Chapter 104



Chapter 104

For a moment Zhou Zhao thought he had heard wrongly.

Seeing Wen Xin's calm expression, he was stunned.

Before coming here, Zhou Zhao had anticipated that Wen Xin might have some resentment in his heart, and he even thought about what kind of compensation he should give and what words he should use to fool people. However, he never expected that the person concerned would actually refuse it directly!

Zhou Zhao even stuttered: "I know you hate me, but I didn't mean to hurt you at first. I was just, I was bewitched!"

"As long as you can help me, I will immediately find a way to restore your reputation and transfer you away from this shabby place. I can also help you get money and a promotion to assistant researcher!"

Wen Xin said calmly: "You came here alone, so did you avoid being seen by others?"

Of course not.

Zhou Zhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. His mind was so confused that he didn't know what to do. He was complaining to Wen Xin and even forgot to close the door, which attracted passers-by who heard the noise to look into the house frequently.

He looked at Wen Xinbo's calm eyes, and suddenly understood the meaning in his eyes. He murmured to himself as if deceiving himself, "I am working at the base, and my whereabouts are kept secret. It is impossible for anyone to know that I came to see you."

Wen Xin looked outside the house with the door open.

Following the other person's line of sight, Zhou Zhao also saw the crowd standing outside watching the excitement: "..."

Obviously, our human identity will not be altered by Zhou Zhao's self-deception.

Zhou Zhao panicked instantly. He slammed the door shut, blocking the view of outsiders. He stared at Wen Xin with bloodshot eyes and even started to speak without thinking: "You have to help me! Otherwise, don't even think about returning to the base, let alone owning No. 1 again!"

After threatening, he suddenly softened his tone neurotically and pleaded: "You are its incubator, don't you want to see it again? Don't you want to give it your own name?"

Wen Xin ignored all the nonsense he had said before. He turned around after hearing the last sentence and said word by word: "They have never been objects, nor are they the works you think they are, let alone whose names are given to them."

When Zhou Zhao met his gaze, he was actually shocked and shrank back.

Wen Xin walked past him and opened the door: "Do you know why I didn't punch you when I saw you?"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Zhao seemed to remember something.

What impressed Wen Xin the most at first was not that the other party took over the mess in the A3 nursery, but that he used only one punch to create a crack in Ding Pingle's jaw!

At that time, he was still cursing in his heart. Ding Pingle looked very similar to a researcher he had met before. Maybe he was the other's nephew. As a result, Wen Xin rashly beat him up. What if he was blamed?

But who would have thought that after Ding Pingle was beaten, the researcher did not get angry at all, as if he was completely unaware of the matter.

Zhou Zhaoan felt relieved, muttering that he might have made a mistake, and immediately put the matter out of his mind.

At this moment, he recalled the past, and the calmness in Wen Xin's words made him feel uncontrollably flustered.

Wen Xin spoke in a low voice, like a judge mercilessly knocking down the gavel to settle the matter: "Because there is no need for me to do anything."

As Wen Xin spoke, the gate opened, revealing armed troops marching out of the narrow street with a deafening sound.

Zhou Zhao saw the badge on the armed man's chest and turned to run. The leader noticed his intention and shouted in a cold voice: "Catch him!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Zhou Zhao was held captive, his body was in a wolf-like state, and he struggled desperately, "I am the chief assistant in the base, what grounds do you have to arrest me!"

The team leader sneered, "Chief Assistant? Are you talking about you, the thief who stole the results of the intern's project and tried to deceive your superiors?"

Zhou Zhao's eyes widened, and his throat broke due to fear: "What, how did you know? Those who knew about this matter at the time were dealt with, you couldn't possibly know!"

"Assistant Zhou, I have to remind you that you look like a stupid little idiot right now." The team leader leaned close to Zhou Zhao's ear and sneered, "Do you think you can rest easy by killing or transferring the person who knows the truth? Don't forget that you are just an assistant researcher. It's ridiculous to try to hide it from the higher-ups."

In an instant, Zhou Zhao's face turned pale.

He wanted to say something but was covered with his mouth by two armed men and dragged away. He tried to struggle but one of them stepped hard on his leg bone, causing him to let out a miserable cry.

The team leader turned around and looked at Wen Xin. His attitude was many times better than when he was facing Zhou Zhao. It could almost be said that he was humble.

He talked about the incident in which Zhou Zhao had claimed the credit for being the incubator for Wen Xin, and blamed all the sins on Zhou Zhao.

Why didn't anyone find out? Because Zhou Zhao colluded with his superiors to hide the truth. Why didn't anyone question it? Because Zhou Zhao killed all those who knew about it.

In short, all the mistakes were Zhou Zhao's fault and had nothing to do with the base. The base was also a victim of deception.

After complaining for a long time, the team leader realized that the surroundings were too quiet. Wen Xin was just listening to him the whole time and didn't agree with what he said at all.

The team leader couldn't help feeling worried. Could it be that the other side had discovered something?

"It's okay." Wen Xin's expression was still normal. "Let's go."

The team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Xin got into the jeep under the escort of armed personnel, or rather, under guard.

"Have you investigated the previous accidental fire?" Wen Xin suddenly asked.

The team leader was not the main person in charge of investigating the fire, but he also heard about the difficulty of the investigation process: "Not yet. Each room has an isolation layer. The equipment was functioning normally when the fire broke out. I really don't know how the fire started."

Wen Xin had seen that past in a fantasy. The invasion of unknown data sources in the fantasy was different from the fire he encountered.

Driven by intuition, Wen Xin thought of Ding Pingle who had done something bad to Huidan.

The eggs in the A3 nursery were not valued, and except Zhou Zhao, no intern was willing to look after them.

After Xiao Hei was hatched, given how much importance the base attached to it, it was impossible for any intern to get close to it.

From this, it can be inferred that Ding Pingle was not a member of the base in Xiao Hei's past, so the only identity left is that of a survivor.

Wen Xin made up his mind that the fire was most likely caused by Ding Pingle.

We must be wary of this person.

Although Wen Xin was transferred to an unknown remote town, according to regional divisions, he was still under the jurisdiction of the research base.

Soon, he saw the shadow of the research base through the flying sand.

Get off the bus, go through security check, and be searched.

After completing a set of inspection procedures, Wen Xin also took in the surrounding terrain. As soon as he left the alien space created by Xiao Hei, he would be able to compare where this research base was located.

Before this, Wen Xin actually already had some guesses in his mind, but he kept the doubts in his heart and did not suppress them.

As we walked into the research base, the scenery in front of us gradually became familiar. Several people in white coats were standing at the intersection, looking forward to it. When they saw Wen Xin, they immediately came up to us with smiles on their faces. If you didn't know better, you would think they were very enthusiastic.

"Finally you're here. Sigh, you've suffered so much during this time. We never thought Zhou Zhao would be so vicious!"

"Yes, he is still a student under Teacher Zhao."

"You don't know who he is!"

But Wen Xin just listened to their conversation without saying a word, his heart as clear as a mirror.

Such a big incident in the nursery, with countless mutant eggs dying, meant that all the money invested was wasted. Someone must have informed their superiors of the situation.

But in this case, Zhou Zhao was still able to claim his credit. Why? Was it just because he had connections with his superiors?

There must be some inaction on the part of the base, who thinks it doesn't matter who the incubator is, as long as Xiao Hei is there.

Now that Xiao Hei is in trouble, he is thinking of calling his incubator back to help out...

Wen Xin had never had a good impression of this research base, and now he hated it even more.

So what if the technology is cutting edge? This place is rotten to the core.

After talking for a long time without anyone responding, the white coats felt awkward and simply changed the point: "You must be missing the egg you hatched yourself after being separated for so long. Come with us."

As they spoke, they hurriedly led the way.

Wen Xin followed them into the experimental building, which was the stadium-like building filled with a strong smell of blood.

When he thought about Xiao Hei being brought into such a place, an indescribable bitterness immediately spread from Wen Xin's heart.

He didn't bother to think more and walked forward quickly.

Suddenly, a huge roar came from the deepest part of the floor. The whole laboratory building was shaking, and alarms were blaring everywhere.

Amidst the glaring red warning lights, the floor in front of Wen Xin and the others suddenly shattered, and a huge monster revealed its ferocious head.

Black scales, fangs, and a spine as hard as steel. With a fierce noise, the monster's claws tore through the alloy floor, and its tall and strong body suddenly broke through the ceiling, exposing it to everyone's eyes.

"Number One, it's Number One! It escaped, help come quickly!!"

Seeing this, the people in white coats beside Wen Xin fled in panic. The next second, the monster opened its bloody mouth and bit one of them in the waist.

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and a violent roar rang in Wen Xin's ears. The strong smell of blood hit his face and almost penetrated his nostrils.

The horrible scene before his eyes would frighten almost anyone to their knees. Facing the red fangs, Wen Xin's breathing also stagnated.

Then he felt a pain in his back, and the monster's sharp claws pressed Wen Xin heavily to the ground.

The huge size that was enough to break through the ceiling brought a terrifying sense of oppression, and the two pairs of scarlet pupils seemed to be burning with blazing flames, making people feel a chill as if they were at the bottom of the abyss from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Wen Xin was not afraid, his eyes were fixed stiffly on the monster's body.

There was an iron shackle around its neck, with thorn-like spikes digging into its scales and piercing through its flesh, leaving bleeding holes. Its spine was covered with metal shackles, and its legs and feet were bound by iron rings.

The scales on the left side of the head, chest, and tail were turned outward, the skin and flesh were torn, and the pale bones were exposed, covered with scorch marks from electric shock.

"What did they do to you?"

Under the monster's death stare, Wen Xin stretched out his hand, his trembling fingertips wanting to touch the flesh that was turned outward and cracked, but he couldn't bear it and froze in mid-air, his eyes red with anger, "What did they do to you?!"

The ferocious eyes that seemed to tear everything apart paused because of the angry roar.

The black monster looked at Wen Xin strangely, and the scarlet in his eyes faded a little.

It seemed to have regained its sanity for a moment and smelled the faint scent of grass on the young man. The smell made it nostalgic and it couldn't help but smell it carefully.

"Number One hasn't run away yet, hurry up--"

The black monster's eyes blurred.

I saw Wen Xin, who was just like fish on a chopping board, nimbly flipped over and jumped up from its claws, picked up the equipment next to the corpse, and fired a shot at the white coat that was rushing towards him.

The man in the white coat cried out in pain, and the white box in his hand fell to the ground.

Hearing the sound of the box falling to the ground, the black beast finally came back to its senses and stared at the box as if it were facing a formidable enemy.

Wen Xin had seen the same box in his brother's hand before, which contained something that could restrain mutants. He knew the pros and cons very well, so he continued to load the gun without hesitation and shouted, "Run, I'll help you hold them back!"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Xin felt his neck tighten.

The black monster was still in a violent state and did not recognize who Wen Xin was, but it did not prevent it from smelling the scent and feeling the love in its heart that was hard to ignore.

So it picked up Wen Xin who was caught off guard, threw him on its back, opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, shouting back all the guards who were rushing over, and jumped up.

Wen Xin turned around dizzy and grabbed Xiao Hei's scales. He had never thought that things would turn out like this.

The rapid leaps of the giant beast beneath him caused his vision to shake constantly. Wen Xin felt a little unsteady in his sitting position. His hand slipped and he touched a long and thin object.

It's still moving, it's alive!

Wen Xin picked it up and took a look. Green scales, snake pupils, fangs... this long and thin thing turned out to be a small green snake, with a head only as big as his fingernail.

Seeing this familiar appearance, he called out in a daze: "...A-Lu?"

The little snake shook its head and stared at him with a look of clear confusion in its eyes.

It looked at the human who suddenly appeared on No. 1's back, but strangely it did not feel disgusted. Instead, it liked him more and more.

Without a mature snake brain, you can't think about complicated things.

But in the snake's view, if you like something, you have to eat it early, otherwise it will be snatched away.

Before Wen Xin could think about what the scale viper was, the little green snake suddenly made a sound, showing its tiny sharp teeth, and bit his fingertip.

Wen Xin: “……!”
