Chapter 56: The Teasing of Fate
At this time, Bai Chang's face had long since lost his calmness, after all, in front of nature, people seemed a little weak after all. With a little caution in his eyes, he pressed tightly to the ground. The ensuing surface fluctuations caused the thin mud in the mud pit to vibrate violently, and the splashed mud spots directly wrapped Bai Chang's body.
At this time, it is somewhat embarrassing, but the current situation is not the time to pay attention to this. Bai Chang wiped his face vigorously, barely revealing a pair of eyes, observing the surroundings more vigilantly, and at the same time slowly radiating his spiritual power.
The violent shaking was obviously not over yet, and the constant sound of trees cracking around him also made him understand that his current situation seemed a little unsafe. Just thinking about this, the strong wind in the back of his head made his heart tighten. Almost instinctively, Bai Chang hugged his backpack tightly and rolled directly to a puddle on the right.
"Click~~"
The branch, the thickness of his arm, just stuck to Bai Chang's heel and smashed straight into the place where he was originally lying. The muddy water splashed in an instant, pouring Bai Chang with his back facing the sky.
"The raincoat is still early, ahem."
Talking to himself and choking on some muddy water, Bai Chang closed his mouth directly. Barely half-squatting in the puddle to stabilize his figure, Bai Chang twisted his neck uncomfortably. After all, the cold muddy water with a bit of friction in the arms makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the shaking on the ground was gradually subsiding, and it was estimated that in the early two minutes, Bai Chang stood up directly. On the thin layer of water in the puddle, I barely cleaned myself up. I looked at my whole body, and it was spotted, obviously not as clean and tidy as before.
Bai Chang grinned and patted his face, regaining some elasticity to his somewhat stiff cheeks. Quietly looking at the place where there was a little purple fluorescence, and after only two or three seconds, Bai Chang grinned and forced himself to smile. Like a mountaineer, he silently packed his bags and continued to move towards the destination, slowly leaning over.....
The first thing that will change in the signs of the coming end times is the earth itself. The unknown changes have caused the earth to emit an energy factor that is very similar to the composition of meteorites, which is also the reason why animals and plants began to mutate. The variables produced by this change itself, as a whole, have not had an excessive impact on human society.
This energy change, similar to that of the immune system, was later called the "antibody response" by humans. As for the reasons for this reaction, there are two views that have been debated in later generations:
The self-helpers, who call the energy factor produced by the earth itself the "self-help factor", believe that it is an imminent alien invasion that makes the earth itself feel in crisis, so they give birth to this antibody-like energy factor to accelerate the evolution of the species and resist the invasion of the alien race.
The strong evidence for this argument lies in the mutation of various organisms, the good adaptability that arose, and the subsequent emergence of intelligent races.
On the other hand, this is a "detoxification act" that the earth has to be forced to produce. In order to reduce the influence of human beings on themselves, through the evolution of other organisms, human beings have intervened and even eliminated human beings themselves.
And the strong evidence for this argument lies in the fact that the enhanced version of the "evolutionary virus" has a huge destructive effect on humans, as well as the energy factors produced by the earth itself, trying to avoid human populations and evolve other organisms in large numbers.
However, the ensuing fall made all the discussion meaningless. In the process of the fall, a magical energy substance contained in all the meteorites that descended became the ultimate goal of all kinds of intelligent populations - energy plunder.
An evolutionary agent that can effectively accelerate the evolution of carbon-based life, and make metals harder and malleable. The life capsule that optimizes biological genes and stabilizes the gene structure is the starting point for the development of magic energy technology. The catalyst for the explosive emergence of intelligent races, the direct cause of the alien invasion, and so on. The source of all this is inseparable from this almost all-powerful "miracle".
"Huh~~Huh~~"
Even Bai Chang, who has always seemed calm and composed, when he really faced such a miraculous substance, his heart was full of waves. Exhaled deeply, exhaled, and barely calmed down his restless mind. Bai Chang wiped the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes from his eyebrows, and then he removed some of the crooked bushes in front of him to let himself see more clearly.
The consequences of the shaking of the earth's surface indicate that this energy meteorite, which was targeted by Bai Chang, did not "float" to the earth's surface. Therefore, the phenomenon of "there are stones but no pits" will not appear, and the scene in front of Bai Chang's eyes obviously confirmed his thoughts:
The largest diameter of about 10 meters of the "huge" crater can barely be seen in the general shape, and it is an oval pit that is large in the east and small in the west. Although it did not reach the level of destroying the world, such an obvious impact state still made Bai Chang secretly smack his tongue.
Compared with the west side, the surface of the tunnel on the east side can be clearly seen to be somewhat vitrified under the action of high temperatures. The rock and the earth completely melted and blended, forming a strange substance that is difficult to describe. Beneath the crystal clear surface, you can see the turbidity like a molten fluid.
This kind of melt, which is useless but has a bit of beauty, reflects a translucent light under the illumination of the white light. Bai Chang's heart moved, rolled up his trouser legs, and pulled out a knife that was more than a foot long.
"Click, click."
At the junction of the glazed surface and the soil, he made a few strokes. Bai Chang got his wish and got two pieces of "glass" of different sizes. With a bit of commemorative, Bai Chang put it in his bag and then inserted the knife back.
"Now, it's time to witness your royal luck!" Standing up, he thrust his waist angrily for a while, and Bai Chang said to himself quite amusemently.
As soon as the words fell, Bai Chang couldn't wait to tie a thin hemp rope around his waist and tie the other end to a wooden stake not far away. took a step forward without hesitation, and then reflexively fell to the bottom of the pit step by step. The action seems to be very cautious, but from a distance, it is a little obscene.
As he slowly approached the pit, Bai Chang could feel the residual high temperature, constantly following the air, rushing towards him. Although there is only a drop of less than three meters, with every step, Bai Chang's hind buttocks can clearly feel the change in temperature.
In the tunnel of the energy meteorite, because of the residue of the energy factor, Bai Chang's half-hung spiritual power is difficult to emanate. Therefore, I can only rely on a flashlight to find inch by inch. However, after searching for most of the area, except for the scattered meteorite fragments, Bai Chang did not find the main body of the meteorite.
Carefully putting the meteorite fragments into the wooden box, Bai Chang stood in the middle of the tunnel, quietly waiting for the heat to dissipate. The high temperature that has not yet dissipated, coupled with the energy factor overflowing from the main body of the meteorite, distorts the light of the flashlight and makes it difficult to shine into it.
This made it difficult for Bai Chang to see the true appearance of the meteorite, and he couldn't judge how much time he had left to wait. There was a little anxiety in the excitement, which was Bai Chang's mood at this time.
Because according to the information that Bai Chang has learned, after the energy meteorite lands, according to the different properties of the energy, after different time periods, the energy will begin to overflow. Subsequently, the "life fluid" that gradually emanates from the inner core will attract all creatures with a certain amount of intelligence in the range to snatch energy.
This evolution of genes is an instinct that is difficult for any intelligent creature to resist. Think about what environment you are in, once the "life fluid" begins to spread, whether you can retreat with your whole body is a question.
"Huh? You won't get out of the pit! ”
I can't see what the bottom of the pit is. Bai Chang began to think about whether there were other unexpected circumstances. There are too many uncertainties in luck, and Bai Chang is not sure that there is a main body of meteorites at the bottom of the pit.
Before rebirth, ordinary people are not qualified to participate in such a big event as "Fallen Death", except for the first forerunner of the event.
As a representative of ordinary people, most of the detailed information collected by Bai Chang about the Fallen Death was also inquired about from others. In addition, in order to prevent the occurrence of other accidents, Bai Chang has made up for the relevant knowledge of meteorite landing in the past two days.
And the de-crater of meteorites is a very unfriendly phenomenon for "meteorite hunters". In the process of landing, it is a common imagination for meteorites to fly directly and eject out due to factors such as the speed of movement, angle, and hardness of the surface.
As for how far it will eject, this is the time to look at the face.
The occurrence of any kind of situation will make your bamboo basket empty. Looking at the bottom of the pit, which was still black, Bai Chang took a deep breath and bent over to climb in.
With a slip under his feet, Bai Chang was startled, barely stabilizing his body, and a scorching smell made Bai Chang wrinkle his nose. Bai Chang knew that this was the smell of melted plastic on the soles of his shoes, and sighed secretly. Bai Chang squinted, half-squatted, put the flashlight on the ground, and looked for it step by step.
The residual temperature still made Bai Chang a little uncomfortable, and in less than a minute, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and then gradually evaporated in the high temperature in the air. It's just that now is not the time to pay attention to this, the bottom of this last pit is cleaner than Bai Chang imagined, even a little meteorite debris, Bai Chang didn't see it.
Only the semi-glazed surface looks a little smooth. As time passed, Bai Chang's mood gradually became a little frizzy. The beads of sweat the size of beans dripped directly on the smooth surface, like a drop of hot water dripping in a hot pot, and disappeared with a sting.
The flashlight hit the white spot left by the beads of sweat, and Bai Chang looked at it in a daze until his eyes were dry. With a flash of inspiration, Bai Chang took off the rubber gloves in his left hand and leaned towards the ground.
"Uh-huh."
With a muffled sound, his left hand reflexively lifted half of it, and Bai Chang thought about it and pasted it again. The intense burning sensation reminded Bai Chang of picking up charcoal when he was a child, and his face twitched slightly, and finally formed a weird, stiff smile.
His brow twitched, but he never raised his left hand. When he smelled something similar to the smell of roasted pig's hair, Bai Chang was finally able to concentrate and slowly spread his spiritual power to the surface.
The lilac energy factor was all over the tunnel, but it could be clearly "seen", and there was a trajectory extending from east to west, until it was about two meters in front of him.
Bai Chang was overjoyed and got up directly.
"Sting"
The sound of flesh tearing, coupled with a sharp pain that pierced his heart, made Bai Chang unable to distinguish between the sound and the pain, who came first and who came last. Half-arched, his right hand clenched his wrist tightly, Bai Chang bit the flashlight and leaned towards that position.
A semi-recumbent protrusion, in the middle groove, with a solid substance that has been completely glazed. Looking at something that was not at all in his impression, Bai Chang felt a little lucky in his heart. The left hand was pasted again, and after careful inspection, Bai Chang sighed helplessly.
It's just a hard rock and the meteorite body that collided violently, leaving a lot of energy factor behind. The development of things is far more troublesome than Bai Chang imagined. The pain in his left hand couldn't resist the sudden sinking in his heart.
When Bai Chang climbed out of the tunnel, the sky at this time revealed the first white in the sky.
I opened my backpack and silently sprayed some potion. Feeling the tingling pain, Bai Chang lay quietly on the ground, looking at the chaotic night, taking a deep breath, and finally turning into a sigh.
"Alas!"
"It's a little tricky."
"It's a little tricky!"
The first sentence states some facts, and the second sentence tells yourself.
After saying that, Bai Chang slowly stood up, opened his backpack and slowly tore off a roll of gauze soaked in muddy water......
