"Didn't I tell you? Professor Zhong Lingfan asked me to come here to get something."
Xu Zhi replied impatiently, then asked decisively, "Where did this alien come from?"
All the creatures that they had worked so hard to study were easily defeated by Xu Zhi. They once relied on these things to protect the research institute!
But now, under Xu Zhi's "iron fist", he had a clearer view of reality and could only reply obediently: "This was caught outside the research institute on the day the incident occurred."
"Is this the only one?" Xu Zhi asked.
The other party nodded and said: "We only caught this one. The others ran away very quickly, so we didn't dare to chase them too far."
"How do you control it?"
All alien species will involuntarily go to the city center, but this one did not.
"These" researchers looked at each other, as if considering whether to tell this "secret".
Xu Zhi originally thought that these people would have come to their senses, but he didn't expect them to be so stubborn.
"Then die with your secret."
She didn't intend to kill these people. At most, she wanted to threaten them to make them obey. But as soon as she opened her mouth, the more she spoke, the more violent anger surged in her heart. In the end, the word "die" seemed to be sincere and heartfelt.
The murderous intent almost pounced on the faces of several researchers, and they instantly became timid.
“It’s a black fruit!”
Black fruit?
Xu Zhi didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise.
"Tell me more carefully," she ordered.
"At the beginning, this alien species was indeed undisciplined and tried to escape all the time. We had no choice but to lock it up. When we achieved initial research results on mutant animals." The researcher who was leading the narration said this, but was afraid that Xu Zhi might not understand, so he added another sentence.
"Our research is about trying to use supernatural powers and technology to control mutant animals. As you can see, the results so far aren't very good. We think we might be on the wrong track."
"However, after we achieved some success, we tried to use it on this alien species, but the effect was not obvious."
"But when we saw that black fruit at the entrance of the research institute and it was snatched away and eaten by this alien species, everything changed."
Xu Zhi:?
Found it at the door?
The other things will wait, but isn’t it a bit too much to pick up the black fruit at the door?
Xu Zhi felt that he could understand Yu Shenwei's jealousy a little at this moment.
The researcher was completely unaware of Xu Zhi's twisted mood and continued to narrate, "After eating the black fruit, it seemed to have gained intelligence. We are wondering if the function of that fruit is to open the intelligence of alien and mutant animals?"
"It's a pity that I didn't pick it up again to do an experiment."
"After it awakened its intelligence, our experiments began to gradually take effect!"
"Using supernatural powers and scientific methods, perhaps with some influence from the black fruit, this creature still frequently attempts to escape, but it can now temporarily obey orders."
"But this time cannot be too long. It is easier for it to escape control than mutant animals."
"And it can't accept overly detailed orders, only superficial ones that won't make it resist."
Xu Zhi sighed in his heart, the control effect was too weak.
After all this long talk, the only useful thing in Xu Zhi's ears was that this alien species developed some intelligence after eating the black fruit, and was able to temporarily get rid of the idea of going to the city center.
Combined with the previous narration asking her to feed the little alien with black fruit, it seems that the black fruit has a special effect on the alien. Can she find a way to safely enter the city center from this aspect?
The black fruit comes from midnight. If there is a way, it would probably be found at midnight.
She would have to ask the narrator.
"That's all?"
"That's all, really." The researcher said sincerely, "So, could you please not kill us, or it? We still want to continue our research."
He is quite good at making conditions.
"It's not impossible." Xu Zhi said generously, "But you have to move to another place to do research with it. I said I want to take the equipment."
"As for you, even though your research is terrible, it's not completely useless. I can reluctantly accept you and provide you with research materials and a location."
As he spoke, Xu Zhi also released his trump card: "I have a plantation filled with all kinds of mutant animal cubs, and a place where you can conduct experiments in peace without worrying about any external dangers. I will also provide you with cores that match your attributes as wages. How about it, do you want to go?"
Things have come to this point, and they actually have no choice. What's more, the conditions given by Xu Zhi are indeed impossible to refuse!
Unlike other residents, Xu Zhi used less coercion and more inducement when dealing with researchers. After all, she needed this group of people to put in more effort and energy than ordinary residents, so it would be best to make them willing to do so.
Xu Zhi asked the dog that made the researchers stare with their eyes wide open to escort them back to the residential area, and also brought along an alien that was tied up like a dumpling. As for the research equipment, except for those that could be taken back this time and were urgently needed, the rest were packed into the warehouse by Xu Zhi, and they could only be given to them after she returned to the residential area.
After the researcher left, Xu Zhi first took out a [Moth] attribute core from the warehouse, placed it in his palm, and squatted down.
Seeing her action, the cat that had been staying beside her without getting close to her now walked up to her quite consciously, lowered its head and started to eat the core in Xu Zhi's palm with a leisurely look.
Now she no longer picked up the core and ran away, but used Xu Zhi's palm as a "rice bowl". Every time she finished eating, she would slowly leave Xu Zhi and continue to find a place to be the boss.
Xu Zhi was quite satisfied with the current progress. The cat's guard against her had mostly gone down, but it still didn't like being touched on the head by Xu Zhi, and would not take the initiative to get close to Xu Zhi. This would take some time.
After feeding the cat, Xu Zhi looked up and saw Yu Shenwei's eyes, which she didn't have time to avoid, so she missed the cat's tail deliberately sweeping towards her legs when it left her side, and the emerald green eyes looking at Yu Shenwei with some contempt.
How to say it, Xu Zhi is now used to Yu Shenwei's situation, and Yu Shenwei probably also knows that as long as she doesn't actually do anything that makes Xu Zhi hate her, Xu Zhi can tolerate it.
But if she did anything to harm Xu Zhi's family or hinder Xu Zhi out of jealousy, Xu Zhi would probably choose to kill her the next moment.
Yu Shenwei was very aware that he had no status at all in Xu Zhi's eyes.
She felt that this was normal. After all, they were not even the same kind in a sense. But she was also annoyed by this because she really regarded Xu Zhi as a friend.
She even restrained her believer's nature and did not have the intention to kill Xu Zhi, but she had no idea what she meant to Xu Zhi. Anyway, she guessed that she was not even a friend.
Thinking of this, Yu Shenwei felt again: It was strange. Since her awakening, most of her former human emotions had left her, but after the ceremony, she seemed to have regained a lot of "human" feelings.
