"The things are with me. We didn't bring all of them back because there are too many things over there." Lou Feier took off the backpack on her back and handed it to Xu Xin. "Although the room looks small, those boxes are actually similar to our backpacks and have storage space. We can't bring all of them back. We can only bring back some of each to show you."
Xu Xin took the backpack and was a little surprised, but it made sense. After all, the backpacks they were using now actually used the same technology.
The crystal house is not big, about 40 to 50 square meters, the size of a living room, but if each box has the space to store a lot of things, then...
The number of things left behind by his hundreds-year-old self was probably far beyond his imagination.
"What about that room..." Xu Xin looked at the three of them, "How did you deal with it? Did you close the door?"
"Well..." The three girls looked at each other, and Jin Yue spoke up, "The door closed by itself."
"You closed it yourself?"
"That's right. Because the door was very heavy, after we came out, we wanted Zeng Tao to close the door, but before she could do that..."
"The door suddenly and quickly closed automatically, with a bang!" Zeng Tao took over the conversation, "I was so scared that my hand was almost caught! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would be missing a hand now!"
Jin Yue continued: "That's right. Later we tried to open the door again, but we couldn't push it open no matter what."
Lou Feier said indifferently: "They were worried that they could no longer open it. I think it should be you who can open it. You pushed the door so easily at the beginning, so we came back first."
Xu Xin nodded.
This was beyond his expectations.
In that room, he should be the only one who could open the door. He had this feeling before he went there.
This is not a bad idea, as it saves me from having to worry about things in the house being secretly taken away.
“So, there are a lot of different kinds of stuff?”
As he spoke, Xu Xin opened his backpack.
"Each box contains a different item. You can see for yourself. We can't really say for sure!" Zeng Tao immediately got excited. "Look, look! They are really good stuff!"
The first item taken out was a piece of clothing that looked like a firefighter's suit.
"… This is?"
Anti-radiation clothing (purple): clothing that can prevent radiation damage and has good protection against various types of radiation. Most importantly, it can prevent mutation, mental disorder and mind control under the exposure to blood!
Wow…
This is a good thing.
The bloody light should refer to the red light that appears when a great disaster is about to happen, right
That was the most powerful weapon of the alien invaders at that time.
At the moment when he was exposed to the red light produced by the crack of the radioactive stone, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if something was trying to drill out of his scalp, and his head hurt.
If we get this anti-radiation suit, we won't have to worry about that kind of situation, right
"I found this radiation protection suit. There are so many of them. The crystal box is full of them." Zeng Tao said, "There are too many. I can't count them all. I feel like... there are probably thousands of them!"
Thousands of radiation protection suits
Could it be that these were old clothes passed down by that group of people
A total of three anti-radiation suits were brought back in the backpack. Xu Xin took them out one by one and compared them.
Sure enough, the condition of each radiation protection suit was slightly different, and one of them even had slight damage on the cuffs.
This is indeed used.
… Could this be considered as a relic of those people
Come to think of it, those people back then all sent their past selves into the future, right
Those people should all be survivors. So, they can be considered as inheritors of their own relics.
After putting away the anti-radiation suit, Xu Xin took out the second item from his backpack.
This one... a small medicine bottle about the size of your thumb.
Genetic Medicine (Gold): A medicine that can suppress bloodline mutations and regain control of oneself.
At the same time, this drug can image the genes of the new cells of the injectee and activate the telomerase activity of the new cells, so that all cells in the body of the injectee can undergo unlimited and controllable replication, achieving immortality in a sense.
Need to be used with an injection device.
This thing, is it the important potion that Yingying in the video specifically told him about
Activate telomerase activity to achieve controlled replication…
This is... truly achieving eternal life!
He had some knowledge about the topic of immortality before. After all, everyone is afraid of death, and everyone wants to know if there is any way to prolong life.
Telomerase is an enzyme responsible for telomere elongation.
Telomeres are called the "mitotic clock" of cell life. When a cell divides, the telomere of each chromosome will gradually become shorter and eventually become unable to divide.
Telomerase can fill in the telomeres lost during DNA replication, repair and extend the telomeres, prevent the telomeres from being lost due to cell division, and increase the number of cell divisions.
In normal human cells, the activity of telomerase is strictly regulated. Active telomerase can only be detected in hematopoietic cells, stem cells and germ cells, which must continue to divide.
When human cells differentiate and mature, they must meet the needs of various tissues in the body and perform their respective functions. As a result, the activity of telomerase will gradually disappear.
Cells, tissues, and organs that no longer divide gradually age, and the human body reaches the end of its life.
Therefore, studying telomerase is a direction for studying immortality.
But this enzyme is difficult to control.
In fact, in a normal human body, there are also some ordinary cells that are unwilling to be lonely and want to live forever. Their telomerase activity is very strong and can divide indefinitely.
Almost everyone is very familiar with this type of cell.
cancer cell.
The culprit of cancer.
The telomerase activity of cancer cells is abnormally high. Once the telomeres are damaged during cell division, telomerase can immediately repair the damage to the telomeres and achieve unlimited division.
However, because cancer cells are uncontrollable, their extremely rapid division and spread rate can lead to the birth of tumors in the human body.
If these cells that can divide wildly are not discovered for a long time, they will spread throughout the body through blood circulation and other means, and the cancer will enter the late stage and will be incurable.
Cells that desire immortality ultimately lead to the premature death of the individual. Perhaps this is the body's struggle against longevity.
But he didn't expect that the potion in his hand could actually achieve controllable infinite splitting!
Isn’t this true eternal life!
Of course, even if you live a long life, you will still die.
But... that would be the case of starving to death, freezing to death, or being killed. Death from old age is basically impossible. With a body that remains young and energetic, and has a strong immune system, it would even be difficult to die from illness, unless there is an extremely strong virus that the human body cannot withstand.
This is really a top-notch stuff!
"How much of this thing have you discovered?" Xu Xin immediately turned to look at the three women.
"I found this." Lou Fei'er was already sitting on the sofa, touching her cocoa. When she heard what Xu Xin said, she immediately looked up and said, "Not many. I counted them. There are only about a hundred in total, right?"
Aren’t more than a hundred a lot
It can allow more than a hundred people to have a lifespan close to immortality!
He was really shocked.
He thought there were only a dozen or twenty of these things at most, or even in the single digits.
Unexpectedly, there were hundreds of them!
Then at least these explorers can achieve super long lifespan.
good!
Xu Xin searched the backpack again but did not find the syringe mentioned in the introduction.
"You didn't bring the syringe back?" Xu Xin turned his head and looked at her.
"Syringe?" Lou Feier was stunned. "What syringe? Isn't this medicine meant to be drunk?"
Xu Xin frowned: "No syringe?"
"No..." Lou Fei'er was a little confused, "Are these the only medicines in the box?"
… What
Can’t inject
At this time, Jin Yue on the side spoke up: "The syringe you mentioned might be a device that cannot be moved in that room."
"Oh?" Xu Xin turned and looked at her.
"There was a crystal table in that room, and on the table was a crystal instrument, all connected to the crystal house. That instrument... seemed to want to reach a hand in." Jin Yue recalled.
"Ah! I remember it too!" Zeng Tao, who was lying on the sofa and touching Coco's ear, looked up immediately, "That thing is so strange, it can't trigger the introduction. I even put my arm in it to try, but it didn't work."
"That!" Lou Fei'er also realized it, and then rolled her eyes at her, "How dare you put your arm in there."
"Hey, isn't it okay?"
Xu Xin then breathed a sigh of relief. That was no problem.
Fortunately, there is an injection device, otherwise it would be too painful to just look at it without being able to use it.
However, this means that if one wants to inject this potion, one needs to go to the crystal house, and only he can open that crystal house, which means that he has complete control over the use of this potion.
Is this also the benefit given to him by his hundreds-year-old self
It’s not bad, at least there’s no need to worry about the potion being stolen by bad people.
After putting the genetic medicine away, Xu Xin rummaged through his backpack again and found another medicine.
Giant Beast Bloodline Potion (Purple): Take orally, no injection required. After taking it, digesting and absorbing it, you will acquire the giant beast bloodline, or enhance the existing giant beast bloodline and accelerate the growth of your body, but it requires a huge amount of energy. It is best to prepare a huge amount of things before taking it.
This medicine is also packed in a small bottle, but this bottle is different from the sealed bottle just now. This one has a unscrewed lid, so you can drink it directly by unscrewing it.
Behemoth Bloodline Potion
"There are a lot of bottles of this kind of medicine. The crystal box is full of them. I can't even count them. There must be at least thousands of bottles, right?" Lou Fei'er said, "I can't say more, but... just like the previous medicine, there was basically no introduction. They just told me that it was a strange genetic medicine, and nothing else. But you must know what it is, right?"
Of course Xu Xin knew.
Perhaps, the identification ability given to him by his hundreds-year-old self was more for him to use in identifying these special materials.
He held two bottles of potion and briefly explained their functions to the three women.
Then they all looked at the bottle of genetic medicine one by one.
They are not interested in the giant beast blood potion, but this genetic potion is really attractive!
"This thing... is so powerful! It can give me eternal life and eternal youth?" Zeng Tao's eyes widened and she almost pounced on it to snatch it away.
"... We should have a long lifespan, right?" Jin Yue leaned against the wall and said, "Our mutant bloodline also has this effect."
"Hmm... I don't think so." Lou Feier shook her head and said, "This blood vein mutation should only be able to prolong life, not immortality."
She pointed to the blood veins on her arm and said, "I am now close to advanced mutation and am very familiar with this bloodline. I have a feeling that as long as I successfully advance to advanced mutation, my life span can be extended by a few hundred years, but immortality should be impossible. The most I can achieve is... a thousand years of life."
"Is there such a saying?" Xu Xin asked with some surprise.
"Well... it's just my feeling." Lou Feier said a little embarrassedly, "But... I don't think it should be wrong."
If what Lou Feier said is correct, then it means that blood pattern mutation can extend a person's lifespan, but only to a thousand years at most
…If this is true, then the time on Changyin’s side can be confirmed.
Mimi and the others, probably just as Changyin said, only stayed underground for about fifty years.
And Chang Yin turned into a stone statue in a disaster a thousand years ago, and awakened about fifty years ago and began to welcome survivors
No... When I first met Chang Yin, he seemed to say that he was still a normal human being when he met the first batch of survivors, but it was those survivors who turned him into that horrible appearance.
I don’t understand…
Forget it. I’ll ask Chang Yin in detail next time I see him.
However, if the blood-marked creatures can extend their lifespan to a thousand years, then hundreds of bottles of genetic medicine will become even more precious!
What a great stuff.
"By the way," Lou Feier looked around at this time, "Has Wen Xi gone back yet? I wanted to tell her about our experience this time."
"Yes!" Zeng Tao also reacted at this time and looked around. "There were so many unexpected events just now that I almost forgot about your sister. Didn't your sister come? Where is she? Is she as tall as me?"
"It's like this..."
Xu Xin sighed, put down the backpack in his hand, and told the three girls what had just happened.
"What?! Wen Xi is missing?"
"ah?"
"this… "
The three women were all very shocked.
Speaking of this, Xu Xin became a little worried again, and called Ma Hongwei who was still guarding Li Wenxi's tree house to ask, "What's going on over there? Is anyone coming?"
"No, Brother Xin. There is no one here. The bugs have completely retreated. It is very quiet around here. There are no people, not even any animals."
"...Okay, I understand. Um... I'll send her people back soon, and then you can come back."
"good."
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin rubbed his temples.
It's going to be fine. We don't need to worry too much about their safety. They weren't taken away by the enemy.
Yingying will not be an enemy and will not harm Wenxi.
But Wenxi is a very important logistical support for them now. To kidnap her at this critical time, Yingying is really...
"So, the sister-in-law ran away with my sister-in-law?" Zeng Tao was a little surprised, "This sister-in-law is so strong! So is she as tall as me?"
“… Much taller than you.” Xu Xin patted her head and said.
"… cut!"
"Hmm...your sister took Wen Xi away." Lou Fei'er asked curiously, "Why did she take Wen Xi away? Does your sister know her?"
"How could she know Wen Xi? I haven't seen her here before... That's not right." Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.
Maybe she... really knows Wen Xi.
… Or Xu Xin himself told her that.
Very detailed!
That’s right, that’s what he said to Yingying, who was still in the past and had not been sent over, when he was on the second floor of the palace and used a special state to return to the past!
At that time, she knew about the relationship between Wen Xi and him, and was very interested in her, asking a lot of questions about her!
She knows Wen Xi's abilities!
Could it be that...
Did she take Wen Xi away because of his abilities
Wen Xi's ability to discover metal ores is very useful to Yingying
Um…
He shook his head and pulled out another tool from his backpack.
Crystal Pickaxe (Gold): A super powerful crystal pickaxe that can mine all minerals except its own material. It has a certain chance to trigger a tenfold mining effect.
Are there any tools
A pickaxe for mining ore
This thing seems to be made by Li Wenxi. It can even trigger multiplier mining. Isn’t this Li Wenxi’s ability
… etc…
Could this be... something made by Li Wenxi
Wen Xi also has special abilities, so she must have been a member of that team. Wen Xi's ability as a prospector was also given to her by that team using a biochip, so perhaps this was her original ability.
… So, this pickaxe might have been made by Wen Xi, who lived for hundreds of years.
"There is only one pickaxe." This time it was Jin Yue who explained, "and it's either in a box or in the house. It's an advanced mining pickaxe."
Is there only one...
"Are there any metal mines among these resources?" Xu Xin asked immediately.
"No!"
“No.”
"I don't think so, right?"
The three women all shook their heads.
Xu Xin sighed.
It seems that it is not feasible to expect these resources to temporarily fill the logistical gap caused by Wen Xi's departure.
The stock of metal ore is running low now. The metal ore has not been mined in the past two days of hot summer, and the two previous big killers have consumed a lot of it.
Wen Xi's position in the team is so important and indispensable, otherwise all heavy weapons will be shut down at this stage.
He really wanted to give Yingying, who came to cause trouble, a smack on the head.
…Everyone will be gathering soon, and we must discuss this matter.
Find his sister Xu Ying as soon as possible and bring Wen Xi back!
