It's cold! Even though I was so frightened, I still felt cold. I had been prepared before, and I was wearing warm clothes with vacuum granules, but the cold still penetrated unabashedly, and my heart was almost paralyzed.

The biochemical laboratory just can't be underestimated, where did Xiang Ci get all this liquid nitrogen? I complained in my heart, and the lights swept everywhere.

There was not much change, only some of the equipment was damaged, the things on the workbench were gone, and the incubator was crooked on the floor.

I'm sure the first thing I saw when I came in was the door that I could get out of. It's already cold like Antarctica, and there's no reason why that thing can grow like that in such an extremely cold environment. So I suspect it came out of that door, maybe we accidentally touched something. But there was no change over there, there was still a line of footprints coming out of the door, Xiaohua didn't care much about the black monster, but kept looking at the footprints left by the suspected flower canal, the mask reflected and couldn't see the expression clearly, it would be a little weird to think about it.

Silently, a black face stretched out of the passage, behind it was a long neck and a horse-like body, I never imagined such a creature existing, although the body was very much like a quadruped, but from the structure of the limbs it was obvious that it had freed its hands, but for some reason, the long arms were still propped up on the ground, and it looked like it was carrying something heavy, which was weird.

But his face resembles a human, only longer, with a pointed chin, a handful of beard-like hair, and a thin face that resembles that of an Egyptian. I know it's ridiculous to think of monsters on the human race, but I just can't control my thoughts. Because it's so similar.

Actually, I don't see the threat this thing poses to us, it's not very fast, it doesn't have sharp claws, the only thing that scares is its terrifying appearance and inexplicable origin.

"Brother An, what do you want to do with this thing?" Liu Dongxi looked at the body of this thing dragging more than a meter long, and the posture was strange and turned towards us, and he felt a little nervous.

"How do I know? Looks like I'm not here to shake hands! "I aimed the gun at it again, and it still had a white ice stain on its nose.

Liu Shiwu seemed to smile or something, but he didn't speak anyway. I wondered in my heart what to do, I must have no communication with him for such a thing**, but if people don't do it, it's not good for me to rush to kill them all, can I say that I can only show the superiority of my great human beings by giving a shot when I see anything?

"Brother An, I think this thing is a little familiar...... Liu Dongxi said......

"Familiar? Are you neighbors? "I thought to myself, is this guy here to be funny? I thought of a movie again.

"It's really familiar, do you remember the ancestral hall on my tree? The pillar outside ......" Liu hinted.

I thought about it for a long time before I understood what Liu Dongxi was talking about, and the pillars made of countless strange beasts outside the tall ancestral hall gradually became vivid in my mind.

I didn't feel anything before, I just thought that these designs were very mysterious and infectious. But after listening to Lu Yan's story, I will naturally consider all these similar things, whether it is this pillar, that Danding, or the sculpture of the hundred beasts coming to the court in the golden altar, the images in it, even the order, are exactly the same, and the top is all humans. This is simply like the evolutionary map of human beings, prosperity and decay again and again, evolution again and again, and there is also the figure of this monster in front of you!

"Liu thing, this is your ancestor!" I sighed.

"Your ancestor!" Liu is annoyed, but seeing that this thing is not very aggressive, we all seem to have relaxed our vigilance.

At this time, Lu Yan's voice came from the earphones, "Be careful! ”

I was startled, and the spray gun in my hand naturally fired, and a white line of low-temperature high-pressure nitrogen shot at the monster, and Liu Shixi also fired, and a shuttle of bullets hit it, directly blasting it out.

"Let's go!" Lu Yan's voice sounded again.

Of course you have to go! It was only after the thing was blown away that I saw a dozen black things the size of ping-pong balls fall from it, and they were immediately hit on the ground by the extremely low temperature, but they quickly developed long legs, ripped off the sticky layer on the ground and ran towards us. In the distance, the thing struggled again, and did not make any sound, but a lot of ping-pong balls fell out of some organ in the abdomen.

My scalp was numb, and the spray gun in my hand was shooting at the ground so hard that I almost froze my feet on the ground.

The little things on the ground don't seem to be particularly afraid of this low temperature, although the surface of the body has become pale but it has not lost its vitality, but the long feet are frozen on the ground from time to time, and the movement is not very neat.

The monsters over there seem to have slowed down and started running towards us. At this time, Liu Shi, who was running in the front, had already gotten into the passage, and I took off the liquid nitrogen cylinder behind me and threw it into the monster's arms, fired a shot, turned around and ran.

Boom! The cylinder exploded in the monster's arms, and a few pieces even smashed into my side. I looked back as I entered the passage, and the monster froze on the spot, its whole body had turned dark blue, and some ice of different colors was running down its body.

The door closed again, and we retreated, the stainless steel tube falling inside. I feel like we're here to deliver the insulated box, and we didn't get anything at all, just folded the equipment.

Fortunately, this thing is not very aggressive, and I don't know if the low temperature limits his ability. I still feel a little unbelievable when I think of this, I was able to control its growth at more than ten degrees below zero before, why is it alive at such a low temperature at this time?

Liu Shifu gasped as if he knew my thoughts: "Brother An, take a look, let me tell you, you just don't believe it, what does it mean that things must be opposed?" ”

I really didn't remember what he told me, but I was annoyed and muttered in my heart, is it really the opposite of things?

"Let's talk about it later!" I waved my hand and called Xiang Ci to get him ready to disinfect something.

We took off our protective suits. Xiang Ci's face was not good-looking, but he didn't say anything, just asked about the situation inside.

She didn't know what was going on inside, so I said it simply, and Xiang Ci listened to me, and her face changed color, "That sample has become a mature individual?" ”

I nodded, "I don't know if it's mature or not, but it's not small, and it looks very powerful, I think if it's at room temperature, we may not be able to come back!" "I'm telling the truth, I wondered how fierce this thing looked in the hut, but it became sluggish when I got back, and I thought it was the temperature.

"It's not cold enough inside?" Xiang Ci said to himself.

"Low enough, if it's low, it's the moon!" I said that although I wore very professional cold-proof clothing and biochemical clothing, I still feel cold on my body.

"What's going on?"

Gege suddenly interjected, "I have some ideas, do you want to hear it?" ”

Xiang Ci and I looked at her at the same time, "You say! ”

"I think the reason why this is happening is because this creature has been growing for a while in the first place!" Gege Dao.

I didn't understand at all, and looked at her waiting for an explanation.

"Yes, you see, our cells can theoretically only withstand temperatures above freezing, and once they reach freezing, the water inside the cells will freeze, swelling, destroying the structure, and causing cell death." Gege Dao.

I looked at her a little strangely, and I always felt that it was more appropriate to say this to Ci or Wang Shanqi.

"But we can move in sub-zero temperatures, even without clothes, but why is that? Because our bodies can regulate our body temperature......," Gege said.

"You're saying that those cells prioritize the growth of a system that regulates body temperature when the temperature is right, and then they can continue to grow in a cold environment?" Xiang Ci asked.

Gege nodded.

I asked curiously, "Who taught you this?" ”

Gege glared at me, "Sister has seen it, is it okay?" ”

"You've been here?" When I asked, I realized that everyone was looking at me, and I felt idiotic when I thought about it.

"Isn't that a normal thing? Before the seed leaves the fruit, it is prepared for germination, and before the nutrients are exhausted, it will prioritize the growth of roots to ensure future growth. After implantation, the fertilized egg will use a little nutrient in the yolk sac to quickly grow out of the blood circulation system and establish contact with the mother. It's hard to understand," Gege looked at me puzzled.

"It's normal, it's just that you're talking about egg cells, and the purpose is to grow into a new individual, I just didn't expect this kind of cell to be so adaptable......" I sighed.

"So we have to get the sample, and only then can we succeed." A kind of eagerness appeared on Xiang Ci's face.

"How can it be that easy?" I sighed, "Now I just hope this thing doesn't run out of there, taking samples is secondary." ”

At this point, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of fear, "The vent is open, that thing won't run out!" ”

"The vents are always open, why is the temperature still constant?" Gege asked suddenly.

I didn't speak, thinking about the question. Gege is right, if there is air leaking everywhere, it is impossible to keep the temperature constant accurately.

"It's not impossible to have an external temperature monitoring device, but I'm not sure if there will be such a device at that time." Xiang Ci thought about it and said.

"Could it be that the trigger condition for that thing needs more than just temperature?" I asked, and I had the feeling that I could say anything.

"It's also possible......," Xiang Ci thought for a moment, "Let's not talk about this for a while, I think we can try the fire?" ”
