Delusion Master

By the time Professor Cheng hurriedly summoned them again, it was already three days after the "failed stabilizer test".

As soon as Bai Yuan and Wei Lin entered the door, Cheng Lixin couldn't wait to greet him: "I thought of it! Sigh, I should have thought of it long ago!"

"Speak slowly, old man, come on, let's take it easy." Wei Lin smiled and poured a glass of purified water and handed it over, "What method do you think of to improve the stabilizer?"

Professor Cheng drank a few sips of water, calmed down, and said, "Didn't I say last time that although you can provide me with pure human genes, there is still a lack of animals and plants. Later, I let people venture out of the bunker and go north." Go further afield to collect plant seeds, want to get pure and pollution-free genes, but the ones you can get back are not good. When I was flipping through a meeting minutes just now, I suddenly thought of a place-'Doomsday Dome'! There must be I have what I need!"

"What dome, where is it? Old man, please tell me more in detail." Wei Lin said.

Professor Cheng explained the ins and outs as concisely as possible: "The so-called 'Doomsday Dome' is a global gene pool located on the fish country Svalbard, built on the frozen ground about a thousand kilometers from the North Pole. Inspired by 'Noah' Inspired by the Ark, ten years ago, Yuguo took the lead in proposing the construction of an unprecedented gene bank. At the beginning, it only collected the seeds of nearly a million kinds of crops, in order to face nuclear war, asteroid impact, climate change, sea level When there is a doomsday crisis such as rising, open and use when no other seeds are available from the outside world, so that humans can re-establish agricultural production on this planet.

"Later, with the support of all countries in the world, including Huaxia, a global biological information database, a biological gene sample bank, and a biological living resource bank were gradually added to it... As you can imagine, it is the largest museum, botanical garden, zoo, and aquarium for mankind. , a collection of microbiology halls, storing hundreds of millions of samples and data, is a real Noah's Ark.

"It is 120 meters deep under the permafrost of the Arctic Circle, and the temperature is kept below zero all year round. The samples can be preserved for 200 years without any energy source. The defense facilities are stronger than the nuclear-proof bunker we are in. According to the usual practice,' The Doomsday Vault is only opened once a year in the summer for internal inspection and replenishment of new genes. It was just opened in July this year, and then closed again a few days later, and the trigger leak occurred in September, so the inside of it All animal and plant genetic samples should be clean and pollution-free.

"What I need now is to arrive there with equipment and a few laboratory assistants, and use the genetic data and samples stored inside to further improve these defective semi-finished products until the perfect gene stabilizer is developed. You and Bai Yuan, can Get us there safely?"

After speaking, Professor Cheng looked at Wei Lin and Bai Yuan expectantly.

Of course you have to send it, you have to send it up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​​​fire, not to mention just going to the Arctic Circle!Wei Lin was so moved that he wanted to cry: This task, which is both difficult and troublesome, is finally about to be completed. I really saw the dawn of hope in the extreme night!

He grabbed the back of Bai Yuan's hand, put it in Professor Cheng's palm together with his own, and replied with tears in his eyes: "Old man, leave everything to me and Bai Yuan, you can rest assured!"

Cheng Lixin patted the backs of their hands with his other hand in relief.

Bai Yuan glanced at the projections of the three people on the glass door—suddenly felt that this scene was a bit weird, as if a couple of newlyweds put their hands in the palms of a respected old pastor at the same time, in order to get God's blessing.

He turned his gaze back to Wei Lin's side face, and began to imagine Wei Lin wearing a white wedding dress and a wreath on his head even more strangely. Then he opened the jewelry box and put a diamond ring on his slender ring finger devoutly— -stop!stop!What is he thinking about!

Wei Lin is a man!male!He is a man! !The alarm bell rang in Bai Yuan's heart, and after emphasizing the other party's gender a dozen times, he finally drove the illusion of the white wedding dress out of his mind - he replaced it with a white suit with a fiery red rose pinned to his left chest, which seemed to be That's right... After finally realizing what he was imagining, Bai Yuan's cold sweat poured out all of a sudden, wetting the fabric of his back.

——In such a moment of confusion, he actually wanted to marry Wei Lin!

Marry the acting personality (mistake), homosexuality (big mistake), frivolous, lazy, glib, flirtatious, indecisive, very smart, cute, and handsome work partner—Mr. Wei Lin... …

The sky is falling!Five thunders struck the top!

It was as if Mr. Bai's spiritual cover had been split open by a bolt of lightning, smashing all the cognitive systems, knowledge structures and moral norms of the past nearly 30 years to pieces!

He withdrew his hand abruptly, and pressed the temples on both sides with his palms, as if he heard the sound of thousands of cranial nerves breaking and dying, crackling like countless broken fireworks exploding in the skull.

"What's the matter, headache?" Wei Lin turned to look at him, his tone was unexpectedly concerned, "Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

Bai Yuan put down his hand and shook his head expressionlessly.

Wei Lin looked at his expression, and felt that the arrogant and cold-eyed look was not much different from usual, so he was relieved, and turned to Professor Cheng and said, "When are you going to leave?"

"The sooner the better. I heard that the situation outside is very bad. Diseased monsters have already occupied the urban area of ​​the capital, and the immuners have all moved to the outskirts. Only the evolutionaries are still working hard to clean up. However, there is nothing they can do. The number is still too small. Most of the other small and medium-sized cities have already fallen." Professor Cheng sighed heavily, "Look at what we need to prepare for this trip, I will see if I can contact you Go to the capital headquarters and let them find a way to prepare."

"Svalbard in the Arctic Circle." A detailed three-dimensional world map emerged in Wei Lin's mind, "Polar climate, with an annual average temperature of 8-10 degrees and a minimum of minus 30 degrees, covered with glaciers and tundra , known as the 'cold coast'. There are no commercial flights on the local island, and there is a considerable distance from the nearest city airport. You can only cross the strait by ship or helicopter. It is currently mid-October, and the local temperature is still low. It’s too low, maybe minus five or six degrees. But the more troublesome thing is that we won’t see the sun from the end of October to the beginning of March next year. We have to arrive before the polar night in November, otherwise it will be very inconvenient. Oh, by the way, the local population is sparsely populated, and there are more polar bears than people."

Bai Yuan concluded: "We need an international flight to arrive at Yuguo, and then transfer to a helicopter. After going to the island, we need off-road vehicles and lighting equipment. Individuals are equipped with warm clothes, hiking equipment, self-defense weapons, etc."

Wei Lin looked at Professor Cheng worriedly, feeling that his emaciated body and spirit would not be able to bear this trip at all, and he would be dragged down by the bitter cold climate and harsh environment in the polar regions.But if Professor Cheng didn't accompany him, he wouldn't know what useful data and samples to extract from the huge gene bank.This is really a big dilemma...

etc!Since you don't know which ones to extract, then bring back a little of each!Wei Lin suddenly thought of the special ability he had just developed—the mysterious space that can absorb matter and exist in which dimension.In the bunker, he had experimented before when he had nothing to do, and as a result, he absorbed all the supplies in a food warehouse the size of a basketball court, and he didn't feel full.At that moment, he simply suspected that this was the Qiankun bag in ancient myths and legends, the magic weapon of the "Nasumi in Mustard Seeds"—perhaps the so-called immortal family of the ancients is actually a kind of magic weapon that has passed through the long river of time. Alien civilizations that are in contact with the earth...

Some divergence was too much, Wei Lin took back his jumping thinking, and felt that this line of thinking could be adopted, but he had to think carefully about how to explain to Professor Cheng that he could almost move the entire gene pool back——

"Grandpa, there is something I have been forgetting to tell you," Wei Lin made up his mind, and smiled shyly at Cheng Lixin, "Although you have detected that my genes have not changed, I am actually an evolutionary. "

Professor Cheng really showed surprise: "Oh? This is impossible... However, I must also admit that there used to be many hypotheses that seemed illogical and contrary to common sense, and many of them later became scientific progress. Part of it. Forget it, now is not the time to discuss this, what is your evolution ability?"

Wei Lin thought about it and said, "I think it's the ability of space. I can absorb a lot of substances, many, many. I don't know which dimension or space they are stored in, but they can be taken out at any time, and they still retain the original space when they were put in." Status. I've tried many times and it never went wrong. So I don't think you need to risk your life and work on this trip to the North Pole."

Professor Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "In other words, you think you can bring back... everything in the gene pool? Does that space really have such a large capacity?"

Wei Lin nodded: "If it's just samples and data, it's definitely enough. Because the time flow rate in that space is different from that of the outside world, I don't need to carry various genetic storage equipment such as freezers and other space-consuming genetic storage equipment, and directly store various animal and plant genetic samples. , and the hard drive of the supercomputer that holds the data, just throw them all in.”

As he said that, he demonstrated it casually, absorbed a two-meter-high gene sequencer in the laboratory, and put it back in place after a while.

This move completely shocked Professor Cheng, and he was speechless for a while.After being amazed, he said: "Now I have great confidence in you, and I believe that you can bring the gene pool back."

Wei Lin also smiled and said: "I also have full confidence in you, old man, knowing that you will definitely eliminate this disaster and save survivors all over the world."

Professor Cheng laughed as if he had received the highest award. Even on the day he went to accept the Nobel Prize, he never smiled so heartily.

"We still need some teammates, not too many, the original few evolutionaries are enough." Wei Lin said.

Professor Cheng nodded: "I remember, six people, three men and three women. The other two disappeared after skydiving."

"The six are fine, I will write down the names and related information for you."

"Okay, I will contact the headquarters with the list and ask them to find these six people and send them to the gate of the bunker. Also, ask them to talk to Yuguo and arrange the plane to go there. Now that civilian flights have been grounded, you can only Take a private plane to go there, and then change to other means of transportation when you arrive at the local area."

The bunker was rich in materials, and the preparations for going to the Arctic Circle were carried out in an orderly manner. In the early morning of the next day, several familiar faces also appeared in the open space outside the bunker.

"Wei Lin! Bai Yuan!" Loblolly pine waved his arms, and Da Li Yuan happily greeted each other, "Long time no see, you seem to be living a good life."

Wei Lin and Bai Yuan approached and sized up their former teammates:

Loblolly pine's flat-cut hair is a bit longer, but still heroic; Lin Yue tied her shoulder-length hair into a short ponytail, which is more beautiful and beautiful-the appearance and gender of the two people have completely changed, and they complement each other very much when standing together.

Lu Fengping's tan was even darker, but he also had an elite, restrained and powerful aura than before.

Lin Xiaoshi didn't change much, but Luo Jinxiu's brows were stained with her cheerful and firm expression, and the bitterness faded a lot.The two stood arm in arm and looked like their relationship had become public.

There were two basically healed scars on Wang Shengli's neck, and the new flesh was a little itchy. He stretched out his hand to scratch it from time to time, and then shrank back embarrassedly.

"Very good, everyone's parts are here, and no one is missing an arm or a leg." Wei Lin joked and greeted, "I said earlier that we will meet again. Now, an important task about the survival of the human race is coming. You have a chance to be the superheroes and saviors in the movies."

Lin Yue scoffed shamelessly: "Come on, I just want to survive with everyone, just live happily."

Loblolly pine also waved his hand: "Don't make up those vain rhetoric. In a word, as long as you can completely eliminate those monsters and restore your previous life, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."

Lin Xiaoshi said: "White Team, Guards, you two just don't leave us behind."

Wei Lin smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I have prepared clothes and equipment for you all. After you distribute them yourself, pack a backpack and get ready to get in the car and head to the airport."

"Let's go now? Where are you going?" Lu Fengping asked.

"A place you have never been to, a luxury international tour with a chartered flight - the Svalbard Islands in the Arctic Circle. The area is icy and snowy and inaccessible. This season is full of glaciers and frozen soil. Polar bears, arctic foxes, seals, and walruses are everywhere. All of them, of course I hope they have not had time to be affected by the virus gene, and still maintain their original ecology." Wei Lin is like a black-hearted tour guide, talking about the palpitating reality that the crisis is lurking in a sweet tone.

Lu Fengping laughed: "It doesn't sound very difficult, polar travel, not bad."

Before getting into the car, Lin Xiaoshi found a free space and said to Wei Lin privately, "Guard, I have something to tell you. A few days ago, I saw Jiang Qiang and Zhong Yaoshi on the outskirts of the city."

Wei Lin: "They? Read that right?"

Lin Xiaoshi: "I can't be mistaken. It seems that after they parachuted and disappeared, they also went to the capital. But there is one thing I don't understand. It stands to reason that seeing the lost team members should be very happy to come to meet, but Jiang When Qiang saw me, he looked suspicious, lowered his hat, pretended not to see me and slipped away. I never saw them again.”

Wei Lin thought for a while, then nodded: "I see, you should get in the car first."

Turning around, he told Bai Yuan about it.Bai Yuan said: "Two sneaky mice, although they can't cause any trouble, but if they bite here and there secretly, it's quite annoying."

Wei Lin agreed: "I will pay more attention. Okay, let's go, and wish us a successful completion of the task. By the way, did I tell you that after this job is finished, Mike Liu promised us three days of paid leave ?”

"No."

"Ah, haha, then I'll tell you now. How do you plan to use your vacation, rest? Or where to go?"

Bai Yuan took his eyes away from him—after watching too much, his thoughts became confused again, and he still couldn't see it, so he said casually: "I haven't thought about it, I'll talk about it later."

"Oh." Wei Lin dialed his forehead a little bored, "How about going to the home for stray cats in the park some time, maybe you can meet your favorite, or do you think it is the same as that in the pet store? Are purebred cats sold more 'destined'?"

"...Do you really want to get me a cat? Why?" Bai Yuan suppressed the second part of the sentence unhappily: I'm afraid of being touched by me, so find a cat to replace?

Wei Lin said: "Why do you ask so seriously, I can't answer it. Anyway, in Li Minxing's 'Absolute Domain', I said that I would get you a good-looking cat after I went out. Never break your word.”

You look good on your own.Bai Yuan didn't say this, but raised the corners of his mouth in a noncommittal and very reserved way.
