The moment he saw the garbage bag, Ling Shi had a strong feeling.

The dragon horn is inside.

It's a very subtle sense of calling, as if... a mother is calling her child home.

He walked forward and did not forget to comfort the cleaner: "We were looking for something and accidentally threw it in the trash can. It's none of your business, don't be afraid."

The cleaner nodded, tremblingly put down two large bags of garbage, and took two steps back.

Ling Shi took one of the bags, then pulled Lu Tingxiao over and pointed at the other bag of garbage with his chin: "Your job."

There are two dragon horns.

It should be in these two bags of garbage.

Lu Tingxiao made a "tsk" sound, frowned tightly, and pulled the bag of garbage over reluctantly.

Ling Shi glanced at him. At such an important moment, he almost laughed out loud.

Could this be Lu Tingxiao's own idea?

If that's true, he certainly didn't expect that he would have to go out and rummage through the garbage himself, right?

Regardless of the truth, Ling Shi held back his laughter and quickly untied the drawstring of the garbage bag.

If it really was Lu Tingxiao, then he deserved it.

Fortunately, most of the garbage in the laboratory is waste materials discarded during experiments. Although it has the smell of burnt and chemical agents, it does not have the stench of rotten kitchen waste.

Especially the fire in the morning, which almost burned everything in the trash can, leaving only a pile of ashes.

Ling Shi pushed aside a pile of gray-brown powder, dug it twice, and soon saw the box containing the dragon horn underneath.

It wasn't closed tightly, leaving a gap.

The gap is very small, which means that the breath that can leak out of the dragon horn is also very weak.

No wonder others don't feel it.

Ling Shi once again confirmed that he was different from other evolved humans.

He grabbed the box and lifted it out from the pile of powder.

When he saw the safe and sound arm in the box, Ling Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the box was relatively clean and not contaminated by powder.

He looked up and saw Lu Tingxiao with a twisted and disgusted look on his face, taking out another box from the trash bag.

It contains the sternum.

Ling Shi relaxed again.

Okay, no problem.

But Lu Tingxiao... that guy is really messing around. I need to have a good talk with him when I get back.

Ma Minghong's surprised voice came from behind: "Found it? So fast!"

When he shouted, the footsteps of other people in the laboratory came one after another.

Xiao Yang was the first to speak: "Wow, you found it already?"

He glanced at Wang Fenghua, who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked, "Did you accidentally throw it away?"

"You didn't even bother looking for him, and you alerted Premier Yu and me, causing chaos throughout the base?"

Wang Fenghua was stunned, staring at the two dragon horns, his eyes almost popping out.

He wasn't that stupid after all. After a quick thought, he pointed at Lu Tingxiao and said, "It's him! He's the one who did it!"

"It must be him. He bribed the people in my lab!"

"That's why he set the pace for us the moment the dragon horn was lost, and urged me to report to the Prime Minister!"

He looked around and saw Zhou Shuyan standing in the corner. His eyes were about to spit fire: "It's you! You traitor!"

He bared his teeth and claws, looking like he wanted to rush over and scratch the person. But in the end, he stood still, gesturing to express his anger. Perhaps he felt that Zhou Shuyan was younger than him and that fighting would be a bad thing.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lu Tingxiao casually grabbed a corner of the Dragon Horn box with one hand and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean I am his?"

"You can't just put on a hat like that. I'm sleeping so early in the morning, who has the time to mess with me?"

"Besides," he glanced at Zhou Shuyan, who looked terrified, "Who is that? I don't even know him."

Compared to Wang Fenghua's exasperation, Lu Tingxiao was remarkably calm. His tone was casual, his posture was relaxed, and the Dragon Horn Box swung back and forth in his hands, giving the impression that he might throw it away.

Wang Fenghua choked and roared again, "Investigate! Prime Minister Yu, this matter must be investigated thoroughly!"

“You can’t do this…”

"Alright." Yu Zhengping said, "Finding the Dragon Horn is the most important thing."

He immediately rejected Wang Fenghua's opinion. By now, the dean's value had plummeted, and it was no longer worth paying attention to his ideas.

He continued, "Besides, the dragon horn was in the garbage bag. How could you all not notice it?"

This sentence has the connotation of blame. The superior's blame is a very deadly signal to people within the system.

"It's not their fault." Lu Tingxiao picked up the dragon horn box and gestured: "The dragon horn is placed in a sealed box. There is only this shallow crack that is not closed. It is difficult to sense it."

"Only those who are most familiar with dragon horns and have a high level of evolution have the ability to sense them."

This time, everyone heard the key information.

Lingshi is special.

Yu Zhengping nodded: "Okay, just find it back."

He also visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Ling, you need to put the dragon horn in a safe place. Don't lose it again."

It was Ling Shi's suggestion to send the dragon horn to the lab. If such an important thing were lost under his jurisdiction, not to mention whether he could keep his position, the eyes of others would be unstoppable.

Ling Shi nodded and snatched the dragon horn sternum from Lu Tingxiao.

This man is holding the box in a sloppy manner, which is so unsafe.

Lu Tingxiao had his box snatched away, but instead smiled at Ling Shi: "Prime Minister Yu, now that the problem has been solved, shouldn't we also reward them according to their merits?"

Wang Fenghua roared, "You guys were the ones who did this, what kind of reward are you expecting?"

He looked like he was on the verge of collapse and was trying to make a final struggle.

"Oh?" Lu Tingxiao wasn't nervous at all. He walked slowly towards Wang Fenghua, "Dean Wang, let's not talk about the reward for now. Let's discuss your crime first."

Still a very confident tone.

Wang Fenghua was stunned: "What crime have I committed?"

Lu Tingxiao raised a finger and said, "The first major crime is that the process for handling experimental waste is unqualified."

His speech speed began to speed up slightly, and his tone became more serious.

Wang Fenghua was about to refute when he was stopped by him.

"Don't worry," Lu Tingxiao walked towards the laboratory: "Come, come in and take a look."

He waved to everyone and walked in very calmly. His aura had a kind of appeal that made people follow him unconsciously.

Ling Shi's heart moved. He had carefully read the rules and regulations on the wall yesterday, and complained about them to Lu Tingxiao during lunch and chat.

Although the form looks decent, the content has many flaws.

Everyone followed him in. Many people were confused, including the researchers in the lab.

Lu Tingxiao pointed at the words on the wall: "There are many chemicals in the laboratory, and there should be absolute requirements for open flames."

“But it’s not on this list of rules and regulations.”

Wang Fenghua stared at the wall without saying a word.

Lu Tingxiao continued walking until he reached the researchers and pointed at them. "The second biggest crime is that the personnel training was unsatisfactory."

The people who were pointed at shrank back, trying their best to hide their presence, but they didn't dare to run away.

Lu Tingxiao continued, "The researchers lack awareness and quality. They rush to put out every fire, with no regard for protecting important supplies."

"Dean Wang, according to you, they are all your confidants. Why don't you pay more attention to and train them well?"

Wang Fenghua was choked and his face looked very ugly.

"The third major crime," Lu Tingxiao looked at Wang Fenghua. "Dean Wang, all the researchers, including you, know nothing about dragon horns, have no experience, and have no reverence for them at all!"

"Who told you that dragon horns should be cut? Do you have a theoretical basis?"

"What if, after your research, you discover that the Dragon Horn's greatest value must be realized as a whole? What will you do?"

Wang Fenghua stood there for a moment, looking dumbfounded.

The whole place was silent for several seconds.

Everyone, including the Prime Minister, found Lu Tingxiao's argument irrefutable. The most unacceptable thing was that Lu Tingxiao was not a researcher at all.

If he can find the loophole here, does that mean... this loophole is as big as a sea bucket?

"Lu Tingxiao, you can do it!" Xiao Yang finally spoke up: "I want to take back what I said yesterday. After not seeing you for ten years, you have completely changed."

"He even explains such professional content in a coherent manner."

He glanced at Ling Shi casually: "You've improved."

Lu Tingxiao waved his hand. "Alright, I've made it clear. I believe Premier Yu will make the right decision on who should be the head of the Dragon Horn project."

"No!" Wang Fenghua seemed to be possessed by a demon, shouting in protest: "He's not at the right level!"

His hands trembled slightly, his face flushed with anger. His mistake was already established, and he'd been stripped of his underwear and exposed to so many people. Regaining control of the Dragon Horn was impossible. But even if he couldn't get it, he couldn't let the new young man get it.

Job title is the best excuse.

Yu Zhengping took a half step forward. "Ling Shi has been commended for his contribution in finding the Dragon Horn. His rank has been promoted to C1, and he is tentatively appointed as...the temporary person in charge of the Dragon Horn project."

"Okay, that's the end of this matter."

He glanced at Xiao Yang and said, "General Xiao, the next security and comfort work will be handed over to you."

In just a few words, he concluded the whole matter, leaving no room for anyone to refute.

Henry Zhang nodded: "Don't worry, Prime Minister Yu."

He ordered his men to clean up the scene, cleaning, tidying, and getting rid of people.

Except for Wang Fenghua, everyone else walked out of the laboratory without waiting for anyone to rush them.

After everyone had left, the officer in charge of clearing the area glared at Wang Fenghua, grabbed his arm, and dragged him out of the laboratory.

This man wasn't a tough nut to crack. He was grabbed by the tough soldier, unable to break free. With reddened eyes, he was dragged out of the laboratory.

But in just one hour, the entire laboratory was cleared.

The burnt smell dissipated completely. The guard brought an air purifier and sprayed odorless disinfectant spray into the air.

Finally, the whole space is restored to its original state.

The empty laboratory was very quiet.

The chaos had passed, and the entire space was silent, giving Ling Shi the illusion that he was back in the First Research Institute.

He sat alone at the desk in the corner, holding the information from the state of Ohio.

He crunched the document, thinking to himself, "Ohio State is really concise. Such an important achievement was clearly explained in just a few pages."

Until he finished reading it in just five minutes...

For a moment, I didn’t know how to express the MMP that was bursting out of my heart!

There are only two words running through my mind: That’s it?

That’s it?!

Is it worth him washing socks, cooking and making beds in exchange?

The information is very simple and is divided into three categories.

The first category is the study of corrupted people. The corrupted people they captured had a range of 11% to 49% in their body display index. This data is closely related to the corrupted people's strength.

The second category is the test results of existing dragon warriors and spiritual wise men.

Data showed that the Dragon Warrior's index ranged from 8% to 29%. In addition to Lawson, there was another Dragon Warrior in China with an index of 28%, Xiao Yang's deputy general, Lin Chu.

In addition, all dragon warriors have hidden cells in their bodies, with the data ranging from 1% to 4%.

As to whether this hidden cell has any function, there is no conclusion yet.

However, there are only hidden cells in the body of a spiritually intelligent person.

The third category is the research on medicines.

The Russian side has developed a total of two reagents, one is a therapeutic agent and the other is an evolutionary agent.

This is probably the reason why they are so tough.

However, the so-called therapeutic agent is nothing more than a cell freezing agent that slows down the infection of corrupted cells, allowing those who should have died on the battlefield to return in time to see their families.

It can't achieve the effect of "treatment" at all.

It is far from Ning Fu's healing ability.

The so-called evolution agent is even more outrageous. It is nothing more than extracting some dragon warriors' visible cells and injecting them into ordinary people.

Even though the evolution agent states that it has an extremely high mortality rate, there are still people who flock to this "evolution agent" for various reasons.

Ling Shi just snorted at the two reagents and threw the information directly into the shredder.

At this moment, he felt a little sorry for his labor.

The dirty clothes were still lying at the foot of the bed.

Ling Shi thought about it for a while and just stood up when the guard outside knocked on the door.

The guards have been very cautious since he took over the lab.

"Hello, Dr. Ling," the guard handed over a cell phone. "This, this is what Premier Yu asked you to do."

Ling Shi raised his eyebrows and took the phone: "Is there a signal in the base?"

The guard nodded. "Yeah, it was just repaired a couple of days ago, and it's only connected to the local area network. Once you leave the base, you can't get in touch with it."

Ling Shi smiled: "Thanks."

He opened his phone and saw that Yu Zhengping's name was already on the list.

In addition, there is a person named Li Bin.

"Li Bin?"

Ling Shi whispered.

He doesn't remember such a person.

Guard: "He, he is Prime Minister Yu's personal guard."

oh.

Now it becomes clear.

"Thank you." Ling Shi said, "By the way, what's your name?"

The guard rubbed his hands together uncomfortably. "My name is Jinbo."

"When they were assigning positions, they said that everyone in the lab has a PhD. Me too...so..."

After saying a few words, Jin Bo probably felt that such words were not appropriate in front of a real doctor, so he lowered his voice.

"Then I'll just call you Dr. Jin." Ling Shi patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm not Lu Tingxiao. I'm not that fierce."

Jin Bo visibly relaxed and nodded vigorously: "Okay."

After saying that, he actually smiled a little.

Ling Shi was secretly complaining in his heart.

What a huge shadow Lu Tingxiao has left on others...

Jin Bo went out and Ling Shi called Li Bin.

The call was connected quickly and the attitude was very respectful.

Ling Shi asked him to call all the friends who entered the base together, including Yin Shi.

He wants to give everyone an evolution index test.

I wonder if this group of people will give the base a surprise?
