Apocalypse World Reboot
Chapter 20 Chapter 20
Perhaps from the first time when Xu Yan solemnly informed him and Xu Jin to prepare for the end of the world, fate has moved in a completely different direction.
Even though Xu Xian has a miraculous storage space, and is even likely to get the inheritance of cultivation, it does not mean that he considers himself a savior.In Xu Xian's cognition, he is an ordinary citizen, even if he has something that a citizen would not be able to fight for in a lifetime.
He himself is an ambitious man, but he forgets that not everyone is like that.If everyone is content with the status quo and contented, then there will be no so-called disputes.
Xu Xian didn't know how much Xu Yan or the upper echelons knew about the end of the world. As far as meteorites were concerned, these extraterrestrial substances could be said to appear suddenly, and it was impossible to predict them accurately.
Xu Xian was full of doubts, he looked at Xu Yan, hoping he could give him a reasonable explanation.
Xu Yan raised his hand to touch his fluffy head, and turned his eyes to the unfamiliar picture on the opposite screen. It seemed to be the characters and symbols carved on the stone wall, which were still mottled, as if they had been eroded by too long years.
For Xu Xian's doubts, Xu Yan just downplayed: "Now we have only one way to go, this is just an experiment, there is no need to be surprised."
As he said that, he turned his gaze to Xu Xian: "I've noticed since you came back this time, your body seems to be much better."
Xu Jin beside him froze when he heard the words, and then tensed up.Xu Xian, however, looked calm: "That's right, I got a cheat book by chance. I have been practicing since the end of the world, and I have killed zombies outside for a few months. After high-intensity exercise, I can always stimulate the potential in my body." .”
"Cheats? Potential?"
Xu Yan smiled: "You think so too? Do you also believe that there is incredible power in our bodies?"
These words are not what the second brother would say at all, his mood seems to be very unstable, Xu Xian frowned upon hearing this, and looked at him strangely.
Xu Yan came back to his senses after seeing him like this, touched his nose in embarrassment, and smiled helplessly.This surprised Xu Xian even more. In his memory, Xu Yan seldom smiled. As a politician, he has learned to keep his face a long time ago. Even in front of his family, his care and worries are always hidden behind a mask. under.
Xu Yan shook his head, "I'm sorry, Xiao Si, I may have stayed in the laboratory for too long, and my mind is not clear."
Xu Xian looked at him without looking away: "Second brother, it's not that you're not awake, you're just too excited."
He was sure that Xu Yan's emotions at this time were all from the heart, and he even had a guess, that is, what great progress the experiment might have made, or what Xu Yan had obtained.
Under the gaze of Xu Xian's clear eyes, Xu Yan finally restrained his smile and sighed softly: "After your parents left, you changed, or not only you changed, but our whole family changed." up.
Although you didn't know how to read people's hearts when you were young, you were definitely the most sensitive one, so since childhood, we have taken care of you as if you were fragile, but now it seems that we were wrong. "
Xu Yan thought of what happened in the past, and he knew very well that the third brother had always looked down on Xiaosi, but he never said it, because he could not favor any one of them, otherwise, it would mean that he would lose the other one. loved ones.
The result of letting things go was that the situation intensified, and Xu Hao and Xu Xian were already in the same situation.Obviously they are all brothers of their own family, but there is a estrangement in their hearts just because of a woman.Every time Xu Yan thought of this incident, he wished he could kill that woman, or give Xu Hao a hard lesson to wake him up completely.
Xu Xian could hear the guilt in his words, and slowly shook his head: "We don't owe anyone, but everyone has their own ideas, what they pursue, and what they want. So it is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion, and even It's parting ways." Xu Yan frowned at him: "Do you still care about that?"
Xu Xian smiled: "I am no longer a child, I know the seriousness."
He avoided Xu Yan's question, and felt a slight pain in his heart.
Xu Yan struggled for a while, but he didn't get the words out of his mouth. Instead, he brought up another matter: "What are you going to give me? Could it be the secret book you mentioned?"
Xu Xian sighed inwardly, and motioned to Xu Jin, who then took out a thread-bound book from his bag and handed it over.
Xu Yan took it and flipped through it casually, not knowing why.
Xu Xian then said: "This is a secret book that records the cultivation methods. You can cultivate according to the methods described above, so as to improve your mental strength and physical skill level."
Xu Xian didn't know very well about mental power and physical skills. In most of the post-apocalyptic texts he had read, many survivors would awaken supernatural powers, which is the so-called manipulation of natural elements.But in Xu Xian's opinion, that kind of thing is not only unbelievable, but also very absurd.Because he thinks that nature is mysterious and inviolable, human beings rely on and use nature, and they are demanding from nature from birth to old age and death.So if it is said that such creatures can easily obtain the power of nature, not only does it make no sense, but it also makes him feel ridiculous.
As for mental power and physical skills, these two things can be said to be the yardstick for measuring human quality, even for ordinary people before the end of the world, they all had subtle differences in mental power and physical skills before.For example, compared with ordinary students who have received high-intensity training and flowers in the same greenhouse, there is a huge difference in mental strength and physical skills between the two.
After practicing "Nine Palaces Jue", Xu Xian's mental strength has been significantly improved due to space and meteorites, but his physical skill level has not improved much.Even so, he could still feel the changes in his body, as if he had suddenly opened up his meridians, and he was no longer as confused as before.
Xu Xian has also read many ancient books similar to Taoist cultivation, but firstly, the country does not promote these things, and secondly, Xu Xian himself does not really believe in them.
But now he has completely changed his mind, but Xu Yan in front of him doesn't seem to feel like a treasure, and Xu Xian can even feel some resistance from him.Sure enough, Xu Yan looked at him with a complicated expression: "Have you practiced the above things?"
Xu Xian nodded: "That's right."
Xu Yan sighed, turned his head and opened the iron gate behind him: "Come with me."
Xu Xian and Xu Jin looked at each other and followed them. There was another room behind the door, and the whole room was filled with LCD screens. Judging from the picture displayed above, this should be the monitoring room.
Xu Xian took a closer look and found many abnormalities.On the screen, there are several Taoist priests dressed in simple clothes and holding long swords. The oldest one has already had white hair. These people look calm, even in the face of such a bloody scene. heritage.
"They are Taoist priests who have only recently arrived at the base. It is said that they originally lived in seclusion in the mountains and ignored the world, but this time the order of the heavens was chaotic and disasters occurred frequently in various places. They had to find a place of refuge."
Xu Yan explained to him calmly, Xu Xian nodded immediately, and pointed at the strong man in the middle of the field who was fighting with a fierce tiger: "Then what about him, what is so special about him?"
Xu Yan took a look: "He is a thug of the gang. At the beginning of the year, he broke up because of personal hatred, and later defected to the base. He is now an experimenter of the base."
Xu Xian's heart beat faster: "What experiment?"
Xu Yan said coldly: "Evolution experiment."
As early as he knew that the extraterrestrial meteorite was not only a crisis, but also an opportunity to promote the rapid evolution of human beings, he was already eager to try all of this.Although he knows that this is definitely the biggest gamble in history, he does not regret it, because not everyone has the opportunity to face such a choice, and maybe this time he can leave his name in history.
Xu Xian felt his voice trembling: "Then did the experiment go well?"
Xu Yan said: "There has been a breakthrough before the deadline, and the effect of the meteorite energy has begun to gradually appear."
Not just meteorites, but more importantly, crystal nuclei. They discovered huge energy in the crystal nuclei. With this energy, it is of great help to promote the operation of the Ark project and to cultivate genetic soldiers.
Xu Xian looked at him: "Then second brother, you mean to use the experimental results to promote human evolution?"
Xu Yan did not deny: "For now, this is the most effective way."
Xu Xian frowned: "The crystal nucleus bred in the zombie's body, as well as those meteorites of unknown origin, second brother, no matter how good your experimental results are, it is not a long-term solution."
Xu Yan said coldly: "Then, how long will it take to see the results by relying on the cultivation method you mentioned?"
Xu Xian didn't speak.
Xu Yan continued: "Of course I know that there are hidden dangers in this, but there is not much time left for us now. Only by doing this can we have the possibility to survive. As for hidden dangers, that is a matter of the future, and we will leave it to the future Let's deal with it."
Xu Xian thought that his eloquence was not as good as his, and he didn't know what to say or what to say at this time.
"Then, at least second brother, you should practice step by step according to the safest method, so that there will be no problems."
Xu Yan could hear the worry in his words, and finally showed a smile: "Don't worry, little four, your second brother knows it well."
"By the way, I will arrange for suitable people to practice the secret book you sent. I will also make it clear to my elder brother, and I won't let you make a trip in vain."
Saying that, Xu Yan took out a black suitcase from the cabinet, and after opening it, Xu Xian found several airtight long-tube glass bottles filled with green liquid, besides that, there was also a dagger and a bow and arrow.
"This is the latest research result. After taking it, it can stimulate the human body's potential in a short period of time, and even resist zombie viruses. However, this thing is a one-time use, which means that if a person takes it for the second time, it will no longer have the effect."
As Xu Yan said, he handed the other two weapons to Xu Jin and Xu Xian respectively: "This is the latest weapon made of special materials. Because of the addition of meteorite powder, its power has been tripled, at least to deal with weapons below the third level. There's nothing wrong with mutant animals."
Xu Xian firmly believed in Xu Yan's statement, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.He has never seen this kind of weapon that can restrain mutant animals. Even the antidote was developed long after the end of the world. What's more, Xu Yan at that time had no interest in laboratory research, otherwise he would not have been defeated so easily. Giving it to Wanjia lost the qualification to control the base.
Xu Xian took the weapon and nodded: "Thank you, second brother." Xu Yan looked at him seriously: "I know that the third brother and you had a lot of unhappiness in the past, but you are brothers after all, it's because of me. For the sake of big brother, don't worry too much about him. If there is anything in the future, go to big brother, and the brothers can take care of each other anyway."
Xu Xian's heart moved: "Is the second brother going to leave?"
Xu Yan smiled: "You guessed it all, I will leave for the Tibet base soon."
"Why? What happened?" No wonder Xu Xian was nervous. Once Xu Yan left the base in Shanghai, even if he was in a high position, he would not be able to easily gain a foothold in a strange place.Moreover, the forces that the Xu family has been operating are basically in Shanghai, so choosing to leave now can almost be said to be a devastating blow.
Xu Yan's eyes were soft: "Don't worry, there is one thing I have to do, and I have something they want in my hand, so they dare not touch me easily. I called you this time to let you know the way , if something happens, you also have a place to hide. In addition, you can practice that cheat book, but just focus on one, and if there are other things in the future, it’s best not to touch them lightly.”
Xu Yan almost broke his previous image in Xu Xian's heart, it was rare for him to ramble so much.Xu Xian listened attentively and remembered everything in his heart.
When Xu Yan sent him out, he said jokingly: "When we meet next time, maybe you will have more sisters-in-law."
Even though Xu Xian has a miraculous storage space, and is even likely to get the inheritance of cultivation, it does not mean that he considers himself a savior.In Xu Xian's cognition, he is an ordinary citizen, even if he has something that a citizen would not be able to fight for in a lifetime.

"Cheats? Potential?"
Xu Yan smiled: "You think so too? Do you also believe that there is incredible power in our bodies?"
These words are not what the second brother would say at all, his mood seems to be very unstable, Xu Xian frowned upon hearing this, and looked at him strangely.
