The Lilan District was located in the eastern part of Xia City. It was one of the secondary centers of the city. In the middle of its main business district, the Shangding Triad high-rise office buildings were located here. There were many high-rise buildings around the office building, and the floor area ratio was so high that the low-rise areas below the eighteenth floor of the building only matched the surrounding environment when the lights were turned on at night.
This area belonged to the Xia City branch of the Wilderness Explorers Society. Although there was a severe lack of lighting and the air was hardly fresh, many members of the association still liked to come here when they had nothing to do. After all, on the thirteenth floor of the Shangding Building, in a large laboratory that occupied the entire floor, there was a veteran otaku. He was also a veteran ability user and Extraordinary. He was the president of the Xia City branch, Ouyang Chen.
President Ouyang himself was not very sociable. He was always hiding in the laboratory. One might not even see his shadow for ten days or half a month. But if people mustered up enough courage and could come up with valuable questions to ask, they would often gain something.
Of course, people had to be clear about what was free time and what was busy.
For example, tonight, there was no fool who dared to trouble President Ouyang. Since an hour ago, the outside world had been continuously sending some materials into the biological laboratory in the west tower. Dozens of researchers and experimental assistants were seizing the time to analyze and characterize the relevant materials. It was a busy scene.
"Clone No. 1 is here. Send it to the control panel immediately."
"Why are you only here now? It had been almost half an hour since the suspected gene sample had been delivered! By the way, report the extraction progress. The console will see the results soon. "
"At present, we have extracted some of the gene fragments, but we have not found the complete DNA. The specific report has just been sent."
"Has the Guild Leader signed for it?"
"The president is at the main building's maintenance team."
"… Alright."
Compared to the biology team, the maintenance team located in the main building area was responsible for the construction and maintenance of the global Psychic Wave Network. This was the true backbone of the laboratory, and it was also responsible for the main business of the laboratory. The vast majority of the fifty or so people in the squad might not be considered experts, but without them, the Psychic Wave Network, which covered the entirety of Xia City and even several important regions of the world, could collapse at any time.
The person in charge of the biology team was also helpless. "Don't forget to urge the chairman to sign it. In addition, another clone had arrived. In order to prevent enemy infiltration, the maintenance team had to send people to reconfirm the isolation of the Psychic Wave Network. If something goes wrong, the Guild Leader will have to clean up the mess. "
"Oh … what about this?" The lab assistant showed the bag in his hand that had just been extracted. It was in good condition but had no value in the laboratory.
"Seal it up first. We'll wait for the president to come and do an in-depth examination."
The assistant made an "OK" gesture, sealed the bag into a sterile bag, marked it, and put it aside. At this point, the short period of communication caused by the transfer of the clone body ended, and everyone in the biological group once again began their endless tests and experiments.
They were so busy that none of them noticed that, inside the sterile bag that had been sealed, a 'mold' was growing at an unusual speed in the corner of the bag that had not been cleaned yet. When it expanded to a certain scale, it suddenly ignited in cold flames and evaporated into nothingness.
During this process, the people nearby came and went. Most of them were members of the biology team. However, there was also an engineer from the maintenance team who hurried over to check several key points inside and outside the laboratory.
The target was thus locked on. A corner of the sterile bag silently penetrated the small hole, and a subtle composition flowed out, covering the body of the engineer who passed by like a formless mist.
The alarm went off.
With the sound of the alarm, the maintenance team laboratory on the thirteenth floor of the main building had entered a state of emergency. The relevant information flowed in like a river.
"X-band. X-band access. Access reserve resources according to plan."
"At present, 25% of reserve resources have been injected into the vicinity of the municipal plaza at the request of Vice President He. Do you wish to transfer it?"
The person in charge said without hesitation, "X-band access is optimal. Transfer according to plan. At the same time, expand the environmental monitoring of the target area … "
"Old Gao, wait a moment."
"Huh?"
Ouyang Chen had been quietly sitting in a corner since afternoon. Aside from his limited contact with the outside world, he had practically never issued any orders to the laboratory. His sudden words immediately attracted the attention of the majority of people.
"The municipal plaza is also very important. After all, there are millions of lives there. How about this. Reserve resources will still be executed according to the allocated quota. Maintain a reserve. "
"Splitting forces is a big taboo."
The person in charge today was Xia City's psychic psychic, a B-rank powerhouse, Gao Meng. He had a deep friendship with Ouyang Chen, so he spoke very casually, "Then what about our Boss Luo's side?"
Ouyang Chen didn't immediately respond. Instead, he raised his head to look at the central region of the laboratory. On the central control panel over there was the latest surveillance projection of the battlefield inside the Kewang Communications Building. It was omnidirectional, multi-angle, and detailed.
However, the engineers present rarely raised their heads to look at it. They all preferred to use the HexaEar's relevant functions to 'investigate' the situation. In normal working conditions, the relevant functions were strictly restricted in order to guarantee the privacy of users using the Psychic Wave Network. Only in this sort of emergency wartime situation did these geeks, who stayed in the laboratory all year round, have the opportunity to 'personally experience' the excitement of the danger of war.
Right now the battle in the Kewang Communications Building was in full swing. Whether it was He Yueyin's valiant collision with the motorcycle gang, or the gray rat tide that surged over from all directions, or Luo Nan's group running for their lives, all of this caused the geeks' blood to boil and their blood to run cold.
Ouyang Chen raised his head to see the scene of Luo Nan unleashing the first few waves of the Dripping Sword. It was as if an incorporeal blade had streaked across. In terms of the excitement of the scene, this was far from being comparable to the great battle between He Yueyin and the motorcycle gang in the cargo corridor. But Ouyang Chen paid a great deal of attention to these rats that fell one after another. Of course, he also paid great attention to the cause of their deaths.
"The Dripping Sword, right?"
"The Dripping Sword? It's a machine gun! But, it's just that it's a bit faster. It's fine against a rat horde … … Actually, it's just a rat horde. Its efficiency is a bit lacking. "
"What? You don't feel good about being crushed by a kid? "
"Am I such a narrow-minded person?"
Gao Meng rubbed the stubble on his chin. Then he stiffly skipped over this topic: "You're right about not using backup resources. Conventional mental storms won't have any effect on this type of clone body. And if you want to directly interfere with the material plane, it's a bit more efficient for you to directly make a move for now. But if you make a move, the consumption won't be small. "
"Fortunately, there's always room for recovery here. And, it's better to make a move earlier than later … … "
Even the researchers and engineers who had worked together with Ouyang Chen for many years raised their eyebrows when they heard the conversation between Ouyang Chen and Gao Meng. There were a few fellows who didn't have work to do at the moment. They simply drove their portable chairs over.
It was always very, very refreshing when Extraordinaries made a move. How could they miss this opportunity?
Right at this time, the maintenance engineer who had just returned from the biological laboratory just so happened to enter the door. He heard this news and immediately moved over. Moreover, he unconsciously took a few more steps to cut into the inner circle.
The group of people thought that Ouyang Chen was going to make a move to interfere, but the following change in the situation left the maintenance team stupefied. "What the hell is this? There's even this kind of operation?"
Compared to the machine-gun style of the Dripping Sword, Luo Nan's modified method had already exceeded the limits of perception for most people. There was no reflection of water droplets. There was no trajectory of flight. Several dozen or over a hundred rats inexplicably fell to the ground and died. The way they died was exactly the same as when the Dripping Sword killed them. But what about the process?
Even though the staff members present used the Psychic Wave Network to observe from up close, they were still confused for a time.
As a powerful B-rank psychic, Gao Meng's eyesight surpassed that of the vast majority of people here. But because his eyesight was too good, he, who had the nickname of Heavenly Master, could not help but hiss when he saw this treacherous method.
"Wu Meiniang is most likely giving him special treatment!"
It was still Luo Nan's method of using the Dripping Sword. His train of thought wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but the engraved structural skeleton was skillful and nimble. It was as if he was scribbling with a pen. Plus, the effect of removing the intent and leaving the form behind could only prove that Luo Nan's foundational skills in the Dripping Sword had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. He could completely look down upon the vast majority of ability users in Xia City and even the entire world who practiced this type of method.
Gao Meng grimaced in pain for a time. "When did he start practicing this?"
"I'm not too sure about that."
"You should be able to find out from headquarters. Don't we have to accept missions to download teaching materials?"
Gao Meng subconsciously wanted to log into headquarters' website, but Ouyang Chen's gaze swept over him from behind his glasses. He finally remembered what time it was and could only laugh in embarrassment.
The group of researchers and engineers were a bit disappointed that they were unable to see Ouyang Chen make a move. However, they were able to see the genius methods of the legendary Boss Luo. It was quite beneficial.
In particular, there were quite a few people among them who had mastered the Dripping Sword. Right now, their feelings were even more complicated. Some people felt that their own family's Dripping Sword already had some attainments. It was hard not to feel a bit embarrassed right now. There were also some people who felt that the power of this technique was too small. There were too many restrictions when it came to making a move. They weren't willing to waste too much effort. But when they saw Luo Nan's' demonstration ', they gave birth to thoughts of studying it once more.
The maintenance team discussed spiritedly for a time. The core topic of discussion was: Was this Boss Luo too much of a genius? Or was it because the Dripping Sword was cultivated to the pinnacle that it had this kind of ability?
The reason why the maintenance team was distracted in their discussion was because the situation over at Ke Wang Communications Building had once again entered a controllable state.
Following Luo Nan's wanton slaughter of the rat tide, the distance between their group and the biker gang chasing them had already increased to forty meters. It was without a doubt that the assault against the rat tide had certainly divided a portion of the biker gang's attention. And under He Yueyin's powerful strength, these problems had appeared in a rather astonishing amplification.
Right now, the exit of the passageway leading to the hangar was in sight. It was at most fifty meters away.
But at this time, Ouyang Chen and Gao Meng in the laboratory, Gao De, Si Guosheng, and the others in the cargo passageway all furrowed their brows.
