Chapter 153: Academician Xu
On the outskirts of the city, somewhere ten kilometers from the city.
A camp is under construction here. The soldiers were busy building high walls of steel, masonry and other materials collected from all over the place. In a corner of the camp, more than a dozen armored vehicles were neatly parked on a piece of flat land that had been cleared. Maintenance personnel are urgently carrying out repairs.
In the middle of the camp stood a large military tent. From time to time one or two lieutenant officers came out of it. With a thick stack of buns in their hands, they hurried to a tightly sealed tent next to them.
In the tent, a shadowless lamp hung in the center. Lu Li was lying on a hospital bed under the shadowless lamp. Several white coats gathered around him, glancing at the various instruments placed on the side from time to time, and noting down the number displayed on the instruments. The lieutenant officer handed Wen JiΓ n to one of the white coats, then turned and walked out.
At this time, Lu Li woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a strange place, and subconsciously tensed his nerves, and Huo Di sat up.
"You're awake."
A white coat in his sixties saw him sit up and nodded to the rest of the staff with a smile. After a while, only him and Lu Li were left in the tent. He dragged a chair from the side and sat down, smiling kindly.
"Don't be nervous. We are all people of the military and will not hurt you. β
"Someone from the military?"
Lu Li was skeptical. This white coat obviously expected that Lu Li would not accept his identity so quickly. He smiled, took out a business card from the pocket of his white coat, and handed it to Lu Li.
"I am Xu Liwen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I am currently the president of the Special Research Institute of the Chengdu Military Region."
Lu Li didn't take the business card. He stared at Xu Liwen with blazing eyes, and asked meaningfully, "You are also here to find that Dr. K?" β
When Xu Liwen heard this, his face suddenly showed surprise. He grabbed Lu Li's right hand and asked urgently, "Do you know the whereabouts of Dr. K?" β
"I don't know."
Lu Li shook his head, which suddenly made Xu Liwen angry. He stood up, changed his previous kindness, and snorted coldly with a straight face: "You can't fool me." Ding Jinshan brought you back. He's sure you're an evolutionary too. If you weren't related to that Dr. K, how could you be an evolutionary? β
Hearing this, Lu Li was shocked. He was sure that he heard this Academician Xu mention the word "you". So who else but himself has also been caught here?
Chris? Or Chen Yuxin? Or maybe they're all caught here?
Except for the two of them, Lu Li was sure that there would be no one else. He remembered that he was the only two of them in the vicinity before he fell unconscious. Thinking of this, his face changed, and he asked in a cold voice.
"Where are they?"
Xu Liwen was stunned for a moment, and then replied funny: "Except for you, there is only one foreign girl." What about them. β
"Chrissy is here, too."
Lu Xuan was taken aback, but on the surface, he was silent, and quickly calculated in his heart: "It seems that Chrissy did not reveal her identity." Gotta do your best to find her. β
Thinking of this, he no longer denied that he had nothing to do with Dr. K. He looked at Xu Liwen and changed the subject: "Why are you in such a hurry to find Dr. K?" β
When Xu Liwen saw that Lu Li no longer denied it, his face softened, and he sat down again with a smile. He sighed: "The country needs him." Human enhancers, as well as the evolutionary theory, either of which shocked the world. It is no exaggeration to say that no matter which country gets this Dr. K, it can become the most powerful country in the world. β
"How?"
"You're an evolutionary too. I won't hide it from you. You already know how powerful an Evolver really is, right? β
"Yes."
Lu Li did not deny it. He said this, but in his heart he secretly thought to himself, "Could it be that he made that double evolutionary?" β
As he guessed, Xu Liwen immediately said with a fluttering eyebrow: "I am the main person in charge of studying the theory of evolutionaries. This is why this special institute was established to study evolutionary beings. After continuous attempts, I found a new way out in the history of human evolution through the study of the evolutionary theory. You've already met Ding Jinshan, right? β
Lu Li nodded. He had already guessed that the double evolutionary he had seen before was Ding Jinshan in Xu Liwen's mouth. Xu Liwen went on to explain.
"I found that the Evolver is not the final form of human evolution. Humanity can evolve even further. I call it the Beyonder. Humans beyond the Evolver. But I tried a lot of methods, and in the end I only got Ding Jinshan a double evolutionary. This greatly exceeded my expectations. According to the key points I found, he should evolve into a transcendent, not an evolutionary with one more ability. This is simply redundant. So I desperately wanted to find Dr. K and talk to him. With his knowledge of the evolutionary theory, he will definitely be able to solve my doubts. β
Lu Li was stunned. He didn't expect that this Academician Xu was actually a scholar with no selfish desires. He couldn't believe his eyes and ears.
Has the world that I was born again in such a better place?
After being stunned for a long time, he looked at Xu Liwen deeply. Mind-reading was quietly activated. Soon, he spied on Xu Liwen's memory. In his memory, the more he explored, the more surprised he became.
This Academician Xu is an out-and-out technical nerd. Whether in peacetime or after a disaster, he has consistently devoted himself to scientific research in addition to necessary entertainment.
In his memory, 90 percent of what Lu Li saw was monotonous and dull scientific reality. Only when he went deep into his memory did he see a few fragments of memories of attending various entertainments. Apparently he had forgotten about these entertainments.
After Lu Li spied on Xu Liwen's memory, he immediately respected him. Such scholars who are obsessed with scientific research are precious strategic resources no matter what era they put in. He looked away and asked in a low voice.
"I want to meet the foreign girl you captured."
"No, no, no."
Xu Liwen shook his head again and again: "I have to correct a little." It was Ding Jinshan who saved you from the evolutionary zombies. We are the people of the state, how can we arrest you? β
Lu Li was stunned again. He thought it was ridiculous. That Ding Jinshan fled after a while. How could he have saved himself and Chrissy from the Berserk Ripper.
At this time, Xu Liwen saw that he was silent, but when he had understood the truth, he smiled and stood up: "Put on your clothes first, and I'll take you to see her." β
Lu Li didn't find out the truth, got out of bed silently, and put on the new clothes that had been prepared for him. Then, he followed Xu Liwen out of the tent. As soon as he came out of the tent, he saw the Ding Jinshan at first sight.
Ding Jinshan looked vigilant, glared at Lu Li fiercely, and then turned around and walked into the wide tent. Lu Zhen knew that this Ding Jinshan was worried that he would find out the truth of the matter. But he didn't bother to take care of it. The most important thing at the moment is to meet Chrissy and take her back to the hospital.
Xu Liwen walked ahead and didn't notice the episode between the two. He led Lu Li to a tent on the edge of the camp and stopped. He pointed to the tent and turned back to Lu Li and smiled.
"Let's go inside. She's inside. But you have to be careful. This is a barracks, so don't walk around if you don't have to. After all, these are extraordinary times, so bear with me. In a few days, I will ask Battalion Commander Lu to send a car to take you to N City. β
"Thank you."
Lu Li sincerely thanked him. Xu Liwen smiled and turned to leave. When he walked away, Lu Li walked into the tent. As soon as the people entered the room, they saw Chrissy sitting leisurely on the marching bed with a cup of hot coffee in her hands. She heard the movement, looked up and saw that it was Lu Li coming in, and teased with a smile.
"You can really sleep, you can sleep for two whole days."
"Don't make a fuss."
Lu Li walked over and sat on the marching bed angrily, his expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?" β
Chrissy smiled sweetly and opened her mouth to speak English. Lu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, and gave her a thumbs up: "Awesome." β
"It's a pity you don't know English. Otherwise, there will be no possibility of exposure. β
"You can teach me when you go back."
"I'll talk about it later."
The two laughed for a while. Lu Li immediately returned to the topic. He looked admiring and said in a low voice: "That Academician Xu is really a talent. If it were possible, I would like to bring him back. β
Chrissy was immediately interested. When she heard Lu Li say that she spied on Xu Liwen's inner memory, she immediately made a decision: "We must get him." His participation will help me complete the evolutionary theory. The transcendental theory, in particular, was exactly what I had guessed. β
Hearing Chrissy praise Xu Liwen, Lu Li smiled knowingly, and then asked, "Has Xiaoyu found you in the past two days?" β
As soon as the words fell, Chrissy had already shook her head decisively: "If we want to leave, we can use Xiaoyu's ability." But if we want to bring Academician Xu back, we must not do so. β
"How?"
"The key lies in that Ding Jinshan."
"Him?"
"Not bad."
Chrissy nodded happily: "He has both strength and speed. He is in great danger to us until the hospital has no real means of defense. β
Lu Li was silent. Although the speed of the strength-type enhancer is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is still a weakness after all. If you add the speed...... The perfect combination of strength and speed, looking at the entire hospital, I'm afraid that no one can deal with him at the moment.
Seeing this, Chrissy smiled mysteriously, leaned over to Lu Li's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Lu Li asked in astonishment: "Is this feasible?" β
"Of course."
Chrissy raised her eyebrows, a look of confidence: "We just need to ...... like this"
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Lu Li walked out of the tent. As soon as he stepped outside, the muzzles of two black holes were aimed at him. He reluctantly raised his hands and said to the two soldiers who had been guarding outside the tent.
"I want to see Academician Xu."
The two soldiers looked at each other, then put down their guns and led him to the tent. Inside, he saw at a glance that Xu Liwen was doing a detailed inspection of Ding Jinshan with his assistant.
Xu Liwen is recording the number of jΓΉ. Hearing the movement, he raised his head, and when he saw that it was Lu Li being escorted in by the two soldiers, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What? Got caught running around? β
Lu Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes fell on Ding Jinshan, who was undergoing a physical examination. He pretended to be surprised and stepped forward and grabbed Ding Jinshan's hand.
"I thought you didn't escape......"
