Even in the dark, Mo Ye's eyes were like colored glass, and his sight was like a flowing stream, brushing Wu Yun's nerves.
Wu Yun's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
It was clearly Zhou Yu's eyes, but it had a completely different feeling, as if something extended out of those eyes and wrapped around Wu Yun's breath.
"It's like this." Mo Ye smiled and straightened up.
Wu Yun gasped and regained his senses.
"Please don't make such jokes to me in the future." Wu Yun said coldly.
"Of course. If I play tricks on you, Zhou Yu will also be unhappy." Mo Ye's tone sounded as if he really cared about Zhou Yu.
Because the cave is too dark. Wu Yun's light-emitting rod fell off when he was fighting the dead dahlia. He just followed Mo Ye's voice and walked away. Suddenly, he tripped over a stone and almost stumbled. hold on.
"Hey," Mo Ye chuckled, "you can't die."
"Why can't I die?" Wu Yun, who stood firm, asked amusingly.
In Nibelungen, no one can guarantee that he will live to the end, whether it is Wu Yun or Zhou Yu.
"If you die, Zhou Yu will be sad."
Mo Ye turned around, but did not move forward.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll lend you some light, I'm afraid you'll break your head."
After speaking, I saw a faint blue light shining in front of me.
Then, a blue-light firefly flew towards Wu Yun.
Wu Yun was so shocked that he didn't dare to move, and those fireflies were just attached to the top of the cave, and the road under his feet was illuminated.
"Don't be afraid, they won't kill you." Zhou Yu turned his face and smiled.
Wu Yun froze, Zhou Yu like that seemed to come from another world.
They walked all the way, and the rock walls on both sides became narrower and narrower, as if to swallow them all.
"What do you want from Zhou Yu?" Wu Yun asked.
"What would you do if I took him as my prey?"
"Kill you." Wu Yun's face sank.
"Hahaha..." Mo Ye in Zhou Yu laughed, his shoulders trembling. Seems to have heard some extremely ridiculous joke.
"You think I'm very self-aware, don't you?" Wu Yun asked rhetorically.
"Yes, it's overkill. But that's what I admire most about being human."
"what?"
"For the things that you think are important, even if you give everything and the end is obvious, even if you are overestimated, you have to do it. It's really amazing."
Wu Yun looked at Zhou Yu's tall and straight back, and seemed to be able to see that Mo Ye was lonely in the end.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want from Zhou Yu?"
"He... is my nourishment..." Mo Ye replied.
Wu Yun couldn't tell whether this was a joke or the truth.
"He is my only sustenance, and I am like his parasite. If one day, the host dies, then it is impossible for me to live." Mo Ye smiled.
"This metaphor is so unique, I never thought it would come out of the mouth of an S-class creature one day."
They went deeper and deeper, and Wu Yun was stunned by what was on the stone wall.
There are many buds of dead dahlias growing on them, their petals are in a closed state, and they are much smaller than the one seen before.
Even so, there are still some small creatures lingering in the cave. These creatures, like the alienated field members before, have scales on their backs, white eyeballs, and no vision. They seem to be masterpieces of these flower buds. They seem to be able to sense the existence of Wu Yun and Mo Ye, but they dare not approach.
"This is why you will be attracted. These dead dahlias need someone to be their subjects, or nourishment." Mo Ye said.
"Are these... buds the descendants of that giant dead dahlia?" Wu Yun was surprised.
"Yes." Mo Ye replied.
Wu Yun drew his gun to be on guard, these buds could attack them at any time.
"Don't be so troublesome." Mo Ye stretched out his hand, stopped, closed his eyes, and an invisible force stretched out in all directions.
Wu Yun suddenly felt very stressed, and his heart seemed to be crushed.
The surrounding dead dahlias seemed to have been taken away from them, slipping down and decaying on the ground.
"You... you killed them?" Wu Yun covered his nose. There was a strong rancid smell in the cave.
Mo Ye frowned slightly: "It's not... these dead dahlias are all sick."
"What? Sick? This is the first time I've heard such a statement."
"Let's leave as soon as possible." Mo Ye quickened his pace, Wu Yun quickly followed, Mo Ye put on Zhou Yu's respirator and reminded Wu Yun, "Put on your respirator."
Wu Yun quickly put it on, it seems that Mo Ye is not joking.
"Will the creatures in the Nibelungen also get sick?" Wu Yun always thought that as long as there were no accidents, the creatures here would live as long as the sky.
"Of course. The Eidolon on Eidolon Island was wiped out because of the virus infection." Mo Ye replied, "And the reason why the dead dahlia lured you here is because its children are dying. It must get Sufficient nutrition to continue reproduction."
"I see."
"Maybe, it will be my turn soon." Mo Ye's voice echoed in the cave, with a hint of magic, as if walking between the gaps in hell.
"what?"
At this moment, a subtle light appeared in front of them, and they were about to walk to the exit.
When they stepped out, Wu Yun was stunned.
In front of you is a wide field of flats, and the green grass is dotted with small red flowers. When the wind blows, these small flowers break away from the grass and fly into the air, and then fall again.
A closer look reveals that the little flowers are actually some kind of insect.
Although the scenery is beautiful, Wu Yun realized a serious problem, how do they get back
And... Wu Yun glanced at the locator on his wrist.
"Why is there still feedback on Dr. Turin's biological information?" Wu Yun raised his eyes and looked at Mo Ye.
"What? Haven't you seen the so-called Dr. Turin in that cave?"
"I'm not sure, those people are all mutated, and they can't recognize who is who."
Mo Ye threw the team members on his shoulders, closed his eyes and raised his face, as if he was feeling something.
Suddenly, he quickly ran back to the hole.
"Hey! Mo Ye! What are you doing! You know that is Zhou Yu's body! Don't mess around!"
Wu Yun quickly replaced the magazine and chased after him.
Mo Ye's running speed was unusual, and Wu Yun even felt that he was about to fly.
The blue-light fireflies in the cave follow Mo Ye, like a layer of blue transparent smoke.
Wu Yun stepped on the remnant leaves of the dead dahlia bud, but luckily he didn't take off the mask, otherwise he would have been stinky to death.
They were back in the huge cave again.
Wu Yun was out of breath and finally caught up with Mo Ye.
Blue light fireflies illuminate the space.
Mo Ye raised his face, frowning very tightly.
Wu Yun was stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that there was something struggling in the heart of the dead dahlia that they thought had been killed by Mo Ye at the top of the cave.
"What is that..." Wu Yun narrowed his eyes.
The first thing I saw looked like someone's head, but it was covered in mucus, so it was hard to see what it looked like.
Mo Ye's eyes widened, and a force spread in the air, rushing in all directions like a shock wave.
The air was still, but Wu Yun felt a strong pressure, his breathing was restrained in his throat, his heart was beating harder than usual, his brain couldn't think or analyze the current situation, even his fingers had to touch the trigger. Can't do it.
Only to hear a "crashing", a person actually fell out of the flower heart and fell to the ground.
He twitched, his fingers stiffened, as if he couldn't breathe because of Mo Ye's abilities.
Mo Ye walked over, raised his foot and stepped on his head, the expression on his face was cold and ruthless. This was the first time Wu Yun saw Mo Ye with such an expression.
The guy he stepped on suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Mo Ye's ankle, preventing Mo Ye from exerting force.
Wu Yun discovered the tracker on this guy's arm and exclaimed, "He's Dr. Turin!"
"He's gone now." Mo Ye raised his foot, broke free from Turin's shackles, and stepped on it.
But he was dodged by him, and Mo Ye stepped on his ear.
Turin jumped up, agile and quick to be unlike a human, and jumped out.
Instead of walking along the ground, he quickly crawled along the wall of the cave, and in a blink of an eye, he got into a certain cave.
"What the hell happened to him! Was he alienated like those field crews?" Wu Yun had never seen such a scene before.
"He was really chosen by the Death Dahlia."
Mo Ye closed his eyes, those blue-light fireflies wandered in the cave like a bond, suddenly accelerated, and rushed into the cave where Turin escaped.
After more than ten seconds, the group of blue-light fireflies flew back from another cave, and they lingered beside Mo Ye.
"What's the matter? Did you send them to kill Dr. Turin?" Wu Yun asked.
"Yes, unfortunately it failed. The distance between me and Zhou Yu is too far, and since I was infected by Zhou Yu's spinal fluid, the power cannot be fully exerted." Mo Ye turned around and walked towards the exit, "Let's go, we go back."
"Go back? How to go back? Can you call the helicopter back?"
Wu Yun followed Mo Ye away, and the team member they dropped was still in a coma.
Wu Yun touched his neck and pulse.
"Sorry, I don't have a radio. But it's fine to take you on a flight."
After finishing speaking, the giant bird that had attacked Wu Yun and the others gliding down from the sky landed in front of them.
Wu Yun was about to aim his gun at it nervously, but Mo Ye walked in front of it unhurriedly.
It obediently lowered its head to Mo Ye, Mo Ye put his palm on it and touched it lightly, as if affirming the other party.
"Go up." Mo Ye turned around and raised his chin towards Wu Yun.
Only then did Wu Yun remember that Mo Ye was an S-class creature, and he possessed the ability to manipulate low-level creatures.
"Then Dr. Turin... what will happen to him?" Wu Yun asked worriedly.
Mo Ye turned around and looked at the hole where they came out: "I don't know... The world here is changing. And Dr. Turin, I and even you who came here are all part of this change."
Mo Ye lowered his body, dragged the collapsed team member up, tied the giant bird with ropes, Wu Yun also stepped on the giant bird's back, and they really flew.
The wind was so strong that Wu Yun had to grab the wing bones of the giant bird so that he could barely fall off.
After they flew over the woods, they could faintly see the periphery of the base, and the giant bird suddenly began to descend.
"What's the matter? We haven't arrived yet..."
Wu Yun turned his face and found that Mo Ye had his eyes open in the middle of the night, looking very sleepy.
"Hey! Mo Ye!"
Seeing that Mo Ye was about to fall, Wu Yun grabbed him.
"I... my energy has reached the limit... help me... help me bring Zhou Yu back... "
"what?"
The giant bird descended rapidly, and Wu Yun's face was almost blinded by the wind, like a roller coaster.
When the giant bird landed violently, Wu Yun's internal organs were about to collapse.
He untied Mo Ye's rope that bound them, and the three of them fell down with a bang. Feeling less weight, the giant bird took two steps and flew away.
Wu Yun let out a breath, turned his face to the side, and watched the giant bird fly farther and farther.
And the base... is still far away.
"Damn..." Wu Yun staggered to his feet and came to Zhou Yu's side worriedly to check his breathing and pulse. He was relieved to find that he was okay for the time being.
But how is he going to carry the two unconscious guys back to base
At this time, Song Zhi in the office received urgent news from the department that studied Mo Ye.
"Mr. Song! That S-class creature... Mo Ye... His signs are abnormal!"
Song Zhi, who was holding the teacup, froze his fingers: "Not normal? Why is it abnormal?"
"Before, his body temperature had been kept at human temperature, but after a scan just now, it was found that his temperature had dropped to below 30 degrees Celsius... His breathing was slow and his heart rate was decreasing... It was as if all the functions of the body were declining. …”
"Listen, it is absolutely not allowed to open that room! None of you are allowed to approach him!" Song Zhi put down the teacup and quickly walked out the door.
"Yes, sir!"
"How long has he been in this state?"
"Since Zhou Yu came to see him before his mission, he has been lying on his bed without moving."
A few minutes later, Song Zhi rushed to Mo Ye's room and looked at him through the glass.
According to the scan results, his body temperature has dropped to 18 degrees Celsius, and even his heartbeat has slowed to 12 seconds each time.
Song Zhi didn't speak, he knew very well that this distance was enough for Mo Ye to read his thoughts and enough for Mo Ye to convey his thoughts.
More than ten seconds passed, Mo Ye seemed to be testing Song Zhi's patience, and Song Zhi did not receive any information.
Song Zhi narrowed his eyes. From this angle, he could only see Mo Ye's soft black hair and his sideways back.
Mo Ye, what do you want to do
At this time, the monitoring staff told Song Zhi that Mo Ye's body temperature had dropped below ten degrees Celsius, and his heartbeat had almost stopped.
This made Song Zhi really worried.
Could it be because Zhou Yu's spinal fluid could not be metabolized from Mo Ye's body for a long time, causing his body to decline
Song Zhi put his palm on the glass: what do you want to do
The sleepy Mo Ye suddenly said, "Zhou Yu is just two kilometers away from the northwest of the base... Send someone to rescue him..."
His voice was conveyed to Song Zhi through surveillance.
Song Zhi was stunned for a while, and said to the glass: "How do you know? How is this possible? Zhou Yu has been sent to find Dr. Turin!"
And Mo Ye's voice came again: go and bring him back, I need him...
Mo Ye's voice was weak, and this was the first time Song Zhi clearly felt his exhaustion and weakness.
At that moment, Song Zhi suddenly realized that Mo Ye had not absorbed any nutrition since Zhou Yu returned to the original world. Even the most advanced creatures cannot survive without any intake. And a few months may have been the limit for Mo Ye.
Song Zhi immediately sent a helicopter to search for Zhou Yu in the direction Mo Ye said.
At this moment, Zhou Qing, who was observing the veins of the plants in front of the microscope, narrowed his eyes.
His eyes have been covered with some red blood, and he has been observing various plant samples all night these days.
Someone came to him and put a cup in his hand: "It's time for you to eat something."
The warm voice sounded, and Zhou Qing was so focused that his tense mind was slowly evacuated. He left the microscope, straightened his back, turned his face sideways, and met Bai Yingting's Qingjun's face.
"Professor Bai..."
"Can you tell me, what makes you sleepless like this? You have been observing these plants for a long time." Bai Yingting sat on the corner of Zhou Qing's desk. His legs were already long, and this posture seemed elegant and relaxed.
Zhou Qing raised his chin, he knew in his heart that his time was running out. If the glioma recurs again, Dr. Daniel may not be able to accurately operate on him. And the more operations, the more damage to his brain. So he always wanted to complete as much research as possible in a limited time.
Among the many researchers, perhaps only Bai Yingting is the only one who can understand him and communicate with him in this field.
Zhou Qing pushed all the three plant samples in front of him to Bai Yingting.
"These are swallowtail samples, E-class creatures, which belong to plants that have absolutely no autonomy and animal nerves."
"I know." Bai Yingting nodded, "The first of these three samples was taken from living swallowtail, and brought back after being frozen at low temperature.
The second is from swallowtail grass that is losing its vitality. And the last is a completely dead swallowtail. Did you find anything from these three samples? "
"We all thought that as long as there was no excessive sunlight, rain and other biological damage, Nibelung plants would continue to grow and their lives could last for thousands of years."
"Yes. That's why we came here to study, to crack their longevity code and apply it to humans."
"But these swallowtails... The second sample, its sunshine, rain, soil environment and humidity, temperature and the location of the first sample are not much different, so what is the reason why it is withering? As for the third The same goes for the dead swallowtail. I've been looking for the cause of the swallowtail death, and I found... Some kind of black speck in the veins of the dying swallowtail. As for the dead swallowtail, it was almost covered by this blackness The spots are completely eroded!" Zhou Qing looked at Bai Yingting with bright eyes, and he waited for Bai Yingting to give him a response.
"Have you tested these black spots?"
"In the beginning, I thought the spots were like signs of plants in our world that had turned yellow due to a lack of a certain nutrient or had been eaten by bugs, but after testing... I thought it was some kind of virus! Not only that, after my days Observing different stages of decay of the same type of plants, I think that a virus is probably spreading in Nibelungen. Once infected with this virus, the organisms here... At least these plants will lose their self-healing ability and continue to grow. Weak, and eventually die."
"Losing self-healing ability?" Bai Yingting's elegant brows frowned slightly.
This made Zhou Qing nervous. Is it because his conjecture was not accepted by the other party.
Although this is the conclusion drawn after observing and testing countless kinds of plants, it is based on quantification, but it has not been fully demonstrated.
"In our world, both humans and ordinary creatures have a certain level of immunity, which allows us to resist diseases. But once infected with diseases that attack the immune system, the situation is very tricky, such as HIV virus. Let's assume... There is a similar virus in this world... So how many creatures will be infected?" Bai Yingting looked at Zhou Qing, "You are only observing E- or D-level plants, what about higher plants? What about other organisms? Are they able to resist this virus? If not, is it possible that organisms have evolved another form of resistance to this virus?"
Zhou Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Bai Yingting's thinking to go further than his own.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Bai Yingting supported the table with one hand, leaning towards Zhou Qing.
"Because..." Zhou Qing didn't know how to describe his mood for a while.
"Because it's easier for me to keep up with your thoughts than other unimaginative mortals?" Bai Yingting smiled.
"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded, "And in order to verify my conjecture... I need more plant samples, not only E-level... but also higher-level ones!"
