After hearing the Rat King's words, Wei Yanwu was indeed somewhat tempted.

His gaze drifted aimlessly towards the sky.

Just as the Rat King said, the moon is very bright today, and it's almost a full moon.

The moonlight is indeed beautiful.

It's suitable to have a little wine.

Besides, it's been a long time since I've gotten together with the Rat King for a few drinks. I think Wen Yue will understand, right?

Just as Wei Yanwu was thinking this, he noticed the shadow slowly drifting down in the night sky.

what is that?

Wei Yanwu looked over there.

Oh, it's Qintianling...

what?

It's Qintianling!

Wei Yanwu's gaze suddenly cleared, and became even more resolute.

"I absolutely won't drink it!"

...

After hovering in the air for a while, Qin Tianling, who was suspended from the pilot by a grappling hook, finally landed on the ground.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuxia and Chen Huijie were not idle either. After coming down from the city wall and leaving the mobile city, they waited near the landing site.

The moment the pilot landed, Chen Huijie handcuffed him and held him to the ground.

“Что за чёрт!

I'm speechless... I'll tell you anything you want to know, just don't torture me!

The pilot, who was handcuffed, spoke in great fear.

Damn it, with such a peerless master by his side, how could he not be afraid!?

But whether he is imprisoned or used, he must survive!

"So they really are from Ursus?"

Lin Yuxia's voice was filled with suppressed anger as she stared at the pilot, her delicate brows furrowed.

"Tsk, they actually use the slums of Lungmen as a testing ground. What do they value human life?"

Are those infected people and normal people in the slums not considered human beings in their eyes?

There must be an explanation for this!

Just then, Qin Tianling's voice rang out, tinged with doubt.

"Ursus?"

Lin Yuxia turned her head to look.

Qin Tianling stared at the air in front of him for a long time. After scratching his head, which felt a little itchy, he finally asked with some doubt.

"If it's from Ursus, then why does it say 'High-altitude aircraft of the Columbia Evolution Corridor Research Institute' on this side of my backpack?"

"Colombia?"

"Evolution Corridor Research Institute?"

Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia immediately looked at the pilot they had captured.

The pilot looked up sharply the moment those two gazes locked onto him, staring intently at Qin Tianling.

The expression on his face was one of disbelief and horror.

His mind, at this moment, was filled with one thought, as if it had crashed:

Holy crap, box!

.....

Chapter 205, Exusiai, I'm going to kill you!

"Let me tell you, the Evolution Corridor Research Institute was originally called the Corridor Research Institute, but it was changed to this name after a tasteless director took over."

I don't know why he insisted on adding "evolution" at the beginning to emphasize this point; it's utterly tasteless.

Perhaps intimidated by Qin Tianling once again, the pilot didn't even wait for Chen Huijie and the others to begin interrogation. On the way back to the Guard Bureau, he started leaking information.

Nonsense! If there's a powerful individual who can ride a missile to 5,000 meters in the air, nearly split a spacecraft in two with a single strike, and then accurately open your box upon landing, who wouldn't be afraid?!

He was so proactive simply because he desperately wanted to live.

In the police car returning to Longmen, Chen Huijie drove, Lin Yuxia sat in the passenger seat, and Qin Tianling sat next to the unlucky pilot, completely ignoring what the pilot was saying, and just quietly looking out the window.

This might also be the reason why the pilot kept exploding things.

— Just the fact that Qin Tianling was sitting here gave him more than ten times the sense of oppression that Chen Huijie, a senior superintendent of the Guard Bureau, had!

But to be honest,

Qin Tianling didn't listen to what the pilot was saying at all.

He just didn't find the plot very appealing, and he wanted to skip it.

Unfortunately, I didn't bring a brick today, so I can't give myself a good whack. Let's skip the part before we get to the Penguin Logistics dormitory.

So he only listened to half of what he heard and answered the other half.

He kept some things he cared about, and ignored the rest.

—Anyway, Chen Huijie has a recording.

"Speak the key."

Lin Yuxia, who was in the passenger seat, spoke up.

What is all this about?

A bunch of random things, completely unrelated to the beastification disease, kept popping up.

The pilot didn't find what he was saying annoying, but she found it irritating!

She didn't want to hear gossip about the researchers' love triangle or how the new director had such low taste!

"Oh, okay, that's the important point."

The key point is... oh, the Evolution Corridor Research Institute is a research institute specializing in biological evolution.

More accurately, it's about human evolution.

The pilot hesitated for a moment before continuing to leak information, avoiding any gossip.

"Human evolution?"

Lin Yuxia frowned in disgust again.

She thought of those beast-like patients.

You call those patients with bestiality disease "human evolution"?

That savage, beast-like mentality—you call that evolution!

"Yes, human evolution. The general idea is to actively trigger positive evolution in the human body to make Colombian soldiers more physically robust, or to make elite soldiers' individual combat capabilities even more outstanding."

The institute's researchers, through past experimental results and data, combined with some research data obtained from Colombian institutes in Bolivar,

The Evolution Corridor Research Institute has reached a conclusion—Originium appears to be the key to evolution.

At this point, the pilot gave a wry smile.

"Isn't that incredible?"

I was startled too.

However, according to archaeological records, our various races were not like this in ancient times. It was the Originium we depend on for survival that gradually changed us.

More accurately, it was the Originium that weakened our originally formidable abilities.

In ancient Terra, there existed a powerful race called the Gods, who possessed legendary and incredible abilities far surpassing those of us modern humans.

Therefore, the research institute specifically focused on Originium, specifically those who had the deepest contact with Originium and whose bodies were most affected by it.

On Terra, nothing is more dangerous than the infected.

"So you've targeted the infected people in the Lungmen slums?"

So you're really using the Lungmen slums as a testing ground again!

Lin Yuxia's words made no attempt to conceal her anger.

She suddenly understood everything.

This kind of thing probably requires long-term medication to alter the body with Originium, and the incubation period for this change is very long; it only erupts all at once after reaching the critical point.

If they want to conduct experiments, they must make infected people take the same drug continuously, and for a long period of time!

No wonder they mixed medicines with contraband... No wonder they chose the slums...

Those infected are the patients most discriminated against by Terra.

It is especially painful for those who were normal in the first half of their lives but became infected in the second half.

These addictive illicit substances are the best way for them to forget the pain of reality!

What's even more unfortunate is that... the infected people in Lungmen are mainly concentrated in the slums!

This is a slum that even the Royal Guard patrols don't come into, and it's teeming with all sorts of shady characters from the underworld!

"Then why did you deliberately speak Ursus language just now?"

"Are you trying to sow discord between Lungmen and Ursus, and direct our anger towards Ursus?!"

Yes, that's true.

After all, the new director had given a death order:

Colombian is not allowed.

But I just used to swear in Ursus.

"Habit?"

"Before coming to Lungmen, we were cooperating with a lord in Ursus. The lord provided free infected individuals in exchange for sharing some of Columbia's latest technology and his own latest research with this Ursus lord."

But his good fortune didn't last long; the lord was assassinated by his daughter, who had become infected.

"!"

Chen Huijie, who was driving, looked up alertly and glanced at the pilot's figure in the rearview mirror.

She really wanted to ask something.

But after thinking about it, she decided to wait until later to talk to the Royal Guard.

"Because of territorial issues, our research institute left that place."

Then he traveled around the entire country of Ursus for several years.

After all, they don't treat infected people as human beings, so obtaining research materials is actually a very easy thing for them.

However, those Ursus lords had too big an appetite; the research institute usually only conducted short-term transactions.

Finally, for some reason, the director angered an Ursus lord, so we escaped from Ursus territory.

In order to keep the research progress going, the director turned his attention to the slums of Lungmen.

"In short, it was this long period of living in Ursus, this long-term Ursus-speaking environment, that made me, and even the people in the research institute, accustomed to communicating in Ursus."

At this point, the pilot seemed to remember something and continued speaking.

"Oh, do you guys remember that group of people who robbed a bank?"

"You mean...those robbers were also deliberately disguised as Ursus people?"

It was Chen Huijie who spoke.
