Wild grow

Fushen and Enoch fought to the end but failed to come up with a reason. In the end, both of them gave up struggling and decided to go to the city center to see what was going on with the crystal before making a decision. After returning to the room, Xiaopang was busy typing on the keyboard, Fushen asked: "What news is there?"

"I just looked at the online ticketing system. After the exposure of those 'superpower teenagers' in the afternoon, the tickets from various cities to Washington were sold out in an instant, and people flocked here..." Xiaopang was helpless Said, "In such a cold day, there are very few people who are willing to go out and walk around. Now, it seems that they have all forgotten that Washington is still under martial law and belongs to the city that needs to be evacuated—"

"Is there no way for the government?" Fu Shen asked. If it is a trick to make the people of the capital stay where they are, then that's fine. What do you think about driving people here now?

"I haven't seen it yet."

Xiaopang shook his head, looking quite confused.

Fushen frowned and took out his mobile phone, ready to call Yucheng and the others, but the phone rang twice and was connected and then hung up... After a while, Yucheng called a text message, telling Fushen that they were on the way right now. A meeting was held in Washington, and the test report on the crystal came out, and no substances harmful to the human body were found for the time being, but the specifics need further research——

[Fu Shen: Did you read the news in the afternoon? 】

[Yucheng: Look, why do you think we are having a meeting?Suddenly super soldiers are running all over the street, do you think it's appropriate? 】

[Fu Shen: It has something to do with the crystal. 】

【Yucheng: Are you so sure?No one's sure it really matters, the soldiers at the military base haven't touched the crystal. 】

[Fu Shen: But they have been in contact with the No. [-] test body, and someone told me that there is also a part of the test body in the center of the green crystal. In the afternoon, it's best to test the structure inside the crystal as soon as possible. People are flocking to Washington. If this sick phenomenon is not controlled, there will be big trouble. 】

[Yucheng: Got it, I'm forcing the US imperial government to lower the cordon to prevent people from continuing to go to Washington to join in the fun... Wait, are you in Washington again? ! ! ! ! 】

"..."

Fushen glanced expressionlessly at Yucheng's series of exclamation marks, then calmly locked the phone, ignoring the successive vibrations full of anger from the phone that followed.

After sending the text message, Fushen looked up and found that Xiaopang and Enoch were also getting ready to go out. The three of them went out side by side. When they returned to the lobby of the small hotel, they first felt a rush of pain when the elevator door opened. The cold wind was blowing in your face, and then you heard a lot of people at the front desk, saying that the central heating in the room is not working at all, and if it is not fixed immediately, they will check out with full payment and find another place to stay... The front desk manager Besieged, he explained with a bitter face: it was not that the hotel was unwilling to provide heating, but that the weather outside was so cold that the cold water pipes of the heating equipment were directly frozen and exploded.

Fushen spit out a cloud of milky white mist, turned to look at the temperature recorder, it showed that the temperature outside had dropped to minus 32 degrees - the temperature has been falling slowly for the past two days, and there is no moment of recovery warmed.

"I don't know how long this low temperature will last. I called my family yesterday, and my parents were so cold that they went back to their hometown—it's just a southern city. Yes, it's almost below zero now." Xiaopang muttered, "Global freezing, no matter how you think about it, it's not normal? Why doesn't the government have a reasonable explanation?"

Fushen didn't speak, and the three of them walked out of the hotel. At this time, the street outside was pitch black, with few pedestrians, but a lot of cars—the office workers should be off work at this time, so those cars should also be bound for the center of Washington DC Fushen, they have no car and can only take the subway. Needless to say, the subway station is crowded with people. Face was excitedly discussing about the previous news and the green crystal, and by the way fantasized about what super powers he might get...

In addition, Fushen found that there were some children sitting alone in the corner with gloomy and lonely faces—because he had the same face in most cases when he was a student, so it was hard for him to imagine such a situation. Children will also be interested in things like "superpowers". At least for him, he didn't care about what happened outside except for the knowledge points drawn in various exams and reference books at that time.

What would such a person do if he had superpowers?

"Little Fatty, what's the first thing you want to do after you discover that you have new abilities?" Fu Shen asked.

Xiaopang seemed a little surprised why Fushen asked this question. After a moment of stupefaction, he smiled: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to show you——and then imagine whether I can go to the next Olympics to win a prize." champion?"

...that's it.

It's just the way a normal kid thinks.

If you have something good, show it off to your friends first, and then think about whether you can use this thing to make something that was once out of reach. Compared with adults, it is much thinner or naive, low-level money, fame, or something else...

But as an adult, it won't be like this.

Fushen thought casually, time always passed quickly during wandering days, and they arrived in the center of Washington in a blink of an eye—they didn't even have to deliberately ask where the green crystal was, and followed people with their eyes closed when they got off the subway. After leaving the subway station, they came to the street where they saw the recorded video in the news before.

The situation at this time is that if you want to recognize this street, you can only look up and look up at the signs of the surrounding shops. It is completely naive to recognize this street just by looking at the road surface—because you can see people everywhere. It's a crowd of people.

"We are like a group of little chickens huddled together to keep warm," Xiaopang said with a smile, "Are these people sick, making it as lively as the New Year's countdown?"

Fushen watched as they walked into a certain block, several police cars appeared behind their buttocks, and the policemen with guns jumped out of the cars and pulled up the cordon—the road was closed.

It's really like something you only do when you count down to the new year.

Leaving behind the complaints of the people who were blocked outside the street one step behind, Fushen and the others quickened their pace a little. At this time, some confusion occurred in the team ahead of Fushen and the others—probably a group of young people People are trying to break through the last cordon and approach the crystal!

The U.S. imperial government had dispatched quite a few riot police to guard around the crystal as early as the crystal appeared, but the current situation seems to be a bit tricky for them——

After all, what they were facing at this moment was not a group of thugs, but a group of teenagers with a second-grade chubby disease. In theory, if they were the first to use firearms against them without permission, it might cause big trouble.

"Hey, let us go!"

"That thing is not dangerous! Isn't it so close? I haven't seen anyone feel the threat of radiation. Did you have a nosebleed? You have been guarding here for a long time-since it is not dangerous, let us touch it. What can I do?"

"Yes, yes, let's just touch it and promise not to do anything else!"

"Did you read the news? Those amazing abilities, we can be super soldiers too - or is the government only willing to keep super soldiers for themselves? That's selfish, man!"

The crowd in front began to be aroused by the sound of the people in the front shouting, and the line that was originally quietly lined up to visit the crystal suddenly moved forward a lot—someone realized that the riot police dared not deal with it. After they shot, they started pushing them and the shields in their hands, trying to break through their defenses—

"Shoot me if you have the ability!"

Someone was shouting, and it caused a burst of laughter.

Among the surging crowd, Fushen and Xiaopang were scattered by the crowd, Fushen shook his head helplessly, and pushed Enoch to a position slightly beside the street to avoid being injured in the pushing.When he regained his footing, he realized that the child in the wheelchair turned his head to a certain direction quietly from the beginning to the end, looking at something seriously...

Fushen followed Enoch's gaze, only to realize that from their angle they could already see most of the upper part of the green crystal—much more spectacular than in the video, the entire huge crystal seemed to come out of a cave. The rocks unloaded in the middle of the mountain are jagged, and some edges even look very sharp, and there is no trace of artificial chiseling at all... Its existence has destroyed most of the original things around it, including the original plantings on both sides of the street. Ornamental corolla plants, and those plants seem to have absorbed some special energy. Under such severe cold, not only did they not wither, but the bright flowers bloomed instead, swaying in the wind and snow.

That almost became the last bit of color in the city.

In the dark night, the whole crystal is dark green, only a small part illuminated by street lights is a beautiful and transparent fluorescent green——

It's like the existence of something called Moyu.

"How is it?" God Fu lowered his body and moved closer to Enoch, "Did you see anything? It's too dark around, I can't see anything."

"..." Enoch paused for a moment, and finally said dully, "Don't let me catch that poisonous woman Lilith."

"..."

God Fu got some answers from Enoch's words.

At this time, when Enoch finished speaking, someone in the crowded crowd suddenly screamed and then took a big step forward—it turned out that someone in front pushed down the riot police, and there was a gap in the solid line of defense immediately!

The crowd took advantage of the gap to crazily flock to the green crystal. While the gap was widening, many people who hadn't had time to keep up were pushed to the ground——

"Hey! Watch out!"

"Who stepped on me! Get your feet off!"

"Did you touch the crystal?! How does it feel?"

All kinds of excited yells were mixed with the angry roars of some people who were injured because of being pushed. In the chaos, Fushen saw the chubby reverse crowd crowding out and approaching them—it looked like they were being squeezed miserably: "My mother was almost squeezed thin!"

Xiaopang shook his fat and said.

Fu Shen sighed.

"How about it, do you want to squeeze in again? Anyway, I just tried my best to squeeze in and have a look. It's too dark and I can't see anything—let alone the head... God, you Do you want to take a look?" Xiaopang asked, "I'll watch little brother Enoch, so don't squeeze him, the wheelchair is deformed due to being squeezed."

"I'm not going," Fushen said calmly after Xiaopang finished talking, "I've seen it, there is indeed something inside."

"What?" Xiaopang was stunned, "What?"

"Odin's head."

"what?"

"That test subject No. [-]," Fushen said indifferently, "the research institute met that one."

Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what Fushen said, he slightly widened his eyes with a look of astonishment on his face—when the three people present all fell into a brief silence, what contrasted sharply was that in their The noisy crowd behind them had completely broken through the last line of defense, frantically flocking towards the green source crystal that might bring them superpowers...

When Fushen and the others returned to the small hotel, there was no accident that the heating equipment had not been repaired, and some people were already in the lobby with their luggage ready to check out.

Fushen and the others took the elevator back to the floor where the room was located. Fortunately, the heating on their floor was temporarily normal. When they returned to a relatively warm environment, Fushen felt that his nose was almost freezing and he lost his sense of smell.

"How did Odin's head get into the crystal?" Xiaopang took out his room card and asked in great confusion, "Isn't he very powerful, and he was dismembered? Tsk tsk."

Enoch raised his head and glanced at Xiaopang expressionlessly, and Fushen who was following behind him pulled his hair as if warning.

Fu Shen: "Odin was seriously injured before we left the institute that day, so—"

"You even know the name of Test Subject No. [-]."

A familiar voice from the room interrupted Fushen's words.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then after the door was fully opened, he saw Yucheng sitting on the bed, and Zhao Heng standing by the window looking down with his hands behind his back, Zhao Heng kept his back to them and did not turn around Yucheng waved his fist at Fushen: "What did you say before you left?"

Fu Shen: "Not coming to Washington."

Yucheng: "What else?"

Fushen smiled: "Don't get close to the crystal."

"Well," Yucheng nodded, "Now we are having a wonderful conversation high in Washington, first of all, the first topic: Is the crystal good-looking?"

"It doesn't look good," Fushen came in and closed the door, "then the big black jade-shaped thing fell from the sky, with the head of a test subject inside, and while it was destroying the solar system in a powerful way, it didn't forget to launch some kind of thing to the ground. Power, turning some people into superpower owners—"

"What head?" Zhao Heng finally turned around and looked at Fushen, "In the text message to Yucheng, you insisted that those super children with different symbols must be related to Test Subject No. [-] just like super soldiers. Now I can say the name of the No. [-] test subject in one breath, that is confidential content."

Zhao Heng paused, his eyes were much sharper than before: "Who are you?"

"Just thinking about it now?" Fu Shen asked.

"It's not too late." Zhao Heng said lightly.

"Students that Chu Mobai sponsored."

"How much money did he give you? You went up the mountain of swords and went down into the sea of ​​fire for him, and rescued important information just to clear his innocence? How important are you to him that he is willing to tell you anything..." Zhao Heng's voice was low , "I don't want to gossip about the dead person, but if he does, it's a leak."

"If you're not satisfied, you can drag him out and whip the corpse, I have no objection." Fushen said in an understated tone, "But that's after you've used up the information I gave you and solved the various mysteries that are imminent right now——" Didn’t you feel it on the road, how many degrees below zero is it outside? If this continues, a large number of animals and plants will die immediately, the sea will be frozen, and then it will be human’s turn..."

Zhao Heng stopped talking, he pursed his thin lips tightly, and looked at Fushen with a serious expression - and the latter did not avoid looking at him at all, Fushen knew that at this time, Zhao Heng was struggling with some objective things in his heart. And subjective contradictions——

at last……

Seeing that the murderous man whose expression was serious just a second ago softened slightly, he sighed and sat down on the chair: "What do you mean by that green crystal with a head in it?"

The atmosphere in the room instantly eased, and while Fushen's tense back was relaxing, Yucheng also showed a relieved expression from the corner of his eye.

"The head of test subject No. [-] is in that green crystal—for some reason, I guess it may be through the crystal itself as a medium, No. [-]'s ability to affect the 'super soldiers' was released, so another batch of 'super soldiers' That's how the boy was made."

Fu Shen's words fell, and the surroundings fell into a short silence again.

It seems that both Zhao Heng and Yucheng felt that it would take some time to digest the matter of "subject No. [-]'s head in the crystal".

As for this matter, Fushen was not prepared to hide it at all.

He is not stupid, if he wants to solve the current problem, he must rely on official power - he does not think that he has the ability to change the status quo on his own, the best way is to tell all the information to be able to use this information and its value to reach Maximize people.

"It doesn't make sense, buddy." After being silent for a while, Yucheng restrained his surprise, and his face rarely looked particularly serious, "You forgot! As long as those soldiers survived back then, almost all of them became super soldiers—but These days, before the complete martial law, there were at least tens of thousands of people who came into close contact with the crystal or even touched it. As a result, there were only a few teenagers with superpowers, and then I will draw a key point—it’s all fucking with you Children who are about the same age, why is this? If those influences are selective, what is the selection criterion? Just age? Also, since the energy released by Test Subject No. [-] is having an influence, why do they manifest it? The rune symbols are completely different?"

Yucheng said and gestured to his neck: "I have sent someone to check, and the new batch of 'Harry Potter' are all 'b' symbols."

Fu Shen: "... Isn't this the problem to be solved now? Do you think I really know everything?"

Yucheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he drew a gesture of "You are so awesome", and sat down on the bed again.

At this time, in the corner of the room, Xiaopang, who had been particularly silent from the beginning to the end, suddenly snorted—such a sound successfully drew the attention of everyone in the room to him, Xiaopang seemed to be taken aback, Zhang's face turned red: "Can I express my opinion?"

"No," Yucheng said, "Who are you?"

Fu Shen: "The person who rescued those materials with me."

"Oh, that means you have had close contact with Test Subject No. [-]," Yucheng nodded, "Have you had a physical examination?"

"The 'i' on him is what I can't figure out the most," Fushen said, "The symbol will be an 'i' only after being completely infected with the virus and deciphered. Xiaopang's situation should be the same as those newcomers Just like the boy born with superpowers, then what appeared on him should be 'b'—"

"I don't care if you are Captain America or Harry Potter," Yucheng said, "I will register with me in a while, and anyone who has this ability must register. I didn't read the news bulletin. If you don't register, you will still run around the world. What?"

Zhao Heng changed his sitting position: "Oh, shut up, my brain hurts when I hear your voice—student, what do you want to say, you can start talking now."

Yucheng turned his head and glanced at Zhao Heng dissatisfied. Behind him, Xiaopang got the permission and seemed to have finally regained his energy. He turned on his laptop and entered a series of keywords in a certain search website while explain--

"I got some information on the Internet before, and someone suggested a keyword. At first, I didn't quite understand what that meant, but now that you mentioned something related to 'Austin', it makes perfect sense. -"

Xiaopang hit enter, and then turned the computer to Fushen and the others——

"Look, all the explanations are here!"

Fushen narrowed his eyes slightly, Zhao Heng, Yucheng and Enoch also leaned over to look, the four of them were silent for a few seconds at the same time, Yucheng said: "I thought you were going to say something earth-shattering, now you tell me the answer is in Baidu Encyclopedia ?...This classmate, may I ask if you deserve a fucking beating?"

Fatty showed a frightened expression.

Zhao Heng stretched out his hand to cover Yucheng's mouth and pushed him back into the bed, grabbed the pillow and pressed it against his face.

God Fu dragged the computer over, and saw the entry of the mythical character "Odin" displayed on the computer screen, and there was a line of words about the character's belief below——

[The warriors of northern Europe believe that if they can be blessed by Odin during the war, they can get a force with the spirit of a bear and the bravery of a wolf, and become Berser "Berserkerrage", that is, "berserker" or Translated as "Bassaka") and invincible on the battlefield. 】"The source of the 'b' totem," Xiaopang explained, "is caused by the belief in the god Odin—rather than the active blessing of Odin itself, understand? I mean, those soldiers They were actively blessed, so the "blessing runes" appeared on their bodies, and those who appeared later, they were spontaneous and naturally formed warriors-a certain common belief, or obsession brought them together. Together, under the influence of the crystal, they became 'berserkers'!"

"It makes sense." Zhao Heng let go of the pillow covering Yucheng's face, pushed away a step and said in a non-fluctuating voice, "If this is the case, then these will be two completely different evolved human beings."

"Is this a good thing?" Yucheng got up from the bed with a confused look on his face, "After all, the number of 'i' soldiers seems to be a little less, and those test subjects are all super invincible perverts—"

Zhao Heng: "You still want to send a group of kids to save the world?"

Yucheng: "Can't it? The world belongs to them too."

Zhao Heng stopped talking, he looked at Yucheng silently, so without waiting for Zhao Heng to make a move, Yucheng silently pressed the pillow back to his face and fell on the bed.

For a long time, he was buried in the pillow and muffled and said——

"I've waited 23 years and still haven't gotten an owl from Hogwarts. Now I finally have the opportunity to be called a super-powered boy by virtue of my faith. As a result, I am old and have no dreams. Isn’t he just a test subject, picking and choosing as long as he only wants fresh meat, what are you being arrogant about!”

……

At 8:00 am the next day, the outdoor temperature in Washington, D.C. was minus 33.5 degrees Celsius. This is an ordinary high-end residential area.

Although it has already ushered in the early morning of the day in terms of time, the darkness outside the window always gives people the illusion that the night has not passed, and everything around is eerily quiet, and the only thing left is the wind and snow outside the house beating against the window sound from above.

After Mrs. William got up, she went to the living room to prepare the family's breakfast as usual—at this time, her husband was still sleeping peacefully in bed, and her little daughter...

Mrs. William, who was sitting by the bed, seemed to have thought of something, and picked up yesterday's newspaper. A corner of the carefully folded newspaper took up about a quarter, and the report in it was that The miraculous scene in which the girl rescued the baby who fell from the height of more than 20 floors on the way home——

"Diana." Mrs. William looked at the way her daughter was holding the baby in the newspaper and looking at the camera dully. For a moment, she pressed the newspaper to her chest as if she wanted to hug the girl in the photo, "I hope the new ability can give You bring some vitality, and your life will become more beautiful..."

a long time.

Only then did Mrs. William put down the newspaper in her hand, looked at the clock beside the bed, and realized that if she didn’t prepare breakfast, the family would starve after getting up. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up. The slight coldness made her shiver——

"The underfloor heating doesn't work anymore? In such a cold weather, if it continues like this, maybe Piccolo won't have to go to the company and work at home instead."

The muttering to himself sounded, followed by the tendency of slippers to walk in the corridor—then, accompanied by a soft 'click', a small part of the living room was illuminated by dim lights.

In the dim light, Mrs. William was taken aback by a slightly wriggling white figure lying on the sofa in front of the fish tank, but she soon realized that the figure with her back turned to her was nothing more than her nightgown. The little girl—the cartoon plush slippers on her feet are the best proof.

"Diana? My dear, you woke up so early today? The school has not been announced to resume classes, you can sleep a little longer-what are you doing there, dear?"

Mrs. Williams approached gradually.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of goldfish jumping from the fish tank.

She stopped subconsciously.

At this time, she saw the girl lying on the side of the fish tank turn her head. Under the dim light, it was not difficult to see a trace of wet water on her chest at this time, and the girl seemed unaware of it—Mrs. William frowned slightly , although her daughter is no longer afraid of the severe cold after the magical power appeared, she still worried that she would catch cold in this kind of weather. However, before she had time to remind her daughter to dry the clothes quickly, when her eyes slightly Moving up, the scene she saw immediately blocked all the words in her throat——

At the corners of the girl's tightly closed pale lips, there was a thin reddish film exposed, under the gaze of the girl, the film flapped, as if something was in the last dying struggle——

The girl's throat moved, and after a "click" of chewing, the fish tail finally stopped flapping... her pale lips moved, it was sucked in, and disappeared from Mrs. William's sight.

The girl showed a familiar smile to Mrs. William: "Good morning, Mom, is breakfast ready? Can I have steak?"
