Chapter 2086, Section 2.84: Gu Longsu
“Costs vary from person to person.” The young lady, who didn’t argue, clearly knew how to make money through harmony: “But the value of this dragon egg hasn’t decreased by a single penny, has it?”
“That makes sense.” Captain Nine-Tails nodded slightly. “Then, would you like a Cadillac?”
"A sedan?" The young lady shook her head: "As you can see, riding a dragon is more convenient for crossing mountains and valleys."
"Do you want some hygiene products?" Captain Nine-Tailed asked, taking a different approach.
"What?" The young lady was indeed taken aback.
"It's just sanitary napkins and sanitary pads," Captain Nine-Tailed laughed.
"Do you still have any stock?" the young lady immediately asked.
"Yes," Captain Nine-Tailed laughed. "We have a whole container full."
"Although I really want it, I must refuse rationally." The young lady was indeed not fooled.
"Do you want the first aid kit?" Captain Nine-Tails asked, changing his approach.
"Is it sanitary napkins plus medical alcohol?" The young lady immediately realized.
"Yes. And sanitary swabs, disposable gloves..." Captain Nine-Tails said seriously, counting on his fingers.
“Actually, none of this is necessary.” With that, the young lady carefully removed her exploration gloves, revealing scabs on the back of her hands. “As long as it’s not a fatal wound, it will heal quickly. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a fatal wound, then there’s no need for treatment.”
“Yes, Miss.” Captain Nine-Tailed decided to make a formal offer: “Trade the Ancient Dragon Essence for a laptop.”
"Deal." The young lady nodded readily.
A brick-red reagent was solemnly handed over by the young lady to Captain Nine-Tails in exchange for the laptop without a password.
Before placing her bet, the young lady casually asked, "Where did you get these from?"
"What?" Captain Nine-Tailed was still waiting for the analysis results of the Ancient Dragon Essence in his hand.
"Where did you get this laptop without a password?" the young lady repeated earnestly.
"Yes..." Captain Nine-Tails also became serious: "Is there a problem?"
"No." The young lady realized that her question was a bit abrupt: "Only flying pterosaurs can find such 'relics'."
As she spoke, the young lady even made a gesture of vertical descent: "The ground is fraught with danger, making it difficult to penetrate deep into the ruins."
"Understood." Captain Nine-Tails laughed, "I can only say we were lucky."
"Of course, that's an indisputable answer." When luck comes, there's no stopping it.
After completing the transaction, the young lady did not rush to leave, but led the Mad Dragon caravan to the survivor camp at the bottom of the pyramid.
It must be said that this pyramid perfectly matches the style of the "Jurassic Three Islands." In the latest Jurassic World 4 storyline, the Quetzalcoatl's lair is built within the ruins of the indigenous people. Those pyramid-like ruins are now the main base of the Winged People, referred to by the young lady as "Dragon's Nest."
This is the first large settlement obtained after arriving at the Double Tower. It can also be seen as an important safe zone.
Watching the young lady set up camp in the open space near the large elevator, Captain Nine-Tailed displayed the scan results of the Ancient Dragon Essence in a pop-up window: "Sisters, this is a variant reagent carrying dinosaur genes. It can activate variant gene abilities." "How are human genes activated by variant dinosaur genes?" the Chen sisters asked.
"In a sense, humans and dinosaurs share a common ancestor," Wu Chen offered a general explanation.
Specifically, both dinosaurs and mammals originated from a common ancestor of the Synapsids and Sauromorphs, which diverged around the Permian period. Dinosaurs then evolved into archosaurs, while the ancestors of mammals remained small and developed during the Mesozoic era.
"Then, my lord, who should receive this dinosaur mutant gene?" Captain Nine-Tailed asked.
“Take it to visit Dr. Lizard on the fourth floor,” Wu Chen suggested, “From a genetic point of view, lizards and dinosaurs are genetically closer.”
Wu Chen meant that lizards and dinosaurs are genetically closer than humans.
In fact, lizards and dinosaurs are not closely related genetically. Modern biological research shows that birds are the direct descendants of dinosaurs, possessing the closest genetic similarity, while lizards are more distantly related to dinosaurs. From an evolutionary perspective, although dinosaurs and lizards both belong to the reptile family, they belong to different evolutionary branches: dinosaurs belong to the archosaurs, while lizards mainly belong to the lepidosaurs. They diverged approximately 3 million years ago and have since evolved in parallel, resulting in significant genetic differences. For example, dinosaurs' limb structure was adapted for upright running, while lizards' limbs are mostly crouching; these skeletal differences reflect different evolutionary paths.
"Yes, sir." After obtaining the approval of the higher-ups, Captain Nine-Tails boarded the large elevator and slowly stopped in front of the entrance to the fourth-floor cryogenic blood bank.
A state-of-the-art high-tech access control system was immediately activated. There was no need to enter the serum laboratory.
The new Viper Gang members were already waiting behind the door.
"Good day, ladies." Captain Nine-Tails greeted them with a smile.
"Good day." Seemingly able to see through the optical camouflage on the Nine-Tailed Captain, "Madam Hydra" Irina omitted "sir."
“Here’s a bottle of ‘Cologne Essence’.” Captain Nine-Tailed went straight to the point: “Perhaps you can uncover its secrets.”
“Ah…” With a flash of her snake eyes, “Madam Hydra” Irina’s expression immediately turned serious: “Thank you.”
"No need," Captain Nine-Tails said with a smile, bidding farewell without even mentioning any conditions.
"Next time." Holding the Gu Longsu in her hand, "Hydra Lady" Irina also showed goodwill at the right time: "If there is any trouble at the camp, we will help."
"Thank you." Captain Nine-Tails returned to the large elevator and went straight to the top floor.
"Captain." The female producer was busy moving the equipment that filled the hall into the back room. She had clearly accepted the curved blade's suggestion to continue operating the hall as a nightclub.
"Madam, the third-floor drug laboratory has been confirmed to be unattended. Therefore, we would be best to appoint a new person in charge."
"Do you have any good suggestions?" the female producer asked for her opinion.
“Dr. Liang Manna.” Captain Nine-Tailed Fox gave the most suitable successor: “A mutant gene research expert who has handled similar incidents.”
“No problem.” The female producer nodded readily: “Give me the detailed file, and the appointment will take effect immediately after being approved by the Security Zone Committee.”
“I will do it as soon as possible, ma’am.” Captain Nine-Tailed also tacitly obeyed the management authority of the safe zone’s higher-ups, led by the female director.
Previously, before Chen Xian, the second-in-command of the Water Spirit Gang, was completely erased by the "gray hole effect" as a character from a "time-space misalignment," Wu Chen retrieved Dr. Liang Manna and "Chameleon," a female mutant wrestler from the Super World Champion Wrestling League, from the scattered fragments of the "Black Mask 2" plot in the outer realms. They were the perfect candidates to take over the three-story drug laboratory.
"By the way, with the approval of the entire security committee, the fifth level of the pyramid will be used as an 'operations base'." The female producer gave another piece of good news: "You can move that container safe house in now."
“Yes, ma’am.” This is clearly an important sign that the character is further integrated into the main storyline.
