Chapter 94 Returning to the Provincial City

Tangyuan rushed up and barked at the big fish in the water. The big fish did not show weakness, and kept approaching the river bank, as if it was about to rush ashore.

Fa Gao ran upstream, followed Tang Yuan's movements, and then Tang Yuan closed her mouth and ran away.

Big Yu went up to confront Fa Cake again.

Tangyuan took this opportunity to spare a big bend and ran to the top of the cake.

The couple switched roles in this way, luring the big fish into the river bend step by step, and now they can't get out.

After watching the fast-forward video, Tangning couldn't help being both annoyed and amused, "These two guys are really cunning, they know how to use the trap so quickly, they are not locked up, they are tricked in."

"Dad! This fish took so much effort to make the glutinous rice balls and fat cakes, it must be a good thing!"

This reminded Tangning that the couple were very tricky, it was worth their efforts to kill them, and that big fish might be a good thing.

When it came to the water's edge, the big fish had exhausted its energy and lay on its side in the shallow water.

The glutinous rice balls are jumping eagerly, trying to get closer to it.

"Tangyuan, come back!" Just when Tangyuan heard Tangning's call and turned around to claim credit, the big fish leapt up, bounced more than one meter high, and jumped out of the shallow water. A parrot The hook-like mouth bites towards the glutinous rice balls.

Tangyuan was caught off guard, and was taken aback. Fa cake was eager to protect her husband, and rushed over desperately, biting the tail of the big fish.

The big fish was more than ten meters long. After being bitten on the tail, it no longer cared about the glutinous rice balls, turned around in mid-air, and turned to bite the cake.

Fa Gao hurriedly let go and jumped away. At this moment, the magnetic storm heavy machine gun on the city wall rang out.

"Da Tata—"

The time was extremely short, only one-tenth of a second, but there were already ten bullets, and a line of soil flowers exploded on the ground in front of the cake.

Two of the shots hit the fish on the head leaving two big holes in it.

The big fish fell to the ground with a slap. Although the nerve current was still causing it to wag its tail, Tangning knew that it was over.

"Damn!" Tangning was really taken aback by this, and the fire from the magnetic storm heavy machine gun also alarmed the base's armed forces.

"Boss!" Tang Lili asked on the call channel, "What's going on?"

"It's okay, a big fish appeared in the bay and was dealt with by the automatic defense system."

"I'll take a look!"

After a while, Tang Lili brought the team on duty to the river beach: "The glutinous rice balls and hair cakes are amazing, they can handle such a big fish? Hey, what are they doing?"

The glutinous rice balls used their claws to pull away the skull of the big fish, and licked up the transparent brains of the big fish together with the fat cake.

"That's not true, this fish jumped up by itself," Tangning said, "What kind of fish is this? I've never seen it before."

"You have to ask Uncle Hai, there are a lot of strange things in the river now."

Tangning looked at the rushing river, "The ocean is the origin of life, there are more and more strange things, I don't know the current situation, whether it is ready or not..."

"Not to mention anything else, boss, our base is at least better prepared than those in Yankou, Meizhou, and Zizhou, right? Hey, what are you doing with the glutinous rice balls?"

Tang Ning lowered her head, and saw Tang Yuan pulling something out from the big fish's head, it seemed to be a round bone, or a bead, and then pushed it to Fa Gao's feet. Fa Gao was very satisfied, rubbed her husband, and put Swallowed it in one gulp.

What Tangning and Tang Lili saw was the last bite. When the thing was bitten, Tang Lili didn't feel anything, but Tangning could clearly feel the strong supernatural power overflowing from the thing, and then being absorbed by the cake.

"I rely on..."

……

……

"The inspection is over, and there's nothing wrong with it." Zhang Qiuyi held the inspection report and said to Tangning, "I didn't find the thing you mentioned in its body."

"We saw it with our own eyes! If you don't believe me, ask Erli! These two parents really dare to eat anything!" Tangning put wild flowers picked by the river for Zhang Qiuyi in a vase, and vented her dissatisfaction with the two silly dogs.

"Get off Fagao!" Zhang Qiuyi patted Fagao's head, and Fagao obediently jumped off the medical examination bed, picked up the leather armor, and asked Tangning to put it on.

"There is really no problem, everything is normal." Zhang Qiuyi said to Tangning, "Why don't you just observe and observe?"

"That's the only way to go." Tangning said, "I'm planning to go out recently to fetch some mutated army ant nests."

"Well, Lu Jin has already told me that you don't bring an armed squad?"

"This is a private matter, so it's not good to use public resources." Tangning said, "Why do I feel that the Academy of Sciences doesn't seem to care much about supernatural power research?"

"Then you misunderstood." Zhang Qiuyi said: "Research on supernatural powers is the original intention of the establishment of the two research institutes of medicine and viruses. The Academy of Sciences has never given up, but it has not been reflected in the application."

"Ability is a phenomenon that accompanies the outbreak of a virus. There are different explanations from different scientific perspectives. The current research tends to believe that ability is a special kind of cosmic particle, but this particle overturns the physics of the planet. It's something that hasn't been found in this universe before."

Tangning was confused, "What do you mean? Could it be that there are other universes?"

"You should be familiar with the concept of antimatter, right?" Zhang Qiuyi said, "Why is your bone knife so powerful? It can easily cut through anything. I think it is because of the ability it releases, which has the property of antimatter."

"When antimatter and positive matter meet, they will have the effect of 'destruction' and disappear together. This is how most mutant creatures use their abilities."

"As for why it can be stored and released in special biological tissues composed of positive matter, this is another headache."

"As far as my personal tendency is concerned, I think that this kind of particle is brought into this world by the E virus. The E virus is like a filter membrane between the antimatter world and the positive matter world. The particles of the world filter through and make a huge difference to the planet."

"We know that viruses are quite primitive life forms, and they are also the origin of all life forms in this world. Therefore, soon, individuals that can coexist with such particles will be produced among various organisms. These are mutated organisms."

"Of course, these are just my personal guesses. There is no conclusion yet. Our primary task is to survive, so these studies have not been released to the public. The resources of settlements are first and foremost tilted towards scientific research projects that ensure human survival."

"I hope these secrets can be solved in the future."

"Qiu Yi, you're really amazing." Tangning couldn't help admiring, "Since it's okay to make cakes, then I won't disturb your work. Ah yes, if the fish is okay, let the cafeteria cook it for lunch today!"

"Do it, it's okay." Zhang Qiuyi smiled.

……

……

After the big fish episode, the base basically entered a period of smooth operation. At the end of November, the base's first batch of crops—potatoes—began to be harvested.

But Tang Ning received a notice from Wang Li, asking him and Tang Lujin to go to Shudu to participate in the commendation ceremony for outstanding youths in Datong's 24-year settlement.

The purpose of this conference was to honor outstanding young people who had made significant contributions to the settlement over the past year, including many of Tangning's acquaintances.

The Ministry of the Interior includes Jiang Xiaoyuan, who eradicated the cancer of the self-governing council, and proposed the construction of intercity base stations, expanding the scope of the council's internal affairs management to all cities, rivers and seas.

The Academy of Sciences includes Tang Lujin, the designer of the Pluto Warriors, and Tang Ning, who has always had an outstanding record and established the independent base of the Academy of Sciences in Han'an City.

The military included Ji Jixiao, a hero in the "final battle" of the operation to recover the capital of Shu, and Chen Fanghai, the planner and implementer of the Longquan Mountain Raid.

The 24th year of Datong is undoubtedly a turning point. From top to bottom, the settlement is full of longing and longing for the future, feeling that the better days have come to the door.

Thinking about it, the capital city of Shu has been completely cleaned up. As the Longquan Mountains that separate the east and west of the Shuzhou Basin, the cleanup work is in full swing, gradually penetrating into the core area.

As an important fulcrum of Jiazhou-Zizhou-Han'an in the southern triangle, the Han'an city base has been established.

Whether it is science and technology, military affairs, or internal affairs, gratifying achievements have been made in Datong for 24 years.

The resources of the virtual skynet have doubled, Pluto's armed units have been finalized, several major cities have been connected to the grid, and the Longquan Mountains are no longer an obstacle to development...

The Ministry of the Interior must make a big publicity, so such a grand meeting was held at the end of the year.

Tangning arrived in Shudu on December [-]th. The first thing she did when she returned to the settlement was of course to report to Wang Li at the Academy of Sciences.

Wang Li is not very concerned about the work of Han'an City, and Zhang Qiuyi will send work briefings to the Academy of Sciences every morning and evening. Wang Li already knows the situation of Han'an City well.

Wang Li was more concerned about Tangning's own situation, as well as the confrontation with the "brain worm".

Serving Tangning and Tang Lujin two cups of coffee, Wang Li asked, "Tangning, are you still having that nightmare?"

Since that confrontation, Tangning's mind and memory have been filled with disordered fragments. Until now, she still often wakes up from nightmares.

The contents of those nightmares were basically the same. Tangning dreamed that she had turned into some kind of mutated creature, and was finally eliminated by the cruel survival competition in the jungle.

Those fragments were the scariest memories for mutant creatures. Tangning wondered if they were left behind by the mutant creatures parasitized by the brain worm at the last moment.

Those nightmares not only made Tangning feel distressed, but also made Tangning feel precious.

Because at those final moments, the mutated creatures would often release their stored abilities to make a final fight against the predators. Tangning later discovered that those methods were real, not something she imagined in her dreams.

Although mutated creatures release their abilities through their unique organs, Tangning cannot do this; the way their abilities circulate in their bodies is also different from that of the human body, so Tangning can't use them either.

However, it was of great help to Tangning in exploring the circulation of her own abilities.

Of course, these were Tangning's secrets. He didn't tell anyone, but Zhang Qiuyi could see his cerebral cortex, heartbeat and other physiological characteristics, which meant that Tangning was experiencing a nightmare.

"Yes, occasionally, but I've gotten used to it. It's similar to the normal nightmares I had when I was a child." Tangning smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Director. I was really scared at first, but after Qiu Yi said it, I'm not afraid anymore."

"How about Qiuyi?"

"Qiuyi said that I can sleep in the ecological cabin, that is abnormal, now it is fine, it is normal."

Tang Lujin couldn't help laughing out loud.
