Chapter 101: Terrible Waves
"That Zhao Xufei is really crazy!"
When Qing Dai heard the name, she subconsciously felt that sticky discomfort, but she still asked, "What happened?" โ
He Xiaowan picked up the hot tea, as if she wanted to get some warmth, it was obviously a standard temperature room, she shivered: "Just now, most of the upper echelons of the capital participated in the latest hearing of an academy of sciences, which was about stimulating the human test of the ability. The host is Zhao Xufei. โ
Qing Dai suddenly raised her head and stared at her in surprise: "He? The Academy of Sciences is this, do you want to turn the dark into the light? โ
He Xiaowan snorted coldly: "Of course it's not just that, although I have pulled the power in my hands and my allies to suppress the Academy of Sciences, they have not been afraid." So, my guess is that the current progress can no longer satisfy their appetite, and they need to get more test subjects and financial support to scale up, and gaining public and upper level recognition is the first step. โ
Qing Dai frowned and listened, thought for a while, and said, "Since it is a hearing, then it should be officially and publicly solicited opinions, right?" The decision-makers up there won't be unaware......" She stopped.
He Xiaowan looked at her with a wry smile: "Even you can think of it, everyone understands, but this research blueprint is too big and beautiful." At present, the stability of society is their only remaining conscience, and once there are enough interests, this balance will be destroyed at any time, and perhaps the fortress of Kyoto will suddenly collapse, or it may not be. โ
The two women looked at each other, but they exchanged information other than to exchange information. There's really nothing you can do. There is no way, if the Academy of Sciences played a conspiracy under the table before, as long as it was exposed by means of exposure, it could be cracked down, but now that they have completed the primitive accumulation, it has become an upright conspiracy, relying on the desire and power of the hearts of the people, making it impossible to start.
He Xiaowan was able to stay for a short time, and after relaying the news, she said goodbye and left.
Qingdai's original plan to go to the hospital to see her mother was also delayed. She took a deep breath and found the small lounge on the top floor of the large house. Take a seat on that soft rug. The meditation that had been interrupted for a long time began. She felt like she had a premonition of a dangerous future.
It's not that she's too careful, although the Academy's previous methods are very shady, but it controls the incident on a very small scale. Now it's thoroughly out for everyone to get involved. Not to mention the fact that the Academy of Sciences is profitable. Nor do I wonder if there is any further conspiracy to cover up at the Academy of Sciences. As long as she thinks of the artificial powerhouses who have brought so many disasters, Qing Dai has always been quite calm and wants to scold in her heart: If you don't die, you won't die, big brother.
No matter how much you complain, things are going on irreversibly. Qing Dai could only tell the news at the collective dinner in the evening, in exchange for the fact that everyone present was so busy that they almost disappeared in the next few days.
The people who are worried and suspicious of the Academy of Sciences are naturally not only Qingdai and He Xiaowan, but they can't stop more people from pursuing strength and life at all.
Families and political groups of all sizes held emergency meetings, and the contents of the hearings at the Academy of Sciences were fully distributed to every corner of Kyoto through various channels.
"Damn, can you transform ordinary people into supernatural people? Then I'm going to be the first to go, and I'm tired of all those supernatural birds! โ
"No, my inside information, although it is still in the experimental stage, but according to the feedback of the volunteers, there is no danger at all, only bad luck, which produces the ability of waste wood."
"Hehe, I'm sure I can't be a waste wood ability, at least I can turn into a fire, right?"
"The beauty you think of, the most you can do is to turn into water, and then talk about it after you toss yourself."
The above is still a preliminary circulation, and the content is basically in line with the facts. It is rumored that this kind of thing has always been terrifying and out of shape to occupy the mainstream, especially the lack of real-time network, basically relying on oral transmission, and the wisdom of the masses is all to add bricks and tiles, with Kyoto's unique way of thinking, strange dialogues have appeared:
"I said, do you know the new decree of the state now? Empower the whole people! The original supernatural is not enough, the latest drugs developed by the Academy of Sciences can develop the potential of the human body, and one shot will make you an all-powerful supernatural! โ
"Just blow it, I've heard here a long time ago, this is going to be conscripted, do you think you can waste that medicinal herb? The country wants elites, or not only the process of development, you will be tossed to death. โ
"That's it, I've also heard that there have been people in the real yร n room, and those who are missing have all gone and never returned, and the dosage of the medicine has been calculated."
"When Lao Tzu waited for it to come out publicly, he was the first to steal a finished product or formula, and the current pharmaceutical industry is still reliable!"
"All you hear are rumors, but my uncle has experienced it personally, he was arrested by the Academy of Sciences, do you know where those supernatural stimulation drugs came from? It's all extracted from zombies, when the sky changes, everyone's physique is different, those who become supernatural are lucky, and those who become zombies are unlucky, so in fact, as long as they survive that while, they will also become superpowers! โ
"You're saying that developing abilities requires taking the risk of becoming a zombie?"
"Isn't it?"
Rumors filled all the work and rest areas, people rushed to tell each other, and the otherwise somewhat lifeless social atmosphere began to accumulate the power of fanaticism.
At the same time, Qing Dai looked nervously at the two teenagers in front of her, and the few isorice crackers left in the schoolbag were placed in front of her.
I don't know how long it has been, but the two almost cute faces are soaked with sweat, and then I opened my eyes. Without waiting for them to speak, Qingdai covered the towel: "Wipe your sweat first, eat some rice crackers, don't be in a hurry at this time." โ
The two of them succumbed to such violent suppression, obediently took care of themselves, swallowed the rice crackers quickly, and felt that the energy was quickly replenished, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Ou Hui pressed his younger brother and looked up at the person in front of him: "The Academy of Sciences is the darkest place, and the others are all foggy, and a few white colors are also obscured by gray fog, we can only confirm the approximate location......"
"Still. We can look at them one by one and get up close and be able to confirm it! Oops! Ou Ming hugged the painful door of the head and didn't dare to speak again.
Qing Dai withdrew her hand: "Okay, it was originally for you to move your muscles and bones to verify the effectiveness of your cultivation." Your coverage has now exceeded the Kyoto Safety Zone, which is commendable, but don't worry about the rest! โ
"We're adults!" Ou Hui said unwillingly.
Qingdai knocked her too: "Say that you are small, not only physically, but also psychologically." Are Kyoto the villages and towns we have walked through? It is not an exaggeration to say that Crouching Tiger is a hidden dragon. Who's going to let you filter them one by one? That's what you're capable of now. It's not as useful as the information in the hands of a few big brothers, at least they can find and adjust powerful partners according to the overall situation, and it's not faster than you to send them to the door one by one? โ
Du Qinyue bared her teeth and grinned: "Okay." Kids. Can you go back to my house? โ
The twins all bowed their faces. The two of them are no longer children. Why do these people keep them as dolls?
It turned out that after Du Qinyue went home to reunite with her parents and reported her safety, she came to live with Qingdai and others, who knew that General Du and Mrs. Du would not be in love. I want to chase him to Xu Sheng's house. Du Qinyue was taken aback, she rebelled and left home very early, but she didn't want to make her parents even more lonely.
If it was a peaceful environment, Du Qinyue would go back to accompany her elders, which was also filial piety, but now she was so tense and chaotic, she needed to run around too much. There was no way, so she pushed the twins, who were always unconscious, out as a shield, so that General Du's wife and the children could pull each other, which could not only have emotional sustenance, but also save them from going out into trouble.
The twin siblings are exquisite, smart and cute, and soon won the love of General Du and his wife, but the two children couldn't stand the life of being taken care of as large babies, and after hearing the rumors, they quickly volunteered to come back, wanting to contribute and "fight", but unfortunately they still failed.
Qing Dai looked at the depressed appearance of the two children, sighed, and then said solemnly: "I am very relieved and happy that you can be so positive, but the situation in the whole of Kyoto is different from other small places. Abilities are not scary, but what is scary is the human heart, which is why we want to protect you well, because you are the future and hope, you know? โ
The twins had reddish eyes, nodded slowly, and obediently left.
Looking at their backs, Qing Dai asked Du Qinyue: "Say, you have never been busy, why do you come back with the two children?" โ
Du Qinyue shrugged her shoulders and smiled: "The current situation, everything I can do has been done, and the rest depends on the efforts of the men, of course I have to come back to accompany you." โ
Qingdai felt that she had something to say, and frowned: "Aren't you a circle?" I always thought you were acting together. โ
"Of course not!" Du Qinyue pouted with some disgust: "My family is mainly from the military department, so many things only need to find a few key points, and the rest are issued from above. And those politicians are in trouble, they have to mediate from beginning to end, ambiguous or not, and they have to avoid some taboos, and those three people are already busy as dogs, hehe. โ
When Qing Dai heard this, she also gave some wax to the man who was suffering from the attributes, and then began to meditate with Du Qinyue. In troubled times, they have to actively prepare.
And what about the three people who were sympathized with by the two ladies? They are gathering in a spacious and elegant office to drink tea.
"Mayor Zhou is really young and promising, living alone and at ease." Zhang Hongjun put down the rare fragrant tea and said in an extremely exaggerated flattering tone.
I saw that on the sofa in the big reception area, Zhang Hongjun, Lian Qingyun, Xu Sheng, and a middle-aged man called Mayor Zhou were sitting around.
Mayor Zhou, who was ridiculed, smiled lightly: "Ah Jun is still so humorous and straightforward. โ
Zhang Hongjun laughed angrily at such an unrelenting bastard, and said to himself: "Uncle Zhou, you won't guess our intention, why bother going around in circles?" โ
Mayor Zhou's steady tea-making action paused slightly, and then continued, but the tone in his mouth was much better: "Yes, I know, but do you think that the current situation is something I can change?" โ
"Didn't let you take the lead!" Zhang Hongjun grabbed his hair, the anxiety of the past few days has made him irritable, and the style of laughing and scolding is gone: "Some of the people we have united. Although it is not a mainstream force, it must be suppressed to suppress the current crazy momentum, otherwise it will ......"
"Or Kyoto will be finished?" Mayor Zhou put down the teapot and looked up and asked.
"Of course it's not over." Lian Qingyun pressed Zhang Hongjun and said in a deep voice: "But how innocent are these survivors from all over the world?" "Once something happens, I'm afraid it's another tragedy that won't survive. This sentence does not need to be spoken, everyone can think of it.
Mayor Zhou drank the tea in his tea bowl in one gulp, rubbed the elegant white porcelain, and said softly: "The tumor must be cut off." โ
"What do you mean?" Zhang Hongjun said with some excitement: "When did you become a radical?" Cut off the tumor? Is this called cutting off the tumor? Those account for ninety percent. People who can't choose. Is it also a cancer? โ
"Not bad!" Mayor Zhou finally put down the tea bowl and made a bang, his eyes changed from lazy to sharp: "You've only been in Kyoto for a few days?" Do you think that the current people are still those bad and bad citizens? Dream! They have been driven crazy by blood, and they are seeking to destroy Miรจ at any time! If it weren't for instinct, they would still be in the illusion of peace. This is the so-called Kyoto of the last pure land. It's no different from cannibalism with people on the outside! โ
Even Qingyun was enraged: "Is this what one of your leaders said?" Just use this reason. Abandon them? Since you can maintain the title of the Pure Land, then there is salvation, what makes you feel. You can give them the death penalty instead of the law!? โ
"I want to ......" a clear and cold voice came out: "Mayor Zhou has long had a tacit understanding with the Zhao family, right?" Although it is a question sentence, anyone can hear the certainty in it.
Mayor Zhou Huo Ran turned his head, only then did he see Xu Sheng, who had never had a sense of zร i, and was shocked to realize that this man, who was almost invisible from people's sight, was like a sharp sword at this moment, cutting through the fog he had laid in an instant.
But at this point, Mayor Zhou didn't know how many winds and waves he had passed, so he naturally wouldn't show any horses' feet, so he only squinted at it, and then said: "This person is very strange, I don't know where he comes from?" โ
Xu Sheng stared at Mayor Zhou with a pair of clear black eyes, and his quiet aura would not be affected at all: "Mayor Zhou's whitewashing is too unsuccessful, and according to my investigation, Mayor Zhou's early stage is almost the same frequency as the Zhao family." Of course, this does not mean anything, but since Mayor Zhou issued several decrees, the number of missing people in Kyoto has also increased several times, and it was not until the hearing the day before yesterday that it stopped. โ
Xu Sheng saw Mayor Zhou's pupil contraction in his eyes, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, and did not drink it, but appreciated it lightly: "Mayor Zhou's kung fu in making tea is good, but the heat is insufficient, and the tea leaves are old." Then the tea bowl fell lightly on the table, without making a sound: "Maybe Mayor Zhou can't get off the thief ship?" I hope you are doing it well. โ
Mayor Zhou held back the panic in his heart, and was deeply jealous of the strange young man in front of him, from the content of his speech to the lofty attitude: "You are from the Qin family?" I said I'm not anyone's person, this position ......"
Xu Sheng stood up and took the information he brought with him: "If the Kyoto family is so easy to be attacked, it is not Mayor Zhou's chance. In that case, good luck. Let's go. โ
Although Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun were equally surprised, they were not so surprised, they knew more about Xu Sheng's hole cards, but at this moment, they could be regarded as letting people see his strength. Mayor Zhou is an upstart in Kyoto, and they have always thought that they can barely communicate better than the old aristocrats, and what the new forces need most is prestige. There are so many people in Kyoto, and the prestige is so good that it is possible to send anyone to the clouds. Unexpectedly, he is still a puppet, or a puppet who is more self-inflicted. Listening to Xu Sheng's description, I'm afraid I'm playing a trick of stepping on a boat.
Seeing the three of them leave like this, Mayor Zhou's face finally changed, and he said eagerly: "Who are you?" If it's not the Qin family, why do you want to go against me! โ
Xu Sheng is too lazy to deal with this kind of person who makes trouble in the middle of his life, he didn't think that it would be very smooth today, but he didn't think that it would be better to be famous when he met, he was very smart and a person was bewitched by the little ghosts around him, and he forgot that his foothold was not at all those big nobles who looked majestic, but real political achievements. It seems that the Qin family is indeed very successful, and it has corrupted a disobedient talent.
Zhang Hongjun's face was discouraged, he thought that the Mayor Zhou he admired could be won immediately, but he didn't listen to Xu Sheng's analysis beforehand, and now he really got his head. So much time wasted. God knows, they're in a race against time!
Lian Qingyun patted Zhang Hongjun on the back and said softly: "Don't be so frustrated, have we touched fewer nails along the way?" And if it weren't for what you said, Xu Sheng wouldn't have followed. The following few of us have to finish running together, don't put on such an expression, go back to accompany the girl when you are disheartened, Du Qinyue must have finished. โ
Zhang Hongjun shuddered and became a little more energetic: "Don't say such a terrible thing, I'll follow honestly." It won't disgrace you, will it? โ
I didn't look at the juggling treasure behind me. Xu Sheng stood in front of a low bungalow and said, "It's here." โ
Zhang Hongjun was stunned for a moment, looked at the information in his hand, and then looked up at the house in front of him: "Are they all different visits today?" โ
Even Qingyun didn't have a point, and went directly to ring the doorbell. Sure enough, Zhang Hongjun recovered and became personable. Shame must not be thrown in front of outsiders. He is still very principled.
"Who?" An old voice sounded from inside the door.
Zhang Hongjun was about to answer, but unexpectedly, Xu Sheng reversed his previous silence and took the lead in replying: "I." Ah Sheng! โ
Soon, the door was opened, and an elderly lady appeared in front of the three of them.
"Ah Sheng! You kid, are you finally willing to come to see us two old men? The old lady's blurred eyes kept looking at Xu Sheng, who was two heads taller than her, and no one could ignore the concern and warmth in her eyes.
Xu Sheng showed a rare warm smile, pulled up the old lady, and walked straight towards the house: "Hello Grandma Bai, I've only been in Kyoto for a few days, and I'm looking for you before I can recover from it." What about Professor Wan? โ
"Sweet mouth and can't speak, are you looking for me or Professor Wan?"
"Gee, aren't you all in this together?"
Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun glanced at each other, confirming that they were "invisible" this time, and the appointed person walked in and closed the door.
The room was not big, and when they came to the living room, they saw a frail old gentleman leaning on the sofa, covered with many blankets, sleeping with his eyes closed. Also, the heating of this house is simply negligible compared to the normal situation they encountered along the way, and it is almost fatal to the old man.
Xu Sheng's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't say anything more after all. According to the information, it is not that the identity of the old man is not enough, but that someone deliberately used the old man's relatives to "tidy up" the old man, and the old man refused the help of many friends and still lived here calmly. It is a person's stubbornness and self-esteem that do not need sympathy to tarnish.
Although everyone had slowed down, the old man who was sleeping lightly still woke up.
"Professor Wan, you're awake." Xu Sheng took the initiative to sit next to the old man and pulled up the blanket that had slipped down.
"Huh? Ah Sheng! There you are. Professor Wan took two seconds to recognize the person, and the old face was full of happy smiles: "It looks even better, is it in love?" โ
"......" The old man is so off-line, is there really no problem? Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun were a little disillusioned.
Xu Sheng was not surprised, and nodded: "Yes, but there is something today, I didn't take her, I will bring it when I go back." โ
"Done! You're a kid who wants it. Professor Wan said happily, "What's the matter?" Was it that hearing? โ
Xu Sheng also grimaced: "That's right, the current situation is that seventy percent of the decision-making level has to support the expansion of the Academy of Sciences, and it is rumored that the drugs are in the process of being made." โ
"The boy of the Zhao family is indeed a genius, better than me back then, better than you!" Professor Wan smiled appreciatively.
Zhang Hongjun couldn't help it: "Professor, you can't be so indulgent, now the Academy of Sciences has become a brainwashing god, only you can suppress those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." โ
Professor Wan looked at Zhang Hongjun: "Hey, there's another nice young man, don't stir up the base, that's very troublesome." โ
Zhang Hongjun felt that the world had collapsed, and he was tired and didn't love.
"Ahem." Xu Sheng interrupted Professor Wan's comic speech and pulled the conversation back: "The current situation is very critical, we have already encountered human trial mistakes along the way, and the city was washed in zombie blood, but here in Kyoto seems to be very confident. And I always feel that the purpose of the Zhao family is definitely not so simple, and the prestige will not be so attractive to them, which is not too similar to their style. โ
Professor Wan glanced at Xu Sheng aggrievedly, the child is older, and it is not fun: "I said, the Zhao family kid is a genius, do you think I am talking about the research results they announced?" The mistake is that he is already using the situation and the human heart to achieve his research goals. โ
All three men were shocked, what does this mean?
Professor Wan didn't sell it: "Actually, their initial idea is no problem, it is not difficult to transform ordinary people into supernatural people, the danger is small, and it can increase people's survival chances, except for the initial stage of causing zombie swarms, there is no other problem, you can let them finish it." However, of course, the Zhao family is not a charity, and I have already found the research materials of several old friends, plus the content of the hearing. Hehe, the Zhao family kid is still tender, and he said the truth unconsciously. โ
Just as Xu Sheng and the others were holding their breath to listen to the lecture, Professor Wan took a slow sip of water before continuing: "The most curious thing about the Zhao family is not a strange person at all, a mutated creature or something, these can be said to be simple, it is just the potential to stimulate under the new magnetic field, the magic is magical, but it is limited." And the best thing is precisely the zombies that are hated by everyone. โ
Even the calm Xu Sheng was a little short of breath, zombie! They've all been fooled?
"What is a zombie? They are free of energy, but they are still alive, which can be said to be a major breakthrough in life science! โ
"What did the Zhao family kid say at the beginning? Zombie bones can filter energy, i.e. from another way, they take on an important natural transformation process! And the current zombies, they are still too low-level, too fragile, according to my calculations, it is estimated that it will take thousands of zombies to gather, and then combined with the current way of operation of the ability energy, there will be significant progress, perhaps, that is the realm of God. โ
The vicissitudes of life fell, and the room was silent. (To be continued......)
