When my consciousness regained consciousness, the sunlight outside the window was not as dazzling as before. I slowly opened my eyes and adjusted to the light with only a few blinks.Probably because of the awkward posture when I fell asleep, my neck and shoulders were uncomfortable, so I raised my hand to hold my shoulder and twisted it a few times before turning my head to look at Gerald.

He was still sitting in his seat, but both hands were already on the window, and his face was so close to the glass window that he was almost touching it.He breathed gently, his eyes were extremely focused, and the hot air he exhaled hit the window, bringing up a whole piece of damp fog.I tilted my head slightly, moved closer to him, and overlapped my eyes with his vision as much as possible, only then did I understand the reason why he was so focused and curious.

It's snowing outside.The flying altitude of the aircraft is very low, but the speed is too fast, there is no way to see the scene of these snowflakes falling slowly, but there are a few pieces of snow stuck to the connection between the window and the aircraft shell, and you can distinguish them clearly if you look carefully What does the prototype look like.But Gerald put his hands on the glass window, and the heat slowly penetrated through it, quickly melting the small fragments. He stared at these corners outside the glass window, observing these small changes without moving.

The bases of the capital city and Jialimiweier are very warm or even hot. Even in winter, it is not so cold, and there is almost no chance of seeing snow.His memory has continued since he lived in that wasteland area until now. Although I don't know how many complete memories he has, it is not surprising that this should be the first time he has seen such a natural phenomenon as snow.

I sat aside and didn't disturb him, but turned my head to look at Niyo.He probably just woke up not long ago, and was patting his face sleepily, noticing my gaze, he raised his head and made a weird expression at me, then looked at Gerald's face The direction signaled.

I didn't quite understand what he wanted to express, but it was probably similar to mine or even more intense emotions, so I didn't try to guess, I just nodded slightly to show that I saw his signal, and turned my gaze back.

Gerald, after observing the small ice flakes outside the window for a long time, looked back at me as if to confirm my existence, and after realizing that I was still sitting in the same position and staring at him, he Turned back again.This time, he set his eyes a little farther, looking at the thick clouds that were even higher and farther away through the dim blue-gray outside the window.

Although it was about noon, the visibility outside the window was very low due to the snow, and it was almost impossible to see the ground, but one could probably guess how desolate the area was.The land here is not suitable for growing plants, let alone animals. People from various countries are unwilling to build cities here, and only regard this area as their territory and the only way to go to the north.Without too many creatures, it will of course appear more lifeless.

We simply settled for lunch on the aircraft, and arrived at the North Research Institute about half an hour later.This institute does not have a specific number, because apart from this institute in the entire northern region, there is only one clubhouse affiliated to the Bureau of Biological Evolution Research, and it does not belong to any special zone that needs to be managed, so we call it directly The Northern Research Institute is not given any special name.

I stood up and handed the letter to Niyo. He nodded knowingly, stretched his waist and exercised his muscles, and then opened the warehouse door first and jumped off the aircraft.

After I told the driver my contact information, I turned around and unbuckled Gerald's seat belt, asked him to stand up, and asked him to put on his coat, "It's cold outside, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, let him go immediately." I know that, even if I take corresponding measures, I don't know much about your physical condition, so it's better to be safe."

I also pulled up my neckline, patted his shoulder, bent over and walked out of the hatch.Outside the aircraft, there was a man wearing the uniform of a researcher at the Northern Research Institute, standing in front of Niyo with a smile and talking with him.

The ground was covered with a layer of not too thick white snow. Gerald was stunned for a moment when he stepped on the soft snow layer. He lowered his head to look at the situation under his feet, and put the other foot on it as well. On the ground, paused for a few seconds, raised his foot and stepped on the ground again.

I looked at his series of curious actions, couldn't help laughing, and explained: "This is snow, a form of existence that water molecules fall when they meet a cyclone with a suitable temperature in the air. It feels quite cool. , do you want to try it?"

I reached out and picked up a few flakes of freshly fallen snow on his shoulder, and they melted almost instantly on my fingertips, but that didn't stop me from dabbing the cool, damp water onto Gerald's face. Let him feel the temperature of snowflakes on his face.

Probably aware of this cold touch, he tilted his head slightly, stared at my retracted fingertips, then raised his hand and wiped it on his shoulder, and rubbed it between his fingertips a few times .

I smiled, let him continue to think about this feeling, and turned to look at the man and Niyo.They seemed to be having a good time talking—at least on the surface, talking and laughing, and patting each other on the shoulder now and then.

I let Gerald follow me, and grabbed his forearm with the back of my hand to keep him from getting too far away, and walked slowly to them.

"This is Doctor Leotir. I believe you must have heard of him. The one behind him is his bodyguard." Seeing me walking over, Niyo immediately introduced the man and said to me: "This It's Dr. Charles, head of the First Research Team at the Northern Institute."

"Hello." I nodded politely to him, and smiled and reached out to shake hands with him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you at this time, Dr. Leotir." Charles said politely, and praised verbally, "The benign HLM virus you released some time ago I am very impressed by the antibody report, and thank you for everything you have done for the virus patients."

"This is the result of the joint efforts of all our researchers. I have nothing to admire." I smiled and shook my head. "It is the responsibility and obligation of our researchers to study the method of cracking the HLM virus."

Charles nodded sympathetically, then looked at Gerald.I noticed his slightly puzzled eyes, so I explained: "His vocal cords have some problems, so it's not convenient for him to speak, please forgive me."

"Oh, that's right." Charles nodded knowingly, and without any doubts, he turned slightly to make way for us, "The weather has not been very good these days, gentlemen go in first Well, it's too cold outside."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to us, turned around and walked ahead to lead the way. I patted the back of Gerald's hand lightly, comforted him appropriately, and quickly followed.

The appearance of this research institute does look quite old, the roof and various platforms are covered with snow, and some lifting equipment on the left seems to have long been out of use, and all parts are covered with rust, which should have been abandoned for a long time.While observing these, I followed Charles into the gate of this institute.

From the inside, it is much better than I imagined. At least there is no mold on the walls or dirty floors. The lobby is very clean and the objects are arranged neatly.The recorder at the front desk was sitting in front of the system doing his work. Other than that, there were only a few researchers who occasionally passed by in the corridor. It seemed that the number of people should not be many.

"We have heard the specifics from President Fisher. Our director, Mr. Webster, has been in the office all the time. I will take the gentlemen there, and you can just hand over the documents to the director." Charles said. Walking on the road, he said to us, "We won't bother you during this period, so you don't have to worry about being interrupted."

"No problem." Niyo nodded, and said with a serious face, "Thank you, Dr. Charles."

I secretly thought it was funny, but I didn't show anything on the surface. I followed them slowly through the corridor and walked into the director's office.

This Director Webster was standing by the window and staring at the gray outside. After we entered, he turned around and nodded to us, "Hi, everyone, please sit down."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Webster." I sat down according to the position he pointed, still let Gerald sit beside me, and Niyo sat on the other side, "Mr. Hello."

"Our old friends haven't seen each other for a long time," Webster sat down at the other end of the table and said with a sad expression, "We still kept in touch with each other quite often, probably because there are more young people in the past two years." , old men like to talk to young people more, it feels like we are all getting younger too.”

He laughed a few times as he spoke, then shook his head and asked, "The old man Felischer should have asked you to bring me something, right? What is it?"

"It's some materials that haven't been released by the club recently, and there is also some information provided by your research institute. He wants to ask a few familiar friends to read it first, and then publish it systematically after confirming the authenticity of the materials." As I spoke, I took out the terminal and transmitted the information to his system, "Because the information needs to be kept absolutely confidential, it is not convenient to transmit it directly, so we will bring it to you directly."

"That's right." Webster nodded in understanding, "Aside from that, did he say anything else?"

"There's some more information about these materials," I said. "I'll tell you directly."
