"What's going on, what's going on, where am I!" Lin Huoxiao's eyes were pitch black, and he tried to grope his body with his palm, but the palms didn't seem to exist, and he couldn't feel them moving. "Captain Joe! Help me! Lin Huoxiao shouted in panic.

A white dot of light appeared in his pitch-black vision. The points of light flew towards the forest fire, throwing countless curved rays of light and transparent curtains and points of light from its interior outward. When they completely enveloped Lin Huoxiao, Lin Huoxiao was shocked to find that this seemed to be the physical structure of an element, and it was so huge, like a hollow sun.

Lin Huoxiao saw his father again, he was standing in the center of the 'sun', his body was a little unreal, and the surface of his flesh and skin glowed with a faint yellow streamer.

"You're so old." The father's voice echoed ethereally, and it seemed vague and unreal, and he looked very similar to his father. Lin Huoxiao had a trance and felt that it was another self. When the beloved in the depths of his memory suddenly appeared, Lin Huoxiao felt a huge strangeness. But he was sure that this man was definitely the father who had left him and his mother for 20 years.

"Dad! It's really you! Father...... Have you been alive all the time? Lin Huoxiao was so excited that he couldn't speak, he tried to touch his father, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't feel the presence of his hands and feet.

"Dad, why don't you come back to us! You know how much your mother has been wronged and how much she has suffered for you! Where the hell have you been after all these years?! ”

The father didn't speak, he just looked at himself fixedly. There was speculation and thinking in that gaze, but there was no long-lost love and longing.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't you know me? I'm Ah Huo! Lin Huoxiao couldn't believe his father's attitude, and his grievances turned into doubts.

"Fire?" The father's gaze softened, "Sometimes my memory can be very confusing, I even forgot your name just now. Dad came back to see you. ”

Father slowly walked in front of Lin Huoxiao, he stretched out a hand and gently touched the red medal with golden stars on Lin Huoxiao's chest. Lin Huoxiao felt that this was very strange, and he suddenly wanted to shape his father into what he would be 20 years later.

"You keep it on your body?"

"Worn for 20 years, in memory of you." Lin Huoxiao had fantasized about countless scenes of reunion with his father, but none of them were like now, the kind of indifference that people could see through at a glance suddenly made Lin Huoxiao feel that the whole world was extremely cold.

"It's not memorable." Father took off the medal on Lin Huoxiao's chest, and it blurred into dense blue dots of light in the palm of his father's hand, and inside these dots of light were a very, very small, slowly wriggling mass of blue light and shadow, and it was impossible to see what it was.

"You're not my father. Where is this? Lin Huoxiao calmed down, the father in front of him, who was not his father, made him feel frightened, and he couldn't wait to leave this incredible space. Lin Huoxiao suspected that his soul had left his body and was imprisoned here by some unknown force.

"Truth be told, it's nowhere here, it doesn't belong to any of the worlds you know it to be. When I first came here, I was also full of confusion and confusion. ”

"And who are you? I know you're not him, give me back the medal! ”

The man known as the father seemed to be afraid that the medal in his hand would be taken away, and he clenched the medal in his hand behind his back while leaning back, "I used to be a puppet. I was bound by so many threads that one day I suddenly came to my senses, and I broke free. Actually, in a way, I'm still your father. I have memories of 28 humans, and your father is one of them. When he saw you, his memory actually showed strong longing and sadness. ”

The man, who looked exactly like his young father, smiled softly, "In our thinking, it is absolutely not allowed to destroy the existence of a harmonious and unified independent consciousness. So I'm closed on him for the time being, he needs to assimilate further, and he's still on his own all these years, which is not good. ”

"What are you talking about! Who are you? What did you do to my dad! If you dare to touch my father, I will ......"

"What about you?" The man interrupted Lin Huoxiao's inward threat, "What can you do?" Well, before today, you weren't even a child on the chessboard. Mankind has attained its present accomplishments by the gift of God. God has given you the opportunity to evolve more than once. But, you foolishly refuse this kindness again and again! You are resting on your laurels and do not seek greater evolution and development. This has angered your God, who has brought about your extinction. ”

"Nonsense! God is just a religious belief used to deceive people, what kind of trick are you going to play, what the hell is this place, let me out! Lin Huoxiao roared fiercely.

"Look, you're angry...... Oh no...... You're masking your fear with feigned anger. ”

"It's an illusion...... Wake up, wake up quickly! Lin Huoxiao closed his eyes tightly and tried to wake himself up from this absurd vision, but the man's voice still lingered around him.

"You have no reason to deny it. Looking at the outside world, how far are humanity from eventual extinction? 10 years? 20 years? Or even 1 year? 1 month, 1 day? Or the next moment? "Don't be so depressed, if I were a god, I wouldn't let humanity go extinct so easily, even though there have been many extinction events before the emergence of humans." ”

The blue points of light that the man held in his hand overflowed from his fingers, as if he had some kind of wisdom, slowly clinging to his whole body, and these points of light passed through the faint yellow light on the man's surface, and the two unknown elements gradually combined to form a piece of brilliant emerald green brilliance. The thin green glow was as hazy but condensed as the extraterrestrial atmosphere, and it enveloped the man in the center, and the man greedily closed his eyes and enjoyed it until all the hazy glow evaporated and vanished.

"So, it's not me who chose you, it's your father." The man opened his eyes and looked at Lin Huoxiao with a smile.

"I don't understand what you're talking about! Let me go, I don't want to know anything about you! ”

"Running away won't solve this problem, and besides, you don't really want to see him." The man seemed to feel Lin Huoxiao's deep fear, and his voice was full of ridicule. The man raised his finger to Lin Huoxiao's eyes, and Lin Huoxiao wanted to hide, but the next moment, he found himself standing in a laboratory full of various instruments and a huge sink. At this time, the door of the laboratory opened, and an old white man who looked to be in his sixties entered the laboratory surrounded by several Chinese. A bald middle-aged man behind the old man beckoned to Lin Huoxiao.

"Kobayashi, come here, this is Professor Buckflo sent by the General Headquarters of the War Zone, he is a giant in the genetics academic world!"

Lin Huoxiao looked at the group of people in front of him in a daze, he hadn't turned back from the world just now. How did you get here, and are these people talking to you?

He looked back behind him curiously, but the bald head shouted at him in a low voice with great dissatisfaction, "I said, Lin Jianyi, why are you still stunned?" ”

The white old man named Buckflo, who was standing at the front, hurriedly pressed his hand against the bald head next to him, walked a few steps forward with a kind face, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Child, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity." The General Command sent me across the ocean from the United Kingdom to take over the 'Genetic Ocean Project' this time, and we finally have a chance to work together. ”

Lin Huoxiao heard it in a fog, but looking at the hand stretched out by the old man in front of him, he still held it politely.

"Professor Buckflot, I'm not ......"

Lin Jianyi!

That's my father's name. Lin Huoxiao seemed to realize something for a moment, he quickly stopped what he was talking about, and hurriedly changed his words, "I'm not dreaming!" As he spoke, he made an exaggerated look of surprise on his face.

The bald man frowning on one side breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, professor, you and Xiao Lin will talk first, let's go out and make preparations, and take you to visit the entire genetic engineering laboratory later." ”

A group of Chinese led by the bald man left the laboratory with a nod from Buckfollo. Buckflo and Lin Huoxiao went to the large table on the side of the laboratory, which was full of various materials and experimental data, and in the center of the table was a tablet with a spiral-shaped gene sequence on it, and dozens of lines of analytical text and related data below.

Buckflo picked up the tablet on the table, "It's amazing! In the past 60 years, all the wisdom of mankind has only discovered 30 types of 'gene dust', and you have expanded the types of 'gene dust' to 45 in just two years! What kind of wisdom is this! ”

Buckflot's eyes flashed with excitement, "I can't wait to see your theoretical achievements, can you tell me about it?" ”

The confused Lin Huoxiao didn't know where to start, and he didn't even know what 'genetic dust' was. He knew that it must be the mysterious man who had brought him back to his father's time, did he want to let himself see what his father had been through? But why is he able to interact with characters from this time that has passed? Is this also the real world?

Lin Huoxiao had no way to stop his crazy thoughts, and there was no way to get himself out of this world that looked like the real world, so he agreed dryly. Buckflo handed the tablet to Wu Feng and walked to the three sinks filled with cloudy liquids in the center of the lab.

Lin Huoxiao quickly checked the information in the tablet, trying to find the answer he wanted to know.

"These are compounds from under the Pacific Ocean Trench, right? As a nascent species, it is hard to imagine that life that existed more than 30 billion years ago would be resurrected in what kind of physical structure it would have been today. It's really exciting! Right? Dr. Kobayashi. ”

Lin Huoxiao suddenly understood the light in Buckfro's eyes, which was a kind of anticipation and anxiety that he couldn't extricate himself. Is he looking forward to "resurrecting the extinct life of more than three billion years ago"? How is this possible? But what was he anxious about?

"Uh, yes, that's something I'm looking forward to." Lin Huoxiao echoed, and the hand that checked the information suddenly stopped. The information in front of you is a brief introduction to the project, and the four eye-catching black characters of 'Gene Ocean' are listed at the top of the information as the title.

"Dr. Kobayashi, what's wrong with you?" Buckflo found that Lin Huoxiao's eyes widened and looked at the tablet in his hand, thinking that he had found something again, and hurried up. Lin Huoxiao wanted to turn off the computer in his hand, but he suddenly realized that he didn't have to do it at all.

"What's wrong with Project Genes Ocean?" Buckflo asked.

"There's no problem, but the pairing of gene dust is a problem that hasn't been solved yet." Lin Huoxiao only had time to see the matching description of gene dust on the data, and in order to deal with Buckfloo, he could only say it.

"Hehe, so, I'm here." Buckfolo smiled and patted Lin Huoxiao's shoulder heavily, "The pairing of gene dust requires endless financial resources and resources. I have received support from dozens of top people from all walks of life, and one of them has benefited me a lot. It is also thanks to his great sponsorship that I have the research I have today, and I hope you can meet him. ”
