third rebirth

Ye Xiao's body trembled.

Ling Chen's hand on his waist stopped immediately, sensing something was wrong, sat up and lifted Ye Xiao's clothes, and saw a large bruise on his abdomen.

Ye Xiao's skin was white, and the wound on the lining was even more glaring.It was as if magma had exploded in Ling Chen's mind, his eyes darkened, and he was worried that he would scare Ye Xiao, so he tried his best to control his tone, "Did you get injured during the fight?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "Yeah." He added, "It's just a little pain, it's okay."

Knowing that because of his previous experiences, Ye Xiao would subconsciously cover up to prevent the people around him from finding out that he was injured.Blaming himself for not being careful enough, for not discovering earlier, Ling Chen took a breath slowly, and smiled at Ye Xiao, "Where else did you get hurt?"

"No more, only here." Ye Xiao thought for a while, and stretched out his right hand, "The tiger's mouth and arms are a little sore, and the man with vertical pupils is too strong." .

Ling Chen kissed the back of his hand, first peeled off a toffee for him to eat, then got out of bed and took the medical spray, sprayed the liquid medicine on the wound carefully, and gently kneaded his arm and tiger's mouth .

The single room is very quiet, only the "呲" sound of the spray.Ye Xiao leaned back on the pillow, looked at Ling Chen with his head down, was stunned for a while, and suddenly said, "That's great."

Ling Chen raised his eyes and laughed at him, "That's all right? Why aren't you greedy at all?"

Ye Xiao stopped talking, just laughed.

Seeing his crooked brows and eyes, Ling Chen was in such a good mood, "Why is our little Maomao so obedient?"

At this time, there was a sudden "bang bang" knock on the door, followed by Jiang Mu's voice, "Brother Chen, there is a situation."

Knowing that it's not an important matter, Jiang Mu will not come to him.Ling Chen sighed, "It's really hard to sleep." He kissed the back of Ye Xiao's hand again, "Xiao Mao Mao sleeps by herself first, and I will deal with things."

Ye Xiao followed suit, "I'm with you."

Ling Chen pinched the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "You little stalker."

The time had passed zero, and in the main control room, Jia Lan and Jiang Cancan were standing in front of the monitor, their usual smiles gone.Seeing Ling Chen and Ye Xiao approaching, Jia Lan stepped aside, "Brother Chen, the situation is not right."

Ling Chen looked at the screen and frowned, "What is approaching?"

"I don't know." It was Jiang Mu who answered the call, and he pointed to the densely packed red dots on the screen. Explosive, swept to thermal reaction."

"Towards the command center?"

"No." Jiang Mu shook his head, "I calculated the travel route of the unknown and found that their target location is a research institute next to the command center."

Ye Xiao looked at the [-]D map that Jiang Mu called out on the screen, and confirmed, "It is indeed Qiu Guanghan's Institute of Botany."

Several people looked at each other and felt that something was unusual.

Jiang Cancan patted his back, wondering, "If it's an attack on the command center, it's normal, it may be Harrison's backup. But what kind of operation is it to attack a botanical research institute?"

Ling Chen looked at the flashing red screen and pondered, "Maybe it's not a batch."

Jiang Cancan was confused, "Not a batch?"

"Well, Xia Yunfeng should be hesitant to hand us over to the Holy Inquisitor together with the regional core because of the high-level management. He thinks it can't be delayed any longer, so he cooperates with Harrison and opens the door for Harrison to bring people in. Go to the core of the area." Ling Chen glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the screen, "If it was backup, it wouldn't have taken so long to arrive, the day lily is cold."

Jiang Mu agreed, "So it is very possible that there are indeed two waves of people. Harrison attacked the command center for the core of the area. And the wave that is coming soon may be for something in the Botanical Research Institute. It's just not for the time being. It is clear whether the two attacks are connected."

Jia Lan added, "From this point of view, it seems very strange that all high-level executives were suddenly summoned to a secret meeting in the first district."

"Well, this timing is really strange." Ling Chen held Ye Xiao's wrist with his uninjured hand, thinking for a moment, "How long will the unknown arrive?"

Jiang Mu quickly calculated the result, "25 minutes to half an hour."

Ling Chen nodded, "Connect to Meng Yang."

Within three seconds after the communication request was sent, Meng Yang's face appeared on the screen, "Commander Ling!"

"Are there civilian gathering areas near the command center?"

Meng Yang didn't know why Ling Chen asked this question, but he still answered in detail, "No, we have a specially allocated piece of land in the outer suburbs of City A."

"How many research institutes are there around?"

"There are three nearby, ordnance, armored vehicles, and a plant research institute, which studies how to improve the ability of plants to resist disasters."

Ling Chen nodded and told the general situation, "You bring your people to the main control room to sit in charge, and I will take them to the Botany Research Institute."

Meng Yang was dazed by the two consecutive attacks, but he knew it was an emergency and couldn't tolerate a second of delay, "Yes! We'll be there soon!"

Meng Yang brought a small team over quickly, sweating all over his forehead.Ling Chen got up, straightened his clothes, and formally bowed to Meng Yang, "I leave it to you."

Meng Yang put his fingertips on the end of his eyebrows, his eyes were firm, "I will not disgrace my life!"

After the handover, Ling Chen led the people outside, and just as he got downstairs, he heard a "boom".Jiang Mu looked to the side and rear, "The protective net is raised." At the same time, the sharp siren sounded again, "Level [-] alert, level [-] alert..."

The five people stopped paying attention to the situation in the main control room, found a patrol car, and drove all the way to the Botanical Research Institute.

Jia Lan was in charge of driving, she asked Ling Chen, "Brother Chen, should we go directly to Qiu Guanghan, or go in quietly?"

"Time is too tight, so ask directly."

Because of the sudden sound of the siren in the middle of the night, no one fell asleep.A small light was turned on in the hall of the research institute, and Qiu Guanghan took Yu Feile and a few students to wait in the rest area, waiting for arrangements.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Qiu Guanghan stood up and was a little surprised when he saw someone was invited, "Why are you here?"

Holding a cup of coffee, Dong Lingling was in a daze. When she saw Ye Xiao standing next to Ling Chen, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Something happened just now. I went to knock on the door of your room, but I didn't expect you to be inside. It scared me to death."

Ye Xiao didn't know how to explain it, so he pulled Ling Chen's clothes covertly, Ling Chen understood, and answered, "He came to look for me, because it was too late and I was afraid you would fall asleep, so he didn't tell you." He looked at Qiu Guanghan, "Second Department, Ling Chen, ID number, E311, I want to ask you something."

Dong Lingling was surprised, "You... aren't you mercenaries?"

Ling Chen: "Sorry, because I was on a mission at the time and needed to keep it secret, so I forged my identity."

Dong Lingling nodded understandingly, "It's okay, it's okay, let's carry out the mission!"

Qiu Guanghan stood up, and several people sat in the reception area.

Ling Chen got straight to the point, "In about 10 minutes, there will be a wave of attacks. The enemy's attack target is this research institute. So we want to find out if there is anything special in the research institute, or if there is any special attack going on. experiment?"

Qiu Guanghan was still wearing a white lab coat, and his eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night. He raised his hand, squeezed the space between his brows wearily, pondered for a while, and finally made a decision, "Come with me."

Before leaving, he told Yu Feile, "Professor Yu, please take them to evacuate, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Yu Feile nodded, "Don't worry."

Several people walked into the elevator car, Qiu Guanghan verified his identity through his iris, and pressed the negative third floor. With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and a burst of cold air rushed in.

Qiu Guanghan introduced, "I am the only one who can come down here, and I am doing the research alone." He led the people inside, and said, "My students have always thought that I am very good, and I can apply for it on my own. Funds for big projects, but in fact, those projects on the surface, such as how to improve the ability of plants to resist disasters, are all deceptive, and the research I am really doing is the grafting of human and plant genes.”

He stood in front of a door, entered his fingerprints and irises, and sighed, "I probably know why someone came to the research institute on purpose—my experiment is about to produce results."

Ling Chen frowned, "Grafting of human and plant genes? How long has this experiment been going on?"

Qiu Guanghan: "It didn't take long. About a month ago, I was given a sample, asking me to study the sample thoroughly and copy this technology. It also emphasized that the results must be produced as soon as possible."

Ling Chen remembered that when he met You Long before, they were ordered to go to a research institute to destroy the experimental products inside and bring back the experimental samples, so they were intercepted and killed by the Holy Order.So is there a part of the high-level people who want to use the regional core in exchange for the Holy Order's gene fusion technology, and after thorough research, use this technology to regain the regional core?

Entering the innermost laboratory, Qiu Guanghan pointed to the cuboid container made of frosted glass in the center, "If my guess is correct, their goal should be this."

Jiang Cancan looked at the rectangular container nearly three meters high, "Is the experimental product inside?"

Qiu Guanghan nodded, "Yes." As he spoke, he walked towards the rectangular container.

At this time, Ye Xiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Don't move."

Jiang Cancan reacted quickly and moved quickly, grabbing Qiu Guanghan's arm.Ye Xiao stared at the container and said affirmatively, "The things inside are moving."

Jiang Cancan swallowed, "Master Can, I have goosebumps!" He rubbed his arm, "Could it be the Rafflesia flower that I met before?"

Jialan almost jumped up and covered his mouth, "Don't beep, you are super accurate every time you beep!"

Jiang Cancan quickly covered her mouth.

Ye Xiao had already rested his hand on the handle of the knife, looking at the cuboid container warily.Ling Chen asked Qiu Guanghan, "What's inside?"

"A specially bred vine with tough stems, waterlogging and drought tolerance."

At this moment, with a "bang", the glass container was penetrated from the inside, and the slag was splashed in all directions. A crimson vine as thick as an arm stretched out, and the tip with long thorns struck like a wind.After several "bang" sounds in succession, three or four more vines came out.

Ye Xiao reacted extremely quickly, swooped down with the long knife in hand, then jumped up out of thin air with his toes pointing to the ground, the blade cut down, and the frontmost vine broke from the middle and fell to the ground.

Jiang Cancan and the others each contracted a vine, and when the bullet hit it, it was quickly smashed to pieces.Probably because of the pain, the vine retracted into the container again, and there was no movement for a while.

Ling Chen raised his hand, "Jia Lan, give me the gun."

"Okay!" Jia Lan took off the heavy bag that had been carried on her back and handed it to Ling Chen.

Realizing what Ling Chen wanted to do, Qiu Guanghan's complexion changed slightly, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.He had already discovered that the vines were trying to attack them.It's a pity, but he can understand it.

With a "bang" sound, the small blasting bomb precisely hit the base of the container, and exploded with a loud bang. The glass container was completely shattered and scattered all over the ground.

Ling Chen took another shot cautiously, making sure that the vines had been completely smashed. After there was no more movement, he put away the gun and looked at Qiu Guanghan, "Teacher Qiu, bring the experimental materials and come with us."

Qiu Guanghan took a deep breath, "Okay, wait a minute!" After speaking, he turned and stood in front of the host.

Taking advantage of the gap, Ling Chen was worried that Ye Xiao was uncomfortable, so he helped him rub the wrist of his right hand.

Ye Xiao suddenly said, "There are footsteps outside, from two people, a man and a woman." He tilted his head, "...it's a bit strange."

Soon, several people knew what Ye Xiao's "strange" meant.

It was Yu Feile and Dong Lingling who came, but Yu Feile held Dong Lingling firmly, and the gun in his hand was pressed against the other's temple, while Dong Lingling's mouth was blocked by cloth, her eyes were panicked, and her face was pale .

Qiu Guanghan looked shocked, "...Assistant Yu? What are you doing?"

Yu Feile had a gun pouch hanging on his waist, and he held the gun very skillfully, as if he were a veteran.With the camouflage removed, his facial features showed a bit of evil.

Ling Chen said in a deep voice, "A person from the Holy Order?"

Yu Feile didn't answer, and directly offered conditions, "I was very interested in Teacher Qiu's experiment before, but it seems to have failed now." He swept the debris on the ground and sighed, "The uncontrolled experiment , It’s useless to make it, what a pity.”

As he said that, his eyes locked on Ye Xiao, his eyes were warm, "However, I have something more interesting now."

Ling Chen blocked Ye Xiao behind him.

Yu Feile raised his chin, "Give me a tube of Ye Xiao's blood, and I'll let Dong Lingling go. One tube of blood for one life, is this a good deal?"

He then added, "Oh, by the way, did you see this little thing on my wrist? As long as you press it down, the whole research institute will explode, and with a bang, it will explode directly!" He smiled strangely, "I, along with everyone present , it will also be fried until there is no ash left, isn’t it interesting? Is the thorn stimulating?”

Jiang Mu said in a low voice, "It's true. He wears the controller of KL's new long-range time bomb on his wrist. It's very easy to blow up a research institute."

Ye Xiao said calmly, "I'll give it to you."

Yu Feile laughed, "I just like such a straightforward person!"

The crimson blood was poured into the glass tube, Ye Xiao looked at Yu Feile, "Let Dong Lingling go."

Yu Feile tapped the ground, "Roll the thing off the ground."

Ye Xiao followed suit.

After the dark red glass tube reached Yu Feile's feet, he ordered Dong Lingling, "You pick it up for me."

Dong Lingling knelt down and picked up the glass tube, the gun in Yu Feile's hand was still pointed steadily at the top of Dong Lingling's head.

It wasn't until he put the glass tube into his pocket that Yu Feile grinned and said, "Thank you." He dragged Dong Lingling back, "The deal is concluded, I'm not a dishonest person. When I get to the door, I will If I let him go, I have to protect my own safety, don't I?"

As he spoke, he backed away, perhaps because the target had already been obtained, Yu Feile's expression relaxed a lot.

At this moment, Dong Lingling finally managed to spit out the cloth in her mouth, then quickly lowered her head, and bit Yu Feile's arm, blood immediately overflowed.

In the blink of an eye, no one saw clearly how Ling Chen raised the gun and pulled the trigger. Two consecutive shots fired, and the bullets grazed Dong Lingling's head, hitting Yu Feile's left and right elbows respectively, causing blood to splash.

Ling Chen looked cold and sneered, "Who gave you the confidence to come here alone to make trouble?"

At the same time that Fei Le was shot, Jia Lan flew forward with extreme agility, and restrained him with two blows.

Ling Chen stepped forward, pulled out the glass tube containing Ye Xiao's blood, and pointed the gun between Feile's eyebrows, "Tell me, who are you."

Beside, the corner of Dong Lingling's mouth was full of blood, she wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and smiled at Ye Xiao who came over, "Thank you, I'm fine... I'm fine."

That is to say, but she is just an ordinary student who has just escaped from death and her legs are shaking.

Ye Xiao fumbled in his pocket, found a fruit candy, handed it to Dong Lingling, imitating Ling Chen's tone, "You are very brave, this is a reward."

Dong Lingling took the fruit candy with shaking hands, peeled it off and stuffed it into her mouth, "Thank you."

Ling Chen's gun was still pointing at Fei Le's eyebrows, he squatted down, and crushed the muzzle of the gun, "Last chance, talk."

Everything on Yu Feile's body was searched, including the bomb controller on his wrist, which was also taken off by Jiang Mu early in the morning, and it was completely dismantled in a few strokes.

Yu Feile asked with a smile, "If you tell me, will you let me go?"

Ling Chen: "Not really, but it will make your death easier and less painful."

Yu Feile stared at Ling Chen, "Aren't you from the second department, and you still torture prisoners?"

As if he heard some joke, Ling Chen raised his lips, "Don't you know that every year, the second part gets the most warnings and punishments?"

Jialan rolled her eyes—is it necessary to say such a thing in such a proud and complacent tone?

Yu Feile was sure that what Ling Chen said was true, and finally opened his mouth.

He forged his resume and successfully joined Qiu Guanghan's team in order to monitor the progress of the other party's experimental research in real time and look for opportunities to sabotage.But Qiu Guanghan was very careful, he never found a chance.Seeing that the experiment was about to succeed, he sent a message to the top, but he didn't expect Ling Chen and the others to get involved.

Ling Chen didn't move his eyebrows, and asked, "What about Ye Xiao's blood?"

Mentioning this, Yu Feile's eyes became frenzied, "When he rushed to the giant frog, his skills were amazing! Which laboratory is he from? It's perfect! It's better than any experimental product I've ever seen. They are all more perfect! There is no sign of gene fusion at all!"

Ling Chen frowned in disgust, and immediately killed him, then turned his head and told Jiang Mu, "Connect to Meng Yang."

Soon, Meng Yang's face appeared on the screen. He was gasping for breath, but his expression was excited, "Commander Ling, a group of strange birds are coming, all with bombs strapped to them. We directly fired explosive bombs at fixed points. Everything has been solved." He showed his big white teeth, "If the main control room is not in our hands, we really wouldn't be able to find these birds at night."

Ling Chen nodded, "I'm going to trouble you again, come and pick up a few people."

Meng Yang responded positively, "Come right away!"

Coming out of the research institute, there was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, which was pungent and pungent.On the side, Dong Lingling's younger siblings were comforting her, Ye Xiao took a few glances and felt relieved, and did not go there.

Ling Chen felt sour in his heart, and asked, "Worried about her?"

Ye Xiao said "Yes", "She didn't mean me at all. When I was in the research institute, she took me to dinner every day, and reminded me to close the windows at night, otherwise I would catch a cold easily."

He remembers every bit of kindness others show him.

The sour water in Ling Chen's heart was replaced by heartache, and he stroked Ye Xiao's hair. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Mu suddenly stood up, handed the communicator to Ling Chen, and said in a low voice, "The encrypted channel of the second part, Received another message."

Ling Chen's eyelids twitched, and when he looked over, he saw a few numbers on the screen, "Coordinates?"

Jiang Mu nodded, "It's the coordinates, and it's not far away."
