Chapter 72: Time Passed By
It was a Star Xuan Turtle, its size was much larger than the juvenile turtle that Lin Lin had seen before, as it approached, it was more like a mountain, but it swam so slowly, as if it was no longer able to support its huge body, the single horn on its head was only half, the original smooth and beautiful neck was terrifyingly mottled, and the black carapace had long been dim. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info it swam and whimpered intermittently as if crying, which made Lin Lin's heart very sour and sad.
Finally, the huge Star Turtle slowly crawled to the shore, stopped beside Lin Lin, slowly and seriously dug out a pit, twisted its long neck and took an egg from its back and put it inside.
The eggshell was already gray and mottled, and even smelled of strong rancidity, but the Star Tortoise carefully took it into the pit, and then covered it with sand little by little, and then dug a pit and buried it with eggs, one after another.
Lin Lin couldn't see how many giant eggs it was carrying, but he could see that it was seriously and slowly burying those eggs into the sand, as if waiting for them to break out of their shells one day.
But apparently, it knew that there was no more day, and when it buried the seven giant eggs in the ground, it finally stopped. Then, large tears fell on the shore of the barren grass and dripped on the land where the giant egg was buried.
At this moment, the intense sadness and incomprehension were directly conveyed from it to the bottom of Lin Lin's heart. It didn't even understand what was going on, why its home had changed, why humans weren't kind and amiable, why its own kind had died one by one, and why their offspring had died in eggshells without even a chance to hatch.
It doesn't even know what to do except cry, it just wants to go back to the happy memories of thousands of years ago. It groaned and left the shore and returned to the water, turning back and crying as it swam off into the distance.
Until it was about to disappear from view, a group of people suddenly appeared behind Lin Lin.
"See?" said one of them, "a living Star Tortoise." ”
"Big brother, let's go catch it. The other said, "Even if the Heavenly Fruit is no longer edible, the dying Star Xuan Turtle is worth a lot." The horns and carapace of the Star Turtle on the black market are quite good. ”
"Look again. Another person said, "Those who are still alive may have mutated and followed." ”
The light suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding scene also changed, Lin Lin looked around, it was like an underground cave, there were people in front of her and on the left and right, passing through her body from time to time, running in one direction, their faces were blurred, but their voices were clear.
"Did you catch it?" shouted one of them.
"Got it, got it!" the other group responded excitedly.
"I didn't expect the water-friendly Star Turtle to hide under the ground of the high-intensity radiation area, no wonder I couldn't find it for so long!"
"But it's bigger than a starship, how can you move it out?" someone asked.
"You don't need to move it, just keep it underground, anyway, we just need its Heavenly Fruit!
"Yes, now it's not called the Heavenly Fruit, it's called the Ability Fruit. Someone excitedly shouted, "How much does it have on its back?"
"At least two hundred!" roared the man in the distance.
There was a cheer from the people around them.
The scene changed again, and as time passed, Lin Lin felt that the scene had become trivial and messy, and some of them had disappeared before she could see them clearly, but the pain was clearly conveyed to her.
It was clearly an office, dim and blurry, and there were two people in front of her, whose faces were completely unread, only the outlines.
"What, hunger strike?" one of them stood up suddenly.
"Yes. Another replied apprehensively, "The Fruit has not produced in recent years, and it hasn't eaten or drunk for at least two years...... He didn't fall asleep, so it was speculated that he might be on a hunger strike. The carapace has also rotted very quickly recently, and that kind of vine only parasitizes on the back of the Star Turtle, and if the Star Turtle really starves to death, there will be no Ability Fruit. ”
The man spoke quickly, and it was clear that the matter was serious.
The man who seemed to be the leader was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips, and in the blurred image, this smile that seemed extremely sinister was unexpectedly clear: "Then show it 'that'." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Only an adult Star Turtle can grow a miracle fruit, and it will also have a wisdom close to that of a human to take that and threaten it. ”
"But that is the egg of the only living Star Turtle, you didn't want to ...... it in the first place"
"God knows if that thing can hatch now, let that one live first!"
"Yes. ”
The scene has changed again, it is still the same office, but the people have changed.
"The boss is dead anyway. One of them said to the other, "Those people are also dead, think about it, who else but us knows that there is a living Star Tortoise? As long as we say that the Star Tortoise is extinct, these ability fruits are what we planted out of the carapace of the Star Tortoise?"
It's such a mess now, no one will know what we're doing. Besides, we can only gain a little bit in a few decades now, and as long as we hide it well, no one will know. ”
The other was a little hesitant: "The Carmera family ......"
"They don't care about this benefit, we don't say that no one will come to investigate. ”
In the next second, all that was left in the room was mottled blood stains and a corpse, and another person rushed out of the room and never returned.
Time seemed to speed up, the dust got thicker and thicker, and the corpse decomposed, turned into a skeleton, and disappeared as if it were only a matter of moments. Another group rushed in. They rummaged around in full armor and Union uniforms, and it seemed that they had finally found something and left.
Soon, the center of this room suddenly opened up, and the noise of machines and human voices was endless, and people in federal uniforms and white lab coats shuttled through this underground building that had taken shape like a beehive.
"How's your experiment going?"
Lin Lin turned his head to look over, it was a man and a woman, they were walking and chatting not far from him.
"There is already a finished product, although it seems that there is nothing wrong with the data, but I always feel that something is wrong. The woman in the lab coat said.
"Anyway, the whole planet of Gamera is a test subject, so there's no need to worry. The man comforted.
"That's right. The woman smiled, "And aren't we helping them too......?" And it can also improve ...... Fusion capabilities. Her voice was very small, and Lin Lin didn't hear many words clearly.
"Really?" the man looked shocked, and then smiled and put his arms around the woman's waist and said, "Thank you for telling me, maybe there will be a breakthrough in my experiment, and you will take credit for it when the time comes." ”
The woman smiled and snuggled him away, but Lin Lin felt that the man's gaze made her feel chills all over her body, and she realized that history always repeats itself.
Sure enough, the woman is gone, and the man shows a worm man in front of the others.
"This is the most successful work. ”
This is the only clear face in the whole scene. It is also the most terrifying insect man's face, his face is very hideous, his compound eyes are bulging, he roars to reveal a mouth full of fangs, there are serious scars left on his face, his hands have turned into black claws, and behind his back are two pairs of fluffy insect wings, which look very terrifying.
Obviously it wasn't the insect man she had seen, but Lin Lin felt a little familiar, and before she could remember, she was suddenly interrupted by a man's voice.
"It's the most successful work, and out of hundreds of zergs, he's the only one who can control the zerg!"
