It took a few seconds for the vice-captain to digest the news.

Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly returned the military salute to Xu Xingguang, and introduced herself in a sonorous voice: "Hua Junqiao, the deputy captain of the No. 23 Secret Research Institute, has met the captain!"

Pretty flowers?

Noticing Xu Xingguang's forbearance expression that wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh in front of him, Hua Junqiao was a little embarrassed. But she soon regained her indifference, apparently accustomed to such a scene.

Hua Junqiao explained calmly: "My brother and I are twins, his name is Hua Meili, my name is Hua Junqiao, and when we registered our household registration, the police officer reversed the name."

"I see." That's really an oolong.

Hua Junqiao looked serious, but she was actually chattering, she took the initiative to tell Xu Xingguang: "I am a military doctor, and after graduation, I entered the military department of the alliance and became a medical researcher. My brother dropped out of high school and went to carve ivory with Master, and now he is a craftsman, and he is best at carving, and he has also been named the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage."

"Our names don't match our genders, but they fit our personalities and professions."

In this way, the hobbies and personalities of these two siblings are completely different. "That's a real fate. Alright, take me to Group 23 to report."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hua Junqiao took Xu Xingguang to take the sea-viewing elevator and enter the seabed.

She introduced to Xu Xingguang, "Research Institute 23 is hidden under the sea and has five floors. The fifth basement floor is a closed large laboratory, the fourth basement floor is the data analysis storage room, and the third basement floor is the receiving experiment and anatomy floor. The second basement floor is the dormitory, the canteen, and the relaxation area."

Nodding, Xu Xingguang said, "What about the first floor?"

"The first floor is vacant for the time being." Hua Junqiao looked at Xu Xingguang's overly young face, and suddenly said, "Research Institute No. 23 has only been established for less than half a year, and it is directly responsible for the presidential decree. When the presidential decree selected this building for us to be a research institute, it was said that the basement floor would have another purpose."

"But we don't know exactly what it will do." Thinking that Xu Xingguang was the leader of the group, Hua Junqiao asked her tentatively, "Captain, do you know the role of the basement floor?"

"Guessed." Xu Xingguang didn't know either, but she guessed the true purpose of the basement layer.

Looking at the blue ocean world outside the window, Xu Xingguang said in a daze, "It should be a place to supervise and destroy parasites."

Hua Junqiao's expression trembled when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect to go up to this level.

Xu Xingguang told Hua Junqiao: "There must be more than one corpse centipede, and a corpse mountain and sea of blood can breed many corpse centipede eggs. Xiahou Huaigui is only the first parasitic beast we have discovered, but it is not the only parasitic beast."

Xu Xingguang was not in the research institute, but she knew everything about the corpse centipede. "Those two parasites abroad should be the same batch of parasitic people as Xiahou Huaigui, so their maturity period is similar."

"At present, we don't know exactly how many corpse centipedes they have in that batch, nor do we know how many batches of corpse centipedes have been cultivated in the Great Sheep Country. But I'm sure there's definitely more than three."

Hua Junqiao's heart sank when she heard this.

Xu Xingguang turned sideways, lowered his eyes to look at Hua Junqiao, and said calmly: "Find a way to use inducing drugs to investigate the total number of parasites in the Xia Kingdom, and then bring them to Research Institute 23 to isolate their relationship with the outside world, this is the function of the existence of the underground layer."

Hua Junqiao always felt that this matter was not as simple as Xu Xingguang said, and she asked with a heavy heart, "What if they get out of control?"

Xu Xingguang pointed out coldly, "Destroy."

The word destruction is generally used only in relation to "articles". Everything that has vital signs should not be destroyed.

But they are responsible for destroying those parasites that are on the verge of getting out of control!

They're healers!

Even the staff of the funeral home are only responsible for burning the dead body.

"Who... Who's going to destroy it?" Hua Junqiao asked with a dry voice.

composed

Starlight frowned lightly and said expressionlessly, "I am the initiator and person in charge of the entire research project, and naturally, it is also my job to destroy the runaway parasites."

Hua Junqiao was taken aback.

Team Xu?

How old is Team Xu?

Destroying the runaway parasite will cause a powerful psychological shadow to the destroyer, Team Xu is young, is she really up to the job?

During the conversation, they reached the second basement floor.

All the members of Research Institute 23 stood in the hallway outside the conference room on the third floor, looking up at the entrance.

Noticing that the passage gate was activated, everyone's eyes widened. Someone said, "The new captain is here! I bet our captain must be an old man who doesn't smile!"

"I bet I'm an old naughty boy."

"I think it's supposed to be a smiling and kind, but white and black senior woman."

However, when the door was opened and Hua Junqiao walked in with a delicate little girl, all the members were stunned.

This...

They all guessed the identity of the little girl, but they didn't want to admit it.

Such a young girl shouldn't be the captain they have been looking forward to for a long time. qδ

But immediately after, they saw Hua Junqiao clapping her hands and introducing them, "Everyone, this is Xu Xingguang, the captain of our No. 23 Research Institute, come over and get to know each other."

Xu Xingguang's identity has been certified by Hua Junqiao, and this group of medical research bigwigs with an average age of more than 38 years old all showed unbelievable eyes.

There was a "weird" smell in the hallway.

After a while, the youngest member of the team couldn't help but ask the question in everyone's mind: "Captain Xu, you are ... How old are you?"

Xu Xingguang wore a red and black jacket, with a high ponytail, black trousers and flat canvas shoes, exuding a pure natural youthful vigor all over his body.

She is better suited to stay on college campuses, discussing classes, basketball, and photography with college students. Instead of standing here and leading them to do research as a captain.

Xu Xingguang didn't answer and asked the other party: "How old are you?"

The man named Jin Yaoyang said with some pride, "I am 32 years old this year, and I am the youngest in our institute." After a pause, Jin Yaoyang hurriedly changed his words and said, "It was like this before."

But obviously, after Team Xu came, this record was about to be refreshed.

Nodding, Xu Xingguang told Jin Yaoyang, "No more, no less, just ten years younger than you."

Hearing this, the entire corridor fell silent.

"22 years old." Jin Yaoyang's expression was numb, he pinched his somewhat tired eyebrows, and said with emotion: "My niece is 22 years old, she just graduated from college this year, and she is still interviewing to find a job."

Captain Xu, who is also 22 years old, has become the leader of the No. 23 Secret Research Institute!

It's all a personal brain, what does Captain Xu's brain eat?

Eating someone else is mentally retarded?

Xu Xingguang's arrival stimulated these old researchers.

And Xu Xingguang is also well aware of a truth, in the face of a group of colleagues who are all geniuses and strong people, modesty cannot get their recognition and respect. Only strength is the only way to convince them and get their approval.

Therefore, on the first day of meeting, Xu Xingguang also disclosed his other identity. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Yao Nong Xing, the discoverer of the biochemical weapon corpse centipede."

After learning that Xu Xingguang was the famous medicine farmer star, they understood the reason why Xu Xingguang appeared here.

Yao Nongxing is the discoverer of the corpse centipede, and the only healer in the world who is good at capturing the corpse centipede alive and completely destroying the corpse centipede. She led the work of Research Institute 23, which was expected by all.

If they weren't even qualified to appear here, then they should go home and farm.

The members of the No. 23 group adjusted their mentality as soon as possible.

A man with slightly gray hair took the lead in walking up to Xu Xingguang, saluting her and introducing himself, "1

Researcher No. 1 Chen Taikang, say hello to Captain Xu!"

Then, a middle-aged man with an inch head and a face with a Chinese character also saluted Xu Xingguang and introduced, "Researcher No. 10, Sheng Guangtao, say hello to Captain Xu!"

A middle-aged lady with a bob cut also saluted Xu Xingguang and said, "Researcher No. 9 Liu Yuan, hello to Captain Xu!"

The young man who asked Xu Xingguang's age earlier also changed his respectful appearance at this moment, and introduced himself: "Researcher No. 9 Jin Yaoyang, say hello to Captain Xu!"

The oldest man in the research institute also said, "Researcher No. 8, Wang Zefa, say hello to Captain Xu." After a pause, the man added in a low voice, "In our research institute, Xiao Jin is the youngest, and I am the oldest, 61 years old this year."

Hua Junqiao, who was standing next to her, whispered to Xu Xingguang, "No. 8 used to be the vice president of Xia Guozhong Hospital, and he has reached retirement age. After the establishment of Research Institute No. 23, the presidential decree personally invited him back. He has been dealing with Chinese medicine for 55 years, and if he has any questions related to Chinese medicine, he can communicate with him more."

Hearing this, Xu Xingguang cast a respectful look at Wang Zefa's senior, "Hello."

Wang Zefa's eyes were full of relief when he looked at Xu Xingguang, and he said, "I have heard about your deeds a long time ago. The director of the Xia Guo Botanical Garden and I have been friends for many years, thanks to the blessing of the Xu team, and their garden has successfully cultivated the fresh ice grass."

"Team Xu, your generosity has benefited many patients."

Looking at Xu Xingguang's too young face, Wang Zefa sighed with emotion: "It's really the back waves pushing the front waves, and it is a blessing for Xia Guo to have a young talent like you!"

Wang Zefa couldn't help but ask Xu Xingguang: "It's convenient to say, is the teacher of Team Xu, which senior is it?"

can bring out such an excellent student as Xu Xingguang, and his teacher is obviously not unknown.

Xu Xingguang had long expected such a situation, and she said without blinking, "My teacher is my grandfather, but he is used to living in seclusion, and he has been dead for many years."

"I see."

After Wang Zefa briefly exchanged a few words with Xu Xingguang, several other researchers also introduced themselves to Xu Xingguang.

No. 7 is named Yu Ke, a 38-year-old otaku who has just turned 38, and his main job is to process the data of the analysis institute and protect the data of the institute from being stolen.

In short, he is a computer technology professional in the research group.

No. 6 is named Zhou Chi, 42 years old, an asexual, unmarried, and he is the male face of the entire research institute.

No. 5 is Li Guangmang, 35 years old, is the only personal disciple of the world-renowned virus research expert Mo Hansen, she has extraordinary talent and intuition in the field of virus research, and is known as the "virus interpreter".

No. 4 Lu Xiao, No. 3 Lu Zhou, the two of them are the most special, they are two-headed conjoined twins, the two share the same body, but they have two complete brain and nervous systems.

The two of them are of medium appearance and medium stature, but their IQs are ridiculously high, and they are all-round talents and are the IQ leaders of the institute.

No. 2 is the deputy team Hua Junqiao, who is not only the leader of the research institute, but also the strongest combat effectiveness. In addition, she is also the wife of Jin Yunhai, the commander-in-chief of the Xia *** team, but the two are married and have an average relationship.

After getting to know each other, Hua Junqiao asked Xu Xingguang to tell everyone a few words.

The appointment of a new official is a critical moment for establishing his prestige.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xingguang spoke earnestly, "Decipher the genetic composition of the corpse centipede in the shortest possible time, find a way to eliminate them at the lowest cost, and resolve the crisis of the Xia Kingdom and even all mankind. This is not only my task and responsibility, but also the task and responsibility of all of you."

Xu Xingguang suddenly stretched out her right fist, only opening her thumb and little finger, and she said, "I, Xu Xingguang, hereby swear that I will do my best to eradicate the poison and defend the Xia Kingdom, even if it is at the cost of my life!"

Hearing this, Hua Junqiao and others followed Xu Xingguang's movements, stretched out their right fists, and opened their thumbs and little fingers. They hooked their thumbs to the little finger of the person on the left, forming a circle.

This circle is unbreakable.

On the flag of the Xia Alliance, a circle of 12 right hands is drawn, and a black python is surrounded by them.

The 12 hands symbolize the twelve gods of war of the original Alliance Legion, and the black python symbolizes the Huo family who saved the country and the people in the present world at the time of national crisis.

This gesture is used when members of the coalition government swear by their souls.

The 11 hands are tightly connected, and from this moment on, they will be united in one heart and move towards the same goal.

After the meeting ended, Hua Junqiao took Xu Xingguang to her office. "Team Xu, the office items you need are in the lockers, we can't open them, you can only collect them yourself."

Nodding, Xu Xingguang walked to the locker, opened the locker with iris data, and took out her clothes and notebook from it.

She put on a light gray overall, draped in a blue-gray robe, and hung the plain badge that read Researcher 1 on her chest. She touched her badge and said, "Does this thing have a positioning system?"

Hua Junqiao bowed her head, worried that Xu Xingguang would mind, and quickly explained to her, "This is not only a positioning system, but also our pass. The core of the work of the No. 23 Secret Research Institute is the study of corpse centipedes, and we can all be trusted, but no one knows if there are enemy lackeys hidden in it."

"Wearing it to work, we can monitor our movements in real time, and once there is an intelligence leak, we can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Nodding, Xu Xingguang said, "It's good, that's how it should be."

As Hua Junqiao said, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and who knows who the other party is loyal to in the places they can't see.

In the electronic database, a red light suddenly flashed, and it was a new confidential information that had been transmitted. In the entire research institute, only Xu Xingguang is qualified to directly connect with the presidential decree.

This move is also a signal from the presidential decree to the entire research institute -

In the entire No. 23 Secret Research Institute, only Xu Xingguang is the person he trusts with full authority.

Any confidential information will first pass through Xu Xingguang's hands, and after she has read the information, she will decide what information to disclose to the team members and to what extent.

However, any decision she makes, she has to bear her own risk.

Behind the honor, there is always a crisis.

After sending Hua Junqiao away, Xu Xingguang used his iris to open the confidential database, and the A4 white paper inside automatically printed the documents. A moment later, Xu Xingguang received Document No. 1 from the intelligence department of the presidential order.

On it, there is a record of an organization called "Extinction Gate", which has long been undocumented when it was founded. It is only known that this organization is a militarized virus research institute, and it is very likely that the corpse centipede came from this organization.

At present, the specific number of members of the Extinction Sect has not been clarified.

They only found one important clue, the current leader of the Extinction Sect is a virus expert codenamed "Christopher".

Christopher.

Xu Xingguang destroyed the document, got up and walked to the window, she opened the curtains, looked at the dark blue deep sea outside, suddenly picked up her mobile phone, and made a call to Huo Wen'an, who was far away on Shenyin Island.

It was still early at the moment, and Huo Wen'an was enjoying breakfast.

Probably thinking that his life was short and there was not much time to live, the old helmsman actually came to Huo Wen'an's manor with dignity and enjoyed breakfast with him.

The breakfast style is exquisite and varied, with dozens of breakfast dishes on the long dining table, Chinese and Western food, Japanese and French food.

Huo Wen'an stared at the delicacies on the table, a little tasteless.

He was sick and leaning on a wheelchair, too lazy to move the block.

The old helm glanced at him, and seemed to have a good temper, and cared about him: "Not to your liking?"

Huo Wenan said, "I want to eat beef noodles."

Hearing this, the old helmsman glanced at the personal butler who followed behind him, and the housekeeper was about to go to the kitchen to tell the cook to remake a bowl of beef noodles, when he heard Huo Wen'an say in a depressed mood, "I want to eat my fiancée."

of beef noodles."

This...

The old butler couldn't help but stop leaving.

The old helmsman subconsciously looked at the middle finger of Huo Wen'an's left hand, staring at the black Luofei stone ring, and the old helm wanted to scold Huo Wen'an a few words. However, when he thought that Huo Wen'an's time was running out, the old helm followed him.

"Your fiancée, I don't think it's a good thing." The old helm said expressionlessly, "You've become like this, and I don't see her coming to see you, I think she's just raising fish."

The old helmsman is old, but his mind follows the trend and he still understands the meaning of "fish farming".

Huo Wen'an chuckled, and he said, "Then you have to see what kind of fish she raises." He's a big shark, and with his fish in the pond, there's no room for other fish.

The old helmsman saw that Huo Wen'an was obsessed, and he hated iron but not steel. "I trained you to be the helmsman, but you are willing to be a fish in someone else's pond, Huo Wen'an, you really disappointed me."

"Grandpa, there are many children and grandchildren on Shenyin Island, aren't they all the fish in your fish pond?" Huo Wen'an threw away the wet wipes that had wiped his fingers, looked at the old helm gently, and said calmly, "You chose me as a fish, isn't it because I am the most ferocious and easiest to be controlled by you in this fish pond?"

Shaking his head, Huo Wen'an folded his hands on his abdomen, and said with a lazy expression, "I'm a dead fish, grandpa should find another fish with vigorous vitality and re-cultivate it."

As he spoke, he opened his eyes and looked at the old helm's wrinkled face for a moment before saying, "While you're still alive, you have to hurry."

The old housekeeper was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Huo Wen'an's eyes, like a stern head teacher watching a plaything and a thug.

However, the old helm was not angry with Huo Wen'an, he even laughed in a good mood and praised Huo Wen'an: "Child, do you know why you are so different in my eyes?"

Huo Wen'an frowned.

The old helm said, "The entire Huo family, the entire Shenyin Island, only you only regard me as a grandfather." And not the Huo family at the helm.

The old helmsman took a fancy to Huo Wen'an's courage to know that he was in a high position and had the ability to pinch him to death at will, but he was not afraid of him.

As if thinking of something, the old helmsman's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and he said, "The last person who dared to get along with me like this was your little grandmother."

"Little Grandma" refers to Andariel, the last wife of the old helmsman, the princess of the T country who is 40 years younger than the old helm.

The old helmsman's name is Huo Canghai, and when he was 62 years old, he married Princess Andariel, who was only 22 years old.

He said he had met true love.

Huo Wen'an's young uncle Huo Lanyue is the son of the old helmsman Andariel.

When Huo Lanyue was born, Huo Canghai was 64 years old.

can add another son to this age, so that Huo Canghai can brag for a lifetime. But Huo Lanyue's life was not good, and when he was five or six years old, he was kidnapped by Rashomon and torn up his ticket, and he was gone.

This incident has become an incurable pain in Huo Canghai's heart.

Having lost his beloved son, Andariel closed himself off and refused to speak again.

In order to let his wife recuperate with peace of mind, Huo Canghai built a castle on the highest peak of Shenyin Island and let his lover rest in the castle. And he, too, lives in the castle.

No one was allowed to enter the castle without Huo Canghai's permission.

Huo Wen'an has returned to Shenyin Island for so many years, and he has not been allowed to enter the castle.

For that young grandmother, Huo Wenan was particularly unfamiliar.

Huo Wen'an suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction where the castle was located, smiled maliciously, and sighed, "Then it seems that it is very unlucky to be different in your life."

Andariel became the difference in Huo Canghai's life, and as a result, she lost her son and lost her mind, and became a lonely and miserable princess in the castle.

And he has also become a short-lived ghost.

Huo Canghai was extremely angry by these words, and he smashed the spoon of the meal to Huo Wen'an's shoulder, but was Zheng Lie

Catch it directly.

"Huo Wen'an, you just wait to die!"

The old housekeeper hurriedly pushed Huo Canghai out.

When he came to the sunny world, the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Wen'an's house was gloomy and dark, staying inside was like staying in a large coffin, and Huo Canghai had a feeling of discomfort of experiencing death in advance.

Exhaled, Huo Canghai suddenly asked the old butler, "General Luo Xiangyue, is there a reply?"

Seeing that Huo Canghai was angry with Huo Wen'an, but he was still thinking about saving his life, the old housekeeper sighed with emotion: "The helm is loving to Wen'an's child after all."

Huo Canghai snorted coldly, "It's a fart, I'm old, and I don't have the energy and time to retrain a new helmsman. The only way to save him is to save him."

The old housekeeper didn't know whether he believed Huo Canghai's words or not.

He said, "General Luo, I gave you a reply."

Huo Canghai's vicissitudes of old eyes lit up slightly, and he asked the old butler, "What do you say?"

"General Luo said that Yao Nongxing would not reveal her identity and address. However, she will come to the island in person in the near future to see Wen'an."

Hearing this, Huo Canghai's expression was much clearer.

"Did you tell me exactly when you would come?"

The old butler didn't know, "Just recently."

"It's quite a show." Huo Canghai was a little displeased, but when he thought that Yao Nong Xing was Huo Wen'an's only hope, Huo Canghai could only endure the Yao Nong Xing's broken problems.

Huo Canghai heard something, turned his head, and saw the fat gray pig who was spreading the lawn in the manor. Huo Canghai scolded: "It is said that raising pets is like the master, Huo Wen'an is so thin that he takes off his likeness, this idiot is as fat as a pig..."

Realizing that Huo Wuxing was originally a pig, Huo Canghai was suspiciously silent, and said, "It's okay to divide half of your master's flesh, a brute without conscience!"

The old butler could only laugh in his heart when he saw it.

Huo Canghai has been married twice, has several children, and has many grandchildren, but only Huo Wenan has become the sustenance of his old age. I don't know why, the old helmsman has a special love for Huo Wen'an's child.
