Chapter 19: The Giant Beetle
Walking out of the bank branch, Han You went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought a few books on geography and mythology.
As I thought before, famous mountains and monuments must be searched, and life history must also be found.
After the new year, he started school, and he just entered his freshman year, so he naturally couldn't fall behind in his studies.
Life is suddenly so funny, at least you have to prepare for both, don't you?
Han You, who walked out of the bookstore, glanced at the mobile phone mall across the street.
At this moment, the pedestrians on both sides of the street suddenly became alarmed, and began to flee in all directions, as if they had seen something terrible that had never been seen before.
Han You, who didn't know the truth, subconsciously participated in the action and followed the old man who ran fast: "Uncle, what's going on?"
The old man said as he ran, "I don't know!"
Han You was very surprised: "Then why are you running?"
The old man said angrily: "What about you?"
Han You froze in place.
At this moment, the radio over the city suddenly sounded: "Warning, warning, there is an unknown biological invasion in the west of the city, and a state of emergency is about to be entered." ”
"Warning, this is not a drill, please cooperate with the relevant departments and evacuate as soon as possible. ”
"Again, warned, this is not a drill ..."
In the afternoon of that day, the human air defense alarm was sounded because of an unknown creature.
Located in the west of Tanglin City, a huge beetle came out of nowhere and lay across the streets, sometimes staying and sometimes walking, and the places it passed were full of holes.
A beetle the size of a house, with a hard shell like steel and iron, and ordinary weapons are obviously like tickling for it, and it doesn't work at all.
The airborne army had no choice, and the only thing they could do was to concentrate their firepower to block the giant beetle's footsteps and protect the people behind them from retreating.
By the time all the residents had evacuated, it was late in the evening, and a bomb had finally landed on the plane.
With a loud "boom", the west of the city burst into flames, and after the thick smoke passed, only the fragmented beetles and the collapsed houses around them remained.
Han You, who had already gone home, was lying on the sofa at the moment and saw all the pictures through live TV.
In fact, he is not so panicked anymore, the world may really change, and he has to learn to accept it, right?
If it is really like what the second elder said, the earth wakes up and the human race mutates.
Isn't this a good thing for yourself who wants to be stronger?
Han You changed the channel, and the host of the show was connecting with an expert.
"Professor Sima, I remember you said two days ago that it takes a while for beetle mutations to occur, so why did one appear in Tanglin City earlier?"
"Well, it's true that we were negligent, and yesterday we discovered that in addition to the increase in oxygen, there is also an inexplicable substance on the earth, which is making up for the genetic defects of all living organisms, so we suspect that it is this substance that advances the entire evolutionary process. ”
"Professor Sima, if there are a large number of beetle mutations in a short period of time, how will we deal with them?"
"Actually, there is no need to worry about this, according to our research, human genes are also changing, which has exceeded our previous predictions, and it is estimated that the most ordinary human beings will be able to travel thousands of miles a day. ”
"Professor Sima, you mean that in the next new era, human beings can protect themselves, right?"
"I don't think there's a problem, everything is competing, we've never lost. ”
Han You was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, no longer paying attention to the conversation on the TV.
The earth wakes up, and everything changes.
For him Han You personally, it may be a good thing.
Relying on the power of nature to produce a sudden is more reliable than climbing mountains and wading through waters, relying on your own luck to meet the gods and apprentice to learn art, right?
However, for the big era, it is difficult to determine whether it will be good or bad in the end.
Imagine if every species began to mutate, the original food chain would be completely broken.
When the time comes, it's really hard to say who will be the swordsman and who will be the fish.
The beetle in the west of the city today is obviously much inferior in strength and size compared to the octopus in the Eight Formations Village.
and the girl with the humanoid sword body that I met in front of Tianya Mountain Villa, which is obviously beyond the scope of lifeform evolution.
The only ones who can match them are those in the Eight Formations Village and Kunlun.
But that's all the cultivation that has been hoarded over a long period of time.
How can you evolve to that height just by relying on your own luck in a short period of time?
Compared with beasts and insects, the physique of human beings is too different.
Take the ant as an example, it can carry things several times larger than its body, and the strength of a tiger's palm is about a ton.
If human beings do not have wisdom, what can they do with their own strength and physique?
In fact, all things coexist, and it has never been humans who have won.
But there is a master in the dark who is dominating all this, just like the previous red snow, behind which is controlled by a group of people who can fly away and become invisible.
So who would dare to say that this is just a coincidence in the history of evolution?
Han You got up and went to the balcony and looked outside, except for the west of the city, the rest of the place was still flashing with neon.
At this moment, the young man standing alone on the balcony, looking at the lights in the distance, suddenly had an inexplicable sense of crisis.
If you meet the white-haired young man outside the city again in the future, and meet the purple-robed boy of Kunlun again, how will you deal with it?
There seems to be no other way but to get stronger.
But how the hell can I get stronger?
Han You filled in a piece of clothing and came to the rooftop of the building.
The cold wind in the night was even colder, and a little unmelted red snow piled up next to the daughter's wall.
Han You grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, but he didn't know if this would produce a mutation?
I remember that the Second Elder had said that this was a medicine they had refined, a medicine that had the potential to wake the earth up.
It turns out that the earth is really awake now, otherwise where would such a big beetle come from?
Han You swallowed the melted snow water, thinking that a potion that has an effect on the earth shouldn't be too bad for the human body, right?
