According to Ma Xiu, each device here was worth tens of thousands of dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, old man, what have you actually discovered after all this research?” Ye Nan, bored out of his mind, called out to Ma Xiu, who was observing cell activity under a microscope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiu, watching the cells constantly shift shape under the microscope, suddenly heard Ye Nan and turned around. “Don’t disturb my experiment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, who cares? Only people as boring as you would enjoy hiding in this dark, sunless hole doing experiments.” Ye Nan sneered dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, despite his words, Ye Nan was genuinely curious about Godzilla. According to Ma Xiu, Godzilla was an extraordinary creature whose cells continuously changed shape, like a living organism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Godzilla, your blood is being studied—you must be in agony,” Ye Nan grabbed the little Godzilla by its tail and lifted it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because its first sight was a human, Little Godzilla was different from its mother and brothers—it loved crawling around everywhere, didn’t bite, and just looked weak and listless. Then again, anyone who’d been bled dry right after birth would look like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss! Little Godzilla flipped its body, its two clawed limbs with suction pads gripping Ye Nan’s hand, while its tongue repeatedly extended, licking his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the coolness in his hand, Ye Nan immediately lifted it again. “Oh come on, you little brat, licking me like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused by the sudden change in position, Little Godzilla wobbled, its red tongue darting out to lick Ye Nan’s face, leaving a trail of saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You damn little Godzilla, you’re trying to ruin me, aren’t you?” Ye Nan slapped it down and pulled a tissue from his pocket to wipe his face clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Godzilla landed lightly on the floor and stared pitifully at Ye Nan, its tiny brain unable to understand why the person who had just played with it had now thrown it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Little Godzilla rolled over with a gurgle and climbed back onto Ye Nan, scaling him like a real lizard climbing a wall, soon reaching his head, its tail waving proudly as if delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get down,” Ye Nan grabbed Little Godzilla and tossed it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan was angry because Godzilla’s body left behind a sticky fluid that had smeared all over him as the little creature crawled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, don’t damage my treasure! You little brat who deserves hell—if you break my treasure, I’ll kill you!” Ma Xiu cried out, rushing over to cradle Little Godzilla and stroke its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a little Godzilla—why are you so dramatic?” Ye Nan sneered, utterly dismissive of Ma Xiu’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen Godzilla’s strength firsthand—its scales were incredibly hard, bulletproof even. Though Little Godzilla was still small, it wouldn’t break easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t understand. Little Godzilla is a treasure. Its cells are constantly changing—that means they’re alive, evolving. When it grows up, it’ll be stronger than its mother.” Ma Xiu snapped, too exasperated with Ye Nan’s scientific ignorance to even bother replying—he just wanted him to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then what?” Ye Nan asked, clueless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiu set Little Godzilla down, spread his arms wide, and exclaimed: “Then I’ll implant its cells into humans to create super soldiers! Human physical capabilities will surpass today’s by dozens of times. At that point, I’ll be the pioneer of humanity’s greatest era.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re dreaming. The U.S. government has plenty of resources—and they’re powerful. By the time you finish your research, humanity’s golden age will already be here,” Ye Nan sneered at the arrogant fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand cells or transplants, but he knew one person couldn’t outpace a team of researchers—unless that person was some legendary genius like Edison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiu froze, then growled: “Don’t underestimate me. Those government fools can’t even dream of catching up to my progress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he said that, Ma Xiu stopped arguing with Ye Nan and plunged back into his research, determined to outpace the government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, are all science fanatics this boring?” Ye Nan muttered, though he couldn’t help but admire Ma Xiu’s dedication—no wonder he’d become a great scientist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss! Little Godzilla, seeing the white-coated scientist leave, immediately hissed at Ye Nan, its tail covered in dark red scales thrashing wildly, like a pug dog wagging its tongue and head to beg for affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You little guy,” Ye Nan picked up Little Godzilla and stared into its pale yellow eyes. “Little Godzilla, you’re hungry? How about I take you to eat something interesting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, we catch a little Godzilla, skin it, strip its tendons, roast it whole over fire, then sprinkle on pepper, salt, and all kinds of seasonings—then we’ve got a delicious roasted Godzilla.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan grinned wickedly, watching Little Godzilla inch backward. “Little Godzilla, you must really want to eat it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, Ye Nan. If you’re bored and want to play, find something else to play with—don’t scare my Little Godzilla,” Ma Xiu’s voice came from behind, clearly displeased with Ye Nan’s teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just fooling around. Little Godzilla won’t mind,” Ye Nan picked up Little Godzilla and stroked its lizard-like head. Little Godzilla seemed to enjoy it, closing its eyes in comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Godzilla needs to eat. Give me Little Godzilla—I can’t let my treasure starve.” Ma Xiu pulled out a vial of pale blue liquid and fed it to Little Godzilla.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan’s eyes widened. “What is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a special nutrient solution I formulated for Little Godzilla—it keeps it from feeling hungry. But when it grows bigger, you’ll need to help it—take it out to hunt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not its babysitter. I’m just staying here temporarily. Hunting? You handle it.” Ye Nan refused without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want me, a frail old man, to take Little Godzilla hunting? How dare you even suggest that!” Ma Xiu glared, puffing out his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what if you’re old? I’m still a kid too.” Ye Nan shot back without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re built like a tank and you call yourself a kid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you call yourself old, you overgrown brute?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man and the boy glared at each other, but their argument was cut short by heavy footsteps coming from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone’s coming,” Ma Xiu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“High heels—it’s a woman. Quick, hide Little Godzilla! Probably those damn U.S. government cops,” Ye Nan said urgently. Though he liked teasing Little Godzilla, he wasn’t indifferent—he’d spent a whole day with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump-thump-thump! Fingers tapped on the iron door. A soft voice came from outside: “Please, open the door! There’s a giant monster outside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Nan blinked, amused. This was underground—how did she even know people were inside? She came straight out asking to be let in—clearly a rookie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coming, coming!” Ye Nan ran over and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move. I’m a police officer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead female officer stepped in, pointing a gun straight at Ye Nan. Behind her, several tall white male officers rushed in, weapons tense, ready to fire at the slightest movement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1216,"2026-06-21T03:32:50.781Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3efde10c0c1ae05beaef94c0058864fb26f53ac3e330e31673780298068dc8b4","arrival-in-1994-chapter-7","arrival-in-1994-chapter-5",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farrival-in-1994-cover.jpg"]
