But Li Zhen had a doubt in his heart - "promise" is always untrue, just because a promise from "Fir" is a bit ridiculous to send valuable information to convenience. Even if the lieutenant colonel "has been in contact with Rongshu for a long time", this matter is still not convincing.

Perhaps the two sides had an agreement, and he did not ask much. Once a person has such power as he is now, most of the conspiracies and tricks will become quite ridiculous.

What he cared more about was the information brought by the lieutenant colonel - the latter was talking about something that seemed less important in a rather solemn tone.

The kind of meat people eat.

Rongshu once told him solemnly not to eat meat.

"You guessed it was indeed shipped from the north - from Murmansk." The lieutenant colonel said in a deep voice, "That thing... I always feel like there is a sense of evil spirit."

The lieutenant colonel seemed to be a northerner, with a slightly rough voice. This tone and wording made Li Zhenqing unable to help but remembered when he was a child, "evil spirit". This word was spit out of his mouth, as if the temperature inside the room had also dropped a little.

"The common people say that it is not good meat, but human flesh, which is of course nonsense. But in my opinion, it is indeed not good stuff. I also understand things like genetic engineering - many of the meat products we ate before the war were made by genetic engineering. But now in the north, those people are not interested in doing this. They use meat to exchange for resources for us, but the quantity is too large. I have been in Siberia for more than ten years, and I never knew that the city could supply such a large amount - almost feeding half of Siberia."

"I've seen that thing with my own eyes."

After saying this, the lieutenant colonel fell silent, while Li Zhen and Rongshu did not urge him. The two could see that he seemed a little lost - perhaps the scene he saw that day could still bring him enough impact.

A full half minute later, the Lieutenant Colonel continued: "It's like a building."

"That thing is like a building... more than ten meters high. When I saw it, it was on a shelf and couldn't see clearly what it looked like below. The warehouse where it was actually in could not accommodate it - those people opened the skylight, and the top was filled with glass to let the sun shine."

"Well... it's actually more like a rocket launching tower. You know, that kind of big thing. They cut their flesh from that thing."

Rongshu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "A dozen meters high?"

Lieutenant Colonel nodded.

"I've seen a meat embryo workshop for genetic engineering." Li Zhen hesitated and looked at the lieutenant colonel. "I've seen a whole piece of meat as big as a cow, which was cultivated manually - what are you talking about? "

The lieutenant colonel grinned and shook his head: "I have seen the thing you said, too. What I saw is different from that. The meat in the genetic factory is really just the piece of meat - no bones. Even thicker blood vessels are rare. But what I saw is like magnifying a person's arm hundreds of times!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was talking to himself: "Yes. Actually, what do I think is that it is an arm. It is placed upside down. When I saw it, on the other side of the biceps--"

He gestured on himself, "Just pressing on the ground, the entire surface has been cut off. The blood vessels inside are dense. The arteries and veins are like oil pipelines. When I first saw them, there were a lot of tubes that penetrated the muscles. I thought it was really genetic flesh, and those tubes were used to transport nutrients. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt..."

"Actually those pipes pass into the blood vessels of the arm and draw blood outwards - otherwise, such a thick artery would splash out with bleeding, and no matter how many meters high!"

Rongshu showed a look of disapproval on his face. Obviously, he thought the lieutenant colonel's statement was too funny. A ridiculous premise was that it was an arm of a creature. But the problem was that an arm should have run out of blood long ago, so why do you need any other channel to draw blood?

He wanted to interrupt the other party's narrative and ask more practical questions.

However, he heard Li Zhen's voice: "What does that arm look like?"

Rongshu turned his head and looked at him in surprise. Li Zhen's expression was very serious, as if he was thinking. So he fell silent.

The lieutenant colonel was obviously happy to see the general interested in what he said, so he cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's the appearance of his arms. I want me to say, like us, we have skin, muscles, and blood vessels, but I didn't see if there were bones."

"Is there something between you and it?" Li Zhen asked.

The lieutenant colonel glanced at him in surprise and nodded: "Yes, that thing seems to be in a greenhouse—a thick glass wall between us."

"It's just a glass wall? There's nothing else?" Li Zhen continued to ask.

The lieutenant colonel looked at him in confusion. It seemed that it was indeed the first time the other party heard about that thing, but how could he know...

"Yes. There are some devices connected to the wall, which are very large, so I can't tell what it is. In fact, there is no one inside, it's all mechanical - cutting meat, transporting..."

Li Zhen asked for the third time and straightened his body slightly: "You mean when you saw it, the meat was cut from it? Think carefully, don't miss any details."

The lieutenant colonel paused and looked at Rongshu. No matter how slow the person was, he could see that Li Zhen was quite interested in this information, so the lieutenant colonel hesitated. Everything has a price...

Li Zhen knew what he was thinking. He smiled coldly: "It's better to tell me everything you know. I don't know what agreement you have, but this matter... has little to do with the agreement between you. Well... or someone like you has little to do with the organization. This may be a matter that concerns the fate of the whole world."

This hat is so big - the fate of the world. Such words will make people laugh when they say them from anyone, but the lieutenant colonel knows that he is not facing "anyone" at this moment.

He was stunned for a moment, and his tone became more serious. A thought took shape in his heart, so he asked tentatively in a slightly trembling voice: "Are you talking about... species? Is that species of meat?"

Li Zhen chuckled softly and shook his head: "Just say it - at most, I don't care about these bullshit military governments here."

The lieutenant colonel pursed his lips. He thought about it for a while and continued, "If you want to talk about the details... many of them are not clear now. But the workshop I was working there - cutting meat and transporting it out. There are only two processes there. I looked there for about a minute and cut it dozens of times. The finished product is the kind of meat we saw, which is quite thick and strong."

"That kind of meat piece is ten centimeters thick." Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "You said you cut it dozens of times, just dozens of ten centimeters - several meters. But you said that the whole arm is only ten meters long, so that means..."

“It’s cut and long, just under your nose.”

The lieutenant colonel was stunned and widened his eyes. Then he slapped his knees and said, "Yes! How could I not expect it?!"

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said softly: "It's reasonable."

The lieutenant colonel was not sure what this "reasonable" meant, but Li Zhen asked him a few more detailed questions and he answered them one by one.

Then Li Zhen leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes, waved his hand: "You two can talk."

So after a brief silence, Lieutenant Colonel and Rongshu whispered. Li Zhen was thinking about some incredible and terrible things, and was also listening to these two people talking.

Rongshu did not shy away from him, perhaps because he intended to let him know more information.

Because the military government reached some secret agreement with Murmansk, which was occupied by the Gate of Truth, the two sides actually maintained a limited connection in private - for example, the lieutenant colonel went to Murmansk to observe their production workshops up close. Therefore, the military government knew more about things in the north.

What "Fir and Eagle" needs is information about this. From Rongshu's words, Li Zhen felt that they seemed to be just "preparing for the future" and wanted to know more about the enemy in advance. However, if you want to go deeper, the north just experienced a nuclear explosion, and the losses must be heavy - perhaps they want to take advantage of the situation.

But the fight between the two children may be just for an inconspicuous reason, but if organizations like Fir and Eagle really need to do something, there must be a reason to do it. Whether it is "preparing for the future" or "taking advantage of the situation" as the reason for Rongshu to come here alone and take advantage of the danger.

The two talked for two hours, and accompanied by some slight quarrels, and finally reached an agreement. Li Zhen also knew something he wanted to know. Although Lieutenant Colonel and Rongshu used words at some point quite obscure, this did not prevent him from knowing something behind it through appearances.

For example...the two people in the car.

The two people were very strange. They were tall and strong, but they had different characteristics between their eyebrows and eyes. Among all the creatures that Li Zhen saw, perhaps Qingqing was the most similar to them. But these two people would never be "disciples", they were all too "weak".

In the organization "Fir and Eagle", such people seem to occupy the majority. Rongshu asked about some details in the Murmansk base camp in detail, and paid special attention to the research facilities there. Li Zhen felt that there must be a connection between the two - perhaps the connection between the two people and the Gate of Truth was closer than he thought.

But all these things seemed insignificant in front of the arm that the lieutenant colonel said.

And that thing...he didn't know how to describe it, or how to face it.

Li Zhen realized that if his bold guess was true and verifiable, then...
