Chapter 5: Treasure Hunting in the Desert
Star Ring quickly re-evaluated the feedback.
"Extraordinary genetic modification, extraordinary ability, 1 mission point is required for rent."
"Do you want to lease this ability?"
"Lend-lease."
"Deduct 1 temporary point and rent extraordinary genetic modification!"
A faint blood-red light flashed on the star ring again, and Jiang Zuo felt a clear burning heat in his body this time.
This burning sensation lasted for more than a minute before Jiang Zuo's feeling slowly returned to normal.
After moving his hands and feet, Jiang Zuo felt that his body movements were much more agile and flexible, and his strength increased greatly!
If his physical fitness was ordinary before, after the transcendental genetic modification, his physical fitness is much stronger than the strongest group of people in Blue Star in the blink of an eye!
Jiang Zuo strode to the balcony, it was already dark outside, and when someone passed by in the dark on the street downstairs, he could only see a dark figure.
But now he can easily see if there are any foreign objects on the street.
Genetic modification can not only improve the probability of human awakening and obtaining supernatural abilities, but also improve the human body itself.
"Genetic modification is really powerful, but unfortunately it will also be recycled after the mission is over, and until then, it must be put to good use."
Jiang Zuo nodded with satisfaction.
The loan of the transcendent gene, on the one hand, is to prepare for the upcoming game, but the bigger reason is that Jiang Zuo has other plans.
Taking out his mobile phone, Jiang Zuo booked a direct flight to Kodoros tomorrow morning.
Kodoros, a small country on the edge of the northern hemisphere, is located on the edge of the equatorial desert, and the national border is almost close to the giant iceberg that has disappeared.
"I almost couldn't book a ticket, it looks like it's going to be very lively."
Jiang Zuo looked at the flight information and sighed twice.
Kodoros is a small country with an extremely high temperature, so it can only engage in tourism in order to develop rapidly. Chinese tourists are world-famous for their money, but even if Kodoros gives Chinese tourists visa-free treatment and works hard to open direct flight routes, there are still very few people who will travel to Kodoros.
The temperature in Kodoros is too high for the Chinese people, and the attractions are just like that, not many people are willing to go there to get a tan, especially in June and July, when the temperature is at its highest.
Normally, only half of the tickets sold at this time of the day, but today, the flights to Kodoros are full, and tomorrow morning's tickets are almost sold out.
"Lao Xu, I'm quitting, rest for a few days, and wait for the evolution game to start."
Jiang Zuo then clicked on the chat software and sent a message to a friend who was marked "Feiyang Studio" under his profile picture.
Lao Xu's name is Xu Jian, and he is the owner of Feiyang Game Studio, and Jiang Zuo has worked with him in several games for three or four years.
Although he is the boss, Xu Jian is not very old, about the same as Jiang Zuo, about twenty-six or seventeen years old. It is said that he is a rich second generation who has made a game studio out of nothing.
At first, the studio was for Xu Jian to play, but then I didn't know how to do it, so it became a real game studio, and like other game studios, it began to take on various businesses.
"I still have a list to do, and I'm going to wait for a new tour when I'm done! Damn, who said that playing games has no future! I don't believe it, I can't get one of the 100,000 reward places! ”
Xu Jian was online and immediately replied to the message, looking very excited to evolve.
"Okay, I'll get back in touch then."
Jiang Zuo didn't say much.
100,000 places seems like a lot, but whether you can get the reward or not is not a question of whether you want to or not, it depends on your face.
Jiang Zuo knows a lot of people in the game, but he doesn't have a deep friendship, so he doesn't bother to send messages one by one.
Early the next morning, Jiang Zuo arrived at the airport and took a direct flight to Cordoros. At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at the airport in Cordoros.
Vehicles cannot walk in the great equatorial desert, and it takes several hours to get from Kodoros to the place where the giant iceberg disappears.
It was getting dark, Jiang Zuo found a hotel to rest for a night, his right foot seemed to be resting, and the next day he limped and found a dark-skinned tour guide who could speak Chinese.
"You're going to the Equatorial Sacred Mountain? No problem, I'm all too familiar with it, I've been there dozens of times in the past few years, and the route is absolutely safe, and I won't encounter mutant monsters! ”
The tour guide's name is Parker, although Parker doesn't know what this Chinese man with a lame right foot is going to do in Shenshan, but as long as he gives him money, he is too lazy to care about other things.
The equatorial desert is actually an iceberg that does not melt all year round in the high temperature, and many residents of Kodoros are frightened, calling it a sacred mountain and respecting it.
The appearance of the giant iceberg has made a lot more tourists come to Kodoros, but the most lively is only in the first year or two, but the iceberg can not be approached, and the telescope can only see a mist of white fog, and the number of tourists quickly dropped.
It wasn't until the giant icebergs disappeared in the past few days that the number of tourists skyrocketed again.
There are still many countries that need to apply for visas to come here, and the number of tourists will increase further in a few days.
In the past two or three days, the number of tourists going to Mount Kinabalu has skyrocketed, and Parker is familiar with the road.
After Jiang Zuo bought some tools, the two took an hour's car ride to the border, and then Parker helped hire two camels, water and food, and after they were ready, Jiang Zuo got on the camel and walked into the equatorial desert.
"Parker, are there a lot of mutated beasts in the desert?"
Jiang Zuo looked at the empty scorching desert and asked as he walked.
Fortunately, he has been genetically modified, otherwise he would not have been able to stand the weather after so many years at home.
"I didn't encounter much, but they were all scary. I remember one time, I took a tourist to encounter a group of fist-sized ants, and I was scared half to death, thinking that my life was going to be lost, but fortunately we ran fast and the ants did not chase us. Another time, I encountered a black sand eagle two or three meters large, and the sand eagle saw us from a distance and swooped down, its claws were similar to steel, and it would take two pieces of meat to catch it without dying. ”
"There is no place to hide around, I thought I was really going to die this time, but I didn't expect that the tourist was not an ordinary person, the sand eagle swooped down, the tourist jumped directly out a few meters high, punched the sand eagle, and knocked the sand eagle away! I realized that I had met someone who had awakened his powers. ”
Parker first had lingering memories, then a look of envy.
Awakening abilities, no matter who it is, are one step to the sky.
If he could awaken his abilities, he wouldn't have to work as a tour guide anymore.
"In this way, there are still a lot of mutated beasts."
Jiang Zuo touched his chin.
"There shouldn't be so many other places, but we have more here, which should be related to the appearance of the sacred mountain."
Parker shook his head.
He reads the newspapers a lot, and the beasts and animals in the small surrounding countries are far less mutated than Kodoros.
Jiang Zuo nodded.
He agrees with this statement, otherwise he wouldn't have run here.
But for the entire Blue Star, the change has just begun, and the birth of the world's treasures and the appearance of the Adventist are just the beginning.
……
"The area ahead is cordoned off and we can't take tourists there anymore."
Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, it was less than an hour away from where the iceberg once was.
After meeting with a returning tour guide, Parker said to Jiang Zuo with a not very good face.
If he can't reach his destination as planned, he will have to cut a lot of money he can get.
"It's okay, I'll just go over by myself."
Jiang Zuo patted Parker on the shoulder, gave the fee as agreed, bought a camel directly, gave an extra tip, and began to move forward alone.
It is naturally impossible to completely block a desert area, Jiang Zuo spent two hours, and after making a big circle, he approached from the side.
Deep into the equatorial desert, farther and farther away from the border of Kodoros, the ground temperature should have been getting higher and higher.
But the area around the giant iceberg is unusual.
Although the giant icebergs have disappeared, the temperature in the surrounding area is still not high, and the ground in these desert areas, which have been inaccessible for several years, is no longer gravelly, but has crystallized and hardened into hard ravines.
Taking out the binoculars, Jiang Zuo looked at the core area where the giant iceberg was once located.
The area was truly completely cordoned off, and men in all kinds of military uniforms patrolled around the turquoise tents with guns.
That's the army from several superpowers of the world, and ordinary people have been banned from entering.
However, Jiang Zuo had no intention of getting closer.
He circled around the edges, in and out of gravel ravines.
Half an hour later, in a ravine seven or eight meters deep, when Jiang Zuo knocked it with the pickaxe in his hand, the walls of the ravine were shattered like glass, revealing the entrance to a cave more than one person high.
"This guy is really weird!"
"Hahaha, it's not in vain that we stared at him!"
Jiang Zuo didn't expect that his every move was filmed by a drone in the sky more than 300 meters high.
This micro-drone equipped with a high-powered camera is completely impossible to detect without the use of instruments under the special camouflage coloring.
More than 2,000 meters away from Jiang Zuo, two men and a woman looked at the picture they had taken, and they were excited.
"Let's go! Let's catch up, if it's too late, maybe the benefits will be gone! ”
The three of them packed up their things and quickly chased after them.
Although the Chinese youth was lame and should not be able to walk too fast, they still couldn't wait to catch up.
This is a great opportunity for them to soar!
