Now his position belongs to the Academy of Sciences, and Professor Xie is the president of the Academy of Sciences, so it would be best to ask him for leave.

"One month, at least? What are you going to do?" Professor Xie and Lin Mo have become more familiar with each other through their contact during this period, so there is no need to hide anything when talking, and he can just ask whatever he wants to ask.

The same goes for Lin Mo.

"Actually, I'm going to investigate a special contaminated area." Lin Mo said seriously. The Glutton is a giant ship, so it's not wrong to say it's a special contaminated area.

"Oh?" Professor Xie was obviously very interested: "Tell me in detail."

Lin Mo briefly explained the situation of the Glutton.

"The Gluttony Curse, right? Lin Nan told me about it when he came back last time. According to what you said, that mysterious ship should be the source of the Gluttony Curse. None of the Sequence 1 curses are ordinary."

"Okay, go ahead. But this is not a leave, it's a mission assigned by the Academy. After all, you don't get paid if you take a leave, but if you go on a mission, not only will you get a salary and a travel allowance, but you will also get a pension if you die accidentally. It's a great deal."

Lin Mo thought about it and it made sense. He was the one who asked a question.

"If I die in the line of duty, who will receive the pension?"

Lin Mo wanted to clarify this question.

"Your family and relatives. If you have no relatives, confiscate their property!" Professor Xie spread his hands.

Lin Mo made a few "Pooh" sounds.

"Don't even think about it."

Professor Xie on the other side smiled and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder: "There are too many unknown things in the nightmare world for humans. If you need help, you can tell me. I still have some cursed objects in my hand. If you need them, you can add them to your yellow paper."

Lin Mo did not tell Professor Xie about the yellow paper.

Then the fact that he had the yellow paper could only have been told by Lin Nan.

However, this also indirectly shows that Lin Nan has absolute trust in Professor Xie.

Judging from Lin Mo's own interactions with Professor Xie, the other party is indeed a trustworthy person.

Lin Mo didn't hesitate and looked at the list of cursed objects in Professor Xie's hand. It turned out that many of them were useless. At least to Lin Mo, they were of little significance.

As for manpower, Lin Mo did not apply for it.

After all, he was going with the butcher this time, and it would be inconvenient for others to follow.

The result was that what was originally a request for leave turned into a business trip.

Professor Xie is right. If you can get paid, why not? Who can resist money?

When the time comes, I will write a report on the results of the investigation, and maybe I can get some credit. In addition, Professor Xie said that if there is a chance, he would like to bring back the source of the gluttony curse and study it.

Lin Mo was a little hesitant about this matter, because when Nie Hong gave him the gluttony curse, she also gave him the source of the curse.

blood.

The source of the gluttony curse is now in Lin Mo's blood.

But there is no rush for this matter.

It’s not too late to give it to Professor Xie when I come back.

Everything here has been arranged.

After Lin Mo returned to the real world, he first called Fatty and asked about the situation of Lvyuan Community and their "Happy Life Safety Consulting Company".

The fat man was very excited and said that everything was under control, especially the company's business, which was booming. Yu Lele and his two employees were really capable, good at their work, and willing to work hard, and were worthy of training.

"Brother Lin, I have transferred one million to your card. This is your salary as the chairman of the board. You will receive it every month in the future." After the fat man became rich, he straightened his back and spoke with confidence.

"Okay, then I won't go back for the time being. I'm about to go out. If you run into trouble and can't contact me, go find Dandan's mom."

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, I know this. By the way, I haven't contacted Maomao for a while, and I can't get through on the phone. Do you know what's going on?"

Lin Mo actually knew something about cats.

He already has a very high level of authority in the General Administration.

I heard that Maomao participated in a special training program directly after the training camp, mainly because she performed so well. It is said that she is the strongest among the students of that period.

The General Administration is training her as an elite.

He is now receiving special training in a secret base.

Lin Mo knew that he would not be able to see him this time, but he would be able to see him when he returned from the Glutton.

Calculating the time, Lin Mo is actually quite wealthy now, as there are still several days before the date agreed with the butcher. However, because this matter is more important, Lin Mo would rather hurry up and go to the Whale Swallowing City early to wait. In this way, if the Glutton arrives early, he will be able to catch it.

Because he had plenty of time, Lin Mo took the high-speed rail.

It is said that at this stage, there are very few countries that can maintain social stability and whose public transportation systems are still functioning.

Everyone is preparing for the coming nightmare.

Naturally, at times like this, not many people go out to travel. In the past, the carriages were always full, but now, at most, they are only one-third full.

There are advantages to having fewer people. One is quietness, the other is spaciousness.

Basically everyone sits in a row, which is very cool.

Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Lin Mo finally relaxed completely.

He ordered food and drinks for himself. He had plenty of money now anyway. On the small table in front of him was his newly bought laptop, which had a very fast internet connection.

He is watching the news.

In the past, Lin Mo obtained information from the outside world mainly through the Internet and the elderly in the community. Later, after joining the General Administration, the General Administration would send an electronic "internal publication" to their mailbox every day, which they could check at any time.

But there are fewer cases of visiting forums and blogs.

Mainly because I don’t have time.

The news in the past were basically some boring and bloody gossip, such as someone got arrested for leaking information, so-and-so cheated and got divorced, or that person changed his girlfriend or that person changed his boyfriend.

Very boring.

This kind of news is basically invisible now.

Because no one cares about this kind of thing anymore. What everyone cares about is which city has started to build a safe zone, or that the security bureau has issued a new safety avoidance manual, or that a pollution source has been discovered somewhere and has been closed off.

The best-selling items on e-commerce platforms are no longer certain mobile phones or cosmetics, but smart nightmare monitoring and electric shock watches.

It is said that one can judge whether a person is in a nightmare by the pulse. If one finds that the heartbeat is accelerated, a safe electric shock can be given directly to ensure that the person wakes up immediately.

Lin Mo took a look and saw that the monthly sales of this thing was over one million, and it was just one merchant.

The comments below are interesting.

They all say it works.

Wearing this watch and getting a little nervous is like electrotherapy.

But everyone is very happy because it shows that it is effective.

In the past, showing off wealth meant showing off luxury homes, luxury cars and famous watches.

Nowadays, people show off their wealth by showing off their ‘capsule houses’, ‘commuter tickets’ and ‘electric shock watches’.

Because capsule houses are only available in safe zones.

Some people say that the price of a capsule house, which is about the same size as a coffin, has reached millions or even tens of millions. Of course, this refers to the black market price.

On the surface, places in the safe zone cannot be bought and sold.

Therefore, the markers of wealth are different in different eras.

It is said that when dating a girlfriend now, people no longer ask for a house or a car, but a place in a safe zone.

It was a great way to kill time along the way.

It was six hours later when we arrived at the Whale City Station.

After leaving the station, Lin Mo took a taxi and found a big hotel near "Tan Street" to stay in.

This place is very close to the estuary, which means it is also close to the Nightmare Pier where the Glutton is docked.

For the next period of time, Lin Mo would go to Nightmare Pier every day.

Whale Swallowing City is indeed an international metropolis. Even at this time, the city is quite bustling.

Lin Mo saw the whale-swallowing safe zone that was about to be completed.

It is also very large in scale. The outer wall has almost been built, covering the core area of ​​Whale Swallowing City. It looks like a circle of city walls surrounding a large urban area.
