third rebirth

Research room.

The night poured in from the glass window, Bai Hengyun sat on the edge of the long table in the rest area, spinning a black pen in his hand, writing and drawing on a stack of white paper from time to time, the messy formulas and data few people could understand .

With a "click", the pen landed on the table.She came back to her senses and heard the sound of the wheelchair rubbing against the ground. She looked back and laughed, "Are you here too?"

"Hmm." Ling Dingnan maneuvered the wheelchair to the table, saw Bai Hengyun was holding the black handle of the coffee pot, and wanted to pour the last bit of coffee into the cup, so he reached out to stop him.

"Have you forgotten the last time you fainted in the laboratory with stomach bleeding?"

Bai Hengyun paused, put the coffee pot back, compromised, "Okay, listen to Professor Ling."

Ling Dingnan laughed at her, "You just don't have a long memory."

"I just need you to help me remember." Bai Hengyun also smiled, "Speaking of which, your son's injuries are healed, he can jump and jump, and you still can't get out of the wheelchair."

Ling Dingnan knew that the rest of the coffee would not be finished, Bai Hengyun panicked, so he just poured it out and drank it himself, "It tastes good." He put down the coffee cup, "It really is, but that kid doesn't know it is Whoever it is, is as strong as a cow."

At this time, there was a muffled sound of "Boom—" and the window glass shook. Bai Hengyun listened for a while, "The momentum is good. Professor Lu and Professor Lei are really good at making weapons."

A slightly old voice came from the side, "Are you praising me behind my back?"

Bai Hengyun and Ling Dingnan looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Lu Ande and Lei Bangyu walking in. Their long white lab coats were buttoned up neatly without any wrinkles.

Bai Hengyun greeted with a smile, "You two haven't slept yet?"

"Both of you husband and wife didn't sleep either." Lu Ande waved his hands, and tapped the top of his head with little hair left, "Where can I sleep, it's a mess outside." With his hands behind his back, his figure was slightly hunched, and he stood at the Looking out of the window, I sighed, "You said these people, don't the food taste good? The water doesn't taste good? They have to keep calling all day long."

The smiles of Ling Dingnan and Bai Hengyun also faded.

Lu Ande took a step, sat across from Bai Hengyun, and sighed deeply, "It may be a bit contradictory to say it, but although I am a weapon researcher, I don't know how many bombs and machine guns I have produced, but from my heart, everything All weapons should be used for protection and deterrence, not to start a war and hurt people's lives."

Lei Bangyu has always been reticent, just nodded in agreement.

Bai Hengyun said "hmm", "Maybe everyone thinks they have good reasons and have something they want to protect or obtain." As she spoke, she shook the empty coffee cup in her hand, and the top of her head was cold and pale. The lights fell, making her look less peaceful and approachable than usual, "Humans are a very strange species."

Lu Ande couldn't agree more, "A million years of human history is a million years of war history. Whether it's famine, plague, or prosperity, war is always inevitable. Humans always have various reasons to go to war."

Ling Dingnan put his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, buttoned the top button of his white shirt meticulously, and said, "Yes, when the environment deteriorated, the scramble for survival resources was bloody, and the nuclear weapons were almost released. How many people have been killed. After the Noah system came out, some people began to dream of controlling Noah's world and eternal life."

Bai Hengyun laughed, "In comparison, we all seem to be idealists." At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "duk tuk tuk" knocking on the glass, and Bai Hengyun turned his head to look, surprised, " Ye Xiao?"

She got up and walked over quickly, opened the window, and saw Ye Xiao with one hand on the window, hanging in mid-air.After a moment of shock, she was frightened, and her voice became sharper, "This is the fourth floor!" As she spoke, she turned sideways to let him in quickly.

Ye Xiao jumped lightly, as if bringing a gust of night wind.Looking again, people have already entered.

Bai Hengyun saw that he was wearing a combat uniform jacket that was obviously too wide for two circles, and he had a white face with dust everywhere, and he looked anxious.

Unable to get angry at all, Bai Hengyun stretched out his hand and patted the white ash and dead leaves that he didn't know where he got on, and his tone became gentle again, "Why don't you go through the door and climb the window instead? What if you fall? manage?"

"Climbing the window is the fastest. It won't fall. I am very skilled."

While answering, Ye Xiao obediently stood still, letting Bai Hengyun pat him back and forth, but his ears turned red.

After helping Ye Xiao straighten his collar, and by the way, straighten his upturned hair, Bai Hengyun looked up into his eyes, "Well, you came here on purpose, did something happen?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "There's a man with vertical eyes at the holy judge, who sneaked in quietly, and he should be here soon, the target is the core of the area."

Bai Hengyun understood, her eyes sank, and she thought for a moment, "The Holy Inquisitor wants to use a frontal attack to attract most of the attention, and then let the vertical pupil sneak in, steal the core of the area and research materials, and finally use the temporary base Detailed coordinate points, direct long-range precision strikes?"

Ye Xiao nodded again, "The captain also said so."

At this time, the electronic sound of Noah's machine came out, "The mission target is approaching quickly, coming from the southeast."

Ye Xiao turned around and walked quickly to the window, leaned on the window sill and looked southeast, and asked Noah in his heart, "Where is the core of the area now?"

"Bai Hengyun carries it with me."

"Ok."

Holding the long knife, Ye Xiao turned around and looked at Bai Hengyun, "I'm going down first, you stay here first, if there is any danger, I will come to rescue you."

Seeing his earnest promise, Bai Hengyun raised his hand to stroke his hair, "Well, be careful."

"it is good."

Ye Xiao supported the window sill with one hand, and jumped down like a falcon, startling Bai Hengyun.After seeing clearly that Ye Xiao reached out and grabbed the protruding decorative structure of the wall halfway, and slowed down the force of his fall, he was relieved.

ground.

Ye Xiao came here alone, but Ling Chen had arranged for four teams to guard around the small building where the scientific research room was located, in case of accidents.Seeing Ye Xiao, a squad leader who was waiting downstairs approached, "The monitoring system did not indicate that there was an enemy approaching."

Ye Xiao was sure, "The man with vertical pupils is already very close, and the equipment can't capture his movements."

The team leader wanted to refute that the instrument would not go wrong, but seeing Ye Xiao's cold face while holding the long knife, his sense of crisis made him instinctively shut up and not speak.

Suddenly, his ears caught an unusual movement, Ye Xiao put his hand on the handle of the jet-black knife, and stared at the dark path on the left with his eyes, "Here we come."

"Where—" Before the team leader's question could be uttered, two figures flew towards him, and with a "bang", they fell heavily on the ground, splashing dust and blood at the same time. .

By the light of the street lamp, it can be seen that the necks of the two people who fell on the ground were twisted, the bones of the whole body seemed to be crushed, and the limbs were bent strangely. It took a few seconds for them to die after landing, and then disappeared. land.

Immediately afterwards, a man nearly two meters tall appeared from the darkness.His skin was extremely pale, and the blue blood vessels under the skin could be seen, which made his face cracked into several pieces like a poor-quality mask.Walking silently, there was no movement at all, his pale blond hair, and green vertical pupils glowing fiercely made him look completely unhuman.

The team leader grasped the gun in his hand tightly, and a chill rushed to his heart from the soles of his feet, his voice trembling unconsciously, "... that direction, originally... twenty people were guarding it."

This weird man with vertical pupils came here unscathed, which can only show that the twenty people were all dead, and the man with vertical pupils was not injured at all.

Ye Xiao didn't answer, he observed carefully and finally confirmed, "He's a snake."

The man with vertical pupils didn't make a sound, he found his real opponent in the crowd at a glance. After standing still, he moved his neck and made a crisp "pop" sound.The muscles on the side of the neck were stretched, and the huge explosive force could be felt.

Ye Xiao, like Ling Chen, does not have a physique with exaggerated muscles, but a tough and well-proportioned physique cultivated under high-intensity training and countless experiments since childhood. The muscles are only a thin layer, tight It is attached to the bones and muscles, but it contains a lot of huge power.

It's just that in comparison, Ye Xiao is a little thinner, and he still has a youthful look on his body. In addition, he is wearing Ling Chen's black combat uniform jacket, and his face is not big, making him look even smaller.

It's not enough to see people with vertical pupils.

Ye Xiao had no sense of fear, his hand was still on the handle of the knife, and the two stood facing each other, observing each other.

It was a night in August, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of the team leader, his Adam's apple moved, and he took a few steps back carefully.

The night wind blows through the treetops, the branches and leaves rustle, and there are faint gunshots in the distance, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

I don't know who made the move first, and with a "shua", the long knife came out of its sheath, reflecting the cold light of the street lamp, dazzling people's eyes in the deep night.Ye Xiao's muscles tightened, his back was straightened, he tiptoed to the ground, a few run-ups, and as soon as he started, he aimed at the straight-eyed man's heart.

The man with vertical pupils stood on the spot, but remained motionless as if he hadn't reacted, allowing the point of the knife to stab his chest fiercely with a fierce offensive.

wrong.

Night Breeze lifted Ye Xiao's broken hair, and there was a soft "呲" sound in his ears, as if the tip of a knife had scratched something hard.

Ye Xiao withdrew his hand like lightning, raised his eyes, and met the interested eyes of the vertical pupil - he was playing with him.

While retreating rapidly, Ye Xiao had great control over every muscle in his body, and forced his body to the right, successfully avoiding the heavy punch from the vertical pupil man.

Landing back two and a half steps in a row, and regaining his footing, Ye Xiao recalled the feeling just now - the tip of the knife did penetrate through the clothes, and the position was precisely pierced into the vertical pupil's heart, but -

Two seconds later, Ye Xiao lifted his breath and attacked again!

The difference is that this time, the blade of the long knife was cut directly on the arm of the vertical pupil.

With a "bang", Ye Xiao clearly saw that the moment the blade touched the skin of his arm, a layer of black scales quickly appeared on the skin of the vertical pupil, protecting the flesh and blood, and resisting the force of the blade. .

After confirming that his guess was correct, Ye Xiao withdrew to the spot and did not move any more. He secretly moved his right hand holding the knife twice.

At this moment, the team leader next to him suddenly fired three shots "bang bang bang", hitting the vertical pupil man's chest, neck and forehead respectively.But the black scales that suddenly appeared and quickly retracted and disappeared directly bounced off the bullet.

The team leader opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it. Looking at the man with vertical pupils who was still unharmed, his lips turned white, his breathing trembled, and his pupils shrunk even smaller than the eye of a needle.

Ye Xiao sensitively noticed that because of the shooting of the bullet, it seemed that the fierceness of the vertical pupil was aroused, and the opponent's eyes turned a little bloody.

He firmly grasped the handle of the knife, imitating Ling Chen's tone, "You lead people back, without my permission, you are not allowed to shoot at will."

Maybe it was because Ye Xiao's voice was too cold, or maybe it was because the invulnerability of the vertical pupil was too frightening, the team leader did as Ye Xiao said.

After several more fights, Ye Xiao realized that he was not fighting anyone at all.

When he used the attack to attract the attention of the man with vertical pupils, causing the other party to reveal the back of his neck that was defenseless, Ye Xiao shot very quickly, hitting the man with vertical pupils on the back of his neck without leaving any strength.Although his strength was a little weaker than Ling Chen's, this heavy punch could almost smash a normal person's cervical spine into pieces.

But the movement and figure of the man with vertical pupils did not stop at all.

In a blink of an eye, the man with vertical pupils tilted his neck, and his right hand tightly grasped Ye Xiao's left shoulder like an eagle's claw. His sharp nails pierced into the flesh, and the blood quickly overflowed!Immediately afterwards, he punched Ye Xiao in the abdomen!

Relying on his body's instincts, Ye Xiao retreated in time, dissipating most of the force, but was still sent flying like a kite, until his back hit the tree trunk hard, his spine was in severe pain, as if it was about to break.

Coughing for a while, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, Ye Xiao looked up at the man with vertical pupils standing far away, his eyes were cold.He casually wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood up again.

Perhaps stimulated by the blood, the man with vertical pupils suddenly opened his mouth wide, exposing the fangs inside, hissing like a snake, and then his neck bent into a horrifying arc like a snake like a predator. Attacking Ye Xiao quickly!

Ye Xiao kicked his feet against the tree trunk, sank his center of gravity, and flew forward, avoiding the opponent's strange attack, his movements were almost extreme.But Ye Xiao didn't expect that the other party's waist seemed to have no bones, twisted to almost [-] degrees, and grabbed his left ankle!

His figure was unstable, and Ye Xiao fell to the ground. In an instant, he put his left hand on the ground, controlled his left foot to flip violently, and then his right foot came down from above like lightning, and precisely hit the vertical pupil's wrist, " With a bang, Ye Xiao was sure that the opponent's bones were broken.

But the man with vertical pupils seemed to lack the sense of pain, he didn't respond, and the strength in his hands didn't relax in the slightest.

Ye Xiao's heart sank, and suddenly he stretched his upper body upwards with force from his waist, and at the same time drew out a knife, stabbing straight into the eyes of the man with vertical pupils—as expected!

Instinct made the vertical-eyed person avoid this attack, and the five fingers tightly gripping Ye Xiao's ankle loosened for a moment. Ye Xiao seized the opportunity, broke free from the restraint in a second, and stood up again.

The blood on the lips had solidified, and the snow-colored skin was extremely dazzling.Ye Xiao's eyes were dark, and the long knife in his hand reflected a cold white light. He said coldly, "Your weakness has been exposed."
