Ancient Gene [End Times]

They obviously had other meanings in what they said, but they only said half of what they said, and other outsiders wanted to persuade them to make peace, but they didn't know where to intervene.

But obviously, Qi Yu wanted to make a big decision, and Qiu Ling was preventing it.And what Qi Yi wants to do is related to the end of the world.

Lin Nuan leaned on the sofa, and waited for the siblings to quarrel.After waiting for nothing to say, Lin Nuan said: "I don't understand what you are talking about, but God doesn't give us too many opportunities to argue right now. It's getting late, you two should argue first, and come out with something to argue about. Try to give me an answer tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she was about to go upstairs, Qi Xi said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. Xiaoling has been thinking a lot since she was a child, and she's used to bickering with me. Actually, the things I gave you were obtained from our forbidden area. It's just that the things there are complicated. , I can’t fully understand it on my own. Our previous patriarchs will describe what we know in the forbidden area for future generations to understand. At the same time, the things to interpret those contents are all in the heads of every patriarch.”

Qi Xi pointed to his own head: "Actually, my grandfather felt something was wrong decades ago. He realized something in the forbidden area and came out to do something. It is unknown what he did. It’s just that after that, the disaster ended, and my grandfather died. At that time, my mother was still young, and hurriedly took over the family. Some things I didn’t know, and I didn’t know anything about it afterwards.”

"Then...do you know what's going on in this last world?" He Siming said, "Since this is the sixth mass extinction, there must be some reason for it."

This time Qi Xi didn't hide it, and thought about it: "I don't know how long our family has been passed down, and I don't know if we have encountered the catastrophe in the past. It's just that the legend of this catastrophe has been circulating in the family, especially It is between the patriarchs. You should be very familiar with these 12 yuan jade cards. From our understanding, these twelve divine ink jades are magic weapons to suppress this catastrophe. Every once in a while, I don’t know what triggers it , will cause catastrophe, and the power of this jade tablet will be suppressed."

Qin An looked at the others and asked with some doubts, "Is it because the jade is broken?"

Didn't it mean that a piece of jade was shattered, and just a little shattered powder made that kind of reagent that can quickly mutate people?Qin An and He Siming are both beneficiaries.

"This is one of the reasons." Qi Xi's eyes darkened, "It is also our family's negligence. Many jade cards have not been activated for a long time, so they are immersed in it. If they sleep for too long, the energy contained in the jade itself will be destroyed. The seal is deeper. At this time, catastrophe is approaching, and there is no way for the jade tablet to suppress it."

"Does that mean that when all the jade tokens are collected, the mutated animals outside will stop evolving and everything will start to recover?" He Siming said.

Qi Xi smiled helplessly: "This is about to enter the forbidden area to find the answer."

Qiu Ling sneered: "If you can't find the answer, how can others find it."

"This catastrophe itself has no end, but human beings can become stronger. What I can do on my own is limited. In the forbidden area, there is a way for more people to survive. Isn't it?" Qi Xi said.

"Don't you find it ridiculous that the hope of all mankind is pinned in such a dilapidated place?" Qiu Ling looked directly at Qi Yu.

Qi Xi understood that even ten cows would not be able to bring back what Qiu Ling had decided on.

This kind of thing has to be solved.

"Don't you miss home?" Qi Xi asked.

Qiu Ling looked away and didn't speak.

Qi Xi smiled and said, "Since you left, Uncle Hao Nian hasn't slept much."

"You don't need to use them to suppress me, I don't have a long heart, and I can't listen to it." Qiu Ling stood up and took two steps outside: "I can't control what you want to do, but I really want to see other people. , I will abide by the family rules."

Qiu Ling went upstairs and went back to her room.

Xiao Sun was a little embarrassed to look left and right, but seeing Qi Xiu nodded slightly, he also ran upstairs.

"Family rules?" Qin An looked at Qi Xiu.

Qi Xiu said: "It's not important. Looking at it now, we are not in a hurry to go to Beijing. How about going to my house for a while?"

"It doesn't matter where you go, I really care about Qiuling's attitude." Tian Gui said, "After getting along for so long, we know Qiuling better than you. It's not someone who makes trouble out of no reason. If it's something else, I won't ask you if you don't tell me. It's just that you know the current situation, whether there are any serious consequences in it. "

He asked this question, and Qi Yu has always answered every question, but this time it was rare that he did not respond positively, but said: "Those are not important anymore. After all, I am the patriarch. Clan rules and clansmen must abide by them, but I don't." Same. So take it easy."

He didn't say it clearly, so he didn't intend to say it.The ghost stopped talking, Qin An thought about the appearance of Qiuling and Xiaosun, and said, "Is that because we went there, what's wrong with you? It should only have something to do with you that can make Qiuling care so much." Something happened."

Qi Xi praised: "You are very smart."

Qin An said: "I don't want to force you to tell anything. Everyone has some secrets. It's just that we don't want to harm you. Qiu Ling and Sun Quan are our partners. You are their relatives, and we treat you as yours." are friends."

There were many things and misunderstandings between Qiu Ling and Qiu Ling, but after getting along for a long time, it became clear that Qiu Ling didn't have any malicious intentions.So when facing the equally mysterious Qi Xian, Qin An was still willing to give his companions respect and trust.

These words sounded sincere, Qi Xiu could also feel Qin An's sincerity.Moved in my heart, I just said: "This is a good thing. It's just that there are some things that are different. I invite you to my house as a guest. It is from my personal standpoint. Some things cannot be told to you because of the rules of our family. From a different perspective. In this world, everyone has rules that must be followed. It doesn’t make sense, but it’s natural. I can’t say it, and the same is true for Xiaoling.”

This is cloudy, and it is more curious to say than not to say.

Lin Nuan said, "I'm not in good health, so I can't go there. But it's the same as taking Zhubatian there. If this is the case, why don't we divide into two groups? I'll go to Beijing first to have a look, and wait Come back."

"No," Tian Gui immediately refused, "The situation in Beijing is complicated. We all have to worry about a lot of things when we go with you. If we separate, we don't know how much trouble there will be."

"If the people who went there come back properly, then it doesn't matter what I meet in Beijing," Lin Nuan thought about it, "it's too late to go to Beijing now, if we delay for another month or two, we won't even have the most basic choice." There is no room left. The government is running out of patience, and I have come here again and again, but I have not followed. If they really annoy me, I have no good fruit to eat. It is better to go low-key and find out now."

"Then it's better to enter Beijing together, and talk about going out after we gain a firm foothold." Tian Gui frowned.

It was not easy for them to get home for a few days to live a peaceful life, and of course they had to be steady and steady in the following days.This hastily divided the troops into two groups. If he encountered difficulties and did not have enough manpower, it would be a great blow to him.

"It's only been a few days of full food, and you've even eaten your brain?" Lin Nuan glanced at Tian Gui and said, "You really think you can start a small stove like you are now after you've arrived in Beijing? Go to Qi Xi's place." The matter is very important. When we first arrived in Beijing, we didn’t even know the camp. Who would you know and plan? Even if you knew who you could be with, who would you be able to control? Even if it’s not a camp It is a good thing for Cypriots to come in, but if foreigners with malicious intentions come in, have you thought about the consequences?"

Lin Nuan was born with such a temper, and he didn't leave any room for training his nephew.

The old aunt gave Tiangui a pause, and then said: "Then whoever goes and who stays is suitable?"

"All those with a higher degree of mutation should go. Leave a few to accompany me to Beijing. After entering Beijing, the degree of mutation is not important." Lin Nuan said.

"What about me?" said the ghost.

"You go along with me. The soldiers are for nothing? Don't hang around me all day." Lin Nuan turned and looked at Qi Xi, "I will continue to study the things you left behind, tell me when you plan to take them away Say, I'll get things ready first. The next time we meet, we'll be in Beijing."

"After two days, I also need some time to rest." Qi Xi agreed with this decision, and said, "My home is in Linhai, Zhejiang, which almost spans half of China. I have thought about it, we can start from The location in Dalian will go back by water. From the perspective of the distance, it should be much faster."

"But in the sea, there should be a lot of huge mutant animals." Qin An said, "Before the end of the world, the largest creature in the sea was several times the largest creature on land. Now it must be more terrifying after it mutates."

"That's why I brought you people with the strongest mutation degree back together." Qi Xi smiled, "Besides, the mutation of animals is not too exaggerated now, you need to be more exposed to combat in various environments gone."

Underwater combat they have not touched yet.Given that their overall strength is now superior to mutant animals, it is indeed a good way to train more.

"Then it's decided like this?" Qin An said, "We will set off in two days."

Bao Xinyu said: "Shall I go together?"

Lin Nuan said: "Except for Tian Zhi, the other special forces should stay. The rest of you will follow. By the way, Xiao Hai is a mutated aquatic mammal, and is also suitable for underwater combat. Let's go with him. You guys It is not suitable for too many people, and it is easy to attract attention. But the boat problem needs to be solved by yourself. There should be a lot of boats on the beach, but I don’t know how many intact boats are left.”

The special forces looked at each other in blank dismay, did they stop playing?

In this way, the ghost can rest assured.Although the degree of mutation of the special forces is not as high as that of Qin An and the others, they have quite a lot of combat experience, and the tacit understanding between them is also very strong.They protect Lin Nuan, so Tian Gui can rest assured.

This trip is of great importance, and the ghost knows the severity.Although I was worried in my heart, this matter could only be like this.

"Did my grandpa enter Beijing together?" Tian Gui asked.

The old man has lived here all his life.But the problem is that if you enter Beijing rashly, things will be complicated there, and I'm afraid that there will be some problems that will make the old man feel bad.But if you stay here, you don't have any relatives around you and you don't feel at ease.Even if everyone around them has known each other for decades, since Lin Nuan and Tian Gui are not around, there is no guarantee that they will bully the old man alone.

So how to arrange the old man still needs to be worried.

Qi Xiu said: "Don't think about him."

Tiangui's eyebrows twitched.Qi Xian had predicted that the old man's time would not be long, and now he said one more sentence, and the ghost felt uncomfortable.

Lin Nuan naturally heard the deep meaning inside.His eyes dimmed a little, and he said: "I know. But... I have to leave in two days, is there still time?"

"In time. There is plenty of time." Qi Xi stood up and said, "It's getting late, I haven't slept much in the past two days, it's time to rest. Then where do I live?"

"Let's live upstairs. There is a vacant room just now. Qiuling and the others live here too, so it's convenient for you brothers and sisters to chat." Lin Nuan stood up, "If there is anything you need, feel free to bring it up here, or if you have something to travel with. Tell me what you need to prepare first, let us make preparations. God, your clothes are full of blood, go upstairs and take a good shower, and don't sit around before taking off your clothes."

Then he looked at the others: "All of you rest, too, and get ready to leave in two days. Eat whatever you want in these two days, and tell me what you want to bring with you. This time, you may not be used to walking by water." Well, all I can do is to prepare the conditions for you. This time, with Qi Xi here, you should be able to go back and forth faster. Anyway, no matter what is going on, just think about going on your way. When you go back to Beijing, it will make you feel better. rest for few days."

Qi Yu smiled and said, "There is also an ant nest in Hanzhong waiting for you."

Qin An shuddered: "Is that still unresolved?"

"There are two fragments of jade tokens there." Qi Xiu said, "They were eaten by the queen ant and the female praying mantis respectively. That's why they dominate one side there. The sub-cards that are divided into four must be collected."

"There are two fragments of jade tokens there." Qi Xiu said, "They were eaten by the queen ant and the female praying mantis respectively. That's why they dominate one side there. The sub-cards that are divided into four must be collected."

Qin An thought of the wriggling giant ant queen he saw that day in despair, and shuddered: "Why is it there?"

"There used to be one there, which belonged to the ant queen. Lin Nuan, He Qi, and James Robert each took one of the four fragments of the sub-brand. The one from the ant queen was the fourth one. After He Qi's death, I took the piece of his body away. When I passed by, I saw that the ant nest was about to control the whole of Hanzhong. The large animals in Hanzhong were extinct, and other mutated animals were hiding. Since there is no way to kill the weeds for a while, I will The one on my body was fed to a female praying mantis, so that they could check and balance each other. Then the medicine was sprinkled on the outside of Hanzhong, and they were allowed to do trapped beast fights inside."

No one would have guessed that this was Qi Xi's handwriting.

He Siming frowned and said, "Ants and praying mantises are enough to cause a headache. Wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with them together?"

"That was for you at that time. Go back now, and you will have at least a [-]% chance of destroying them and getting the jade medal." Qi Xi said.

"Only [-]%?" Qin An opened his mouth, somewhat startled.

They still have some confidence in their own mutations. For the time being, their strength is superior to any creature.

It's a little trickier with just pack animals.

But the success rate is only [-]%, isn't it too low?

"This is already very high. They swallowed a fragment, and the energy in the jade tablet will slowly overflow, similar to the two of you who injected the reagent. It's just that the reagent you injected has been processed and refined, and the power is relatively soft They directly bear the domineering energy of the jade card itself. It will make them unable to control the direction of their mutation. This is beneficial to you. You accompany me home this time, and when you come back, your chances of success will increase More than seventy percent. So don't worry."

Qi Xi got up and went upstairs. For Qi Xi, it was a rare time to rest since the end of the world.

It's just that in the face of the end of the world, he can't rest.

Well now, he can finally take a good rest.The burden on my body is too heavy and I am too tired.

Qi Xiu went upstairs, and when he looked up and saw Qiu Ling, he stood at the stairs and looked down at him with his arms around his shoulders.

"I haven't slept yet." Qi Xi smiled.

"You know why I came out from home." Qiu Ling said.

"I know." Qi Xi's voice was very gentle.

"So, I will try some things even if I am a mantis. You can't stop me." Qiu Ling said.

Qi Xiu nodded, smiled and went up the stairs, and stood with Qiu Ling: "You have been like this since you were a child."

"You too. You have never seen it. Although I don't know the secrets of the patriarch, I know that the patriarch will die. If they really threaten you, I will not be soft."

Qi Xi reached out and stroked Qiu Ling's hair, and said helplessly, "Why bother."

"I'll give it back to you, is it worth it?" Qiu Ling turned around and went straight to the bedroom on the third floor.

Qi Xiu sighed, and there were footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was Tiangui.

Qi Xi smiled, but Tiangui said: "I know there are some things you won't tell the truth, but at least you need some hints."

Qi Xiu blinked his eyes, but said with a smile: "The moon is beautiful tonight, it is really precious, let's take a look."

Tian Gui was slightly stunned, with thoughts in his heart, and continued to go up to the third floor.

Qi Xi was not in a hurry to go up, Lin Nuan walked up and nodded to Qi Xi: "I'll go to the laboratory first, do you want to go?"

"No, I have a small matter." Qi Xi said.

"I haven't seen you have a small matter here." Lin Nuan went upstairs past Qi Xi.

Qi Xian watched Lin Nuan disappear on the stairs, his smile remained the same.At this time, footsteps came again, it was the person Qi Xi was waiting for.

The man was leaning on a cane, and his body was fairly strong.

Qi Xi smiled softly, looked over and said softly: "Wait a minute. You've worked hard all these years."

The old man's eyes were wet, he looked carefully at Qi Yu's eyebrows, and nodded again and again: "It's you! It's you! It's been more than 50 years, and it's finally here."

"I'm not in a hurry to take the jade token away, but you've already been liberated. Go." Qi Xi said the word "go", and saw the old man's death energy that was wrapped around him disappear, and his whole body felt relaxed. down.

Qi Xi nodded to him, turned around and went upstairs, back to the room where he was resting.Even if no one leads him, he knows which one is for him.

The old man took out the jade tablet from his chest, tears rolled down his face, but there was a relaxed smile on his face.

Turning back and entering the house, no one knew where the old man's joy came from.

Everyone on the first floor dispersed, and the nanny packed up and got ready to go to bed.

As soon as the light was turned off, the old man came out again.He didn't use crutches, as if his whole body became lighter, and he even changed into a new suit in a good mood. Looking at his radiant face, he didn't know it, but he thought it was his eldest grandson who married his wife today.

The old man opened the gate, the lights were still on in the street outside, and the yard wasn't too dark.

The old man walked up to the weeping willow in a few steps, and touched the rough bark of the weeping willow with his palm, with a particularly bright smile on his face.

"It's finally time."

Feeling the rough touch, the old man still remembered the promise they made half-jokingly when they were young.

"If I die first, Qian'er, you can melt me ​​and bury me in the yard, and then plant a tree on it. After that, I will grow up in our house, so don't worry about it. Where do you want to bury? "

"Fat the trees."

A drop of tear fell from the old man, and the obsession condensed in this life is at this very moment.

A gust of wind blew by, the branches swayed, and in the next second, the two branches stretched slowly and went straight to the old man.

The old man's expression remained the same, without the slightest surprise, allowing the branches to wrap around him gradually, the old man stretched out his hand to hold the jade plaque on his chest that he had worn all his life, and slowly closed his eyes, peacefully, as if falling asleep.

From the window on the third floor, the ghost watched all this quietly.He understood what happened, but he could only watch quietly like this.

Just waiting for his grandpa to be completely wrapped in branches and no longer shadowed.Tian Gui lay on the head of the bed and cried silently.He knew that from then on, he would never see grandpa again.

After a full half an hour, the branches stretched out, pieces of clothes were scattered, and the branches retracted, as if nothing happened.

When the branch returned to its original position and the breeze blew by, the weeping willow swayed more and more, and finally grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Five meters, eight meters, ten meters, it grew bigger and bigger, and the branches stretched out crazily, covering most of the yard in a blink of an eye.

Tiangui raised his head, but he could no longer see the street lights outside, and the tree was still growing wildly, and he didn't know when it would end.

Qin An and He Siming took a bath and lay on the bed. He Siming wanted to get closer while still here, but Qin An couldn't get interested at all, and He Siming didn't make it difficult for him.

"What are you thinking?" He Siming asked.

"Qi Xiu." Qin An was a little weak when he said this.

"Lie on my bed and miss other men?" He Siming raised his eyebrows.

Qin An knew that He Siming was joking with him, Qin An said: "I always feel that something is going to happen."

He Siming smiled and said: "In Qi Xi's words, some things happen naturally. We can't change it and hide it. Let's just lie down and let it go."

"It's really not like what you said." Qin An pulled the quilt and said, "Okay, go to sleep, we will leave in two days, and we will have to wait until we come back again. Cherish it."

"So, don't be too polite about what you want to eat these two days, and save yourself thinking about it all the way after you set off." He Siming tucked Qin An's quilt up and said with a smile.

"You think I'm Bao Xinyu? I'm not that greedy." Qin An closed his eyes and began to breathe evenly.

He Siming kissed Qin An's temple and fell asleep.

Everything in the manor is as usual, but the weeping willow that is still growing wildly is swaying in the wind, and no one has noticed yet.
