Looking at the jungle, Zhang Lisheng became silent for a while before turning his head to look at Min Lan. Lowering his voice, he said, "Sister, there's an old saying that goes' there's a demon in an abnormal situation '.
Don't you think that our exploration in the Oasis World's forest has been too smooth these few days? Back then, in order to build these few campsites, the Gate of Witchcraft has lost hundreds of disciples. How come it's so safe for us to go north now? "
"Didn't Dr. Wang use his' equation 'to calculate everything and everything is normal? You're just an E-ranked disciple of the Gate of Witchcraft, so how can you be smarter than a doctor from a famous foreign university? Don't worry too much."
"Sister, a doctor from a famous university is also a human. Even though I don't know what his equation looks like, a biosphere calculation formula that doesn't have data of more than 100,000 native species recorded is actually similar to fortune-telling." Lisheng smiled noncommittally. "I'm not worried about myself.
To be honest, I've been inspired after reading some ancient books in the Mountain Gate's library and obtained the Gu Nest Spell, so my strength has increased a lot. Even if I really encounter a ferocious monster, I'll still be able to fight it as long as it's not ridiculously strong. You, on the other hand, have to be more careful. "
"A calculation without data of more than 100,000 native species recorded is similar to fortune-telling. Do you really think you know that?
Besides, you've only mastered the Gu Nest Spell and caught a few wizard gus, but you're already so arrogant? You've really become more capable now, Lisheng! " Min Lan, who had already approached her own tent, was stunned. Studying the young man a few times, she said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, before lifting the curtain and disappearing without a trace.
"I've already gotten used to telling lies, so nobody will believe me if I tell the truth …" Zhang Lisheng curled his lips and walked back to his tent helplessly.
After washing up in the bathroom, the young man sat cross-legged on the steel wire bed, waiting for the orderlies to send food.
From the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Pei Youliang, who was living in the same room as him, taking out a large piece of red-and-white grease wrapped in a plastic bag from a rucksack. Tearing open the packaging and throwing it on the ground, he commanded seven to eight green worms the size of an adult's arm to open their mouths that were filled with wriggling granulation and suck it bit by bit. Casually, he remarked, "Senior Brother Pei, these wizard gus eat interesting food.
However, Wang Liansheng will be here to deliver food in a while. Be careful not to scare him. "
After spending seven to eight days together, exploring the foreign world together during the day and fainting inexplicably at night, other than that, he did not suffer any other injuries. Adding on to the fact that he continuously commanded the wizard gus to fight with the ferocious beasts, it was a great exercise of willpower. For this reason, Pei Youliang's fear of Zhang Lisheng had gradually decreased.
Upon hearing the young man's words, although his face stiffened, his voice no longer trembled. "Don't worry, Junior Brother. I'll let them eat under the bed."
As Pei Youliang was speaking, a low and almost inaudible 'pst pst pst pst …' sound resonated from his mouth. Subsequently, the few meat worms worked together to push the thick fat block under the bed.
Coincidentally, at the same time, the curtain of the tent was opened and Wang Liansheng walked in with two lunch boxes in his hands. "Chief, dinner is here. Today we have yellow croaker and roast duck pancakes to improve our lives."
"Is that so? These are delicious meals," Zhang Lisheng said with a smile. "Brother Liansheng, you look so happy. The campsite is going to be moved to the north soon. Aren't you busy?" Due to the reason that they were getting more familiar with each other, his tone seemed to be more amiable than a few days ago.
"The relocation of the campsite is the work of the technical sergeants. Those of us who are in charge of logistics support only need to pack up our own things." Wang Liansheng placed a lunch box on the young man's bedside table and said mysteriously, "Sir, remember to wake up early tomorrow. I guarantee that you'll have an eye-opening experience."
"Oh? There's an eye-opening experience?" Zhang Lisheng already knew about the uniqueness of the A0001 campsite from the unique high-tech power grid that wrapped around the campsite. His heart jolted as he asked.
"This is a matter of discipline so I can't tell you in detail. In short, you'll know once you get out of the tent in the morning." Wang Liansheng placed another lunch box on Pei Youliang's bedside table and saluted. "I'll take my leave first, Chiefs." Then, he waved his arm and left the tent.
Watching him leave, Zhang Lisheng muttered under his breath, "Even a small soldier like him is trying to be mysterious …" Then, he opened the lunch box.
The aroma of braised fish wafted out. The young man took a deep breath and began to eat with satisfaction.
After dinner, due to the fact that Ai Chuhe had an appointment, Zhang Lisheng transformed into a lizard as usual and knocked Pei Youliang out like a ghost. Instead of sneaking out of the campsite, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate his secret method.
In the blink of an eye, three to four hours had passed. When the young man sensed something and opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful girl with short hair and a long hair trailing over her shoulders sneakily walking into the tent.
When the short-haired girl saw Zhang Lisheng sitting on the bed and looking at her with a smile, she was stunned for a moment and opened her mouth speechlessly. After a moment of silence, she suddenly ran to the young man's bed and asked out of the blue, "Zhang Lisheng, tell me the truth. Are you a US spy or not?"
Zhang Lisheng had imagined many questions that Guo Caiying would ask him, but he, who had always thought that he was the most authentic Chinese, had never thought that the girl would actually ask him this question.
After staring at Guo Caiying in bewilderment for a while, the young man shrugged and asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, why would you think of asking me such an absurd question?"
"Look at your typical American tricks. Don't shrug and answer me honestly. Are you a spy of the US government?"
"Of course not," Zhang Lisheng said helplessly. "I'm not mentally ill. Why would a Chinese person like me become a spy for the US government?"
"Then, how did you appear in the Oasis World?" Upon hearing the young man's denial and the fact that he did not look like he was lying, Guo Caiying's attitude eased up but she still asked hesitantly.
"That's a long story …" Zhang Lisheng put on a bitter face and told her about his encounter after coming to the country with some redactions. "I'm an old man and I've inherited witchcraft. I know that some wizards will curse people with witchcraft or simply kill them and feed them to the bugs if they have a disagreement.
Why would law and justice be placed in these people's hearts? For this reason, I can only cooperate with them. "
"Y-You think that it's useless to look for the police? Just look for me then! Western Sichuan is the world of the party, so who can turn the world upside down? How can there be no law and justice?!" Upon hearing the young man's nonsense, Guo Caiying retorted angrily.
"Senior Sister, have you heard of the old saying 'when an ordinary man gets angry, blood will splash five steps away'? If they really kill me because they're angry, what's the point even if they're sentenced to death and eat 'peanuts' in the future?
I didn't know that those sects that spread witchcraft have already been incorporated by the government. At that time, of course, I only wanted to protect myself so I followed their instructions.
Later on, when I entered the sect, I saw that there was no danger and I could come and go freely. Not only that, there were many ancient books that I could read, so I wanted to finish reading the books that I'm interested in before leaving. In the end, I was inexplicably chosen to come to Oasis World, so I guess this can be considered as a blessing in disguise. "
"Blessing in disguise your a * s! Do you know how troublesome it will be if your identity is discovered? You're a US citizen and you're in charge of Stanford's biological laboratory on Shrimp B1 Island. Now that you've suddenly appeared in China's frontier base in Oasis World, do you think that anyone would believe that the reason is that you were forced to buy a house?"
"Of course not!
We can only regretfully think that Dr. Zhang has an ulterior motive and has illegally sneaked into Oasis World's A0001 camp to steal China's relevant secrets. " As soon as the girl's voice trailed off, a calm voice came from outside the tent. Then, the curtain was lifted, and Xu Naijia walked in under the protection of a few warriors who were wearing full-body black metal armors. Their eyes were bulging like flies.
"Cousin, y-you …" Upon seeing her cousin's appearance, Guo Caiying stammered in panic.
"What? Guo Caiying? This is the country's frontier base in the supernatural realm, not a resort campsite. How could I possibly not know that you've been coming to this tent every few days?
I think you're getting bolder and bolder now! Hurry up and come over! "Xu Naijia said angrily.
"I-I'm not going over! Lisheng is innocent! I believe in him!" Guo Caiying hesitated with a grave expression before standing in front of Zhang Lisheng and said loudly.
Being blocked by the girl, Zhang Lisheng sighed and jumped down from the wire bed, before placing his hand on Guo Caiying's shoulder.
Upon seeing his unexpected action, Xu Naijia's face turned pale right away. Then, she saw the young man's slightly sarcastic smile. "Senior Sister, your cousin also believes that I'm innocent. Otherwise, she would've waited for you to leave before coming in.
However, to a person like her, it's not a big problem whether she believes in me or not. The key is to make up for the loophole first. Unfortunately, she's mistaken about the opponent's strength this time. You leave first, I'm afraid it'll be dangerous here. "
As he was speaking, he pushed with his palm and the girl involuntarily staggered and fell into Xu Naijia's arms.
"Dr. Zhang, looks like you're not a despicable person." Holding Guo Caiying who was safe and sound, Xu Naijia breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression became calm again. "Out of kindness, I advise you not to be impulsive. Even if you have some strange abilities and can really escape from the A0001 camp, it's still impossible for you to leave China."
"Oh, arrest me? What crime are you going to use, Madam Xu Naijia? In fact, you must know that arresting a scholar who has a little fame in the global academic community, has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and has a wide network in both the political and business circles of the US, and has been invited by the Chinese Ministry of Education to do an academic visit at a well-known university would require a very, very, very sufficient reason and evidence.
Especially when the scholar's first stop after escaping is to go to a certain US embassy in China, things will undoubtedly become more troublesome. " In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lisheng regained the calm and sharp attitude unique to the top figures of the New York Vanity Fair as he said politely in English.
The young man's sudden change in demeanor and sharp words rendered Xu Naijia speechless for a while. At this moment, a firm and deep male voice resonated from outside the tent. "In that case, it's very simple. We just need to stop you from escaping the camp." Then, the entire tent suddenly fell apart.
