Chapter 24: Human Understanding
The professor's surname was Lai, and in the face of the student's gaze, his face was like ashes, and he finally shook his head and sighed: "I'm like you, this is beyond my comprehension. ”
Xia Xi pulled out all the sutures, and the wounds on his face no longer needed to be bandaged.
After all, the teachers and students are all highly intelligent people, and at this time, it is becoming more and more clear that they are involved in a very confidential incident, which may pose a threat to their own safety.
Seeing the broken corpse may have been taboo, and they wondered if it could be the product of a military experiment. But how could the military test a useless middle-aged cadre of the town government? The two male classmates knew Chen Yongge, and they were already in the village when he went to the village to stabilize public opinion, and his biggest impression at that time was mediocrity.
Now witnessing the incredible regenerative healing abilities of the incident handlers, the most they think about is how to get out safely.
Xia Xi knew how to shut up the elite with a family and a job forever, so she gathered the four of them together and started to do work, while Lou Lanfeng walked downstairs and called Meng Ying.
Although it was early in the morning, Meng Ying's voice couldn't hear any emotion: "The company is indeed gradually strengthening your genes, which is a very realistic need, and it is beneficial to you." ”
Lou Lanfeng also tried to control his emotions, but he could still hear anger in his low voice: "Who gave you the power to change my genes without authorization, I just want to live as an ordinary human being, why didn't you inform you in advance of the changes?" ”
Meng Ying sighed: "You signed a contract with the company, but it was Lou Lanyu who signed it, and besides, it has been changed at the beginning, what's wrong with changing it for the better?" ”
Lou Lanfeng was speechless, and many times he couldn't completely deny that he was Lou Lanyu. But this is obviously a clever approach, and it would be shameless for Jiang Chen to understand the problem in this way.
But Meng Ying does not represent Jiang Chen, what she said may just be her own understanding, Lou Lanfeng can't chase the wind and catch the shadow and lose her temper.
In the end, Lou Lanfeng said: "I understand now, we don't have a different understanding of time, but we don't understand the word human anymore, I'm afraid I am not a human in your eyes for a long time." ”
Lou Lanfeng hung up the phone directly, and he didn't answer when Meng Ying called again. He noticed that Meng Ying didn't ask him what injuries he had suffered.
When they returned upstairs, Xia Xi's work seemed to have been completed, and the faces of the four of them were much more soothing. The female student even smiled when she saw Lou Lanfeng: "It seems that you are a super soldier!" ”
Lou Lanfeng also smiled at her: "I'll fly to you next time!" ”
The four teachers and students were stunned and looked at each other.
Professor Lai cleared his throat and continued what he had not finished: "This substance is difficult to define, it is impossible to judge whether it is inorganic or organic, but it is mixed with another substance, and after testing, it should be the excrement of living organisms, because the quantity is very small, there is no way to specifically determine what type of organism it belongs to." But one thing is for sure, this organism has a relatively high level of copper ions, so it is possible that its blood is blue. ”
There is only one blue-blooded animal on the earth, and that is the horseshoe crab, which is a very ancient arthropod, and this person who studies biology must know that Lou Lanfeng did not interject.
Professor Lai continued: "The animals that are rich in copper ions are extremely ancient, and the only survivors are horseshoe crabs, which live in the ocean and feed on all kinds of carcasses. We also considered whether the collected specimens were contaminated, after all, there are many birds in recent times, and it is common for them to be contaminated with feces, but further laboratory tests have ruled out this possibility. ”
Xia Xi asked him, "You have been investigating for so long, what is the target you are looking for?" ”
"The target we envisioned should be a flying creature, quite ancient, perhaps oviparous, and we used to think that these liquid drieds were post-hatch residues," Professor Lai said. ”
Lou Lanfeng interjected: "Isn't that similar to a pterodactyl?" ”
Professor Lai was a little embarrassed, but still admitted: "It's like that." ”
Lou Lanfeng didn't know what agreement Xia Xi had reached with them, so he finally said goodbye and let them rest earlier.
Lou Lanfeng said to Xia Xi: "The blood on my clothes is dry, it is uncomfortable and smells bad, I want to change it." ”
Lou Lanfeng took off his blood-stained clothes and burned them. In the cold night wind, he was naked, and the flames danced in his eyes. Eventually, he tore off the bandage on his shoulder and threw it into the fire, and the wound on his shoulder was almost healed, leaving a tender scar.
Xia Xi stood behind him and watched all this, his face solemn.
The two of them didn't feel sleepy, and simply went up the mountain to deal with the scene of the burning of the corpse.
When they returned to the village, it was almost dawn, and the two of them washed up and slept until noon, only to learn that Professor Lai had left early in the morning with his students.
There were no further instructions from the company, and the two were on standby.
In the daytime, the scenery of Dagu Village is ordinary, but there is always something desirable for outsiders to enjoy the scenery of the mountains, and the two of them strolled up the mountain, one to relax, and the other to find a place to avoid people's eyes and talk about what has happened in the past few days.
Lou Lanfeng asked Xia Xi: "Doesn't the company have an official name for those things underground?" It is also convenient to communicate with each other. ”
Xia Xi said: "Our consistent tradition is not to recognize the existence of something and never give it a name, and the title itself is to recognize its existence. ”
Lou Lanfeng raised the bar with her: "Ghosts don't exist, aren't they also named?" ”
Xia Xi glanced at him: "How do you know that it doesn't exist?" She continued: "But after all, we have had a lot of actual contact, although the company did not rush to officially name, there is still a common name in private: Taoyuan people." ”
Lou Lanfeng was disdainful: "Is there such a stinky Taoyuan Village?" Why don't you call it a stinky man or a ghost man? ”
Xia Xi said: "At present, I don't know if it's friend or foe, how can I give this kind of name, to be honest, they are not even human beings, so why care about who they are called." ”
Lou Lanfeng: "If there are any common enemies of mankind, I think they are none other than disease and death, their hostility is already obvious, maybe it is only because they have no ability to destroy humanity in one fell swoop that they have the current compromise situation." ”
Xia Xi also said: "Last night's events are very representative, it seems that they are trying to inhabit the human body, this kind of thing is not only happening here, but recent events have this trend." ”
The two of them found a high place and sat down, and Lou Lanfeng said: "When it comes to war, human beings are extremely experienced, and I believe that human beings are also making relevant preparations. Keeping the peace while fighting the army is a lot of things in the past. ”
Xia Xi said: "Taoyuan people have the ability to read thoughts, and it is difficult for us humans to hide from them, maybe you have a nightmare in the middle of the night, that is, they read the brain, and they don't know it." ”
Lou Lanfeng remembered Cheng Tianjiao's secret about the establishment of the alliance, and suddenly felt a little unreliable, the Taoyuan people may have existed longer than human beings, with their unique abilities, how could human beings be able to keep secrets? Could it be that when the high-level made this plan, it was based on the strategic vision that the Taoyuan people did not have to spy on the news? This is, of course, ridiculous.
She turned her head and asked Lou Lanfeng, "You don't seem to know anything about your recovery ability?" ”
Lou Lanfeng shook his head: "I don't know what else they did to me, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery next time." ”
Xia Xi asked him, "What other abilities do you hope to have?" ”
Lou Lanfeng: "The golden gun will not fall and will not be leaked for a long time!" ”
Xia Xi: "Phew! ”
