Colonel Lance immediately began to contact the base after receiving Chen Yan's request to bring back the giant beast brain, asking to bring equipment that could store the brain.

But even she, a "tech nerd" who rarely interacts with people, can hear that this is not going well. Colonel Lance always seemed to repeat the same phrase to different people, who replied politely and respectfully, and asked for instructions.

As the minutes passed, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier. If the base still doesn't get through, I'm afraid it's too late - the brains of living organisms can survive for a while after the body dies, but it's definitely not going to be long.

Meina, who didn't know when she woke up, also heard their conversation and looked at Colonel Lance worriedly: "Boss, I'm afraid it won't work this time." ”

Colonel Lance didn't speak, his right hand tapped rhythmically against the wall, and a moment later another person was connected, "I want a container to carry my brain," he said briefly, "and bring it with the receiving aircraft—no, not a human brain, it's the brain of a behemoth." ”

Major Egger on the other side of the communicator shouted, "You woke me up from bed in the middle of the night, is this the case?"

"Or else? I remember you often don't sleep much at night. ”

"That's insomnia, insomnia! I'm finally not losing sleep today!"

"Well, that's congratulations. ”

Major Egger rolled his eyes, "This matter, yes. Still, you're going to have to help me once, too. ”

"Good. ”

"Why don't you ask?" Major Egger was very surprised by this, making Lance owe a favor, and I am afraid that there are few in the whole of Asher. This time it seems like a big deal......

"What big deal can you do?"

Egger: ...... He seemed to smell serious contempt in that calm tone.

"Okay, you wait". So the call hung up in the gritted teeth of one party.

Colonel Lance calmly cut off the call, turned to Chen Yan, and nodded slightly, "Get ready, take out the brain when the aircraft comes." ”

I didn't have hope anymore, but I didn't expect it to be successful. Chen Yan excitedly recalled the steps, and then looked at the tools that could be used in the backpack, "Colonel Lance, thank you so much this time. ”

"Don't thank me, this research plan is your ability", he turned his head sideways, in the dimly lit basement, it seemed that the gaze had penetrated the barriers, looking in the direction of Asher, "Ashur City, it's been a long time since I had such an idea. ”

Finally, the sound of flying machines was heard outside, and the reinforcements sent arrived.

When they walked out of the basement, they found that the faint morning light had shrouded outside, and the air was gauzy like a veil of dew, which had erased the edges and corners of the day, which had been uninhabited by humans.

In such a soft moment, even the dead behemoth looked a little pitiful.

On the way back, Quinn was placed in an emergency treatment pod, and Chen Yan had been carefully guarding the device containing the monster's brain. All kinds of research ideas kept flashing through her mind, and they were all rejected by herself.

In the end, she made herself into a fine man, and Mina felt like she was about to burrow into that brain.

"Hey, rookie, relax", Adolf comforted her heartlessly, "I don't know about what your Academy of Sciences is researching, but you were the first to come up with this idea, and even if you didn't do anything, you are very powerful." ”

Chen Yan smiled bitterly and nodded, accepting his kindness, although it sounded like an indiscriminate protection.

Mei Na raised her hand and knocked Adolf on the head, "What do you say, Chen Yan won't be unable to do anything." ”

Well, this one is more short-handed.

By the time he returned to Ashur and put the precious beast brain into the nutrient dish, it was already late at night. She returned to the dormitory with her numb brain, tiptoed open the door with biometric information, and found it pitch black inside. Lily should have rested.

Gently walked to the side of his bed, and wondered whether to clean it before going to sleep. But soon her body reacted directly, and she almost subconsciously fell on the bed and fell asleep without even covering the quilt.

At this time, Lily, who should have been asleep, opened her eyes, looked at Chen Yan's side, and sighed almost inaudibly. She gently got up and pulled Chen Yan's quilt and helped her cover it. Chen Yan muttered something, turned over and rolled the quilt under him.

The first proposed project to study the brains of behemoths was swiftly approved. The Academy of Sciences equipped Chen Yan with an independent laboratory, all the equipment she needed, and raised her secrecy level to Level 2.

The research projects are all classified with the lowest level and the highest level 3. Chen Yan didn't expect that the research she proposed for the first time would be classified as a second-level secret. She had a "try to see" mentality, but now she started to get nervous.

Having never studied the relationship between the brain of a giant beast and genetic evolution before, Chen Yan searched all the information and still found nothing. She sat in the swivel chair and slid boredly on her feet to the glass container containing the beast's brain.

It's more than a man tall, and it's very cheerful to survive in a nutrient dish - its tentacles can even move. Chen Yan sat in front of the container with his cheeks on his hands, and he was in a daze for an hour. She had a feeling that this thing was looking at the humans in front of her, too.

The genetic chain of the evolved behemoth had been deciphered, and it was unequivocally revealed that it possessed the genes for the structure of flight. It is as if it appeared suddenly, abruptly sandwiched between the original gene chain, and there is no evolutionary process.

The only way to find this sudden gene seems to be in its brain. But where do you start?

Tapping her head and looking at the time, she began to pack her things. Quinn had recovered after being treated in the treatment pod, but unfortunately, his right leg was so badly injured that he was almost completely cut off from the body of the giant beast at the time, and then delayed healing in an environment full of bacteria, so he could not be fully connected.

This affected his physical agility, so Quinn had to withdraw from the front line and no longer carry out missions. The special forces made an appointment to hold a farewell party for Quinn tonight, and called Chen Yan.

Although she didn't like the occasion, Quinn was there to save herself from her injuries, so she had to be there anyway. Moreover, after her previous experience, she felt that the people in the special mission unit were also good, and even preferred the former to the people in the Academy of Sciences.

There are many bars in Ashur City, and they come alive at night, and they are quite like singing and dancing. These people who work and go out on tasks during the day will choose to go out and relax at night.

Mei Na booked a bar, and when Chen Yan arrived, he found that all the people there were old acquaintances. Yiluo was holding a glass of red wine and scurrying around, and when he saw Chen Yan coming, he couldn't help but stuff her with a glass.

"If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't be home!" Iloh laughed and slid away, not like a farewell to Quinn from the Special Mission, but more like a celebration.

Chen Yan walked to the bar with red wine, and Quinn was sitting there chatting with Mina and Adolf. Colonel Lance sat alone in the corner of the bar, where the lights were dim and only his silhouette could be seen from the bar.

The atmosphere here was different from what Chen Yan imagined, there was no sadness or loneliness, and there was no frustration on their faces. On the contrary, Quinn gained a group of envious eyes.

Adolf held the strongest wine and touched Quinn, "You kid will start the lazy mode in the future, but we still have to eat dirt, hey......"

Quinn said honestly: "Then you can also be injured, and you can go to the front." ”

Mina glared at Adolf and gave him an elbow, "Don't listen to his nonsense. However, the treatment of your retirement this time is also good, you were directly promoted to the brigadier school, and there is a generous salary", she also showed yearning in her eyes as she said, "This kind of bar can come at any time you want, and you can go to the girl at any time!"

Quinn was blushed by her, "I, I'm not going to come here to soak and pick up girls' ......"

His appearance made everyone laugh, and Chen Yan thought he was too cute, "Quinn, it's okay, you should think about it too." They can't always be here, so you can ask me any questions."

Everyone agreed, as if they had already regarded Chen Yan as one of them.

If the special forces need to serve for ten years before they can retire without being injured, they will generally arrange a job in Ashur after retirement, and they will be promoted in rank.

If it is due to injury, it is necessary to retire early. Quinn was almost crippled in his right leg this time, and had to be fitted with artificial prosthetic assistance to be no different from a normal person, so he couldn't go out on another mission. The military department promoted him to a brigadier colonel, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

Although they kept giggling, Chen Yan felt that he must still be disappointed if he couldn't continue the mission, after all, he was separated from his comrades-in-arms who got along day and night.

After a while at the bar, she picked up a glass of wine and tried to find a quieter corner. Out of the corner of her eye, she actually saw the long-lost big fluffy tail - Liangchen was also brought over.

Although it was only a few days later, Chen Yan felt that he hadn't seen it for a long time. When Liangchen saw Chen Yan, he stood up excitedly, his fluffy tail wagging behind him, and trotted over with his ears pricked up.

It spun in circles under Chen Yan's feet, rubbing its not-so-short back against her lap. The corners of Chen Yan's mouth involuntarily curved up, stroking its thick back hair.

"How did you get here, did Adolf bring you here?" she asked softly, and Yoshiki watched as she tilted her head, as if carefully sorting out every word.

"I brought him here. ”

Colonel Lance stood beside Liangchen at some point. He put his hands in the trouser pockets of his regular clothes, and in such an atmosphere, he also showed a different kind of relaxation than usual.

Chen Yan immediately got up, "Colonel." ”

Lance looked at the starry moon-like Quinn not far away, "You don't have to feel guilty."

She lowered her head, and yes, she had been feeling guilty in her heart since Quinn was injured.

"People in the special mission unit, they are lucky to be able to retire alive, he is lucky", Colonel Lance's voice flowed in soft music, "can live until retirement." ”
