King from scratch

Tinder".

The torrential rain didn't stop, and ripples kept appearing on the sea surface, and the impact of the large tide of mutated creatures continued to spread.

After leaving the offshore area, the traffic signal on the ship was completely broken, so Wu Xing received the news one step slower than the others.

The news that the tide of mutated creatures was moving towards the high seas for unknown reasons, through multiple transfers, made it to Wu Xing's ears with difficulty.

Of course, this time difference means that when Wu Xing got the news, all countries had already learned the news.

It took Hua Guo a lot of effort to convince several other countries—especially those in the direction of the tide of mutant creatures—not to act rashly.

Mutated creatures are certainly terrifying, but humans at the top of the food chain are equally terrifying.

It is not that countries do not have trump cards - all kinds of missiles erected on land, aircraft carriers docked in various ports, and even deterrent "nuclear weapons" are all cards that have not yet been unsheathed.

Although these weapons had minor problems such as positioning deviations to varying degrees due to the influence of the ether, they were not turned into broken copper and iron that could not be activated in such a short period of time.

In fact, in order to open up the waterway, some weapons have already bombed a circle at sea, but while clearing a large area of ​​the sea area, the lethality of the mutated creatures on the sea has been further strengthened.

Facts have proved that unless they can completely exterminate all creatures in the sea, bombing alone cannot clear the sea area. On the contrary, this will only cause the other side of the confrontation to mutate and become stronger in the intense attack.

Logically speaking, the speed of He Xingwen's lifeboat is not as fast as that of the warship. Why is the opponent so much ahead of them?

Wu Xing was puzzled, but still ordered the warship to speed up again.

Because the road ahead has been cleared by He Xingwen, the warship can move forward in a straight line without being disturbed.

But that didn't bring them closer.

Mutated creatures are much faster than machines in the sea.

When He Xingwen woke up in a daze, the sound of heavy rain had not stopped, and the sky in the distance was gloomy as if it had entered the night.

He Xingwen was a little confused about the situation for a while, and looked around from the canopy—except for the densely packed mutated creatures that were fighting, he saw nothing.

It seemed that he was still on the way. He Xingwen yawned and was about to sleep for a while. He just lay down and closed his eyes. The scene he glanced at just now played back in his mind, densely packed with mutant creatures fighting...?

He sat up, poked his head out again, and looked around.

The increase in the number of mutated creatures is actually hard to detect, because there are too many mutated creatures around He Xingwen.

The point is, the mutated creatures that mingle together.

The more He Xingwen watched, the more frightened he became. He found that the surrounding mutant creatures, from the giant mutant creature next to the boat to the outermost mutant creature, were almost all fighting.

The fighting behavior of mutant creatures along the way has never stopped, but it has always been small-scale and sporadic, but now all mutant creatures are fighting.

The movement was so loud that the blood on the sea flowed far away, and the huge waves caused by the fighting of mutant creatures could be seen from a distance.

Under such circumstances, the lifeboat that He Xingwen was on was miraculously not affected, just like the eye of a tornado in the middle of a tornado, and there are huge waves raging beyond the calm.

"What happened?" He Xingwen glanced at the navigation subconsciously. The navigation stopped on the high seas—they had already arrived at their destination.

But what about the wreckage that should be around the destination?What about the trapped scientific research team?

He Xingwen looked into the distance and saw huge waves, not to mention the scientific research team, who couldn't even see the empty sea.

"As you can see, the mutated creatures are fighting." He Tong explained: "Half an hour ago, the lifeboat arrived on the high seas. At that time, there was a large group of mutated creatures on the high seas. They gathered here for some reason. After you appeared, they were attracted by the high concentration of ether on your body and moved towards you, so the two groups of mutated creatures came into contact, which led to the current situation."

He Tong defined this scene: "Don't worry, this is just a way for mutant creatures to re-establish order. When they finish fighting, they will calm down."

"So, before my arrival, a large group of mutated creatures gathered on the high seas?" He Xingwen grasped the key point: "Is this the reason why the scientific research team was trapped and lost contact?"

"Obvious."

"And there are quite a few mutant creatures," He Xingwen said thoughtfully. The original order of the mutant creatures can be thrown into chaos on a large scale. Then the question is obvious: "Why are so many mutated creatures gathered here?"

He Tong calmly said: "It's the same as the reason why you attract mutant creatures, there are things with high ether concentration here."

The so-called "high ether concentration" on the earth only means that this thing is not a product of the earth.

He Xingwen: "Things with high ether concentration? Are you saying that the channel between the other world and the earth has been opened?"

He Tong: "According to my judgment, 20 years is not enough time for the other world to develop to this extent on the road of exploring technology."

He Xingwen couldn't care less about the bloody fighting scenes around him, he searched the sea surface, trying to find the existence of this so-called "high ether concentration".

"Where is it?"

He Tong marked the location of the other party in He Xingwen's line of sight, just like the pathfinding function in some kind of online game. He Xingwen's line of sight clearly marked the location of the other party and the distance between him and the other party.

More than 1000 meters, not too far.

There is just one small problem, He Xingwen can't swim...

He Xingwen glanced at the turbulent sea, without hesitation, took his weapon and jumped into the sea.

In an instant, there was an open space around him, and the mutated creatures kept a distance from him.

The familiar feeling of drowning came, and He Xingwen spit out a string of bubbles. The bubbles floated up along the water surface, while He Xingwen sank along the sea water.

"You are too risky," He Tong sighed, repeating the precautions for swimming: "Be careful to hold your breath..."

Facts have proved that people's physiques are different. Some people can lift a bridge car with bare hands to rescue their relatives who were crushed under the car in an emergency, while some people drowned in the sea...and passed out up.

He Tong sighed deeply, once again lamenting the fragility of human beings.

A tentacle cautiously stretched out from the side, rolled up the suffocating He Xingwen, and put it in the wreckage of the ship that sank on the seabed.

After completing this series of movements smoothly, the tentacle seemed to realize what it had done, and quickly withdrew its hand, trembling aside, peeing out of fear again.

After He Tong put He Xingwen on the wreckage, he ignored the reaction of the big octopus, but controlled the hull and opened the sealed area that was not completely damaged. The self-moving steel transported He Xingwen into the sealed area of ​​the wreck like a conveyor belt.

Because it is still sealed, there is enough air remaining here, and it is the only safe area left in the wreckage of the ship.

He Xingwen woke up from the strange pressure. He spat out a belly full of water and felt like he was alive again.

"It seems that I don't have much talent in the field of swimming." He Xingwen coughed, supported his body, and after seeing the person who gave him first aid in front of him, he froze in place: "I thought... what do you call it? Here, Where is it?"

He Xingwen looked around while asking the Hua people in front of him, and noticed that the distance between him and the coordinates where the "high concentration ether" was located had become farther away.

Of course, this was not because the other party was moving, but because He Xingwen struggled unconsciously after drowning and deviated from the original route.

This looks like a laboratory...

In this small space, experimental equipment was broken all over the floor, and several corpses in white coats were placed in the far corner. The bloody ground proved that a sudden disaster had occurred here, and the Chinese man in front of him seemed to be the only one who survived. By.

Unfortunately, the opponent's current situation is not good.

The white coat on his body was red, because there were too many bloodstains, it was even difficult to see with the naked eye where the other party was injured. His glasses with broken lenses were hanging on his ears, and he squinted his eyes to look at He Xingwen carefully.

He Xingwen subconsciously helped him up.

"Are you from the army?" The other party did not sit down and rest on his hand, but led He Xingwen to the side console with weak strength.

He Xingwen glanced at the uniform on his body - this is the supplies on the lifeboat.

He Xingwen avoids the important and ignores the trivial: "I am a member of the rescue team, Dr. Wang who came to the high seas search and rescue scientific research team..."

"He's there," the other party pointed to the pile of corpses in the corner, and said, "Fortunately, you're here. If you come later, you probably won't be able to see me."

He Xingwen held the other party by the arm, and looked at the blood-stained white coat on the other party: "Your injury..."

The other party didn't care about his question at all, and threw himself on the operating table, dazedly clicking, muttering to himself: "You take the information back and tell the country that we have made a breakthrough, a big breakthrough."

He tremblingly performed the iris verification on the console, and transferred all the data and information to the electronic storage. The transfer of a large amount of data would take a little time to complete.

Taking advantage of this time, the other party briefly explained their discovery to He Xingwen: "Mutated creatures in the sea, apart from the evolution caused by the mutation, there is one more important point."

"They use ether."

"Use ether?"

"I believe that they are evolving in all directions, not only in force, but also in IQ." The other party took a breath, and continued: "Just like humans, they are also using ether, and even to some extent , they are far more skilled in the use of ether than we are."

"It's just different from human beings. They use the specific form of ether to control the medium, such as water, instead of mobilizing ether directly. Of course, this is easy to understand. The ether on the earth is thin, so we use ether to attack The income is often very low, because we have to gather enough ether from the thin environment, but mutant creatures are different from us, they directly control the medium..."

"This is a new way," said the other party's voice in a low voice: "Our way at the beginning was wrong. We followed the game and tried to copy the understanding of the ether in the intelligent creatures in the game, but we forgot that the situation on the earth is the same as that of the ether." They are different, what we need to learn is not games, but these mutant creatures on earth who rely on instinct."

"Go find a way to control those media, combine the ancient elements of Huaguo..." His voice suddenly became louder, his face flushed a little: "By the way, I saw how you came in from the outside, your special The ability is to control steel?"

He Xingwen nodded hesitantly.

"Then you should combine your special ability to study how to use ether instead of trying to directly drive pure ether energy, which is too difficult for us..."

The other party looked at the console, and after seeing the reminder that the data transfer was complete, he smiled and pointed in the direction of the console: "The data transfer is complete, you can take the data storage back and give it to the country. Just say..."

"We have lived up to the country's expectations, Lao Wang...he succeeded."

He Xingwen stepped forward to pull out the data storage device, hesitated for a while, looked at the other party and said, "Your injury..."

No one answered in the small room.

With a smile on the other side, he has already slept forever.

"Can you save him?" He Xingwen stopped talking, looked at the other's body, and couldn't help asking one more question.

"If I can bring the dead back to life, then I won't be so worried about your safety." He Tong could understand He Xingwen's emotion of hurting others at the moment, and he comforted He Xingwen in a somewhat unskilled way: "His injury is too serious. Until you appear, it is already a miracle created by a powerful mind."

He Xingwen glanced at the information memory in his hand, and clenched it tightly.
