The atmosphere in the room was dull and solemn. Professor Mance's words were like spreading a thick layer of ice in the room, making the air freeze a bit.
Ange looked deeply at the scarlet wound on Lu Mingfei's chest. The wound was like a shrinking reptile slowly squirming in his sight. He then looked at Lu Mingfei's pale face, with his hard leather shoes tilted up.
It fell again and hit the metal ship plate lightly, making a crisp sound.
It seemed that someone had put a huge problem into Ange's mind. He pondered for a long time, as if heaven and man were at war.
"Principal." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "The injury I suffered just now is no less serious than Lu Mingfei's, and I was even close to death. But now the wound has almost recovered."
Chu Zihang pulled off the bandage wrapping his abdomen. There was originally a hideous blood hole, but now even the blood scab has peeled off, turning into a dark scar embedded in the flesh.
The subtext of Chu Zihang's words is obvious. If Lu Mingfei is a dragon, then he is also a dragon. No one can escape the relationship. If they are caught together, they will be killed together, and their heads will be scarred as big as a bowl.
Angers smiled and shook his head slightly, as if to shake some distracting thoughts out of his mind.
"Mance." Angers forced his eyes away from Lu Mingfei, "Can you fight for your life with a second-generation species single-handedly?"
"No." Professor Manns shook his head and answered truthfully. If the second-generation dragon attendant just wanted to catch up with the Monyach and kill him, it would probably only take five minutes. No, maybe even less!
"But he can." Ange pointed at the sleeping Lu Mingfei, "We mixed-race species are already considered aliens. We live alone and in the gap between the two races, dragons and humans."
"Children can do things that we cannot do. We should be proud of them. Don't label them with suspicion and alienation casually. This is not what they should bear."
"Principal, you are right." Professor Mance lowered his head, with a hint of shame in his tone.
"But it's better to keep this news as secret as possible. We can understand it, but those guys on the school board who are focused on money and interests may not necessarily think so." Ange said helplessly, rubbing his temples with his fingertips.
Temple, "If those guys know about it, they will have another reason to impeach me. Although they have not succeeded, it is quite a headache to make a small fuss for three days and a big fuss for five days."
As the old man said this, he still glanced at the boy on the bed who had just experienced a life-and-death game. There was a fleeting sigh at the end of his words.
"By the way, principal, we have salvaged as much of the dragon's scales, broken meat and bones as possible, and it is estimated that about one-third of it has sunk to the bottom of the river," Mance reported.
road.
"It's a huge harvest. When it's shipped back to the academy, Norma and the professors should have time to analyze and extract DNA." Angers nodded heavily, "I will communicate and discuss the rest with the top person in charge of the Yangtze Waterway Maritime Safety Administration.
Our people are responsible for salvage, and they will be destroyed on the spot after being salvaged."
"Also, Principal, we also found these during the salvage process." Mance quickly turned back after walking out of the alloy door, holding two Japanese long knives that were burnt black and had twisted blades.
When Chu Zihang saw the two knives that had been damaged by the violent explosion and were almost unrecognizable, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he opened his mouth, but remained silent.
If you guessed correctly, this is probably his Murasame and Lu Mingfei's authentic view of the world?
Well, the knife is indeed not lost. Junior brother, you are really a person of integrity!
"Bring them back to the academy together. The Equipment Department should have a way for them to add some alchemy technology to the blade while repairing it." Angers said to Professor Mance, and Mance nodded.
"The 'Kuimen Project' ends here." Angers finally concluded Mance's trip.
The Dragon King Norton was obviously not in the Bronze City. Otherwise, with such a fierce battle happening at his doorstep, the violent Dragon King would not have turned a blind eye and watched his dragon attendant being tortured and killed by ant-like humans.
Angers opened the black umbrella and walked to the deck, followed by Professor Mance and Chu Zihang. Dazzling lights were coming towards them from all directions. They were well-equipped local military police who blocked the entrance to the river embankment gate.
At this point, a searchlight shone on the Monyach, and the white light was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.
"The rain seems to have stopped." Chu Zihang looked up at the sky, where the gray clouds gradually dispersed.
"What a busy night!" Professor Manns lowered his body, which had been tense all night due to nervousness, and rubbed his shoulders and neck, which were already numb from exhaustion.
"It's so bright." Angers folded his umbrella and sighed with a smile.
He was not talking about the dazzling searchlights on the shore. He squinted, and the long wrinkles at the corners of his eyes folded together to form a deep ravine. His eyes looked through the lights to the distant horizon along with the rushing river.
.
The heavy rain that seemed to flood the world stopped, and the dark night that seemed to last forever passed peacefully. A faint fish belly white appeared on the edge of the distant sky.
Then the world shines brightly.
…
It's another night, upstream of the Three Gorges Gate.
"Did you catch anything?"
"No, I haven't seen anything after a busy night. Is this secret mission that the academy asked us to do reliable?"
"I heard that it was the principal who personally issued the mission. He said that there are still dragon carcasses at the bottom of the Three Gorges that have not been recovered. This kind of thing should not be joked about, right?"
"Then look for it again?"
Tonight the water of the Yangtze River is calm and the water is like a bottomless pool.
Ten fishing boats wandered on the river, looking from a distance like scattered sparks in the dark night sky.
The fishing boats were all people from the Engineering Department of Kassel College. They were responsible for salvaging and searching for the remaining dragon carcasses that sank to the bottom of the water due to the huge explosion in the "Kuimen Project" on the river.
However, no matter whether you use Norma's sonar detector or wear a diving suit and dive into the carpet to search, there are only countless abandoned shipwrecks, huge rocks and thick sand that sunk at the bottom of the river.
"Damn it, I've been looking for it all night, do you think dragon meat is soluble in water?"
"Isn't it because it was eaten by fish, shrimps, etc.?"
"That's a dragon. Even if the flesh is gone, there should still be some scales and bones, right? But now you can see all the shit!"
"It was probably blown into powder by the explosion and burned clean. This is the only way to find it. It's time to go back and report."
After all the fishing boats had evacuated the river, the river became eerily quiet, and the whole top of the gate was like a dark and silent abyss.
No one saw the looming huge black shadow swimming across the abyss. When the wind blew by, the giant trees on both sides made a rustling sound that kept echoing.
It's like someone hiding in the dark and crying secretly.
