Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Road Ahead

When Qi Yuhang returned to the airport, everyone was waiting for us around the dining table, and the sumptuous dinner prepared by Uncle Bao was full of aroma, this is the feeling of home, everyone's face is a cheerful smile, everyone cares about each other, only here is the real warm home, no, it should be said that as long as my family is there, everywhere is such a warm home.

But in the next two days, Wen Na and Qi Yuhang both turned into workaholics, Wen Na and I had the most intimate contact with me after the attempt to draw blood for me and cut off a handful of my hair that I had grown so hard, but everyone here was treated the same, either blood was drawn or hair was cut, and even Mu Di was not spared, zuihou I remembered that there were two handfuls of zombie hair, which were also handed over to Wen Na, so Wen Na happily rushed into the makeshift laboratory with a bunch of shiyan samples, Locked herself up for two days, except for food and convenience, she didn't come out at all.

Qi Yuhang moved his machine tool to the aircraft repair workshop, and then there were bursts of sparks flying inside, and the roar of the machine was even more unaware, Lu Fengqiu, a little unlucky bastard, was ruthlessly caught by Qi Yuhang because of his excellent welding skills, and he didn't even have a chance to object, the only condition for preferential treatment was that he could come out in the middle of the night to rest for a few hours, but the rest time was not fixed, as long as Qi Yuhang was in need, he would be dragged out like a dead dog to do coolies, That kind of pain really can't be described as miserable.

I can only take the rest of the people to train hard every day, and now the training is not only for adults to participate, but also for Lele and Chen Xin, but the intensity of the two of them is much smaller, and the main focus is on skills, but the two children are also very hard-working, Chen Xin as a physical evolutionary Although he is only ten years old, Liliang is already very amazing, at least stronger than those ordinary adult strongmen, I guess if he is the same rank as me when he becomes an adult, Liliang will definitely be bigger than me.

As for Lele, a naughty little girl, although Liliang does not have an advantage, but she uses her own ability to develop a very confusing tactic, which we call "shapeshifting phantoms" is that when attacking, Lele will conjure up several of her own phantoms, attacking from different directions, although this kind of little trick is useless to me and Paulin like second- and third-order evolutionaries now, but it is easy to deal with first-order evolutionaries like Chen Xin and Lu Fengqiu, and how big is this girl, Younger than Chen Xin, I don't know how far I can go against the sky when I grow up, or how to say it, the future belongs to young people, looking at these two little guys, I have a feeling that the years are like knives.

Two days later, Wen Na finally finished her research work, and all of us were left in the command hall of the tower after dinner, Wen Na stood in front of us with a tired face, and we were eager to know her research results, after all, we only know how to go on when we see the road ahead, otherwise we can only grope in the dark until we step into the abyss, and Wen Na is our eyes to explore the way forward.

"I have a general understanding of the current situation through two days of experiments, and now I will inform you about it." After speaking, Wen Na motioned to Qi Yuhang to turn off the lights and turn on the projector, Wen Na took out a test tube from her pocket, which seemed to be filled with water, Wen Na showed us the test tube and said: "This test tube is the rainwater I have preserved, I found an unprecedented species in the rain, although this is just a virus-like thing, but it reveals the cause of this catastrophe for us." ”

After Wen Na finished speaking, she called up a picture, the picture is a very strange thing, similar to a six-sided crystal, the whole is smooth and angular, but there is a tentacle on each crystal face, a very strange thing, Wen Na explained: "This is the unknown species I observed in the rain, its main function is to promote our genetic evolution, of course, if it fails, people will become zombies, so it is difficult to define this kind of thing now, it should be beneficial to human beings but it is also it that destroys the entire human civilization." ”

Wen Na paused for a moment and continued: "Now it is certain that it will not only strengthen our genes and the zombies, but also strengthen itself, so there will be a situation where we will evolve collectively, but it is safe to rest assured that this kind of thing will not have too serious an impact on us now, that is to say, after this forced evolution, we have immunity to this kind of thing, well, let's call it a virus, so now we are safe." ”

I frowned and asked, "If this virus mutates again, can it threaten us again?" ”

Wen Na nodded and said: "Theoretically, yes, because this virus is not harmful to humans, but to strengthen humans, so we can't prevent it, we can only observe its mutation cycle and control the intake when it mutates, I think as long as we can control the intake, it will be fine, and it will also play a very role in our evolution." ”

"Since it's good for humans, what about Weishenme turning so many people into zombies?" Lu Fengqiu asked very bluntly.

Wen Na thought for a moment and said: "For example, in the past, the vaccine we injected was a virus that weakened its power, and the vast majority of people would benefit from the vaccine, but there would also be people who would get sick because of the vaccine, and now the situation is like this, a virus that is beneficial to human beings has appeared, but some people have become victims because they can't resist it, in fact, according to my observation and estimate, the initial number of people who have the disease accounts for about one-third of the total number of human beings, but its transmission speed and way are extremely special, This led to the destruction of humanity. ”

We are all nodding our heads, but the situation is also the case, the vast majority of people are attacked after the outbreak of the disaster and turned into zombies, if the transmission route of this virus is not so special and violent, then after the loss of one-third of the population, human beings will usher in a new period of development, but the fact is that the initial onset of people destroyed the entire human society, and now we know that the number of human beings is no more than fifty, but I don't know how many people are in which power station, maybe the remaining human beings will only develop when they gather, right?

"And what about the emergence of this virus in Weishenme? Is it naturally occurring or man-made? Liu Xu asked a very critical question.

Wen Na shook her head slightly and said, "I can't answer this point definitively yet, but with the current situation, the possibility of artificially creating this virus is very small. ”

Liu Xu frowned and asked eagerly, "Weishenme said that?" ”

Wen Na said: "Because, the outbreak of the disaster is global, and the time of the outbreak is also the same, if it is artificially created, such a huge number of viruses and rapid dispersal means are not something that any country can complete independently, and this virus is not only for humans, it can be said that it is aimed at all animals living on the earth, in my cognition, no individual, organization or country has such capabilities." ”

"So it's a natural disaster? But Weishenme could such a thing happen? Pauline asked reluctantly.

Wen Na said helplessly: "There have been five mass extinctions in the history of the development of the earth, and this time we may catch up with the sixth, and I can predict that this mass extinction is likely to be accompanied by an unprecedented species explosion, you must know that this virus is destroying species while also transforming species, maybe many lower organisms will get great benefits in this crisis, so that the species on the earth will get a huge and complete change." ”

Listening to Wen Na's words, I couldn't help but say worriedly: "Are you saying that this is just the beginning, and we may face more unpredictable dangers in the future?" ”

Wen Na nodded and said: "That's the case, no matter what animal is zombified, it proves that its evolution has failed, and this failure will disappear sooner or later, what we really need to worry about is those species that have successfully evolved, maybe a small thing that was negligible in the past will be a huge threat to our survival in the future." ”

"According to what you say, it's a matter of time before we're finished, so what's the matter?" Uncle Bao smacked his lips.

"What can you do, living a day is a day." Lu Fengqiu followed the weak Dao, and their words made some people fall into a pessimistic mood, and a look of despair appeared on everyone's faces to a greater or lesser extent.

I stood up and said loudly, "Did humanity have such a great civilization in the first place?" From drinking blood to having an unparalleled great civilization, human beings have gone through millions of years of hard time, and now we think that we have retreated to the primitive society, what we have to do is to survive and develop, this is our mission, the mission given by God. ”

"But how do we develop?" Qi Yuhang said weakly.

I smiled and said, "Isn't there still a place called a human settlement, wait for three more days, whether Rocky will come or not, we will start to explore that settlement, if we can, we will also join in, after all, there are many people, and it is also conducive to development." Everyone nodded their heads when they heard my words, and their spirits recovered a lot.

I suddenly remembered that Qi Yuhang, this kid, didn't care about anything these days, knew that he was stuffy in the workshop, and he didn't know what to do, so I asked, "Yuhang, what have you and Xiao Lu been doing in the past two days?" ”

Qi Yuhang smiled proudly: "I won't tell you now, wait for the things to come out in two days, and then surprise you." "I can't control too much at this moment, and since he has said so, I won't ask too much, so everyone has dispersed to rest.

Originally, everything was on the right track, but when I went to sleep at night, I had a dream, dreaming of a hydropower station, a huge dam and a vast lake, the picture in the dream was sometimes fixed, sometimes flickering, and I was also sleeping, waking up and waking up to hear a voice let me go, maybe this is just a kind of my own heart, but everything is so clear, clear as if I was in that place, I want to wake up but I can't move, I can't speak, this feeling is like being bound by something, Even though I struggled as hard as I could, I regained control of my body when I knew that the sensation was suddenly gone, and I was already sweating profusely, sitting up suddenly, gasping for air, I hadn't been so embarrassed for a long time, but the dream situation remained in my mind very clearly.

What a strange dream, weishenme would have such a dream? I wiped the sweat from my body briefly, calmed down and thought to myself, and when my mood stabilized, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes, adjusting my breathing so that I could sleep peacefully, and suddenly I remembered something, and sat up violently again.

"A voice always told me to go in this direction, and I didn't expect to run into you." Luo Ao's words came to my mind, and I thought he was joking at the time, but now the situation makes me have to believe that what he said may be true, but what is controlling us? weishenme didn't feel like this before?

I stood up and walked to the window, looking at the stars in the sky, the future may be more terrifying and difficult, but I must use my hands to tear apart all obstacles and create a future that is truly my own.
