The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 779 Research Institute

Time was of the essence, and after a few brief words, Ling Feng got into the car and headed to the airport.

After boarding a small plane, the two of them embarked on their journey to the Demon Capital almost without delay.

During the flight, Lin Xue said to Ling Feng, "This event is still in the making. We’ve taken the initiative this time, but other countries will definitely take action as well!"

"Do they even dare to come here and steal from us? Don’t worry, with me here, nobody will be able to snatch the seed away!" laughed Ling Feng.

"The discovery of the seed is top secret and definitely won’t leak out. I now feel that countries around the world may be watching our country’s next move, waiting to see how we react!" Lin Xue said.

"If they don’t know about the existence of the seed, what reaction can they have? It’s nothing more than a meteorite falling down, which happens all the time, doesn’t it?" Ling Feng remarked.

Lin Xue glanced at him, "Although it seems like a random event, if they track the trajectory of the incoming meteorite, they will surely realize that the situation is not ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng felt she had a point, so he nodded, "So if our country makes any move, like preparing an exploration to the Moon, other countries will definitely follow up?"

"That’s likely!" Lin Xue nodded.

The plane arrived at the Demon Capital’s airport, and after landing, a black SUV was already waiting there.

"Please follow me to the car, both of you!"

A young military officer approached, saying warmly with a smile.

Ling Feng nodded and, taking Lin Xue with him, got into the car. Then, remembering the rush of their departure and that he hadn’t yet notified his family, he turned on his mobile phone.

As a result, after trying a round of calls, nobody picked up.

With no other option, Ling Feng reluctantly dialed Zhang He’s number, which was immediately answered this time.

Zhang He quickly asked, "How’s it going? Did you make any new discoveries?"

Ling Feng’s hometown wasn’t within his jurisdiction, so he hadn’t been informed of the matter, and Zhang He was still unaware that the situation had escalated.

Ling Feng chuckled, "There indeed has been a discovery, but I can’t tell you about it. I’m already in the Demon Capital, and I’m wondering if you’ve seen Mo Jiaolan and the others?"

"They left with Bai Ling, saying they were going to some place. Do you have something you need from them?" asked Zhang He.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng understood—it must have been Ling Yao’s doing, and he guessed that Bai Ling had likely been taken to the Nine Heavens by now.

Everyone had gone there, which is why their phones weren’t reachable.

Consequently, Ling Feng, feeling helpless, shook his head, "Alright, I came here in such a rush that they don’t even know I’ve arrived at the Demon Capital. Let them know when you see Zhou Yi for the Elixir later!"

"Oh."

Zhang He responded with a sound, then asked, "Are you worried they’ll be concerned about you?"

"Not really. It’s just that I left suddenly, so everyone should at least know where I’ve gone, right?" Ling Feng laughed.

"Then what are you doing in the Demon Capital?" Zhang He continued to inquire.

Ling Feng pondered, "If you want to know, you should ask Director Han. I’m afraid of getting disciplined if I tell you!"

"Bah, so secretive. I won’t even bother asking then!"

Zhang He expressed disdain and hung up the phone abruptly.

Ling Feng chuckled and didn’t mind, noting that the car had entered the city. He asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"

"About twenty minutes. Upon arrival, Professor Tang will take care of receiving both of you," said the officer in the passenger seat.

Ling Feng responded with an "Okay" and didn’t ask any further questions.

However, after the car had driven through the bustling streets for over ten minutes and unexpectedly entered a university campus, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "Is the research institute inside the school?"

"Sorry, I am not aware of the mission details. My orders were only to take you two to Professor Tang, and that’s all I know," the officer apologized yet remained swift in his response.

Ling Feng also thought that with such a level of secrecy, ordinary people wouldn’t be privy to its contents.

Therefore, he didn’t ask any more questions. When the car stopped, he saw an old man with white hair and glasses waiting by the roadside.

The man appeared to be in his sixties, with a ruddy complexion, dressed in a white lab coat.

Ling Feng and Lin Xue got out of the car, and the old man sized them up with a glance and nodded, "Not bad, very good!"

"Uh, Professor Tang, right? Hello, I’m Ling Feng!"

Not sure what he meant, Ling Feng went forward and shook hands with Professor Tang.

"I’ve heard of you two. You’re both very young, perfect for masquerading as my students. Come with me!"

Professor Tang shook hands with Ling Feng and then turned to leave.

Ling Feng and Lin Xue exchanged a glance, both stunned.

Actually having to disguise themselves as students? Was that really necessary?

However, they quickly understood why, because after entering the building next to them, they found themselves in a very spacious hall bustling with young people, all of whom looked energetic and vibrant.

"This is the research center, also a place for doctoral students to work on projects. There are a lot of people," Professor Tang explained as he walked.

Ling Feng nodded, thinking to himself no wonder the director had sent him here for protection—the situation was a bit complicated!

In his original impression, he thought research institutes should be surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded. It appeared he had thought too much.

Professor Tang was highly respected. Students they encountered greeted him, and would also cast curious glances at Ling Feng and Lin Xue.

They passed through the corridor until they reached a large door, where Professor Tang stopped and pressed the electronic lock on the door.

"Click!"

The door opened, and Professor Tang gestured for them to enter: "Please come in."

"Thank you."

Ling Feng thanked him, pulling Lin Xue along as they went inside.

It was another corridor inside, but with electronic locks on every door, and cameras installed one after another above the hallway. This place finally seemed a bit more guarded.

"This is a national-level bio lab. You two follow me to get changed, and then we’ll go into the cleanroom," said Professor Tang, knocking on a door.

The door opened shortly after, and two young people peered out, "Professor."

"These two are new students. Take them to change into cleanroom suits," he instructed.

"Understood."

The two, a man and a woman, introduced themselves after coming out.

The man was called Liu Tao, and the woman Tang Hong; both were students of Professor Tang.

Afterward, Ling Feng and Lin Xue separated, each going to the changing rooms.

The process of changing clothes doesn’t need to be elaborated upon, but after finishing, Ling Feng looked at his reflection in the mirror and could hardly recognize himself!

The clothes were bulky, and he was wearing a helmet—the level of protection was indeed strict.

So he couldn’t help but complain in a muffled voice, "Is all this really necessary?"

"No way, don’t you know? Our cleanroom is of the highest level. We can’t bring in a single speck of dust, of course, it needs to be strict. Later, we still need to go through disinfection at two more doors!" said Liu Tao.

Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself that he didn’t take such precautions with those seeds even in the Nine Heavens!
