Wang Zheng took out his own Flying Device, and following Butcher’s Flying Device, they reached Butcher’s warehouse.
“These is my art collection. There are 18 main categories in total, and 239 types of Zerg. They each include the various stages of growth and these are treasures that can’t be found on the market.”
At the moment when Wang Zheng spoke, Butcher had found his confidante. However, student Wang Zheng had no interest about this collection hobby at all. He was only interested in finding out more about his unknown enemies.
“Didn’t you already realise that these insects are different from the ones that are commonly seen?” Butcher said. He was very casual outside of the classroom.
The exterior appearance of this huge warehouse was very ordinary. However, its interior was technologically advanced. Some of the corpses required refrigeration, while some of them had to be bottled. It had well-equipped facilities, and all sorts of data. The staff inside were all busy with their work, some of the insects were even alive, and everyone was monitoring them in order to get first-hand information.
The real laboratory was over here.
“Get yourself changed into work attire. Some of these Zerg are still quite troublesome to deal with.”
“Teacher, from all the insects that we had seen, we have never seen this type of breed at all…”
“Hehe, that’s for sure. Even though you are just a Huang grade student, you will still come to know of some of these things sooner or later. It’s also good to know about them in advance.” Butcher brought Wang Zheng to change into the protective suit provided and together they walked into the laboratory.
“As everyone knows, during mankind’s second war with these insects, we had planned to exterminate them. As a result, we obtained a decisive victory and completely destroyed the Zerg in the Solar System. At the same time, we also prevented their invasion… However, that was not really the actual case. Even though victory belonged to mankind, but the Zerg had opened up their pathway leading towards the Milky Way.”
Wang Zheng was shocked. Everyone knew that the Zerg was hard to get rid of. During the time when the Zerg attacked the Solar System, they had only sent a portion of their forces. Nobody knew how many Zerg there were exactly, and where they came from. But there was one thing that was certain. If the main strength of their army came to the Milky Way, mankind would be completely unable to hold them back. Even in the current situation, their speed of evolution and reproduction was just too scary.
“This… how is this possible…”
Butcher shook his head slightly, he did not seem to mind at all. “There is nothing impossible about that. However, there is also no need to worry excessively. The entrance from their world is actually just under our feet.”
Student Wang was stupefied.
“The insects had indeed been destroyed, and the passageway where they were intending to open up to travel through had also been sealed off by us. However, we still can’t belittle their evolutionary abilities. They had evolved a type of Zerg with spatial powers. They used themselves as a medium to open up a space passageway. This belonged to the highest levels of Zerg. Yet when mankind discovered it, this passageway had already been formed and could not be sealed off. Later when mankind gathered their strength to build Roland Garros, the original intention was actually to block up the hole. However, after that we realised that even though the passageway had appeared, something strange happened. The insects had suffered some kind of obstruction and were unable to come through. But for us, we were actually able to pass over to their world.” Butcher laughed.
“Don’t tell me that these insects are from the other side of the tunnel?”
“That’s right. These insects are quite special, their bodies contained a secret that mankind had never ever grasped. For example, the aircraft that you had just used, it was actually also obtained through a reverse engineered research of these insects. But of course, it was also combined with the technology of Atlantis.” Butcher said.
“Teacher, you are a biologist?” The staff around would all nod when they saw Butcher, while the soldiers would salute respectfully. It was very evident the Butcher was just a butcher in name…
“Ah, did Gail that old man not tell you? I’m also a member of the Universe’s Genesis Coffee and could also be considered your senior. Otherwise would it have been possible for a newcomer to come here?” Butcher gave a forced smile. “However, you did give me a pleasant surprise. Don’t listen to Gail that old fellow, the direct purpose of science is for us to protect our homeland. And to ensure we have the power to protect our homeland also means we need to battle, for us to acquire even stronger power.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng became relaxed all at once. So he was actually one of them, this would make things much easier, as initially there were still some things which he was too shy to ask.
“Senior, the fighting strength of these insects far exceeds those insects outside, so much so that they might even be at least three times stronger than those wild insects. At the same time, there are also some things about their bodies that I can’t really understand.” Wang Zheng immediately asked.
Butcher was indeed a little stunned by Wang Zheng’s acuteness. “If it was under a circumstance where I had not known about you and your background, I would surely had thought that someone had told you about all these beforehand. The insects here have a very strong ability to defend against pure physical attacks and energy attacks. However, when it comes to ability X, and mental attacks, they are very effective against them.”
“In other words, the students of our Elite College are able to go into another world to hunt for these things?”
Butcher looked at Wang Zheng unenthusiastically, while Wang Zheng’s eyes were burning with fire. “Don’t get too excited, that is something that has only got to do with the heaven and earth classes. Specifically, it has nothing to do with you.”
Wang Zheng coughed. He was extremely confident about his fighting strength, but it also would not be good for him to act pretentiously in front of Butcher.
“To enter there, you must have an ability X of mid grade C rank and you must be able to sustain your ability X output steadily. Otherwise, even if you are able to enter, you would also not be able to come out.”
“Senior, since these insects are unable to come out, then how did they come over here?” Wang Zheng suddenly asked.
“Hehe, we have a special vessel. They are being brought over using spatial crystals. You should know about this. All these while, we have been researching on what was obstructing these insects from coming over, but it was to no avail. Hence, someone had proposed a conjecture. However, this has yet to be verified. On the bright side, using our spatial crystals, we were able to bring these corpses out. These things had also provided us huge amounts of research material for our biological and genetic technology research.”
Butcher was full of love as he looked at the ugly and scary insects inside the bottles.
Wang Zheng was able to understand this kind of expression. He had seen it before on many people’s faces. Gail, Old Merchant, Zhang Shan. They all had this face when they were doing the things that they loved. Their tastes were also different. They said that this was known as looking through one’s appearance to perceive what lay beneath.
“Hehe senior, you see, even though it is the first time that we are meeting, but after all, we are still comrades who are in the same pit…” Wang Zheng was choosing his words carefully as he was really not familiar with Butcher.
“Boy, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“I’m just wondering if I can come here often as I’m also quite interested in this.”
It was clear that not just anyone would be able to come into a place like this, as some of the technologies involved public safety. Furthermore, what Roland Garros controlled exceeded what entire countries did in certain fields.
Wang Zheng finally understood why all countries were so conniving towards Roland Garros, always trying to extract more concessions from them. It was indeed too unique and they possessed just so much more.
“This is something that can’t be decided by me.” Butcher replied seriously. Actually, regardless of what expression he gave, he always looked serious.
Although one should not judge another by his or her appearances, with his looks, the probability of him entering the Universe’s Genesis Coffee was actually about the same as Wang Zheng, which was to say, borderline impossible.
Wang Zheng felt a little regretful, but Butcher immediately said this to him. “Whether you want to come here or not, it is of your own choice. As a member of the Universe’s Genesis Coffee, you would of course have the privilege to come here and go freely. Do you think that it was just a title?”
Student Wang was stunned. The privileges he had were immense! No wonder so many people had cracked their heads for ways and wanted to find a way to join them. This was not just an issue about reputation and status, but it also involved a lot of privileges.
“For today just take a look around as you wish, I still have things to do.” Butcher patted Wang Zheng’s shoulder, he had given Wang Zheng a special lesson.
Even though the Universe’s Genesis Coffee was started by Mu Fengchun, nobody had the authority to manage anybody else. Many times, things were done as they felt more like obligations. However, its entry requirements were stringent. One must be like-minded and reached their minimum standards.
Until now, there was no one who broke the standards. However, with regards to Wang Zheng’s entry, there were many people who had their doubts. As after all, those who were able to join were all rulers from their respective fields, and how much capability could a kid possibly have?
However, so far, no one had ever broken the rules, and it was even more unlikely for anyone to joke about such things. Butcher had only wanted to meet him, he actually did not have any other intentions. But he really liked this boy. Actually, when he saw Wang Zheng’s concentrated look, he had already understood why he was able to join and had also felt reassured. As for how this boy wanted to torment himself, that would be his own business.
Student Wang Zheng was like a fish back in water, it was simply a Zerg museum over here. However, it was also no good for him to interfere with other people’s experiments. They were all very focused.
Over at Zhang Shan’s side, they had also ended their class. Experimental classes were different from surviving in the wild. During a life and death crisis people might not have as much apprehension, but with the current situation, it was very difficult.
Wang Zheng was brought away by the Butcher, into the Butcher’s warehouse. In Zhang Shan’s mind, it was a place with internal organs piled up in pillars. Just the thought of it made him retch. He really applauded Wang Zheng’s appetite. Did that fellow secretly give up his sense of taste and smell.
However, that was clearly not possible as Wang Zheng also really loved to eat, especially when Zhang Shan was the one paying.
