Chapter 63: Baby Kingworm
Chapter 63: Baby Kingworm
In the surveillance footage, Wang Jixuan and Uncle Tai were standing in front of the gate, one on the left and one on the right;
Lingtong is still relatively relieved.
Although she seldom sees Uncle Tai out and about, he has always been mature and steady. With this senior mechanic around, the situation shouldn't become too awkward.
In front of the supply station gate.
Uncle Tai nonchalantly put his hands on his waist, with an expression that said, "I'm a fifth-level citizen and a senior military talent, so why should I be afraid of you bunch of losers?"
Wang Jixuan took out a high-explosive grenade and pointed his gun at the many figures in front of him. He looked as if he was ready to open fire if they disagreed with him.
No need to think, he had already opened fire.
There was a crater in the ground.
The gunshots attracted attention from all sides. There were at least hundreds of men and women in military uniforms, watching this place from far and near, staring at the psychics who broke into the military camp with unfriendly faces.
Reactions from the psychics varied; most looked ferocious, but a few appeared timid.
The leading psychic took out a communication device with a fixed screen, and a bust of Qin Qin appeared in the palm-sized mirror.
The researcher was wearing a professional suit and sitting in the back of the office, rubbing her brow tiredly.
"Junior mechanic Wang Zheng? I thought it would be Major Ling Tong who came out."
Qin Qin looked helpless:
"I want to ask, you have decided to fight alone and not have any interaction with our Thirteen, is that right?
"Then what's the point of us being stationed at Fort 76?"
Wang Jixuan was just about to speak and say "That's right" in a stern tone when he heard a sneer from the side.
"laugh!"
Uncle Tai raised his voice and started to curse:
"Since when did our battle girl team need to consult with your Thirteenth Institute to do anything? Did we give you face?"
A psychic said angrily: "Watch your words, old man!"
"What? Are you going to take action? Major Lingtong is in there!"
Uncle Tai glared and shouted:
"I've seen general-level blade beasts before! Why would I be afraid of you wimps who use blade beasts for energy production?
"If you have the guts, go to the front lines and fight the Saber Beasts. Why are you pretending to be so arrogant here?
"You're still posing as if you're asking for punishment. What's going on? Are the psychics from the Thirteenth Institute bullying the future pilots of the terrifying mecha? Everyone, come and judge for yourself! Bring your rocket launchers and judge for yourself!"
Wang Jixuan turned his head and looked at Uncle Tai.
No, why didn't I see that Uncle Tai had this side...
The point is, there are actually quite a few soldiers around who have picked up their weapons and are staring at this group of psychics eagerly.
Qin Qin in the video took a deep breath, and her collar was shaken by the area below, looking very ferocious.
She tried to suppress her emotions.
"Very good, I will take this response as Major Ling Tong's intention. Then no matter what happens in the expansion area C, it has nothing to do with our Thirteenth Institute!
“I’ll ask one more question, and then I’ll let them go.
"There is a mismatch between the number of blade beasts killed this time and the number of crystal cores we obtained. You are illegally collecting crystal cores!"
Uncle Tai frowned and said, "I don't know what crystal core is or isn't! This thing has nothing to do with our battle girl team! It must have been embezzled by your own people! Who else needs that kind of thing except for trash like you!"
Wang Jixuan said slowly, "Previously, a telekinetic psychic named Lu Dongjie was suspected of being controlled by a blade beast. Major Ling Tong is ready to submit a report to the commander-in-chief about how psychics are very likely to be infected by blade beasts."
Qin Qin's eyes suddenly became sharp and she stared at Wang Jixuan.
Wang Jixuan smiled secretly in his heart.
Just from her eye reaction, the Taoist priest could already confirm a lot of things.
Qin Qin didn't say much, just said: "We already know your attitude, and you can do whatever you want next."
call out!
The screen turns off.
This group of psychics glared at Uncle Tai and Wang Jixuan fiercely.
Uncle Tai pinched his waist and pushed his hips: "What are you looking at! If you have the guts, do it! If you don't, get out!"
The psychics turned around, got in the car, and left quickly.
There were bursts of boos and whistles all around.
"Damn, what a bunch of idiots!"
Uncle Tai spat, then turned to look at Wang Jixuan with a kind smile.
"Xiao Wang, let's go back."
"Good," Wang Jixuan praised quietly, "Uncle Tai's scolding is quite impressive."
"Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
Uncle Tai laughed very wildly and taught Xiao Wang earnestly:
“Generally speaking, people with real abilities tend to have bad tempers. If you have a really good temper, they will think you are easy to bully and that you have no ability. As a mechanic, you should be a little arrogant.
"Psychics are not from the same system as us.
"If it was a frontline officer, you'd see how I'd pretend to be a grandson!"
Wang Jixuan burst out laughing.
The two returned to the house to disarm, activate the alarm and trigger the protective shield.
Lingtong has installed the right robotic arm and is waiting for Wang Jixuan at the door of the room.
"Wang Zheng, let's talk about something serious."
"coming!"
Wang Jixuan walked quickly and entered her room with Lingtong.
Next to the operating table, Sister Wan glared at Uncle Tai with a dark face.
Uncle Tai smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands together, muttering quietly: "Wife, those psychics are going too far. I can tell from one glance that Xiao Wang doesn't know how to curse. If I didn't curse, Xiao Wang might just beat him up. I'm just trying to moderately reduce the intensity of the conflict."
"Work!"
"no problem."
Uncle Tai’s family status is very strong.
……
Wang Jixuan sat beside Lingtong's bed.
Lingtong's fingers moved nimbly in front of a projection screen, calling up several photos marked "Confidential".
"Is this the kind of vertical pupil you see?"
"Ah."
"Where did you see it?"
Wang Jixuan hadn't figured out how to explain the matter of the residual soul hidden in the crystal core, which involved his ability to absorb the spiritual power of the crystal core to improve his own strength.
He simply recounted in detail his encounter with the mutated blade beast, and emphasized the process of the blade beast's communication with him, as well as the vertical pupil that appeared after the blade beast's death.
Lingtong sat on the chair with his legs crossed, thinking quietly for a long time.
Taoist Wang asked, "Are you in trouble?"
"It's not trouble, it's an enemy."
Ling Tong picked up the mechanical arm and said softly:
"The owner of this kind of vertical pupil is a special kind of blade beast, usually called a young king worm. It is extremely difficult to deal with and good at hiding. Its fully evolved form is a king-level blade beast.
"Sub-king-level Blade Beasts evolved from General-level Blade Beasts. The pinnacle of their evolution is Sub-king-level. They have destructive power comparable to King-level Blade Beasts, but lack the dominance of King-level Blade Beasts over the Blade Beast tribe.
"Our human fortress model is modeled after the Blade Beasts' tribe model. The Blade Beasts build nests on the earth. Each nest can only have one king-level Blade Beast, commanding millions of Blade Beasts of all kinds.
"If we find a baby kingworm, then we can basically conclude... that there is a Saber Beast nest under construction nearby. This is also the method Saber Beasts often use to break through our outer defense line." "Your discovery this time is very likely to save hundreds of thousands of human lives."
Wang Jixuan inexplicably felt a very slight sense of pleasure.
"Won't you report it to the theater commander?"
"It has been reported, before we chat."
Ling Tong warned:
"Next, I will secretly deploy my core equipment.
“Also, the blade beasts are very smart, so don’t underestimate them.
"The social structure within the blade beasts is extremely complex. Part of their social relationship is similar to that of bees, but the female beasts responsible for breeding are not queens, but more like tools."
Taoist Wang nodded: "This baby kingworm may be chasing you."
"That's how it should be."
Lingtong showed a charming smile.
"Why do you feel like you're quite happy being targeted?"
“We have a list internally.”
Ling Tong raised her smooth chin:
“I have always been number one in the contemporary half-human mecha kill list, but being number one does come with a lot of pressure.
"The merit points gained by killing a baby kingworm are equivalent to killing a sub-king-level blade beast."
Wang Jixuan: ...
Do you want to praise her by saying "You are awesome"?
Her expression seemed as if she was waiting for me to praise her.
"Well," Taoist Wang changed the subject, "There is one more thing. I will try it later."
"What attempt?"
"Forging a sword," Wang Jixuan said solemnly, "I have been enjoying the protection of the military, so naturally I have to give the military some feedback. Also...don't let ordinary soldiers wear pendants like Zheng Shiduo's."
Ling Tong was a little puzzled: "Why?"
"There is something wrong with the crystal core itself."
"Can you explain the specific reason?"
"Intuition. I can't explain it specifically," Wang Jixuan answered seriously, "Maybe I need to absorb more energy from the universe."
"Well...try not to fool me with such lies in the future."
"You are still observing me, and you have to report a lot of things."
Ling Tong asked: "You don't trust the commander and the others?"
Wang Jixuan just looked at her with a smile. She knew better than him how many twists and turns there were.
The two looked at each other and the room was very quiet.
"it is good."
Ling Tong lowered his head and looked away, his voice seemed to become much gentler:
"I understand you, but this kind of concealment should have a time limit...Would you like something to eat? I'll cook tonight."
"Can you still cook?"
"Anyone can find the can, open it, heat it up, and pour it into a dish."
Suddenly, Uncle Tai's voice called out from outside the door:
"Sir! The military suddenly sent a bunch of supplies! There are a lot of rocks and some frozen Saber Beast parts!"
Lingtong winked gently at Wang Jixuan.
Wang Jixuan pointed at himself.
Ling Tong connected the speaker on the workshop operating table and said, "I asked them to send it over. Just put it in a corner."
Wang Jixuan smiled happily.
He took the initiative to ask: "Are you free after dinner? I would like to borrow three hours of your time."
Ling Tong was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked to the side, as if there was something on the wall, and asked in a low voice: "Are we the only two?"
“Well, this matter is very important to me.”
"Okay," Lingtong responded reluctantly.
So, more than an hour later.
Lingtong was holding the robotic arm and sitting on a chair in front of Wang Jixuan's door with her legs crossed. She had changed into a light blue dress, put on white stockings, and put on light makeup. Her expression was so serious that it was a little scary.
As a result, the air pressure around her dropped a little.
Uncle Tai and his family were on the second floor, watching with the surveillance camera in hand, not daring to breathe.
Taoist Wang rubbed his hands excitedly in the house, took out the array plate, pressed the switch, and with a slight buzzing sound, the array pattern activated itself, and wisps of pure spiritual energy flew out.
To refine the weapon, one must naturally condense the spiritual consciousness!
It’s so great to have Lingtong protecting him while he breaks through!
A state of concentration.
I'm back!
……
The third floor of Fort 76, the Psionic House Laboratory.
Snapped!
Qin Qin accidentally crushed a test tube.
Several psychics lying on the operating table nearby and receiving the new medicine subconsciously held their breath and dared not even breathe.
Lu Dongjie's body was in a body bag not far away, with his head and body sewn shut.
Qin Qin turned her head to look at the female psychic next to her and asked softly, "You mean, my man died, and the military asked me to write a report to explain why he was there?"
The female psychic beside her whispered:
"Yes, researcher, if we don't fight back against them, the military will probably intensify its attacks.
“They just want us dead, that’s an indisputable fact.
"The death of senior researcher Kong Nu was extremely tragic. The dark side of the military that he reported was shamelessly suppressed."
"Fight back? How?"
Qin Qin said quickly:
"The combat power of the battle girl is already amazing, and she also has a variety of equipment. The military has unlimited resources allocated to the battle girl.
Are you asking me to illegally mobilize B-class psychics? This is the D5 war zone, and that devil commander-in-chief can really swallow me in one bite."
The female psychic said softly, "I have no intention of interfering with your thoughts."
Qin Qin snorted and turned her head to look in the corner. There was a transparent cabin with a boy of about fifteen or sixteen inside, his body covered with sensors.
She hesitated and thought, and made a decision in a few seconds.
Qin Qin gently licked her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Let's just forget about this matter. Lu Dongjie insisted on going there. You all know the process... You all should leave now. I need to continue to perfect my thesis."
The psychics stood up one by one, and they and the researchers beside them walked away quickly with their heads down, closing the door of the laboratory behind them.
Qin Qin turned off the lights in most areas, unbuttoned her white coat, and walked towards the transparent cabin in the corner with a cat-like step.
When she reached the corner, she was only wearing lace underwear. She performed simple operations next to the transparent cabin, and the boy inside slowly opened his eyes.
The young man's weak voice sounded: "Sister Qin...you came to see me again..."
"How's it going? We've come to a new place and I need you to do me a favor."
"I'm still feeling very sleepy lately... Is there anything I can do for you? Just tell me, Sister Qin."
"Sensing whether there are any traces of blade beasts nearby, it would be best if you could contact a mimic blade beast and give it simple commands."
"Yeah, okay, I'll try."
"First determine your location, and then I'll start the directional amplifier for you."
