Chapter 1969: Returning to the Fields

So, it wasn't that he wanted Li Si's phone number after all...

Xia Qing let out a sigh of relief and answered truthfully, "I exchanged it with Third Brother."

The high-end communication equipment Zhang San had here might have been exchanged with Wu Cheng. Tan Tan Junjie remained calm and continued to ask, "How many beasts in our base's evolutionary forest currently possess communication tools?"

The idol had let her expose her relationship with the evolutionary forest animals precisely to boost Tan Tan Junjie's confidence in resisting the Blue Blood and the impending catastrophe. Therefore, Xia Qing answered truthfully, "Six. Five wolves and one monkey."

A monkey?

Tan Tan Junjie reacted immediately, "Is that employee named Does Daigua in your territory the tamed golden snub-nosed monkey you rescued from the bear pack's territory?"

"No, it was a male white-faced saki monkey rescued from the bear pack's territory last year." After answering the base commander's question, Xia Qing emphasized, "Its name is Dagua; 'Does Daigua' is just a nickname only I can call it."

So, if you see it one day, you must address it as Dagua.

Tan Tan Junjie nodded, "Is Dagua a brain-domain evolver?"

After the experts who visited Territory No. 7 for inspection before the Spring Festival returned to their respective bases, they published a series of reports and articles related to Territory No. 7. After the intelligence personnel of the Hui-3 Base summarized the information from these reports and articles, they submitted it to the base commander's office.

The intelligence described this white-faced saki monkey as an ordinary type with no evolutionary ability.

Xia Qing responded, "It looks a bit dull, but Brother Song has already confirmed it is a high-level brain-domain evolver. Dagua has learned to use human language and communication tools. It currently serves as a technical worker in my territory, responsible for testing soil quality."

Tan Tan Junjie paused for two seconds before asking, "What about that female white-faced saki monkey?"

Xia Qing replied, "It is also a brain-domain evolver. Its level is not yet clear, but I feel it should be intermediate or high-level."

Tan Tan Junjie asked, "Have you come into contact with other saki monkeys?"

Xia Qing shook her head, "No. This type of monkey is quite timid and hides in the dense canopy all year round."

Tan Tan Junjie speculated, "You have only come into contact with two, and their brain-domain evolution levels have both reached intermediate or above. This probability suggests that the overall evolutionary level of the saki monkey pack in the northern evolutionary forest might be on the higher side."

Xia Qing answered rigorously, "It's possible. Brother Song installed cameras on Mountain No. 62 to observe the monkey pack there long-term. If you want to understand the specific situation of the monkey pack, you can ask Third Brother."

The monkey pack was Zhang Song's subject of observation, which meant it was the subject of observation for the Territory No. 7 Research Institute. Xia Qing had no right to disclose information about the monkey pack to outsiders, even if the other party was the base commander.

If the base commander wanted to understand the research projects of Territory No. 7, he should ask the person in charge of the research institute.

Tan Tan Junjie sensed Xia Qing's caution and sincerity. He smiled and asked about what Xia Qing knew, "Among the newly reclaimed Territories 201-207, there is one belonging to the resilience evolver Shi Shi Jiaran, right? Is she currently hiding within the wolf pack's territory?"

Xia Qing...

Brain-domain evolvers really are like bugs!

Tan Tan Junjie revealed a knowing smile. He didn't ask which specific wolf pack Shi Shi Jiaran was in, nor did he ask how many people were protecting her. He only urged, "It is indeed safe for her to be hiding in the wolf pack's territory for now. Before your alliance relationship with the wolf pack is made public or before it might be detected by the enemy, you must transfer her to a safe area as soon as possible."

Xia Qing nodded, indicating she understood.

Tan Tan Junjie stopped there. He picked up his water cup, took a sip of filtered water, and asked about Xia Qing's own defense situation, "Blue Blood has issued a kill order against you. When you go out again, it's best to bring at least four bodyguards. As for the safe zone, try not to go there if you can avoid it. There have been too many things happening in the safe zone recently, and Yang Jin can't get away. I'll go back and make arrangements so that he can stay in the territory to protect you as much as possible in the future."

Xia Qing shook her head, indicating it wasn't necessary. Yang Jin was the captain of the Azure Dragon Brigade; he had responsibilities he had to bear and didn't have the time to revolve around her every day, "I am very well prepared. You don't need to worry about my safety."

Just then, Zhang San, who had entered the laboratory, walked out and handed Xia Qing a box the size of a palm, "This is an ultrasonic vibrator, and there is a bottle of eye drops inside. Before using it, press here to start the ultrasonic vibrator for fifteen seconds, then open it and take out the eye drops. Within 10 seconds, pull open the upper and lower eyelids of Little Four, drip one drop into the center of the cornea, and then let it close its eyes for five minutes. During this time, it is not allowed to open its eyes, not allowed to blink, and even less allowed to rub its eyes."

It's that simple to change the color of the iris?! Xia Qing's eyes sparkled as she took the box.

Zhang San glared at the new human who was full of nonsense before continuing to urge, "After using it, do not let the eyes soak in water for a long time within six hours. It will return to its original color in three to five days. If you want it to recover as soon as possible, you need to use artificial tears to flush it thoroughly. Can Dagua complete this task?"

As soon as Xia Qing heard this, she understood that she still had to stay here. She immediately replied, "Yes, it knows how to use eye drops. I'll give Hu Hu Zifeng a call. You have Zheng Chen send the medicine over, and then Hu Hu Zifeng can pass it to Dagua. I'll send a message to Dagua to let it know."

"You're certainly at ease with that ugly monkey," Zhang San said coldly. "Connect a video call when you use the agent; I want to watch it operate."

"Okay." Xia Qing lowered her head and tapped away, sending messages to Hu Hu Zifeng and Dagua.

Tan Tan Junjie, who saw the familiar and natural interaction between the two, picked up his water cup and took another sip of water.

Zhang San, who had handed the medicine to Zheng Chen, took off his rubber gloves, washed his hands carefully, and then poured another cup of water for Tan Tan Junjie.

Tan Tan Junjie nodded, "Thank you, Third Brother. I've spoken too much today; I am indeed a bit thirsty."

Zhang San reminded Tan Tan Junjie, who was showing obvious signs of fatigue, "The last time you had more than four hours of deep sleep was five days ago, right? If you keep burning the candle at both ends like this, you won't need to wait for Blue Blood to make a move; you'll be able to send yourself to the ICU."

Tan Tan Junjie looked at Zhang San, whose complexion and physical state were even worse than his own, and asked half-jokingly, "Can't I be sent to you?"

Zhang San took a sip of water and replied listlessly, "My institute has limited funds, and the medicine and equipment are not well-prepared."

Tan Tan Junjie smiled and didn't continue the topic. The Hui-3 Base lacked financial resources and had a limited budget. Investing 40 million points into the Territory No. 7 Research Institute every year was already the upper limit.

Zheng Chen, a level-9 speed evolver, and Hu Hu Zifeng, a level-5 speed evolver, were extremely fast. Five minutes later, Dagua, the No. 002 technical worker in Xia Qing's territory, made a video call.

After the call was connected, seeing the snow-white white-faced saki monkey on the screen, Tan Tan Junjie once again confirmed the uniqueness and importance of Territory No. 3.

"Dagua, did you get the medicine?"

Dagua, with a dull expression, responded, "Yi."

"Very good. If you successfully complete the task of putting eye drops in Old Four's eyes, I will reward you with another 50 grams of delicious honey."

Dagua's dull little face was immediately lit up, "Yi!!!"

Does Ergua squeezed to Dagua's side, looking at Xia Qing eagerly, "Yi..."

Xia Qing's voice was gentle, "Does Does Ergua want to help too? You can. You listen to Dagua's orders. After assisting it in completing the task, I will reward you with 5 grams of delicious honey."

"Yi!!!"

Tan Tan Junjie looked at the pitch-black little monkey named Does Ergua on the screen and had the thought of immediately handing his position over to Xia Qing so he could stay in Territory No. 3 to farm. ===== CHAPTER 1970 =====
