At first glance, Zhang Lao didn't care, and wondered what he was doing in the middle of the night.

When I took a closer look, I realized that something seemed wrong.

Zhang Lao picked up a transparent glass jar, which was a thumb-sized plant, thick at the top and thin at the end, full of thin roots, the whole body was red, and the epidermis was unevenly distributed with cracks, which was a little inappropriate.

Because this thing is in a transparent jar, the root system at the end is slowly wriggling, like a living thing.

Zhang Lao thinks that he is well-informed, but he really doesn't have much impression of this thing.

"What is this?" Zhang Lao approached the glass jar and observed for a long time but didn't see anything, subconsciously questioned, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the others without waiting for an answer, the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"This! That's what you call a surprise? Zhang Lao trembled and pointed to something on the ground.

Jiang Mi smiled, "There is an even bigger surprise." ”

Zhang Lao's breathing was a little short, and these things on the ground alone already made him excited!

He could now be sure that these plants should have never been seen, because there were at least twenty kinds of plants in this place, large and small, and if one or two of them he hadn't seen were because he didn't know enough, then what could he say about the more than twenty kinds of plants.

These are treasures!

"Surprise? What a big surprise? "Elder Zhang will be full of expectations.

"Follow me." Jiang Mi beckoned, and Zhang Lao hurriedly wrapped a thick coat and followed closely.

The three of them took the elevator directly to the underground garage.

The garage was very empty, Jiang Mi asked Zhang Lao to stand farther away, and then raised his hand under Zhang Lao's scorching gaze, and a huge iron cage suddenly appeared in the open space in front of him, and the space of the iron cage was as big as a bedroom, and in the middle of the iron cage lay a black behemoth.

The beast's body was so big that even with a two-meter-by-two-meter iron cage, it still looked a little compact.

Zhang Lao was startled by the beast in the iron cage, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, swallowed a little nervously, and looked up and down, "Xiao Jiang, this is ...... Is this an aberration? ”

"It's not." Jiang Mi shook his head, "I don't know what kind of species it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not contaminated at all, and this thing was anesthetized by me, and now I can't move, Zhang Lao rest assured." ”

Hearing that Zhang Lao's heart was slightly relaxed, he took a few steps forward and looked closer, and found that the beast was indeed motionless, but its eyes were still open, its tongue was hanging out, panting, and its huge body fell along with its breathing.

"What species is this? No, I have to find Lao Deng to take a look, and Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo is an expert in animals and plants......" Zhang Lao kept muttering while circling around the iron cage and observing carefully.

Jiang Mi asked aloud, "Old Zhang, can this be studied?" ”

Zhang Lao nodded subconsciously, "Yes!" Must be able to! Why don't you ......?" I just finished saying and felt that something was wrong.

Now the laboratories in the hotel have just been established, and the space is really not large, if it is just to study some small animals and plants or something, it will be fine, but where should such a big beast be raised?

You can't really kill the slice research, this beast doesn't seem to be much, and it's the only research object now, so if it's really good, there may not be a next one for them to study.

"It's okay! No, let's build another lab here! Zhang Lao gritted his teeth.

The space utilization rate of the underground garage is not much, and it is not impossible to build a larger laboratory that can accommodate this beast.

Jiang Mi nodded, she naturally cooperated with this as much as possible.

"Okay, I'll put this thing away first, and I'll release it when the laboratory here is built."

Zhang Lao looked at the beast with some reluctance, and when he turned to the tail of the beast, he didn't care about being afraid, so he cautiously reached out and touched it, and after touching it, he smiled with satisfaction on his face, "Okay, it's safer to look at it." ”

"It's not early today, Mr. Zhang, go back and rest." Jiang Mi raised his hand to retract the cage into space.

After sending Zhang Lao back, Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun returned to the room on the sixth floor, it would be more than twelve o'clock in the night, and she was really sleepy.

"Promise Zhang Lao to build an underground laboratory, you won't leave tomorrow?" Jiang Xun asked while drinking the water cup.

"Let's go, it's the New Year soon, I definitely have to go." Jiang Mi smiled, "Actually, I was thinking about a question yesterday, if someone can fly a plane, can I bring them all back on a passenger plane." ”

"It's a good idea, but it's hard to find someone who can fly a passenger plane." Jiang Xun affirmed her thoughts, "Civil airliners are different from helicopters, they are not professional operators, don't touch them easily." ”

With him by his side in the helicopter, even if something happens, he can save it in time, and no matter how bad it is, there is still room to go directly in, but the passenger plane is different, Jiang Mi is going to go to R City alone, and it is not a few people who will take the plane with him, but dozens or hundreds of people, once the plane has an accident, it will be a heavy loss for the Shuguang base.

After all, the Dawning Base is the most short of manpower now, and randomly absorbing other survivors will bring hidden dangers to the Dawning Base, which is still unstable, and there is no way to take out many things.

But Miao Xi and those people are different, so no matter what, their safety must come first, even if it takes a little time.

"I understand, brother, don't worry." Jiang Mi understood the old brother's thoughts, smiled and waved his hand, "I'm not stupid, but if there is really someone who can fly a plane, then I will definitely fly back with someone directly." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xun nodded.

Jiang Mi got up early the next morning, went directly to the kitchen after washing, moved out most of the ripe watermelons in the space and piled them in the corner, served breakfast from the kitchen, and hurried to follow Zhang Lao, Deng Lao and others who came to her to the underground garage.

The whole morning was spent in a busy way.

The laboratory in the underground garage was rebuilt very quickly, especially without manpower, it saved a lot of effort to move those equipment around, and when the underground laboratory was completed, Zhang Lao was the first to excitedly let Jiang Mi release the beast.

This underground garage is surrounded by basically acquaintances, Deng Lao, Zhang Lao, Xing Shao'an, Yuan Fuxiang, Liu Ji, and a middle-aged man in his forties surnamed Mo, and a young man in his twenties, who seems to be a student of Professor Namo.

Jiang Mi released the beast at the request of Zhang Lao.

Even if it wasn't the first time he saw it, Zhang Lao still felt shocked.

"I had two injections of anesthesia in the morning, but he hasn't eaten since last night." Jiang Mi looked at the people who didn't dare to step forward and said softly.

After being anesthetized, the beast can't even swallow basically, so naturally it can't eat.
