Lilan District, located in the east of Xiacheng, is one of the city's sub-centers. Between its main business districts sits the Shang Ding Triplex high-rise office complex. There are many high-rise buildings around the office building, and the floor area ratio is impressive, so that the low-rise areas below the 18th floor of the building are more in line with the surrounding environment every time they are lit up at night.
This part of the area belongs to the Summer City branch of the Wilderness Explorers Association. Although there is a serious lack of lighting and the air is hardly fresh, many members of the association still like to run here when they have nothing to do. After all, in the large laboratory that occupies the entire floor on the thirteenth floor of Shangding Building, there is a senior otaku who is also a senior ability user and extraordinary species, Ouyang Chen, the president of the Xiacheng branch.
President Ouyang himself is not very sociable. He always hides in the laboratory and may not be seen for ten days and a half. But if people have the courage and ask questions of sufficient value, they will often gain something.
Of course, people must clearly distinguish: what is free time and what is busy stage.
For example, tonight, no fool dares to trouble President Ouyang. Since an hour ago, the outside world has been continuously sending some materials into the biology laboratory in the west tower. Dozens of researchers and experimental assistants are taking the time to analyze and characterize the relevant materials, creating a busy scene.
"Clone No. 1 has been delivered and will be sent to the operating table immediately."
"Why are you here just now? The suspected genetic sample remains have been delivered for almost half an hour! By the way, report the extraction progress, the results will be seen on the console soon."
"Currently, some gene fragments have been extracted, but the complete DNA has not been found. The specific report has just been sent."
"Has the president signed for it?"
"The president is with the maintenance team in the main building."
"……All right."
Compared with the biology group, the maintenance group located in the main building area is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the global Lingbo network. This is the real backbone of the laboratory and is responsible for the main business of the laboratory. In a team of more than fifty people, perhaps most of them are not experts, but without them, the Lingbo Network, which covers the entire Xia City and even many key areas around the world, may be paralyzed at any time.
The person in charge of the biology team was also helpless: "Don't forget to urge the president to sign. In addition, another clone has arrived. In order to avoid enemy infiltration, let the maintenance team send someone to re-confirm the isolation situation of Lingbo Network. Don't make any mistakes. In the end, the president will have to clean up the mess."
"Oh... what should I do with this?" The experimental assistant showed the bag that had just been extracted and was in good condition, but had no value in the laboratory.
"Seal it first, and then do an in-depth inspection after the president comes back."
The assistant made an "ok" gesture, sealed the bag into a sterile bag, marked it, and put it aside. At this point, the brief communication period caused by the transfer of clones ended, and everyone in the biological group began endless testing and experiments.
A group of people were so busy that no one noticed that in the sealed sterile bag, in the deep corner of the bag where the moisture stains had not been removed, a "mildew spot" grew at an unusual speed and expanded to a certain size. , suddenly ignited a cold flame and evaporated.
During this process, people came and went nearby, mostly members of the biological team. But there was also an engineer from the maintenance team who hurried past to test several key nodes inside and outside the laboratory.
The target is locked, the corner of the sterile bag penetrates the small hole silently, and the subtle ingredients flow out, covering the engineer passing by like a cloud of invisible smoke.
The alarm sounded.
Along with the siren, the maintenance team laboratory located on the thirteenth floor of the main building has entered a state of emergency. Relevant information is delivered like a stream:
"x-band, x-band access, access to backup resources as planned."
"Currently, at the request of Vice Chairman He, 25% of the backup resources are injected near the Municipal Square. I want to ask if they will be transferred?"
The person in charge did not hesitate: "The x-band authority is the best and will be transferred as planned. At the same time, environmental monitoring of the target area will be expanded..."
"Lao Gao, wait a moment."
"ah?"
Ouyang Chen has been sitting quietly in the corner since the afternoon. Apart from limited contact with the outside world, he has issued almost no instructions to the laboratory. This sudden opening attracted most people's attention.
"The town square is also very important. After all, millions of lives are lost. So, the spare resources will still be executed according to the allocated share and remain in reserve."
"Dividing troops is a taboo."
The person in charge on duty today is Gao Meng, Xia Cheng's spiritual channeler and B-level strongman. He has a deep friendship with Ouyang Chen, and they talk very casually: "What about our boss Luo?"
Ouyang Chen did not respond immediately, but looked up at the central area of the laboratory. On the center console over there, there is the latest surveillance projection of the battlefield inside the Kewang Communications Building, which is all-round, multi-angle, and detailed.
However, the engineers present rarely raised their heads to look at this. They all preferred to use the relevant functions of the six ears to "on-the-spot investigation" of the relevant situation. Under normal working conditions, in order to ensure the privacy of users when using Lingbo.com, related functions are strictly restricted. Only in this wartime emergency state can these engineering geeks who stay in the laboratory all year round have the opportunity to "experience it personally" "The thrill of war and danger.
At this time, the battle in the Kewang Communications Building was in full swing. Whether it was He Yueyin's powerful confrontation with the Bosozoku that broke through the wall, or the gray rat tide coming from all directions, including the desperate running of Ronan and his team, a group of engineering housemen were shocked. While the blood boils, it also makes the hair stand on end.
What Ouyang Chen saw when he raised his head was exactly what happened after Ronan sent out the first few waves of dripping swords, as if invisible blades were passing through them. In terms of the excitement of the scenes, these are far less than the battle between He Yueyin and the Bosozoku in the freight channel. However, Ouyang Chen paid great attention to these rats that fell one after another, and of course the reasons that led to their deaths.
"The Dripping Sword, right?"
"Drip Sword? It's a machine gun! But, just because it's faster, it's okay when facing a swarm of rats... Actually, it's a swarm of rats, so his efficiency is still a bit low."
"What? Doesn't it feel good to be run over by a child?"
"Am I such a narrow-minded person?"
Gao Meng touched the stubble on his chin, and then abruptly skipped the topic: "You are right in saying that you don't need to use spare resources. For a clone like this, regular mental storms will have no effect, and will directly interfere with matter. In terms of level, it is more efficient for you to take action directly for the time being. But if you do, the consumption will not be small. "
"Fortunately, there is always room for recovery here. And it is better to start early than to do it late..."
Listening to the conversation between Ouyang Chen and Gao Meng, even the researchers and engineers who had worked together for many years looked sideways. A few guys who had no work at hand simply drove the movable seats under them and leaned over here.
It's always fun and exciting for extraordinary species to take action, how could they miss it?
At this time, the maintenance engineer who had just returned from the biological laboratory happened to come in. When he heard the news, he immediately moved forward and unconsciously took a few more steps to cut into the inner circle.
Everyone thought that Ouyang Chen was going to intervene, but the next change in the situation made the maintenance team stunned: "What is this, and such an operation?"
Compared with the machine gun style of the Dripping Sword, Ronan's improved methods in the second half have exceeded the perception limit of most people. There was no reflection from the water droplets and no flight path. Dozens or hundreds of mice fell down and died suddenly inexplicably. The method of death was exactly the same as killing them with a dripping sword, but what was the process?
Even if the staff present used the Lingbo Network function to observe "up close", they would still be confused for a while.
As a B-level strong man on the mental side, Gao Meng's eyesight is higher than that of most people here. But just because his eyes were so good, when he saw such treacherous methods, he, who was nicknamed "Heavenly Master", couldn't help but "hiss":
"Wu Meiniang is probably giving him a small start!"
It is still the method of the Dripping Sword, and the idea is not surprising. However, the skillful and agile carving of the structural skeleton, as well as the effect of "the intention is removed and the shape is retained", can only prove that Ronan is already close to the basic skill of the Dripping Sword. Having reached the pinnacle level, one can completely overlook the vast majority of ability practitioners in Xia City and even the world who practice this kind of method.
Gao Meng grinned for a moment: "When did he start practicing?"
"That's not clear."
"You can check it at the headquarters, right? If you download the teaching materials, don't you have to accept the mission?"
Gao Meng subconsciously wanted to log in to the headquarters website, but after Ouyang Chen's eyes glanced behind his lenses, he finally remembered what time it was and could only smile.
A group of researchers and engineers were a little disappointed when they couldn't see Ouyang Chen take action, but it was helpful to see the genius method of the legendary "Boss Luo".
In particular, quite a few of them have taken advantage of the Dripping Sword, and now their experience is even more complicated. Some people once felt that their own skills with the dripping sword were already somewhat accomplished, and now they are inevitably a little embarrassed; others felt that this technique was too weak and had too many restrictions on its shots, so they did not want to put in more effort, but after seeing Ronan's "demonstration" , and the idea of re-researching came into being.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the maintenance team, and the core topic was: Is Boss Luo too genius, or is it because he has mastered the dripping sword to the extreme that he has this ability?
The reason why the maintenance team staff were distracted from the discussion was because the situation at the Kewang Communications Building had entered a controllable state again.
As Ronan slaughtered the rat tide, the distance between their group and the chasing Bosozoku had widened to forty meters. There is no doubt that the impact of the rat tide must have distracted some of the Bosozoku clan's minds, and with He Yueyin's strong strength, these problems have appeared at an alarming rate.
At this time, the exit of the passage leading to the apron was in sight, only fifty meters away at most.
But at this time, Ouyang Chen and Gao Meng in the laboratory, Gao De, Si Guosheng and others in the freight channel all frowned.
"Don't quit."
