Situ Pojun has a calm and composed demeanor, but if he doesn't restrain himself, he will appear to be a forceful one. So, the fact that he just stands there without saying a word shows that this person is not simple. But Shang Lin is completely different, so it's no wonder that people who don't know him would have doubts.

However, since his soul transmigrated to the human world, Shang Lin had long been used to such doubts, so he remained calm and unmoved, and even sent a telepathic message to Situ Pojun, "Is this a gathering place for mutated creatures?"

Situ Pojun couldn't help but glance at Shang Lin, clearly asking if he knew how to transmit sound. But then he realized there was nothing to be surprised about. With those oddballs around him, it wouldn't be strange if they knew something, right?

No, it would be strange if he didn't know anything, so the next second he replied using telepathy, "I don't know, this is my first time here too, and I've never cooperated with the military before. The police recommended me."

So that's how it is. Shang Lin certainly knows how to use telepathy, but he never uses it. He's so "precious" these days that he doesn't want to waste even a little bit of his energy.

Captain Huo also looked at Shang Lin along with Situ Pojun. Even though there was doubt in his eyes, he said, "Mo Ce, don't make a fuss. You can't judge a book by its cover."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, thinking that Captain Huo was a good person. It was good that he questioned Huo's unpredictability. He also had a faint golden light of merit on his body, so he must have made meritorious contributions.

If Meng Zhe could join the army and do more good deeds to relieve suffering and save people, he would surely live to be a hundred years old, and Meng Fanyu wouldn't need to resort to unorthodox methods to prolong his life. I'll suggest it to him later.

Shang Lin continued to follow Captain Huo, and Mo Chen followed as well. Although he didn't say anything more, the doubt in his eyes didn't diminish at all, and he especially wanted to see what made the expert so great.

Captain Huo stopped in front of a door, turned around and looked at Situ Pojun and Shang Lin, saying, "What you're about to see may exceed your expectations. I hope you're mentally prepared."

Shang Lin and Situ Pojun exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison. They had seen far more than they could have imagined. However, seeing them nod, Captain Huo finally opened the door.

Inside the door was a huge glass room containing a bunch of pink "flesh." If this thing were shrunk to a normal size, anyone with common sense would know it was an earthworm.

But such a big earthworm, isn't it a bit exaggerated, no, it's too exaggerated, it's simply outrageous, okay? Shang Lin silently complained in his heart before subconsciously glancing at Situ Pojun, only to find that his expression wasn't much better.

Seeing that the two people beside him were very calm, or at least appeared to be very calm, Captain Huo began to believe that they were experts. He said, "These are samples we brought back from the Northwest. According to the test data, they are mutated earthworms. These are injured, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to bring them back."

Mo Ce, who came in with them, saw that Shang Lin had the same idea as Captain Huo. At least when he first saw this thing, he was not so calm, while this kid didn't even blink.

Situ Pojun hurriedly asked, "Don't tell me the earthquake in the Northwest is related to this thing?"

Shang Lin immediately added, "I think so, and there are quite a few of them."

This further reinforced Shang Lin's idea that he was a master. Captain Huo continued, "Shang is right, but this is really difficult to solve because they are very intelligent. To put it in a more mystical way, they have gained sentience."

You can't blame Huo Yan for describing it that way, because he genuinely couldn't find a more fitting word to describe these mutated earthworms; otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to seek outside help.

Shang Lin slowly walked to the left, wanting to see how big the thing was and where its head was, so he could determine whether it had developed sentience. Otherwise, with his current abilities, he couldn't tell anything from just a pile of "flesh".

However, when Shang Lin moved, the paralyzed "flesh" also moved. Because of its large size, it was hard to tell which way it was moving. It took a while before we could see it retreating to the innermost part of the glass room.

Shang Lin glanced at Situ Pojun again, clearly asking, "Can you tell if this thing has developed sentience? And what's the deal with it running to the very back?"

Situ Pojun did not respond to Shang Lin, but instead said to Huo Yan, "Can we see its whole picture from up above?"

Captain Huo pointed to the monitor next to him, "You can only see it from the camera."

Situ Pojun looked at the roof of the glass room, which was only a little over three meters high. He pointed to it and asked Huo Yan, "Isn't it okay up there?"

Captain Huo frowned slightly. "It's feasible, but going up and down is inconvenient. Earthworms are good at turning over soil, but this glass room is very slippery. We must not give it a chance to escape."

Situ Pojun nodded, then said to Shang Lin, "Shall I take you upstairs to take a look?"

"Okay." In fact, Shang Lin also wanted to go up and see the whole picture, but he really couldn't do it without external help.

Situ Pojun reached out and grabbed Shang Lin's right shoulder. In a single leap, he landed on the glass roof, leaving Huo Yan and Mo Ce stunned. How did he get up there? And with someone in tow? Did gravity have no effect on him?

As soon as Shang Lin stopped, he looked down and examined it carefully, but said dejectedly, "Where did this thing hide its head? It just looks like a pile of flesh."

Suddenly, he heard the voice of the God Lord, "Shang Lin, where are you? What did you see? Green Yao actually wants to leave the tower."

Shang Lin was taken aback. What was Lü Yao going to do? He subconsciously glanced at the earthworms at his feet. Did they want fertilizer again? But earthworms are meant to turn over the soil…

Wait a minute, Green Yao wouldn't want such a big earthworm to turn over the ground, would he? What about the Dragon Spirit Tower?

Shang Lin closed his eyes and replied in a rare commanding tone, "Let it be quiet for now, we'll talk about it when I get home."

"Then I can only temporarily shut down the tower. You know how outrageous Green One can be when he goes crazy."

"Um."

Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin and said, "Let's go down. These earthworms do have some intelligence, though not much. If they really caused the earthquake, there should be a leader with higher intelligence."

"possible."

Shang Lin was brought down by Situ Pojun, and now he had no choice but to participate, since Lü Yao wanted this thing. Unfortunately, that little thing wasn't very intelligent, and would unleash a rain of flying knives at the slightest provocation—who could stand that?

As soon as Situ Pojun landed, he said to Captain Huo, who had just come to his senses, "How would you like us to cooperate?"

"Find a way to get them out of the soil."

Situ Pojun hesitated, "This isn't easy, is it? It's harder than asking me to go down and kill one." After saying that, he looked at Shang Lin again.

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "I don't have any good ideas either, but we can go back and discuss it to see if we can come up with a better solution."

After saying that, he pointed to the earthworm huddled in a corner and asked Huo Yan, "What should we do with this?"
