After the subsequent rectification and inventory of the eastern base, it was found that the number of survivors in the entire base was less than half of the original number, and the already large super base seemed even more empty.
Materials and resources transported from the central base and Z city were continuously sent to the eastern base for post-war renovations and the restoration and reconstruction of Noah's base.
The soil eroded by the darkened person dries up and solidifies. As soon as you step on it or pinch it and rub a pinch on the belly of your fingers, it will rustle into mud, with no adhesion at all.
Such land will not be able to be planted or grown in the next few years, which will cause very serious damage to the earth's environment and ecology, and this eroded land has been extending from several pieces of land within the eastern base to the outside. The connected jungle area, looking down from above, looks like the entire jungle is bald.
After Duan Ke and his subordinates completed the investigation, he asked the researchers in the base to bring a part of the soil back to study. He looked inside and outside the devastated base and sighed deeply.
Just as they were about to return home, a thudding voice suddenly came from the half-bald jungle, and the garrison behind them suddenly became alert, pulling out the modified gun they carried in their knee bag and staring straight ahead. Shifting grass.
"Are there any remnants of the Darkener?"
"Unlikely, the guys who escaped are now hiding in the deep corners of the jungle, and shouldn't take the initiative to attack humans." The other was also a little hesitant, staring at the gradually increasing haystacks.
Besides, even if there are still surviving darkers who want to take revenge on humans, their whereabouts are still elusive. This can be seen from the carpet search of the garrison in the eastern base, but they still haven't been completely cleared for a few days. And forbearance guy.
The next second, a piece of khaki hoof suddenly emerged from the haystack, and everyone was shocked. Seeing the creature swaying and showing the whole picture from the bushes, they suddenly couldn't help laughing and looked at Duan Ke at the front.
The tall and resolute lord's tense face softened a little, and he squatted down.
That is the mutant deer that was rescued in Noah's base before. After this period of recuperation and growth, it has grown a lot more than a week ago, and has been able to jump and shuttle through the jungle.
It occasionally puts a fresh flower branch at the city gate in the dead of night, or sticks its curious head from behind the tree trunk in the distance when the evolutionary group explores the jungle, and looks at it with a pair of watery deer eyes Wearing these two-legged beasts in various costumes.
Over time, the garrison in the eastern base knew that this little guy was the lord's friend.
From the time when the deer was conscious, the impression of human beings was that it was in the Noah base. It has not experienced the era of confrontation between humans and beasts at the beginning of the apocalypse before the darker broke out, so it does not treat humans like those adult mutant beasts. With a touch of hostility.
On the contrary, it is curious about humans.
The little guy with clear and round eyes did not approach from behind the bushes, it just made a faint deer croak at the group of people, and arched something in the bushes with the thin horns on the top of its head.
After a while, it jumped and spread its hooves and ran into the jungle without a shadow.
Duan Ke stood up, walked to the place where the deer had just stayed, and used the barrel of the long spear to push the haystack away, and suddenly a rotting blood rushed to his face.
There is a dead darker in the grass. The size is not large, but the type is very agile in speed and attack power, about level five to six.
The tear marks on its neck looked like the way an adult mutant beast hunted. The wound was deep and was torn open with fangs, so it should have been captured not long ago.
This is obviously the handwriting of other beasts in the jungle or the doe, and it is placed in the place where the evolutionary team must pass, and the mutant deer is allowed to come out to attract their attention.
Duan Ke couldn't help laughing. He raised his head and glanced at the boundless jungle in the distance. When there was a breeze blowing through the dense canopy, it would make a "squeaking" sound, but other than that, the whole jungle was silent and there was no Traces of mutant beasts.
He asked his subordinates to take a large bag of isolation material, took away the body of the darkened person, and went to the base for researchers to study and cremate it.
If it is allowed to stay in the jungle, the body will degrade and infiltrate into the ground in two to three hours, but now the research of the scientific research institute shows that this degraded substance is also very harmful to the land.
The few guards behind them looked at each other in dismay, and after a while, one of them scratched his head and said, "What's the situation now, are we friendly with those mutant beasts?"
Duan Ke stood up, handed the bag in his hand to the subordinate behind him, and clapped his hands.
A battle that affects the survival of all creatures around the world slowly pulls together two races that have no intersection.
At the same time, there was a jaw-dropping scene in city b.
Since the end of the apocalypse, the central base of city b has been looming hidden dangers, turbulence, and the forces that are difficult to remove even from the upper levels are quickly cleaned up with thunder in this short period of time.
The leader, who always seems to be gentle and indifferent to world affairs, only said one sentence this time: "It's time to clear up some corruption, their hands are too long."
Overnight, the military united with old-fashioned scientific research academicians such as Bai Lai, and some politicians from the government to clean up, which spread far and wide.
This is a silent war, a cleanup within humanity.
After this night, the hidden dangers that were condoned by the radicals in the scientific research institute were completely removed. The people who had secretly installed surveillance in the residence, those who helped Li Jun to steal the experimental subjects without authorization, and those who were closely related to the chain of interests behind them disappeared. , I don't know if he died or was incarcerated in the confinement area.
Chang Lin's body was finally sent to the Scientific Research Institute of B City. Now, most of Li Jun's subordinates have realized that the crazy experiments before are probably not feasible. Now the world has changed, and it is the world of conservatives, so except for a few special ones. Radical, more or more silently continue to carry out research work in the scientific research institute.
After the people from the scientific research institute stripped the new Originium from Chang Lin's body, a strange aura that lingered around Chang Lin gradually disappeared; Lin's corpse is no different from an ordinary darker.
It will automatically degrade if left in the air for two to three hours.
This further proves that the existence of this "string" is the key factor in whether the darker can be removed.
The yellow smoke bomb that Sun Wencheng took to the eastern base and wiped out most of the small darkers during the operation was a product developed by the scientific research institute and was compiled as "Artificial Earth Consciousness No. 1", which is the first-generation unfinished product.
Although it is the first generation, the people in the research institute have been busy preparing for this thing for a year.
They obtained consent before a seriously injured evolutionary man died. When his vital signs were about to fall silent, they used special means to extract the evolutionary substances in his body, which is the deprivation that Li Jun and others have been secretly carrying out in private. A cruel experiment in the evolution of human ability substances.
Using this precious evolutionary substance and the preserved items scavenged from Li Jun's experimental base, the scientific research institute has successfully kept the disappearing earth consciousness on the "string" alive, and there are faint signs of growth.
During those few days, the Earth's consciousness had been suppressing the existence of the "string", but the effect only lasted for a certain period of time, and once it exceeded this period of time, it would slowly dissipate.
But even so, it's exciting enough.
This at least shows that the existence of darkeners is not completely indestructible, and they have a general research direction, although this direction is still very vague.
The more powerful the evolutionary ability, the closer the evolutionary factors in the body are to the Earth consciousness. It can be said that the evolutionary people of the seventh to ninth levels contain a powerful energy, but today's scientific research school is not like Li Jun. Twisted mind.
They know that it is a fantasy to let high-level human powerhouses sacrifice, not to mention that high-level evolutionary people can't agree, even those who are engaged in scientific research can't do it.
They are different from Li Jun. Every scientific researcher who lives in the most central, safe and comfortable area of the city base knows in their hearts that they only need to consider the research matters and can live comfortably without facing the blood and rain. And today's stable life is made by those who evolved with flesh and blood.
They are the heroes of the wasteland era. They were still guarding the base and human beings a moment ago, and they may be brutally torn apart a moment later.
Under such circumstances, what qualifications are there to ask such a group of people to dedicate their lives
There must be some other way they haven't noticed, there must be.
The entire scientific research institute in City B is now in the midst of sleepless research. Many researchers have a pair of big dark circles under their eyes. They opened all the experimental subjects and finally made a breakthrough discovery on this day.
The one undergoing the experiment in the glass cover is a mutant mouse, similar to the mice in the pre-apocalyptic laboratory, all artificially bred by the scientific research institute.
These arm-sized mice are not very capable of evolution. They are all first- and second-level, so the evolutionary energy in their bodies is very small. Basically, they will die after being extracted.
The scientific research institute has no other way but to explore little by little. Every time they change a tiny bit of data deviation to try out new extraction methods, they have failed thousands of times. To the anxiety and depression, until now Gujing has no waves.
The female researcher in charge of the recording looked indifferent. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time because of her research, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. She was quietly waiting for the extraction experiment to fail.
She had to witness this kind of failure several times a day, and her heart was already numb.
Although everyone was full of confidence and fighting spirit at the beginning, they felt that there must be a way to extract the evolutionary energy without harming the name of the creature, but the experiment has been carried out until now, and they themselves do not believe it.
Fail, fail, fail.
Endless failures, and the death of one subject after another seems to indicate that their ideas are impossible, and this two-way approach is doomed to fail.
Some collapsed, others numb.
The guarded researcher has almost mastered the time for one experiment. She looked at the watch and estimated that it was almost over, so she began to slowly wash her hands, only waiting for the experiment to fail and dispose of the body of the subject.
The expected ringing bell did not come, the woman was stunned for a moment, and decided to wait a little longer.
But after waiting for a long time, the bell indicating the end of the experiment failed still didn't sound, her heart skipped a beat, and she had an idea, but she was suppressed by herself as soon as it emerged.
Impossible, there must be something wrong, or there is something wrong with the experimental body this time.
Involuntarily, she walked quickly to the recording instrument connected to the experimental cover, and saw the data on it. The next second, the woman's tired and swollen eyes could not help but widen, her expression a little dull.
The small storage tube representing the evolutionary energy showed that the substance had been successfully extracted at this time, but the column of the vital signs of the mutant mice that recorded the experiment was also beating, which indicated that the experimental subject was not dead this time.
The woman's hands trembled a little. She hurriedly reached for the button on the experimental cover and put the visor up. Her heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of her chest.
Until the visor was completely raised, she finally saw the mutant white rat in the hood.
The little guy had a thin, needle-like tube attached to his body. He should have been lying on his back and his limbs were stiff, but the mouse was still crawling slowly.
Although it is not as good as the mental state when it was put in, it looks a little sluggish, but it is indeed moving, breathing, and has vital signs.
The next moment, the woman picked up the communicator, almost unable to control her volume, and reported the news to everyone in the research institute with tears of joy.
"The experiment was successful! The experimental subject is still alive!!"
On February 18th, 5th year in the wasteland, the evolutionary energy experiment was successfully extracted, and the artificial earth awareness project was once again mentioned as the most advanced experimental project.
In the Z city base, Bai Lao came here personally because of this.
Since the first experimental body successfully extracted evolutionary substances, they have been full of hope and enthusiasm for this experimental activity, and several successful cases have shown that this experiment is feasible.
There is no need to deprive the evolutionary people of their life and evolutionary abilities like Li Jun. They found a new method. The experimental subjects whose evolutionary energy was extracted felt dizzy and weak for a short time, and gradually returned to normal after a few days. The data indicators are the same as before the experiment.
With the success of this experiment, the scientific research institute has also begun to open up the number of experimenters. All evolutionary people who provide their own evolutionary energy will be compensated with rich points and materials, and the higher the level, the better.
The successful extraction of evolutionary energy also means that the follow-up series of artificial earth consciousness experiments can continue to be carried out.
But it's not enough to destroy all the Darkeners with this.
In the end, whether it is other people in the scientific research institute or Bai Lao himself has an idea, if it is the evolutionary energy of ninth-level evolutionary people, can it be infinitely close to the consciousness of the earth
Once this kind of idea comes out, it will be entrenched in the minds of these researchers, but they dare not.
They all know that the reason why this man has advanced to the ninth level is because Li Jun once used his evolutionary energy idea to directly deal with Jin Yang with the fusion substance used to deal with the darker, causing him to almost become the darker.
It is estimated that Jin Yang has already hated the people in these scientific research institutes. When several old academicians thought of this, they scolded Li Jun, who was already dead, in their hearts.
In the end, after thinking about it, Bai Lao decided to go to the Z city base in person to lobby Jin Yang.
He had already thought about the rhetoric and persuasion, but he didn't want to open his mouth in embarrassment just now.
He thought that according to Jin Yang's temperament, he would not give himself a good face. Even if he agreed, it would take several days. He even thought about pulling down his old face and begging Yin Yiliu to ask her to help and persuade him.
"You, you agree?" Bai Lao was a little stunned.
Jin Yang: "Didn't you say it won't hurt your body?"
Bai Lao hurriedly replied: "No, no, it may be a little tired and uncomfortable at first, and the ability to evolve will be weakened for about three days. This is because the energy in the body is drained and it will not adapt to it, and it will recover completely in a week at most..."
Jin Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, "If that's the case, there's nothing I can't agree with."
Bai Lao was silent for a while, and finally sighed with emotion. He later mentioned this to Li Zhenjiang and said, "Jin Yang is a good boy, but we old guys have narrowed our minds."
After the matter is finalized, Yin Yiliu and Jin Yang will go to the Scientific Research Institute of City B to participate in this experiment in two days.
In the evening, Yin Yiliu packed up the things they were going to take away in the living room. She didn't bring much clothes and food, so she threw them into the space. She habitually brought two books to Jin Yang, although she didn't need them most of the time. , but this has become her habit.
She rubbed her fingers against the long sword beside her, and felt a little sigh in her heart. Chitu had been with her for several years, and now it was just like her fingers and arms. The long sword could be pulled out and danced at will when the battle center moved.
And from the current form, maybe in two years, or even a few months or ten days, this years-long apocalypse will end.
The war between Earth creatures and Darkeners has come to an end.
These days, there have been reports of darker attacks from various bases, but the scale is far less than the one in the eastern base, and the human powerhouses have been alerted in advance, so there is no danger.
Rather than a war, it is better to say that those foreign invaders are gradually testing the human defense line for the final attack.
She was surrounded by a pair of warm and strong arms behind her, and a warm breath suddenly fell on her neck. She turned her head slightly and saw Jin Yang's calm and handsome profile, as if she suddenly thought of something. Curious:
"Actually, I thought you would disagree."
Yin Yiliu knew in his heart that Jin Yang was not a good personality, and he had a bad impression of the scientific research institute, so this time he responded without hesitation, which was a little surprising.
Jin Yang didn't speak, his eyes darkened.
He was also a little surprised. When Bai said his intentions, he knew that although he hated the scientific research institute, he did not reject this experiment because of it.
I don't know since when, his mentality has gradually changed.
Maybe it was a fight along the way, maybe it was in Rongcheng, or maybe it was earlier, when the Xuyang team was dying.
He not only learned to care about and love someone deeply, but also learned more things.
What he learned, he couldn't tell.
But Yin Yiliu turned around and wrapped around the man's neck, and gently kissed Jin Yang's warm lips under the dim light.
She knew that the heart of Jin Thigh was no longer a piece of ice, and the seeds planted in the cracks along the way had already begun to break through the ice after so long.
