The Return of Cambrian Period

called! "

Everyone was afraid that it would attack again. The devil pine just threw some pine needles at them casually, but they needed all their strength to resist. If there were more waves of such attacks, they would not be able to stop them.

Zhuang Yao said: "Mr. Songshu, we don't mean to offend you. This time, I just want to talk to you."

The giant hand made of tangled roots caught Zhuang Yao in the air again, and Zhuang Yao winked at the crowd to keep them still.

Devil Song's huge face looked a bit ferocious, "Sure enough, you are also here to ask for that piece of jade."

Zhuang Yao asked calmly, "Has anyone else been here?"

Devil Song narrowed his eyes dangerously, "There are some foreigners. I don't know what you want this piece of jade for, but this piece of jade makes me feel full of power. Do you want to take it away? Greedy humans, how do you I want everything."

Zhuang Yao said: "Mr. Songshu, you have stayed here for too long and don't know the changes in the outside world. Are you interested in knowing? What happened to human beings, what happened to other species, what is puppet jade, and what is the truth of the last days? Why don't you wait for me to tell you this, and then you can decide."

Devil Song hesitated, and said a little irritably, "Don't quarrel, I'll eat him if you quarrel again... Idiot, I'm just talking, don't yell so loudly!"

The big hand with the root beard just stood in mid-air, Zhuang Yao sat on it, and happened to be at the same level as Devil Song, Devil Song said impatiently: "Speak."

Zhuang Yao cleared his throat, and explained everything that happened in a year in an orderly manner. Except for some details that needed to be concealed, he especially repeatedly emphasized the side effects of the puppet jade and its great significance to the species.Zhuang Yao deliberately avoided speaking from a human point of view, but expressly and implicitly stated that the existence of puppet jade is a threat to all species.

Devil Song listened quietly.Since it came here, it has not moved anywhere, and lived a very closed life. In fact, it doesn't know anything about this world, and it doesn't want to know.It is just a pine tree, and it doesn't care what humans and other species have become. It only knows that in this place, no one can hurt it or harass it, and it can live quietly.

However, if this piece of jade that makes it feel full will bring about a devastating disaster, it must think carefully, after all, the high altitude is too cold, and it does not want to grow any longer.

Devil Song said to himself: "This kid is obviously smarter than you, can you trust him?"

Cong Xia said: "Mr. Songshu, if you don't believe it, you can go outside with us to see, you can become a human being."

Devil Song glanced at him: "I can't leave here."

"why?"

Zhuang Yao said: "Its roots are too deep, if it leaves here, it will cause a big earthquake."

Devil Pine said: "If I leave here, I will pull out or cut off all the roots that are buried deep in the ground. Such a long period of growth will be in vain. Besides, I never intend to leave. I like this place. I am a tree, and the tree should be here. Rooted in one place."

Zhuang Yao said: "There is enough evidence for what I said. It doesn't mean anything to you to keep the puppet jade. You are already strong enough that nothing on this planet can hurt you. You have no ambitions and don't want to continue to expand. The puppet jade will only let you grow forever, which is contrary to your wishes, so what do you want it to do."

The devil fell silent.

Cong Xia saw that something was going on, and persuaded him: "Mr. Songshu, since you don't want to grow anymore, you can't keep the puppet jade by your side. The biggest function of the puppet jade is to promote biological evolution."

"What do you think? You must be speaking for human beings. I'm not human. I didn't think for you. Your thinking ability is mine. No, I don't think so, you are so annoying."

Everyone silently watched Devil Song and muttered to himself. They don't know how two strands of consciousness coexist in a living being. Is it the same as split personality?But split personality is the two personalities split from the self. The devil pine and the human being alienated by it are two individuals in themselves. Now they share the same knowledge and memory, but they have two consciousnesses and thoughts. The devil pine dominates, but That human consciousness has also been fighting for the right to speak, which is really amazing.If it weren't for this human's self-awareness to survive hard, they probably wouldn't even have the chance to talk to Devil Pine.

Devil Pine argued with the human consciousness in his body for a long time. Sometimes he made a sound, sometimes he was silent, and his expression kept changing.After a long time, the big hand retracted to the ground, Zhuang Yao was also put down, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The giant face on the trunk of the Devil's Pine disappeared, replaced by a naked man slowly emerging from the trunk. He looked to be in his twenties, pale and handsome, with long black hair hanging straight to the ground, looking at the tree woodenly. For them, the expression can be very vividly expressed by a symbol that was popular on the Internet at that time, that's it (—_—).

With a branch attached to his back, the man fell from a high altitude to the ground.

Everyone looked at this person nervously. Is this the human form of Devil Song?

The devil turned his neck loosely, looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Abu.

Everyone didn't dare to breathe.

The devil pine suddenly raised its arm, the skin cracked, and the arm suddenly stretched five meters. Except for the human skin at the root and the hand, the other places were brown branches, and the hand directly touched Abu's chest.Everyone turned pale with fright, and Abu was even more frightened. He let out a "meow" and just wanted to hide, but found that his four paws were entangled by the roots protruding from the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

Zhuang Yao asked anxiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Touch." Devil Song said frankly, and then, as he said, he stroked Abu's hair back and forth.After touching it for a while, he withdrew his hand: "It turns out that the touch is really like this."

Everyone's faces are going to be crooked.

Devil Song turned to Cong Xia, "Do you want this?" It suddenly stretched its hand into its chest, the skin around the chest was sunken, revealing wooden lines, and it took out a black transparent jade piece from its body, It was puppet jade, and it was bigger than any piece they had ever seen.

The puppet jade is only a hand away from them, but whoever dares to reach out will not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"I can give it to you. But you have to do a few things for me."

Cong Xia beamed with joy: "Please tell me."

"First, let me go outside the forest with you to see the troops, weapons, and experimental videos you mentioned."

"Can't you leave here?"

"As long as my roots are connected to this body, the diameter of the forest covered by my roots is 170 kilometers. If I give up diffuse evolution and choose linear evolution, I can reach the National Academy of Sciences in a few months. Now, This body can move freely within a distance of 170 kilometers." Devil loosely lifted his feet, and sure enough, the soles of his feet were connected to the roots.

"So, this body is not your body, it's just a part of your roots."

Devil nodded.

"Then does this body have offensive power?"

"Yes, the farther you are from the tree trunk, the weaker you are, but don't try to trick me, the whole forest is me, and I am the whole forest."

Cong Xia hurriedly said, "Don't dare, dare not."

"Second, I need something, and you have to bring it to me."

"what?"

"Many, books, food, clothes, and entertainment items are all what this human being wants. Tsk, it's really troublesome." He said a little unhappy, "I also need a cat, a black cat. I will tell you when I think of others. you."

"no problem."

"Third, you are going to move this human's home."

"What? Moving?"

"Yes, in Yunnan, he has an all-wood double-story villa. He misses that home very much. Go and move that villa, including all the things in the villa." Devil Song took out another old one from his body. The paper, with an address written on it, was rolled up with thin branches and handed to Cong Xia.

Cong Xia stammered: "Pu, villa, move here? What if the villa is gone..."

Devil Song said firmly: "The puppet jade will not be given to you."

Zhuang Yao immediately said: "We will definitely move here."

Devil Song nodded in satisfaction: "Fourth."

And the fourth...

"No more human machines to spy on or harass me."

"Yes."

Devil Song nodded: "Let's go, he has always wanted to go outside the forest."

Only then did they feel that the crisis was over. Although Devil Song's request meant that they would return to Yunnan, the greatest victory would be to avoid conflict with Devil Song.

Cong Xia flattered: "Mr. Songshu, do you want to sit on the cat?"

Devil Song turned his head away: "No, I don't like long-haired animals. Do you think I need something that humans can use to comfort their souls?"

Cong Xia turned his nose up.

Gui Guisong walked up to San'er and kicked him suddenly without warning. That seemingly thin leg kicked the deer weighing more than 400 kilograms into the air. Gui Guisong said flatly: "You are on my side! You pissed on the tree trunk, you don’t like it, I’ll let you go.”

San'er was so frightened that he almost didn't get up.

A few roots protruded from the soil at the foot of the devil pine, intertwined into a thick strand, in the shape of an arch bridge, and lifted it into the air. The arch bridge began to burrow into the ground one after another like an earth dragon, and then emerged from the ground. Waves extend forward, and the devil pine always sits at the peak of the valley. They carry the devil pine forward at a high speed, and the soil is constantly being turned over, forming a magnificent and wonderful picture.

Everyone quickly jumped on their mounts and ran after the devil.

The return trip was countless times easier than when they came in, and no birds or beasts dared to approach.What Devil Pine said is true, the entire forest belongs to it.

They quickly returned to the agreed meeting point.Several camouflaged military vehicles, machine guns and rocket launchers are on standby.

Tang Tingzhi saw a naked man with long hair hanging in front of them, sitting on the root of a tree that was constantly moving up and down, and immediately realized that it was the human form of the devil pine.

Devil Song stopped in front of them and looked down at them, as if looking at a group of ants.

Tang Tingzhi looked at the devil pine: "Are you a big pine tree?"

The devil looked at him with his neck tilted: "Are you waiting for me? Human."

"I was waiting for my companion, and I didn't expect you to come."

"Human children have told me a lot about the post-apocalyptic situation. I want to confirm it." It glanced at the dilapidated military vehicles and crude equipment: "It seems that human life is really bad."

Tang Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "It's more than bad. In the past year and a half, the total population of the world has decreased by 67%, and 40 billion people have disappeared from this world in just over a year. This is devastating. Disaster, if this evolution is not stopped, humanity will be completely wiped from this planet."

"Human disasters have nothing to do with me, do you care about the life and death of a tree species?"

Tang Ting said: "I know you don't care about the life and death of human beings, but this is not just a disaster for human beings. All living things will eventually be destroyed due to excessive evolution."

Tang Tingzhi and Zhuang Yao used the same point of view to confuse Devil Song, and what they said was half true and half false.If the Cambrian consciousness is not prevented, creatures will indeed be destroyed due to excessive evolution, but only if they can live to the day of destruction. In fact, many creatures will die before reaching the end of evolution, and their descendants will take Species continue, but human beings are different. Human beings are losing their fertility in large numbers, and only human beings will become extinct in the end.But they will not tell this to the devil pine, just as they will not care too much about the disappearance of a species, and the devil pine will not care whether there are humans or elephants on this planet.

Their purpose is to let the devil loosely hand over the puppet jade.

Sure enough, Devil Pine has basically believed their words: "I want to watch the experiment video."

Tang Tingzhi immediately took out the computer, and the animals that exploded one after another in the screen looked shocking.

Devil Song said: "There are no plants."

Tang Tingzhi and Zhuang Yao's ideas are highly consistent: "Because plants are too large, it is very difficult to find an experimental site and shoot, so the progress is very slow, but preliminary results have already been obtained, similar to animals. If you want to see more detailed data, you have to Transferred from the Academy of Sciences."

Devil Song shook his head: "No need."

The devil pine alien is an ordinary human being, and it is impossible for him to be smarter than a brain-evolved person. Zhuang Yao has successfully instilled a complete doomsday world into its brain, using language and brainwave hints to make the devil pine completely believe him.

Zhuang Yao said: "This is the common crisis faced by species all over the world. In order to save everything, we are collecting puppet jade everywhere and trying to seal them. I hope Mr. Pine can help us."

Devil Song shook his head indifferently: "I will not help human beings. If you fulfill my conditions, I will give you the puppet jade."

Zhuang Yao smiled slightly: "This has helped us a lot."

Devil Song looked at them, then at himself: "Find me a suit."

Tang Tingzhi immediately asked someone to find a robe for Devil Song.

Devil Song said to himself while wearing it: "Why do you wear this kind of fake leather? It's not comfortable at all."

Tang Tingzhi frowned and looked at him.

Zhuang Yao whispered: "Its alien human consciousness has not disappeared."

There was a hint of surprise in Tang Tingzhi's eyes.

After getting dressed, it said quite dissatisfied: "He wants to eat human food, drink human drinks, sleep in human beds, and also want human beings to play mahjong with him."

Cong Xia never expected that it would end up like this.

Devil Pine was sitting in the marching tent at this time, with scented tea and an English pastry stand next to his hand, which was filled with exquisite and attractive desserts. Tang Yanqiu, Liu Fengyu and Huo Bai were playing mahjong with him.

Cong Xia looked at Devil Song expressionlessly and said "touch, put down, take your hands away", feeling that time and space are a bit out of place.

Devil Pine suddenly turned around and stared at him woodenly.

Cong Xia said carefully: "Mr. Songshu, what else do you need?"

"You stepped on my hair."

Cong Xia was so frightened that he took a big step back. He wiped the shoe prints off his hair and said flatteringly, "Shall I weave it for you?"

"Ah."

Cong Xia braided his hair into a long braid, but the braid was still very long. He asked Devil Pine: "Mr. Pine, do you want to cut a little bit of your hair?"

"you dare."

Of course Cong Xia didn't dare and stepped back.

Cheng Tianbi said: "How long does it plan to stay?"

Cong Xia smiled wryly and shook her head: "We will stay with it as long as it stays."

Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "We have worked so hard to escape from Yunnan, but we didn't expect to go back now. Just now I heard Zhuang Yao and Tang Tingzhi discuss that it is not easy for us to move once. If we go to Yunnan, we have to go to Chongqing to meet Wu You, finally entered Qinghai directly."

Cong Xia said, "Why do you still want to go to Chongqing?"

"It is rumored that Xu Ying has been in contact with Wu You quietly, and Commander Cao can't sit still."

Cong Xia nodded: "I am very worried about the situation of the Academy of Sciences and the safety of my second uncle."

"Professor Cong will be fine. Zhuang Yao said that he will stay and investigate what happened to the 'foreigners' that the devil pine said. This place is close to the border, and Muscovites can see the devil pine with their naked eyes. It's their people."

Cong Xia looked up at him: "Tianbi, are you ready to go to Qinghai?" It must be a very dangerous place.

Cheng Tianbi nodded silently.

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and a group of people were making dinner. Deng Xiao was playing with Abu on a big pine cone. One person and one cat rolled the pine cone around, and the ground trembled accordingly.

Tang Yanqiu and Liu Fengyu were lying on the deck chairs, motionless.

Cong Xia walked over: "What's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

Liu Fengyu said weakly: "I played with that pine tree for seven hours, and my back hurts so much. Now a new group of people will go."

Cong Xia smiled and said, "It's not afraid of being tired."

"The meal isn't ready yet, tell them to hurry up, I'm starving to death."

"Okay, I'm going to remind you."

Cong Xia and Cheng Tianbi walked to a large cauldron: "It's so fragrant, San'er, what are you doing?"

"Turtle and Snake Soup, you can make up for it."

"What does Abu eat?"

"There is no fish here. I roasted two roe deer for it, which is enough for it to eat."

"Have you looked at Zhuang Yao?"

"Here, in the tent."

They found Zhuang Yao and Tang Tingzhi in a marching tent.

Al was grilling kebabs outside the tent, while Shen Changze and Shan Ming were knocking pine nuts the size of peanuts. To be precise, Shen Changze was knocking and Shan Ming was eating.

Shan Ming saw them and said, "This pine nut tastes really good, but the shell is too hard to bite." He wanted to bite while talking.

Shen Changze snatched it over: "I told you not to bite, it hurts your teeth."

Shan Ming continued to eat ready-made ones with peace of mind.

Zhuang Yao looked at them: "What do you need from me?"

"I heard from Tianbi that you plan to stay here longer?"

"Well, I'll ask about the specific situation of those foreigners in Devil Pine in a while. Although we reached an agreement at the United Nations Conference to seal the puppet jade, the energy contained in it has been explored by the owning country since the end of the world, and no one will Willing to hand it over easily."

"Even if you know who they are, what are you going to do?"

"They came here across the border, they should give us an explanation, maybe they have information that we don't know."

At this moment, Deng Xiao shouted loudly: "Dinner is ready—"

Everyone moved closer to the bonfire.

Devil Song was barefoot, wearing a white linen robe, and dragging an ankle-length braid, commanding: "Put more peppers."

The cooking soldier put a large plate of barbecue in front of it, and sprinkled half a can of chili powder on it.

Gui Guisong looked at the red layer of chili powder, wrinkled his nose, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He spat it out just two seconds after he swallowed it. He said angrily, "Idiot, why do you eat such a meat?" Spicy stuff!"

The cooks didn't dare to breathe.

Devil Pine's face was cloudy and uncertain, as if he was arguing with the human in his head, and finally compromised, and ate the super spicy barbecue with his face flushed.

Cong Xia handed over a glass of freshly squeezed blueberry juice: "Mr. Pine, please drink."

Devil Song didn't even look at it: "Add a spoonful of sugar and bring it here."

Zhuang Yao looked at the Devil Pine with his chin propped up: "Interesting, you share the same knowledge, memory and feelings, but your personalities and preferences are completely different."

Devil Song ignored him.

"He can feel everything you enjoy?"

"Ah."

"Then he knows what you think."

"Ah."

"It's amazing." Zhuang Yao sighed, "I really want to take you back to study it."

Cong Xia kicked him from under the table.How can you talk nonsense to such a dangerous creature!

"By the way, are you the only one who can own entities?" Zhuang Yao asked unwillingly.

The devil said loosely, "He can too."

Zhuang Yao's eyes lit up.

"This body is just a clone. In the area covered by my root system, there can be countless clones like this. As long as he puts his consciousness into one of them, he looks like a complete person on the surface."

Cong Xia blurted out: "Then why didn't you let him out?"

The devil gave him a blank look: "I won't let him talk to you... Don't quarrel, if you quarrel again, I will go back."

The two were a little disappointed. If they could directly talk to the humans of the devil pine alien species, they would definitely get more beneficial help.

After dinner, Zhuang Yao asked about the foreigners that Devil Song had mentioned.

Devil Song recalled: "Two months ago, they flew over with birds, were attacked in the air, and landed not far from me."

"What did they do?"

"They took out a machine and probed around me, one tried to climb on me and I threw it down, one asked me for 'black jade' and said if I didn't give them the jade they would drop missiles at me .”

Cong Xia clicked his tongue: "It's so courageous."

The devil showed a bored expression: "I don't want to talk to them."

Zhuang Yao said: "Do you know which country they are from?"

The devil shook his head loosely: "I just remember that they repeated a word a few times." It said a word.

Cheng Tianbi said: "This means 'no' in Moscow language."

Zhuang Yao said: "They were so provocative, and you didn't kill them?"

"I was sleeping. And, with that injured bird, they couldn't get out."

"They died?"

"Dead in the southwest area."

Zhuang Yao was pleasantly surprised: "Do you know where they are? Is the body still there? Where are the things on them?"

Devil Song rolled his eyes: "If you want it, I'll send it out."

"Great." Zhuang Yao jumped up.

Soon, the devil pine moved over from the depths of the forest, manipulating the undulating roots like a snake, and arrived in front of them in a short while, throwing the things it carried on the ground.

It turned out to be a huge bird's nest, and there were four eggs the size of ostrich eggs on the nest.

Cong Xia frowned and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, a human leg bone was found at the bottom of the bird's nest!

Zhuang Yao squatted down: "Do birds use their bones to build nests?"

Devil Pine nodded: "The bird grows too big, and the branches can't bear the weight, so it needs animal bones to support it."

Tang Tingzhi said: "Remove the bird's nest."

Deng Xiao picked up a big bird egg: "Oh, this egg is so big, what kind of bird is it, is it delicious?"

San'er took a look: "Mountain pigeon, it's not tasty, the meat is tough."

"What about the egg?"

San'er giggled and said, "The eggs are not bad."

Zhuang Yao glared at them: "Put it down, these eggs have to be taken back for research."

Deng Xiao put the egg down depressed.

Everyone hurriedly tore down the bird's nest and found a bunch of broken things.

They cleaned things out of weeds, twigs, and dung alike, and it was a boon.

Zhuang Yao counted the items: "Computer, notepad, USB flash drive, decoder, sampler, tester, gun."

Al wiped Tang Tingzhi's hands with a hot towel: "Look at your hands, aren't you a surgeon?"

"I'm not going to bring bacteria into the operating room."

"That's not what I'm talking about. Your hands have been hurt. You should avoid touching dirty things."

Cong Xia glanced at Tang Tingzhi's hand, and found that there were burn marks on the palm of his hand, and the palm lines could no longer be seen clearly: "Sir, do these scars affect your work?"

"The muscles are less flexible, and the proliferative skin slightly affects my perception of temperature, but nothing else."

Al said to Congxia: "Can you cure this?"

Cong Xia touched his head: "I haven't repaired the scar, but I can try."

Tang Tingzhi stretched out his hand: "Oh? Try it."

Cong Xia injected energy, accelerated cell metabolism, and repaired those necrotic skin until there was no trace of injury on the palm.

Al was pleasantly surprised: "Great!"

Tang Tingzhi also had a rare smile: "Cong Xia, thank you."

Cong Xia waved his hand: "You're welcome, it's a little effort."

Shen Changze glanced at Shan Ming: "You..."

Shan Ming rushed: "No, I don't need to repair any scars."

Shen Changze frowned: "Why?"

"Scars are a man's badge, what do you know, you little brat." After Shan Ming finished speaking, he walked away with his head held high.

Tang Tingzhi and Zhuang Yao began to study those relics.

Devil Song sat on the side drinking fruit vinegar for digestion and enjoying the breeze in the forest, feeling very relaxed.In the evening, when the silk bedding and incense he had asked for arrived, he went to sleep contentedly, while the others crowded into tents in piles and were treated differently.

The next day, the black cat that Tang Ting ordered to find finally arrived, and was delivered to Devilsong without stopping.

Devil loosely hugged the little black kitten: "Is it a mutant cat?"

Cong Xia said: "It hasn't mutated yet, so I can't tell in the future."

Abu moved his head curiously.

The little milk cat let out a tender cry, and patted Abu's nose with its paws. Abu's eyes were bright, and he stretched out his big tongue to lick it, but was stared back by the devil.

He stuffed the milk cat into his clothes, "I'm going back, move that house over and come find me again."

Cong Xia took courage: "Mr. Songshu, let us have a word with the human inside you."

Devil Pine looked at him coldly: "Looking for death? No, you can't talk to him." The last sentence couldn't tell who it was talking to, "No, no." Devil Pine repeated it twice, obviously dispute.

Everyone looked at him "schizophrenia" anxiously.

Finally, the devil pine said angrily: "Two minutes." A few strands of tree roots sprang up from the ground. Those roots were tangled and intertwined. The man is exactly the same, but his temperament and demeanor are quite different. This man is gentle and handsome. If Devil Song is like this (—_—), then he is like this (^_^).

The man smiled: "Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Mu Fei."

Everyone has not recovered from the surprise.

Mu Fei smiled gently: "Thank you for your hospitality these two days. These are the happiest two days since I became a pine tree. Although it is very peaceful in the forest, it is also too lonely. I may never be able to leave. I hope You can come and see me every once in a while."

Cong Xia sighed, "It's great that your self-awareness hasn't disappeared."

Devil Song snorted and turned his head away.

Mu Fei said: "My greatest wish is that house. That house was designed by my father and is a relic left to me by my parents. Please bring it with you, even if only the skeleton remains."

"Don't worry, as long as the house is still there, we will definitely move it here."

Mu Fei smiled: "Thank you everyone." He touched the little milk cat in Devil Pine's arms, "I raised a black cat before, and it died at the end of the world, and it will accompany us in the future, such a long time Time should be better."

Devil Pine dissatisfied: "You are now a tree, not a person, and a tree cannot change places every day."

Mu Fei said helplessly: "I understand."

Zhuang Yao said: "But your heart is still human, we are in the most critical moment now, I hope you can help us."

Devil Song glared at Zhuang Yao: "Shut up."

Mu Fei sighed: "But I can't be the master..." Before he finished speaking, his body instantly disintegrated into tree roots and retracted into the soil.

Devil Song said coldly: "Don't think about us, I'm not interested in human affairs at all. Hurry up and get out of here, and when you come next time, you must bring that villa with you." After speaking, he rode on the undulating tree roots, Holding the kitten in his arms, he left without looking back.

Cong Xia said regretfully: "It would be great if that human being dominated such a powerful ability."

Zhuang Yao shook his head: "Impossible. When they were alien species, Devil Pine was already a hundred times stronger than humans. It is lucky that his consciousness has not disappeared."

"Yeah, fortunately, I only hope that the villa is still there."

Zhuang Yao said: "It is necessary to build a building."

Cheng Tianbi asked, "Have you found anything about the relics of the Muscovites?"

"Deciphering their encrypted files and getting someone to translate their notes."

"Should we continue to wait here?" Cong Xia asked.

Zhuang Yao said, "Are you worried about Professor Cong?"

Cong Xia nodded.

"Don't worry, Professor Cong's brain domain is highly evolved, at least it can make a high-level mutant lose his ability to move for 2 to 4 seconds, and there are people around him who will protect him for a long time, so there will be no problems."

Cong Xia sighed.

In the temporary camp, some people deciphered the files, some translated the notes, and the others were not idle, practicing hard.

Li Daoyi suddenly found Cong Xia: "I've reached the critical point, why don't you just help me break through to the second level here."

Cong Xia was surprised: "Here? It's safer to go back to the Academy of Sciences."

"The lab doesn't help me, so it doesn't make a difference."

Cong Xia couldn't decide to pay attention, and looked at Cheng Tianbi.Cheng Tianbi nodded: "Get enough sleep today, and start tomorrow. Officer Li, I have something to say up front. Cong Xia can't guarantee your safety [-]% and will let you break through to the second level. The key lies in yourself."

Li Dao'an nodded: "I understand."

Huo Bai frowned and said: "Commander, what if you get injured in the wilderness, let's go back and talk about it."

Cheng Tianbi said: "Cong Xia can be repaired after being injured. Whether he can break through to the second level has nothing to do with the environment. Every day he delays, the destructive Cambrian energy in his body will increase by one point."

Li Dao'an was very calm: "If Yao Qianjiang were here, he would definitely make the same decision."

Shen Changze showed a slightly ironic smile: "Of course, he is much more impatient than you."

Li Dao'an said with a smile: "He never wants to be inferior to others."

Cheng Tianbi and his party were arranged in a tent, and everyone couldn't sleep at night. Deng Xiao sighed and said, "Once the devil is gone, the food will drop a lot."

Zhuang Yao said: "Then you can stay with him in the woods and eat whatever you want."

Deng Xiao choked for a moment: "That's so boring, forget it."

Zhuang Yao asked: "Cong Xia, how long will it take for you to break through to the second level?"

"Within a month, how about you?"

"Two or three months." Zhuang Yao sighed, "I'm too short of time."

Zhuang Yao is the busiest of them all. As the "brain" of the team, he not only has to formulate training programs for them, design weapons, and pay attention to everyone's evolution, but also shoulders many projects in the Academy of Sciences. Taking time, he can only rest four or five hours a day.

Cong Xia said: "Don't be too tired, you and my second uncle are the same, no matter how you mutate, you are still human, not a machine."

Zhuang Yao said "um", his voice has not completely changed, it is between a child and a teenager, it is tender and pleasant to hear.

"Little Deng, what about you? How long will it take?"

"I feel...maybe two or three months."

Zhuang Yao said: "I'll cut down on physical training and atavistic training for you, and you can add two more hours to break through to the second level."

Deng Xiao was very happy. Compared with those trainings where he was exhausted to death or his eyes were rolled by poison, he was of course willing to practice.

Cong Xia said: "Tianbi, what about you?"

"The second level is about 30%. According to this progress, it will take another year to break through the third level."

"When you reach the third level, you will definitely be able to elementalize your whole body." Cong Xia's tone was very excited.

Zhuang Yao said: "Just right, we won't go to Qinghai anytime soon. We don't know much about it now, and investigation and research will take at least three to five months. Before that, we must step up training. My request to you is, At least 2/3 of Cheng Tianbi's body can be turned into elements, and all members must break through to the second level."

Cong Xia said worriedly, "What about Abu?"

Zhuang Yao's tone was also very dignified: "Abu is the most difficult to deal with. I am trying to use brain waves to control his cultivation. That is to say, I am actually helping him to cultivate. He cannot do it by himself, but this is not the case. A long-term solution. However, Abu’s energy is the lowest among us, and when it really needs to be advanced, you can only rely on you to clean its energy.”

"Hopefully it works."

With a trace of worry and apprehension about future tasks, they slowly fell asleep while chatting.
