Click, the lights turned on, and the whole area was brightly lit, and the artificial light covered the light on Shen Li's body.

The emergency repair of the backup power supply was successful, and the power supply came up.

Not only Shen Li, but even Lin Qiming heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and left the roof with Shen Li. With a bang, the thing swept by the tornado hit the glass again, and cracks like spider patterns were densely covered on it. The wind was still strong, and There are snow grains spread on it.

Everyone was still very scared, but now they stopped crying endlessly. They stood at the assigned position and looked out the window with worry in their eyes.

How long can I last?

All five safe zones are hardened, but hardening doesn't turn buildings into diamonds.

"But we can't do anything." When going down, Shen Li heard a doctor in a white coat whispering, "We can only reinforce this place in the remaining time, and then we can only pray that these reinforcements will work, except There is no other way."

"...Why are you so weak?"

"Don't say that, we can at least build a temporary safe space for ourselves, and other species outside can't do anything about it." The doctor next to him comforted him in a low voice, "Humans are already the most self-protecting race among creatures."

Shen Li listened to their words, there was a little subtlety in his golden eyes, but Shen Li didn't stop, and they went all the way back to the laboratory downstairs.

"The meteorological department should make emergency measures according to the current situation. Brother, don't worry too much." Lin Qiming said: "The meteorological department has always done training in extreme weather. The catastrophe 30 years ago is an example. We were caught off guard back then. We have killed a lot of people, and now we have more preparedness than before."

"I know." Shen Li sighed, "I just feel a little contradictory."

"contradiction?"

"About this change that started 30 years ago, everyone generally believes that nature wants to reduce human beings, because human beings develop too fast and too much, even to the point of changing nature, but now, human beings are powerless in the face of natural disasters. On the other hand: there is no way for humans to be above nature."

"Isn't that contradictory?"

Lin Qiming thought for a while, "It seems to be like this? But within us, we all agree that human construction cannot cause a devastating blow to nature, because the ecology has a self-recovery function, and when nature declines, the quality of human life is relatively reduced. , human beings cannot live without nature, so human beings will focus on ecological protection after development.”

"We and the ecology have always been one. Although there has been damage, we have been introspecting and trying to repair..."

Does cutting out the part of humans that can rebel against nature classify humans as the same thing as other living things?Can reducing the number of human beings prevent people from developing into what they are now?

Cao Yutian said that the fall of human beings will be a massive whale fall, and the legacy left by human beings after death will be squandered by other creatures for hundreds of years.

But at that time, because of this series of disasters, not many creatures survived at all, so what should we do then?

Just as Shen Li was thinking, there was a click, and the door of the laboratory opened. Cao Yutian looked at them and said, "Successful."

Shen Li quickly went in to have a look. There was a petri dish on the table. Inside the petri dish were two identical caterpillars. The caterpillars had been eating grass, and the grass was consumed very quickly. After eating to a certain extent, Shen Li See it wagging its tail.

"Hiss... Is this a gene runaway?" Liao Jiangfan kept frowning, "Or is it a genetic disease that works on insects?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means that this kind of replication can't be controlled now." Cao Yutian said: "When we successfully transplanted the aphid replicator gene to it, it began to eat a lot, and after eating a lot, it would quickly replicate another aphid. Oneself, the same gene also causes the other self to reproduce after eating a lot."

"It's been going fast, and it's been going on."

Lin Qiming looked at the caterpillar in surprise, "But this kind of copying is very exhausting, right?"

"Yes, so it will keep replicating until it dies, about five times." Liao Jiangfan replied: "But in the five times, the individuals he replicated will also die after replicating five times, which will cause the number of bugs to increase rapidly. This won't work, if you keep putting it down, it will be copied without limit, and eventually it will get out of control and the world will be full of bugs."

"It doesn't matter, it has an absolute weakness." Cao Yutian said: "This kind of bug is extremely afraid of cold, as long as the temperature is below zero, it will die immediately. After we get the required number to attract the firebird, the rest can be directly Kill it, don't leave a single egg behind."

"What if it wasn't cleaned up thoroughly?"

"It doesn't matter." Cao Yutian smiled, and he said, "Next spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom, and such terrible things will never appear again."

Liao Jiangfan looked at him unexpectedly, "What do you mean?"

He didn't answer, but just picked up the caterpillars and put them in Shen Li's hands, he said seriously, "When the caterpillars have copied to a hundred, you go out, and then lift up these caterpillars, the bird will sense Come, will come back.”

No one asked why Shen Li, after all, among the four of them, Shen Li was indeed the best candidate.

Liao Jiangfan didn't quite understand what Cao Yutian meant, and Cao Yutian wouldn't explain it to him, so Liao Jiangfan sighed and left. He was going to go back to the isolation area for isolation. Although he was not genetically ill, he still couldn't be released. The fear of genetic disease was too great, even Shen Li was isolated for a long time when his eyes changed color.

After the prevention and control of the medical bureau was over, Shen Li and Lin Qiming walked back with a petri dish of caterpillars. Shen Li, who went down to the first floor, observed the corridor. The corridor was very clean, with no blood or any strange things. The door leading to the basement was closed tightly, and Shen Li didn't stay long.

When they returned to the Scientific Research Bureau, everyone greeted Shen Li. Director Tong was also outside, and the deputy director of the class stood beside him.

Director Tong looked at him, then glanced at the caterpillar in his hand, then Director Tong smiled, but nodded at him without opening his mouth.

Shen Li and Lin Qiming returned to the assigned dormitory, where they still had their dinner for today. The dinner was already cold, and colleagues in the same dormitory helped them get it. Lin Qiming thanked them, and then went to the aunt who was in charge of the meal to get the food After heating it up, I really didn't eat anything other than the bowl of noodles for breakfast all day today.

After returning with a hot meal, Lin Qiming saw that Shen Li was feeding the fish, and the caterpillars were placed beside him. Lin Qiming went over to take a look, and found that the caterpillars had split into another batch in such a short period of time.

"Actually, the bureau almost knew about it." Lin Qiming gave the food to Shen Li.

Shen Li knew what Lin Qiming meant, he was talking about Cao Yutian.

Regardless of whether Cao Yutian or Liao Jiangfan were released by him, it is impossible for the two of them to conduct research without knowing the three major situations.

There are people coming and going here, and the Special Bureau is patrolling everywhere, so they are afraid that there will be problems. How could they not know that Liao Jiangfan has come out, and that Cao Yutian has sneaked in. They are just turning a blind eye and closing their eyes. It's just an eye, because they need Cao Yutian's knowledge and need him to solve the problem.

Shen Li knew this matter better than Lin Qiming.

If we can find a way to deal with this cold wave, not to mention that Cao Yutian sneaked in to study with Liao Jiangfan, it doesn’t matter if the dynasty changes and Cao Yutian has never done human experiments!

Of course, just kidding.

After Shen Li fed the fish, he glanced at the petri dish next to him. The number of caterpillars had reached a large number. Shen Li had to put on gloves to transfer these caterpillars to a wider plastic box. Shen Li saw the corpse of the caterpillar, which had been gnawed to pieces by the crazy caterpillars.

Putting the dried grass inside, Shen Li roughly counted the number of these caterpillars. The reproduction of the caterpillars was very fast, and it could even be said to be out of control. Shen Li soon confirmed that the number was almost the same.

He talked to Lin Qiming, and then went out with the plastic box in his arms. The people around watched Shen Li leave, but they didn't ask anything in the end.

"In the end, what brother misses is you." Lin Qiming looked at the little red fish in the fish tank, "I said, what are you? I have never seen a brother care so much about a fish."

The fish couldn't speak, let alone answer questions, so the little red fish flicked its tail and burrowed into the rock without giving Lin Qiming a chance to ramble.

On the other hand, Shen Li has always had a strong sense of presence. He looks good, and his appearance is different from others, so he is easy to attract attention. No matter where he goes, people can watch him. The tornado outside is finally over. The outer glass is full of spider web-like cracks, and everyone is in no mood to sleep.

They watched Shen Li walking out with a box in his arms, with confusion in his eyes.

On the other side, at the headquarters of the third bureau, someone received a call.

"okay, I get it."

He hung up the phone, then turned on the monitor, and he could see Shen Li walking in the monitor.

"What should I do?" He looked at Director Tong next to him, "Is this one of yours?"

"Let's go." Director Tong sighed, but he was helpless, "Let him do whatever he wants. In this situation, no matter what you do, as long as it can make the situation better, isn't it because of this that we ignored Cao Yutian's arrival? .”

The man was also a little helpless. He pressed the button on his ear and used the radio to notify the people stationed outside.

"Seeing Shen Li let him go, don't ask why, just let him go."

"learn."

Shen Li was unexpectedly not stopped. During the operation, he saw people from the Meteorological Department distributing emergency supplies, including warm clothes, emergency food, and simple rainproof equipment, all of which can be broken in a safe area. Not so soon after death.

Some people from the Meteorological Department found him, but they still had jobs, at most they were greeted by familiar people.

Walking all the way like this, Shen Li was not stopped by anyone, and he reached the top floor so easily. On the top floor, there is an emergency passage they arranged, and the door that can be opened to go out.

Shen Li opened the door, and the low temperature rushed in for a moment. Shen Li felt that his whole body was becoming stiff. He couldn't feel how cold it was, but he could feel the changes in his body. , Shen Li got out immediately, and then closed the door.

Although the tornado left, there was still a lot of wind. Shen Li felt that the wind was blowing flakes of snow on him, and soon his hair was covered with ice crystals. He could only lift the box as quickly as possible. The caterpillars in the box were still replicating, they ate the hay that Shen Li put in before leaving, but still felt that it was not enough, so they were biting each other.

While dying quickly and multiplying rapidly, the caterpillars are constantly writhing, quickly filling up the entire box, and it is about to overflow.

Shen Li closed his eyes, thinking about what to do if the bird didn't come.

He is outside now. Although he doesn't feel too much cold because of the fluorescent grass, his body still can't bear the low temperature for a long time. He may lose his ability to move in half an hour, so he only has half an hour. time.

"Is it really possible?" Liao Jiangfan was a little nervous in the isolation area, "What if the bird really didn't come? It's so cold outside, Shen Li's body is frozen."

"I will come." Cao Yutian didn't seem to care at all.

"It's the best way to deal with nature with nature," he said.

Light disperses the night, water relieves drought, and now fire can also be used to melt ice.

Shen Li felt his fingers numb and a little painful. He knew it was a symptom caused by low temperature. He moved his fingers, but found it difficult to move them. He still held the box, and the caterpillar tried hard to copy it. , some were already squeezed against the edge of the lid, Shen Li raised his head and could see that the outer shell of the box was also accumulating ice crystals, as if it was about to freeze.

These caterpillars are extremely afraid of the cold, and there are thermal insulation facilities in the box. If the outer shell of the box really freezes, the caterpillars in the box will definitely die in large numbers.

Just when Shen Li thought it was useless, he heard birdsong.

He looked at the sky, outside the pale sky, the red bird was so conspicuous, the bird's wings were burning with flames, it flew over from a distance, and finally waved its wings and landed in front of Shen Li.

The bird stared at Shen Li, seeming a little puzzled, but it was very friendly, and just called Shen Li softly.

Shen Li could feel the tingling pain on his fingers relieving, and countless people were watching Shen Li and the fiery red bird on the upper floor from downstairs.

It took Shen Li a little time to open the box, because his fingers hurt a little, and he was stabbed by the sting when he opened it, and he almost threw the box on the ground. Big Bird watched Shen Li's movement of opening the box, and saw those red The caterpillar flew around Shen Li excitedly.

It landed on Shen Li's arm, and Shen Li was startled because its wings were on fire, but unexpectedly, Shen Li didn't feel the heat, and the flame didn't reach Shen Li either.

Firebird ate two worms, it seemed to like Shen Li very much, even rubbed against Shen Li, and tried to make him eat worms with itself.

I don't know how to explain to this bird that I am a person, but I can't explain that Shen Li also refuses to eat bugs.

It may be that Shen Li hates eating bugs, Firebird no longer tried to let Shen Li eat with it, it ate all the bugs in two or three bites, and then jumped up from Shen Li's shoulders, it called to the sky, and then It began to fly around the entire safety zone, it was flying, and the snow would melt wherever it flew.

It's not the sun, but it's hotter than the sun at this moment.

This is the temperature of the flame, the warmth of the flame.

"Minister! The temperature is rising!"

"Can you track the location of this firebird?"

"No way, but judging from the direction of its flight, it seems to be flying to another safe zone."

"Minister, the temperature has returned to the normal winter temperature, and it is now minus 17 degrees Celsius!"

"The cold wave is over!"

Shen Li heaved a sigh of relief, and he sat down directly. He felt his whole body was shaking, and he didn't know whether it was because of the sudden temperature difference that made his body unable to adapt or because he was too scared.

He was sitting in silence when he heard cheers, and when he lowered his head he saw the excited crowd.

They seemed to have got good news, they were laughing and crying, everyone raised their hands and cheered, at this moment, Shen Li felt a little bit of warmth, and when he looked up, he happened to see the sun not far away Climb up little by little from the back of the mountain, and the light shines on the earth, which looks so warm and warm.

"Brother!" Lin Qiming ran over holding the fish tank and waved at him.

Shen Li also smiled, but at this moment, he saw a small spike protruding from Lin Qiming's foot, and that thing was still going up. At that moment, Shen Li's smile froze on his face.

"Qi Ming, Qi Ming!" Shen Li was at the highest point, no one could see it more clearly than him, he almost yelled, "Under your feet, Lin Qiming, get out of the way!"

He tried hard to open the emergency door he came out of just now, but he couldn't open it in panic. The people inside could hardly hear Shen Li's voice, but they all saw Shen Li's face suddenly becoming terrified. Lin Qiming Holding the fish tank and turning back slowly, I saw that sharp thing that looked like a stone.

It is drilling out, constantly growing like a seed.

This should be a mountain, drilled from an unknown depth of meters.

At that moment, Lin Qiming remembered what Shen Li had said.

He said: People are all gathered together. Those who gather together are better to be eliminated, right?

earthquake?Perhaps, in Shen Li's view, it is not so much an earthquake as it is the ground shaking caused by the non-existent mountains just drilled out of the ground. Huge boulders continue to pile up on the surrounding buildings, and human beings make miserable screams to avoid being caught. The crushed and collapsed buildings and the unremarkable glass that had been destroyed by the tornado finally shattered.

In the end, Shen Li could only be thankful that the meteorological department sent out emergency supplies in advance, and that the temperature outside was no longer enough to freeze to death.

The building collapsed, the glass was shattered, and the mountain range grew inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before Shen Li had time to go down, he was directly hung on the mountain range, rising as the mountain rose, and he could see people running away from the height. Someone fell into the crack formed when the mountain was drilled out, and someone could only try to jump up the mountain and was taken higher and higher.

The rocks are rolling down, and the entire safety zone is being squeezed and deformed. Shen Li can only control his body not to be thrown off. If he is thrown off, it is not much different from a falling cliff. Not only will he be thrown to death, but he will also die It's ugly.

There are also large and small mountains drilled out of the surrounding area, and the reason why the mountains are mountain ranges is because there are endless mountains connected together.

Boom, Shen Li heard a mountain rock rolling down, and the rock hit his hand, he was finally unable to support himself, and the whole body fell, at this moment he felt someone grabbed his hand, and that person pulled hard His wrist made him stabilize his body, but he was on a cliff and couldn't find a support point at all.

"As expected of you, what a pity."

Shen Li raised his head, he saw Cao Yutian, Cao Yutian was still smiling, his other hand was pulling a boulder vigorously, while his right hand was holding him tightly.

"Cao... Yutian?"

Cao Yutian smiled at him, and he said: "Oh, you can say thank you later, I can't hold you back a little bit, you stabilize your body a little bit."

Without continuing to speak, Shen Li tried to stabilize himself. At this moment, a drop of liquid fell on his face, and Shen Li was stunned for a moment. He wondered if it was going to rain now, but when he raised his head, there was Just happened to see Cao Yutian's bloody hand.

Blood slid down their intertwined hands and dripped on Shen Li's cheek.

he got hurt.

When Shen Li was pulled up, the mountain range had stopped expanding. Cao Yutian covered his wrists and lay down directly. Shen Li searched and found that he had nothing on him, let alone bandaged his wound.

But maybe it was also the case, Shen Li suddenly realized that Cao Yutian was also a human being, he could be injured and of course he would die.

His life is as fragile as that of ordinary people.

"It's so fast." Cao Yutian murmured, "I thought it would take several months for this kind of thing to happen, at least until the end of the year. I didn't expect the geographical change to happen so early. This time even I was a little caught off guard."

Shen Li looked at him, "You didn't even expect it? But you knew that there would be geographical changes."

"Ah, I know." Cao Yutian nodded, as if he didn't bother to hide it, "But now, what I know is no longer knowledge that I knew in advance, but may become a drag. After all, I never thought that this geographical change would be related to the cold wave. come together."

"...Why did it change?"

Blood dripped down his fingers, but Cao Yutian didn't care, his eyes were fixed on the mountains in front of him, Shen Li saw confusion in his eyes for the first time.

"So why do you know this?"

"Why?" Cao Yutian looked at Shen Li, and he and Shen Li looked at each other, "Xiao Li, do you believe in predicting the future?"

Shen Li nodded, "I believe."

"Huh? Why should you believe it?"

"Because you said it, and what else is unbelievable in this situation?" Shen Li looked into the distance, because the position was too high, what he saw was the sky, white clouds, and a complete Unfamiliar scene, the world is changing at a very fast speed into something that humans don't know.

Cao Yutian chuckled, and he sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

He said: "I have predicted the future three times, maybe three times, my awakening gene is a deer, but it never worked, until those three predictions appeared, and then it lost its effect."

"So I have always known the end of humanity ahead of everyone else."

Shen Li nodded, "Can I ask how human beings are in those three futures?"

"Without exception." Cao Yutian said: "Extermination without exception."

Death and destruction, no matter how much human beings resist, no matter how hard they try to fight, the final result is that they cannot resist the erosion of nature, they turn into history and turn into soil, and maybe after an unknown number of years, there will be new intelligence People dug up their bones and explored the mystery of human extinction.

But how could Cao Yutian be reconciled?

So, he started this fourth effort.
