When it comes to unknown supernatural powers, coupled with the question of the future fate of the Sea of Clouds, we must be cautious.

Not to mention the huge wealth left in the city, just that large pile of cut wood is a lot of income for the poor Yunhai. Yes, just one or two hundred thousand tons of wood is already very good, capable of smelting a large amount of steel and extracting a lot of chemical raw materials.

Therefore, many people are still reluctant to leave this continent so directly...... Who knows how long the Sea of Clouds will need to drift if this place is missed.

But without leaving, there is nothing humanity can do.

One of the old men in charge of logistics took the lead and said, "If this white mist is an S-class disaster for this planet, then the probability that we will live here for a long time is not very likely...... There is no doubt about that. ”

"We can't resist this kind of super disaster, and the current scientific and technological strength is unlikely to establish a completely closed ecosystem that can carry out internal air circulation."

"And there are too many similar super monsters on the continent, and the number of our thermal weapons is not enough. Unless it's ...... Rune bullets can be mass-produced, and that's when we have the power to fight a real battle. ”

Lu Yiming's face changed, he pressed the button, and said in the earphones: "Minister Fang, rune bullets, it is impossible to produce them in large quantities for a while and a half...... Even if we get an etching machine with good accuracy, it is still far from enough. ”

The Rune Bullet is an imaginary, supernatural weapon similar to the Rune Knife. That is, the cicada wing runes are carved on the bullet, so that the bullet can obtain extremely high hardness and supernatural penetration.

However, the carving of the knife is a flat surface, which is the simplest type, and even the knife has not been mass-produced so far, and there are only a few in the laboratory.

The bullet is a cylinder, and the cicada wings are carved on the cylinder, and the difficulty does not know how many orders of magnitude has risen.

It is also impossible for scientists to design the bullet as a flat body, because once the shape of the bullet does not conform to aerodynamics, the trajectory will be offset and it will be directly crooked. So for a while, it was impossible for such a bullet to be produced.

In this way, we discussed for a long time, but did not come up with a specific plan.

"Are we really going to give up this continent?" Ding Yuan took a deep breath and said.

He knows the importance of this continent to mankind.

Not to mention the heritage in the city, the mineral resources buried in the earth, even the garbage picked up these days, are very useful, and they fill the vacancy of the Yunhai very well.

An old man shook his head: "Mr. Ding, we still have to be cautious." Even if we fill in all the nuclear bombs, we will not be able to conquer this continent, this is certain. ”

"yes...... There are too many monsters, and it's no good to kill them, it's just a pile of rotten meat, this kind of thing, you can't do it! We have to retain our strength and find the next continent. ”

Before the old man's words fell, Professor Huang stood up and expressed his opinion: "Don't be too frustrated, I think we have to continue to observe for a while." We have many, many opportunities not to jump to conclusions. ”

"First, the information we have gathered in advance has not yet been completely cracked, and we should give the translation experts a little more time. As long as this civilized language is truly broken, we can get more effective information. ”

"Second, I think it's important to look at the mental state of the more than 300 comatose patients, and the biological variations that they have developed. How do we know that this mutation is bad? ”

"Could it be that this mutation ...... Is it good? One military expert couldn't help but retort: "Their bellies have all become big and round." ”

Professor Huang ignored his questioning: "Oh, and one more point, it's about the monster that was killed. Our biologists analyzed their DNA and found that most of them were similar to humans...... So we think it may have evolved from humans. ”

"If humans are allowed to eat food all the time, and devour the hearts of their own kind without exploding and dying, the mutation will be to the end, and it is likely to become this crazy and ugly monster."

Lu Yiming frowned, Professor Huang's words seemed to be a bit self-contradictory.

On the one hand, he argues that this mutation is not necessarily entirely bad; On the other hand, he said that in the end, the mutation will become such a terrifying monster.

Who wants to become this monster who has lost his sense of self, lost his intelligence, and only knows how to eat?!

Professor Huang seemed to ignore everyone's doubts and said to himself, "Okay, I know what everyone is suspicious...... Its scale armor is very thick, comparable to our strongest alloy armor, so the damage of ordinary rifle bullets is quite limited, and even the attack of the bazooka can only blow up a certain area. ”

"That's very good research material, right?"

"The most important thing is the hexagonal crystal core in the center, which seems to have some supernatural powers, capable of giving monsters the ability to regenerate and assimilate other people's hearts. However, it is clear that this heart core has been destroyed by the Rune Knife...... It's a very good source of energy, and if you use the heart core of a monster, you can make a super efficient battery, about the same as our nuclear battery. ”

"Lao Huang, what do you want to say?" Ding Yuan asked with a little dissatisfaction, "Just say the conclusion!" Why do you think this mutation isn't necessarily necessarily entirely bad? ”

"My idea is that this is a whole new approach to biotechnology. Think about it, from the scientific level, this kind of mutation perfectly solves the problem of rejection of different organs, and solves the regeneration of limbs to a certain extent, so that people with disabilities have the possibility of regeneration, and even can obtain a higher life expectancy...... In the past, we could only accomplish these things with the help of a few rare tricks. ”

"Even, this is a new superpower improvement system!"

"Mutation can bring more power, stronger flesh, as long as we find a way to control the degree of mutation and maintain the human state, isn't this a new system?"

"This method is not something I came up with out of thin air, but the wisdom and civilization here, a small number of records in the data!"

Hearing this, many people were stunned.

The more Professor Huang spoke, the more excited he became: "They have persevered in this fog for four or five years...... Under the constant fighting, they have figured out a new superpower system. Use the X element in the white mist to strengthen your own body, if there is no mutation, you can strengthen it as long as you eat a little more food, is it acceptable to everyone? ”

If you eat a little more, you can become stronger, and you can definitely accept it! It's so acceptable that you don't even have to think about it!

“…… Of course, in the later stage, as there were more and more such monsters and became more and more powerful, they also had to flee to the Yang River. But the human beings of this civilization are definitely intelligent and sensible, and they have groped for many new ways......"

"Some of the information that I have found has documented this, and I am not talking nonsense. And we haven't found any more information yet. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yiming also clenched his fists.

A new way to advance through superpowers!!

The news...... It's exciting!

If this is true, then the information left behind in this continent is too precious.

Precious to ...... No matter what the cost is, you have to get it to the extent that you get it.

Professor Huang took a deep breath: "Of course, our current translation materials have not been completely completed. It remains to be seen how this new research system will be and what its success rate will be. All in all, I think that we can't just give up when we come to this continent! We need more research! ”

"It's even very likely that [51 fo] will have to restart a second exploration mission."

Everyone was very interested in the discussion. If it's just some wood or machinery, then it's really not necessary, let the soldiers risk their lives to get it, but what if it means the future of the sea of clouds?

If what Lao Huang said is true, explore it for the second time...... It is indeed necessary!

"Then ...... Let's wait for the complete text decipherment plan. ”

After this meeting, Lu Yiming found Lao Huang through a video call, "Professor Huang, what you just said is true?" Are mutated creatures still able to maintain a sense of human self? Can the more than 300 people who were unconscious still be saved? ”

A biologist beside Professor Huang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Captain Lu, according to the research experiments of the mice, the principle of that white mist is like this: it will make people have a serious desire to eat and speed up the absorption of food by the human body. ”

"Where does the absorbed energy go? One part of the reserve is fat, and the other part will be converted into special crystals inside the body, which is actually a high-energy reserve substance. ”

"So far, these crystals have had a negative effect on the mental state of life, but these crystalline substances can also strengthen the human body. Essentially, it ...... It may be neutral, a product of human evolution. It's just that the speed of evolution is too fast and too violent, and the mutation is produced. ”

Lu Yiming frowned, and understood almost half of it: "If the evolution is successful, what will happen?" ”

"For example, those comatose people now, don't look at them have gained a lot of weight, but their physical fitness is a lot stronger. You used to run a kilometer and you were out of breath, but now you can run two or three kilometers in one go. Isn't it an evolution that the bench press used to be 100 kilograms, but now it can be 200 kilograms? ”

"Of course, the X element will have an impact on the mental state of the person, and once you eat, you can't stop, which is also the most troublesome point. In the end, the body really can't reserve so much energy, so it will simply spit out the core of the energy, the heart. The specific mechanism needs to be studied......"

"If we find a way to only retain the positive side and remove the unfavorable factors, it is equivalent to a way to improve the overall quality! Not to mention superpowers, at least, everyone's physical fitness can be greatly enhanced! If each of us has strengthened their physique, we will be able to survive in the Yang River more securely. ”

Lu Yiming said again: "Where are those precious research materials? We can't find it by such a coincidence, can we? ”

Professor Huang laughed self-deprecatingly and continued: "Yes, these messages are just a few words recorded in a certain book. The real research data has not been found. We're still just guessing what is going on, but it's a good idea......"

"Hey, every civilization that escapes to Yanghe is not a good stubble, and in despair, a large number of amazing and brilliant people will inevitably be born, and even a certain degree of supernatural power will be developed. Whether it is the parallel civilization recorded in the notebook, or the ancient civilization represented by the ancient sailing ship, or the civilization of the White Mist Continent, they have all mastered some superpowers......"

"A civilization like ours can only live by picking up garbage, who made our world break out in a physical disaster...... Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and we are well prepared enough, according to the current information, other civilizations do not retain such a large number of populations as we have, nor do they have as many thermal weapons as we have. ”

The earthlings are facing a physical disaster, and they have built a ship to escape in the first place, and there is really no way to draw some supernatural powers from it.

However, it is also a good thing that there are enough people to preserve, both in terms of research capabilities and thermal weapons. Don't look at the fact that the Yunhai has a population of less than 160,000, and there are more than 20 million people in similar shelters all over the country, not to mention all over the world, which adds up to a lot.

It's just that because of Yanghe's random teleportation mechanism, these shelters can't converge for the time being.

After discussing these, Lu Yiming remembered one more thing and asked again: "If we want to explore this continent for the second time, the rune knife is a necessary weapon, a large number of heavy weapons are inconvenient to carry, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as the rune knife." In terms of rune knife production capacity, how should it be handled? ”

"Also, what about the manpower selection for the second expedition? If that laboratory, thousands of kilometers from the mainland, how should it be reached? With such a big fog, can't you use a helicopter to walk through it? ”

To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Yiming didn't really want to go...... Having seen the terrifying combat power of those monsters, this is not a problem that can be solved by a small number of people.

He...... is also afraid of death.

Not only him, but also Liu Xuwei and Zhong Peng are afraid of death.

Professor Huang shook his head: "The rune knife is still far from being able to increase its production capacity, so I can only rely on you to work hard, and you can make a few as many as you can, hey." ”

"As for exploring manpower...... Hey, think again. ”

"If the relevant laboratories really go thousands of kilometers deep into the continent...... Maybe we'll have to give up. Hopefully it's a little closer to the coastline, the closer the better. ”

Lao Huang sighed in his heart, he also knew that it was no longer the era of dedication and sacrifice.

Although the people in the Sea of Clouds are more able to endure hardships after experiencing the apocalyptic disaster. But everyone has experienced the baptism of the Internet information age, and there are very few people who are really willing to dedicate themselves......

A task with a mortality rate of up to 90%, or even 90%, is really rare that few people are willing to do.

……

Time passed slowly, and the translation work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

And the study of the dissection of the monster corpse and the white mist is also being carried out in an orderly manner...... The strange nature of element X is enough for biologists to study for a long, long time.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the second week that the expedition had withdrawn to the base camp, the white fog had not dissipated, and the Yunhai had been on high alert. Lu Yiming has been busy making rune knives. Using the penetration of the rune knife, it is possible to kill the monster in an instant if it really pierces the heart core, so it is necessary to be as fully prepared as possible.

For ordinary people, life is more or less the same as usual, except that the military control has not been lifted, everything else is the same as before, how it should be. …… At best, it's just a reduction in the number of times you go on deck.

They also heard about the accident that happened on the first expedition, and they were also very concerned about when the more than 300 unfortunate people would be able to truly recover.

Kwok was the first survivor to wake up from a coma.

He opened his eyes a little dazedly, and the sunlight by the window was shining in, warm.

My head is still a little foggy, groggy, and I can't remember anything.

"Hmm...... I'm so hungry! Why are you so hungry! I want to eat! ”

But he soon found that his arms were thickened, and he looked at the fat on his stomach, and then touched his fat face, and couldn't help but feel sad......

"Who the is this?! I'm not going to cross over to a fat man! ”

Guo Weiqiang thought wildly in his head and looked in the mirror.

"Hey, Guo Weiqiang...... Can you still talk? Do you know yourself? Is the brain conscious? Do you know me? Not long after, several medical staff rushed over, and after Lu Yiming got the news, he also followed behind these doctors.

Guo Weiqiang, as a soldier under his command, has just woken up from a coma, so he still has to pay a visit.

"Marine...... Yes...... Yes. What's wrong with me? Why did you get fat? Guo Weiqiang hurriedly asked, he stood up from the hospital bed, and suddenly felt so tall.

He used to be 1.8 meters tall, but now he has risen to 2 meters, and the belly on his belly is even more pregnant.

"This, this, this...... What's going on? ”

Seeing that his mental state was quite normal, everyone was a little relieved.

Lu Yiming scolded angrily: "Nonsense, can you not get fat after eating so many things at one time?" At that time, you were told to eat less, and you were crazy about eating so much! Why can't you help it? It's good not to die. ”

"Physical and psychological tests first!"

"Oh...... I'm still a little hungry. Guo Weiqiang also recalled the story that happened that day.

"Hold back my hunger. If you eat it again, you will die. ”

After some examination, Guo Weiqiang's physical condition is simply stronger than he imagined, he has become a very flexible fat man, and he can run for eight minutes at 3,000 meters!

Do 50 pull-ups at once without panting!

This shows that his physical fitness has indeed not declined, but has risen a lot.

"3 km 8 minutes...... You didn't seem to be that good before, did you? It's athlete level! Lu Yiming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he remembered some of Professor Huang's remarks.

x-element ...... This is indeed an evolution!

A rapid evolution at the level of physical fitness.

Anyway, Lu Yiming himself, 3,000 meters can't run for 8 minutes, this result is really good, and the world record is only 7 minutes and 20 seconds. Even in the entire army of the Sea of Clouds, there are only a few superhuman superpowers who can do this.

"I don't know! It feels so relaxed, haha, and I'm so tall now, will my mom be scared when she sees me? Guo Weiqiang stood there and smirked.

This is still the result of the fact that he has just come out of the hospital bed, and if he recovers a little and trains for a while, he may be able to run faster.

It is even possible to PK with Shi Dayong.

The thought of breaking the world record made me feel optimistic.

Of course, the side effects of this evolution are significant...... His overeating is difficult to correct all at once, and once he starts eating, he can't stop at all, and there is even a probability that he will have an aggressive tendency to protect his food. The brain loses its mind when it eats, and the more it eats, the more it eats.

This is no longer a simple psychological problem, but also has a certain degree of physiological nature.

"I'm hungry...... I'm really hungry! I feel very hungry all day long. If you want to eat eggs, noodles and rice, beef and pork, you can also eat them. ”

"Eat you, hungry!"

But as long as you eat too much, the number of crystals around the heart will also increase rapidly. In the end, he still has a certain probability that he can't reserve so much energy and spit out his heart.

If a person loses his heart, he will naturally not be able to survive.
