(I've been so sad to get my grades so sluggish lately.) It's about to break out like crazy for everyone, don't you encourage it? ）

After receiving Xiao Yan's application, the college quickly sent an expert in pathology. This is a woman in her mid-thirties with black wide-rimmed glasses. The large lenses almost covered half of her face, and she looked unsmiling. When he saw Xiao Yan for the first time, he asked bluntly: "When will you leave?" ”

For some reason, Xiao Yan always felt that this pathology expert was a little familiar, but in his impression, he had never seen such a woman, but this inexplicable familiarity lingered.

"A new message."

Alysatia also had a strange smile on her face, which also made Xiao Yan feel abnormal, there could still be such a smile at this time, what was Alysatia thinking?

Realizing that her smile was noticed by Xiao Yan, Alyssatia hurriedly lowered her head, looked at the tablet in her hand, and said, "The support information received from the pathology research department of the European Management Committee says that the two molecular bonds of the teardrop may have a prion-like effect, extracting hydrogen bonds from the two gene strands. You can think of it as dehydrating the gene strands, so that the two gene strands that originally spiraled around each other and left a certain gap between each other are locked together. After this process, the human epidermis becomes very shriveled, and the entire subcutaneous tissue structure becomes a spider web-like cavity, and the skin loses elasticity. ”

A word that best suited the situation popped up in Xiao Yan's mind: "Zombies!" ”

Alyssatia nodded meaningfully and said, "Zombie, you're right. The epidermis rapidly leathers. Subsequent itching of the skin on the body can produce constant irritation to the brain. In the end, ordinary humans lose their minds. Start attacking everything you see. In this process, these infected humans can still maintain the basic posture of walking upright, and after the skin loses moisture, it will lose its thermal insulation effect, and the body temperature of these infected humans will be reduced to about 15 degrees, as for the changes after that, it is not possible to predict for the time being. Of course, these are ideal presumptions. At least so far this has not happened. ”

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and said, "The price and preparation of teardrops are the biggest problem, otherwise, the zombie siege will soon be staged around us." ”

Alysatia nodded, "This matter is no longer a secular internal issue, and we have issued a warning to several countries in the East Asian region. However, I need to remind you that being able to create such a drug, and at the same time being involved with a trialist like Wugong Youxing, is definitely not an idle ordinary drug institution. On the contrary, this shili hidden in a place we don't know can be very large. Behind this shili, there should be the shadow of a demon. And for now, this demon's shili is not at all comparable to the legend of Torge that has been sealed for hundreds of years. ”

"Not legendary. But it can be more troublesome and more dangerous than the legend. ”

This is Alysatia's reminder: "Be careful, if the other party has such a big shili and can have an impact on the Martial Palace Youxing, they may also have some knowledge of your itinerary." It's the first time you've ever acted entirely in the world, and you're going to be subject to a lot of constraints, and they're probably going to be unscrupulous, and I think you know what that means. ”

Xiao Yan nodded, shook hands with Alyssatia and said goodbye, and turned to walk towards the female pathologist who was obviously a little impatient.

"You can call me Novelly," the female pathologist didn't have a good expression for Xiao Yan, and on the car to the airport, she looked down at the information in her hand and said, "The situation has not deteriorated for the time being, which is at least not a bad thing." ”

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said, "There is no deterioration, it may be a precursor to an imminent explosion." ”

Novelli turned her head to look at Xiao Yan and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

"The plague against the Trialists, that will have terrible consequences. No, by far the biggest problem is that we simply do not know who the enemy really is and where. I don't know what the enemy's purpose is, for now, we only know that the Martial Palace Youxing has mutated, and it is a mutation that has occurred in the space of the Shijie Tree. Those flagella must have changed and cannot be detected by the Shijie Tree. Other than that, we don't have any information. ”

"So you want to go to Fuso?"

"All the itineraries of Akira Kondo and Takemiya Yuxing after they came to Huaxia may have been investigated by now, if the enemy is really as strong as Alyssa Tia reminded, then the itinerary of these two people in Huaxia must be invulnerable."

Xiao Yan flipped through the documents on the tablet, and then said: "The recent contact records of Akira Kondo and Takemiya Youxing in Fuso are probably already being taken by the opponent in advance. However, I have to get there as soon as possible to take a look, even if it's just a formality, it can make the opponent nervous. I may not have found anything, but our opponents can't be sure of that. ”

After checking a few locations, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said, "We are facing a fog, no one knows whether Wugong Youxing has mutated because of teardrops and related drugs, and what the reason for Wugong Youxing's mutation is has not yet been found." Because of this, we must let the enemy take the initiative to appear, instead of passively waiting for the outcome here in the imperial capital. “

"So you're just a pretense to go to Fuso and take me with you? Convince them that you will find a sign of clues? ”

Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and said, "No, I still hope to get your help and find some clues." Relying solely on our enemies to make mistakes on their own is not insurance, and we need to take a two-pronged approach to ensure that this is ultimately implemented. ”

The vehicles sent out by the academy quickly fell silent, and occasionally some phone calls rang from Xiao Yan, the office, the airport, his plane pilot, etc., all of which were reporting news after news to Xiao Yan.

It was freezing in the imperial capital in December, and it was very troublesome for the office to temporarily transfer a Bayshore business plane from the hangar, and then immediately prepare it for take-off, clear the runway and open the air line in a few hours. What's more, there are also Xiao Yan's passport and visa, proof of going to the country, etc., the secular regulations are more troublesome than Xiao Yan imagined, and the kind of walking in reality in the movie can't be done at all.

It wasn't until 6 a.m. that Xiao Yan and Novelli boarded the bayshore, and 20 minutes later, the plane began taxiing down the runway.

"There is no free runway at Tokyo International Airport, so planes can only land at Osaka Airport."

After the female flight attendant brought Xiao Yan coffee, she said: "The flight time is about three and a half hours, and the local time in Fusang is about eleven o'clock. ”

Xiao Yan nodded, turned his head and asked Novelly, "What do you need?" ”

Novelli looked at Xiao Yan coldly, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, Qing Shui is fine." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, looked at the map in his hand, and after the female flight attendant left, he whispered: "It's really strange that there is no direct connection between Huaxia and Fusang Shijie Tree Rhizome." The rhizomes in Fuso actually extend from the direction of Australia. ”

Novelli looked back at her profile and casually asked, "What's wrong?" ”

What's wrong? Xiao Yan clearly remembered that at the time of the Ming Dynasty trial, Yuan Daoren once showed Xiao Yan the direction of the dragon vein in Huaxia, and from Changbai, it was originally a branch line along the coastline directly into the sea, although limited to the geographical knowledge of the Ming Dynasty and the ability to explore the dragon vein, there is no clear evidence that this branch line finally went there. But judging from the Xiangshang of this branch line, it should be possible to reach Fusang eventually.

That is to say, at least at that time in the Ming Dynasty, the rhizome of the Shijie tree could still be directly connected to Huaxia and Fusang, but it is not known that Weishenme, and the current map shows that there was never a direct connection between Huaxia and Fusang.

That's right, never.

Xiao Yan is not an expert in rhizome exploration and has no say in the history of rhizomes, so he does not casually doubt this judgment. As for the inference that there has never been such a rhizome, if you want to refute it, you need to have conclusive evidence, and Xiao Yan has no interest in collecting this evidence. No, no, he won't delay his time and energy in this regard.

Since Xiao Yan did not answer Novelli's question, the cabin quickly fell silent. After a while, the female flight attendant brought a bottle of mineral water and glasses. After a simple thank-you, Novelli watched the female flight attendant leave and turned her head to look at Xiao Yan.

This time, Novelli was no longer as flickering or hurried as before, but watched Xiao Yan very seriously, there seemed to be some confusion in his eyes, and there seemed to be something else in it.

The perception of the awakened made Xiao Yan detect this abnormality after more than ten seconds, his gaze was withdrawn from his tablet, he looked up at Novelli, and asked, "What?" ”

"No, it's nothing," Novelli said, holding her eyes, "I've heard about you in the academy, and there are all sorts of rumors. Say you're cold, say you're amorous, say you care more about the world, say you have a lot of secrets. There are various versions of these rumors, and I want to see which version of Xiao Yan you are. ”

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, rubbed his face, and said, "I should wash my face once so that you can take a closer look, I'm really sorry to be so embarrassed now." ”

Novelli seemed to smile as well, lowered her head again, looked at the information, and said, "Okay, it's business time, are you sure those flight attendants won't hear what we say?" ”

Xiao Yan looked at the tablet and said, "It seems that you have already made a discovery, communicate directly through the tablet, and it is better to be as cautious as possible now." ”

"The first place where teardrops were found was in South Asia, where the drug was identified on the island of Formosa over a period of almost a year."

This was the first message from Novelli. (To be continued......)
