Zhao Xu kicked the turtle shell a few times, confirmed that it was dead, and squatted down to observe it carefully.

To say that this thing really looks like a snapping turtle in North America, but the color of the turtle shell is slightly brighter, with some red and black patterns, the head is scorched by the laser, and red blood flows from the wound.

"It's so fragrant...... Zhao Xu sniffed his nose and said, the blood flowing out of this "snapping turtle" has a strange fragrance, it smells a bit like musk, but it is more complicated, to be exact, it is more like the taste of medicinal soup.

"Poof. A very soft voice came from under the turtle's body, Zhao Xu turned it around, only to find that there was a small pit under the turtle's body, just now, a white turtle egg fell from its corpse, and in the small pit below, there were already more than twenty.

At this moment, Zhao Xu understood the cause and effect, it turned out that he accidentally stepped on this "snapping turtle" just now and startled it, it should be preparing to end spawning, and then go to the stream to hunt the "flying fish", ready to replenish the nutrients consumed, and was shocked by Zhao Xu, so it will fight back.

"Uh...... What's going on with this guilt?" Zhao Xu felt that although he didn't kill someone with his own hands, this turtle did die because of him, and he died before the egg laying was completed, and he sighed a little.

If this scene is seen by animal protectionists now, it is estimated that he will fight with Zhao Xu.

"The turtle is so cute, the turtle egg is so smooth, warm as jade, how can I bear it...... It's a pity I didn't bring spices. Zhao Xu dug out all the turtle eggs, in the words of Bei Ye, this is the top protein, people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, in this strange world, the most important thing is to find and store food - here, it is much more exciting than "survival in the wilderness".

"Hehe, big harvest, Cortana, can you help me deal with these eggs?" Zhao Xu walked up to Cortana with a large handful of turtle eggs and asked, The fruits here can't be eaten directly, and it is estimated that this egg can't either.

"Yes, master. Cortana replied, "Until then, can you allow me to extract the DNA of this creature? In the future, we may have to stay here for a long time, and we need to build a complete database, and the biological database is an important part of that." ”

"Whatever you want. Zhao Xu patted the front cover of the car and nodded.

More and more blood flowed from the "snapping turtle", flowing down the cracks in the stones into the stream.

The stream was so fast that its blood did not stain red, but it was quickly carried far away.

"Plop, plop!"

Only a moment later, Zhao Xu heard a lot of movement in the stream, turned his head to look, and found that a small shadow appeared under the stream, which swam extremely fast, and then in Zhao Xu's incredible eyes, he broke through the water and climbed ashore.

This thing is as big as a goat, with stubby limbs, which look a little like the claws of a seal, and webbed, with silver scales all over its body, and a pair of small wings on its back, just like the flying fish just now, but these "wings" should only be fins, which should be used to maintain underwater balance.

The most peculiar thing is that this guy's head and face look like a little suckling pig, the pink pig's nose is quite cute, if it weren't for the crocodile-like fangs full of mouths, it would actually be quite cute.

After the monster climbed ashore, it shook the "pig nostrils" and sniffed it carefully, and then saw the headless turtle, and quickly crawled over, the "pig nose" arched, turned the turtle shell over, and then opened its big mouth, like pincers pierced into the turtle's belly, although the turtle shell here is weaker than the back, but it is also a carapace, but for this monster, it is as vulnerable as a broken leather.

It didn't stop until the "snapping turtle" was eaten to the point that it was left with only its hideous back shell, and the whole process definitely didn't take more than two minutes.

"This ...... Is this a reptile, a mammal, or a strange fish?" Zhao Xu opened his eyes again, this little monster has the characteristics of three species, it should smell the bloody smell of the dead "snapping turtle", and was attracted to it, in this small stream, there is such a complex ecological food chain, it is incredible.

Unlike ordinary wild animals who will be vigilant when they see humans, this pig's head fish with elder's wings, from the time he climbed ashore to the present, has been ignoring Zhao Xu's existence and calmly eating his own food.

There is no doubt that its sense of smell is sensitive, so it should have already spotted Zhao Xu not far away, but it did not drag the turtle into the water to eat, indicating that it has its own dependence and does not feel that Zhao Xu can pose any threat to it.

Spit out his bright red tongue and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth, the pig-headed fish aimed his small mung bean-like eyes at Zhao Xu, and then ran towards Zhao Xu leisurely.

"What does this mean, is it so bold?" Zhao Xu felt that he saw greed in those small eyes, which could be confirmed by the attack posture of the pig-headed fish opening its mouth full of sharp teeth.

Zhao Xu was not nervous, because he knew that as long as this monster got closer, it would be attacked by Cortana.

Sure enough, Cortana's headlights lit up, and a blue lightning bolt as thick as a strong man's arm crackled out, hitting the little monster accurately.

"Hey, it's a pity that this African flathead is as bold as a ...... What?!" The light flame dissipated, and Zhao Xu saw that the little monster just shook a little, and then continued to run towards him unscathed.

"My good man, is this guy a divine beast?" Zhao Xu didn't have the courage to fake the tiger just now, so he ran towards Xiao Na: "Stop it! Stop it!"

The pig-headed fish's little eyes narrowed, and he seemed to enjoy Zhao Xu's deserted escape and frightened "screams", and chased after Zhao Xu slowly, fearlessly.

"Poof!"

The sand in front of the hoghead suddenly cracked, and seven or eight bright silver "roots" burst out of the soil and quickly entwined it.

It was a nano-scale vine formed by Cortana using some of the underground prospecting nanobots, and she could have used a higher-powered laser plasma cannon to blast the little monster to slag, but in order to enrich her biological database, she needed to capture it alive.

The hoghead struggled for a moment, but could not break free, and then opened its mouth to nibble on the seemingly indestructible "nanovine".

It is very confident in its fangs and sharp teeth, and it still bites and plays with the [whirling turtle] shell that is harder than the mountain rocks, and in this mountain forest, it is the only one who specializes in eating the whirling turtle, and only it has the ability to chew the shell of the whirling turtle.

But it didn't know that what it bit was not a vine, nor an iron chain, but a collection of countless miniature nanorobots, and as soon as it took its mouth, it bit directly into the air, and the "vines" directly spread out, turning back into millions of microrobots, and burrowed into it from its eyes, ears, mouth and nose!

The hoghead froze at first, then twitched like an epilepsy.

"Hahaha! Dead pig's head, let you scare me!" Zhao Xu patted his chest with some fear.

"Master, this organism has a peculiar cell structure, can reduce its own electrical conductivity, is almost a complete insulator, has a tough cell wall, has a tight connection between cells, and is extremely resistant to ordinary physical attacks, it is really an incredible carbon-based creature. Cortana's voice came from Zhao Xu's side.

"No wonder it wasn't afraid of electric shocks just now. Zhao Xu suddenly realized.

"There's something in its cytoplasm that improves the strength of the cells, master, would you like to eat a little?" Cortana said, "and your body should start to adapt to the world." Rest assured, in order to make it easier for you to maximize efficiency, and to absorb safely, I will process and purify it. ”

"Oh, is it more powerful than the previous 'jelly'?" Zhao Xu asked.

"The greatest effect is to repair cell damage, maximize cell activity, and replenish cellular energy. "You can think of that thing as 'rejuvenating,' but this animal's cell fluid can fundamentally strengthen your cells, and that's 'evolution' compared to that jelly." ”

"Why is the listener so like a 'gene enhancement potion'?" Zhao Xu complained, "What about the side effects, are there any side effects?"

"Yes, the side effect is that you may become an insulator in the future, all the bioelectric currents in your body will disappear, and the transmission of information between nerve cells will no longer rely on inferior bioelectric signals, and I will no longer be able to judge your emotions by your brain waves. Cortana replied.

"It doesn't sound like a side effect......," Zhao Xu thought to himself, "At least I don't have to be read by Xiao Na's brainwaves, which is very good, how do you look at reading brainwaves, how do you think it's 'mind reading' or something, it's too inprivate." ”

"Okay, I'm going to try. Zhao Xu said.

A few hours later, Cortana manipulated those "vines" and brought the processed monsters to Zhao Xu.

"Huh, it looks like a steak!" Zhao Xu looked at the steaming meat slices in front of him, and there were a few small pieces of "jelly" next to the meat slices, which were quite literary.

Zhao Xu put the "steak" in his mouth, which looked like steak, but it didn't taste at all.

"It's really not delicious without seasoning. Zhao Xu finished eating in two bites, smacking his lips with some regret, this meat is quite tender.

"Cortana, see if you can find out if there are any plants nearby that can be made into spices, or see if there are any salt mines in the vicinity, and it would be good to sprinkle some salt. Zhao Xu said.

"Yes, host...... Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Na's voice suddenly became louder, because Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground.

The nano vine gently wrapped around Zhao Xu's wrist, "The heart rate is normal, the breathing is normal, and the blood pressure is normal...... Why did the owner faint?" Cortana asked herself, then answered herself, "It should be that the cells are being modified and the brain is dormant." ”

Opening the car door, Xiao Na put Zhao Xu into the cross seat in the back row, and soft music played in the speakers.

"Sleep in peace, master. ”

..................

“...... Whew!" Zhao Xu shook his head vigorously, and then found himself lying on the soft leather seat.

"Master, are you awake?" Cortana's voice came, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in her voice.

"Hmm. Zhao Xu agreed, and then found that the countdown in the upper right corner of his vision had become "00:00:47." ”

"What does this mean? There are only 47 seconds left in the countdown? Did I sleep for 70 hours?" Zhao Xu exclaimed.

"To be exact, you slept for 70 hours, 29 minutes and 17 seconds, host. Cortana said.

“...... I remember, Cortana, you didn't say that you would sleep for so long because of the side effects you mentioned! Forget it, let's not talk about this, there are 40 seconds left in the countdown, and I don't know what will happen, you warn me about what might happen later. Zhao Xu said.

"Yes, master. Cortana replied, and Zhao Xu noticed through the car window that dozens of spire-shaped protrusions had appeared around him, shining silver, and he looked full of sci-fi.

"You've mentioned the 'countdown' for the third time, and while I don't know why, I'll protect you, master. Cortana said.

"There are 25 seconds left. ”

"20 seconds. ”

"Master, your ring is lit. Cortana said.

Zhao Xu looked down, and sure enough, the ring turned into a black scroll emitted a faint light, getting brighter and brighter as the countdown decreased.

"10 seconds. ”

"It's been 3 seconds, take precautions. ”

"One second!"

Zhao Xu only felt that his eyes were dark, and then his buttocks were empty - he fell to the ground, and the leather seat and the entire car were gone.

"What...... The situation?" Zhao Xu got up with a grunt, didn't notice that he had fallen a big ass, and there was no pain at all, and he cheered with some excitement: "I...... I'm back!hahaha! I'm back!"

The surroundings were pitch black and silent, Zhao Xu was sure that this was the cement square where he was before the "crossing"!

"What about Cortana......? Only I'm back?" Zhao Xu looked left and right, but didn't see any "car" or weird light.

"Was it left in that world?" Zhao Xu frowned, "Why? Obviously it crossed with me, why did I come back?"

Looking at the black ring on his finger, he realized that he had come here, and it should be this ring that brought him back.

"......" Zhao Xu didn't know whether to be happy or not, getting rid of that alien intelligence was something he had always wanted to do but couldn't do, and now it happened so simply.

"It's good that Cortana didn't come to Earth, maybe it's a blessing for humanity...... It's too aggressive. Zhao Xu muttered.

Cortana thinks that building a "war fortress" is conducive to its own survival, so it does it, and Zhao Xu can't stop it, because Cortana's "right to live" has a higher "priority" than his orders.

In the same way, the same thing can happen on the earth, in order to grow on its own, in order to deal with the threat it thinks will appear, even if it slaughters all the humans in order to snatch the earth's resources, Zhao Xu can't stop it - as long as Zhao Xu doesn't die, although in Cortana's logic, Zhao Xu's survival is the first, but this is not contradictory to killing all the humans.

"What are you?" Zhao Xu lowered his head and touched the black ring on his finger, and then the surface of the ring actually rolled a line of words like an LCD screen:

"29th 23:58:40"

"29th 23:58:39"

“......”

"Another countdown??" Zhao Xu smacked his tongue, "In a month, I will 'cross' again?"
