third rebirth

Ye Xiao didn't hear Jiang Mu's sharp comment, his hand was being held by Ling Chen, and the scorching body temperature of the other party made his ears almost burn.

Putting Ye Xiao's finger on the trigger, and correcting his gesture of holding the gun, Ling Chen approached with a smile, "I saw it, your ears are red, right?"

Ye Xiao felt itchy from the breath of words in his ear, but he was always serious when facing Ling Chen, nodded slightly, and confirmed in a low voice, "Well, it should be red...very hot."

The two were so close, Ye Xiao could feel the resonance in Ling Chen's chest when he laughed, and he couldn't help but curl his mouth while holding the gun.

When Ye Xiao's posture was okay, Ling Chen leaned over again, and said in a leisurely and patient tone, "Don't be so stiff when holding the gun...yes, relax a little...yes, that's it, it's standard...our Ye Xiao Really amazing, very smart, and a quick learner!"

Hearing the last sentence, Ye Xiao's eyelashes trembled - no one has ever praised him so much.So, is this what it feels like to be praised?My heart feels like being swept away by a feather, crisp and itchy.

Seeing that Ye Xiao's side face was also dyed pink, Ling Chen was satisfied.He let go of Ye Xiao's hand and sat beside him, then waved to Jiang Cancan and Jiang Mu who were sitting far away, "Come here, let's have a meeting!"

The four of them sat in a circle, and Ling Chen didn't have the habit of laying the groundwork, so he said directly, "Our old acquaintances, the first, fifth, and seventh groups of the Holy Tribunal have already entered Zone D, and there are 24 people, confirmed to be carrying a large number of weapons. In addition , and three mercenary regiments are also ready to join in the fun and have fun with everyone."

Jiang Cancan began to wipe his baby K57 again with a rag, his wheat-colored skin was tense, and his voice was deep, "One set of five sets of seven?" He snorted, "You Long folded in their hands, no loss. But after they folded in our hands, it’s not a loss.”

The Holy Order is a relatively large mercenary group, divided into elite group, assassination group, and action group from top to bottom.The action group usually performs general tasks, while the 24 members of the elite group are active in the front line of sparring with the second department all year round.Even if they meet by chance, or if there is nothing to do, they greet each other with a few bullets, and the hatred value of both sides is very stable.

Ling Chen continued to speak, "The magnetic field in the D area is unstable, and the detectors are always good and bad, so no matter whether it is against us or the Holy Tribunal, high-tech is not very reliable. If it is true, it will mostly rely on pure force value .”

He continued to order, "Cancan, Xiaomu, take turns driving tonight and go to the third coordinate point. The terrain like a plain is too easy to be a living target."

Jiang Mu nodded, and his voice was usual without ups and downs, "We don't have too many cans and ammunition in stock." Of course, the nutritional supplements can still be eaten until next year.

Ling Chen smiled, handsome and unprincipled, he didn't look like a regular army at all, but like a bandit licking blood on his knife edge, full of publicity and banditry raised in the sea of ​​swords and fire, "Isn't this someone who is eager to send us supplies? Are you here? Three elite groups, three mercenaries, tsk, fat sheep, let's get to know it."

He looked down at Ye Xiao who was obediently holding a long knife beside him, "Our Ye Xiao's sugar also needs to be replenished."

When Ye Xiao heard Ling Chen mentioning himself, he nodded cooperatively, "Yeah!"

Before leaving, Jiang Cancan was reluctant to part with the fish in this lake, and plunged into the water to catch a few of them, kept them in a container, and stared at the fish along the way. Smirking contentedly.

Just after dawn, the armored vehicle drove near the third coordinate point.There are hills on three sides, dense vegetation, suitable for both offense and defense.

The temperature was low in the morning, and Ye Xiao subconsciously slept soundly next to Ling Chen, the natural oven.He rested his head on the opponent's shoulder, put one leg on it, and still tightly clutched Ling Chen's clothes.

Ling Chen held the man in his arms with one hand, and was looking at the map with the other hand.Jiang Mu entered the rear compartment from the driver's cab without saying a word.

After covering Ye Xiao's ears, Ling Chen said, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Mu lowered his voice, "The third coordinate point is very strange."

Seeing Ye Xiao not letting go of his clothes, Ling Chen simply took off his coat and let him continue to sleep, and he and Jiang Mu went outside the carriage together.

In the early morning mist, looking at the deserted buildings in front of him from a distance, Ling Chen narrowed his sharp eyes, "It's really strange."

It was an abandoned building, three stories high, and all the bricks on the exterior walls had peeled off, leaving only mottled walls.The exposed metal frame was completely corroded, and it would not fall off in the wind, making a "squeak" sound from time to time.

Jiang Mu also stared at the abandoned building, "This kind of building is in the style of more than ten years ago."

Ling Chen nodded, he understood what Jiang Mu meant—it has only been four years since the Noah system was put into use.Area D was only discovered two years ago.

Not to mention how long this building has been built, why it suddenly appeared in the barren mountains, just because there are no people and no tools and materials in District D, it is enough to make people wonder-who built this building?And how was it built?

There was light footsteps coming from behind, Ling Chen heard it, and turned around to ask, "Are you awake?"

Ye Xiao yawned and jumped out of the rear compartment, Ling Chen's black combat uniform was still wrapped around his body, which was a bit long.He also saw the dusty buildings in the distance, "Where is the third coordinate point?"

Jiang Mu replied: "Yes, it's in that building."

Ye Xiao nodded, and said without beginning or end, "I know how that building came about."

Ling Chen looked at him, "You know?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiao tightened his coat and recalled carefully, "The world of Noah's system is constructed by replicating the real world one by one, and it has everything in the real world. And area D, usually It is a random copy of the existence in the real world, there is no law."

Jiang Mu quickly understood, "So the woods we were in before had conifers and broad leaves. In the lake where Cancan catches fish, there are saltwater fish and freshwater fish. These are all due to the randomness of replication, so there is no logic and the law?"

"Yes, this is random copying with no rules." Ye Xiao nodded, "This building should be the same, a random copying of a certain building in the real world, without any supporting facilities."

Ling Chen didn't ask him how he knew this, he just woke up Jiang Cancan, drove the car, and parked cautiously in front of the gate of the building.

Jiang Cancan had already woken up. He was carrying the K57 with a tube of nutrition in his mouth. He stepped forward first, and pushed aside the creeper attached to the mottled outer wall, revealing a metal plate with printed words.

"737... Institute of Biotechnology?" Jiang Cancan went back to report and found, "Looking at the words on the metal plate, this ghost place should have been built 24 years ago, when the environment in the real world began to deteriorate."

He patted his lengthened board, "But, is 737 the number of the research institute? Master Can, I get a headache every time I see these abandoned biological research institutes. God knows what kind of mess is inside!"

Jiang Mu moved his gaze from the monitor to look at him, "Don't place flags indiscriminately, it will slap your face."

Jiang Cancan quickly covered her mouth, not daring to speak.

Jiang Mu looked at Ling Chen, "Scanned the entire building, three floors above ground and three floors underground. The third floor is the accommodation area and canteen, the second floor is the specimen showroom and archives, and the first floor has nothing. The main part of the institute is The facilities are concentrated underground. The first and second floors are laboratories, and the third floor is energy supply equipment and underground pipelines."

Ling Chen asked: "Where is the coordinate point where the detector is placed?"

Jiang Mu: "The middle position on the negative third floor."

"Okay." Ling Chen quickly made a decision, "First go to the second floor to see what the main research of this institute is, then go down to the ground and get closer to the target location. Don't get lost."

Four people stepped up the steps, and Jiang Cancan walked in the front to open the way. He kicked directly at the locked black door, and with a "bang", he successfully opened the door violently.

The power system was broken, it was dark inside, and the air was full of stale smells.Each of the four people held a flashlight in their hands. The light on the first floor was very poor, and the light from the flashlight swept over, but nothing was left.Jiang Cancan followed Jiang Mu's instructions to find the stairs and walked to the second floor.

"Master Can, my illusion? Why do you feel so cold? And has this institute been robbed? Look, the potted plants at the corner of the stairs are all broken, and the walls are obviously splashed with blood." He shook the flashlight in his hand, "I always feel like I am traveling through a supernatural scene!"

Holding the gun in his right hand, Ling Chen asked Ye Xiao, "Are you scared?"

Ye Xiao shook his head, "Not afraid."

Ling Chen smiled, and asked again, "Then, is Ye Xiao afraid of ghosts?"

Ye Xiao still shook his head, and replied seriously, "I'm more afraid of people than ghosts."

After brushing his hair twice, Ling Chen didn't ask any more questions, and pinched the delicate skin of the nape of his neck, "I'm here, don't be afraid of anything."

After successfully reaching the second floor and finding the archives room, Jiang Cancan opened the door twice, and the accumulated dust shook off the door frame, covering him.

After roughly observing the layout inside, the rows of wooden bookshelves are full of yellowed paper books. There are nearly ten computers on the long oval table, and a glass cabinet as high as the ceiling stands next to the table. There are bound documents inside, and there are hundreds of them by visual inspection, all of which are yellowed.

To be cautious, Ling Chen touched the gloves and put them on. Seeing Ye Xiao staring at his hands, he asked him, "You want to wear them too? Go back and find a pair for you."

Ye Xiao shook his head, "You look good on it." Seeing the gloves, he just remembered the first time he saw Ling Chen.

Opening the glass cabinet, Ling Chen frowned after turning two pages, "This institute is for genetic research."

Jiang Cancan cursed "grass" in a low voice.

More than [-] years ago, the living circle of human beings was continuously compressed, and natural disasters were so frequent that one minor disaster occurred in three days and one major disaster occurred in five days.At that time, someone suggested that in order to adapt to the changing natural environment, human beings should also change.Tracing back to the source is to change people's genes.

Life and death will always make people selectively forget legal ethics. At that time, countless biological research institutes appeared one after another, and began to use humans and animals to conduct genetic experiments on a large scale, which was almost crazy.This phenomenon, in official records, is known as the "genetic improvement movement".

But after nearly ten years of tossing, except for various failures, no valuable research results have been obtained.

Jiang Cancan used to go on missions with Ling Chen, and also destroyed an illegal research institute, and his memory is very bad, but now he gets goosebumps when he hears the words "genetic research", "Brother Chen, what kind of research is this place doing? "

"Gene fusion and improvement." Ling Chen glanced at the ten lines, looked quickly, and concluded, "It is to fuse the genes of animals with those of humans, so that humans have some characteristics of animals, so as to improve their ability to adapt to the environment." He stared at the file. The photos in the folder, his eyes also sank.

Ye Xiao leaned over curiously and took a look. The photo showed a boy lying on the ground with vertical pupils, his body was covered with fur, and there was a long and slender tail under the tailbone, but it might be that his physical characteristics were not well fused. It looks very misshapen.

A cross was drawn on the back of the photo, and the word "abandoned" was written.

Ling Chen stretched out his hand and pressed Ye Xiao's head into his arms, "Be good, don't look, it will pollute your eyes."

Ye Xiao didn't struggle, so he stopped watching if he didn't.

After flipping through a few more documents, they all knew what to do and started to walk downstairs.

Jiang Cancan, who was about 1.8 meters tall, grabbed Jiang Mu's sleeve like a pitiful boy, looked east and west, and then approached his younger brother cautiously, "Xiao Mu, you said those gene fusion things... are still in this research institute. ?"

Jiang Mu: "I don't know." Feeling that his sleeves were pulled tightly, he didn't say anything, and let Jiang Cancan pull.

Going down to the first floor, Jiang Cancan was even more timid, "Grass, I saw a file that fused the genes of mantises with humans."

Jiang Mu knew that Jiang Cancan was afraid of insects since he was a child, and he was afraid of all kinds of insects. When he was a child, he was often scared to cry by caterpillars and chased by cockroaches. After hesitating, he reached out and held Jiang Cancan's hand.

Jiang Cancan was full of confidence in an instant, and shouted in his heart: Sure enough, my younger brother is the cutest in the world!

There was no electricity, and the four of them were going to go through the corridor on the first floor and go to the lower first floor from the fire stairs.The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the sound of each person's breathing could be heard clearly.Jiang Cancan swallowed her saliva, "It's scary to walk like this hahahaha, why don't we come chat...haha..."

With another dry laugh, Jiang Cancan quickly removed Jiang Mu and Ling Chen from the list of candidates for chatting, and decided to talk to Ye Xiao.

"Little friend, brother Chen's lifeblood—is the gun useful?"

Ye Xiao always asked him questions, and he answered everything he could, "It's easy to use, and it's very comfortable to hold. But I don't know how accurate my shooting is, and I haven't tried it yet."

"It's no problem, your eyesight is good, and your knife hand is steady after practicing for so long, if you're really inaccurate, it's a big deal to practice more." Jiang Cancan's tone was a little more relaxed, and he smiled, "Kids, look at our brother Chen. You are so nice, if you don't have any organization, you might as well follow our brother Chen."

Ye Xiao asked, "Join the second part?"

"That's right, although Master Can's biggest illusion in my life is that when I was young, I thought that hanging out with Brother Chen was something worth showing off. But I have to say that hanging out with Brother Chen is still very good, at least, fighting If you don't win, let Brother Chen find a place, there is absolutely no possibility of losing! A thief has face!"

Ye Xiao was silent for a few seconds, and his tone was a little low, "There is no organization, but I can't get into the second department." His previous status simply couldn't pass the political review.

Ling Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "I can't get in, so do you want to get in?"

Ye Xiao nodded without hesitation, "Think!"

Ling Chen's voice was loose, "If you want to enter the second part, you don't have to join the army."

Ye Xiao: "Really? Are there other ways?"

Jiang Cancan was also curious—why didn't he know that there was another selection method?Hasn't the second part always mobilized the top soldiers of the army?The demands are astonishingly high.

"Well," Ling Chen turned his head and lowered his voice, "For example, as the wife of the commander-in-chief of the second department."

commander in chief?The commander-in-chief of the second department...isn't it Ling Chen?Ye Xiao's mind went blank, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Cancan was holding back his laughter in pain, his expression was almost distorted, "Brother Wuli Chen is so talkative! Master Can, I am willing to bow down!"

Ling Chen saw that Ye Xiao's ears were getting redder, and the corner of his mouth raised a smile, pulling him towards him, "Arrived on the first floor, comrades, be vigilant for me!"
