Like Chu Xiaojun's attitude, this kind of thing is definitely not something that Xu Ling can convince by just saying a word.

Zhu Talan was willing to believe it, but as the supreme commander of the expeditionary army, he could not speak and do things according to his own wishes, so he could only order observation measures against him.

So Xu Ling was temporarily trapped in the Expeditionary Force's position and was not allowed to go out at will, but he was not restricted from his movements in the camp.

After all, even if it is mutation, it requires a gradual process. At the beginning, the heartbeats faster, then the temperament changes, and finally there will be indiscriminate aggressive behaviors. There is no need to strictly restrict personal freedom.

On the other hand, it is also considered that Xu Ling is the commander of the investigation team, even if he is just placed under house arrest in a certain place, it may cause unnecessary suspicion and thus affect morale.

However, even if he stays in the camp, he doesn't need to do anything. At least he has to go to the command center to test his heart rate and blood pressure twice a day. Once there is a problem, the restrictions may escalate.

The others were full of worries. After all, they fought side by side with him many times and had a good relationship. Moreover, Xu Ling was the only young officer, and even Fu Zheng valued the newcomer. If the worst result really occurred, it would be difficult for everyone to accept it in terms of emotion and reason.

Compared to them, Xu Ling was not panicked at all and just thought he had given him a holiday.

The system gave him some advice, so there was no need to worry too much. He should eat, sleep, and was extremely leisurely.

These days, Xu Ling has been staying in the research site of the investigation team to watch them do experiments.

"Tsk tsk, don't you feel uncomfortable when you see this bloody every day?" He said on the edge of the laboratory bench.

A Jing kept answering in his hands: "I've gotten used to it after seeing too much. Since I came to the expert group of the investigation team, the monsters I've dissected have at least three digits."

"But you have someone in your hands now."

"Orc, I have dissected even humans. If you say this, will the forensic doctor feel even more disgusted?"

“That’s too.”

"Ahem."

At this time, Li Xian, who had been watching, couldn't help but interrupt: "Colonel Xu, can you be quieter..."

His eyes looked at Xu Ling with obvious mistakes, because he was one of the few people who knew the inside story of Bode's Sword, and he also knew very well that the glass box was smashed and the sword was taken out one day.

Although the command center did not notify him of the subsequent processing results, he roughly guessed it.

Xu Ling looked at him squintedly: "Can you be polite? I am your superior!"

Li Xian was not polite at all: "I know, superior, but now it is the first time that the orcs at the level of the military-level are dissected, which is a very important research link."

It was Bode who was lying on the workbench. He didn't know until his death that the unlucky general was plotted against by whom he was.

Xu Ling knew the importance of the matter and would not make any noise. Even if he was stubborn, he would not speak up in cooperation.

He focused on dissection and observed the body structure of the Orc Governor with others.

Although Loji has said that orcs were also humans, judging from the current situation, their bodies have been demonized and become completely different from humans.

Both internal organs and meridians and blood vessels have undergone significant changes, approaching the changes of the monsters.

The researchers used high-definition cameras and text to record the entire anatomy process in detail. When it came to an end, Li Xian finally couldn't help but pull Xu Ling aside and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you? That sword..."

"Don't ask, I can't say it."

Xu Ling cut off the topic. The matter involved himself, and it was no longer a simple research, but was related to the overall situation. In order not to affect morale and widespread panic before the results were achieved, the scope of this matter was limited to the highest level of the command center, and even researchers did not know it.

Li Xian understood and no longer asked, but he also knew the effects of the mutation and looked at him with complicated eyes: "Pay attention to your body, and if you feel uncomfortable, you must say it as soon as possible."

"rest assured."

Xu Ling waved his hand indifferently. Seeing that the anatomy was about to end, he left the place and went to the command center to measure his heart rate.

As soon as I walked in, I got bad news.

"The condition of the orderly officer was deteriorating. Thirty minutes ago, he was furious in the isolation room, smashed a table, and rushed to the gate to try to escape."

"So fast?"

Xu Ling was a little surprised, "The previous mutation cycle was at least about three months, how many days have passed?"

"Well, the mutation process affected by the Balde Sword seems to be faster."

Chu Xiaojun said seriously, "Why are you not worried at all? Brother Zhu is almost worried."

Xu Ling was helpless: "I said there will be no problem, don't you believe it."

He sat next to the measuring instrument in Chu Xiaojun's puzzled gaze, tied his wrist with the sticky belt, and waited for the instrument to read it.

93,91,92,95…

This frequency is slightly faster for ordinary people, but it is normal for warriors. Once a mutant's heartbeat occurs, it will directly break through to around 150 when quiet.

At this moment, Xu Li walked in from outside the door and saw Xu Ling, and said, "Xie Yilang is experimenting with new skills and breaking the volunteer camp of Yuanwang Group. Their people just asked me to complain, and the compensation is deducted from the budget of your investigation team."

"I told him to stay away when he practiced that move, but I still didn't listen!"

Xu Ling's blood pressure rose suddenly and his heart rate rose rapidly.

102,118,123,131…

The others in the room suddenly changed their faces.

OK! You said you won’t mutate!

Xu Ling was in tears: "It's not my business, it's all my fault, it's all Xie Yilang!"

It took him a long time to finally prove his innocence, and then a few days later, he never showed any symptoms that shouldn't have appeared.

As a result, everyone in the command center breathed a little relieved and lifted the confinement order, but they still had to continue to observe. What if the orderly side reacted quickly, he would react slowly here.

But even so, Xu Ling can't delay any more, because there is something very important that he needs to do, contact Luo Ji.

Now, it has been a while since that sneak attack, and the orc barracks have no other reaction except to strengthen their alertness.

This is in line with the situation he and Loji had agreed before. From now on, he would go to the Withering Peak twenty kilometers away from the Pass every day, knowing that Loji had found an opportunity to leave the barracks and meet.

Before leaving the pass, Xu Ling asked the Sword of Bode over, and it was returned to continue researching before, although this could not be accomplished overnight.

With this sword, his combat power can be improved by more than one level. With his strength and various special martial arts, even if a person encounters an orc, he will not encounter any danger.

But Zhu Talan still sent Zhang Yuan to act with him. To be honest, he had to see people alive and corpses alive, mainly to beware of adverse consequences caused by mutation.

Xu Ling doesn't care, many people are not that bored.

After they were ready, the two set off together.

The Withering Peak is rugged and harsh, which is very unfavorable for the large army to march. Therefore, although it is the midpoint of the orcs and the Expeditionary Army camp, no party is willing to take over or reconnaissance thanklessly, so it was agreed to the meeting place here at the beginning.

However, because the agreement was too uncertain at that time, it was impossible to determine the time, so now we can only come to Xu Ling every day to try to see if we can wait.

For three days, let alone the governor, even a monster was not seen. All the monsters that were still alive nearby were captured.

It was not until the fourth day that when I was waiting at the highest point of the Withering Peak, a figure finally came out next to me.

When Luo Ji saw the two, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then stared at Zhang Yuan's fierce face with a little vigilance.
