Chapter 240: Green Dragon White Jade Soup
Liu Chang sat in front of a small table, slowly drinking a drink that shimmered with blue light, this small table seemed to be specially made for him, and he sat there without the slightest sense of disobedience.
Governor Alain sat at another table beside him, holding the same drink, but did not drink it, but watched it quietly, without squeaking.
This awkward silence has been going on for several minutes.
Liu Chang looked at the backpack that Governor Alan put at his feet and was stunned. It was a special dark green backpack for tourism, and there were many pockets on the outside for electronic instruments.
"That's a good bag." Liu Chang broke the silence, "Where did you get it?" It seems to be specially made. β
Alain took a sip of wine: "Yes." β
"That's good." Liu Chang looked at it and said, "What's in that top pocket?" Communicator? Or is it a positioning system? Why do I think there's a stir-fry pan in there? Man, how do I think you don't feel like you're going home from your job and returning home, it's like going on a trip to the wilderness. β
"Liu Chang" Alan said angrily, "less nonsense, are you telling me, or not telling me?" β
Liu Chang said: "What to tell you? β
Alain said: "I want to know. What the hell is going on. β
"Mr. Alain, you listen to me, I really regret it ifβ"
"Don't talk about it," Alain interrupted, "Mr. Liu Chang, it's a very important species on that beach, but it's ruined. I really don't understand why you're doing that. β
Liu Chang sighed, and after he looked at a few of the entourages sitting at the other tables, he said with some curtle: "You have to keep it absolutely secret, okay?" β
Alain sighed and said helplessly, "Okay." β
What happened to make our former governor so angry, and the target of the anger was his successor, the story has to start a few months ago.
This is a hidden star, also a forbidden star, the administrative planet of the entire galaxy, where the twenty-eight regions of the galaxy have their own offices, and it is also the main office of the governor.
Why is it called a hidden star, because only this star is allowed to set up a hidden function, in case of an accident or emergency, it can hide its appearance at any time, it is unique in the entire galaxy.
Why is it called the forbidden star, it is not that people are forbidden to enter, on the contrary, it is open to everyone, even the governor's palace, if you want to, sit on the governor's throne and have a cup of tea, it is allowed.
You don't need money to be on the throne of the governor, you can sit casually, as long as you don't on it; But.. If you want to sit on it, you want to have a drink... Hehe, ask for money! Lots of money!!
Rather, it means that all endangered species in the galaxy, those that are seriously in danger, are confined here. Conservation and research for people.
"Dragon! Dragon!" As soon as Liu Chang stepped off the flying machine, he was attracted by something hovering in the sky, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but exclaim, yes, it is our legendary dragon, which is one of the endangered and dangerous species here.
Dragon, on the earth, is a totem for a long time, and his old Liu family and the dragon have a well-known relationship, which makes the family have supreme glory, and at the same time, it disgraces the family.
There are legends of dragons everywhere, and you can see dragon portraits, but no one has ever seen what the dragon looks like.
Today, it can be regarded as an eye-opener, this dragon soaring in the air is really a little similar to the legendary dragon: a big snake with a single horn on its head and claws under its body.
Just when Liu Chang could see the god and had the question of 'this is not scientific' in his mind, it is impossible for a creature without wings to fly in the air, and a foul sentence of 'I rely on' burst out of his mouth in surprise.
The monster suddenly flattened its body, stretched out its limbs, and gave birth to thin wings like duck flippers on both sides of its body, connecting from its front feet to its hind feet, and the dragon flew through the air with its two thin wings.
Maybe it was because he found the prey, or maybe he was frightened by Liu Chang's appearance, the beast gathered away the law phase, returned to his body, and turned himself into a four-legged snake with an elder, his body was like a sharp arrow, shooting from the air into the sea, causing a huge splash on the surface of the sea, and then disappeared.
Although Liu Chang had a lot of complaints about his old grandmother being raped by a beast and leaving the blood of a beast on his body, this beast was his ancestor after all, and he didn't dare to have any disrespectful thoughts.
Dragons can be big or small, flying or hidden; Large, can be excited or spit fog, small, can hide invisible; Flying is soaring between heaven and earth, and hidden is hidden in the waves. Anyway, this thing is also a divine thing, and recognizing an immortal beast as an ancestor is barely acceptable, although it doesn't sound good.
What happened next made Liu Chang's only remaining good feelings about the dragon gone.
I saw that the dragon climbed up from the shore, looking very embarrassed, Liu Chang deliberately observed, its claws were empty, obviously, its hunting behavior failed.
"Waste" Liu Chang secretly despised his titular ancestor in his heart, and turned around and prepared to leave. At this moment, I saw that the dragon's eyes suddenly lit up. Liu Chang was startled, thinking that he had been discovered and became its prey; If you beat your ancestors to death, or if your ancestors eat you as prey, you really don't even have a place to complain.
Fortunately, Liu Chang found that the focus of its gaze was not on his body, but not far away, Liu Chang stabilized his mind and looked in the direction of its eyes.
On the hillside not far away, there is a hole, the hole is not big but definitely not small, and it is so big that it is surrounded by another person, if it is a normal adult earthling, if it is not too fat, it can barely get into it.
The dragon's gaze was on this hole, and it ran towards the hole with great agility. Next, I can only describe Liu Chang's reaction when he sees this situation. I saw that it kept destroying the soil hole with its own horn, and its four paws kept throwing the fallen soil behind it, like a diligent groundhog.
Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to holes!
You fly in the sky, you swim in the water, Liu Chang endures it, you let the noble dragon burrow all over the mountain like a mouse, what does it mean!?
Especially when Liu Chang saw the obscene dragon head coming out of the hole, with a huge mouse in his mouth, and his eyes flashed with excitement, it completely shattered Liu Chang's bottom line.
In particular, when the dragon found Liu Chang standing not far away, he immediately became alert, took off his loot with his claws and put it under his body, and at the same time, doubled his body, and kept making a 'silky' sound in his mouth, which was a warning to Liu Chang that Liu Chang was not allowed to come and grab its food.
"Hehe" Liu Chang smiled, he remembered a fairy tale that his master told him back then, and couldn't help muttering, "Once upon a time, there was a phoenix that flew from northwest to southeast, and it was going to the East China Sea." The phoenix is a noble bird, which does not drink without morning dew, and does not fall without sycamores; One day, it came to rest on a plane tree.
Under this plane tree, there happened to be an owl, which happened to catch a dead mouse, held its prey with its paws, and shouted at the phoenix, 'Don't come and steal my food.'" The phoenix's eyes were always looking far east, and it didn't even look at the roar of the self-righteous owl under the tree. β
"Even if that beast eats a mouse, you don't have to kill it." Governor Alan later heard that Liu Chang had killed the dragon, but he was shocked into a cold sweat.
This dragon is the only remaining species in the entire galaxy, after thousands of years of repeated cultivation and optimization, the latest breed cultivated, is to this day, thousands of scientists every year try to change its genes, hoping to break the curse of human mechanization from its body.
How did Liu Chang know that this thing was so important, so many people studied it every year. Besides, it's already dead, it's all turned into poop, and it's too late to regret it, so I had to bite the bullet and say nonsense: "He spread rumors behind his back and slandered me." β
"That brute slandered you?" Alain was stunned.
Liu Chang could only continue to talk nonsense: 'That fool was frightened by my domineering roar, he didn't dare to say a word, and ran away with his tail between his legs' This beast later saw that his kind were showing off. β
"Nonsense!" Alain shouted.
"It called me stupid, and I confessed, saying that I was scared to pee, and I admitted it, and said that I ran away, and I admitted it. He said that I had a tail between my legs, and I couldn't accept it" After speaking, Liu Chang also deliberately got up and turned around, "Do I have a tail?" I don't have a tail at all. β
"You say, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter." Governor Alain sighed and said.
"How to deal with the aftermath? Whatever. Liu Chang sat down again, raised the cup, took a sip, and looked like he was out of the way.
Alain finally couldn't help it and said loudly: "You are the governor, don't care about your business?" β
"I..." Liu Chang saw that Governor Alan was really angry, and he didn't dare to be tough, but just whispered, "I'm not the governor yet... β
"Oh my God" Alan jumped up, the two huge wings on his back were stretched out, and Liu Chang clearly saw that the feathers on it stood up, "How can you be asked to take over the position of governor from above, is it a scoundrel." β
"Yes, yes, man, dissipation, discouragement." Liu Chang hurriedly laughed with him, "Isn't it just a long worm that died, what's the big deal." You said to the above that I stewed it in soup, Qinglong white jade soup, stewed with radish. β
"Let me say? Why don't you say it yourself? Alan let out a long breath, gathered his wings, and met a bastard, and he couldn't help it, "Forget it, forget it, I'm unlucky to meet you." I'll take care of that. Let's just say that the damn dragon got depression and committed suicide! There's another big problem here. β
"What's the big problem?"
"There are often ...... on that beach Belch...... Mutant species appear. It's been several years. β
"Mutation, species?" Liu Chang repeated these two words, then shook his head in disbelief.
"That's the official version of this species," Alain said. "People who work in the government don't want to be specific about everything. The first appearance of this species was about five years ago. It was found in the mountains near a remote agricultural experiment station where genetically modified soybean varieties are cultivated. β
"Genetically modified soybeans?" Liu Chang repeated.
Alain nodded. "It seems that these animals like to eat soybeans or certain plants here, and you can assume that they really need to eat a lot of amino acids, who knows, maybe they just like to eat some kind of crop."
"Sir" Liu Chang said, he can not care about this kind of thing like dragon killing stew, but he is about to take over, there are monsters in his tenure, but it is his job, "They just like beer and shortbread and it has nothing to do with me, now there is only one question that is important: where do they come from?" β
"I don't know." Alain spread his hands and said.
After a while, Liu Chang asked again, "What happened to the other animals?" β
"All of them were destroyed. As far as I know, no other animals have been found for several years since then. But now it seems to have started again. In the past year, we've found four, including the --- rat you saw. β
"What!" At this time, Liu Chang couldn't sit still, he had seen that mouse, and he didn't care too much about it at the time, the alien species, unlike the rats in his hometown, there was nothing strange, I heard Alan say that it was a mutant mouse, how could he not be in a hurry, stood up and said, "How to deal with it?" β
"Well, all those mutated species were destroyed without exception. From the outset, the government has taken every possible step to block information and not let anyone know about it. A few years ago, a group of space tourists reported some anomalies on an island called Buranoa.
Mercedes invited a group of reporters to visit the island β but they were on a different island. These journalists, of course, don't know what to do. For this kind of thing. I mean, the government takes this very seriously. β
"Why?"
"They're worried."
"Worried? Why worryβ"
Alain waved his hand, changed his sitting position in the chair, and moved forward: "Disease." β
"Disease?"
"Yes. Costa Scar has the best health system in the world," Alain said, "and epidemiologists are starting to track a very nasty form of encephalitis, which is on the rise, especially in coastal areas." β
"Encephalitis? What is the reason? Virus? β
Alain shook his head. "No cause was found."
"Sir......" Liu Chang was a little anxious, the science and technology here are still many times more advanced than what he has come into contact with, if they are helpless, he is not even qualified to stare dryly.
Alan explained: "Let me tell you, Mr. Liu Chang, no one knows. It is not a virus, and the number of white blood cells varies because the concentration of antibodies does not rise. It's not bacterial either, because no one has ever cultivated this bacterium, it's a complete mystery.
Epidemiologists only know that it seems to affect mainly rural farmers, those who work with animals, those who deal with domestic animals. It's encephalitis, indeedβa splitting headache, confusion, a high fever, and nonsense. β
"Sure to die?"
"Now it seems that it lasts about three weeks after the onset of the disease, and then it seems to be able to recover on its own, but even so, the government is very worried. This galaxy is about to revitalize cross-regional tourism. No one wants to talk about diseases that are not yet known. β
"So, they think encephalitis has something to do with these mutated animals?"
Alain shrugged, "Lizards can carry and transmit a variety of viral diseases. "They are a known vector of disease." So it's not unreasonable. Maybe there's some kind of connection. β
"But you just said it wasn't viral."
"Whatever it is. Anyway, they think it has something to do with that. β
Liu Chang said, "Then it is even more necessary to find out where these lizards and rats come from." They've definitely searched ......"
"Search?" Alain said and laughed, "Of course they searched, they searched everywhere, and searched over and over again. They sent out dozens of search teams β and I brought a few with me.
They conduct aerial searches, fly above the jungle, fly above the coastal islands. It's really exciting. There are quite a few coastal islands, you know, especially on the west coast. They even searched on privately owned islands. β
"Is there a privately owned island?" Liu Chang asked.
"There are several. Three or four. Like Yijiangshan Island, Dream Factory Island - it was leased to a private company called Life Genetic Technology, which was leased for several years. β
"You just said that they will search the island ...... too"
"Searched thoroughly. Nothing. β
"What about the other islands?"
"Uh, I'd like to see it." Alain said, raising his fingers, "On the east coast of Wangsrika Island, there is a noble club on the island. The island of Sona Yao on the west coast is leased to a company in Orion. To the north there is the island of True Vida, which is owned by a wealthy man from Costa Ga, and maybe, I can't remember. β
"What are the results?"
"Nothing." "Nothing was found, so they thought the animals were from deep in the jungle, and we haven't been able to find them so far." β
Liu Chang muttered, "Say so." Luck was not bad. β
"I know," Alain said, "that the rainforest is a great place to hide. And there are no roads, in the rainforest. Anything can hide. It's impossible to track all of the creatures unless the rainforests are completely destroyed, and the government is disappointed anyway. Of course, it's not just the government side that's at interest. β
Liu Chang raised his head suddenly: "Oh? β
"yes, for some reason, there are quite a few people who are also interested in these animals."
"What kind of interest?" Liu Chang asked cautiously tentatively.
