Day 2
Ling Shi had no idea how things had developed to this point.
Two people were squeezed on the single bed. Lu Tingxiao was lying on his side, his hands helping him do something difficult to talk about.
But his whole body was as limp as a puddle of water, and he didn't even have a trace of extra strength except staring at the ceiling and gasping for breath.
The resistance that was originally clamoring in the brain has been conquered little by little by the pleasure felt by the body, and no longer shows up at all.
how so.....
Lu Tingxiao actually helped him...
Ling Shi's mind was a mess, and the only thing left was the white space on the ceiling...
An unknown amount of time passed before Lu Tingxiao pulled his hand, coaxing him to "repay" him, and acted recklessly.
He only remembered that his hands were extremely sore, from his arms to his wrists and even his fingers... He had used up every last bit of energy in his body...
Lu Tingxiao didn't let him go until he could no longer lift his hands and had no strength to say another word.
Ling Shi had a dream.
In his dream, he went to a lush forest. The air in the forest was fresh, and nameless wild flowers were everywhere, colorful and blooming wildly.
Not far away there is a winding stream, flowing down along pebbles of various sizes, shimmering in the sunlight.
He was in a good mood and wandered alone in the jungle.
As he was walking around, he seemed to remember that he had an appointment with someone.
So he looked into the distance.
Where was the appointment?
Just then, a roar was heard from not far away.
A large brown bear, standing on its legs, walked towards him.
Ling Shi turned and ran.
But it was too late. The brown bear slapped him right on the side of his waist and abdomen, so hard that he could hardly breathe.
At this moment, Ling Shi woke up.
There was a familiar arm hanging around his waist.
It’s Lu Tingxiao’s.
Ling Shi blinked twice, and the memories of last night instantly flooded into his mind.
His face suddenly turned red again.
Ling Shi lay there motionless, slowly digesting what had happened.
His body was very clean, probably because Lu Tingxiao had helped him clean it.
The arm pressing on his waist felt a bit heavy, and he was not used to it.
But he didn't break free, he didn't know how to face Lu Tingxiao at all.
At this moment, the arm at the side of the waist moved.
The person behind him carefully raised his arm, slowly got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom in a very quiet manner.
Ling Shi still had his eyes closed.
After a while, he heard Lu Tingxiao behind him put on his clothes, gently opened the door and walked out.
Um?
What time is it now?
This person actually just left?
After spending a night like that, she left without waiting for him to wake up or saying a word to him?
Ling Shi slowly sat up.
I felt half upset, but half relieved.
Even if Lu Tingxiao was sitting in front of him, he didn't know what to say.
He sat on the bed for a few minutes, then cheered himself up and got out of bed to wash up.
After getting some simple breakfast from the restaurant on the first floor, Ling Shi went out.
He has to go to the lab today.
He tried to focus his mind back on the business.
The right arm is thinner than the left arm, and he hasn't figured out the reason yet.
Even for creatures that are accustomed to using their right hands, there would not be such a big difference.
When he arrived at the laboratory, Dr. Colon was already waiting for him.
Ling Shi nodded, not wanting to say a word, and took out the dragon horn to begin studying it.
This wait lasted for a whole day.
Sure enough, for him, scientific research is the most suitable thing to indulge in.
It was not until he felt hungry that he turned his mind away from the laboratory table.
Dr. Colon had been with him all day and was clearly losing his patience. "Dr. Ling, let's stop here for today's research."
Ling Shi didn't gain much today.
He used various instruments to conduct a comprehensive test on the dragon horn, but found no other meaningful results except that the cell density was slightly lower than that of the one from China.
He didn't say anything and quietly began to pack up the supplies on the laboratory table.
"What?" Dr. Colon asked rudely, "I've already met your demands. Are you still trying to be so rude?"
Ling Shi was stunned.
Making a face?
Only then did he realize that he was indeed looking grim and in a bad mood.
Is it because the experiment had no results?
Thinking of this, Ling Shi was shocked.
For a researcher, it is normal for a day's experiment to yield no results.
Why does he have to keep such a stern face?
It was not until this moment that he realized that it was because of Lu Tingxiao.
After experiencing that night, Lu Tingxiao disappeared for the entire day.
Not a single word was spoken to him.
He could ignore Lu Tingxiao, but how could Lu Tingxiao ignore him? !
This filthy bastard is responsible for all this.
Ling Shi glanced at Cologne, still too lazy to speak.
While silently packing up her things, she cursed Lu Tingxiao in her heart.
This bastard!
This hooligan!
This heartless villain! Asshole!
He was cursing furiously when Cologne grabbed his shoulder and said, "Should you give me the remaining half of the Country M data?"
Ling Shi looked up and finally said his first words of the day: "The information is not with me."
"You Chinese are liars!" Cologne grabbed him and refused to let go. "We clearly agreed to give us all the information!"
Bang--
The laboratory door was pushed open forcefully.
Lu Tingxiao strode in and pointed at Kelong: "Let me go!"
He had a gloomy face and looked very fierce.
Even Ling Shi was almost scared by him.
Cologne immediately let go: "We clearly agreed..."
"What the hell!" Lu Tingxiao interrupted him. "What did you say when you told us to go to the research base and die?"
Indeed, given the situation at the research base, any team that enters, except the White Eagles, will never return.
Lu Tingxiao looked Ling Shi up and down: "You didn't get bullied by him, did you?"
Bully?
When did Ling Shi become so weak that he could be bullied by a scientific researcher?
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Lu Tingxiao grabbed Ling Shi's wrist and said, "Let's go."
"Wait," Dr. Colon stopped them, "Give me the information!"
Lu Tingxiao turned around, grabbed his neck, and slammed him against the wall: "I told you to wait patiently."
Just then, there were many messy footsteps outside the laboratory.
It turned out to be Pushkin who came with Sergei.
Lu Tingxiao let go of Cologne and turned to look outside: "Hey, General Pushkin is here in person, is there something important?"
Pushkin glanced at Colon. "Nothing particularly important. I just heard Colon complain a bit. He said he was very curious about the American data, but he couldn't get a glimpse of the complete content, and he was very anxious."
"Those of them who do scientific research are completely immersed in their experiments. I can understand their urgency."
"General," Lu Tingxiao said slowly, "are you here to get information as well?"
Pushkin: "At yesterday's dinner, we laid a solid foundation for our friendship."
"Given Ohio's sincerity, I hope Captain Lu can help our researchers realize their dreams soon."
Lu Tingxiao looked at Pushkin without saying anything.
At yesterday's dinner, Pushkin took advantage of the atmosphere of the banquet and Sidorov's apology, hoping that Lu Tingxiao would give in and give him something in return.
Unexpectedly, Lu Tingxiao refused to hand over the equipment after a few words.
After a whole day, Pushkin finally lost his patience and came to put pressure on them.
Both sides are very clear about what they are planning.
If you don't hand over the information today, I'm afraid it won't end well.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn for a while.
Sergei next to him tried to smooth things over: "Captain Lu, did you enjoy the tea we had last night?"
"Why did I hear that you weren't very satisfied with the people you sent?"
"Is it that their service is not considerate enough?"
Speaking of this, Lu Tingxiao suddenly smiled.
"Yes, since Ohio is so kind and sincere, I should also show some appreciation."
He took out two thin folded pieces of paper from his trouser pocket and patted Colon's face: "I'm sorry, Doctor, I was too rude just now."
Cologne didn't bother to count the money. He took the two pieces of paper and started reading.
"Since I've handed over the information," Lu Tingxiao looked at Pushkin, "Can you let us go?"
Pushkin still had no expression on his face, and seemed indifferent to him handing over the information.
"So far, the deal between Ohio and China has been quite satisfactory," he said. "The only thing that hasn't been completed is the last one."
"How about letting you study the dragon horn for another day tomorrow? Once you're done, return the equipment to us?"
He glanced at Ling Shi and said, "Captain Ling, it looks like you've almost recovered."
Lu Tingxiao: "Okay."
If this goes on any longer, Pushkin will probably get angry.
After saying that, he dragged Ling Shi out of the institute.
It was not until they walked outside that Ling Shi realized that he had been holding her hand for such a long time.
Just now, in front of so many people, I didn't let go...
Ling Shi struggled hard and freed his hand.
Lu Tingxiao turned around, the expression on his face slowly relaxed, and finally, he burst out laughing.
Just with this smile, Ling Shi's depressed mood that had been there for the whole day was completely dissipated.
"Why did you feel so bad just now?" Lu Tingxiao leaned closer and asked in a lower voice, "Did you miss me because you couldn't see me?"
"Bullshit," Ling Shi blushed and pushed him away. "I've been busy all day, how can I have the time to care about you?"
He quickened his pace: "Hurry up and eat, we have something to do tonight."
Lu Tingxiao followed behind him, laughing and saying, "What do you mean?"
"We should have done this last night." Ling Shi glared at Lu Tingxiao fiercely, "Give all team members access to the equipment."
They returned to the villa, quickly finished dinner, and gathered all the members of the White Eagle Team in the living room.
Ling Shi briefly explained his situation, and everyone was stunned.
"The cells have grown so much?!" Zuo Hao sighed, and then asked, "What about Team Lu's abilities? Has it really been grafted onto you?"
When this was mentioned, Ling Shi remembered that when he was looking at the data last night, he forgot to try out the new grafted abilities.
His face heated up: "I don't know yet. I'll try."
He imitated Lu Tingxiao, spreading his hands at his sides. After a pause, he asked sheepishly, "How do I use this ability?"
Lu Tingxiao couldn't stop laughing.
After a while, seeing Ling Shi's red face about to kill someone, he rubbed his abdomen and said, "There are no corrupted people here, so it's difficult for you to experiment."
"Imagine there's a rotten person in front of you, and the cells in your body can connect to it."
"Once connected, the cells burst out of the body and attach themselves to the corrupted people, allowing us to control them."
"Oh." Ling Shi took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, a cluster of gray dots the size of rice grains appeared in the palms of his hands.
It's very small and slow, but it exists.
"Wow!" Zuo Hao shouted, "That's it! It's the control ability of the road team!"
Ling Shi's concentration was interrupted by his shout.
The gray rice grains in his hand disappeared instantly.
Ling Shi glanced at Zuo Hao unhappily, not knowing how to complain for a moment.
Zuo Hao scratched his head: "Did I... say something wrong again?"
"It's not your fault." Lu Tingxiao helped him for once. "It's just that your teammate Ling's ability is still too weak. You need more practice."
Ling Shi frowned: "Could it be that you gave too few cells?"
Lu Tingxiao sighed and stretched out his hand: "Come on, take whatever you want."
