Ninghai City, Old Town.

After Lu Xuan drove against the parking lot of the old square, he entered a small alley and walked carelessly all the way.

There are many old people on the side of the road in the alley, some are playing chess, some are drinking tea and walking birds, it is very lively.

However, Lu Xuan was obviously not in the mood to appreciate these, so he just buried his head in the road.

After walking for about five minutes, he turned three alleys and alleys, and then resisted the front of a long-established Chinese medicine pharmacy.

Lu Xuan glanced at it and walked in.

The pharmacy is very quiet, there is only one medicine boy and one customer who comes here to buy medicine. Other than that, there was no one else in the pharmacy.

The pharmacy is very shabby, and even the cabinets containing medicinal herbs are a little old.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not like Western medicine, many people go directly to the hospital when they are sick these days, and even Western medicine is taken for cold and fever, and few people use traditional Chinese medicine.

Because the Chinese medicine works quickly, it is much better to sleep after taking a cold and taking a pill, and people with good physique are directly cured. But this kind of rush to achieve Western medicine only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

The speed of traditional Chinese medicine will be much slower, but it will be completely removed from the root of the disease. This is also the reason why in the era when Western medicine was so prosperous, Chinese medicine could still survive without being destroyed.

However, there are still a few people who come to buy Chinese medicine these years, and it can be seen from the fact that this time-honored pharmacy is in disrepair and only one patient comes to buy medicinal herbs.

"Sir, may I ask what herbs do you need?" Grasping the medicinal materials for the only customer, the medicine boy immediately raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xuan, and asked with a somewhat respectful expression.

Lu Xuan didn't speak immediately, and only after the customer who had bought the medicinal materials left, did he walk over and slowly said, "I want three coins of Tiannanxing, six coins to pierce the broken stone, one coin of agricultural auspiciousness, three coins of acute seeds, and half a tiger bone." ”

"Sir, we have the first few medicinal materials you mentioned? Although tiger bone is a flavored medicinal material, the state has banned it from being used in medicine for fear of indiscriminate killing by poachers, are you mistaken? The medicine boy asked with a blank look on his face.

Lu Xuan shook his head and replied in a firm tone: "Make no mistake, what I want is a tiger bone, if you don't have it here, then I can only go to another house." ”

Lu Xuan was about to leave, and at this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came out, and said: "Tiger bones are not only expensive but also difficult to find, and some large pharmacies may not have them, I don't know what Mr. bought this thing for?" ”

"Do you know where to sell it?" Lu Xuan turned around and asked with some joy, and promised: "If Mr. can tell me where to find the tiger bone, the contemptible person will thank him again." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xuan took out three hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and put them on the counter, and the left corner of the top banknote was folded at an angle of forty-five degrees. But the corners of the fold are pressed so flat that you can't see it at all if you don't look closely.

The shopkeeper glanced at the three hundred yuan, stared at Lu Xuan carefully, and finally said leisurely: "This thing is very expensive, the owner only sells it to those who need it, I don't know what you want to do with it?" ”

"Strengthen your body and protect your family and country." Lu Xuan's face was solemn, and he said in a thick and powerful tone.

The middle-aged man nodded, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked softly, "That number?" ”

"There is no number." Lu Xuan shook his head and said. At the same time, he reached into his pocket and grinded a medal out of his pocket.

Seeing the golden dragon pattern, the middle-aged man's face was shocked, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Xuanyuan clan?" ”

Lu Xuan didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Please be seated inside." The middle-aged man opened the cabinet passage, made an inviting gesture, and said to Lu Xuan in a somewhat respectful voice.

Lu Xuan followed the shopkeeper through the front desk cabinet and arrived in the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, the middle-aged man immediately stood up straight and gave Lu Xuan a military salute with his head held high. Then he asked, "Comrade, what do you want to know?" ”

In fact, this Chinese medicine shop is a secret contact point stationed in Ninghai, and it is also an intelligence center, which is exclusively used by special forces.

"I want to know about the Xuanyuan team that is carrying out the matter about the scientific research institution, can you explain it to me in detail?" Lu Xuan directly asked what he wanted to know.

The middle-aged man nodded and said slowly: "I know the name of this scientific research institution, called the 'Infinite Possibilities' Scientific Research Research Center, which specializes in the study of various genes and cells of the human body. There are a total of five members of the Xuanyuan team dispatched for this mission, led by the deputy captain Xiaohu, and the mission is still in progress, and there is no further news at present. ”

Lu Xuan frowned when he heard this, the uneasy emotion in his heart became a little stronger, and he asked again: "Then will they come over every day to contact?" ”

"Yesterday was normal, a young man codenamed Nighthawk came over. But no one has come here today, and it's almost time to contact me now, and if I don't come in half an hour, I'll go and investigate. The middle-aged man replied.

"So?" Lu Xuan's eyebrows furrowed and he muttered, his face faintly heavy.

The middle-aged man saw all this in his eyes and asked with curiosity: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Lu Xuan shook his head, but his mood became heavier and heavier, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and asked the middle-aged man again: "Where is the scientific research center that Xiaohu and the others want to protect, can you give me the specific address?" ”

"Well, the Infinite Possibilities Research Center is in a small village called Longji Village on the outskirts of Xingning District, Ninghai." The middle-aged man didn't even think about it, so he directly reported the address. Because he could see that Lu Xuan seemed to be very anxious.

After telling the address, the middle-aged man immediately said loudly: "If you want to go over, take me with you, I also want to go over to check the situation together." ”

"Okay, let's go, my car is in the parking lot of the old square." Lu Xuan nodded happily.

The two of them immediately left the pharmacy, quickly came to the parking lot of the old square, picked up the car, and drove towards their destination.

On the way, Lu Xuan asked the middle-aged man to tell the middle-aged man about his understanding of this scientific research institution and Xiaohu's recent situation in more detail.

When the middle-aged man heard Lu Xuan's request, he immediately explained what he knew: "Little fox, they have been on the task for a total of three days, and they have had a fierce fight with the killers arranged by the Dao Yihe family in the first two days. However, the combat effectiveness of the Xuanyuan clan was very, very strong, and they killed more than a dozen enemies. The bodies of those killers were all disposed of by me later. ”

"Three days?" Lu Xuan was shocked, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Xiaohu only came to him on the second day of the conference, that is, yesterday. At that time, she said that the other teammates came to Ninghai to perform the mission first, and I am afraid that they had already fought in the mission at that time, right?

Lu Xuan thought that Xiaohu must not want him to worry too much, so he chose to hide these things that he had fought with the killers of the Dao Yihe family, and instead said that he had just arrived in Ninghai to carry out a mission, in order to let him worry less.

"Go on." Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's heart became a little heavier, and he vaguely felt that the task was not an ordinary difficulty, and he couldn't wait to speak out.

"The Infinite Possibilities Research Center has recently made a major discovery in human genetic research, and if it can continue to overcome the difficulties, it may be able to change the course of many medical fields in the future, and it may be possible to eliminate even cancer cells. Do you know what that means? It means a major change in human life! The middle-aged man's voice almost trembled when he said this, and the last sentence was shouted directly.

Not only was he shocked, but even Lu Xuan was a little shocked.

"If nothing else, let's just say that light can kill cancer cells, which means that a lot of money is rolling in and piling up. You should know that there is no drug that completely kills cancer cells, and the treatment is only chemotherapy. How many people have spent millions of dollars to save their lives, can you imagine what kind of sensation this research will bring if it is successful? The middle-aged man was still explaining the importance of the study in a surprised tone.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, no wonder the above would send five members of the Xuanyuan clan to carry out the mission, if this news came out, no matter which force wanted to take it for himself.

With the results of this research in hand, you can build a financial giant. In addition to being used to make money, the research results can also be used to make a wider range of effects, and can even threaten international security.

Assuming that this research is developed in reverse, then it is possible to develop very powerful bacteria specifically to form new biological and chemical weapons. Once it is thrown into war, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

For example, if two countries that are not very close to each other on weekdays, once a certain country gets the results of this research and opens up its biological and chemical weapons, and secretly sneaks into other countries to drop them, and the antidote is only available in its own country, what will be the consequences?

Maybe there is no need to even fight, and the people of that country will riot first, and the whole country will be torn apart!

It's no wonder that after the Dao Iga family found out, they would send so many killers over, if Lu Xuan himself knew that other state agencies had researched this kind of thing, he would have gone crazy and snatched it back.

"It's a pity that the chess game is a bad move, that damn island researcher leaked the secret, and they wanted to plunder, so they sent someone from the Iga family to rob it. Damn, when I have no one in China? The middle-aged man gritted his teeth slightly and said angrily. looks like he can't wait to dismantle the secret of the island country researcher.

The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths to calm the anger in his cavity, and then added: "You also know that the people of the island country have a very bad temperament, and they are cheap bones who like to stir up trouble. Since ancient times, they have been fond of invading other countries. Our China has been invaded by them since the Tang Dynasty, and in the last century, they even invaded China for eight years, and they were so arrogant that they did not hesitate to challenge more than a dozen countries, including China, to detonate World War II. Think about it, if this thing falls into the hands of the islanders, what terrible things will happen in the future? ”

When Lu Xuan heard these things, his brows furrowed even deeper. He knew the importance of things, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

The more precious the thing and the more fierce the competition, the more dangerous the little fox is.
