The convoy traveled for more than seven hours on a mountain road on the southwestern border of China.

At one o'clock in the morning, I finally came to the outskirts of a prefecture-level city.

Instead of stopping, the crowd turned onto the highway and ran wildly.

After another three hours, the majestic buildings of the provincial capital finally appeared outside the car window.

By this time, the sky was already dark.

Anne personally served as the driver of Lin Shuo's car. It stands to reason that a girl driving for twelve hours in a row is a bit fatal.

But while driving, the woman chatted with the starling bird all the way, and she was in good spirits.

On the contrary, it was Lin Shuo who felt that this woman and this bird were really a little noisy.

Coming to a five-star hotel called the Four Seasons Hotel in Chunning, the convoy arrived at the destination of the trip and stopped for dinner.

Chunning is known as the four seasons like spring, and the urban greening is very good.

Lin Shuo asked the starling bird to go to the nearby forest to forage for food, and then set up an ebony box in the guest room, and followed Anne and Wei Xingshan into the cafeteria of the Four Seasons Hotel.

The luxurious restaurant of more than 200 square meters is still early, there are not many people, and it looks very empty.

More than a dozen people in this group, especially the group of big-headed soldiers behind Wei Xingshan, lined up and drove into the restaurant, and these dozen or so people walked, found a seat, and sat down, all of which were a rhythm, making the few diners in the restaurant pay attention to the salute.

Lin Shuo picked a remote table, Anne greeted Liu Qing, and the two women sat down with Lin Shuo.

Liu Qing asked Wei Xingshan to sit over, and the man glanced at Lin Shuo, shook his head and refused.

After selecting the meal, Lin Shuo and the three of them were eating and drinking, and at the door of the cafeteria, two more people came in.

Both of them wore glasses, and one of them looked to be in his sixties, dressed in a silk Tang suit, with silver hair, but his legs and feet were very neat, and he walked with the wind.

Behind the old man was a man of about thirty years old, wearing a white shirt and looking sven.

The two took the food with a plate, looked for it, and walked over to Lin Shuo's table.

Anne and Liu Qing stood up when they saw the two of them coming.

"Let me introduce you. "This is the chief scientist of the International Society for Biological Research, Professor Ho Zihong. The person next to him is his student and a young biologist in China, Dr. Yang Tuo.

Professor He, Dr. Yang, this is the leader we invited this time, Mr. Lin Shuolin. ”

"I have long admired Mr. Lin's name!" Old Man He Zihong stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so young, and he is really terrifying!"

Lin Shuo was stunned, so he could only stand up and shake hands with He Zihong.

After some greetings, the guests and hosts sat down, and Lin Shuo glanced at Anne with inquiring eyes.

Anne immediately smiled and explained: "I, a half-baked graduate student, am far from the level of these two experts. So on this trip to Heilongjiang, the person in charge of the scientific research project is these two. They had already been waiting for Mr. Lin to meet up at the Four Seasons Hotel. ”

"Professor He and Dr. Lin, are you going to Heilongjiang with us?" Lin Shuo frowned and looked at the two scholars.

"Of course. Professor He Zihong was full of red light, and said in a loud voice, then looked at the surrounding environment, and said in a low voice, "According to the sampling of that scale, we have just completed the preliminary study of that creature in Heilongjiang. Oh! This is a biological miracle! Xiao Yang, tell them about it. ”

Si Swenwen's Yang Tuo lifted his glasses, with an excited look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Based on the size of the scales, we speculate that the size of this individual is rare in the world.

It should weigh about 100 tons of the largest living creature on Earth*.

* It lives in the ocean and is protected by the buoyancy of seawater, so it can support its huge weight.

But obviously, our target this time is a land creature.

Biologically, this is almost impossible. What kind of physiology and physical strength does such a large weight need to be supported by the gravitational pull of land?

This is our first suspicion.

Second: The hardness of that scale has reached the Mo-style 9.5 level, which is almost close to diamond. This is an ore-grade hardness that has never been seen in living organisms.

Of course, this may partly explain why it can weigh so much.

Third: According to genetic decoding, the genetic map of this individual is 97% similar to that of the ancient creature Titan Python, but even if it is a Titan Python, it is far from reaching such a large size.

And we also found that this individual has a lifespan of more than a thousand years. ”

After saying this, Yang Tuo let out a long sigh of relief and said to Lin Shuo: "Mr. Lin, in the face of such a biological miracle, Mr. He and I have been in this professional field all our lives, how could we miss the opportunity to witness the living body with our own eyes?"

"We know that there is a lot of danger this time. He Zihong said at this time, "And it is precisely because of the danger that we know that even if Mr. Lin makes a move, it is still extremely difficult to capture the living body."

So we have to be personally involved in this operation so that we can make sure that we see the living body.

As long as I can take a look at it, even if I die in Heilongjiang, my life will be worth it.

I brought Xiao Yang this time because he is young and professionally he has won my true heritage. In case of danger, it's a big deal that my old bones die in front, and you can just keep Xiao Yang. ”

He Zihong's words were not loud, but he said them resolutely, and there was no room for reversal.

Yang Tuo didn't have any objection to He Zihong's words, but just looked at Lin Shuo with burning eyes, as if he wanted his approval.

"I disagree!"

Lin Shuo hadn't made a statement yet, but Wei Xingshan at the next table stood up, and the golden knife sat down on Lin Shuo's table.

"He doesn't belong to the International Society for Biological Research, I don't care. Wei Xingshan pointed at Lin Shuo, looked at Professor He Zihong and said, "But as the leader of the action team in Asia of the Research Society, I have the right to decide whether the people affiliated with the Research Society can participate in the action. You two scholars should stay in the scientific research base and go to the mountains and forests to make trouble?"

"Captain Wei. He Zihong's face sank, "You seem to have made a mistake." I am the chief expert of the research society and one of the members of the Senate Council. I can decide who will be the team leader in Asia. ”

"Then you withdraw me first. Wei Xingshan slapped the table, "Anyway, I've had enough of Lao Tzu's anger." You closed your mouths one by one, and when you said you were participating, you participated.

But to keep you back, how many lives will we fill in?

Yes, you paid 10,000,000 for the lives of fifteen of our brethren.

But human life is so worthless?"

Wei Xingshan's words became louder and louder, and soon, the other diners left their seats one after another, and they left the restaurant as if they were fleeing.

The waitress walked to the vicinity of the dining room, wanting to remind her, but she was frightened by Wei Xingshan's fierce and vicious expression, and she didn't dare to step forward.

He Zihong's face was flushed, and his hands trembled with anger, and Anne hurriedly stroked the old man's back when he saw this, and glanced at Wei Xingshan.

Yang Tuo held his glasses at this time and said firmly: "Captain Wei, life is equal, and it can't be measured by money. In this operation, you have your duty, and we have our mission. If you think we're a drag, well, it's a big deal that we'll go on our own without your protection. ”

"Actually, everyone's goal is still the same. Anne began, "We all have the same realization. So why can't we cooperate sincerely? With Mr. Lin here, I believe that everything can be turned into a disaster. That's right, Mr. Lin. ”

As she spoke, Anne's beautiful eyes rolled and looked at Lin Shuo.

Lin Shuo didn't make a sound, and at this time, he looked at the people on the seat, and he said with a calm expression:

"I'm just collecting money to do things, and I can't take care of other things. I've finished eating, go up and smoke a cigarette. ”

With that, he patted his ass and left.
