085Xu
Qiao has watched many movies and TV series about dragons, especially this year she went to the cinema to watch a black dragon-themed monster movie.
Like most people in the base, Xu Qiao loves, admires and worships dragons, which are mythical spiritual bodies, even more than phoenixes.
However, when such a golden-red dragon with a body resembling a python and a mighty mountain really appeared in front of her, facing the slowly approaching dragon head with indistinguishable emotions, Xu Qiao could not control the fear in her heart.
She did not dare to look at the golden beast eyes, her eyes dodged, and she noticed that the dragon's mouth below was slightly open, and between the two rows of dense and sharp teeth, there was a faint golden-red flame about to spew out.
Xu Qiao felt cold all over and took another step back.
At this moment, the dragon disappeared, revealing the figure of Lin Kunshan opposite with a frown on his face.
Xu Qiao heard her own breathing again.
Qin Chi walked around the stunned Lin Shixin, stopped beside Xu Qiao, and said to Lin Kunshan: "It's very presumptuous to meet you in this way, but Xu Qiao dared to come to your invitation tonight because I accompanied her. As a friend, I can't abandon her halfway."
He maintained the courtesy that a junior should have, and Lin Kunshan's frown was relaxed again. He looked at Qin Chi again and smiled: "I said your name sounded familiar, it turns out to be that Qin Chi."
More than a decade ago, Qin Jiaxin in the Northeast Base awakened a little dragon. That was the first time Lin Kunshan heard the name "Qin Chi".
But then he never heard of Qin Chi's deeds again. The four major bases all have their own crises and tasks. The higher the level, the less time will be wasted on gossip. He is not an ordinary person who looks up to every S-level superpower.
This time, when the Southeast Base was transformed into a beast, Lin Kunshan was more concerned about the progress of Lu Chun's team and Xu Qiao, who successfully treated Zhou Cheng. He did not pay much attention to the "Second School Military School Teacher Qin Chi" or "Xu Qiao's teammate Qin Chi" mentioned by his grandson Lin Shixin. After all, this was not a rare name.
"Why did you think of coming to the Southeast Base, or staying for a long time?" Lin Kunshan walked back a few steps, looking at Qin Chi with a little more scrutiny. This time, Xu Qiao became a foil that he temporarily ignored.
Qin Chi smiled and said, "I have been serving in the army for the past ten years. My grandfather thought I needed a rest and forced me to take a vacation. Since it is a vacation, I thought about coming to a place where no one knows me and live an ordinary life for a while."
Lin Kunshan thought of something: "Before, the graduates of the Second School encountered an S-level snake beast in Jing City. Was it you who attacked?"
Qin Chi: "Yes, I don't want to alarm you and the elders, so I asked Principal Wei to cooperate with me in lying."
Xu Qiao, who lowered his eyes to listen to the two people talking, also remembered that day.
The strong man wearing S-class armor helped them kill hundreds of tiger-striped kites with a fire, and also thoughtfully left a pile of crystal cores that had been sorted out.
Now thinking about it, that was exactly what Qin Chi could do. If it were another S-class strong man, he would at most help kill the beasts and leave the crystal cores for them to pick up and dig by themselves.
Lin Kunshan finally looked at Xu Qiao again, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "I originally thought that family disgrace should not be made public, so I only wanted Xu Qiao to come alone. Since you are so worried about Xu Qiao's safety, let's go and take a look together."
He walked forward again.
Qin Chi looked at Xu Qiao.
As soon as their eyes met, Xu Qiao avoided him and just followed Lin Kunshan.
Qin Chi followed silently, and the only person left in the empty living room was Lin Shixin, who was still in shock.
Lin Kunshan took Xu Qiao and the others to the basement, activated a mechanism, and a secret passage appeared.
The passage was not straight, and after turning a few corners, an elevator appeared.
After entering the elevator, Lin Kunshan continued to ask Qin Chi about the development of the Northeast Base in recent years, and especially praised the newly developed mental power detector of the Northeast Base: "It is worthy of being the base with the largest population among the four bases. In the old era, your side was the center of scientific and technological innovation, and concentrated a large number of scientific research talents . After entering the new era, it is still far ahead in this regard.
" Qin Chi: "This is the credit of the four bases sharing their research and development results. Without the previous accumulation of other bases, it would be impossible for the scientific researchers of the Northeast Base to achieve technological breakthroughs so quickly."
Lin Kunshan smiled and said, "That's the truth. Although we are divided into four bases because of the alien beasts, we are essentially one family. We should help each other and fight against the alien beasts together."
Xu Qiao looked at the mirror-like elevator metal door opposite and secretly controlled his expression.
There have been rumors on the forum that the second marshal Lin Kunshan was very face-conscious when he was young, and he hated it most when others said that the Lin family opened a chicken farm in the old era. Even the Lin family's chefs banned the appearance of "chicken" related ingredients on the menu. Now, after just listening to Lin Kunshan and Qin Chi's chat for a while, Xu Qiao suddenly felt that those gossips might not be all rumors.
The elevator stopped. There were only two buttons on the key panel, up and down. The lower one was lit at this time, but the floor number was not displayed.
Outside the elevator was a corridor. When you walked to the end and turned a corner, there were more rooms on both sides of the corridor, with "lounge", "infirmary", "testing room" and other marks on the doors.
After turning two more corners along the corridor, a huge hole suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor in front, covered by a spherical protective shield.
Xu Qiao subconsciously looked at Qin Chi who was walking between her and Lin Kunshan.
Qin Chi's gaze was still gentle, as if telling her not to worry.
As the three of them approached the protective shield, the internal space of the protective shield that came into view became larger and larger. The diameter of the hemisphere exposed on the floor was more than 100 meters, and a man-made alloy giant tree stood in the middle.
Stopping at the edge of the protective shield, Xu Qiao looked down.
The bottom of the giant tree was a flat ground, and a fiery red phoenix was lying in a huge nest made of unknown materials.
Xu Qiao forgot to breathe again.
There were a lot of videos on the forum of the Lin family's phoenix spirit fighting with strange beasts. Xu Qiao was very familiar with the phoenix spirit, but the phoenix in front of her was clearly a flesh and blood body. It was more than 20 meters long, and its folded wings did not have the gorgeous luster of the spirit body's wings. There were even large pieces of feathers falling off, revealing the wing flesh that was unbearable.
If Xu Qiao was afraid of Qin Chi's sudden appearance of the fire dragon spirit, the phoenix below made her heart ache.
Phoenix, the guardian bird of the Southeast Base, is a favorite of the people in the base even if it is only A-level. How could it become so miserable?
Qin Chi did not have the same feelings for the Phoenix as the people in the Southeast Base. He observed for a moment and made a judgment: "Just like Zhou Cheng, it has completely transformed into a beast."
Xu Qiao looked at Lin Kunshan.
Lin Kunshan lowered his eyes and his sight fell on the Phoenix below: "Yes, this is my grandson Lin Wengui."
"The first time he transformed into a beast was fifteen years ago. At that time, he could still be controlled. He could turn back by knocking him out or anesthetizing him. Later, he suddenly couldn't recover. I was afraid of causing panic in the base, so I hid him here. It has been ten years. I have thought of countless ways, and his mother has never given up treating him. It was not until Zhou Cheng transformed into a beast that we realized that the problem was in his spiritual world."
Xu Qiao knew the main family members of the Lin family. Lin Wengui's mother was the second wife of Marshal Lin Lie, an A-level therapist, and her spiritual body was Baiji.
Thinking about the fact that Lin Wengui had been imprisoned here for ten years, Xu Qiao couldn't understand: "Why didn't you invite Professor Lu here earlier? Even if Professor Lu hadn't found a treatment for beast transformation back then, if it was handed over to her laboratory, in ten years, she might have developed a treatment plan."
Lin Kunshan pursed his lips, as if he was answering Xu Qiao, but also as if he was answering himself: "I don't want to leak the news. Zhou Cheng's beast transformation has caused such a big turmoil in the base. If it's Wengui, it will only cause greater panic among the people."
The Marshal's House in such a dignified base actually had a "mutation". So, would only one phoenix mutate, or would all the phoenixes?
Lin Kunshan couldn't take the risk.
"Although he is my grandson, I am responsible for the entire base."
Lin Kunshan suddenly looked at Xu Qiao with a firm gaze.
Xu Qiao had never been a marshal, and for a moment she could not understand the overall situation of a former marshal, but it was not important to consider this now. She only asked questions related to herself: "Now that the beast transformation has been made public, you can always ask Professor Lu to come over, or send him to Professor Lu's laboratory for treatment. Why do you want to find me alone?"
Lin Kunshan: "I concealed this matter for the stability of the base. Now that it is public, what will the public think of me? Will they think that I put the entire base in danger just to protect my grandson?"
Facing the two young people around him, Lin Kunshan said bitterly: "Consider me selfish. I have fought for the base for decades. I don't want to be misunderstood and denounced by the public in my later years. I asked you to come here because I hope to cure Wen Gui and let him return to the light of day, and continue to conceal this secret that has lasted for more than ten years, and preserve the reputation of this old man."
Lu Chun is very good, but he can't guarantee that Lu Chun will not reveal the secret. As the only S-level therapist in the entire base, it is not convenient for him to use tough means to ask the other party to keep it confidential.
This is Lin Kunshan's unspoken idea, but Xu Qiao can figure it out.
She is indeed too suitable. As a new healer without the protection of her family, would she dare to confront the Marshal's family and disclose the Marshal's family's secrets? Even if Qin Chi had not accompanied her here, Lin Kunshan might not even say those "heartfelt words" and would only force her to give her the task of treating Lin Wengui.
At this moment, Xu Qiao no longer had any respect for the old marshal.
But she is a healer, and the protective shield holds a poor patient who has been infected for more than ten years.
Xu Qiao suppressed her dissatisfaction with Lin Kunshan, looked down at the phoenix in the protective shield, and said objectively: "I cured Zhou Cheng, but Zhou Cheng has only been transformed into a beast for a few days, his condition is relatively mild, and he is quite cooperative with the treatment. Mr. Lin has been transformed into a beast for more than ten years, and I have no confidence in treating him."
Lin Kunshan: "I understand, you try to soothe its emotions through the lotus first, and I will be responsible for communicating with it."
Xu Qiao released the lotus spirit.
The lotus hid in her arms. Compared with the little fire scorpion it had treated before, the phoenix below was like a volcano.
As long as the crystal core is still there, the spirit body will not die even if it is injured, but the spirit body will feel pain. After the spirit body dissipates, the pain will pass on to the psychic.
Lotus herself does not want to feel pain, and she does not want Xu Qiao to feel pain.
Xu Qiao touched the petals and said, "Don't be afraid. Since Mr. Lin invited us here, he will definitely guarantee our safety."
Without waiting for Lin Kunshan to speak, Qin Chi said, "I will go down with you."
