"Damn, this is a bit of a tough thing to do!"

In a pile of tall case files, Lin Xi sat up straight, rubbed his temples and cursed.

On his back, the sweat that had flowed from his cultivation before had completely dried up at this time, and in his place, there was a layer of cold sweat that became more and more fine.

Sweat dried, soaked, and the remaining salt formed a misty layer of hoarfrost on his clothes.

"What's wrong?"

With a soft inquiry, the door of the archive room was pushed open, and Wu Qiuli walked in with a cup of tea.

Putting the teacup in front of Lin Xi, she didn't care about the unpleasant smell of sweat on the young man's body, walked directly behind him, and gently kneaded his shoulders for him.

The soft and boneless little hand crossed his shoulder, so comfortable that Lin Xi wanted to hum.

"It's nothing."

He said vaguely, picked up the teacup, only to find that the tea in the cup was as light as it had just flowed out of the pipe, only three or two dry tea stalks suspended in the water, rippling with his movements.

"The supplies in the base are tight?"

He asked casually.

"Hmm." Wu Qiuli nodded, "Now the institute is not very satisfied with you and Sister Xuan." She knows all day long to do experiments, and she doesn't care about anything; You are even more desperate, every day you are either looking for Master Zhang to learn boxing, or hiding alone in the archives and don't know what you are doing, everyone thinks that you, the peak of the alien, should lead the team out to find some supplies and come back. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'm really going to complain. ”

"I'll let them die!" Lin Xi sneered.

Then thinking about it, he snorted as if he was still unsatisfied, "You go and tell Jiang He later, let him send a notice, and say that if it is difficult to do the test, even if it is reported, I will ask him to bring someone to ask, find, and rob, whatever I want, I will cooperate, even if they want Mongolian underwear, as long as it is good for the progress of the test, I can get it for them!" But...... If someone makes trouble again because of luxury goods, you can be polite and slap him directly! ”

"What?!" The girl was frightened by his absolutely tough plan, "Wouldn't this be too much?" ”

"Fart!"

Lin Xi slapped the table and roared angrily,

"I see, these nerds are spoiled by the Mongols! You see, until now, the mentality has not been adjusted! Do you really think it's before the end of the world? Hmph, what's wrong with Lao Tzu abusing them? Make no mistake, I'm the boss of this institute now, not their babysitter! Dissatisfied? If you're not satisfied, go out by yourself! Let's see if the living corpses and alien beasts will reason with them? Provoke Lao Tzu, feed them pig food every day, believe it or not! ”

"Believe, I believe."

Wu Qiuli didn't want to argue with Lin Xi, who was obviously angry, so she smiled bitterly twice, and changed the topic, "What were you talking about before?" ”

"It's not easy to do in this world."

Lin Xi pushed with both hands, and the scroll on the table immediately ran back to its original position as if he had grown legs.

This is also the result of Lin Xi's cultivation during this period of time, not to mention anything else, but at least the level of control over the force is not the same as before.

"The way of the world?"

Wu Qiuli was stunned.

Lin Xi let out a soft "um" and didn't explain again.

Some things, since there is no way to solve them, then there is no need to worry about everyone together, at this time, concealment, but the most sincere tenderness.

These days, Lin Xi has read too much information about alien beasts and living corpses left by Zhu Shiqiu.

To be honest, if it's just like the zombies in the movie, or simple beasts, without advanced intelligence, Lin Xi is not so worried, anyway, no matter how many you have, as long as you give humans time to recover and regain their possession of hot weapons, kill one today, kill a group tomorrow, there will always be a time to wipe it out, even if you are an overlord at the top of the food chain like Jairus and Immortal Bone, as long as you are still a living being, it will be difficult to withstand the bombardment of nuclear bombs, and you will not be afraid that it will not kill you.

But now Lin Xi knew that whether it was a living corpse or a strange beast, existences above the middle level already possessed wisdom comparable to that of humans.

Especially the kings of the race such as Jairus and Immortal Bone, they not only have a flexible way of thinking of human beings, but also have a terrifying memory and calculation power no less than that of a supercomputer, and their intelligence is far beyond human imagination.

In this case, it is very unrealistic to hunt them like wild beasts, but humans may have to worry about being hunted by them at any time.

The reason why we didn't see a large-scale tide of corpses and beasts in the last era was mainly because there were major civilizations in front of them, and by the time the Chinese civilization rose, there were only scattered living corpses and strange beasts left, and the Chinese region itself was not a hard-hit area, so it was not too difficult to clean up, so in ancient Chinese legends, it seems that whether it is a zombie or a monster, it is a loner and has no organization.

But Lin Xi knows that the real truth is far from so simple:

Whether it is a strange beast or a living corpse, they all have a pyramid-shaped social structure, and their dominance is far stronger than that of humans.

Far from it, let's just say that in the Middle Ages, just those alien beasts and living corpses that have been crippled can still unite, plus some scum in the human race who cultivate dark spells, to create a notorious dark council, so that the Holy See in Western Europe and the Mongolian army in Eastern Europe have not been completely wiped out, so that their legends have remained to this day.

It can be imagined that at the beginning of this era, the power of living corpses and alien beasts with complete strength will be terrifying.

However, humanity has been severely injured in the cataclysm, not to mention that the sun is almost gone.

In this case, even if Zhu Shiqiu said that the human race retained the hole card of the so-called "Holy Council", Lin Xi did not dare to have much hope.

In his opinion, this hole card of human beings is no different in nature from Atlantis's self-detonation of the core temple back then, and can only be used as a last-minute desperate fight, and it will not be used easily.

Until then, the survivors scattered around the world were still struggling to survive on their own.

It's been such a time, those researchers still can't see the situation clearly, and they still have the heart to think about what luxury goods are not enough, no wonder Lin Xi is so angry that he wants to feed them pig food.

"A bunch of wine bags and rice bags! Eater! Idiot! ”

Lin Xi was so angry that he scolded a few more viciously, then he looked at Wu Qiuli and asked, "By the way, you shouldn't have come to me all for the sake of delivering tea, right?" ”

"Of course not."

A happy smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face.

She took out a photo from her pocket and slapped it in front of Lin Xi with a snap, "Look at this." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and glanced at the photo.

I saw that the photo was a desolate and dilapidated scene, desolate, only various mutated beasts occupied the entire street, presumably taken by a camera with an automatic power supply system.

"Why are you letting me see this?"

Lin Xi asked a little strangely.

"Look at it again."

Wu Qiuli deliberately sold a pass, a slender white finger, but quietly slid to the roof of a small building in the frame of the photo.

Lin Xi subconsciously glanced in the direction of her finger.

In the next second, he was already trembling with excitement, and shouted, "Surprise! ”
