Evolution Day?

Chen Jing looked at Smith with a puzzled expression, only to feel that this gringo's crazy strength was no worse than that of the old man in the inner world.

It's all extremely ruthless...... If you say you kill someone, you kill someone, and those who kill are your own people!

Just because he can do it to his own people without hesitation.

Chen Jing was ashamed of himself.

In fact, at the beginning of the fight, Chen Jing didn't think about how to deal with these four uninvited guests.

Previously, he asked Bai Aji to attack Zhou Guojian, also because Zhou Guojian had the only weapon that could pose a threat to him.

He originally thought that Bai Aji meant to knock Zhou Guojian unconscious or incapacitate him......

Unexpectedly, Bai Aji directly ate one of Zhou Guojian's hands.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Guojian also lost too much blood and hung up.

This made Chen Jing a little surprised.

To his surprise, though, Baiagi's saliva seemed to be toxic.

After Zhou Guojian fell into a coma, his tightly covered wounds were exposed.

Anyone could see the blackened, rotting flesh on the edge of the wound......

This is a manifestation of poisoning.

In a short time, the venom spread throughout the body.

Zhou Guojian's corpse was extremely terrifying due to the rapid decay caused by the spread of the poison.

The black venom started from the outside of the wound and slowly crept up and down the body like maggots, and even the muscles were corroded into many dense beehive-like cavities.

Eventually, along with the bones, they became "slag of wood" that shattered at the touch of a button.

"What is Evolution Day?" Chen Jing looked at Zhou Guojian's corpse with a complicated expression, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Smith didn't answer Chen Jing's question, but followed Chen Jing's gaze to the corpse, smiling kindly and kindly.

"Don't worry, kid." Smith said calmly, as if he knew about it, "They're dead, and no one is going to trouble you." ”

"I'm not afraid of trouble......"

"And you regret it?" Smith asked rhetorically in a joking tone, "This won't be your first killing, will it?" ”

Smith said, taking two more steps forward.

"Looks like it should be...... I've seen your file...... You grew up being a good kid with excellent grades...... It's normal that I haven't seen blood......"

As soon as the words fell, Smith stopped and stood about two meters away from Chen Jing.

"The first time you kill someone, it is inevitable that there will be a psychological burden, I understand ......"

"There is no psychological burden."

Chen Jing interrupted Smith and glanced up at him.

"I just think he's unlucky."

Chen Jing sighed.

In Smith's surprised gaze, Chen Jing folded his hands and bowed reverently to Zhou Guojian's corpse, his tone was so sincere that it was a mess.

"I didn't intend to kill him in the first place."

"You didn't want to kill him? Oh! Right! It's manslaughter, right? Smith helped Chen Jing find an explanation in a good way, and nodded with a smile, "You are justified defense!" It's manslaughter! That's how I would explain it to the association! ”

"Manslaughter? Sort of. ”

Chen Jing scratched his head, feeling that this explanation was quite acceptable.

After all, his initial idea was simple, he just planned to put these four people down, and then dig out the information he wanted from their mouths.

Such as......

What exactly are they?

How did they know about the old man's death?

"You should belong to the same organization, right?" Chen Jing asked curiously, "I heard you mention what 'association' ...... before?"

"That's right." Smith didn't hide it at all, and seemed to be unscrupulous in order to win over Chen Jing.

He showed his sincerity as much as possible, and his tone became sincere.

"We are members of the [Aether Association], I am from the Beauty, and several of them are members of the Border......"

"What does your association do?" Chen Jing asked.

This time, Smith didn't rush to answer, but carefully considered it for a while before speaking.

"Dealing with the apocalypse."

"Doomsday?"

Chen Jing pretended to look at the old man in surprise, but his heart was already turbulent.

Smith's answer was something he hadn't expected.

He thought that only his grandfather knew that the end existed, but now it seems that ......

It seems that there are still many people who know the end of the world?!

"I know it may be hard for you to believe this, but the reality is that it may not be long before the end of human civilization is coming......"

"What kind of doomsday?" Chen Jing asked, his eyes fixed on Smith, observing the subtle changes in the expression on his face.

"I don't know ......"

Smith's expression didn't look like he was lying.

The excitement that comes from the depths of the soul is almost impossible to disguise.

"But we can definitely have something to do with evolution!"

"What evolution?" Chen Jing pretended to have a confused expression, and continued to ask along with Smith's words, "Where did you all get the news?" ”

"Did your grandfather tell you about his youth?" Smith asked.

Chen Jing shook his head and said no, he never mentioned it.

"Didn't you say anything about him being a professor on the other side of the ocean?"

"No, but I heard my grandmother say that he used to be a top student studying abroad and only returned to China in 1973......"

"No wonder...... No wonder you didn't know I existed......" Smith sighed, his expression a little lost, "I really take your grandfather as a friend...... Otherwise I wouldn't have come back to him......"

When Chen Jing heard him say this, he just laughed.

It's his hypocrisy that laughs.

"It all started in 1972, when your grandfather and I were both teaching at Miskatonic University, and he and I were both professors at that university......"

Smith didn't seem to care whether Chen Jing believed his words or not, and just told the truth according to his own memory.

"On April 11 of that year, your grandfather and I were hired by the 'Wood Private Consortium' to conduct scientific research in Antarctica, and in those days, it was not uncommon for us to be hired by private expeditions......

"What is the purpose of your expedition to Antarctica?" Chen Jing asked.

Hearing this, Smith spat out a sentence softly.

"Geological exploration, obtaining samples of paleontology and archaea, and finding an answer in Antarctica......"

"What answer?" Chen Jing asked.

"At that time, occultism and conspiracy theories were very popular in our country, and it was rumored that there were ancient ancestors who lived in Antarctica, and it happened that the owner of the consortium was also interested in this, so he called your grandfather...... The only professor of yellow-skinned archaeology at Miskatonic University. ”

"If it weren't for this inexplicable reason, I would have been the only professor who went to Antarctica in the first place......"

In Smith's statement, neither he nor Chen Bofu thought about this matter so much.

They all thought it was just an ordinary "ocean trip".

But it turns out they were wrong.

Even the "Wood Consortium", which initiated this polar expedition, did not expect that such a simple geological exploration expedition would change the pattern of the world in just a few years.

That's right.

Shortly after they arrived at Antarctica and began their drilling work, the second expedition team, led by Smith and Chen Bofu, discovered something strange under the ice that has been melting for thousands of years in Antarctica......

"It's an ancient ruin, it's a palace."

Smith seemed to have lost the heart of an umbrella, and just stood motionless in the rainstorm, letting the rain slide down his face.

The bitterly cold temperature reminded him of that day.

Decades ago, it seems to be close at hand.

"To this day, we can't be sure when that palace was built."

"But what we know for sure is ......"

"The ancient civilization that built that palace possessed a supernatural power that we humans could not have imagined."
