Apocalypse: Moonlight Clan's Survival

Researcher X

Chapter 7

Researcher X

This foreign researcher said that their research institute had long suspected that these animals might have developed intelligence.
After all, when those animals attacked the test subjects together, they were particularly organized, and carnivores and herbivores even cooperated extremely well!
Furthermore, the second group of robots was destroyed midway, not waiting until the very end to be destroyed, so the visual data for the second group was fundamentally incomplete.
What was most astonishing was that the third group of robots was probably destroyed the earliest; in less than a few minutes of engagement between the test subjects and animals, they gloriously perished!
And after the third group, their research institute no longer sent test subjects down the animal path, saying that the loss of robots was too great, and the research institute was running out of capacity, so this project was stopped just like that.
Because the robots were destroyed too quickly, it made their research institute even more suspicious: did these animals know that the robots were collecting data on them?
Therefore, did they attack the robots first?
All of this needed to be verified!
While chatting with this foreign researcher, Cao Shu Tong was still very curious and asked him why he had to tell her these things, considering it confidential information? Wasn't he afraid she would reveal it?
This foreign researcher only sent Cao Shu Tong one word: "No!" after which he dropped the topic.
This foreign researcher also said that the intelligence of these animals was temporarily still a speculation of their research institute; there was no confirmed data yet to support this speculation. However, their research institute had automatically classified these animals as a new intelligent species, and moreover, an intelligent life form that posed a great threat to humanity!
Cao Shu Tong thought about the foreign researcher's words and felt a chill in her heart. If animals truly possessed intelligence similar to humans, would they truly always be subservient to humans?
Could a war break out between humans and animals?
She didn't know, nor did she dare to imagine. She could only intensify her own training!
After listening to what this foreign researcher said, she added several training items herself, including archery and shooting training.
She was fortunate that when she bought things before, the seller was very good, not only providing specialized targets for laser guns but also professional training videos. Now, every day she earnestly studied these videos, striving to make a little progress each day.
She believed that perseverance was victory; in this Eternal Night, perseverance would surely bring rewards!
As for this archery training, Cao Shu Tong learned it as a precaution. She feared that in the future, if energy sources truly became scarce and laser guns faced energy problems, she would still have long-range attack weapons. As for buying guns, no matter how much ammunition was bought, it would eventually run out!
Wasn't she just making preparations?
Every single thing she was currently doing was to improve her own survival rate, to prepare herself to live a better life!
Today, Cao Shu Tong, as usual, opened WildNet and engaged in daily communication with X, just like two bored people chatting online, except the content of their conversations was a bit astonishing.
This X was that foreign researcher.
Cao Shu Tong thought it wasn't good to keep calling him "you, you, you," but X didn't want to tell Cao Shu Tong his name.
With no other option, Cao Shu Tong asked for the foreign researcher's permission and gave him the nickname "X."
From then on, every time Cao Shu Tong sent a message, it would have prefixes like "Mr. X, how are you?"
Of course, such situations were rare, because X genuinely liked chatting with Cao Shu Tong. Every day, Cao Shu Tong herself would reply to X's messages; it was very rare for Cao Shu Tong to actively send messages to X, as she considered herself a listener.
Cao Shu Tong looked at the messages X sent her. The earliest message showed a timestamp of around 2 AM. At that time, she was sound asleep under her blanket, so she couldn't reply promptly.
Seeing these messages, Cao Shu Tong felt it was truly outrageous. She still didn't know how she and X could maintain such enthusiastic conversations through this chatting method?
Their daily rest times never aligned. X would send messages, and Cao Shu Tong would always reply much later, fundamentally unable to answer X's messages promptly. Yet, even so, they could still chat endlessly!
Today, Cao Shu Tong, as usual, received X's messages. She concentrated and saw, as expected, X complaining again. Ever since she started chatting with X, X had been complaining incessantly, complaining every day about his work, his life... without a moment's pause.
In the first few days of chatting with X, seeing X complain non-stop every day, Cao Shu Tong even thought X wasn't living very well!
As a result, from his later words, she understood that X was purely bored, and then complained a bit about the things he encountered, just wanting to complain for fun.
Later, Cao Shu Tong gradually got used to it, watching X complain about his daily activities every day. She was now accustomed to the first thing she did every morning after waking up being to open WildNet and see if X had sent any messages.
Cao Shu Tong saw X open a complaint message today, talking about his colleague, saying that colleague had some mental issues and still refused to give up on a plan.
A plan?
What plan?
Cao Shu Tong felt curious about this plan and wanted to ask. She didn't delay, thinking of it and sending it immediately. She directly sent a message, asking X, what kind of plan was this?
Indeed, the message had been sent, and there was no immediate reply. Thinking of X's usual message-replying habits, Cao Shu Tong directly switched to the livestream channel to see if there were any interesting livestreams!
During this period, although there were no interesting wild animal livestreams, there were still people livestreaming cooking online.
It was just that the cooking ingredients were different, and the operations had some external changes, but otherwise, nothing had changed.
Cao Shu Tong, as usual, clicked open a cooking livestream she was following and began to learn how to cook...
At N City Research Institute, in Laboratory No. 6, Researcher Chen led other researchers in observing the situation among the trees. Currently, it was no longer one researcher watching many videos, but one researcher watching one video.
Because Dog 1, guarding that tree, had discovered fallen fruit, this tree was a key focus of care. Researcher Chen had been watching it continuously, and he had also invited Researcher Liu to assist.
Researcher Chen thought, if Dog 1 was willing to continuously guard this tree without leaving, and the fruit, as soon as it fell, didn't even touch the ground but went directly into Dog 1's mouth, then this fruit must absolutely be beneficial to eat!
However, what specific benefits it had, he truly couldn't see, after all, Dog 1 didn't seem to have changed at all!
Of course, this was just his feeling; he didn't ask if others had any opinions, after all, everyone in this room studied botany.
As soon as Researcher Liu arrived at the laboratory, Researcher Chen immediately led Researcher Liu to the prepared seat, inviting Researcher Liu to review the recorded video there.
After settling Researcher Liu, Researcher Chen immediately returned to his seat to continue his work.
