On the train to the province of the River Valley, Dora and the little koala lay by the window and excitedly watched the ever-changing scenery outside the window, and the former's nose wanted to poke into the window.

From scenic oases to castles blending in with the mountains to endless deserts, she saw beautiful landscapes like she had never seen before.

The surprise and excitement on her face were not inferior to when she first saw the sea.

"The world...... It's huge! ”

The excitement that can't be said in a thousand words is left with only this one sentence on his lips.

Repeating in her mouth, Dora was only extremely glad in her heart, and she had unswervingly chosen to follow the ancestor to heaven together.

Although it is a little lonely to never see her family again, she can see these scenery that she will never see in her life, and she always feels that even if she dies tomorrow, she will have no regrets.

The inhabitants of the forest don't care about the length of life.

In the culture of the Dom people, how long a person can live is determined from the day they are born, and those born in the tree of Insov will eventually return to the tree in another form.

Same with Dora.

One day more than 200 years ago, the little koala was born hastily for the first time.

Its surprise was no less than that of Dora, and said in a broken voice.

"I see, is this the planet where my father lived......"

"Luoxia Province? It's not the same as the one in the database, which is an endless stretch of automated farmland and irrigation systems...... Such a large area has turned into a desert, and I wonder what the situation is like with the ocean current pipes underground. ”

It seems that a lot has happened in the space of two hundred years.

For it, it was just a sleep......

in the same carriage.

Night Ten and the white dove sat opposite each other.

At this moment, the bandage around the latter's head had been completely removed, revealing a face eroded by slime molds.

Of course, it's not so much that it's being eroded by slime molds, but rather that it's the shape of a fruiting body.

But in fact, think about it, how can people live for more than a century under normal circumstances?

While the fruiting body of the slime mold repairs his body tissue, it is also slowly replacing the human tissue on his body, just like the biological prostheses made by Xiao Yu.

And when the degree of replacement reaches 99%, or even 100%, the user can no longer find a single original cell, and even the DNA fragment of the original cell cannot be found.

In this case, he is no different from the fruiting body of slime mold, and can even be said to be the fruiting body of slime mold.

Just as Night Ten was looking at him, the white dove sitting opposite him looked at him with the same curiosity.

“…… It's incredible, we should be meeting for the first time, you actually know me? ”

Ye Shi said with a smile.

"I've heard of it."

"But your expression tells me that you know more about me than just hearsay." The white pigeon grinned slightly, and the expression seemed to be smiling, just a little panicked.

However, although this man is a little ugly, he is a good person who is willing to give, otherwise he would not be so respected by the survivors of the Hump Kingdom.

"Well, there's a special way of communicating in our shelter...... Have you ever heard of psionics? ”

"I've heard of it, I've seen it in the newspapers," the white dove continued as he looked at Night Ten with interest, "so you're through psionic power...... What do you know about me from your companions? ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, I bowed my head.

"That's right."

"Incredible," the white pigeon snorted lightly and said with emotion, "I have been in retreat in the Valley of Lost for decades, studying the mutant slime molds and the mental abilities displayed by the slime molds, but I have not made any substantial progress until today...... I didn't expect that you have not only studied the subject that I still haven't figured out, but you have already used it. ”

The tone of envy was not mixed with the slightest hint of falsehood.

It can be seen that he is really convinced.

Looking at this guy's terrifying expression, Ye Shi didn't know what to say.

Engaging in scientific research is not cultivation.

Why does this guy think that doing things behind closed doors can be faster than "going around" to study?

Throughout the history of the Federation of People, such an awesome person seems to be just a "professor".

Don't say it's him.

The conclusion above his head that he had lived longer was that the doctor was afraid that he didn't have this level.

He didn't tear down his platform overnight, but just coughed lightly and said.

"After researching, we actually don't know much about this spiritual power. As for the application, we also rely more on the wisdom of our predecessors. ”

"Do you mean that there were already people who had mastered the large-scale application of psionic energy in the era of the Human Alliance?" The white pigeon's expression was slightly moved, and after a light sigh, he said in a tone that was half joking and half sincere, "To be honest, I don't know whether to feel comforted or frustrated. ”

"There's nothing to be frustrated about, it's nothing compared to what we've lost from the Age of Prosperity."

Ye Shi didn't make a comment, but continued in a chatty tone.

"In addition, we call this spiritual energy the 'form-forming field,' and if you follow the news, you should be able to see it in the newspapers. If you are interested, you can also join us. ”

The expression on that face seemed to be a little moved, but the white dove did not answer immediately.

His gaze fell on Ye Shi's wrist, and he suddenly diverted the topic and talked about something else.

"It's ...... Prosthetics of the Academy? ”

"Yes."

Ye Shi rolled up his sleeves and showed him - or showed off Jiang Xuezhou's technical achievements, and said with a smile.

"Brilliant design, isn't it?"

The only fly in the ointment is one thing, but there's no need to say it here.

"It's really good," Bai Pigeon said after a pause with a little approval in his eyes, "A long, long time ago, I thought that the academy was probably hopeless, and those guys who only knew how to pick up the wisdom of their predecessors must end up rotting in the swamp, but I didn't expect me to be pedantic...... After I left, there were still so many geniuses coming out. ”

"Haha, it's not a genius, but that guy is really talented in the mechanical field."

Ye Shi smiled embarrassedly, said a few words of modesty for someone, and then looked at the white dove and said.

"Do you have any ideas? I'm guessing you didn't show up just to catch a glimpse of the guests at the South Gate. ”

As he said this, he looked to the window, and saw that the two "children" were still staring out the window with great interest, enjoying the scenery along the way outside the train.

"Of course," Bai Ge smiled, put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Ye Shi, "Actually, I'm here for you." ”

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment.

"Me?"

The white pigeon nodded, took out a neatly folded copy of the Daily Survivor from his bosom, unfolded it and placed it on the table.

Ye Shi glanced at the headline of the newspaper, and the news on it seemed to be what he said when he first returned to Earth and faced reporters about the establishment of an extrasolar exploration team.

I didn't expect this brother to be interested in this matter.

Staring at Night Ten with blazing eyes, the white dove continued.

“…… I've heard that you're planning to recruit volunteers for expeditions around the world, is that the case? ”

Ye Shi smiled embarrassedly and said.

"It's just the proposal stage, and it still needs to be approved by the representatives of all parties in the community."

"It's a very good proposition, and I'm sure it won't be very difficult to pass...... From what I've seen of your managers," the white dove nodded approvingly, "by the way, are there no biologists and materials engineers on your ship?" I mean the professional kind. ”

Yashi shook his head.

"Not yet, do you have any recommended candidates?"

He just said it casually.

What he didn't expect was that the old monster sitting opposite him smiled brightly and said something he didn't expect.

"What do you think of me?"

Night Ten: "......?!" ”

it?

……

I didn't expect to be able to pick up a big guy when I went out, and Ye Shi was also surprised by this unexpected gain.

A scientist who has lived for more than a century, and his lifespan is probably infinite, and he can use it until "Wasteland oL" is closed!

Without any reason to refuse, Ye Shi immediately agreed without saying a word.

Although Bai Ge himself joked that he couldn't keep up with the times at his age, he didn't take this modest polite remark seriously.

This kind of scholar who can leave a name in history, even if it does not reach the level of SSSR, the rarity of SSR level is enough.

In addition, the big guy didn't have any special requirements for treatment, only that he wanted to leave a cabin for him as a laboratory, and bring his little red with the Titan in Lost Valley.

Compared to the "Tree of Life" in Baiyue Province, which is good at sowing seeds, Xiaohong is better at fusing metal materials and evolving "regenerative armor" on this basis.

According to the White Dove, he can help repair the Orion's damaged hull and enhance the Orion's hull defenses.

With the addition of the two crew members, Little Red and White Dove, the Orion is equivalent to two more layers of protection enhancement and buffs that regenerate blood in battle!

The corners of Ye Shile's mouth were almost unable to suppress the gun.

Just this one harvest, the second half of the journey is worth it!

Just as the train passed through the Lion City of Luoxia Province and headed in the direction of River Valley Province, a strange thing happened in Dawn City, far away in River Valley Province.

Some residents living in Dawn claimed that they had seen transparent paper airplanes in their homes.

It was a very thin paper airplane with only the length and thickness of the index finger.

Some people saw it on the balcony and watched it fly slowly through the sky, some people were in their bedrooms, watching it fly past the window, and some people claimed that their children watched it pass through the bedroom wall.

At first, the talk of paper airplanes was just a rumor, like an urban legend.

However, due to the counter-espionage awareness cultivated by the residents of Dawning City during the wartime, some people went to the security bureau to report the case after discovering the situation, which brought the matter to the fore, and even appeared in an unpopular newspaper such as "Goblin Observer".

However, the strange thing is that although nearly 70 people claimed to have seen "paper airplanes", none of them succeeded in taking pictures of paper airplanes.

There was even a person who took a photo, but nothing was left on the photo.

This incident quickly attracted the attention of the Guards Corps, and was linked to the loss of the pen some time ago.

Although there is no direct evidence of any connection between the two, the two strange events did occur at the same time.

In particular, after the investigation and visit of the Guards Corps, the number of samples and the scope of occurrence of the "lost pen" incident are highly overlapping with the "paper airplane" incident.

In other words, the number of occurrences of the vision is in the double digits, and it occurs in Dawn.

In the management office of the Alliance Building, Lu Bei reported the results of the investigation to Chu Guang with a serious expression.

After a moment's pause, he cautiously voiced his opinion.

"I'm thinking...... Could these strange things be the work of heaven and man? ”

Looking at the report in his hand repeatedly, Chu Guang asked casually.

"Has there been any substantial damage to us?"

Lu Bei shook his head and said solemnly.

"No substantial impact has been observed at this time...... Except for those pens that were lost. However, it is difficult to say whether this will be some kind of reconnaissance that we do not understand. ”

It was because they didn't understand that the Guards Regiment reacted as if they were facing a great enemy.

After all, the impression left by the "Celestials" on the survivor forces on the earth was too shocking.

These people don't say hello without beating, and as soon as they come up, they say "what do you have to do with destroying you", and no one can stand it.

Especially after the Orion incident, the Adhesive Community has completely given up on negotiating with the Celestials and the Enlightenment Society, and is ready to unite to eradicate this bed bug once and for all.

Now that both sides are in full swing preparing for war, it is difficult not to make people nervous at all.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and suddenly said.

"I don't think they have what it takes. And let's be honest, if they can really get some reconnaissance planes that can go through walls, why don't they go to Dawn City or our space elevators, but drop them on Dawn City, and they deliver them to residential areas. ”

Lu Bei frowned and said.

"That'...... Could it be to pass on a message to a spy hiding in Dawnlight? ”

Chu Guang shook his head and said.

"The possibility exists, but it's not very high, and even if this kind of communication can evade our interception, the movement caused will be too great. Just like now, it was almost the first time that alerted us. ”

Lu Bei fell silent.

In fact, these matters have been discussed several times at the meetings of the Guards Corps, and intelligence officials at all levels have given the same opinion, believing that the possibility of the two "visions" and celestial beings being related is very low.

However, here comes the problem.

If it has nothing to do with heaven and man, who else can do such a thing?

At least as far as the Guards know about the survivors, they don't have the motivation or the ability to do this.

But at this moment, Lu Bei's heart moved violently, and a thought suddenly popped up.

"Will it ...... Something to do with South Gate II? ”

This time, Chu Guang did not directly deny his speculation, but groaned.

"I've been wondering about it."

These unexplained "visions" seem to have started only after the Orion returned home.

Just as Chu Guang was pondering, Lu Bei suddenly received a communication request.

It's not just Lu Bei who got the news.

Xiao Qi, who was squatting in the pen holder, also received the news, and crawled out of the pen holder with a change in his face.

"What's going on?" Looking at Xiao Qi, whose face had changed drastically, Chu Guang immediately asked.

It's too late to bring the honorific title as usual, Xiao Qihuo said in a hurry.

"There's an accident on the side of the scientific expedition!"
