Kong Ling stared at Guo Jin coldly: "This can be regarded as giving you a chance, do you choose to continue to do things for Lin Rou, or do things for me?" ”

The corners of Guo Jin's mouth hooked a curvature, and his narrow eyes flashed with a fox-like light, and then he laughed, and directly exposed his wrist in front of Kong Ling.

He then pulled a small utility knife out of his pocket.

In front of Kong Ling, he plunged directly into the skin of his forearm, and with a pop, in a blood red, he dug out a small piece of black chip and threw it on the ground.

He said directly: "This is the locator, so that Lin Rou can know where you are at any time, and now I have taken it out, which is my sincerity." ”

"I know you won't trust me easily, but I assure you that we definitely have the same interests, and I'll prove the rest to you later."

After speaking, Guo Jin put a band-aid on the wound on the back of his hand expressionlessly, turned around and left.

Kong Ling glanced at the locator on the ground, and with one look, the locator instantly turned into powder.

She raised her head slightly again, looking at Guo Jin's back, the tip of her nose hummed lightly, and her eyes were full of disgust.

"A bunch of disgusting guys!"

……

On the side of the road, a wildflower that had been frozen into an ice sculpture suddenly covered with a layer of shadow, and then, a foot falling from the sky, trampled the ice flower to pieces.

A team was slowly moving forward, this team was huge, tens of thousands of people, most of them on foot, and only a small number of people could get on the silver-gray minibuses and armored vehicles on guard.

The convoy eventually stopped at the entrance to a forest, which was now covered with snow, and each tree was covered with a thick white hat on its canopy, adding a touch of mystery and coldness to the originally vibrant forest.

"Squeak Squeak"

Jiang Ningqin opened the car door and got out of the car, wrapped his warm jacket tightly, stepped on the snow with a deep and shallow step, and looked at the road extending into the forest in front of him with a solemn expression.

Luckily, they didn't encounter any road destruction, at most they encountered some abandoned cars blocking the road, and their convoy naturally had a way to remove the obstacles that stood in the way.

But now, in front of them was a road leading to an unknown forest, almost completely covered with snow, and only a few crevices could shine into it.

Therefore, even if you stand at the entrance and look inside, you can only see the dim woods, the entrance of the black hole, like the monster's wide open mouth, and their team is like a death-loving adventurer who takes the initiative to explore the monster's mouth.

Fu Siting walked to Jiang Ningqin's side, and looked at the forest in front of him with a solemn expression, although he hadn't entered it yet, Fu Siting had a faint uneasiness, this forest was probably a little dangerous.

"Do you want to go in?"

Lin Rou also followed, still looking indifferent, she glanced at Jiang Ningqin and Fu Siting, and then moved her gaze to this ice and snow forest, and said bluntly.

"Qin'er, I think this forest is very dangerous, so I suggest going around."

Jiang Ningqin also felt the same way, but if you take a detour, it will take a lot of time, this forest is so big, and it will save a lot of time to take the team directly.

Naturally, they don't have to worry about taking the car, but there are many walking people in the team, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on.

It was also at this time that Jiang Ningqin realized that it was difficult to be a leader, and everything to consider had to involve all aspects.

Everyone knows that the straight line between two points is the shortest, but they fled all the way to J City, in addition to considering the problem of shortening the distance, they also had to consider the ability to adapt in the face of unknown dangers.

This snow forest does not look very safe, and it is best to take a detour to be safe, but ......

Jiang Ningqin glanced back, and those who were sitting on the big rocks on the side of the road panting for breath frowned deeply.

She licked her lips, looked at Lin Rou and asked, "What do you think is inside?" ”

Lin Rou smiled helplessly: "I'm not sure, after all, I haven't been in it either, but I can tell you directly, if we really encounter something dangerous inside, we only have two ways forward, or backward, in case we are blocked inside...... It's dangerous. ”

"You are less alarmist!"

Chu Lian didn't know when he arrived at Jiang Ningqin's side, and when he heard Lin Rou's words, he subconsciously retorted.

Seeing this, Jiang Ningqin patted Chu Lian's shoulder comfortingly and said, "Chu Lian, don't worry, we are still discussing whether to go in." ”

Chu Lian looked at Jiang Ningqin's face and did not continue to entangle with Lin Rou, but he still expressed his opinion.

"Sister Qin'er, I don't mean to disagree with some people, you look at those walking in the team, there is no problem for us to sit in the car, but they walk, one less day is a day, the journey to Beijing is so far, there are still so many old, weak, sick and disabled in our team, you have to take it into account."

Before Jiang Ningqin could speak, Lin Rou raised her eyebrows and said: "It's because there are old, weak, sick and disabled people in the team that we can't actively contact with the danger, we can choose to bypass the danger now, instead of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, anyway, I suggest a detour." ”

Chu Lian snorted coldly.

"Of course you suggested a detour, you are so afraid of death, but when you take a detour, please get out of the car and give up your place to the old people and children in the team."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Lian realized that he was a little naïve like this, and calmed down a little, before he said seriously to Jiang Ningqin.

"Sister Qin'er, I don't agree to take a detour, let's go over in one go, it's okay, it's still a few hours before it gets dark, let's go over in one go, no problem, at most half a day will pass."

"It's really not good, just spend the night inside, I think there are so many big trees in the way, there won't be any danger, this ice and snow, the animals in the forest are probably frozen to death, even if they don't freeze to death, then they should all starve to death, so I think it's okay to go directly."

Lin Rou smiled, her tone meaningful.

"According to you, there is no threat in the ice and snow, so what are we? Don't forget, human beings are very small when facing nature, and sometimes they are not as vulnerable as animals. ”

"After all, animals have to face the test of nature from the time they are born, and those who can survive are the best, you think that the animals in this forest are starved to death and frozen to death, but I don't think so."

Chu Lian felt that Lin Rou was deliberately making trouble.

pretended to be a loving mother before, bewitching Sister Qin'er, but now that her true face has been exposed, she still has to say that she has some of these things.

Chu Lian was a little irritable, and she didn't speak very politely.

"Dr. Lin, I know you know a lot, but the situation of our team doesn't match what you are studying in the research institute at all."

"You're not the leader of our team, you're still guilty of it, do you think you're qualified to say that?"

Jiang Ningqin saw that Chu Lian was really annoyed, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Fu Siting finally spoke: "Chu Lian, don't say a word, you go and appease everyone first, let everyone rest for a while, don't make trouble, as for how to go, Qin'er and I will think about it carefully, and we will also take into account what you say, rest assured." ”

Fu Siting's words made people feel inexplicably reassured, Chu Lian died down, glared at Lin Rou unhappily, and then turned his head and left.

Fu Siting looked at Lin Rou at this time, and his expression was neither salty nor light.

"Dr. Lin, if you know anything, just say it, you are in our team now, if you can make a good suggestion for the team, of course we will take it, but I don't like your attitude of talking half hiding half hidden."

Lin Rou chuckled, not caring about Fu Siting's unfriendly attitude, but looking at Jiang Ningqin and saying.

"I told you before that in addition to the cataclysm in the Chaos Period, all kinds of living things will also change, and what causes the change of living things is the chaotic qi."

Jiang Ningqin frowned: "Isn't the chaotic qi an energy source?" You can't see or touch it without special means, Dr. Lin, what do you mean by that? ”

Lin Rou clasped her hands and explained.

"Chaotic qi is indeed an energy source, but at the same time, it is also an energy, and the concentration of chaotic qi in the air today is enough to promote the secondary evolution of living beings."

"Secondary ...... Evolve! ”

Jiang Ningqin's face changed slightly: "You mean that creatures will be affected by the chaotic qi, so what will it become?" Turning into a monster? ”

Jiang Ningqin's first reaction was, the little animals in this forest won't turn into zombies, right? There are so many people in her team, if one of them turns into a zombie, it will be a complete mess.

Lin Rou saw what Jiang Ningqin was thinking, and explained: "It's not about becoming a monster, it's not about becoming a zombie, I'm talking about evolution, compared to ordinary people, the ability is a person who has evolved, but the physical fitness or IQ has become stronger and higher, and it will not become a walking corpse." ”

Jiang Ningqin and Fu Siting glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Ningqin quickly grasped the point.

"You said that the concentration of chaotic qi in the air can already promote secondary evolution, so why is there so many people in our team, and no one shows such signs?"

Lin Rou took a deep breath.

"I guess you've all studied the evolution of life before, right? Organisms with a simpler life structure evolve faster, such as single-celled organisms, which evolve faster than animals. ”

"And human beings, as the most complex life forms on the Blue Star, in general, will evolve slower than other creatures."

Speaking of this, Lin Rou paused, glanced at the snow, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she was feeling something, and when she opened her eyes, there was infinite emotion in her eyes.

"And now the ice and snow, the temperature is too low, which will inhibit the growth and reproduction of most animals and plants, and it is precisely because of this thick ice and snow cover that you do not see the prosperity of evolution."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is only for species that are not suitable for growing and reproducing at low temperatures."

Speaking of this, Lin Rou smiled again and glanced at the dim entrance of the forest.

"But what if the animals and plants are originally adapted to low-temperature organisms? Encountering this kind of icy and snowy weather, coupled with the catalysis of chaotic qi, they will only be more like fish in water. ”

Lin Rou looked at Jiang Ningqin and Fu Siting, and said expressionlessly.

"I don't know what's inside the forest, but it's dangerous to have a small biosphere like this, and we, as interlopers, can easily alarm the aborigines inside."

"The best-case scenario, of course, is that the animals and plants inside were consumed by the cold and starvation at the beginning of the low temperature, but if not, then they must be in an evolved situation now."

While speaking, Lin Rou walked up to Jiang Ningqin, patted her shoulder, sighed and smiled.

"Qin'er, you are now the leader of the team, I just made a suggestion, and the final decision is in your hands."
