"Here, it's your favorite flavor."
Ling Xi quietly handed the milk tea to Klein and asked, "What time did you go to sleep last night?"
"Last night?"
Klein blinked, then checked the time and exclaimed, "What, it's already the next day? And it's one in the afternoon!"
Ling Xi: "???"
Unbelievable!
At this moment, Ling Xi couldn't find any words to properly retort to Klein. It was just two words... unbelievable!
Besides, their Doctor wasn't someone who overworked their employees, so why did Klein have so much unfinished work? Their lab had four assistants... well, he and Cangxuan combined probably barely made one.
"Klein, I think... you should get some rest."
Although Ling Xi had been betrayed by Klein's excessive work last night, Klein's intentions were good, and she treated him well. Ling Xi really didn't want Klein to have any health problems. After all...
If Klein continued to work overtime like this, Ling Xi was afraid that before Finality could even clean things up, Klein would be gone!
"It's fine, I can still work!"
Klein took a big gulp of milk tea, closed his eyes to savor it for a moment, and then smiled, "With enough sugar, my brain can regain some energy, enough for me to finish this work."
Ling Xi: "..."
No wonder Klein drank milk tea every day and still had such a good figure. It turned out his brain consumed all the sugar!
But speaking of which, considering how much Klein used his brain, it was a miracle he hadn't gone bald yet!
"Klein, I know where the Doctor is, but where are Cangxuan and Danzhu?"
After giving Klein her milk tea, Ling Xi planned to deliver the rest to the others. This time, he wisely didn't ask about Mobius's whereabouts because there was no need to ask; she was probably in Lab No. 3!
"Danzhu is in Lab No. 5. As for Cangxuan..."
Klein thought for a moment and said, "She's probably still reporting work progress to the Doctor. I remember her experimental reports are due today. Oh no, I haven't finished the previous reports, and new ones are coming soon. I need to hurry..."
As he spoke, Klein was already engrossed in his work again.
Ling Xi: "..." If Klein wasn't an adult, he would have reported his Doctor to the authorities for... child labor!
However, even though Ling Xi felt sorry for Klein, he could only watch. After all, he knew his own capabilities very well. If he tried to help Klein? Forget helping, it would be good enough if he didn't make things worse!
You must know that even Cangxuan, an assistant recognized by Mobius, made all sorts of mistakes when helping Klein with his work, which ultimately led to Klein having to redo it, thus increasing the workload!
This was also why almost all the work in the lab was handled by Klein alone!
Without disturbing Klein any further, Ling Xi turned and walked into Lab No. 3...
"Doctor, Cangxuan."
As soon as he opened the door, Ling Xi saw Mobius and Cangxuan discussing something.
"Yo, Ling Xi, good afternoon."
Seeing Ling Xi, Mobius immediately greeted him with a smile and asked, "Why are you here so early today? Aren't you accompanying your junior schoolmate?"
"Uh..."
Ling Xi naturally understood that this was sarcasm, so he quietly said, "Ahem, Doctor, as a member of the lab, I naturally prioritize the lab's interests. In the face of the Doctor's interests, any junior schoolmates are just fleeting clouds."
"Oh? So, you have junior schoolmates?"
Mobius asked with feigned surprise.
Ling Xi: "..." Doctor, you can insult my character, but don't you dare question my preferences!
"Doctor, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back. I still have three experimental groups to observe."
At this point, Cangxuan had finished her report and planned to leave, as she still had three experimental groups to continue observing.
"Okay, go ahead."
Mobius waved her hand, signaling Cangxuan could leave. After all, from Cangxuan's report just now, she had obtained some useful information, although... implementing it might be a bit difficult.
"Wait, Cangxuan!"
Ling Xi quickly took out a cup of milk tea and handed the remaining two cups, along with the bag, to Cangxuan. "These are for you and Danzhu. Please take them to her."
"Okay, no problem, thank you!"
Cangxuan nodded and glanced at Ling Xi as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating, she said nothing. After all, this was the Doctor's business...
"Doctor, this is yours..."
After Cangxuan left, Ling Xi handed the last cup of milk tea to Mobius.
"I'll drink it later, Ling Xi. Come sit down first."
Mobius smiled and pushed a chair towards Ling Xi, and... it was the same one from last night.
"Uh... no, no!"
Ling Xi quickly refused because he strongly suspected that as soon as he sat down, a mechanism would activate on the chair, locking him in, and then he would be at Mobius's mercy amidst helpless cries!
"Hey, don't worry, I won't tease you today. I want to talk to you about something serious!"
Seeing Ling Xi's wary expression, Mobius felt a bit speechless and even annoyed. Was she really that scary? Did he need to be so vigilant?
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even have the chance to ask her to do this.
Ling Xi: "..." I don't believe you. Last night you also said you were talking about serious business, but in the end, you almost threw me into a ditch with a sudden brake!
Fortunately, Mobius seemed to be serious about business this time. She looked at Ling Xi with a smile and said, "You still remember what I told you last night about the experiment, right?"
"Of course, I remember."
Ling Xi nodded silently, indicating that he remembered very clearly, after all, they had just talked about it last night.
"Then, let's conduct the experiment this afternoon."
Mobius said with a smile as she took out the documents, "I've already chosen the location, it's on the west side of the research institute, in the warehouse area. There won't be many people there usually. After we evacuate the warehouse administrators, we can proceed with the experiment directly!"
"Okay, are there any preparations needed?"
Ling Xi had no objections. After all, Mobius was the professional when it came to experiments.
"Just bring the Honkai Energy radiation source, the Honkai fragment. There's an abandoned laboratory there, but the energy supply system is still functional. As for the rest..."
Mobius smiled slightly, "Just call Klein. She can help record the data later!"
Ling Xi: "..." Can you find someone else to exploit? Klein is almost bald!
Of course, Ling Xi ultimately agreed. There was no other way, Klein was just too professional, and it was hard to say if anyone else could do this job well!
Chapter 56: This is the Moment of Bankruptcy!
At 4 PM, at the west warehouse area of the First Research Institute of Changkong City, the area had been cleared. About five hundred meters from the experimental center, guards arranged by Mobius were stationed at various intersections, prohibiting anyone from entering.
However, at the entrance to the warehouse area, something unpleasant seemed to have happened...
"What the hell? Why is she so domineering? Don't we need to do experiments?"
"Exactly! Exactly! It's not like she achieved something back then, and it was an achievement obtained by crossing human boundaries. She's too arrogant!"
"I have something very important to do this afternoon, and now they won't let me get my materials. It's delaying my experiment. Are you responsible?"
Because of Mobius's experiment, she had designated a no-entry zone within a radius of five hundred meters, completely enclosing the research institute's warehouse and some residential areas, which led to widespread dissatisfaction.
"I apologize, everyone, but these are the orders of Dr. Mobius!"
The guard captain held his weapon but explained very respectfully to these researchers. After all, he was just an employee, and these researchers were the real big shots. He really couldn't afford to offend them!
However, thinking of Mobius's previous instructions, he absolutely dared not let anyone in. After all...
If any accident were to occur, the losses would be huge, and he would definitely not escape blame!
Therefore, even though his current actions were offending the researchers in the laboratory, he would absolutely not let anyone in!
And in the old laboratory, both Klein and Mobius were wearing protective suits, while Ling Xi was in casual clothes, preparing for the final test!
"Klein, completely release the radiation source restrictions and set the power to maximum!"
Mobius gave the final command as she looked at the data from the instrument in her hand!
"Doctor, the restrictions are completely released, and the radiation source energy level will reach 120HW. If it leaks, it will cause people within a hundred-meter radius to contract Honkai disease. Do you wish to proceed?"
Although Klein knew Mobius would not interrupt the plan, she still reminded her responsibly!
"Continue!"
Mobius stated without hesitation. After all, radiation wasn't that easy to leak, and even if it did leak, it wouldn't be a big problem, as the surrounding five hundred meters had been cleared!
"Releasing restrictions!"
Klein directly started the operation, looking at the screen as she said, "Restrictions completely released, Superpower Cells are mutating, energy is being released... Oh no, Doctor, energy is leaking from the sealed chamber!"
"Interrupt the experiment!"
Mobius immediately decided to interrupt the experiment. It seemed that the energy released by the Superpower Cells was still too powerful.
Klein immediately reactivated the restriction program. "Yes, interruption starting..."
"Boom!"
At that very moment, an explosion occurred, and a purple light shot through the wall, illuminating the sky and forming a purple vortex with a diameter of three meters...
"Honkai..."
Looking at the vortex that suddenly appeared in the sky, Ling Xi immediately realized what it was.
"As expected..."
Mobius naturally also noticed the situation above, and she knew immediately that this was a precursor to Honkai!
It seemed that the last Honkai was not a coincidence!
"Get out of the way, I need to get my materials!"
"That's right, hurry up and let us in. Do you know how much time will be wasted if the experiment is delayed?"
At this time, the people at the warehouse area entrance were still arguing. Seeing that they were about to force their way in, then...
"Bang!"
In the sky ahead, a purple vortex suddenly appeared...
"Roar!"
"Bang!"
Then, several Assault-class Honkai Beasts flew directly out of the vortex, and at the same time, three Knight-class ones descended from the sky, landing directly in the warehouse area!
Afterward, dozens more purple and white Assault-class Honkai Beasts flew out from it, but not all of them reached the ground. Several flew off into the distance!
The Honkai is just that unreasonable, it comes whenever it wants!
The guard "..."
"Everyone, please..."
The guard silently cleared the way...
"Uh... I just remembered I have an experiment I haven't done yet."
"Right, I still need to collect my clothes."
"Holy crap, what is this... did Mobius do this?"
"Nonsense, it must have been Mobius!"
"I can't believe she's actually creating Honkai, this... this is practically anti-human!"
"What are you guys waiting for? The Honkai Beasts are coming, let's retreat!"
Facing the arrival of the Honkai, no one dared to stay here any longer, except... the guards.
"Ling Xi!"
