Hu Yuli smiled bitterly: "We did report the theft of laboratory drugs, but it was the staff who took advantage of the chaos. We did not recognize the gravity of the situation at first and focused on the search for drugs - a direction that proved to be completely wrong. ”

"Really?"

Offstage, Zhang Yingying accidentally twisted the wound and grinned again. But she didn't easily believe Quantum's claims. On the one hand, it is out of trust in its own intelligence channels, and on the other hand, it is also a distrust of Quantum's consistent approach.

She whispered to Susan: "These people have always been cold, they have a burner and a dark blue platform in their hands, and they have always ignored us, but today they kowtow to the ground, and there must be fraud." ”

Susan nodded, then shook her head again: "It depends on what the president says." ”

Hu Yuli's explanation must not be able to convince the public, and the audience questioned it again and again, making this business tycoon sweat hotly, and gradually overwhelmed.

At this time, Ouyang Chen tapped the countertop, and the sound was not loud, but the entire venue quickly quieted down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we are not convinced by Quantum's explanation, let's not waste time on this. If you want to get the answer, find it yourself. Since Quantum wants the association to intervene in this matter and help them deal with the spread of the 'virus', it should show corresponding sincerity. ”

"Natural, natural." No matter what Hu Yuli asked, he would agree to it first.

Ouyang Chen looked at the audience and said calmly: "The activities of the association are not mandatory, and the organization of activities also requires the consent of more than half of the members. Now, I would like to explain the reasons for supporting the campaign. Quite simply, according to reliable sources, this 'human-faced spider' was the first batch of living experimental materials transported from that 'portal'. ”

Few people in the audience reacted:

"Portal, which portal?"

It was Hu Yuli, his pupils dilated instantly, and his whole body went up, but his ass was out of place, Ouyang Chen's cold eyes swept over, killing his sudden impulse, and also making him collapse in his seat, unable to get up again.

It was also at this moment that the participants finally digested the most critical information, and in the sudden explosion of the roar, someone jumped up directly and asked loudly:

"Ouyang, which portal are you talking about?"

Ouyang Chen lifted the frame again: "The source of the aberrant species, the starting point of the new era." Thanks to Quantum, the 'portal' that we have always suspected but has not confirmed its existence can finally be locked. ”

"Where, where?"

"It can be determined that it is in the south-central part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, and the association hopes that Quantum can provide specific coordinates and information, of course, this requires further negotiations. Now, let's get back to business. ”

Ouyang Chen's eyes swept over everyone's faces: "There are martial artists, bloodline wizards, priests and monks here, and in the new era, we will become awakened together." In the past 50 years, our strength has grown, our capabilities have become stronger, and there are our own efforts, but there is also the inexplicable 'X factor'.

"Why, since 2059, the original insurmountable limits of power have suddenly been released? Why is there really a qualitative gap between us and normal people? Why do the legendary abilities manifest themselves in us one by one? What did we give? What's in it? Can there be an equity between giving and receiving? Are we truly in control of our own destiny, or are we in control of everything by some unknowable deity?

"We are eager to know this secret, and we have been searching for the root cause, but there has been no answer. And now, the path that once seemed cut off has suddenly cleared the obstacles and put it back in front of us. I don't want to miss this opportunity, and I think, so do you. ”

There was a rumbling drum in the venue, but Ouyang Chen's words were still straight and calm:

"Initially, the code name I set for this association activity was 'Breaking the Net'. The invisible devil has woven a great net trying to prey on this metropolis, and we need to cut it off.

"But for now, I'm going to call it a 'signpost.'" In the last few decades of exploration, we have found nothing. Until the emergence of format theory, the first page of human pursuit of individual evolution was opened, which is the theory of ordinary people, and we, as awakened people, have fallen behind, which is inevitable and will be a little embarrassing.

"As the Awakened, we need to quicken our pace, we should be guides, we need to seize every opportunity, make a brave expedition, and then tell others what the road ahead is and where humanity should go - the way forward is with us, and the glory will always be in our hands!"

The sound of the arrival of the tram woke Ronan up.

Once the withdrawal reaction is turned on, it is not so easy to pass. At the end of the day, Ronan's 5 major courses changed to 5 classrooms, spanning 4 teaching buildings, and going back and forth between the north and south campuses.

In the past, when my physical condition was good, I didn't think that today, after running a round, Ronan was already drowsy, sitting on the school tram, and he was in a semi-comatose state.

He patted his cheek, lifted his spirits, and slowly got out of the car.

It's 3:40 p.m., and it's time to enter the club activities, Ronan's destination is the Precision Electronics Hobby Club, where the technical experts of various electronics manufacturing companies have been invited for many years to carry out maintenance teaching, and it is also a paradise for D.I.Y enthusiasts.

Ronan's purpose in going here is naturally to repair the damaged imitation paper soft screen, the habitual tool damage, and the feeling of being restricted everywhere, even worse than the withdrawal reaction.

However, his luck seems to have run out in the morning's "psychic painting", and the Precision Electronics Interest Club has already made the maintenance and teaching business fly, and the business is booming. Today, a super bull in the industry was invited, repairers, enthusiasts, and help-seekers to fill the spacious business hall.

He squeezed in the crowd for twenty minutes, that is, he had just received his appointment number.

In the end, Ronan couldn't stand the crowd in the hall and hid outside to get some fresh air. However, vertigo and an excessively keen sense of intuition were constantly harassing him.

The afternoon sun pierced the shade of the street trees and fell on Ronan's face. It was the first time he felt that the autumn sun was so hot that half of his cheeks were almost burning, and he could even smell the scorching smell of the skin and flesh.

There is no doubt that this is an illusion.

Ronan stopped on the side of the road, standing like a nail, his lips squirming slightly, the sixteen-character mantra from his mouth into his heart, and the icy spring flowed in his throat, gradually washing away the distracting thoughts of the trance.

Just a little better, before the half-drooping eyelids, there was a shadow crossing.

Ronan Huo Ran opened his eyes, but the person waving his hand was taken aback, and he took a half step back, his elbow sank, blocking between the two.

After the action was done, the man also found that he had overreacted, and smiled awkwardly: "Classmate, are you okay?" ”
