Chapter 394: Monsters in the Shadows
After a long trek down the valley, the two men stopped at a gentle place, both sweating profusely from the sun at the zenith.
Chen Hang and Hope hid under a mountain shade, they felt more comfortable, Chen Hang took out a little dry food, and the two began to sit on the ground to rest.
It is still a typical Danxia landform, with towering red stone mountains erected on both sides of the river valley, no vegetation growing on the mountain, a breeze blowing through the mountain, and occasionally one or two weathered stone seeds sliding down the mountain.
Hoping to eat a few mouthfuls of rice balls, she felt thirsty, and wanted to take out the kettle and drink a few sips, and then she handed the kettle to Chen Hang.
Chen Hang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he gasped and slowly lay down.
"It's hot, hopefully, you're fine, right?"
Hope replied, "It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." ”
Chen Hang looked at Hope's back, where the costume she had designed for herself had two small openings, and Hope's back was exposed under the small openings, her skin was smooth and elastic.
Chen Hang asked curiously:
"Hopefully, where are your wings?"
Hope glanced at Chen Hang, and she said angrily:
"And what about your Tyrannosaurus rex claws, does it often have to leave some marks on your body?"
Chen Hang laughed dryly, he knew that he had asked a stupid question, so Chen Hang changed the subject:
"Hopefully, what kind of genes have you absorbed? Your wings are really beautiful, are they swans? ”
Praised by Chen Hang, Hope's interest was raised, she lay down with it, Hope habitually scratched her hair, and she replied suspiciously:
"Swans? Probably not, right? I hadn't injected any potions, I hadn't come into contact with swans, and I didn't know how my evolution had developed. ”
"That's strange, without the injection of genetic modification liquid, it stands to reason that human beings will not produce sudden mutations. We must have overlooked something. ”
Chen Hang muttered, he began to think carefully, and Chen Hang began to recall the previous events.
Suddenly, I saw Chen Hang pat his thigh, and he sat up suddenly:
"I remembered, I hope you have been injected with drugs, and Sister Lili has helped you get a vaccine."
Chen Hang raised a finger, and he pointed to the right side of Hope's face, which was smooth and silky.
"This is it, when you were on the aircraft carrier, you were bitten by a mutated hamster, it left a wound here, you were poisoned.
In order to save you, Lili injected you with the virus vaccine she had just developed, which had not yet been tested, and Lili had only experimented on herself.
Later, Lili mutated, and she became a black widow poisonous spider, and we always thought it was because of what she injected later, but now I understand it - the vaccine she injected with you back then must have had some effect.
When Lu Lili lost her memory and wandered around the mainland, she did not evolve uncontrollably, and it must have been the vaccine that had an effect."
"Yes, yes, yes," Hope nodded repeatedly: "I was scratched by that vampire, I remember that I reacted to Utopia, but then I got better." ”
"yes, it must be that."
Chen Hang nodded: "That vaccine that has not undergone clinical trials has modified your genes, so you have started to evolve."
You're no longer afraid of the zombie virus, and you've evolved these wings, which is another evolutionary model that we haven't been exposed to yet - the autonomous evolution of humans - and you don't need the genetic abilities of an alien species at all. ”
Hope exclaimed, "Oh, am I that amazing? ”
Chen Hang exclaimed happily: "Yes, there must be, otherwise Jiang Dongcheng - that vampire won't care so much about you."
Jiang Dongcheng has always been obsessed with genetic research, he wants to find the safest way to evolve for himself, Jiang Dongcheng is extremely hungry for power.
He must have stumbled upon your situation, Jiang Dongcheng was surprised to find that humans don't need to mutate into other species to have the ability to evolve.
So he wants to catch you for research, which is why Jiang Dongcheng has been chasing you. ”
Hope opened her mouth wide, and she had a sudden realization on her face: "So that's the case!" ”
The two of them carefully recalled everything that had happened, and they became more and more sure of the answer, that the evolution of hope was really an evolutionary case that humanity had never encountered.
Just as the two of them were confirming the result, they heard a "bang", and a large amount of gravel suddenly slipped from the top of the opposite cliff.
The gravel bounced and fell, and they smashed into the river in the valley, and for a moment the river "popped" and the water "popped".
Chen Hang looked at the top of the mountain thousands of kilometers away, and he said with a smile: "The mountains here are so weathered, we don't want to be hit by stones." ”
Chen Hang stood up and wanted to continue walking, but he didn't want to catch Chen Hang's right hand suddenly, Chen Hang felt the trembling of hope very keenly, and her eyes stared at the opposite mountain peak in horror.
"What's wrong with Hope? Do you feel something? Chen Hang asked strangely.
Hope was still staring at the other side, her gaze slowly moving down the top of the mountain, and Chen Hang noticed that Hope's face was getting whiter and paler.
After a while, Hope's gaze shifted to the mountain range three thousand meters away, and after a long time, Hope withdrew her gaze, she turned her head, hoping to pull Chen Hang and hurriedly walked in another direction.
"Let's go, let's get out of here immediately, I just felt a terrifying murderous aura, there is a terrible monster hidden behind the top of the mountain opposite."
"Is there one? Why don't I feel it? ”
Chen Hang said in confusion that he also had the ability to sense murderous aura, but Chen Hang really didn't feel anything at that time.
Hope explained as she walked, her expression didn't seem to be fake at all:
"I'm pretty sure that murderous aura, the other party's strength will definitely not be worse than yours, and its ability should be similar to your Tyrannosaurus rex form.
I have the ability to foresee danger, and it's my natural ability that allows me to foresee danger when it strikes.
The monster had noticed us, and it was lurking on the top of the hill opposite, and the monster was trying to ambush us.
But it noticed that I had spotted it, so the monster left the top of the slope, and it disappeared behind the top of the hill, but I'm sure it would pop out of nowhere else.
It's locked us down. ”
"Powerful monsters? Impossible, right? ”
Although Chen Hang's mouth was puzzled, the pace under his feet did not slow down, and Chen Hang followed closely behind Hope:
"It stands to reason that if mutated organisms want to accelerate their evolution, they must need some external conditions.
Either it's nuclear radiation, or it's the invasion of a new virus, or it's a doctor who injects them with a special catalyst.
This is a desert with no people, and the mutations of ordinary creatures mostly occur in cities or some nuclear plants, how can such a powerful thing appear here? ”
