Chapter 183 Eating a cucumber and becoming an immortal? Even the Philosopher's Stone was scared
When the young researcher uttered the words "It's still that same courtyard house" with a sob in his voice, the entire S-level command center fell silent.
Everyone's movements froze in an instant.
Every single one of them stared intently at the blood-red dot on the screen, which was so bright it was almost burning through the display, as if it were a "cosmic calamity."
There again!
Why the hell is it always that place!
What kind of den of dragons and tigers is this courtyard house, or has it stirred up a hornet's nest?!
They keep creating these kinds of incidents that almost trigger global panic every few days!
The last time was when an unusual celestial phenomenon almost caused several major powers to press the nuclear button on each other.
The time before last, there was a spatial distortion that almost swept away half of the capital city.
The time before last... they dared not recall it anymore.
Ever since this coordinate came under surveillance, these top security experts and researchers in China have been living a doomsday drill, not a normal life!
My heart is practically developing muscles from all that training!
Li Zhenguo felt his legs going weak.
Now, whenever you hear the words "Siheyuan" (courtyard house), you'll understand.
He felt like he was about to develop PTSD.
He forcefully suppressed the surging fear in his chest. As one of the pillars of China, he absolutely could not lose his composure!
Li Zhenguo walked a few steps to the control panel, his eyes fixed on the data stream on the screen that had been completely turned into gibberish.
"What's the situation?! Is it an alien invasion, or is that man conducting a destructive experiment?!"
His voice was trying his best to remain calm, but his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
"Reporting to the commander..."
An elderly, white-haired expert in charge of data analysis pushed up his reading glasses, his tone filled with unprecedented uncertainty.
"Based on energy model analysis, this fluctuation... is not aggressive."
"It's more like... more like a leap to a higher level of life?"
"What do you mean?" Li Zhenguo frowned deeply.
The veteran expert carefully chose his words, attempting to explain this supernatural scene.
"To give an example, it's like... a caterpillar in that yard suddenly transforms into a butterfly."
"And it's not an ordinary butterfly."
"It's a chaotic butterfly that can create a storm on a cosmic scale with the flap of its wings!"
This fantastical metaphor left everyone in the command center completely bewildered.
But Li Zhenguo grasped the key words instantly.
A leap in the level of life?
Could it be that someone or something in the courtyard has broken through to a higher level?
Who is it?
That unfathomable Mr. Lin?
Impossible. If that guy were to break through to a higher level, the impact would be far more than this; the entire solar system would probably be wiped out along with him.
Who is that? The Fang family's little girl? Or that group of strangely behaving "foreign friends"?
Li Zhenguo's mind was completely in a mess.
He desperately needed to know what had happened in that courtyard!
"The 'douzhi' at the alley entrance! Has he sent back any information?!" He turned and growled at the communications officer.
In order to get the latest information on that man's movements, he went to great lengths to place his most elite agents at the douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) stall at the entrance of the alley without offending the man.
"Reporting, sir! 'Douzhi' sent a top-secret message one minute ago!" the communications officer immediately shouted in response.
"read!"
"yes!"
The messenger cleared his throat and began to read out the absurd intelligence report that was worthy of being recorded in history.
The message is as follows:
"At 5:37 p.m. today, a new visitor entered the target courtyard. He is suspected to be a Taoist priest and appears to be over 80 years old."
"At 6:05 PM, an unusual celestial phenomenon appeared over Beijing, and the energy source locked onto the target courtyard house."
"At 6:08 PM, preliminary conclusions were reached through long-distance observation using the 'High-Precision Lip Reading Analysis Telescope'..."
The correspondent paused noticeably as he read this, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.
"What's the conclusion?! Tell me quickly!" Li Zhenguo slammed his hand on the control panel in a panic.
The correspondent's voice almost became a dream.
The conclusion is...
"The new Taoist priest ate a cucumber in the courtyard."
"Then……"
"He's become a child again."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The words "rejuvenation" echoed faintly in the deathly silent command center.
Time seemed to have been paused.
Everyone who heard this sentence was collectively petrified.
The expressions on their faces were exactly the same as Li Zhenguo's, filled with blankness, bewilderment, and the philosophical questions of "Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?"
Eat... a cucumber?
So... he's become young again?
What kind of third-rate online novel plot is this?! Are we listening to gibberish?!
Li Zhenguo felt as if his worldview had been crushed into dust by an invisible hand and then haphazardly glued back together.
He suddenly remembered the "Ice Jade Snow Ginseng" that he had recently "rescued" from the "garbage dump" of that courtyard.
China's top biological gene laboratory, using all its cutting-edge equipment and countless efforts, still cannot fully analyze even the epidermal cells of that thing.
result……
In the end, there was just an ordinary cucumber in someone else's yard.
Can it really make people young again?!
Isn't the gap between people a bit too outrageous?!
Do not!
This is not a difference between people at all!
This is an insurmountable barrier between mortals and gods!
Li Zhenguo suddenly realized how childish and ridiculous he had been to be so smug about picking up three "treasures" from his husband's "garbage dump".
They didn't take those things seriously at all!
A random cucumber from someone else's vegetable garden has surpassed the "miracle" that we couldn't decipher even with all our national resources!
A tremendous sense of powerlessness and frustration overwhelmed Li Zhenguo like a tsunami.
He slumped back into his command chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering to himself.
"It's numb..."
"I'm completely numb..."
He felt that if he continued to deal with that man, a mental hospital would be his only destination.
Inside the command center, the other staff members, seeing their leader looking so utterly exhausted, didn't know how to comfort him.
They could only silently shed a tear of sympathy for their leader.
It's too awful.
Being neighbors with that guy is just too miserable.
Just then!
A violent commotion suddenly erupted from the direction of the S-class laboratory!
A young researcher scrambled in, his face a mixture of terror and elation!
These two extreme emotions intertwined, completely distorting his young face!
He even forgot to salute, lunged at Li Zhenguo, and screamed in a hoarse voice:
"Commander! Commander! Something terrible has happened!"
"It's that 'Philosopher's Stone'! The 'Philosopher's Stone' we brought back from the master's yard!"
"It...it's alive!!!"
