Yu Jia sighed and said, "Yes or no, until now, only a few people know about this matter. If the people below and the warriors knew that the Tree of Life was dead, they would not have been so peaceful. ”

Huang Quan asked a few more questions, but how did the tree of life come about, how it was born, how it died, and Yu Jia fell into a state of confusion again, and he couldn't answer at all.

It was as if her memories were missing in this place, the deep-seated problems related to the Tree of Life, and the instruments that could make the Life Stone.

The weirdness was even more apparent.

Shelters and settlements are in obvious decline, but some cutting-edge technologies such as smelting are still at the level of the Imperial Era, and some details are more advanced. But their technological fault is obvious, and there is a jump at the same time, and they are forcibly linked in the way of ancestral inheritance.

If there were no other factors at play behind the scenes, Huang Quan would not believe it anyway. Holy places may be one of the reasons, but they are by no means the whole story.

It is true that a starship can bring a huge boost to human science and technology, but under normal circumstances, in addition to using existing equipment, the development of science and technology should still be gradual, and the Shelter humans obviously ignore basic science and go straight to applied science.

So the core of the problem is not in the Holy Land, but in the origin of this world.

Yu Jia couldn't ask anything more, and Huang Quan was disappointed to learn that the shelter's database couldn't give him any more answers.

As the energy of the Tree of Life declined, there were fewer and fewer maintenance personnel, and later, the equipment that stored the historical data had to be shut down and could no longer be turned on.

As a result, the shelter is like a settlement, and there is a fault line between knowledge and history.

According to Huang Quan's observations, because they live around the Tree of Life, the intelligence of the warriors of the Sanctuary has not degraded like the Lost People of the settlement, but there are slight signs of degradation.

At the same time, under the pressure of survival, it seems right to selectively discard some historical materials that seem to be of little use.

Huang Quan and Yu Jia leave the Creation Hall. Yu Jia arranged a separate room for him, which was very spacious, anyway, there were empty houses in the shelter now, and if he wanted, he could live alone in the entire closed block.

After arranging the accommodation, Yu Jia sent the map over for Huang Quan to continue thinking about and refining the tactical plan.

In the evening, the warriors selected by the shelter gathered in Huang Quan's room at the same time as Haruka and Flying Arrow, and Huang Quan hung the map on the wall to temporarily serve as a combat command room.

"We will set off early tomorrow morning and go along the mountains, first of all to reach this point, and if no clues related to the Holy Land are found here, then we will continue to go deeper, to here and here. The point on the top left is our final goal, and we have to return to whatever we find at this point or not. ”

"Throughout the operation, try to avoid contact and firefights with cannibals. Our purpose is to find holy places, not to exterminate cannibals. ”

Looking at the route and action plan given by Huang Quan, the experienced Sun Zhan and Tianhuo both nodded secretly.

As for the choice of the target point, anyway, the two of them couldn't understand Huang Quan's theory of calculating the cruising route of the Holy Land, and in the current situation of having no clue, they could only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

After explaining the action plan, Huang Quan said: "If there is no problem, everyone can rest now." ”

Sun Zhan and Yu Jia stayed, Sun Zhan wanted to make a final confirmation of the number of life stones he carried, set the number and left. Yu Jia didn't leave, and she didn't say anything about staying, she just looked at Huangquan like that.

"What's wrong? I have to march tomorrow morning, and although I need to take care of ordinary soldiers, it will not be a light burden for you. Rest early! ”

Yu Jia stared at Huang Quan, wanting to say something, but couldn't open his mouth, and finally stomped his feet and rushed out of the door.

As soon as she left, Yao came in, and the girl looked back at Yu Jia's back, with some doubts on her little face. However, she has a simple temperament, and she is a little uncomfortable, and the moment she sees Huang Quan, she completely leaves it behind.

"You ......"

Huang Quan didn't even finish a word, Yao threw himself into his arms, and his body became hot, as if on fire.

She had been shuttling through the rainforest for the past time, struggling between life and death, and when she arrived at the shelter, she was almost raped by the shelter's soldiers.

It was only now that she felt completely safe, able to wash herself, and had space to be alone with Huangquan. So all the emotions that had accumulated in the girl's heart exploded instantly, turning into a raging fire, wanting to burn Huangquan and herself clean.

Of course, Huang Quan would not refuse, and directly carried her to bed.

Outside the building, Yu Jia stood quietly, watching the two figures disappear from the window, and the blood on her lips has lost color.

A new day begins with the morning light.

The sky was still dark, and the wind carried heavy moisture, which felt cold on the body.

The shelter was quiet, most of the people were still asleep, and there were more than two dozen figures standing on the playground, such as Sun Zhan and Tianhuo, the big names in the shelter, all of whom had changed into ordinary combat uniforms, brought field equipment, and were fully armed and waiting for the arrival of the time for action.

Huang Quan circled around everyone a few times, checking everyone's equipment meticulously. The next trip will determine the fate of the entire human race in the shelter, and there can be no carelessness.

He stopped in front of Sun Zhan, looked at Sun Zhan's straight legs with some surprise, and asked, "Can I take a look?" ”

"Of course."

Huang Quan squatted down and pulled up Sun Zhan's trouser leg, and what caught his eye was a pair of sophisticated mechanical prosthetics. Each prosthetic limb is inlaid with a Life Stone as a motivational force.

Huang Quan looked at it carefully for a while, and Fang said, "It's really shocking. ”

Sun Zhan smiled and said, "I don't know where it came from, I have the impression that since I was a child, it was placed in the warehouse, and in the past, whoever needed it could use it temporarily." At that time, I didn't expect to use it one day. ”

This mechanical prosthetic limb is actually powered by the Life Stone, and it is obviously not the technology that the humans of the shelter should have.

Huang Quan was already surprised, and after inquiring about reliability, he didn't say anything more and announced his departure.

This small team, each with a huge backpack on their backs, took advantage of the dim morning light to embark on a long journey.

The rainforest behind the mountain is no different from the rainforest when the Yellow Spring came, and it is full of malice, as if there are countless pairs of eyes, quietly watching this team in the dark.

After absorbing more than ten Life Stones, Huang Quan's strength had fully recovered, and he had even improved.

According to the environment of the rainforest and the characteristics of the man-eater, he has readjusted the activation order of the special muscles in his body, and now he is more flexible, faster, and more powerful.

In the rainforest environment, Yellow Springs is the embodiment of killing, and its combat power is even stronger than the normal battlefield environment during the Imperial period.

The price of this adjustment is the decline of his space combat ability and the loss of some ability to control special weapons.

Those weapons specially developed for Huangquan have long since become scrap metal under the washing of ten thousand years, so it is nothing to give up.

The team lined up in a long column, Huang Quan walked in the middle and rear, the soldiers took turns exploring the road in front, and Sun Zhan and Tianhuo took turns to escort the formation at the end.

Huang Quan spends most of his time following the team, and as the highest combat strength of the entire team, he has to conserve his physical strength and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Scouting in the rainforest is extremely physically demanding, as the speed of exploration is faster than the speed of the team. The strength of each fighter can be seen from the exploration time and distance.

But Yu Jia didn't know what was wrong, his face was a little pale, his physical strength was worse than normal, and he didn't show much stronger than ordinary fighters. Luan Jie was originally slightly inferior to her, but now the exploration time is more than twice as long as her.

Huang Quan specifically asked why, and Yu Jia just replied coldly: "I'm fine." ”

Huang Quan nodded, no longer asking.

No matter how civilization and technology develop, the differences between women and men are still clear, and a veteran powerhouse like her should have the experience and ability to grasp her physical condition. Asking too much is disrespectful.
