After passing through the last piece of deep mountain jungle, the outline of the Z city base appeared in the eyes of Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang.
From outside the shade of the trees, she could see the towering outline of the base with a little step on her feet. The city walls outside Z City were first covered with special metals and potions to stabilize the walls and dispel the beasts, and then tied a layer of tense outside the city. Strong outwardly bulging shackles, like an indifferent steel city.
But it is such a town that embodies the advanced wisdom of human beings. At this time, the walls outside the town were also smashed by something, and a section fell off to the ground.
The city gate that was wide open in the past was also tightly closed at this time, and only a small opening was opened under the city gate. Those who came in and out were all evolutionary people, and they had to be irradiated by infrared sensory instruments.
The wasteland era, which has been advancing for three years, seems to have returned to the moment when the apocalypse had just arrived in a few days, full of vigilance and fear of the outside world, and wrapped himself in a thick and heavy armor.
But Yin Yiliu knew that this was a helpless move.
After the entire line of Darkeners broke out, at least 40% to 60% of the aliens became monsters that were opposed to humans overnight. They would occupy the human body, devour human consciousness, and turn into ugly and terrifying aliens. star creature.
In this case, the human beings living in the base civilization can only build high walls to keep the danger out, so as to protect the fire of human civilization.
The mutant leopard that followed her all the way was silently tearing at the wound she gave to the bag on the soles of her feet, lying on the ground and arching back and forth.
Those nails are covered with rust and bacteria. Even if the mutant beasts have strong resistance and recovery ability, the little guy in front of him is only a cub, and his eyes are full of tears because of his bloody claws. Remembrance Liu.
Yin Yiliu was softened by the wet eyes of the beast, so she took out disinfectant and gauze from the space and wrapped its big claws into two "steamed buns".
It noticed that Yin Yiliu turned back, and the teeth that were pulling the gauze on the soles of the feet suddenly paused, and raised his head to look at the woman walking towards him, with a very good expression.
Yin Yiliu squatted down, rubbed the furry head of the little beast with the palm of his hand, and said warmly, "It's enough to get here, two kilometers ahead is the deep mountain jungle, let you be free."
The deep mountains and jungles are always so deep and peaceful, and there are countless lives that have developed and prospered after the apocalypse are contained in them. The little beast is a part of the jungle, and only there can it be truly free.
The soft touch of the fur under the palm of her hand reminded her of the feeling of lying on Xiao Hei's body when she was in the courtyard. The same is true of the arrogant black wolf, with its smooth and smooth fur, which makes people not want to let go.
She missed the time at that time a little, and she sighed in her heart that she didn't know how majestic that young beast grew up to now.
She knew that something like gauze was uncomfortable for mutant beasts. After making sure that the flesh of the mutant leopard's feet began to grow and glued, she gently pulled it off and rubbed the little guy's head again, motioning it to move towards the deep mountain. into the depths of the jungle.
"Go."
Now is the time when the atmosphere between humans and mutant creatures and darkeners is at a stalemate. Rushing into the city with a small beast will definitely attract the attention of people who are interested. Moreover, for this wild leopard, the jungles that are prosperous today are the most suitable for it. The place.
Although the mutant leopard does not have human-like intelligence, it is very smart and can roughly understand the kindness or malice sent by humans. For a leopard raised in a human base as a driving beast since childhood, the yearning for nature and freedom is deep in its bones. s things.
Even if it likes Yin Yiliu very much, it does not mean that it is willing to return to human society, to the grass hut that brought it humiliation and bondage.
There were two subtle whimpers in its throat, and it rubbed and rubbed its furry head under Yin Yiliu's palm, keeping it warm for several minutes.
Until Jin Yang turned his head slightly impatiently, and the brows concealed under the translucent mask frowned, a little guy who was humming beside Yin Yiliu was keenly aware that this very terrifying man gradually had something on his body. A dangerous atmosphere, so it turned back in three steps, looking back behind while walking towards the deep mountain jungle.
After the figure of the mutant beast gradually disappeared from Yin Yiliu's eyes, she and Jin Yang walked towards the Z city base step by step.
When he could see the doorway outside the small door, Yin Yiliu suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of Jin Yang beside him.
And Jin Yang seemed to know what she was thinking, and the lips exposed under the mask drew a faint arc towards her, as if to comfort him: "Go in".
He knew what Tutu was hesitating because of himself, because he didn't like it here, because Tutu took him to heart.
This clear cognition was undoubtedly revealed in Yin Yiliu's eyes, which warmed Jin Yang's heart.
Although Yin Yiliu couldn't see his face clearly, she could still imagine how the man would look when he laughed, and her heart suffocated.
As Jin Yang had done countless times before, he stretched out his palm, as if he was treating the little milk bun who used to only reach his legs, rubbed Yin Yiliu's head with his palm, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yin Yiliu tilted her head to hide her uncontrollable smile, "Well."
The figures of the two had just appeared within the checkable range of City Z, and the recorder who was monitoring the communication on the city wall caught it. Looking at the familiar man and woman on the screen, he slightly widened his eyes and said, "Cum!" Immediately get up from the chair.
The companion beside him looked suspicious, "Why did you suddenly see a mutant beast?"
The man didn't say anything. You must know that the coming person is more heart-pounding than the mutant beast. He was fortunate enough to be on the same team with these two in a previous rescue activity. Under their leadership, it was obviously a dangerous task. solved.
Since then, he has deeply remembered these two people, it was Jin Yang and Yin Yiliu who announced their departure from Z City a few months ago.
He took out the communicator in his arms and reported to the top.
In just a few minutes, a white afterimage passed quickly on the block of the city base. Pedestrians on the street only saw an extremely fast white light, with huge wings fanning the north wind, and their bodies were like fish swimming in the water at the base of the base. Fly at low altitude.
There was an evolutionary man who had just walked out of the shop and was still picking his teeth, looking at the silhouette that was swiftly passing by in the air, and suddenly stopped, raised his chin and said, "Isn't that the little girl the captain chased, hurrying? Where are you going?"
Several people were wearing protective gear with excellent defense and excellent weapons, and a red lotus in full bloom was printed on the armor on their backs, and their identity marks were very obvious on the street.
The people around him shrugged, "Who knows."
At this time, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang were stuck before entering the gate of Z City, and the scientific researcher wearing an isolation mask said coldly; Entrainment is not allowed…”
As he was talking, there was a small figure hovering and whistling above the city gate. The man had a pair of huge wings and carried the red-golden sunlight on his back, so he couldn't see her figure clearly.
Yin Yiliu's long hair in front of her forehead was blown a bit messy, and her almond eyes were stabbed by the sun. She covered her eyes with her armoured arm, squinting at the girl who kept falling from the sky, her face couldn't bear it. Stay smiling.
At the moment of landing, the huge wings behind Xiaoxiao suddenly gathered behind him, and the tip of the long tail swept on the ground as she moved forward eagerly.
Her eyes were already red, she threw herself into Yin Yiliu's arms, wrapped her arms tightly around the woman's neck, and staggered back with a sudden force.
"You're too cruel, you didn't send us a message after walking for so long!"
Looking at the pitiful little girl in front of her, Yin Yiliu couldn't help touching the tip of her nose.
In front of Jin Yang, she didn't need to worry about anything, because there was always someone behind her who would support her and let her go and fight.
No matter when you look back, the golden thigh is always behind you and is the strongest backing.
But once she returns to City Z and is with this group of partners, she will always hide something unconsciously, trying her best to be a good captain, take care of the teammates who trust her and rely on her, and become the backing of her teammates.
Xiaoxiao's arrival brought Li Zhenjiang's personal travel order. After confirming the lord's hand letter, the inspecting researchers turned on the infrared of the base to let Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang in.
The overall atmosphere of the base in Z City was the same as when it left, and the chaos and desolation of the small bases outside could not be seen. Everything was operating in an orderly manner, whether it was the base or the people in the base.
But at the same time, some things are quietly changing.
Xiaoxiao has a special status in the base. Most people have seen her and know that this young girl is the lord's confidant, but Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang beside her are strangers. Most people in the base are strangers. I've only heard of the name of 'The Fallen Killers', but I don't know what they look like.
At the corner of a narrow alley, Yin Yiliu passed a male evolutionary person.
The man reacted very loudly, as if there was an electric current spreading through his whole body from the point of contact, he ducked away in the opposite direction of the several people, and looked at Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang obscurely and vigilantly.
All of this is because a large number of xenomorph teammates suddenly turned into darkers. One second, they were chatting and laughing with their teammates, and the next second they would mutate and tear their teammates' throats with sharp teeth.
No one can guarantee that their friends and even pedestrians on the street will not become assimilated monsters, so everyone is carefully distanced from others.
Sensing that this rigid atmosphere of distrust was gradually spreading in the base, Yin Yiliu's joy in her heart also faded a little.
Along the way, Xiaoxiao chatted with Yin Yiliu about her life in the Z city base in the past few months. She watched Jin Yang keep falling behind her, keeping a distance from the two girls, and her eyes suddenly lit up. When he got to Yin Yiliu's side, he grabbed the captain's arm and started gossip.
She winked, turned her eyes towards the direction behind her, lowered her excited voice and asked in a low voice, "It's been so long, have you taken him down yet?"
Yin Yiliu had a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment on her face, and the back of her neck was stiff. She knew that Jin Yang's ears were so perverted that she could even hear movements from a thousand meters away, not to mention Xiaoxiao's words within a few meters. sound.
Sure enough, when Jin Yang, who had been following the two women, heard Xiaoxiao's question, his expression hidden under the mask was stunned for a moment, and then his auricle trembled a little, and he listened carefully with his breath held quietly.
Yin Yiliu's eyes were covered with water, she didn't want to answer, but she was tightly wrapped, so she could only lower her eyes slightly to deceive herself that Jin Yang would not eavesdrop, she lowered her voice to the lowest level, and snorted "um".
Xiaoxiao's already excited expression suddenly turned a faint crimson because she was too excited, she couldn't help shaking Yin Yiliu's arm, the huge wings on her back kept shaking, and her voice could not be suppressed.
"Then have you kissed? Is there something like this?! Isn't he very... um... "
Before she finished speaking, Yin Yiliu gritted her teeth and covered her mouth, and the rest of the words were sobbed and blocked in her throat.
Jin Yang, who had been following silently behind him, looked at Tutu who stopped his companions from fleeing in front of him. The golden color in his eyes gradually grew. He lightly raised the corners of his lips, and followed him in a good mood.
After settling in, Li Zhenjiang gave Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang permission to go to the scientific research institute in Z city.
As soon as he stepped into the silver-white building, Yin Yiliu was infected by the tense atmosphere in the scientific research institute, and the scientific researchers in white coats all looked tired in a hurry.
The two sat on the special ladder in the scientific research institute and went up to the largest floor at the top. After entering the one-time password given by Li Zhenjiang, the door with countless mechanical gears in front of them slowly opened.
Li Zhenjiang is standing outside the top-level laboratory. In Yin Yiliu's impression, he has always been wearing a military coat, and has not changed his style, but at this time, the middle-aged man was wearing a scientific research institute robe, dragging silently. Chin looked at the scene in the laboratory.
There was silence all around, only the footsteps of Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang could be heard.
Li Zhenjiang glanced sideways at the two of them, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his complexion was a little scary.
"You are back."
His voice was a little hoarse, but the brows that had been tightly clenched were slightly relaxed because of the arrival of the two.
When Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang left Z City twice, Li Zhenjiang said very seriously that if they were tired of staying outside, they would return to the Z City base, which will always be their home.
So Li Zhenjiang said welcome home.
Yin Yiliu had long regarded this tenacious and gentle elder as someone she respected. Seeing Li Zhenjiang's appearance at this time, she couldn't help frowning slightly, "How long have you been resting."
Li Zhenjiang waved his hand and pressed his sour eyebrows with his fingertips, indicating that he was fine.
He is now one of the few people who know the truth of some things, and the more he knows, the heavier the burden on his heart will be. Anxiety and boredom are like mountains, pressing down on Li Zhenjiang's shoulders, making him unable to breathe. .
He wanted to smile at his long-lost old friends. The funny thing was more bitter than crying. Jin Yang looked at the tip of his brow and said, "If you don't want to laugh, stop laughing, what's going on inside."
The three stood outside the laboratory on the top floor, and there were several fully armed researchers wearing masks and isolation suits in the laboratory. They stood in front of a huge operating table-like cold shop, and on the table lay a huge humanoid creature.
Saying that it was a creature is not entirely true, because at this moment, what lay there and let them dissect has become a corpse.
The corpse of the creature was about five meters long, and several researchers stood beside it as if standing beside a giant. Because the front half was blocked by a layer of flowing corrugated silver-striped windows, Yin Yiliu could not see the whole picture from outside, only A pair of huge black scaly soles can be seen.
The soles of the feet are similar to human feet, but the arches are curved and the fingertips are hard and long. There are also small feather-like brown nails attached to each huge main scale, which is used to connect the hard armors.
This is a seventh-level darker born in the desert with the eruption of the Originium after the rain. It is about to step into the eighth-level barrier. It wanders at the junction of Z city, and there are two small towns in a row. The base was destroyed by it, the whole city was destroyed, and the method was extremely cruel.
It is said that the walls of the two cities collapsed, the streets of the cities were littered with corpses, and the dried and rancid blood was condensed with various mutated insects and beasts, like hell.
Just when the raging darker was about to attack the third city base, human beings were fully prepared.
The central base and the surrounding areas of Z City joined forces, and the head of the mercenary alliance, the three ministers of the B City Military Department, and several seven-level evolutionary powerhouses scattered in the big city jointly launched the strangulation.
The so-called companion darkeners are not monsters created by the fusion of gene fragments in the source stone and humans, occupying and assimilating humans, but the genes of higher species sealed in each source stone, which will be directly reproduced by the source stone. Body shaping, whether in terms of intelligence or physical strength, is much stronger than ordinary mutant creatures.
According to the currently known information, this companion darkening person is at least a super-high species in its parent star, and the strangulation process is extremely difficult.
In order to ensure the maximum freshness of the darkened corpse, several super bases decided to dissect and study it in the nearest scientific research institute in Z City. Several top human academicians have been in the laboratory for a whole day, and Li Zhenjiang also Spent a day outside.
Just as Li Zhenjiang was talking, the light in front of the laboratory suddenly went out. He stopped and walked towards the glass in front of him, and looked inside.
"They'll be out soon."
Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang were not wearing sterile suits, so they could not approach the door of the laboratory. The two stayed in the waiting room at the back of the floor for a few minutes. After they were sure that the experimental body had been sealed, they left again. come out.
At this time, the laboratory of Nuoda that could be seen before seemed to be split from the middle, and half of the space disappeared out of thin air. This is the method invented by the Z City Research Institute for the fastest storage of experimental bodies.
Those who can participate in this experiment are the core characters of the current super bases, which can also be said to be the treasures of human scientific wisdom. Among them, there are many old seniors who have mutated some brain supplements and have extremely mutated control over the accuracy of the experiment, but Eighty percent are physically weak.
The high-intensity experiments for one and a half days in a row overwhelmed their bodies, so several key personnel were divided into two groups for the first and second half.
The person in charge of the second half was City Z's own person, that is, the old disciple of Bai Lao. After the female academician took off her protective clothing, her face was pale and her eyes were slightly swollen.
After she took the hot water prepared by Li Zhenjiang, she didn't have time to chat with Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang, so she said: "We did extract some very strange things from the body of this companion darkened person, this kind of thing is There is nothing that the darkened person after the human xenogeneity does not have - that is to say, this is the material brought by the original star."
The Origin Stone of the Scientific Research Institute called the original home of these alien species the Origin Star. After several negotiations with the Darkener, they already knew that it was a fallen planet.
No matter how glorious and highly developed civilization once existed on the Origin Star, it has now dissipated in the long river of the universe, and only a batch of gene chains have come to Earth.
And it is impossible for human beings to give up their thousands of years of civilization and cultural heritage. This is a war between alien invaders and native residents. ,
If you win, it is a defense battle; if you lose, the human civilization in the history books is just a legendary story.
Academicians of several super bases have been working to find the relationship between Originium and the end of the world, but there has been no substantial development.
The female academician pushed her glasses and said, "We now know that in addition to the gene replicas of foreign organisms, there is also a special catalytic substance from the source star in the source stone. The original intention should be to catalyze these gene chains, But for some reason, after being diluted by three times of heavy fog, it diffused into the world, but the earth's creatures used this material to evolve first."
She paused for a while, and then said: "From this point, we can boldly guess that there is a special magnetic field on the earth. Since it can breed life, it means that it may have its own consciousness. It is this kind of earth consciousness. It hindered the explosion of these foreign genes and catalyzed the substances in the source stone. But for some reason, now the consciousness of the earth has disappeared, and the heavy rain is a sign that it can no longer provide us with shelter, so those gene chains that have been suppressed It exploded completely on earth, and a large number of darkened people appeared..."
Speaking of which, the female academician had a sad and mournful look on her face. Maybe this was just their guess, but more scientific reasoning confirmed that their research was correct.
Earth consciousness does exist, but it is slowly fading, fading away.
This is like the atmosphere covering the earth. Once the atmosphere is gone, the ultraviolet and infrared rays from the universe will cause a global environmental disaster.
And the earth consciousness is gone, and the protective layer that suppresses those alien species is also gone.
Human beings are such soft and weak creatures that they have no strength to fight back in front of these invaders. What a sad thing it is.
"But fortunately, we finally found something new about that big guy."
The woman sighed softly, stretched out her hand to make a gesture with a few people, but slowly put it down.
"We captured the presence of 'strings'."
