Chapter XXXVII
While strolling through the forest, Dr. Jiang spoke eloquently.
"Since the gate was not large enough to pass large vehicles, we had to go on foot. Everything was fine at first, but three days later, when we passed through a canyon, the unexpected happened. ”
"That thing...... It's like a wriggling darkness that everyone who touches it will be swallowed up. What's even more bizarre is that it doesn't seem to be an entity, and the bullets of the guns and guns all pass through the black shadows and hit other places. There is nothing we can do about this unspeakable enemy. ”
"Covenant Beast?"
"That's right, it's the Covenant Beast."
Nodding, Dr. Jiang confirmed Su Peng's guess. At the same time, he finally withdrew his gaze and moved to Su Peng.
"That earth, though very similar to the one we live in, is completely different. In its own history, it has evolved a special organism called the Covenant Beast. This is the conclusion I came to after fleeing back to Earth under the cover of sacrificing almost all of my soldiers. Just as I was glad I had escaped, I didn't notice that the demon had followed us into our world. ”
"Since you're standing here, it means it's been defeated?"
"No, not defeated. It can only be said that it is a choice of natural environment, it is unusually powerful in that world, but after arriving here, it falls into a deep sleep for unknown reasons. And the covenant beast you have summoned is the result of research on it. ”
"That dangerous thing...... Is it really possible? ”
"But we have no other choice. For the future of humanity, it is necessary to acquire the means to be able to survive on that planet. The only one who can fight against the Covenant Beast is the Covenant Beast itself! ”
"Then there's no need to use us as experiments, right?"
The little princess, who was shocked by her change of position just now, seemed to have finally come back to her senses and said indignantly.
"He is full of hope for the future world of mankind, but what he is doing is to harm his own people. No matter how flowery the rhetoric, you can't hide the fact that your hands are covered in blood! ”
"Unfortunately, the Great Truth can't save the world."
In the face of Xia Muyun's accusation, Dr. Jiang just glanced at her lightly.
"The factors extracted from that black shadow can only create 108 contract beasts, and for this existence, which is completely different from ordinary life, existing science has no way to make it reproduce in large numbers. After countless experiments and countless failures, I found a way to keep it digitally and obey the orders of the contractor. And what we want is to let these covenant beasts eliminate themselves and evolve into more perfect existences. ”
Qin Yuyan had made similar inferences before. After all, their intentions were not concealed at all, and they even forced a duel to ensure that all they left behind were more powerful covenant beasts.
"That kind of thing, wouldn't it be nice for your army to do it?"
"No, the Covenant Beast has mutated in our world. It can be said that if you become the embodiment of the soul of the contractor, you will not be able to survive if you break away from the contractor. However, the Covenant Beast summoned by the soldiers ...... It's pretty much the same. It has no potential to evolve into various special abilities. ”
It's a bit ironic, it's like test-taking education. The same thing that is taught is not good at anything other than the exam. Su Peng nodded understandingly.
"So, you invited me here to cooperate with you in your experiments?"
Hearing that he deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "please", Dr. Jiang smiled slightly.
"It is true that the methods we use are not honorable. Nor do I intend to justify myself. But the promise is serious. As long as you cooperate with us, the finisher will never appear in front of you. ”
“…… Say, what do you want me to do? ”
"As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to explore here due to the inability to transport it by large vehicles. The geomagnetic structure is different from ours on Earth, which makes it difficult to communicate over long distances, and equipment such as drones cannot be used. In this case, your speed is the key to our exploration of the world. ”
Dr. Jiang beckoned, and out of the back stepped out a white blonde woman wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"This is Dr. Kayla. She will be responsible for collecting data from you, and she will also communicate the details of your tasks to you from now on. Get to know each other."
"Hello"
Speaking in slightly stiff Chinese, Kayla smiled and stretched out her right hand. But Su Peng felt that the way she looked at her was as if she was looking at some novel toy.
"Hello ......"
After a moment's hesitation, he held out his hand. However, the moment he made contact with Kayla's hands, he suddenly felt a tingling pain. He retracted his hand suddenly, only to find that there was already a small blood-red dot on it.
"Take a blood sample, don't worry."
“……”
Sure enough, I feel right, this crazy woman. Complaining in his heart, Su Peng looked at Dr. Jiang, whose expression remained unchanged. Sure enough, like gathers like.
"Next, put this on."
The blue eyes stared at Su Peng, and the smile on Kayla's face grew more and more ...... It's weird. Stretching out her hand, she handed Su Peng a watch-like instrument.
"What is this?"
"Recorder. The next thing you have to do is enter the Divine Realm and run with the Covenant Beast, and we will record your speed and surroundings. ”
“…… Flash, come out."
After Su Peng called, a big yellow cat suddenly sprang out from the back of the team. The sudden situation made the GIs nervous for a moment, and they all pointed their guns at Xiao Shen, who was half-squinting at the golden vertical pupils.
"Well, it's that little girl's covenant beast ability. Remember it's called...... Phantom? The ability to absorb visible light to achieve near-invisibility is interesting. ”
Touching the stubble on his chin, Dr. Jiang looked around Xiao Shan with interest. It was as if I could see the invisible covenant beast.
"It's just a harmless covenant beast, put the gun down. Extend the alert and report anything to Dr. Kayla. ”
Dropping these words, Dr. Jiang glanced at Su Peng again and turned around and returned to the gate.
Bang Bang~
Clapping her hands twice, Kayla pulled Su Peng's gaze back to herself. Pressing on her glasses seemed to bring up a window, she nodded.
"Time is precious, Su Peng, let's start if you don't mind. The farthest data to explore from here is 47 kilometers to the south, so let's just run 50 kilometers round trip. Let me see if you're really as fast as Mr. Chiang said. ”
Glancing at her, Su Peng walked to Xiao Shan's side. I touched it behind it, closed my eyes and began to remember how it felt when I used it. Although it was just an accidental result of impulsiveness at that time, Su Peng always felt that if he really wanted to do it, he could get that strength back.
Gradually, he began to heat up. It's not the scorching heat, it's the pleasure of the cells all over the body trembling. In the next moment, as if he was dominated by his body's own desires, he turned into lightning and disappeared in an instant.
Syllable~
Kayla's freshly picked coffee cup fell to the floor, but she didn't seem to notice it. looked at the place where Su Peng disappeared in a daze, and only turned his head to the soldiers beside him after half a sound.
"You ...... Did you see where he went? ”
“……”
