Chapter 19

    The official was choked before, but he was more sincere: "What time did Commander Tian think it is now?" What communication status and traffic status? People are dead here, and we don't want to be mourned. It will take a few months to get news from there, right? Then a second group will be sent over, plus the preliminary preparations, it will take a month or so to arrive. It's been half a year since we've come and gone, and the serum should be researched. Don't talk about the devils of the M country, we won't be afraid of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, anyway, the medicine is in our hands..."

    "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Ha," Tian Yi sneered, and began to speak out when he was excited, "What do you think the inner serum is, does your old lady's foot-washing water make a pot in ten minutes? It’s still half a year, and it’s not bad to be able to study it in ten and a half years…”

    After arguing for half an hour, the chiefs gradually extinguished the fire.

    A military truck, only three people can sit in the narrow cab, Feng Yan is driving, Xie Qing is sitting in the middle to doze off, Ling Jiu is sitting by the door on the right, one of them is turned over in his hand. Brochure, mission summary.

    Yesterday, the base received a distress message from a scientific research delegation in country M, saying that it had entered the Bohai Sea, but unfortunately encountered an attack by infected seabirds. After the group, there was not much ammunition and fuel left, and more than half of the casualties were lost. Reluctantly went forward for a few hundred nautical miles, and the fuel ran out, but unfortunately encountered a group of zombie sharks. The capital base of country Z asked for help.

    Of course, the first party was obliged to hold a high-level summit meeting to discuss ways, and finally decided to form a death squad of 300 people, and drove to the coastal city of Y in the Bohai Sea. Friends of the country M, strive to minimize losses in all aspects.

    Of course, considering the danger of this mission, the organization decided to appoint Ling Jiu as the leader and Feng Yan as the deputy, and immediately set off with the three hundred elites.

    As scientific researchers, Xiao Lan and Xie Qing of course accompanied them all the way, because it is reported that the people of M have sent so many people to China with great fanfare this time to jointly study and discuss the anti-zombie virus serum.

    Xiao Lan was also accompanied by two unremarkable young people, a man and a woman, both of whom were indifferent to Ling Jiu's, but Ling Jiu knew that most of them were Xiao Lan before. The said No. 1 experimental body used this mission to test the water.

    Ling Jiu's attitude towards this task was optional. Anyway, when he was idle at the base, he was also idle. In addition to exercising his physical fitness every day, he followed the army to the surrounding cities and towns to fight zombies. It was really boring. If you have the opportunity to walk around, you can still see the sea, so why not agree?

    Zhou Mingyang was still in a depressed state, but he didn't follow him this time.

    After nearly a day of car dealership, the death squad finally arrived in Y City. After a brief rest at the small base, Ling Jiu led the team to a warship.

Naval Battle

    The team of 300 people was divided into ten groups. Each group had a soldier with the rank of captain as the team leader, who was directly responsible to Ling Jiu. But rather than saying that Ling Jiu led the team, it would be better to say that Feng Yan was working hard to take on the responsibility of leading the team and taking charge of all administrative affairs; Xie Qing was in charge of logistics and medical care. With the two No. 1 bodies, they plunged into the laboratory, and they never came out, and the meals were sent to them to eat.

    Ling Jiu is actually more like a spiritual symbol. The little warriors are not very demanding. As long as she can see her carrying tons of baggage on the deck for morning exercises every day, she will feel at ease.

    Since it may be necessary to let the personnel from the M country board, this time a medium-sized destroyer was sent, named "Evolution", with 554 people, and the entire 300-person death squad was more than enough to operate on it. However, considering the danger of this mission, the warship is still equipped with anti-ship missile launchers and ship-to-air missile launchers, as well as a considerable number of torpedoes.

    The speed of the "Evolution" was 34 knots. After sailing at full speed for about 12 hours, the sun had already started to set.

    Ling Jiu, Feng Yan, Xie Qing, and the captain of the "Evolution" were standing on the bridge, studying the radar.

    "To the northeast, there is still a distance of 76 nautical miles." Feng Yan reached out and tapped a red dot on the screen at 1 o'clock, "Should we rush over now or wait for tomorrow?"

    "Of course we will wait for tomorrow," Ling Jiu said blankly. The expression, "Soldiers and warships need to rest, and it is not suitable to fight at night." A

    certain colonel nodded in agreement, raised his eyelids to look at Ling Jiu's blank face, and subconsciously took a step to the side, thinking about this half-robot-like creature in his heart. There is always fear.

    Xie Qing noticed his movements, his expression darkened, and then he glared at him fiercely.

    "Okay... Then why don't we have dinner later and gather each team leader for a meeting? Discuss the specific rescue procedure for tomorrow." Feng Yan asked.

    "It's not necessary." Ling Jiu said simply.

    "Ah? For Mao?"

    "We are not familiar with naval warfare, and even more unfamiliar with the infected creatures in the sea. The special forces are just ordinary people, not modified bodies. Underwater combat effectiveness will be discounted, and rushing into the water will only cause unnecessary casualties. Ling Jiu raised her eyebrows and explained patiently, "The sharks must gather around the opponent's ship. If they use torpedoes, they will also hurt the opponent's personnel, and the missiles will not work."

    "Ah? What should I do?" Feng Yan was dumbfounded. , "Then... don't we just go home, and then lie about the military situation and say that the old M are all dead and too late to save?"

    Ling Jiu closed his eyes, feeling that he had a lot of words today, so he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

    Xie Qing hated the iron and kicked Feng Yan: "You two, you! You don't have to fight at all, can you just bring those foreigners onto our ship, anyway, our place is so big!"

    Feng Yanzhang He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

    Silent all night. At 5:30 in the morning the next day, all the officers and men of the "Evolution" got up on time. After breakfast, the warship lifted anchor and set off at 6:00.

    Although the plan to skip the battle and directly pick up the ship has been basically made, Ling Jiu still asked a certain captain to call the team leaders for a small meeting, emphasizing that this is only a preliminary plan, and everything depends on the situation.

    "It can't be ruled out that if there is some kind of zombie or sea monster, everyone will still have to fight." Feng Yan watched the seriousness and restraint of the soldiers in front of Ling Jiu, and made a lively haha.

    then……

    When all 203 M people boarded the ship, everything was ready and they were about to return. Seeing that the mission was about to be completed safely, when the ship was suddenly hit hard, Xie Qing couldn't bear to see Ling Jiu's face suddenly sinking. Zhu stomped on Feng Yan hard: "I'll step on your crow's mouth!"

    "Don't be noisy." Ling Jiu frowned.

    Although this "Evolution" is only a medium-sized destroyer, its length is also nearly 120 meters, and its full-load displacement has reached the level of 10,000 tons. , they almost lost their footing on the deck, and it is conceivable how big the underwater thing is.

    "Oh God! What the hell is that?" Colonel Jason Grant, the top officer of the scientific research team of the M country, called out at that time. The group of soldiers from the M country behind him were okay. They stood firm by supporting each other, but those weak The researchers in the 1980s were not so lucky. Dozens of people slumped in a mess, and they were busy protecting those fragile experimental utensils and medicines. The scene suddenly became a bit chaotic.

    Xie Qing almost sat on the ground, hurriedly hugged the side of the boat, and Feng Yan even drew the gun directly. Ling Jiu held onto the side of the boat with both hands, looking at the huge shadow that was gradually rising underwater, calculating silently in her heart.

    The collision just now is enough to explain a lot of problems. The "Evolution" is nearly 120 meters long, which is not so big among the known creatures on earth. In this case, this thing can shake the warship, which means that it has a very large weight, at least it should be more than 100 times the weight of the warship.

    Could it be that this guy is...

    "Blue Whale." Xiao Lan said deadly, the violent vibration just now finally shocked him out of the laboratory, and of course two No. 1 bodies followed closely behind him.

    "Blue whale?!" Xie Qing was shocked, "Isn't that something only available in the Antarctic and North Atlantic? I never heard that there are also offshore waters in the Celestial Dynasty!"

    Xiao Lan sneered: "No one knows the habits of infected creatures. Since there can be zombie sharks, why can't there be zombie blue whales?"

    "Zombie, zombie whale..." Xie Qing stammered.

    Because of the Chinese they had been talking in, the foreigners next to them were dumbfounded. Colonel Grant was at a loss, and the translator didn't know where he had gone. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw the short-haired woman with a cold face and a fierce look. She took off her jacket, followed by jeans and shoes, and all she had left was a pair of panties and a short sports bra.

    The audience was silent for a moment...

    The soldiers of Z country were familiar with Ling Jiu's temperament, and they didn't turn their eyes away, but the soldiers of M country were a little excited. It's still worth seeing...

    Ling Jiu didn't change his face, and said calmly: "This whale is about to float up to take a breath. I don't want to be drenched in zombie blood, so I quickly gathered everyone back to the cabin." At the end, he added: " Translate for them." After speaking, he took a deep breath and jumped into the sea without any equipment.

    Feng Yan hurriedly called the two countries back to the cabin, Xie Qing grabbed a handful of Ling Jiu but didn't catch it, turned her head and shot at Xiao Lan: "That's a blue whale! You just let her go down like this? What weapon? Not at all?"

    Xiao Lan pushed on his glasses: "She is the best weapon on earth."

    How much lung capacity can she take to take a deep breath with the transformed body of No. 1?

    Ling Jiu was too lazy to count, she only knew that her lungs were full of air at the moment, if it was purely about the duration of breath holding, she would dare to compare even the big guy in front of her.

    But now is not the time to think about it. She needs to make a quick decision, preferably within five minutes.

    Those people from country M should already know the existence of her No. 1 body that is immune to the virus, but they don't necessarily know about the two No. 1 bodies. Since this is the case, it is better to let her do it alone. Of course, her strength cannot be revealed all at once. .

    Before she knew it, she was a little different from the violent maniac who didn't understand a bit of twists and turns and only knew that fists were above everything else.

    It may be due to the existence of infected marine life, the sea water is a little turbid and black, but this does not affect Ling Jiu's sight. The shark group that surrounded the ships of country M had long since dispersed, and the place where Ling Jiu entered the water was right in the middle of the belly of the blue whale.

    This giant ocean beast with a length of more than 30 meters, due to the infection of the zombie virus, has already rotted to the bone, with strands of soft tissue and corrupted flesh floating in the sea water with black bloodshots, Ling Jiu is like a small in front of it. Like ants.

    The blue whale was originally docile, but after the infection, only the hungry predatory instinct was left. It slammed into the "Evolution" again, then flicked its tail, turned around and swam to the bottom of the boat, as if it wanted to overturn it directly from the bottom. warship. The agitated huge current directly rushed Ling Jiu in the other direction.

    Ling Jiu didn't resist, and drifted under the chin of the zombie whale. She stabilized her body, pinched the knuckles of her hands in the water, and kicked a dead shark's body with the soles of her feet. Rush to the whale's chin, with a sound of waves, the whole person has rushed into the whale's huge head, and the momentum is strong, until it is completely wrapped by the gray thick and soft brain tissue.

    Feeling the cold and smooth touch of the brains brushing against his lips, Ling Jiu pouted his lips in disgust, grabbed a ball of brain with both hands, and exerted force on his arms, especially his right arm. The explosive force of the artificial conductive rubber muscles was exceptionally fast. It output a huge amount of energy, tearing it apart violently with the poor brain.

    The blue whale's huge body suddenly paused, and then let out a long and terrifying wailing. With this howl, its huge head also cracked from the middle, and the already crumbled skull was directly shattered by a single blow. Dropped, the gray-black viscous and disgusting brain tissue quickly emerged from the cranial cavity and floated all over the world.

    Threads and strands of gray brains floated to the surface, and within a few nautical miles around, it looked like a giant garbage dump, and a strong rancid stench permeated instantly.

    Ling Jiu drilled out of the whale's head, flipped his right forearm and looked at the LCD screen, um, it took two minutes and nineteen seconds, which is not bad.

    She spat out a bunch of blisters, intending to float up, but suddenly glanced at the cracked skull cavity of the slowly sinking zombie whale... It seemed that something was emitting a faint milky white light.

    Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, dived down, and returned to the skull cavity. The small white light had disappeared, and was replaced by... a fist-sized mass of pink soft flesh.

    Yes, a very pure flesh pink, the kind of color that can never be seen on the body of an infected creature, but it appeared deep in the brain of this dead zombie whale. This small lump of flesh seemed to be shaking slightly, as if it was alive, and the lovely pink color seemed to be emitting a faint light, giving people the feeling of a tiny but vigorous life.

    Ling Jiu narrowed his eyes, reached over without hesitation, and dug out the meat.

Faith

    Ling Jiu surfaced, took a breath of fresh air, stretched out his right hand, and as soon as he thought, the mechanical arm appeared, and several vacuum suction cups appeared on the five fingertips and palm, and the whole person was like a gecko attached to the hull's outer panel. Climbing up very swiftly.

    Over the side of the boat, jump on the deck. Feng Yan and others, including Colonel Grant and other senior officials of Country M, had seen everything on the bridge, and when they saw Ling Jiu coming back, they hurried out to greet him.

    Due to the presence of foreign friends, Xie Qing restrained her habit of throwing herself at the queen, but took a large bath towel and greeted Ling Jiu with her head covered, while babbling: "Ah Jiu, you are so careless because you want to scare you. How can we quickly wipe the water to be careful of catching a cold..."

    Feng Yan and a certain colonel had long been surprised by Ling Jiu's amazing deeds, but Colonel Grant and another handsome blond and blue-eyed soldier started to make a fuss, and Grant was always beside him Exclaimed God, is this Oriental girl a superman, the handsome guy Dabing has already reached out to touch Ling Jiu's arm.

    Ling Jiu obeyed and asked Xie Qing to put a bath towel on her, while raising her eyes expressionlessly, the dead water-like gaze forced the handsome guy's hand back. She no longer paid attention to the two M people, turned her head and asked Feng Yan, "Where's Xiao Lan?"

    Feng Yan was a little unhappy about Ling Jiu's behavior of looking for Xiao Lan as soon as she came back from a fight, but she didn't say anything, just said, "You come back. Shui, he went back to the laboratory, I don't know what he was messing with."

    Ling Jiu nodded briefly: "Yeah. Let's lift anchor and sail back, the whale is dead." Then he strode off the bridge and walked down the stairs to the cabin.

    Xiao Lan's laboratory is in the third cabin, the lowest position, but also the quietest. Ling Jiu came to the door of the laboratory, knocked on the door, and waited for two minutes before footsteps came, and someone came to open the door.

    It was the male body number 1 who opened the door. Ling Jiu glanced at him casually and saw the guy's calm and sullen face.

    A faint sense of disobedience suddenly crossed Ling Jiu's heart, and the speed was so fast that she almost didn't catch it.

    She couldn't help but raised her eyes and looked at the No. 1 body again, but what she saw was still a dull expression.

    Ling Jiu frowned. She has never been the type to be influenced by sudden emotions, so she quickly forgot the feeling just now, went directly to the inner door, pushed open the door and walked in.

    Xiao Lan was fiddling with his beakers and test tubes and various reagents, while the female body 1 sat beside him in a daze. Ling Jiu walked over directly and handed over the pink meat ball in his hand: "I think you might be interested in this." The

    meat ball was out of the water, but it looked even more pink and tender, like a newborn baby in Ling Jiu The palm of his hand trembled slightly, and under the sunlight, it felt a bit crystal clear, as beautiful as an agate.

    Xiao Lan was really attracted. He carefully took the meatball and put it into a clean large beaker. While pouring physiological saline into it, he asked, "What is this? Where did it come from?"

    "The blue whale's brain was dug out. Yes." Ling Jiu had no interest in Xiao Lan's research, so he left the laboratory after saying this.

    After returning to his cabin to change his clothes, Ling Jiu surprisingly didn't want to exercise, but walked up to the deck and leaned on the side of the boat in a daze.

    The weather was fine, the sun was clear, and it shone on the endless blue sea, with a hint of salty sea breeze blowing, messing up her short hair. However, Ling Jiu has never been someone who can appreciate the scenery, so she was a little anxious in her heart.

    Since waking up, she has possessed a body and ability that surpasses ordinary people, and she has not felt any special joy because of her personality. In the days before she arrived in the capital, all she had been diligently seeking was to relieve the hidden dangers of her body. What about after arriving in the capital? After removing the danger? She arranges physical exercises with amazing loads for herself every day. She participates in every search and rescue operation organized by the army and is the main force. She eats and sleeps every day to supplement her physical strength. She obediently cooperates with Xiao Lan for blood examination once a week...

    She asked herself, and then what?

    Xiao Lan devoted herself to researching antidote. Although Xie Qing was offline, she always tried her best to assist Xiao Lan. Feng Yan was more and more valued by Tian Yi and other military leaders. Her promotion was imminent, and even Zhou Mingyang was exercising hard every day. Studying, it is said to be "a follower worthy of Xiaojiu"...

    It seems that everyone has their own goals.

    Ling Jiu felt that his thinking had reached a dead end, and the movements under his hand could not help but tighten, only to hear a click, the ship's side was broken.

    She looked at the twisted steel pipe in her hand, and suddenly raised her hand and threw it out. The steel pipe crossed the sea in a parabola and flew to a distance beyond the naked eye.

    Although she has the most indestructible body in the world, her heart is actually no different from the previous person who could die at any time.

    Because—she didn't know what she was living for.

    "Excuse me?"

    The chip in his brain automatically translated the sentence from English into Chinese, which also allowed Ling Jiu to speak English fluently. She glanced at it and saw that it was the fussing M-country soldier who was standing next to Colonel Grant just now and wanted to touch her arm, with friendly curiosity in her blue eyes, and her blonde hair shining brightly in the sun.

    However, Ling Jiu was indifferent to these. She looked away coldly and asked in English, "Is something wrong?"

    The soldier of M country looked excited: "Hello, Miss Ling, it's Miss Ling, right? Ahaha, my name is Sean Jefferson, lieutenant colonel. You killed that big monster just now? Oh my God, it's so powerful. Oh, wait, God, what's going on with this boat, why is it broken? Is this your daily exercise session, Miss Ling? OMG can't believe it..." While saying this, he tried it himself. On the side of the boat, his face turned into a pig's liver and he didn't break half of it.

    Ling Jiu kept his face beside him with a sullen face. Seeing that Sean had stopped, he said, "It's okay, I'll go." After that, he turned around and left.

    Sean was nothing at all, but after the battle just now, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, the story of Ling Jiu's KO of a zombie blue whale has spread throughout the entire M country barracks, a boy from M country with strong hormone secretion. They quickly introduced Ling Jiu as an idol, but no one dared to strike up a conversation with you. In the end, the good-natured officer Sean, who has always been bullied by his soldiers, was elected by everyone to complete the challenging task of approaching Ling Jiu.

    The mission requirements are not simple: stay by Ling Jiu's side for at least half an hour, if not, you will be punished to wear bunny clothes and then kiss Colonel Grant... ——In

    fact, this is not the point, the point is among the several school-level officers. , only Sean is less than thirty years old, and he is still single!

    "Hey, wait, don't go, Miss Ling!" Thinking of the terrible consequences of not completing the task, Sean felt terrified, so he quickly reached out to stop it, but just as his finger touched Ling Jiu's shoulder, he felt that his whole body was flying. After a while, the sky smashed heavily on the deck, and there was a flurry of gold stars in front of him.

    "What's the matter?" Ling Jiu looked down at the man lying on the ground coldly, and dared to reach out from behind her when she was in a bad mood, but it was still light when she was thrown over her shoulder.

    "Ah, that, hehehe..." Sean grinned and got up, straightened his military uniform, and smirked, "What was Miss Ling thinking just now? It seems that she is in a bad mood..."

    Ling Jiu was a little impatient, so he left behind "It has nothing to do with you" and strode past him and walked towards the bridge.

    Before taking a step, the M country people reached out again. Ling Jiu tutted and slammed over his shoulder to greet him again. This time, he ignored it, stepped over the man's body twisting on the deck, and continued to walk forward.

    However... just like before, before he took two steps, he heard a carp from the M country behind him jumping up, and his hand stretched out again.

    Ling Jiu frowned fiercely, and then fell over his shoulder.

    ...

    reach out and fall.

    Reach out and fall.

    Reach out and keep falling.

    ...

    So, after taking seven over-the-shoulder falls, even the rough-skinned Sean couldn't get up, feeling like his waist was about to break, lying on the deck and groaning.

    Ling Jiu narrowed his eyes, knelt down on one knee, put one hand on Sean's throat, and said coldly, "What's your purpose? Once again, I can break your neck."

    ... I can say Is it because I don't want to kiss the big beard of my immediate boss... Sean is full of grief, but his face turns into a flower with a pained smile: "Well, Miss Ling seems to be in a bad mood, I'm thinking maybe Let you fall a few times and let out your breath, that's fine..."

    Ling Jiu raised her eyebrows, moved her hands away and stood up, coldly watching Xiao En get up by himself, leaning against the side of the boat, there was no air, and suddenly he asked: "What are you living for?"

    Sean was stunned, and looked at Ling Jiu with his mouth open, completely unaware of why the topic suddenly became so profound.

    "I was thinking about this just now," Ling Jiu said honestly, "that's why I'm in a bad mood."

    Sean blinked, his mouth twitched: "Ahaha, Miss Ling, you really... ah, it's not ordinary. People."

    Ling Jiu glared at him, trying to say that I was not an ordinary person.

    Sean understood this look as a question, so he continued: "This is the end of the world that only exists in movies. Ordinary people will be thankful as long as they survive, okay? Only Miss Ling can still think about this kind of leisurely. Philosophical question."

    Ling Jiu became more and more puzzled: "Ordinary people only want to survive? Then why do ordinary people live?"

    Sean was stunned for a long time, suddenly seemed to remember something, put away his joking expression, and sighed Tone: "Maybe... just live to survive."

    Live only to survive?

    Ling Jiu stayed for a while, and suddenly... felt, ah, like, I understood something.

    She nodded, raised her hand suddenly, and patted the soldier of M country on the shoulder, "Is it really all right to leave the fuel there?"

    "Huh?" Sean felt that he was going crazy by Ling Jiu's logic. .

    "Your ship is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser with a cruising range of 6,000 nautical miles at 20 knots. Even at 30 knots, the cruising range is as much as 3,300 nautical miles. From San Francisco to Bohai Bay, fully loaded with fuel It's absolutely impossible to run out of words, although I don't know what the purpose of you lying about the fuel situation is, but—" Ling Jiu raised her face, expressionless, "For the sake of helping me answer my doubts to some extent just now. , I will no longer pursue it. But if I find out that you have an attempt to endanger us... people are no harder to kill than infected blue whales."

    After saying this, Ling Jiu walked away in a leisurely pace, leaving behind Sean was terrified on the spot by himself.

    The "Evolution" arrived at the port of Y City at 8:30 a.m. the next day. After resting for two hours, everyone went back to the road and arrived at the capital survivor base at around 7:30 p.m.

    The days of returning to the capital are still not much different from before. The only difference is that there are many more foreigners in the daily training and fighting monsters and saving people. After realizing that his goal in life is to "live to survive", Ling Jiu is obviously a lot more active in physical exercise and corpse search and rescue activities - although he is still paralyzed and can't say a few words for a week. .

    But... well, the situation is not optimistic.

    Colonel Grant brought the situation of the M country. This zombie virus infection is indeed worldwide, and because of the high degree of infection, only one immune person can be found in tens of millions of people, and the research on antiviral serum vaccines has not yet been carried out. There has not been much progress, so the infection rate of healthy people is getting higher and higher, the number of zombies has been increasing, and the rate of change in this number is still accelerating.

    New infections are detected almost every day at the base in the capital, even in the capital, not to mention other areas. There are fewer and fewer healthy people.

    If this continues, within three years, the entire earth will be completely occupied by the living dead, and there will be no hope of life.

    Li Changqing looked at the latest infection report in his hand and sighed.

    It has been a month since the arrival of the M people. The original 60,000 survivors have dropped sharply to 35,000, and now it is less than half a year since the base was built.

    In less than half a year, there are no more than 25,000 living people...

    Tian Yi took a deep breath and patted his old friend on the shoulder: "Don't sigh, old Li, what should come will come..."

    Li Changqing put it down Report, looking through the window to a small building not far away, there is Xiao Lan's temporary research institute, "It's been a month, why hasn't there been any movement from Dr. Xiao's side?"

    "Who knows, alas..." Tian Yi also sighed.

    Ling Jiu had been sitting by the side for ten minutes. Seeing the two of them, he knew that sighing and sighing couldn't get to the point, and finally said, "What's the matter with calling me here?"

    Li Changqing sighed again, he found that he was sighing too fast recently. Sigh out of asthma. He looked at Ling Jiu: "Xiao Ling, do you really not know the use of the thing dug out of the whale's brain?"

    "I don't know."

    "...Dr. Xiao got into the laboratory since he got that thing. It's been a month... have I revealed anything to you?" Tian Yi asked.

    "No." The

    two uncles sighed together, Ling Jiu said blankly, "I'll leave if I have nothing else to do."

    Tian Yi just wanted to hold on, but suddenly the phone on the table rang, and Tian Yi quickly picked it up: "Hey, I'm Tian - ah, Xiao Xiao! Ah? What? Oh oh... ok ok... I get it, ah ha ha ha."

    Tian Yi hung up the phone within less than a minute of the brief conversation . , but his face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were shining: "Xiao Lan has developed that thing! It is said to be the main ingredient of anti-venom!"
