Ancient Gene [End Times]

Bao Xinyu said: "It's best if there are only two people outside. This way it will be easier for me to carry. And I can completely control the space, and I can pull people out at any time."

Qin An nodded and said, "Leave me and Qiu Ling alone! Qiu Ling will show you the way, and I will deal with the mutated animals."

Tian Gui was the first to refuse, saying: "No! If there are only three people, many things cannot be reacted."

Qiu Ling supported Qin An's idea: "I think it is feasible. Don't forget, most of the places here are caves. With Qin An's current state, it is completely possible for one man to guard the gate and ten thousand men to not open. There are too many people and it is easy to cause chaos. We The three of you will discuss with each other whether you need your help. By the way, after you enter the space for a while, Qin An will try to see if he can establish a conscious connection with them, and if he can, then he will be more at ease."

Bao Xinyu also said: "If there are too many people, it will be very difficult for me to carry it. Since it is very strange, it is better to ensure that everyone stands in the protective space. I will not say that there are too many people. There are more dangers. .”

Tiangui has always been on the front line, and rarely retreats to the second line while watching his teammates fight.

Seeing that they are all insisting, looking back at the others, they can only nod and temporarily agree: "If there is danger, take us out at any time, and each of us will be ready to fight inside."

Several people nodded, but Ke Chenguang suddenly said: "I remembered, I was not here when I was rescued."

Several people were stunned, He Siming thought for a while, and said: "Indeed, I remember you said before, it should be outside the cave."

Even if this place is outside the depths of the cave, I still feel that what Ke Chenguang said is inconsistent.

Ke Chenguang said: "I was rescued a few miles outside the cave. But I did wake up here in the middle of losing consciousness."

"Qiu Ling, I remember you said before that those with abilities similar to jade cards..." Qin An couldn't remember clearly, it was almost a year ago.

"Yin card." Qiu Ling said in a deep voice, "If it is a jade card, it can only be this jade card. But still the same sentence, it stands to reason that before the end of the world, jade cards will not take the initiative to reveal their position. Back then All of them came here because they found something strange here."

"What if there were some monsters who ate the jade tokens to gain power at that time?" Qin An asked, "You only said that the jade tokens would only actively reveal their position after the end of the world. But even before, jade tokens could be used If it establishes a connection with people, then it should be able to grant people special abilities. If this statement is true, then swallowing jade tablets can also gain energy. This can explain why the special forces were sent here three times in the first place."

In fact, this is not what Qin An thinks of now, but after hearing it at the beginning, he cares about it in his heart, and he will think about it when he has time.How much time has passed in the past six months, and I thought of this in a flash of inspiration.

Qiu Ling really didn't think about it.You know, she knew this, not much earlier than everyone else.The reason why she can analyze so much is only because of her age. She is more mature in her thinking in her 40s, so she can often think about things one step ahead.

But it doesn't mean she thinks everything can be done.She's not a brainy superhuman, after all.

But counting, language talent is also a manifestation of brain evolution.

"It's possible." Qin An nodded.

Tiangui's face became gloomy: "In other words, there was a mutant animal that devoured the mutation of the jade tablet back then, and then killed my father and the others. In other words, we are very likely to encounter the same animal." mutant animals."

Everyone was silent, and then Qin An said: "If this is really the case, I will definitely let you reach out and kill that mutant animal."

Tian Gui shook his head: "It's not just that. Have you ever thought about it? My parents, including the team members around them, were super human beings who were ranked very high in the world at that time! Even now, super human beings with mutated bodies The fighting power of human beings can also be considered strong. But at that time, so many super humans were helpless with it. After so many years, who knows how powerful it is now."

In a few years, everyone knows how strong a jade card can make a person.

Take He Siming as an example. Less than a year after he got the jade medal, he was able to cause an earthquake with an area of ​​about one kilometer.

When Tiangui's parents died, Tiangui was only five years old.Up to now, more than 20 years have passed.

With reference to He Siming's strength, what can a monster become in 20 years? Needless to say, everyone has an idea in their hearts.

"Gollum."

Qin An swallowed.

"Could it be a monster like that killer whale?" Bao Xinyu asked with a wry smile.

"The size is not a problem, I'm afraid that the energy it obtains through the jade card is too powerful. The superhumans at the peak of the year couldn't do anything about it, let alone more than 20 years later." Qiu Ling also felt the seriousness of the situation.

All he could do right now was smile wryly.

Qin An couldn't help but think, if the monster was really terrifying to a certain extent, maybe only Qi Xiu could deal with it.

It's a pity that Qi Yu is not here, they are the only ones here.

"Then... can my jade token resist?" Bao Xinyu asked.

Qiu Ling said: "It should be possible. The abilities of the jade cards do not conflict with each other. Since your jade card can resist attacks, it can also isolate the power of other jade cards. But the premise is that you must always open your protection space."

"As long as I live, I will definitely keep this space." Bao Xinyu nodded heavily.

Ke Chenguang patted him on the head: "Don't say that. We don't necessarily have no chance of winning. I think, since we were all removed, and only my arm was cut off, it is very likely that the other party has no intention of killing. Big. At the same time, it also proves that we were sent out, which means that our position was close to it at that time."

"Then let's go inside first!" Qin An's heart beat faster and he was very nervous.The more this happened, the more radical Qin An became.It has something to do with his personality.The more mysterious and frightening it is, the faster he has to move and face the danger head-on.

He Siming was worried, but knew that such an arrangement was the best right now.Ke Chenguang also understands this truth.

Bao Xinyu set his eyes on the sky ghost at the front, and first pulled him into the space of Xiaoqian World.

Then, it was He Siming who looked at Ke Chenguang. Ke Chenguang held Bao Xinyu's shoulder with one hand and said, "Be careful!"

"Don't worry." Bao Xinyu patted Ke Chenguang's shoulder, "I have space protection and I can fly. No one can trap me."

Ke Chenguang nodded, and then entered Bao Xinyu's space with a flash in front of his eyes.

Putting everyone into the space, only Qin An was left.

The three of them looked at each other, Bao Xinyu pressed a green sticker on his shoulder, and then activated the jade tablet to open his own space about one square in size. Qin An and Qiu Ling stood around him, right next to Bao Xinyu. within the scope of protection.

"Brother Qin, I want to save my physical strength to give this absolute protection, there is no way to mutate my body. This is only up to you!"

Qiu Ling cannot mutate, this matter can only be relied on Qin An.

"Don't worry, you guys come with me. Qiu Ling, you'll be fine after you're done."

There were only three people in total, and Bao Xinyu had to stand in the middle of them if he wanted to be the center axis.Qin An took the lead, while Qiu Ling could only stand behind.

Although the danger behind is relatively small.But if they entered a narrow passage and another monster came from behind, only Qiu Ling could deal with it alone.

"I don't have to worry. Don't forget what my jade card is for?" Qiu Ling still had some confidence in this point.

Qin An almost forgot that Qiu Ling's jade plaque can take away youth.

"Then let's go! Xinyu, don't force yourself too much. If you can't hold on anymore, tell us a few seconds in advance. If it's not good enough, you can pull the three of us into the space and wait until the outside situation is better. We It’s not that you don’t have cards, so don’t be too impulsive!”

Qin An instructed.

At Bao Xinyu's age, it's time to be impulsive.Qin An wanted to clarify the situation with him first.Keep him from digging into dead ends.

Bao Xinyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know it well."

What Ke Chenguang said has some truth.According to the way they moved at the beginning, it is very likely that they got close to the monster, so they were sent out.

In this case, this time, they continued to act from where they left.

Qin An led the two behind them into the cave on the left.Bao Xinyu tried to expand the space a little, so that the three of them would not be so crowded and have a little room for their own activities.

At the three forks, Qin An went to the far right.

After walking for about 1 minute, I met the bifurcation on both sides, and it was still on the right side.Going around like this for about half an hour.

Qin An couldn't help asking Qiu Ling: "Did you see anything?" Qin An asked.

"There is no pattern at all." Qiu Ling also frowned, "It's like random here. And..."

"And what?" Qin An asked.

"Besides, I suspect that we have come full circle." Qiu Ling said.

Both Qin An were taken aback.

There are no rules for the forks here, there are two, three or even four forks.Although several people are walking at the rightmost fork, sometimes the rightmost fork is also on the left side of the original intersection.

So after walking for such a long time, several people even suspected that this was a straight line walking around the bush.If it is a detour in place, it is also possible.But the bifurcations here are not the same, and it is really hard to remember.

Qiu Ling took out a notebook from her pocket, and said, "How about this, every [-] steps I walk, I'll throw a scrap of paper. When we see the scrap of paper again, it means we're taking a detour."

"Well, let's move on."

Qiu Ling tore off a little bit and threw it on the ground, then tore a piece of paper into shreds, counted the steps, and threw a little bit down at intervals.

More than ten minutes passed.Everyone was in front and found a confetti.

Qin An knelt down to pick up the scraps of paper, frowned and said, "It seems that we are indeed taking a detour."

Qiu Ling looked back and forth, stretched out her hand to Qin An and said, "Show me."

Qin An handed the scraps of paper to Qiu Ling, who took it and took a look.

"This is the fourth slip of paper I've dropped."

Bao Xinyu was surprised: "Do you remember this?"

Although at most seven or eight fragments have been thrown away, how does Qiu Ling ensure that she remembers all of them?

"The shapes I deliberately tore are different. There is still a big gap between them."

"It's not the first piece of paper we threw. Then it's not turning in circles. But in our way of walking, it will intersect the path we walked before, right!" Qin An asked Qiu Ling.

"Well. Let's continue walking. If it's not completely coincident, then we will go on another road." Qiu Ling said.

"Maybe we can throw debris when a road meets a fork, one at the exit and one at the entrance. Then we meet again and don't take the road with debris. Is it possible to find all the places here as soon as possible? Over and over?" Bao Xinyu said.

"If it is a regular maze, this method is very practical. But this place is still very weird. Let's keep going. After walking for another half an hour, if we can still see the previous piece of paper, we will try to fork Put the pieces in your mouth."

Qiu Ling had other thoughts in her heart, and she was also carefully verifying some things.

Qin An nodded and continued to move forward. Qiu Ling threw down the pieces and continued to throw papers. She also made some creases on the paper, which made it easier to remember.

After continuing to walk for about 5 minutes, the sound of the mutated animals in front became louder and louder.

Qin An raised his spirits and continued to walk a few steps forward, when he heard a rat's cry coming from the intersection ahead.

When Qin An shone the flashlight, he saw a one-meter-tall rat whose fur was beginning to fall off.

If it was a year ago, Qin An would still have weak calves after seeing him.But for the current Qin An, such a mouse is simply not enough to look at.

Qin An wanted to go up and kill.But after thinking about it, he was afraid of other dangers after leaving the space, so he stood there without moving.

The mouse smelled the smell of human flesh, sniffed greedily, and then sped up.

Bao Xinyu said: "Brother Qin, don't worry! With me in this space, it can't hurt you. You can attack it when it is blocked outside!"

Qin An nodded and didn't move. His hands mutated into claws, waiting for the mouse to get close, and then bumped into the invisible barrier.

When dealing with the plateau, Qin An had come into contact with a similar air wall.It's just that Qin An was standing outside at that time, and now Qin An is quite comfortable in the space looking at the monsters that can't even get in from outside.

The mutated mouse couldn't get close to Qin An, so it yelled angrily twice, and opened its mouth to bite the air wall in front of it.

And Qin An only watched it open its mouth, revealing a pair of big dies.Qin An stretched out one paw, and his nails suddenly grew two feet, smashing the mutated mouse's front teeth and piercing into its upper teeth.

With such a distance, Qin An used a lot of strength for this movement, enough to insert his nails into the mutant mouse's brain.

The mutated mouse twitched and fell to the ground.The muscles still twitch, but the body is dead.

The mutated mouse was not small in size, it fell to the ground and occupied most of the hole.

Qin An stepped on the mouse and could only squat and walk over it.

After stepping on the mouse, he turned his head and pulled Bao Xinyu up, and Bao Xinyu turned his head to pull Qiuling.

Qiu Ling stepped on the mouse, and the soft touch felt a little disgusting.

"There will be other monsters ahead." Qiu Ling said.

"En." Qin An responded, rubbing his paws on the mouse's remaining fur.

After walking a few steps forward, everyone heard the voice of the mutated animal again.But this time, you can tell just by the sound of calls and footsteps, there are more than one or two.

With Bao Xinyu's absolute space, these mutated animals have no way to get close.Qin An looked coldly at the mutated animals in front of him, and his hands were ready to take their lives.

"Don't rush to attack yet!" Qiu Ling reminded.

"Well, wait for them to approach." Qin An said.

"Don't shoot if you get close. Let them go around twice outside. They can't go in front. They will make holes from the side or from the bottom! Let them make holes by themselves to make the space around here more spacious. Otherwise, these monsters will be killed. We can't get through it. Don't tell me, you can take care of cutting them up. I don't want to step on their flesh again!"

There is not much space here, and there are large mutated animals. To deal with these monsters, you must think more.

Bao Xinyu nodded and said: "Yes! Even if we go forward, they can't get close to us. We can even push them. We can wait for them to dig the two sides, let them die on the side, and don't block our front way!"

Qin An didn't expect this, and nodded in agreement.

The monsters in front had already approached, but they were all blocked by Bao Xinyu's absolute defense, as if they were blocked by an invisible glass.Bao Xinyu continued to walk forward, and they were also pushed back.

Another mutated monster rushed forward from behind.Seeing that the monsters in front of them were stuck there, they felt that they were eating alone, and angrily began to bite the monsters standing in front of them.

After the bitten monster was bitten, it would not easily let go of the mutated animal behind it, turning around and biting fiercely.

Soon, the monsters running in front began to kill each other, and the scene was very bloody for a time.

The three of Qin An were reduced to melon-eating crowd, listening to the sharp roars and fighting sounds of the monsters in front of them.This is the first time they have stayed out of the way when facing the mutated monsters, quietly sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight.

After waiting for a while, some monsters finally thought of digging holes to attack.Watching the moss on both sides being dug down by the sharp claws of the monsters, and the monster's body also began to reach the sides of the three of them.

Feeling that this level will not cause them any obstacles, Qin An looked at the poor little boy who was trapped by the space and the hole he dug and couldn't use his body. He stretched out his claws and cut off its neck, ending its hard hunting. destiny.

And the battle ahead has also begun to tell the winner.Dead mutated animals started to have mutated animals to eat their bodies.Those monsters were injured in the battle, and if they wanted to recover as soon as possible, they had to eat and recover as soon as possible.

The monsters ate a few pieces of other monsters' meat and felt their physical strength recovered, so they continued to set their targets on Qin An.

Regarding this, Qin An expressed some helplessness, Bao Xinyu continued to walk forward, and the monsters that were still alive in front were still being pushed forward.Afterwards, these monsters either started a second round of fighting, or followed the old path of their predecessors and started attacking from both sides.

The results of the two options did not change much.One is to die in the hands of other monsters, and the other is to die in Qin An's hands.The biggest difference is probably that Qin An can give them a good time without too much pain or pain.

There are obviously more mutant animals here than before.

Just like that, when there were as many as ten corpses around, it finally calmed down again.

At this time, Qin An once again saw a piece of paper that had been thrown before, and squatted down to pick it up. There was no crease on it, so it was not thrown behind.

Cross Bao Xinyu and hand it to Qiu Ling: "When did you throw this away?"

Qiu Ling took the paper and looked at it carefully.The expression became more serious: "This is the first one I threw."

Could it be that everyone went back to the original point this time?

Bao Xinyu laughed dryly: "Are you kidding me? Did we go around and come back?"

Qiu Ling touched the moss on the wall and said in a deep voice, "Go another 50 meters."

Qin An's mood was also a little tense.Hearing Qiu Ling's command, he barely lifted his spirits and continued to move forward.

This time, there was no fork in the first 50 meters.Instead, I came across a piece of paper, which was creased, and it should have been dropped not long ago.

"It's impossible." Qin An picked up the piece of paper, touched the creases on it, and was a little dumbfounded.

Because he clearly remembered that on the way before and after throwing the first piece of paper, he did not throw the second piece of paper until he encountered the next fork in the road.

Qiuling touched the moss again and finally came to a conclusion.

"You can stop now." Qiu Ling said in a deep voice.

"What did you find?" Qin An asked.

"We won't be able to get out after another two years. This is not a maze, but a toy puzzle." Qiu Ling's smile was a bit bitter, unbelievable, but also self-deprecating.

Such emotions are rarely seen on Qiu Ling's face.

Bao Xinyu came back to his senses and grabbed Qiu Ling's sleeve: "Sister Ling! What's going on?"

"Have you played jigsaw puzzles before?" Qiu Ling said, "Or jigsaw puzzles. You can put them together into any shape you want. I think the maze here is a huge jigsaw puzzle. It is basically certain that that The person who plays this jigsaw puzzle is the one who has mastered the Yin Pai. The main ability of the Yin Pai is to transfer space. It fits perfectly here."

"Didn't it mean that my jade card can block the ability of the Yin card?" Bao Xinyu was puzzled.

"What I said to block is to prevent the opponent from using the jade token on the people in this protected space. And the opponent moved not only the three of us, but also a large space around us. During this process, we have nothing to do. I know. Even as long as the other party wants, we can walk back and forth in a passage without restriction!"

Having said this, Qiu Ling's voice trembled a little more.

A road, walked repeatedly, seems to have no end.

"This... Isn't this a ghost hitting the wall?" Bao Xinyu was startled with fright.

And now, apparently, all three of them have become toys for someone who doesn't know what is inside.
