"Your father is dead now."
The faint words fell.
Hearing these words, Chen Heng fell into silence. At this moment, his whole body seemed to pause.
Of course, this is just a subconscious behavior and doesn't mean anything.
But in front of him, the girl seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Please grief."
In front of him, the girl nodded solemnly, stood up there, and then bowed deeply to Chen Heng, saluting: "He died for me."
"If it wasn't for my mistake, he wouldn't have died there and didn't even come back."
She began to speak, with a look of deep apology and guilt on her face.
The father of Chen Heng's predecessor died in an accident.
At that time, in order to obtain a precious material and some data, he and the girl in front of him deliberately ventured to a very dangerous place.
At the beginning, because of their preparation in advance, the matter went very smoothly.
They approached the target smoothly, and even observed it closely for a while.
Only in the end, because of a small mistake, they were infected by the breath of the mutant beast.
At a critical moment, the former father pushed the girl out and asked her to come to this base to look for his child.
As for himself, he was swallowed by the mutant beast and disappeared straight away.
Then, there was the series of stories before me, and the situation before me happened.
Sitting there, listening to the girl in front of him, Chen Heng frowned, as if he was thinking.
It was not until a long time later that he raised his head and spoke again.
"You mean, Mutant Beast?"
The faint words fell, appearing very plain, but the voice was very clear, just like that rang in the girl's ear.
"Yes."
Facing Chen Heng's gaze, the girl nodded earnestly, and then let out a deep sigh: "We want to observe the changes of the mutant beast, and we want to know what is the root of the mutant beast's existence."
"At the beginning, we were actually very close to the answer, but at the critical moment, we still failed after all."
She spoke softly, then let out a deep sigh.
Chen Heng was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
"Take me over there to have a look."
He got up from there, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I actually want to know what the so-called mutant beast looks like."
After the voice fell, the girl was stunned for a while, then raised her head, met Chen Heng's gaze, and nodded.
The previous scene is still lingering in the girl's mind.
That strange divine radiance and unique warm power still seemed to still remain in his body.
This also made the girl inexplicably convinced Chen Heng in front of her, and subconsciously obeyed the other party's orders.
Then, after a while, they set off.
Soon, half a month passed.
"Is it here?"
Looking at the empty land ahead, Chen Heng was a little surprised.
At this moment, they were already standing on a cliff.
And in front, is a wide forest.
The area of the forest is very large, and there seems to be an inexplicable strange force entrenched in this area, making people frown upon seeing it.
"The smell here is very strong."
Looking at the forest ahead, Chen Heng said softly.
"indeed."
Listening to Chen Heng's words, the girl nodded in agreement: "Compared to other places, the aura of mutant beasts in this area is very strong, and so is the unknown force that comes with the mutant beasts."
"If the influence of unknown forces from the outside world is one, then it is at least ten here."
"And the farther it goes, the more it will be."
Looking at Chen Heng, she said cautiously, and reminded Chen Heng: "After we get here, we have to be more careful. If possible, we must wear special protective clothing to avoid the influence of that unknown force. .”
"Otherwise, it is very likely that there will be a mutation."
While speaking, she secretly glanced at Chen Heng in front of her.
Before that, it was because she stayed in this area for too long that she was affected and caused a mutation.
If it wasn't for Chen Heng in front of her, she would have turned into a puddle of blood by now.
Even though she had been rescued once, after experiencing the feeling before, the girl swore that she never wanted to experience it again no matter what.
Even if Chen Heng could save her, the intense pain would still make people feel that their spirits were going to be twisted.
She was also not sure if Chen Heng could save her if she got infected again.
So proper protection is still needed.
But facing her gaze, Chen Heng shook his head, then slowly raised his hand.
A little bit of light flickered, and a little bit of divine power surged and spread out, but it didn't cause much impact. It just covered the surface of Chen Heng and the girl's body, entangled in a circle.
A layer of protection was temporarily formed on the surface of their bodies.
Afterwards, Chen Heng stretched out his hand again.
Dim light appeared around, and in the mid-air, layers of black air could be faintly seen emerging, layer upon layer, covering all directions, covering this area.
However, when Chen Heng's arm touched these things, the black air seemed to melt, and dissipated directly in Chen Heng's hands without leaving any traces at all.
Looking at this scene, the girl was taken aback for a moment, then immediately took out various instruments beside her and started detailed testing.
"Incredible, incredible"
She took out a lot of instruments, and numbers jumped on it, just like that.
After a while, she confirmed the situation in front of her, with a look of amazement on her face: "When that unknown force came into contact with you, the power existing in you will defeat that unknown force and destroy it. Completely disintegrated."
"This is really an incredible thing!"
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Chen Heng in front of her, her eyes glowing: "I can guarantee that if you appeared five years ago, maybe not so many people would have died."
"I don't know what that power of yours is, but it can do such a thing."
Her face was full of surprise, and she didn't know what to say at this moment.
In fact, not only her, but even the experts in the underground world also made a lot of exclamations at this time.
During this period of time, the nature of the power existing in Chen Heng's body has been clearly manifested.
From their observations, this power is almost like a panacea, whether it is healing, destruction, or other aspects, it has an extremely powerful effect.
Among the various powers discovered by human beings today, none of them can compare with this unknown power emerging from Chen Heng.
Even the unknown force that has plagued mankind for more than ten years, and even forced mankind into the underground world, seems to be able to be offset by this force.
This performance is really amazing.
"Stop being amazed."
Chen Heng spoke softly, and looked forward: "Let's continue walking."
"good."
On the side, listening to Chen Heng's words, the girl nodded seriously, and followed Chen Heng to the front.
They moved on, slowly through the black forest.
The black forest in front of me looks very special, and all the trees around are black in color, which looks extraordinarily frightening.
It was still daytime at the moment, and there was a faint light shining in the midair, illuminating the sight in front of him.
According to common sense, it should be very bright.
But the Black Forest in front of me is not like this. Not only does it not have that bright feeling at all, but it has a very special sense of darkness.
Being in it is like walking in a dark space, which is very unique.
Chen Heng and the two walked quietly in this forest.
"A lot of them"
Walking on the road, Chen Heng raised his head, looked around, and said softly.
His voice was so small that not many people heard it, so that the girl behind him couldn't help but turned around to look at him in doubt.
"There's a lot lurking here."
Chen Heng didn't hide anything, nodded directly, and said, "It's almost everywhere."
"It should be those mutant beasts."
Listening to Chen Heng's words, the girl became a little nervous, and at this moment she couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"
"no problem."
Chen Heng shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to solve it, it's just a little troublesome."
"That's good."
Hearing Chen Heng's words, the girl immediately felt relieved.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, she has great confidence in the fighting power displayed by Chen Heng.
In her opinion, the man in front of her was almost too powerful to be a human being.
It is obvious that it still looks like an ordinary human being, but it has that kind of terrifying power that scares people to death.
Before that, it wasn't that there were no mutated beasts attacking them along the road, among them there were even mutated creatures with extremely strong vitality like corpses.
But facing Chen Heng in front of him, these were basically like delivering food. There was no disturbance at all, and they were solved cleanly and neatly. The whole process seemed extremely easy.
Walking side by side with Chen Heng all the way, after walking for so long, she is somewhat used to Chen Heng's behavior.
Because of this, she has very strong confidence in Chen Heng.
The black forest in front of me is very large.
It took Chen Heng and the others quite a while before they walked out slowly and came to another place.
Soon, they crossed this area and came to the other side.
Standing where he was, Chen Heng paused, turned and looked forward.
Under his gaze, there is a huge building complex in front of him.
From the looks of it, this place should have been an industrial park before the disaster happened.
But now, the former prosperity has disappeared, and this place has become another look.
Everywhere, some bloodstains and some mummies can be seen from time to time.
From the looks of it, this place also suffered a disaster at the beginning and suffered a very huge loss.
"This is Kelongshan Park, and it was a very important place before the catastrophe happened."
Looking at the building in front of her, the girl said softly, "And when the catastrophe just started, this was also the key area where the catastrophe happened."
"The original cataclysmic beast appeared from five places, and this is one of them."
She said so, and then continued to explain: "Of course, after so many years, those mutant beasts that were here at the beginning should not be here long ago."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't try to come here to investigate something."
"What exactly are you planning to investigate here?"
Standing where he was, Chen Heng turned around, looked at the girl beside him, and asked involuntarily.
He was actually very curious about this question.
The world has become like this, and the catastrophe has already come.
And when the catastrophe just came, people in the whole world tried their best to research, but they couldn't research anything.
That being the case, why did they come here so persistently to investigate so many years after the catastrophe started, when humans had already evacuated from the surface world
As for the purpose of their investigation, at the beginning, the father of this body did not tell him, so Chen Heng did not know the specific circumstances of this matter.
"We came here to investigate because of an unexpected discovery"
Standing beside Chen Heng, listening to Chen Heng's words, the girl sighed, and then said: "About half a year ago, some of our researchers discovered some images."
"In the images, we captured some unique lives."
"They have a human-like appearance, and unlike those corpses, they have very clear intelligence."
"In the video we captured, we discovered that these beings seem to have a certain relationship with unknown forces appearing in the entire world, so we wanted to come and investigate."
The girl sighed, and then continued: "To this day, even though so many years have passed, until now, the reason why the Mutant Beast appeared in the first place is still not understood."
"That's why we want to take advantage of our last bit of time to investigate this matter."
"This is the last bit of role we can play."
"The reason for the emergence of mutant beasts."
Chen Heng frowned.
indeed.
Although so many years have passed, until now, the reason for the appearance of the mutant beast is still unclear to everyone.
But there is no doubt that the emergence of this disaster is unlikely to be a natural formation.
The unique structure of those mutated beasts, as well as the terrifying and abnormal evolutionary ability, are obviously not possessed by natural species.
In the beginning, it wasn't that no one wanted to figure out why.
But until now, no one has been able to fully understand this matter.
And the reason why the predecessor's father and others came here to investigate is to find out the truth
And what is the so-called truth
"actually."
Standing in front of Chen Heng, she seemed to feel Chen Heng's emotional changes. Standing where she was, the girl thought for a while, and finally spoke.
"In the previous inspection, we actually found something."
She turned around, looked at the huge building complex in front of her, and then said, "Inside, we found something special, with traces of intelligent life."
"It's just that before we could see clearly, we were found by a group of mutant beasts, and we were directly in danger."
She sighed and said so.
To a certain extent, this is actually one of the reasons why she is willing to follow Chen Heng and come to this place again.
Now that she finally saw the truth, no matter what angle she looked at, she was unwilling to give up halfway.
In the past, in order to obtain this truth, too many people have sacrificed.
And now that she has this opportunity, she will naturally come here again to see what this place looks like.
In order to obtain the truth, even if you die here, it doesn't matter.
It was with this feeling that she didn't refuse, and followed Chen Heng in front of her, and came to this place again.
"Is that so?"
Hearing what the girl in front of him said, Chen Heng nodded, understanding her mood.
Afterwards, he turned around, without saying anything, just took a step forward and walked forward silently.
He walked forward, and after walking for a while, he stopped and looked around.
From his point of view, it seems that there is nothing special about it.
In various places around, buildings stood just like this, nothing special could be seen.
If there is anything unusual about them, it is that most of these buildings are very old and look like they have been idle for many years.
But in today's context, this is actually not a strange thing.
After all, today, the disaster has come, and there are not many survivors in the entire world.
After the original owner disappeared, the dilapidated appearance in front of him was actually just a very normal thing.
Not surprising at all.
What really surprised Chen Heng was the aura lingering around.
After stepping into the area in front of him, he could feel that there seemed to be invisible lines of sight all around, secretly peeping at him.
But when he tried to find the source of that line of sight, that line of sight disappeared completely.
"Sure enough. It's a bit weird."
Standing where he was, he muttered to himself, then silently took steps and continued to walk forward.
In addition to the faintly visible line of sight everywhere, the concentration of the previously unknown force has also greatly increased in the surrounding places.
On the side, the girl clearly felt this change.
She picked up the instrument in her hand and began to measure seriously, and then got a result that made her face ugly.
"A full thousand times."
Standing beside Chen Heng, looking at the results displayed by the instrument in her hand, her face looked very ugly. At this time, she looked at Chen Heng and said so.
a thousand times.
This means that after entering this place, the rate of erosion in this place will be a thousand times that of the outside world.
Judging from this speed, the average person in this place may not take long for a mutation to occur, and a mutation reaction will occur directly.
