Chapter 22: Life Forms
After climbing out of the pothole and running a few steps in the direction of Zhengcheng, Zhang Yifei saw the car parked on the highway opposite.
The high-speed pothole that collapsed just now was about 100 meters long, and the vehicles on the other side of the road passed by and saw that the dead bodies on the ground had run away, but the people on the other side of the fault couldn't see what was going on because it was dark and the distance was too far.
After Zhang Yifei climbed out of the pothole and ran out of the 100 meters, he saw the vehicles on the other side of the pothole—those were the reverse cars from Zhengcheng to the lockdown, and there were four or five cars parked on the side of the road at this time.
However, these people are very alert, and the world is relatively chaotic now, and everyone is more vigilant when they go out. Coupled with the big battle in the service area just now, although it is far away here, the distance of seven or eight hundred meters and the darkness make it impossible to see what is happening over there. But the earthquake-like sound can still be heard, and when the four or five cars were hesitating to turn around and go back, Zhang Yifei appeared.
Covered in blood, ragged, and extremely fast.
At that moment, those cars did not hesitate, directly reversed and turned the front of the car, and fled here quickly.
Only one car did not react and stayed here, because the owner was not in the car, and she was standing not far from the car to look at the situation on the other side of the pothole.
When he saw Zhang Yifei, the man also screamed and turned around and ran, but how could the speed be as fast as Zhang Yifei, when she opened the car door, Zhang Yifei had already arrived, dragged her to the side, and sat in the driver's seat.
"Go to the co-pilot." Zhang Yifei glanced back, this distance plus the "basin" terrain of the service area (the high-speed service area in some areas is much lower than the highway), he can no longer see the battle situation there.
"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Yifei's roar, the woman was stunned.
"I don't want to die co-pilot, or you stay here!" Robbed someone else's car, you can't harm someone else's life anymore, Zhang Yifei stretched out his hand to open the co-pilot's door and beckoned the owner to come in.
And the latter hesitated, and there was a "boom" in the distance, which startled her and made her make up her mind.
didn't dare to hesitate anymore, she went directly to the co-pilot, and Zhang Yifei twisted the car key, reversed the car directly, turned around, and ran all the way.
Retrograde on the road, Zhang Yifei glanced at the woman beside him, a middle-aged woman of thirty-three or four.
Dressed very ordinarily, with light blue leggings underneath and a black silk robe on the top, he sat there and looked at the blood on Zhang Yifei's face, trembling a little.
"Don't be afraid, this is just a car that fell into a pit." After the car drove two or three kilometers, Zhang Yifei breathed a sigh of relief -- at least his life was saved.
As for what kind of battle the second leader and the Sand Hill will be, and who can win, it is not his concern. Anyway, these two people, the mound of sand, can be counted as people, and he will be happy to die for whoever dies.
In the entire lockdown city, what he was most afraid of was this second leader. Of the two people who might know his identity, the big leader doesn't care about the world and doesn't care about the parasites below, but the second leader is very interested in him - anyway, as far as today is concerned, Zhang Yifei absolutely doesn't believe that he really has something to do to come to Zhengcheng.
And even if there is really something, can you follow yourself all the way?
No matter how you think about it, I feel that I am here to observe my own situation - I didn't see enough last time, but this time I will dig deeper, needless to say, feel the emotions and confirm the purpose, and you can confirm what you think in your heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yifei suddenly understood why the second leader didn't want to let himself die just now (if he wanted him to die, he wouldn't have to work hard at all), and he had to let himself follow him to the territory of the Sand Hill - this was completely a temptation. At the most critical moment of life and death, he saved himself, and the only possibility was to see if the hill of sand would kill him.
And thinking about it, the only possibility for the second leader to do this kind of thing is to see if he has a connection with the Hill of Sands?
"Why do you suspect that I have something to do with the Hill of Sand? That's, isn't it? Although Zhang Yifei figured out the purpose of the second leader, he couldn't understand his brain circuit at all.
He had never seen the mound of sand, so how could it have anything to do with him.
However, speaking of the mound of sand, although Zhang Yifei said that it was the first time he saw it, he was really deeply shocked - strange life forms, life forms that he had never seen before and had never thought of.
Looking at the metal-like body, he judged that it might be a silicon-based creature. It's just that in Zhang Yifei's barren thinking, the silicon-based creature should almost be like a Transformer, and the worst thing is a metal man or something-who knows, this mound of sand is not a humanoid creature, not even a basic form-even if it grows into a monster, it can make him feel more at ease.
Now it looks like it's just a pile of metallic sand!
And the most bizarre thing is that, judging from the fact that they can combine variant ambushes, there should still be wisdom.
A pile of sand, nothing like a brain, how can you have wisdom?
This question made Zhang Yifei ponder for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion in a flash of inspiration - this wisdom may be a kind of symbiotic wisdom - just like what was written in some miscellaneous books I read before, bee colonies are symbiotic wisdom, a bee IQ is very low, but a group of bees has a very good IQ, can have a clear division of labor, can cooperate efficiently, and even have behavioral language to communicate with each other.
This mound of sand grains should be this form of wisdom, and the radio waves and magnetic fields on their bodies should be able to merge and form something similar to brain waves, and when it comes to communication, electromagnetic communication is not only not a problem at all, but the speed is faster than verbal communication, I don't know how much.
It's just that the key that Zhang Yifei can't think about is that if this large group of sand grains is a big individual or countless small individuals, how much wisdom is there in it? How can we kill them completely, whether to kill one core sand or not to let go of every sand?
And, how do they reproduce? How many can it be?
Are there any other means besides ontological combat camouflage?
After seeing this strange race of creatures, Zhang Yifei had more questions.
He wasn't sure of any of these things, but what he was sure of was that today's encounter between the Second Leader and the Hill of Sand - it should have been a fruitless battle.
This place is too close to Zheng Cheng, even if the second leader can't beat it, he will definitely be able to run away with his physical ability and wisdom. And even if the human army comes to help, it will definitely not be able to kill the mound of sand, that kind of sand is almost invincible in the wild, Zhang Yifei can imagine, even if a nuclear bomb flies over, those sand quickly seep into the cracks of the soil at high speed, and it can escape dozens of meters deep in the blink of an eye.
Even if the nuclear bomb explodes, the shock wave brought by the bomb will first crystallize the upper layer of soil, and then the shock wave will no longer be able to kill the extremely hard sand particles under such a thick ground buffer, and can only squeeze them deeper. Ordinary human thermal weapons, it is difficult to get them.
Regardless of whether this creature has other abilities or not, as long as it is strong enough to reproduce, it can threaten parasites and humans.
If there's anything else - it's really the king of the wild.
Zhang Yifei was thinking nonsense in his mind, and the car arrived at the intersection of Zhengcheng Expressway. The place has been closed, the vehicles inside are not allowed to go out, and the vehicles outside are also being inspected.
Parking at the end of the line, Zhang Yifei was afraid of running into Zheng Cheng's parasite, so he prepared to get out of the car and bypass the toll booth - it would not be difficult for him to climb over the high wall and spare the surveillance.
Taking out his wallet and mobile phone, Zhang Yifei rummaged through his wallet, found a PetroChina fuel card and gave it to the woman: "Thank you for your help, get your carload of blood, this can be regarded as compensation." ”
After giving her the woman the oil card, Zhang Yifei found his mobile phone and wanted to call his old sister again - he made such a thrilling journey for the sake of his family, no matter how many things he saw, he couldn't forget the original purpose.
But when he took out his mobile phone, Zhang Yifei found that he didn't know whether his mobile phone was damaged by magnetic waves or damaged, and the screen was broken and couldn't be turned on.
"This ......"
"You use mine." The woman handed over her phone.
"Thank you." took the mobile phone and changed it to his card, and made a few calls to his sister but still couldn't get through. After Zhang Yifei thought about it, he saved his mobile phone number in the woman's mobile phone, and then took out his card: "I heard that your accent should be a lockdown person, today you help me owe you a personal favor, if you have something to do in the lockdown, you can come to me, and I will return you once." ”
While speaking, Zhang Yifei shook his mobile phone to indicate that he had saved the number, and then threw the mobile phone back to her. After returning the owner's mobile phone, Zhang Yifei opened the car door, found a corner where no one was around, jumped up and disappeared into the night.
