"This brings us to another issue."
"The Negative Electric Rabbit’s genes are unstable; they can expel electricity from their mouths that their bodies can’t absorb."
"But as they age, the unexposed electricity increases. They become like walking bombs; a slight touch can make them explode."
"This causes immense damage to the Western Region’s environment."
"This is the origin of the Negative Electric Rabbit research."
"The Negative Electric Rabbit has a strong reproductive ability, so they can’t be exterminated. When cornered, they’ll even self-destruct to injure their enemies."
Zhang Lingxue seemed to recall some unhappy memories.
"No wonder, this indeed needs to be researched properly. So our experiment’s ultimate goal is not to evolve the Negative Electric Rabbit, nor to increase its internal power storage."
"But to prevent them from easily self-destructing. That’s the focus of the research, right?"
Understanding the purpose of the experiment is crucial; solve the issue fundamentally, rather than treating only the symptoms.
Previously, Zhang Lingxue shared some information that misled Ye Bai. Zhang Lingxue spoke of the Western Research Institute’s targets and directions, not the initial objectives set by the institute.
This is akin to getting stuck in a rut, narrowing the path and limiting the research direction to this scope.
"So our real goal is to study how to prevent the Negative Electric Rabbits from exploding and impacting the Western Region’s ecosystem."
"If possible, to allow the Negative Electric Rabbit to supply some electricity to ensure sufficient power in the Western Region, is that it?"
With layer upon layer of analysis, Ye Bai helped Zhang Lingxue break free from the blind spots set up by the Western Research Institute.
Yes, wasn’t the initial aim to prevent Negative Electric Rabbits from self-destructing?
Why did it escalate to evolving the Negative Electric Rabbit?
Zhang Lingxue was deeply questioning why she was stuck in a dead end.
Oh, the herding Negative Electric Rabbits plan.
A light bulb went off in Zhang Lingxue’s mind.
Due to her lack of data, her intelligence source mainly came from her master’s retellings and some hearsay information.
The herding Negative Electric Rabbits plan was merely a byproduct of the Negative Electric Rabbit research.
This is actually an information cocoon, snippets of information would subconsciously guide one in that direction rather than thinking why do we do that.
If done according to that direction, one might research nothing worthwhile in a lifetime and be led by the nose.
"I almost fell into a pit."
"Luckily, they didn’t give me the materials. If we had seen them, we might have followed their train of thought and be led by the nose."
"Truly insidious, dirty tactics."
Zhang Lingxue, inspired by Ye Bai, gained a new research direction. Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
"Now we need to figure out why Negative Electric Rabbits will self-destruct at a certain age."
"They also self-destruct when evolving. Is there any connection between the two?"
Zhang Lingxue pondered deeply, feeling there must be a link between the two.
The Negative Electric Rabbit Leader glared at Zhang Lingxue and Ye Bai with a menacing gaze, licking its lips as Ye Bai looked tender and tasty.
Under the Leader’s sharp cry, countless Negative Electric Rabbits swarmed toward this direction, revealing their sharp teeth with lightning coiling around their huge buck teeth.
Just then, a soft gasp came from behind.
Ye Bai was about to turn around when he found his body couldn’t move, emitting golden electric arcs all over, feeling numb.
At this moment, the Sunflower King stepped forward; just as it was about to wield a Vine Whip to disperse the Negative Electric Rabbits, golden arcs appeared on its body too.
The creature fell into a state of paralysis.
The Negative Electric Rabbit Leader smirked sinisterly.
The Wood Pet Beast, it was the leader’s favorite.
It loved chewing on Wood Pet Beasts, listening to their screams. Back when those researchers were around, they often released Wood Pet Beasts for it to feast on.
After humans disappeared, it yearned daily for the screams of Wood Pet Beasts.
Just then, the Sunflower King’s petals moved, a fist-sized golden orb fell from its petal and struck the ground heavily.
A loud rumble echoed, and dazzling bright light enveloped all around.
Intense shock waves spread outward from the orb’s center.
As it was about to engulf Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue, two shadows flapping wings rescued them.
Ye Bai looked closely and found it was the Light Goddess Butterfly and the Blood Gu Butterfly; at the moment of the explosion, the Sunflower King was saved by the Light Goddess Butterfly.
And the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm raised its nose proudly, looking quite conceited.
"Light Goddess Butterfly, purify it."
Zhang Lingxue shouted, the milky light landed on the two humans and one pet.
Their paralysis was instantly relieved.
"That was close, almost got done in by the Negative Electric Rabbit."
The Light Goddess Butterfly and the Blood Gu Butterfly transformed into light dots, swarming into the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s body.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm felt a strong wave of fatigue and fell asleep.
"This time, saved by Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, its clone is quite useful."
