Chapter 37: The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes
"What an eventful season!"
"Drink and drink, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, who cares if he is right or wrong?"
"We're all little people, just do our own thing. ”
"Those big things, naturally, have big people to worry about. ”
Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank the beer inside.
"Yes, how can we manage such a big thing?" Li Shun'er shook his head and said: "Even if Wang Yan becomes a hero of the Federation now, that is, killing a zombie, who can really say anything about the major event that determines the life and death of the Federation?"
Zhang Xixi listened, but just drank in a sullen voice.
There are some things, he just told Wang Yi, and the other classmates were not involved, so he naturally kept silent.
In fact, it has been Professor Lan Xuelong recently, and he has begun to make preparations in full swing, planning to find the legendary holy land, ascend to the Heavenly Palace, and find the last ray of life left for the human beings on the earth.
Regarding people with special genes, at this time, through continuous searching, Zhang Xixi has found three hundred and sixteen people.
But Professor Lan Xuelong, how to use these people with special genes to open the Heavenly Palace, this is a secret, and even Zhang Xixi doesn't know how the process is designed.
Regarding Wang Yi's situation, Zhang Xixi thought about it again and again, but decided to hide it.
Because Zhang Xixi has a feeling that Professor Lan Xuelong's plan this time is not so simple.
While he was drinking, Wang Yan's phone suddenly rang.
I looked at the number, and it was unfamiliar.
"Forget it, don't pick it up!"
Wang Yan glanced at it, put down the phone, and turned it on mute.
There have been a lot of harassing phone calls recently, and I don't know who leaked his personal communication number.
This is probably the distress of being a celebrity.
There are many people who want to be famous, and they squeeze their heads out at any cost, but after becoming famous, they find that the dull time in the past seems to be the real life, which is indeed very contradictory.
"You're Mr. Wang Yi, right?"
The owner of the hotel, I don't know when he found out about Wang Yan's whereabouts, also came over.
"It's me. ”
Wang Yan did not hide his identity, after all, there was no need for this.
He's a Union Hero, not a Federally Wanted.
The boss happily asked to take a photo with Wang Yan, and then gave them a few fine dishes, according to him, he would enlarge the group photo and hang it in a prominent position in the hotel lobby as a treasure of the town.
Everyone ate and drank this meal, and it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
In the end, Wang Yan called a group of substitute drivers and sent everyone back.
However, just as Wang Yan was about to retreat, Zhang Xixi drove back by himself.
"Hey, why did you drive yourself?"
After Wang Yi saw Zhang Xixi, he asked with some surprise.
At this time, Zhang Xixi drove the car without saying anything, and he was not drunk at all, as if he was a person who had never drunk, and he couldn't see any traces at all.
After Zhang Xixi stopped the car, he proposed to Wang Yi, "Get in my car and go for a ride together?"
"Two big men, what is the wind to carry?" Wang Yan felt a little weird, but still got into the car.
He wanted to see what Zhang Xixi's situation was, or if there was something important to tell him.
Sure enough, after Wang Yi got into the car, Zhang Xixi drove the car, circled around the ring highway, and then stopped by a nearby river.
The two got out of the car and walked to the river, listening to the sound of rushing water and looking at the full moon overhead, but they had a different feeling.
"You may not know, but recently we were doing a survey. Zhang Xixi took out a cigarette, lit it himself, and then swallowed a few smoke rings, and then said to Wang Yi: "The goal of the investigation involves almost all mankind. ”
"Such a big project?!" Wang Yan listened to this, and really asked with some surprise: "How did you do it?!Why have I never heard of it, and when was this investigation done?!"
In Wang Yan's impression, it seems that he has not received any special investigation.
But seeing that Zhang Xixi said with such certainty, Wang Yi was speculating, could it be that this kind of investigation was aimed at personal archives, so they were able to complete such work without anyone knowing?
"This is a survey that involves a genetic level, and the execution density is top secret. After all, Zhang Xixi told Wang Yi about this matter.
It's not that Zhang Xixi doesn't have a sense of secrecy, but he recently has a feeling that Professor Lan Xuelong's plan has too many uncertainties, and the probability of success is very low.
He was now a little skeptical, why did he become so superstitious about the project in the first place, and did it for five years?
Recently, Professor Lan Xuelong's whereabouts have become more and more strange, which gives Zhang Xixi a very bad feeling.
If you think about it this way, if Zhang Xixi wants to find someone to talk about the troubles in his heart, he can only find Wang Yan, the newly baked federal hero.
That's why he drove back in person and went for a ride with Wang Yan.
"The process of this matter is like this...... Zhang Xixi calmed down and told Wang Yan about his experience.
About half an hour later, Wang Yan finally listened to Zhang Xixi's story, which made him suddenly have a lot of anecdotes in his mind, and he still didn't believe it.
"Your department, called the Outer Space Research Center?" Wang Yan frowned and asked, "I remember that there is another organization called the Outer Space Affairs Administration, and there is a person named Qin Yuanqiao in them, and he once sent a private message to remind me when I was fighting zombies. These two institutions, is there any connection between them?"
Although Wang Yi had never seen Qin Yuanqiao, Qin Yuanqiao had sent a private message to Wang Yin, reminding him of the conspiracy to evolve a second-level zombie, and Wang Yi must have been sincere about this.
Later, Qin Yuanqiao also sent a message to Wang Yin, explaining his position and as the heir of the Qin family, he sent him a formal invitation to join, but Wang Yan had already worked closely with the Tang family, so of course he politely declined Qin Yuanqiao's kindness.
But even so, the personal friendship between the two of them can be regarded as officially established.
At this time, after hearing Zhang Xixi say the name of their department, Wang Yan couldn't help but think of Qin Yuanqiao's organization, so he asked casually.
"That's different. Zhang Xixi was relatively clear about this matter, and he explained: "The Qin Yuanqiao you mentioned, I also know that he is the son of the Qin family and a very powerful heir. The Outer Space Affairs Administration, where they work, is actually a department under the military, focusing on the monitoring of outer space civilizations, and has no research on mysterious phenomena. Our Centre for Outer Space Studies, on the other hand, is a special department privately funded by the federal hierarchy and is not accountable to anyone else. The object of our research includes quite a lot of content, and strange forces and confusion are not a problem. You should get the idea, right?"
Wang Yan nodded and said, "I understand, you are actually a mysterious organization that studies some mysterious phenomena. ”
"That's pretty much it. Zhang Xixi nodded in agreement.
Wang Yan is still very curious about Zhang Xixi and their department, "Have you ever researched anything interesting?"
"Absolutely. Zhang Xixi casually took out a few gadgets from his pocket, "You see, this is used to eliminate short-term memory, this is used to quickly relieve hangover, this can change the light structure around the human body in a small range, so as to achieve the purpose of basic stealth, and some of these are very practical gadgets." ”
These things that Zhang Xixi took out don't look big, but they are very useful, just like those tools in science fiction blockbusters, which is a little desirable.
"I didn't expect it, are these the power of science and technology?" After Wang Yan saw the effect of these gadgets with his own eyes, he was also very shocked in his heart, he really didn't know that there was such a special department in the Federation, and so many practical inventions had been made.
It can be seen that there are capable people everywhere in the Federation, but some departments have kept a low profile.
"Your Professor Lan Xuelong, what kind of Heavenly Palace did you really find?" Thinking of this question, Wang Yan's curiosity rose.
"The records of the Heavenly Palace have only remained in the oral tradition of a few people since ancient times. Zhang Xixi replied: "Professor Lan Xuelong spent thirty years studying historical materials, and spent another thirty years traveling to all the places where the Heavenly Palace might exist, but he still found nothing, until twenty years ago, by chance, in a very ordinary ancient manuscript, he got the exact news about the location of the Heavenly Palace. Now, he was finally able to lock down the specific location of the Heavenly Palace, and at the same time found a way to open the Heavenly Palace. ”
"What's in the Heavenly Palace?"
For this question, Wang Yi is more curious.
"It is said that inside the Heavenly Palace, there is everything you want!" Zhang Xixi replied.
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "That's a lie, right? I don't believe in such a legend!"
Zhang Xixi said with a wry smile: "I didn't believe in this before, but sometimes, when you see a lot of things, it will inevitably shake your previous beliefs." ”
"Perhaps?"
Speaking of this, Wang Yi himself scratched his head a little.
When he thought about it, his own experience was full of all kinds of unbelievable changes.
There is also the ascended immortal master he followed Yan Xiaofei to visit, and the light blue four-sided crystal left by the immortal master, which is still firmly hidden in his dantian.
It's really hard to say such a thing, who knows what the final result will be?
Then, Wang Yi thought of another thing.
"You just said that you have screened a group of people from the genetic level, and Professor Lan said that these people are helpful in opening the Heavenly Palace?" Wang Yan suddenly thought about it: "Do you think this Professor Lan will sacrifice some people to a certain guardian god of the Heavenly Palace, and then get the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Palace?"
After Zhang Xixi listened to it, his scalp felt a little troubled, "You probably read too many online novels, right?
"That maybe!" Wang Yan shook his head and said, "If this is not the case, why does Professor Lan have to collect all the special gene carriers that he can find? From this point of view, it is indeed possible for him to do unbelievable things! You can think about it, does he usually behave strangely, not quite the same as a normal person?"
After listening to Wang Yi's words, Zhang Xixi's confidence in Professor Lan Xuelong was also a little shaken.
It seems that this Professor Lan Xuelong is really a little strange.
Not to mention anything else, just because he is one hundred and twenty years old, he still doesn't look very old, and he can still stick to the energy on the front line of work, which is very doubtful.
And sometimes, Professor Lan Xuelong's performance is indeed different from ordinary people.
"Perhaps, I should pay attention to this matter. Zhang Xixi frowned.
Now his heart is also a little messed up.
If this Professor Lan Xuelong, as Wang Yi guessed, is not a good person, or even a human being, then is the project they are carrying out to open the Heavenly Palace a good thing or a bad thing for the human beings on the earth?
In this case, no one dares to make this guarantee.
The more Zhang Xixi thought about it, the more frightened he became, his face changed a little, obviously after Wang Yan's inspiration, he was a little brainy.
Wang Yan looked at Zhang Xixi and found that a man with a "discolored" face could actually behave so well, which is really unreasonable.
Fortunately, his orientation is very correct, and he has been an old classmate with Zhang Xixi for many years, so he can finally be immune to these influences, otherwise, two big men will stand by the river in the dark and talk about their hearts, and it is really easy for some indescribable situations to happen.
Thinking about this, Wang Yi couldn't help wiping a cold sweat with his hand and silently reciting the core values of socialism three times, which can be regarded as returning to normal.
"Do you have any ideas, say it, I'll help you with the staff. Wang Yan decided to find some topic, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing for the two of them to stand here without talking.
Zhang Xixi thought for a while, and then said to him: "I have an immature idea, first get Professor Lan's personal file, analyze his life experience, and see if I can find anything different? If he really has problems as you said, it will be devastating for the entire Outer Space Research Center!"
What Zhang Xixi is most worried about now is what Wang Yi told him, about whether Professor Lan is a human being.
If it can really be confirmed that Professor Lan is not human, then Professor Lan's attempt to collect information on special genetic humans and gather them together must have a terrible ulterior purpose.
If this is really the case, Zhang Xixi feels that he should stand up and stop this big conspiracy.
Just thinking about this matter, Zhang Xixi couldn't help but feel a strong worry about the future of the earth.
"If the purpose of the Heavenly Palace Project is not to save the earth, what will our earth rely on to save it?" Zhang Xixi's heart felt extremely heavy, and he couldn't breathe through it.
The wind blew by the river, and it was a little cold.
The moon is beginning to set in the west, and it looks like it will soon be dawn.
The two of them stood here for most of the night unconsciously, and I am afraid that few people would believe what they said.
"Don't think about it so much! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! You must believe that the earth has also experienced strong winds and waves, and in addition to us, there are many people of insight who have been protecting its safety!" Wang Yan still focused most of his energy at this time on how to deal with the zombie army, and he felt that this matter was the most important thing in reality, so he persuaded Zhang Xixi not to worry too much.
"I hope so!"
Zhang Xixi nodded, and then the two of them returned to the car.
Sending Wang Yi back to the door, when he got out of the car, Zhang Xixi couldn't help but say, "Actually, there is one thing that I haven't told the professor about, your special gene index is more than 2,000 times that of others. ”
"What?!"
When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
