Chapter 138 Perhaps Living in a Fixed Small Circle
Because it was still early, they arrived at the He Family Gene Research Institute very quickly. Unlike the previous two times, this time Yuan Li was holding a white rabbit cub to greet them at the entrance of the institute, and human gene researcher Meng Xiangwan was also standing by.
Seeing He Rongan and others arrive, the white rabbit cub in Yuan Li's arms laughed happily and reached out to hug Chi Nian who had just got off the car.
Chi Nian had held a human-shaped white rabbit cub before, and he had not forgotten how to do the hand movements, so he took the white rabbit cub from Yuan Li's hands and held it in his own arms.
As soon as the white rabbit cub was held in Chi Nian's arms, it wanted to reach out to grab the ears on Chi Nian's head. Seeing this, Chi Nian slightly tilted his head and put his left ear next to the cub's hand.
"This cub is very smart. When she heard us say you would come, she cried and asked us to bring her out to wait for you."
Of course, the white rabbit cub couldn't speak yet, but the orcs who could work in the research institute were definitely not ordinary people, and they easily guessed what the little cub meant.
Anyway, the research institute is located in the suburbs and there are usually not many people there on Saturdays, so it is quite easy to bring her out and she will not be seen by other outsiders.
"It's only been two weeks since I last saw her, and I feel like she seems to have grown up a little. It's amazing!" Xin Le looked at the white rabbit cub in Chi Nian's arms with bright eyes.
Because of the special nature of their genes, white rabbit cubs are completely different from other orc cubs and seem to grow faster.
Under normal circumstances, orc cubs should remain unchanged until they transform, just like the cubs in the third kindergarten.
Of course, the exception is the little bear cub Zhong Han - he eats so much that he keeps growing.
"Maybe it's because of human genes. This cub is indeed different from ordinary orcs." Meng Xiangwan said with a smile.
Seeing that everyone was gathered at the entrance of the institute to talk, He Rongan handed his car keys to another assistant who came to greet him, and then said, "Let's go into the conference room and talk."
Although there weren't many people here on Saturday, it would be bad if the walls had ears, and there was no guarantee that there would be any college students coming here to study or research.
Jiang Rangzhi was also thinking about Panpan's genetic report, so he invited Chi Nian and Xin Le to enter the research institute.
The group of people who had signed the confidentiality agreement were still in the conference room, but this time He Rongwan and Jiang Linfeng were not there.
After Chi Nian and Xin Le took their seats, He Rongan got straight to the point and said, "Pan Pan's genetic test report is out. Sister Meng, please introduce it to her."
Because he went to the third kindergarten to pick someone up, He Rongan did not see the contents of the report immediately.
Everyone became serious at this moment. Perhaps because of the change of scene, Xin Le put away his curiosity about the white rabbit cubs and looked seriously at Meng Xiangwan who walked forward with the report.
Due to time constraints, there was no PowerPoint presentation available, so Meng Xiangwan spoke directly, "The report shows that Panpan's genes overlap with Teacher Chi Nian's at a rate of 65%. This means she also possesses human genes, which is why her transformation failed."
After hearing Meng Xiangwan's words, Lian Jiang Rangzhi had a feeling of "as expected". He even speculated that all the orcs in the orc society who failed to transform might be because they had human genes in their bodies.
"If this is true, it means that all the volunteers we found carry human genes. Although it cannot be said that the human gene carrying rate is 100%, it also means that a large number of humans have mixed into the orc society. Otherwise, this situation would not be possible." He Rongan said seriously.
Then, he looked at Jiang Rangzhi and reminded him, "Because the genetic report just came out, we haven't informed Panpan yet. In a situation like this, she needs to sign the confidentiality agreement as well."
The He Family Gene Research Institute will not hide the conditions of the volunteers themselves, and confidentiality contracts must be signed. After all, if possible, they also need to research drugs related to genetic improvement. If it is revealed in advance, the orc society will also be in turmoil.
They are not worried that the orcs will panic, but that the humans hiding in the orc society will be in danger.
They are too fragile and unable to protect themselves, so they need to be protected.
"I'll notify Panpan to come over now." Jiang Rangzhi understood He Rongan's meaning. He took out his phone to contact his father while continuing, "Panpan carries more than half human genes. Logically, he should be closer to humans. Why does he still have scales on his skin?"
Speaking of this, Chi Nian and Xin Le remembered the reason why Pan Pan was unwilling to transform into a human form, and they also looked at Meng Xiangwan curiously.
The white rabbit cub in Chi Nian's arms also babbled a few times, as if it was confused.
The atmosphere in the meeting room became a little more relaxed after this little brat made a fuss.
Meng Xiangwan also explained, "We currently speculate that this is closely related to the beast form. Teacher Chi Nian's beast form has obvious characteristics, and after the transformation failed, he retained his ears and tail. However, Miss Panpan's beast form is a black-browed rat snake, and the only obvious snake feature is the scales on its body."
Hearing Meng Xiangwan's words, Chi Nian and Xin Le both pursed their lips and nodded, thinking that it was really not her fault that Panpan became like this.
The first thing that is unlucky for the opponent is that one of his parents is a human who sneaked into the orc society. The second thing that is unlucky is that the other party's beast form is actually a black-browed rat snake, and the debuffs are fully stacked.
Jiang Rangzhi also sighed softly and asked the next question, "Are there really humans in the orc society? If so, how did they get in?"
This is also the question that He Rongan is curious about, but the first question is obviously the easiest to answer.
"Based on the genetic test report, humans definitely exist in the orc society, and there are quite a few of them," he said. "As for the second question, my sister and brother-in-law haven't provided any clues yet, but we both suspect that humans may live in a small, fixed circle."
"After all, to them, carnivorous beastmen are extremely terrifying. Some herbivorous beastmen can easily disappear after transforming into beast form."
Yuan Li and Meng Xiangwan also nodded.
After hearing He Rongan's words, Jiang Rangzhi and the other two felt a strange sense of déjà vu, and almost immediately thought of the new kindergarten teacher Zhong Yousheng.
As ant orcs, the other party can only live in a small circle because they are too weak and the herbivorous orcs can easily crush them.
That's understandable. Although creatures like humans have strong vitality, they are very fragile. If they want to survive in the orc society, they must conceal their identity, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
So why did humans come to live on the Orc Planet? Did they arrive there one after another after the Blue Planet was deserted?
Jiang Rangzhi stopped thinking halfway through. After all, he was not a researcher, and humans did not pose any threat to him.
This is not something they should worry about, just leave it to He Rongan and the others.
