The cells under the lens continue to change their shape. They have devoured all the blood cells, and their whole body has become reddish and partially enlarged. At this time, Tianxiang also noticed that these unknown strange cells, and their bodies began to show inexplicable depressions......

This was a precursor to the beginning of preparations for splitting, but Tianxiang didn't expect them to split so quickly and so madly. The division of cells is usually a cyclical process from one to two, then to four, four to eight. From a small protocell, it can expand to tens of thousands or more, of course, this is just a theory of cell division in ancient biological science, which has not been effectively tested. After all, cells, like humans, need a lot of energy and sufficient nutrients to support them in the process of survival. During this division process, it is naturally impossible for cells that age to continue to reproduce indefinitely. Although division is the basic method of cell reproduction, it is naturally impossible for aging cells to continue to reproduce together. Although division is the basic way of cell reproduction, and new cells are certainly more energetic than old cells, no matter how the cell divides, it will eventually age and die, and because of this, the number of cell populations will be controlled within a more appropriate number. After all, cells are also a type of living organism, and they also need to survive. In the case of insufficient energy and nutrients, the number of splits is naturally not very large. This is based on the same principle that people need food to survive. However, under the microscope, this strange cell doesn't seem to care about that. They only split wildly, as if that little bit of blood was giving them endless power. Within tens of seconds, the nascent cell body was crowded with almost the entire sheet of glass. And they continue to split, densely and overwhelmingly. Soon. The stacked cells have been repeatedly thickened to the point where the light cannot penetrate, and the glass under the lens has gradually changed from yellowish to slightly black, and finally completely blocked by the crazy growth of a large number of cells, turning into a blurry film that cannot be seen clearly. Tianxiang gently rubbed his eyes and reached out to take out the slice from under the lens. Between. The thin layer of cells had turned into a yellowish mass of several centimeters thick under the intense growth length. Look. Viscous and semi-coagulated. A fishy smell is emitted.

Maybe the division is over, or maybe they're full. When the Medic again poured blood into the slices that had stopped splitting, they showed no more movement. It seems that something that a few minutes ago was enough to drive them crazy is now an unappetizing thing for them. It's like an all-you-can-eat person who never wants to look at food again. "It feels like a phagocyte, but the shape of the cell is completely different from the way it divides. What exactly is this? Looking at this strange and inexplicable mass of material in front of him, Tianxiang couldn't help frowning.

"Patriarch. Those soldiers...... What should I do? The doctor asked boldly after a long time. Dispose? What do you mean? Tianxiang was a little puzzled.

"Their lives are fine. But you've also seen this thing, I'm afraid it's some kind of virus variant with extreme vitality. In this sense, they have actually been infected. If this continues、、、、、、 I'm afraid 、、、、、、 other people 、、、、、、"

The medical officer's words were not finished. However, it was enough for Tianxiang to understand the meaning. "What kind of lesions can this cell cause? Have you found out? ”

"Not yet. You know, field medical equipment is just prepared for salvage, and there is no research capability at all. However, as it stands, it seems that these cells prefer to live with blood. It's just that I don't understand. Why do they show two different attitudes towards the blood......""Isolate them all. A transport plane was immediately prepared to transport two of them back to Dragon City immediately. The research conditions there are much better than here, and perhaps the reason for this can be found. ”

"So do you need to leave a sample of this kind of cell?"

"You can make six archives. It will be handed over to the next group of airlift troops returning to Liaodu to bring back. Remember, this must not spread. All those in the know must maintain strict confidentiality. "Six heavy transport helicopters are neatly parked on a flat piece of ground poured with cement in the basin. The long and flattened blades fall in all directions. It's like a dragonfly resting on the tip of a tree with its wings hanging diagonally. However, in terms of appearance alone, the language has changed considerably from their ancient companions. Compared to their predecessors, they have a more rounded and smooth appearance, and their lines are more perfect. From a distance, it looks like six long, flat eggs with propellers lying there quietly waiting to hatch...... The appearance of such helicopters is entirely due to the wind of war. Educated by the No. 2 computer, he quickly selected the helicopter drawings that best suited long-range transportation from a large number of aircraft. After a series of improvements and tests, it finally evolved into what it is today. Although it may seem a little strange, in terms of specific performance, it is not inferior to any similar product made by the ancients. It's just that due to the limitations of Dragon City's industrial power, the number of such aircraft manufactured is not large. In Tianxiang's words: "Production can only serve the manufacture of the most urgently needed things." ”

Two soldiers lying in emergency beds have already been put on the plane. A heavily armed combat squad is the one that escorts all their members. Of course, they were accompanied by a carefully sealed military briefcase. Tianxiang repeatedly told the captain to escort the captain to hand over this thing to Qin Guang by hand. After personally explaining and arranging all this, Tianxiang rubbed his tired and dry eyes, and walked straight towards the tent where the other two wounded people were.

According to the doctor's orders, this place has been quarantined. Heavily armed guards prevented everyone who wanted to visit them. Although some people are dissatisfied with this, the phrase "patients need to rest" can be extremely persuasive at any time.

It's just that this kind of obstruction is not suitable for Tianxiang. In fact, no one could refuse the request of the Great Patriarch. The two soldiers are still unconscious. The medics and ambulances were nervously and carefully watching for every slight change in their bodies. After all, in a way, their life is no longer in trouble. But that doesn't mean they're safe.

"How's it going?" Tianxiang waved his hand to stop the medical officer's salute and asked softly.

"It's not very good." The medical officer frowned and stepped out of the way, "You'd better come and see for yourself." "The soldier's body was covered with bandages. Compared to the faint red of the previous day, the new bandage revealed a whiteness that made people feel extremely peaceful. Merely. The number of bandages and the fact that they covered the soldiers' bodies made them look a little funny. It's like two silkworm moths lying in a cocoon.

The medic leaned down and untied the bandage on a soldier's arm, and the scarred skin gradually revealed its true face as the thickness of the white gauze gradually decreased...... Scars are familiar to every hunter. Tianxiang is no exception, and he who has fought countless battles with insects will naturally not be unfamiliar with this. It's just that when he first looked at the cleansed soldier's body, he was involuntarily attracted by the strange wound.

The wound of the human body will bleed, and the platelets in the blood will form a tight protective wall at the wound in order to block the hole in the blood outflow, and in this way organize the blood outflow, which is also the reason for the formation of scars after the blood clot on the surface of the wound. However, this most basic theory could not be embodied in this soldier at all. Because there were no black or red blood clots visible at all in those open wounds. There is knowledge of the kind of yellowish cell dividers that are scattered with a slight fish. It's like fat coming out of the body. Cover the wound tightly.

The place to untie the bandage is the soldier's right hand. Starting from the palm at the tip to the shoulder at the top, there were a large number of small strip-like wounds on the shoulder, which are now all gone. In its place, strips of yellowish substance spilled over the surface of the body. At first glance, it looked like a new type of wound application that grazed his entire arm. "It's not just the body here, it's the rest of the body." The medical officer sighed and motioned for the first responder to rewrap the bandage before turning to Tianxiang: "It's strange that his body is not showing any discomfort. His heartbeat and pulse were normal, and it felt like he hadn't been hurt at all. Now it's just like sleeping. ”

"How can weird cells be ...... like this"

Looking at the two sleeping soldiers, Tianxiang couldn't help but fold his arms and fall into deep thought...... Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the tent. With a few short whispers and the sound of Sissoul drapes pulling, Tianxiang's personal guard's resolute and somewhat anxious face appeared in front of everyone.

"The patriarch has a situation. The guards to the north are now approaching in a suspicious group. ”

"How many are there?" Tianxiang asked lightly. "It was too dark to see all the numbers. It is estimated that it should be around a hundred. ”

"A hundred? What do they want to do? Tianxiang said to himself: "It's really a little inexplicable. ”

"The other party's movements are indeed a bit strange." The guard officer added; "They didn't show their guns or shells, and they didn't do anything good. However, it seems that there is no malice in their actions. "Let's go! Look at it. Tianxiang thought for a moment and walked straight out of the door.

The guards stationed in the north had a total of five squads observing the enemy's movements from five directions. These elite soldiers take their tasks quite carefully. It's just that when Tian Xiang was waiting for the guard officer to lead him to the guard observation point, he was surprised to see that the faces of all the guards showed a kind of anxiety and frustration that should not have been. "We have lost our purpose. A squad leader saluted the people who came over, and said helplessly: "Two minutes ago, the target suddenly disappeared, and until now, we have not seen their shadows. ”

"Disappear?" Tianxiang was taken aback: "How did they disappear?" ”

"I don't know exactly what happened. In a word. I've seen them disappear into thin air...... I will never forget that scene in my life. "Out of thin air? How is this possible? The guard officer exclaimed in amazement.

I, I'm not lying. That's what it is, and if you don't believe it, you can ask other people. The captain's face flushed.

Tianxiang stepped forward and motioned to the somewhat agitated guard officer not to speak. He continued, "Tell me what the process was like?" "I don't know what to say." Tianxiang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Could it be that you didn't see their movements clearly because of other things?" ”“…… It's a forest. The captain of the guard thought for a moment and added, "But the time that obscures our view is only a few seconds. But. The searchers haven't seen any of them since then. ”

"Are you sure?" Tianxiang frowned, if the truth is really as the captain said, then I'm afraid things won't be as simple as he thought.

The other man nodded affirmatively. "How is this possible? I can't even detect the feeling of thinking? ”

"That's ...... true"

Tianxiang was stunned, as a person with a sixth sense, he knew very well how accurate the detection of the mind senses was. This is because what is observed with the naked eye must be affected by light and obstructions. Especially in certain occasions, the refracted light tends to change the shape and volume of things. It may even be hidden. Many of the invisible results that ancient scientists have studied are based on this foundation. However, the way of detecting the sense of thought is fundamentally different from that of the naked eye. This is an exploratory behavior that relies on the perception ability of one's own brain, and the degree of accuracy and reliability is far beyond the naked eye. It will not be blocked by terrain or light constraints, nor will it fail due to changes in the amateur. Once locked, unless the other party can use the same ability they possess to eliminate the intrusion of this kind of thought fluctuations, and achieve the existence of concealing their own energy. There is simply no second way to work. Because until now, all of Tianxiang's thinking and sensing explorations have never failed Chidi's precedent. This is the most fundamental reason why he is trying to promote the detection of consciousness among the more evolved people.

But now some people say that this method is ineffective. How could this not surprise him? After a moment of nervous thought, he spoke again.

"Did your search start from the beginning or after the other person disappeared?" This question is extremely important. As expected, the captain's answer dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"It started after they were gone, because by that time they could no longer be seen......"

"No wonder!" Tianxiang sighed in his heart and then asked, "So is there anything else that the thoughts released have appeared after searching that area?" "Something else?" The captain said: "Somewhere else...... There is no energy that seems to be there without any signs of human existence. Even the slightest fluctuation didn't ......"

"I didn't say it was human," Tianxiang shook his head and patiently explained, "I'm asking if there are any traces of other creatures in that area besides humans?" ”

"Absolutely." The captain of the guard hurriedly said: "There are a large number of insects moving there, but there is no one. "Bugs?" Tianxiang's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise: "Show me where they disappeared?" ”

Following the guide, it is easy to see a sparse wood. The captain of the guard was right, there was indeed no sign of human existence there, but under the sense of thought, Tianxiang "saw" something more terrifying.

Bugs: Bugs in large numbers, bugs packed together. They swarm together and cover the narrow ground of the grove...... Strictly speaking, the number of these bugs is not very large, at best, only hundreds. It's just that when they are crowded in this area, the scene of dense waves is enough to make anyone who looks at it feel a tingling scalp. It's not just there that there are such a swarm of weird bugs in every hidden corner of the hills around the basin. They seem to want to hide their tracks. Undetected by wandering human vigilantes
