Chapter 119: The Temple of Genes
For Ivan's subordinates, Jiang Yingxue still felt that they were useful, and in order not to affect morale, she could only deceive them to continue to give them hope.
When Ivan and the others heard that the way out was ahead, their excitement overflowed, as if they were about to return to the bright lights of the civilized world.
For the current abnormal morale shock, Bai Ning could naturally understand that it was because of Jiang Yingxue's speech guidance, but he didn't bother to care about it.
He pointed forward and ordered the team to continue across the creek straight ahead.
For Bai Ning's judgment, Jiang Yingxue didn't want to ask anything, just because Bai Ning had already abandoned the second child and was moving in the right direction to leave.
The deeper you advance into the dense forest, the denser the footprints of the beasts on the ground become, which is the appearance of a large number of beast clusters, causing the outlaws to be silent one by one, for fear of being raided by the beasts again.
"Isn't it a little too risky for us to do that?
You know, with these weapons in our hands, the beasts can wipe us out with a single look. ”
Faced with such a dense beast footprint along the way, the panic in Jiang Yingxue's heart had also risen to the limit, if she continued to walk, she felt that she might become the beast's ration.
Jiang Yingxue's worry was the heart disease of all the outlaws, and seeing that Jiang Yingxue and Bai Ning had an exchange, although they couldn't understand it, they still maintained a high degree of attention.
"The fact that the beasts are gathering with a clear sense of purpose suggests that they are indeed guarding something very important at the moment.
In addition to the soul research project, the Atlantean civilization is also very good at genetic modification, and the management core is currently guarding, perhaps the genetic temple. ”
Bai Ning told a previous guess, which made Jiang Yingxue shocked, but also a little confused about Bai Ning's intention to explore the Gene Temple.
Besides, the management core has gathered so many beasts to protect the Gene Temple, so how powerful will the existence of the Gene Temple be?
"Even if we can profit from the fish, hoping that they will be able to fight and lose, what can we get from the genetic temple here?
You can't just run out with a few embryos of ancient genetic creatures and then cultivate a bunch of strange creatures, right? ”
Jiang Yingxue's words sounded like she was retreating, but she was actually paving the way for the desire for immortality in her heart.
The study of the soul is too obscure, but the concept of genetic research is not very new.
In the current scientific system, the thing that controls the number of cell divisions is called telomere, which is a small piece of DNA that is present at the end of a chromosome.
Even if the Atlantean civilization can't crack the infinite repair technology of telomeres, they should at least know some secret recipes for slowing down the rate at which telomeres become shorter.
Even if you can't live forever, it's a good thing to be able to extend your life as long as possible.
"Who knows what the existence of the ancient ruins will enshrine in the Temple of Genes?
Or maybe they just enshrined a piece of the DNA double helix and a copy of the genetic map of hominids.
For the management core, what it wants to protect does not necessarily need to have any actual value, it only needs to be ranked highest among its program cores.
We can even guess that the physical objects of this genetic temple have been destroyed, leaving behind a symbolic empty shell. ”
Bai Ning's answer surprised Jiang Yingxue, since there was nothing in the Gene Temple, what was Bai Ning obsessed with going there?
Is there really a way out of here?
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, which made Ivan and the others feel even more confused and frightened, at this critical juncture, Ivan didn't dare to ask about some sensitive topics at will, for fear of angering Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue.
The team continued to move forward with their heads down, and there was no need to control it at all, and the whole process was silent.
Faintly, everyone seemed to be able to hear a very obvious beast roar in front of them, as if an unusually fierce battle was taking place.
Faced with this expected situation, the outlaws were very nervous, for fear that they would be affected for no reason and die here completely.
"Boss, there are too many beasts ahead, let's take a detour."
In the face of the real problem of survival, Ivan still came over cautiously, and the attention in his eyes was all Bai Ning's attitude.
"Where to go around?"
Bai Ning just responded lightly to this question, which made Ivan instantly speechless.
Oh, yes. Where can you go around?
After watching in place for a long time, just when Jiang Yingxue felt that Bai Ning needed some cannon fodder to explore the way ahead, Bai Ning himself had to go in person.
In the process of gathering the people, everyone was terrified, and only Aaron was willing to follow the past.
Leaving a large team, the two slowly groped towards the beast gathering area, at this time the strong flashlight did not dare to use, and could only slowly grope forward with a faint light, the main guide was the noise of the beast herd.
The noise of the beasts grew louder and louder, and the two groped their way behind a large tree to hide, and found that there seemed to be some shadows running back and forth in the pitch black, and they did not know what the beasts were navigating through.
Faintly, there seemed to be a faint glow in the center of the herd.
The light is not strong, but it is still very noticeable against the dark background.
In order to get a better view, the two climbed up the tree very neatly, and when they looked up, a fluorescent temple appeared in the clearing in the distance.
A large number of strange creatures gathered around it, and the black shadows connected to the ocean, declaring its sanctity.
This temple is smaller than the previous Soul Temple, and the surrounding outbuildings and plazas are even more cramped, both in terms of size and the integrity of the preservation, it is somewhat insignificant compared to the Soul Temple.
However, anything that can be enshrined as a temple is not to be underestimated, not to mention that its overall mechanics look quite perfect.
"The difference in strength is too great, and this is not a place for us to come."
Although Aaron has no fear in his heart, based on his status as a professional bodyguard, he must express his neutral view of the situation on the field at such a critical moment.
"There are so many beasts, it's obvious that they're not guarding against us, and when they find a place with a good view, they may be able to see a big show."
The members of the Daredevil Society may also be here, and the threat of the Illusion Core to this place should not be underestimated, and it is not possible to sing the main role, and it is also possible to profit as an inconsequential bystander.
He didn't know the whole picture, and he didn't have much to say about it, so Ah Long could only follow Bai Ning and quickly return to the main army.
After a little exchange of the current overall situation, Jiang Yingxue was accustomed to Bai Ning's adventurous attributes, while Ivan and the others all looked frightened.
Bai Ning wants to take advantage of the fire, there will definitely be some cannon fodder among them in the future, who is not clear, the outlaws can only pray that it is not him.
Due to Bai Ning's persistence, the overall morale of the team was very poor, and they went around a few big trees, and at Bai Ning's suggestion, everyone climbed up.
Seeing the Gene Temple and the beasts gathered nearby, the fear in the hearts of the outlaws naturally became stronger, and they didn't know if it was too cold from the heights, and many people's legs and stomachs began to tremble.
"Looking at Ivan's cowardice, the life and death of the second child is no longer important in his opinion, but you still choose to stay here, do you think that the way to survive is in that temple?
Even if a large number of strange creatures have escaped from the ancient ruins, it does not mean that the passage to leave is here. ”
Ever since Bai Ning left the Black Pillar, his behavior seemed firm and erratic, and although Jiang Yingxue believed in Bai Ning, she really wanted to figure out why.
"This ancient ruin is not a Netherworld Tomb, it is far more lively than anyone expected.
Remember what I mentioned earlier, the Illusion Core wasn't actually part of the Ancient Ruins, and was most likely here to destroy it.
Now is perhaps the most dangerous time for the ancient ruins, and it is also a critical time for us to reap the fruits of our desires. ”
Now that many things have been confirmed, Bai Ning's core guess will not be bad even if it is wrong, so that Jiang Yingxue has a number in her heart, and it can also make her have a better helping effect in the next process.
Hearing that the ancient ruins might be completely destroyed like the original outpost research base, Jiang Yingxue's sense of urgency was finally aroused.
No wonder Bai Ning was so urgent, it turned out that now was his last chance to get the secret from here.
"If the showdown between the two doesn't happen immediately, how long do you think we'll have to wait here?"
Jiang Yingxue's question seems to be very brainless, but it also really points out the problem of the lack of durability of the current team.
Let's not talk about how long the supplies in their hands can support them stay here, let's talk about the morale of those outlaws, once they completely collapse because of the problem of mentality, this kind of civil strife may not be very lethal, but once it attracts outside attention, this result will be devastating.
"There's no benefit in thinking too much about these issues, and if you're really bored, you can lean against a tree and rest for a while."
Getting Bai Ning's response, Jiang Yingxue was also a little embarrassed.
This slightly impatient response shows that Bai Ning lacks basic control over the current situation, and he is only doing things according to the optimal solution in reasoning.
Jiang Yingxue blindly wants to know the outcome of the unknown situation, which is indeed difficult for some strong people.
But who wants to be strong?
The pursuit of security is a basic human need, not to mention that they are currently sitting on a barrel of high gunpowder, and the slightest bump will immediately blow up their bones.
