Ancient Gene [End Times]

When it comes to professional issues, Qin An's knowledge is limited, but he has a strong logical thinking and can help He Siming as a reference.

"Has it ever happened in history?"

"Based on the current history of the earth, from 500 million years ago to 5000 million years ago, the earth experienced five mass extinctions. During those five time periods, there were huge gaps in biological fossils. And Geology has also left evidence of extreme climate. Although animals are mutating rapidly, they become hunters and at the same time they are also the prey of other creatures. The stronger the mutation, the more intense the killing. In this way, the extinct animals may There will be more." He Siming said.

Qin An thought about it: "It seems that there were also times when species exploded, by the way, it was the Cambrian period!"

He Siming nodded: "That's right, just like the mass extinction, the Cambrian explosion occurred. According to the historical trend of the earth, during that time, a lot of biological species evolved in a very short period of time. Whether it is Both the variety and the quantity are astonishing.”

"Same as now?"

He Siming shook his head: "How is it possible? It is said that it is a short period of time, but it is calculated based on the lifespan of the earth. In fact, it is measured in ten thousand years. At least 200 million years. The global mutation is only a little over a month now, you Do you think it is possible to achieve the mutation that was only achieved in the 200 million years of the earth's history?"

While talking and thinking about things and continuing to run forward, Qin An couldn't turn his head around to sort out the sequence, and said, "Isn't the possibility of mass extinction more likely?"

"If it is logically inferred, the possibility of mass extinction is greater. After all, under extreme weather, the possibility of mass extinction is greater. Gene mutation does not happen overnight. But this is only from the perspective that science can explain now. Think about it. But looking at us now, we have already mutated across species, which is something that modern science can never explain." He Siming stretched out a hand, and the whole hand mutated into a beast claw.

Having said so much, there is still no way to get a more definite answer.But this is also normal.This is a global problem, and none of those five or sixty-year-old brain-type superhumans can explain it.If they can solve it with a few days of chatting, then the scientists can all be laid off.

"But even if it can be related to the things experienced in the history of the earth, it will have no effect on the current situation. There was no civilization like modern times in ancient times, and the conditions are different." Qin An said.

He Siming was thoughtful: "From the perspective of the biological evolution of the earth, it is unlikely that civilizations will be lost in ancient times. After all, the brain has not been highly evolved for a long time. But so far there is no way to prove whether There are aliens visiting the earth. Then it is impossible to know for sure whether there was a high civilization during the mass extinction or explosion. Moreover, it is also useful for us to know whether it is the same as the situation in ancient times. "

Qin An couldn't figure out a question that was too profound.

We were about to leave the county, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the map, if you leave the county seat, if you speed up, you can reach the nearest town within two hours, and you can also settle in the town.

A group of people speeded up and headed to the township.

The sun was slanting to the west, and the sunlight shuttled through the rolling mountains, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

Mutated animals are more rampant at night than during the day. For hunters, night is a good umbrella and the best time for hunting.

The three mutants with the highest degree of mutation stood at the front and back of the team respectively.The larger mutated animal, the white tiger, will be eliminated, and the remaining three, Qin An, will be easily eliminated.The rest are relatively easy to deal with.

Just when Qin An felt that his physical strength was close to exhaustion, he finally saw a vague town not far away.

At the same time, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and the torrential rain, which was visible to the naked eye, chased after him.

This weather is the most mysterious.When I left the county before, the clouds were not too thick, so I thought it was just a drizzle, but in the past two hours, it has rained heavily.

Everyone ran desperately towards the township, but they still couldn't avoid being drenched.

Finally, I ran to a house on the edge of the township. Listening to the sound of rain outside, I finally found a place to shelter from the rain.

Because I came here to hide from the rain, I couldn't choose the conditions.Two windows in the house were broken, and the door frame was also damaged, and it was loose and did not close tightly.This is a very ordinary bungalow. When you walk in, you will find the kitchen, and there are other rooms on the left and right.

"It stinks!" Bao Xinyu covered his nose.

Tiangui looked outside the broken window, it was raining heavily.Smelling the stench in the air, he frowned and considered whether to drive an off-road vehicle to pick a new place to stay, and then drive back to pick up the rest.

He knew that smell, it was the smell of corpses.In the inner room, there are poor people who died unfortunately.

At this time, there was another loud thunder explosion in the sky, which interrupted the ghost's thoughts.

"Most of this kind of rain is passing through the clouds and rain, and it will stop soon." He Siming said.

"Wait a while."

The whole body is wet, and now it is necessary to raise the fire as soon as possible to dry the clothes.

Here is the kitchen with some firewood.

Qin An turned on the stove and took a look, there were leftovers with long hairs and moldy food.Then Qin An snapped back the lid, and turned to look at the stove connected to the heater.

Picking up firewood and stuffing it in to light a fire, several people took turns to hang their clothes on the heating box above and warm up the fire.

Several others were doing push-ups and sit-ups to keep their bodies warm.

What He Siming said was correct. In the past five or six minutes, the heavy rain has subsided.

The clothes of Bao Xinyu and the others haven't been tested yet, they are just a little hot.

Tian Gui directly led the crowd out and drove off-road to continue looking for other better houses.

As soon as the car started, before he had time to walk into the village, he saw a figure walking towards the corner inside.

Everyone raised their vigilance, and when the person gradually approached, they realized that the person was not tall, wearing a raincoat, and looked like a child of fifteen or sixteen.

"Brothers and sisters, are you looking for a place to live?" The man raised his head as he approached. It was a harmless little girl.

For this child who is two years younger than Bao Xinyu, no one can raise his guard.

Qin An took two steps forward: "Your family is in business?"

The little girl nodded: "My family runs a hotel. It's just that there are too few people now. Uncle, come and live with us. We only need some food, which is not expensive. And my house can heat water and cook for you. My mother It's delicious to cook."

Seeing the little girl promoting her store like this, Qin An looked back at the others, thinking about it.

Xiao Sun suddenly said, "No need."

The little girl was slightly stunned, she didn't expect to be rejected: "I...I didn't lie to you, I didn't lie to food."

"We don't think you're lying to us." Qiu Ling said, "Let a little girl venture out to solicit customers. A store like this probably doesn't even have the ability to protect itself."

The little girl was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "I sneaked out! In addition, there were few monsters after the rain, so I came out! When you approached, I heard the sound of the car, so I came here to try my luck. "

Tiangui took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his pocket, walked over and handed it to her: "We have other things that are not suitable for staying in the hotel. You can take this."

The little girl could tell that Tian Gui was the decision-maker of this team, she bit her lip and was full of grievances.Finally, looking at the compressed biscuits, he struggled for a while, but reached out to take them and turned his head to leave.

Several people peeped at each other, and Xiao Sun said, "She's lying."

Xiao Sun's voice was a little cold, she was originally an indifferent person, but after Qiu Ling came, she was even more reticent, perhaps because she spoke too little.When he spoke suddenly, it seemed particularly special.

Bao Xinyu said: "I heard that some terrorist organizations like to let some minors help to commit crimes."

"Dare to go out to entertain customers when it's dark, it's definitely not easy." Tian Gui said, "Let's cheer up tonight."

Soon a suitable foothold was found.It is a two-story building.The family should have moved out, the house is still clean except for the traces of temporarily packing up and leaving.

However, he uses an induction cooker at home, and the only place where he can burn fire is the stove in the boiler room downstairs.

Turn on the stove, sit on the pot that you carry with you, boil a pot of boiling water, and let everyone eat some noodles.

Burned furnace temperature rises.After an hour, it was time to eat and dry the clothes.

There are many rooms upstairs and downstairs, but when you are away from home, it is better to live together.

The army camp prepared sleeping bags for each of them, and they were of a relatively thick style, so it would be fine to lay them on the ground.

Qin An and Bao Xinyu found the quilt from the closet in the bedroom and spread it on the floor, then put the sleeping bag on it, and it was no problem to sleep.

There is a rechargeable desk lamp in the bedroom of the child in this family, and it is still fully lit.Those who went downstairs were lit and hung on the chandelier for lighting, and several night watchmen stood at the windows to monitor the surrounding situation.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, there was movement outside.

"There are footsteps of several people." Qin An said, "About six or seven people."

Tiangui loaded his bow and stood by the bed and glanced outside.

The white tiger outside raised its head and looked around vigilantly.At this moment, an arrow went straight to the tiger's eye.When the white tiger closed its eyes and tilted its head, the arrow shot into the white tiger's fur without affecting it at all.

Qin An heard the sound of arrows and expected that those people did not have hot weapons, but he didn't understand why they attacked Baihu.

After opening the window, Qin An shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"

The white tiger looked down at the few attackers not far away, with a bit of sarcasm in the tiger's eyes, and he couldn't even arouse the emotion of attack.

That person didn't expect Baihu to dodge their arrows so easily. Hearing Qin An's voice, those people looked at each other, and the leader said: "You tiger killed our two dogs!"

Qin An frowned.They had killed many mutant dogs along the way, but they were all crazy animals, and they would never kill pets with owners.

Qin An squinted his eyes to listen to their voices, it didn't look like they had hot weapons.

Whether it's a touch of porcelain or a misunderstanding, always find a way to solve it.

Qin An signaled to a few people, then walked out and said, "I think there is some misunderstanding. Our tiger has not left our sight since it came here, and we have just arrived here."

"Our dog is full of paw prints. It must have been done by a big monster. There is only such a big tiger around here. Who else but you?"

There is only a small flashlight over there, which can illuminate very limitedly.

When Qin An got closer, they saw that Qin An was wearing a military uniform.

When Qin An got closer, they saw that Qin An was wearing a military uniform.

"I think there should be some misunderstanding here. You can look at our white tiger's paws, the blood on them is very faint. Because the last time it killed a monster was before it rained. The blood is almost washed by the water on the ground. We are raining And it kills monsters, especially large monsters, it prefers to bite to death with its teeth. If it is caught to death, it is usually when it is playing. It takes longer. It has not left our sight, why? Maybe run away and play with two dogs to death."

Qin An spoke in an orderly manner, and the ghost came out after him, saying, "If you still don't believe me, I can imprint you with a tiger's fingernail, and you can take it back and verify it."

When the two of them came out, they both had a strong aura.

They have tigers, and they are very strong when they look at them with full armor, so there should be no need to lie.

"But a tiger like you is the biggest around here. It's impossible for others to have such big claws!" The leader also felt that Qin An's words made sense.But there was no one else around here at all, and the only suspect animal was a tiger.

"Nowadays, animals are mutating so badly that there may be monsters with small bodies and big claws. And dogs will definitely scream when they are scratched. Since you haven't noticed, they must be small." Qin An said, "We I'm on my way, there's no need to kill other people's pets to cause trouble and waste time."

The man looked at Qin An's face and saw that he really didn't look like a liar.And they are wearing military uniforms and carrying wooden warehouses, so they must be soldiers.Even if they want to blame, they can't beat them.

Several people looked at each other disappointedly, not knowing what to say.

A person behind said dejectedly: "Then what should we do? We can just point to those two dogs to eat. Now they are gone, and there will be no hunters in the future, and we will not be able to eat."

"Isn't Gesang's dog still alive?"

"That's not far away. My body is covered in scratches and I can't even stand up."

Several people gathered together and began to talk, and the others left two people in the room and followed them.

Qiuling touched Xiaosun, and Xiaosun shook his head, indicating that they were not lying.

Tian Gui looked at the two of them, and Qiu Ling signaled that they were telling the truth.

A person may have enough acting skills to hide it from others, not to see that she is lying.But Xiao Sun can't be fooled absolutely. The innate ability allows her to know everyone's emotional and psychological state without hindrance. No matter how superb her acting skills are, she can't cover up her inner activities.

If there are no other problems with this matter, then it's okay for them to help out.

Tiangui is a soldier after all, and besides helping a gang, it won't waste much time for them.

When they approached, Tiangui called Xiaosun and whispered to her: "Can you go over and have a look?"

Xiao Sun has no objection.She majored in animal husbandry when she was studying, and then worked as a veterinarian for a while. Seeing that the dog that is still alive is also a professional counterpart.

"Well, we happen to have a veterinarian in our team, so I can show you."

The leader was slightly stunned, and then said pleasantly: "Really?"

"I don't know if it can save us. But you can try." Heavenly Ghost said, "Where do you live?"

"It's over there, a small three-story building." Then he looked at Qin An and the others, a little confused, "It's just that there are a lot of people living in our place, I'm afraid you won't be able to live there..."

Bai Yu came out and said, "I'll accompany Xiaosun for a while, and I'll be back after the treatment."

Two people are just right, and those who have too many people are not at ease.

Tian Gui said to the leader: "Leave someone here too. If you don't come back after a long time, you can take us to pick them up."

Heavenly Ghost kept an eye out and asked them to stay alone to prevent them from having crooked thoughts.

For these people, the dog business is the most important thing right now.In addition, Qin An and the others have wooden warehouses in their hands, so if they want to plot something wrong, there is no need to go to such trouble.

In the end, they discussed and left a younger man behind. The others led Xiao Sun and Bai Yu to their residence to see the seriously injured mutant dog.

After they left, Qin An and the others brought the remaining people into the house.

"My surname is Qin, what's your name?" Qin An asked.

"You can just call me Gao Shan," the man said.

"Native?" Qin An asked again.

"The ones from the county. Those who came to join relatives." Gao Shan looked at the military uniforms all over the room, a little cautious.

Qin An: "Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

Hei Niu found the cup from the house, rinsed it and poured him a cup of hot water: "Don't be nervous, we are the People's Liberation Army, and we won't hurt ordinary people."

Gao Shan nodded and took the hot water.

Tiangui asked casually: "Do you still have a hotel open here?"

Gao Shan was slightly stunned: "No. Even before the end of the world, there was only one family with only a few rooms. Then there were so many monsters, they went to Sichuan with the government. I have lived there twice before, so I know."

Sure enough, there was definitely something wrong with that girl.

"Did your dog get injured just now?" Qin An asked again.

Gao Shan nodded: "It's already like this when we go out listening to the sound. We only have two dogs, and one usually looks after the house and the other goes out to hunt. We have more than 50 people, so we just point to those two dogs to hunt."

"One is dead and the other is seriously injured?" Sky Ghost confirmed.

"Yeah. The one who died was injured too badly, so he couldn't do it when he went out. Gesang's dog was stronger, and he could take two steps at that time. Later, he bled too much, so he probably couldn't do it anymore. But even if he persisted, the future I won't be able to fight for a few days. What if..." Gao Shan's face was full of sadness.

The more Tian Gui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, he stood up and took two steps back, just in time to meet Qiu Ling's eyes.

Both saw wonder in the other's eyes.

Afterwards, Tian Gui took out the walkie-talkie to contact Bai Yu.

"Call Baiyu, I'm a ghost! Hear the answer!"

Called several times with no response.Several people looked at each other.At this moment, the intercom finally had a voice: "I am White Fish."

"What's going on?" Tian Gui hurriedly asked.

"Just now the dog was barking too loudly so I couldn't hear it clearly."

"..." Tian Gui was stunned for a moment, pinched his fingers tightly on the walkie-talkie, took a deep breath and said, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you to come back!"

After the call ended, Tian Gui put down the walkie-talkie and glanced at everyone: "Something went wrong!"

Everyone stood up, including Gao Shan.

"How is it possible? Didn't you say you saw a dog?" Gao Shan asked in a daze. He also understood that if something happened to those two people, he wouldn't be the first to escape.

The point is that they just want to survive, so how could they embarrass the two soldiers?

Tiangui looked at Gaoshan for two seconds, then shook his head: "It should have nothing to do with you, we have been tricked."

It can't be blamed for their lack of defense, but the opponent's move is really clever!

They should know that there is a person in the team who can see through whether a person is lying, so they really created an accident to blame a group of them.And as a special soldier, after the misunderstanding is resolved, he will help the fellow to solve the trouble.

Two people were separated, and now, they have a hostage in their hands.

But why did they deal with them soldiers?Even if they are people with bad intentions from other countries, why should they deal with them as passers-by?Is it possible...

Tiangui glanced at He Siming and had a bad feeling.

Qin An's face changed slightly: "It's coming for us!"

Qin An felt a little regretful.Even if the white fish mutated, the degree of mutation was still too low after all.If it was Qin An who went there, he would definitely find out and find a way to escape the first time they made a move.Even if Xiaosun doesn't have much combat power, she is absolutely capable of controlling mutated animals, and it's not a problem if she wants to escape.

But once surrounded, it would be very difficult even for White Fish to escape.

Bao Xinyu couldn't understand. He didn't know why the atmosphere suddenly became tense.He approached Ke Chenguang and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Ke Chenguang said in a low voice: "When I go out on a mission, I will wear a Bluetooth headset connected to the walkie-talkie. That is the sound that goes directly into the ear, how can I not hear it."

It can only be said that Baiyu has rich experience, and by talking like this, he can not only deceive those who control him, but also leave a signal for the ghost.

Their capture of Xiaosun and Baiyu was probably just the first step, and they didn't know what was waiting for them.

Tian Gui took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Regardless of the cost, protect the mission target!" Tian Gui couldn't even confirm whether there were monitoring devices around, because he didn't check carefully after entering here.

He just said the goal of the mission, and everyone knew it was He Siming.

Although this house was selected by themselves, this house is in the best condition around.If those people are really scheming, it is very likely that they planned it and prepared it in advance!

If this had been calculated from the beginning, then the person who planned all this behind the scenes would be too terrifying.

Qin An approached He Siming, and said in a deep voice, "I won't let anything happen to you."

He Siming touched the hidden pocket at his waist, frowning deeply.In fact, he is not afraid of sacrificing him, but he must not let this document fall into the hands of outsiders

At this moment, Tiangui's walkie-talkie rang again: "It seems that you already know."

The voice over there was very strange, and there was undisguised mockery in the words.

"What do you want?" Tiangui squeezed the walkie-talkie, mobilizing the mutant energy in his body to the extreme.
