Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Flying Dragon Sitting on the Face, Just Around the Corner_1
Medea felt that Song Lan didn’t seem to realize just how preposterous the topic of conversation was, despite standing in a public place, where he engaged in a deep exchange with Xinyue about "how do you usually lay eggs?" and "why didn’t you lay eggs today?" among other questions.
Under the broad daylight, in a clear and bright world.
This was a public rest area that had been built underground specifically to welcome Xinyue’s arrival, definitely considered a public area.
"She’s still a child!"
Medea, who couldn’t stand to watch any longer, stepped forward.
With her own research in biology, she knew that laying eggs involved activities that weren’t suitable for public discussion, and this was true for animals or mutated creatures alike.
"Medea, you’ve come at the right time, we are discussing the topic of advanced military kinds."
Concerning this issue, Song Lan had thought through it for an entire afternoon.
As Medea approached, Xinyue was just saying, "Those eggs were a way for me to delay my metamorphosis by separating some of the required nutrients, but now that the metamorphosis is complete, there’s no need to do so anymore."
"Does that mean you can still lay eggs normally?"
"I can, but there’s no need."
In Xinyue’s view, those hatched flying creatures were not strong, and the combat power of a single one couldn’t even deal with a squad wearing exoskeleton armor.
"You first lay one for me to see."
Song Lan believed there was no man in the world who could resist the temptation of a Flying Dragon landing on their face, and flying units were precisely what they needed now.
As Xinyue was too large, any frequent movement would eventually alert the United Government, but the mutated creatures she hatched wouldn’t have this problem. According to Doctor Oleg, the flying creatures were just over a meter long, and under the cover of night, they could silently land on the enemy’s face without any notice.
Although Xinyue didn’t understand why Song Lan was making such a fuss, she nevertheless focused her attention, and soon, a clump of flesh separated from her body, gradually taking the shape of an egg that was over a meter tall with sharp barbs on its surface.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the public resting room seemed to have an exclamation mark pop up over their heads, especially Doctor Oleg, whose DNA was greatly disturbed, and he nearly brought out his flamethrower subconsciously.
The egg-laying process was indeed very much in the style of Devourers, with the characteristic flesh formation, it seemed as if Xinyue was essentially a Devourer wrapped in a premium skin.
After exchanging with Xinyue, Song Lan’s last concerns were completely dispelled.
The processes of laying and hatching eggs were controllable. When they were bringing Xinyue back, he was concerned that if she would lay a dozen eggs daily as she did in the cave, the Flying Dragons might quickly become a pestilence.
"I don’t understand, these individuals have very weak combat abilities, and many of the weapons you invented can effectively kill them, why waste nutrients on them?"
"Have you forgotten what tribe you’ve joined?"
Song Lan said, "We are the Mechanical Bug Swarm, and the Mechanical Bug Swarm values the integration of flesh with machinery; the weaknesses of these individuals can be compensated for with technological means."
Even a Horn Bug army could form a powerful combat force, let alone the inherently combat-capable Flying Dragons.
"From now on, this new mutated creature will be called the Flying Dragon."
"Flying Dragon? But they look more like Bats."
Doctor Oleg, who had once faced the Flying Dragons, offered a different opinion. It had taken them considerable effort to kill just one Flying Dragon, and he found it hard to imagine the level of Destruction such mutated creatures could unleash once they assembled in swarms.
Just one spray of acid from each Flying Dragon could cause an acid rain, instantly resulting in thousands of deaths in any city.
Oleg couldn’t help but wonder; when Song Lan invited them, the official reason was to develop an α-blocker to combat infection, but it wasn’t until they arrived in District 17 that they discovered the small junkyard packed with two Devourers, along with a research team specifically equipped to study the Devourers.
This didn’t seem like medical research at all, but rather like preparations to assault the moon.
"Flying Dragon sounds more imposing."
"But..."
"Doctor Oleg, regarding this matter, I suggest you hold your tongue a bit."
Oleg wanted to say more, but Dr. Bai Zhu patted his shoulder, "You’ve only been here for one day, you’re not quite familiar with the situation here, Flying Dragon is already his overachieving work."
Recently, at the behest of Lu Xiang, she made tremendous progress in her Deep Web research.
In her eyes, Lu Xiang was undoubtedly a natural-born hacker, as she had now surpassed 30 seconds in her Deep Dive simulations, which was a rate of progress hard to believe.
Dr. Bai Zhu still remembered that on the first day Lu Xiang attempted a Deep Dive, she retrieved the browsing records that Song Lan had deleted:
"How does ’Invincible Universe’s Heart-Piercing Knife-hand’ sound?"
"What are some cool-sounding skill names?"
"The rules and basic tutorials for naming."
"A newbie asking for a naming pro."
...
That day, Dr. Bai Zhu deeply realized that the online world was full of greater dangers than she had imagined. After the Deep Dive ended, she and Lu Xiang sat in silence for several long minutes, looking at each other.
"Forget about this."
As she spoke, Lu Xiang’s face remained red all the way to the base of her neck, so this became a secret known only between the two of them.
So when Song Lan suggested the concise name "Flying Dragon," as opposed to something like "Invincible Universe Ultimate Destruction Dragon," Dr. Bai Zhu was quite pleased. She certainly didn’t want to tell her assistant later on that their next research focus was "Invincible Universe Ultimate Destruction Dragon."
"This is for the sake of our future, and your own. Don’t fuss over the name with him."
"...Alright."
Oleg was silenced by Dr. Bai Zhu’s warning tone. In his memory, Dr. Bai Zhu was someone so serious and rigid that anything frightening her was exceptionally significant.
Not far away, the conversation was coming to an end, and Ge Fu treated the egg like a treasure as he brought it back to his lab. After the group departed, Xinyue resumed discussing secrets about the edge of the universe with the artificial intelligence.
She found that artificial intelligence was a marvelous invention.
No matter when or where she sought artificial intelligence, it would always respond to her positively.
Half an hour later, after a day’s work, Lu Xiang descended to the parking area of the junkyard in her hovercar. As soon as they saw the hovercar land, the security team led by "Heavy Cannon" approached.
"Where’s Song Lan?"
Lu Xiang asked.
"Chief Song should be in the public lounge now."
They had just seen an astonishing scene unfold in the public lounge through the surveillance.
"What’s he doing there?"
Lu Xiang yawned tiredly.
"I’ve never been to school, so it’s hard for me to describe, but in short, it seems that Chief Song has just laid an egg in the public lounge with Xinyue."
