The weather on 16 June 2096 was a bit strange, with the sun appearing and disappearing in the dark clouds, which rolled like waves in the gale.

Geyue Mountain near the base of the Earth Mountain City is 1,300 meters above sea level.

At this moment, at the top of the mountain in front of Geyue Mountain, a burly and majestic old man in black stood silently on the edge of the cliff. Under this sky, which has been largely overcast since the Third World War, he is like a ghost who blends in with the environment.

The mountain wind was fierce, but his gray hair was not messy, and the hem of his trench coat drooped naturally, in stark contrast to the branches that were swept away by the mountain wind around him as if they were trying to get rid of the trunk of a tree.

Directly in front of him, a figure, no, a corpse was suspended in mid-air beyond the cliff.

It was the corpse of a young man with a freckled face, a plain trench coat, and a small flying machine on his back. A bloody hole in the center of his eyebrows was still spilling blood, his dull gaze was full of dying fear and remorse, his legs were limp and drooping, and occasionally the toe of his shoe would scrape the ground when he flew low, and a piece of the leather on the toe of his shoe had been scraped off.

The old man looked down at the corpse expressionlessly, and did not move for a long time.

At this time, several black-clothed people hurriedly ran to the old man, and although the leader tried to keep his composure, he still couldn't hide the tension in his heart: "Elder Yu, we have searched all over the vicinity of the mountain and haven't found that thing. I wonder if it's ......"

"What is it?" The old man in black stared at him sharply, without the old eyes of ordinary old men, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

"Could it be that you fell to the bottom of the cliff......" the man in black wondered.

"A bunch of rubbish!" The old man in black snorted coldly: "Then go to the bottom of the cliff to find it!" If you can't find it before the Federation is alarmed, you can all bury this guy with you! ”

As he spoke, the corpse of the freckled young man seemed to be pulled by some force and floated over, and was slapped on the head by the old man in black who was in a bad mood.

The power of terror!

……

At about the same time, halfway up the steep back mountain of Geyue Mountain, there was an inconspicuous deep stone cave, and an equally inconspicuous open-air stone platform extended from the cave.

The stone platform is about two square meters in size and looks like a tabletop.

Inside the cave are some tools for rock climbing and medicine collection, as well as several scientific research collection bags. On the stone platform, there is a light outdoor convenience pot. This kind of light outdoor convenience pot can work as long as it is in a light place, which is a must for home travel.

The four legs of the small outdoor pot are firmly fixed to the stone platform with alloy nails, and the hot steam is constantly bubbling inside, and the instant noodles are tumbling.

Suddenly, a transparent but non-reflective finger-sized red crystal fell strangely from above, and with a muffled sound, it happened to fall into the outdoor pot where the noodles were boiling, splashing a little water, and immediately regained its calm.

The water continued to boil as if nothing had happened.

Wang Ge, who was wearing a dirty old field work uniform, didn't know what was happening to his breakfast, he was carefully stretching out his feet and stepping on the protrusion of the rock wall, his gloves were wearing suction cup gloves with alloy hooks, and the whole person was moving slowly against the stone wall like a gecko.

The fierce mountain wind propped up his clothes, and his half-length black hair was blown messy like a chicken coop.

A few minutes later, Wang Ge's feet finally stepped on the surface of the open-air stone platform.

It feels so good to be down to earth!

Wang Ge let out a long sigh of relief, sat down at the door of the cave, and then couldn't wait to take off the scientific research collection bag on his waist.

"Blood Grass, Beba Mushroom, Cold Heart Leaf ......"

Opening the bag, Wang Ge carefully took out all kinds of medicinal materials collected from the mountain wall one by one in the bag, and put them in the collection bags marked with their names in the cave.

After taking out a large flowered vine, Wang Ge's eyes suddenly widened, and he peeled off a strange grass with snake patterns on the rhizome and the core of the grass divided into two forks in the shape of a snake letter.

Wang Ge slowly approached the wind outlet at the edge of the cave, and as the leaves were blown by the wind, the whole grass really made a 'hissing' sound, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters.

"I'm really lucky, I actually picked a well-growing snake letter grass!"

Snake letter grass is a key ingredient in making HPV-2, a genetic-enhancing agent for the body, and it can be sold for at least 2,000 sun coins on the black market, which is ten times higher than the total value of other medicinal materials that Wang Ge had collected in the morning.

Wang Ge was suddenly in a good mood, and after humming a song to continue to gather the medicinal herbs, he found that he was hungry.

The strong aroma of instant noodles drifted in with the mountain breeze, and Wang Ge suddenly felt hungry, so he leaned out and looked at the pot, and after sniffing beautifully, he reached out and turned off the heating switch.

In this kind of barren mountains and mountains, it is really enjoyable to be able to eat a pot of hot instant noodles when your stomach is rumbling after a hard morning's work.

"Brother, answer the phone! Brother, answer the phone! ”

Wang Ge just picked up the pot, when a sweet and glutinous phone rang like a coquettish, Wang Ge quickly put down the pot, pressed it quickly on the communication watch, and connected the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, the girl's penetrating cry was heard, exactly the same as the voice ringtone of the phone.

"Feifei, why are you crying?"

Wang Ge's heart tightened: "What's wrong?" ”

The call was from Wang Ge's sister Wang Fei.

Wang Ge's parents both left the West when he was in his first year of high school, leaving only the brother and sister to rely on each other.

As the only relative, Wang Fei is Wang Ge's sweetheart.

"No, brother, woo woo......" Wang Fei cried very excitedly: "I, I was admitted to Star University!" Woowoo woo ......"

"Really...... It's true?! Wang Ge stammered.

"It's Star University! It's Star University! Wang Fei excitedly called out the dolphin voice: "Ahhh ”

"I knew you were going to get in!" Wang Ge laughed arrogantly: "My sister is a genius girl in the Star War Department, and Star University dares not to admit my sister, it is definitely the principal who is blind, ahahaha......"

Star University is one of the nine top universities in the Earth Federation, and those who can be admitted to Star University and graduate successfully can basically obtain the qualification to immigrate to other administrative stars of the Earth Federation as an elite of the Federation.

Due to the heavy damage caused by the Third World War, the living environment of the earth is very harsh at present. Sandstorms, smog...... These environmental problems, which were serious to mankind hundreds of years ago, are completely insignificant compared to today's nuclear magnetic transformation and nuclear winter.

The Mercury natives, the Waters, are an ancient race that reveres nature, and if it weren't for the invasion of the earthlings, they might still be in a primitive society.

The Celestial Wisdom people from the Andromeda galaxy have developed their power in Jupiter with high technology far beyond the solar system, and have taken root here.

These two forces and the Earth Federation, which directly controls the three administrative stars of Earth, Venus, and Mars, have merged into the Solar System Alliance, in which the earthlings occupy a dominant position.

Almost all the officials and tycoons of the Earth Federation have emigrated to the bases of Venus and Mars, where the environment is comfortable, the technology is developed, and the material living conditions are superior, which is the utopia of the dreams of countless poor people.

"Brother, I was admitted to the Star Wars Department, and I was exempted from tuition!" The little sister's elated voice dimmed a little, and she said with a choked voice: "Brother, you don't have to work so hard now......"

"Whew, what are you talking about?" Wang Ge twisted the scientific research collection bag that almost fell off the cliff back into the cave, and said with a straight face: "What's so hard? The welfare of our construction team is good, the work is easy and safe......"

"Don't worry, Feifei, in the future, our rent, food, drink, living expenses, medical expenses and so on have already been settled!" Wang Ge pretended to smile lightly: "Okay, I won't tell you, my brother is going to continue to work, you just wait for my brother to come back at home!" Brother will reward you with gifts, hehe......"

Hanging up the phone, Wang Ge only felt that the whole person was fluttering, and pulled out the chopsticks inserted in the sterilization tank on the light energy pot with a smile, and drank a mouthful of instant noodle soup directly on the light energy pot.

"Incense! It smells so good! Wang Ge is in a good mood, and the instant noodles that he often eats seem to have a different taste today.

The temperature is just right now, Wang Ge is really hungry after a hard morning, and he put the noodles into his mouth in a few clicks like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

In the end, I drank the noodle soup in one go.

Wang Ge, who was full of food and drink, wiped his mouth and burped comfortably.

"Whew...... ......"Wang Ge suddenly felt very flustered, his breathing became heavy and short, and he covered his chest with his hands - what's wrong with me?"

"Knock-knock-knock......"

Wang Ge felt that his heartbeat sounded as if he was beating a drum, and the sound even shook his ears!

At first, he thought it was a psychological effect, but as the sound of his heartbeat became louder and louder, he peeled off the clothes on his chest and saw that the entire chest cavity was expanding and contracting with the sound of a violent heartbeat.

Wang Ge hurriedly tried to hold it down with his hand, but as soon as his hand was pressed on his chest, he was bounced away by a strong force!

At the same time, the temperature of his blood seemed to be rising, and at first his attention was on his heartbeat, although he felt hot all over his body, but he was not alarmed.

But when it came to him, he was so hot that his blood was like a flood that was about to break out of the embankment, oh no! It's magma!

Magma-like blood boiled in his veins, burning his skin as red as a boiled crab!

Even Wang Ge faintly heard the sound of magma surging, "booming" as if the tide of the Qiantang River was like rolling thunder.

It's hot! It hurts!

Oh no, is this the spontaneous combustion of the human body that has appeared in the news?

No, I'm going to die if I go on like this...... Wang Ge wanted to shout but couldn't, he leaned against the stone wall with difficulty and wanted to press the emergency alarm button on the communication watch, as long as he pressed it lightly, he could immediately connect to the nearest police station from here.

Even if you will be sentenced to prison for stealing medicinal herbs in the forbidden area, it is better than leaving your life behind.

But before he could press it, he passed out.

"Feifei ......"

Wang Ge closed his eyes weakly.
