Chapter 2609: Chapter 2610: The Gap Between Civilizations

After leaving Longhu Mountain, Lin Yi drove to Shunfeng.

A courier certified by the system, the quality is still guaranteed.

Lin Yi divided the vegetables he brought back from Longhu Mountain into two portions, sending them to Zhong Hai and Yanjing, then took a flight to Yanjing himself.

"Why are you back!"

Seeing Lin Yi suddenly come in, Liang Ruoxu showed a joyful expression.

Hastily welcoming him inside.

"To give you a surprise."

Responding, Lin Yi looked inside the house, the coffee table in the living room had been moved away, leaving a space of dozens of square meters.

A foam mat was laid on it, where the nanny and the child were playing.

Lin Yi video calls them every day, fully aware of the child’s situation.

His own son could already crawl, although not very smoothly.

After taking off his slippers, Lin Yi bypassed Liang Ruoxu and smilingly picked up the child.

Liang Ruoxu stood at the door, rolling her eyes as she saw Lin Yi ignoring her.

But as soon as Lin Yi picked him up, the baby started crying loudly, unable to be comforted.

"You’re not home much, the child doesn’t recognize you, better give him to me."

Reluctantly, Lin Yi handed the child to Liang Ruoxu, who calmed him in a few seconds, and he stopped crying.

"Seems like daily video calls aren’t enough, I thought he would recognize me."

"It’s not as easy as you say," Liang Ruoxu retorted:

"Virtual parenting doesn’t work, you need to be hands-on."

"That’s true."

After staying home for a while, Liang Ruoxu handed the child over to the nanny, and went out with Lin Yi, returning only after five in the evening.

Knowing Lin Yi was back, the dinner at the Liang family was much more sumptuous.

Lin Yi drank quite a bit with Liang Xianghe and Liang Cunxiao.

And he received an important piece of information!

Groups one, two, and three have already landed on the island in batches, but they are only active around the periphery, responsible for supporting the Yanlong Team, and have not ventured deep into Tilia Island.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi’s mood couldn’t settle for a long time, even slowing down his drinking pace.

"You don’t need to worry about this," Liang Xianghe said:

"They are only landing on the island, the tasks involved are not as dangerous as outside, and they will return shortly for a rest."

Lin Yi nodded, speculating that this operation was only exploratory and not truly dangerous.

After dinner, the family went to bed early.

For Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu, absence made the heart fonder, and they were up until late at night.

The next morning, around eight, Lin Yi was awakened by the child’s cries.

Opening his eyes, he saw Liang Ruoxu holding the child and feeding him.

"What’s your plan for today?"

"I’ll take a tour of the brigade and check the situation over there," Lin Yi yawned and said:

"If you need me, I’ll stay with you."

"I’m fine, just go about your business."

After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Yi drove to the Central Guards Brigade.

"Oh, when did you get here!"

Just as he drove to the gate, he ran into Ning Che.

Seeing Lin Yi back, an unmistakable delight appeared on her face.

Ning Che’s style was the same as before, exuding a mature woman’s charm.

Her blue jeans outlined her long, straight legs, and her hair had a new, slightly grayish tint.

If not extremely confident, anyone seeing Ning Che dressed like that would definitely keep their distance.

"Got back yesterday," Lin Yi said:

"I heard you all landed on the island, how come you’re still here?"

"Group three withdrew last week, and groups one and two will soon follow."

"Didn’t encounter any danger, did you?"

"Rest assured, we’ve been active around the periphery of the island, not as dangerous as you think." Ning Che adjusted her hair, "Let’s get inside quickly, today’s the day for clinical trials."

"Clinical trials?"

"The ancient texts we retrieved have entered the clinical phase, and today’s the trial," Ning Che said:

"Originally, the brigade wanted to call you, but didn’t, because you’d already been a test subject before."

"So soon?"

"It’s not that soon, it’s been over a year since we started and we’ve invested heavily in it, so it’s justifiable."

"That’s true, but since these are items from another civilization, deciphering them within a year isn’t easy."

Ning Che nodded, somewhat nostalgic.

"Yuluo and I discussed this privately, and the more we think about it, the scarier it seems."

"Scary?"

"Do you remember last year when the Flame Dragon Team returned for rest, we had a meeting?"

"I remember."

"The outcome of that meeting was that the Kandaya Ruins might very well have been a warehouse for the natives of Tilia Island, and the ancient texts we painstakingly retrieved might be just trash to them, much like the vaccines we administer."

"And then, what are you getting at?"

"Our conclusion was that, although these items might be insignificant to the natives, with no technical content at all, it still took us over a year and a lot of resources to achieve the current progress. Whew..."

Ning Che took a deep breath and said:

"Think about it, if one day we actually obtain more significant materials, how much manpower and resources would we need to decrypt them? I’m guessing neither of us might live to see that day."

Ning Che’s words, in some respect, alerted Lin Yi, sending chills down his spine.

The gap between two civilizations may truly surpass an ocean.

Yet, the more it was like this, the more curious Lin Yi became about what could have led to this civilization’s extinction.

As they walked and chatted, they soon arrived at the administration building and headed to Liu Hong’s office.

Seeing Lin Yi back, Liu Hong was equally delighted.

He even proposed having dinner with him in the evening, but Lin Yi declined, planning instead to visit Liang Xianghe later.

"Weren’t we going to conduct a trial? When will it start, why is there no activity?"

"The trial isn’t taking place here, it’s at Yanjing Sports University."

"What? At the university? What’s going on now?"

"Although the external situation has calmed down a lot, there are still many eyes watching us globally, so caution is necessary," Liu Hong said:

"After discussion, it was decided to disguise these things as biological vaccines, and then administer them at the university, so it’s done without a trace."

"You’re not telling me the subjects are those students, are you?"

"Exactly, it’s them."

"What?"

Lin Yi was speechless, saying:

"Stop messing around, are you serious about using them for clinical trials? Aren’t you afraid something might go wrong?"

"Relax, we’ve done experiments before, and there were no issues," Liu Hong said with a smile:

"Sitting in this position, do you think we would act recklessly?"
