Ancient Gene [End Times]

Qin An didn't bother with him, and turned back to the car.

There is no need to inquire about the rest of the matter. Qiu Ling hadn't felt the existence of the jade plaque at first, and she still had doubts about the authenticity of the whole matter.If Yupai really established a connection with someone, they don't have time to persuade people from another force to abandon everything and leave with them.

In fact, it would be a good thing for Qiuling and the team if Yupai found someone who could establish a relationship.

The truth of the matter will not be revealed until two hours later.

"That person didn't lie." Qin An, who sat in the co-pilot, said, "They do have a strange jade card in their hands. The question is why Qiu Ling can't feel its existence."

Tiangui was thoughtful, and said in a probing tone: "Is it possible... It's not the jade token we're looking for at all. There are so many treasures in the world, maybe it's other jades with special abilities. Maybe. I heard the old man say that things like jade have spirituality, and it is not impossible for other jade to appear in this troubled world."

"From ancient times to the present, any kind of treasure is possible." Qiu Ling said, "But we are in a hurry to find Shenmo Guyu, let alone have a goal, even if it is a general idea, there is no information at all. We're all going to check it out. It's so important."

"Shenmo Ancient Jade... This name is quite secondary, and the homonym is 'what ancient jade'." Qin An laughed.

"According to legend, the family that first owned this piece of jade was surnamed God, and the last patriarch of the family who bestowed the power on these jades was named Mo. Later, it has been passed down to this day, and it is simply called Shenmo Ancient Jade." Qiu Ling explained. After a while, he said again, "Ghost knows how this legend came about. The ancestors said so, so we believe it."

"I do remember that the myths and legends of ancient and modern China and foreign countries seem to have a lot in common." Tiangui said.

"Because the history they have experienced is similar." Qiu Ling said, "Even in a considerable part of the region, there are intersections in history. In many cases, they just tell the same story with a different name. There is a story about ghosts and gods. The big source is to scare them with things that science cannot explain, and they come up with something that can perfectly explain unknown things, filling their ignorance. So it has become some bizarre legends passed down from generation to generation."

"Then are there really ghosts and gods in this world?" In Qin An's eyes, Qiu Ling should be the most magical person, and that family should also be a master of metaphysics.From Qiu Ling's mouth, hearing the words denying the ancient legends is as inconceivable as hearing a devout religious believer denying the god in his mouth.

"Yes, but it's not the same as in the traditional sense." Qiu Ling thought for a while, then smiled, "By the way, for example, do you know when Christianity was first introduced into China?"

"Republic of China?" Qin An was not sure.

"It was the ninth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty." Qiu Ling said, "But to be precise, it should be a branch of Christianity called Nestorianism. They don't recognize the Virgin Mary and require believers to be vegetarian, but the scriptures and stories that have been passed down, It’s the ones of Jehovah and Jesus, but the translated names are different. Doesn’t it sound unbelievable?”

"So?" Qin An asked.

"So, some coincidences in history may not be true coincidences. The ancient times of the world are not as closed as we imagined. We only know that the kingdoms of all nations came to court in the ancient Tang Dynasty, and God knows thousands or even tens of thousands of years earlier. What kind of people are on the planet. The history we know is only the history after the appearance of writing, and before that, it has been changed beyond recognition by word of mouth in the long river of history."

The car drove out of the outskirts of Tuquan County, and met He Siming and others first.

After parking the car and opening the door, several people got into the car and asked about the situation first.

"We will go to the transaction in two hours. Let's find a place to rest first. But let's make preparations first, maybe they will come over to test our reality." Qin An yawned.

"Take a break, there are still two hours." He Siming said.

"En." Qin An responded, watched the car turn around, and went straight to the resting place of the mutated animals not far away.

Ke Chenguang and the others are nearby.

He Siming asked him to lean on his shoulder, squinted for a while, and asked Zhaobatian to tell him what happened just now through the walkie-talkie.

The walkie-talkie is usually turned off. In most cases, as long as it is not necessary for all members to communicate with each other at any time, the walkie-talkie will not be turned on, because there is a human walkie-talkie like Qin An, which can support three team members to talk to each other at the same time. If you eat enough and sleep enough, you can always stand by without charging, which is much more convenient than a walkie-talkie.

Zhan Batian directly played the recording of the situation just now through the Bluetooth headset of the walkie-talkie for He Siming to listen to.This way, Qin An will not be disturbed, and the situation can be understood as soon as possible.

He Siming was thinking a little bit, but Qin An was actually thinking about something too.But he was still in the car at this time, and he was not in a hurry to talk about it, so he took advantage of this time to close his eyes and rest for a while.

When you trade you don't know what to expect.Even if nothing happened, he would have to take a break every now and then after almost two days and two nights of traveling.Not only did he have to support the energy consumed by the mutation, but he also had to support the energy consumed by using the jade token.In fact, the pressure is not small.

When we got to the place, it took only 5 minutes before and after.Before He Siming was willing to call Qin An, Qin An raised his head and got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, everyone gathered together, and then they talked about the situation just now.

It is now certain that they have a jade card with a strange ability in their hands, and it is very likely that it is the jade card they are looking for.So if the deal can go ahead, there are two questions.

First, whether the price proposed by the other party during the transaction is acceptable to them, and what to do if it exceeds the range they can bear.It is impossible to make an IOU and pay it back after arriving in the Northeast.

The second is the superhuman who traded with them.Since he is a super human being, it is quite easy to develop a force that belongs to him in this apocalypse.From the looks of it, it doesn't look like a force in the county.

The current situation of Qin An and others is no longer suitable for turning to the military, and they are even avoiding the military themselves.If the other party really came to the siege prepared for them by those people from the Yilu Gang when they left Hanzhong, it would take some effort for them to get rid of it.

These two problems are the primary problems to be solved now, and there is no good way to solve this problem.

"Actually, we don't have to put this jade tablet in our pockets." Qiu Ling thought again and again before saying, "We just need to prove whether this piece of jade exists, and we'd better find out who owns this piece of jade." .As long as it proves the existence of this piece of jade, even if we miss it, it will not be regarded as nothing. It will be easier for us to do things than it is now if you control us and enter Beijing in the future.”

It's good to be able to take away the jade token, but even if you can't take it away, it's not completely useless to confirm its existence.

Taking ten thousand steps back, after them, there is still Qi Xiu.As the patriarch who has been shouldering the mission of finding jade tokens for generations, it is much easier than the few of them to find jade tokens.

"So, we must at least meet this so-called jade with special abilities." Qin An said.

"It's much easier to think about things this way." He Siming nodded and said, "Let's take a short break."

Tian Gui said to Bai Yu: "Let's light a fire and prepare some food. Find an abandoned house and light a small fire inside. Pay attention to controlling the fire."

The team hadn't lighted a fire for the past two days. With the current oxygen concentration, it would develop into an explosion at some point.

"clear."

Everyone also needs a bite of hot food to boost their morale.

There is plenty of meat, and the unlimited supply of vegetables can also be achieved. The first thing everyone should do right now is to rest.Wait for the transaction after two hours.

They didn't send anyone over to test it out, maybe someone came over to check it out, but after seeing the mutated animal from a distance, they basically understood their overall strength.

Qin An was pushed to sleep in a corner by He Siming. He didn't wake up Qin An until 10 minutes before the time was up, and ate a few tender steaks that were still warm and some warm vegetable soup.

This is not a rare thing, but for the current team, it is very extravagant.

"We'll follow the old plan for a while, and we'll go there with our equipment. This time, Qiu Ling will communicate with them, and the walkie-talkie must be turned on, and Jubatian will communicate with us at any time. If there are special circumstances, we will evacuate to the edge first, Siming , you are still in the original part, waiting for the opportunity to act!" Tiangui said.

Solanum nigrum said: "Each of you contains a leaf and a ginseng fruit. Although there is no specific data on the effect of ginseng fruit, it should be useful if you swallow one when you are seriously injured."

Even if they don't know what will happen, they have to be prepared first.Only those who are prepared anytime and anywhere will be more confident to go further in this last days.

Lie Yan distributed the leaves and ginseng fruit to everyone, and she found that the ginseng fruit could be preserved for a long time.She fed a bead from a mutant animal to the ginseng on her body, and at that moment she could feel the joy and satisfaction of the ginseng plant.

Plant mutants are different from other mutants, they are precisely parasitized by plants.It's just that she can direct the parasitic plants to make them work for me.

Sitting in the car again, Qin An had already adjusted his state.

Poke the Dominating Sky placed in front, making it dangle like a tumbler: "Eggy, what do you think is our chance of success this time?"

"If you set the goal of success to obtain a jade card, the probability of your success is no more than 23%, and the probability of determining whether you have a jade card is 72%." Zhubatian gave a wave of data calculated by its system.

"It should be us, pay attention to the wording." Qin An poked again, but this time Batian didn't reply.

Tian Gui pressed the ginseng leaves under his tongue and checked the weapons on his body.

"It's not suitable to open a wooden warehouse now." Qin An said, "With such an oxygen content, if a small explosion occurs, we will hurt ourselves first."

"It depends on the situation. If the opponent fires first, we always have to fight back. But we also have an advantage, at least the opponent does not have the wooden warehouse method like us."

"Could the matter be so serious?" Qin An asked with some hesitation.

"Even if it doesn't happen, we have to be mentally prepared." Tiangui said, "All of you will mutate in a while, so be careful."

"Even if it doesn't happen, we have to be mentally prepared." Tiangui said, "All of you will mutate in a while, so be careful."

Qin An's bulletproof clothing had already been taken off and put in the trunk for trading.In this world, the value of a military body armor may be higher than the value of a wooden warehouse.

After all, people spend most of their time fighting against those monsters outside. Protecting the torso with body armor can greatly reduce the risk of death.

"clear."

Qin An also became serious.

This time, no matter whether it goes well or not, they must be fully prepared.

Come over again, the sky is already bright.The sun awakens the breathing of the grass and trees, and the oxygen content in the air slowly rises again.

Qin An pressed down the car window and took a breath of the outside air. The high concentration of oxygen was inhaled into his lungs, and he felt his mind cleared up.

However, almost only mutants can live so freely under such a high concentration of oxygen. If a normal person is here, he will be drunk within an hour.

This time, at the main entrance of the commercial building, a row of people stood waiting for Qin An and others to arrive.

Qin An and Qiu Ling got out of the car, leaving only Tian Gui sitting in the car to observe the surrounding situation with Zhuo Batian.

The two walked over, Qin An said first, "How are you thinking?"

The man who had spoken to them earlier was standing beside what appeared to be a leader.

The leader was actually wearing a business suit, looking spotless, a touch of cleanliness that is rare in the last days.

"You guys want to buy jade tokens?" the man in the suit asked.

"That's right, in order to show our sincerity, we brought all the things we traded. Of course, the premise is that you also show us whether the things are what we need."

"How do you make sure that something is what you want? If you want us to prove that Yu has superpowers, we can't do it." The man in the suit said.

"Whether the deal is successful or not, we will give you a body armor, how about it? The goods in our hands are all specially supplied by the army. At least you can't buy them from the army," Qin An said.

The man in the suit was silent for a while, and said: "Our boss has been waiting for a long time, and he is on the top floor now. He wants to talk to you face to face."

Qin An and Qiu Ling looked at each other.Qiu Ling smiled and said, "We have a brother in the car."

"After the sun comes out, it won't be very comfortable outside. There is a parking lot underground here, and the monitoring is still in use. You can drive the car in, and I will take you to the monitoring room. We can trade in the monitoring room, and you can see it at any time. See what happened to that brother."

If they were afraid, they wouldn't come here, not to mention, they didn't have backhands.

Qin An, together with Qiu Ling, followed the man in the suit into the commercial building.

Only the man in the suit came in with the two of them, and the others were still guarding the door.

The interior of the commercial building is fairly clean, but it looks rather bleak.

Walking in, Qin An raised his head and saw a lot of hydrogen balloons piled up at the top and center of the commercial building.

That number is so large that it almost covers the fifth layer.

Qin An frowned slightly, but the man in the suit smiled and explained: "Yesterday was the boss's birthday, and it was also the first birthday after the chaos in the world. The boss likes these childlike things, and here is the condition to do this. Now look It’s very beautiful, and it looked even better yesterday. Those hydrogen balloons were put up from the first floor, and one piece of each color flew up, just like before.”

Playful?This description is really strange.

Qin An glanced back at Qiu Ling, then nodded to the man in the suit. The three of them stepped on the stairs all the way to the top floor.

When we reached the fifth floor, there were finally a few people, but they were all dressed in black suits, standing there regularly with their hands behind their backs, and they were not easy to mess with.

"This way please." The man in the suit politely invited him to a room to the east.This room was obviously remodeled from a former merchant's house. It was surrounded by iron sheets similar to those used in containers, painted with silver paint, and the color looked a bit depressing.

In the innermost part, there is a display screen.

On the screen, there is a boy sitting in a wheelchair looking at a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.

The little boy was wearing a peaked cap, and lowered his head to cover his eyes, but his lips were curled up in a smile, showing a few small white teeth, looking inexplicably strange.

"What about the face-to-face deal?" Qin An frowned.

The little boy looked up, revealing a pair of narrow eyes.The eyes were not big, the pupils were pitch-black, but there was a bit of light that didn't match their age.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." The boy's voice was as immature as his appearance, but the words he said carried a sarcastic taste.

Qin An frowned, no matter how he looked at him, he felt uncomfortable.

It was Qiu Ling who spoke first, "Are you the boss they talk about?"

"It's me, I'm surprised, I am so young, but I can command so many of them." The little boy became more energetic, and said in a somewhat showy tone, "Is this a very miraculous thing? I I think so too. I can't wait to appreciate your surprised expressions. You know, in the eyes of normal people, how can a young person like me lead so many people! Hehehehe..."

If he was a few years older, Qin An could be very sure that they met a psychopath.

Of course, in this world, maybe the life of the insane can be better.

Qiu Ling said: "I really want to continue hearing about your great achievements, but I think, let's continue our transaction, if you really want to continue this transaction."

Hearing what the little boy said, Qin An didn't feel anything yet, but after hearing Qiu Ling's words, Qin An suddenly realized.The little boy's habit of forming words is a bit strange, not like the way Chinese people are used to forming words.And Qiu Ling followed the tone of the little boy, and the words she said also had a bit of an interpreter's accent.

Just looking at the appearance of this little boy, Qin An can be sure that this little boy is a Chinese of pure blood.Because the appearance of a person is related to the water and soil of the region, not to mention Westerners, even Japanese or Koreans, all have obvious characteristics and are easy to distinguish.

Of course, the possibility that he spent his childhood abroad and only returned to China in recent years cannot be ruled out.

"Of course, but what I'm interested in is not such a pediatric thing as the wooden warehouse." The boy smiled, and a pop-up window suddenly popped up on the left side of the screen. The content in the pop-up window was the outside of the room, the patio Those hundreds of hydrogen balloons that appeared above, "Tell me, do they look good?"

Qin An has already refused to speak, Qiu Ling is a bit of a weird person, seeing this at this time, she also doesn't know how to answer.Frowning, he could only answer: "It's very beautiful."

"Of course, I designed this myself. It's just that such a beauty can't last forever, right? It's like money. It really belongs to you only when you spend it. If you keep it in your pocket, it will always be just useless waste paper. So, If you want to keep this beauty, you have to destroy it with your own hands."

In the next second, all the hydrogen balloons on the screen exploded one by one.

Qin An's mutated ears listened to the outside. This scene was broadcast live, and the sound of balloons bursting really came from outside.

Qin An's face changed slightly: "You want to light this place!"

There is a lot of hydrogen in the hydrogen balloon, and after the end of the world, the oxygen content in the air is almost terrifying.When hydrogen and oxygen meet together, only one spark is needed at this time to trigger a powerful explosion.

"Don't think of me so naively. Boy, a firecracker is nothing to look at." The little boy shook his head, with an almost perverted playful smile on his face, and said in a tone of "quick praise me", "I sent For you, it is a huge firecracker battle!"

All the hydrogen balloons exploded, and the wreckage of the balloons fell down one after another, revealing a cone-shaped unknown object hanging above the well that day.

"Bomb?" Qin An's face changed slightly.

"You can understand it this way. But the power of such a bomb is enough to raze an area with a diameter of two kilometers to the ground. Guess how far you can run the moment I detonate it? Of course, a friendly reminder It's better not to leave, because if I press the detonation button, its departure time is only 0.01 seconds. I believe that even you, as a mutant, can't survive in this situation, can you? ?”

Qiu Ling immediately stood in front of Qin An, frowned at the boy and said, "I don't think we have any grudges."

Qin An knew Qiu Ling's intentions, and while Qiu Ling stood in front of him, he secretly contacted Tian Gui to inform him of the situation upstairs.

Tiangui didn't rush to take action, but hugged Batian in his arms, put one hand under his body, and told Batian the matter with the password, and let Batian pass through the system to help him think of a solution.

The little boy smiled and said: "Don't say that, we have a lot of grievances. You should be wondering why I treat you like this. I originally wanted you to guess, but I am so happy, so I decided to tell you You are all familiar with the Yilu Gang, right? I just happen to be the leader of the Yilu Gang. You say it’s a coincidence. You must also be surprised why the leader of your arch enemy, the Yilu Gang, is so young one person."
