What is the so-called "string"
As Yin Yiliu, who was just an ordinary female college student in the liberal arts before the time-travel, she had a half-understood professional vocabulary that was too profound and rose to space and dimension, but what surprised her was that Jin Not only could Yang understand it, but when the female academician was constructing the blueprint, she would even jump out a few words unexpectedly.
The academician's tired face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he didn't seem to expect that the legendary evil spirit in front of him would understand this.
She suddenly became interested, and carefully took off the special material glove on her hand, which was stained with the darker's body fluid, which needed to be specially destroyed, and then she threw a few questions.
Since many of the body fluids and blood of the darkened are toxic and even highly corrosive, ordinary medical gloves cannot be isolated at all. For this reason, the scientific research institute specially designed this kind of gloves with good isolation.
But it also has the disadvantage of being airtight.
They often can't take it off all day long, just like this middle-aged woman in front of her. Except for the scars from various experimental researches on her hands, she is now covered in sweat by her own hands. Soft finger pulps are all wrinkled skin, and it hurts when touched.
Such a woman is also worthy of admiration. Although she cannot carry it on her shoulders, and may not even be able to kill a mutant beast of the lowest level, she has used her own hands to carry the hope of the entire human civilization.
Yin Yi Liu Zhi leaned on his cheeks and silently looked at Jin Yang beside him. He seemed to be a little troubled by what he was talking about. When his mood was calm, the golden halo pupils were faint, like colored glass. very nice.
If it was the previous one, she would definitely sigh with emotion. Sure enough, the golden thigh is amazing, and it is outrageous to be excellent in every aspect.
But now, in the faint pride, there is also a sudden distress.
Jin Yang is also a man of flesh and blood. Although his life was written with a single pen, and the plot can be irresponsible, the loneliness and suffering of the past two decades have really aggravated him. A single knife slashed into his flesh, pressing him into deep water.
Yin Yiliu knew how dark Jin Yang's past was. She couldn't imagine how hard it would be to grow into such an excellent and introverted person in such an environment. It looked so bright.
If it were her, she might have given up on herself early.
After the two finished speaking, the female academician's expression had turned satisfied, "You have given me a new direction for thinking, if I can really find a new path, not only me, but the entire scientific research community will thank you. ."
Jin Yang just waved his hand and didn't seem to like this kind of compliment, but Yin Yiliu knew that it wasn't that he didn't like it, he just wasn't used to it.
He still needs some time to feel the rewards of his kindness.
Yin Yi Liu Zui smiled and squinted behind Jin Yang, and whispered: "You are really amazing, what else is there that you can't, I'm afraid there is no more!"
Since the relationship between the two has broken down, she has become more courageous in front of Jin Yang. Although Jin Yang looks mature and stable and often has a cold face, she knows that golden thighs are really easy to be shy and indifferent. It's just Jin Yang's mask.
With this knowledge, she took it as her greatest pleasure to tease Jin Yang to see that he was actually being shy.
Just like now, after hearing her exaggerated praise for Rainbow Fart, Jin Yang's ears moved slightly, and the tips of her ears gradually turned a little crimson.
His eyes were a little soft, but he just watched Yin Yiliu raise his eyebrows silently, and accepted these exaggerated words of praise.
And then, Yin Yiliu finally saw the latest discovery from the female academician's mouth.
The more you go inside, there are many checkpoints every few steps. It is very troublesome to verify the fingerprint, iris, special password and identity information.
This is the highest level of the scientific research institute, which seals the most important things to human beings. In addition to various precious samples, there are also some experimental data that have been stagnant or are still in progress.
Once it spreads, the consequences are unimaginable.
Therefore, Li Zhenjiang specially rebuilt this place, also because Jin Yang and Yin Yi Liu Qiang broke into the scientific research institute of B city to release the experimental body, which made him pay more attention. If there is a second 'Jin Yang', it is bound to be block it.
Yin Yiliu didn't know that there was such a relationship. Under the leadership of Li Zhenjiang, she and Jin Yang came to a hidden space behind the wall. There was an elevator here. From the elevator down, the surrounding environment getting bleak.
Yin Yiliu calculated the time of their whereabouts in her heart, realizing that the depth they were in should be underground, and they were falling all the time.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and the four walked out of the elevator. Li Zhenjiang and the female academician obviously knew of the existence of this place, while Yin Yiliu was amazed.
The place where they are located is a huge space under the base, which is like an underground palace. According to Li Zhenjiang, this place used to be a subway. Later, it was rebuilt and strengthened after being deserted, and it became a hidden storage space.
The surrounding facilities are minimalist in style, and it looks like it has transitioned from the wasteland era to high-tech urban buildings. The walls are painted with silver-white special metal, and there are towering shelves placed in rows. At least seven or eight meters long, piled up with various books and literature.
Each huge bookshelf was engraved with a special logo, and at the same time marked the type of storage. On the wooden frame of the frontmost bookshelf, she saw the words "Noah No. 3".
There are dozens of standing biological specimens placed near the wall in this space. Most of them are humanoids with strange shapes and ugly appearances. These are the darkers captured by the Z city base in recent years. They use special medicines. Store here after soaking.
And the seventh-level darker that was captured with all the power of human beings was well sealed in one of the containers at this time and placed in a conspicuous position.
Yin Yiliu finally saw the whole picture clearly.
The limbs and body structure of this creature are somewhat similar to those of humans, but the proportions are not similar.
It is very tall, at five meters above the eye, the upper body is short and strong, and the lower body looks like a human leg but is too long, and it should be very uncoordinated when running. It is covered with huge scales and tiny fluffy scales all over its body, even its face and bulging mouth. There are obvious linear sutures from the abdomen to the heart. It is the few academicians who have just completed the experiment. Sewn on the back.
There is still room in the deeper place, but there is no lighting there, and the darkness extends all the way in, as if there is no end.
The temperature in the underground space is a bit low, artificially controlled at three to five degrees. Fortunately, evolutionary people have a set of physiology to resist and adjust, so apart from feeling a gust of cold wind when they first stepped in, Yin Yiliu died after a few minutes. adapted to the temperature here.
Her attention was placed in the center of Nuoda's underground city, where a transparent container was placed. From Yin Yiliu's point of view, nothing could be seen or nothing. But all kinds of instruments and temperature-regulating vessels were opened around the huge container, and it was obvious that there was something inside.
At this time, Li Zhenjiang slowly opened his mouth and said: "There is actually a reason for you to come here. Among the human survivors distributed throughout the continent, there are only less than ten known powerhouses above the seventh level. Knowing the existence here, you are no exception."
He pointed to the huge bookshelf engraved with "Noah No. 3" and said: "You must have seen it, here is Noah No. 3. There are currently five secret bases like this on the mainland, all of which are composed of super bases. .Z city is number three, city b is number one."
From Li Zhenjiang and the academician beside him, Yin Yiliu came into contact with the core of human life and death.
In fact, as early as two years ago, when the first darkened person appeared on the mainland, it attracted the attention of the high-level human beings. They thought far more than ordinary people struggling on the line of life and death. The reason why the end of the world has been so long, and although the prestige of the military and government has been greatly weakened and is almost invisible, it still exists firmly and plays a decisive role at a critical moment.
Because humans need leaders, they seem to get more, but they also have to take on more.
After a short period of research, the researchers extracted a strange substance from the body of the darkened person. This substance is invisible in the body of ordinary aliens, but in the fusion and coexistence of incompletely degenerate humans and mutant creatures. In the body of the compatriots, it still exists, but the number is very small.
So the researchers boldly guessed that this is a substance only found in the body of the darkened person.
Just like the Earth consciousness they speculated, it is something elusive that cannot be grasped. The two restrain each other, and the Earth consciousness has always restrained this substance from running rampant among humans and mutant creatures.
They wanted to extract and concretize it to facilitate research, but two years later, they still have no clue, and this illusion and experiment have been kept in dust.
At the same time, starting from the central base, we set out to build the last defense line of human civilization, called "Noah".
In the "Bible", according to God's instructions, Noah built a huge ship for 120 years, brought every species in the world to the ship, and successfully avoided a world-destroying disaster. flood.
However, in the era of wasteland where the environment is getting worse and species are mutating, there is no God who will guide human construction, so the upper layers can only plan for the worst and store the treasures of human civilization in advance. Once any irreversible accident occurs, these incomparably sturdy The underground base is the last resort of mankind.
Various literature books, as well as some national treasure-level inventions and antiquities are stored here, and they have been sleeping quietly for the past two years until the underground lighting was turned on not long ago.
In addition to China, such shelters are being built one after another around the world.
And after that heavy rain, the Earth's consciousness rapidly weakened at an extremely fast speed, and this substance also exploded rapidly, and the Darkeners ravaged.
Just when everything was out of control, they finally extracted the embodied existence of this kind of thing in the body of the accompanying darkened person.
At this time, everyone stood in front of the huge transparent vessel. Yin Yiliu recognized it again and again, but she still couldn't see anything. She was a little suspicious and asked, "Is there something in it?"
Li Zhenjiang said: "Don't worry, this thing is invisible to the naked eye, you need to open several layers of optical drives."
As he spoke, he turned on all the surrounding instruments, and layers of visible light and invisible light enveloped the entire vessel. Yin Yiliu watched as a faint light circle gradually appeared in the vessel in front of her, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She couldn't tell what shape the thing was, nor its color, but this erratic, seemingly solid thing that was actually flowing was existence, not her hallucination.
"This is the string, which can only be extracted from the body of the accompanying darker with Originium embedded in the body. The sun's light is refracted on the glass and will be layered, and this kind of string must be reflected in a specific light zone layer to be used. The naked eye catches it, otherwise it is no different from the air."
Yin Yiliu listened to the explanation around her, but still felt that it was very mysterious. She fixedly looked at the 'string' floating in the huge vessel in front of her, and had a very absurd idea in her heart.
This thing is alive, it may not be accurate to say that it is alive, but Yin Yiliu can indeed feel the existence of the 'string' and its faint fluctuations.
She didn't know if it was her own illusion, or if other people could also feel it, or if she was the only one who could feel it, she didn't make a sound, just looked at it carefully.
The composition of the 'string' can be seen as a kind of extremely fine particles, which are agglomerated and bonded together to form a soft arc of a ribbon, which can float slowly in a windless vessel, from this side to the there.
In the process of its upward rise, Yin Yiliu's sharp eyes suddenly found a strange existence in the ribbon-shaped floating object, as if something was clinging to it.
"Hey, is there something on this..." She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she was at a loss for words, but what was surprising was that the female academician who was watching silently on the side glanced at Yin Yiliu in astonishment. , the sound is slightly shifted.
"you can see?!"
"Either I can see it, or I have a feeling..." Yin Yiliu scratched her head, realizing that she might have discovered something extraordinary.
The academician took a deep look at Yin Yiliu, and then at Jin Yang, she never thought that these two young people were more surprising than the other.
She controls the change of the optical drive, and the color of the light in the vessel changes visibly to the naked eye, and after the light changes, the 'string' suspended in the vessel also becomes much more transparent, like a soft-bodied worm that is about to dissipate.
In this transparency, Yin Yiliu saw that there was a small area on the 'string' that had a heavier color, as if it was a diseased condition, and she asked blankly, "What is this?"
Li Zhenjiang's face was dark, his brows furrowed tightly and he said in a deep voice: "Earth consciousness."
This is the earth consciousness that counteracts the 'string' in front of us, but it is a pity that it is slowly disappearing, or it is being swallowed by the ribbon-shaped 'string'.
"It was bigger when I looked at it before. At most three days, the consciousness of the earth will be completely swallowed."
Yin Yiliu didn't know what she felt in her heart. At this moment, she seemed to be able to feel the heavy helplessness in the hearts of Li Zhenjiang and the female academician. A battle for survival between the origin of the planet was silently in front of her eyes. The performance, although there was no blood and rain, even a little ridiculous and casual, but she couldn't laugh.
Her throat was a little sore, "What if it was swallowed?"
In fact, she also knows that the darkened person who has not yet been fully realized is already a disaster-level existence. Once it is fully realized, it will only become more difficult.
But why does Earth consciousness disappear
No one can answer this question, Li Zhenjiang doesn't know, and scientific research institutes around the world have devoted their efforts to research for four years, but one day, it suddenly disappeared as if it never existed.
'Noah' is already in operation, and although they have finally made a major discovery, they are at a loss for what to do.
Li Zhenjiang patted Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang on the shoulders, with a smile on their pale and puffy faces, this time it was sincere.
He joked: "Every time one more person knows about it, it is equivalent to one more person bearing it. I feel more at ease. Don't look so bitter and hateful. Humanity will not be destroyed for a while."
At least they're still moving slowly, aren't they.
Yin Yiliu was dumbfounded by Li Zhenjiang's old child's jokes, but she knew that Li Zhenjiang was comforting them in disguise.
Jin Yang is actually not interested in the imminent destruction of these human civilizations, but when he thinks about it again, once those foreign ugly things take over the earth and assimilate all living things, then his bunny will no longer exist, and suddenly he feels These foreign things are really annoying.
Wu Weirong is like this, and so are these so-called darkeners.
His eyes were deep, and he silently held his fists and listened to Li Zhenjiang's conversation with Tutu beside him.
When she stepped out of the research institute and stepped on the ground again, Yin Yiliu felt that the sunlight above her head was a little dazzling, she couldn't help squinting, and the next second, a forearm blocked her head. She looked up and saw that Jin Yang was standing beside her, her palms spread out and her fingertips wrapped in an arc to shield her from the dazzling sunlight.
From the light leaking from Jin Yang's fingers, she could see a bright light, and she couldn't help feeling that it was better under the sun.
Li Zhenjiang said that the 'Noah' base has stored enough materials and energy for human beings to maintain normal work and rest for at least hundreds of years, and there have been special people constantly looking for storage.
No matter how bad it is, retreating to the ground can last for a while.
But after only half a day, Yin Yiliu felt a little suffocated, how painful it would be to live underground for a hundred years without seeing the light of day.
From the moment they open their eyes, the newborn children see the sealed top floor, which is no more than ten meters high. They will never know that the human beings once lived in the endless land of the sky, with birds and blue sky and white clouds.
And the deceased will also be buried deep in the ground, there is no distinction between their hometown and homeland.
Yin Yiliu can already imagine that people in the future will fantasize when they look at the complicated urban civilization and the shining night sky in the literature, but they will never see it in their entire life.
Just thinking about it made her feel unbearable.
The people who come and go in the base city do not know that there is a huge base space underground at this time. They may still be complaining about the worsening environment, crying about the hardships of the world, or trying to live with hope.
Regardless of their state of mind, they are full of vitality, and there is still light in their eyes.
At this time, a group of evolutionary people were climbing up above the city gate, and countless steel bars and wood were being transported up.
The city wall of the Z city base was attacked once by the darkened people when the darkened people erupted in large numbers, but it did not break open. It just smashed the outer layer of protective iron fence, and now it needs to be reinforced.
Yin Yiliu looked at them shouting loudly and working hard to defend the base, and the haze in his heart also dissipated a lot.
Suddenly, at the crossroads of the tavern next to the base street, she saw a figure leaning against the wall, hidden by the dark shadow on the wall, like a drunken alcoholic.
She glanced a little more curiously, and finally saw the scene at the entrance of the alley, her body suddenly froze.
What kind of alcoholic is that, but a man holding a wall. The reason why he thinks his posture is strange is because there is a woman under him. In the world, you don't care about the eyes of people who come and go.
Once she knew what she was doing, the voice in Yin Yiliu's ear became real. After she mutated, her ear strength was good. The more she wanted to ignore it at this time, the clearer the voice was, and it reached her through the bustling voices. ear.
She was embarrassed and a little ashamed. Although it wasn't that she wanted to peek or eavesdrop on her subjective consciousness, she still felt embarrassed, and secretly slapped her tongue at the boldness of the young lovers.
In fact, in the era of wasteland, the concept of young men and women has become more and more open. Nowadays, the fertility rate is low, and it is also accompanied by the danger of dying at some point, and fewer and fewer people are getting married.
Even in love, they are not as delicate as they were in peaceful times. They are busy hunting mutant creatures, and they have the task of licking blood on swords every day.
But this kind of hot kiss without anyone on the street is still very rare.
Suddenly, the somewhat small woman who was blocked suddenly grabbed the collar of the man in front of her and pushed it away, revealing half of her delicate face in the junction of light and shadow.
The woman is very keen and her eyesight is also very sharp. Even though Yin Yiliu's gaze was only for a moment, she was still caught by her. At this time, her eyes narrowed slightly through the crowd, staring at Yin Yiliu lazily.
She was still holding the collar of the man in front of her. She was short but had a strong aura. She squinted and smiled at Yin Yiliu from a distance. She didn't feel shy at all, but made Yin Yiliu even more embarrassed.
At this moment, Jin Yang, who was beside him, suddenly stopped her shoulders very strongly, and turned her face in his direction, looking a little unpleasant.
"Don't look at it."
In his heart, his own Tutu will always be the cute little guy who needs to be held in his hand. The secret possessiveness in his heart is strong, not to mention this kind of scene.
After thinking about it, he silently pressed Tutu's head into his arms again.
