Chapter 59 Species

At 1:34 p.m., the first group of people returned the information and found the stone door of the Chiyou tomb.

At the same time, news also came from the command center, and some additions were made to Adam's details. The information should come from the high-level spies lurking inside the Gate of Truth, but their level of secrecy is not as high as that of the previous victim, but it can also give everyone a deeper understanding of the enemy they will face.

Named the "Species" by the people of the Gate of Truth, Adam is a highly intelligent creature that existed 15 million years ago. But the Gate of Truth did not acquire a living body, but only a stump. Research on the stump has been going on for nearly 20 years — previously kept in strict secrecy among the top insiders, and this time it took three insider sacrifices to get some of the relevant information.

However, this information is also far from getting to the core.

It is speculated that in his heyday, Adam's strength should have far surpassed that of the known A-class kings in the Anthropocene realm, because he had no experience in fighting living beings, so it was unclear where the upper limit of his strength was.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of the species is that it is very difficult to take fatal damage and is extremely difficult to completely eradicate. However, the Executive's team is equipped with bio-stamina field restraints that can be used to contain it, as has been proven at the Northern Base.

The operational briefing was only a little more than 200 words, but it was enough to make them more cautious.

The space outside the stone door of the burial chamber is wider than the previous node space, and there are obvious traces of artificial carving here. The walls of the cave on all sides were marked with knives and axes, and even a stone axe appeared on the ground.

This stone tool from thousands of years ago is extremely valuable, but none of the people present are of much interest to it.

Because something even more incredible was on that stone door.

The stone gate appears to be made of a single monolith, with a different surface concave and convex, but clearly artemising. Just above the stone gate. About three meters high, there is a line of text.

The significance of the characters was unclear to anyone present, and no one in the team was able to identify the images after they were transmitted back to the command center via camera. The strokes of those characters are sharp and concise, wedge-shaped, as if someone had carved them into the surface of the stone with sharp nails.

Humans naturally can't do that, which means ...... It's the work of the species.

The text of the species.

Li Zhen looked up in awe, and then let out a slight breath.

Does this mean that they once had their own civilization? A civilization that existed at least 15 million years ago? At that time, the ancestor of humans, Australopithecus, still had 10 million years to appear.

At that time...... It is the mammals that gradually flourish. And the period of complete domination of the earth is the period when the face of the world of the present day is gradually solidified. Countless old species have been wiped out, and countless new species have emerged...... And did the species exist at such a time?

And have your own text?

How could such a powerful group of higher intelligence die out? They weren't the poorly adapted species of dinosaurs, nor were they ignorant species that only knew how to feed and reproduce—they were intelligent. And they are "extremely difficult to be completely eliminated"!

Just when he was feeling emotional, the detection work had been completed.

There is a high-energy reaction behind the stone door, which represents that the red dot of Adam is 223 meters away from this door. It seemed to stop where it was, uninterested in what was happening on this side of the stone gate.

There was a new scratch on the edge of the stone door, presumably Adam's doing—it lifted it with great force, and then walked into the tomb. However, the executives did not have this great power and had to resort to a more brutal method: cutting.

The two sides are so close that there is basically no need to consider the possibility of "catching the grass and catching the snake."

Two minutes later, the heavy stone slab collapsed with a bang. The aiming lasers of the automatic weapons are connected together. Through the dust and mist, it shot straight ahead, and a huge figure appeared in the darkness.

Species, Adam.

It had completely changed its form, and was no longer a skeleton. It has thick hairs growing between its horns that seem to stretch all the way down its spine. It fell to the ground like a long tail. The hair was thick and dark, like a flexible steel wire. The rest of its body was covered in bronze scales, each the size of a child's palm, with slightly upturned edges. It's like the armor of an ancient general.

The hideous, sharp bone spurs became thicker at this time, and they shone with blood in the red laser light, as if the owner of this body had just returned from the abyss and hell.

It stood in the middle of the darkness, behind it a stone wall that towered into the depths of infinite darkness.

Just as the muzzle of someone's gun moved up and pointed it in its face, the primeval creature opened its eyes.

It was a pair of dark eyes with no whites. When the laser shone on the black eyes, the eyes suddenly turned blood-red. Then a dark yellow slit opened in the middle of the blood-red eyeball, and the gap quickly expanded, causing the eyes to turn orange. But two red, pupil-like dots appeared again in the middle of the orange eyeball.

They gradually become elongated and eventually stop in the middle of the eyeball.

On the orange eyeballs, blood-colored eyes appeared. It's like a demonic gaze.

The executives confronted Adam like this for more than ten seconds, and the sound of breathing was clearly audible. But the other party only opened his eyes - just stared at the intruder in front of him with inexplicable meaning, and his thick and slender arms hung quietly at his side, like a bronze sculpture.

Only the two pupils, the pupils that occasionally contracted slightly under the stimulation of the laser, proved that they were alive.

So some people began to cautiously put down their equipment. While closely observing Adam's movements, he lightly tried to assemble them.

But Adam stared indifferently at everything in front of him, and didn't seem to take into account what those people were doing.

It's just looking.

And Li Zhen clearly knew what it was looking at.

He tried to move slightly to the left, and Adam's pupils moved to the left. However, no one noticed this - because half of the people were carefully setting up their equipment in front of it.

Portable weapon platforms, bioforce field restraints, lighting equipment...... They were taking shape right before Adam's eyes and building an offensive front armed with advanced human technology, but it still didn't react.

It doesn't seem to care.

And Li really knows that it really doesn't care.

Because he felt the emotions of the other person. Somehow they resonated again.

It wasn't the same furious resonance as the previous two times—he didn't feel an explosive change in his strength. This resonance is like some kind of spiritual connection. He seems to be able to share the emotions of the other – to experience both emotions at the same time while maintaining an independent consciousness. It felt strange and strange, and it made him lose his mind slightly.

Then there is deep worry.

The other party is holding the restlessness in his heart. It's like a villain who has been imprisoned for thousands of years and sees his old enemy again. It wants to wait for the other to be at its best and in the best possible condition, and then it will easily destroy it with a smile. It seems to want to test its strength, to show off its strength - and this emotion does not match its hideous appearance.

Li Zhen pursed his lips and felt that his lips were a little dry.

The equipment that had been erected began to work, and the entire interior of the tomb gradually became brighter. Although the light was not enough to illuminate the entire area, they finally got a general idea of their surroundings.

It's a deep well-like space. The stone walls around the oval field are towering, and it is not known how high the road is. Only the stone wall behind Adam was slightly more special—it sloped further back, with a rudimentary staircase nearly a meter high that stretched into the darkness.

Li Zhen frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

In fact, he felt this way when he saw the inscription on the stone door, but the idea was vague and he could not form an intuitive impression.

What's wrong...... Where exactly?

But someone slapped him the back: "Scared? ”

The voice interrupted his train of thought. When he looked back, it was Du Qixi. The latter, who also held a longbow Z18 in his hand, glanced at him: "I remember that the information said that you didn't want to die in a battle - am I mistaken?" ”

Li Zhen didn't know why he would say such a thing at such a time, but it was clearly not a friendly greeting. Perhaps it was the high level of nervousness and Hu Yanling's previous attitude that made his emotions a little out of control...... However, he didn't plan to dwell too much on the other party at this time.

So he tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Hmm." A little nervous. ”

This kind of answer with a hint of weakness was beyond Du Qixi's expectations. He was slightly stunned, snorted, turned to the side, and loaded the longbow on the automatic weapon platform with a series of auxiliary equipment.

Hu Yanling pulled him beside him: "Hide down, wait for instructions." ”

In front of them, a cover more than a man tall had been constructed out of unusually strong light alloy plates and various equipment platforms. This was a surprise to everyone—no one expected Adam to give them so much time to prepare. Of course, there is speculation that this primeval creature is "fearless", but it is also believed that it is because it has not seen the immense power of modern weapons.

Information and images from the scene have been transmitted back to the command center, and they are on standby.

However, Li Zhen felt more and more panicked in his heart. Because the emotions felt from Adam have changed again - the other party seems to be calling himself.

It's not through specific voices or body language, it's just emotional communication. The loneliness and intimacy of the first meeting resurfaced in my heart, as if the other party had a strong desire to leave the gun in his hand and walk over and fight side by side with it. Li Zhen looked up blankly, and felt his hands tremble a little.

That seems to be the ...... A call of the kind. (To be continued.) )
