Overnight, the rise of the Tudenan tribe was already unstoppable after obtaining a fruitful result that was several times their own strength.
Unfortunately, no matter how sufficient the initial conditions were, the rise of any force would still need a process. Zhang Lisheng, who had been dealing with the Grand Wizards of the Three Great Mountain Gates of Witchcraft's Life, Death, and Sacrifice for too long, did not have the time to witness this tribe that believed in him becoming the overlord of the jungle within thousands of kilometers.
He only stayed in the tribe for two to three days before he regrettably rode on Ghostface and hurried back to the gathering place of the humans.
Out of caution and the fact that he only had a piece of animal skin to cover his body, Zhang Lisheng did not walk through the gate of the city wall. Instead, he transformed into a lizard and nihilized his body to pass through the gathering place.
He first quietly sneaked into the cement house at the corner of the gathering place where the wizards once gathered. When he found that there was no one inside, he finally felt relieved. Concealing his body, he walked all the way back to his residence on the ground.
Zhang Lisheng conveniently nihilized his body to pass through the wall and revealed his naked body in the bathroom. After taking a hot bath and scrubbing the mud off his body, he changed into a clean and soft suit and walked out of the door refreshingly to the meat shop opened by LS on Shrimp B1 Island.
Recently, when he was in the gathering place, he would deliberately avoid the vicinity of the shop. This time, his unexpected appearance naturally caused a commotion.
"Oh my God, Mr. Zhang! You've finally appeared!" The sparsely-haired store manager, Tony, made a praying gesture with both of his hands and shouted in surprise. "Mr. Charlie has left a message for you for a long time, asking you to come back to Earth immediately.
The group's factories in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas … Those big cities have already been built. We're just waiting for your order and we can start operating immediately. "
"Is that so? How time flies!" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. "In that case, I'll go back to the lab and immediately take a ship back to New York.
But before that, Tony, give me a few freshly grilled steaks and a dozen iced Cokes. "
"Yes, sir! It'll be done right away!" Tony did it himself and deftly wrapped a few pieces of hot and fat barbecued meat in a paper bag for the big boss. "I'll go to the beach to buy a ticket for you first. You can just board the ship directly later."
"Thank you. You're very thoughtful." Zhang Lisheng nodded with a smile and took the paper bag and the cold Coke. Without caring about his image, he continued to eat and drink as he walked into a cement house with a 'bald eagle' flag hanging on the door beam.
As usual, he accepted the facial scan of the sergeants on duty and walked into the bunker along the underground passage of the inner room. Looking at the digital landmarks on the corridor, he found his biological laboratory. He entered the password and wanted to open the door, but he was surprised to find that the door did not move at all.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. He entered the password again and twisted the door handle forcefully. When he realized that it still did not move, he pressed the intercom on the door in confusion and shouted, "Professor, are you in the lab?"
After a long time, just when he was starting to feel a little impatient, the door of the laboratory was slowly opened. Stephen, who was slovenly and had a white beard on his face, with dark circles under his eyes, stuck his head out. "It's you, Lisheng! Come in! Come in!"
"H-How long has it been since you last rested, Professor?" Zhang Lisheng walked into the lab in a dumbfounded manner and found that the room was in a mess. "I've asked the orderlies in the bunker to help clean up the lab. How did it become like this?!
Professor, did something happen? "
"It's nothing. The only major event recently is the Kanado people, or perhaps the Karlado people or some other names. In short, it's the guys from the steam civilization that we used to call the foreign world. They've completely defeated the South African government army and occupied Cape Town.
Perhaps you don't know that there are three Cape Towns in South Africa, with an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers … "Stephen rambled nervously.
"South Africa has been successfully invaded by the foreign world!" He said it in a relaxed manner, but Zhang Lisheng could not help but exclaim in surprise. A face of an old black man with a gaze full of wisdom and a gentlemanly smile on his face suddenly appeared in his mind, causing his spine to go numb. "What about the other countries on Earth?
What about those military powers? The US, China, the European Alliance countries, and even Japan? Why don't they do anything when the Earth is invaded? "
"Who knows? What they do or don't do has nothing to do with me. I'm a scientist, not a politician.
Anyway, we'll never be invaded if we stay in the US. I have my own work and it's just that I accidentally saw this big news and remembered it in my mind. Who knows who would go … "Stephen waved his hand and said incoherently.
"Oh, you really don't care too much about this kind of thing, Professor." Zhang Lisheng's expression changed as he interrupted his supervisor's nagging. "I really didn't think straight just now. Actually, there's only one thing that can make you like this. What's wrong with Professor Effiny?"
The young man's question made Stephen, who had an agitated expression and was constantly shaking his head, freeze right away. In an instant, he also quietened down. He stood on the spot like a sculpture for a long time before slowly walking to a chair that was piled with various materials in the laboratory and sitting down, before burying his expressionless face into his palms.
Zhang Lisheng, who was by the side, did not urge him. Instead, he looked at his supervisor silently. Not knowing how long had passed, a hoarse and dry answer resonated in his ears, "She suddenly had multiple organ failure. The doctor said that it's because of the sequela left by the long-term hypoxia of the body due to the brain injury. It's very rare, but Effiny is unlucky.
She doesn't have much time left, so I intend to try to use the Gold Core to replace the internal organ system to maintain her life before her brain dies. I've carried out more than 170 experiments in the last ten days.
Unfortunately, the experimental results of small mammals are already very good, but the large mammals are not ideal. "
"Large mammals?" Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth. "Don't tell me that you've used monkeys for experiments, Professor?"
"I bought ten monkeys and shipped them here, but they're all dead now. Actually, as long as enough strong anesthetic is used, the experiment is not that dangerous. As long as the basic substance of the body is protein, it must be subjected to modern biology …"
"Oh, Professor, can you stop talking about modern biology? According to the theory of biology, something like the Emperor Molasses should not exist at all." Zhang Lisheng looked at his supervisor and smiled wryly as an analogy. "There's no accident in the experiment. It's just that you just happen to get a straight flush after playing poker ten times."
"Even so, I still want to continue doing it," Stephen said calmly. "Good luck is also a kind of talent.
Recently, I feel like I'm Newton who was hit by an apple. It's very likely that I'll discover the law of universal gravitation just because my head hurts. "
"I understand your feelings, Professor, but doing this is no different from committing suicide. According to the quality of the existing stabilizer, it's still a joke for you to improve it in such a short period of time even if it's used on large mammals. Even if it succeeds, other than creating a monster that can kill itself, there's nothing else you can do."
"Even so, I still want to give it a try. I might have to waste those Gold Core fragments that you've spent so much effort to obtain. I apologize in advance, child."
"Sh * t! T-This is really sh * t! Those Gold Core fragments are not important! What's important is your life!" Zhang Lisheng was rendered speechless by his supervisor for a while before finally bursting out. "You're not such a professor! You weren't like this before!
You're a scientist! You're a scientist who can directly use a steel pliers to clamp a razor blade to cut open a monkey's scalp and pour in different concentrations of corrosive agents just to collect experimental data! Don't think of yourself as a sensational male lead in an eight o 'clock soap opera! "
"I'm still a cold scientist now, but this doesn't mean that I can't fight for my sister's life," Stephen said in a low voice. "In fact, we're all such people, aren't we? People whose coldness and passion are mixed together by contradiction."
Zhang Lisheng was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said weakly and helplessly, "Since you've already made up your mind, then I have nothing to say.
Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions, Professor. Everyone is the same, no matter if he's an idiot who can't even count to 100 and uses a rake to plant potatoes in a Texas farm or a tenured professor at Stanford University.
Good luck! Goodbye! "After that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Wait, Lisheng!" Stephen stood up from the chair unsteadily. "I've left all the updated formulas of the stabilizer in the 'X' folder on the hard drive of the lab. You know how to find it.
Also, I've already summarized the research we've done on Shrimp B1 Island for more than half a year into a paper and submitted it to the Stanford University's Degree Review Board in your name.
I think there's no problem with the paper, but it's better for you to go back to the university to make up for your basic knowledge for a year before you defend it. Stanford's Degree Review Board likes to hire some antique scientists to do the degree interview so they won't particularly appreciate billionaires. "
Zhang Lisheng's body stiffened. "Thank you, Professor." In the end, he still opened the door of the laboratory without looking back and strode out of the tunnel.
When he came to the surface, he felt extremely depressed. After taking a few deep breaths of the moist air of the island, he shuttled through the noisy city streets and unknowingly came to the beach.
"Mr. Zhang, the ship has just arrived. I've already bought the ticket for you." Tony, who had long bought the ticket and was drenched in sweat by the beach, saw the big boss walking over from afar. He quickly waved the ticket in his hand and walked up to greet him. Pointing at a ship in the sea, he said, "There are not many people queuing up so I didn't help you queue up."
Due to the cost, the ship that civil aviation used to pass through Shrimp B1 Island was much smaller than the cruise ships organized by the government. It was basically a medium-sized ferry that looked similar to the ship that traveled to and from the lower city of New York. The only difference was that one needed to spend at least a few hundred dollars to sit on it while the other did not need to spend a single cent and was completely free.
