Chapter 120
"Hey, why did you pour out all the good food?"
Professor Chen squatted beside the trash can and said with a hint of regret: "I haven't even eaten yet."
The people who had already reached the door paused, and several looked at Yan Ning. Chen Yunliang asked, "You didn't give Professor Chen any food?"
Yan Ning said expressionlessly, "The old man's body can't handle the food I cooked."
Professor Chen heard the noise and looked back. He saw a crowd of people standing at the cave entrance without him noticing.
"you……"
Lu Shiyu walked into the cave and said, "Professor Chen, let's go back..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Shiyu's nose moved, as if he smelled something strange.
"Why does it smell like that in here?"
Professor Chen looked down at the trash can, immediately loosened his grip and said, "Ahem, that kid Yan Ning must have been lazy and didn't take out the trash. The trash has become smelly. Well, it's okay. We can talk about it outside if we have anything else."
Professor Chen pushed a few people out, and Yan Ning, who was taking the blame, followed silently.
As soon as he saw Lu Shiyu, Professor Chen told him about how he had followed a recipe Lu Shiyu had given him but the result was not satisfactory. Lu Shiyu pondered for a moment and said, "Cooking is not like doing an experiment where you need to stick to fixed proportions. Often, cooking requires some flexibility. For example, if the meat has a strong fishy smell, you need to spend more time on removing the fishy smell. If the meat is too fat, you need to fry it for a longer time. Different ingredients will also affect the cooking method and taste."
Professor Chen nodded as if he understood, and then he heard Lu Shiyu add a sentence.
"The most important thing is that beginners must use a low heat, a low heat, a low heat."
Lu Shiyu looked at Professor Chen: "Otherwise, it will be confusing."
Professor Chen: “…”
Thanks, but it's too late.
Tang Zeyu briefly told Professor Chen what happened after they arrived at the Dawn Base. Professor Chen was rarely so quiet, and he looked a little melancholy after listening to Tang Zeyu's story.
"Ah, it seems Wu Xi has really been taking good care of Dawn Base these past few years. She's really worked hard."
Lu Shiyu was curious: "Professor Chen, what is your relationship with Wu Xi? Why do you know her?"
And he looked very familiar.
Professor Chen blurted out subconsciously: "Of course it's because she is my student..."
Professor Chen suddenly stopped talking halfway and began to change the subject.
"Oh, by the way, did Wu Xi give you any trouble? She has a bad temper and is impatient..."
While on the road, Yu suddenly felt as if there was a strong gaze, and when he looked back, it was Yan Ning.
Yan Ning frowned and asked word by word, "Didn't you say I was your only student?"
Professor Chen coughed lightly and said, "What I said at the beginning was that you are my only student in the Shuguang Base. I didn't say that there are no other bases."
Yan Ning: "I chose to follow you because you said you only had me as your disciple..."
Professor Chen added guiltily, "But don't worry, you won't lose a penny of your resources. Your senior sister has only learned my knowledge, but all my connections and resources are left to you!"
Yan Ning mercilessly exposed the truth, saying, "That's simply because the resources from Dawn Base are too obvious to the people from Dawn Base and will be discovered."
Lu Shiyu listened to Yan Ning constantly undermining Professor Chen, and saw no trace of the deep teacher-student relationship they once had. He could not help but back away in shame.
“How terrifying…”
In the end, it was Tang Zeyu who took the initiative to take Professor Chen to see the meteorite crater and rescued Professor Chen.
While passing through the tunnel, Chen Yunliang asked Professor Chen if he knew why there was a man-made tunnel here, but he received a negative answer.
"However, this tunnel is obviously not used for mining or transporting materials, and it is even less likely to be used by the indigenous people for daily transportation. There may be something other than meteorites in here. If the conditions allow, we can come here to explore it in the future."
The group returned to the edge of the meteorite crater again. Zhang Hezhi and the helicopter pilot had already tied up the meteorite and were ready to take off and take it away at any time.
This scene scared the group of people. Shao Xingyang quickly stepped forward and said, "Why did you tie up the meteorite?"
Zhang Hezhi asked in confusion, "How can we take it back if we don't tie it up?"
Not only did Zhang Hezhi not feel anything was wrong, he even pointed to several rock peaks on the meteorite and said proudly, "Luckily I made preparations and brought enough tools with me, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle it."
Seeing that the meteorite was hit by rock spikes, the panicked people instantly changed from Shaoxing Yang to Tang Zeyu and Lu Shiyu.
"Why did you nail it?" Lu Shiyu said nervously, at a loss, "This meteorite, it may, it just can't be damaged! Something bad will happen."
Zhang Hezhi was even more puzzled. "What could possibly happen? It's just a nail. Besides, didn't you guys knock off a piece of the meteorite yourself? You're worried about damaging the nail."
Tang Zeyu stepped forward and asked, "What does it mean for us to knock off a piece of the meteorite?"
Zhang Hezhi pointed to a certain spot on the meteorite in confusion and said, "There's a piece missing here. It's obviously man-made. It wasn't you who did it?"
How dare they touch the meteorite directly!
Yan Hong asked, "Didn't you feel any discomfort when you touched the meteorite? Like, you felt strange, like you wanted something more or less."
Zhang Hezhi recalled and said, "No, this is just an ordinary meteorite. What are you all so nervous about?"
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with suspicion and confusion.
"Is this the magical meteorite that can turn deformed animals back to normal?"
Professor Chen tapped the meteorite with his finger and said, "It does look unusual. Perhaps it can really produce unexpected results."
When Yan Ning saw that Professor Chen had actually run down to the meteorite crater alone when they were not paying attention, his eyes almost popped out. He had completely forgotten about the disagreement just now and immediately wanted to go down and pull Professor Chen up.
But as soon as he stepped into the crater, he instantly felt a pain in his head as if he was being pricked by countless needles. His supernatural powers could not be transferred at all. The pain made him stagger back several steps and almost fell down.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Hezhi, who was closer, quickly supported him. Seeing Yan Ning's strange behavior, he felt a little strange and asked the others, "What's wrong with him?"
Tang Zeyu told Zhang Hezhi about the reaction that people with special abilities would have when they came into contact with meteorites. Zhang Hezhi felt incredible after hearing it.
"But why don't the driver and I feel anything?"
"It may not be effective on ordinary people, only on people with special abilities."
Zhang Hezhi seemed to understand something and nodded, saying, "No wonder they specifically asked me to come. Xu Manwen is a person with special abilities. If she had come, she would have been in trouble. They saw that I don't have special abilities and am just an ordinary person, so they asked me to come."
Tang Zeyu really wanted to say that it was just because Zhang Hezhi was easier to talk to than Xu Manwen, but seeing that Zhang Hezhi was quite proud, he swallowed his words back.
"I never thought that ordinary people would have the upper hand one day." Zhang Hezhi said complacently.
After confirming that the rock spikes would not cause the meteorite to crack, they felt relieved and got back on the helicopter, taking off with the huge meteorite. Yan Ning and Professor Chen below just watched quietly as the helicopter took off with the meteorite.
Professor Chen sighed and said, "I hope this can be over soon. Let's go back."
Yan Ning had just taken a step when he heard Professor Chen say, "By the way, let's try out the practicality of the newly captured distorted creatures today."
For a moment, Yan Ning wanted to smash the pot.
…
The helicopter was flying in the air, slowly moving forward with the meteorite hanging below.
Zhang Hezhi glanced at the oil gauge and was relieved only after confirming that the engine oil was enough to last until they flew back to base.
Lu Shiyu stuck his head out and looked at the meteorite hanging below.
Many times people worry about some unlikely but possible accidents. For example, Lu Shiyu is very worried that the ropes tied to the meteorite will suddenly break, and the meteorite will fall from a high altitude and shatter. Lu Shiyu is not sure whether the meteorite will suddenly return to normal after it breaks, like the meteorite in the videotape, but it would be terrible if it has no effect after it breaks.
The good news is that the rope is exceptionally strong, with no signs of breaking, and the pitons are also strong and won't suddenly break.
As she was walking, she looked down at the endless woods below with boredom. Suddenly, she spotted a conspicuous white spot at the foot of a mountain.
When they came, the white spot was blocked by the mountain, but when they returned, it could be seen again, which led to Lu Shiyu Gang noticing the white spot.
Lu Shiyu squinted his eyes and looked carefully. It seemed to be a white building.
Lu Shiyu retreated into the helicopter and asked if there was a telescope. Zhang Hezhi rummaged for a long time before taking out a dusty telescope and handed it to Lu Shiyu. Lu Shiyu did not mind it. He patted it and put it in front of his eyes to observe the white unidentified building.
It seems to be a small villa, covering a large area. The surrounding area seems to have been cleared, and there are no trees in a large area. However, it has been overgrown with weeds because it has been abandoned for too long, and the house itself has become dilapidated due to years of disrepair and is covered with vegetation.
"What is that?"
Tang Zeyu took the telescope and looked down with Lu Shiyu.
For some reason, Lu Shiyu always felt that this building gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but she couldn't remember it at all.
But thinking that I had never been to the villa and that I probably just mixed it up, I didn't take it seriously and just thought it was a place where rich people stayed to relax.
The helicopter successfully returned to the Dawn Base with the meteorite, and a group of people surrounded it as soon as it landed.
Of course, they were not looking for Zhang Hezhi and the others, but were coming for the meteorite.
Before a group of scientific researchers were about to pounce like wolves and tigers, Zhang Hezhi successfully knocked down several of them with a sliding tackle, and used a human wall to block the group of people who only had meteorites in their eyes.
"Hey Zhang Hezhi, what are you doing? Let us pass quickly."
"That's right, the base commander has approved it, so don't waste our time."
"I can't wait any longer! This is a meteorite! And it has magical powers!"
Zhang Hezhi calmly stood up, dusted off his body, and asked several people who had special abilities. Although the researchers did not understand why Zhang Hezhi asked this, they still answered truthfully. Several of those with special abilities stood up honestly.
Zhang Hezhi nodded and said, "Okay, these people are not allowed to get close to the meteorite."
These words instantly aroused the anger of those people and they started shouting.
"Why won't you let us get closer? We need to do research too."
"That's right. I've dedicated so many years to the base, why shouldn't I be allowed to participate in such an important project?"
"Why can't I get close to you even though I have superpowers? This is discrimination! Blatant discrimination! I want to see the base commander! I'm going to call the police to arrest you!"
Just as Zhang Hezhi was about to explain, he was surrounded by irrational clerks and was not even given a chance to speak.
On the other side, Tang Zeyu and others and Xu Manwen who was leaning against the pillar at the door just stood aside and watched the show, with no intention of stepping forward to help. There was nothing they could do. This group of staff had lost their minds, and anyone who stood in their way would die.
At the same time, Xu Manwen laughed so wildly that her stomach hurt. She leaned against the pillar at the door and slowly slid down, almost dying of laughter.
When Wu Xi heard the noise and came out, she found that her two capable subordinates had almost died at their doorstep.
