I take skeletons to the apocalypse

The dilapidated truck was carried by crows and flew across the sky.

In the rickety carriage, Xia Xi only had time to pay attention to the samples in his hand.

The two sample boxes were about the same size as the previous clover mother plant, and one of them contained a very ordinary-looking mushroom.This is the symbiotic mushroom spore of S03, and everyone has known about it before.

Shahi's attention turned to another glass sample.

There is a butterfly in that glass cabinet. The wings of the butterfly are ice blue. With the change of the surrounding light, there are beautiful silver patterns all over the body, which will change with the change of light. It looks very beautiful.It's just that the two wings of the butterfly are fixed on the sample holder by the needles at this time, and they can't move. If it weren't for the clear fluctuation of the ability inside, Xia Xi would have thought that he had stolen a sample.

Xia Xi opened the information booklet about this butterfly in her hand, and as soon as her eyes fell on the first line, she heard Jing Lan call out the name of the sample accurately.

"Styx Phantom Butterfly."

"You know him?" Xia Xi looked up in surprise.

"Well, I've seen it." Jing Lan glanced at the butterfly sample, with a faint dark light flashing in his eyes, then turned his gaze to the distance, and reminded lightly: "The Styx Phantom Butterfly is a rare mental attack power, which is very dangerous. high."

Xia Xi caught the strange emotion that flashed in Jing Lan's eyes when he said that he had seen her before.Not only was it a little strange, but Jing Lan's reaction was not as simple as just seeing him, what was he covering up?

"I saw it in the previous life? In the research institute?"

Xia Xi, who got an affirmative answer, had a vague guess in his heart.This butterfly may have something to do with Jing Lan's experience in the research institute.

Jing Lan knew that with Xia Xi's keenness, she would soon know the truth.He couldn't deal with it calmly, but he had nowhere to hide it. He could only look out of the window as if evading, a corner of the sky exposed among the densely packed crow feathers.

The name Styx Phantom Butterfly is beautiful, but its meaning has nothing to do with beauty.It refers to the use of illusion to bring people to a near-death scene, as if swimming in the Styx.

Its attack is invisible and qualityless, it is pure spiritual energy, as long as the two are in the same space, it can guide the target to experience all kinds of painful and terrifying nightmares.The longer it is affected, the deeper it will be in the illusion.

The fear and despair of dying will greatly stimulate people's potential, and people will unconsciously mobilize their abilities to resist and improve their abilities at a faster speed.It is a very useful tool in the hands of the doctor.

Inhaling large amounts of phantom powder may cause total mental breakdown.Immersed in terrifying illusions forever, and even use death to seek relief.

But the Doctor doesn't care about that.He just wants to cultivate the most powerful spar.In his eyes, the same kind is just the matrix that raises these crystals.And the spar is the fruit he really wants to harvest.

He trapped people in petri dishes, provided them with unlimited crystals for absorption, and used dying fear and despair as fertilizer.It is to cultivate high-value spar.

These harvested spars and artificial humans are combined to form the strongest human weapon.And Jing Lan's corrosion power spar is undoubtedly the most anticipated one among all the spars of the doctor.It's a pity that the doctor couldn't wait for the harvest.

After reading the information, Xia Xi fell silent.The records on the information are not detailed, and the introduction of the function is only a few lines. He can't imagine the despair brought about by that kind of horror.

Before Xia Xi knew that the doctor had done a lot of harmful things, but he didn't hate this person much in his heart, but rather admired him.Smart enough and ruthless enough, he did kill many people, but he also protected many people.Without him, Jingting City would not be where it is today.

But at this moment, Xia Xi could no longer judge the doctor with the eyes of an outsider.All he could think about was the scene of Jing Lan being tied to the anatomy table in the laboratory and repeatedly experiencing the illusion of death.

Xia Xi only felt like something was grabbing her heart, and she felt a little dull pain, and at the same time suppressed a fire, wanting to destroy it.

What Xia Xi hated the most before was the Pope of Light, but now the doctor is probably added to the hated list.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the trip.

The little crow escorted Xia Xi all the way and flew hundreds of kilometers, and only slowly put the truck on the return surface after it was completely away from the sphere of influence of Jingting City.

Everyone hurriedly got out of the car to thank them.

A flock of crows circled up into the sky.

"Quack." The little crow rubbed its head against the side of Xia Xi's face.Then it flapped its wings and flew up.It flew around Xia Xi, around the truck, around the road, flying higher and higher, farther and farther.

"Are you leaving?" Xia Xi understood what the little crow meant. The little crow has its own group, and it can no longer follow Xia Xi around.He may lead the group to migrate to a place more suitable for their development.

"Gah."

Xia Xi could still recall the scene when he met the little crow for the first time.

no party last forever.

Xia Xi, who was used to parting, raised the corners of her mouth, smiled and waved to the little crow: "Goodbye, take care of yourself."

"Quack!" The little crow responded again, and finally led the crows to fly farther and farther, and finally disappeared into the invisible sky.

The truck drove forward for another day, and the air became humid. Xia Xi heard the sound of the waves crashing, and at the same time smelled the unique salty smell of the sea.

Chasing Light's new address is built on an uninhabited deserted island.

That night, after the people from Chaomo left in a speedboat, they transferred to a medium-sized boat prepared in advance at a transfer station not far away, and then went south all the way to this deserted island they had already marked.

After the end of the world, people built shelters on land one after another. The ships on the sea were unmaintained. Coupled with the attacks of various mutant creatures, almost no one used them, and the shipbuilding industry was completely abandoned.Even Jingting City can't gather enough strength to search for them at sea in a short period of time.

Chao Mo had planned to hide on the island from the very beginning. He took over those ships at the beginning of the end of the world and sent special personnel to take care of them all the time.

Knowing that Xia Xi and his party would go to the island today, a large ship stopped at the agreed port early and waited to pick them up.By the way, exchange needed supplies on the way.

The person leading the team is Gu Ming.He got along well with the black crow before, and this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to pick him up.However, compared to the escape before the separation, he looks a lot more stable now.Seeing people coming, he didn't rush forward like Erha. Instead, he first explained a few words to the companion who transported the supplies, and then led a few people to greet him: "Mr. Heiya has really worked hard this trip. Xiang Lei Tell me, this time I was able to successfully get the clover mother plant, thanks to your arrangement."

"It's because everyone cooperated well." Xia Xi didn't want to take the credit, for him the credit was not as real as the little cake.

"Everyone cooperates well because of your good command. Don't be humble, Mr. Black Crow. You are our benefactor of Zhuguang. Whether you join Zhuguang or not, we will always treat you as a brother." Gu Ming greeted He looked at the young people behind him: "Don't be dazed, arrange for everyone to board the boat. After running for so long, everyone must be tired and hungry. There are ready meals on the boat, so let's stuff our bellies first."

Xia Xi noticed that the people behind Gu Ming were all unfamiliar faces, and they looked younger, so she looked at Gu Ming with a questioning expression in her eyes: "Who are these people?"

"Oh, they are all young people from Tianming City, and they don't want to stay in the shelter after awakening their abilities." Gu Ming said, "Manpower is needed for the construction of the island, so Chaomo brought them here."

"My name is Ali." One of the young people eagerly leaned forward and looked at Xia Xi with admiration: "I remember you, Mr. Black Crow, you saved our shelter twice, and you are our benefactor. I especially admire you , I hope to be as powerful as you in the future, if I die in the last days, can you also make me your skeleton?"

"Cough." Xia Xi rubbed his nose, a little uncomfortable with this kind of enthusiasm. He has tasted the stars and the moon, and he has also tried ups and downs. He can handle a grand banquet gracefully, and he can also talk under torture. Laugh freely.

Only when he is appreciated, admired and loved by others, he will show a kind of embarrassment at a loss. At this time, he who is usually eloquent, even stumbles when he says a word: "It can be possible...but I'm not special. Hurry up, you'd better live well."

Shi Yinhe and the few employees they brought were all human beings without supernatural powers. They ran around in fear for a day and a night, and they still didn't get water to eat. They had reached their limit at the moment.As soon as he heard that there was food, his eyes immediately reflected, and he quickly followed the team members who chased the light onto the boat.

Xia Xi and Jing Lanhe boarded the boat, followed by 51 androids.

Although Gu Ming seemed to be calm on the surface, he still couldn't suppress his talkative nature, especially when he saw the legendary artificial humans, he immediately became energetic: "These are the artificial humans mentioned in your newsletter? I heard that this is High-tech, this time the doctor really lost a lot, lost the clover, and lost so many artificial humans. Let the brothers of our research institute dismantle two, maybe we can learn their technology. At that time, we will also produce With an army of thousands of artificial humans, next time Sheng Bai comes to kill us, we won't be afraid of him anymore."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Xia Xi quietly poured cold water on Gu Ming: "I have no objection to dismantling artificial humans for research, but to put it bluntly, it is to obliterate human consciousness, turn them into machines, and arm their bodies with various materials. Then insert the spar to enhance the ability."

"Live, made by a living person?" Gu Ming was shocked: "This thing is made of a living person? Isn't it too crazy?"

"Well," Xia Xi recalled the appearance of this artificial man begging himself to erase his consciousness when they met for the first time: "It's quite insane."

Xia Xi and his party ate on the boat and returned to their respective rooms to rest.Xia Xi found that Gu Ming was quite considerate, and brought the change of clothes and white cloak he often wore at the base, as well as the rack that Little Crow liked the most.

Xia Xi loves to be clean, so she immediately changed her clothes.After touching the shelf of the little crow, he put it away again.

He had something on his mind, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He sat in the room in a daze with the Huandie sample in his arms.

Xia Xi was very curious, what kind of experience is the near-death illusion?What exactly did Jing Lan go through at that time.Numerous questions were entangled in her mind, Xia Xi looked at the sample box, and even wanted to open the box and try to touch the butterfly.

This scene happened to be bumped into by Jing Lan who rushed over: "What are you doing?"

Xia Xi withdrew his hand, put the sample of Huandie behind him, and asked guiltily, "Why did you come in without knocking?"

"I knocked several times, but you didn't answer, so I came in because I was worried." Jing Lan gave Xia Xi a meaningful look, and said in a fearful tone, "Fortunately, I came in."

At this glance, Xia Xi felt that Jing Lan had seen through him, and Jing Lan could always guess his thoughts at the first time.But Xia Xi didn't want to admit that he would do such a stupid thing, his brain twitched, and he opened his mouth to explain: "I didn't want to test the power of Huandie by myself."

After speaking to Shang Jinglan with a playful smile, I realized that what I said just now is not equivalent to 300 taels of silver here.

Xia Xi pulled away the quilt next to her, wrapped herself in it, and wrapped her head together: "I'm sleepy."

"Then go to sleep." Jing Lan didn't say anything, raised his hand to pick up the Huandie sample, and put it in his pocket: "This thing is dangerous, I will keep it for you."

When Jing Lan walked out, she felt that the corner of her clothes was being pulled.He lowered his head and found that Xia Xi was well covered in the cup, and it was a bone hand that pulled him.

Jing Lan sat back on the bed with some amusement: "What's the matter?"

"I can't sleep, you can talk to me for a while." Xia Xi, who said that she was sleepy a second ago, said capriciously.

"Okay." Jing Lan knew that it was rare for Xia Xi to come forward like this, which meant that he had indeed encountered a problem that he couldn't think about.It was like a kitten that came up to beg for comfort on its own initiative, rubbing its tail against its own legs.

At this time, if you want to lick the cat, you have to dress up and pretend to be stupid. If you expose the other party, you will become angry from embarrassment. Not only can you not touch it, you will have to be bitten.

Jing Lan also lay on the bed, hugged Xia Xi through the quilt, and gently stroked his back.

"What did you see in the illusion of the Styx Illusionary Butterfly?" Xia Xi's muffled voice came from under the quilt.

Jing Lan's hands paused, and secretly sighed that what should come is still coming: "There are many, but they are all over. As long as you survive, this thing will not cause substantial harm to people's bodies."

"How can this pass? If it's a physical injury, Chaomo can heal you, but the mental injury, even if you are reborn, you can't forget it." Xia Xi said. "It will keep repeating in your mind, playing back in your dreams, and you can remember it when you close your eyes."

Just like myself back then.

Jing Lan finally couldn't laugh anymore: "Yeah, even when I open my eyes, I still remember that when I saw everything, I thought it was a weapon used to kill me, and everyone I saw seemed to know Betrayed me in the next second, let me die with a hideous face."

Xia Xi in the quilt shivered slightly, then poked her head out from under the quilt, the corners of her eyes were a little red: "Is it so serious?"

Jing Lan pressed her forehead against Xia Xi's, closed her eyes, and revealed her fragile side for the first time: "When I was reborn, I could barely sleep and had to work hard to stay awake. It's much better now. With you by my side Sometimes, I can sleep well. I often think, if after death, I can become your skeleton and be carried by your side forever, then death does not seem to be a particularly terrible thing."

"I don't need skeletons, I want you to live." Xia Xi said.

"Then I'll live." Jing Lan said, "But don't touch this sample. I'll tell you whatever you ask, okay?"

"I'm not afraid, I won't get hurt, I won't hurt, and it's hard to kill. I used to sleep in the cemetery for a while, chatting with people whose consciousness has not dissipated every day." Xia Xi was talking about him When I was in Wuer Continent, because I had no place to live and had to avoid hunting, I turned into a skeleton and lay in a mass grave with a pile of corpses.

Jing Lan looked at Xia Xi's unwillingness to give up, so he had to give him some hard advice: "It's not that simple, Huandie will reflect the fear in your heart. The more you are afraid of something, the more it will appear. For example, if you are afraid Insects, you may see yourself surrounded by an overwhelming number of insects, big and small, flying, flightless, soft, hard, with more legs and less legs, all kinds. They come from You crawled, bit, and tried to drill into your body..."

"Hey!" Xia Xi just listened to the description and was about to vomit. He couldn't think of testing the phantom butterfly sample any more. He pushed Jing Lan away, opened the door and rushed to the deck to get some fresh air—he was afraid to stay in the room again. I really can't help but spit it out.

Gu Ming was on the deck. Seeing Xia Xi running over with a pale face, he immediately asked, "What's wrong? Are you seasick? The wind and waves here are a bit strong. I have medicine for seasickness. Do you want to take two pills?"

Xia Xi leaned on the railing and waved his hands weakly. How could he be seasick as a necromancer.She was simply intimidated by Jing Lan's description.

"I'm fine, but the room is too stuffy, I want to come out to get some fresh air. You are busy with your work, don't worry about me."

Gu Ming: "Well, be careful, sometimes some powerful mutant creatures will appear in the sea. Be careful not to be dragged into the sea by them..."

"Don't worry, even if I fall into the sea, my skeleton can still catch me." Xia Xi didn't pay attention to the mutated creatures in the ocean at all.Are there any creatures more terrifying than bugs in this world?Not anymore.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the hull of the ship shook violently, and a huge wave surged from one side, as if it was about to rush to the sky. Their boat was like a leaf, being rushed back and forth by the rushing water.

The water waves fell, revealing a giant over [-] meters high, and this was only the part of it above the water.It was so big that Xia Xi couldn't identify its species at a glance, but felt that a mountain seemed to appear out of nowhere in front of him.

There is a strong coercion in the terrifying power fluctuation.Drip, drop, drop!

The detection radar on the ship belatedly beeped.The ability detection pointer crossed the fifth-level scale, turned towards the sixth-level scale, and finally stopped at a position short of one grid.

The hill-like sea monster opened its mouth, and the big red mouth seemed to be the gate of hell that opened suddenly, inside which were densely lined with fangs tens of meters long, layer by layer, like an endless mountain of knives.

This is... a shark?

Xia Xi remembered a description given by the other party when the sea slug was interrogated.

"We went ashore to escape for our lives."

"It's a mutant giant sea shark."

"It almost ate up this sea area. Its body swelled up and was bigger than the entire pier. It could swallow half of the port in one mouth."

Although it is thousands of kilometers away from their old base.But Xia Xi believes that there is a high probability that there will only be one sea shark of this size and level at this stage.

So now this big brother sea shark is going to eat up a piece of sea area and plan to change to another place for the banquet?
