"You mean..." Moran paused for a second, "Zerg?"
"Um."
Although they had never dealt with real Zerg, they had a deep understanding of Zerg mutants. The nightmare beast gave Fu Qin the feeling of a Zerg mutant.
Moran thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. I'm connecting with Zhou Xu now."
Not long after he finished speaking, Zhou Xu's image also appeared on the light screen.
He was wearing a white coat and rubber gloves, and it looked like he was just halfway through an experiment.
Zhou Xu frowned and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
After he finished speaking, Zhou Xu realized Fu Qin was also on the call. He was stunned for a moment, then his brows relaxed. "Why are you all here? Is it time to reminisce again?"
Fu Qin: "No, I want to ask you something about the Zerg."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows. He took off his gloves and found a seat in the laboratory. "Go ahead."
Fu Qin recounted the situation he encountered in the team competition.
Zhou Xu listened and tapped his fingers on the table. "Strong recovery ability doesn't mean it's affected by Zerg genes. It could also be due to other mutations. There are many factors that can affect regeneration ability, and currently there's no data proving that Zerg genes can infect Star Beasts."
"So I'm overthinking it?" Fu Qin asked.
"Not necessarily. We still need to test its body tissue or cell fluid to confirm it."
"It can't be tested. It's already turned to ashes."
"Then there's no way to check."
After hearing Zhou Xu's answer, Moran said, "Regardless of whether it's a Zerg genetic infection or not, the Nightmare Beast's abnormality is a fact. It couldn't have appeared on Planet E-123 out of thin air. Coupled with Bill Jones's reaction, I now suspect that planet is hiding some secret."
Zhou Xu understood immediately: "Do you think someone is conducting illegal experiments on Planet E-123?"
"It's very possible," Moran said, "that Jones's story doesn't hold water and that his reaction was too hasty, more like an attempt to destroy evidence."
"Is there usually anyone stationed on the E-123 planet?" Zhou Xu asked another question.
"No, it's not a resource planet. The reason it was initially developed was because Floy Military Academy wanted to use it as a training ground for its students. The facilities in the development zone are all for this purpose. Normally, no one goes there."
As Moran spoke, he pulled up the information about the E-123 planet and displayed it in front of the two of them.
Zhou Xu took a closer look and said, "It does look very suitable for secret experiments."
"Well, that's why I want Song Tingyun to send people from the Chengying Corps to sneak into Planet E-123 and investigate thoroughly."
Zhou Xu had no objection to this. "Then we have to hurry. If nothing happens, it's fine. But if there really is something, they've exposed such a big flaw, there's no guarantee they won't move the thing out."
At this time, Fu Qin, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, found that a piece of news popped up on the computer.
She glanced at the content, looked up, and said to the two, "It may be too late. The latest news is that a forest fire broke out in the undeveloped area of E-123, and the fire is still being put out."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu and Mo Lan immediately searched for the news.
After reading the entire news at a glance, the two looked at each other.
Just as the abnormality occurred in the competition area, a forest fire broke out on the E-123 planet. It was really too much of a coincidence.
Moran held his forehead and said, "It seems that there is really something wrong with Floy."
Being so eager to destroy the evidence, it is at least an illegal experiment.
But Moran originally thought that even if they wanted to destroy the evidence, they would transfer the data and test subjects out first. But judging from the speed, they were going to burn everything down?
That's cruel enough.
"I'll contact Song Tingyun now. No matter what, as long as it existed, there must be clues left behind." Moran said and hung up the video.
Only Fu Qin and Zhou Xu were left on the call.
"What do you think?" Fu Qin asked.
Zhou Xu pushed his glasses up. "It's basically certain that there are indeed secrets on Planet E-123, and the probability of illegal star beast experiments is very high. But if it's a Zerg genetic infection and mutation, the possibility is extremely small. After all, the former Zerg and the subsequent Zerg mutants have been wiped out, and there were no cases of mutants infecting other star beasts or humans back then. Whether it can infect other individuals is also unknown."
Fu Qin thought about it and felt that what Zhou Xu said made sense, so he felt relieved.
In addition, Song Tingyun will be the one to investigate later, and Fu Qin's nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Fu Qin heard a knock on the door.
When I opened it, I saw that it was a girl from the Mecha Manufacturing Department, and she was also a member of the team that entered the team competition.
"Is there something wrong?" Fu Qin asked.
"Teacher Fu, we are planning to have a party. Do you want to join us? Teacher Walter will be there too." The girl asked expectantly and nervously.
"Party?"
"Uh-huh."
"Why did you suddenly think of having a party?"
"It wasn't sudden," the girl explained. "In previous years, the Federal Military Academy always had a party on the way home after participating in the league. Although we didn't finish the league this time, it was our only chance for the fifth graders to participate in an off-campus competition. The regret of the competition has already occurred, and we don't want to lose this custom."
After the girl finished speaking, she saw Fu Qin was silent and thought she didn't want to go, so she quickly said: "If the teacher doesn't want to participate, it doesn't matter if you don't participate. There is no need to force yourself."
The girl actually misunderstood.
Fu Qin was not thinking about how to refuse, but was recalling the three league experiences he had participated in when he was in school. He didn't remember any parties at all.
She was so busy practicing at the time that she didn't relax even after the competition and stayed in the practice room the whole day.
Thinking about it carefully, Moran did seem to have mentioned the party to her once, but she seemed to have automatically ignored it at that time?
And speaking of which, it seems that Fu Qin has never attended a party since he was a child.
If someone had invited her before, she would definitely have refused, but now——
"No need to force it. What time does it start?"
The girl had prepared herself for rejection, but she didn't expect Fu Qin to agree.
Her eyes lit up, as if she was afraid that Fu Qin would change his mind at the last minute. She spoke very quickly, "Seven o'clock in the evening! In the restaurant on the first floor. That's settled, see you later, Teacher Fu!"
After listening to this, Fu Qin nodded and said, "Okay, see you later."
Seven o'clock in the evening.
Fu Qin appeared in the restaurant on time.
The place had been transformed into a party scene, with streamers draped across the walls and colorful balloons decorating the ceiling. The once neatly arranged dining tables had been moved to the walls, piled high with drinks and desserts. The empty space in the middle had been transformed into a dance floor.
At this moment, lively rock music was playing in the room, and a group of people were dancing wildly to the rhythm.
The dim light combined with the colorful neon lights gave Fu Qin the illusion of entering a red-light district.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Qin regretted it.
Her hand was still on the door handle, and she wanted to back out the next second.
But unfortunately, she was discovered by several sharp-eyed students as soon as she came in.
"Teacher Fu is here!"
"Ah, it's Teacher Fu!"
"Teacher Fu, come on! Let's have fun together!"
This group of students had all drunk some wine, and unlike the usual way they looked scared to death when they saw Fu Qin, they were now drunk and bolder. One student even walked up to Fu Qin, put his hand on his shoulder, and wanted to lead him to the dance floor.
Compared with this tall and strong student, Fu Qin looked very small, weak, pitiful and helpless.
But in fact, the student couldn't push the quilt at all.
Fu Qin stood there motionless as a mountain.
She looked up at the student and said, "Let go."
He was still drunk but his hands loosened.
The student's heart was filled with alarm, "Teacher, if you don't go, I will go."
After saying that, he slipped away immediately.
Fu Qin then walked inside.
She did not enter the dance floor, but turned and came to the dessert area on the side, intending to settle down there.
After Fuqin finished a piece of chocolate cake, a donut, two egg tarts, and four puffs, Walter also came.
He saw Fu Qin sitting in the corner from a distance, so he walked over and asked, "Why are you just sitting here? Aren't you going to dance?"
"No." Fu Qin refused decisively and stuffed another puff into his mouth.
"Okay, I'll go then." Walter didn't force it, and walked towards the dance floor by himself.
Fu Qin was stunned when he saw the middle-aged man blending into the crowd of students and swaying with them. He seemed to be even more skilled than many of the students.
However, Fu Qin only took a few more glances, and soon her attention was attracted by the food on the table.
If you eat too much dessert, you will feel a little sick of it.
Fu Qin's gaze turned to the golden liquid in the goblet beside him, which looked like some kind of drink.
She picked it up, took a sip, and found it tasted good, so she drank it all in one gulp.
The sweet fragrance spread on the tip of the tongue, and Fu Qin felt a little intoxicated. After drinking several cups in a row, he felt as if his whole body was about to float up, and was extremely light.
She narrowed her eyes, swaying gently with the music. Just as she was about to reach for the goblet again, Bai Hao, who had been silent all this time, spoke out in her mind: "General, you are drunk."
"Hmm?" Fu Qin's reaction was a little slow. She asked directly, "What do you mean you're drunk?"
"You're drunk."
Fu Qin was puzzled: "How can I get drunk after drinking a drink?"
"What you drank wasn't a drink, it was wine."
"Really?" Fu Qin picked up another cup, looked around, and suddenly realized: "So it's wine?"
Seeing Fu Qin holding a goblet, a few high-spirited students raised their own glasses and shouted to him, "Cheers, Teacher Fu!"
Fu Qin imitated them and raised his glass, "Cheers!"
After drinking another glass of wine, Fu Qin lay on the table with heavy eyelids.
Half asleep and half awake, I didn't know who started the dance, but a group of people on the dance floor started stepping on balloons.
The crackling sound drowned out the music and resounded throughout the venue.
Fu Qin was woken up by the noise.
She raised her head, and her naturally curly black hair stood up a little messily.
Fu Qin frowned and said, "It's so noisy."
As she finished her words, the remaining balloons in the venue exploded at once.
After a loud bang, the whole audience fell silent. Everyone continued to step on the balloons, their expressions dazed, and they were mostly sober.
Only the speakers were still playing rock music conscientiously.
Under everyone's dull gaze, Fu Qin, who finally found some peace, lay back down and soon fell asleep.
Seeing that Fu Qin had stopped moving, the students looked at each other, their pupils trembling, but they still didn't dare to say a word.
Who said Teacher Fu has no mental strength?!
They cried silently in their hearts.
Judging from their performance just now, their practical class teacher not only has mental strength, but is also very strong!
