145 The Mystery of the End Times
The group followed Cong Zhenzhong back to the Academy of Sciences, Cong Zhenzhong said: "Do you want to have a meal first, or take a break first, or go back to the laboratory with me first?"
Zhuang Yao said: "I want to stay with Abu for a while and have a barbecue for us in the yard."
Cong Xia smiled and said, "This is a good suggestion, I will grill fish for Abu."
Abu "meowed" and was obviously excited about the proposal.
Cong Zhenzhong smiled and said, "That's it, then I'll participate too."
Cong Xia said in surprise: "Uncle Second, do you have time?"
"My daily work starts at 7:30, and now I have two hours left, so I can sleep a little less." He told his assistant, "Let the Logistics Department prepare the barbecue now."
Everyone gathered together in the yard where Abu was sleeping. They changed Abu to a clean nest and made a large yarn ball toy for Abu. It seemed that Abu was doing well.
Xiao Wang and several people from the logistics department started to work hard, and brought them a large number of folding chairs, and some people brought barbecue grills, carbon, pots, pans and other tools, while another group of people brought food.
A group of people came to the kitchen and started cooking for them. Cong Xia was not the turn of intervening, and he was happy to eat ready-made ones.
Everyone sat aside, Cong Zhenzhong said, "After you won in Xi'an, the news came back to Beijing as soon as possible. You did not disappoint us. This is the most memorable time in our battle to seize the puppet jade, because everyone came back alive, which has never happened before." Cong Zhenzhong looked at Cong Xia, "Xiao Xia, you played the greatest role in this."
Cong Xia smiled and said, "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I will never be able to complete such a task alone."
Cong Zhenzhong nodded, "That's right, this is a common achievement for everyone. On behalf of the Third District of the Academy of Sciences, I only congratulate you on your successful completion of the task."
Everyone had smiles on their faces, after all, being able to win triumphantly is the greatest victory.
Cong Zhenzhong said: "By the way, you will be interviewed by Xinhua News Agency tomorrow, just send someone there. The Dragon Blood Clan has always been Al as the spokesperson. As for you, I think Mr. Liu is the most suitable."
Liu Fengyu smiled and said, "Is it still the beautiful reporter last time? OK."
Tang Yanqiu's expression was a little unnatural, but he said nothing.
"Let's go back to the laboratory to talk about important things. Let's talk to me about the general situation first." Cong Zhenzhong was obviously very excited about the details of how they took out the puppet jade from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Cong Xia saved some confidential situations and described the situation that day to Cong Zhenzhong and Tang Tingzhi.
After listening, Cong Zhenzhong sighed: "The alien ability and regeneration ability of insects are really a miracle of life. If the mystery can be solved, it will be a transformative progress in genetic biology."
They chatted for a while, and the chef was ready at the same time.
This is the first time they enjoy an outdoor barbecue with dedicated service. They used to fill their stomachs, but now they can enjoy a delicious meal easily.
The people in the kitchen stewed fish soup for Abu in the largest pot. The fish soup was milky white, with a very attractive color and a fragrance that even people couldn't stand it if they smelled it.
Abu buried his head, and his big pink tongue kept licking the fish soup, eating it out of his mind.
Deng Xiao looked at the big pot of fish soup with a hurried eyes, a little greedy.
Cong Xia patted him and said with a smile: "People drink here and add tofu. Why are you always jealous of Abu's food? When will you starve you?"
Deng Xiao said: "Brother Cong, I don't know why, but I think Abu's food tastes so delicious, it seems that everything is very delicious."
"It is a cat, and cats like to eat fish. Let it eat fish every meal, of course it eats delicious food. Are you willing to let you eat fish every meal?"
Deng Xiao nodded immediately, "I like to eat other things."
Cong Xia rubbed his head, "That's fine. If you steal Abu's things, I'll let you only eat fish every day."
Deng Xiao quickly grabbed a large roast chicken leg and took a bite, "Well, it's delicious, it's so delicious."
Cong Xia also picked up pork belly and ate it. The things these chefs made were indeed much better than what they had in the wilderness. However, Cong Xia sometimes missed the scene when they were brushing hot pot and roasting rat meat together in the wind and snow. Although they were also full of dangers at that time, at least they didn’t have to bear so much responsibility, so that sometimes Cong Xia felt difficulty breathing when he thought about it. At that time, they all yearned for a better life with food and drink in Beijing. When they arrived here, they did not have to worry about eating and drinking, but they had to pay too much.
Cong Xia took a big bite of roasted mushrooms, and insisted that he would not think about those troubles, but just concentrate on eating and drinking and enjoy the victory.
After Abu licked the bottom of the pot, he started to deal with a pickled raw fish. Abu doesn't like meat without flavor. Recently, the fish I ate were specially marinated for it in the kitchen. It was both fresh and delicious. Abu eats hundreds of kilograms of food every day. Because it is there, the business on the aquatic products street has been driven as a whole.
Liu Fengyu touched Abu's legs, "Do you think it should take a shower? It's been two months."
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Aqing said, take a shower once every three months, otherwise their store would not have to do anything else. Last time he gave Abu a bath, the employees in their store rested for three days."
Zhuang Yao said: "It would be great if there was a large pond, just let it jump in and wash it."
Cong Zhenzhong said: "There are big fish in all the large ponds. When the fish grow up, their teeth will become bigger and it is very unsafe."
Zhuang Yao asked casually: "Is there any news in the South China Sea recently?"
Cong Zhenzhong smiled bitterly and said, "The day before yesterday, a group of killer whales were photographed. The average length was 40 meters. Before the end of the world, their largest one was almost no more than 10 meters."
"40 meters..." Cong Xia grinned, "It's so scary."
"At least two puppet jades were left in the South China Sea." Cong Zhenzhong sighed: "So far, we have never thought of any way to retrieve them. Our submarine is now like toys in the sea."
Shan Ming took a breath, "Hey, don't talk about such disappointing topics at this time."
Shen Changze was nestled in his arms, grabbed his clothes, shook them hard, opened his mouth but couldn't speak, babbling, looking a little pitiful.
Shan Ming rubbed his head and said with a smile: "No hurry."
Tang Tingzhidao: "I'll take him back to the laboratory to recover now."
"No, this kid is too long-winded. He even cares whether I change the socks or not. This is better, let my ears be purified for two days." Shan Ming pinched Shen Changze's fleshy little face and smiled happily.
Chen Changze opened his mouth and bit his finger.
Cong Xia smiled and drank a sip of wine. This wine was much better than the medical alcohol I drank yesterday. It was an authentic red wine. He had never let go and wasted good things.
Cheng Tianbi reminded him: "You just drank too much yesterday, so drink less today."
"Oh, just a little bit. Actually, I wasn't drunk very much yesterday, I just felt uncomfortable."
Cheng Tianbi glanced at him, "I feel unconscious when I lie on the bed, and I still say I am not drunk."
Liu Fengyu laughed beside him, "Oh Xiaoxia, there are people here who are so dissatisfied with it."
Cong Xia put the wine back awkwardly, shrank it aside, and lowered his head to eat meat.
Cheng Tianbi had no expression, but just looked at Cong Xia deeply.
Liu Fengyu looked at the two of them with a smile, and felt a little envious. It seemed that he was getting back to life and actually envious of two little virgins who didn't understand romantic feelings at all. He took a sip of wine and his eyes unconsciously floated towards Tang Yanqiu. Tang Yanqiu looked poor in appetite. After taking a few bites, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, sat aside in a daze. After feeling Liu Fengyu's gaze, he turned his face unconsciously. The two of them's eyes were in contact with the air and immediately separated.
After eating most of the sheep, Deng Xiao could hardly walk. However, seeing so many delicious food left, he was still unwilling to accept it. He simply turned into a big lizard more than three meters tall and continued to eat Haisai.
After Abu finished eating the fish, he hung his belly on the ground with satisfaction. Zhuang Yao lay on it and drank drinks, chatting with it in a low voice.
A group of people from the Dragon Blood Clan laughed loudly, it was so lively.
The sky gradually brightened and a new day officially began.
After everyone finished their meal, they followed Cong Zhenzhong back to the experimental area in the third area.
They handed the puppet jade obtained from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to Cong Zhenzhong. When the puppet jade was put into a special vessel and took it away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The people from the Dragon Blood Clan left, as if they were going to repair Chen Changze's body, while Cong Zhenzhong led them into the absolutely private conference room last time.
After launching the secret talk mode in the conference room, Cong Zhenzhong looked at them solemnly, "Now there are no outsiders, I want to know if you have anything you plan to tell me?"
Cong Xia took out two things from his arms, one was a box containing finger bones, and the other was the nine incense sticks that could not be distinguished from the material.
Cong Zhenzhong picked up the two things and looked at them. Cong Xia told Cong Zhenzhong the origin of these things. After hearing this, Cong Zhenzhong was surprised, "This box is completely in line with ancient jade? Zhuang Yao's right, this is by no means a coincidence. The appearance of this box must have its meaning."
Cong Xia smiled bitterly and said, "I feel now that there are too many dense things we need to untie. When we think of so many unknown things, our heads are big."
"Exploration is a process that a person has been experiencing throughout his life, and it will never end." Cong Zhenzhong said: "You must remember that our exploration has great significance to mankind, and you must remember this."
Cong Xia nodded.
Cong Zhenzhong put the box aside and picked up the incense stick, "This incense stick is really curious. Zhuang Yao will go to the laboratory with me later and identify the ingredients of these two things."
Zhuang Yao nodded, "I also brought back a can of incense ash with insect eggs and a can of adults from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I am curious about the fact that these insects absorb nutrients from the incense ash."
"Take it back together later." Cong Zhenzhong sighed, "There are too many things to do. Recently, the Academy of Sciences has recruited two more people in the brain region. I hope that more and more people in the brain region can be used, otherwise we will not be enough even if we work 24 hours a day."
Cong Xia patted Cong's arm in the middle of the army, "Uncle Second, don't be too tired, you know how important your health is."
Cong Zhenzhong smiled faintly and said, "I understand, I know it."
Cheng Tianbi said: "Have the bug aliens who had previously been involved in the Academy of Sciences found?"
Cong Zhenzhong sighed, "I found it. It was a guard who killed the insects at that time. These insects could completely deprive people of their self-awareness and control the human body. It was so terrible."
"Is that man dead now?"
Cong Zhenzhong said: "Die. We had already captured people alive at that time, but he committed suicide in prison. He didn't know how he committed suicide at that time. When he died, he was holding a bug in his hand and had no external injuries. But according to your experience, he obviously killed his brain worm."
"Or it should be said that it was his brain worm that made him kill himself." Zhuang Yao said: "The most terrifying thing about these insects is not to control people, but to control people, while also being able to use human wisdom to think from a human perspective, but always make decisions that are beneficial to the insects. It should be said that their minds have completely become insects."
"It's a pity that a rare ** experimenter died just like this. However, we have saved his body and are undergoing dissection these days. He is the same as the aliens you encounter. His entire body is made of bugs and can be dispersed and gathered at any time. It's such a magical life."
Zhuang Yao said: "Let's go to the laboratory. I want to see the anatomy of that alien man now."
Cong Zhenzhong said: "Okay, Zhuang Yao will follow me. Mr. Liu, Xiao Wang will arrange for you to meet the reporter later. You can go back and change your clothes first. Everyone else will act freely. I hope you can rest for a few days."
Liu Fengyu stretched, "I haven't taken a shower for several days and I feel so uncomfortable. After the shower, it's better to have time for me to take a nap."
Deng Xiao yawned, "I'll go and sleep with Abu. It was reluctant to let us go just now. It was so coquettish that I really couldn't stand it." After that, he ran out happily.
Cong Xia and Cheng Tianbi were planning to go back and rest. They had not had a good rest these two days. They drank until three or four o'clock the night before, and the next day they took a balloon boat for a day and couldn't sleep. Cong Xia now just wants to take a comfortable hot bath and have a good sleep.
After entering the house, Cong Xia took off her barbecue-flavored clothes, "Tianbi, are you tired? Do you want to take a shower first?"
Cheng Tianbi said: "No."
"Then I'll wash it first?"
The sky wall was bent down, and gently bit his ear, "Wash together."
Cong Xia was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing. He touched Cheng Tianbi's thick hair and whispered: "I'll go and let's take a bath together, okay?"
"Um."
Cong Xia ran into the bathroom excitedly, intending to enjoy his life.
