Ancient Gene [End Times]

The person in charge of the catering started to prepare the food. There are a lot of ready-made fruits, snacks and some packaged ready-to-eat food. Everyone had a delicious meal.

Two dogs were killed outside, one of them bit Qin An, no one wanted to eat it, but the other dog was close to two tons, enough meat for a long time.

The two bolder men let the blood out with short knives, and then skinned the dog. He Siming looked at Qin An's situation again, and walked around the cold storage twice to make sure there was nothing wrong, so he came here to order Beside a few people picking up dog meat with candles.

The skin on his body was still being peeled, He Siming went to the dog's head, and reached out to touch the dog's mouth.It took a lot of luck to kill such a huge monster with only three bullets.It has only been mutated for a few days now, and such a large mutated animal has appeared. The days to come will be terrifying.

He Siming lifted the skin of the dog's mouth and looked at the teeth inside.

Sure enough, the teeth were much larger than normal dog teeth, and the canines were longer and sharper.He Siming looked at the ratio of the dog's mouth to its head. The mouth is longer than that of a normal dog.

Looking at the limbs, they are also much smaller in proportion, which is why it cannot jump and stand on its hind legs.

He Siming majored in paleontology, and he could tell that this was atavistic evolution only from the places visible to the naked eye.

It stands to reason that biological evolution is a long process, and the main purpose is to be able to better adapt to the surrounding environment.In other words, in most cases, creatures from later epochs should be more perfect than those from past epochs.

But now what is the purpose of evolving backwards?

But one thing is certain, the animals after returning to their ancestors are far superior to the original creatures in terms of combat power and size.

It's a pity that there is not enough time and can't get too much information.

He Siming touched the hidden pocket on his waist, finding the target person is more important now.

Qin An didn't wake up until midnight.

I didn't feel any pain on my body, it was as comfortable as if I had just had a full body massage, and then fell asleep beautifully.

He wanted to reach out to rub his eyes, but his hand was caught: "Dirty hands, don't rub your eyes."

The voice was so familiar, Qin An opened his eyes, blinked, and saw He Siming clearly under the dim light.His facial features are a bit blurred, but he can still be seen.

"How do you feel?" He Siming asked.

Qin An sat up, and He Siming helped him up.

"I'm alright?" Qin An clearly remembered being bitten by the giant dog, and he still remembered the feeling of the teeth piercing through the flesh and breaking the bone.

"It's fine."

Qin An was slightly surprised. Looking closely at He Siming, he vaguely saw the deep meaning of his smile. There are so many people here. Qin An was afraid that there might be some unspeakable secret here, so it was difficult to ask, but he was curious in his heart, so he could only look at He Siming with doubts. .

He Siming took Qin An's hand and wrote two words on the palm of his hand: "Variation".

Qin An's eyes widened a bit. He played games and read novels a lot. These two words were enough for him to understand a lot of things.

Qin An clenched his fist, as if he had become more energetic.

He Siming focused on his fingers, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, the nails stretched by half a centimeter.With his hand in Qin An's, Qin An instantly noticed the change, opened his mouth slightly, and stretched out his hand to carefully touch He Siming's nails.

The elongated nails are slightly narrow and sharp, and when pinched hard, they are very hard.Touch his fingers again, there are some fine fluff on them, and it feels good to the touch.

The lights were dimmed, and only two people knew about the change.

"Try it too." He Siming said.

Qin An looked at his fingers, exerted a little force, and there was a change in his hands, but it wasn't the nails, but the fingers gradually turned blue-gray from the fingertips to the roots. He Siming touched it with his backhand, only to feel that the skin had become very It's rough and feels thick too.

I touched it repeatedly at the fingertips, and it seemed to feel a little like scales.

In the dark, the two touched each other's fingers, which was very strange no matter how they looked.

The people around looked this way, and Qin An also found that the movements of the two were a little ambiguous, so he withdrew his hand, and his fingers gradually returned to normal.

He Siming didn't touch enough, rubbed his fingers, reached out and patted Qin An's shoulder: "Are you hungry?"

After asking such a question, Qin An felt his stomach hurt from hunger: "Is there anything to eat?"

"This is a warehouse for food. There is a lot to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"Is there any hot one?"

"It's cooking over there."

Qin An asked He Siming to pull him up from the sponge on the ground, and He Siming led him to the cooking place.

The vent is open, after all, there are too many people here.But the relative risk is that there is a danger of mutated animals coming in through the vents. Although the vents are blocked by metal sheets, the bite force of the current mutated animals is immeasurable.

Qin An drank two bowls of meat porridge and ate seven or eight chicken legs.After eating, He Siming brought him some fruit, and he also ate it up.

Needless to say, Qin An himself felt that he was eating too much.

After eating, Dongye checked his body again, amazed at the same time, he had never seen such a serious injury healed up so quickly.

There must be an explanation for this matter, and He Siming didn't use it, so Qin An made up a nonsense explanation himself.

"When I went to the community hospital to look for medicine, I saw a mutated Rottweiler, which was a little smaller than the two dogs killed today. I cut off its mouth, and then I saw it with the remaining I ate the corpse with half my mouth, and then the bleeding stopped. I think if I hadn’t been killed at the time, I would have recovered soon. I said before that people may also mutate, maybe it’s because the dog bit me, and I have a similar mutation After all, humans are advanced animals, and mutations are normal."

After hearing this explanation, everyone believed it, and looked at Qin An with envy.

The one who lost the most was Dong Ye. The nurse who came with him before had passed away due to wound infection and excessive blood loss. If she could also mutate, she would not have died.

Qin An had had enough rest, so he guarded the vent and the entrance together. He Siming hadn't slept through the whole day, and now he found someone, and his heart was relieved. He lay down on the mat Qin An had been lying on before, and fell asleep peacefully .

Some outside voices can still be heard, and the outside voices are getting louder and louder.Originally, it was just the howls of some animals, but later mixed with the screams of many human beings.

The long night is always so difficult.

The sunrise outside could not be seen from inside. He Siming asked someone to open the inner door and check at the outer door when he saw the watch showing eight o'clock.

There are relatively few mutated animals during the day, but mutated animals are not afraid of light. It can only be said that most of the mutated animals are nocturnal animals.

It was daylight outside.

Several soldiers formed a small team and went out to check the situation.

There were some small mutated animals in the yard, and the soldiers could deal with them with daggers. He Siming followed them out to have a look. Someone stopped them, so he waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

He knew that he was mutated now, he could feel the changes in his body, at least half of the mutated animals couldn't hurt him.

Look at the fence, he still remembers how Qin An fell from it yesterday.

He Siming took a few run-ups, jumped up with his knees bent, jumped up nearly two meters, grabbed the top of the wall with one hand, and jumped onto the fence with one hand.

Those soldiers were a little dazed when they saw it. When they received the mission, they were instructed to protect him no matter the cost, and He Siming's series of decisions made them feel that He Siming was a bit ignorant. Graduated with a Ph.D., it is easy to feel that this is a nerd.

Then they remembered that when he killed the giant dog yesterday, He Siming was the main force in the front.

He Siming stood on the wall and looked down. The situation outside was a bit tragic, even horrible.

Near the bottom of the wall, there were a few skeletons. Because they were wreckage, they couldn't tell what they were. The ground was in a mess like a bloodbath.

He Siming always felt as if he had forgotten something.

Large and small corpses are everywhere, with scattered bones mixed in, and there is indeed something missing.

That giant dog from yesterday.

Two giant dogs were killed yesterday, one was transported into the cold storage and cut into meat, and the other was left alone because it bit Qin An.

But now, that behemoth has disappeared.Maybe the debris on the ground is the giant dog.

In other words, the mutated animal not only eats people, but also eats other animals.

Humans are not the only prey.

After jumping off the wall, He Siming immediately observed some bones. Although they were fragments, they were enough for him to see some clues.

Qin An's shift changed here, because he was only on duty in the middle of the night, so he wasn't sleepy at the moment.

When I saw He Siming when I went out, two mutated mice ran over. Qin An killed them and ran to He Siming, so that He Siming could concentrate on him.Qin An knew that He Siming was a Ph.D. candidate in paleontology, so he must be able to see some tricks.

"What do you see?" Qin An asked with his eyes wide open.

"Back to the ancestors." He Siming frowned.

"Back to ancestors?" Qin An remembered that He Siming had entered that laboratory, and his major was paleontology: "Do you know what happened?"

He Siming shook his head and smiled wryly: "If I knew, I wouldn't be assigned here. I used to organize materials for the teacher, and part of it was related to a world-class experiment. This time it was an emergency, so I went into the laboratory to find out In some cases, it's a pity..."

Having said that, He Siming's eyes dimmed a bit.

"what happened?"

"There are several experimental animals in the laboratory, all of them have mutated, and the degree of mutation is much more serious than the animals here. Although the government tried its best to rescue, the people in the laboratory were almost wiped out. I was able to escape because I injected the test product. I injected it for you." There was no one around, and He Siming's voice was very low.

He Siming would never hide such things from Qin An.

The amount of information was a bit large, so Qin An digested it: "They are all dead?"

He Siming sighed, and said again: "Almost, but not all those who participated in the experiment were present that day. Before the instructor died, he gave me all the experimental items, and asked me to come here to find someone from the branch to ask for another copy of the experimental data." half."
