King from scratch

He Xingwen sealed the information memory layer by layer and placed it on the innermost side of the uniform for safekeeping.

The hull suddenly vibrated, like some kind of omen, and soon, the hull kept shaking, as if something kept pushing it, causing it to turn over violently.

The world turned upside down, and all the furnishings in the room and the debris on the floor were smashed down. He Xingwen was caught off guard, and collided with the corpse on the side. Just when he was about to be smashed, a big hole suddenly appeared in the cabin .

The sealed environment was suddenly broken, and the imbalance of internal and external air pressure sucked He Xingwen, who was closest to the cave entrance, out of the cave entrance, and his face was flooded with sea water.

He Tong planned a route to escape from the wreckage, and there were sudden openings everywhere, and He Xingwen was safely "dropped" out of the wreckage from the deepest safe zone.

He Xingwen "gurgled" along the water flow, and the last time he looked at the airtight cabin, it was sea water pouring in along the hole in the cabin, washing everything away.

Perhaps it was because the drowning just now gave He Xingwen some resistance. This time He Xingwen "gurgled" in the sea for a long time, but did not faint easily, but "floated" out of the wreckage soberly, and saw the culprit of the accident culprit.

Three circles inside and three circles outside surrounded the entire wreckage with a tide of mutant creatures. Some of the mutant creatures rushed into the wreckage due to their small size, while some mutant creatures were too big to grab the wreckage and turned it into a monster. Shake it...

If it weren't for the presence of He Tong, He Xingwen might not be able to survive such a wreckage if He Xingwen was given a hundred lives.

He Xingwen opened his mouth to speak, and a series of "gurgling" came out of his mouth, filling his mouth full of sea water, completely dispelling his idea of ​​asking questions.

"The Hua Guo warship is approaching in this direction," He Tong reported the situation more than ten kilometers away, and reminded He Xingwen by the way: "But the most important thing right now is that you can't swim."

You know, you still speak in a leisurely manner?

He Xingwen was a little dizzy in front of his eyes, and lack of oxygen for a long time made him drown again.

It looked like he was about to faint again.

"With that in mind, are you interested in what the scientist just said?"

What did the scientist say just now?There was a white light in front of He Xingwen's eyes, and his thoughts subconsciously followed He Tong's words.

He has absolute trust in He Tong, and he is sure that He Tong cares more about his safety than he does.

So He Xingwen tried hard to recall what the other party said last, and a few words came to He Xingwen's mind: "medium", "water", "ether", "traditional culture"?

He Xingwen couldn't continue to think about the meaning behind these words. His brain lacked oxygen and he was already in a semi-comatose state.

He Tong is still unhurriedly telling He Xingwen: "It is better to control the ether than to use the medium, because the concentration is too low, the ether on the earth does not exist in any form, so to be precise, it exists in everything, you feel Reached?"

What do you feel?He Xingwen could hear He Tong's voice flowing past his ears, with a little aftertaste, unable to form a specific meaning.

"Ether, water." He Tong monitored He Xingwen's physical condition, ready to interrupt at any time to ensure the absolute safety of He Xingwen: "They are by your side."

ether?water?

The bubbling He Xingwen suddenly realized something, indeed, there is water everywhere, the water that submerged him, the water that overflowed from his body...

Those weak ethers moved slowly, shaking their heads as if to show that they were still alive.

One after another, the "heads" swayed in the water molecules until they became one piece.

The mutated creatures who had lost interest in the wreckage after He Xingwen appeared were now huddled next to He Xingwen, surrounding him layer by layer, because He Xingwen's vital signs gradually weakened, wildness gradually suppressed his fear, and he was eager to try.

The weak ether reacted, and the thin water mist wrapped He Xingwen's body. The appearance of fresh air made He Xingwen regain consciousness after a brief coma.

"what happened?"

When He Xingwen opened his eyes, his eyes were full of mutated creatures with strange appearances, so that he didn't even notice his strangeness immediately.

He Xingwen stretched out his hand, and the mutated creatures in the encirclement immediately gave way to an unobstructed field of vision.

The sea is still the same sea, the wreckage is more miserable than before, other than that...

He Xingwen took a deep breath and felt the beauty of the land in the free air.

"Congratulations, you have become No.1 who successfully practiced Dr. Wang's theory," He Tong said, "At the critical moment of life and death, you broke through yourself and successfully controlled the water element to create a filter for yourself."

He Xingwen glanced at the layer of water mist clinging to his body. He was in the sea, but this layer of water mist was continuously providing him with enough oxygen to breathe.

He Xingwen hesitated: "Sounds great? But what is the principle of this oxygen supply?"

"It's a very simple chemical principle, water can be split into oxygen and hydrogen by electrolysis..."

He Tong's words just started, and He Xingwen has already begun to think about why he asked this question, and why he should seriously study how superpowers are achieved?

Anyway, he did.

He Xingwen inserted a sentence in He Tong's dense explanation: "So, I can control the water? Do I have special abilities?"

When He Tong heard this question, he knew that He Xingwen didn't hear a single word of the explanation just now: "Although it is through the use of media, in the final analysis, it is still the control of the ether."

"The degree of control over the ether determines the limit degree of media control," He Tong said euphemistically: "At present, you can probably only do this."

For this step, he had to rely on lingering at the critical point of life and death to break through forcefully, otherwise He Xingwen had never learned how to control the level of ether, so don't even think about it.

He Xingwen was a little disappointed, he put aside the idea of ​​controlling the earth-shaking sea, and became happy again: "At least I won't drown now."

The joy of the humble savior, simple as that.

He Xingwen touched his clothes, confirmed that the data storage was not lost, and recalibrated his direction. He was not in a hurry to find Wu Xing and the others, but was going to see the "high concentration ether object" that attracted a large wave of mutant creatures to the open sea. ".

He aimed at the position of the "high concentration ether object" on the retina and moved forward.

The mutated creatures surrounding him turned around, and the ocean current brought by many mutated creatures moving forward together turned into a wave on the sea surface. It was inconspicuous, but in the eyes of caring people, it was hard to ignore.

The warship that successfully arrived at the outskirts of the high seas successfully met the survivors who followed the tide of mutant creatures. The two sides reconciled and continued to track the traces of mutant creatures.

Because the mutated creatures flooded into the bottom of the sea with He Xingwen, they lost their eye-catching targets. Instead, they found the lifeboat floating on the sea first.

Most of the supplies were still on board, but He Xingwen, who should have been on board, was nowhere to be seen.

After expanding the search area nearby and still finding nothing, people's eyes fell below the sea surface.

Wu Xing and the others held a simple discussion on this situation.

"This is the last location where the scientific research team lost contact. He may have gone down."

"Well, shall we go down?"

"If we bump into that group of mutated creatures, we have no chance of winning in the water."

"Wait a little longer and see what happens."

After waiting for a long time, they finally managed to find the abnormal trace on the water surface. The wave spread in another direction, and the group of creatures below was moving.

After waiting patiently for a while again, it was confirmed that theoretically speaking, all the mutated creatures had left, and the warship put down a small-scale detection tool to carefully check the traces under the sea water. After ensuring safety, the rescue team entered the sea to rescue the wreckage.

Although He Xingwen was a step behind, there was still a lot of special information worth recording in the wreckage—after all, people in desperate situations would not pin their hopes on someone finding them in time.

When the rescue team fulfilled the task of this trip, He Xingwen had already walked for half a day, and quickly shortened the distance between him and the target.

"That thing with a high concentration of ether is not dangerous, right?" He Xingwen hurried on his way, confirming this with He Tong: "I'll just pick it up in the past?"

He Tong hesitated.

He Xingwen took two more steps, and suddenly realized something: "But it's a bit strange, why its position has not changed? I mean, it is different from me, and it has no deterrent to mutant creatures. Mutant creatures should snatch it and kill it." Run, why did it turn into a development in which the scientific research team on the high seas was trapped by mutated creatures?"

He Tong: "Probably because the mutant creature can't grab it and run away?"

He Xingwen: "That's why mutated creatures are constantly being attracted, so that the number of mutated creatures in the high seas is too large, and the situation is out of control, causing accidents in the scientific research team?"

He Xingwen felt that he needed to revise his guess about this mutant creature: "How big is it?"

He Tong didn't answer his question, because He Xingwen had already got the answer.

When he was still a hundred meters away from the high-concentration object, He Xingwen saw its figure.

The black diamond-shaped object standing on the land under the sea is very eye-catching. Its size is not amazing, even in front of giant mutant creatures, it is small enough to be called small.

At this moment, many mutated creatures have been attracted by it, and approached this black diamond-shaped object with three steps and three turns, vividly showing that they did not want to leave He Xingwen (with high concentration of ether), but were also attracted by (another one with high concentration of ether) Scenes where objects attract.

He Xingwen stopped, but they didn't stop. The distance of a hundred meters was not that far for these mutated underwater creatures. Some anxious mutated creatures jumped directly in front of the black diamond-shaped object.

Then He Xingwen saw with his own eyes the answer to the question why the mutant creature ran away without snatching it.

Probably sensing a creature approaching, a thin "membrane" suddenly spread over the black diamond-shaped object.

This state is difficult to describe. From the appearance, it looks like a flowing liquid and a solid, full of fantasy.

Probably because they suffered a lot, when they saw this strange thing reappeared, the mutated creatures running in the front stopped abruptly and started to run back.

And some of the mutated creatures who followed He Xingwen from the offshore area to the high seas did not suffer any disadvantages, and happily moved to the area with the strongest ether concentration—that is, in front of that strange "membrane".

As the living creature approached, the membrane began to shake slightly, and the flowing liquid swayed violently. It was hard not to worry about what to do if the liquid was thrown out. Fortunately, it was not a pure liquid, even if the shaking was extremely violent, It is still firmly bound in the "membrane".

A certain mutated creature bumped into this "membrane", and a bright light flashed from the violently shaking "membrane", and there was a crackling sound on the scene, and all the mutated creatures within a hundred meters of the black diamond-shaped object were electrified and turned into idiots. control of the limbs.

The creature 100 meters away and within 500 meters trembled, as if it had been powered off for a short time, the whole body was shocked, and then huffed and ran towards the opposite distance.

He Xingwen was also among the terrified creatures. He shuddered, and looked at those mutated creatures standing frozen in the seawater in various strange postures with great sympathy.

The energy of this electric man is a bit weird. It's not the familiar electricity on Earth, but some kind of... the use of energy?

He Xingwen didn't know much about ether, so it was difficult to describe that feeling in detail, but one thing is certain, it acts on all living things, and it will not be weakened by the physical strength of the living beings.

In other words, even if you don't feel pain, you will be stunned by it.

"Well, it seems that this is not something casual." He Xingwen looked at the black diamond-shaped object. From a distance, he couldn't see if there were any special marks on it, but this thing could be confirmed even just by looking at its shape. , it is by no means a product of the earth.

Because its material does not belong to any kind that He Xingwen is familiar with.

He Xingwen took a step forward and said as he walked, "It lit up just now, why? It can't be to make those mutated creatures into idiots, right?"

He Tong: "I probably wanted to open the portal to send the living things back, but it didn't work."

He Xingwen staggered when he heard the words, stabilized his body, and confirmed with He Tong again: "What did you say? A portal?"

"This is a creation from another world." He Tong didn't feel that he said anything amazing, and said calmly: "The reason why it appeared here is naturally with a mission."

He Xingwen had already walked in front of this black diamond-shaped object, and he carefully kept a safe distance from it to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy just now.

And when it didn't get close to the "membrane", it didn't respond in any other way.

After getting closer, the size of the object seemed bigger, and the pure black unknown material didn't have the special marks that He Xingwen imagined before, or even any symbols.

Some kind of high-energy unknown objects are inlaid on the four corners of the rhombus, which should be the energy source for its operation.

It is full of a certain sense of simplicity, completely different from the habits of the different world civilization and the Safa Federation that He Xingwen is familiar with.

It appears that it did not come from either of these hands.

In other words, it is a creation from an uncontacted world civilization.

He Xingwen thought for a moment, took a breath and said, "Is this world a little too lively?"

Forget about the different world, after all, in a sense, it was chosen by He Tong himself.

But how come a world that has never been touched has emerged?

"Intelligent creatures are keen to explore the world. After figuring out the mysteries of the world, it is normal to look beyond the world."

He Tong: "Contacts between different worlds are not uncommon. It's just that for earth civilizations, if they haven't even figured out the mysteries of their own world, they will naturally not develop to the point where they can contact other worlds. So much so that this concept is very important for people on earth. On the contrary, it is a very unimaginable thing.”

"This locator cannot be activated, because the laws of this world do not support this energy operation mode. If there is no accident, it will become another unsolved mystery in the depths of the sea."

He Xingwen took two steps back when he heard this, and distanced himself from the diamond-shaped object: "Then let it be an unsolved mystery, as if I didn't see anything."

He Tong continued unhurriedly: "However, an accident has already occurred. Of course, I don't mean that you discovered it, but I mean the recovery of spiritual energy, which should not have happened."

He Xingwen stopped in his tracks, sighed faintly, and finally knew what the beginning of a new era was.

The beginning of a new era means that countless new things appear in this era.

Not just ether, this basic energy is fundamentally changing the entire world, including every aspect of human life, and naturally every aspect of the world.

For example, uninvited "new friends."

But He Xingwen still confirmed with He Tong rigorously: "So, it won't become an unsolved mystery?"

"Yes, in the era of aura recovery, the laws of the world are also slowly changing - after all, before this world, there were no humans who could walk freely on the seabed, but now, humans can even absorb electricity.

If you leave it alone, when the laws of the world become too magical, it will be successfully activated and return the coordinates of this world, providing a prerequisite for breaking through the world barrier. "

He Xingwen was thoughtful: "Then the other party must not just come to see the scenery of other worlds?"

He Tong: "Considering that the world is full of wonders, the possibility that the other party is here to appreciate the scenery of another world cannot be completely ruled out."

"This is not good news," He Xingwen muttered, "It's better for the Salfa Federation to break the world barrier first and establish a connection with the earth. At least they are a group of acquaintances."

He Tong is very objective: "When a group breaks through the original limitations, they also enter a brand new world. The earth is like this now. What it has to face is a brand new world and countless new challenges."

"Of course, when other worlds have reached this point, most of them have already completed the process of internal will collectivization. It is because there is no existence worthy of their attention in the world that they will enter the next stage and start Take on new challenges."

But the situation on the earth is slightly different - this world is defined as incomplete and broken. In the vast universe, there is only one civilization.

If there is no accident, it should have ushered in destruction.

Individuals in the civilization avoid the fate of destruction through opportunistic methods. If this is a game, then the earth civilization that started in hell has achieved an unimaginable high score.

So, the referee assigned it to the level of difficulty that the high score should go to. Once matched, the surroundings are all ascending civilizations...

"The causal cycle is really interesting." He Xingwen gritted his teeth and said, "At least, now, this thing won't start successfully, right?"

"Yes, it needs the evolution of the laws of the world to complete. But according to my speculation, this is just the beginning..." He Tong: "I mean, not only one world has noticed the civilization of the earth."

In the future, various creations from other worlds may appear on the earth one after another...

"Look carefully," He Xingwen quickly entered his familiar state of saving the world: "One of these foreign products that try to locate the plane of the earth is counted as one, and they all make it impossible to start. Procrastinate until the latest."

"You already have a solution to your problem?"

"Isn't the Salfa Federation just studying how to break through the world barrier?" He Xingwen turned around and left without giving the diamond-shaped object another look: "I have to help them."

He Tong: "Do you want to open up the connection between the other world and the earth?"

It's not a good thing for the planet either.

Although they understand the different world, it is because of their understanding that they can be more sure of this.

It is possible that after knowing the existence of the world projection, they immediately proposed the different world of "building a new world with the continent as the core".

The law of the jungle is imprinted in their bones, and kneeling for the strong does not mean that they will tolerate the weak.

"No, let the mainland play with its own world projection." He Xingwen stopped and turned to look at the diamond-shaped object behind him: "I want to bring this thing to the Sarda Federation."

Considering the difficulty, He Xingwen took the initiative to take a step back: "It's fine to only bring the key information carried by this thing."

He Tong understood: "Cause the water to the east? Let the Safa Federation go to this world of creation to explore the way first?"

"How can this be called misfortune? It's called satisfying their scientific research spirit." He Xingwen said as he walked, "The rest is for the earth to save itself. At least we still have time to race with them."

He stopped, and the tide of mutated creatures that followed him also braked suddenly, causing a wave of water in the sea, so that the members of the rescue team who were busy not far away turned their heads as if they felt it, and talked with He Xingwen and... The mighty mutated creatures looked straight at it.

"Mom."

The members of the rescue team who witnessed this scene pressed the emergency button immediately, and the small lights on the shoulders of all members of the rescue team turned red.

He Xingwen, who was immersed in thinking about how to steal the tower in the high-end game, didn't pay attention, walked too fast, and bumped into the rescue team who were still cleaning up the wreckage.

He Tong was not moved by this small accident, and continued the conversation: "Self-saving? You mean, give them a push? Let them improve their combat effectiveness before the visit of creatures from other worlds?"

He Xingwen covered his head and looked back, thinking that it would be too late for him to turn his head and leave now. Anyway, to mutant creatures, his attraction is much stronger than that of humans.

"Learning skills from barbarians to control barbarians..." Of course, He Xingwen would not directly tell them that a certain other world had already tried to locate the location of the earth world, but he found such a strange thing by accident, and of course he had to report it to the country.

As for what the country has researched from this obvious foreign product, that is beyond He Xingwen's control.

But right now, He Xingwen is facing another problem - how can he get rid of the group of mutant creatures attacking indiscriminately around him, and connect with Wu Xing and the others?
