The Return of Cambrian Period
Chapter 13
Beijing National Academy of Sciences
"Professor Cong! Professor Cong!" A young man rushed into the laboratory like a gust of wind.
"Xiao He, what's the matter?" A man in his thirties raised his head from the experimental equipment. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat. He looked dignified, serious, and full of academic atmosphere.
"Professor Cong, here it is, that..."
"Let's talk after drinking some water." Cong Zhenzhong handed him a glass of water.
Xiao He didn't take the water, but said excitedly: "Professor Cong, a few days after the earthquake, we detected a sudden huge energy fluctuation in the direction of Yunnan, but there was no earthquake."
Cong Zhenzhong pushed his glasses, "Yes, did that energy fluctuation appear again?"
Xiao He nodded, "That's right, it appeared again! It's near Hanzhong, just now!"
Cong Zhenzhong murmured: "It has appeared...the energy that may be the only one that can compete with the puppet jade has finally appeared again. Come on, take me to see it!"
The next day, everyone got up late.
After Cheng Tianbi woke up, he looked at Liu Fengyu who was sleeping deeper than him, and went up and kicked him, "Didn't you ask you to keep watch?"
Liu Fengyu rubbed his eyes, "Drink too much, too sleepy, Xiao Xia, cook..."
Cong Xia agreed and yawned again and again.
Cheng Tianbi said: "I know how to instruct him to pick up dry firewood."
Liu Fengyu curled his lips, "You feel bad, I feel bad for you."
Cheng Tianbi stared at him condescendingly, "Pick up dry firewood."
Liu Fengyu crawled out of the sleeping bag in dissatisfaction, stood up as if he had no bones, and wandered off to pick up firewood.
After Tang Yanqiu got up, he prepared the cooking utensils, ran to the side and punched a set of punches, his whole body was full of energy.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and it creaked when stepped on. Abu was playing on the snow beside him, and Zhuang Yao was writing and drawing on the side, chanting words.
Cong Xia and Cheng Tianbi prepared breakfast silently. He glanced at Tianbi from time to time, thinking about everything that happened these days, mostly with emotion, but recalling it carefully, he felt a little warm. He said with a smile: "Tianbi, what do you want to eat?"
Cheng Tianbi whispered: "Whatever."
"Is it okay to cook mushroom porridge?"
"Row."
As soon as Liu Fengyu came back, he saw the two of them immersed in cooking, one face was tense, the other lowered his head and giggled, he almost laughed out loud, and bumped Cong Xia's waist, "Hey, what are you giggling about?"
Cong Xia touched her face, "Ah? No. Brother Liu, branches that are too long will be broken."
Liu Fengyu threw the branch away and sat down with his legs crossed to rest.
After dinner, the five of them sat down and talked about business.
Zhuang Yao said: "Take out the things, you two, there is nothing to hide."
Cong Xia unwrapped the bandages wrapped around her stomach layer by layer, and a palm-sized piece of dark green jade appeared in front of everyone.
Cheng Tianbi also took out the puppet jade.
Zhuang Yao took a deep breath, his thirst for knowledge made his blood boil, "Let's talk about the puppet jade first." He gently pinched the fingernail-sized broken jade with his fingers, the jade body was black and transparent, without any impurities , is a top-quality jade material, such a small piece of puppet jade can store such a huge amount of energy, so how many puppet jades are there?How big is it?
He picked up the piece of soft metal that wrapped the puppet jade again, "I suspect that this is a metal that has not yet been discovered. It can block such a huge amount of energy and hardly leak out. How dense its molecular structure must be... Huh? "Zhuang Yao frowned.
"what happened?"
Zhuang Yao moved the metal to the side for a certain distance. Suddenly, his expression changed, his whole body leaned forward, and that hand hit the ground with a bang as if he was holding some heavy object.
Everyone was startled.
Cong Xia was surprised: "What's wrong?"
"It's so heavy, pick it up quickly..." Zhuang Yao's face was pale. If it weren't for his too realistic performance, it would be unimaginable. He said that the heavy thing was a metal piece the size of a quail egg.
Cheng Tianbi pinched the metal piece with his fingers, his face changed slightly, "It's really heavy."
Zhuang Yao said: "No, bring the puppet jade here."
Cheng Tianbi put the puppet jade in Zhuang Yao's hands, Zhuang Yao let out a long breath, and the weight seemed to disappear.
"What's going on?" Several people were surprised.
Zhuang Yao shook his arm, "The farther away this piece of soft metal is from the puppet jade, the heavier it becomes. When it is put together with the puppet jade, it is so light that it has almost no weight. It is amazing."
"So amazing?" Liu Fengyu didn't quite believe it. He picked up the soft metal and moved it to the side. Sure enough, as Zhuang Yao said, the farther it was from the puppet jade, the heavier it became, until he couldn't bear it with one hand.
Cong Xia sighed: "There are too many things we don't know."
Zhuang Yao said: "Cheng Tianbi, how did you get it?"
Cheng Tianbi was silent for a while, "I can't say too specific. If I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation yesterday, I wouldn't have taken it out. First, I didn't know it was a puppet jade. There are guesses, but I can't be sure; second, I think you have guessed it, I am a member of the scientific expedition team, I left Golmud in advance to avoid the catastrophe of the earthquake, just to send the puppet jade back to Beijing."
"Then why didn't you fly directly back to Beijing, but went to Yunnan instead?"
Cheng Tianbi said firmly: "Don't ask other questions."
"Let me guess." Zhuang Yao said: "You are a member of the scientific expedition team, and you were ordered to protect the scientists going to Golmud, because they detected a huge energy reaction there through some means. I don’t know, you are just performing your mission. Why do I know? Because when I was in Beijing, the theory of ‘Cambrian Consciousness’ proposed by that man has caused panic in the scientific community. If ‘Cambrian Consciousness’ is really If it exists, it must be affected by some kind of disaster, such as causing earthquakes, tsunamis, global warming, melting glaciers, and volcanic eruptions. These are all ways that the earth can destroy species, just like what happened in history. It is the same in many species, such as dinosaurs. To launch such a disaster, unparalleled energy is required, but if this energy that can subvert the entire planet really exists, where is it hidden? How is it hidden?" Zhuang Yao looked around the crowd, "They studied it for several years. Before I left Beijing, it was said that the man found traces of energy. After another two years, the scientific expedition team went to Golmud, and then there was an earthquake, and everything connected. I thought, 'Cambrian consciousness 'The time has come to check and balance humans, they may just hit the 'start button'."
After Zhuang Yao finished speaking, no one said anything.This kind of conjecture is by far the most tenable, but knowing the truth will not make them feel any better. Instead, they will feel chills all over because of the powerlessness of human beings reflected in this incident.
Human beings with thoughts, wisdom, and emotions are as insignificant and humble as ants in front of the Cambrian consciousness. As long as a certain mechanism is gently triggered, human beings will be wiped out like rats being dumped into molten iron.It took human beings hundreds of millions of years to walk from the sea to the land, and it took millions of years to learn to walk upright, make tools, and slowly evolve wisdom. Then it took thousands of years to establish civilization, knowledge, and science. In order to obtain a stable and prosperous life, after countless generations of hard work, today's prosperous age has finally been developed, and the life of every ordinary person has been blessed by high technology, reaching the top of civilization that species on this planet can achieve.However, all this is meaningless to the Cambrian consciousness, because human beings develop too fast and occupy the living space of other species, and the Cambrian consciousness can destroy all the accumulation and efforts of human beings in an instant!What a tragic and terrifying fact!
The existence of Cambrian consciousness tells them that the ultimate goal of development is not a better life, but merciless destruction!
Zhuang Yao continued: "At the beginning they asked you to bring a small piece of puppet jade back to Beijing early, so you escaped unharmed. As for the reason why you didn't fly back to Beijing directly, but went to Yunnan, I think there are two reasons. First, the puppet jade Jade’s energy leaked, the communication system was affected, and the plane couldn’t take off, so you want to fly to Yunnan; second, Professor Cong predicted that something would happen and asked you to bring his nephew back to Beijing.”
Cong Xia sighed in his heart, Zhuang Yao really can't hide anything.
Cheng Tianbi did not answer.
Zhuang Yao observed the expressions of the two of them, "It seems that the guess is almost inseparable. Then, regarding what happened yesterday, let's talk about the effect of the puppet jade on us."
Cong Xia looked at the puppet jade. For him, the existence of the puppet jade was like a giant standing next to him, giving him a lot of pressure.He couldn't help it just now, and secretly sucked a little energy. When the energy flowed into his body, there was a tendency to flood into the sea. He wanted to pour it into his body, so he was so frightened that he quickly cut off the energy transmission.He tried several times, and found that if he absorbed it like a trickle, it would be safe and he could control himself, but if he absorbed it like yesterday, he would definitely lose his mind again.
Zhuang Yaodao: "I always thought that Cheng Tianbi's cultivation speed was faster than ours, because of his high talent, or the evolution of natural forces. Humans are different from us. Only now do I know that it is the reason for the puppet jade. Although this soft metal is hidden Puppet jade absorbs most of the energy, but nothing can block the energy 100%. After all, there are gaps between molecules, no matter how small, there is no complete and true seal in the world, so Your evolution has been directly affected by the puppet jade, I believe that the blow that was made yesterday, even if a second Zhao Jin stands in front of you, it will not be a cause for fear."
Cheng Tianbi said: "It's also because I practiced too fast, combined with the Batman's statement, and the origin of this thing, that I suspected it was a puppet jade."
"So you don't want to go to Luoyang?"
Cheng Tianbi nodded, "When I suspected that I was wearing a puppet jade, I realized the seriousness of the matter, and I just wanted to return to Beijing immediately."
Zhuang Yao smiled slightly, "I want to ask, besides the members of the scientific expedition team, does anyone else in Beijing know that you are wearing a puppet jade?"
Cheng Tianbi gave him a cold look, "There is no comment on this question, and you don't even think about playing with the puppet jade. As long as I don't die, I will definitely bring it and Cong Xia back to Beijing."
Zhuang Yao said: "I didn't hit... No, I didn't hit you. I didn't dare to steal your things. However, we have Puppet Jade, and Cong Xia, Puppet Jade and Cong Xia The combination of the two gave us almost unlimited power, are you still worried that you will lose? Shouldn't we go to Luoyang and take that piece of puppet jade? With the puppet jade, we have a powerful amulet and energy extraction station. "Zhuang Yao's voice was a little excited, "If we go back to Beijing first, hand over the puppet jade and then go to Luoyang, we won't have this advantage. You know, as long as Cong Xia keeps absorbing energy, we are almost...invincible .”
Invincible!
Hearing this word in everyone's ears, it was like a burning fire that scalded their blood.Invincible, what a wonderful and powerful word.Cong Xia no longer has to look for dead bodies everywhere, he can absorb vast energy from the puppet jade at any time, their injuries can be healed immediately, and the lost energy can be replenished immediately, so it is not worth worrying about how many enemies they encounter in the future.With such a magical treasure, who would be willing to hand it over to others?In fact, there is no need for Zhuang Yao to say that everyone is eager to get a piece of puppet jade that belongs to their team.
Cheng Tianbi was also very excited, but remained calm, "But yesterday Cong Xia absorbed too much and had an adverse reaction."
Cong Xia said: "Yes, I absorbed energy yesterday, reached the first-order critical point, and broke through the second-order in an instant, and then I felt a sharp pain, and was bounced away by the ancient jade."
Zhuang Yao said: "Puppet jade and ancient jade may repel each other, and the intention of ancient jade should be to protect you. Although I don't know what will happen if it absorbs too much energy, it can be inferred according to common sense that a container is forcibly exceeded its capacity. Most likely it will be damaged.”
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "Therefore, absorbing the energy of puppet jade is risky."
Cong Xia hurriedly said: "But I tried it just now. If I absorb it slowly, I can control myself and control the energy intake not to exceed the load of the energy core. This is safe."
Cheng Tianbi frowned, "We can't make a conclusion so early. We don't know much about the puppet jade. This jade is the culprit of the Second Cambrian Period."
Zhuang Yao's eyes lit up, "But only by getting it can a team become really strong, and because of Cong Xia's existence, we can be several times stronger than other teams."
Cong Xia couldn't help but said: "It's a miracle to be able to absorb energy at any time. If there is a puppet jade, everyone will no longer have to worry about getting hurt in the future. Moreover, our collective cultivation speed will be accelerated."
Liu Fengyu whistled, "This thing is awesome. Although I am also in a hurry to go back to Beijing, I hope we can go back as strong people. If I am still lucky enough to find my parents, I will give them the best." life."
Tang Yanqiu also said: "The puppet jade is indeed a rare treasure. If you take a detour to Luoyang, I have no objection."
Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Tianbi, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't deny it, I'm just as excited as you, I'm just worried..." He looked at Cong Xia, remembering that Cong Xia was thrown out yesterday, the puppet jade The value of this is accompanied by a huge risk, and it seems that this risk is only aimed at Cong Xia at present, and he cannot accept that Cong Xia should bear all this for them.
Cong Xia comforted him and said: "Tianbi, I know you are worried about me, but I have tried it. I can control it without directly touching the puppet jade and absorbing it slowly and in small amounts. Although the puppet jade is risky, But its value is worth our risk. Tianbi, you have your mission as a soldier, each of us will respect your mission, and will do our best to protect this puppet jade in your hand. At the same time, we also need a piece of our own Puppet Jade, let us become stronger."
Zhuang Yao added: "Besides, the soft metal has been destroyed, and the puppet jade cannot be hidden. Remember what Batman said, many people are robbing the puppet jade, which proves that they have a way to detect the puppet jade, if we don't Enough strength, even this piece in your hands is not safe. When we have the puppet jade, our fighting power is very strong, but after sending the puppet jade to Beijing? What if someone comes to seek revenge? If someone still believes in the puppet jade Is it in our hands? Will we still have peace? At that time, if we don’t have a piece of puppet jade to defend ourselves, our disaster has just begun, so getting a piece of puppet jade is imminent.”
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Cheng Tianbi finally nodded.He knew that what Cong Xia and Zhuang Yao said was reasonable. In order to save their lives and safety, they needed to get a piece of puppet jade, and they had to get it before returning the puppet jade.
Zhuang Yao said excitedly: "Very good, there is still time to make a plan, and we will make large-scale purchases when we reach Pin'an."
Cong Xia sighed softly, thinking that they would take the initiative to provoke a fight and rob other people's things, he couldn't tell what he felt.
Zhuang Yao said: "The matter of the puppet jade is over, let's talk about the ancient jade."
Cong Xia held Gu Yu tightly, "Zhuang Yao, I won't tell you everything, you must first make me think you are trustworthy."
"I know, but I will guess. First of all, this is why you have completely different energy and abilities from ours."
Cong Xia nodded.
"Secondly, your cultivation methods also come from here, right?"
Cong Xia nodded again.
"In addition to the method of cultivation, it should also involve a lot of other knowledge. It is like a treasure house, telling you the cultivation and use of energy in advance, and saving you in a critical moment. Have you ever thought about the ancient jade? What?"
Cong Xia shook her head, "I have no clue at all."
"Perhaps, the ancient jade is the magic weapon to restrain the puppet jade, or even restrain the 'Cambrian consciousness', because the information it provides you is helping human beings evolve. As for who created such a god..." Zhuang For the first time, admiration and longing appeared in Yao's eyes, "I will definitely unravel this ultimate mystery one day."
Everyone looked at the enthusiasm in his eyes, and they couldn't understand it. This is obviously not something to be excited about. Whether it is Cambrian consciousness, puppet jade or ancient jade, the appearance of these things all indicates the end of human civilization, but Zhuang Yao But it was as exciting as discovering a new world.The brain of a genius is really elusive.
After a rest, they got into the car, got into the car, and got into the cat, and walked to Pin'an.
The first driver was Cheng Tianbi, and Cong Xia also got into the car.
Cong Xia said with a smile: "Tianbi, I know your worries. In fact, I don't want to do many dangerous things. I am timid, but I know we have no way out. More and more enemies are ahead. Wait, we can only get stronger."
Cheng Tianbi whispered: "I understand."
Cong Xia grabbed Cheng Tianbi's hand, "Tianbi, I'm really afraid to see you get hurt, if I just take a little risk, I can have the energy to heal you at any time, this is simply the most cost-effective deal. "
"But I'm worried that what Guyu did yesterday is a warning to you."
"Yes, warn me not to absorb too much energy at one time. After all, my energy core capacity is so large. Only by practicing on my own can I truly upgrade the energy core instead of forcing a breakthrough."
If only this was the case... Cheng Tianbi thought, but the uneasiness in his heart was still getting bigger and bigger.
Cong Xia shook Cheng Tianbi's hand and said with a smile: "Tianbi, I don't want to see you get hurt one day but I can't do anything, it will make me feel even more uncomfortable."
Cheng Tianbi tightened his hands, "I understand." The tightly held hands of the two conveyed a reassuring energy.
"In Pin'an, we have to solve three problems. Gasoline, vegetables, and Tang Yanqiu's arrows. He is our only long-range fireman, and his weapon needs must be put first." Zhuang Yao closed the map and briefly said .
Cong Xia was a little worried, "Will someone in Pinan be able to detect the puppet jade?"
"It's hard to say, we have to be prepared." Zhuang Yao said, "I tried to put the puppet jade back into the soft metal. I tried fire and chemical dissolution, but it was completely ineffective on the soft metal. I can't hide it now. it."
Cong Xia smiled wryly: "I can feel it all the time now, it is too huge, just like a person standing next to a giant, there will be pressure."
"We can't help you with this. When they arrive in Beijing, they must have a way to block the energy of the puppet jade. Speaking of which, Beijing must also have a way to block our energy." Zhuang Yao said here, a little aggrieved, "If you give me The best scientific research resources, I will definitely be able to develop a lot of useful things.”
Liu Fengyu said: "It would be great if our energy fluctuations can be shielded, otherwise we won't be able to hide ourselves in battle."
"That's right. By the way, with the puppet jade beside you, how do you feel when you practice?
"The speed has indeed increased." Tang Yanqiu said, "At least twice as fast as usual."
"Let you see and see." Liu Fengyu waved his hand, and a light yellow object was thrown out of his palm, and it stuck to a thick tree not far away with a "pop", and the light yellow digestive juice quickly spread on the trunk. From the perspective of diffusion, the bark and core of the tree were corroded, and in less than a minute, the tree was corroded into a big hole like a human face. Afterwards, the tree could not bear the weight and fell to one side.The snow on the tree fell one after another, smashing their heads and faces, and the several people sitting on Abu were hit on the head by the thick snow in an instant.
Zhuang Yao patted the snow off his head, gave Liu Fengyu a white look, and Liu Fengyu smiled complacently.
Cong Xia clapped his hands, "That's great, Brother Liu, you've made great progress. Yanqiu, how about you? Have you made any obvious progress?"
"My eyesight and flying ability have improved, especially night vision and dynamic vision." Tang Yanqiu's eyeballs are transparent and beautiful, and these eyes give people an extremely clear feeling, "Before my eyesight It has been evolving slowly, but with the puppet jade, the speed of cultivation has increased."
"It's great, everyone is making progress." Cong Xia was so excited, he looked at Zhuang Yao again, "I've been talking about others for so long, what about you?"
"I spend most of my time thinking, and I don't have much time to practice. However, I have made some progress, such as..."
Liu Fengyu was taken aback, then sat up straight suddenly.
"What's the matter, Brother Liu?"
Liu Fengyu shook his head, "I suddenly couldn't see at that moment just now."
Zhuang Yao nodded, "Just now I took over your optic nerve for a short time, about half a second, but it has already consumed a lot of energy. Manipulating others consumes more energy than fighting by yourself, because everyone, especially It is an energy body, and it has a natural self-protection mechanism, and it is not easy to invade other people's brains."
Cong Xia said: "But at critical moments, being able to control others for even a second is crucial."
Zhuang Yao smiled and said, "Yes, this ability is very suitable for me."
Liu Fengyu rolled on Abu happily, "We should have no rivals now."
Tang Yanqiu said with a smile: "Don't let Tianbi overhear, he should be talking about you."
"What are you talking about? Are you conceited? I'm not saying that because we have him as a god-defying existence. If the evolution of natural forces is as powerful as him, I'm really worried about what Beijing will look like. People like him and Wu You There really can’t be too many people.”
Cong Xia thought of the strength shown by Cheng Tianbi, and felt shocked and proud. Cheng Tianbi was so reliable. He was the strongest one from beginning to end, which made people feel safe.
Zhuang Yao looked at his watch, "It's shift change, Liu Fengyu is going to drive."
Liu Fengyu reluctantly replaced it with Tianbi.
They walked in the white world for almost five days before arriving at Pin'an.They were all a little excited when they stepped into this historic city.
Cong Xia looked at the dilapidated city covered with white snow, and sighed: "When I was in college, I worked for the first time to earn money, so I came to Pin'an to travel, and now this place has become like this...how is the snow here? It’s so big, it’s almost like the Northeast.”
Liu Fengyu shivered from the cold, wishing she could get into Abu's body.
Cong Xia said: "Zhuang Yao, you can stay in the car, you are not resistant to cold."
Zhuang Yao lowered his head and didn't know what he was studying, as if he didn't hear.
Cong Xia had no choice but to send some energy to him, then looked at Cheng Tianbi, "Do you want to go in?"
Cheng Tianbi shook his head, sitting on Abu's body with a calm expression.Cong Xia knew that he was cultivating again, and Cheng Tianbi was the most self-disciplined person, and he would never waste time, Cong Xia felt a little lonely, counting his fingers, sometimes he and Cheng Tianbi did not speak more than five sentences a day.
The five people were busy with their own affairs, and Abu was walking slowly in the snow. A bulging hill appeared in front of the street, which was higher than a person's calf, but it was almost flat to Abu. He didn't pay attention. The paw stepped on it.
"Ah—" A roar came from under them, and at the same time, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared without warning!
Abu let out a "meow" in shock, jumped back a few steps, and yelled at the snowdrift.Everyone was vigilant, such a powerful energy fluctuation must be something powerful.
The snow bag slowly arched, and a thick and long arm covered with dark green wrinkled skin protruded from the snow, which looked like the arm of a crocodile.Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu looked at each other, and both were ready to attack.
The monster crawled out of the snow.It was a three-meter-high giant lizard man. The dark green wrinkled skin covering the whole body looked rough and hard. The strong limbs, thick long tail, sharp claws, and the appearance of the mutant human made the monster in front of him It looks powerful and aggressive.The lizardman shook his huge head, fixed his eyes on them, and then leaned on his waist and cursed, "What are you doing, I'm sleeping, did you step on people like this! Who stepped on me, is it this cat? Almost stepped on my internal organs." It was a boy's voice.
Cold sweat broke out on Cong Xia's forehead, "Are you sleeping on the road?"
"Can't you see that I have a temperature-changing physique? If it's too cold, I will die, so I'm forced to enter a hibernation state. It's not that I want to sleep on the street." The lizard man mumbled and walked aside. , Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly and narrowed his eyes, "That bird man in the sky, why are you pointing an arrow at me, I'm going to be angry."
Tang Yanqiu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his bow.
The lizardman folded his arms and shivered from the cold, "Hey, do you have thick clothes? You stepped on me. You have to apologize."
Cong Xia said: "You can't fit even if you have clothes."
The lizardman said dejectedly, "That's right."
Tang Yanqiu frowned: "Why don't you turn back into a human being? The human body can not only wear clothes, but also maintain a constant temperature."
The lizard man was taken aback, "Yes, I can turn back into a human. Quick, give me some clothes."
Zhuang Yao gave him a look like an idiot, then turned his head away.
Cheng Tianbi took out a set of winter clothes from the car and threw it down.
"Thank you." The lizard man took the clothes, "Hey, don't you have any girls here?"
"No."
The rough wrinkled skin of the lizard man gradually disappeared like the ebbing tide, revealing the smooth skin of a human being, and his figure also shrunk. Cong Xia looked at him in surprise. Although he was unshaven, his eyes were bright and energetic. He was actually a seventeen-year-old An eight-year-old boy, tall and handsome, but carefree in his words and deeds.He quickly put on his clothes, rubbed his hands and said, "Thank you."
Zhuang Yao really couldn't stand his stupidity, and said contemptuously, "When it's cold, don't you turn back into a human being and stay indoors?"
The lizardman shrugged, "I was fighting with someone at the time. After the fight, I found that I couldn't stand the cold, so I was forced to hibernate."
Liu Fengyu asked, "Are you... a lizard?"
"Ah, no, I'm a reptilian throwback."
Except for Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu, the expressions of the other three changed.
They understood why Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu reacted so strongly just now. They hadn't met each other in Chongqing at that time, but Zhao Jin, who was rumored to be extremely powerful, was a crawling atavist. Today, he was finally lucky enough to see the crawling atavist , that majestic and powerful appearance does not look easy to mess with.At that time, those people said that Zhao Jin's skin could not be pierced by ordinary bullets, but now they don't doubt it at all.
The boy rubbed his hands and jumped his feet, "I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Cheng Tian said coldly: "Why should we give you food?"
The young man was stunned, "That's right... Forget it, I'll find it myself." Holding his waist, he walked to a distance, and when he passed Abu, he muttered, "The broken cat almost trampled me to death."
Tang Yanqiu let down his vigilance after the boy walked away, "This boy is even bigger than Zhao Jin."
Cheng Tianbi also said: "The energy fluctuation is also stronger than Zhao Jin."
Cong Xia smiled and said: "Fortunately, he doesn't look like a bad guy, and he was sent away with a set of clothes, but why didn't he have energy fluctuations in the first place?"
Zhuang Yao said: "When animals hibernate, the heartbeat and blood flow will be in a very slow state, and the relative energy may also be in this state."
Cong Xia thought for a while, "It seems that there is no other reason besides this."
Zhuang Yao looked at the sky, "Let's go, the sun is going down soon, let's find a place to rest and eat."
They walked through a street, and suddenly saw a fire in the distance. When they got closer, they saw several bonfires burning in front of a hotel, surrounded by many people.
Abu's huge size quickly aroused the vigilance of those people, and someone shouted at them from afar: "Don't get any closer."
Cong Xia shouted: "We have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask for directions."
"Where are you from?"
"Chongqing." When he met Luo Xun in Chengdu, he found that many people were interested in the situation in Chongqing, saying that they were from Chongqing, so it was easier to open up the topic.
Sure enough, the group of people muttered, "Come here, but that cat can't come here."
"Don't worry, it doesn't bite casually, we let it lie here."
A few people got out of the car and walked over on foot.Abu lay obediently beside Roadhog, flicking his tail against Roadhog's car. It seemed to be addicted to playing, making the car rattle loudly. The sound coupled with Abu's huge size made those people Terrified.
Cong Xia is now in charge of all the team's "diplomacy" tasks. He himself is not a good-spoken person, but compared with the rest of the team, he is already considered the best, so he was forced to work.He showed a kind smile, "Hi fellow villagers."
A burly man said bluntly: "Don't think about our food, be careful or die."
"Don't worry, we won't steal things, we just want to chat with you."
"Want to inquire about the situation in Pin'an? All right, we just want to know about Chongqing as well."
Cong Xia didn't want to waste time, so she briefly explained the situation in Chongqing.
A woman with a fierce temperament said: "Sounds good, why don't we go to Chongqing."
Cong Xiaqi said: "You also want to go to Chongqing? But you are so close to Beijing, why go to Chongqing?"
The faces of those people changed when they heard about Beijing, and there was a trace of fear in the man's eyes, "Beijing is not a place for low-level mutants like us to stay. We all escaped from somewhere."
Cong Xia was surprised: "Why?"
"Because in Beijing, there are only two types of people who can keep themselves safe. One is high-level mutants and their families, the other is military and government officials and their families. No, there is a third type, ordinary people. However, ordinary people live It must be similar to ants, people are too lazy to step on it, and low-level mutants are often reduced to 'food' for high-level mutants."
Zhuang Yao repeated softly, "Food... Could it be..."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice, "Why?"
The man whispered: "The brain evolutionists in Beijing have researched something that can absorb the energy of mutated animals. The absorbed energy can be used in many ways. It hasn't been widely used yet, but some people have already used it. The government will spend money on it." Recover energy at a high price. Think about it, if the mutants in Beijing are exhausted, it must be the turn of the surrounding cities. We are well informed, so we ran away quickly.”
Everyone was shocked.Zhuang Yao's prophecy in Chongqing at that time really came true.
Cong Xia shook her head in disbelief, "Impossible, how could..."
When he mentioned the brain-evolved person in Beijing, the first thing he thought of was Cong Zhenzhong, but his second uncle was a person with a strong sense of morality, and it was impossible for him to develop such a thing to harm people, so he couldn't believe it.
A warm hand rested on his vest.
Cong Xia turned his head and saw Cheng Tianbi's unwavering gaze, he whispered, "It can't be Professor Cong."
Cong Xia's heart calmed down, he nodded, "Well, I don't believe it's him, but the situation is really serious."
Liu Fengyu sighed, "I used to hope that my parents were mutants, and now I hope..." Liu Fengyu's eyes were full of deep worry.
Tang Yanqiu also missed his parents, he patted Liu Fengyu on the shoulder, "We will help you find your parents."
Liu Fengyu glanced at him in surprise, put away his laughter for the first time, and said softly, "Thank you."
Cong Xia asked: "Do you know which brain evolutionist invented the thing that absorbs human energy?"
"I don't know, anyway, it was created by the Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Sciences raises a lot of brain evolution people. It is the place where the world's top intelligence gathers. There are already mutated food and livestock. These are basically solved. What are the new energy vehicles and weapons? In short, they invented a lot of things.”
An old man said: "I heard that these brain evolutionists in the Academy of Sciences are also assigned, and they fight fiercely.
"Professor Cong! Professor Cong!" A young man rushed into the laboratory like a gust of wind.
"Xiao He, what's the matter?" A man in his thirties raised his head from the experimental equipment. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat. He looked dignified, serious, and full of academic atmosphere.
"Professor Cong, here it is, that..."
"Let's talk after drinking some water." Cong Zhenzhong handed him a glass of water.
Xiao He didn't take the water, but said excitedly: "Professor Cong, a few days after the earthquake, we detected a sudden huge energy fluctuation in the direction of Yunnan, but there was no earthquake."
Cong Zhenzhong pushed his glasses, "Yes, did that energy fluctuation appear again?"
Xiao He nodded, "That's right, it appeared again! It's near Hanzhong, just now!"
Cong Zhenzhong murmured: "It has appeared...the energy that may be the only one that can compete with the puppet jade has finally appeared again. Come on, take me to see it!"
The next day, everyone got up late.
After Cheng Tianbi woke up, he looked at Liu Fengyu who was sleeping deeper than him, and went up and kicked him, "Didn't you ask you to keep watch?"
Liu Fengyu rubbed his eyes, "Drink too much, too sleepy, Xiao Xia, cook..."
Cong Xia agreed and yawned again and again.
Cheng Tianbi said: "I know how to instruct him to pick up dry firewood."
Liu Fengyu curled his lips, "You feel bad, I feel bad for you."
Cheng Tianbi stared at him condescendingly, "Pick up dry firewood."
Liu Fengyu crawled out of the sleeping bag in dissatisfaction, stood up as if he had no bones, and wandered off to pick up firewood.
After Tang Yanqiu got up, he prepared the cooking utensils, ran to the side and punched a set of punches, his whole body was full of energy.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and it creaked when stepped on. Abu was playing on the snow beside him, and Zhuang Yao was writing and drawing on the side, chanting words.
Cong Xia and Cheng Tianbi prepared breakfast silently. He glanced at Tianbi from time to time, thinking about everything that happened these days, mostly with emotion, but recalling it carefully, he felt a little warm. He said with a smile: "Tianbi, what do you want to eat?"
Cheng Tianbi whispered: "Whatever."
"Is it okay to cook mushroom porridge?"
"Row."
As soon as Liu Fengyu came back, he saw the two of them immersed in cooking, one face was tense, the other lowered his head and giggled, he almost laughed out loud, and bumped Cong Xia's waist, "Hey, what are you giggling about?"
Cong Xia touched her face, "Ah? No. Brother Liu, branches that are too long will be broken."
Liu Fengyu threw the branch away and sat down with his legs crossed to rest.
After dinner, the five of them sat down and talked about business.
Zhuang Yao said: "Take out the things, you two, there is nothing to hide."
Cong Xia unwrapped the bandages wrapped around her stomach layer by layer, and a palm-sized piece of dark green jade appeared in front of everyone.
Cheng Tianbi also took out the puppet jade.
Zhuang Yao took a deep breath, his thirst for knowledge made his blood boil, "Let's talk about the puppet jade first." He gently pinched the fingernail-sized broken jade with his fingers, the jade body was black and transparent, without any impurities , is a top-quality jade material, such a small piece of puppet jade can store such a huge amount of energy, so how many puppet jades are there?How big is it?
He picked up the piece of soft metal that wrapped the puppet jade again, "I suspect that this is a metal that has not yet been discovered. It can block such a huge amount of energy and hardly leak out. How dense its molecular structure must be... Huh? "Zhuang Yao frowned.
"what happened?"
Zhuang Yao moved the metal to the side for a certain distance. Suddenly, his expression changed, his whole body leaned forward, and that hand hit the ground with a bang as if he was holding some heavy object.
Everyone was startled.
Cong Xia was surprised: "What's wrong?"
"It's so heavy, pick it up quickly..." Zhuang Yao's face was pale. If it weren't for his too realistic performance, it would be unimaginable. He said that the heavy thing was a metal piece the size of a quail egg.
Cheng Tianbi pinched the metal piece with his fingers, his face changed slightly, "It's really heavy."
Zhuang Yao said: "No, bring the puppet jade here."
Cheng Tianbi put the puppet jade in Zhuang Yao's hands, Zhuang Yao let out a long breath, and the weight seemed to disappear.
"What's going on?" Several people were surprised.
Zhuang Yao shook his arm, "The farther away this piece of soft metal is from the puppet jade, the heavier it becomes. When it is put together with the puppet jade, it is so light that it has almost no weight. It is amazing."
"So amazing?" Liu Fengyu didn't quite believe it. He picked up the soft metal and moved it to the side. Sure enough, as Zhuang Yao said, the farther it was from the puppet jade, the heavier it became, until he couldn't bear it with one hand.
Cong Xia sighed: "There are too many things we don't know."
Zhuang Yao said: "Cheng Tianbi, how did you get it?"
Cheng Tianbi was silent for a while, "I can't say too specific. If I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation yesterday, I wouldn't have taken it out. First, I didn't know it was a puppet jade. There are guesses, but I can't be sure; second, I think you have guessed it, I am a member of the scientific expedition team, I left Golmud in advance to avoid the catastrophe of the earthquake, just to send the puppet jade back to Beijing."
"Then why didn't you fly directly back to Beijing, but went to Yunnan instead?"
Cheng Tianbi said firmly: "Don't ask other questions."
"Let me guess." Zhuang Yao said: "You are a member of the scientific expedition team, and you were ordered to protect the scientists going to Golmud, because they detected a huge energy reaction there through some means. I don’t know, you are just performing your mission. Why do I know? Because when I was in Beijing, the theory of ‘Cambrian Consciousness’ proposed by that man has caused panic in the scientific community. If ‘Cambrian Consciousness’ is really If it exists, it must be affected by some kind of disaster, such as causing earthquakes, tsunamis, global warming, melting glaciers, and volcanic eruptions. These are all ways that the earth can destroy species, just like what happened in history. It is the same in many species, such as dinosaurs. To launch such a disaster, unparalleled energy is required, but if this energy that can subvert the entire planet really exists, where is it hidden? How is it hidden?" Zhuang Yao looked around the crowd, "They studied it for several years. Before I left Beijing, it was said that the man found traces of energy. After another two years, the scientific expedition team went to Golmud, and then there was an earthquake, and everything connected. I thought, 'Cambrian consciousness 'The time has come to check and balance humans, they may just hit the 'start button'."
After Zhuang Yao finished speaking, no one said anything.This kind of conjecture is by far the most tenable, but knowing the truth will not make them feel any better. Instead, they will feel chills all over because of the powerlessness of human beings reflected in this incident.
Human beings with thoughts, wisdom, and emotions are as insignificant and humble as ants in front of the Cambrian consciousness. As long as a certain mechanism is gently triggered, human beings will be wiped out like rats being dumped into molten iron.It took human beings hundreds of millions of years to walk from the sea to the land, and it took millions of years to learn to walk upright, make tools, and slowly evolve wisdom. Then it took thousands of years to establish civilization, knowledge, and science. In order to obtain a stable and prosperous life, after countless generations of hard work, today's prosperous age has finally been developed, and the life of every ordinary person has been blessed by high technology, reaching the top of civilization that species on this planet can achieve.However, all this is meaningless to the Cambrian consciousness, because human beings develop too fast and occupy the living space of other species, and the Cambrian consciousness can destroy all the accumulation and efforts of human beings in an instant!What a tragic and terrifying fact!
The existence of Cambrian consciousness tells them that the ultimate goal of development is not a better life, but merciless destruction!
Zhuang Yao continued: "At the beginning they asked you to bring a small piece of puppet jade back to Beijing early, so you escaped unharmed. As for the reason why you didn't fly back to Beijing directly, but went to Yunnan, I think there are two reasons. First, the puppet jade Jade’s energy leaked, the communication system was affected, and the plane couldn’t take off, so you want to fly to Yunnan; second, Professor Cong predicted that something would happen and asked you to bring his nephew back to Beijing.”
Cong Xia sighed in his heart, Zhuang Yao really can't hide anything.
Cheng Tianbi did not answer.
Zhuang Yao observed the expressions of the two of them, "It seems that the guess is almost inseparable. Then, regarding what happened yesterday, let's talk about the effect of the puppet jade on us."
Cong Xia looked at the puppet jade. For him, the existence of the puppet jade was like a giant standing next to him, giving him a lot of pressure.He couldn't help it just now, and secretly sucked a little energy. When the energy flowed into his body, there was a tendency to flood into the sea. He wanted to pour it into his body, so he was so frightened that he quickly cut off the energy transmission.He tried several times, and found that if he absorbed it like a trickle, it would be safe and he could control himself, but if he absorbed it like yesterday, he would definitely lose his mind again.
Zhuang Yaodao: "I always thought that Cheng Tianbi's cultivation speed was faster than ours, because of his high talent, or the evolution of natural forces. Humans are different from us. Only now do I know that it is the reason for the puppet jade. Although this soft metal is hidden Puppet jade absorbs most of the energy, but nothing can block the energy 100%. After all, there are gaps between molecules, no matter how small, there is no complete and true seal in the world, so Your evolution has been directly affected by the puppet jade, I believe that the blow that was made yesterday, even if a second Zhao Jin stands in front of you, it will not be a cause for fear."
Cheng Tianbi said: "It's also because I practiced too fast, combined with the Batman's statement, and the origin of this thing, that I suspected it was a puppet jade."
"So you don't want to go to Luoyang?"
Cheng Tianbi nodded, "When I suspected that I was wearing a puppet jade, I realized the seriousness of the matter, and I just wanted to return to Beijing immediately."
Zhuang Yao smiled slightly, "I want to ask, besides the members of the scientific expedition team, does anyone else in Beijing know that you are wearing a puppet jade?"
Cheng Tianbi gave him a cold look, "There is no comment on this question, and you don't even think about playing with the puppet jade. As long as I don't die, I will definitely bring it and Cong Xia back to Beijing."
Zhuang Yao said: "I didn't hit... No, I didn't hit you. I didn't dare to steal your things. However, we have Puppet Jade, and Cong Xia, Puppet Jade and Cong Xia The combination of the two gave us almost unlimited power, are you still worried that you will lose? Shouldn't we go to Luoyang and take that piece of puppet jade? With the puppet jade, we have a powerful amulet and energy extraction station. "Zhuang Yao's voice was a little excited, "If we go back to Beijing first, hand over the puppet jade and then go to Luoyang, we won't have this advantage. You know, as long as Cong Xia keeps absorbing energy, we are almost...invincible .”
Invincible!
Hearing this word in everyone's ears, it was like a burning fire that scalded their blood.Invincible, what a wonderful and powerful word.Cong Xia no longer has to look for dead bodies everywhere, he can absorb vast energy from the puppet jade at any time, their injuries can be healed immediately, and the lost energy can be replenished immediately, so it is not worth worrying about how many enemies they encounter in the future.With such a magical treasure, who would be willing to hand it over to others?In fact, there is no need for Zhuang Yao to say that everyone is eager to get a piece of puppet jade that belongs to their team.
Cheng Tianbi was also very excited, but remained calm, "But yesterday Cong Xia absorbed too much and had an adverse reaction."
Cong Xia said: "Yes, I absorbed energy yesterday, reached the first-order critical point, and broke through the second-order in an instant, and then I felt a sharp pain, and was bounced away by the ancient jade."
Zhuang Yao said: "Puppet jade and ancient jade may repel each other, and the intention of ancient jade should be to protect you. Although I don't know what will happen if it absorbs too much energy, it can be inferred according to common sense that a container is forcibly exceeded its capacity. Most likely it will be damaged.”
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "Therefore, absorbing the energy of puppet jade is risky."
Cong Xia hurriedly said: "But I tried it just now. If I absorb it slowly, I can control myself and control the energy intake not to exceed the load of the energy core. This is safe."
Cheng Tianbi frowned, "We can't make a conclusion so early. We don't know much about the puppet jade. This jade is the culprit of the Second Cambrian Period."
Zhuang Yao's eyes lit up, "But only by getting it can a team become really strong, and because of Cong Xia's existence, we can be several times stronger than other teams."
Cong Xia couldn't help but said: "It's a miracle to be able to absorb energy at any time. If there is a puppet jade, everyone will no longer have to worry about getting hurt in the future. Moreover, our collective cultivation speed will be accelerated."
Liu Fengyu whistled, "This thing is awesome. Although I am also in a hurry to go back to Beijing, I hope we can go back as strong people. If I am still lucky enough to find my parents, I will give them the best." life."
Tang Yanqiu also said: "The puppet jade is indeed a rare treasure. If you take a detour to Luoyang, I have no objection."
Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Tianbi, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't deny it, I'm just as excited as you, I'm just worried..." He looked at Cong Xia, remembering that Cong Xia was thrown out yesterday, the puppet jade The value of this is accompanied by a huge risk, and it seems that this risk is only aimed at Cong Xia at present, and he cannot accept that Cong Xia should bear all this for them.
Cong Xia comforted him and said: "Tianbi, I know you are worried about me, but I have tried it. I can control it without directly touching the puppet jade and absorbing it slowly and in small amounts. Although the puppet jade is risky, But its value is worth our risk. Tianbi, you have your mission as a soldier, each of us will respect your mission, and will do our best to protect this puppet jade in your hand. At the same time, we also need a piece of our own Puppet Jade, let us become stronger."
Zhuang Yao added: "Besides, the soft metal has been destroyed, and the puppet jade cannot be hidden. Remember what Batman said, many people are robbing the puppet jade, which proves that they have a way to detect the puppet jade, if we don't Enough strength, even this piece in your hands is not safe. When we have the puppet jade, our fighting power is very strong, but after sending the puppet jade to Beijing? What if someone comes to seek revenge? If someone still believes in the puppet jade Is it in our hands? Will we still have peace? At that time, if we don’t have a piece of puppet jade to defend ourselves, our disaster has just begun, so getting a piece of puppet jade is imminent.”
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Cheng Tianbi finally nodded.He knew that what Cong Xia and Zhuang Yao said was reasonable. In order to save their lives and safety, they needed to get a piece of puppet jade, and they had to get it before returning the puppet jade.
Zhuang Yao said excitedly: "Very good, there is still time to make a plan, and we will make large-scale purchases when we reach Pin'an."
Cong Xia sighed softly, thinking that they would take the initiative to provoke a fight and rob other people's things, he couldn't tell what he felt.
Zhuang Yao said: "The matter of the puppet jade is over, let's talk about the ancient jade."
Cong Xia held Gu Yu tightly, "Zhuang Yao, I won't tell you everything, you must first make me think you are trustworthy."
"I know, but I will guess. First of all, this is why you have completely different energy and abilities from ours."
Cong Xia nodded.
"Secondly, your cultivation methods also come from here, right?"
Cong Xia nodded again.
"In addition to the method of cultivation, it should also involve a lot of other knowledge. It is like a treasure house, telling you the cultivation and use of energy in advance, and saving you in a critical moment. Have you ever thought about the ancient jade? What?"
Cong Xia shook her head, "I have no clue at all."
"Perhaps, the ancient jade is the magic weapon to restrain the puppet jade, or even restrain the 'Cambrian consciousness', because the information it provides you is helping human beings evolve. As for who created such a god..." Zhuang For the first time, admiration and longing appeared in Yao's eyes, "I will definitely unravel this ultimate mystery one day."
Everyone looked at the enthusiasm in his eyes, and they couldn't understand it. This is obviously not something to be excited about. Whether it is Cambrian consciousness, puppet jade or ancient jade, the appearance of these things all indicates the end of human civilization, but Zhuang Yao But it was as exciting as discovering a new world.The brain of a genius is really elusive.
After a rest, they got into the car, got into the car, and got into the cat, and walked to Pin'an.
The first driver was Cheng Tianbi, and Cong Xia also got into the car.
Cong Xia said with a smile: "Tianbi, I know your worries. In fact, I don't want to do many dangerous things. I am timid, but I know we have no way out. More and more enemies are ahead. Wait, we can only get stronger."
Cheng Tianbi whispered: "I understand."
Cong Xia grabbed Cheng Tianbi's hand, "Tianbi, I'm really afraid to see you get hurt, if I just take a little risk, I can have the energy to heal you at any time, this is simply the most cost-effective deal. "
"But I'm worried that what Guyu did yesterday is a warning to you."
"Yes, warn me not to absorb too much energy at one time. After all, my energy core capacity is so large. Only by practicing on my own can I truly upgrade the energy core instead of forcing a breakthrough."
If only this was the case... Cheng Tianbi thought, but the uneasiness in his heart was still getting bigger and bigger.
Cong Xia shook Cheng Tianbi's hand and said with a smile: "Tianbi, I don't want to see you get hurt one day but I can't do anything, it will make me feel even more uncomfortable."
Cheng Tianbi tightened his hands, "I understand." The tightly held hands of the two conveyed a reassuring energy.
"In Pin'an, we have to solve three problems. Gasoline, vegetables, and Tang Yanqiu's arrows. He is our only long-range fireman, and his weapon needs must be put first." Zhuang Yao closed the map and briefly said .
Cong Xia was a little worried, "Will someone in Pinan be able to detect the puppet jade?"
"It's hard to say, we have to be prepared." Zhuang Yao said, "I tried to put the puppet jade back into the soft metal. I tried fire and chemical dissolution, but it was completely ineffective on the soft metal. I can't hide it now. it."
Cong Xia smiled wryly: "I can feel it all the time now, it is too huge, just like a person standing next to a giant, there will be pressure."
"We can't help you with this. When they arrive in Beijing, they must have a way to block the energy of the puppet jade. Speaking of which, Beijing must also have a way to block our energy." Zhuang Yao said here, a little aggrieved, "If you give me The best scientific research resources, I will definitely be able to develop a lot of useful things.”
Liu Fengyu said: "It would be great if our energy fluctuations can be shielded, otherwise we won't be able to hide ourselves in battle."
"That's right. By the way, with the puppet jade beside you, how do you feel when you practice?
"The speed has indeed increased." Tang Yanqiu said, "At least twice as fast as usual."
"Let you see and see." Liu Fengyu waved his hand, and a light yellow object was thrown out of his palm, and it stuck to a thick tree not far away with a "pop", and the light yellow digestive juice quickly spread on the trunk. From the perspective of diffusion, the bark and core of the tree were corroded, and in less than a minute, the tree was corroded into a big hole like a human face. Afterwards, the tree could not bear the weight and fell to one side.The snow on the tree fell one after another, smashing their heads and faces, and the several people sitting on Abu were hit on the head by the thick snow in an instant.
Zhuang Yao patted the snow off his head, gave Liu Fengyu a white look, and Liu Fengyu smiled complacently.
Cong Xia clapped his hands, "That's great, Brother Liu, you've made great progress. Yanqiu, how about you? Have you made any obvious progress?"
"My eyesight and flying ability have improved, especially night vision and dynamic vision." Tang Yanqiu's eyeballs are transparent and beautiful, and these eyes give people an extremely clear feeling, "Before my eyesight It has been evolving slowly, but with the puppet jade, the speed of cultivation has increased."
"It's great, everyone is making progress." Cong Xia was so excited, he looked at Zhuang Yao again, "I've been talking about others for so long, what about you?"
"I spend most of my time thinking, and I don't have much time to practice. However, I have made some progress, such as..."
Liu Fengyu was taken aback, then sat up straight suddenly.
"What's the matter, Brother Liu?"
Liu Fengyu shook his head, "I suddenly couldn't see at that moment just now."
Zhuang Yao nodded, "Just now I took over your optic nerve for a short time, about half a second, but it has already consumed a lot of energy. Manipulating others consumes more energy than fighting by yourself, because everyone, especially It is an energy body, and it has a natural self-protection mechanism, and it is not easy to invade other people's brains."
Cong Xia said: "But at critical moments, being able to control others for even a second is crucial."
Zhuang Yao smiled and said, "Yes, this ability is very suitable for me."
Liu Fengyu rolled on Abu happily, "We should have no rivals now."
Tang Yanqiu said with a smile: "Don't let Tianbi overhear, he should be talking about you."
"What are you talking about? Are you conceited? I'm not saying that because we have him as a god-defying existence. If the evolution of natural forces is as powerful as him, I'm really worried about what Beijing will look like. People like him and Wu You There really can’t be too many people.”
Cong Xia thought of the strength shown by Cheng Tianbi, and felt shocked and proud. Cheng Tianbi was so reliable. He was the strongest one from beginning to end, which made people feel safe.
Zhuang Yao looked at his watch, "It's shift change, Liu Fengyu is going to drive."
Liu Fengyu reluctantly replaced it with Tianbi.
They walked in the white world for almost five days before arriving at Pin'an.They were all a little excited when they stepped into this historic city.
Cong Xia looked at the dilapidated city covered with white snow, and sighed: "When I was in college, I worked for the first time to earn money, so I came to Pin'an to travel, and now this place has become like this...how is the snow here? It’s so big, it’s almost like the Northeast.”
Liu Fengyu shivered from the cold, wishing she could get into Abu's body.
Cong Xia said: "Zhuang Yao, you can stay in the car, you are not resistant to cold."
Zhuang Yao lowered his head and didn't know what he was studying, as if he didn't hear.
Cong Xia had no choice but to send some energy to him, then looked at Cheng Tianbi, "Do you want to go in?"
Cheng Tianbi shook his head, sitting on Abu's body with a calm expression.Cong Xia knew that he was cultivating again, and Cheng Tianbi was the most self-disciplined person, and he would never waste time, Cong Xia felt a little lonely, counting his fingers, sometimes he and Cheng Tianbi did not speak more than five sentences a day.
The five people were busy with their own affairs, and Abu was walking slowly in the snow. A bulging hill appeared in front of the street, which was higher than a person's calf, but it was almost flat to Abu. He didn't pay attention. The paw stepped on it.
"Ah—" A roar came from under them, and at the same time, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared without warning!
Abu let out a "meow" in shock, jumped back a few steps, and yelled at the snowdrift.Everyone was vigilant, such a powerful energy fluctuation must be something powerful.
The snow bag slowly arched, and a thick and long arm covered with dark green wrinkled skin protruded from the snow, which looked like the arm of a crocodile.Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu looked at each other, and both were ready to attack.
The monster crawled out of the snow.It was a three-meter-high giant lizard man. The dark green wrinkled skin covering the whole body looked rough and hard. The strong limbs, thick long tail, sharp claws, and the appearance of the mutant human made the monster in front of him It looks powerful and aggressive.The lizardman shook his huge head, fixed his eyes on them, and then leaned on his waist and cursed, "What are you doing, I'm sleeping, did you step on people like this! Who stepped on me, is it this cat? Almost stepped on my internal organs." It was a boy's voice.
Cold sweat broke out on Cong Xia's forehead, "Are you sleeping on the road?"
"Can't you see that I have a temperature-changing physique? If it's too cold, I will die, so I'm forced to enter a hibernation state. It's not that I want to sleep on the street." The lizard man mumbled and walked aside. , Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly and narrowed his eyes, "That bird man in the sky, why are you pointing an arrow at me, I'm going to be angry."
Tang Yanqiu hesitated for a moment, then lowered his bow.
The lizardman folded his arms and shivered from the cold, "Hey, do you have thick clothes? You stepped on me. You have to apologize."
Cong Xia said: "You can't fit even if you have clothes."
The lizardman said dejectedly, "That's right."
Tang Yanqiu frowned: "Why don't you turn back into a human being? The human body can not only wear clothes, but also maintain a constant temperature."
The lizard man was taken aback, "Yes, I can turn back into a human. Quick, give me some clothes."
Zhuang Yao gave him a look like an idiot, then turned his head away.
Cheng Tianbi took out a set of winter clothes from the car and threw it down.
"Thank you." The lizard man took the clothes, "Hey, don't you have any girls here?"
"No."
The rough wrinkled skin of the lizard man gradually disappeared like the ebbing tide, revealing the smooth skin of a human being, and his figure also shrunk. Cong Xia looked at him in surprise. Although he was unshaven, his eyes were bright and energetic. He was actually a seventeen-year-old An eight-year-old boy, tall and handsome, but carefree in his words and deeds.He quickly put on his clothes, rubbed his hands and said, "Thank you."
Zhuang Yao really couldn't stand his stupidity, and said contemptuously, "When it's cold, don't you turn back into a human being and stay indoors?"
The lizardman shrugged, "I was fighting with someone at the time. After the fight, I found that I couldn't stand the cold, so I was forced to hibernate."
Liu Fengyu asked, "Are you... a lizard?"
"Ah, no, I'm a reptilian throwback."
Except for Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu, the expressions of the other three changed.
They understood why Cheng Tianbi and Tang Yanqiu reacted so strongly just now. They hadn't met each other in Chongqing at that time, but Zhao Jin, who was rumored to be extremely powerful, was a crawling atavist. Today, he was finally lucky enough to see the crawling atavist , that majestic and powerful appearance does not look easy to mess with.At that time, those people said that Zhao Jin's skin could not be pierced by ordinary bullets, but now they don't doubt it at all.
The boy rubbed his hands and jumped his feet, "I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Cheng Tian said coldly: "Why should we give you food?"
The young man was stunned, "That's right... Forget it, I'll find it myself." Holding his waist, he walked to a distance, and when he passed Abu, he muttered, "The broken cat almost trampled me to death."
Tang Yanqiu let down his vigilance after the boy walked away, "This boy is even bigger than Zhao Jin."
Cheng Tianbi also said: "The energy fluctuation is also stronger than Zhao Jin."
Cong Xia smiled and said: "Fortunately, he doesn't look like a bad guy, and he was sent away with a set of clothes, but why didn't he have energy fluctuations in the first place?"
Zhuang Yao said: "When animals hibernate, the heartbeat and blood flow will be in a very slow state, and the relative energy may also be in this state."
Cong Xia thought for a while, "It seems that there is no other reason besides this."
Zhuang Yao looked at the sky, "Let's go, the sun is going down soon, let's find a place to rest and eat."
They walked through a street, and suddenly saw a fire in the distance. When they got closer, they saw several bonfires burning in front of a hotel, surrounded by many people.
Abu's huge size quickly aroused the vigilance of those people, and someone shouted at them from afar: "Don't get any closer."
Cong Xia shouted: "We have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask for directions."
"Where are you from?"
"Chongqing." When he met Luo Xun in Chengdu, he found that many people were interested in the situation in Chongqing, saying that they were from Chongqing, so it was easier to open up the topic.
Sure enough, the group of people muttered, "Come here, but that cat can't come here."
"Don't worry, it doesn't bite casually, we let it lie here."
A few people got out of the car and walked over on foot.Abu lay obediently beside Roadhog, flicking his tail against Roadhog's car. It seemed to be addicted to playing, making the car rattle loudly. The sound coupled with Abu's huge size made those people Terrified.
Cong Xia is now in charge of all the team's "diplomacy" tasks. He himself is not a good-spoken person, but compared with the rest of the team, he is already considered the best, so he was forced to work.He showed a kind smile, "Hi fellow villagers."
A burly man said bluntly: "Don't think about our food, be careful or die."
"Don't worry, we won't steal things, we just want to chat with you."
"Want to inquire about the situation in Pin'an? All right, we just want to know about Chongqing as well."
Cong Xia didn't want to waste time, so she briefly explained the situation in Chongqing.
A woman with a fierce temperament said: "Sounds good, why don't we go to Chongqing."
Cong Xiaqi said: "You also want to go to Chongqing? But you are so close to Beijing, why go to Chongqing?"
The faces of those people changed when they heard about Beijing, and there was a trace of fear in the man's eyes, "Beijing is not a place for low-level mutants like us to stay. We all escaped from somewhere."
Cong Xia was surprised: "Why?"
"Because in Beijing, there are only two types of people who can keep themselves safe. One is high-level mutants and their families, the other is military and government officials and their families. No, there is a third type, ordinary people. However, ordinary people live It must be similar to ants, people are too lazy to step on it, and low-level mutants are often reduced to 'food' for high-level mutants."
Zhuang Yao repeated softly, "Food... Could it be..."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice, "Why?"
The man whispered: "The brain evolutionists in Beijing have researched something that can absorb the energy of mutated animals. The absorbed energy can be used in many ways. It hasn't been widely used yet, but some people have already used it. The government will spend money on it." Recover energy at a high price. Think about it, if the mutants in Beijing are exhausted, it must be the turn of the surrounding cities. We are well informed, so we ran away quickly.”
Everyone was shocked.Zhuang Yao's prophecy in Chongqing at that time really came true.
Cong Xia shook her head in disbelief, "Impossible, how could..."
When he mentioned the brain-evolved person in Beijing, the first thing he thought of was Cong Zhenzhong, but his second uncle was a person with a strong sense of morality, and it was impossible for him to develop such a thing to harm people, so he couldn't believe it.
A warm hand rested on his vest.
Cong Xia turned his head and saw Cheng Tianbi's unwavering gaze, he whispered, "It can't be Professor Cong."
Cong Xia's heart calmed down, he nodded, "Well, I don't believe it's him, but the situation is really serious."
Liu Fengyu sighed, "I used to hope that my parents were mutants, and now I hope..." Liu Fengyu's eyes were full of deep worry.
Tang Yanqiu also missed his parents, he patted Liu Fengyu on the shoulder, "We will help you find your parents."
Liu Fengyu glanced at him in surprise, put away his laughter for the first time, and said softly, "Thank you."
Cong Xia asked: "Do you know which brain evolutionist invented the thing that absorbs human energy?"
"I don't know, anyway, it was created by the Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Sciences raises a lot of brain evolution people. It is the place where the world's top intelligence gathers. There are already mutated food and livestock. These are basically solved. What are the new energy vehicles and weapons? In short, they invented a lot of things.”
An old man said: "I heard that these brain evolutionists in the Academy of Sciences are also assigned, and they fight fiercely.
