I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 124 Photosynthetic Swarm

The satellite system on the suspension vehicle is displaying the surface conditions of the entire city on the screen. The ice cap has raised the city’s altitude by nearly 50 meters. Looking at the extremely complicated contour map, Dong Zheng can’t help but suspect that this place really used to be a city. city?

The wind was a bit strong, and the suspension car could only drive close to the ground, shaking slightly constantly. The wind and snow greatly reduced visibility. Looking out from the car, there was only a blur of whiteness.

Ever since she came out of the underground base, Wang Que has become a little quieter. There are really too many bugs here. Although most of them are sleeping, she can still feel it vaguely.With the addition of a huge number, these tiny inductions became a terrifying consciousness, dormant in her brain, waiting for orders and summons.

Dong Linhai saw her discomfort, tilted his head and thought for a second, touched the girl's arm, and said, "Are you afraid of bugs?"

Wang Que nodded.

Dong Linhai: "Then did you ever catch grasshoppers or crickets when you were young?"

Wang Que: "Yes, I was playing with the neighbor's children at that time, and there were many on the wall at night, and our children caught them together and put them in cages."

Dong Linhai didn't understand: "That shouldn't be, why are you afraid now?"

Wang Que smiled helplessly: "I still have a lot of things that I wasn't afraid of when I was young, but I don't dare to do them now. I don't know why the older I get, the more timid I become."

"Maybe girls and boys are not the same." Dong Linhai said, "Actually, I was also afraid. After a while, when I was in kindergarten, I liked to dig watermelon worms in the small garden. They were the gray flat ones. It is a small bug that curls up into a ball when it is in danger. It is a bit like the bug we saw just now. Once I grabbed a whole bottle and came home at night and then I was allergic and turned red all over. Rash, itchy and up all night. My brother should know about it."

Dong Zheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, kept listening to their conversation, nodded and said: "I remember, you rolled on the floor and cried so loudly that I couldn't fall asleep all night."

Dong Linhai: "...you just say you remember it, don't explain it in such detail."

Wang Que couldn't hold back her smile, Dong Linhai saw the curve of her lips, and for some reason, felt a subtle satisfaction in his heart.

Dong Linhai had also dated two girlfriends before, and to be honest, they were all chasing him. After all, he was the second young master of the Dong family who was rich, cool and stylish at that time. He was simply the dream lover of thousands of girls. Waiting for a period of time felt boring, Dong Linhai didn't delay him, and broke up directly and simply, chic and happy.

But now, he is just struggling to survive in the pure white world like so many pilgrims.

Apart from all the advantages given by his family, he is really just an ordinary boy.

But now he has the biggest advantage, that is, he can be in love with each other for a long time!As long as we get along for a long time and care more about each other, Wang Que will definitely be interested in him... right?

To be honest, Dong Linhai was not sure.

The wind and snow outside gradually became smaller. Dong Zheng and Ai Lun took turns driving. Lin Hangzhi showed them the road conditions and acted as a guide, while three and a half older children, two real and one fake, sat in the back, talking endlessly. chatting.

After all, the box was only entered for the training of the members of the wonton splitter team. In order to achieve a good effect, Cui Zuojing should not have too much intervention, so he touched the fish with peace of mind.

The car was swayed by the wind, Cui Zuojing also swayed, and was soon trapped by the sway. He yawned, and when he was about to squint for a while, he suddenly felt that the car stopped.

"I'll go down for a while, wait a minute." Dong Zheng put on his helmet again, and got out of the car with Alan without saying what to do.

Cui Zuojing regained his energy, turned over and lay down on the car window, watching the two step into the waist-deep snow, sinking in, almost opening the way with their bodies, forcibly pawing five feet in the snow. six meters away.

Thanks to the two of them, if Wang Que went down, he would probably be buried in his chest.

The protective clothing is very light, so it is not as laborious as imagined. Dong Zhengcai stopped when he walked to a protruding ice rock not far away. to look at.

Dong Zheng has been observing his surroundings since he came out. In today's extremely harsh climate, even the most tenacious bryophytes cannot grow, and the whole world is completely white.

But just now, he caught a glimpse of a distinctive green.

This is a dark green lump with a thick layer, attached to the ice stone, and has a furry feeling, unlike any known plant.

"Is this a plant?" Alan's voice was muffled in the helmet. Just now he, Dong Zheng, and Lin Hangzhi had already discussed the issue of the biosphere in this world. Since there are so many bugs, there must be a lot of them around. A producer who can convert inorganic matter into organic matter, providing them with the food they need to survive.

"It doesn't look like it." Dong Zheng stretched out his hand and touched the green lightly.

The moment the gloves of the protective clothing touched it, the entire green block immediately became active, turning into countless tiny dots, disintegrating and moving in all directions quickly, and some climbed onto Dong Zheng's gloves and quickly followed him The arm moves.

"Fuck." Dong Zheng was taken aback, he couldn't hold back his foul language, and quickly knocked off the bugs on his body.Allen backed away in fright, forgetting that he was not in a normal terrain environment, and one of them didn't stand still, and shot directly into the thick snow, leaving a human-shaped crater more than half a meter deep.

"This thing is still a bug?!" Allen hurriedly got up, and saw that the swarm of bugs scattered due to Dong Zheng's stimulation regrouped in another sunny place, forming a piece of green.

"Go back first." Dong Zheng didn't jump to conclusions, and the two returned to the suspension vehicle the same way. In just a short while, the road they walked out was already covered with snow.

The car door blocked the wind and snow, and Lin Hangzhi, who saw the two people's reactions from the window, asked eagerly, "How is it?"

"It's not a real plant." Dong Zheng stretched out his hand, and in his palm, there was a little green spot that was crushed to death before it could escape in time.

Cui Zuojing and the others also came over, they took a closer look, Lin Hangzhi frowned: "Is this still a bug?"

"Probably not exactly." Cui Zuojing said, "Doctor Lin, do you think this color looks like blue algae?"

Lin Hangzhi immediately understood Cui Zuojing's meaning: "You mean that this bug, like blue algae, contains photosynthetic pigments in its body that can carry out photosynthesis?"

Cui Zuojing: "Basically, I'm not good at biology, but you just need to understand what I mean."

Dong Linhai scratched his head: "Aren't chloroplasts capable of photosynthesis?"

"Like many photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria do not have organelles in rows, and only rely on light and pigments such as chlorophyll for photosynthesis." Lin Hangzhi explained, "At first, I thought that there might be many chemosynthetic bacteria here as Producers support the biosphere, but I always feel that there may not be so many inorganic substances for them to transform. Now it seems that if some bugs can evolve organelles for photosynthesis or contain photosynthetic pigments...use their huge number as producers , that's not impossible."

"Compared with traditional plants, this structure has a greater survival advantage. It can be dispersed to avoid danger and disasters. It can be formed in a place with good light at any time to have better photosynthetic efficiency. It seems... quite scientific. ?”

Allen sighed: "It's kind of magical to be both an animal and a plant."

Dong Zheng: "It is estimated that there will be many miraculous things in the future, let's keep going."

Xiao Chong's body was thrown aside, and now Alan was driving. Dong Zheng took a rest. There was a lot of snow on his protective clothing. Cui Zuojing helped him take pictures and took off his helmet to breathe.

Dong Zheng exhaled a long breath of white mist, the car was still not very warm, the water vapor condensed on his long and dense eyelashes, forming thin ice flowers.

Cui Zuojing looked left and right, and really felt that a man who looks like this is quite heroic and unfeminine, and he is really favored by God.

Sensing Cui Zuojing's gaze, Dong Zheng also looked over: "?"

"It's okay." The boy stuffed the helmet into his arms, "You look handsome."

Dong Zheng almost choked on his own saliva. He had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and he couldn't control his face getting hot because of this ridicule, but it was very cold around him, so he shouldn't be able to see it.

Wang Que silently covered her face, and repeatedly warned herself in her heart: No, you can't knock the cp of a real person casually. This is a disrespect to both parties. If Brother Dong and Brother Cui knew about it, they would probably beat her to death. !

But...but it's really sweet and sua!

Serious (Zheng Jing) isrio!

The snow was much lighter, the sun gradually came out, and the visibility improved a lot. As the wind gradually dropped, the suspension car also became stable.

Now they are 29 kilometers away from the base. The Institute of Biochemistry is in the northwest, while the base is in the east. The route given by the terminal needs to pass through the urban area. Of course, it is only the urban area back then.

The levitation car drove slowly but steadily, and nothing unexpected happened for nearly two hours. Although they knew that it was impossible to be calm in the box, everyone couldn't help but relax their tense nerves.

No one can bear it if it is stretched all the time.

When the countdown became 64:34:21, the car suddenly vibrated and stopped immediately. Cui Zuojing, who was leaning on the carriage in a daze, was framed unstable and fell into Dong Zheng's arms , I didn't get up for a long time.

"What's going on?" Dong Zheng asked the driver's cab without helping him out of some ulterior motives.

"I don't know. There's nothing in front. Is there a rock stuck on the ground?" Lin Hang was at a loss. He kept paying attention to the road conditions, and the satellite image also showed that there were no large obstacles ahead. How could he suddenly stop?

Allen, who was driving, kept trying to reverse the car and turn forward. He tried all the methods he could think of, but he couldn't move the car any more.

"It should be stuck." Allen sighed, with a bad guess, and sighed, "I hope we don't have to hike on the next road. Come on, who will accompany me to go out and have a look?"

"I'll do it." Dong Linhai volunteered. Looking at the pure white outside, Wang Que felt a call from somewhere.

She frowned suspiciously and stood up: "I'll go too."
