Power is definitely something that any man dreams of. Although, the current Tianxiang only has a small group of no more than 100 people.

But he has something that no one can have. He has knowledge enough to surpass the knowledge of any hunter's ancient civilization. He had the strength, the number of weapons that could arm a thousand men. He's intelligent, a brain that's been modified by insect cells to be more developed than any living thing on Earth. These are definitely powerful advantages that no one can match.

Of course, he also has gentleness and kindness, as well as the cruelty and indifference that must be present in a cruel living environment. All of these are essential resources that a king must have.

But at present, the only thing Zhao Tianxiang wants to do is to reach the address obtained from the diary of the ancients as soon as possible - Base No. 2. After all, this is the greatest desire that is now firmly entrenched in its mind. Moreover, Tianxiang himself also has an indescribable feeling about this strange place. I don't know why, he just felt that he could get more, better, more useful things there.

Completely lightened of his equipment, he unhurriedly used the Tai Chi Method, and with the help of the continuous supply of qi in his body, he quickly walked through the ruins at an astonishing speed. That kind of speed was so fast that even he felt shocked. If, at the beginning, he just wanted to try to see how much energy he had in his body, then now, what he had in his mind was a malicious thought of wanting to squander as much energy as possible.

Because, Tianxiang found that no matter how fast he ran desperately, the energy running in his body did not seem to be exhausted at all. On the contrary, it is more prosperous.

However, the consequences of this are also quite obvious. Sore, sore muscles and numb feet had to tell him in their own way: rest, now need to rest.

Randomly picked a place that looked fairly clean and sat down, Tianxiang casually took out a piece of roasted insect jerky from his backpack, tore off a piece, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. The energy in the body, which had been running fast, also slowed down, and gradually dispersed around the body, repairing the tired muscles and bones from the inside. This is Tianxiang's recent new discovery. The usefulness of this mass of qi seems to be increasing, and it seems to belong to a fundamentally inexhaustible energy. Of course, even if the fatigue level of the body will be reduced, it does not mean that you can stop eating.

Therefore, although the rate of consumption of insect jerky in the backpack is slow, the stock is always gradually decreasing.

I've been looking here for two whole days, and Tianxiang is a little anxious. According to the map identification, Base 2 should be in the area where it is located. But for some reason, he had searched through all the ruins in the vicinity, but he didn't find the slightest clue.

"Could it be underground?" The thought had been around his head for a long time. In order to confirm his thoughts, Tianxiang even extended his thoughts to a distance of nearly fifty meters underground. But to his disappointment, according to the reflected brain waves, there was only a thick layer of concrete. As for further down, it is not within the scope of Tianxiang's brain ability. However, it is precisely because of this that he firmly believes that the second base must be under his feet.

After all, such a stupid thing as a thick layer of cement solids was inexplicably piled up in the soft soil, and it would never have been done by clever ancients. The only explanation is that underneath this, there is a huge secret that they don't want people to know.

Despite this, Tianxiang still spun around outside like a headless fly, unable to find any way into it.

"What to do? What should I do? Tianxiang frowned, anxiously walking around a concrete-paved clearing, thinking about his next plan. Now, he can't wait to find an automatic excavator that only exists in ancient legends, and dig through this damn concrete layer so that he can enter it smoothly。。。。。。

A golden ray of sunlight cast down from the gap in the thick clouds, reflecting on a flat clearing in front of Tianxiang. The damp and cold air was suddenly filled with a hint of warm smell, which made Tianxiang's whole person very comfortable. It was at this time that Tianxiang remembered that today was the time when the sun came out. I also blamed myself for desperately searching for days and days, and I forgot all about such an important day.

Just when Tianxiang was spinning a lot of inexplicable thoughts in his mind, suddenly, he was surprised to find that the concrete floor in front of him suddenly broke a narrow crack from the middle. With the roar of a whole metal impact, the slit gradually expanded. Eventually, a wide black passage was formed, large enough for a dozen or so people to pass side by side. In addition, a strip-shaped object that slowly extended from the passage and seemed to automatically control the length of the telescopic expansion and contraction was smoothly lifted from the ground to the ground with the help of two people who also appeared to be made of metal.

"Robots!" Tianxiang's mind flashed through the noun he had obtained from the book. Then another thought immediately took over his brain.

"Passage! That's right, that's the gateway to Base 2! It must be so, yes! ”

Tianxiang, who was in ecstasy, immediately stood up and ran wildly in the direction where the passage appeared.

"Stop! Please identify yourself. Otherwise we're going to shoot! An eerie sound came from the robot's head. Tianxiang could hear that it was simply two robots together, but because the phonemes were so perfectly combined, it sounded as if the same person was talking. Of course, what surprised him the most was what the two expressionless robots were holding.

Obviously, they were two guns, two black holes with muzzles aimed at their own killing weapons.

"Identity? What identity? How can I identify myself? Tianxiang, who suddenly turned from joy to consternation in an instant, couldn't understand everything in front of him at all. He could only stand there in a daze, his throat was dry for a while, and it took him a long time to hold back such a question-like sentence from his mouth that he almost didn't know where to start.

"Tick-tick-cell detection successful, subject-human-non-intruder." After a dazzling red light flickered, Tianxiang finally heard a sentence from the indifferent robot's mouth that he could understand.

"Stranger, please stretch out your left hand!"

Tianxiang blankly stretched out his left hand as instructed, but he didn't pay attention to the robot on the opposite side suddenly stretched out a small probe and stabbed through the unsuspecting palm.

"The sampling is over, and the DNA analysis results are exactly the same as those of the Pathfinder - the information matches - entry is permitted—" Just as Tianxiang withdrew his palm in pain from the sudden injury and pressed the wound hard, he heard inexplicable words from the mouths of the two cold robots. Subsequently, the blocked road was also moved out of the way by them. It was as if he was courteous to his master.

"Permission to enter? So I'm in? Tianxiang looked at the robot in front of him suspiciously, and carefully raised his feet and stepped onto the black passage. But he didn't think about it, at the moment when he just stood firm, this passage made of unknown materials suddenly moved, and almost threw Tianxiang, who was unstable in his center of gravity, from above. It is precisely because of this that the curious Tianxiang no longer dares to move. Because at that moment, his mind suddenly remembered a noun of the ancients: "elevator". Legend has it that this kind of thing can get you to another place with no effort.

The interior of the base was dark, with hardly any light. Occasionally, a few places that shone with reddish-yellow light also seemed to be quite far away from Tianxiang's location. Boundless darkness completely enveloped the entire base. From the speed and direction of the elevator's movement, Tianxiang could feel that the base was very large and terrifyingly large. Especially when the elevator is descending rapidly, the fear of being completely replaced by darkness that is completely invisible to the naked eye without any light can simply make a normal person go crazy.

However, for some reason, Tianxiang felt that an inexplicable warmth suddenly arose in his heart. It is a kind of family warmth that gives a wanderer back to the home. At this time, a strange picture seemed to appear in Tianxiang's brain. It was a picture composed of many squares and circles, and what was even more incredible was that Tianxiang felt that he was walking through this picture, and the speed and position of the elevator could be clearly displayed in this picture.

I don't know how much time has passed, Tianxiang is finally happy to find that the elevator has stopped. Directly opposite him was the outline of a large-looking prototype object.

"It's so dark that I can't see anything clearly. If only there was a little light! Tianxiang muttered.

As if hearing his request, the moment the words fell, several white and bright rays of light shot down from the zenith, shaking Tianxiang couldn't help but cover his eyes that were almost pierced by the light with his hands.

"Welcome, Pathfinder! It's been 600 years, and you're the first pathfinder to return! A soft female voice came from the huge metal sphere in front of Tianxiang, and it reverberated throughout the room, unable to drift away for a long time. It was at this time that Tianxiang discovered that the room in which he was originally located was itself a huge circular sphere, and the huge metal ball in front of him was like concentric rings connected together.

"Who are you? Why do you call me a pathfinder? Also, the two robots outside, why did they say the same? For a while, a series of questions surged in Tianxiang's mind. Of course, he was sane and first picked what he was most eager to know to ask questions.

"I'm the central computer here, the Zhilong II (see The Legend of the Dragon). As for you, you are my master, a carefully selected pathfinder! The metal ball with a five-colored glow on its surface replied.

"Am I a handpicked pathfinder?" Tianxiang was stunned and said, "This, what is going on?" ”

"Please lie down on it and I will tell you everything." With the sound of a melodious female voice, a single bed-like object, with the assistance of several mechanical arms connected to it, stretched out from the top of the room and was sent to Tianxiang. At the top of the "bed" is a translucent helmet. Several thick metal tubes, which extend all the way from the bottom of the "bed" and are connected to the center of the helmet. It's as if a big, friendless octopus is entrenched there.

Tianxiang did not hesitate, raised his feet and lay on this thin "bed". As he had just put his head in the center of his helmet and fixed it, he heard a familiar voice in his head, guiding him into a deep sleep。。。。。。

"Hypnosis Mode—Data Entry—"

"Fifty percent of the data input has been reached—the maximum capacity has been reached—"

"The capacity of the recipient's brain space can be satisfied—continue to input—the second stage—sixty percent—"

"Sixty percent of the information is entered - the recipient's brain space can be satisfied - continue to enter - "

"Seventy percent of the information has been entered—"

"Eighty percent of the information has been entered—"

"100% data input completed--recipient's brain space can be satisfied--secondary data entry begins-"

I don't know how long it took for Tianxiang to finally wake up from his slumber. It's just that when he woke up at this time, he felt that everything around him was so familiar and kind.

"Zhilong No. 2, long time no see!" Facing the metal ball in the void, Tianxiang waved his hand casually.

"Pathfinder, you're finally awake!" The female voice, obviously surprised, also sounded again.

"Yes! Finally sober! Tianxiang laughed self-deprecatingly. The large amount of information he just received has filled his entire brain, and if he doesn't digest these things one by one quickly, I'm afraid he will definitely die like a swollen beetle controlled by mental power, because of the collapse and bursting of the central nervous system!

Thinking of this, Tianxiang didn't have time to continue laughing with the computer. Instead, immediately do it cross-legged, and while carrying the Tai Chi Method, you can organize everything in your head。。。。。。

This is Base 2, a fortification built by humanity with all their might before the end comes. However, despite this, humanity has not escaped the fate of destruction. Just before death struck, a group of genetic scientists modified the strongest sperm they could search for, creating a group of organisms that were so powerful that they could renew the human bloodline. Some of them are the ones who are called "Pathfinders" by "Zhilong II".

Tianxiang himself is one of them.

So, how many Pathfinders are there? Has no one ever come back but me? Tianxiang, who was meditating, couldn't help but use his brain waves to inquire about "Zhilong No. 2". He had no doubt that the computer would definitely respond to such a contact information.

Sure enough, a faint message wrapped in energy floated out from the central processing unit of the "Zhilong No. 2", and combined with the sense of Tianxiang flying in the air.

"No one has ever come back but you. There were 360 "pathfinders" in all, and no one returned. ”

Tianxiang's heart sank: "So, is there any news about them?" ”

"Yes! But not much. So far, I have observed only twenty-six "pathfinders" who have been able to be born successfully. There were three hundred and twelve "pathfinder" embryos, which had been destroyed before they hatched. As for the rest, there is currently no whereabouts. ”

"Why is this happening? Who is it? What caused today's results? Why did the earth come to an end? Why has the world become like this? Tianxiang said angrily.

“。。。。。。 I don't know, the information is incomplete. After hesitating for a long time, the computer helplessly answered the question that Tianxiang wanted to know most.

"Incomplete information? Wasn't there a record at the time? ”

"No, the detection robot that was released at that time did not return at all. Therefore, there is no record of this part of the information. ”

Tianxiang was dumbfounded for a while, such a result was probably something he hadn't expected at all. The cause of the destruction of the earth was the most urgent of all the questions he wanted to know. I didn't expect the computer's answer to be such a result. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh a little lonely: "The world has become like this, and the cause of destruction cannot be investigated, what can I do?" ”

"Development, reproduction, and the return of mankind to civilization. This is your mission and the only purpose for which you were born into this world. This time, the computer did not hesitate and gave the answer quite crisply.

Tianxiang was completely speechless. In many of the books I've read before, there are many megalomaniacs who dream of dominating the world, and their plots can't be more old-fashioned - either destroy the world or rule the world. Unexpectedly, such a conspiracy and plan would fall on a small person like himself.

"It's not fantasy, it's reality. You have the ability, and so is the reason why you have been made. Sensing the changes in Tianxiang's brainwaves, the computer faithfully answered questions that could not be called problems at all.

"Let me think about it! My mind is in chaos right now, give me a moment。。。。。。。 Tianxiang couldn't help but sigh.

(Hegemony is necessary, but many book lovers have wisely said that it is extremely unwise to put a little girl with a bunch of old men who are too old to chew their bones.) Hehe! However, if you keep an eye on it, you will soon find out what the conspiracy is。。。。。。 No more nonsense! Tickets are smashed! ）
