All His Calculations Came to Nothing
"During the gift exchange, we presented the British Alliance State with one thousand tons of compressed biscuits?"
The outcome of the ordinal battle was not announced, but related news can be seen on television.
This involved friendly and close conversations between the two sides, as well as some assigned tasks.
For example, during scholar exchange visits, researchers from the British Alliance State visited Western Capital City, while scholars from the Scarlet Alliance State also participated in exchange visits for four years.
Luo Burang was on the list of those to be exchanged.
This was something everyone had predicted, but no one expected that this exchange would have a limited effective duration, and things weren't as bad as they had imagined.
Everyone, including Luo Burang, felt somewhat better after receiving the news, no longer feeling the sense of abandonment they had felt before.
This also includes orders from Anmin Biscuit Factory, a production line under the Ren Household.
A thousand tons of compressed biscuits sounds like a lot, but the ex-factory price is only four million, and even with some repackaging, it won't sell for a very high price.
What amazed everyone was the demand for Anglo-Saxon biscuits in the British Alliance State.
To be honest, Zhang Xuezhou and the others were quite hoping to see the British Alliance State feeding the alien beasts with biscuits.
Under normal circumstances, apart from monkeys and other exotic animals, most creatures should have little interest in biscuits.
This topic became a subject of much discussion and enjoyment for everyone.
"What? You brought that head specimen here? Wait... You didn't contact any outsiders, drove here yourself, the Luo family won't find out, all security is perfectly guaranteed, are you happy? Are you excited?"
Zhang Xuezhou and the others chatted about related gossip and also made preparations for the pest control trip to the Thousand Islands Alliance. When Zhang Xuezhou received Zhou Yueyan's communication, everyone felt that everything was in chaos.
Luo Zhong's head was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb; the slightest mishap could result in a backlash.
Zhang Xuezhou might be able to withstand it, but many others cannot; people like Luo Burang even have to avoid it.
The group had been planning how to visit Luo Chong at the Zhou Household and try to extract the Mental Strengthening Chapter from him, but they hadn't expected that Zhou Yueyan had absolutely no interest in the head specimen and hadn't noticed anything unusual about it until now.
"Where am I supposed to put him?"
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a headache.
The B13 Research Institute sees a lot of people coming and going, especially young people.
This is probably the most delicious snack Luo Zhong wanted to see.
If Zhang Xuezhou is not placed properly, he could harm others, and even he himself could suffer the consequences of Luo Zhong's actions.
Zhang Xuezhou hoped to extract the secret from Luo Zhong, but he genuinely had no intention of spending time with Luo Zhong.
He never imagined that all his calculations had failed him; Zhou Yueyan wasn't nearly as curious as he had thought.
Given that Zhou Yueyan arrived after the sequence dispute, it's highly likely that she hasn't had her head examined yet, and hasn't even noticed the slightest abnormality.
"Even if you had a detector to look at it, even if you had just changed the container, even if... you didn't do anything at all!"
Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but mentally criticize Zhou Yueyan a hundred and twenty times.
"Should we place Luo Zhong in the A9 lab?" Zhang Manqian suggested. "But there's a problem with placing him in the A9 lab!"
"It's like we've directly returned Luo Chong to Professor Luo Hui," Zhang Xuezhou said, exasperated.
"Pretty much," Zhang Manqian nodded. "Professor Luo Hui also has access to the A9 lab. If any tracking device was installed inside Luo Zhong's head, he'll definitely track it down once he finds it!"
"Only the Zhou Household can handle this head. How could we possibly hold it steady? The professor is still lying in Jishi Medical Center... Frankly speaking, even if the professor were in good health, he probably couldn't handle it!"
Unless one can absolutely crush the Luo family, no one will easily clash with them.
Once Professor Luo Hui discovers that his secret has been leaked, he will either join in or expose the truth, and the final outcome is difficult to predict.
Zhang Xuezhou was no match for this kind of situation.
But since Zhou Yueyan had already come all this way, the other party only sent a message when they were already at the gate of the North Rehe River, waiting for it to open.
For Zhang Xuezhou, the time available to brainstorm solutions has been reduced to the bare minimum.
"It's bad luck to have a head in my lab. Drive to Lab A9, but don't stop. Try to avoid contact with any people or vehicles, and keep your distance from them," Zhang Xuezhou dialed again. "I'm coming to Lab A9 right now."
"Brother Luo, you're not in the lab anymore, are you? Okay, I need to borrow your lab to store some hazardous material—the kind you need to stay away from!"
Zhang Xuezhou quickly dialed Zhou Yueyan's number and also confirmed with Luo Burang again.
Knowing that Luo Burang had already left the A9 lab to join other scholars for exchanges, Zhang Xuezhou also hurriedly left.
"Hey, what are you doing acting so sneakily? It's just a skull specimen, do I really need to run around like this?"
When Zhang Xuezhou drove to the A9 laboratory, Zhou Yueyan, looking bored, carried a gift box of cookies and gestured to Zhang Xuezhou.
This made Zhang Xuezhou a little uneasy. Only after he mustered his spirits and focused his mind did Zhang Xuezhou quickly approach.
"The specimen is in this box?" Zhang Xuezhou confirmed.
"That's right," Zhou Yueyan nodded repeatedly, "Sister is still very smart. I took this box to the Sequence Struggle competition, and I brought it back after the competition was over!"
"Oh no... this is terrible!"
Zhang Xuezhou instructed Zhou Yueyan to avoid having the skull specimen seen by anyone other than members of the Sequence Committee, but his understanding was completely different from Zhou Yueyan's.
Zhou Yueyan thought that as long as the specimen bottle was wrapped in a box, no one could see it and there would be no problem.
Zhang Xuezhou's requirement was that Luo Chong not be allowed to meet people at lower levels, lest the other party take possible actions against him.
He exhaled sharply, realizing he had messed things up.
"This lab has a high level of security, wait for me outside!"
After hurriedly taking the cookie gift box from Zhou Yueyan, Zhang Xuezhou quickly swiped the swipe to open the door to the A9 laboratory.
"Everyone says that Luo Burang, that madman, planted a ton of explosives in the A9 lab. I have no desire to go in!"
Zhou Yueyan muttered a disgruntled complaint.
But she couldn't help but feel a little envious. After all, being able to be friends with a former genius like Luo Burang, and even gain access to his laboratory, was quite an impressive social skill.
While her mind was racing with random thoughts, Zhang Xuezhou mustered his courage and opened the gift box that Zhou Yueyan had wrapped around the bottle.
Long, black hair came into view, followed by a head beneath it.
Zhang Xuezhou glanced at it nervously, then quickly took the spectrometer to perform a simple vital sign scan.
As the electromagnetic life detector glided smoothly along a straight line, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but frown.
He held the old electromagnetic life detector up to himself and saw the wavy lines on the instrument fluctuating and flashing.
When the light was shone on Luo Zhong's head again, it still showed a flat line with no reaction.
Having eliminated the quality issues of the old electromagnetic life detector, Zhang Xuezhou felt that all his calculations had come to nothing.
In this container, either Luo Zhong is already dead, or Luo Zhong has already left.
