Damian's eyes flashed with hatred, but after suppressing it, he shook his head and whispered like a madman, "I can't rest yet. I must seize every minute to study the nature of imaginary numbers, even if I die in the lab. You know, I finally made a breakthrough last month and published a paper to check for plagiarism, but Dr. Mei has already surpassed me."
This guy's mentality exploded.
Ryan didn't know what to say. He frowned slightly, as if he smelled the scent of destruction, but it was impossible for this person to come into contact with him, so he didn't think much about it.
"You really should get more rest."
"Let's talk about it later. There will be a particle collision experiment in two days. I have to prepare for it." The man turned around in a daze, walked a few steps, turned around again, took the coffee from the bar, and turned around again when he reached the door.
"Dr. Ryan, a mortal like me can only catch up with you at all costs. Excuse me."
Ryan held the book in his hand and watched the figure walking away. He neither laughed nor showed contempt. Even though this was a passerby without even a name, he admired his persistence and even couldn't help but think of Mebius.
The two are very similar, yet not quite alike.
"Senior Brother, is that someone you know?" At this time Hua came over with milk tea.
"I guess so. He was my former colleague at Neon." Ryan took it, took a sip, and immediately praised, "Well, it's very well made, and the sweetness is just right."
"I studied hard for half a year."
"So seriousness is your greatest strength."
Hua was even happier after being flattered twice. He smiled unconsciously and said, "Your colleague doesn't look very well."
"This is the consequence of being too persistent. Once things don't go well, you will get stuck in a dead end and then become obsessed." Ryan held the milk tea, and for some reason, he always cared about the taste of collapse. "When you are obsessed, you will break the bottom line and use any means to achieve your goal."
"The legendary darkening?"
"It's kind of interesting, but it's more troublesome than being evil. So, why do you care about him?"
Hua held the plate and answered without hesitation: "Because I also want to understand every aspect of my brother, just like you understand me today."
This reminded Ryan that his biggest gain was knowing what Hua usually does and what he likes to eat.
It seems meaningless, but it is very meaningful when you think about it.
"Not bad, I finally learned to use my brain."
"You make it sound like I'm stupid."
"Not stupid, but quite dull." Ryan ignored the girl's angry expression and smiled gently, "But thanks to you, I had a great time today. After we finish this cup of milk tea, let's go back."
"Okay." Hua didn't argue. After hesitating for a moment, he bravely said, "I know you are very busy, so I'm glad you can take a day to accompany me today."
After the battle in the fishing village, she was no longer ignorant. She certainly understood how important what Ryan had to do was and how much he was responsible for. Today she was a little willful.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Life, fighting, and research are all equally important. They just go in different directions. Besides—"
Ryan turned his head to look outside the window. He didn't know when the sunny sky turned gloomy. The lead-like clouds blocked the sunlight, as if day had suddenly turned into night. The wind that followed rustled in the sycamore trees.
“If you don’t look at them now and remember them, you will regret it when they disappear.”
Looking at the suddenly cloudy sky, for some reason, a sentence flashed through his mind:
The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
Chapter 50: Just Waiting for Thunder Three-in-One!
The raindrops hit the windows, and before we knew it, the yard was filled with water.
Ryan stood in front of the window, looking at the gloomy sky, slightly absent-minded.
It was sunny yesterday and it only drizzled a little when Hehua returned home.
Then in the middle of the night, a typhoon appeared inexplicably. The strong wind made the glass rattle and even blew off the roof of the small processing plant opposite.
"Our city is experiencing strong typhoon weather, with wind force at the center reaching level 15. All flights have been suspended. Experts say this is a new type of typhoon caused by the El Nino phenomenon, which is characterized by sudden appearance and fleeting nature. Citizens, please... "
The news was playing on TV, and Ryan didn't believe a word the experts said. What El Niño phenomenon? There was no sign of it a few days ago, but a typhoon came as soon as Moshazhi retreated.
It should have nothing to do with it. It is a spiritual Honkai beast. It would be great if it could create a typhoon out of nowhere, but the Third Herrscher is not the Herrscher of Wind.
Ryan was a little confused. He did change a lot of things, but his butterfly wings wouldn't change the order of the Herrscher.
"And what is the Fire Moth doing? Why haven't they sounded the alarm yet? Their intelligence departments should know better than me."
Frowning, he called Hen yesterday and asked him about it. The latter said that the Nan Shenzhou branch was maneuvering at sea. The intelligence department suspected that the typhoon was related to the Mosha branch, and took out a real-time collapse detection map.
There was no source of destruction within 300 kilometers, not even any dead soldiers. It seemed peaceful, and Ryan couldn't do much.
The urban area of Canghai has a population of more than 10 million. It is impossible to evacuate them based on a guess, and there is no way to defend them. It is impossible to fill the entire city with anti-aircraft missiles.
No one can be the savior or the god who protects everyone, at least not now.
Ryan felt an invisible pressure as the storm was brewing. Just at this moment, his cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, and immediately smiled.
"Mebius, how's the stuff going?"
"We have already done."
"What? So fast?" Ryan didn't react for a moment. It's only been a week.
"Don't you trust me to do things?"
The tone was still cool and lazy, even a little cheerful.
Thousands of miles away, Mebius sat in a dim office, half lying on a chair, with a pair of slender black silk legs resting on the table, holding the phone in one hand and supporting his head with the other, as if he was a snake that had just awakened from hibernation.
"The Materials Research Institute has them all, but the processing is a little more complicated. But this is not difficult for me. I just made one, and it took a lot of effort."
"Dr. Mebius is indeed a genius that only appears once in a thousand years!" Ryan was overjoyed and immediately flattered him.
After working for seven consecutive days, Mobius, who was feeling a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic and smiled subconsciously: "You are very talkative today. I have delivered the things. They should reach Canghai in two hours."
"I'll get it right away, bye!"
"Wait." The smile on his lips disappeared instantly, and Mebius put on a stern face again.
I take back what I said, this man is still so annoying.
"Doctor, do you have anything else to say?"
"When you call me by my name, I always feel like you are being sarcastic." Mabius paused, but didn't know what to say.
She wanted to chat a little, such as how Ryan was doing in Canghai, who exactly was that Hua, and whether he had anything to say to her except asking for things?
But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know why she couldn't say them, so she could only whisper: "Let me remind you that Canghai's situation is not good. It's not too late to regret now."
There was something else in her words, and it was not just about the collapse.
"I can see that, but once I make a decision, I only like to move forward and don't like to retreat. Thank you for your concern."
"Who cares about you? I've already paid the price for this deal. If you die, won't I lose money in vain?" Mebius' voice suddenly became sharper. Feeling that he had lost his composure, he returned to his calmness.
"I hate it most when what I put in is not proportional to what I get out, so you have to understand that your life is not only yours, but mine as well."
Why does this sound a little weird?
Ryan scratched his face subconsciously. He didn't want to chat with Mebius, nor did he want to find out the news about Calis from her. It was a bit of a quagmire, so it would be better not to drag her into it.
"Yes, yes, I get it. You have a share of this life, but don't worry, I'm neither reckless nor cowardly. When I come back, we can continue the transaction."
Toot toot…..
The busy tone rang in her ears, leaving Mebius stunned. After a long time, she threw the phone on the desk in annoyance. She looked at the ceiling with her expression changing continuously.
But Mebius was never an indecisive person, and after about five seconds, she suddenly opened her mouth.
"Klein, come here!"
The sound of typing on the keyboard outside the office suddenly stopped, followed by hurried footsteps. When the door was pushed open, a girl with short green hair walked in.
She was thin, with messy hair and dark circles under her eyes. She bowed respectfully and said, "Doctor, what can I do for you?"
Mebius glanced at her. Klein was a new assistant who had come after Blanca left. He tried her out for a few days and thought she was okay.
He is willing to work hard, doesn't nag or ask too many questions, has strong execution ability, and seems like he can be exploited for a long time.
"Have you found out any news about Alicia?"
"Well, Miss Alicia was sent to Ba City in the southwest of Shenzhou. I heard that she will be going to the central part soon."
When Mobius heard this, his brows immediately frowned. Now all signs pointed out that Canghai was the most likely candidate, so why send the strongest of the Fire Moths to a place that was neither far nor near?
"Haha, those people are plotting again. They are worse than children."
She sneered sarcastically and paced back and forth with a heavy heart. Since that was the arrangement, forget about any phone calls. As a senior tech geek, she had nothing to do with those factions.
This hesitation did not last long, and Mebius quickly made up his mind.
"Please tell the higher-ups that I'm going on a business trip."
"Ah? But you just came back."
"Who said we can't go on consecutive business trips? Remember to bring the prototype biorepair chamber with you."
“Oh, okay.” Klein didn’t dare to argue and asked honestly, “Then where are you going, Doctor?”
"Shenzhou, the vast ocean."
......
On the other side, Ryan was also pacing in the living room, but his face was slightly excited and his brain was working rapidly.
Mobius is so efficient, he got it done so quickly.
This was indeed beyond his expectations. The situation changed too quickly, and Ryan was a little worried that he would not be able to catch up. However, Mobius had already prepared it and delivered it to him very quickly.
"I just like working with straightforward people, and everyone feels relaxed."
Ryan nodded with satisfaction. He hated indecisive and hesitant people the most. Mebius was just what he wanted. He was prompt and honest, and could even get things done ahead of time.
As for what Mebius wanted to remind him, those troubles could not escape his eyes.
"This completes half of the preparations. The next step is to send Hua away so I can focus on preparing for the battle against the Third Herrscher."
Ryan clapped his hands lightly, ran upstairs decisively and pushed open the half-closed door.
"Hua, have you changed your flight ticket?"
He paused halfway through his speech, but there was no welfare scene to be seen. The girl was just lying on her clothes, her two white legs swinging back and forth, playing with her mobile phone with gusto.
Seeing Ryan coming in, Hua quickly hid under the pillow, but unfortunately the other party's eyesight was too good, and the drooping neckline was not attractive at all, so he captured the scene instantly.
It looks familiar. Isn't it the Ark of Doom that Kevin often plays?
