The sound of footsteps circling back and forth sounded over and over again, and it didn't take long for Number 46 to be upset by the noise—the pain of jumping under his temples finally made him look up and yell at Number 45, who had been pacing: "Don't go!" You can't sit down! ”

Number 45 immediately paused, lowering an expressionless goose egg face.

When their eyes met in mid-air, Number 46 realized that her eyes had shrunk several times at some point, and there was only a small black dot in the whites of her eyes, staring straight at herself—not the same kind of eyes as she looked at her own kind.

He snapped into a shudder, and it occurred to him that no matter what it looked like, the other party was no longer human—and that he was not as strong as a depraved seed now.

"You make me think about what to do now." Number 46 lowered his voice, "...... I don't believe this copy will give us a dead end. ”

Number 45 seemed to think about it for a moment, and then his feet, which had been staying not far from him, moved again, and he stepped aside and sat down.

"I mean, if it weren't for you being caught," she sneered coldly at 47 as soon as she sat down. "The only 49 that can be beaten is not going to jump—but I really don't understand what she thinks, if I have to say; What's the use of going on......"

No. 46 felt that his brain was big in her buzzing voice, but he didn't dare to say anything; After taking a few breaths, just as he was about to say "That's to confirm that this method of death works", he suddenly felt the blades under him tremble again.

No. 45's body suddenly popped up like a spring. Even No. 47, who had only recovered half of his physical strength, was busy rolling and crawling to No. 46's side; All three of them were on full alert, staring at the edge of the leaf that had been cut - they had enough of the shock today.

From under his feet came the whole plant shook one after another, but no one was seen for a long time; Just when it was strange, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the plant: "Hey! Where do you look? ”

No. 46's heart fell back into his stomach with a bang, and his blood was hot.

For him, Lin Sanjiu's voice had never been so pleasant and beautiful as it was at this moment.

As soon as he turned around, he really saw Lin Sanjiu, who had just stuck his head out from another leaf not far away; Not only did she look unharmed, but even the large purple flower behind her was still well inserted.

"You...... Are you okay? ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" As she spoke, she climbed onto the leaf where they were under the stunned gazes of several people in the group.

"What about the people in the fourth group? How many died? ”

"None of them died—didn't Harry tell me nothing? I don't know where three of them fell. Only the man in the lead was found; But just before I came up. I left him where he was. ”

From the faces of the three people in the fifth group, it seemed that a lot of emotions and thoughts that could not be appealed to words rolled over in an instant, but there was nothing that a few people could say for a while.

"What are you looking at me like that?" Lin Sanjiu was also stared at by them, and he couldn't stand it. "The reason why I brought him back. It's because of a situation that just happened......"

Seeing this, Lin Sanjiu waved his hand and showed a card-like thing to several people in the same group.

"Look."

On the card in her hand, there was a line of black font on [No. 31 Number Plate in Area F of Harry Farm]. The dim and ambiguous air of the greenhouse shimmered.

“…… Number, number plate? No. 47 was stunned, "This is what you look like after you put it away?" How is it number 31? Whose number does this belong to? ”

"The one who led the fourth group just now," Lin Sanjiu glanced at the card, and then put it away. "Depending on the division, the number in progress is also different, and I asked him after I got this, and it seems that there are numbers starting with 40 in other groups."

"This—" No. 45 stopped talking, as if he had a stomach full of doubts; After thinking about it, he finally asked, "He has no number plate, and you still asked him?" So, the guy in the fourth group didn't die? ”

Lin Sanjiu smiled, didn't explain, just turned his gaze to No. 46 - even though her hand was now empty, the latter's gaze was still staring straight at her hand at this time - a face under his thick bangs gradually flushed with excitement, obviously thinking about the key to the whole thing in this short moment.

“…… That's right," Forty-Six said softly and hurriedly, "That's right. He won't die, not without the number plate, because the condition that 'if you don't have the number plate, you will die', can only be applied in the cave - when the number plate is gone, we will be crushed to death by the ground immediately. ”

"Oh, yes, we're on the surface now!" Number 45 immediately came to his senses. "Even if we take off the number plate, there are no conditions that can kill us."

"That's right, the number plate is no longer able to save our lives-" Number 46 gritted his teeth and smiled, and even scolded Harry in a low voice just like Lin Sanjiu had just done. Raising his head again, his eyes had already lit up: "Then let me ask you, what is it that distinguishes us from other ordinary evolutionaries on the surface now?" ”

"The most essential difference between an ordinary evolutionary and us at this moment is that we are able to absorb nutrients in the greenhouse, while ordinary evolutionaries cannot. Our bodies have not been modified in any way, and the only thing that makes the difference between the two is—"

Speaking of this, he took out his number plate from his collar and laughed heartily: "Isn't this it!" ”

"Wait, what is that guy in the fourth group now? Plants, or evolutionists? No. 47 hurriedly interjected, and while asking, he involuntarily glanced at the direction in which the martial arts vest fell at that time.

"I've asked Harry about that." Lin Sanjiu replied in a timely manner: "...... That guy didn't have a number plate, which means that the nutrient absorption pipe was cut off by me; But because he has already completed the seed and germination period. So it's still a plant in the fourth group, and that won't change for the time being unless he dies. ”

No. 46 burst into laughter, as if he had finally put together the last piece of the puzzle, and his face was refreshing: "That's right, this makes sense!" Didn't Harry, the bastard, just say that? What is really a matter of life and death is the 'real-time per capita absorption'! ”

"Didn't he spend minutes explaining the definition of 'real-time' after he finished the word? I think Harry definitely did it on purpose, presumably just to make us all ignore one thing-" 46 paced back and forth, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Why did he say 'per capita'?" It doesn't matter which group of people in the greenhouse dies. The uptake of all members within the group varied together. The numbers that change are also exactly the same. The use of the word 'per capita' only means that there may be a situation where the number of people has not changed, but the total absorption of the whole group has decreased. ”

"What do you mean...... Now the man has no number plate and can't absorb nutrients. So did it directly lower the per capita absorption of the fourth group? Number 47 asked, thinking. But Harry didn't announce that the absorption ranking of Group 4 had been lowered, did he? ”

"Harry never took the initiative to report on the nutrient uptake of each group." Number 46 snorted lightly. “…… The reason why he told us about the absorption ranking of Group 5 was because we asked; If he didn't ask, he would just tell everyone that someone had died. ”

"That's right – we can even ask Harry to keep our ranking information private; So. Even if the other groups asked, he wouldn't have said. Lin Sanjiu smiled.

By this time, the crazy blood-colored color of her eyes had long since disappeared without a trace, and the amber eyes had regained their clarity and distinctness; After saying "Wait a minute", she raised her voice and asked, "Harry, please let me know the ranking and absorption of the fourth group." ”

As soon as he said this, the other three couldn't help but get a little nervous, and even breathed lightly - as if they were afraid to disturb Harry's speech.

When his answer finally echoed in the air, everyone's faces couldn't help but light up - "At present, the ranking of the fourth group remains unchanged, and the real-time per capita absorption is 280 micrograms per person. ”

Lin Sanjiu's eyes rolled slightly.

"It's down," No. 45 grinned at in excitement, which made several people notice a row of teeth in her mouth that were denser than ordinary people: "The total number has decreased, but the number of people has not changed, which means that ...... Well, we only need to get two more numbered cards and the fourth group will be at the bottom! ”

"But the people in the fourth group are scattered now, it's not easy to find......" No. 47 only said half a sentence, but was suddenly interrupted by Lin Sanjiu's mouth - "I also arrested the man in the martial arts vest just now, you wait for me, I'll go and bring him up." ”

"What are you doing with him?" Number 46 immediately frowned. Now that the number plate has arrived, people are just a burden.

But before he could say anything more, Lin Sanjiu had already turned around and slid down the stem, jumping on another leaf in the vertical direction under their feet.

“…… I'll tie people here, behind this leaf......"

A clear female voice came from under her feet, and several people were lying on the edge of the leaves, and they could only vaguely see Lin Sanjiu's figure flashing past between the green leaves a few times.

"What about people?" Number 45 raised her voice to ask, but the only response she received was the sound of her soft footsteps.

"Ah, here it is."

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the leaf below like an arrow from the string, and quickly pounced in the other direction - several people were stunned, and it took half a second to realize that the black shadow was Lin Sanjiu; With a few "bangs", the green leaves she threw into shook violently a few times, and then suddenly another figure rushed out, like a rabbit being targeted by an eagle, and hurriedly fled to a huge vine in the distance.

The man was so fast that a few people could only see a flash of red, and they quickly approached the vines; However, Lin Sanjiu had already prepared, and he chased straight after him with a kick under his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he had already caught that person.

Several people also realized at this time that Lin Sanjiu's words just now were obviously just a pretext, probably because they had already discovered that there was a person hiding nearby, so they deliberately relaxed that person's vigilance. Although it was not known who the man who had been hiding in the shadows was, Number 45 shouted, "Catch him!" ”

The two figures below were entangled together in an instant, and while several people immediately held their breath, they saw that the tall and long figure suddenly seemed to be not standing firmly, and one of them staggered, and fell backwards in a very unnatural posture - the next second, Harry "tsk" out: "...... You can't use force. ”

"Is this called force?" No. 45 shouted, "49 hasn't made any effort yet!" ”

Harry didn't answer.

It's just such a short delay, enough for the figure in red to escape; As he spoke, the shadow leaped up the vine, and then disappeared into the layers of vegetation with a few jumps through its branches, and even the last trace was swallowed up by the dense greenery.

It wasn't until he couldn't see him anymore that Lin Sanjiu got up.

Looking at the other three people who had just jumped off the green leaves and ran towards her, she exhaled and raised her hand.

As she moved, a strap suddenly drooped from his palm, and at the end, a square number plate swayed back and forth in the air in several arcs.

"Ah, you got it!" No. 45's face lit up, and even No. 47, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "...... Is that person from the fourth group? I remember they ran away with one at the beginning. ”

Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly.

"It's not." As soon as she turned her hand over the number plate, she saw that the eyes of several people were focused on her hand, and she couldn't help but say, "...... This is the number plate of Zone C, number 56. ”

That is, not the people of the fourth group.

"I don't know what group he is from, but it doesn't affect our original plan." Number 47 said softly, "Now that my strength has recovered a lot, we can continue to split up to find the fourth group...... It doesn't matter if that person hears our conversation, because we have lowered the fourth group of rankings, and it doesn't matter to him; At the end of the day, growth is just a battle between us and the fourth group. ”

This logic is indeed true.

But when the sky was about to get dark again and the lights on the roof of the greenhouse were lit up one by one, the fifth group ushered in a change that they did not expect.

Although several people had changed to a more secluded location, the members of the group where the red-clothed man belonged still somehow found the door-the person who came was the bald head of the second group that Lin Sanjiu had dealt with. He was joined by a member of the third group, tall and thin, with a gloomy expression.

"We already know about the number plates," the member of the third group said.

"Old girl, I have an idea, we can all go out." The bald head smiled at Lin Sanjiu. (To be continued.) )
