"Boss, are you really not going to send him back?" Shen Wenyan finally couldn't help asking.

Su Fengzhou hugged his body with both hands, and his eyes stayed on the workbench not far away for a long time. His eyes fell into the busy figure, but he answered the question irrelevantly: "Do you know who that old gentleman is?"

In the administrative hall on the first floor, there are people coming and going from all over the place to do business.

The Consumer Inspection Department is nothing more than an ordinary action organization to the outside world. In addition to the sentries and guides who are busy with official duties, there are naturally many ordinary people who come and go in the office area.

At this time, the old man standing there signing the form had mottled white hair, black-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, gentle and kind-hearted.

Among the crowd who came and went, it seemed that he was just a relatively educated old man.

Shen Wenyan looked at it for a long time but didn't see any clues: "Who is it? Come to accept the job and go back. It should be someone from the research institute?"

"It is indeed from the research institute, but it is not from our Ningcheng." Su Fengzhou's gaze that had been staying for a long time was lightly retracted at this time, his eyes slowly fell, and he chuckled meaningfully, "This is from the General Research Institute. Dean Ji."

"Dean Ji?" Shen Wenyan was stunned for a moment, and almost bit off his tongue after he realized it, and stuttered involuntarily, "Ji, Ji Song?"

Su Fengzhou clicked his tongue, and said in a long tone: "Such a person actually came to our place to protect a scientific researcher from a branch. Don't you think it's very interesting?"

Shen Wenyan looked at his captain, hesitant to speak.

He doesn't know if it's interesting, but looking at the boss's appearance, he thinks it's quite interesting for the so-called "researcher".

However, it is really surprising that a person with the identity of Ji Song can suddenly appear in Ningcheng.

As we all know, when the alien crisis first appeared, it was the scientific research team led by Ji Song who first discovered the problem.

They put forward the idea of ​​alien species invasion through genetic sampling, because there was no theoretical basis, and they were almost imprisoned collectively on charges of disturbing public order.

Until—everything that happened later proved that all the theories put forward by Ji Song were correct.

After successive tragedies occurred, Ji Song was respectfully welcomed out of the supervision area by the upper-level leaders, but after all, he was old, and the root cause of his illness still fell during that period.But later, he still actively led the team to invest in the research and development of combat weapons against aliens, and has been struggling so far.

The conditions at that time were completely incomparable with the present, and there was no reference or basis at all during the battle.

Especially when it is difficult for ordinary guns and weapons to cause damage, in the face of the Alien Catacombs that popped up without warning, all the combat process can be called a blackout.In order to keep the peace, the martyrs of those years could only rely on their own flesh and blood to build a way to stop the alien invasion.

Countless people lost their lives at the hands of aliens, countless people were infected and killed, and countless people went on to follow.

It was under such a groundless background that Ji Song led a group of scientific researchers through countless upside-down days and nights, and even had extremely tragic experimental accidents during the period, before finally being able to launch a series of new models for aliens. arms.

Looking back at that period of history, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the support of this team that gradually recovered the disadvantages in human combat.

The fact is that since that critical cut-off point, the game between humans and the mysterious forces in the Catacombs has gradually entered the right track.

And even now, more than ten years later, whether it is the inspection department or the crypt sentry defense team, a large part of the weapons used by the frontline personnel still continue the research and development achievements of the year.

It shows great significance.

Due to the excessive work intensity during the research and development period, many researchers in the blue crystal scientific research team died suddenly on the workbench due to overwork.Others died unfortunately during on-site sample collection and assistance.

Today, the only three remaining researchers have become the leaders of the key research institutes. As for Ji Song, he has been sitting in the Capital Research Institute all the time, conducting overall control as the dean.

There is no doubt that after this crisis is over, the old man is destined to be recorded in history forever.But at this moment, he came to Ningcheng without any warning, and the first thing he did when he landed was to rush to rescue a young scientific researcher.

Indeed, it is hard not to make more associations.

It can be said that Su Fengzhou's gaze was not concealed at all, and Ying Xize could clearly feel it from a distance in the middle of the hall.

In fact, after a few times of contact, he has also discovered that the leader of the seventh team is indeed not an easy role to deal with. It can only be said that aside from the somewhat excessive curiosity, fortunately there is no difference in position between them. The conflict issue, otherwise I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

The whole process went through very smoothly, and Ying Xi Ze never took another look in Su Fengzhou's direction.

It wasn't until he walked out of this door that the sight on his back was finally completely blocked.

An unremarkable private car had already been waiting not far away.

Several people got into the car one after another.

Xiang Jiayan consciously sat in the co-pilot's seat, while Ying Xize followed Ji Song into the back seat.

When the car started to start slowly, he called out: "Teacher."

Not long after he flew from the capital and landed, Ji Song's brows were still a little tired.

Aside from the heavy responsibilities that are placed on his shoulders in this era, just looking at the benevolent eyebrows and eyes, he is nothing but an extremely kind old man.At such an age, he should have lived his life peacefully at home.

Ji Song took a look at Ying Xi Ze, and sighed lowly: "I lost weight."

Ying Xize did not answer.

Since his mother passed away, he has been sent to Ji Song's side, calling this senior scholar "teacher" just like his former deceased mother.

Although in the eyes of many people, Ji Song's support for him along the way is undoubtedly full of kindness, but he himself is very clear that the relationship between him and this supreme figure is more than a cooperative relationship.

Maybe it sounds a little cold-blooded, after all, ask yourself, whether it is because of self-blame for the mother's incident or not, Ji Song has dealt with Xi Ze really well in the past few years.

But since those things happened, his experiences have gradually gotten rid of normal human life, and it is inevitable that he feels the gradual loss of many human emotions.

However, he himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Ying Xize thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Ji Song was also used to Ying Xi Ze's cold and indifferent attitude, and smiled: "No trouble, originally I came to Ningcheng to find you, but it saves me going to socialize with those people in the research institute."

Speaking of this, his tone sank slightly, and the arc of the corner of his mouth also narrowed: "So, did you see Number Zero this time?"

A title that hadn't been mentioned for a long time suddenly passed by his ears, and even Ying Xize didn't notice that the breath around him suddenly sank.

Until, under the mental coercion that emanated unconsciously, the private car trembled faintly due to the uncontrollable trembling of the driver's hands.

The sudden shaking of the vehicle brought Ying Xize back to his senses, calmly restrained his mental strength: "It's not counted, but I can be sure it's it."

Ying Xize reached out and took out the crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.

When he handed it over, the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm: "The words are still as ugly as ever."

Ji Song took it, his hands trembling unavoidably, and his face completely sank: "The last explosion...it really didn't die."

"He's not dead, but he must have been seriously injured. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to reappear, and he wouldn't have been so annoyed that he was anxious to settle accounts with me." Ying Xi Ze looked sideways at the window, and the mottled scenery fell. In the light-colored pupils, the indifferent expression is unpredictable.

The hair next to the ear brushed softly over the cheek.

If you look closely, you can find that his hair color has become much lighter than a few years ago, and it even has a vague sense of transparency.

Xiang Jiayan sat in the passenger seat and listened to the conversation between the two.

Looking at Ying Xize in the rearview mirror, he wanted to say something, but he paused at the corner of his mouth, and finally swallowed the rest of the words.

"So, the leakage of the alienated body in the Chenshan Grotto is a 'gift' specially arranged for you?" After a subtle pause, Ji Song frowned, "It always likes such meaningless things. thing."

"It's afraid of me and doesn't dare to get too close. Of course, it only dares to use this childish way. And in its view, these may not be meaningless."

Ying Xize leaned back on the back seat slowly, the look in his eyes drifted away with the passing scenery outside, "Teacher, you taught me the principle of 'quantitative change leads to qualitative change' at the beginning. No matter whether it will be infected or not, it just I just want to find all the opportunities to try. Zero is just waiting for the same opportunity as the assistant, when I can't bear the genetic overload, sooner or later it will always explode completely."

The following words were slowly suspended in the small space, like calm ravings.

"The only difference is that we define that day as 'the end', but it is defined as 'rebirth'. So to be honest, whether it can completely break its delusion in the end, the work of the assistant is the real long way to go. Don't you think so?"

Word by word fell into his ears, and Xiang Jiayan's fingertips were embedded into his palm along with his clenched fist.

Knowing what the so-called job content was, his face was pale and he rarely responded to Xi Ze's words.

Ji Song glanced at the passenger seat and broke the silence: "Don't worry too much, your situation is different from No. Some are naive, and we will never allow this to happen."

If he was really so sure, he wouldn't have always followed a good friend by his side for so many years.

The corner of Ying Xize's mouth curled into a slight arc, and he didn't tell the truth when he saw it, "Maybe."

Ji Song's tone is very similar to the usual gossip: "In addition, you have already solved the alienated body that day, but the leader of the seventh team has done a good thing this time. I am really curious about how it was done. Let the scene There are a lot of broken tentacle tissues left. Some of the collected samples have been sent to the research institute, just in time for further observation, you have time to go and have a look with me."

"Ah."

Ying Xize answered absent-mindedly, all his attention was placed outside the window.

Vehicles coming and going, people laughing and playing.

The sudden incident in the Delong business district a few days ago has gradually faded from the public's memory after being properly handled. The shopping mall has reopened and business is booming.All the traces of being contaminated by the alienated body were cleaned up without leaving any traces, just as if everything that happened that day was really just a temporary action by the police to catch the wanted criminal.

But how long can such whitewashing last?

Ying Xize narrowed his eyes slightly under the harsh sunlight.

In fact, his highly respected teacher still made a mistake.

Zero has never been a "naive" existence.
