Chapter 381: 381. Research Institute

"Then, let’s go to the research institute right away!" Alicia was excited.

"Wait, wait, I’m not coming with you!" Lucy quickly stopped Alicia. "I and Mark had to report our return. Besides, I don’t think the research institute will allow just anyone to come in."

She and Mark didn’t have that remarkable status or abilities in the base. So if they wanted to go to the research institute, there was a rigorous process that they had to pass.

It was so time consuming and tiring that Lucy would rather spend her time back to the training base. Moreover, she also wanted to check Lidia and Alan since they were her team members.

"Oh right, I forgot." Alicia looked at Mark and Lucy.

Dylan chuckled. "We’ll drop them first and then ask Lucas to deliver your van back to your family. After that, we’ll go straight to the research institute if you don’t mind."

He could see that Anna was also interested in going to the research institute. Besides, there was nothing much for them to do even if they return to their apartment first.

"Meow?" we’re not going back?

Kitty, who was laying on Anna’s lap, raised his head in confusion. He didn’t think that it was interesting to go to the research institute.

"Oh right, cat is not allowed inside." Alicia looked at Kitty with troubled expression.

"He can wait outside the door."

"MEOW!"

"Any complain is unaccepted." Dylan snorted.

Kitty flexed his paw. He really wanted to slap Dylan for being such a tyrant.

Anna chuckled and patted Kitty’s head to coax the cat. "Don’t worry, we will try not to take a long time. I’ll leave you with a bag of your favorite snack."

"Meow!" You’re the best, Anna!

Kitty was so happy that his tail swayed when he heard Anna’s words. He felt that Anna knew him the best!

Dylan snorted. "You’re pampering that cat."

"It’s fine, isn’t it?" Anna glared at Dylan.

"It’s fine, Sister Anna." Dylan could only agree under Anna’s glare. He didn’t dare to refute and then he saw Kitty’s smug appearance.

For some reasons, he had the faint feeling that when they have a child in the future, it wouldn’t be much better than this Kitty.

In that case...

He had to make sure that they didn’t have any children anytime soon.

He didn’t want to add the second Kitty into their small family.

"Tsk, they have such a good relationship." Lucy laughed when she saw these two’s interaction. She felt that the two of them were really good to each other and felt glad when she thought about it.

Hopefully, this would last until the end of their lives.

"Do you want a child?" Mark asked doubtfully.

Lucy’s face turned red and she punched Mark. "Don’t you talk about it in public!"

What followed was the laughter of the others.

They made fun of each other until they reached the military base where Lucy and Mark came down. The two of them had their own things to do and Lucas went to deliver the van and then would return to the military base too.

As for the three of them, four if Kitty was counted, they headed straight to the research institute.

The research institute was more like a building that was dedicated for research. And looking at the tight security, it seemed to be harder to enter than anything else. They wouldn’t be able to enter this research institute without proper reason and status.

And for this matter, Alicia has them.

"Miss Alicia." The guards recognized her almost instantly. There was no need for Alicia to show her base card or anything.

"I’m here to meet with Professor Black and Derek," Alicia said.

"The two of them are present, Miss Alicia." The guard nodded. "You can go to the usual place."

Alicia nodded and the others followed her.

From the way it looked like, Alicia was a frequent visitor to the research institute. Or it was more like the research institute had been waiting for her arrival here from a long time ago.

"Miss Alicia." A man in his twenties walked out. He had thick glasses, which made it hard to see his eyes and his hair was a bit unkempt. Since he was dressed in white lab robe, it was easy to guess that he should be someone from the research institute.

"Derek." Alicia greeted with a smile. "I see that you’re still busy as usual."

Derek smiled sheepishly and nodded. He looked at the two people plus a cat that was now nestled on Dylan’s shoulder doubtfully.

"This is Dylan and Anna, my friends," Alicia introduced them. "I hope you don’t mind me putting the cat in the waiting room while we talk."

"No, it’s fine, but if you want to enter inside, you will need to change your clothes," Derek replied.

"Anna had something to say to the researchers," Alicia said while pointing at Anna.

"Yes?"

"It’s about the dull powder," Alicia smiled.

Derek’s eyes trembled when he heard that. Even though there were still some doubts in his heart, he looked at Anna once more and then nodded. "Teacher is here and he’s also having discussion about this matter with a few other teachers."

Alicia nodded. "Can you take us to them?"

"I can." Derek nodded with a smile.

"Let’s go."

Kitty was put down on the sofa and Anna took out a bag of chips for Kitty. After that, they went to follow Derek inside. As Derek had said, they had to enter a room to clean themselves and then wore the long lab robe.

And this was only for the lab at this area.

For those who wanted to enter the deep area, they would have to wear the protective clothing in order to avoid contaminating the project there.

Soon, they reached a meeting room where there were three old men who were discussing with each other. Derek greeted them one by one and then stated his purpose here. "Teacher, Miss Alicia is here and she brought her friend to see you."
