Chapter Twenty-Six: Mutated Creatures
The holiday ended soon, and Zhang Jiqian also returned to the laboratory to continue learning rune knowledge with Professor Hu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The research center of Bencheng is co-located with the old Bencheng Institute of Chemical Physics, and many of the scientific instruments of the old era can still be used today. However, a lot of living areas have been added and renovated, and part of the original huge underground laboratory has been converted into an entertainment area, which has become the base of the military and research center in Bincheng.
Although the interior has been more humane, there are still layers of guards and sentry posts outside, and the entrance to the base is a chest wall made of two sandbags, on which are set up squad light machine guns, typical of wartime troops.
Not far from the base, there is the beautiful Star Bay of Bincheng City. The crescent-shaped coastline connects the base of Junwubin City at the bottom end, and the "Castle Hotel" built by a famous real estate group in the old era at the other end. This super five-star hotel is built to look like a medieval castle in the West, and it can be regarded as a famous tourist attraction in Ben Thanh. In the past, many tourists liked to take pictures here, but for most working-class people, it was just to take pictures outside.
Now this famous classic of the old era has become the headquarters of the Hunters' Association in Ben Thanh.
On the rooftop at the top of the castle, the wind was very strong, and Qu Wenlong stood by the antique female wall, looking at a ray of golden light shining out from under the gap in the clouds in the distance. Hidden by a lead-gray radiation cloud, the golden light was like a holy light shining from heaven.
Today is another radiation cloud weather, and whenever these lead-gray clouds obscure the sky, there will be strong radiation on the ground, so the meteorological department can be said to be one of the few departments in the old era that are still in an important position and play a role.
If they receive a weather forecast about radiation clouds, people know to close their doors and windows and hide in their homes, while soldiers on patrol and duty need to be injected with anti-radiation agents or wear protective clothing. At this time, the city will become more depressed, and not even a single bird can be seen.
The strong wind pulled back the long hair of the purple-haired woman beside Qu Wenlong, Qu Wenlong held the back of his head with both hands, spread his body, and enjoyed the blowing of the cold north wind, he neither wore protective clothing nor injected anti-radiation injections. Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is enjoying this kind of ghost weather that is enough to cause serious harm to ordinary people.
"Zi Ran, is it necessary to mobilize so many resources to check that kid?" Standing next to Qu Wenlong was the purple-haired woman who came to Bincheng on a plane with him.
"Yes." The woman named Purple Dye closed her eyes, her chin raised slightly, and her cheeks met the biting north wind.
"We and the military are not antagonistic after all."
"What, you're starting to get into trouble?"
Qu Wenlong didn't answer this question, but turned his gaze to the sky light cast between the clouds in the distance.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Zi Ran's eyes were closed, but she knew what Qu Wenlong was looking at.
"It's not that I'm afraid of trouble, but I don't think it's necessary, the world is chaotic enough."
"It feels like you've changed since you were injured once."
Qu Wenlong looked at the sky for a long time. Have you changed? Possibly.
Since experiencing a vicious battle outside the city, Qu Wenlong feels that he has become much more depressed. The master of the Buddhist Sect, the head of the military and martial arts, and one of the top masters in the so-called hunter organization, actually had no resistance before that person. How long do you have to cultivate before you get to that point?
"Although it may be a runemaster, there is no need to look too carefully. Even if Junwu violated the rules and dragged a rune master over, it would not be a big deal, and I also owe Yang Chengwu a favor. Qu Wenlong decided to remind the women around him.
"Headquarters needs an explanation, doesn't it?"
Qu Wenlong nodded.
"Because of my intuition."
Hearing such an almost joking answer, Qu Wenlong's expression became a little more serious. No one knows the woman's real name, and from the day she joined the Hunters Guild, her registered name was Shizome. From an inconspicuous person of abilities other than appearance, he rose like a comet to become one of the most famous twelve evil spirits among hunters. In addition to this, she is also a runemaster. The intuition of a high-level runemaster is something that any experienced person with ability is willing to trust. This woman's intuition is much more convincing than coming up with a lot of evidence.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"But I've also read his information, and the military doesn't keep him secretive very much, and anyone who has a little relationship with the army can get in touch with him. He didn't even ask for anything, and he didn't look like a very special person. ”
"This is what makes him different, otherwise how do you think you should keep it a secret and throw it into the underground bunker of the military force and lock it up? But have you forgotten? Hu Shimin, the madman, once shouted and said that even if he was detained, he would be detained in the military. ”
"There is a shortage of rune masters on the military side, and if you meet good seedlings, it doesn't mean anything."
"No, if there are a few rune masters in the military who are not rice buckets, then Hu Shimin is definitely one. If I can't look at it, he won't look at it, and vice versa. ”
In the military laboratory, Zhang Jiqian didn't know that he had been honored to be targeted by such a weighty person among the hunters.
"Today's line is still like that." Hu Shimin held his glasses and praised Zhang Jiqian, who was working hard.
Walking the line is the most training that Zhang Jiqian does every day. The process of releasing the nian qi out of the body and running it according to a certain trajectory is like creating with a paintbrush, and the nian qi is the ink on the tip of the pen. In the beginning, it was very difficult to draw a simple figure like a straight line or a right angle with mindfulness. In addition to the lines, there are also requirements for which strokes are thick and which are thin.
From the perspective of painting, Zhang Jiqian did not do a good job, and many lines looked like children's graffiti. Professor Hu often sneered on the sidelines,
"Okay, you? Otherwise, let's transfer you to the combat unit, I think it will be useless to train you. ”
said this, Lao Hu's heart blossomed, and he couldn't wait to frame Zhang Jiqian's "works". It was seen by several scientists in the institute:
"Old Hu, as for it? Is this thing making you happy like this? Which rune master is not better at drawing casually than him? ”
"Runemaster? He has only been in contact with runes for less than a month, so I will briefly explain the principle of runes, release the mind qi out of the body to form lines, and he can make it! How long did your scrap wood last? ”
When Lao Hu said a word, a large number of scientists in the research center were dumbfounded.
"Lao Hu, don't blow the air, this is not a child's house, if it is really like what you said, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of our military troops is not a little bit of a star."
"When did I, Hu Shimin, say nonsense? If you don't believe me, I'll come to the lab to show you something! ”
"Let's go! The iron plucked today, let's see his baby pimple. ”
"Want to see it? Think beautifully, before I raise this kid, none of you want to keep interfering! ”
"This old Hu, I think it's a poor man who has gotten a dog's head gold, and he doesn't feel at ease during the day!"
"Hahaha..."
Among scientists, Zhang Jiqian has also become a small celebrity. But poor Zhang Jiqian didn't know anything, and thought that he was really doing it, and he was drawing lines there every day. After returning from vacation, Zhang Jiqian's mind made a breakthrough, and the principle of shooting water arrows is actually similar to that of the line. The ability to read has been improved by one level, and it is of course easy and enjoyable to do these basic exercises again. Even Lao Hu's poisonous tongue said "well done" for the first time.
The master and apprentice were halfway through when the red light of the access control flashed, which was that there was something urgent outside to find someone inside. Hu Shimin's temper is known to outsiders, and generally no one comes to disturb the old man when he closes the door.
When I opened the door, there was a military herald standing outside.
"Professor Hu, Instructor Yang Chengwu asked you to take a look, the problem is more tricky."
Seeing that the herald's expression was more solemn, Lao Hu was not embarrassed to lose his temper. Nodding, he motioned for the herald to take him over. Zhang Jiqian's gossip heart got up, and he also followed behind to take a look. The herald glanced at Zhang Jiqian, glanced at the B3 research institute logo on his chest, and didn't say anything.
By the time Hu Shimin and Zhang Jiqian arrived at the warehouse on the second basement floor of the experimental area, there were already several experts there, and in addition to the experts, there were also a group of military soldiers, holding guns that Zhang Jiqian had never seen before.
In the middle of the warehouse is an all-steel oversized iron cabinet, with only one side opening, and there are several fence gates made of wrist-thick steel bars at the opening, and inside is a layer of tempered glass more than ten centimeters later. Through the glass, you can see the inside of the iron cabinet.
Zhang Jiqian took a look curiously.
Bang! A big head hit the glass, and before Zhang Jiqian could see clearly, he heard the screeching sound of something sharp scratching the glass. From the top right to the bottom left of the glass, a few white marks were scratched up, and it was a pair of claws the size of a plate that caught these white marks.
Zhang Jiqian was frightened and took a big step back, almost sitting on the ground.
"Damn, I forgot that I was scared to death through bulletproof glass and steel fences."
After fixing his gaze and taking a closer look, he found that it was a gray striped tiger inside. Tigers are gray too? What a rare species. Hu Shimin also stood a little closer, stared at the glass for a long time, turned his head and stumbled to ask Professor Sun in the center.
"It's a... American Shorthair? ”
