135: Chapter 135 Leading the way, Qi Lian!

If something doesn't look like a cat, doesn't sound like a cat, and has almost no feline characteristics, but it hisses, it might be a cat, but it's highly unlikely to be one.

Seeing Fang Xun's confused expression, Lu Li beckoned again and took out a stack of testing reports.

That thick stack placed on the ground looked just like a large bundle of old newspapers; it could even be used as a table.

Fang Xun casually picked up one sheet.

"Test Report Regarding Disaster Beast Codename 05"

On it was first an image of a bizarrely shaped creature, followed by detailed gene sequencing comparisons.

Fang Xun flipped through several pages; the rest were mostly the same.

The only difference was that these items were divided into several batches, tested jointly by five or six companies.

Each company's report was appended at the end, making this single report a thick stack when combined.

But the sequencing results from every company were almost identical.

"This is a chicken? Two and a half years old?"

Fang Xun looked at the report, wondering if Wei Heng was joking with him.

However, judging by Wei Heng's expression, Wei Heng clearly had no interest in making such an unfunny joke.

"Yes, Great Senior," Wei Heng nodded. "The creature that inadvertently walked out of that dimensional rift has a gene sequence that almost perfectly matches our local organisms."

"So? What are you guessing the other side is?" When Fang Xun saw that cat-like thing, he had already thought of several possibilities.

For instance, this dimensional rift might connect to a place on Blue Star already infested by Disaster Beast.

Or perhaps a Blue Star creature went over there, and the environment there caused it to mutate into this form.

Or perhaps...

"The other side might be a world similar to Blue Star," Wei Heng said directly.

"Perhaps we can figure out the origin of the Disaster Beast."

"Mm..." Fang Xun nodded. "After guessing for so long, I think we might have forgotten something."

"What?"

"Wait for me to make a call."

As Fang Xun spoke, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

Seeing that Fang Xun wasn't hiding anything from him, Wei Heng felt a little more reassured.

The Great Senior trusted him.

...

...

Ring ring, ring ring...

In the girls' dormitory at night, the young ladies were not yet asleep.

Qi Lian was still reading a book.

Although Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang could skip classes casually, she could not.

If she didn't study hard, she would fail her courses.

Hearing her phone ring, Qi Lian picked it up with a little happiness.

"Brother?"

As soon as Qi Lian said this, except for Shen Yue who was still diligently drawing, the little ears of the other two young ladies immediately perked up.

"Now? Okay."

Qi Lian agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Immediately afterward, she quickly tidied up, tucked her phone into her pocket, and said goodbye to her roommates.

"I'm heading out~ I'll be back later."

"You won't be back, will you?" Little Green Tea looked at Qi Lian, her tone rarely carrying a hint of resentment.

It wasn't that she couldn't do 'that thing'; it was all because her brother was too disgusting...

He didn't even do 'that thing' when he was with me.

Brother, disgusting!

Jiang Qin also wanted to ask about the situation, but since Tang Xiaotang had already spoken, she didn't know what else to ask, so she just watched Qi Lian along with Tang Xiaotang.

"I will be back, definitely.", Qi Lian nodded, pulling open the dormitory door.

After slowly closing the door again, she left lightly on her feet.

Fortunately, even though it was already night, the curfew hadn't started yet; she could still go out now.

Qi Lian quickly left the dormitory building, found a secluded corner, transformed directly into a pink streak of light, and slowly headed toward the south of the city.

Not long after, Qi Lian arrived at the temporary station in the south of the city.

She also saw that dimensional rift, and a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

But she first followed the aura to the temporary operations briefing room.

"Just come in.", Fang Xun had already sensed Qi Lian outside.

Then, Qi Lian walked in.

"Brother, Director Wei, Captain Lu."

After entering, Qi Lian first greeted everyone very politely before standing obediently behind Fang Xun.

Wei Heng had long been curious about Qi Lian's address for Fang Xun.

Brother—he hadn't noticed this detail last time because he was too nervous.

But immediately, Wei Heng pushed his curiosity deep into his heart.

What he didn't know, he didn't know.

"Hello," Wei Heng nodded.

"Hmph," Lu Li responded vaguely, what Disaster Beast leader, hmph.

Seeing that the pleasantries were over, Fang Xun got straight to the point.

He asked directly, "Lian Lian, have you ever seen this kind of creature?"

As Fang Xun spoke, he pointed directly at the iron cage in the briefing room.

The 'cat' at this moment was tired from scratching and was curled up in the cage, sleeping.

"I haven't seen it," Qi Lian shook her head, but then added:

"However, it feels very familiar."

"Just familiar?" Fang Xun was puzzled.

"Just familiar," Qi Lian nodded.

"So that means..." Fang Xun pondered for a moment. "You guys aren't from the same place?"

"Brother," Qi Lian suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"Actually, I don't even know where I came from," Qi Lian thought for a moment.

"I was born from a Mother Nest; when I was born, I was already on Blue Star."

"I see."

Fang Xun nodded. They had been on Blue Star for too long.

Forget a few hundred years, even a few decades was enough to erase the memory of a generation.

Moreover, the casualty rate among Disaster Beast wasn't low, and they had no Legacy.

By now, they probably didn't even know where their ancestors were.

Perhaps one day when they remembered, they would have to trace their lineage through human records.

Furthermore, many advanced Disaster Beast had actually secretly integrated into human society.

Otherwise, he would probably have to kill every single Disaster Beast to make Dongcheng City quiet.

"But, that rift looks somewhat familiar. Brother, you actually wanted to ask about this, right?" Qi Lian pointed toward the direction of the rift outside the tent.

"Yes, Lian Lian, you know about it?"

As soon as Qi Lian finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

"Mhm, every Mother Nest has a rift like this.

But seeing a rift like this outside a Mother Nest is the first time for me. Also, it doesn't look very stable."

Qi Lian explained as she spoke.

"This one isn't stable?" Wei Heng immediately asked.

This was already the most stable rift discovered so far.

"I remember now," Qi Lian suddenly said.

"They used this reason to summon me to the North City Mother Nest."

"What?" Wei Heng only knew that Qi Lian had temporarily left Dongcheng for some reasons, but he didn't expect there was a story behind it.

"Some problems occurred at the North City Mother Nest, and there have been some abnormal fluctuations recently; that's what they said."

Saying this, Qi Lian affectionately placed her hand on Fang Xun's shoulder.

"I thought they were using some trick to deceive me, but it turns out it's true.

Does Brother want to go in and take a look?

I can lead the way."
