Ancient Gene [End Times]

This time, it was Qin An who woke up first.

Wake up feeling refreshed.Qin An took a deep breath, stood up and looked back at He Siming who was still sleeping, reacted a bit, and then remembered what happened last night.

There is some heat on the face.But this kind of thing is familiar once.Yesterday morning, he still shut himself up for a while, this time Qin An went directly to the bathroom to wash up and prepare for the training that the ghost arranged for him today.

He Siming didn't get up after washing up, and Qin An didn't call him, so he went downstairs to eat.

"Where's Brother He?" Bao Xinyu asked the little angel caringly.

"He..." Qin An thought for a while, then smiled, "He has an upset stomach, take a rest."

This is the excuse He Siming used yesterday.

Qiu Ling held the chopsticks in her mouth and said with a smile: "You guys really have a tacit understanding, you can take care of things like stomachaches for a whole day."

"He was tired yesterday." Qin An said as calmly as possible.

Qiu Ling let out a smirk: "Maybe I did something bad."

Qin An felt a little guilty, neither admitted nor denied, and continued to eat.

After the meal was almost finished, I saw the ghost came back, and went to the dining table to eat two bites: "Dichlorvos is awake, you can go and have a look later. After finishing watching, go to the training room for training. The instructors are all ready, basically two people and one instructor , positive guidance, customized training, you are all mentally prepared."

Qin An looked upstairs. He Siming hadn't gone downstairs to eat yet. He was thinking about whether to bring some food upstairs for delivery. He Siming had already come downstairs.

Bao Xinyu said: "Is it better?"

"Huh?" He Siming looked suspicious.

"Brother Qin said your stomach hurts." Bao Xinyu said.

"It's okay to drink some hot water." He Siming sat down, only to remember that he used this excuse yesterday.Glancing at Qin An, Qin An looked up, and the two looked at each other with an inexplicable tacit understanding.

No matter what the relationship between the two is now, the two have acquiesced in this way of getting along. In this situation where they don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, it is not bad to maintain such an ambiguous and close relationship.

This meal He Siming ate was particularly sweet.

Tian Gui ate the rice in the bowl with several gulps, patted his chest to smooth the rice down, and then remembered, "By the way, Qin An, how's your hiccup these two days?"

Qin An took a bite with his chopsticks: "It's not bad, if you eat less, you will have less hiccups."

"I want you to test the gas to confirm it." The ghosts were still worried that this would reveal their true strength.But as He Siming said, this can be pushed on He Siming's mission.

Qin An nodded in agreement and continued to eat his meal.

After eating, everyone went to see Dichlorvos.Dichlorvos was quite refreshed after waking up, and the wounds on his body healed faster than yesterday.

Then they went to training together, and Qin An was called alone to test the gas from the hiccups.

Qin An hesitated along the way. It wasn't until entering the laboratory that Qin An pulled the sleeve of Tian Gui when there were few people, and asked, "Did your mutation speed up last night?"

Tian Gui looked at Qin An for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice, "Is it related to you?"

Qin An didn't answer, but it was affirmation that he didn't refute.Tian Gui looked at Qin An strangely and curiously, and said, "I did feel that the mutated energy in my body became active when I was about to fall asleep last night, and I also felt it strengthened in the morning."

In this way, it is completely confirmed that what they do will affect the people around them.

Qin An's thoughts turned in his head for a few times before he opened his mouth and said, "I have a guess, but it's not mature. Forget it, you and Xiao Sun will come to Siming and I's room at night, and then we will be together think."

Tian Gui has rich experience, Qiu Ling is mysterious and unpredictable, if they think of a way together, maybe they can figure out why.

In other words, the current relationship between the two will be known by two people.

Within Qin An's acceptance range, he could only let the two of them know.Tian Gui's grandfather is gay, so he accepts it quite well. Qiu Ling gives the impression that he is very unscrupulous, so he probably doesn't think so.

It's not that Qin An doesn't trust the other teammates.It's just that he and He Siming are not really together, and it will be a little embarrassing to announce in advance that if they separate later.

Tian Gui saw Qin An's scruples, and after nodding, he didn't mention the matter at all, and took him to sit in the laboratory waiting for hiccups.

Because Tian Gui repeatedly told Qin An that the gas from hiccups was very smelly, the people in the laboratory specially prepared a tube for him, and when hiccupping, the gas was sent into the tube with the tube in his mouth.Then the other end of the tube is a container.

The rest of Qin An's job is to wait for hiccups.

After He Siming's training, he also inquired about other people's situation last night. Except for a few who slept too much and didn't feel it, almost all of them said that there was a period of time last night when the body mutated very strongly.And this time is the time when the two are confused.

The two of them can cause people to mutate. Is this a disguised form of benefiting mankind...

Qin An waited for the hiccup for nearly an hour, and waited another half an hour in the laboratory room before getting the result.The gas concentration of Qin An's belching is very high, and most of its components are combustible hydrogen. Although methane accounts for a small amount of components, its combustion rate is still very high under high concentrations.

The gas Qin An spits out has extremely high combustion-supporting components.Then he made a feces smear for Qin An to check the bacteria colony in his stomach initially, trying to find out the reason why he belched out burning gas.

It was almost noon before Qin An was released to join training.

In the team, except for Bao Xinyu and Xiao Sun, all of them have strong combat effectiveness.And Xiaosun's innate talent to command mutant animals to fight made up for her other deficiencies, so the intensity of training could be lighter.Bao Xinyu was not so lucky.

He is slightly inferior in terms of combat effectiveness and reaction ability.Of course, there is no way to train him in this short period of time, so his training starts with teamwork.

In fact, this is also the training goal of everyone, but Bao Xinyu focuses more on it.Others have their own strengths. Even if they cannot cooperate with others due to an accident, they still have the ability to protect themselves for a while, which is difficult for Bao Xinyu.

The training is very difficult and intense, and the rhythm is so tight that there is no time to eat lunch.

The reaction of Qin An and others was not as quick as in the morning.

"No. [-] and No. [-]! Climb over the wall to hide!" The instructor pinched the stopwatch and directed everyone.

Ke Chenguang and He Siming quickly ran to the training wall. Ke Chenguang stepped on He Siming's hand and climbed up the wall, and turned back to pull He Siming up the wall.Then He Siming held the wooden warehouse and watched the surroundings vigilantly. Ke Chenguang took the opportunity to roll into the grass a few times, put the wooden warehouse in the right position, and paid attention to the surrounding situation, and then gave He Siming a signal.Finally, He Siming jumped off the wall and rolled into the grass on the other side to take his place.

"End!" The instructor pressed the stopwatch, "13 seconds! Do it again!"

Bao Xinyu was working with Qin An and others to carry two thick logs. He had to follow the instructor's command to continuously move the logs forward and backward, and perform turns and rotations in the yard.The heavy wood consumes everyone's physical strength, and at the same time, it also runs into the cooperation and tacit understanding of everyone.

Bao Xinyu stood in the middle and took the opportunity to glance at He Siming's side: "They have been younger ten times, haven't they reached the standard yet?"

"Ghost knows. Talk less and save some strength!" In fact, Qin An himself could hardly use his strength at this time, and he was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Up to now, Qin An's body has not changed in any way, and he persisted purely by his physical fitness.He wanted to see his limit when he didn't use his abilities.At the same time, body variation will aggravate physical exertion.He didn't even eat lunch. If his body had mutated, he might have already lost his strength.

This kind of cooperative training is to receive various trainings in turn, and it is Xiao Sun who is training with Qin An to climb over the wall and hide.Bao Xinyu's partner is Qiuling.

It wasn't until dark that the results of everyone's training barely allowed the instructors to agree.In fact, the instructors also stayed with them all day without eating.

During dinner, everyone was quieter than ever, just devouring the food in front of them.

Qin An's hands and feet were still weak, and Tian Gui took him to the laboratory again, and showed him the test results of his stool smear.

The number of bacteria in his intestinal tract is indeed different from that of ordinary people, but it has not affected his body at the moment.

At the same time, it can basically be concluded that the bacteria in his stomach have also mutated, but this mutation has also reached a certain balance with the body.The gas produced by fermentation is only a by-product.

However, because of the high concentration of this gas, it is a surprise weapon for Qin An.In other words, so far, as long as Qin An holds the fire source, he is the only mutant with the ability to breathe fire among all the mutants.

I was exhausted today, but before the break, Tiangui still called everyone together for a small meeting:

"The results of today's training have been summed up, and everyone's performance is very good. Tomorrow, eleven of us will train together. I don't know the details, but the hard work is for sure. Before going to bed, if you still have If there is time, I suggest that everyone make a small summary."

Although today's training is hard, everyone has gained a lot.Not only did I learn some silent communication skills between teams, but I also learned a lot of exploration and covert cooperation in extreme environments.

Several people each say a few words of their own summary, which can be regarded as a discussion of experience.

After talking about it, Bao Xinyu thought about it, and then said: "I don't know if you have the same feeling. During training, I feel that the mutation seems to be more intense. During training, I feel very tired, but after eating Now that my physical strength is up, I feel that it is much stronger than the degree of mutation in the morning."

Ke Chenguang nodded and said, "I feel that I can mutate my entire upper body now. Two days ago, it was only limited to my limbs."

Tian Gui looked at Qin An, Qin An couldn't laugh or cry.They were together during training, and Qin An had very little contact with He Siming.

"Maybe the physique has improved, and the speed of mutation has also accelerated." He Siming said.

"Not necessarily. Those who go out to perform missions to kill monsters every day have much better physique than us." Qin An first denied this conjecture.

"This discussion can't come to fruition, let's come here first today." Tian Gui thought that he could meet Qin An alone to discuss this matter later, "Everyone go back and rest, tomorrow's training intensity will be stronger than today. Qiu Ling , I'll find you later. Don't sleep yet."

Qiu Ling felt that there was too much eye contact between Tian Gui and Qin An, but she didn't point it out, she nodded in agreement, and everyone went back to their rooms.

After returning to the bedroom, Qin An told He Siming of his decision.It can't be blamed that Qin An didn't discuss it with him.Let He Siming think about it, and he will think about it too.

At this time, He Siming was most concerned about whether they would "benefit mankind" at night, and what Qin An said about other things.

Half an hour later, Tian Gui and Qiu Ling came and knocked on the door.

He Siming opened the door to welcome the two in.There were only two stools in the room, the two sat on the bed, Qiu Ling and the others moved a stool and sat opposite them.

"We just discovered this matter, although it's a bit..." Qin An coughed, and continued, "But everyone's mutation in the past two days may have something to do with us."

Speaking out is tantamount to showing the relationship between them, Qin An is still a little cautious.He Siming felt that Qin An was a little embarrassed.Xueba's sanity finally recovered.

He said first: "I don't know what happened during the day. We just found that when we have sex, the mutation of other people around us will speed up. We had doubts yesterday. Last night we delayed the time and tried other people again. mutated."

Tiangui was a little surprised, but not surprised.Along the way, the relationship between the two has always been very close, so Tian Gui has long been mentally prepared for them to come out.

Obviously, Tiangui tacitly assumes that they are serious couples with this kind of relationship.It's just that these two mutually attracted idiots are still comforting themselves that they are just friends who maintain this relationship.

Qiu Ling was not surprised, but said: "So you want to follow us to find out the reason?"

Qin An nodded: "Don't tell me you guessed it."

"I'm not that spiritual." Qiu Ling smiled. "It was Sun Quan who told me. Humans are advanced animals. As long as there is emotion, she will feel it. She told me that you did it after dinner yesterday morning."

Anything Xiao Sun knew would tell Qiu Ling as soon as possible, and there was no secret between them.

Hearing this inexplicable shame, Qin An emphasized, "We can't count as doing..."

Halfway through the conversation, I felt that it would be even more embarrassing to elaborate on this matter, so I simply shut up.

He Siming said: "I suspect it has something to do with the reagents. But I don't understand why this is related to sexual behavior."

"It may not only be related to sexual behavior." Qiu Ling said: "Don't forget, the mutation rate of our team is [-]%. Taking Bao Xinyu's child as a reference, the mutation speed is far faster than mutants in other places. If only If it has something to do with sex, then your kidneys are going to fail."

During the day today, everyone who trained together felt the acceleration of body mutation.This is the best proof.

"Those two times were indeed the most rapid mutations." He Siming said.

Qiuling crossed her arms with her chest, and rested her chin with her right fist, and said, "In other words, as long as you are close to you, the evolution speed will be accelerated, but the speed of sexual behavior will be faster. Maybe you need conditions to make people evolve faster. Inspired. During the day today, the only thing you do is to train. Maybe when you exhaust your energy, something will affect the mutation speed of the people around you."

Heavenly Ghost said: "In other words, the two of them may be the source of infection. If the thing that mutates people is regarded as a certain virus, they are the source of infection, and under certain circumstances they will spread the virus. The distance is relatively close People who come into contact with it will quickly mutate."

"It can also be understood as radiation." Qiu Ling said, "After all, considering that their room is airtight, it can affect others through the wall. In theory, radiation is more suitable."

"If you speculate like this, it means that when they are doing strenuous exercise, it will affect the mutation acceleration of the people around them."

Qiu Ling said: "I agree with this inference."

He Siming thought about it: "Maybe there is also a spiritual influence. If simple exhaustion can make people evolve, then we should have discovered it along the way."

Qiu Ling said: "This possibility is not ruled out. But we didn't find it, and it's more likely that we didn't expect it. After all, dealing with mutant animals along the way is enough to make people nervous. We live a life of turmoil every day. Who would Pay attention to your own mutation speed. If it is affected by the spirit, it will be even more difficult to be discovered."

"Indeed." The ghost nodded.

Qiu Ling continued: "When the mood is normal, it will obviously not be affected. So it will only happen when excited, angry, and excited. Of course, this premise is that the speed of other people's evolution is really related to this. We lived together before. , you can't do anything exciting.

Instead, they often deal with mutated monsters.And when your emotions are extreme, basically everyone's emotions are similar.Even if it can affect human evolution at that time, no one will notice.Even if someone pays attention, at most they will only feel that they are emotionally excited, which is why the evolution speed is accelerated, isn't it? "

Qin An said: "Then it will be much easier to prove this. After we leave here, we can pay special attention to it. A few days is enough to find out this matter."

Now the station should have begun to suspect this matter.But they are not destined to stay here for long.If they were to prove this secret, Qin An and He Siming would have to stay alone anyway.

Before determining the situation in Beijing, according to He Siming's idea, it is best not to miss anyone in the team.

Thinking of the worst, if someone stays somewhere before the camp is determined, in the future, if they stand in different teams and become enemies, everyone doesn't want to see it.

Even if selfishness is not considered, from the perspective of all mankind, the value of them going to the Northeast as soon as possible is much higher than the value of staying somewhere to help one person evolve.

Now it is not a certain place that is suffering from disasters, but a catastrophe on a global level.

Tiangui's aunt is a superhuman, maybe she can answer all the questions in the Northeast.

IQ is not enough, the scope of involvement is too narrow, and what can be thought of is also very limited.

He Siming said: "We still have to wait for Dichlorvos to recover."

Qiu Ling smiled and said, "Isn't there a ready-made method to speed up his recovery?"

Qin An felt uncomfortable and looked at Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling continued: "Mutation will speed up the recovery of the wound. The more thorough the mutation, the shorter the recovery time of the wound. In other words, as long as you let him get as close as possible to you, and you do what you did before, Maybe he'll be on his way tomorrow afternoon."

What do you mean by what you have done before, is it possible that you still have to stay in that temporary hospital...

Qin An looked at Qiu Ling and saw teasing in her eyebrows.

Look, this is really a man without integrity.

The point is, isn't she really ashamed when she says such things herself?

Forget it, who let this happen in the name of benefiting mankind...

"Don't tease them." Tiangui smiled helplessly, "Since Dichlorvos's wound heals quickly, you can go on your way directly after the stitches are removed. You only need to put him in the car. As long as there are no Bacterial infection, traveling has little impact on him."

Dichlorvos is a special force, and it can even be said to be the elite of the special force.Whether it is physical quality or mental quality, there is nothing to say.Coupled with the blessing of mutation now, theoretically speaking, as long as he is not fatally injured, his life will not be endangered.

The biggest task of the Tiangui team is to escort He Siming.Theoretically speaking, the progress of the task should not be affected by the injuries of the members.

Fortunately, during the two days I stayed, I could train the teamwork of the whole team, otherwise Dichlorvos would be able to get up from the hospital bed and rush to hurry.

"Safety is the most important thing." Qin An thought about everyone's situation now, "It is still necessary to stay for a few days now. Our equipment has expanded, and the selection of materials has become more comprehensive. I also mixed a set of military uniforms to wear After we are ready, we can continue on our way, so we can be less frightened on the road ahead.”

"The problem is that we have been out for a while, but we haven't even left Lhasa." Tiangui spread his hands.

"There's no way around it," Qiu Ling said. "Airplanes are unreliable now, and trains and high-speed rails can't operate safely. The roads are full of mutated animals, so there's no way to drive all the time. If you want to move forward safely and at a constant speed, now It’s already in good shape.”

"I'm afraid that when we get to the Northeast, the situation in the world will change. After all, according to the current progress, we may take a year or so to reach the Northeast." He Siming frowned.

"Then it's up to fate." Qiu Ling said with a smile.

Qin An thought about it and said: "By the way, didn't you say that there is still a special team called Bawanghua rushing here? Now that the news is blocked, we won't stagger it?"

Tiangui shook his head: "We've been walking on the highway, and every time we arrive in a region, we try to get in touch with the local officials more. Bawanghua is an experienced special forces team, and I believe it will drive here in a similar way In this way, we will advance step by step, and there will always be a time to meet."

"I don't know if there will be mutants in their team." Qiu Ling laughed.

"There should be. According to the current data, people with higher physiques are more likely to mutate." Tiangui thinks about those powerful women, and he still has a high degree of recognition for them.

"However, there are also data showing that the probability of female mutations is much lower than that of males." Qiu Ling said.

He Siming shook his head: "Not necessarily, because not many women will check whether they are mutated. The current data is not accurate."
