Travel through the long dream millennium

The process of entering Tongtian Tower was far simpler than Zheng Xuanyin imagined.

I don't know if something happened outside the holy city. The guards sent most of their elites out, so that he and Li Xiang, who relied on their identities as a cover, were stopped when they were only a few miles away from their destination. Next, cross-examination - if it was in the past, he might have been surrounded by a group of hard and soft latrine stones, and sent to that damn holy city guard chief to argue.

But in the face of such an expected and necessary questioning, before Zheng Xuanyin could utter the lie that had been drafted long ago, the reaction of another person beside him was far simpler and ruder than him.

Before the vigilant expression on the faces of the two dedicated guards dissipated, their heads flew high, blood spattered everywhere, and it was not until a moment later that the two corpses that had lost their heads fell softly to the ground.

"Are you crazy?!"

Zheng Xuanyin, who took a few steps back slightly to avoid the large blood spray, widened his eyes, and questioned Li Xiang, who would kill him if he didn't agree with him, with incredible anger.

"Crazy?" The man who had just taken two lives with a smile not long ago spread his hands with great interest, his eyes sparkled and contented, "No, for the first time in more than 20 years, I feel so awake and so free. "

The abnormal situation on their side quickly attracted the attention of other patrol teams, and the two horrific corpses obviously stung their fragile nerves. Some of them desperately gathered together to fight back, There were also a few smart guys who smelled the unusual breath in the air, and quietly left without knowing where to go to report the news.

"Half you, half me, how about it?"

Rubbing his faintly hot palms, Li Xiang turned his head and invited Zheng Xuanyin, who had a cold face and said nothing.

"Not interested in."

Regarding this, Zheng Xuanyin just gave him a sideways glance, frowned and said, "If you want to do it, do it as soon as possible."

When Li Xiang rushed into the crowd madly and started killing, Zheng Xuanyin, who was watching from the sidelines with his arms folded, was actually in a somewhat complicated mood. In his mind, Zheng's house involuntarily appeared. The deal reached in the house.

When he just realized the tragic life experience of himself and his mother, he was still calming down, a man who looked like a madman and a prophet swaggered and walked up to him without any precautions—a man who could do nothing if he wanted to. The power of blowing dust penetrated the distance of his neck-a hand was lightly put on his shoulder, his eyes were eager and sincere.

"Come with me, I will take you to see the truth of the world."

[The truth of the world...? 】

Zheng Xuanyin let out a disdainful sneer in his heart, and slowly raised his eyes to look at someone who looked up and smiled among the scattered flesh and blood, his indifferent gaze was like a god overlooking ants, without any waves.

--------------

Under the Tongtian Tower.

It was the first time for Zheng Xuanyin to see the whole picture of this remarkable building in such a close place. There is no doubt that it is majestic and magnificent.I don't know what kind of stone the tower is made of, and it is still dark and not reflective in the sun, and it feels cold to the touch.

It is not so much a "tower" carved by humans, but more like it was cast by nature's uncanny workmanship - at least even at such a distance, Zheng Xuanyin did not find any human axes chiseled on the tower. under the traces.

The more critical point is that he has never seen any passages such as doors and windows so far. The whole tower is like a long and straight black boulder that keeps people away thousands of miles away.

Li Xiang, who quickly noticed Zheng Xuanyin's strange expression, shrugged his shoulders, walked around a section of tower base in front of him, then stretched out his hand and stroked a place that was indistinguishable from the surrounding area, and finally He decisively bit off his thumb, and slowly smeared the bright red blood flowing out of it.

After a moment of silence, accompanied by the friction of countless gears and the muffled sound of mechanism hubs operating, the black stone in front of him was abruptly divided into two halves, revealing a not too big or small gap.

Since Li Xiang took the lead in getting in, Zheng Xuanyin, who stayed in place, hesitated for a moment, and finally rubbed his brows, and set foot on that completely unknown road without looking back.

"What the hell is... what?"

The area in the tower is far larger than what Zheng Xuanyin saw from the outside, even disproportionately large.After his eyes finally adapted to the darkness and he was able to see things, the first thing that came into his eyes made him subconsciously hold his breath.

Transparent and crystal-clear, like glass products, but the hardness and toughness of the white steel is thousands of times higher than the former, it is a hideous skeleton that cannot be described simply as huge, with traces of birds and beasts on its bones, and also It has insect-like mouthparts, but it is strangely mixed with a few human shapes. Its wrists and ankles—if those places with bony spurs and metallic luster are considered hands and feet—there are traces of watering in molten steel furnaces. , was welded to the ground that was also laid with white steel.

Zheng Xuanyin can imagine the posture of this skeleton during his lifetime. The huge body was solidified and sealed by hot molten iron. Only the head, which was extremely small compared to the body, could move up and down. swallowed by it.

"So you're already dead."

Across the thick white steel barrier, the eyes of the man who had been insane and incomprehensible in Zheng Xuanyin's impression had a rare look of regret and loss, like an old man who accidentally heard the passing of an old friend after many years and felt the power of time again.

"it is……"

Zheng Xuan's hesitant question awakened Li Xiang from the trance state. He didn't respond to the other party immediately, but raised his hand and pointed to a very inconspicuous corner.Zheng Xuanyin, who looked in the direction he indicated, noticed that there was still a rusty iron plate hanging there, with the three words "herbarium" written on it that were mottled and unclear, but could barely be read.

"This is the specimen exhibition room. All the final products of failed experiments will be displayed here as a warning and encouragement to future generations... Well, for example, this old man, he was once a human being."

"What are you kidding?!!"

Hearing the last Zheng Xuanyin blurted out in disbelief, his eyes once again fell on the hideous and terrifying corpse—it was more than ten meters long, with bony spurs and wing bones resembling birds. The sharp claws and fangs of beasts, the mouthparts that are no different from Zerg...but from head to toe, where are there any human characteristics?

"It's fine if you don't believe it—in fact, she was a little sensible at first, and I sometimes talk to her. Apart from being a little stupid, she is quite cute."

Zheng Xuanyin was stunned.

"Actually, before I ran away, she was already showing signs of rioting. After all, those researchers always took away her children in front of her, and none of them returned. Mothers will always be angry."

While Li Xiang was talking, he took a step forward and motioned Zheng Xuanyin to follow.

The Tongtian Tower is very high, and there are spiral stairs on its edge. Soon, they came to the second specimen display room.

"His-"

Even though Zheng Xuanyin, who had already done enough psychological construction in his heart, was still stunned for a moment in front of the "specimens" of mutated beasts, birds, and insect cubs piled up like mountains. It can be described as tens of thousands.

"They, what are they going to do with these?"

Swallowing subconsciously, Zheng Xuanyin only felt a burning pain in his throat, and even his voice became extremely hoarse and deep.

"Research, what else can be done."

"Didn't you notice, the specimens here..."

Li Xiang rolled his eyes, picked out a container with a small bird cub and handed it to Zheng Xuanyin.

Zheng Xuanyin, who had an extremely ugly face, finally chose to take it, and then looked at the body soaked in the light yellow liquid. After just a few glances, the nausea and nausea on his face gradually faded, and finally transformed into seriousness and dignity.

With his eyesight, how could he fail to recognize a kind of mutated bird that is good at speed, but its own strength is not very strong, and its defense ability is also very low—the sharp bird.But after all, "the only thing that can't be broken in martial arts in the world is speed", even if its strength is not top-notch, but with the speed bonus, there are not a few human beings who die under its sharp beak every year.

However, the sharp bird cub that appeared in front of his eyes at this time has grown beast-like sharp claws glowing with coldness on its feet, and the feathers around its body have also become fine and firm. With a metallic color.

Lightning-like speed, sharp claws enough to easily break through defenses, plus greatly improved defense capabilities—if such evolutionary sharp birds reproduce and develop in large numbers...

Zheng Xuanyin felt creepy for a moment, and what was even more frightening was that this sharp bird was just an insignificant member of this huge specimen group. Around it, there were hundreds of "companions" who were unwilling to be lonely.

"The guy on the first floor was originally an ordinary human who received "that" flesh and blood transplant. She didn't die, but her muscles twitched, her bones grew, and she mutated and twisted during the evolution process. However, most of her brain was destroyed, resulting in a loss of IQ. It is extremely low, and barely maintains a few functions of biological survival, which does not meet the goals of researchers in the Holy City."

"So they learned to be smart, thinking that it might be that the gene chain of ordinary human beings is too complex and stable, and sudden destruction can easily cause large-scale damage to the body, so the second experimental subject was replaced by a genetically unstable human." Mutated creatures, the result—here, this is what they got.”

"Most of the mutated beasts died during the experiment, but some of them barely survived and gave birth to their offspring—that is, these things that are now soaked in cans have all evolved to look like monsters, and they don't have the guts to put them away. Get out, or maybe within a few years the human race will be extinct."

"What is the "that" you are talking about? That human being, and these mutated beasts, all became like this because of its flesh and blood transplant... What kind of monster is it?!"

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xuanyin, who was trying hard not to hit the thing in his hand on that hippie smiling guy, viciously put the utensil in his hand back to its original place. Under the anger, he inevitably lost his strength. The sound of colliding with glass spread far away in the silent space.

Slowly restraining the smile on his face, Li Xiang, who finally turned into a calm man with no sadness or joy, finally did not answer Zheng Xuanyin's questioning, but turned around and walked up the steps, leading the latter to look at one room after another. specimens on display.

——Wriggling and crawling on the ground, the flesh and blood are pure white, like "living creatures" like maggots.

"This kind of thing is still a living thing?!"

"Who knows, the researchers said that he responds to external stimuli, can eat on his own, has almost no natural enemies except for having no brain, and is immortal, of course he is considered a living thing."

——A beautiful girl who is also soaked in the medicinal liquid and naked, if you don't look at her lower body covered with fluffy centipedes like a spider.

"At the beginning of her birth, she devoured the midwife who delivered her. The researchers raised her until she was 13 years old, and found that she didn't have much wisdom like the first one, or she could only think like a bug and was disappointed in her, so She can only be soaked here."

——An embryo that is no different from a human baby, his face is so exquisite and flawless, like a sleeping angel falling into the world.

"Oh, I heard it was the closest experiment to success. Unfortunately, he was already dead when he was still a baby—so he will always be just an embryo."

"You can also touch him in the past. His flesh and blood are still warm, but his chest no longer rises and falls. The blood can still flow, but he has no chance to grow."

Li Xiang stretched out his hand and gently took the smooth and white arm of a baby's lotus root, as gentle as a young boy holding a girl in his first love. In the next second, he mercilessly cut a long cut on the latter's arm with a blade. the wound.

Since just now, Zheng Xuan, who had been suppressing the nameless anger in his heart from nowhere, shrank violently, almost becoming the size of a pinhead.

Pure white blood without any impurities and dirt slowly flowed down the baby's arm and dripped onto the dusty ground.
