Chapter 4 New Members
The convoy bumped for more than seven hours on the mountain road in the southwestern border of China.
At around 1 a.m., I finally arrived at the suburbs of a prefecture-level city.
Instead of stopping, everyone turned on the expressway and ran all the way.
Three hours later, the majestic and grand building complex in the provincial capital finally appeared outside the car window.
At this time, it was already dawn.
Anne personally served as the driver of Lin Shuo's car. It is logical that a girl drove for twelve hours in a row, which was a bit of a waste of time.
But while driving, the woman chatted with the starling bird all the way, and was full of energy.
On the contrary, Lin Shuo felt that this woman and this bird were really quarrel.
When I arrived at a five-star hotel called Four Seasons Hotel in Chunning, the provincial capital, the convoy arrived at the destination of this trip and parked for dinner.
Chunning is known to be like spring all year round, and urban greening is done very well.
Lin Shuo asked the starling bird to go to the nearby forest to find food, and then placed an ebony box in the guest room. He followed Anne and Wei Xingshan and his group into the cafeteria of the Four Seasons Hotel.
The luxurious restaurant with a height of more than 200 square meters is still early and there are not many people, so it looks very empty.
More than a dozen people in this group, especially the group of big-headed soldiers behind Wei Xingshan, lined up into the restaurant. The dozen people walked, looked for seats, and sat down at the same rhythm, which made the few diners in the restaurant pay attention.
Lin Shuo picked up a remote table, Anne greeted Liu Qing, and the two women sat with Lin Shuo together.
Liu Qing asked Wei Xingshan to sit over, and the man glanced at Lin Shuo and shook his head and refused.
After selecting the meal, Lin Shuo and the other two were eating and drinking. Two more people came in at the entrance of the buffet restaurant.
Both of them were wearing glasses. One of them looked over 60 years old, wearing silk Tang suit, full of silver hair, but his legs were very neat and his walking was windy.
Following the old man was a man in his thirties, wearing a white shirt and looking gentle.
The two of them took the plates to get the food, searched for it, and walked towards Lin Shuo's table.
When Anne and Liu Qing saw them coming, they stood up one after another.
"Let me introduce it," Anne said. "This is the chief scientist of the International Biological Research Association and Professor He Zihong. The person next to him is his student and a young biologist in my country, Dr. Yang Tuo.
Professor He, Dr. Yang, this is the leader we invited this time, Mr. Lin Shuolin."
"I have long admired Mr. Lin's name!" Old Man He Zihong stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "I didn't expect that Mr. Lin is so young, and it turns out that he is a young man!"
Lin Shuo was stunned for a moment and could only stand up and shake hands with He Zihong.
After some greetings, the guest and the host took a seat, and Lin Shuo glanced at Anne with inquiring eyes.
Anne immediately explained with a smile: "I, a half-baked graduate student, have a much worse level than these two experts. So this time during this trip to Heilongjiang, these two people were the heads of the scientific research project. They had already been waiting for Mr. Lin to meet together at the Four Seasons Hotel."
"Professor He and Dr. Lin, are you going to Heilongjiang with us?" Lin Shuo frowned and looked at the two scholars.
"Of course." Professor He Zihong said loudly with a red face, then looked at the surrounding environment, and lowered his voice, "Based on the sampling of that scale, we have just completed the preliminary research of the creature in Heilongjiang. Oh! This is simply a biology miracle! Xiao Yang, come and talk to them."
Yang Tuo, who was gentle and gentle, held his glasses, and whispered with an excited look on his face: "Based on the size of the scales, we speculate that the size of this individual is rare in the world.
Its weight should be similar to the largest creature on earth, with about one hundred tons.
* is living in the ocean, protected by sea water buoyancy, so it can support its huge weight.
But obviously, our target this time is a terrestrial creature.
This is almost impossible in biology. With such a large body weight, what kind of physiological structure and physical strength are needed to support it under the gravity of land?
This is our first doubt.
Second: The hardness of the scale reached the level of 9.5 of Mo style, almost close to diamonds. This is the hardness of ore grade and has never appeared in biological bodies.
Of course, this may explain to some extent why it can weigh so much.
Third: According to gene decoding, the genetic map of this individual is 97% similar to the ancient creature Titan Python, but even the Titan Python is far from reaching such a large size.
And we also discovered that this individual has a lifespan of more than one thousand years."
After saying this, Yang Tuo let out a long sigh and said to Lin Shuo: "Mr. Lin, in the face of such a biology miracle, Teacher He and I have been working hard in this professional field for a lifetime. How could they miss the opportunity to witness the living body with their own eyes?"
"We know that there is a great danger this time." He Zihong said at this time, "and it is precisely because of the danger that we know that even if Mr. Lin takes action, it is still extremely difficult to capture the living body.
So we must participate in this action personally so that we can ensure that we see the living body.
As long as I can take a look at it, even if I die in Heilongjiang, my life will be worth it.
I brought Xiao Yang with me this time because he was young and had a deep understanding of my professionalism. In case of danger, at worst, my old bones will die in front of me, so you can save Xiao Yang."
He Zihong's words were not loud, but he spoke resolutely and had no room for reversal.
Yang Tuo had no objection to He Zihong's words, but just looked at Lin Shuo with a bright look, as if he wanted to get his approval.
"I don't agree!"
Lin Shuo had not made any statement yet, but Wei Xingshan, who was next to the table, stood up and sat on Lin Shuo's dining table.
"He does not belong to the International Biological Research Association, I have no control." Wei Xingshan pointed to Lin Shuo and looked at Professor He Zihong and said, "But as the captain of the Asian Action Team of the Research Association, I have the right to decide whether the people affiliated with the Research Association can participate in the action. You two scholars should stay in the scientific research base and run to the deep mountains and forests to make trouble?"
"Captain Wei." He Zihong lowered his face, "You seem to have made something wrong. I am the chief expert of the Research Association and one of the members of the Veterans. I can decide who will be the captain of the Asian Action Team."
"Then you take me away first." Wei Xingshan slapped the table, "Anyway, I'm fed up with it. You guys opened and closed their mouths and said they would participate.
But if we want to protect you from coming back, how many lives will we fill?
Yes, you spent 10 million to buy the lives of our fifteen brothers.
But is human life so worthless?"
Wei Xingshan said this louder and louder. Soon, other diners left the seat and left the restaurant as if they were running away.
The waitress walked to the near the dining seat and wanted to remind her something, but was frightened by Wei Xingshan's fierce expression and dared not come forward.
He Zihong's face was flushed and his hands were trembling with anger. Seeing this, Anne quickly stroked the old man's back and winked at Wei Xingshan.
Yang Tuo held his glasses at this time and said firmly: "Captain Wei, life is equal and cannot be measured with money. In this action, you have your responsibilities and we also have our mission. If you think we are a drag, then it's better, at best, we can go by ourselves and you don't need to protect you."
"Actually, everyone's goals are still the same." Anne said, "There are the same awareness. Then why can't we cooperate sincerely? With Mr. Lin here, I believe that everything can be safe. Right, Mr. Lin."
While speaking, Anne's beautiful eyes circulated and looked at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo didn't chew on it. At this time, he looked at the tense people on the seat, and he said calmly:
"I just collect money and do things, and I don't care about other things. I've finished eating and went up to smoke a cigarette."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left.
Chapter completed!
