Chapter 46: The Surprise After Returning

  In a special spacious room within the institute, with the emergence of spatial fluctuations. Mocheng Xing and Xia Linxue finally returned to the real world unscathed after completing this looting mission.

  After making sure it was safe to go home, Mudanxing immediately released Athena from the bracelet and looked around to find that Lao Zhou and Lao Xia did not come out to greet them as they usually did. This is a very rare thing!

  However, at this time Alice's holographic projection appeared in front of Mudustar and Xialin Yue first, smiling and greeting: "Welcome back, Mr. Mu, Miss Lin Yue, Athena! This action was really hard work!"

  Xia Lin Yue saw that her old dad hadn't come out to pick her up, so she asked Alice's projection: "Alice, where are my father and Uncle Zhou? Why haven't I seen them?"

  "Alice, with a cute little girl-like projection, replied obediently: 'Miss Linxue, the two doctors are currently undergoing their own superpower enhancement training. They asked me not to disturb them for the time being.'"

  After hearing Alice's unexpected answer, Muxin Xing and Xia Linxiao couldn't help but look at each other. The two of them actually automatically strengthened their training in their heterozygous abilities, which was a rare thing. To know that Lao Xia and Lao Zhou usually concentrated their main energy on various research, those heterozygous abilities were only used by them as a means to assist in research, and they didn't pay much attention to the intensity of their heterozygous abilities in daily life.

  Mudan Xing thought for a moment and felt that something might have happened at home, so he asked Alice directly: "Alice, did anything happen at home while we were away?"

  Alice's holographic projection nodded and replied, "Yes, about ten days after you left, the institute was attacked by a group of parasites. And for the first time, there was also a third-level parasite among the attackers. But it has already been eliminated by Dr. and his team."

  "Third-level Parasite!"

  Not long after, they had just discovered a small number of rare but extremely special secondary parasites. At that time, they had already left a deep impression on the combat effectiveness of those special parasites. Those parasites were simply natural ideal biological weapons. Unexpectedly, the parasite still had a third form, and it seemed that the opponent's evolution speed was really too fast.

  "Alice! What's the overall strength of a third-level parasite, and what kind of special abilities does it possess?"

  "Alice replied in her sweet, little girl voice: 'A third-stage parasite has undergone a complete transformation in appearance. The host's original appearance no longer exists and is replaced by an entirely new one, making it possible to consider it as a completely new organism. It possesses even stronger vitality, defensive capabilities, and attacking power than the second-stage parasite. The two doctors had to put in quite some effort to eliminate each other, and only after this parasitic attack did they temporarily halt all research plans and focus on training their abilities non-stop!'"

  Mudan Xing and Xia Linxiao exchanged a glance, the impact of this attack on them was still quite significant. Otherwise, these two science fanatics would not have obediently stopped their research so easily.

  Xia Lin Yue looked at Alice with a smile and asked: "Alice, so they are now there for enhanced ability training!"

  "Alice replied immediately: 'Dr. Zhou is conducting an experiment to enhance telepathy in his laboratory, while Dr. Xia is outside the institute's empty land, using various metal steel materials for construction to strengthen her heteropathy.'"

  "Thank you, Alice. You go ahead and take care of your business. We'll find those two ourselves." Mu Chen Xing said with a smile to Alice as he walked towards the door of the room, while also saying to Xia Lin Yue and Ya Tian Na: "Ya Tian Na, please transmit some of the data from this record to Alice's mainframe first. Lin Yue, let's go take a look at those two people who are undergoing rigorous training now!"

  Xia Lin Yue smiled and nodded in agreement before walking out with Mu Chen Xing and Ya Tian Na.

  ··············································································

  After passing through the clean and spacious corridors of the research institute, Muxin Xing and Xia Lin Yue saw Old Xia who was practicing his heterodyne outside.

  At this time, Old Xia was wearing a casual outfit and was in an open area in front of the institute, using powerful magnetic force to manipulate more than a dozen large steel beams used for construction, suspended in mid-air. Like flying swords in mythological movies, they were constantly moving back and forth at relatively high speeds, and it's easy to imagine that if one were hit by these gigantic "flying swords", it wouldn't be a laughing matter.

  At the same time, Mu Chen Xing and Xia Lin Yue also found that Old Summer had a dozen or so metal balls hovering around his body, moving back and forth in extremely uniform speed and orbit, just like satellites guarding him at all times.

  I didn't expect Old Xia to have developed and utilized his abilities to such an extent in a short period of time. Not only has he increased the weight control of metal objects, but he can also multitask. On one hand, he manipulates these large steel materials dancing in mid-air, while on the other hand, he controls those small metal spheres orbiting around him, showing that his control skills have reached a very impressive level.

  Perhaps Lao Xia felt that someone was behind him, so he immediately turned his head around. As a result, he found that it was his beloved daughter and Mu Chen Xing who had returned, and he smiled and said: "You've finally come back, oh, wait for me to put down these exercise tools first and then we can have a good chat!"

  In the sky, those tens of steel bars were slowly arranged in a very neat and tidy manner on the front patio of the institute under Lao Xia's command. Looking at the distance between the steel bars, which was not even a hair's breadth apart, Muxin Xing knew that Lao Xia now had a brand new understanding and control over his own abilities, which was in no way inferior to his control over telekinesis.

  As soon as Lao Xia put away the small steel balls surrounding his body, Xia Lin Yue immediately walked over and held Lao Xia's hand with a smile: "Father, your ability is even stronger than before, just now that scene was really magnificent."

  Lao Xia heard the praise of his daughter and immediately laughed loudly with pride: "That's right, I've been wholeheartedly strengthening my abilities during this period, and these efforts haven't gone to waste. By the way, you're not injured from your first time crossing over into another world, are you?"

  Xia Lin Yue shook Old Xia's hand, smiling and replied: "Not hurt at all, Dust Star and I got a lot of good things in that world. And we also had an extremely exciting adventure, let me tell you about it in detail when we get to the living room!"

  "Alright, alright, let's go to the living room and have a good chat!" Old Xia couldn't wait to ask Xialin about her situation as soon as he saw his beloved daughter return.

  Just as Lao Xia turned around to head towards the institute, he suddenly remembered that Muxu Xing was also standing beside him, seemingly having been forgotten for a while. With an apologetic face, he said: "Muxu, sorry about that just now when I saw Lin Yue, I got too excited and forgot about you! Come on, let's go to the living room and have a good chat!"

  Mudustar was speechless towards Old Xia, this doting father of a daughter. He stood there with Xialingyue, but the other party's eyes only had his precious daughter in them.

  "Alright, I've got nothing more to say to you. You go with Linxue to the living room first, I'll go call Lao Zhou and we can all have a good chat together later."

  "Alright, we'll wait for you in the living room!" Old Xia said as he and Xia Linyue headed towards the institute's living room.

  Mudanxing watched him from behind, smiling and shaking his head, then started walking towards the laboratory where Old Zhou was.

  As soon as he entered the research institute, Mu Chenxing hadn't even approached Old Zhou's room when a mental message had already appeared in his mind: "Mu Xiaozi, you're back! How was this time's harvest?"

  After hearing Old Zhou's words, Muxu Xing also responded with a smile: "Not bad, got some biological samples of the unique species in that world, and some magical weapons. By the way, after this period of strengthening, your spiritual sense has reached what kind of realm? Old Xia's progress is really impressive, I think you shouldn't be much worse than him, right?"

  The telepathic message had just been sent, and Muxin Xing immediately opened the laboratory door where Lao Zhou was located. Inside, he saw a device similar to a miniature brain wave amplifier. He asked in surprise: "Lao Zhou, you have already developed the brain wave amplifier! How did you do it?"

  The brain wave amplifier can be said to be one of the most lethal extinction weapons in the world. In X-Men 2, Professor X almost used it to kill all humans on Earth. I didn't expect Old Xia and Old Zhou to actually build this incredibly powerful thing during their time away - these two are just too awesome!

  Old Zhou put down the silver-white helmet connected to the brain wave enhancer on his head, smiled and hugged Muxin Xing, patted him on the back and said with a smile: "This is not a complete brain wave enhancer, it can only cover my spiritual sense within a radius of one kilometer. Moreover, it can only sense the opponent's position and location, but cannot control the opponent's current and the real original brain wave enhancer is still quite different!"

  Mudustar looked at the brain wave enhancer in front of him and smiled, "This is quite impressive. I think the entire research institute, including this mountainous area and a part of the outside, has already become your sensing range. From now on, there will be no one or creature that can escape your control in this area. Our secret should be even more secure."

  Under the effect of this brain wave amplifier, no matter how clever the hiding method is, it's impossible to escape their search. You can hide your physical form, but a person's brain waves are impossible to hide, unless you're dead and don't have any brain waves. Another exception would be someone like Wang Mang who possesses a helmet that can isolate mental sensing, but currently in this world, only the likes of Mo Dun Xing and his group can create such an item, no one else is capable of it.

  Mudan Xing suddenly thought of something and immediately turned his head, excitedly asking Old Zhou: "Old Zhou, I heard from Alice that you and Old Xia killed a third-level parasite together and even collected the corpse. Now quickly take me to see it."

  Lao Zhou saw that Muxun Xing was actually interested in his spoils of war, and couldn't help but laugh dryly as he replied: "Alright then, the corpse is in the cold storage room next to the laboratory. That's a big one, so don't be too shocked!"

  Under Lao Zhou's leadership, Muxun Xing was able to see that very rare third-level parasite. However, when the thing appeared in front of him, Muxun Xing immediately mistook it for Lao Zhou. He wasn't here to look at the Tyrant from Resident Evil after all.

  "Old Zhou, are you certain that this thing in front of us isn't a Tyrant created by the T-virus, but rather that so-called third-stage parasite?"

  Lao Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and immediately denied it: "Tyrant! Of course not, where did you think of this? The big guy in front of us is the third-level parasite that attacked the institute this time."

  It's no wonder that Mudan Xing would have such a misconception, the thing in front of him is really too similar to the famous monster "Bui" from the Resident Evil game series. Looking at their build, both are huge and sturdy, and as for their appearance, neither looks like a benevolent creature. Another point is that the two giant claws of this third-level parasite are really too similar to Bui's second form, if you put it together with Umbrella's developed Bui, it's very likely to be mistaken for another model of Bui. Mudan Xing walked around the third-level parasite in front of him for half a day, muttering to himself: "It's so similar, really too similar, is it just a copy of Bui?!"

  Lao Zhou saw that Muxun Xing was still observing the third-level parasite and spoke up, "Alright, alright, you have plenty of time to look at this thing. By the way, where's Linxiao? Has she gone to see Lao Xia?"

  Mudanxing was asked by Old Zhou, and only then did he remember the real reason he came here. He said with embarrassment: "Look at my memory, I'm here to invite you to the living room together, Lao Xia and Lin Yue have already gone ahead, we can all chat about what's happened during this time."

  Old Zhou nodded and smiled very crisply: "What are we waiting for? Let's go to the living room!"
