Chapter 276: White Towel
"Alas. β
"We're finally getting to the measurement site. β
The white-haired old man tidied up his brown shirt, and his hair was combed extremely carefully, without the slightest mess. Those vicissitudes of life seem to tell the passage of time.
He sighed.
He is a well-known scientist in China, with a reputation at home and abroad in some fields, and can be described as the world's top scholar, and can even represent the frontier of contemporary science and technology.
Zhou Guangxue is the name of the white-haired old man.
"It's so tiring. β
"Let's sit here and rest for a while. β
As an outstanding person in the scientific community in China, Zhou Guangxue is more than 70 years old, and he is really unbearable to travel long distances, not to mention that in this terrifying area where countless demons and monsters are hidden, psychological pressure alone can make people mentally collapse.
He was a man of science, not a martial artist.
These days, I often witness strange, hideous and ferocious demons and monsters, if it weren't for the many guards around him, Zhou Guangxue would have died countless times.
"Whew. β
Zhou Guangxue sat on a rock and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.
Side.
A middle-aged man named Li Ming has a slightly vicissitudes on his face.
Hearing Zhou Guangxue's sigh, he stopped his steps, as if he had just woken up from his contemplation, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Alas, Assistant Li Ming. A martial arts practitioner held a green grass in his mouth and glanced at Li Ming with a smile: "As an assistant, you are not qualified, don't pour a glass of water for Mr. Zhou?"
Here and now.
There are about eleven martial arts practitioners, all of whom are high-ranking military generals, extremely vigilant, standing in all directions between Zhou Guangxue and Li Ming, forming an impenetrable formation.
And Zhou Guangxue and Li Ming are unarmed ordinary people.
In fact, even if the two of them are equipped with hot weapons, they can't withstand general-level demons, let alone formless ghosts.
"Ahem. Zhou Guangxue said with a smile: "Li Ming often thinks about problems, and as an assistant in scientific research, he is still very qualified." After all, we want science, not luxury. β
The martial general arched his hand and exclaimed: "Mr. Zhou is right. β
β......β
Li Ming, who was about forty years old, handed Zhou Guangxue a glass of water, and without saying a word, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
Rushing.
The cold wind blew, and the audience was quiet.
Zhou Guangxue, the highest-ranking Chinese scientist, Li Ming, an assistant squatting next to him, plus eleven martial arts practitioners, rendered a quiet atmosphere.
They are a group of people with important tasks.
The boundary area here is the last node of the task. But no one knows the details of the measurement task, perhaps only Zhou Guangxue knows.
"Alas. β
Zhou Guangxue smoothed his white hair and sighed.
"Hehe, why are you sighing for no reason?" The martial general realm scratched his head and asked with curiosity with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, what task are you going to perform?" β
This action is really strange.
In short, it is to escort Zhou Guangxue and Li Ming, crossing thousands of kilometers of borders, and it seems that they are looking for some important nodes and observing the detailed situation.
But.
What to observe?
The military general's face showed curiosity, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Haha, observe the celestial phenomena. Zhou Guangxue pointed to the precision instruments in the cloth bag, some similar to telescopes, showing that it was extraordinary: "The northwest region of China is perennially drought, and studying climate change may be able to find a solution." β
"Oh. β
The military general nodded his head.
The other ten generals also glanced at Zhou Guangxue, silently guarding the surroundings, sometimes killing some weak demons and monsters.
"Shhhhh β
Zhou Guangxue shook his right palm, reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath of smoke.
Li Ming next to him asked, "Teacher Zhou, how do you smoke?"
"Do your own job as an assistant. Zhou Guangxue snorted, a little dissatisfied: "Do I have to report to you if I smoke?"
"Smoking, smoking is not good. Li Ming stumbled.
"Shut your mouth. Zhou Guangxue raised his head suddenly, staring at Li Ming with fierce eyes, as if his inner dissatisfaction had been accumulated for a long time.
"Smoking is bad for your health. Li Ming said dryly.
"Shut up!"
Zhou Guangxue snorted angrily.
......
Ten minutes later.
The white-haired old man Zhou Guangxue was completely angry, extremely angry, turned his face on the spot, and had an incomprehensible mustard crack with his assistant Li Ming, like a break after a fierce dispute.
Phew.
Twelve went on, one less.
"Alas, it's pathetic. A military general sighed, glanced at Zhou Guangxue, an outstanding scientist in Huaguo, shook his head and said in a low voice: "Let's throw Li Ming himself there, he will definitely die." β
Hum.
Zhou Guangxue snorted.
His white hair trembled, his face was full of anger, and he went forward like a straight forward in the cold wind and winter sun.
It took a while.
"Poor man, there must be something hateful!" Zhou Guangxue glanced at the many martial arts realms around him, and snorted lightly: "Don't worry about him, let's go to the last node as soon as possible, that is the key to determining whether the task can be completed." β
Phew.
The rest of the generals glanced at each other and continued to move forward.
Whew, whew.
Zhou Guangxue gasped twice, the old Long Zhong's face seemed to be a little older, and his decaying body seemed to be a little less angry, panting towards the last node.
"Ahem, ahem. β
He coughed violently and lifted his black-rimmed glasses.
There was a military general next to him who hurriedly supported the white-haired Zhou Guangxue, and greeted with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It doesn't matter. β
Zhou Guangxue waved his hand and continued to move forward.
A subtle trace of sadness and fear flashed across his face that was still angry, like a mechanical puppet on the verge of decay.
Tired.
Really tired.
Zhou Guangxue, who is over 70 years old, is too tired to work.
This is even an important and confidential task, and it is not a child's play, and it involves the future trajectory of mankind in China and even the whole world...... And he, of course, has an extraordinary primary mission.
If all goes well.
That problem that has plagued mankind for a long time will surely be able to propose a proper treatment plan and solve the problem once and for all, and it must be just around the corner!
Pity.
Wrong, very wrong.
"I have to admit that I underestimated your wisdom. β
"I didn't expect that the world's joint scientific research institutions also have your existence. β
"But. Zhou Guangxue tidied up his brown clothes, facing the winter sun, and his heart flowed with a great emotion and joy towards death: "You also can't imagine that the scientist codenamed Bailong is not a real scientist, but an assistant, an assistant who has been in obscurity for ten years. β
Click.
His right foot fell, and he trampled on a dead branch.
Zhou Guangxue took out a small towel, his eyes were full of kindness and nostalgia, this was a towel woven by the old lady at home, specially given to him.
"It's so soft. β
He clutched the spotless white towel very tightly...... Only in this way can we be fearless.
Because.
The white towelβgave him the courage to stay in the middle of the eleven horrible goblins.
