Chapter 130: Zerg Invasion 24
As for now, fixing things is the priority.
Chu Yian glanced at Lu Qingyuan, then deliberately walked over to a professor primarily responsible for the sonar and stepped hard on his foot.
“Hiss!”
The professor gasped.
“Teacher, I’m sorry, I didn’t see you,” Chu Yian quickly apologized, her face full of remorse.
“It’s alright, it’s alright.”
The somewhat elderly professor was very easygoing. “If you’re tired, go rest for a bit. Leave the rest to us.”
“Thank you, Teacher,” Chu Yian bowed to him, then sat on a stool not too far from them. Lu Qingyuan pulled up a chair and sat next to her, and the two of them watched the busy scene, quickly exchanging information.
“Professor Liu shouldn’t be one.”
When she stepped on him, the movement was very slight, specifically on his toes. It wasn’t easy to notice, and if he were a Parasitized, he wouldn’t have reacted so quickly.
That was a normal reaction from a normal person stimulated by pain.
“Mm.”
Lu Qingyuan nodded slightly.
This student is very clever.
The fact that Parasitized have no pain was something they had only recently discovered, and she was already using this characteristic to rule out the Parasitized among them.
Using this method too often would attract the attention of the Parasitized, but choosing only Professor Liu ensured accuracy and also guaranteed a completely trustworthy scientific expert for the upcoming sonar repair.
Meticulous in thought, and daring enough to go downstairs alone to catch a Parasitized.
She was so capable, not like a student at all.
Lu Qingyuan was evaluating Chu Yian in his mind when Principal Li suddenly leaned over. “Professor Lu, Student Chu, although this is a special time, as principal, I still need to remind you a few things. Pay attention to the relationship and distance between men and women.”
What?
Chu Yian looked at him in confusion.
Lu Qingyuan also looked at him.
“If you two are dating, keep it low-key,” Principal Li’s voice was even lower. “Although college dating is free, teacher-student relationships still have some impact on campus.”
“Principal, is there some misunderstanding?”
Chu Yian looked at Principal Li, feeling that he wasn’t very bright. She wondered how he got to be principal; was it through connections?
“You two… how could I misunderstand?”
Principal Li pointed to their current posture.
To facilitate quiet conversation, the two were indeed sitting very close.
Lu Qingyuan’s arm was draped over the backrest behind Chu Yian, and their heads were close together, whispering, which indeed looked a bit intimate.
Moreover, Lu Qingyuan was usually cold and aloof, not close to anyone except for his research. Now, not only was he actively approaching Chu Yian, but earlier, when Chu Yian and their elevator stopped on the 18th floor, Lu Qingyuan disregarded his own safety and rushed down to find them.
How old was Professor Lu this year? As the youngest professor in the school, he must be almost thirty.
A late bloomer.
Little Chu is quite something.
Principal Li looked at the two of them; their looks were quite compatible, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was going on between them.
Lu Qingyuan merely gave him a cold glance, his gaze returning to the teachers and students who were repairing the sonar.
Chu Yian looked at Principal Li’s inscrutable smile and pondered for a long time how he became principal. “Principal, are you the main one or the vice one?”
“The vice one,” Principal Li replied.
“Oh.”
Chu Yian nodded. “Your family must be very rich or very influential.”
Then it’s not a big problem.
A vice principal, a school has several, so it’s understandable to have one clueless slacker among them.
Now, the most important thing is the sonar.
The two no longer paid attention to him, their eyes unblinkingly fixed on the sonar repair. They were worried about the Parasitized tampering with the sonar and also feared the Parasitized secretly infecting normal people.
They quickly installed the sonar in an observation room similar to the Fifth Laboratory Building.
The Parasitized caught by Chu Yian was thrown inside, and a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. The Parasitized instantly woke up. When he opened his eyes, a fat, disgusting parasite was clinging to his eyeball.
“Ugh!”
Even after seeing it several times, many people still vomited the moment they saw the Parasitized open his eyes. “This thing is so disgusting.”
The thought that the school was now full of such things made people want to vomit even more.
“Stop looking, turn on the sonar.”
His companion next to him nudged him and said. Under their operation, the sonar began to work.
The Parasitized’s expression began to turn painful, then irritable, upon hearing the sonar’s sound. He covered his ears and began to pound heavily on the observation room’s glass with his fists and hands. Finding no effect, he started destroying the tables, chairs, and instruments inside the observation room.
The sonar’s sound only made him agitated; for a full three minutes, the Parasitized’s head did not explode.
“Is the sonar frequency not adjusted correctly?”
Professor Liu ran over to check the data on the computer.
The data displayed were all the correct settings they had configured. The settings were fine, so the sonar itself must have a problem.
“The sonar needs to be re-examined.”
“Everyone quickly summarize the issues just now and the parts you handled.”
Professor Liu turned to gather everyone, and at that moment, heard two students behind him exclaim, “Teacher, look at this Parasitized!!”
His body was twisting.
His originally normal body, his limbs suddenly twisted abnormally.
His feet and hands curved into an arc that no normal person could achieve, and then he slowly pressed himself against the wall, crawling like a gecko on the wall.
“Teacher, Teacher!”
The young student was terrified and cried out.
Chu Yian and Lu Qingyuan, however, realized that the Parasitized’s target was the sonar hanging above the observation room. Because the sonar had just been moved, it was not embedded in the ceiling but hung on the wall only 2.5 meters from the ground.
This Parasitized was clinging to the wall, but he couldn’t climb very high, falling down after exceeding two meters. However, he kept repeating the action, and his outstretched fingers were getting closer and closer to the sonar.
He couldn’t be allowed to continue!
Just as Chu Yian was about to move, Lu Qingyuan next to her had already rushed over.
He opened the observation room door, reached out, grabbed the Parasitized’s clothes, and pulled him off the wall. The Parasitized fell heavily to the ground; he tried to struggle and attack Lu Qingyuan but was restrained by Lu Qingyuan, who pressed his head to the ground with his right hand, with such force that it almost broke his nasal bone.
Chu Yian rushed in with a five-meter-long hemp rope.
“Teacher Lu!”
Lu Qingyuan took it, and together they tied up Parasitized, taped his mouth, and threw him into the corner of the observation room. The remaining people then entered the observation room to take down the sonar, bring it out of the observation room, and repair it again.
