Chapter 35: Things you can’t get when you’re young

In the cold light reflected by the cold gray metal wall, the numbers on the warm light curtain jumped until the number reached -110 meters and the elevator door opened.

Unlike the empty hall upstairs.

Once the door opened, looking around, it looked like a huge personnel transfer station.

Many researchers in white coats were walking hurriedly between the elevators and vacuum capsule cars that led to unknown destinations.

The central area of ​​the hall is like a rest stop for travelers. There are coffee shops, fast food restaurants, noodle shops, and even milk tea shops. There are also many people in white coats staying here.

The floor space is several times larger than the hall of the research institute upstairs.

The elevator that had just brought them here was just one of the inconspicuous entrances.

The short and fat man led Huasi around the central area and changed to another elevator.

During this time, I met some people in white coats who greeted the short and fat man.

However, it seemed to be commonplace, and none of them expressed any objection to him leading a prisoner.

When someone asked if it was a new project, the short and fat man just smiled and nodded.

When he arrived at the elevator they were going to take, he first used his fingerprint to open the elevator, then confirmed his identity with his iris after entering, and then the elevator began to move slowly.

At the same time, an electronic reminder sounded:

「研究员0134，该电梯能通往-1、-2、-6、-9层，请选择前往楼层。」

"-9th floor."

"Authorization approved. The elevator is about to go to the -9th floor."

This electronic sound had just ended not long ago, and it sounded again almost immediately afterwards:

"Researcher 0134, -9 floor has been reached."

"Let's go." The short and fat man was the first to get out of the elevator.

This time, what caught my eye were the huge glass display cases, scattered around the formal entrance of the floor.

The more Hua looked at these things, the more familiar they seemed.

I couldn't help but stop in front of these glass display cases.

The short and fat man didn't seem to be in a hurry to take her in. He didn't urge her. Instead, he stood with Hua in front of a giant biological specimen that was 3 meters tall, snow-white, with perfectly smooth bone and muscle lines, and a tail with barbs.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" The short and fat man answered, seemingly not caring about the flowers, and began to introduce the specimens:

"This is an A-level wind-type source beast. It is obviously huge, but its body is much lighter than other source beasts. Its running speed is so fast that it is difficult to catch with the naked eye. We dispatched many high-level evolvers to obtain such a perfect research sample."

Then, the short and fat man began to talk incessantly about the changes in the bones of this A-level wind source beast when it used energy, as well as the parts of its body where the source crystals were stored.

But Huasi didn't hear a word of the short and fat man's introduction.

Because she knows this thing!

But the name of this thing in my memory is not Source Beast, but Shaman. They are very sensitive to infrasound waves, and any infrasonic weapon can make them lose their ability to move.

The flower seemed to have walked to a plant display cabinet that was less than 1 meter high.

The short and fat man also followed.

He began to introduce it in detail: "This is a source plant. Many evolutionary agents used to increase human potential are extracted from the source crystals in the roots of this plant. Its elements change with each season, and its appearance will change accordingly."

The short and fat man looked at the plant specimens inside with tenderness, like a kind old father.

And Hua seems to recognize this thing!
However, in her memory, it was not called Yuanzhi, but Black Six Candles, an interstellar plant that was specifically used to cure female dysmenorrhea. Its tender stems were peeled, blanched in boiling water, and then mixed with salt, oil and other seasonings and eaten directly.

Then, Huasi walked to an insect specimen that was nearly two meters long.

Unsurprisingly, the insect is called the source insect.

Look through several glass display cases.

The flowers seemed to understand.

Mammals are called source animals, plants are called source plants, and insects are called source insects.

Compared to the ordinary animals and plants in this world that do not possess extraordinary powers.

This name is rough.

But it is also appropriate and does not require much thought. However, it also reflects from the side that people currently do not understand these creatures.

The only function they have been seen to have is providing evolutionary agents to evolvers.

Finally, Huasi walked to a giant egg and asked, "So this is called the Source Egg, right?"

Just when Hua Si didn't expect any surprising answers, the short and fat man firmly denied Hua Si's guess—

"No, it's a dragon egg!"

Huasi: “???”

This world doesn't even have space jump technology.

There is a dragon!

Hua seemed to be clinging to the glass, her eyes shining. She looked left and right and didn't feel that the gray mass had the temperament of a dragon. She bent her knuckles and knocked on the inside.

"Stop knocking, the embryo inside is dead." The short and fat man tried to stop Hua Si.

Huasi licked her lips obediently and asked, "May I ask when did she die? Didn't you think of cooking and eating her? It would be a pity to make her into a specimen."

Flower's tone was quite regretful.

I don't feel like I said anything shocking at all.

The short and fat man observed her expression carefully and found that the girl looked serious and had no intention of joking at all. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Others know that there are creatures like dragons.

Shouldn't we all want to see each other?
Why does this little girl want to eat as soon as she opens her mouth?
Moreover, he told her that it was a dragon egg, and she had no doubt at all?

It’s not that Hua Si didn’t have doubts, but she had searched the entire galaxy for dragons.

Because the old friend told her that in her previous life she had a abnormal physique that was almost immune to all physical damage, just like the legendary high-dimensional creature - the dragon. He also asked her if she had encountered anything special when she was a child.

At that time, she recalled.

Asked if it counts as the first time she ran away at the age of five and snatched a bottle of milk from a little girl, and the little girl not only gave her the milk but also treated her to a meal?

Then, the old friend no longer thought about finding the answer to her physical abnormality from her memory.

But the dragon as a creature was thus remembered by Huasi.

Now, there is suddenly a clue about this creature that she had searched all over the galaxy for but couldn't find.

Hua Si felt that she could be more persistent this time.

Maybe if she eats a dragon egg, her body from her previous life will return!

"Can you tell me where you found it? Have you seen its parents and other brothers and sisters?" Hua Si pointed at the gray ball inside.

His eyes were so bright that they were frightening.

The short and fat man suddenly had an illusion that as long as he told her the address, this seemingly well-behaved prisoner in front of him would immediately escape from prison and go find her!

He quickly shook his head: "If you had seen me, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stand here properly. This egg was donated by someone."

There are such good people in this world! ?

Just when she was about to ask if she had the chance to meet such a good man, she heard Lin Xuan's voice behind her.

"Are you discussing this unknown creature's egg specimen?"

Hua looked at the short and fat man expressionlessly.

That look seemed to be questioning—Are you kidding me?
The short and fat man felt a chill on his spine and subconsciously opened his mouth to explain: "But the senior who donated it said it was a dragon egg."

Lin Xuan frowned slightly.

"We are researchers and should only speak with data and facts. The words of that senior can only be used as a reference." She then asked Hua Si: "Why do you want to meet Long too?"

Hua Si turned to Lin Xuan and smiled shyly, nodding slightly: "Well, it can be regarded as something that I could not have when I was young."

Lin Xuan: "..."

The short and fat man: “…”

Are ordinary people so ambitious when they are young?
