End of the World Cycle

When Lu Chaoyun woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside. Although he still felt uncomfortable, his mind was clear. The scene he saw last night flooded into his mind. On the one hand, he felt that he had seen it wrong, but on the other hand, he felt that it was real.

When I left the room, I saw three people having breakfast. My eyes fell on the table. The three people were eating different things, especially the two zombies. They had bloody fresh meat in front of them, and the juice cups were filled with blood. Xie Qin had normal white porridge and some side dishes in front of him.

The three of them looked out of place, yet surprisingly there was a certain harmony.

"Awake?" Xie Qin raised his eyes and asked.

"Yeah." Lu Chaoyun nodded.

"Eat something and clean up. We'll be out in thirty minutes. By the way, the temperature outside is minus 46 degrees Celsius." This time Xie Qin gave him a shot of caution, and after saying that, he was ready to get up and go out. Seeing this, Lu Chaoyun trotted over.

"Anything else?"

"I have something to ask you."

"ask."

Lu Chaoyun looked at the two Shui brothers hesitantly.

"Can I ask you this in private?"

Xie Qin felt puzzled but still agreed, allowing Lu Chaoyun to follow him out of the villa. The Shui brothers also did their own things, cleaned up the table, organized their tools, and prepared to go out to continue looking for the medium portal.

Lu Chaoyun followed Xie Qin out of the door and came to a vegetable field beside the Lingquan stream. There were two level five benign mutant plants planted in the field. Lu Chaoyun knew these two plants. After all, they were the first to be discovered and studied by their first base, and later they were secretly snatched away by Xie Qin.

But now this mutant plant seems to have shrunk a lot, and the mutation characteristics have also weakened a lot. Xie Qin also discovered this recently. He held a tablet in his hand with the previous data and appearance of the two plants on it. When comparing the two, he clearly found the changes.

"They seem to be recovering their former plant characteristics." Xie Qin spoke first. After all, Lu Chaoyun's brain was much better than theirs.

"I see. When did they start changing?"

"I don't know, more than two months, probably. Two months after being transplanted here."

Lu Chaoyun's eyes fell on the roots of the plant, and then he looked at the distance between the plant and the spiritual spring water, and roughly guessed it.

"It should be related to the spiritual spring water. The mutant plants take root faster than ordinary plants. Two months is enough time for them to spread their roots to the spiritual spring water. Can I take some of this water for research?"

"Of course." Xie Qin said generously. After all, despite the efforts of his research team, there has been no results for this spiritual spring water so far. But if it is handed over to Lu Chaoyun for research, the result may be different.

Lu Chaoyun squatted by the water, observed for a while and then stood up.

"Where is the source of this water?"

"I don't know. It's a very long closed loop, but the water keeps coming out. It should be coming from one or more underground sources. I haven't found the source yet."

"This... I'm not an expert in water quality research, but this time we're looking for someone with a PhD who has strong expertise in this area."

"So what are you waiting for? Maybe this thing will be useful for your research on accelerating the ecological cycle. Let's pack up and go."

"Well... I don't think the cold-resistant things in my space can withstand such low temperatures."

“Is your system unable to redeem?”

"I have no points left. My story has ended many years ago. Also, my system is different from yours. You seem to be particularly immune to the cold."

Lu Chaoyun saw that Xie Qin was only wearing a simple windbreaker and was fine in the temperature of minus forty degrees Celsius, while he himself fainted after only a few dozen seconds.

Xie Qin understood and took out a men's protective leather jacket from the space.

"This can keep your body temperature at around ten degrees. Just put on some clothes and it will be fine."

Lu Chaoyun took the clothes, his eyes shining.

"Can this be..."

"Okay, provided you solve the problem in front of me first, then I can satisfy you with whatever you want to study."

"Ok!"

Twenty minutes later, the two appeared outside the space. The whiteness was so great that the sun in the sky looked almost the same color. Lu Chaoyun took out a compass and a map, and quickly found their location based on the time and light.

"So simple? My navigation stopped working when we entered the polar region."

"Well, the magnetic field at the poles is different, and the plates change every year, so it's difficult to locate. Even my compass is specific. I've studied it for a long time." Lu Chaoyun smiled.

"Then how far are we from the place you mentioned?"

"About 180 kilometers. Do you have a snow vehicle?"

"There is a powered sled, but it's diesel. I think it's hard to drive in this temperature. The modified off-road vehicle I drove before was compressed to a very slow speed."

"Are there helicopters?"

“Yes, but I can’t drive.”

"I will. Fly a helicopter over there."

"Okay." Xie Qin was not surprised that Lu Chaoyun knew everything. After all, he was already this old. If he were in his forties, he would probably know more than him.

The research institute is located halfway up a high mountain, buried deep in the snow-capped mountains, but the entrance is on a cliff. The advantage of the cliff is that there is no snow accumulation. It is sparsely populated and not even a mutant animal has been seen along the way.

With Lu Chaoyun there, it was very smooth to get inside. However, after entering, the two were inexplicably locked in. Lu Chaoyun looked at the leader, a man with glasses in his forties, with a look of disappointment.

"Lao He, you are the last one who should help him."

"Brother Lu, any misunderstandings between you and Xiaoxuan can be explained clearly. There is no need to leave with an outsider."

Lu Chaoyun sighed helplessly. He had built up the core research team, but now they were all on Du Mingxuan's side. It would be a lie to say he wasn't sad.

"I am taking you away not only because I am no longer cooperating with Du Mingxuan, but because there is something more important that requires your help."

"Brother Lu, don't be fooled. We are family. What do you mean by no longer cooperating? You and Xiaoxuan are a family."

"Lao He, things between him and me are really not what we thought. We can't work together anymore. Come with me. I have a way to restore the world to its original state. Don't you want to?"

"Recover? How is that possible?" The man with glasses, who was called Lao He, questioned, and then the twenty or so people behind him also began to discuss it in detail. All of them were questioning.

Lu Chaoyun knew that Du Mingxuan would not be able to arrive at this place in a short time due to his injury, so he was not in a hurry and took out the soil and images of the previous biological nuclear bomb explosion site, including a biological nuclear bomb.

When these academic geeks see research objects, they forget everything else and immediately start working on them.

Lu Chaoyun looked at Xie Qin apologetically. Xie Qin also understood what he meant and replied.

"It's okay, we still have some time."

"Give me eight hours and I will definitely take them away."

"Ah."

As a result, after a rough study, a group of people found the so-called feasibility from these things. Nearly 30 people worked out a world purification plan in just two hours.

After finding the feasibility, these people even forgot Du Mingxuan's instructions and their families far away in the First Base, and only wanted to devote themselves to the research. These people were not Zhou Bapi, who took the initiative to promise to go to the First Base to take their families away. These people looked at Xie Qin differently in an instant.

From the outsider in the beginning, he became Director Xie. He even took the initiative to recommend someone from the research institute who was more suitable for researching this project. He said it in more detail than Lu Chaoyun knew.

Everyone was excitedly packing up the things they needed for the research, and began to pack up the big and small bags, but they didn't notice that Xie Qin was already looking at the place carefully.

A molecular bullet was fired, waking everyone up, and then the layout of the entire mountain research institute appeared in Xie Qin's system.

"No need to collect it. I can put everything inside."

Lu Chaoyun looked at Xie Qin in surprise, and found it incredible. This is a three-story building, each floor covers more than 800 square meters. It takes a lot of skill to store everything here. Although he was surprised and unbelievable, Lu Chaoyun did not question it. Instead, he asked everyone to stop what they were doing.

They were asked to find a chair and sit down. After receiving Xie Qin's signal, everyone, including Lu Chaoyun, felt their bodies lose weight. The next second, warm sunlight came through the window that was originally just for decoration.

"This!!! This... Where is this!!???" Many people leaned over the window and looked at the birdsong and flowers outside in surprise. They hadn't seen such warm sunshine and flowers for many years. Even such fresh air was the first time they smelled it in so many years.

And all this happened in an instant, just like a dream. His eyes turned to Xie Qin, looking at the beautiful girl. Although she was half-kneeling on the ground due to excessive mental energy consumption, her lips were pale and cold sweat was on her forehead, she looked even more powerful.

Scientific researchers are never afraid of the unknown, but only feel excited. After adapting to this situation, they were able to start research in just ten minutes.

Their building was located next to the previous research institute. Led by Lu Chaoyun, the two buildings were extremely well planned and soon entered a virtuous research cycle.

Xie Qin did not waste any time and continued to collect the useful people they mentioned based on the clues provided by these people.
