When the sun goes down, the gray-green aurora once again mixes with the white moonlight and spills down on the messy parking lot. Zeng Tianqi and Marin lit several oil drums around the supermarket, and the sand cotton mixed with gasoline ignited a raging fire, reflecting their faces red. Zeng Tianqi lifted the simple homemade crossbow in his hand, silently looked at the shadows that were bright and dark, and was vigilant.

Marlin was adding some incendiary material to the oil drum. The two fell silent one after another.

Ma Lin took out a pack of "Yundong Building" from the supermarket shelf and shot out two, handed it to Zeng Tianqi, Zeng Tianqi took it with his left hand, Ma Lin took out another one, took out a wooden block from the side of the oil drum and lit it, and then lit the two cigarettes. As the smoke rose, Marin took a deep breath. glanced at Zeng Tianqi's right hand, and then said to himself as if to the shadow in the distance: "At the beginning, when we received a large number of radiation protection coats in the last batch of supplies, the reaction of the royal courtyard made me feel very strange. He seemed to know everything, until he immediately shifted the two most stable sets of test subjects and disappeared, and I had a premonition that something serious was going to happen. Because of these strange conditions, our ground instruments accidentally detected anomalies in atmospheric radiation, so I collected atmospheric radiation and conducted clinical experiments on animals and plants. I discovered a terrible fact, the concentration of a certain radiation in the atmosphere half a month ago, has reached hundreds of times the normal value, which is what you call X gamma. This gamma is different from nuclear or neutron radiation, no, strictly speaking, more inclined to neutron radiation, with a very strong penetrating power. However, it does not break down the gene chain structure at the atomic level, as is the case with neutron radiation. Rather more inclined to nucleon radiation at the molecular level of cells. ”

"This discovery was a coveted catalyst for my research. I've tried to observe animals in the lab for 72 hours at different times. More than 80% of the animal subjects, from mice to large canine felines, from cold-blooded lizards to birds, and even apes, have undergone drastic body mutations, becoming extremely aggressive and gradually dying, and at first I thought it was a genetic collapse caused by excessive radiation. As I observed and dissected the dead subject, I realized how wrong I was. The radiation did not cause any genetic breakdown at all. Instead, it randomly unravels a large number of disordered genes and sleeping genes buried in genes. The awakening of a large number of disordered genes leads to rapid division and changes in cells. In the end, I discovered the terrible fact that the vast majority of subjects die for only one reason – the depletion of cellular nutrients and energy. That is, they died of starvation at the cellular level. As a result, I have strengthened nutrient delivery to the remaining subjects. And then you get some patchwork of individuals. For example, the individual rat suddenly and rapidly developed to the size of a canine, but it has derived countless reptile limbs, or feathers, and some even have gills and tentacles. Even some coelenterate features are included. This batch of test subjects also died. The cause of death is due to the chaotic evolution that has caused the body to collapse and they are almost unable to eat and reproduce. ”

"After 72 hours of elimination... 80% of subjects died. Then the focus of my research shifted to the remaining 20% of individuals who didn't seem to have changed in any way. Marlin took a puff of his cigarette, "Among these animal individuals, I found that the vast majority of individuals, cells are constantly excreting genetic garbage that has been destroyed by pollution. And most of the energy expended is used for the cells to constantly restore themselves and repair. This is the reason why they maintain their normal physiological state even when exposed to such intense radiation. I became very interested in this mechanism of self-reduction of cells, but unfortunately the ensuing riot of clinical human subjects forced me to stop further exploration. Zeng Zhengdong's chest is gradually rising and falling. It seems that a lot of emotions are suppressed. "That's pretty much. It's just a little bit. You know what? X Gamma is like a magnifying glass, magnifying the code of the evolution of species on this planet and interpreting it to me. It's all there. Let me peep and study ... Ahem, ahem! ”

Zeng Tianqi was still expressionless, and when he heard the cough, his brows furrowed. Turning his head to look at Marin.

Marin was in a very bad state now, his face was pale, and under the tightly wrapped coat, Zeng Tianqi saw some pustules-like things in the cracks.

"You?" Zeng Tianqi asked.

Marlin waved his hand and took another sharp breath. "I know. The penetrating power of neutron radiation, coupled with the contamination of nuclear radiation. It's just a set of protective clothing, how can I block it, I've already run out of X-adg potions. It's a pity that there is a little more time... You make me very curious, maybe that kid and Su Xiaoyu will be the twenty percent. But you ... You're different. You've mutated. Mutants will stimulate the primitive instinct in their genes, and there will hardly be such a thing as "thinking" except for hunting and eating. That berserk gene. There is no kind of brain electrical current that can be constrained. I don't know why the radiation contamination is spreading in the lab, and by the time we found out, it was too late. All people will eventually become that terrible creature. Ahem. Marin's feverish eyes shone brightly. However, your changes are undoubtedly a genetic rampage, but why can you stabilize again? You know what? Solving the mystery ... People all over the country. No, no, no. Humanity. will all embark on a path of ultimate evolution ... Ahem, ahem... Burst... "Marlin was already very unsteady and began to cough up blood. In his pale face, he revealed great regret. He suddenly lifted his coat. You can see that on his toad-like skin, there are bulging pustules that are enlarged. Something like a tumor began to grow on his back. He's already starting to mutate. I don't know if it was due to pain or if consciousness was starting to blur, but his voice began to growl irregularly. A bloodthirsty glint began to appear in his eyes. Zeng Tianqi raised his left hand and quickly knocked on the back of Ma Lin's neck, and Ma Lin, who was hit the back of the neck, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Zeng Tianqi held Ma Lin up, untied a small bag on the belt around his waist, and took out a bottle of turquoise liquid - Zeng Tianqi secretly slurred and filtered out the leaves of the big tree, Zeng Tianqi once saw the vision of the big tree in a coma. He believed that the mutation and stability of his body must be indescribably related to the tree.

This time, it was also a preliminary experiment with Marin, and he couldn't come to a conclusion as precise as Marin, but he had his own intuition. Moreover, Marin's persistence actually changed his defense. He believes that in the future, he needs such a person to explore those ideas that he is not sure of.

He fed the sap to Marlin, and then added a portion of gasoline to the surrounding oil drums. Carrying Marin into the supermarket and putting it at the counter.

At this time, Zeng Tianqi looked at Su Xiaoyu and the others not far away in surprise. I saw that a faint blood mist also rose on the two of them. Zeng Tianqi hurriedly went over to check, and found that the body temperature of the two was terrifying, and a faint blood mist was constantly steaming out of the two of them. At this time, the abrasions on Bazhuo's face from the impact healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Su Xiaoyu was even more exaggerated, and he could even hear the click of the broken bones growing in his body.

"With. . . Cool down with water, you did the same before! Ma Lin woke up, leaned on Zeng Tianqi's back and said weakly.

Zeng Tianqi immediately returned to the restaurant behind the storage room, filled the water in the sink with bottled water, and put Su Xiaoyu in. The blood mist was no longer steaming, and Su Xiaoyu's body temperature dropped rapidly.

Her body was undergoing an astonishing change, first the scabs on her arms and face were falling off, and then a hideous wound under her ribs was getting smaller and thinner, and gradually scabbed off. The wound grows new skin that is snow-white and crystalline. As for Bazhuo, his condition seemed to be much milder, and after a while, his body temperature gradually decreased.

Su Xiaoyu woke up first, and the injury that almost killed her healed almost overnight, and she was surprised to check for a long time after healing. She gulped down the water and looked at Zeng Tianqi. "Brother Zeng, this is ???"

Zeng Tianqi patted her on the shoulder, "We already have no tasks and missions in our bodies, so there is no need to work so hard in the future." ”

"En" Su Xiaoyu responded, the situation at that time, Zeng Tianqi was not in a coma, and he was not too clear. Su Xiaoyu told the situation at that time.

"Let's go see Bazhuo." Zeng Tianqi admired this brave child very much, and from the realization of fleeing together, Ba Zhuo showed innocence. It's the kind that is all-natural and doesn't have any impurities. This is a very precious thing, but in the current world, I am afraid that this kind of simplicity will be the most lethal character.

Bazhuo's reaction was much lighter, and a few wisps of blood mist visible to the naked eye on his body drifted slightly. The chest rises and falls normally, and it looks like the sternum fracture has healed. It doesn't seem like it will take much time to get better.

Su Xiaoyu opened Ba Zhuo's wound and re-wrapped it, saying, "Brother Zeng, Xiao Ba Zhuo is recovering well, if it should be another 24 hours at most, it is estimated that it will be healed." Su Xiaoyu said while refixing Ba Zhuo's arm, "But Brother Zeng, I don't understand. First you, then me and Badjo. After saying that, she looked at Marin, who was unconscious next to her.

Zeng Tianqi did not answer Su Xiaoyu, but walked outside and refilled the gasoline barrel outside. Su Xiaoyu also walked out. Zeng Tianqi briefly retold the story of Marin's mutation and their conversation to Su Xiaoyu.

"It seems that after going to the Plateau Research Institute, we will go back to the valley of the big trees," Zeng Tianqi said, looking at the raging flames in the oil barrel.

Su Xiaoyu was a little shocked in her heart. If she understands correctly. Their entanglement with the Great Bodhi Tree and the edible juice saved them by accident. Otherwise, they'll be just like the crazy corpses out there. Su Xiaoyu looked at Ma Lin, who was now gradually calming down. Suddenly she remembered something. He took out the dagger and cut a wound in the palm of his hand. The blood came out instantly, but it just came out for a while, and then I felt the wound in my palm start to itch. After a while, when she wiped the blood from the wound, there was an intact palm underneath, only a white mark on the palm of the palm, indicating the location of the wound. Rapid healing! Su Xiaoyu pulled out the white mark with a dagger again, there was no trace of cutting at all, and the white one was as if he was born there.

"Brother, look, the wound is gone. Now the injury is healed in the blink of an eye. It's not awesome! Su Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to share with Zeng Tianqi what he could heal quickly.

"Well, that's quite a powerful ability." Zeng Tianqi held up the white wound that looked at Su Xiaoyu, "Don't cut yourself in the future, doesn't it hurt?" Zeng Tianqi touched Su Xiaoyu's head.

"In the future, I don't have to worry about getting hurt and leaving scars and turning ugly." Su Xiaoyu finally came to such a conclusion. In fact, Su Xiaoyu himself didn't realize that in the future, the rapid healing was so strong that it was desperate, and the title of "Immortal Girl" in the future generations was unbeatable.

Two days later. Badro and Marin woke up one after the other. Although after testing, Ba Zhuo's physical fitness has improved a lot, but even if Su Xiaoyu deliberately observed, he did not find that Ba Zhuo had any abilities like him and Zeng Tianqi. It was Marin, who began to study himself with great interest for the rest of his life, and more than once strongly asked Zeng Tianqi to take him to the valley of the huge Bodhi tree. After Marin's own repeated attempts, he finally found a change in himself. He can hold his breath in the water for a long, long time... This made him depressed for a while, and he was ridiculed by Bazhuo that he was not afraid of drowning in the future.

And Zeng Tianqi also seemed to be infected by the emotions of a group of people who came back to life, and he also showed a little smile for the first time. The fold surprised Su Xiaoyu, in his impression, Zeng Tianqi seemed to always be a paralyzed face.

After several days of rough burning, it seems that the oil stored at the gas station is almost at the bottom. A few people didn't dare to delay, packed up the supplies of food and water, and changed their clothes again, especially Su Xiaoyu's bulletproof inner armor and casual mountaineering clothes were torn before, she re-selected a set of clothes, thin-legged jeans with a cotton vest, and a denim jacket on the outside, tied with a ponytail, thick leather flat shoes, and a holster with a "Plata" gun on his legs, and a holster with a dagger hidden in the cuffs, slender and wild. And Zeng Tianqi also re-selected a motorcycle jacket with big scalp shoes. Marin discarded the tattered radiation jacket and put on a T-shirt with casual sports pants.

All the cars that ran aground on the highway were unusable, and they were burned by the first wave of electromagnetic pulses, and some even started fires, burning the cars into ugly iron frames, and finally they found a Dong-made "Shanlan" off-road vehicle in the garage of the gas station. Hold a tourist map for sale in the service area. Groping in the direction of the Plateau Research Institute.
