"Huh?"

When Dai Lin heard Ye Ren say this suddenly, the work in his hand stopped, but he still didn't put down the test tube obediently, just turned his head and looked at Ye Ren with some doubts: "If there is anything you can say directly, I'm listening." ”

"Listen to the, I'm not blind. ”

Ye Ren wiped his face: "You're obviously doing real things, okay?"

"I'm practicing multitasking, which is a bit more helpful for me. ”

Dai Lin explained seriously, but although it was an explanation, she herself subconsciously listened to Ye Ren's words, and put the test tube in her hand on the test tube rack on the side: "It's okay now, just say something." ”

"Uh...... How's your experiment going?"

Ye Ren thought for a while, and casually found what he wanted to ask: "How is the research on the Shimmer mushroom and the virus, are there any special discoveries?"

"Not yet. ”

Hearing that Ye Ren was asking about the experiment, Dai Lin directly shook his head and explained: "Since I came back, I have been sorting out some of the materials I saw in the real yàn room before, so although I have been doing real things, the progress is not very fast. ”

"Oh, so you're actually waiting for me to unseal the Amber Ball?"

Ye Ren nodded and asked.

"Hmm. Dai Lin nodded slightly, as if she was a little tired, she turned around and picked up a beaker, took a few sips of the dark green liquid in it, and then continued: "I was thinking, if the information from the real yàn room this time is integrated, combined with the knowledge I understand, although I can't guarantee the problem of the shimmering mushroom, but the virus may have some breakthroughs in research." ”

"Is that so?"

Ye Ren nodded, now the queen worm is really not particularly short of nutrient solution. The existence of the fusiform insect itself has actually alleviated the crisis of some food sources, as long as Ye Ren thinks of a way, even if he doesn't need Leviathan. I want to be self-sufficient.

Therefore, the shimmering mushroom that Ye Ren was looking forward to very much turned out to be not particularly anxious.

"Of course. If all those real devices can be put into use, I will be more sure. Dai Lin nodded, then yawned while reaching out and pointing to a petri dish on the side: "But although the Shimmer mushroom can't meet your requirements for the time being, for now, I have cultivated a similar mushroom, do you want to try it?"

"Similar fungi?"

Ye Ren asked with some interest: "What is that?"

"No, it's just a fungus that doesn't grow fast and doesn't emit light. The depth and vitality of the roots are also not up to the mark. ”

Dai Lin shook his head: "Actually, this thing was originally a failed work, but I tried it, it can grow in a simulated insect hive environment, and the fruiting body produced is more or less a nutrient, better than nothing, or you can put this kind of thing into the insect hive to try, I can also record the growth state of this thing in the real insect hive environment at that time, maybe it will be of some help to the synthesis of real shimmer mushrooms in the future." ”

"I didn't find the bread, but you found the feeling of some crumbs?"

Ye Ren stared at the small purple mushroom bush in the petri dish, and asked Dai Lin with interest.

"Pretty much. You're apt to describe it, this thing really is just bread crumbs. Dai Lin also had a look of disapproval of this thing, and he didn't even want to look at it a few more times: "Anyway, if you like it, take it to test it." ”

"Hmm. I'll pack it up and take it away in a moment. ”

Ye Ren nodded, and then began to cut to the chase: "By the way, I feel that you seem to be a little weak, girl, how long have you not rested?"

"Rest?"

Dai Lin seemed to be recalling something, and then finally gave up: "I seem to have forgotten, but I don't want to rest, have I rested?"

"No, no, I'm not supervising you, I just want you to take a break. ”

Ye Ren wiped his face: "Now the work at hand can be put aside for a while." Your body is the most important thing, and if you fall, I'm in trouble. ”

"I'm not tired. ”

Dai Lin shook her head: "It's okay if you never rest." I'm sure I'm fine, though the star-scarred symbiote shouldn't be as strong as you. But I know my own body, so don't worry. ”

"Don't worry. ”

After Ye Ren heard Dai Lin's words, he immediately slapped his face: "I have to sleep once in a while, okay?"

"Hmm......"

Dai Lin was speechless.

"Hmm, do you think you can prevaricate over it?"

Ye Ren raised his forehead and began to say loudly: "Even if it is a machine that needs to be restarted a little once in a while, you guy hurry up and be obedient to me, otherwise I will let Honghe come over to persuade you, of course, electrotherapy or knocking on the neck, you can choose by yourself when the time comes." ”

"I..."

Dai Lin opened her mouth, originally wanted to resist two sentences, but before she could say it, she suddenly found the sneaky white figure at the staircase, and after thinking about it, she changed what she wanted to say, and lowered her head and said, "I seem to be a little tired." ”

"It's right to be tired, you have to rest when you're tired, and you have to stay away from these messy things. ”

Of course, Ye Ren's electromagnetic senses detected Bai Mengmeng, who was hiding behind him, but he didn't break it, but showed a smiling expression: "Okay, now give you a few minutes, deal with these things, and then pack that mushroom out, I'm going to take you to the lair." ”

"Huh?"

After Dai Lin heard Ye Ren's words, she was also stunned.

"I'm not asking you to work, I'm telling you to get some rest. Ye Ren saw Dai Lin's stunned expression, so he explained: "I just plan to go back in a while, and after a while, the nest will be ready to start building the base, and the real yàn area is more important, so you can personally guide how to build it or something, as well as the real yàn equipment in those amber balls, and I want you to help refer to it when the time comes." ”

"Is that so?"

After Dai Lin heard Ye Ren's explanation. also nodded subconsciously.

"yes, yes. Ye Ren nodded, then turned around and walked towards the stairs: "Okay, give you time for a song." Meng Meng, play songs. ”

"Oh..."

Bai Mengmeng, who had been eavesdropping, responded directly. Then a song "Relic of the Sage" was sung......

Dai Lin packed up her things quickly, and after a few minutes, Dai Lin had all her things sorted out and walked out of the basement.

After all, with the help of a metallized star mark ribbon to clean up, the speed will definitely not be slow.

"Cleaned up?" Seeing Dai Lin walking out slowly, Ye Ren glanced up at the other party and found that she didn't have anything on her except for a transparent glass box, so she asked, "Just bring these things?"

"Hmm. ”

Dai Lin nodded: "There are a total of three things in this culture box that need to be tested. Other than these three things, I don't plan to bring them with me for a while. ”

"Oh, then wait a minute. ”

Ye Ren nodded, then turned his head and said to Bai Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, if you stay alone for a while, I don't think it will take too long, in short, there is nothing particularly urgent recently, just pay attention to the movements of all parties." ”

"Got it, stupid, don't worry. ”

Bai Mengmeng smiled at Ye Ren, "Remember to pick me up and take me to the base early." ”

"Won't keep you waiting. ”

Seeing Bai Mengmeng's smile, Ye Ren also responded with a smile. Then he beckoned Dai Lin: "Let's go, girl, go back to the lair." ”

"Hmm..."

Dai Lin is actually starting to get a little tired now. didn't have much energy to answer, and then followed Ye Ren out.

As for the journey back, because of Ye Ren, it didn't actually take long.

And during this journey, Ye Ren also communicated and communicated with Dai Lin about something, with the special favor brought by the granter's permission, Ye Ren successfully opened Dai Lin's heart knot, but in fact, it was similar to what Ye Ren himself thought, Dai Lin really couldn't let go of the fact that her parents were killed by the real yàn room. But under Ye Ren's enlightenment, how much Dai Lin still let go of some of the baggage in his heart.

And after letting go of the knot. Dai Lin finally couldn't bear the endless fatigue brought by his body, and he didn't even care that he was still in Ye Ren's hands. Fell asleep directly.

Even after Ye Ren returned to the hive, Dai Lin did not wake up.

"Boss!"

After seeing Ye Ren running back, the sappers covered in water ran back, but after seeing Dai Lin in Ye Ren's arms, his face suddenly changed: "This... This is...... The doctor is injured?!"

"No, my sister is just asleep. ”

Honghe seemed to know these things, and after coming over, he silently explained to the sappers.

"Yes, I did fall asleep. Ye Ren nodded, then directly handed Dai Lin to Honghe and gave an order: "Take her to rest, she has been too tired lately." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Red River answered, then turned and left.

"Okay, sapper, how is the work done on your side?" After getting rid of Honghe and Dai Lin, Ye Ren also turned around and asked the sapper: "Have you brought in all the things in the harbor?"

"Boss, this project is a bit large, so it's not finished yet. ”

The sapper honestly reported: "Because the expansion of the undersea tunnel must take into account concealment, and there are indeed a lot of building materials, I have only completed the first step, and built a wormhole passage for transporting supplies. ”

"Really?"

Hearing what the sapper said, Ye Ren nodded, and did not blame the sapper: "You take a rest first, I have something to do after looking for worms." ”

"Okay, Boss. ”

The sapper nodded, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait. Ye Ren suddenly seemed to think of something, and opened his mouth to stop the sapper again.

"What's wrong with the boss?"

The sapper asked, a little confused.

"When I came here with Bai Mengmeng before, I should have brought back a batch of daily necessities, as well as some kitchen utensils or something, I don't know where I was thrown away by the worm, anyway, you can deal with it after you find it, and keep the food problem in the nest. ”

"Okay, Boss, I see. ”

After hearing Ye Ren's words, the sapper nodded: "The things have been placed in the warehouse, I'll deal with it." ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Ye Ren waved his hand, this time there was really nothing to do, so he didn't stop the sappers.

"Alright, Queen Worm, now it's just the two of us. ”

After the sappers left, Ye Ren smiled after glancing at the huge and pitch-black insect beside him.

"Squeak~" Hearing Ye Ren's words, the insect queen screamed affectionately, and then took the initiative to stretch her head over and rub it on Ye Ren's body, although her body was huge and her expression was terrifying, but the movement of the insect queen at this moment was indeed like a docile kitten.

"Good. ”

Ye Ren touched the smooth and warm head shell after the insect: "I have collected more than 20 million evolution points a little, and it is time for you to become stronger again, how about it, are you looking forward to it?"

"Father, I'm looking forward to it. 】

The queen of insects had a pair of giant red crystal-like pupils flashing with a very expectant look.

"Just look forward to it. Ye Ren smiled, then closed his eyes: "Look forward to it." ”

After closing his eyes, Ye Ren's heart moved.

[Evolutionary space.] 】

The space around it quickly distorted, like water vapor filling the air, and when it became clear, everything turned white.

"System, here I go again. ”

This time, Ye Ren was in a good mood, returned to the evolution space, and was even in the mood to say hello to the system.

"...... "Of course, the system doesn't have birds, he is."

"Okay, system, open the gene bar of the subsystem of the postworm, and I'll take a look at it a little. ”

Seeing that the system did not take a stubble, Ye Ren also did not continue to talk with interest, but directly got down to business, and a bright blue light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Ye Ren, marked with all the information about the insect queen.

"Whew..."

Ye Ren took a deep breath: "It's finally time to upgrade the insect queen, it's a little exciting to think about it." ”

However, despite Ye Ren's words, before evolution, Ye Ren still took a careful look at the current attributes and genetic data of the insect queen.

Because the queen of worms has not fused the optimized genes that Ye Ren created before, it is actually not very strong, the third-level termite reproductive organs, the fourth-level dominating ant colony, the third-level enhanced genes, the sixth-level slugger emperor crocodile gland, the fourth-level accelerated egg production, the fourth-level burrowing, the third-level self-eating, the fifth-level scorpion-tailed bee exoskeleton, the fourth-level perpetual muscle, the third-level vibration perception, the second-level nutrient solution, the fourth-level air storage bag, the first-level insect wings, and the third-level brain utilization.

"I feel that in addition to the utilization rate of the brain, everything else can be modified......"

Looking at these outdated genes, Ye Ren touched his chin and muttered to himself in the evolutionary space. (To be continued)
