Micho has always wondered why Mr. Ming Mingliang knew a lot about the characteristics of those mutated creatures, but he didn't tell the people who worked for the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" and didn't let them know enough information.

If the level of secrecy is not high enough for ordinary staff to not let them know, then it has to be said.

But Dr. Fang, as well as the rest of the team, has a high level of secrecy. In particular, Dr. Fang Pingfang, and Li Shiyu, who was in charge of security, had gone to the Qinling No Man's Land to carry out tasks before, and even served as the person in charge. The rabbit wood carving and other related items were also brought out by them, and Dr. Fang even presided over the detection and analysis of those things, and found the anomaly caused by the rabbit wood carving on the 18th, and closed the underground laboratory in time.

Now, this team is also led by Dr. Fang, and Mr. Liang has said many times that Dr. Fang should grasp the direction and make his own decisions. And the whole team has seen those two mutated creatures with their own eyes, and has been exposed to enough information. It seems that Mr. Liang should have a lot of trust in them.

It stands to reason that Mr. Liang should at least inform Dr. Fang of some information about the characteristics of the mutated organisms, otherwise how would she decide, how would she decide the direction of the investigation?

In fact, Micho had contacted Mr. Liang privately two days ago to inquire about the matter.

In fact, she has asked similar questions many times before, why those secret department staff and researchers in those laboratories seem to know very little about mutant organisms, and even don't know what their purpose is and what their research direction is.

But Mr. Liang did not give a direct answer to her question.

She then asked Mr. Liang if she could tell Dr. Fang or other team members about the characteristics of some of the mutated creatures she knew, and Mr. Liang replied, "It's up to you to decide according to the situation."

This made her very confused, and she couldn't figure out Mr. Liang's intentions.

So in the past two days, she has been thinking about whether to tell Dr. Fang and them, to what extent, and what is the reason for Mr. Liang's attitude.

But it wasn't until just now, after listening to the conversation between Dr. Fang and Mr. Liang, that she finally made a decision.

After entering the room, Dr. Fang sat her down and poured her a hot drink before sitting down in front of her and asking her if she had anything to say.

Looking at the steaming cup of instant coffee in her hand, Micho was in a trance for a while, recalling that the night she first arrived here, she was also talking in Dr. Fang's room, and asked Dr. Fang to tell her what happened in the Qinling Mountains, as well as the anomalies in the laboratory in Anti Town, and the peculiarities of the rabbit wood carving.

At that time, Dr. Fang also poured her a cup of hot drink, which I remember was hot milk.

And that night, she dreamed of the conversation with Dr. Fang, and also dreamed of Guo Tianxiang.

In the dream, Guo Tianxiang asked her for help and said, "Be careful Mr. Liang".

She knew that the dream was just a dream, it had nothing to do with reality, it didn't mean anything, and she didn't dream of Guo Tianxiang again after that, but she didn't know why, during this time, she always remembered that dream and thought of the sentence in the dream.

She also didn't know if her decision to tell Dr. Fang some information now was affected by that dream.

"Dr. Fang, I actually know some relevant information about the two creatures we're checking right now......" Michau said as he pondered his words.

Fang Pingfang didn't seem surprised by her words, but after nodding, she said first: "What you tell me, do you comply with the relevant terms of the confidentiality agreement?

Micho said, "No, I've asked before, what Mr. Liang means is that I can decide for myself." ”

Fang Pingfang nodded: "Then you say." ”

"If the two creatures we're investigating and looking for are what I think they are...... Then, they should not have been a new species from the beginning, and they were probably not what they are now, but ordinary or even common creatures. For example, the 'giant bird of prey' may have been just an ordinary bird. ”

"You mean, the characteristics that the 'giant bird of prey' and the 'invisible insect' are now exhibiting are the result of mutation?" asked Fang Pingfang, this possibility was actually something she had considered.

"If they're the kind of creatures I think they are," Micho said...... Well, for now, I think so. Then, they should have several characteristics, one is blood-soaking, no matter what kind of food they originally had, after mutating, they would use the blood of other creatures as their main food;

"The second is that their body tissues will quickly lose their activity after leaving the body, and then undergo drastic changes, turning into a fixed special fine powdery object, which is easy to dissipate in the air and is not easy to be captured by the naked eye, unlike the body tissues of ordinary organisms, which will have a relatively slow decomposition process;

"The third is that mutated creatures have the nature to hunt and prey on each other, or the demand. And some mutant creatures, after mutating, may be keen on the blood of the same kind...... So I speculate that there is a high probability that the 'invisible insect' is mutated from some kind of ant;

"The fourth is that this mutation may enhance the inherent characteristics of certain creatures, such as the 'giant bird of prey' being larger, more capable of flying, and more sensory abilities, or it may give them more exotic abilities, such as stealth, in order to adapt to the environment. ”

While Mi Qiao was talking, Fang Pingfang kept listening, listening and thinking at the same time.

After Mi Qiao finished speaking, Fang Pingfang got up and walked a few steps around the room, digesting the information.

She didn't question the veracity of the information, because Micho had no motive to lie to her, and many of the information was consistent with the phenomena she had actually observed, which could explain many doubts that could not be answered before.

She didn't question why Micho hadn't told him this crucial information until now, though it was clear that Micho hadn't just learned about it.

She is well aware of the peculiarities of the work she is doing now, and many things can only be answered on her own. A lot of questions, if others don't tell you, then you ask "why" and you won't get any answers, just like Mr. Liang's weird attitude towards their team.

"It's mutated from ordinary creatures, doesn't that mean...... Is it possible for people to have that kind of mutation?" Fang Pingfang stopped pacing around the room and asked Miqiao.

"Yes. Micho replied briefly.

This question made Mi Qiao think of Guo Tianxiang, while Fang Pingfang thought of the footprints, the cave, and the rabbit wood carving found in the Qinling Mountains.

But both of them thought of another person who might be involved in the mutation at the same time - Mr. Liang.

However, they all tacitly did not go further on this topic.

Fang Pingfang thought for a while and said, "I think I know the direction of our investigation next, and our focus should be on the 'mutation' of those creatures, their 'mutation causes', 'mutation process', and other relevant information, rather than themselves." I think that's what Mr. Liang wants us to look into. ”

Micho nodded: "I agree too." ”

Fang Pingfang said: "After listening to your words, I suddenly had a guess, could it be that on the night of the 20th, in that mountainous area, in addition to the 'giant birds of prey' and 'invisible insects', there was a third mutant creature that we didn't know. It may have wanted to kill the 'giant bird of prey', but it noticed the presence of the drone and was suspicious of us, so it wanted to use stones to alarm the bird of prey and get it out of our surveillance. As for why it was not discovered by the drone, it is likely that it has other 'stealth' means, just like the mutated 'invisible insect' cannot be detected by the naked eye, and the 'third mutant creature' may even have a way to avoid infrared thermal imaging and radar detection. ”

Micho nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, there was a mutant creature that could fly and had stronger 'stealth' abilities, flew to the side of our drone with that stone, and then threw the stone next to the 'giant raptor' to alarm it and let it spot the drone?"

Fang Pingfang said: "This is my conjecture, but this can really explain why the stone fell from that position and in that trajectory. Next, the main direction of our investigation is the cause and process of mutation of 'invisible insects' and 'giant birds of prey', and to verify this conjecture. ”

......

After sending Lao Xia for lunch, Xiang Kun spent the afternoon processing ingredients, preparing Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and chatting with his parents.

However, after knowing that Xiang Kun would cook something to eat at night and take it to the hospital to make supper for Xia Libing on duty, my mother directly looked for a relationship with her, and went to a friend of hers who was interested in making water, and got a fresh Daao Dragon, as well as some other expensive seafood.

Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is conceivable that even if it is a friendship price, the price will not be low.

In Xiang Kun's memory, in the past 30 years, only on the day he was admitted to college and received the admission letter, his mother got a lobster back for him to eat, and the one he bought at that time was a relatively less expensive wave dragon, and there was only a small one.

The always thrifty mother would suddenly be so arrogant, and he was a little surprised to buy so many seafood ingredients at a high price on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

"What's the matter, will you get it? This thing is so expensive, it's more expensive than your mother's mobile phone, you should be careful, don't spoil it......" After the lobster dragon came back, Xiang Ma leaned next to Xiang Kun and kept chattering.

Xiang Kun simply spread his hands and stepped out of the way: "Then I won't get it, you come." ”

"Hey, didn't you say you made it? You can make what you made, didn't Xiao Xia say that she likes the dishes you made? You can make it!" said Xiang Mom waving his hand.

Xiang Kun said helplessly: "Old ...... Xiao Xia didn't say that she likes to eat lobster. ”

"I asked at noon, and she said she loves seafood. ”

"At that time, she was eating shrimp, and you asked her if she liked seafood, and of course she said she did. Xiang Kun said, "Mom, how do you want to eat, eat sashimi, or steam, and get some vermicelli?"

"What kind of thorns, get cooked and eat!Hey, anyway, you can make whatever you think Xiao Xia likes to eat. Xiang Mom said.

"What do you mean...... The eastern star grouper, the octopus, and the crab are all for Xiao Xia?"

"That's right. Xiang Ma replied as a matter of course.

Xiang Kun resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Mom, do you treat her as a pig......?" Are you asking me to go directly to the Third Courtyard to set a table for her?"

Xiang Ma glared at him: "Won't you do the same?"

"Okay, let's do the same, let's eat the rest, what flavor do you and Dad want to eat?"

Although he had already made lobster when he went to Tang Baona's house for Christmas dinner last time, he had studied the recipe for a long time in advance, and the taste of the recipe was also unanimously praised.

But from Xiang Kun himself, he doesn't like to cook this kind of dish very much, the fresh Australian dragon itself has a very good taste and texture, leaving him not much room for play and targeted seasoning and cooking, and there is not much space for him to perform. If you use too much seasoning and too complicated cooking methods, it will feel a bit violent and a waste of ingredients.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has not done too much research on this ingredient, has not tried and summarized too much, and the cognitive model established is not comprehensive enough.

Xiang Kun finally processed half of the high-priced seafood bought by his mother, ate it with his parents in the shabu-shabu at night, and put the remaining half away for later use, and then cooked it before he went to find Lao Xia.

He thought about whether to make lobster and fish dumplings, but after considering the texture and taste of these ingredients, as well as the way to eat the dumplings and experience, he felt that it was still a bit wasteful, so he was still going to get some lobster vermicelli and fish soup to bring over.

At six o'clock, just before eating, Xiang Kun's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a video request from Little Apple.

Although Xiao Apple's eyes can't see, since Xiang Kun was pulled into the group with Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, and Lao Xia, he is now very proficient in video calls, especially with Tang Baona.

, the big UP master of station B, often guides Little Apple to sing through connected videos. "Yougiveloveabadname", which I sang with Little Apple before, was sent to Station B by Tang Baona, and the response was quite good. Tang Baona is already discussing with Little Apple whether to help her open an independent account and post some solo videos.

However, at this time, what you see in the video is not a small apple, but a golden sparkle.

The camera of the mobile phone is facing Jin Shining's cage, the door of the cage is open as always, and the canary Jin Shin is standing on the crossbar specially made for him by Xiang Kun, facing the camera.

"Jin Shanshan, it's a New Year's greeting to Uncle Xiang!" Outside the camera, the crisp voice of the little apple sounded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Shiningshan began to chirp.

Obviously, Jin Shanshan has direct feedback on her voice.

Little Apple also laughed, and then turned the camera back to herself, although she couldn't see it, but the long-term use made her accurately let the camera point to her face: "Uncle Xiang, do you hear it?" Jin Shanshan is wishing you a happy Spring Festival and wishing you prosperity!"

Xiang Kun also smiled and said, "Yes, little apple, Jin Shanshan was taught by you very well! It seems that you get along well...... Hey, I think it seems to have been raised a lot of weight by you? No wonder you listen to you so much, you give it a good meal!"

In fact, he could hear that most of the meaning expressed by Jin Shanshan's singing just now was joy, and there was also a little bit of showing off and being proud.

Huanxi can understand that the old owner who has been raising it for a few months with "hard work" through the video should naturally be happy, but what is the reason for showing off and being proud?
