What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Mi Qiao has always been a little puzzled, why Mr. Mingmingliang knows a lot about the characteristics of those mutant creatures, but he didn't tell the people who work in the secret department of "Shenxing Technology", and didn't let them know enough information.

If it is said that the general staff do not have a high level of confidentiality, and they are not allowed to know, then there is something to be said.

But Dr. Fang Pingfang, as well as other people in this team, have a very high level of confidentiality. In particular, Dr. Fang Pingfang, and Li Shiqi, who is in charge of security, both went to the Qinling no-man's land to perform tasks before, and even served as the person in charge. They also brought out the rabbit wood carving and other related items. Dr. Fang even presided over the detection and analysis of those things, and discovered the abnormality caused by the rabbit wood carving on the 18th, and closed the underground laboratory in time.

And now, this team is also led by Dr. Fang. Mr. Liang has said many times that Dr. Fang can control the direction and make his own decisions. Moreover, the entire team has seen the two mutated creatures with their own eyes, and has already received enough information. It seems that Mr. Liang should have a lot of trust in them.

It stands to reason that Mr. Liang should at least inform Dr. Fang of some information about the characteristics of mutant creatures. Otherwise, how would she make a decision, and how would she decide the direction of the investigation?

In fact, Mi Qiao had contacted Mr. Liang in private two days ago and asked about this matter.

In fact, she has asked similar questions many times before, why do the staff in the secret department and the researchers in the laboratory seem to know very little about mutant creatures, and they don't even know what their purpose is. What is their research direction.

But Mr. Liang did not give a direct answer to her question.

So she asked Mr. Liang if she could tell Dr. Fang or other team members about the characteristics of some mutant creatures she knew. Mr. Liang's answer was "it's up to you to decide according to the situation."

This confused her very much, and she was a little unclear about Mr. Liang's intentions.

So in the past two days, she has been thinking about whether to tell Dr. Fang and the others, to what extent, and what is the reason for Mr. Liang's attitude.

But it wasn't until just now, after listening to the conversation between Dr. Fang and Mr. Liang, that she finally made a decision.

After entering the room, Dr. Fang asked her to sit down first, poured her a cup of hot drink, then sat down in front of her, and asked her if she had anything to say.

Looking at the steaming cup of instant coffee in her hand, Mi Qiao was in a daze for a while, recalling that the night she first arrived here, she also talked in Dr. Fang's room, and asked Dr. Fang to tell her what happened in Qinling no-man's land What happened, as well as the abnormal situation in An Tiezhen's laboratory, and the uniqueness of the rabbit wood carving.

At that time, Dr. Fang also poured her a cup of hot drink, which I remember was hot milk.

And that night, she dreamed of the conversation with Dr. Fang, and also dreamed of Guo Tianxiang.

In the dream, Guo Tian asked her for help and said, "Be careful, Mr. Liang".

She knew that the dream was just a dream, it had nothing to do with reality, and it didn't mean anything, and she never dreamed of Guo Tianxiang again after that, but for some reason, during this period of time, she always thought of that dream, and thought of the dream in the dream. That sentence.

She also didn't know whether her decision to tell Dr. Fang some information was affected by that dream.

"Dr. Fang, for the two creatures we are investigating now,

I actually know some related information..." Mi Qiao said after considering his words.

Fang Pingfang didn't seem to be surprised by her words, but after she nodded, she said first: "Does what you told me comply with the relevant provisions of the confidentiality agreement? Please ask Mr. Liang for instructions first, to be sure?"

Mi Qiao said, "No, I've already asked before. What Mr. Liang means is that I can decide for myself."

Fang Pingfang nodded: "Then tell me."

"If the two creatures we are investigating and looking for are the kind of creatures I think...then, they should not be a new species from the beginning, and they may not be what they are now, but ordinary common, even common creatures. For example, that 'giant bird of prey' might have been just an ordinary bird."

"You mean, the characteristics displayed by the 'giant raptor' and the 'invisible insect' are the result of mutation?" Fang Pingfang asked, and she had actually considered this possibility.

Mi Qiao said: "If they are the kind of creatures I think... well, from the current point of view, I think they are. Then, they should have several characteristics, one is blood sucking, no matter what they are originally feeding habits, after mutation, will use the blood of other organisms as the main food;

"The second is that their body tissues will quickly lose their activity after leaving the body, and then undergo a drastic change, turning into a fixed special fine powder object, which is easy to dissipate in the air and is not easy to be caught by the naked eye, unlike ordinary Biological body tissue will have a relatively slow decomposition process;

"The third is that mutated creatures have the instinct or need to hunt and prey on each other. And some mutated creatures, after mutating, may be keen on the blood of the same kind... So I speculate that the 'invisible insect', There is a high probability that it is mutated from a certain type of ant;

"The fourth is that this mutation may strengthen the original characteristics of certain creatures, such as the 'giant raptor' becoming larger, with stronger flying abilities, stronger sensory abilities, etc., and it may also make them more exotic. abilities, such as invisibility, to adapt to the environment."

While Mi Qiao was talking, Fang Pingfang kept listening, thinking while listening.

After Mi Qiao finished speaking, Fang Pingfang got up and took a few steps in the room to digest the information.

She did not question the authenticity of the information, because Mi Qiao had no motive to lie to her, and many of the information were consistent with the phenomena she actually observed, which could explain many doubts that could not be answered before.

She also didn't question why Mi Qiao didn't tell these key information until now, although it was obvious that Mi Qiao didn't just learn this information.

She is very clear that due to the particularity of the work she is doing now, many things can only be found by herself. Many questions, if others don't tell you, then you will not get any answer if you ask "why", just like Mr. Liang's weird attitude towards their team.

"It came from a mutation of ordinary creatures. Does that mean...humans can also have that kind of mutation?" Fang Pingfang stopped pacing in the room and asked Mi Qiao.

"Yes." Mi Qiao replied briefly.

This question made Mi Qiao think of Guo Tianxiang, and Fang Pingfang thought of the footprints, the cave, and the wooden rabbit sculpture found in the Qinling no-man's land.

But at the same time, both of them thought of another person who might be involved in the mutation—Mr. Liang.

However, they all tacitly did not go further on this topic.

Fang Pingfang thought for a while, and said: "I think I know the direction of our investigation. Our focus should be on the 'mutation' of those creatures, their 'cause of mutation', 'mutation process', And other relevant information, rather than themselves. I think this is also the direction Mr. Liang wants us to investigate."

Mi Qiao nodded: "I agree too."

Fang Pingfang said: "After hearing what you said, I suddenly had a guess. Could it be that on the night of the 20th, in that mountainous area, besides 'giant raptor' and 'invisible insect', there was a third one that we didn't investigate? It is a known mutant creature. It may want to hunt and kill the "giant raptor", but it has noticed the existence of the drone and has scruples about us, so it wants to use stones to startle the raptor and let it leave our surveillance. As for why it was not discovered by the drone, it is likely that it has other "invisible" means, just like the mutated "invisible insect" that cannot be detected by the naked eye, and the "third mutated creature" may even have infrared thermal imaging. There are ways to avoid radar detection.”

Mi Qiao nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, at that time, there was a mutant creature that could fly and had a stronger 'invisibility' ability, and flew to our drone with that stone, and then put Throwing rocks right next to the 'Giant Bird of Prey' to startle it and make it spot the drone?"

Fang Pingfang said: "This is my guess, but this can indeed explain why the stone fell from that position and on that trajectory. Next, the main directions of our investigation are 'invisible insects' and 'giant raptors'. 'The reason and process of the variation, and verify this conjecture."

...

After sending Lao Xia away after lunch, Xiang Kun spent the whole afternoon processing ingredients, preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and chatting with his parents.

However, after knowing that Xiang Kun would make something to eat at night and take it to the hospital to make supper for Xia Libing on duty, my mother went directly to find a relationship, went to a friend of hers who was in the water production business, and got a fresh one. Tai O Long, and some other expensive seafood.

Today is New Year's Eve, so it is conceivable that even if it is a friendly price, the price will not be so low.

In Xiang Kun's memory, in the past 30 years, only on the day when he was admitted to university and received the admission letter, his mother bought a lobster for him to eat. Small one.

He was a little surprised that his mother, who had always been frugal, would suddenly be so proud and buy so many seafood ingredients at a high price on New Year's Eve.

"How about it, do you know how to make it? This thing is so expensive, even more expensive than your mother's mobile phone, so be careful and don't waste it..." After Lobster Lobster came back, Xiang's mother leaned next to Xiang Kun. Stop nagging.

Xiang Kun simply spread his hands and stepped aside: "Then I won't do it, you come."

"Hey? Didn't you say that you did it? You do what you did. Didn't Xiaoxia say that she likes the dishes you made? You do it!" Xiang Ma said, waving her hands.

Xiang Kun said helplessly, "Old...Xiao Xia didn't say that she likes to eat lobster."

"I asked at noon, and she said she likes seafood."

"At that time, she was eating shrimp. If you asked her if she liked seafood, of course she said she loved it." Xiang Kun said, "Mom, what do you want to eat, sashimi, steamed, and some vermicelli?"

"What kind of thorn is it? Eat it when it's cooked! Hey, anyway, you can make whatever you think Xiao Xia likes to eat." Xiang Ma said.

"What do you mean... that Dong Xingban, that octopus, and that crab are all for Xiao Xia?"

"That's right." Xiang Ma replied as a matter of course.

Xiang Kun resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Mom, did you treat her like a pig? There's so much, she can't finish it, it's still supper... Are you asking me to go directly to the Third Courtyard to set a table for her?"

He stared at his mother: "Can't you do the same?"

"All right, make a little of the same, then let's eat the rest, what flavor do you and dad want to eat?"

Although he had already made lobster when he went to Tang Baona's house for the Christmas dinner last time, he had studied the recipe for a long time beforehand, and the taste of it was well received.

But from Xiang Kun's own point of view, he doesn't like to cook this kind of dishes very much. The fresh Aolong itself has a good taste and texture, leaving little room for him to play and season and cook in a targeted manner. There is not much room for him to display. If you use too much seasoning and too complicated cooking methods, it will feel a bit wasteful and a waste of ingredients.

Of course, the most important thing is that he did not conduct too much research on this ingredient, did not try and summarize too much, and established a cognitive model that was not comprehensive enough.

In the end, Xiang Kun disposed of half of the high-priced seafood bought by his mother, and ate them in the pot with his parents in the evening, and put the rest of it away for later use, and cooked it before he went to find Lao Xia.

He had thought about whether to make lobster and fish dumplings, but after considering the texture and taste of these ingredients, as well as the way and experience of eating dumplings, he felt that it would be a bit wasteful to do so, so he planned to make lobster vermicelli and Bring the fish soup.

At six o'clock, before dinner, Xiang Kun's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a video request from Little Apple.

Although Little Apple couldn't see with his eyes, since he was pulled into the group with Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er, and Lao Xia by Xiang Kun, he is now very proficient in video calls, especially with Tang Baona.

The big UP master of station B often guides Little Apple to sing through connected videos. "You give love a bad name", which I sang with Little Apple before, was sent to station B by Tang Baona, and the response was quite good. Tang Baona is already discussing with Little Apple whether to help her open her own account and post some solo videos.

But at this time, what was seen in the video was not Little Apple, but Jin Glittering.

The camera of the phone was facing Jin Shining's cage, and the door of the cage was open as always. Canary Jin Shining was standing on the crossbar that Xiang Kun specially made for him, facing the camera.

"Golden Sparkle, Happy New Year to Uncle Xiang!" Outside the camera, Little Apple's crisp voice sounded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Shining started chirping.

Obviously, Jin Glitter had direct feedback on her voice.

Little Apple also laughed, and then turned the camera back to herself. Although she couldn't see it, after using it for a long time, she made the camera point to her face very accurately: "Uncle Xiang, did you hear that? Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

Xiang Kun also smiled and said, "That's right, Little Apple, you taught Jin Glitter very well! It seems that you get along well... Hey, I think it seems to have been fattened by you? No wonder it listens to you so much, You feed it well!"

In fact, he could hear that most of the meaning expressed by Jin Shining's singing just now was joy, and there was also a little bit of showing off and complacency.

Huanxi is understandable. Seeing the old owner who "hardly" raised it for several months through the video, he should be happy, but what is the reason for showing off and being proud?
