shadow fell from behind the person, creating a dazzling glow.

She tried to open her eyes wide, trying to see the other person's appearance clearly, but she saw that the person had turned his head and said to the people around him lightly: "Send him away."

Shi Jianxia suddenly opened his eyes and cold sweat broke out.
