My beast can't be a demon.

Chapter 283 Superbugs
"This is one of the Tian family's residences." Ouyang Xiao brought Zhou Lu to the city center. "They live here most of the time."

Looking up at the skyscraper in front of him, Zhou Lu couldn't help but say, "This time it's finally not a single-family villa..."

"Not everyone likes that kind of villa." Ouyang Xia smiled bitterly, "What's more, the building in front of you belongs to the Tian family. But there are other users here."

“Uh... these users wouldn’t..." Zhou Lu looked at Ouyang and smiled.

Ouyang Xiao naturally knew what Zhou Lu meant by this, and said, "Those who can live here must be rich or noble. The Tian family won't use these people as food, unless they are really hungry."

"If there are innocent people, it will be troublesome." Zhou Lu scratched his head in distress.

Hanabi's fighting style is very rough, and she might even pull down your entire building when she's in the mood.

Now, its maximum growth volume no longer depends on its own upper limit, but on the upper limit of the ground's bearing capacity.

This kind of fighting style is obviously inappropriate in a prosperous area like the city center.

Fortunately, Huo Huo is not incapable of more delicate techniques, and is even very good at them. After all, controlling so many tiny branches is a very delicate job.

It's just that Hanabi doesn't like to do this kind of thing on a normal day.

Zhou Lu did not rush to take action.

This time he came here to destroy the Immortal Kingdom. How could the Tian family alone be enough?

After observing for a while, Zhou Lu asked Hua Huo to leave the branch, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going in?" Ouyang Xiao asked immediately when he saw Zhou Lu turning around.

Zhou Lu looked back in confusion: "Why do we need to go in?"

He looked at Ouyang Xiao in front of him and always felt that this senior's current state was a little strange.

The corners of his mouth twitched upwards, and his hands in his pockets were trembling slightly.

The most important thing is that when he spoke, he no longer looked at Zhou Lu.

Hua Huo held Zhou Lu's head and whispered, "Master, your senior seems a little strange..."

"What's wrong with you, senior?" Zhou Lu raised his hand to flick the fireworks, then asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ouyang Xiao smiled helplessly: "It's an old problem. When something like this happens, my body shakes uncontrollably and I get chills."

"I will do the same when I encounter exciting things." Zhou Lu smiled and said, "I am waiting for all the other members of the Immortal Kingdom to show up, and then catch them all in one fell swoop. These immortals are too good at hiding on weekdays. If we can't eliminate them completely, there will be endless troubles."

Ouyang smiled and nodded: "That's the truth."

"Master, why do you want to eradicate the roots?" Hanabi said unhappily, "If you are interested in the roots, I can let you rub them."

"Metaphor! This is a metaphor!" Zhou Lu raised his hand and patted the flowers of the fireworks in annoyance.

"I'm going to the Sixth Research Institute of Suizhou this afternoon." Zhou Lu looked at Ouyang and smiled, "Help Sister Xiaoqing get some samples. Do you want to come with us?"

Ouyang Xiao shook his head: "No, I have other things to do."

After that, the two agreed on the next time they would meet, and then said goodbye.

Ouyang Xiao took two steps forward, then looked back and found that Zhou Lu left without looking back. He was stunned for a moment and then turned and left.

"Master, are you really not going to touch my roots?" Hua Huo said relentlessly.

"Okay, has he left?" Zhou Lu changed the subject.

"Yes, he has left." Hanabi confirmed.

Zhou Lu nodded and immediately frowned.

This is not Ouyang Xiao.

He was very sure.

It’s not that he knew Ouyang Xiao very well. After all, this senior had been missing for a long time, and Zhou Lu had never really seen him since he traveled through time.

However, when Zhou Lu saw Ouyang Xiao for the first time, he was able to tell at first sight that he was in disguise.

In order to identify her own people, Wu Xiaoqing always puts some mushroom spores on their bodies for identification.

These spores are inconspicuous on normal days and may not even germinate.

But when two individuals who also have the ability to identify mushrooms approach each other, these mushroom spores will emit a special rhythm.

This rhythm is so special, just like an old grandmother lying in front of you, sucking your thumb with her toothless mouth.

But when he saw Ouyang Xiao, Zhou Lu didn't have this feeling at all.

From that time on, Zhou Lu knew that there was something wrong with this senior.

However, because he was unsure of the real situation of the senior, Zhou Lu didn't want to take the initiative to expose the other party.

During this period of contact, Zhou Lu had actually been testing the other party.

It was not known whether the other party had noticed something or really wanted to destroy the immortal. Zhou Lu could not find any flaws.

Just now, if I hadn't insisted, he would have rushed into the building impatiently.

This situation completely confused Zhou Lu.

"Senior, there shouldn't be any mistakes in your identification of the spores, right?" Zhou Lu called Wu Xiaoqing while rushing to the Sixth Research Institute.

Wu Xiaoqing was confused by Zhou Lu's sudden question: "Why do you ask this?"

So Zhou Lu briefly recounted what had happened during this period to Wu Xiaoqing. After listening, Wu Xiaoqing thought and said, "I'm not sure about this. After all, it's a very early work. Besides, in order to prevent us from finding him, that guy might have removed the identification spores on his body."

Remove...

Did I really misunderstand my senior?
After Zhou Lu pondered for a moment, he asked again: "Then do you know what old illness the senior has?"

"This guy is very healthy." Wu Xiaoqing paused, "At least he was like this before he disappeared. Of course, I'm talking about the surface. I don't know if there is any problem with his core male function."

Zhou Lu also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard Wu Xiaoqing's words: "I'm asking you something very serious."

"I am also answering very seriously." Wu Xiaoqing replied confidently.

As the two talked, they talked about the Sixth Research Institute where Zhou Lu was about to go.

Suizhou Sixth Research Institute is considered to be a relatively famous research institute in Suizhou.

"What do you want me to get this time?" Zhou Lu couldn't help complaining when he mentioned this, "Don't you know that my affairs involve world security?"

"My matter also involves world security." Wu Xiaoqing did not give in.

This actually aroused Zhou Lu's concern: "Fuck, you didn't create another germ that could destroy the world, did you?"

"No way! Wait...why did you say again?"

"I always feel that with Senior Sister's ability, it's probably only a matter of time before she can do this."

Wu Xiaoqing was immediately unhappy: "Don't slander me! I have never been involved in research on such horrible things..."

After a pause, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly hesitated: "I think so..."

"Fuck! I should be the one scared of you." "What's there to be scared of..." Wu Xiaoqing's voice actually sounded a little guilty.

How many horrible things did our senior sister hide?

Zhou Lu silently decided in his heart that it would be better not to mess with this kind of microbiologist.

Especially for microbiologists who follow the beast taming worldview, who knows what horrible things they will research.

This time, Wu Xiaoqing wanted Zhou Lu to get a new type of bacterial sample.

"When did you start getting involved in bacteria? I thought you were only interested in mushrooms." The sampling process went very smoothly.

When Zhou Lu arrived, he saw the branches of Fireworks fighting with the spirit beasts of the failed projects in the testing room.

Sensing the approach of the main body, the branch running alone paused for a short time, and then was immediately seized by the opponent.

The lightning mouse flew high in the air and suddenly disappeared. The next second, it appeared behind Hanabi Fenzhu and hit him with its head, causing him to stagger.

Unfortunately, the Lightning Rat was too light, and such a headbutt could not hurt the branch at all. Then the branch, who had reacted quickly, picked it up and hit it again.

"What the hell! Can anyone tell me why the lightning mouse awakened the power of space?" The researchers watching from the side were dumbfounded and looked at their colleagues around them.

"Lao Liu! What was your research project about?"

The researcher named Lao Liu adjusted his glasses, his fingers trembling a little: "Increase the power of the lightning mouse, and then this kind of pet spirit beast can have the same function as a power bank during travel..."

The lightning mouse is not a very powerful spiritual beast, but there are many studies related to it.

Mainly because this cute mouse is very popular in the pet market, researching variations of the lightning mouse can often make a lot of money through manipulation.

However, most of the research on lightning mice is about curly color and hair, but Lao Liu wants to take a different approach and use the power generation characteristics of lightning mice to develop its role in practical fields.

Unfortunately, the project experiment failed in the end.

The lightning mice that were edited with new genes not only did not show increased electrical power, but also became very fond of eating.

"What a pity, it's just a lightning mouse." The researchers quickly cooled down from their excitement.

This ability to teleport in space is definitely a magical skill for other combat spirit beasts.

But the only one who owns it now is a lightning mouse.

"That's not the case." Zhou Lu joined in the fun and said, "I feel like you should be able to get an order from the Pioneer Army soon."

"Hmm?" The researchers did not have any resistance to Zhou Lu, an outsider.

The atmosphere for academic exchanges in this kind of officially-run public research institute is quite good.

"As long as the transmission distance is considerable, the Lightning Mouse will not be weak. It can be used as a delivery prop to deliver some super-lethal weapons to the enemy." Zhou Lu said thoughtfully.

Just like those weird mushrooms of Sister Xiaoqing.

Zhou Lu's words made the researchers think.

In that case, this teleporting lightning mouse is not completely useless.

However, their specific usage will depend on their transactions with the pioneer army.

Zhou Lu walked out of the research institute with the sample that Wu Xiaoqing needed.

"Did you get the advantage of that skill just now?" Zhou Lu asked with concern.

Hanabi chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm open 24/7 now."

What Xiao Caocao meant by "open all day long" was Benben's [Doom Egg].

With several skills that refresh skill cooldowns, Huohua can now attack Benben from all directions.

Since leaving New Yuezhou, Benben has died nearly two hundred times, an average of twelve times a day.

Well, considering that the duration of the [Doomsday Easter Egg] is two hours, this means that Benben will basically keep dying.

Of course, Zhou Lu's [Recycling] skill is also constantly refreshing.

Thinking of Benben who was still on the brink of death, Zhou Lu's mouth twitched slightly.

I always feel a little sorry for Benben, but this is what they strongly requested...

This subtle feeling is really hard to describe.

As he said this, Zhou Lu opened Hua Huo's skill card, and then saw the racial skills of the lightning mouse.

It is true that this skill is space teleportation, but it has a distance limit.

The farthest is only about a hundred meters.

For battles between spirit beasts, especially battles between high-level spirit beasts, this distance is actually very dangerous.

"Come to think of it, why don't they directly check the racial skills of these spirit beasts through contracts?" Hua Huo suddenly raised a question that had been lingering in her mind.

Zhou Lu said: "The contract that can directly view skills must be a contract with a card slot. Under this kind of contract, it is very difficult to cancel the contract. No beastmaster will waste his card slot like this."

Moreover, it must be a master-servant contract. An equal contract that can be terminated at will does not have the ability to check skills.

Just like the crescent moon, it occupies a beast taming slot of Zhou Lu, but Zhou Lu cannot see any relevant information about it.

Here, although it is said that it is difficult to terminate the contract, it is actually not difficult.

Just kill the pet.

There is still controversy in the scientific community as to whether there will be any cost if this kind of thing is done too much, but one thing that is clear is that if this kind of thing is done too much, people will really go crazy.

Anyway, normal people will not easily try this kind of behavior.

Just as Zhou Lu was about to continue explaining to Hua Huo, Wu Xiaoqing called impatiently.

"How is it! How is it! Did you get the sample?" Wu Xiaoqing said expectantly.

Zhou Lu picked up the petri dish in his hand and said, "I got it. But what kind of sample is this that makes you so concerned?"

"A highly contagious and lethal bacterium." Wu Xiaoqing said excitedly, "It can be spread through the air. Once it enters the host's body, it will multiply rapidly and eat all the cells it encounters around it..."

Zhou Lu was silent for a few seconds, then subconsciously swung his hand.

Wu Xiaoqing seemed to have guessed what Zhou Lu would do, and shouted predictively: "Don't throw it away!"

"You've changed, Senior! I won't let you get involved in this horrific research!"

"What a horror!" Wu Xiaoqing shouted, "This kind of bacteria is very safe, okay!"

"Is this fucking thing safe? It eats every cell it encounters! It also has a very strong reproductive capacity!"

"That's why! They were eaten by their own people before they had a chance to reproduce."
