"Tell me, what's going on?" Lin Fan's interest was also piqued, and even Song Ren sat next to him and waited quietly to listen.
"It's nothing, actually." Wu Yusen shrugged. "When this thing was intercepted by customs, they treated it as a special ancient fossil and even asked the Geological Institute to take a look."
"Haven't I been working with the Geological Institute recently? After they took a look, they felt it met my needs and informed me."
John Woo took a look and found that although it was not covered with thorns like 818, the feeling and color were quite similar.
In addition, the Geological Institute initially determined that the mineral was not a common type of ore. He simply pulled the thing back and sent it to 800.
Anyway, we can find out by testing it in the laboratory.
The ore he sent a few times before, although not the same kind as 818, I heard that they also used it in mechas.
So John Woo sent the item over with the mentality of rather sending it to the wrong person than let it go.
After completing the handover procedures with the laboratory, they found Jin Sichen. Knowing that Lin Fan was eating in the cafeteria, they went over to find him.
From behind, I saw a group of people surrounding him, and Song Ren was attacking Lin Fan... Everyone knows what happened next...
"I don't know if it will be the same this time." Li Chunhua was a little anxious, "But what about shipping this thing abroad?"
As we all know, there are many foreigners who do bad things and secretly transport our antiques and other things to their own countries, and eventually they become theirs.
But I only saw these things online and never encountered them in person. I didn’t expect that I would be so close to them this time and that I would encounter them just like John Woo.
"Where was it originally going to be shipped to?" Song Ren asked with a frown.
"The shipper was from the United States, but after our investigation, we found that his cargo passed through the United States and finally arrived in the United States..."
This level of identity concealment could not be hidden from a high-ranking special agent like John Woo. The whole thing was quickly uncovered.
"So... do they know what this thing does?" Gao Fei also frowned.
"Whether they know or not, it won't change their nature as thieves." Ji Yu said coldly, "I tend to think they do know."
"What do you mean?" John Woo became interested.
"The cuckold from before..." Ji Yu started to speak, but suddenly remembered that Lin Fan was sensitive about this topic, so he paused.
Lin Fan smiled and showed him the new bracelet on his hand. "It's okay, just tell me. This treasure will suppress my fear. Tell me."
Ji Yu glanced at Jin Sichen, and when he saw him nod, he continued.
"Haven't we always wondered where that green turtle came from?" Ji Yu looked at everyone.
Everyone is looking for the origin of the green-armored man, but the information provided by the dead is limited, and no one has been able to find out his origin until now.
"If the stars were transformed by Lin Fan through contact with 818, then similarly, the green turtle must have been transformed by contact with the same thing."
Everyone nodded silently, they had thought of this a long time ago.
"Lin Fan's 818 was fished out of the river and landed where we are, so it must belong to us. But where did the thing that caused the green turtle to transform come from?" Ji Yu asked.
"I originally thought that maybe something similar to 818 appeared in their country. After all, if there's one, there's always another. We have an 818 in the river here, and the world is so big, there's no doubt that there won't be a similar one in other countries, right?"
Everyone continued to nod.
"But after hearing Wu Teqin say they were smuggling things out, I had another idea," Ji Yu said. "Is it possible that they knew about the bio-armor and the function of 818 before us, and that's why they're searching for it all over the world?"
"If, I mean if. The United States discovered the secret of the green turtle earlier than us and started research earlier... I'm not trying to undermine my own prestige, but to be honest, their level of technological development is not weaker than ours at all." Ji Yu shrugged helplessly.
"If they had discovered the secret of 818 earlier and knew how to use it, then the smuggling would have made sense. They knew the value of that thing."
The more they listened, the more serious they became.
"Also, this is only what we've discovered. Are there any that haven't been discovered and have already been shipped out? This is just the United States. Have other countries done similar things?"
After Ji Yu finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.
This matter is simple to analyze, but when it comes to practice, it is extremely confusing.
A year ago, everyone thought that Lin Fan's ability to transform into a star was just an isolated case.
Everyone was so focused on cracking Xingchen's technology and developing their own mecha technology that they had no idea that there might be people like her somewhere else on the same planet, who could also transform into bio-armor.
Until the green turtle appeared...
Even now, they still don't know where Green Turtle came from, nor do they know whether his motives for the attack were personal or if there was an organization behind him...
"Speaking of which..." Lin Fan broke the silence, "When did you guys name that guy Green Turtle?"
The serious atmosphere was suddenly broken.
Ji Yu was stunned for a moment before answering. "It was Brother Li. He kept calling me bastard. I simplified it. I felt like adding one more word would be a waste."
Lin Fan felt it and thought it was quite appropriate, so he gave Ji Yu a thumbs up.
Ji Yu smiled shyly and continued, "Anyway, after the Green Turtle appeared, I felt the situation changed. The battlefield suddenly expanded from 623 to the whole world. And we don't know where the enemy is yet."
Song Ren and Wu Yusen, two former special forces, looked serious and said nothing.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about similar questions, but none of them touched on Ji Yu’s point.
Now Ji Yu's review has opened up a new direction for them.
War is never fun.
Song Ren subconsciously touched his injured knee.
Maybe it was because he was injured in the previous fight with Green Turtle, or because the recent recovery training was too intense, or because his knees had reached their limit... the pain started to appear again.
From time to time, he felt a sharp pain, and sometimes he felt numb... He didn't tell anyone about this.
Ji Yu then presented him with an even more worrying scene. For a moment, he couldn't even think clearly about what to do next...
"Okay, stop worrying." Jin Sichen rolled his eyes at the gloomy faces of the group. "Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. What's the point of worrying now? We can't predict what will happen next."
"Yeah, yeah. Maybe things aren't that bad. In the end, I was just scaring myself." Lin Fan was not used to such a serious atmosphere.
She had never thought of anything like that.
It’s not that she doesn’t have a sense of crisis, but after being enlightened by Jin Sichen, she changed her way of thinking.
To her, these endless worries were just garbage that added to her mental burden.
Thinking about it is useless. It is better to face it directly.
What's the point of thinking? Her brain isn't that smart anyway, so she can't come up with any good ideas.
If you really encounter a situation, don’t think about it, just go for it.
Strike when the time is right.
This is Lin Fan’s way of survival now.
