Falvey led Cillin towards a semicircular building that wasn't too tall. He didn't say anything as he carried out his identity verification. Then, a scanning screen jumped out from the door and scanned both of them. After confirming their identities, they entered the building and took the vertical staircase all the way to the fifth floor. They arrived beside a door.
"Father, I've brought him here." Falvey said.
The door beeped open after Falvey's voice.
There was an old man sitting in the room. He wasn't that old, but he looked like he had been through a lot. Plus, his hair was white. Based on Falvey's hair color, Nata shouldn't have white hair, so it could only be acquired.
Nata wasn't necessarily much older than Bart or Songba Leruo. But from the looks of it, fifty years in prison was a torturous period for Nata.
"Father." Falvey's expression was much gentler when he faced Nata. The estranged aura from before was gone.
Nata smiled. Unlike Falvey, Nata's smile was very kind. For some reason, Nata was feeling a little sad right now. Maybe it was because he had just returned from Sector S.
When Cillin and Falvey arrived, Nata was holding a book. It was a paper book, and it looked a little old.
"Sit, Silin." Nata pointed at a chair beside him before turning to Falvey, "You may leave first. I'll call you later."
Falvey opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He left in silence, but his eyes looked a little unwilling.
After Falvey had left, Nata looked closely at Silin like he was looking at a junior that he valued.
"I never thought that the Sixth Division would produce someone like you." Nata sighed.
Silin was puzzled. Someone like me? What kind of person is that?
Noticing Silin's puzzlement, Nata smiled again and asked, "You've read a couple of Chamounidin's notebooks in Engi's possession, haven't you?"
Silin nodded.
Engi was brought out by Chamounidin, and Chamounidin was originally a member of Sonata's Third B Squadron.
Nata sighed a little. When he heard the news of Engi's death, he didn't feel good. There weren't many people left in his original group, and Chamounidin was glad that he had transferred Engi to the Sixth Division before the incident. But who knew that they still wouldn't be able to meet again after they left Sector S.
Nata stood up and said to Silin, "Come with me."
This should be Nata's private place. After passing through several doors, Nata brought Silin to a study room. Yes, a study room.
There were many paper books in the study, and most of them were notes, diaries, and other related records.
There were some books that Silin knew were similar to the ones in his hands. They should all belong to Chamounidin.
"Most of the books in Engi's hands are duplicates, and they are incomplete. All of Chamounidin's parasitic research records are here. Oh right, there's also this." Nata took out a thick notebook from a closet. This notebook was different from normal paper. It was a semi-electronic notebook, and similar to some published newspapers, the pictures on it could be moved.
Seeing Nata's cherished expression when he took out this thick notebook, Silin carefully accepted it and looked at Nata in puzzlement instead of flipping through the records inside.
Nata explained, "This is Chamounidin's unfinished work. We call it 'The Parasitic Code', and there are a lot of parasitic species recorded in it. Almost all of them were encountered by Chamounidin during his missions, but the records are incomplete. A lot of deeper research was cut off. One reason was that he didn't have much free time to research a particular parasitic species on its own, and the other reason was that conditions were limited. Many people, including the original members of the Third B Squadron, did not think highly of Chamounidin's parasitic research. Everything stopped after the incident fifty years ago."
"Then what are you …"
"Silin, if you want to research these things, you can come and look at them whenever you need them. Although these things are classified as confidential by the regiment, and non-core researchers are usually not allowed to come into contact with them, most of the A Squadron's researchers are not involved in these projects. In order not to let Chamounidin's research go to waste, I've decided to open this information to you."
"Although I'm very happy to come into contact with these things and see Senior Chamounidin's research results, Senior Nata, can you explain more clearly?" Silin still didn't know what Nata meant. Was he asking him to take over Chamounidin's research and continue his research? But he was the vice commander of the Sixth Squadron right now. He might not have a lot of things to do normally, but he definitely didn't have much free time to specifically research these things.
Nata shook his head, "I just don't want Chamounidin's research to go to waste. To be honest, there are very few people who have truly realized the value of the 'Parasitic Code' to this day, myself included. Maybe it's because I don't understand it, but after that incident, the regiment commander classified the 'Parasitic Code' as a confidential document. Other than some core researchers, no one else knows about the existence of this record, and most of those who knew about it died fifty years ago." Nata's voice grew a little gloomy when he said this. It was obvious that he was remembering a bad past.
"You think too highly of me." Silin didn't feel too happy because of Nata's words. Why would a man like Nata who had just returned from Sector S believe in Silin's abilities so much? It definitely wasn't because of Engi. Silin knew from Engi's diary that Engi didn't hold much weight in Nata's eyes. If it wasn't for Chamounidin, then Engi wouldn't even enter Nata's eyes.
Nata stroked a notebook and said slowly, "Although I'm no longer the commander of the Third B Squadron and have directly joined the A Squadron after my return, and logically speaking, I shouldn't care about these things anymore, Chamonidine is a good friend of mine. Before he passed away all those years ago, he passed all of his research results to me, so I also have the right to choose this information. This is also a responsibility I have borne. I believe in his words. The things he valued so highly must be of extraordinary value. Even when I was in prison, I often thought about how to display the value of these things.
After I came back, I learned about Vanguard's current situation, and I also learned about you, Silin. Both Bart and Songba Leruo communicated with me, and they knew that I pay more attention to the parasites. That's why they recommended you, Silin. However, it was only after I investigated that I realized that you're far more outstanding than I imagined. "
While saying this, Nata brought up a document. The information flashing on the light screen was very familiar to Silin. It was information about the two parasites used to eliminate Poison Fang back then, and it was a very detailed analysis. The A Squadron's core research institute must've done in-depth research on the two parasites at the time, or they wouldn't have come up with such a detailed conclusion.
"According to the explanation provided by the A Team's research institute, both types of worms contain serial lethal genes that have been specially implanted in their bodies. As long as one of the serial lethal genes is activated, the worm will die, and the activation point is determined by time …"
Yes, although the planet was filled with the parasites released by Silin and Huimao, the two parasites had a point of decline in their life cycle, and that point of decline was the moment when the lethal gene was activated. They would gradually die, and their colony would gradually decline towards extinction. Silin did not wish for the entire planet to become a nest of parasites, or Vanguard would have a hard time taking down the entire planet. Not everyone had a physique like Silin, and Huimao's rare species in the universe was even rarer.
When he said this, Nata could not help but grin, "You might not know this, but the previous commander of your Third B Squadron, Seru, was so happy that his face was about to blossom when he mentioned you."
This time, Silin was truly surprised. This was the first time he heard Seru's former commander's opinion of him. He did not think that his former commander would still pay attention to them.
"Oh, you might not know about Seru's situation. That guy just doesn't like to show off. I heard that the Émouse who was sent to Poison Fang to negotiate with the military was sent by Seru to negotiate with the military. That kid almost died of happiness. "
Actually, these people who were already mentioned as A Squadron would often pay attention to the news of their former squadrons. When they gathered together, they would compare themselves with each other. It was just like how parents talked about their children. Who wouldn't want their child to have a Hall of Fame achievement? They couldn't wait to show off anything they had. However, Seru had been depressed for many years. During the days when the Sixth Division was at a low ebb, every time Seru talked about it with Bart and the others, he would feel like killing his way to the Sixth Division and beating up those disappointing brats.
However, ever since the Sixth Division came out of Sector Z, Seru gradually became more and more smug. Silin aside, even Bart and Songba Leruo had praised Silin a lot.
Talent and ability weren't things that you could get just because you wanted to.
"Do whatever you want to do. Seru also said that you're the only person with a bit of drive in the Sixth Division right now. Back then, Seru led the Sixth Division to the point where they didn't have much autonomy and relied on him as their commander. But when Seru mentioned A Squadron, the rest of them shriveled up." Nata said earnestly.
Nata told Silin to come here and look at the data if he needed it. Everything inside the room had been moved from Chamounidin's place, and most people didn't have the right to look at the originals. In fact, they might not even have the right to see the duplicates. Naturally, Silin knew about this. He couldn't miss out on the opportunity to see Chamounidin's research results and related records.
Silin stayed in the study and flipped through the notes. He knew that there would definitely be surveillance cameras in the room, but he didn't want to bother with them. Right now, the most important thing was to memorize these things as soon as possible. With Silin's memory, there was no need for duplicates. It was enough to flip through the originals once. There was no need for him to come here often in the future. After all, he didn't know when he would have the time to return to the stronghold after going on a mission with the team.
Silin realized that most of the time, Chamounidin liked to record the information with his own hands. He especially liked to use the most common paper notebooks that had been abandoned in some places.
The notebook that Silin was holding was one of them. Flipping it open, he could see many records that were written down by Chamounidin. Even the parasites were drawn by him. He had drawn many different types of parasites, and they were all vivid and lifelike. Chamounidin mentioned in one of the notebooks that he would only have a deeper understanding of these creatures when he drew them with his own hands. From there, he would be able to understand their possible weaknesses and related ecological characteristics.
Although Silin knew that there were surveillance cameras in the room, he would never have thought that the people in front of the cameras were watching.
"How much do you think he recorded?" Someone asked.
"I don't know." Nata shook his head.
"This kid is amazing!" The person could not help but laugh. "He's a good seedling, a rare seedling!"
"It's rare to get such an evaluation from you, boss."
The person that Nata called boss was the number one leader of Vanguard, one of the Six Stars of Hunter, Ji Feng.
Silin flipped through the pages very quickly, even the book that was known as the essence of Chamounidin's research, "The Parasite Code." It looked like he was flipping through it casually, but in fact, Silin had already memorized everything clearly.
Silin stayed there for three days. Halfway through, Nata sent someone to deliver food to him. The rest of the time, Silin was flipping through the records in the study. Nata did not try to persuade Silin and just let him be.
Three days later, Silin finally stood up from his chair, stretched his slightly stiff limbs and warmed up his muscles. Three days of flipping through the records without rest and sleep had caused him to be highly focused and exhausted. At this moment, he could clearly feel the waves of exhaustion rolling over him.
Rubbing his eyes, Silin walked out of the study, bid farewell to Nata and left.
As usual, Falvey used Nata's plane to send Silin back. However, the way Falvey looked at Silin had changed. He did not know what Nata had told him. Falvey had even spoken a few words of his own accord, surprising Silin greatly.
The first thing he did after returning to the Sixth Squad's stronghold was to have a good sleep. He did not pay attention to Likrabe's research and development progress. After a cursory glance, he confirmed that there were no problems for the time being, and that Likrabe would be able to overcome them with a little more time.
Silin also ignored Eudy's research on the prison's defense system data he had stolen from Sector S. Before Silin left, the note Eudy had slipped into Silin's hands was for Silin to steal the prison's defense system program and related data for research.
Right now, Silin's mind was filled with dense parasites, molecular formulas and genetic strands that were flying around. He needed to digest them properly.
Before Silin prepared to go into 'closed door cultivation', Dias told him that he would be holding his wedding with Assia at the stronghold ten days later. He told him that he must wake up on that day no matter what, or else he would be pulled awake by force.
In reality, it did not take ten days. Silin slept for eight days.
During these eight days, a lot of small things had happened. For example, Tico had officially joined the ranks, the Sixth Division's Animal Legion had pried open Kari's storage cabinet, and Tico's residence was publicly acknowledged as the scariest place in the Sixth Division...
Regardless, Shotton was very satisfied with the current Sixth Division. The division had always been filled with excellent talents, and when he was still in the A Squadron, the former captain Theru had taken care of him quite a bit. This flattered Shotton greatly, and it was worth mentioning that Theru wanted nothing more than to drag Shotton over and give him a good beating every time he saw him.
Dias had a radiant smile on his face as of late. To quote Kari's own words, people with families were just different!
When they heard that Dias was getting married, old and new friends who could not attend the wedding specifically sent him their congratulations. The wedding was to be held in the Sixth Division's auditorium.
Silin gave them a big red packet. This was what Dias had requested. He wanted something more practical and practical. Therefore, Silin directly sent a six-digit memory card over. Dias was so happy that his eyebrows almost floated up.
On the day of the wedding, Dias was dressed very formally. He was in high spirits when it came to happy events. He walked into the auditorium with a smile on his face and held the hand of the bride, Assia.
In front of them, the two little guys, Chifeng and Tang Qiuqiu, each carried a flower basket and scattered flowers along the way.
Chifeng tried hard not to wag his tail, but when he was happy, it was difficult to control himself. His canines were smiling. This was the first time he had encountered something like this. It was the first time he had been together with so many people. He was very happy to experience such an atmosphere.
During one of the performances, many people had to go up to offer their congratulations or perform. The most dazzling performance was Huimao and Likrabe's duel — Mechanical Dance.
When he heard the news that Likrabe and Huimao were going to have a mechanical dance, Kari looked at Likrabe with a pitiful expression. Other people might not know Huimao's background, but he did, especially that mechanical form. Mechanical dance with such a strange creature? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Originally, Silin, Udoze, and Tang Qiuqiu were the only people who had seen these two monsters' dance at Acerella's' Dance Night 'in Sector F. Most people had never seen the atmosphere caused by these two guys' dance. Therefore, when Likrabe and Huimao took their first step to the beat, everyone's attitude changed.
Once again, Likrabe displayed the aura of the 'Wolf King' of Dance Night on stage. Although it was not as good as Huimao who already had the upper hand in the first place, the duo's violent dance still caused the entire audience to reach a climax. Even the other team leaders who were only here to go through the motions couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. This time, the Sixth Division had produced quite a few monsters. Even Nata and the others' eyes were in deep thought.
There was no need to prove it by force. The great hall that was dyed by the unique aura was already silent.
According to Dias, this wedding wasn't just a blessing for him and Assia, it was also a blessing for Likrabe and Huimao's dance to become famous throughout Vanguard.
It took a long time for the audience to realize that they were humans and not robots after watching the duo's violent dance.
Although the current technology allowed robots to move no differently or even more smoothly than humans, the illusion of executing a programmed order lingered in everyone's mind for a long time.
A feast was inevitable at a wedding, and there was no lack of gluttons in Sixth Division, especially a certain white fatty who was running around with his feet wide open.
Tico's Little White was still nibbling on its carrot quietly, but its eyes would occasionally glance at Huimao, Xueqiu and the others.
Not long after the wedding, the A Squad sent out news that the riots at Sector S had officially subsided.
The subsiding of the riots at Sector S did not mean the beginning of peace. Perhaps a bigger wave was slowly approaching.
