The dragon was entwined with eerie ghost qi, and occasionally bursts of blue-green flames erupted from its body, making it look like an evil monster from a horror film.
Feng Ruixing immediately knew he was no match for this creature, but he wasn't panicked at all.
Because on the dragon's head sat two figures clad in black robes, their faces obscured by floating red runes.
This attire belonged to the containment officers of the facility!
The two on the dragon's head were naturally Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing. They had ridden the ghost dragon all the way here.
The creature was fast and striking, but offered virtually no comfort.
So by the time they reached the outskirts of Qianhe City, Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing were disheveled, as if they had applied smoky eye makeup.
Therefore, they stopped, tidied themselves up briefly, changed their attire, and then headed to the Foundation's headquarters.
Upon seeing the newly completed headquarters, Wen Wen was slightly amazed. The feeling of this structure was completely different from how it looked in photos.
Most importantly, the headquarters was very sturdy. If a battle between high-level superhumans were to break out nearby, this headquarters wouldn't be easily destroyed by the aftermath.
Wen Wen grabbed Tao Qingqing's shoulder, a blue light flashed around him, and the two appeared before Feng Ruixing. The ghost dragon outside quietly disappeared, having been recalled to the containment facility.
As they traversed, Wen Wen keenly noticed that this spatial transfer felt slightly sluggish.
It seemed the Foundation's headquarters had special defensive mechanisms against space-elemental superhumans, but Wen Wen's level was too high for the mechanism to be effective.
Standing before Feng Ruixing, Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing removed the hoods of their black robes and dispelled the red runes from their faces.
This disguise was merely for show; when communicating with Feng Ruixing, they naturally used their real faces.
After all, Wen Wen was posing as a containment officer sent by the Black Cross to inspect the Foundation's work, and his status was not higher than Feng Ruixing's.
Upon seeing Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing, Feng Ruixing breathed a sigh of relief, as he knew both of them.
Wen Wen had spent some time with him in Qianhe City, and Tao Qingqing had come to help him resolve a problem once.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wen Wen stated the purpose of his visit.
"I believe you already know, our main mission is to inspect the Foundation's situation, screen its high-ranking members, and strengthen the connection between the containment facility and the Foundation."
"To this end, I want to meet with all of the Foundation's senior management as soon as possible."
Feng Ruixing nodded, "After I received the notification, I had already made arrangements. There will be a high-level meeting tomorrow afternoon..."
"That would be best," Wen Wen nodded, then placed a hand on Feng Ruixing's shoulder and whispered, "Hey, I've been out in the wilderness for a long time recently. Are there any good places for some entertainment..."
Feng Ruixing smiled strangely, "No one knows how to have fun better than I do. Today, I'll definitely show you a good time."
Tao Qingqing snorted, and without looking at the two men, followed Feng Ruixing's female secretary.
She absolutely wouldn't follow the female secretary shopping... probably.
Even though it was late at night, Feng Ruixing still managed to find amusement for Wen Wen. Wen Wen once again experienced the kind of happiness the rich enjoyed, which was beyond imagination.
Of course, don't get the wrong idea, they didn't go anywhere inappropriate for minors.
...
Geng Xingshu stood before the mirror, put on a neat suit, styled his flowing long hair, picked up a uniquely shaped briefcase, and walked out of his house with his head held high and chest puffed out.
He was originally just a handicraft enthusiast, fond of making interesting little gadgets.
For example, what looked like a cleaver but was actually a phone case, or what looked like a pistol but was actually a lighter... and other things born out of sheer boredom.
With these small inventions, he had become a minor internet celebrity.
One day, Geng Xingshu had to hold his urine and suddenly had the idea to create something that would allow people to urinate in public.
Don't question the usefulness of such a thing; if Geng Xingshu didn't make useful things, he wouldn't be Geng Xingshu.
He had already figured out how to urinate without taking off clothes, but what to use to hold the urine troubled Geng Xingshu.
In the end, he decided to make a hollow pair of sunglasses to hold the urine. The temples were connected to tubes. Wearing these glasses in summer was equivalent to wearing a liquid cooling device, and the sunglasses could even adjust their color based on how "heated" one was...
Unfortunately, due to poor sealing, the final outcome was quite embarrassing.
But during the testing process, through these glasses, he saw things that shouldn't exist!
It was a semi-transparent worm, over two meters long, floating in mid-air. Its body, like a sea cucumber, had numerous protrusions, and its mouth resembled that of a lamprey.
This incident made Geng Xingshu realize that the world was not as simple as he had imagined, and he began targeted research, which he actually made some progress on.
Unfortunately, some things were not meant for him to see, and he was targeted by the giant worm from the beginning.
That worm was incredibly bizarre. Geng Xingshu couldn't defeat it by any means, and he almost became the worm's excrement.
The one who saved him was the armed forces of the SRS Foundation.
His exceptional talent was discovered by the head of the Foundation's research department, and he was thus appointed as a senior researcher, primarily focusing on developing equipment to combat monsters.
Within the Foundation's research department, there were only three senior researchers like him.
The other two were a materials science expert who graduated from Shenjing University in Huafu, and a physics teacher from Qianhe City University, all highly skilled individuals whom Geng Xingshu wouldn't normally have access to.
Logically, Geng Xingshu, being merely a handicraft enthusiast, wouldn't have the qualifications for a senior researcher position.
However, the head of the research department saw his potential and recognized his talent. And he didn't disappoint the director's expectations. Although he lacked profound academic knowledge, he often came up with ingenious ideas, and his achievements were even more significant than those of the other two senior researchers.
Speaking of which, the head of the research department was a major figure, the renowned biologist Professor Newman from the Golden Eagle Region, an expert of the caliber featured in high school biology textbooks.
Geng Xingshu couldn't fathom why Professor Newman would come to Huafu, an unfamiliar place, to work, and even adopted a Huafu name, Niu Lanshan.
The research institute at the Foundation's headquarters was almost entirely built by Professor Niu Lanshan himself. His workload alone could match that of seven or eight researchers, and he never showed any signs of fatigue.
Geng Xingshu privately suspected that this Professor Niu Lanshan was a superhuman!
