Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Lu Mingfei was stunned when he drove to the address of the suburban building that Su Enxi had sent him.

It was just a small white building squeezed in the corner of an emerging industrial park, but it was surrounded by yellow cordon tape. The entrance was guarded by armed guards, but the office workers passing by turned a blind eye, as if they were already accustomed to the situation here.

Lu Mingfei cast a puzzled look at Ling who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"We have deep cooperation with the local hybrids, and they have a certain influence in the military and political circles." Ling said.

"So the top government officials actually know about the existence of the dragon race or the hybrid race?"

“In most governments, there are some special groups of ordinary people who can spy on our world in their own way. The heads of any mixed-race organization in the world know this. The wealth of the dark world and the wealth of the light world are simultaneously gathered into the pockets of two groups of people through two similar channels. All those who remain silent are the vested interests, and all those who cannot see the truth are the bottom of the society that are being harvested. It’s just that everyone is tacitly in agreement and quietly steals the rights of this world without making a fuss. Otherwise, how to rationally utilize the two types of clean energy, elements and words, will become the main topic of discussion at the United Nations New and Renewable Energy Conference.” Zero acknowledged Lu Mingfei’s problem.

Lu Mingfei was silent.

The wipers on the front windshield of the Rolls-Royce Phantom swayed back and forth, scraping away the falling snow. The rustling sound came from all directions, drowning out the small space.

"Is the principal also a vested interest?" he asked after a moment.

"Of course. Otherwise, how could he maintain such a luxurious lifestyle without any property?" Zero asked. "It's the same with the Romanov family who fought in and out of the Moscow financial world. We are all using the bones and blood of ordinary people to build our own towers of Babel, but this method is unnoticeable because in modern society we have another weapon that is far more useful than violence and oppression. The name of that weapon is capital."

"Some people put in twelve points of work, but in the end they only get one point in return, and the remaining eleven points are plundered by capital. This is why you see that mixed-bloods never engage in production but are always glamorous and beautiful." Zero coldly said the truth that no one in this world is willing to mention.

"I used to think that people like Caesar and Chu Zihang were typical class enemies, and even you are one of them." Lu Mingfei frowned, "It turns out that I am also a capitalist."

"Your president's scholarship, the money the college allocates to you every year, and the Vacheron Constantin watch I gave you, after all, are all products of plunder." Ling nodded. She unbuckled her seat belt but did not get out of the car. She turned her head and tilted it to look at Lu Mingfei.

"Having said that, I have felt what it's like to be a class enemy... If there is a revolution in the future, I won't be hung on the street lamp like you guys, right?"

"No, you are at best a lackey of the capitalists. According to tradition, you will be shot at most."

“It would be better to hang it on the street lamp…” Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Open the umbrella, get out of the car, and pick me up." Ling said lightly. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess was really a tsundere girl. She had to ask someone to open the door when she got out of the car.

However, he still obediently opened the umbrella and got out of the car. He came to Zero's side and opened the car door for her, holding the top of the door frame with one hand to prevent her from hitting her head.

"Let's go, Su Enxi said that I'm the only one who can handle this matter, so if we handle it quickly, maybe we can go out and have lunch." Lu Mingfei was about to turn around, but he felt his clothes being pulled.

He lowered his head and saw Zero leaning very close to him, looking up at his eyes coldly.

In this situation, the girl actually took another step forward, and then she completely snuggled into Lu Mingfei's arms. At this moment, Lu Mingfei suddenly smelled the cold fragrance on the girl's hair, which reminded him of some of the loneliest wild flowers growing in the primeval forests of Siberia.

"Don't forget how you once resisted fate. Never stop. No matter who forces you or what, don't stop. Your life must be in your own hands." Ling spoke in Lu Mingfei's ear in a very low and light voice, like a breeze brushing his hair.

Lu Mingfei uttered "oh" twice in a daze, and when he came to his senses, Ling had already left the range of the umbrella and walked into the snow alone. The flying snow quickly piled up on her slender shoulders, and the steam coming out of her mouth turned into white mist.

——When Zero walked in front of the small white building, the guard obviously recognized her. He saluted her with a standard military salute and then stepped aside to make way for her.

Lu Mingfei followed the princess as she passed by those burly men with guns in a daze, and asked in a low voice: "Your power is so huge? You can even have soldiers guarding the door?"

"They're not guarding our door, they're guarding this building." Ling said, "The boss rented a laboratory and a cold storage in here, and the rest of the area belongs to the government. Even our partners in China can't really mobilize the army, so they can only use this form to get the army's protection."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.

After passing through a metal door with fingerprint and iris authentication, they entered a corridor with stainless steel reinforced walls and steel plates on the ground. On both sides of the corridor were white rounded metal airtight doors with their respective numbers affixed to them.

"It looks like this should be some confidential research room, right?"

"It's not a secret. It's mainly about doing some genetic experiments on monkeys." Ling said.

"We're here." She stopped in front of an airtight door. Lu Mingfei looked up and saw the Chinese number "Xun" pasted above the door. Lu Mingfei knew that this word was one of the eight trigrams.

"I know that this kind of rounded-corner airtight door is usually used in bank vaults and cannot be blown open even with TNT. A laboratory that can use this kind of thing cannot be an ordinary genetic research laboratory," said Lu Mingfei.

Zero didn't say anything, but just took out a black card from his pocket and waved it on the identifier on the right side of the airtight door. The door immediately began to release the high-pressure gas in the valve and made a sharp whistle at the same time.

"Countries around the world are secretly studying the dragon subspecies they captured. The research lab is focusing on how to edit the excellent expression of the genes of those dragon subspecies into monkeys." Zero said, "Have you seen Spider-Man?"

"Why did the topic suddenly turn to such a cheerful movie?"

"The Americans created something similar in Area 51, but they soon died of genetic diseases. I think what this laboratory is doing should be similar to what the Americans are doing." Zero said lightly.

After the high-pressure gas was released, the words "Please wait" appeared on the display screen in the center of the airtight door. Then, more than a dozen safety pins made a light clicking sound at the same time. The super-thick alloy door with gears engaged separated up and down, and the girl in a mink coat stood gracefully behind it.

"The boss said you would hesitate for a long time, so I thought you would come in the evening." Su Enxi said, but unexpectedly she was not the capable and cold career woman that Lu Mingfei had imagined. She was also very different from the image of an old mother in Takama-ga-hara. Apart from the mink coat with a somewhat northeastern style, she was clearly a girl next door, not aggressive. Although she was pretty and graceful and could be considered a beauty, she seemed only above average in front of Jude Mai and Zero.

A gust of cold air blew out from the deeper space, and Su Enxi shuddered violently. "Did you leave the cold storage door open when you came out?" Ling frowned.

Su Enxi was horrified: "Really? I was so busy with you guys that I forgot to close the door!"

The three of them hurried inside and rushed into the cold storage a moment later. It was completely empty except for a semi-cylindrical quartz glass cabin placed in the center of the warehouse.

Lu Mingfei closed the door with his backhand. The extreme temperature of more than ten degrees below zero was a bit unbearable for him, but he still approached the container cautiously.

The ice vapor in the quartz glass rolled like fog on the sea, and the girl's pale face and beautiful naked body were vaguely visible in the fog.

She had ankle-length black hair, but at this moment those strands were also frozen.

Lu Mingfei ignored the chill that penetrated into his bones from the glass surface and put his face against it, quietly listening to the faint sounds in the quartz cabin.

"Don't worry, the lab next door has been closely monitoring Long Legs' vital signs. Even in the ultra-low temperature of minus fifty degrees, her physical condition remains good." Su Enxi said, "In fact, it's too good. The ancient dragon serum has been wreaking havoc in her body for too long. Because the injection time exceeded four hours, the locking agent has lost its effect. Long Legs is going further and further on the road to dragonization, and is almost degenerating into Deadpool."

As expected, Lu Mingfei heard the faint breathing sound and the almost imperceptible but relatively steady heartbeat coming from under the quartz glass.

"Sister Mai and Eri's situations are a bit similar." Lu Mingfei looked up at Ling.

The dragon's blood is eroding her body, and this process is irreversible. The stronger she becomes, the weaker she becomes, until she finally completely degenerates into Deadpool.

"We can't find a third-generation or second-generation species in the incubation state to bleed in a short period of time and use the golden holy juice to heal her." Ling leaned down and stared at his companion in the mist. There was no emotion in his platinum pupils.

"I remember Lu Mingze told me that you have a laboratory that specializes in researching evolutionary drugs. The products are more abundant than Herzog's Ghost Clan, and they are very safe. Why don't you use that stuff?"

"Come on, do you think it's ibuprofen capsules? It's safe. So far, there have been only two successful cases of evolutionary drugs sold by us." Su Enxi rolled her eyes.

"You still sell this thing?" Lu Mingfei was shocked.

"Do you think those dragon blood explorers in the primitive jungles of South America always go into the dragon tomb alone like such a hero?" Su Enxi said.

Lu Mingfei was silent for two seconds: "How much did you sell?"

"Only a few." Su Enxi shook her head. "In fact, Long Legs often uses that stuff. Just like antibiotics, humans also have resistance to evolution drugs. Under the circumstances at that time, even if she injected evolution drugs, she couldn't bring you back from the pursuit of the dragon-shaped immortals, so she could only make the worst choice."

The cold storage fell into an eerie silence for a moment. Red lights flashed on the surveillance cameras in the four corners. Lu Mingfei realized that everything he did and said was being watched in great detail by someone or a group of people.

"But dragon genetics is not my elective course at Kassel College, and I know nothing about nursing and recovery. As for the Word Spirit... To be honest, I'm not sure if it can work for Sister Mai's current condition, and it may even make the situation worse." Lu Mingfei sighed. Although he knew that Lu Mingze insisted on asking him to do this because he wanted to get something from him, the problem now was that he had no ability to save Jiude Mai at this moment.

Ling also cast a slightly doubtful look at Su Enxi. It was obvious that during the time she was with Lu Mingfei, she had not been able to get in touch with her team much, nor did she receive any instructions from her boss.

She said those words to Lu Mingfei just now because she felt that the boss was plotting something.

"I think you must still remember that Changtui sneaked into the Trieste when the academy was carrying out Operation Jiyuan, and carried out that mission with Caesar and Chu Zihang." Su Enxi looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and put one hand on the quartz glass.

The naked body of the beauty in the mist is vaguely covered with dense green scales, which is eerie and has an enchanting beauty.

Lu Mingfei felt alarmed.

Operation Gekko explored the ancient divine kingdom of Takama-ga-hara, located deep in the Japan Trench and about to slide into magma. It was because of that exploration that Izanagi, the Yamata-no-No-Ryotai, who was destined to sink into the magma never to return in the following Fukushima earthquake, was awakened.

At the same time, the academy also relied on the video materials brought back by Caesar and Chu Zihang to gain a deeper understanding of the ancient era of the Two Kings.

But such a city was destined to be destroyed, with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of ancient wronged souls wandering in the city. Lu Mingfei always felt that he should not mention it, as if as long as he mentioned it, those wronged souls would return to this world again.

"Jiude Mai once used purification medicine there and evolved her own Word Spirit from the Dark Illumination to the Vajra Realm. Then she briefly left the Trieste and walked underwater under the Abyss. She even dived into the Lenin that sank that year." Su Enxi said slowly.

All the muscles in Lu Mingfei's body were tense.

Zero's eyes slowly opened wide.

"What did she take out of there?" Lu Mingfei had actually guessed the answer, but he still couldn't help asking. Only when he heard it from Su Enxi's mouth did his guess become confirmed.

"It's... the cocoon of a black snake, right?" Zero said lightly.

"She is indeed his favorite little cotton-padded jacket. The mistress is so accurate in her guessing." Su Enxi reached out to rub Ling's head, as if she was rubbing a kitten. Ling did not dodge, and the tacit understanding between the two was as smooth as flowing water.

"But I remember that cocoon was dead." Lu Mingfei said slowly, but his thoughts were racing.

"Brother, do you really think your words are salvation?" The boy's voice sounded from behind Lu Mingfei. He turned back suddenly, and the speed at which the short arc knife was unsheathed was even faster than his thinking. The blade had already cut through the dreamy shadow of the boy behind him.
