Chapter 227: Listen, the sound of the trumpet

Xiang Kun basically did not see Lu Chengan's name in the speeches of various current or former employees of "Shenxing Technology" on various platforms, and most of them mentioned the bosses of each branch and their two CEOs.

Judging from the various remarks, no one mentioned that "Shenxing Technology" was pursuing and researching any information about mutated creatures. Even judging from the layout of Shenxing Technology, they have not invested much in biotechnology.

But thinking about the conversation between the two people before, I mentioned "signed confidential" and something like that, and there are not many people who know the inside story, and they don't talk nonsense. And even those who know the inside story are questionable, at least judging from the conversations between the people in front of the two hotels in the town, they don't know exactly what they are doing for what they are doing.

Xiang Kun is very curious and wary of "Shenxing Technology" and Lu Chengan, but he will definitely not expose himself for the sake of investigation, and needs to think long-term and slowly find clues.

For example, the corpse of the wild boar, such as what happened to the three Xue anchors, since "Shenxing Technology" has noticed it and sent someone to investigate, it is likely that there will be further discoveries in the future.

If they find something, they will definitely organize people to further explore that area, and there is a certain chance of finding the area where the mutant spider was active "before its death", the territory controlled, and maybe the lair of the mutant spider in the cliff cave.

While they couldn't have found the mutant spider or its tissues, with the way they had shipped rotting boar carcasses and dirt samples, if they could be sure it was the mutant spider's nest, much of it would have been shipped back as well.

In that case, the "means" he had laid out in it before would be effective.

When the time comes, he will naturally know where those things have been sent, instead of having to bother and risk exploring them now.

And if they can't find the habitat of the mutant spider, can't find the cave on the cliff, or can't be sure that those places have something to do with the existence they are tracking, then it proves that the "Shenxing Technology" and the organization behind it have limited understanding of vampires and mutated creatures, and there are also few means of determination and tracking, and the threat to Xiang Kun will naturally decrease.

Checking the information collected by Alice last night, there are also follow-up news about the three Xue anchors and discussions on the Internet.

Some media have obtained some videos taken by anchor Xue and others when they entered the Qinling Mountains for the second time, but these videos do not have any peculiarities, let alone how they accidentally ate poisonous fruits and how they got lost in the forest.

The detailed instructions issued by the official mentioned the specific types of wild fruits eaten by several people, and even accompanied by relevant pictures, saying that eating this poisonous fruit will produce symptoms such as heartbeat disorders, vomiting and diarrhea, nervous aphasia, hallucinations, confusion and other symptoms, and even direct death in severe cases - as for why the wild survival expert who acted as a "guide" did not recognize this poisonous fruit, and took the initiative to let all three of them eat it, the explanation on the news is that they may have recognized this poisonous fruit as another edible fruit.

However, the three of them were not directly poisoned by the poisonous fruit, but were affected by it, stripped naked, abandoned all equipment, and finally got lost in the deep mountains, freezing and starving to death.

But through the memory fragments of the mutant spider that Xiang Kun obtained, he knew that these people, like the leopard who was used as bait by the mutant spider, were all lured by the fruit created by the "reconstructed branch" to eat by mistake, and their abnormal behavior after that, devouring other poisonous fruits, was all affected by that fruit.

Moreover, the mutant spider did not suck the blood of the three Xue anchors, but just let them freeze and starve to death, and kept observing from the side.

It is not possible to read its thoughts directly from the memory fragments of the mutant spider, but its intentions can be inferred from many fragments.

Xiang Kun believes that the IQ of this mutant spider is indeed much higher than he thought at the beginning, and this guy is likely to be able to judge whether the humans who enter and leave the mountain have found its traces and whether it will pose a threat to it.

The reason why the three Xue anchors were killed was not because it wanted to suck blood, but because it thought that Xue anchors were approaching its territory and might pose a threat to its survival—this threat was not brought by themselves, but the entire human group.

It is likely that it has some degree of understanding of the power of humans, because there are many fragments of memories, all of which are from afar peeking into human dwellings, peeking into towns, and also hiding in the forest many times to "watch" humans entering the mountains. After it was able to add "transformation branches" and "reconstructed branches" to plants, these "observations" may be far more than the memory fragments that Xiang Kun saw.

In fact, Xiang Kun felt that many of the mutant spider memory fragments he obtained were likely to be sensory information detected on the "transformation branch" and "reconstruction branch".

The memory fragments formed by this information, when Xiang Kun just woke up, perceived a piece of "nothingness", which is somewhat similar to the feeling in Little Apple's dream, but it is an all-round "nothingness" from hearing, smell to vision.

It's like a folder titled "Mutant Spider Memory Fragments", there are a lot of video files, click on them to see memory clips, but there are still a small number of files, they don't have a suffix, and they can't be opened by any software, but they really exist there.

At first, Xiang Kun thought that there was something wrong with obtaining the memories of the mutant spider from blood, so these memory fragments were destroyed and not fully obtained.

But after the latest blood drink, Xiang Kun's special comprehensive cognitive model has been further strengthened, and after establishing a cognitive model for those "nothing" memory fragments on a whim, he suddenly found that these "nothing" memory fragments do not seem to be memory fragments that have not been fully obtained, but are likely to be the information obtained by the mutant spider through grafting "branches", but Xiang Kun is not the mutant spider, and lacks some "transfer branches" and "reconstructed branches" that can be decoded The function of the transmitted information is not to "read" these memory fragments in the correct way.

It's like opening a file with a notepad without a suffix and finding a bunch of garbled characters, and you know that they do have "content" and contain "information", but you opened it in the wrong way.

Xiang Kun knew before that the mutant spider could detect information through those "branches", but he was not sure what specific form of information it detected, it should not be simple visual information, or even sound or smell, but another mode of perceptual information.

Could it be electromagnetic waves?

Xiang Kun feels that when he can interpret and perceive these "void memory fragments", it is likely that his cognitive ability can be further improved, and even help him get more feedback from the "supersensory connection" and "emotional injection" items.

What was originally a "junk file" may become a "treasure".

......

After arriving at the station, Xiang Kun took a taxi according to the address that Little Apple told him on WeChat.

Although today is Christmas in the West, it is not a legal holiday in China, so Professor Li Yang still has to attend classes, and it is a middle-aged woman who is called "Aunt Yang" by Little Apple who opens the door to Xiang Kun at home.

Little Apple's house is quite large, with a three-bedroom and two-hall layout, but it is similar to Xiang Kun's house, with very little furniture, and the decoration is relatively simple, it looks relatively empty and concise, and there are no extra stools and chairs to be seen, and objects are placed in their fixed places, and almost all furniture, tables, cabinets and other corners have edging.

Little Apple was naturally very happy about Xiang Kun's arrival, and after nearly half a month, seeing Xiang Kun's "golden flash" again was also quite "excited". As soon as the little apple opened the cage, it flew directly to Xiang Kun's arm and chirped.

"Uncle Xiang, 'Golden Flash' is so cunning! It actually pretends to be dead! I was scared to death before, and I thought it was sick, I was scared and cried! Also, it is a picky eater! It is a picky eater!"

Little Apple invited Xiang Kun to sit down, and began to talk about a bunch of interesting things about "Golden Shining" during this time, in fact, these things had been told to Xiang Kun on WeChat before, but now that he "saw" Xiang Kun, he couldn't help but talk about it.

Aunt Yang, who was polite but with a hint of vigilance when she welcomed Xiang Kun in, eased her expression a lot after seeing Xiao Apple's rare excitement and cheerfulness, poured Xiang Kun a cup of hot tea, and then lovingly helped Xiao Apple comb her bangs.

Although it was the first time they met, and it had not been long since they entered the house, there were only two sentences of direct conversation, but Xiang Kun could still make a judgment based on the cognitive model established by this "Aunt Yang" - she really cared about Little Apple very much, and her love for this blind girl was obviously not only out of a sense of responsibility for the employer's care.

After chatting for a while, Apple asked a bunch of questions about the computer. To Xiang Kun's surprise, it can be seen from the questions she asked that her computer knowledge has improved a lot during this time, and she has obviously been learning related content by herself.

Although he has now finished making "Alice", Apple is interested in computer literacy, and he is happy to continue teaching.

Little Apple can't see, but she is very smart, with a very strong memory, comprehension, and abstract thinking skills, and most of her knowledge is taught as soon as she is taught, and as her teacher, it is very rewarding.

And because she has perceived Little Apple's dreams many times, Xiang Kun is also very clear about her cognitive mode and thinking methods that are different from ordinary people, and many times she can describe them in ways and metaphors that are very conducive to her understanding.

For example, the description focuses more on the sense of touch than the visual, and more on what she can touch than what she "sees".

So in Apple's opinion, listening to Xiang Kun explain the problem is also very enjoyable, and it feels more efficient than when her father taught her some knowledge and taught her lessons.

She had an inexplicable feeling, as if Xiang Kun had also been blind, and she could understand her thoughts very well.

So Xiang Kun, who was originally here to pick up "Golden Shining", unknowingly gave her a computer course for more than an hour at Little Apple's house.

However, when "Aunt Yang" was about to cook, Xiang Kun was moved in his heart, and asked Little Apple to play with "Golden Shining" first, and he went to the kitchen.

"Hello, do you want to make fried eggplant? Little Apple came to my house before and liked my cooking, so I wanted to make one for her at noon. Xiang Kun said politely.

Xiang Kun patiently "lectured" to Little Apple, and "Aunt Yang" naturally saw it in her eyes, and her impression of this bald guy became better and better. However, when he heard that he was going to cook for Little Apple, his expression was still obviously a little suspicious, and he said euphemistically:

"You're a guest, let's go chat with Little Apple, I'll get lunch, if you do it, Professor Li should talk about me when he comes back." To tell you the truth, I am also a veteran of cooking for more than 20 years, and I used to open a small restaurant next to Professor Li's school, and the taste is satisfactory to you. ”

This is a euphemism to tell Xiang Kun, my craftsmanship must be better than yours.

As soon as Xiang Kun walked into the kitchen, he could see that "Aunt Yang" was indeed a veteran, but he was very sure that the dishes he was going to make would match the taste of Xiao Apple, after all, Xiao Apple and Professor Li had visited twice before, ate the dishes he cooked, and ate at the same table, so that he understood and calibrated the taste of the father and daughter, so he still insisted: "I'll try my hand, how about you help me check on the side?"

Xiang Kun said so, and "Aunt Yang" naturally didn't want to refuse anymore, so she got out of the way and watched Xiang Kun do it.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew that there was no one, and as soon as he saw Xiang Kun's quick action in handling the ingredients, "Aunt Yang" knew that Xiang Kun was indeed a person who often cooked, and she was relieved a lot.

When "Aunt Yang" walked out of the kitchen, Little Apple had already stood on the edge of the kitchen at some point, she obviously knew by the smell and footsteps that it was "Aunt Yang", and chuckled: "Aunt Yang, Uncle Xiang is also very good at cooking, especially rabbit meat, last time I went to his house with my father as a guest, he made several different dishes with rabbit meat, all of which were very delicious, and told Uncle that he would open a rabbit restaurant in the future." ”

When Li Yang came back, Xiang Kun came out of the kitchen, originally only saying that he wanted to make one, but he unknowingly made four.

Even if you haven't tasted it, just looking at the finished product, "Aunt Yang" also expressed her appreciation for Xiang Kun's cooking skills.

However, Professor Li, who returned home, was a little embarrassed, and after taking his daughter to Xiang Kun's house for two visits and two meals, he originally thought of finding an opportunity to invite Xiang Kun to come here to play and entertain him well.

didn't expect Xiang Kun to come to his house, and he still cooked.

But I have to say that the dishes made by Xiang Kun are really delicious, even if they are just home-cooked dishes, very ordinary ingredients, and the seasonings used are all originally available at home, but the taste that comes out is quite comfortable.

After eating, Professor Li originally wanted to take Little Apple and Xiang Kun to visit and play in several scenic spots in their city.

But Xiang Kun suggested that he go to the park outside their community to have a look.

After carrying the golden birdcage to the park, Xiang Kun asked Professor Li to sit on a long wooden chair with the little apple, and then sat down next to their father and daughter.

"Xiang Kun, are you interested in visiting our school?" Professor Li Yang said with a smile, sitting in the park and listening to the sound of birds, all kinds of sounds around him, smelling the fragrance of flowers and herbs, is what Little Apple usually likes to do, in his opinion, Xiang Kun should be here to accommodate Little Apple. As far as Xiang Kun himself is concerned, just sitting like this all the time, it is estimated that he will feel bored.

Xiang Kun smiled at him through the little apple, and said, "Professor Li, if you have class in the afternoon, go to school first, I'll chat with the little apple here, and I'll send her home later and hand her over to 'Aunt Yang'." ”

"It's okay, I don't have classes in the afternoon, I'm worried that you're bored here......"

Xiang Kun said suddenly: "Professor Li, did you hear the two short horns just now?"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, recalled for a few seconds, and shook his head a little dazed and strange: "What kind of horn sound, no." As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around, and there was still some distance from the highway on their side.
