Chapter 96: Same Kind of Hungry——
Time goes back half an hour, when Chu Xiuyan followed Bai Qu to climb the stone tower, a black shadow slowly appeared in the sand outside Base No. 23.
It was an off-road vehicle coming at high speed.
When passing a high sand dune, the car suddenly stopped and rolled down the window of the driver's seat, revealing a delicate and cold face.
It was Chu Li who was urged by Zhang Chun to come from Youdu.
He stared at the monster disguised as a sand dune a few meters away and whispered to himself: "Crawler."
As the sound rang out, the three-meter-high "sand dune" began to shake, and the sand on the surface fell down with a rustling sound. After a few seconds, silence returned again.
——As if saying hello.
Chu Li did not continue to pay attention to the crawler. He glanced around and could not sense the figure of the young man. After thinking for a while, he roughly guessed the other party's idea, so he gave up his original plan and sneaked into Base No. 23 in a more covert way.
When he stood on a high building in the center and observed the tall stone pillar, three patrols even passed by on the side road, but no one noticed his presence.
He has always been good at hiding, changing his aura to blend into the environment as naturally as breathing.
So he was the first to discover Cui Zhiyong, whom he had not seen for a long time, jumping off the stone tower and hiding in a nearby house. He was also the first to notice the green-haired alien who exuded a dangerous aura and coaxed the boy with a very disgusting kiss. Similarly, he also saw the scene where the ruined city supernaturalist, who he had met several times and looked familiar, drove the domain and swaggered behind him.
Very quiet.
Chu Li looked at the boy in disguise for a while, then shifted his attention and used his sensory perception to probe deeper into the ground.
An extremely dangerous confrontation is going on in the underground base between another supernatural being from the ruined city and the knights from the kingdom.
His "sight" went beyond them and went deeper. It was a huge metal door? It was made of special materials, blocking the senses of the aliens? Knowledge and prying, not even the slightest breath could be seen, but his instinct? Still reacted very quickly, constantly warning him to stay away!
…But the boy found a new toy.
Chu Li thought for a moment, and finally chose to follow the young man and the green-haired alien.
'Yun Yan is impatient. Apart from the Yellowstone settlement, he won't stay in one place for too long. Are you concerned? Take him away before the outside world comes. There's still time.'
Compared to Chu Li who chose to wait and see, Cui Zhiyong was more proactive.
After Chu Xiuyan followed Bai Qu into the house, he tried "surveillance" which never worked.
There was little moisture in the desert air, so the possibility of him launching this operation was greatly reduced, but after trying more than a dozen times, he still saw some blurry fragments.
The young man, still wearing the guard uniform, followed Bo Qu into Laboratory No. 3.
Bai Qu began to introduce the equipment in the laboratory.
The boy was lying on the operating table?
Bo Qu picked up the scalpel.
......
Cui Zhiyong banged his head against the wall, his mind full of this stupid student!
The original plan was to observe first and then find a reason to bring the boy out, but now it seems it's too late!
This Bai Qu is a madman with a beastly heart in human form! How could he actually attack his own students!
He clenched his fists, took a few deep breaths, and managed to come up with a few excuses. Just as he was about to rush out, the "perspective" that had not yet been closed presented him with other fragments of the picture.
…
Under the glaring light, Bo Qu was cutting a piece of yellow-brown stone with a scalpel. His eyes behind the lens were focused, as if he was cutting some rare material - but it was just a piece of stone that could be found everywhere.
Behind him, the young man who was still lying on the operating table slowly sat up, with an extremely unfamiliar expression on his face, "Teacher, the material of this operating table is different from ours."
Bo Qu pushed his glasses and said, "After all, it was purchased temporarily, so I can only use it as it is."
…
Cui Zhiyong: “…Ah?”
It seems, it feels a bit strange, but when you think about it carefully, it seems normal?
He fell into a long period of contemplation.
He was torn between rushing out to grab the person and waiting to see what happened.
And third-party snoopers? They are much more casual.
He drove the field and inlaid rubies on the newly made two-meter-long coffin in the dilapidated house, one by one, saying one after another: "Zhang Chun owes me a favor, one more time, and one more time..."
The deputy captain stood aside, thinking that his captain had finally gone crazy, and couldn't help but speak: "Bai Qu's identity is mysterious, his strength is unknown, and he is suspected to be a high-level alien. The boy and may be in danger."
Zai Zhe said casually: "Now we can put aside the suspicion. That green-headed man is definitely an alien, so I can't just barge in... Didn't you notice? That kid took the initiative to step into the dangerous person's territory. If I ruined his plan, I would be the one who would be in trouble."
Deputy Captain: “What about now?”
Zai Zhe: "Wait, Bai Qu has a lot of explosives in his hand. Yun Yan is probably very interested, so wait for the house to explode, and then take advantage of the chaos to break in and take the people away."
The three parties hid themselves. Although they had different ideas, they all chose to wait in the end.
Wait for the unexpected to happen, wait for the abnormality to appear.
And the other side.
Chu Xiuyan, who had successfully played a trick on Cui Zhiyong, climbed up from the operating table contentedly, his legs hanging down naturally, his toes just touching the ground, and he swayed carelessly, his eyes fell on Bai Qu's body not far away, with his back to him.
Laboratory No. 3 was filled with glass jars of various sizes, filled with unfamiliar materials, and a few were filled with liquids, all of which were detected by the system to be toxic substances.
Bai Qu was busy doing something on the experimental table, with his back to Chu Xiuyan, looking as if he completely trusted him.
The system scolded again: [You have deep thoughts and bad intentions! You are deliberately testing you! Host, don't be fooled! ]
Chu Xiuyan scratched his head and changed the subject: "This lab looks so big, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of place should be quite private. Is it okay for me to enter at will?"
Bai Qu was cutting open the abdomen of a strange-looking mouse, and it seemed that he was going to stuff the brown stone he had cut earlier into it. Hearing this, he still had that smiling look on his face, and without even raising his head, he casually asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's the concept of territory."
Chu Xiuyan extended an index finger. There were bottles and jars all around him. The strong smell of alcohol and the bloody smell of the rats blended together. The hidden dangers stimulated his nerves from time to time. He couldn't help but talk more. His legs swung in the air, and he looked very happy.
His eyes were fixed on Bai Qu again, watching his every move. With a smile on his face, he spoke as if he was chatting:
"I've been in similar labs before. There were bottles and jars everywhere, strange-smelling liquids, and all kinds of weird things soaked in formalin. The owner of the lab was very, very, very strict, cold, obsessive-compulsive, mysophobic, arrogant and dictatorial. I could use any bad words I could imagine to describe him when he entered the lab. Although he later changed his research direction, that trait remained unchanged. The lab was to him like water to fish and the sky to birds. It was a place where his talents and gifts could be freely exerted, and a territory that he could control at will, just like a god, a king, a unique sacred place."
As Bo Qu listened, he used the scalpel at his fingertips to pierce the mouse's head? skull, nailing it deeply to the laboratory table?, and then slowly took off his bloody gloves, turned? towards? the boy, with a gentle arc on his lips, as if he had heard an interesting story. While throwing the gloves into the trash can, he asked? "And then? It sounds like you did something."
Chu Xiuyan spread his hands, "Nothing. At that time, I was at an age where everyone hated me. Plus, the lab owner had a bad temper, so I hated him for a while. So one day, I secretly ate hot pot and barbecue for two whole days at his holy place while he was away. He rushed back from more than ten kilometers away overnight and beat me up."
Bai Qu laughed out loud and said, "So you want to eat hot pot and barbecue in my holy land too? It's a pity that there are very few spices in Base 23. If you continue to squander them, I'm afraid the Red Cult and the Knights will come to visit."
"No, you seem to have misunderstood my meaning."
Chu Xiuyan seemed to be in a dilemma. He jumped off the operating table and walked towards Baiqu with cheerful steps. He explained: "The owner of the laboratory and I have a good relationship in essence, and he can easily suppress me. In the concept of territory, sovereignty still belongs to him, so he will allow me to enter the laboratory. But what about you?"
This question seemed to break something, and the atmosphere lingering around suddenly became oppressive.
At this time? He was only half a step away from Bai Qu.
The green-haired stranger still had that gentle look, but his eyes behind the lenses slightly opened, and Chu Xiuyan realized that this person had a pair of very rare golden eyes.
"Because you need to continue to conceal your identity. As a student, having a strange relationship with the teacher will arouse suspicion." The smile on Bai Qu's face seemed to be pasted on, repeating the previous excuse, but this time, the warmth in his words gradually disappeared.
His disguise was torn off by Chu Xiuyan, but how could the boy, who was usually so willful, stop there, especially since he had just gotten started?
So in front of Bai Qu, this wild young alien who he picked up in a flash suddenly tore off his seemingly well-behaved disguise, and like a wild beast with bared fangs, he rushed towards his prey and bit it violently without restraint until the target was covered in blood and torn into pieces.
ha.
Bai Qu pushed up his glasses.
He was wrong.
A similar one.
Chu Xiuyan continued excitedly:
"This reason is not sufficient. Let me guess. Either the researcher's identity is just a disguise, and you don't really care about the lab, so you let me in. Or, in your mind, you are always the controller of the territory, and you still believe that you can manipulate me at will. But we have only known each other for less than two hours, and we are both high-level mutants. I haven't even shown my strength, so why do you think I am weak in such a condescending way? There is only one possibility, and that is instinctive reaction."
"——You are a mad scientist who would attack your own kind. You already regard aliens as moving prey, so you habitually think that you are the hunter. Right? Right? My dear teacher?"
Chu Xiuyan's eyebrows curved, as if it wasn't him who tore through the illusion and made the atmosphere tense and dangerous in an instant?
The air was dead silent, so quiet that only the breathing of both parties could be heard.
The smile on Bai Qu's face disappeared, and a dangerous aura instantly spread out like an explosion. His cold golden eyes stabbed at the young man in front of him like a knife, as if he was trying to determine where to start.
The system almost cursed, [Why did you provoke him for no reason?! ]
Chu Xiuyan said confidently: [This alien has some characteristics that are very similar to my uncle, and I am rebellious! ]
He and his uncle have been fighting wits and courage for many years, and they are already very familiar with each other. As soon as he starts to say something that pokes at someone's heart, he will be stabbed back by the other party. He always loses. Damn it!
System: [...Be prepared to run away. This alien is very strange. I think his defense is about to explode.]
Chu Xiuyan made an OK gesture in his mind.
But unexpectedly, Bai Qu quickly calmed down and returned to his original calmness, as if his previous momentum was just a gesture of attitude.
He took off his glasses, wiped them with a tissue, and coldly brought up a seemingly unrelated topic, with almost no emotion in his tone.
"You are very clever, my dear student."
"There are many evolutionary routes on this continent. Only a few people know about the existence of gods, and there are three attitudes among these few people. The ruined cities are represented by generations of base leaders who "kill gods", the desert regions are represented by kingdoms who "become gods", and the northwest is represented by X Institute who "research". I am from the third-party X Institute, a third-generation student of the doctor. Now I formally invite you to join our plan - to study gods, analyze blood crystals, and use this as a seesaw to push the entire world towards the most suitable future. This sounds interesting, doesn't it?"
Chu Xiuyan was stunned, his head tingling for a moment. Although Bo Qu was indifferent at this moment, his aura was very similar to the twisted and sick feeling that his uncle had forcibly pulled out of the laboratory after being out of touch for many months. Since his uncle's research direction changed to intelligent AI, he had not seen this strange feeling for a long time.
PTSD is about to strike——
But the next second, the aura on Bai Qu's body disappeared completely, and a gentle expression reappeared on his face. He looked at Chu Xiuyan seriously and said:
"I haven't accepted any students yet. I've thought about it before, but after meeting them, I still think they are more valuable lying on the lab table than standing next to me and making trouble. But you are different. You are sharp, insightful, and can think independently. You don't mind the experiment, and you know how to act appropriately. When you were young, you knew the bottom line of the lab owner. You only ate barbecue hot pot in the lab instead of destroying more important things like test tubes and equipment. You were sober and rational. What's more, you have grown up. My dear student, you are such a good child."
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
System lights a cigarette: [I won't tell you, someone here has breached the defense. ]
Chu Xiuyan: [Help—Why does this feeling of déjà vu happen? It’s so scary!]
He stared at Bai Qu over and over again without saying a word, while Bai Qu waited patiently for a response.
After about five minutes, Chu Xiuyan was right? The system said: [This is a dangerous person, and he has a big background and is well-informed. ]
System: [Yes.]
Chu Xiuyan: [The most important thing is that he has similar traits to my uncle. I plan to learn from him and then use the experience to deal with my uncle.]
System: […Your rationality shocks me.]
Meanwhile, the peepers around the house were still quietly waiting for something unusual to happen, and were ready to snatch the boy away in the chaos.
But one hour? It passed. Two hours? It passed. Three hours? It passed...
Until late at night, nothing happened, and the silence was so tingling.
At this moment, the peepers in the three rooms all stood up.
Prepare to sneak into the house at night and take the person away!
Zai Zhe/Chu Li: Yun Yan is too quiet, isn't that right?
Cui Zhiyong: I’m both sleepy and hungry, let’s just snatch the person away and hide him first.
