Chapter 179 The Call of the Mountain (Part 1)

The wind and sand stopped.

7 o'clock in the evening

Alpha opened his eyes and saw a swaying figure in front of him.

"How is it, did you sleep well!"

"Ah!"

Alpha yawned and got up from a col. Witt smiled and nodded. The two looked at the black shadows flashing in front of them quietly.

"Did you feel anything?"

Witt asked again. Alpha pointed to the mountains in the distance. Although the feeling was not too strong, it was certain that there was something in the mountains. After Alpha sorted out the things in detail, he told the gods.

Last night, Witt decided to go outside the barrier with Alpha to investigate. That day on the barrier, Alpha clearly felt a breath in the distance.

"We can't feel anything. I guess this is the difference between humans and non-humans."

As Witt said, Alpha laughed.

"Teacher Witt, those who have thoughts, consciousness, and heart are human beings."

Witt nodded happily. He hasn't been so happy for a long time. The last time he took his students to investigate in a strange land was more than 200 years ago.

"What, did you remember anything?"

Witt hummed, and the two walked slowly. Alpha looked the same as usual, wearing only a loose coat with a sports vest inside. However, under the weak light, Alpha's body surface seemed to have a thin layer of colloid, which was the latest scientific research result of the 10th department.

The quantum crystal armor was made of the latest V-shaped mimicry, processed using the membrane technology, and equipped with an environmental monitoring and recognition AI system. It can be automatically adjusted according to the external environment, and can be used even in the cosmic environment. It only needs to bring a built-in yang energy block.

This is also an experiment. After a while, all the people who traveled with Gene will wear such clothes to go to the distant center of the Pacific Ocean to find supplies.

"I used to take students to an unknown grassland for biological investigations like this. At that time, a mutant virus that had been studied by humans spread in that area."

"Did you find the source?"

Alpha asked, and Witt smiled.

"It's a pity that my students and I were kidnapped by the rebels while we were still on the way to research. After being detained for nearly a year, I was rescued." Alpha glanced at Witt, then took out a cigarette. Just as he put it to his mouth, a small hole opened. Alpha lit the cigarette and asked. "Where are those students!" Witt closed his eyes. At this time, there was a rustling sound in front of him. The ground bulged in an instant, accompanied by a violent roar. A two or three-meter-high behemoth flew over with bared teeth. It looked like a bear, but it was not because it had an insect-like shell and bird-like claws. It was like a splicing of many things. "Really! What a pity!" Whoosh Alpha suddenly moved forward, turned his body sideways and punched it. With a loud bang, accompanied by the surge of black particles, the behemoth in front of him was torn into pieces in an instant, and the broken limbs and arms flew around like scattered stones. Orange light emanated from Witt's eyes, and the creatures of different sizes that rushed over were broken into pieces by the blades that appeared in the air.

It was a miracle that these things between living and non-living things could exist, but how did they come from? Witt and his team still couldn't figure it out.

"What are these things?"

Witt shook his head, and the two began to walk down the hillside. They didn't speed up. Alpha was still confirming the breath she felt before. The mountains in the distance that looked like blades were the breath she felt on the barrier.

Alpha herself was not sure, but he did see something in his hallucination that day. The gods attached great importance to this matter. Alpha felt that breath again on the barrier last night, and then she came here with Witt and lay quietly here for a night. Such breath is indeed very sensitive.

"Perhaps only living things can feel it."

As Witt said this, many creature-like creatures appeared around them. The two of them slightly quickened their pace and soon entered the valley. The two continued to speed up. There were more and more rustling sounds behind them. Many creature-like creatures hidden in some underground caves gathered together.

Gradually, the mountains were full of these creature-like creatures of different sizes and shapes. After Alpha took a look, Witt stopped Alpha who was about to attack.

"There will be no end to the fight like this."

The two of them quickly jumped up on the hillside and climbed quickly towards the peak. However, at this time, a large number of creature-like creatures with wings and bats emerged from the holes on the ground. They had heads like lava rocks and sharp long beaks. The two did not attack, but dodged these creature-like creatures and continued to quickly climb up to the top of the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, those creature-like creatures still gathered halfway up the mountain and chased them. The two jumped directly from the cliff.

The moment he landed, Alpha felt movement under his feet. The ground was rumbling. Alpha half-crouched, and the ground in front of him bulged. A huge round head turned over, and in an instant a big black mouth bit towards Alpha.

With a loud bang, Alpha had smashed through the head in an instant. The scattered stone-like fragments hit the mountain wall, directly making holes in the mountain wall. The ground trembled again. Only then did Alpha You can see clearly that it is a giant beast, and it has stopped moving after its head was knocked off.

"It looks very consistent with the characteristics of a creature. There will be no signs of activity after the head is destroyed."

"Have you studied it early?"

Alpha asked, and Werther nodded. The road in front of him became smoother, but there was still a long way to go to the mountains and rivers in the distance. Alpha could only slowly confirm the location of this special aura by walking in this way.

If this aura is present or absent, many times it may disappear just as soon as you feel it, and Alpha will immediately confirm the direction.

"When we first discovered these things a long time ago, we were extremely surprised. We speculated that this may be related to the deadly virus annihilation that ravaged the entire planet before, because the same annihilation virus was indeed detected from the bodies of these creatures. substance, but there is still no way to determine it.”

Alpha threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at the distant mountain peaks quietly, and closed his eyes. After feeling it for a while, he still couldn't feel it. He didn't feel the strange feeling even once today.

"Still not working?"

Alpha hummed, and the two continued to move forward.

"Is that similar to the biological substance developed by Lewen?"

Werther nodded.

"There is something similar, but not much. The existence of this kind of thing goes against all the current knowledge that humans have."

At this time, a large bunch of rustling things not far away came towards them. A fierce white light suddenly emitted from Alpha's chest, and soon there was a scarlet color in front of them, and a large group of plant-like plants were coming towards them. Burning without fire.

"Including this thing, X once said that he didn't know exactly where these things came from, but he was sure that these things came from the falling asteroid after the disaster. More specific things He doesn't know."

Previous experiments from 10 families have shown that this type of plant has a core, and those people who are parasitized by the type of plant have a core-like thing. This thing will be wrapped in the human cerebral cortex. If you don't look for it carefully, it will almost disappear. It cannot be discovered.

"Mr. Witte, what do you think the purpose of these things is?"

"If we look at it from a biological perspective, the purpose of life is to evolve and adapt to everything around it, so as to continue life. However, these things can no longer be said to be living things. The purpose of their existence is both Not for evolution, let alone survival. If we insist on saying so, the purpose of these things’ existence is simply for expansion, or they exist for some purpose that we are completely unable to understand at the moment.”

While the two were talking, a small hill appeared in front of them. Witte stopped. Along the way, he could see many kinds of plants. These things crawled very slowly, but their attack speed at close range was very fast, only 0.3 seconds. That's it, normal people can't react. If these things grow quickly, they will be a big threat to Brilliant City.

Although they are growing every minute and every second, one of them will only extend about 1 meter, and they have the weakness of being afraid of light. Fortunately, they need a core to parasitize humans.

At present, 10 families have selected many types of plants for various experiments, and specific conclusions should be available soon.

Suddenly Alpha pressed his forehead, and there was that feeling again, as if someone suddenly knocked on your heart. Alpha turned his head and pointed to the left. The two of them changed their direction. In front of them was a large plain, and they could see a lot of things. An active creature.

"Teacher Witte, what kind of existence do you think you are?"

Alpha asked, and Veit said after thinking for a moment.

"Maybe it's not necessarily a high-level life form. Our bodies are made up of particles. The number of these particles will continue to increase, just like cells, and these particles can act as alienated cells. What happened more than 200 years ago The mutation in us is related to the explosion, and most importantly, Ellie’s resurrection.”

Alpha has listened to Jean in detail about some of the previous things. Alpha is worried about the current situation of the gods. The energy in their bodies will expand as the number of particles continues to increase. Those Gods placed inside Section 10 Crystal is the condensation of their power. Usually, they will place the power condensed to a certain extent in that form.

Those crystals of God are also key items that can extend human lifespan, and are the essential reasons why humans will become mutants.

Only a small piece of these things can be used to create a life-span vaccine that can satisfy tens of millions of people. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous for these things to remain in Brilliant City in addition to making life-span vaccines.

Because 10 subjects tried to use these things as new energy sources before, but failed. These powers that are part of the bodies of the gods can only be controlled by them, and any energy conversion method is ineffective.

Therefore, the gods must leave the city at a certain time, otherwise the energy contained in these things will one day reach a place where the gods can no longer control it, and this energy is enough to destroy the planet.

Only a handful of people know all these secrets, less than 10 people in the entire Brilliant City. When Alpha heard all this a few days ago, he was extremely surprised.

Alpha finally understood why the gods wanted to enter the mechanized era so much. Once the gods left the city, the city could only rely on its own strength to resist the coming crisis, so humans must be allowed to Make all preparations to start the long space age.

"The situation no longer allows the city to continue like this. It will take at most five years. If the city remains the same as before within five years, the mechanization era is inevitable."

Alpha nodded, this was irrefutable. The human race is about to be destroyed due to disasters, and there may be wars in the future. The mechanized era is indeed the only option for humans, which can allow humans to adapt to harsh environments in a short period of time. Use the lowest energy consumption to keep the human race alive.

"This is the last thing we can do for this city before we leave. In the past, we thought about developing towards the mechanization era from the beginning. Although the conditions at that time did not allow it, the population was not as large as it is now. If we started from the beginning If we move towards the mechanization era, maybe this city will be a steel-like city now."

Alpha took out a cigarette, lit it, smiled, and shook his head.

"Perhaps the difference will not be too big. Human society is like this. Even if everyone becomes a biochemical machine, there will naturally be disputes in other aspects. Unless we can really completely control human beings and give them an ideal hometown. It’s the same world, but obviously it’s unrealistic because the truth will be discovered one day.”

Werther nodded after being silent for a while.

"Actually, we finally found the source of the virus before. My student also said this before he died. It was concocted by the country I was working for at the time. In fact, I also vaguely felt that it was not an accident that we were hijacked. But it is inevitable, because if we discover the truth, it will destroy that country’s strategic plan.”

Alpha laughed.

"It's the same no matter what era it is!"
