The Return of Cambrian Period

After seeing Cheng Tianbi, Cong Xia told him about Zhang Qian feeding birds with living people to increase the chance of alien species.

Cheng Tianbi said coldly: "He is definitely not the only one who would think of doing this, but most of them will make people eat animals, so they won't be as crazy as him."

"Zhang Qian's method can be regarded as artificially creating mutants. I don't know if Beijing is also researching and creating mutants. I really can't imagine that a group of smart brain evolutioners like Zhuang Yao gathered together, will do something."

Cheng Tianbi glanced at him: "Are you worried about Professor Cong?"

Cong Xia smiled slightly: "Well, I'm worried. In my impression, he is a very simple scientific research worker, a little rigid, not very interested in anything except scientific research, and knows nothing about human relationships. I don't know how he is doing now. .”

"He is a brain evolution person, don't worry about him, just look at Zhuang Yao."

Cong Xia smiled and said: "That's right, that kid, even if we all die, he will live well. By the way, do you have a personal relationship with my second uncle?"

Cheng Tianbi said: "I was infected by a virus during a mission before, and it was Professor Cong who saved me."

Cong Xia nodded, admiring the wonderful fate in her heart.

At this time, two mutants dragged back two huge bamboos from outside the city. After dragging the bamboos into the community, Tang Yanqiu directed them to make preparations.He was too busy, so he gave Cong Xia the letter entrusted to him by Minglan.

Cong Xia took Cheng Tianbi to see the red panda, and asked Luo Xun for help.

Luo Xun happened to be taking care of a sick cub in the house, and he was quite surprised to see them: "Is there something wrong?"

Cong Xia smiled and said, "I'll take him to see." He pointed to a room full of baby carriages, "Tianbi, how's it going, isn't it fun?"

Cheng Tianbi reached out and poked a panda cub in the car. It was so small that the mice on the street were bigger than it.

Luo Xun said: "Pandas grow very fast. This batch can be released back into the forest in just one month. If it is a mutation, it can be released a little earlier."

Cong Xia said: "Now there are still people who are willing to do this kind of thing, it's really rare."

Luo Xun said with a smile: "I like it, my job is also like this, and I have become a different species with pandas, so I have a destiny with pandas in this life."

Cong Xia said: "I want to find out, are there any troops here in Chengdu?"

Luo Xun sighed: "There is only one artillery regiment left, and it is also because of this regiment, and because we are more united, so the eagle regiment has not been able to touch us so far."

"Can you do us a favor and give something to the artillerymen?"

"what?"

Cong Xia took out the envelope and explained its origin.

After Luo Xun listened, he took the envelope with a heavy heart: "I will definitely hand it over to the head of the regiment for you, but..."

"I understand." Cong Xia said in a deep voice, "Nothing can be guaranteed. Do your best and obey the destiny!"

Luo Xun put the envelope away carefully, and said, "By the way, tell me about your experience in Chongqing. If you really can't stay here anymore, maybe we should consider moving there."

Cong Xia said: "Well, Chongqing is still a livable place."

Luo Xun hugged the panda cubs and patiently nursed them one by one, listening to Cong Xia talk about what they had seen and heard along the way...

People in the community rushed to work all night, and more than 400 arrow shafts were made in two days. After Tang Yanqiu's selection, only half of them were usable. This number made him very satisfied.They tied up the bamboo arrows and tied them to the roof of the car.

When parting, Luo Xun shook hands with Cong Xia: "Thank you for the information, it will be very helpful for us to go to Chongqing."

Cong Xia smiled and said, "We also want to thank you."

Luo Xun said emphatically, "Be careful with Zhang Qian, he is not a person who will keep his promises."

"We know it in our hearts, and you should be careful." Cong Xia shook his hand heavily, feeling very emotional.He has a good impression of Luo Xun, but with such a brutal force as Zhang Qian, their lives are hanging on the edge of a knife. After this farewell, he doesn't know if they will see each other again in their lifetime.

Luo Xun looked at him with a smile: "Goodbye, I hope to see you again."

Cong Xia said solemnly: "I hope to see you again."

They left the community, walked towards the entrance of the expressway, and arrived at the appointed time. Zhang Qian had already brought people there to wait.

There was a barrel of oil at Zhang Qian's feet: "We have tried our best, only thirty liters."

They had expected that Zhang Qian would not honestly take out fifty liters of oil, so they were not surprised.

Holding the gun, Cheng Tianbi walked over.

"Wait, I want to see people."

Tang Yanqiu pushed Zhang Mao's head out of Road Hog.

Cheng Tianbi walked to the oil drum, Zhang Qian stared fiercely, Cheng Tianbi looked calm, didn't pay attention to him at all, took the oil and went back.

Zhang Qian said coldly: "After you have walked ten kilometers, you must release him. If I can't see anyone, you don't want to leave Chengdu."

Cheng Tianbi said: "I hope you keep your promise, otherwise you will end up like those owls."

They poured oil into the Roadhog on the spot and drove off.

After getting on the highway, there were birds following them all the time in the sky. They had noticed it a long time ago, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Zhang Mao yelled, "When did you let me go?"

Zhuang Yao said: "Let him go."

Cheng Tianbi untied the rope and threw him out of the car.Zhang Mao turned into a big owl, impatiently flew up to the sky, and said angrily, "We'll see!"

Tang Yanqiu raised his arrow and aimed at him, Zhang Mao was so frightened that he quickly flapped his wings and flew away.

Cheng Tianbi frowned and said, "Cong Xia's secret will be revealed by him."

Zhuang Yao nodded: "But if you kill him, Zhang Qian will catch up."

"Even if you don't kill him, Zhang Qian might not catch up."

"At least there is a possibility of not chasing him. It's worth a try. If they really want to catch up, it won't be too late to kill him then."

Cong Xia asked curiously, "Is there a difference in flying ability between the avian alien and the avian atavistic?"

Tang Yanqiu nodded and said: "Yes, I can only return to my ancestors to become a human being with the characteristics of a bird. That is to say, my overall body shape is still human. Due to my overweight, my flying ability is not as good as that of aliens. However, I am also evolving. When my body first mutated, only wings appeared, and then the skin could be feathered, and now I have returned to my ancestors to produce claws. If I continue to return to my ancestors, I may be able to evolve the complete characteristics of birds."

Liu Fengyu said: "How come I haven't seen you transformed into a feather?"

Tang Yanqiu blushed: "Because...it's a bit strange."

Liu Fengyu jokingly said: "Didn't you say that men should not pay attention to appearance?"

"That's different, a human being covered in feathers looks weird."

Liu Fengyu propped his chin: "Let's see."

"what?"

"You look like a feather!"

"No."

"Look, let us have an understanding of your strength, you are hiding something, do you not trust us?"

"no……"

"Then take a look." Not only Liu Fengyu, but others also looked at Tang Yanqiu with great interest.

Tang Yanqiu had no choice but to roll up his sleeves. The muscular structure of his strong arm gradually changed, becoming stronger and slender; white feathers grew from the skin, which soon covered the entire arm; the slender fingers also turned into birds The claws are very powerful at first glance; the nails are hook-shaped and very sharp.

Zhuang Yao came over and said, "I'm plucking a feather!" After speaking, he plucked one out bluntly, and put it in his pocket, "I have time to study it."

Cong Xia touched the feathers: "It's quite thick, it keeps you warm, right?"

Tang Yanqiu said embarrassedly: "It will change out when it's too cold, but you can't see it if you cover it with clothes."

Liu Fengyu snorted, "Hero Tang, you are so unkind, you actually hide your strength."

Tang Yanqiu said urgently: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have one."

The two started arguing word by word, but Tang Yanqiu was clearly the loser.Liu Fengyu was keen to tease him, as if he had discovered a new entertainment.Cong Xia gave Tang Yanqiu a sympathetic look, and sat next to Cheng Tianbi to practice.

At night, they camped and rested. Several people gathered around the fire to keep warm. All day long, Bi asked Zhuang Yao: "Where are we?"

Zhuang Yao said: "It is near Mianyang, and we will arrive in Hanzhong soon. According to this speed, we can reach Xi'an in about ten days. At that time, we will have to make a decision." He drew a circle on the map, The location of the circle is - Luoyang, "Should I go straight to Beijing, or go to Luoyang to grab the puppet jade."

The crowd fell silent.

Zhuang Yao said: "If we want to take a detour to Luoyang, all plans must be adjusted and supplies must be re-equipped. So we'd better make a decision in Hanzhong and leave plenty of time for preparation." After he finished speaking, he watched Xiang Chengtianbi.

The composition of their team is very strange. Although Zhuang Yao is a "military adviser", he can often guide the team to the result he wants.But the core of the team is Cheng Tianbi and Cong Xia, the general direction of the team still depends on these two people, and the decision-making power of these two people is a bit like a male leader outside and a female leader inside.Most of the things are decided by Cong Xia.Although Cong Xia is smart, he is not a decisive person. His decisions are easily influenced by various factors. Unlike Cheng Tianbi, he usually doesn't talk much, but he is very assertive. Whenever he says something, others will subconsciously obey.Therefore, such an important decision as whether to go to Luoyang or not is discussed by everyone on the surface, but in fact it is the final decision of Tianbi.

Cheng Tianbi pondered: "I need time to think, and I will give you the answer when I arrive in Hanzhong."

Zhuang Yao shrugged: "Okay, as soon as possible."

Cong Xia didn't speak.His mood is very complicated. On the one hand, he is somewhat resistant to taking the initiative to challenge a team. To put it bluntly, he is afraid; A bold choice.Zhuang Yao was right not to ask his opinion, because he didn't know how to make a decision.He looked at Tang Yanqiu and Liu Fengyu, and asked their opinions with his eyes. As usual, they had no opinion.Liu Fengyu has always been too lazy to spend extra time thinking, and there are too many people in the team thinking; Tang Yanqiu "follows them wholeheartedly" and takes it as his duty to send them to Beijing, and he has no objection to whichever way he takes.This made Cong Xia even more confused.

During the meal, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and everyone didn't say much. After eating, they got into their sleeping bags and went to sleep.

Three days later, they made out rusty writing on a collapsed road sign, showing that they were only two days away from Hanzhong.

Cheng Tianbi has become more and more reticent these days, Cong Xia can understand his feelings, he is rarely so hesitant.Cong Xia thought that when he considered this matter, he was not only worried about their safety, but also took his own mission into consideration.After all, his secret mission is related to national interests, and whether they go to seize the puppet jade is related to their private interests.Once an accident occurs and Tianbi cannot complete the task all day, it is tantamount to harming the national interest for self-interest. This matter can be big or small.If they arrive in Beijing safely, everyone will be happy, but if they can't... I don't know if Cheng Tianbi can bear the consequences, although no one will condemn him at all, because the person who assigned him the task doesn't even know if he is still there. live.But Cheng Tianbi is a very self-disciplined person, he might blame himself.

Cong Xia was even more worried about him when he considered this level.

When Cheng Tianbi was driving, Cong Xia took the initiative to get into the car.Because of the heavy gasoline smell in the car, they took turns driving for two hours each, so there were only two of them in the car.

Cong Xia said: "Tianbi, are you still considering whether to go to Luoyang?"

Cheng Tianbi hummed.

"Are you worried about your mission?"

Cheng Tianbi glanced at him, noncommittal.

"I can understand you. You are more determined than anyone else. This decision is difficult for you. But no matter what you decide, I support you."

Cheng Tianbi's heart trembled slightly: "What about you? What do you think?"

Cong Xia smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not very assertive, if I'm asked to make a decision, I... I still don't dare to make the decision."

Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "The puppet jade... is really attractive."

"That's right, what a great temptation it is to be able to accelerate evolution and improve the strength of the team. But it's also conceivable how strong those who stay by Puppet Jade's side for a long time will be."

Cheng Tianbi's expression was a little stiff, and he said silently: "Puppet... Yu."

Cong Xia sighed heavily: "This kind of jade is really scary. We have already developed a strong desire to possess it just by hearing about it. Those who have owned it for a long time may not want to give it up even if they die."

Cheng Tianbi's gaze became deep, and his hands unconsciously clenched the steering wheel tightly.

Cong Xia looked at Cheng Tianbi, feeling even more uneasy.

After another three days, they arrived in Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is not much different from other cities. It is a scene of ruins, and there are almost no people on the streets.They found a villa and planned to rest here tonight, and try to inquire about gasoline tomorrow.

A crow followed them from the moment they got off the highway until they entered the villa before flapping its wings and flying away.It flew into a room in the south of the city, and the moment it landed, the half-meter-long crow turned into a man.

"I'm back." A middle-aged strong man leaned lazily on a chair, with a beautiful woman sitting in his arms, who was gently massaging his shoulders.

"Brother Liu." The crow man called out respectfully, "They are here."

"Several people?"

"Same as before, five people, one cat."

Old Liu looked around: "Have you been in contact with them before, do you know their abilities?"

A sullen young man stepped out of the shadows. It was Zhang Mao, an owl man from Chengdu.

Zhang Mao sneered: "I know, I sent crows to test their strength."

"What abilities are they?"

"The man who tied me up should be a soldier. I didn't see him use any abilities, he just shot with a machine gun, but he must be a mutant; the one with the bow, he is an atavistic bird, and his arrows are very accurate; there is another The plant aliens will turn into big red petals, emit a foul smell and secrete acidic liquid. I don’t know what kind of plant it is, but it’s a bit troublesome to deal with it anyway; a child is a hearing mutant, that is, he recognized my sound wave. "Zhang Mao gritted his teeth, "Otherwise I wouldn't be caught by them."

Old Liu snorted disdainfully: "Is there another one?"

"The remaining person is the surprise my brother wants to give Brother Liu."

"Oh? What kind of powerful character, so mysterious, is it a brain evolution person?"

"You will know when my brother comes."

Old Liu said coldly: "It's better that this person is really worth it, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing for you to rush to me to cooperate with you because of these five people. Besides, my brother's life was not given for nothing. The strength of these people It shouldn't be weak, if that person is not worthy of my brother's hard work, then don't blame me for turning my face."

Zhang Mao said respectfully: "Brother Liu, don't worry, his ability is definitely what everyone wants. If they go to Beijing like this, and someone discovers that person's ability, there will be a lot of masters in Beijing." , we have no chance."

Old Liu said ferociously: "Those grandchildren in Beijing...is that place for people? There are always waves of self-righteous idiots who think that there is heaven, and they will rush there when they die. It is their luck to die on the road." As he spoke, he touched his left arm unconsciously. The thick arm was severed at the wrist, and the original hand was replaced by a thick iron hook.

Zhang Maoyin said with a smile: "So, let's send them on the road ahead of time."

Old Liu beckoned: "Awu, come here."

"Brother." A lean man walked over.

"Go and test their abilities."

"yes, Sir."

Zhang Mao sneered in his heart. Old Liu obviously didn't trust him, and if he insisted on sending someone to test him out, he would die for nothing.Thinking of Cong Xia's miraculous ability to heal wounds, his eyes shone with greed.

After the five people entered the villa, they were suffocated by the rotten smell that had been trapped in the house for a long time. Two bones were faintly visible on the sofa. No one was in the mood to sleep in such an environment.They had to retreat and spend the night outside the villa.

The temperature at night has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, so sleeping on the ground under the sun is a painful thing. Fortunately, they have very thick sleeping bags.

Abu is the most comfortable at this temperature. His fur is too thick, and he feels uncomfortable in hot weather; Tang Yanqiu is also much better than them. A thin layer of duck down-like down will grow under his feathers. It can play a very good role in heat preservation, coupled with warm clothes, he basically does not feel cold; Cong Xia can use energy to keep out the cold, but he is generally not willing to use it; the person with the worst resistance here is Zhuang Yao. After all, he was underage, his body was thin, and he was almost too cold to sleep at night. Cong Xia could only send energy into his body all the time, and only went to bed after heating his body.

After Zhuang Yao fell asleep, Cheng Tianbi, who was keeping watch at night, asked, "How much energy will you consume like this?"

Cong Xia said: "Not much, much easier than treating wounds."

"It seems that your practice is also very effective."

"Yes, I can feel that my energy has increased every day." Cong Xia wrapped her down jacket tightly and rubbed her hands, "The range of my absorption and release of energy is expanding, and my ability to control energy is also increasing. For example, if the two of us Injured at the same time, I can heal at the same time, this is a matter of every second on the battlefield."

Cheng Tianbi nodded in relief: "This progress is very important."

Cong Xia smiled and poured energy into Cheng Tianbi's body without contact: "Do you feel it?"

Cheng Tianbi felt a warm current suddenly appear in his body, and instantly flowed all over his body, his body became much warmer immediately.

Cheng Tianbi said: "Alright, don't waste energy."

Cong Xia said frankly: "Don't waste it, I'm afraid you will freeze."

Part of that energy dispersed and flowed towards his feet, Cheng Tianbi felt that his numb feet from the cold felt much more comfortable.He knows the hard work of cultivation, and he doesn't want Cong Xia to waste energy on him: "Okay."

"It's okay, just help me see how long this energy can last."

Cheng Tianbi looked at his frozen fingers and urged, "Go to sleep."

Cong Xia looked at the time: "It's time to change the vigil, you go to sleep, I will keep watch for two hours."

Cheng Tianbi patted his head, commanding in his tone: "Go to sleep."

Cong Xia said: "Then call me later." He just stood up when he suddenly felt a wave of energy approaching outside the villa, and he suddenly turned in that direction.

Cheng Tianbi said alertly: "What's wrong?"

Cong Xia said: "I feel that there is..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Tianbi also sensed it, grabbed the gun and stood up, kicked Tang Yanqiu's sleeping bag, and whispered: "Get up."

Tang Yanqiu slept very lightly, quickly crawled out of the sleeping bag, and woke up Liu Fengyu and Zhuang Yao.Holding a longbow, he stood back to back with Cheng Tianbi.

The energy fluctuations were getting closer, and they felt that there were at least seven or eight things coming, and they were very fast.After a while, several black shadows appeared outside the iron gate of the villa, and Abu called out to the black shadows.The light was too dim, and they could barely see that it was a dog-like animal, but the sound was very strange.

Although Tang Yanqiu's eyesight has improved, the distance is still not enough to see clearly. He raised the bow, but he was not sure to shoot.

Those seven or eight shadows jumped behind the big trash can and hid, moving very sensitively.

"It seems to be... a coyote." Cong Xia said, his vision strengthened for a moment, he saw the shape of those things, and guessed based on the cry.The coyote is a species of hyena, which is considered to be the weakest of the hyenas.

"Coyote... Shaanxi should not produce this kind of animal, could it be in the zoo?" Zhuang Yao said softly.

"Maybe."

Cheng Tianbi raised his gun and fired at a dustbin where a coyote was hiding. The sound of the gunshot in the dark night was particularly shocking. The speed jumped away.Tang Yanqiu flew up alone, stood on the outer wall of the villa, and shot an arrow at the shadow, but missed.

In the dark night, pairs of beastly eyes are extraordinarily bright.

"Are they observing?" Liu Fengyu frowned.

"Maybe looking for an opportunity to attack."

Tang Yanqiu kept looking at those coyotes, trying hard to see them clearly, but he didn't notice at all that a thin coyote approached him silently along the outer wall of the villa. Its figure was almost as dark as into one.

The largest coyote suddenly barked, and everyone's attention was attracted by it. The thin coyote suddenly rose from the ground, jumped two meters high, and rushed towards Tang Yanqiu viciously.

When Tang Yanqiu caught sight of the coyote from the corner of his eye, its sharp teeth were already close at hand.

Tang Yanqiu suddenly raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to use his bow to block it, but then remembered something, stopped abruptly in mid-air, and instead sent his arm into the coyote's mouth.

Tang Yanqiu let out a muffled snort, being attacked by the hyena, his center of gravity became unstable, and both of them fell off the wall.When he fell to the ground, he pulled out the dagger at his waist and cut the coyote's throat. The coyote's body twitched violently. Before he died, his teeth were still biting Tang Yanqiu's forearm.

Everyone ran over in a hurry, and Cheng Tianbi forcefully opened the hyena's teeth. At this time, all the hyenas hiding in the dark retreated.

Tang Yanqiu took a deep breath, four blood holes were bitten out of his arm.

Liu Fengyu scolded: "You are stupid, you don't need such a thick bow, feed it with your own arm."

Tang Yanqiu sighed: "Don't let it get damaged in my hands."

Cong Xia wanted to use local materials to absorb the coyote's energy to heal Tang Yanqiu's wounds, but when he sensed it, he suddenly remembered something: "This is just an ordinary coyote without mutation, no wonder we can't feel its energy Volatile was attacked by it."

After healed Tang Yanqiu's arm, he studied the coyote carefully: "It's true that it hasn't mutated, and its size hasn't changed much. So, they planned it in advance? Use seven or eight mutated coyotes to attract it. We pay attention, and then let an unmutated coyote approach us secretly to attack us."

Zhuang Yao said: "There is only one explanation. There is a coyote in it that is of a different species from humans, and it should be the biggest one."

Cong Xia shook his head: "What is the purpose of sending this hyena to attack us? To test our ability?"

"It's possible, just like Zhang Mao used an owl to test us, but this coyote alien is much smarter than Zhang Mao."

Tang Yanqiu caressed his bow carefully, as if he had lingering fear.

Liu Fengyu pouted: "Idiot, the arm is yours, and we don't hurt it."

Several people sat down around the fire, without any sleepiness.

Zhuang Yao took a branch and scribbled on the ground: "We should be targeted by the local gang."

Cong Xia smiled wryly and said: "We are like learning from the West, we have to go through an ordeal when we go to a place. The dangers we encountered in the early days all came from mutant animals. Now the threat of mutant animals to us has decreased, and mutant organizations have risen again. And so they started killing each other."

Zhuang Yao said: "This is a trend sooner or later. Let's search the city tomorrow morning. If we can't find anything, we should leave as soon as possible. To be honest, I have a bad feeling."

"how?"

Zhuang Yao said in a deep voice, "This place is relatively close to Chengdu. For the birds, it will arrive soon. We haven't completely escaped from the pursuit of the eagle group. I still don't feel relieved about Zhang Qian."

"I propose to leave now." Cheng Tianbi said.

Zhuang Yao narrowed his eyes: "Now? You mean..."

"That's right, I've decided. We'll go straight to Beijing instead of Luoyang, so there's no need to stay here. We'll go to Xi'an to resupply."

Zhuang Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled sarcastically: "Well, since you have decided, I believe everyone will have no objection, let's not go to Luoyang, and go straight to Beijing." He stood up, "Then don't waste time , we left here overnight."

Everyone started packing their bags.

After Cong Xia packed her things, she found that Zhuang Yao was combing Abu's legs with an ordinary-sized cat.According to his progress, it is impossible to comb Abu's hair in a month, but this seems to have become a habitual action of Zhuang Yao when he thinks.

He walked up to Zhuang Yao and said in a low voice: "Zhuang Yao, don't be emotional, Tianbi made such a decision for the safety of all of us."

Zhuang Yao glanced at him and asked back, "Do you really think so?"

Cong Xia was stunned: "What do you mean?" Then his expression became serious, "Zhuang Yao, I know you are smarter than all of us combined, but you should never try to provoke me and Tianbi, we I will live and die all the way, I believe in him.”

Zhuang Yao smiled mockingly: "I didn't intend to provoke you, don't think too much."

"Then what do you want to say? In fact, each of us wants to get puppet jade, but we are not as confident in the strength of the team as you are. I am afraid that we will fail near Beijing. In fact, Luoyang is not far from Beijing. Why don't we When we get to Beijing and settle down, if we really need to get the puppet jade at that time, it won't be too late to get it!"

"It's late." Zhuang Yao raised his head, his deep eyes were full of wisdom, "During this time, I've been thinking, if Beijing is really as beautiful as we imagined, why didn't Batman go? Zhang Qian They can fly, why don't they go? Combined with the information we have obtained, I am [-]% sure that Beijing is more dangerous than any place we pass by. And the source of this danger should be the puppet jade. Batman said , The puppet jade has caused a lot of battles, and Beijing is sending people to collect it everywhere. The puppet jade is a blessing and a curse, but one thing is certain, the puppet jade can make us stronger. Being stronger is more important than anything else. Because of the puppet jade It can make people stronger, so there must be many mutants in Beijing and its surrounding cities who have been strengthened by puppet jade. We went, and it is possible to become weak. Do you want to become weak? I don’t want to. Since our destination If it is Beijing, we must have the ability to survive in Beijing, we must occupy a dominant position and occupy the position of the strong. Without puppet jade, we will lose the opportunity from the very beginning.”

Cong Xia was a little shocked. He knew that Zhuang Yao's speech ability was very good, but every time he was easily moved by what Zhuang Yao said.He whispered: "These are all speculations at the moment, but I also think it is really not suitable for us to go to Luoyang now. Batman and his team must be very strong. If we go so rashly, what if we don't come back?"

"They lack two things - natural force evolution and brain evolution, and Beijing is the place where these people gather. This may be the only chance for us to pay the minimum price to get puppet jade. But it's useless to say anything now If you don’t want to go, I can’t force you either.”

Cong Xia frowned and said, "Then what did you mean by that sentence at the beginning?"

Zhuang Yao said calmly, "Aren't you worried that I will provoke discord?"

Cong Xia said honestly: "What you say will not affect my trust in Tianbi, but what you hide from me makes me a little scared. You say, I judge for myself."

Zhuang Yao smiled lightly and threw a bombshell: "I suspect that Cheng Tianbi was a member of the scientific expedition team that went to Golmud."

Cong Xia shuddered and stared straight at Zhuang Yao.

"Moreover, his mission must be related to the earthquake, or even a bolder guess, related to the puppet jade."

Cong Xia's face darkened: "It is true that the earthquake is related to the puppet jade, and it is almost certain that the scientific expedition team is related to the puppet jade, but why do you speculate that he is a member of the scientific expedition team?"

"A lot of details, and the time when he appeared in Yunnan, don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"The scientific expedition team disappeared in Qinghai. I'm afraid they all died long ago. They have nothing to do with Cheng Tianbi."

"What if Cheng Tianbi left Qinghai early because of a certain mission and escaped disaster?" Zhuang Yao looked at him sharply.

Cong Xia clenched her fists: "Zhuang Yao, unless you give me a reliable proof, I can't believe it."

Zhuang Yao tilted his neck, his face was clearly childish and cute, but it revealed wisdom beyond his age, "Why don't you ask?"

Cong Xia's voice was a bit harsh: "I don't know how to ask, and I have no right to ask."

Zhuang Yao shrugged: "That's all I said, believe it or not."

Cong Xia turned and left, he was afraid that facing Zhuang Yao, he would not be able to help asking more questions.

Zhuang Yao planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, some words don't need to be too clear, as long as some seeds are planted, they may germinate.Cong Xia knew it in his heart, so he would not believe Zhuang Yao's one-sided words.In his view, Zhuang Yao will never easily accept his plan being changed, he will not say a word on the surface, he must be planning in his heart how to make Cheng Tianbi change his mind, and for a determined person like Cheng Tianbi to change his mind, he is the best entry point.He cannot be used by Zhuang Yao, even if Zhuang Yao's guess is true, Cheng Tianbi still has a good reason for choosing not to go to Luoyang, and he supports Cheng Tianbi's decision only from the perspective of safety.

Cong Xia felt a bit of a headache. He competed with Zhuang Yao in brain power, just like he competed with Cheng Tianbi in combat power, and he would be defeated without any suspense.Even so, he still has to fight Zhuang Yao with all his strength to resist Zhuang Yao's "brainwashing" of him.

Cheng Tianbi came over, gave Zhuang Yao a cold look, and said in a low voice, "What did he tell you?"

Cong Xia clenched his fist secretly, and said: "He is dissatisfied with our decision not to go to Luoyang, I will enlighten him." This was the first time he had concealed something from Cheng Tianbi, which made him feel guilty.

Cheng Tianbi didn't doubt it: "Don't worry about him, he won't let it go, you have to be careful not to be fooled by him."

"I see."

Cheng Tianbi pondered and said: "Actually, many of Zhuang Yao's considerations are reasonable. When we arrive in Beijing, we may face many powerful forces. It is correct to go to Luoyang, and it is also correct not to go. My current consideration is that we are not strong enough. Why don't we go to Beijing first. When we arrive in Beijing, with the help of Professor Cong, we won't be led by the nose by Zhuang Yao."

Cong Xia nodded: "You are right, I also think we should go to Beijing first."

Cheng Tianbi said seriously: "I have another task, which is to bring you back to Beijing safely."

Cong Xia smiled and said, "I remember."

The group packed their luggage and left the villa.

Far away, a pair of round and bright cat-like eyes watched their every move...

They left the city as quietly as they had come.

After leaving the city, everyone was a little hungry. They planned to start a fire and cook, but the ferns of this generation were so dense that they almost reached their waists. They planned to find a place with shallow grass.

Cong Xia looked down from Abu's body: "Why does this fern grow deeper and deeper, it is almost impossible to see the way."

Zhuang Yao said: "Well, someone needs to go down to find the way, or I might get lost."

Cheng Tianbi slid off Abu and found a dogleg knife suitable for jungle warfare in the car.One of the great advantages of this kind of knife is that it cuts weeds very smoothly.Holding a knife, he groped among the waist-deep ferns for the original high-speed roadbed on the ground.

"This is not the way, it's too slow." Cong Xia and Tang Yanqiu also got out of the car to help.The three struggled to find their way and walked forward with difficulty.

Cong Xia said worriedly: "These mutated ferns... the energy fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger."

"Really?" Cheng Tianbi felt it, "Because there are mutated plants all around, the energy is too dense, unless there are creatures with large energy fluctuations, I can't tell them apart."

Cong Xia said: "I know, your perception of energy is not as fine as mine."

Tang Yanqiu nodded: "The ferns are indeed getting deeper and deeper."

Cong Xia looked at the endless ferns in front of him, they looked so small like little mice in the vast prairie, he frowned and said: "It's getting more and more wrong, no, don't look for a way, think about it first."
