Chapter 2: The Ethereal Boat

The river slowly rolls, the waves gently rise and fall with the breeze, and there is a warm light in the sky, shining on the surface of the water, rippling layer by layer, as if telling a story of twists and turns, so quietly expressed, from ancient times to the present, unchanged.

There is a flat boat in the big river, the body of the boat is carved by the unknown ancient tree as a whole, it is integrated, depicted with ancient patterns, mottled and vigorous, with the long river flowing downstream, I don't know the starting point, I don't know the end.

On the boat lay a man, as if asleep.

Luo Yu opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a clear sky high and far away. He lifted the corner of his eye, propped himself up with his hands, and found himself lying on a small boat, and the scene in front of him was still so familiar.

He wasn't surprised at all, because he had already encountered such a situation more than once.

It's a dream, a strange dream that has accompanied him since childhood.

"Why are you here again, ...... last night" Luo Yu suddenly had a cleverness, quickly checked his body, and only after a while did he exhale deeply, relieved: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not crippled." ”

Thinking of the violent lightning strike last night, he really didn't dare to remember it anymore. and the last blade of light that appeared in the sky, which made Luo Yu feel more and more that He Xi was really "perverted".

Shaking off these thoughts, he began to take a closer look at the situation in front of him. Suddenly, a place in his heart throbbed, as if something had awakened, vibrating with a clearer and clearer sound, like Hong Zhong Dalu, deafening.

"Is this the core of the ability?" he muttered to himself, somewhere in his heart, he could feel a mass of energy flowing, making him feel more peaceful, but he just didn't know what it was for.

Unconsciously, the wooden plank under his feet slowly appeared bright, Luo Yu was surprised to find that a piece of text appeared on the ground, the text was simple, like the current square characters, but it was a lot more complicated, Luo Yu couldn't understand it, but there was a strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't explain it.

……

"Brother Xiaoyu, Brother Xiaoyu" Lin Ziyue called softly, sitting on the edge of the bed a beautiful young girl, with beautiful long hair, embellished with a pair of bright eyes like autumn water, gentle and moving.

Luo Yu struggled to move the corner of his eye.

"You're awake, great, I'm scared to death!" Lin Ziyue said happily.

"Water"

"Don't move yet, I'll get it"

Luo Yu opened his eyes, this is a small room due to the metal frame, the room is very simple, a bed, tables, chairs and wardrobes, there are several plants and flowers on the table, although it is simple, but it is very clean, giving people a warm feeling.

He drank the water handed by Ziyue, recalling the first time he saw her.

5 years ago, when he was 17 years old, a soldier belonging to the national formation, opened the first order of genetic locks, and his physical fitness was several times that of ordinary people.

Luo Yu found 10-year-old Lin Ziyue in a ruin, at that time she was skinny, her body was malnourished due to a long-term lack of food, and she was lying weakly in the ruins waiting for death.

"Daddy, Mommy," Ziyue called weakly.

The ordinary people in the city were almost dead, and Luo Yu brought her back to the army.

"I saw you go out with Teacher He last night, and I haven't slept well," Ziyue said suddenly.

"Ahem, why?" Luo Yu seemed to choke on drinking water, and subconsciously asked.

Ziyue looked frightened, frowned and made a look of fear, obviously also in deep awe of He Xi.

"......" Luo Yu.

"Let's go out for a walk, you've been lying down all day"

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the messy white bandages on his body, the whole person was like a white zongzi, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Luckily, nothing was too much trouble.

Walking out of the door, there is a whole row of doors that stretch for hundreds of meters next to it, this is a dormitory building. Located in the Human Justice League Military Academy in the heart of Yunyuan.

The entire Yunyuan City is a war military fortress, with a radius of several hundred miles under its jurisdiction, casting a solid defense of the human race, and the buildings are densely packed, where most of the elite and military resources of the human race are concentrated.

Since twenty years ago, gene technology has broken through the incredible bottleneck, causing the largest "demonic disaster" in human history, and at the same time creating superpowers in the era of mythology, one of which is that the human gene lock has been opened, and a lot of incredible things have happened, human beings seem to have some kind of atavistic phenomenon, but it is not the "ape" ancestor that people originally imagined, but the "dragon" and even "god" that only exist in human myths and legends. Among the people who opened the high-level genetic locks, huge dragon wings actually grew.

The other is with the opening of the gene lock, and derived from the "mind shackle theory", with the opening of the gene lock, the human brain domain has also changed, the unknown ability is opened, that is, the so-called "ability", with the deepening of research, this kind of ability can be randomly generated with the opening of the gene lock, or it can be artificially trained to form a "prototype of the ability" by cooperating with the opening of the gene lock, with the familiarity with its own attributes, the prototype has the ability to evolve.

Standing in the corridor of the dormitory, leaning on the railing, Luo Yu saw the vast plain in the distance rolling up bursts of monstrous smoke and dust, and a black dot approached the city wall from far and near.

It was a war ship, suspended in mid-air, like a metal mountain, with hideous armor and countless tiny pipes mounted on the surface, and it was a row of destructive weapons.

"Look, that's the mecha unit of the Apocalypse Legion." Someone exclaimed.

"Oh my God, why are they here, is there something big going on outside?"

"It's not good, have you noticed dark red blood stains on the ship, maybe there was a big battle just now!"

“……”

There was a lot of talk in the crowd, and there were all kinds of speculations.

The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and the giant ship was invited into the city and parked in an open area.

Luo Yu retracted his gaze, and caught a glimpse of He Xi coming from the other end of the aisle, his long hair fluttering with his plump body, Luo Yu was stunned, but he heard He Xi's voice when he passed by: "Come to the classroom at eight o'clock in the evening to find me." He walked away without hurrying.

Luo Yu was left to stand there for a moment, until he saw Ziyue beside him looking at him with sympathetic eyes, and he was shocked.

……

The moonlight shines into the empty classroom, hazy, the area is the size of two basketball courts, and the floor is full of potholes, as if it often experiences some violent impacts, saying that it is a classroom, but in fact, it is more like a martial arts arena.

There were some weapons and books in the corner, and at the door of the classroom, He Xi sat on a bench, his face was quiet, his eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were lowered as if he was about to fall asleep.

Luo Yu walked in, and his heart was not settled.

glanced at He Xi, who looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, you're almost alright, aren't you?"

Luo Yu nodded, He Xi is the leader of the national ability group, who specializes in training and guiding the warriors who open the gene lock, and forms a group of cutting-edge human forces.

There are a total of nine ability groups in Huaxia Kingdom, each led by a different captain, and He Xi is just one of them.

Regarding the relevant knowledge of "ability", Luo Yu does not know much about it.

"The modern gene lock theory, there are currently known five stages, the first stage of the gene lock is greatly strengthened by the human body, the second stage of the gene lock is opened to open some areas of the brain domain, the speed of brain computing and thinking is greatly improved, and the third stage of the gene lock is ......"

For example, the opening of the gene lock is hardware, and the opening of the mind shackle, that is, the formation of the ability is software, the former is the foundation, and the latter is a derivative product."

"The opening of the shackles of the soul depends on the opening of the genetic lock."

"The first stage of the opening of the shackles of the mind is the formation of the ability core"

"The ability core is connected to the different space, absorbing energy from it, and growing at the same time as the gene lock is opened, and there are currently five stages that are known, corresponding to the five opening degrees of the gene lock......"

He Xi didn't talk nonsense, she started talking directly, she raised her right hand, pinned to the void in front of her, and a white light cluster like the moon slowly appeared on it, emitting a soft light, "There are countless kinds of energy in different spaces, most of them are violent and uncontrollable, the ability core is used as a filter, screening the redundant energy, leaving the purest energy body, this kind of energy body has no attribute characteristics, but it may evolve into various attribute manifestations, such as thunder and lightning, rain, wind, flames, ......" He Xi's hand shook slightly, and the light exploded, In an instant, Zhang Xiaoyu felt a chill coming, like a cold winter suddenly coming, his footsteps were shaken by this shock wave, and he finally stood up again.

He Xi's hands began to transform all kinds of light, some soft, some violent, some fresh and heavy, sometimes there was thunder and lightning, and sometimes the sound of spring water was faintly heard.

"You don't understand, do you understand?"

Luo Yu nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Tell me how you felt that night."

"Feelings?" As soon as I thought of this Zhang Xiaoyu, I was a little crazy, the feeling that day was really immortal, and I secretly despised He Xi's unreliability in my heart, but I said: "Very good, I'm about to become an immortal!" ”

"Seriously!"

"I saw a river"

"A river?"

"Yes, strange river, out of thin air, you can't see it clearly." Luo Yu said honestly, and he also hoped to get a little inspiration from He Xi.

He Xi was silent, pondering to herself, and when Luo Yu thought she was going to be silent like this for a night, He Xi suddenly said, "You try to feel the ability core and absorb some energy from the void." ”

Luo Yu immersed his mind in the heart part, where there was a cloud of light and shadow, spinning endlessly along a strange track, almost instinctively, he felt a trace of strange energy burrowing into his body, and a faint bell rang in the silent and empty classroom, subtle but very pleasant, making people fall into a state of calm.

A look of surprise flashed in He Xi's eyes, but he continued to observe carefully without saying a word.

"There was a roar in the void," she sighed softly, looking at Zhang Xiaoyu as if she had seen a delicious prey.

Zhang Xiaoyu stopped and saw this scene, and his heart suddenly shook for no reason.

Fortunately, He Xi returned to his normal expression and clapped his hands, "Okay, it's almost all that should be said, I have to go back and slowly understand, even if I have the ability core, even if I have completed the first step of building the foundation in the legend, it will no longer be a dream to fly away in the future, come on boy." ”

Seeing Luo Yu leave the classroom as if she was escaping, leaving He Xi alone in the classroom, she turned around and walked to the platform outside, looked at the bright moon, and muttered to herself: "It's incredible that this kid can actually perceive the time realm and produce a void roar......"
