These more than 100 black-backed pterosaurs looked at Zhou Yu with very vigilant eyes. In such a short distance, once they accelerated and rushed over, Zhou Yu couldn't even find the corpse.

Ledou was even more scared.

Zhou Yu stood up, and these black-backed pterosaurs also straightened their waists, staring at Zhou Yu with a pair of eyes, as if they would kill Zhou Yu if he made any abnormal move.

Don't be afraid, please don't attack me.

Zhou Yu conveyed such a message to the creatures, and he was not sure if they would be able to understand it. And if they understand, will they be able to trust him?

Zhou Yu slowly walked towards the one closest to him. It looks young, with a muscular body and wings several times the size of its body.

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and approached it. The pterosaur, on the other hand, opened its mouth, ready to spray a liquid that could corrupt Zhou Yu's flesh and blood.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

Zhou Yu tried his best to make his mood soft and gentle, without the calmness and decisiveness he usually had.

When his fingers touched the pterodactyl's forehead, and when the warmth spread, the pterosaur closed its eyes and tilted its head.

Zhou Yu got its response, sensing the message that the other party had conveyed to him.

It has in its mind memories of being controlled by Túrin. Túrin killed its parents and took its siblings for research. It was so weak that Túrin thought it would not survive, so he threw it into his nest. When Túrin was gone, his mind was filled with the voices of his siblings calling for help.

I'm not going to do anything like that, trust me.

Túrin is also my enemy.

Zhou Yu exchanged his memories of pursuing Túrin to the other party.

The black-backed pterosaur sensed with its eyes closed, and Zhou Yu could feel that it was reading this memory as well as dispersing it among the other pterosaurs.

When it opened its eyes, that look of defensiveness was gone. It turned its face sideways and meekly pressed against Zhou Yu's palm.

The other black-backed pterosaurs also showed a lazy posture, lying on the wasteland and began to bask in the sun, as if they and Zhou Yu were old friends who had been friends for many years.

"I'm disappointed, you've got them done, and I'm waiting to use my strength to clean up your mess!"

In the human world, this is called heart-to-heart. I think they're my friends now. In the world of the Nibelungen, the mind cannot lie, and this kind of communication is more sincere, unlike in the world of human beings, where feelings can only be expressed in words, and there is always a lot of deception. ”

"I kind of regret teaching you to communicate with the creatures here the Nibelungen way. None of the S-class creatures would exchange their memories with creatures lower than themselves, and it was probably the first time that these black-backed pterosaurs had exchanged information with S-class creatures on an equal footing. Usually we don't tell them what we think, we just tell them what they do. ”

"It's a pity that I am human, and although humans are greedy and shameless, they are creatures who are afraid of loneliness, and we crave communication."

"So in addition to this silly three-eyed giant bird, there are more than a hundred new friends?" Mo Ye propped his head, revealing an extremely unhappy expression, "When I get my abilities back, I'm going to blow up all their heads." ”

"You don't have to worry about your status at all, because you are neither my friend nor my pet." Zhou Yu rubbed Mo Ye's head amusedly.

"So, what am I yours?" Mo Ye asked, raising her face.

"What do you say?"

Mo Ye turned his face sideways and kissed Zhou Yu's fingers.

A whole wasteland, so dry that it seemed to crack and spark, seemed to be permeated by a gentle water source at that moment.

The sun is setting in the west, the temperature of the rocky desert is gradually dropping, and the wind is mixed with the smell of sand and gravel, so dry that it seems that a spark will burst out at any moment.

But if you taste it carefully, you can feel a hint of coolness.

The air on the tip of the nose is also a little moist.

Stars loom in the sky.

"It's time for us to go back." Mo Ye stood up and stretched.

"Come back tomorrow." Zhou Yu patted the dust particles on his body.

"If it's tomorrow, who do you want to be friends with?" Mo Ye asked half-jokingly.

"I don't know, but as you say, I consider them friends, and if one day, according to the principles of natural selection, they die, my heart will be very painful."

"What do you want to do so much? It's like I'm in love with you, and I know very well in my heart that the probability of you walking in front of me is far greater than accompanying me for life. We can't refuse to have it because we're afraid of losing. Mo Ye raised his eyebrows, came to the front of the black-backed dragon, turned around and raised a bright smile in the direction of Zhou Yu, "Please give us a ride!" ”

Ledou, who has been staying with them in the desert, has long been dehydrated from the sun.

Zhou Yu took out his kettle, poured water into Le Dou's mouth, and then patted its head and said, "Man, I've worked hard for you today, you can go back first." ”

Ledou nodded, raised his wings and flew away.

The black-backed pterosaur came to Zhou Yu's side, raised its wings on one side, and motioned for Zhou Yu to sit up.

As Zhou Yu took off, the other pterosaurs followed, as if guarding them.

They sped under the night sky, starlight falling on Zhou Yu's shoulders, and a whole group of black-backed pterosaurs cast shadows on the ground.

They walked through the primeval forest, leaped over the lake left by Ymir, and returned to the grassland.

And Zhou Qing was still sitting on the tree, waiting for them to come back.

"If you don't come back, I'm going to look for you." Zhou Qing said.

"How are you going to get to us?" Zhou Yu grabbed his brother's shoulder.

"I can manipulate the devil's vine."

"But the desert where we are located has no water, and if the devil vine enters that desert, I am afraid that it will dry up and die." Zhou Yu half-jokingly said that he now knew that Zhou Qing was no longer the researcher he used to be the researcher who needed to be protected.

"Then next time you can tell Ledou to leave it by my side." Zhou Qing said.

"Okay, next time I'll let Ledou stay with you."

Back to their base last night, Zhou Yu had Professor Chen and had an in-depth exchange.

He explained his thoughts to Professor Chen.

"I found that when I was able to communicate with other creatures in the guò Nibelungen way, in a sense, they could be our friends and even allies, just like humans of different races. If both Cook and Isaac can enhance their genes and abilities in some way, I wonder if the creatures of the Nibelungen can too? If we can strengthen our allies, we can form a strong alliance. ”

"This will no longer be a lone battle of our 30 or so people, we can join forces to bring down the Juli Group, and even Di Xin." Professor Chen was very open-minded and fully understood what Zhou Yu meant in one or two sentences.

"So Professor Chen, do you think this is possible?"

Professor Chen's hand was in the air, and he tilted his head sideways as if he remembered something: "You wait a minute." ”

Professor Chen took out his tablet, entered the password and fingerprint confirmation, and found a research record.

The content of this project is quite a lot, and Zhou Yu glanced at it, there are hundreds of G.

"This was a research project when Song Zhihe Jinghang first came to the Nibelungen. At that time, they were quite simple, mainly devoted to research in the field of biology, and had nothing to do with any interests. In fact, the project has already had results, but this result was stopped by Juli Group without being verified by real cases, because this project has no practical significance for Juli Group, and can only use Nibelungen creatures and not humans. ”

Zhou Yuxiang stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand to signal to the other party if he could read it.

"Look!" Professor Chen pushed the tablet into Zhou Yu's hands, "The main content of this project is to break the hierarchy between Nibelungen organisms, that is, the mental constraints of higher organisms on lower organisms. ”

Zhou Yu never thought that Song Zhi would be such an excellent researcher. His level of research is not inferior to Jiang Jinghang, who is called a genius.

"Song Zhihe's idea was to create a virus. Make no mistake about it, this virus does not harm the organism itself, but acts as a vector. They are genetic portals that transfer the special genes of S-class creatures with super healing abilities into the bodies of other creatures. When the virus infects all cells of an organism, it brings the gene into every cell. Theoretically, the minds of creatures infected with the virus would be closely linked to those of the S-class creatures that infected them. Their brains will no longer be controlled by other creatures, except for this S-class creature. And their physical abilities will also increase exponentially, including their ability to heal themselves. ”

"I understand why Juli Group stopped the project. Because even if this project succeeds, it will only control the creature in the hands of an S-class creature, not a human being. Unless this S-class creature is dead, these creatures will never be free. ”

"But Zhou Yu, you're different. This power is like a sword sealed in a zài scabbard, and just because you have this sword doesn't mean you want to shine it. You can be the protector of the brains of these creatures, not the controllers. You have the right to choose, and those creatures who can communicate with you have the right to choose whether or not to trust you. Professor Chen said.

"I need to think about it."

"Yes, of course you need to consider that although they can connect with your brain so that they are not controlled and used by other S-class creatures, in the same way, once your ability is not enough to compete with a senior S-class creature like Di Xin, Di Xin can also take control of these creatures from your brain."

"So if I'm not strong enough, I can't protect my friends."

"Yes, kid."

Professor Chen's words made Zhou Yu fall into deep thought.

Zhou Yu couldn't sleep that night. He left the base and returned to the grassland.

He lay flat on the ground, surrounded by vegetation, with a starry sky hanging low above him.

Mo Ye came to his side and leaned over to gently hug him.

"I know your concerns."

"yes, how free you are to listen to these voices. They have their own ideas and their own way of being. Once you are associated with me, maybe this qiē will not exist zài. ”

"There is no absolute power, there is no absolute power, and there is a price to pay if you want to be free, because freedom is not absolute. You should ask about their options. ”

Mo Ye sat up, his fingers lightly running over Zhou Yu's forehead.

Of course, when you are open about your thoughts to those creatures, they have the freedom to trust or not trust you. I know who you are, and so do the creatures who feel you. It's a war. If we are to win, we must trust those who will fight alongside us. ”

"I see."

At this time, a shadow passed by in the sky, and Le Dou didn't know when he flew back and landed beside Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu rubbed Ledou's head funny: "You guy, why are you here so late?" Don't go to sleep and beware of having your head blown off by this bad guy next to you. ”

Mo Ye on the side hugged his knees and laughed.

"You called Ledou here?" Only then did Zhou Yu react.

"I said I'm going to blow his head out and scare it." Mo Ye also stood up and touched Le Dou's head, "You are a person with a strong sense of responsibility, Zhou Yu." You are also a person who draws your bottom line very clearly. Once Ledou or other creatures accept your protection, you will certainly not abuse this power, but will do everything you can to protect them. So don't wonder if you're taking away the freedom of these creatures? You're going to ask them. Their choice is their own freedom. ”

Mo Ye pressed his head to Ledou's, and he passed on his thoughts to Ledou.

What he didn't expect was that Ledou not only agreed, but was also very happy.

It's like something it's always dreamed of.

"You didn't force it, did you?" Zhou Yu looked suspiciously in the direction of Mo Ye.

"When you read its brain, I can't fake it, and I can't control it." Mo Ye spread his hands, expressing regret for Zhou Yu's suspicions.

Zhou Yu stroked Ledou's neck over and over again: "I hope I can be strong enough that you won't regret your decision." ”

Ledou's throat made a cheerful sound, shaking his wings.

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing.

Cole, who had been looking for several days without any results, covered his forehead in frustration.

The primeval forest was so vast, if Zhou Yu and Mo Ye deliberately wanted to avoid them, he could find them?

Cole's subordinates couldn't help but ask, "Chief, when can we go back?" Our inhibitors are failing. ”

"Cook is going to kill us." Cole said.

"Kill us, Zhou Yu and Mo Ye will come back? Perhaps they did not escape at all, but died in the helicopter. ”

"Forget it, let's go back." Cole shook his head helplessly, he was sure and sure that Mo Ye and Zhou Yu were definitely not dead.

Sure enough, when they returned to base, Cook was furious.

Her mechanical arm swung with a punch, and she was about to break Cole's head, but Isaac was suddenly stopped by Isaac, who was standing nearby.

"No one can watch Zhou Yu and Mo Ye." Isaac said.

"You agreed to this operation, and you must be accountable to Mr. Eaton." Cook said coldly.

"I've already reported it. You don't have to worry about being pulled into the water, and in your father's eyes, you are still the most perfect daughter. Isaac smiled wryly.

"What the hell are you calculating? Don't forget the fate of the betrayal group. ”

"I just think it's too early for you to worry about it. Sooner or later, Mo Ye and Zhou Yu will have to solve Di Xin, but when Di Xin is cleaned up, what else should you worry about is what power is stronger than Mo Ye and Zhou Yu? ”

With that, Isaac turned to leave with his pockets in his pocket.

The next day, Professor Chen and his researchers took some of Zhou Yu's blood samples, isolated the special enzyme from his blood samples, and synthesized a certain agent using the virus as a vector. At the same time, the project unlocked for Song Rin has also been prepared.

Mo Ye looked at the huge blood exchange device with a worried expression.

"I said Song Rin, you won't die in this thing like this, right?"

Song Rin stood in front of it with an indifferent expression.

"This is the result of thousands of calculations by my father and Dr. Jiang. There's nothing wrong with it, and my father would never risk my life. ”

Even though Song Zhi no longer exists in this world, Song Rin's trust in him has not wavered in the slightest.

Professor Chan and his team made one final correction.

Mo Ye patted Song Rin on the shoulder and said, "Remember to share with me how you feel after regaining your freedom." ”

"When you have the blood of your most important person in your body, do you think it's enough to just share?"

At the same time, Zhou Qing tried the agent synthesized by Professor Chen on other plants, and there was no rejection.

But their cell structures are strengthened, and their growth rate and division rate are different from those of ordinary plants.

Zhou Qing raised his eyes from the microscope and said to Zhou Yu: "I don't know if Song Zhi and Captain Jiang Jing expected this day, their calculations and analyses have reached perfection, what is missing is only proof." I think this virus should be able to work on other creatures.

We can observe for another week to see if these plants show other negative reactions. ”

Zhou Yu also agreed with Zhou Qing's judgment.

"Yes, I hope this virus will not come at the cost of depleting the life force of living beings, like Cook and Isaac."

And the most important day has finally arrived.

Song Rin lay down in the blood exchange device, and almost the people of the entire base gathered in this real room.

Mo Ye came to Song Rin's side with his pocket, tilted his head and asked badly, "Do you have any last words to explain?" ”

"I'll ask you the same question the next time you're in this device."

Professor Chen's students took the spinal fluid from the capsule taken from Song Zhi's body and injected it into Song Rin's body.

As if his heart was stuck to death, Song Rin clenched his fists.

"Child, you have to put up with it, it's a normal reaction." Professor Chen comforted.

Zhou Yu, who was standing outside the glass wall and observing this qiē, was also quite nervous.

If Song Rin fails, then it will also cut off Mo Ye's hope of regaining his ability.

"Don't worry, I'm happy with the status quo." Mo Ye turned his face sideways to look at Zhou Yu.

For Mo Ye, as long as he is with Zhou Yu, even if he remains in his human form forever, he doesn't care.

Song Rin's blood was drawn out of her body and into another container.

His face gradually turned pale, the various voices in his head were constantly intertwined and wandering, and he was unable to control his abilities and senses as he normally would.

The sound of his heart beating became heavy, and his breathing became more and more difficult.

His body trembled with hypothermia.

Gradually, all perception departed, and his world sank.

The researcher monitoring Song Rin's vital signs turned his head to look at Professor Chen very worriedly: "Professor, his heart has stopped. ”

Professor Chan was worried, but he kept his senses.

"The heart is the organ that controls the flow of blood. There wasn't enough blood in his body, and stopping jumping was a matter of course. Unlike humans, creatures in the Nibelungen do not die even if they lose a lot of blood. Of course, Song Rin is the same. ”

"But a lot of blood loss and no blood at all are two different things!"

Seeing that the blood left in Song Rin's body was getting less and less, and it was already less than one-tenth, everyone clenched their fists nervously.

"Professor, it's still too late to stop, once all the blood is extracted, Song Rin will die."

"Life to die is the characteristic of Nibelungen creatures."

"Professor, Song Rin's cells are also losing their activity!"

This is a more dangerous sign than a heart stoppage.

Zhou Yu looked sideways at Mo Ye on the side, unlike other people's worries, Mo Ye's expression was always calm, and he seemed to have already determined the ending.

The last blood in Song Rin's body was also expelled from his body, and his cell activity index plummeted to zero.

"Can you still sense the activity in his brain?" Zhou Yu couldn't feel anything from Song Rin anymore.

Mo Ye just stared at Song Rin's face and didn't say a word.
