In the suburbs of New Jersey, in a deserted mountain forest.
"Moonstep!"
With a soft drink, Cao Gui jumped up and stepped on the air with his right foot. With a "pop" sound, white mist bloomed under Cao Gui's feet.
Then, using the force of the void, his whole body jumped up vertically. Without stopping, Cao Gui stepped forward with his left foot, and there was another "pop" sound of white smoke rising up.
Originally under the influence of gravity, the body that had fallen started to rise again.
Just stepping on the air like this, Cao Gui jumped higher and higher, but also jumped slower and slower. Moon Step is a physical skill, which consumes physical strength. Once the physical strength is exhausted, he can only fall back to the ground.
Finally, at a height of about a hundred meters, Cao Gui stopped using his Moon Steps and his whole body began to fall freely.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the mountain wind blew on Cao Gui's face like a knife.
But there was no panic on Cao Gui's face. He spread his hands sideways and stood upright with his feet, as if he was still standing on the ground.
Under the influence of gravity acceleration, Cao Gui fell faster and faster, and within a few seconds he was only 20 to 30 meters above the 100-meter altitude.
"Lanjiao!"
Cao Gui shouted softly and kicked out his right foot like a knife. The air exploded with a "bang" and a light blue slash whizzed out.
Whoosh!
Not far away, the tree crown fell with a sudden sound, and the cut was smooth and flat.
But Cao Gui in the air didn't feel any joy at all. He kept stepping on the void with his two feet, but he couldn't use the moon step and could only let his body fall freely.
"Oh, it's like this again..."
Cao Gui sighed depressedly, raised his hand to grab the cloud shell, and then released the ball cloud, which landed on the ball cloud with a "Duang" sound.
"I have a headache..."
Cao Gui scratched his head. The problem with Lan's kick was not big. As long as he had the strength, he could kick it as many times as he wanted. The problem was with Moon Step. As long as he made other movements in the air, he would not be able to continue using Moon Step.
To put it simply, you have to step on the moon step in one breath. Once you take a breath, it's gone.
It's a bit like the Wudang Sect's Tiyunzong. As a light skill, it's certainly qualified, but the problem is that the Moon Step is meant for air combat, not for escaping.
There is no fighting power at all!
Looking at the night sky, Cao Gui drove the ball clouds directly towards the house he bought in New Jersey. Cao Gui thought about the problem of Yuebu many times, but he couldn't analyze the reason.
The current solution is to use the memory of character cards. He happens to have a CP9 character card in his hand, which should be able to help.
Soon after, Cao Gui returned to his house, took off his clothes and got into bed.
"Yeah~, Cao... move gently, your neck is a little sore..." Gwen murmured.
Cao Gui twitched the corner of his mouth, slapped her on the butt, then stretched out his arms, took her into his arms, and fell asleep.
…
the next day.
Midtown New York University.
"Okay, get out of class is over now." On the podium, the teacher clapped his hands and said, "Gwen, Beth, and Cao Gui, you three come with me to the office."
The other students stood up and moved their bodies, but Cao Gui and the other three looked confused.
"What happened?" Gwen hugged Cao Gui's arm and asked softly.
"I don't know, won't we know if we go together?" Beth came over and said with a smile, imitating Gwen's example and hugged Cao Gui's left arm intimately.
Gwen had a black hair and pulled Cao Gui's arm away angrily, leaving Beth to hug her for a while.
"Ahem, stop making trouble, let's go to the office."
Cao Gui stopped the fight between the two and pulled the two girls, one gold and one black, towards the teacher's office.
"I have something to tell you." In the office, a middle-aged, semi-bald male teacher said slowly.
"What's the matter? Sir?" Cao Gui asked.
"The Osborne Group invites us to visit their biotechnology research. This is also an expansion of your knowledge. The school thinks this is a good way of education."
Cao Gui was shocked, what happened? Is my Spider-Woman about to appear?
But at this time, the teacher continued: "Originally, this kind of activity should be participated by the whole class, but the visiting location is on the sea and the research facilities are small."
"So, the school has decided that students with excellent grades in each grade will participate. You three are the students participating in the event."
Cao Gui and the other three looked at each other, a little surprised. It turned out that they were not in the Osborne Group, but on the sea.
"Teacher, may I ask...what are they studying?" Gwen asked.
"The activity of biological cells." The teacher spread his hands: "It is said to be related to fish. Once successful, Alzheimer's disease can be cured."
Alzheimer's disease...oh, it's Alzheimer's disease, Cao Gui suddenly understood.
"We are leaving in two days. You guys should go back and prepare... Harry Osborne is also going, he is the host." The teacher added.
"Okay, teacher." Cao Gui and the other three nodded and left the office together.
"Going to the sea to visit...the school is really busy with nothing to do." Beth complained.
"Nonsense, Osborne's scientific research achievements are very trustworthy." Gwen said angrily:
"Have you forgotten Dr. Connors from our school? He is one of the top scientists in the field of cell regeneration."
"I don't deny Dr. Connors, nor the Osborne Group." Beth spread her hands helplessly and said, "I just think it's too much trouble to go to the sea to visit or something."
"Cao, what do you think?"
Gwen also looked at Cao Gui, and they all wanted to know what Cao Gui was thinking.
"Well! What you said... all makes sense!" Cao Gui smiled slightly and nodded slowly.
Gwen:(?_?)
Beth:(???)
What a perfunctory man!
…
On a transport helicopter, Cao Gui, Beth, Gwen, and Harry sat in a row. Opposite them were three people Cao Gui was very familiar with: a little black fat man, an African-American girl, and a Dutchman.
of Peter Parker.
"Hello, Harry, Cao, and senior sister." Peter Parker said with a smile with white teeth: "These are my classmates, Ned and Michelle Jones."
"Hello, just call me M.J.." The chocolate-skinned female classmate said hello, and no longer paid attention to the four Cao Gui, but silently read a book. Instead, it was Peter who kept talking to Harry.
Non-stop.
"Okay, classmates." A thin woman with curly hair, flat chest, clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention to her:
"What we study is the secondary activation of brain cells. I think you, as high school students, also know that brain cells are the most complex cells in the human body, bar none!"
"So far, humans don't even know how the brain stores memories or recalls memories. We haven't even developed 10% of the brain. Once the brain cells die, it means a person's true death."
"So, our project is to repair and activate aging brain cells. If the research is successful, we will completely eliminate Alzheimer's disease!"
At this point, the voice of the curly-haired, flat-chested woman involuntarily increased by two points, her eyes suddenly widened, and her chest heaved... No, her chest was flat.
All in all, the woman looked extremely excited.
Cao Gui couldn't help but frown. In this woman, he seemed to see the shadow of those mad scientists who were desperate for research.
"Well, that's our marine laboratory." The curly-haired flat-chested man pointed at an iron building on the sea in the distance and said with a smile:
"There, you will see a great step forward in human medicine!"
The sun above his head was no longer strong, hanging feebly in the western sky, looking a little gentle and beautiful. Cao Gui's heart moved slightly, the sky... seemed to be getting dark soon?
