[Sword Three + Doomsday] Poisonous hands have no joy

After the mutant red earthworms disappeared, the river calmed down, but before they died, they left stretches of white on the river bank.

"In this season...although it is abnormal, I guess it should be an earthworm egg." Chang Lin frowned. Obviously, this earthworm egg was not the one he normally recognized.

Tang Wule stared at the things that seemed to be wriggling in the eggs, "How long will it take for them to hatch?"

Chang Lin shook his head, "Maybe, maybe in a few days, maybe soon. After all, it's mutated, and anything is possible."

Some words, as expected, will come true as soon as they are spoken.

I don't know which newborn mutant earthworm in the egg started. The red one broke out of the egg. It seemed that in an instant, more newborn earthworms also came out, and they looked much bigger than normal earthworms.

The first thing the mutant red earthworms that came out first did was to eat their own eggs, and began to turn their targets to those unborn compatriots.

For a while, the sound of cracking and cracking became louder and louder. When the shells that should be broken were broken, the newborn earthworms that had broken their shells had no eggs to eat. Heihe is the nearest river bank soil.

As the soil collapsed little by little, mutated red earthworms continued to fall into the water, but the footsteps of the large army devouring the soil did not stop because of this.The big tongue in the Black River didn't want to disturb the calm because of this bit of food that wasn't enough to fit between the teeth, so those lower-level aquatic creatures happily accepted the new mutant earthworms that fell into the water.

"If this reproduction rate is followed, then the Heihe River Basin has become larger." Chang Lin put down the binoculars and looked at the sky in a daze. "Look, is the sky black, or is it red and black?"

"I think your water quality sampling is about to come to an end." Tang Wule did not answer his words, "Otherwise, you have to catch up between the two breeding seasons and complete the sampling of several downstream points."

But time is obviously not enough, the two of them are just enough to protect themselves and each other, but if they have to take risks to do something, both of them may be finished.

"Let me think about it again." Chang Lin put the tube, and possibly the only sample, back into the box, "Let's rush to the next point now, and we'll make a decision before dawn."

Driving at night is even more dangerous, but Chang Lin can only drive with Tang Wule escorting him, and the two of them are tense.The headlights illuminate the road ahead, heading into the unknown.

"Hey, talk to me, let me feel at ease." Chang Lin couldn't bear such a long silence, he felt that he was going to smash the steering wheel in agitation, and he wouldn't be like this after spending days and nights in the laboratory. dry.

"I'll distract you by talking too much." The young man didn't stay idle, a few delicate and light flying knives were twirling quickly at his fingertips, but his eyes were focused on the front.

Chang Lin looked at Heibu Longdong on the left and right sides of the road, unable to tell whether he was nervous or irritable, "Just say something, please!"

Tang Wule withdrew the flying blade in his hand, "What are you most afraid of now?"

"I'm most afraid of being alone!" Chang Lin replied quickly.

After waiting for a few seconds, no one continued to ask, Chang Lin urged again, "There is more, just ask me!"

"What department's optimization are you?" Tang Wule didn't miss Chang Lin's hesitation at that moment.

"This question... I can't answer you now..."

When it came to this topic, Chang Lin had an embarrassing aura, Tang Wule didn't want to ask, and the two fell silent again in the night.

In fact, it is not inconvenient to say, but Chang Lin feels inexplicably embarrassed when he thinks of his own abilities... Fortunately, in the research institute, his level basically does not need to use abilities, as long as he has enough mental power, he can almost handle it. up.

Chang Lin thought, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, he will tell his partner.

"It's not far from the next collection point. Shall we wait for dawn before taking action?" Chang Lin glanced at the sky, he really couldn't imagine encountering those mutated red earthworms.

Tang Wule shook his head, "If we have to wait until dawn, the gap between the two breeding cycles may be too late."

Chang Linku, "Then what to do, the folding ladder is not that long..."

"Try something else."

When the two got out of the car in the dark, Chang Lin turned on the light on the mask, and a small beam of light shone far away.

Tang Wule's night vision is excellent, and with the blessing of lights, there are basically no obstacles.

Chang Lin still turned down the light a little bit, the strong light might attract some mutant animals in the woods.

"Did you see anything?" Chang Lin followed Tang Wule carefully with his equipment in hand.

"At present, this area is still safe." Tang Wule stepped lightly, "But the surface of the land is obviously very soft..."

"Now I feel like I'm stepping on those mutated red earthworms through a thin layer of soil. It's really disgusting."

Tang Wule took his head and slowly approached the river bank. The smell was much stronger than when they first smelled it. After all, the sacrifice and rebirth had just happened not long ago.

"Are you ready?" He looked at Chang Lin, who was getting closer to the water's edge little by little, and the soil under his feet was even a little slippery. "You turn off the light, I'll come."

Chang Lin Yiyan turned off her own light, and found that her whole body was surrounded by a soft but not too hazy halo, and she could clearly see the distance from the water surface to herself through the eyepiece.

During the sampling period, the slightest movement on the water surface could make Chang Lin feel anxious, but with Tang Wule standing behind him, he still calmed down and concentrated on what he was doing.

After the sampling was finished quietly, the two returned to the car without any risk, and decided to take a short rest.Compared to Tang Wule's natural relaxation, Chang Lin took a long time to take a deep breath before recovering.

"Now I finally know how easy it is to work in the research institute." Chang Lin put the small tube of things in the box and let out a long breath, "Of course, although the strictness is a bit boring, it's better than having a meal like this. A meal is better."

"Then why did you come this time?" Tang Wule's question did not have the questioning attitude it should have at all, as if it was to let Chang Lin draw out the following better.

"Because I'm finally about to awaken to the full posture."

Chang Lin unbuttoned his cuffs, and carefully raised his sleeves bit by bit, "It will take at least a month of transition period, during this period, I have no way to control the constantly surging ability in my body."

Under the rolled-up sleeves, what was exposed was not the smooth skin of a normal person, it was rough and had raised scales, with some luster.

Tang Wule was startled, "Are you sure I can control your abilities?" Is this her real mother?Just put a variant optimized person by your side with such peace of mind?

This kid Chang Lin looks delicate and handsome, but his ability is a variant of the beast, no wonder he can't say it!

"Aren't you unwilling..." Seeing that his partner didn't answer, Chang Lin's tone was inevitably disappointed.

But was interrupted by Tang Wule, "Stop first, I'll ask you a question and you answer."

"Okay. You ask." Chang Lin touched his scales, very well-behaved, different from the well-rounded person he knew before.

"How many days is this in your transition?"

Chang Lin tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's the eighth day." With a handsome face and a tilted head, it really makes people like him, but as long as he thinks that this big brother mutant may be a body type Tang Wule really couldn't "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" for such a huge reptile.

"What is your mutant?"

"Do you hate reptiles?" Chang Lin pursed his lips, but under Tang Wule's disgusted eyes, he returned to a serious expression, "I think it should be a lizard, and its size...may not be too small."

He saw the prince propping his forehead with one hand, and only gave himself a profile.

"If you really can't control yourself, do you mind if I control you?"

After a long time, Chang Lin heard Tang Wule ask a question.

Almost in the next second, he replied, "I don't mind! However, there is a half chance that you won't be forced to control me. There are very few mutants who can fully awaken, and most mutants will Choose to live your life in a semi-awakened or even waking state..."

Variant optimization sounds powerful, although it is indeed powerful, but the price to be paid is rarely borne by anyone.

First, it requires a huge amount of mental power to maintain the entire awakening transition period, even if it is only a short month; second, without a proper guardian, mutants in their first full form can seldom control their thinking , in the mutant form, the rationality and mobility will be greatly reduced. Only when the mutant himself slowly reaches the two forms with the assistance of the guardian and can freely switch, can he completely pass the transition period.

What Chang Lin lacked was a reliable guardian, so he was willing to take this trip.

It was an action that was a trial for both.

"Take off your clothes."

Chang Lin stammered, "Are... are you here? You..."

Tang Wule directly reached out and pulled Chang Lin's coat off, "Let me see the scales on your body, it's hard to use your brain after being mutated!"

Chang Lin nodded ignorantly, "Yes, during the awakening period, I always felt that my thinking ability could not keep up, and I always felt that I had enough energy to do things."

When Chang Lin took off his last piece of close-fitting clothing, his entire naked upper body was revealed under the light of the car lights.

Ranked scales covered Chang Lin's entire chest and back. The scales on both arms spread to the junction of the forearm and wrist bone, and the area below the collarbone and the back of the neck was full of scales.

As if they could breathe, Tang Wule could even see them moving slightly.

This was the first time Chang Lin revealed his incompletely mutated form to others, his face flushed slightly, and he reached out and touched the scales on his chest in embarrassment.
