Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The 120th day after the invasion·【First update】

No one knew where the lizard would reappear, and it was impossible for them to stay put or change their course in order to guard against the lizard.

"Why are lizards appearing in the base?" Du Nanrong asked as he kept up with the large army.

Cheng Sheng shook his head: "I don't know. It's hard to say whether this lizard itself lived in such an underground environment, or it was brought into the base from the ground."

"Will there be lizards in such a deep underground?" Lin Qian was slightly surprised, forgetting about the devil worms he encountered earlier, usually this kind of microbial nematodes can live better than humans.

The mutated microorganisms are only a few tens of centimeters long. Apart from nausea and being caught off guard, the worm's attack power doesn't seem to be very good. Its mouth is open, its fat and short body is wriggling. , and even get stuck in the sewer, ordinary firepower can handle it.

But lizards are very different.

Judging by the speed and strength of the tongue, it is estimated that the reason why this corridor was blown up and blocked was to block the lizard.

——But who would have thought that the lizard would find another way to go to the ceiling?

"Devil worms were discovered at a depth of three kilometers underground, and multicellular organisms appeared in an area unknown to us, which means that there is a brand new biosphere here, which we know little about." Cheng Sheng said as he walked, explaining Lin Qian's doubts.

"Even at the beginning, some biologists put forward a proposal to detect the underground, thinking that there are more complex life forms than devil worms in the depths of the underground."

Lin Qian asked immediately, "Then did the detection find anything later?"

"No, the deepest they could go was in the Mponig mine in South Africa, where they reached a depth of 350 meters underground, but they found nothing except for larger cockroaches," Cheng Sheng said.

However, the discovery of cockroaches alone is enough to prove that the assumptions made by those biologists are valid.

——In the deep underground, there are more complex life forms than devil worms.

"More than 4000 meters deep... Our base is not as deep as theirs." Lin Qian said.

"Underground movement caused by earthquake factors cannot be ruled out. Some organisms that originally existed at a deeper level moved to a relatively shallow surface layer." Cheng Sheng said, "But these are just speculations."

Zhang Jiuzhang said abruptly: "It's not sure that it was brought down from the ground. What if someone wants to experiment with lizards? I remember someone mentioned stem cell technology back then, right?"

"What stem cell technology?" Du Nanrong was at a loss.

"A research topic to regenerate severed limbs." Cheng Sheng glanced at Zhang Jiuzhang, a little surprised that Zhang Jiuzhang would know.

"But the subject was dropped early on," he added.

"At first, they planned to use the method of cross-species gene transplantation to realize the regeneration of severed limbs of disabled soldiers," Cheng Sheng said.

"However, due to the unpredictable safety issues in the transfer process, and the control genes of the lizard's own regeneration mechanism, it is also more difficult to obtain and integrate the human genome." Cheng Sheng looked at Zhang Jiuzhang, "The experiment is progressing to human transplantation. At this step, it was called to an emergency stop."

Zhang Jiuzhang grinned and laughed: "It seems that your understanding of the research institute is not as deep as I thought."

"Before it was officially stopped, those studies had been tested on humans more than once." Zhang Jiuzhang said, "Cross-species gene transplantation will not make the experimental subjects into lizard people, but it will not be much better."

"My last mission as the captain of the Longyan Army was to eliminate these failed experimental subjects." Zhang Jiuzhang said, looking at Cheng Sheng, "Those failed experimental subjects are all disabled soldiers who voluntarily participated in the experiment , I even worked as an instructor for some of them.”

Cheng Sheng's pupils shrank. He didn't know the existence of these experiments that were not recorded in the file.

"The enhanced and mutated regenerative ability is the type of opponent you would never want to meet in your life." Zhang Jiuzhang said, he walked forward with cold eyes.

"After the failure of the cross-species gene transplantation, they switched to stem cell technology." Zhang Jiuzhang said, he laughed that Dr. Cheng Sheng knew nothing about the research institute.

He went on to say: "However, the action of eliminating the experimental subjects has been exposed to the Supreme Prime Minister, and the experiment of stem cell technology was completely blocked."

"Are you implying that this disaster led them to launch stem cell technology experiments and re-study the subject of regeneration of severed limbs?" Cheng Sheng asked back with a frown.

He knew very well that Zhang Jiuzhang's idea was not groundless.

In the face of the disaster, the number of disabled soldiers has increased in a large area, and they are almost out of manpower.

The cultivation of fresh blood requires a lot of time and energy, and this is the most impossible for them to achieve at present.

If such a technology can be successful, it will undoubtedly be a great boost to the current situation of the entire country.

Under such a premise, it is very likely that the Supreme Commander will apply for such an experiment.

Zhang Jiuzhang let out a snort, ambiguous.

"Doing experiments in such a base...Lu Weijing wouldn't be so foolish to agree." Cheng Sheng said.

"No matter how demented she is, she won't use the last refuge as part of this biological experiment. As long as her mind isn't stuffed with weeds, she'll know that even the most adequate escape precautions will have loopholes. "

"Then you'd better pray like this." Zhang Jiuzhang said, he looked at Cheng Sheng, "If I'm right, then what we have to face is not a few lizards. Looking at the current situation, it's not like The experiment went well."

Cheng Sheng clenched his fist.

"We're here." Duan Yi said, interrupting Zhang Jiuzhang's words.

They opened the electronic gate of the safe passage with the soldier's ID card they picked up, and a huge empty field was displayed in front of them. At the end of the field, a small train with two sections was parked on the track.

"It should be that little train!" Xu Ying said with bright eyes.

The field is full of huge iron collection cards, and they have to pass between those collection cards.

Lin Qian and Xu Ying led the way in.

Before Zhang Jiuzhang raised his foot to leave, Duan Yi pressed Zhang Jiuzhang's shoulder.

Zhang Jiuzhang subconsciously turned his head to look over. Facing Duan Yi's ice-blue pupils, his instinct to sense danger made him tense his muscles subconsciously.

Duan Yi looked at him coldly, and warned in a low voice: "Captain Zhang, don't throw your prejudices and emotions on Cheng Sheng. Don't make an exception."

Zhang Jiuzhang felt the pressure of being targeted very keenly, like a sharp needle poking his back, his pupils shrank, and he instinctively wanted to fight back.

However, Duan Yi seemed to have expected Zhang Jiuzhang's reaction long ago, let go of his hand in advance, and turned back to Cheng Sheng's side, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Jiuzhang missed it, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Duan Yi, and saw Duan Yi's posture of holding his breath and pretending to be a guardian—clearly a very aggressive invader, what are you pretending to be, vomit.

Cheng Sheng glanced at Zhang Jiuzhang, and then at Duan Yi. Did he know what the two were two steps behind the team just now?

But Cheng Sheng didn't tell the truth, and walked beside Duan Yi, feeling a little amused.

In fact, he didn't care about what Zhang Jiuzhang said, and he didn't bother to respond to his eccentricities.

Anyway, this person always has something to ask for him. He hasn't found someone to settle the matter of saving Zhang Jiuzhang's life.

But Cheng Sheng was very satisfied with Da Bing's actions, he smiled at Duan Yi as if rewarding him.

They shuttled among the collection cards, and there was an indescribable stench lingering at the tip of their noses, which was somewhat like the smell of feces.

Du Jingshu covered her mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice, "This smell... seems to come from these collection cards."

"What kind of things are stuffed here... Supplies?" Lin Qian looked at it curiously, but he had a thought of "robbing". After all, they won't come back here, and obviously this place was also abandoned.

If these boxes were filled with materials, it would be too wasteful.

"Can your supplies stink?" Du Nanrong asked back.

As he was speaking, the tin sheet card on the left suddenly shook, and there was a "sizzling" sound from inside, as if something was scraping the iron sheet.

Du Nanrong jumped away like a frightened bird, and stared at the card box with wide eyes: "Is there something in it?"

Both Lin Qian and Xu Ying pointed their guns at the collection card, and Xu Ying said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Du Nanrong pulled Luo Xiaonan and urged Du Jingshu to run quickly.

I don't know if it's because the movement of their group is too loud. The iron truck boxes around seem to have received a signal, shaking one after another, one by one, and the sound of movement is constant.

Even heard the mooing of animals.

"This is the animal storage?!" Lin Qian gasped.

Cheng Sheng immediately understood - such a large site, with so many tin trucks, was clearly preparing for the preservation of species.

They... have made preparations for the mass destruction?

God knows how long no one has been feeding here. These animals are probably going crazy with hunger. No one can compare to the generosity of Buddha cutting meat to feed eagles. A group of people break out in cold sweat just thinking that there are some raptors and beasts inside. Running fast.

"Go and start the train!" Lin Qian shouted.

He saw a metal carriage in the distance deformed by the collision, as if something was about to run out.

Seeing this, Xu Ying immediately ran to the front of the train to activate the train system, and the screen popped up to enter the activation permission code.

"A license code is required!" Xu Ying shouted.

"Fuck, this again?!" Lin Qian cursed, "What should I do?"

Xu Ying pursed her lips, and quickly entered a series of numbers on the keyboard, constantly displaying red error warnings.

One last chance for trial and error, any more mistakes and the system is locked.

Xu Ying hastily looked up at the situation outside, and saw several nimble white wolves rushing out of the iron-covered card, targeting them as prey.

"Last time..." Xu Ying gritted her teeth and quickly entered a series of numbers.

"The code is correct. The train starts." A sound from the mechanical electronic system sounded, all the lights of the train were turned on, and there was a slight vibration under the feet and a sense of slowly accelerating movement.

Xu Ying opened her eyes slightly in disbelief, and immediately shouted: "It's activated! Hurry up!"

"Get in the car!" Lin Qian roared, urging Du Nanrong and Du Jingshu who were behind.

Du Nanrong picked up Du Jingshu and threw him onto the train. He ran a few steps faster, jumped up with all his strength and hung it on the car door, but was grabbed by Lin Qian and pulled in.

The others quickly followed and jumped into the speeding train. Lin Qian slammed on the door, almost passing the white wolf that hit him.

Xu Ying quickly counted the heads, eight of them got on the bus safely.

Lin Qian leaned against the car door and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's really dangerous. By the way, what number did Sister Ying lose in the end to activate it?"

Xu Ying looked at Cheng Sheng: "It's the doctor's mission code."

"The base is so caring." Lin Qian swallowed, and said dryly.

Fortunately, the base still remembered them, otherwise they would have been killed by this train.

Du Nanrong saw Lin Qian leaning on the car door, how dangerous, how many movies are full of car door killings?

He worriedly asked Saxifrage to drag brother Lin Qian back.

Hastily rolled Lin Qian's ankle and dragged it in.

The grass was so strong that Lin Qian was caught off guard, and he knocked the back of his head back, causing tears to burst out of his eyes.

Du Nanrong: "..."

Hastily jumped back onto Du Nanrong's shoulder - it's nothing to do with Caocao, Caocao doesn't know anything.
