"Don't move, don't come, or I'll break this petri dish and everyone will die together." Luminov cried out in despair.
Sal had fallen to the ground, crimson plasma slowly flowing down the slope of the lab floor into the drain. The echo of thick and heavy blood dripping through the pipes was audible.
Lacking vigilance and weak defenses, the villa was unable to withstand the attack from the start. More than a dozen special forces fighters burst into the dacha from 3 directions and quickly swept away more than 20 bodyguards hired by Luminov. The snow-white walls, which had been carefully maintained, were replaced by patches of bright red. The pearlescent white walls were stained with blood, and they looked even more desolate and bleak in the evening sun.
Zuo Lin, who did not fire a single shot, performed staggeringly in the battle. When the experienced special forces looked through the body of the bodyguard who had been killed by Zuolin, they didn't even understand what weapon caused the wound that pierced the body. The dagger beside Zuo Lin definitely didn't have such a long blade, and he didn't see Zuo Lin carrying a sword or anything like that. Zuo Lin's attack method is very simple, which is to aim at the place where the major arteries on the body are abundant. Anyone who is stabbed must immediately lose a large amount of blood and lose the ability to resist immediately. After being stabbed, he will not die immediately, and he can clearly feel the life force flowing from his body, his body gradually getting colder, his heartbeat becoming slower and slower, and his breathing becoming heavier and heavier...... Bleeding too much is not a very painful way to die, but the feeling of knowing that you are going to die and not being able to do anything about it is cruel.
The villa was small, and after the special forces fighters swept away the bodyguards, they soon discovered the entrance to the laboratory hidden in the closet of the 20-odd bungalow. There are two laboratories, one for the preparation of drugs and the study of drug preparation methods, and the other is a biochemical laboratory, a biochemical laboratory that focuses on the study of viruses.
When the special forces fighters stormed the laboratory, Luminov was in a hurry to destroy the strain. Seeing that the men who stormed the laboratory were wearing elaborate gas masks and protective gloves, and that all the joints on the clothes had rubber isolation pads, Luminov knew that this time there was no escape, and only special forces specialized in dealing with biological and chemical attacks would be equipped with such high-cost light protective suits.
However, these suits are not perfect after all. These special forces fighters know that they have not even completed basic training, and these experimental models of protective clothing are only provided for the training they are familiar with, and they are not 100% safe, especially light respirators, in order to ensure the oxygen consumption flow of large amounts of exercise, a part of the filtration function is simplified, if the virus is really distributed in the air, Bacheng will suffer.
"Exit the lab. Fast. Insula decisively ordered. But Zuo Lin did not move.
Insula took a half-step back, obscuring the view of his subordinates, while Zolin threw a seed. The seeds rolled into the floor drain at Luminov's feet and began to grow and sprout. This is the seed of a pipe vine collected by Zuo Lin, and because it is very similar to the nature of the plant that Zuo Lin wants to use, Zuo Lin has not even used any natural force to complete the work of transforming the seeds and injecting growth energy. At this moment, the green glow of using the power of nature is just as dangerous. The pipe vine turned into a ghost vine, and quickly climbed up against the seam of Luminov's trousers, and after going around his waist, a strangely shaped flower suddenly appeared on the ghost vine, which looked like the mouth of the opposite sex in the movie, full of sharp teeth, and the flower sprang up and bit the wrist of Luminov's right hand holding the petri dish.
The vine then retracted, turned into a seed again, and rolled into the dark sewers.
Luminov didn't even feel pain, but he suddenly found himself unable to move. Starting from the wrist of the right hand, it spreads to the whole body, without any special feeling, just unable to move, like a magical magic, and like a nightmare.
Insula rushed up, took down the petri dish, carefully held the petri dish and placed it in the isolation operation box on the side, and locked it tightly. Luminov's strange and unnatural posture was seen by the fighters behind him, and Zuo Lin hurriedly ripped off Luminov's protective suit and helmet, and smeared a pinch of powder under Luminov's nose.
Luminov felt only a pungent taste in his nose, and then, he was able to move again. But his freedom lasted less than 2 seconds, and the special forces fighters who pounced on him pinned him to the ground and handcuffed him.
"Call Charlie and them, here to classify the investigation and collect evidence, and finish it in an hour. Then the equipment that can be moved is removed. Jim, start installing the zha drug, we detonate it as soon as we go, and it's safer to burn it clean. ”
As she spoke, Insula pulled Zolin away.
Zuo Lin's performance is seen by Sulla, although as a druid, Zuo Lin's ability is not outstanding, and his experience is not very rich. But his performance in this whole operation is remarkable. He did everything Insula told him to do, and he did a good job of hiding his true abilities from those special forces fighters. It's impossible not to arouse suspicion, but none of the abilities shown so far will give one a thought of what special abilities he has.
"Are you ready to go back?" asked Insula suddenly.
"yes. Now that you're almost done, I should hurry back as well. I still have to study and take the exam next year. Zuo Lin said.
"I've heard Yan Lao talk about this, and my daughter is also preparing for the university entrance examination, but she doesn't work as hard as you. The university system in the United States is also somewhat different from that in China. Insula lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "I am very satisfied with your performance." I will report to Parliament as well. When we meet again, I'm afraid it's time to arrange your duties. Since Elder Sun is hiding and refuses to see us, according to the parliamentary system, it is up to you to succeed him. It's not an easy job. ”
Zuo Lin scratched his head blankly and said, "The teacher didn't tell me a lot about the Druid Council. Can you tell me about it?"
Insula shook her head and said, "That's a long story, and as is customary, it will be the guy who temporarily acts in your department to tell you about it." During these times, though, I can give you something to do. ”
Insula took out a metal box, which was often flattened, from the pocket where it should have been filled, handed it to Zorin, and motioned for Zolin to open it.
The metal box contained a roll of parchment, and when the parchment was unfolded, from the dense spell druid language on it, Zuo Lin found that it was a description of the origin of Transfiguration and the method of learning cultivation. He was taken aback, Transfiguration was the most basic technique for an animal-based druid. Although the communication between the druids was relatively selfless, Zorin still did not understand why Insula taught him Transfiguration.
"You study hard. Your physical strength and physical condition are better than all the plant druids I've ever seen, and even better than some animal druids, Transfiguration is a basic technique that I believe will make you stronger. Insula's expression was very natural, as if she had done something that was supposed to be done.
"Thank you. Countless words rolled over and over in his heart, but in the end, Zuo Lin simply said one word.
Pat Zuo Lin on the shoulder. Insula smiled happily and drove back to Jingdong first.
The next day, Zuo Lin set off from Jingdong, continued to cross the mountains and crossed the border, and then took the transportation back to Kunming. When he re-entered the big city full of media information and turned on his mobile phone, he suddenly found that his sudden disappearance caused a lot of shock these days. The club explained to the national team that he was not able to report and did not cause any opinions from the national team coaching staff, at most it means that he is more playful, and he actually disappeared as soon as he was on vacation. But when those reporters saw that the people on the list did not report to Haigeng, there were many speculations.
Zuo Lin first called Yan Beizhai to report that he was safe, and then hurriedly called Sang Shilin. Sang Shilin said very open-mindedly that he had already agreed with the national team coaching staff that he did not need to participate in this training camp. If Zuo Lin is interested, he can go to Haigeng once, anyway, it's only the second day of concentration, and it's still restorative physical training, and there is no substance.
Since he didn't have to participate in boring national team training, Zuo Lin didn't bother to go to Haigeng. After following Sang Shilin's suggestion and hanging up the phone to explain the situation to the national team leader, he took the plane back to Shanghai. It was difficult for him to go far once, and according to the custom of the mountain people, he brought gifts to almost everyone he knew. From the border to Kunming, almost every foothold along the way bought some things, and after arriving in Kunming, I purchased a handful, and it cost a lot of money just to consign these things. However, Zuo Lin, who is not very aware of money, doesn't feel anything. Insula said that because of his help this time, according to the treatment of the special adviser in the operation by the American side, a considerable amount of allowance will be paid in a few days. Since a lot of advanced equipment was seized in this operation, the entire operation on the American side was paid for by Luminov and Saljin, and the allowance should be particularly generous this time.
It doesn't matter anymore. Zuo Lin thought so. Since there was still one day left after calculating the week's vacation given by the club, Zuo Lin did not rush back to the club, but stayed in the clubhouse on Julu Road in Yan Hokusai. It may seem strange to say, but the first thing that Zuo Lin thought of after returning to the clubhouse was actually to make up the class.
It's summer vacation, and Zhang Ling is working in a foreign trade company in addition to giving Zuo Lin a make-up lesson. However, after receiving Zuo Lin's call, she was still very happy to give Zuo Lin a lesson.
Zuo Lin is probably the most diligent student she has been in as a tutor. In particular, Zuo Lin does not have the pressure to go on to higher education, and there is no problem of taking a university degree as a prerequisite for finding a job, but also because Zuo Lin is now a super-first-class goalkeeper and star who is famous all over the country. To this extent, it's good to be able to talk to people without nostrils, not to mention studying those high school courses seriously, doing those similar questions over and over again, and practicing the feeling of taking the test. But Zuo Lin, when he was making up classes, his respect for Zhang Ling never changed at all. When making up classes, all tutoring materials are reimbursed, and the super high salary standard of 200 yuan per hour is certainly pleasant, but what is even happier is that when you earn this money, you can also meet a very good student. Zhang Ling prepares carefully every time she goes to class, just like she always takes any job seriously, and hopes that she can cultivate a star college student in her hands. But she, at least until now, has not told anyone that the object of her tutoring work is Zuo Lin.
Zhang Ling finished another day's work and it was almost 6 o'clock, but fortunately, the place where she worked was less than 20 minutes away from Julu Road, she felt the club at half past six on time and walked into the study.
"Teacher Zhang," Zuo Lin stood up and greeted Zhang Ling respectfully.
"You're back so soon, are you having fun?" Zhang Ling had already known from the newspaper that Zuo Lin had not reported to the national team. In fact, Zuo Lin did not report his whereabouts to the club when he left, but asked her for a week's leave, which actually made her the only person other than Yan Hokusai and Yan Yingxue who knew Zuo Lin's general whereabouts.
Zuo Lin handed a batik small cloth bag to Zhang Ling and said, "It's okay." I also brought you some gifts, Mr. Zhang. ”
The cloth bag contained a minority-style silver ornament. Zhang Ling looked at it and liked it very much. According to the custom, when she first took the scroll to Zuo Lin to make, she looked at it over and over again.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, perhaps because he didn't eat dinner, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Usually Zhang Ling is used to seeing the speed at which Zuo Lin makes rolls at any time, and after making rolls for more than 20 minutes, Zuo Lin suddenly found that today seems to be a little special. He looked up, but found that Zhang Ling's face was pale, and the sweat had already said that his bangs were sticking to his forehead.
"Teacher Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"My stomach is a little upset, it's fine. Zhang Ling insisted.
"Otherwise, I'll take you to the hospital today. Zuo Lin hurriedly threw down the pen.
"You make the rolls first, and I'll pour a cup of hot water. Zhang Ling still wanted to hold on, but just as she was about to stand up, her steps were vain.
Zhang Ling did not fall to the ground, but plunged into Zuo Lin's arm. Immediately, she felt a hand run over the crook of her leg, and she was hugged horizontally by Zuo Lin. Zhang Ling didn't struggle. It's still the height of summer, and the close contact between the thin clothes and Zuo Lin makes her panic for no reason. Her head was dizzy, and she knew that it was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything to stop Zuo Lin.
"Brother Yu, use the car, Mr. Zhang is not feeling well, so hurry up and send him to the hospital. When Zhang Ling struggled to break free from Zuo Lin's arms, Zuo Lin had already carried her into the BMW parked downstairs. Zuo Lin's arm was so strong and powerful, Zhang Ling struggled, but he couldn't move a single bit.
"I'm fine, really. Let me go. Zhang Ling said softly.
Perhaps realizing that it was a little inappropriate to hold Zhang Ling like this, Zuo Lin helped Zhang Ling up. The pain in his stomach invaded Zhang Ling for a while, although he wanted to sit up straight, but with his body together, Zhang Ling still leaned on Zuo Lin weakly.
The hospital is close at hand. Zuo Lin almost carried Zhang Ling through a full set of emergency treatments, perhaps because Zuo Lin's arms were indeed very secure, and Zhang Ling, who was in pain, did not refuse. She had always known that she hadn't been kind to her stomach, but she really didn't expect it to explode at this moment. Acute gastritis, the doctor gave a simple diagnosis. Recently, I was too tired, and when the pills began to work and the glucose drops gradually nourished the body, Zhang Ling fell asleep.
