After driving away the group of crocodiles, chameleons, geckos and other creatures, the trip to the swamp became smoother. There were no more sudden attacks by strange evolved creatures. Tu Zishi also collapsed on the boat and it was difficult to predict what was going on.
"There are countless difficult creatures in the swamp. Why is the lord of this environment such a monster with a single means of attack? In fact, the blood frogs and mosquitoes cause more harm to us. Large monsters are easier to attack and hide." Several team leaders with leadership qualifications surrounded Liang Xian and asked in confusion.
They are the leadership team of the future superpower team, and are working hard to absorb the knowledge of the other world like a sponge.
"It's easy to deal with because we have a large number of people and a variety of superpowers. If it's just swamp creatures, they will evolve in a single direction, and a species will only have one or two characteristics, and these evolutions will not work on the reptile monster." Liang Xian explained, "Reptiles can release fog, which will greatly hinder the pace of swamp creatures. Not to mention the visibility problem, the moisture in the fog will wet the wings of flying creatures, making it difficult for them to move. Monsters that dive into the mud can cover up their own smell. Vision, hearing, and smell are all covered up, and perception ability is reduced, making it difficult for other creatures to detect its attack. In addition, its thick skin and flesh can block the counterattacks of most groups of creatures, making it invincible in the swamp. Coupled with its powerful attack power, it constitutes the necessary conditions for the swamp overlord."
Seeing the young soldiers thinking seriously about his words, Liang Xian nodded secretly. Their team was young, but they were growing steadily.
Finally, they arrived at the teleportation point smoothly. Liang Xian counted the number of people. 58 were seriously injured, 198 were slightly injured, and 167 were exhausted. Including ordinary people, there were only 77 people out of 500 who were still intact. This number also included Tan Yan and Xiaolu.
But they were successful, because no one died in this battle, and most of the seriously injured were people with special abilities and strong recovery abilities. As long as they were given enough rest time, they would definitely recover without any sequelae.
In contrast, they gained combat experience against the alien world, the possibility of teamwork among people with special abilities, and the admiration and recognition of ordinary people in the Allied countries.
Taking into account Tan Yan’s memory chip, this operation can be said to be a great victory!
"Are you ready?" Tan Yan confirmed for the last time standing in front of the teleportation point.
After counting the people under their charge, each team leader nodded. They put their hands on Tan Yan's not-so-broad back and followed him into the teleportation point.
After 17 hours and 38 minutes, the team from another world finally returned victorious.
Home, what a beautiful word.
After experiencing the feeling of being disassembled and reassembled again, the group appeared in the old cemetery area of Ping County. Minister Yu led the team and the entourage of the Allied countries to look at the embarrassed faces of the returning soldiers and raised their hands in unison.
Minister Yu's resonant voice echoed among the crowd: "Salute to the triumphant heroes!"
Looking at the team in front of them who were paying them the highest respect, the superpower warriors supported each other and smiled.
After such an unusual mission, while paying with blood and sweat, they felt a deep sense of pride in their hearts.
Hero, what a beautiful word!
A foreign researcher held Minister Yu's hand and said excitedly: "Thank you for allowing us to participate in this operation, so that we can experience firsthand how dangerous and terrifying the alien world is, how magical the superpowers are, and how unity is such a powerful force. As you said, these superpower warriors have just awakened their superpowers, and they are so immature and look like minors. But when they gather everyone's weak power under the order of the leader, the combined power is enough to fight against a dangerous world! I deeply understand that in the context of the times, selfishness and disputes are not desirable, and all mankind must unite! I am a small person with little influence, and one person's words may not be able to influence the decision-making of the country's leaders, but I believe that as long as our team works together, we will be able to promote cooperation among all mankind! Perhaps this process will be very long, and I will not see this day for ten or twenty years, or even in my lifetime, but I am willing to use my life, the lives of my students, and the lives of my students' students to make this happen!"
Minister Yu's heart warmed after receiving such sincere words. He shook the hand of this international friend tightly, with the words "a single spark can start a prairie fire" echoing in his mind.
There are more than 20,000 superpower warriors in the country, each of them is a spark. They keep burning themselves, and one day they will illuminate the entire doomsday and bring light to mankind that is as bright as the scorching sun!
Reporters from the foreign delegation faithfully photographed the scene of Minister Yu and the scholar clasping hands. This handshake, which had epoch-making significance, was written into world history textbooks hundreds of years later and was hailed by later generations as a milestone handshake in the history of human evolution.
"This is a memory chip for defensive capabilities," Tan Yan handed the chip implanted in his arm to Qiao Zhixue, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
Even a calm person like Qiao Zhixue couldn't help but give Tan Yan a warm hug after getting the defense chip that can absorb "void" energy.
This tiny chip is the hope of the next generation of mankind. With it, ordinary people who are caught in the "void" can be prevented from being hurt to the greatest extent, the survival rate can be increased, and the burden on rescuers can be reduced.
From April 2018 to date, after more than a year of hard work by the National Bureau of Technology Security and the Superpower Team, the battle against the "void" and the end of the world has finally made a breakthrough. With the successful development of the memory chip, mankind has taken the first step on the road to evolution.
The road ahead is still difficult, and success is still far away. On this road, countless ordinary people and superpower fighters will shed their blood, and countless lives will remain in another world and never be able to return home. The struggle of the superpower team will not bring peace, but will only make more people sacrifice consciously.
Even so, they still have to hold hands and move forward firmly, using their lives to ignite the fire of hope and illuminate all darkness.
The members of the Special Power Team were sent to the hospital, and the soldiers who were not selected to participate in this operation came to visit them, envious of them for having the opportunity to gain experience and glad that they all survived.
The young soldiers hugged each other. For the first time in the military hospital, there was no pain, only joy.
After the revelry, they lined up and ran to Tan Yan, and the whole team shouted in unison: "Thank you, Instructor Tan, Instructor Lu!"
The voice of one person is very small, but the voices of countless people make the ground shake.
The deer had very sensitive hearing and was frightened by the sound and took a step back. He was very confused as to why a weakling who could be knocked down by his foot could have such a force that made him retreat.
Tan Yan placed his hand on the deer's back and patted it gently to comfort it.
"Don't be afraid, this is the power of the collective." Tan Yan said softly, "You are strong, and I am strong too. We are capable of becoming the leaders of this era and guiding the changes of the times, but the real implementers are them."
Xiaolu looked up at Tan Yan in confusion. No matter how smart he was, and able to understand all the theories in books, he could never understand the human heart.
"You are stronger than them now, and so am I. But one day, we will be defeated by their joint attack, and will eventually be exhausted in the relentless struggle. By then, the waves behind will push the waves ahead, and we will eventually be buried on the beach of history, creating the glory of a new generation." Tan Yan looked into Xiaolu's eyes and said seriously, "This is inheritance."
Neither the little deer nor the God No. 2 on the antlers understood the profound meaning of these words, but that did not prevent them from engraving Tan Yan's words firmly in their hearts.
One day, they will understand humans better and better, and see both the good and the bad sides of this creature. Then, they will truly understand.
After saluting Tan Yan, this group of energetic young people ran to find Liang Xian and the members of the superpower team. They lifted the members of the superpower team up and threw them into the sky. These scenes were frozen in Tan Yan's eyes and engraved in his mind.
Why would the space traveler choose to stay in this world after meeting the young Tan Yan, would do everything he could to fulfill the young Tan Yan's wish, and would be willing to devote his life silently in an ordinary position
Because he saw fire in the eyes of that young eighteen-year-old.
That was a fire that space travelers had never experienced in their thousand-year journey.
And now, he is like a torchbearer, igniting the spark in every young person's heart.
A thousand-year journey can come to an end in this era, which is also a perfect circle.
"I remember when I first came to Ping County, you still found me annoying." Minister Yu walked behind Tan Yan and said with a smile, "Your eyes were full of disdain, and you didn't respect me as a minister at all. You even knocked me out in the other world and carried me back like a sack. It was me who pulled you out of the same life you had lived for forty years, forced you to tell the secret of the 'void', forced you to go to college, interact with these young people, learn advanced mathematics, English, and quantum mechanics, and used the mission as an excuse to force you to do everything you didn't want to do. Do you blame me?"
Tan Yan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled with relief: "I blamed you at first. I probably didn't have a sense of belonging to this world at that time. I just wanted to realize the wish of the young Tan Yan and fight for the people who had been good to him until the last moment. You disturbed my peace."
"And now?"
"Now..." Tan Yan opened his eyes and looked at the group of revelers, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
"Your birthday is in a dozen days, your sixtieth birthday. I wanted to hold a retirement ceremony for you, but Liang Xian said he wanted to spend time alone with you." Minister Yu shook his head. "This brat said with a sad face that you and I are rarely together, and that we are in a different world when we just started dating, which is worse than a long-distance relationship. On your birthday, he took a day off to be alone with you. He even stopped Xiaolu from giving you a gift."
Tan Yan looked at Liang Xian who was thrown into the sky in surprise. He still remembered that on his birthday last year, Liang Xian brought him a bouquet of flowers in another world with a deer, which made him realize his feelings and learn not to leave any regrets.
"Hush," Minister Yu smiled kindly, "Just pretend you don't know and wait for him to surprise you. Don't let him know it was me who said that."
After saying this, he winked mischievously.
The author has something to say: Putting the end of the world, global evolution, at the end symbolizes not just one world, it symbolizes the future of all mankind.
