Elf: pick up reborn Eevee at the beginning

Chapter 361

According to the description of the video, Area Zero is divided into four layers: upper, middle, lower, and bottom. The ecological environment and elves inhabiting each layer are different.

Each floor is like an extremely huge cave, how huge is it?

It is reported that the Padia giant pit occupies nearly one-fifth of the entire continent, and you can imagine the four floors in the giant pit as the four floors of a building——

Its total area adds up to close to the entire Padia continent!

But it's actually not that huge, because each floor has a huge pothole leading to the lower layer, but the dense clouds make it impossible to observe the lower layer from the upper layer.

Obviously, such a low altitude cannot form clouds and fog in a natural state, so the reason for the formation of the cloud covering the lower layer is very suspicious.

But that's just one of the less obvious mysteries of Area Zero.

The space Xia Chen is currently in is the "elevator" that runs through the entire fourth floor of Zone Zero. According to the guard who accompanied him in, he has the authority to enter any floor.

Ask yourself if you want to explore on your own from the top down, or go directly to the lowest level where the Zero Zone Research Institute is located.

Obviously, the further down, the more paradoxical elves inhabit, and the closer to the truth of this huge pit.

The purpose of Xia Chen's trip is not to explore the truth, but to find Millerton, so the best solution should be to explore by himself.

But because he had an appointment with Dr. Olin, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the research institute first.

Anyway, it’s the same from bottom to top, right?

After setting the destination, the elevator begins to descend.

Perhaps because of the large up and down fluctuations, the speed of the elevator is a little slow. Fortunately, the surrounding is made of transparent glass, so Xia Chen can enjoy the scenery in the huge pit to pass the time.

The uppermost layer is almost the same as the outside world, with mountains, rivers, waterfalls, grasslands, and all kinds of ordinary elves.

Because it has never been developed by humans, the scenery here is more natural and beautiful than the outside world.

Then there is the middle layer, where the rivers and waterfalls of the upper layer hang down and turn into lakes. Because the sunlight is much less than that of the upper layer, the vegetation coverage here is not so high, and the tall trees that can be seen everywhere in the upper layer are relatively rare here.

Another obvious change is that there are more paradoxical elves visible to the naked eye. Xia Chen only saw the roaring moon and the iron thorn fighting.

Occasionally, you can also see the big winged moth crawling on the grass and crawling on the ground wings.

After a few more minutes, the elevator descended to the lower floor, where the natural light was almost invisible, and the lighting was done by the dazzling gemstones covering the ground and a special Padian elf called crystal light flower.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of elf is very rare in the outside world, and can only inhabit caves or other relatively dark places, but here they bloom all over the mountains and plains.

Perhaps it was because of the repetitive and monotonous scenery, Xia Chen felt that the speed of the elevator was even slower after reaching the lower floor.

About three to five minutes later, the elevator finally stopped slowly.

The terminus, the ground floor of Area Zero has arrived.

…………

When the elevator door opened, a stream of humid air that was completely different from the ground above penetrated into the nostrils, bearing the brunt of this place's characteristics different from the outside world.

I can't say how bad it is, but because the place is full of poisonous rocks and dual-type elf crystal light flowers, Xia Chen subconsciously feels that the air here is poisonous.

The ground floor landscape is not much different from the lower floor. Without sunlight, there will be no vegetation growth. On the ground are also unknown luminous gemstones and crystal flowers.

In addition, there are many puddles of stagnant water from unknown sources.

When you look up, you can see a building made up of luminous gemstones - No. [-] Research Institute, which looks very cool.

But presumably the reason why this kind of stone was used to build the research institute is not for coolness or anything, but because it is convenient to obtain local materials-God knows how much work it will take to transport the steel and cement to the bottom of the zero zone.

The guard who accompanied Xia Chen sent him to the door, then turned and left, and took the elevator back to the top floor.

Xia Chen successfully entered the institute after unlocking the iris on the gate.

The person in charge of the reception was a cylindrical robot, and it was not known whether the core was Rotom or artificial intelligence.

"Welcome to the Zero Zone Research Institute, Dr. Xia Chen, Dr. Olin is waiting for you in Laboratory No. [-]."

Xia Chen nodded in reply, and followed behind the robot, while looking at the Zero Zone Research Institute, which is famous for its mystery.

To be fair, he has been to quite a few research institutes, but this Zone Zero research institute is still quite special among them.

Not only is there a lot of equipment that Xia Chen has never seen before, but another feature here is that there are surprisingly few people.

Along the way, Xia Chen only saw a few people in protective suits.

Probably also because of the poor isolation environment.

Following the robot to the No. [-] research room, Xia Chen finally saw Dr. Olin in a researcher's white coat.

At this moment, she was staring at the display screen outside an instrument, and what was lying inside the instrument was an iron arm that had lost consciousness.

Maybe it was the data immersed in the display screen, Xia Chen's arrival did not interrupt her attention, and she didn't turn her head to notice until the robot stepped forward to remind her.

A standard smile appeared on Dr. Olin's face, "Welcome to Institute Zero, Dr. Xia Chen."

It seems that the title of doctor can't be taken off, Xia Chen replied indifferently: "It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Olin, if you are doing important experiments, I'll wait by the side for a while."

The other party shrugged, "Not disturbing, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, Dr. Olin operated on the screen for a while, then the instrument stopped, and she inserted something like a chip into the back of the iron arm's head.

Afterwards, the future paradoxical species of iron-handed wrestler with a full body of steel suddenly woke up, and the ground trembled quite a bit when he jumped out of the instrument.

Xia Chen looked on in amazement. It was rumored that the iron arm was a biochemical elf transformed from disabled athletes in the future world. Looking at it now, this possibility is really not impossible.

The restored iron arm stepped out of the laboratory as if executing a procedure. Olin explained while saving the experimental data just now: "The research on the future paradoxical species should have been carried out by my husband, Dr. Fotu, but he is now in The fourth observation station on the lower level, so I will replace it for now."

Xia Chen nodded. It seems that the husband and wife have a clear division of labor, and the research on the ancient future is very different.

After saving the data, Dr. Olin was finally free to entertain Xia Chen, a rare visitor.

…………

"You said yesterday that you want to conduct research on paradoxical species. What is the main aspect? This is really a huge subject."

Leading Xia Chen to the reception room of the institute, Dr. Olin asked straight to the point.

"evolution."

Xia Chen replied without hesitation: "Evolution is the change and transition of elves' lives. Most elves in nature have the possibility of evolution at least once, but so far no paradoxical elves have been found to have an evolution chain, and their modern There are almost all kinds of paradoxes, and I think a breakthrough in this direction can bring enlightenment to the discovery of the truth of the paradoxical species."

Although it was an excuse, he also made up the reason in a decent way.

From Menus and Xianbu to the recent super evolution, Xia Chen is the master of elf evolution in the eyes of the outside world, and it is normal to study paradoxical species from the perspective of evolution chain.

Dr. Olin didn't doubt it, but remained silent for a while, as if she was really considering the feasibility of this direction.

The two walked in silence, clean and white like the umbrella company's research institute, only the footsteps of the two could be heard, and the silence was eerie.

Xia Chen suddenly discovered a strange thing. Dr. Olin's footsteps were very regular, as precise as a pendulum. Even well-trained soldiers could hardly achieve this level.

He remembered the phrase "Don't believe what you saw in the Zero Research Institute" that Aoki said just an hour ago when he was parting, and his heart was even more chilled.

Something is so wrong here.

With no elves guarding him, Xia Chen could only release the power of waveguide to detect the surrounding environment for danger.

But if you don't know about it, Xia Chen was frightened by it.

The environment is normal, but Dr. Olin has a big problem——

Her body structure is completely different from that of humans!

In short, Dr. Olin is not human!
This horrific discovery directly paralyzed him with fright, and he followed behind stiffly, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

No wonder Dr. Olin looks so young, and his expression is a little strange, everything has an explanation.

So, Dr. Olin, like elves like Iron Arm, is also made by future technology?

Or some conspiracy by the mysterious third god of Parthia?
Will it be the same for Dr. Foto?
Countless conjectures and possibilities flashed through Xia Chen's mind at high speed.

…………

"We are here, please come in, Dr. Xia Chen."

Olin's sudden voice interrupted Xia Chen's conjectures.

Before they knew it, they had already walked into the reception room of the research institute.

Xia Chen forced himself to be calm, walked into the reception room and sat down with his usual expression.

He needed more information about Institute Zero now, and he couldn't reveal the fact that Dr. Olin was not human for the time being.

Dr. Olin didn't seem to notice Xia Chen's strangeness. After sitting down on the other side, she said in a deep voice, "I have a little idea about your question just now."

"The paradoxical species came from the time machine researched by Futu and me, from the ancient and future worlds. Perhaps in that world, they also have a corresponding evolutionary chain."

Xia Chen pouted secretly, time machine?

It's a liar!

If the paradoxical species originated from the so-called time machine, how to explain the paradoxical species recorded in the book of nobles?

The paradoxical species took the time machine to go hundreds of years ago to see and draw it for Hai Zhe?

This timeline is too confusing, right?

Now the credibility of Dr. Olin's words is almost zero in Xia Chen's mind. On the surface, he nodded in agreement, but in his heart he said, I believe you!

He asked calmly, "Did you go in the time machine and catch the elves by yourself? Or did the elves come here by themselves?"

Dr. Olin was taken aback by these words, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only reply vaguely: "Sorry, this involves the confidentiality of the research institute, and it is not convenient to disclose it."

As expected, Xia Chen nodded secretly. According to the theory of "If you don't bring it, you haven't written it", if it is inconvenient to disclose, it means you can't say it.

As for why I can't tell, of course it's because this time machine is fictitious!
The logic is perfect, but reasoning without empirical evidence is hooliganism.

Before the truth is revealed, this is Xia Chen's personal judgment, and it has no practical significance except to provide some help for his follow-up thinking.

After chatting with Dr. Olin again, Xia Chen proposed his plan to visit Area Zero, but was not stopped by Dr. Olin, but expressed his welcome to come again at any time.

…………

After leaving the No. [-] Research Institute, the tight string in Xia Chen's heart was finally loosened.

Ever since he discovered Dr. Olin's secret, he's felt at ease everywhere in the house, and he's more at ease when he comes out.

Xia Chen didn't stay too long at the bottom floor, and directly summoned Menus from the elf ball, and drove him to the lower floor of Area Zero above.

Through the lingering clouds and mist, Xia Chen came to the lower area like a huge dark cave, and found a clean place where no paradoxical elves lived, and he released Guleton.

"I just discovered a strange thing, Dr. Olin is not human!"

Xia Chen couldn't wait to share his discovery with Guleton.

The big lizard yawned and replied flatly, "Oh, I know."

Xia Chen's eyes widened, "Didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"

So Luton asked strangely, "What's the matter? Is this a big deal? Does it matter if she's human or something?"

Xia Chen, who asked these three consecutive questions, was a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he had nothing to refute.

This incident is shocking and shocking, and the impact is really not visible at present.

So Xia Chen stopped worrying about the result, but asked the reason, "Then what's going on? She's not a human, so what is she?"

So Luton raised his head, as if recalling the past, after a long silence, he finally revealed a bit of his past.

"About ten years ago, maybe longer, sorry, I don't have a good sense of time. At that time, Olin and Fortu were still alive, and it wasn't long before Millerton and I came to this world. The contents of the "Book of Nobility" and some speculations revealed the truth of our respective worlds. Millerton couldn't accept it, so he went berserk and left. Olin and Fotu died in that accident. After that, me and Millerton broke down completely."

"As for the two [persons] now, they probably prepared in advance, the artificial intelligence or other things that prevent events like that from happening, and the rest, I can't say more."

…………

The story came to an abrupt end, and Xia Chen fell into deep thought.

Therefore, Lurton's words are too informative——

It seems that the paradoxical species really came to the zero zone through some channel
Some contents in "Book of Nobles" are about the truth of the three worlds of present, past and future
Why is this so-called truth difficult for Millerton to accept?
And the "person" who is so lifelike that it is almost impossible to distinguish between real and fake is actually artificial intelligence.
Is this something that humans can create with existing technology?
