14. Incubation
"Can you shoot them?" Dr. Daniel asked.
"There are too many, there are obviously not enough bullets. But suicide is enough. Wu Yun replied.
There was silence in the carriage.
Wu Yun glanced back at Han Li: "I thought you would cry and say that you want to go home or I don't want to die here or something." ”
“…… This path is my own choice, even if the tears dry up and I gamble with my life, I have to finish it by myself. Han Li took a breath and glanced at Li Qian beside him, "I suddenly envied this guy, and I passed in a daze." ”
"I can knock you unconscious, too."
As soon as Wu Yun's words fell, their car slowly lowered its altitude and landed smoothly on the ground.
Everyone held their breath and did not dare to speak.
The sound of the devil vine moving came from the car body, "snoring", which was not at all in line with the rapid behavior of the devil vine.
They seem to be very cautious and cautious, afraid of hurting something.
Then the car shook, and the devil vine left from under the car.
No one dared to move, almost a minute passed, and nothing happened.
"Have they given up on us?" Han Li asked.
"I don't know, but it's not in line with the habits of the devil's vine." Wu Yun replied.
"Don't you think the Devil's Vine is actually saving us?" Dr. Daniel asked.
"No, what gave you such a fairytale idea?" Wu Yun asked funny.
"First, when we rushed into the Devil's Vine, they all got out of the way. With the speed of the devil's vine, what is the probability that we won't hit any of them? Zhou Yu asked.
"Yes, it's impossible," Wu Yun narrowed his eyes, "What about the second?" ”
"Second, is it a coincidence that the Devil Vine has been hunting those two-headed tarantulas that are chasing us from beginning to end, but has turned a blind eye to us, and can even be said to have made way for us to keep moving forward?"
Everyone exhaled in unison.
"Third, we almost crashed, but the devil's vine stopped us. By the way, the engine was dealt with, and we couldn't hit anything again. After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he opened the car door and walked out.
"Hey! Zhou Yu! Han Li became worried.
Zhou Yu stood there, half a minute passed, and nothing happened.
And those devil vines just coiled quietly on the ancient tree, without any intention of moving.
Wu Yun patted his head: "Okay, you are always so unexpected." ”
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Qing. That questioning gaze made Zhou Qing open his eyes.
None of the people in this car were fools, they all remembered that it was Zhou Qing who asked them to drive west and break into the territory of the Devil Vine.
But for many things, Zhou Qing didn't say why, and they wouldn't ask again. After all, being alive is the most important thing. And now is not the time to ask. Zhou Qing is a botanist, and perhaps he knows more about the habits of the devil vine than the rest of them. For example, the devil vine prefers food like two-headed tarantulas to them.
"Now we're going to hike again. And before dark, you definitely can't get out. Wu Yun shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Will you change your name?" Zhou Yu asked, opening the trunk, reloading his gun, and putting on all the magazines.
"Do you want to change the name to 'good luck'?" Wu Yun also began to pack up ammunition.
"Yes."
Dr. Daniel handed out food and water to everyone.
What is now worrying everyone even more is the efficacy of their inhibitors. If the effect has passed, and it has not reached the base, the result will be miserable.
Wu Yun handed a medicine box to Dr. Daniel: "Each person is assigned a potion. If you lose your own, then you are responsible for yourself, and you can't blame others. ”
Doctor Daniel came to Wu Yun and Zhou Yu with the last potion: "There is only the last one left, how can you two divide it?" ”
Zhou Yu raised his chin: "Give it to Wu Yun." ”
"You don't need to?" Dr. Daniel asked, surprised.
"I have another one." Zhou Yu opened his waist bag and showed it to the other party.
But Wu Yun was stunned: "This is what I threw at you from the base I destroyed, have you been useless?" ”
"Yes, I'm useless. If there is a need, I will leave it to Zhou Qing. ”
"All the way down...... Have you never been afraid? Wu Yun's eyes widened.
"I'm very good."
"I don't understand, how did you do that?" Wu Yun tugged at Zhou Yu's collar, "Are you Superman?" Or is it a monster? ”
"You only need to do it once. Ignoring fear once, you can do it a second time, a third time. ”
Zhou Yu looked directly into Wu Yun's eyes, unwavering.
"I don't believe it. Fear is a human instinct. What's going on in your head? Wu Yun's eyes narrowed.
He wanted to see through Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu seemed to have always been so simple and clear, and there was nothing he needed to think about.
"When you know that there are things that you have to do even if you die, there's nothing to fear. And there are other sensations that are more powerful than fear. Zhou Yu replied.
"For example?"
"Anger, for example. For example, you say to yourself that you must live. ”
Wu Yun was stunned, he loosened Zhou Yu's collar: "It's a crazy thing to partner with you." ”
"I thought you would say that it was a very exciting thing."
Wu Yun snorted lightly: "It's better to be optimistic about your brother." Our professor Zhou's sixth sense is surprisingly good. ”
"All the so-called 'sixth sense' is the brain's cues about itself after the accumulation of experience and knowledge. Zhou Qing had studied so many creatures in the Nibelungen, and it was not surprising that he used his sixth sense to save everyone. ”
Zhou Yu turned his face sideways to look in Zhou Qing's direction. His expression was calm.
When Zhou Qing put the food and water that belonged to him on his back, he said "thank you" in his mind.
And the familiar voice recalled again: "It was my pleasure. You will leave this forest safe and sound. ”
That's a commitment.
Zhou Qing's fingers trembled slightly. In other words, this qiē is really not an illusion of oneself. In the world of the Nibelungen, hierarchies are quite rigid. S-class creatures are above other creatures and have control over creatures of the same type that are lower than them. The Devil Vine must have saved them under the control of that S-class creature.
"You saved us, so what do you need me to do for you?" Zhou Qing asked in his heart.
He thought the other party would answer him. But more than ten seconds passed, and no one answered.
Did the S-class creature leave its brain?
Or, as a higher creature of this world, he was watching them struggle to survive in this world with a detached gaze. This qiē is just a pastime for him?
And at this moment, the moment Wu Yun lifted the box containing the embryo, the box suddenly shook.
"Oh my God! What is that! Han Li was taken aback.
Zhou Yu immediately raised it and grabbed it.
"Hey, hey, hey! Watch your shots! Aim for the box if you want to aim, don't aim at me! Wu Yunsheng was afraid of being hit by Zhou Yu.
"What's going on? What's in the box? Why did you carry it all the way? Dr. Daniel walked over.
"Biological embryos." Zhou Yu replied.
"What? You're still carrying biological embryos! Still think we're not dead enough? Han Li felt like he was going to a mental hospital.
"Why do you want to say it, look at what scares them!" Wu Yun said helplessly.
"Put the box down." Zhou Yu raised his chin.
"Okay. All right. Wu Yun slowly lowered his body and put the box on the ground.
"Turn it on." Zhou Yu said again.
"You told me to open it? What if it bites my head off? Wu looked at Zhou Yu with a gaze of "how can you be so ruthless".
"It's your choice to bite off your head or to have your head smashed by me." Zhou Yu's eyes meant "You have to carry this box, you have to be responsible for it".
"You're a tyrant!" Wu Yun was about to open the box, but Han Li disagreed.
"What if there's a two-headed tarantula in there."
"I'll kill it." Zhou Yu said coldly.
"And, Wu Yun, you carried this box all the way, don't tell me that you don't know what type of creature is inside." Daniel looked at Wu Yun with suspicion.
Wu Yun exhaled: "Do you see the color of this box?" Black box. ”
"It's a color that must be safely moved." Zhou Yu replied.
"So I'm just doing what we have to do." Wu Yun shrugged his shoulders.
"So, it's likely to be a B-class or even A-class creature inside?" Han Li became nervous.
"Maybe it's still S-class." Wu Yun spread his hands.
"Juli Group should not have reached the point where it can cultivate S-class creatures." Dr. Daniel replied, "And the value of embryos is very high, even if it is the embryo of a B-class organism, it should be of great significance for the study of the origin of life in the Nibelungen." It's just that...... Did it hatch? The embryo should be dormant to ......"
"This size can't be a creature above grade B." Zhou Qing said.
Zhou Qing's words made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wu Yun, if you don't open it again, it will suffocate inside." Dr. Daniel reminded.
"Wouldn't it be better for it to suffocate inside?" Han Li was still nervous.
"Okay, okay, I'll open it."
Wu Yun's fingers clasped the edge of the box, pointing it towards Zhou Yu. If there really is any dangerous creature, it will be shot dead by Zhou Yuyi.
"One...... Two...... Three! ”
The box was opened, and the moment he held his breath, Zhou Yu saw a pair of eyes as clear as amber, unworldly, fragile and innocent.
"Huh? What is it? ”
