What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Latest website: After dinner, the group returned to the "Smart Internet Breeding Research Base" in Chongyun Village again, returning to the underground conference room where Fang Pingfang and others had a meeting with Xia Libing in the morning.

Lao He first had a meeting with Xia Libing, connected to Xiang Kun remotely, and then confirmed Xia Libing's identity on behalf of the "Abnormal Biological Research Center" and signed several routine agreements.

The next step was to have an overall meeting with Fang Pingfang's team, and give a brief introduction to the official organizational structure of "mutant organism" research, some of the past research results and research plans.

However, the more they listened to Lao He's introduction, the more Fang Pingfang and others discovered that Xia Libing seemed to have more systematic information and research on "mutated organisms" and many details were richer.

This also made them more and more confused, who is the superior with higher authority?

Or maybe Lao He doesn't know much about technical things because he is responsible for administration and management?

And according to Lao He, the next research plan and overall research direction will be hosted and established by Xia Libing. She can represent Xiang Kun or Mr. Liang, and Lao He will represent the "Fei Research Center". Provide necessary supervision and assistance for their research.

It is obvious that the research institutions and research projects they will establish in the future will be under the management of Xia Libing.

Even without Lao He's explicit statement, the fact that "the acquisition of all mutant biological samples needs to be provided by Xia Libing or the research institution she manages" can already reflect her status.

Next, is Xia Libing's vision for the newly established research institution in the future. On the projection screen behind him is a series of planning icons and special effects images, describing the future research directions and ideas, what they need to do, and what are the possibilities. The difficulties encountered were clearly listed.

In some parts, Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui, Mi Qiao and others felt that they had raised relevant questions and ideas after having a meeting with Xia Libing in the morning. Unexpectedly, they saw direct special effects pictures in the evening, which made them I was a little confused, because Xia Libing had been with them in the afternoon. He picked up Lao He in the evening, and then came back for dinner. They were also together. There was no time to make this video - of course, it was impossible to do it in just one afternoon. well done.

Could it be that the questions and assumptions they raised were already thought of by Xia Libing and the team behind him?

Because there had been a whole day of meetings during the day, Xia Libing naturally talked a lot less at night and finished it quickly.

At night, I basically took advantage of Lao He's presence.

The basic organizational framework of the future research institution was proposed. Now the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" will still be self-contained, but Fang Pingfang and others will independently separate from the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" after receiving a certain period of training. Redeploy manpower and form new departments and teams. Let them take charge of different projects and teams according to the different majors they are good at. It is obvious that Xia Libing knows the characteristics of each of them very well.

If they had just met in the morning and Xia Libing had come up with this idea, even with the endorsement of Lao He, the official representative, and even with the authorization of Mr. Liang, the first reaction of Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui and others would be ——Xia Libing and the team behind her seize Mr. Liang's power and seize the research results of "Shenxing Technology".

But after Xia Libing's information output to them, especially after comparing it with Lao He's speech, they understood that Xia Libing and the team behind him had no hard information on the research and mastery of "mutated organisms". , but it is much more than the official "non-research center" and the secret department of "Shenxing Technology".

In this case, Xia Libing's arrangement was "technical support", "research guidance", and "the top students lead the underachievers", and they had nothing to question.

However, Mi Qiao couldn't help but ask: "Lao He, Miss Xia, when will Mr. Liang come back?"

Xia Libing looked at Lao He who was sitting with his arms crossed, obviously preparing to let him answer.

"A-Liang still has things to do, and the time of his return is not yet certain. But don't worry, A-Liang will still work in the newly established organization when he comes back." Lao He said.

According to the communication between Xiang Kun and him, Lao He thought that Xiang Kun wanted Xia Libing to establish an independent investigation and research institution for "mutated organisms" similar to the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", and let Fang Pingfang In the past, their team only represented "Shenxing Technology" for docking and cooperation.

But now it seems... Why does it seem that Xia Libing directly took the secret department of "Shenxing Technology" and treated it as a subordinate department of his own? Moreover, Fang Pingfang, Zhou Rui, and Mi Qiao, the original direct descendants of Aliang from "Shenxing Technology", didn't resist at all and accepted it as a matter of course? Could it be because of his own saying, "Everything is up to Miss Xia's arrangement"?

However, for Lao He, for the "non-research center", and for the officials, in the "post-Ultimate Predator era", the restrictions on in-depth scientific research have been lifted. In the future, research institutions and investigation organizations must be unified and further integrated. and re-edited. It would also be a good thing if the command system and research direction are now unified, making management easier.

In the following days, Lao He stayed in Chongyun Village, following Fang Pingfang's team and accepting Xia Libing's "guidance".

Because they were all staying at the research base in Chongyun Village, it was naturally impossible for them to go back to live in the villa near Wushu Mountain Scenic Area, so they also found a three-story residential house in Chongyun Village and rented it.

Originally, they thought that the living environment here must be much worse than the villa they had lived in for a few months before. But what they didn't expect was that on the first day they moved in, they clearly felt that this village was different.

I don’t know if it’s because the air has higher oxygen content, is fresher, and has less dust. Ye Chong, who had always had rhinitis and had to blow his nose and sneeze every morning, surprisingly recovered. Mi Qiao, who always had trouble falling asleep at night and couldn't get up in the morning and didn't get enough sleep, successfully changed her sleeping habits and woke up feeling refreshed.

This immediate impact made them have a strong interest in Chongyun Village.

Through their observations, they did discover many details that they had not noticed when they passed by here earlier or stayed for a short time, and many unique and unique features.

No matter from the air, temperature, wind, small animals, insects, or from all aspects, Chongyun Village looks like an open space, but in fact it has a "closed, unique orderly rule" that forms its own One body.

So on the fourth day of living in Chongyun Village, before starting Xia Libing's "Teaching Class on Mutated Biology Research", Zhou Rui took the initiative to ask:

"Ms. Xia, when you and Mr. Xiang came to Chongyun Village to build this research base and lived here, was it because there was something special about it?"

Xia Libing replied with an indifferent expression: "It's not because Chongyun Village is special that we come here, but because we are here, Chongyun Village becomes special."

This sentence directly stunned Zhou Rui, Mi Qiao and others, including Lao He. This extremely confident statement would have sounded like bragging or joking to another person, but in Xia Libing's casual, indifferent and very certain tone, it felt natural and unquestionable.

Lao He, in particular, had actually investigated the situation in Chongyun Village before, so he knew that what Xia Libing said was right. After she and Xiang Kun developed here, not only Chongyun Village, but also Tongshi Town had experienced Earth-shaking changes. Many of the special events and "mutated creatures" that occurred in Chongyun Mountain and Wushu Mountain all happened after Xiang Kun and the others arrived.

Zhou Rui originally wanted to ask Xia Libing again, how she and Xiang Kun made this place "special", how did their actual feelings and changes happen, what is the principle and how it works What is the mechanism? But before they could say anything, Xia Libing took out a white thing from his coat pocket and displayed it in front of them, which suddenly attracted all the eyes and attention.

Their first reaction was that Xia Libing had taken something to eat, such as a cream cake, but after a closer look, they found that the three small dots on the white ball were not chocolate embellishments, but two small eyes. And the little beak!

The "white ball" in Xia Libing's hand turned out to be a little bird!

The two girls, Fang Pingfang and Mi Qiao, are both professional technicians in scientific thinking, so when they saw this cute little fat bird with "white balls", they didn't react like exclaiming how cute it was.

But someone still said "Wow", but it was Zhou Rui: "Is it a silver-throated long-tailed tit? Pure white? So rare..."

After encountering "giant birds of prey", he became interested not only in ants, but also in birds. When research and investigation came to a standstill for a while, he passed the time by reading books about birds, so he instinctively Just judge the species based on the characteristics of the "white lump".

Xia Libing said: "It is not an ordinary tit, it is a 'mutated creature'."

This time, it was Fang Pingfang who said in surprise: "**Research sample?"

"No." Xia Libing denied, "It's not a research sample. It's called 'Little Mantou' and it's our partner. I brought it here today to give you a basic idea of ​​'mutated creatures'."

With that said, Xia Libing motioned to Zhou Rui, Fang Pingfang, and Mi Qiao in front of her to get up and move out of the way, and then gently threw the fat white bird in her hand in that direction.

The body of the little white bird suddenly shrank into a long and narrow spindle shape, then suddenly accelerated and shot forward. In the blink of an eye, it punched a big hole in the table in front of it, and even lifted up a layer of floor tiles.

The little white bird seemed to be a little dizzy from the impact. It bounced on the ground a few times and returned to its appearance as a small white fat ball. It sat on the ground and shook its little head, then flapped its wings and flew back to Xia Libing's shoulder. Squatting down, it looks cute and harmless, but the big hole on the table and the mess on the ground illustrate its terrifying power.

"Although you have seen some 'mutated creatures' before, due to the limited types of contact, you still have some cognitive limitations on the characteristics of 'mutated creatures'. The most important thing about contacting 'mutated creatures' is Just stop judging its danger and attack power based on its size and appearance. Unlike traditional creatures, the appearance characteristics it displays are likely to be completely different from its actual characteristics." Xia Libingjie said.

Fang Pingfang and others looked at the marks on the ground and then at the white bird, all thinking deeply.

But "Little Steamed Bun" just tilted her head slightly, she was quiet, cute, and well-behaved. If it were "Jin Shining" standing on her shoulders at this time, she would definitely chirp twice arrogantly to show her pride.

…

After dinner in Tongshi Town in the evening, Lao He did not go back to Chongyun Village with Xia Libing, Fang Pingfang and the others. Instead, he strolled around the pedestrian street for a while and found a tea shop to drink tea.

He had noticed this store when he came to town to eat several times before, but he didn't have time to go in. Today Xia Libing was going to discuss some newly purchased equipment with Fang Pingfang and the others. He didn't understand and there was no need to pay attention, so I have some time to indulge in tea addiction.

When he entered, there was already a lean and energetic middle-aged man sitting in front of the beautiful female boss in the tea shop, drinking tea.

He knew that middle-aged man. After Mr. Liang introduced Xiang Kun to him through video connection, he investigated Xiang Kun. In addition to Xia Libing, Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, Zhang Qian, Chang Bin, and Liu Chuang In addition to others, Qi Haoguo, Liu Feibao, Liu Gaoshang, Liu Zhengyi, Liu Caifu, Chu Xiuwen and others who had contact in Chongyun Village also knew about it.

The thin middle-aged man in the tea shop at this time is Chu Xiuwen.

After Lao He entered the store, he just nodded politely to Chu Xiuwen. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he sat down, Chu Xiuwen said, "Are you Mr. Xiang's customer? Are you Lao He?"

Lao He was stunned for a moment. He knew Chu Xiuwen because he secretly investigated Xiang Kun, so it was normal, but how did Chu Xiuwen know him?

Chu Xiuwen obviously saw his doubts and smiled: "I often go to Chongyun Village to chat with Liu Caifu, the deputy director of the village, so I know that you are training with Dr. Xia with a group of employees. The house you live in is Director Liu. I'm a relative of this family. Haha, and Dr. Xia's brother is my partner, so naturally I can hear a little bit about Dr. Xia's research base. By the way, my name is Chu Xiuwen, you can just call me Xiao Chu."

With this explanation, Lao He was relieved. That's right, what they keep secret is the research content inside the research base. Naturally, their existence cannot be kept secret outside. Chongyun Village is not a closed research institute.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chu. I'm glad to meet you." Lao He said with a smile.

Chu Xiuwen smiled and said: "Farewell, Mr. Chu, our situation here sounds very shabby, haha, call me Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu ha. Lao He, how do you feel about living in Chongyun Village?"

"It's good. Chongyun Village is a good place and very suitable for living." Old He said with a smile.

"That's true." Chu Xiuwen nodded, and then sighed pointedly: "Chongyun Village has changed a lot in the past year... Lao He, I heard that you and Dr. Fang used to be in Citong's research institution. work?"

"Dr. Fang and the others are from another unit." Lao He said vaguely.

Chu Xiuwen waited for the beautiful female boss to pour a cup of tea for Lao He before asking again: "How did Lao He and Mr. Xiang meet?"

Lao He said: "We have common friends. By the way, Xiao Chu, do you know Qi Haoguo?"

"Of course, Lao He also knows Mr. Qi?"

"Haha, I've talked to him. He has some unique views on Tongshi Town, Chongyun Village..." When Lao He was investigating Xiang Kun before, he even went to see Qi Haoguo, who was already serving his sentence, in person, and with him Chatted briefly. This person gave him a very special feeling. Even though he was behind bars, he still had a strong sense of confidence and certainty. He was very sure that this feeling must come from Xiang Kun.

"Yes, he has some very special feelings, not so much about Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village, but about... Haha, maybe Lao He knows?" Chu Xiu said with deep meaning.

Lao He also became interested and chatted with Chu Xiuwen while drinking tea.

Both of them felt that the other party had information that they did not know, so they both tried to use the least information to find out what the other party knew.

News about abnormal weather conditions around the world during this period was being broadcast on TV. Chu Xiuwen took advantage of the situation and said: "Old He, have you noticed that the temperature difference in Chongyun Village is much smaller than that in the town, and it is neither cold nor hot, very comfortable, just like It’s like the central air conditioning is on.”

"Yes, it stands to reason that the temperature difference in the mountains should be greater. Xiao Chu, is this a change only this year? Is it related to Mr. Xiang's research base?" Lao He said.

Just as he was talking, someone walked into the tea shop, temporarily stopping the conversation between the two.

Lao He glanced at the young man who walked into the store. He looked like a very energetic young man in his early twenties.

Do young people nowadays also like drinking tea?

But why does this young man look familiar?
