"HTNT? What does your laboratory research?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Ling Jiayi, their faces full of confusion.
Ling Jiayi smiled faintly. "Interstellar lifeforms."
"The laboratory was founded a hundred years ago."
"A hundred years ago? Then you...?"
Zhang Xuan looked Ling Jiayi over from head to toe. No matter how he looked at her, she did not seem a hundred years old. He was certain that the Ling Jiayi before him was an ordinary mortal.
Seeing everyone's astonishment, Ling Jiayi covered her mouth and laughed.
"Don't misunderstand. I meant the HTNT Laboratory was founded a hundred years ago. I arrived at the laboratory aboard a manned spacecraft three years ago and took over this job."
Ling Jiayi explained.
Everyone understood.
"Then why are you the only one in the laboratory?" Thinking of something, Zhang Xuan asked again.
"Oh, I wasn't alone in the laboratory a year ago. There was a research team of ten people."
"It was just that something unexpected happened at the laboratory ten years ago."
"Oh? What happened?"
"Terrifying heh-heh-heh sounds came from outside the laboratory. The Old Director took the other team members out to investigate, while I stayed behind to guard the laboratory."
"They still haven't returned to this day!" Ling Jiayi lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected.
She had wanted to leave the laboratory and search for them, but the stars were vast and boundless. She did not even know which direction they had gone. How was she supposed to find them?
Besides, before leaving, the Old Director had repeatedly told her to watch over the laboratory, especially that steel barrel. Nothing could happen to it.
After much consideration, she had ultimately remained in the laboratory until now.
"When did that monster enter the laboratory?" Thinking of the monster, Zhang Xuan frowned slightly
