In the living room, Shen Cheng and his group sat in a row on the sofa, listening to Dr. Xiao Liang arranging tasks in front.
"The situation has changed a bit this time." Glancing at everyone, Dr. Xiao Liang said calmly, "In the reports we received from the masses this time, there were mentions of the village elders saying words like 'guardian angel'.
Such words generally have a certain historical accumulation, but we have checked a lot of local historical materials and have no clue.
This time, let's not wander around Kunlun Mountain like headless flies. Let's first find the old man in the village and ask him about the situation."
After that, Dr. Xiaoliang took a sip of water and continued, "Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask."
"Can you really be sure... that a dragon's roar has been heard in Kunlun Mountain? Could it be caused by the geographical environment of Kunlun Mountain?" Shen Cheng, who was visiting for the first time, frowned and asked.
Dr. Xiaoliang shook his head. "According to intelligence, only the local elders can hear the dragon's roar. Even the hard-of-hearing can hear it clearly. Healthy young people, however, can't hear anything. So, we can rule out the influence of the geographical environment."
Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "So amazing?"
"After all, it's related to creatures like dragons." Dr. Xiaoliang said as he took out a tablet and placed it on the coffee table. "Also, take a look at this video."
Several people looked closely and saw on the tablet the magnificent spectacle of the night sky on the top of Kunlun Mountain in the western region that was reported in the news a few days ago.
When he saw the spiraling night sky that looked like a whirlpool on the sea, Shen Cheng actually felt a sense of awe in his heart, as if... facing a natural disaster!
Not long after, the magnificent spectacle disappeared without any warning, which surprised Shen Cheng.
At the same time, the news was still using science to explain the reason why this wonder happened. A bunch of professional terms made Shen Cheng confused.
"This same phenomenon has occurred during previous Dragon Roar events, and it's not just in the Kunlun Mountains of the Western Territory; it's been seen all over the world." Dr. Xiaoliang closed the tablet and said calmly, "Don't listen to those so-called scientific explanations. They're purely to prevent panic. The truth is, the scientific community can't explain this phenomenon at all."
"Ah, this." Shen Cheng was a little dumbfounded.
"If you look closely, you will find that there are no clouds in that vortex at all, but the blizzard there is extremely large in scale. Compared with the surrounding areas of the Western Territory, the snow is very small. Therefore, we initially inferred that the vortex should have a very terrifying horizontal suction force. Once any abnormal movement occurs, it will probably cause unimaginable disasters to the entire Western Territory!" Finally, Dr. Xiaoliang said in a very serious tone.
"What do you mean by unusual movement?" Liusu asked.
It seems that this is the first time that Dr. Xiaoliang is telling them about this matter.
Dr. Xiaoliang pointed to the ceiling of his house and said without a trace of joking: "The sky will fall down!"
The next moment, the entire living room fell silent.
"When this phenomenon appears in other countries, it is often accompanied by natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis... But when it appears in the Kunlun Mountains in the western border, it not only lasts shorter than in other countries, but China has never suffered any natural disasters as a result."
Dr. Xiaoliang continued to explain, "I just thought of this when I heard the word 'guardian angel.' The fact that it would bring about natural disasters was something I stumbled upon while compiling data. There's some coincidence involved, so it's all just my personal speculation. But even if there's no connection, there's probably some clues related to this phenomenon in Kunlun Mountain... No, maybe those old people have some clues related to this phenomenon."
Shen Cheng and the others did not speak and continued to bow their heads in silence.
"That's all I have to say. When are you planning to leave?" Dr. Xiaoliang said to the few people after taking a deep breath.
"Let's go now." Shen Cheng suggested. After listening to Dr. Xiaoliang's words, he inexplicably felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry." Dr. Xiaoliang waved his hand. "You've come a long way, so I guess you haven't eaten yet? You should at least plan your work for tomorrow."
Only then did they react and looked out the window, only to find that it had already darkened without them noticing.
"What's for dinner?" Shen Cheng turned his head and asked.
Dr. Xiaoliang asked Liu Xiaobao to rummage through the living room, and finally found eight buckets of instant noodles: "Eat this."
Everyone: “…”
"Don't look down on instant noodles," Dr. Xiaoliang said seriously. "They're convenient and provide a quick boost of energy. I often ate them with researchers at the Institute of Biological Sciences."
Dong Yuanhua's mouth twitched slightly: "What do you usually eat?"
He is a martial artist, and unless it is necessary, he is usually averse to eating this kind of food. Otherwise, it is acceptable for him to eat raw cucumbers to satisfy his hunger.
"That's it. I order takeout occasionally, but there shouldn't be much takeout available during this time period. Do you want to take a look?" said Dr. Xiaoliang.
Shen Cheng couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he stood up and said, "Let me cook. Do you have any vegetables at home?"
Liusu also stood up, apparently wanting to help Shen Cheng.
Dr. Xiaoliang pointed to the refrigerator and said, "Our neighbors sent us some food yesterday. You can go check the refrigerator."
Shen Cheng nodded and opened the refrigerator.
Eggs, some radish and cabbage, half a cucumber, and a large piece of beef... Wait, beef?!
Why do you put beef in the refrigerator?
Shen Cheng’s face darkened, and he quickly took out the beef and smelled it.
Fortunately, it’s fresh and there’s no problem.
If Chen Cheng and the others had come two days later, this piece of beef would have probably gone moldy...
Liusu, Ji Yuanqiu, and Dong Yuanhua also came over. When Dong Yuanhua saw half a cucumber in the refrigerator, his eyes lit up and he quickly took it away, saying, "Give this to me."
Ji Yuanqiu picked up a radish and said, "Then I'll eat this."
The two of them didn't even have breakfast today, and their stomachs were already starving.
Looking at the two people who looked like refugees, Shen Cheng's mouth twitched. After picking out the dishes, he turned to Dr. Xiao Liang and asked, "Where is the kitchen?"
Dr. Xiaoliang pointed in a direction: "Over there, thank you for your hard work."
I just don't want to make myself suffer!
After muttering something inwardly, Chen Cheng and Liu Su walked into the kitchen.
A moment later, Feicui, wearing slippers, staggered out of the room. The first thing she did was open the refrigerator. The snake was slightly startled. "Where's the half cucumber I was going to have for a midnight snack?"
It can be seen how miserable the snake is here, as it has to break a cucumber into two meals to eat.
