On Earth, scientists generally have a higher status than engineers. And the status of theoretical scientists is higher than that of those practitioners. At the pinnacle of all science are two kinds of people: mathematicians and theoretical physicists, or fundamental physicists.

The modern civilization of the entire earth can be said to be based on these two.

In modern times, the speed of human development on earth is unprecedented. One of the key factors in the development of technology, the sum of the 100 years of the modern era, and the sum of thousands of years before the top, is the guidance of theory. This is the guiding light for the direction of scientific development.

When it comes to scientists, the first thing that comes to mind is Einstein, Newton, and the like. They didn't actually invent much of the specifics, far from Edison and the like. But what they did was far more important than inventing something, and they pointed out a direction of development.

But...... Theory points the way, but it is far from creating something in reality.

In reality, it's too late.

An indescribable creature was crawling on the ground.

It was not a normal creature, and its overall body was like a mouse, of course, because of its short legs and large belly, and its four-legged movements. But a mouse doesn't grow to the size of a pig. Not to mention that a large part of its body does not have long hair, but grows like a purulent wound. In this part, green mucus is slowly secreted. The slime flowed down its limbs, leaving a green trail on the ground.

In other parts of its body, there are contradictory parts. Some are covered in scales, others are spikes, and some look like bare skin—the whole mess resembles a patchwork of monsters that makes an earthling instinctively think of the word "genetic mutation" at first glance.

Of course, this is indeed the case.

Lu Wu was surprised to find that he actually saw this thing here again. In fact, the last time he had seen such a twisted and mutated creature was in another world—even in that world, the monster was just as nightmarish.

Lu Wu thought that he had forgotten this kind of thing, but it turned out that this thing was very difficult to forget.

Unlike many sci-fi plots, where the apocalyptic mutation is a man-eating monster, this kind of monster is slow and poses no threat to humans at all. Even what exactly it eats is a debatable. However, it is no less terrifying than those man-eating monsters. In fact, in a way, it's far more terrifying than a man-eating monster.

Because at least you can fight the man-eating monsters, at least theoretically, the monsters will be killed one day, and this kind of thing...... It represents a long, peaceful, but hopeless end.

"Alienation" has already begun on Earth. This means that all animals and plants in this world are inedible. Eating this kind of thing, the human genes will still begin to collapse and mutate, lose all wisdom and reason, and become indescribable and unimaginable. This thing is now a strange beast, but what it used to be, only God knows.

Humans can only live for more than ten days without food, and all this will continue for hundreds of years.

Are there enough food reserves to live on Earth for hundreds of years? The answer is absolutely no. No matter how the humans of Earth respond, no matter what heroic or stupid choices they make, their ultimate fate cannot be changed.

Lu Wu opened his eyes and watched. Ahead was a dull light. The sun rises, and nothing in the world can change. He once thought that a war of conquest was always accompanied by blood and fire, and that it would have to be fought through stubborn resistance and repeated tug-of-war. But in fact, there is no such thing as none, and there is no need to bother.

The so-called fierce battles and so on will only take place between enemies with similar technology levels.

Above the land, a figure towered.

The creature with an upper body resembling a human body, but a snake on the lower body. Although it is said to be a snake, it does not actually have scales, and the end of the tail is as abrupt as an earthworm to form an oval.

Of course, its upper body can only be said to be humanoid, not human. Both arms, hands have four fingers, and one more knuckle than a human. The creature's head was not round, but long, like a man wearing a high hat. Its mouth is very different from that of humans, and is closer to the mouthparts of insects. He seemed to be laughing at the landing five openers, and he seemed to be shouting.

The Kashes...... A creature called a "banshee" by warlocks. They are called because their bodies (i.e., their upper body) are somewhat similar to human women, but it's impossible to know for sure if it's **.

This is the Gasheite, the culprit of all this.

They are a highly intelligent race that is not inferior to warlocks in terms of technology, or even higher than warlocks, but unfortunately, warlocks have supernatural abilities called "magic" in addition to technology. The skill of the Gashes was clearly not yet to the point of defeating magic. Eventually, they all died in the wrath of the warlocks, but even so, they still left a strong mark on the Wago.

Lu Wu finally understood that the creature was laughing, presumptuous, and smug. Indescribable anger and sorrow rose in his heart at the same time, and although he knew that he could not do anything, he still instinctively clenched his fists......

The next moment, his eyes opened, and all he saw was a dim light.

The lights in the cage were dim - although it was said to sleep with the lights on, it was also partially turned off. Except for the staff on duty, everyone lay in a mess, snoring one after another.

Even the staff on duty who were not allowed to sleep were actually drowsy, and they were far away from Lu Wu's side.

"Partner, are you having a nightmare?" Lu Wu still felt a cold feeling on his neck, but the voice of a master sounded in the earphones.

Very slight sound. Speaking of which, the master used to be very evasive about speaking out - whenever he went to a place where there were many people, the master would not speak again. But this time, he took the initiative to speak.

"Yes...... I dreamed of ......," Lu Wu said softly. He also spoke in a very small voice. Although this is strictly unnecessary, several people snore so loudly that even if someone up their ears to listen, they can't hear the voice. "Something not so good. ”

"I looked for a clue. The master said. "An important key clue that has never been seen before. ”

"What?"

"Today, a person came to the detention center, not a prisoner, but a guest. And this person is attentive to you. ”

If Lu Wu is not mistaken, he doesn't seem to see anyone who meets this standard. All he saw was a few disciplines.

"He didn't see you directly, he watched you through the surveillance," the master said.

"How do you know?"

"Ha, this detention center is full of surveillance, as long as I can find a convenient way to enter, I can know everything here. The master said. "And luckily, even though most of the surveillance here is video-only, there are some sound ...... They were talking in a room for days. Although there is no video in the room, the surveillance is functioning normally. So I heard their conversation. I looked up the identity of that person...... It took a lot of effort, but I found it, thanks to the developed Internet. ”

"Who? Yes...... Are the people we expected?" he remembered the people he had offended. Relatives, classmates, neighbors, passers-by, or anything like that. Although Lu Wu felt that he should not have any enemies who wanted his life, the premise was that the other party must be an "ordinary person". Possess reason and emotion within the normal realm. But in case someone is not psychologically normal, then the situation cannot be speculated with normal logic.

Sometimes, the dagger that pierced it was sharp, but it was shiny. But the discovery of the dagger did not play a critical role. The arm that holds the dagger, and the brain that drives it, that's where the real one goes.

From one point of view, Lu Wu realized that there were really too many people who wanted to kill him—so much so that he couldn't count them at all. After all, there is no guarantee that a person who looks normal is actually psychopathic. After all, a person living in the world, more or less, will always have conflicts with other people.

"No, partner, it's not what we thought, it's a ...... I'm sure you don't have anything in touch. The master said. "Distinct parallel lines, you have never had any contact in your life. Either way, his interest in you should be just a 'whim'...... Of course, it can only be a suspicion at the moment. Partner, your situation is more sinister than you yourself think. You know, my strength is limited after all, and Dumb is not willing to fight. ”

Although it is said that it is unexpectedly simple to buy Dumb to help, but how to say it, whether Dumb's strength can fight is a question.

Dumb has the supernatural ability to heal and even treat some terminal diseases that are currently unsolved, such as cancer. Although theoretically speaking, since Dumb can cure cancer cells, he can naturally turn normal cells into cancer. But it was doubtful whether this power could be used in hand-to-hand combat—besides, it was unclear whether it was faith or something else, so Dumb refused to fight.

"I know. Lu Wu replied. He had already faced the problem squarely, or rather, from the very beginning of his decision to go ahead with the plan, he knew that it was actually dangerous.

This so-called plan to lure the snake out of the hole is, in the final analysis, to create an opportunity for the enemy to make a move. Then, follow the vine and follow the channels exposed by the enemy.

It wasn't that Lu Wu didn't encounter hostility before, for example, the steel mill was inspected by a group of inexplicable departments before. But those things, although they were obviously looking for trouble, did not feel murderous in them.

Although it is said that he is here to get you, it is uncertain whether he wants your money or your life. In fact, it feels more like the former. The master followed this line and finally found a person at the level of a director and a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and the clue was interrupted. If you want to continue the investigation, you must take the initiative to attack, chase and beat hard, and even use all kinds of illegal methods (such as kidnapping people and torturing them or something), otherwise there is no way.

And in this way...... In a sense, it's adding risk to yourself out of thin air.

In fact, even if it is traced, it is difficult to say what results can be traced. Maybe it's just that so-and-so leader has a hot brain, or it seems that so-and-so has a crush on the steel mill and wants a piece of the pie - in short, the so-called good at the top must be voted at the bottom, and the emperor will break his leg below. Who can tell what the great leader of the source thinks? Maybe it's really just a casual remark, just a whim. For the current Lu Wu, this small probability is not worth wasting energy and risking to track down.

At the end of the day, it's hard to tell how to kill a killer. Unless the other party has made a real act, there is no way to judge at all. And the real action, which is impossible to mistake...... That's no joke.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to escape from a real killing game to talk about finding out the melon, and in turn to track the whereabouts of the other party.

"So partner, for the best of the best, I've got you a guard. The master said suddenly.

"Guard?amber?" Lu Wu was slightly surprised.

"Not a little warlock, not as strong as her, but what...... It's similar in a way. I have to say, though, that I haven't fully convinced her, or that I haven't offered her a satisfactory price. So she will come to meet you, and you have to convince her. Anyway, it's a deal, the same as Dumb. By the way, she's already here. ”

"Coming?" Lu Wuyi was shocked...... It's the middle of the night, who else but the correction?

He cautiously got up, walked slowly to the door, looked out through the small window, and saw a person who was not at all expected.
