The first food stall in the wasteland

"Hello, Miss Shen, we are from the Institute of Biology." The woman opposite stretched out her hand with a polite and polite smile on her lips, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Shen Lu didn't understand the situation, but out of politeness, she shook hands with him obediently.

"Who are you looking for me?"

"That's right, we would like to invite Miss Shen to the research institute."

Shen Lu immediately thought of the pot of shallots in her backyard. Could it be that someone leaked the news and the people at the Institute of Biology knew that she had cultivated shallots? !

But Shen Lu quickly denied it. Not many people knew about her onion cultivation, and Lin Zhou was probably not a talkative person.

The people from the Institute of Biology were looking for her for other reasons.

Could it be that she was discovered when she took the opportunity to peek into someone else's office that day?
Shouldn't be.

If it was because of this, the other party wouldn't use the word "please".

"It's a bit late today, how about I come over tomorrow afternoon?" Shen Lu was still thinking about the ingredients he had just prepared, and saw that the fish was about to be cooked. She really couldn't move if you asked her to leave.

"Sorry, Miss Shen, we know this is very abrupt, but out of responsibility for the survivors, we need your cooperation." The woman spoke politely, but very forcefully.

It means "I'm not asking for your opinion, but informing you".

Shen Lu felt very offended and his delicate eyebrows wrinkled.

What are you doing?
It's not like she was uncooperative, a big hat was snapped off with a click.

Why, if she went to the research institute a few hours late, would the entire Imperial Capital Survival Base be blown up?
However, for the sake of hiding his mission, Shen Lu did not have an attack.

"Okay, please wait for a few minutes, I need to explain something."

It's okay to wait a few minutes, right?

The woman nodded, "We'll wait at the door and leave in 15 minutes."

Shen Lu rolled his eyes without a trace, changed out of his chef uniform, and exchanged a few words with Cai Su.

"I'll spare you the trouble for dinner. Fucheng also needs you to go up and feed him. In addition, Wang Xiaoci and Wang Xiaohui will come over later to deliver things, so you can collect them for me first."

Cai Su nodded and asked worriedly: "Boss, what do they want you to do?"

In Cai Su's eyes, the Institute of Biology is a very mysterious and terrifying existence. After all, the Institute collects exotic animals for research.

Alien beasts are scary enough, but wouldn't it be even scarier if a group of people locked them up for research?
"I don't know, it's probably not a big deal. I'll leave the store to you to take care of it while I'm away."

Shen Lu walked to the kitchen door, remembered something again, and turned around and said, "If I don't come back tomorrow morning, the store will be closed for the day."

Without her, the quality of the dishes cannot be guaranteed. The store's satisfaction rating has dropped below three and a half stars. Shen Lu cannot bear more negative reviews.

Cai Su replied: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Lu left with peace of mind. The moment the door closed, someone narrowed his eyes slightly, with an undercurrent surging in his eyes.

……

I got on the institute's car and had a smooth journey to my destination.

The weather was bad the last time he came here, plus he was tired from running around, so Shen Lu didn't have the time to look at it.

After getting off the car today, Shen Lu took a special look at the building of the research institute.

To put it simply, it is just a few semicircular eggshells standing staggered. Each piece of glass reflects orange light in the afterglow. At first glance, it looks like a few crab eggs.

When it comes to crab roe, Shen Lu thinks of sushi, which he feels is very suitable to make for Fucheng.

Fucheng can eat steamed buns by himself, so naturally he can also get sushi.

Sushi comes with rice and vegetables, and is made into bite-sized portions, which is very convenient for Fucheng to eat on his own.After entering the research institute, Shen Lu took a seat in the conference room under the guidance of the staff.

After serving a cup of tea and a plate of snacks, he asked her to wait.

Shen Lu held the tea cup but did not drink. Her thoughts returned. She was wondering why the institute invited her here.
Not long after, the door of the conference room opened again and Xue Can walked in.

"Captain Xue? Were you also invited here by them?" Shen Lu's eyes widened in surprise.

Xue Can hummed and sat down in the empty seat next to her. The staff who followed also offered hot tea and snacks.

Soon, seven or eight researchers in white coats filed in. They were old and young, male and female. Shen Lu glanced around and did not see Li Qin.

Well, for the time being, she could be sure that the fact that she was invited here had nothing to do with Li Qin.

Among them, a man about 40 years old sat down opposite Shen Lu, opened the folder, and cleared his throat.

"Ms. Shen, Mr. Xue, hello. My name is Lu Zhenxing. I am the leader of Research Group No. [-]. I invited you here today because I have something to ask."

Shen Lu and Xue Can looked at each other. Although they didn't know what the No. [-] research team did, since they were invited here at the same time, it was most likely because of the strange beasts that were sent here last time.

Xue Can consciously took on the responsibility of external communication, sat up straight, and said in a cold tone: "Please speak."

"You sent a strange beast before, do you remember?"

"Remember." Xue Can asked smartly, "Is there anything wrong with that strange beast?"

Lu Zhenxing did not answer Xue Can's question, but continued to ask his own question, "Can you repeat the process of catching it again?"

Xue Can narrowed his eyes, "What on earth do you mean?"

"Please cooperate." A man standing next to Lu Zhenxing said politely, "It is your obligation to cooperate with the investigation."

"Then if I don't cooperate, what can you do?" Xue Can sneered, "Catch me and put me in jail?"

"If you delay our research, you may be executed!"

"Everyone, please calm down. There is no need to quarrel over unreasonable things." Shen Lu spoke up at the right time to stop the two of them from continuing to argue.

There are only two of her and Xue Can, but the Biological Research Institute has no less than a hundred security personnel.

Among them, people with super powers account for more than half.

If they really make a fuss, they will only hold their heads and get beaten.

Shen Lu looked at Lu Zhenxing: "Captain Lu, you have to tell us what's going on so that we can cooperate. You are interrogating prisoners like this, and Commander Xue and I are both uncomfortable."

Lu Zhenxing thought for a while: "It does have something to do with the strange beasts you sent."

"Oh?"

"This kind of strange beast is a new species that has only appeared recently. It may be because it has not been around for a long time. They are basically in their infancy." Lu Zhenxing considered the words, "But the one you sent, after our inspection, It is unprecedented to find that he has passed the juvenile stage, so we will come to you to carefully confirm the details of catching him."

"So that's it." Shen Lu nodded.

"Can you answer my question now?" Lu Zhenxing asked.

"can."

Shen Lu cooperatively recounted the entire process of catching the strange beast, which was basically consistent with what Xue Can said last time.

Tomorrow is the 29th
This month, just like last month, I didn’t take a single day off!
