[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

Two haha ​​sounds were extremely short of breath, and no one responded.

The atmosphere was rather awkward.

Zhou Qi gradually withdrew his smile, walked up to Xu Chi, propped his elbow on his chin, and looked at Xu Chi's face carefully through his sweaty hair.

Even if I look at that face [-] times, I can't pick out any flaws, and Zhou Qi feels suffocated every time, just like the first time.

Nowadays, cosmetic surgery technology is advanced, and it is not uncommon for people to be reborn with just a few knives, but I have never heard of a case where an old man who is nearly fifty years old has been transformed into a handsome man of 27 or [-] years old.In terms of technical means, it is not impossible to achieve, but the cost is too high. Not to mention the expensive fake skin, it is also very fragile and needs to be carefully maintained from time to time.Maybe it was just a fight that caused the eyes to crooked, mouth to slant and the bridge of the nose to collapse. How could it be so intact until now?Furthermore, human aging is first manifested on the skin. No matter how firm and delicate the skin is, as the years go by, the collagen is gradually lost, and problems such as looseness, wrinkling, dullness and haggardness cannot be escaped. Physiological processes that cannot be stopped, otherwise immortality and eternal youth would be at your fingertips?

Thinking so, Zhou Qi pulled Xu Chi's wrist.

But he saw that the wrist was thin and bony, the skin was extremely white, light to transparent, a thin layer was tightly attached to the bone, and the blue blood vessels were entangled under the skin, protruding high, as if trying to break free from the dry and thin skin, gushing out.

In any case, Zhou Qi caressed the protruding wrist bones carefully, thinking, these are definitely not the hands that an old man in his [-]s would have.

Xu Chi let him hold it, bowed his head and said nothing, only feeling that the temperature in the palm of that big hand was extremely high, a little hot.

Leng Qiu and Ren Simiao all looked at Xu Chi, the former was teary and there was a lot of admiration in his eyes, while the latter's eyes were sharp and more probing.

The face is not old for 20 years.

Ren Simiao thought of a possibility. Her parents had participated in a secret scientific research project funded by the government. By chance, she glimpsed a clue in the scattered documents on her father's desk.It was an experimental data collation, the key word was human cryogenic technology, and the topic was how to minimize cell activity and make the human body enter a pseudo-slumber. The article was mixed with words such as maintaining appearance and delaying aging.Later, the progress of this project was hindered, and it was forced to stop midway for unknown reasons, the experiment was suspended, and all scientific researchers were dismissed and repatriated.

Ren Simiao still remembered that the serious injury in his career had a great impact. His mother sighed and sat in a daze for days, and his father smoked cigarettes alone in the study for three days. When he came out, his hair was half gray.As a result, she was particularly impressed by the mysterious project. When she heard about the strange thing that happened to Xu Chi, she immediately thought of it: once the human body enters a pseudo-slumber, the vital signs plummet to negligible. , by consuming muscle and storing fat to maintain cells in a constant state, for ten years as one day, without eating or drinking, not getting old or dying, from a certain ideal point of view, it can indeed resist oxidation and corrosion for a period of time.

If her conjecture is true, then Xu Chi's real identity can no longer be described as simple, but high and powerful.

How could a person of such status be trapped in this weird Rubik's Cube?

Right now, she can see and think, and the more she thinks about it, the more frightened she becomes, but she suffers from being unable to speak, and she cannot give Zhou Qi a hint, so she can only watch that Tie Hanhan hold Mr. Xu's hand and look left and right, and wipe it from time to time. Put the oil, I sighed ten or twenty times in my heart.

Zhou Qi still didn't believe it, and asked for the tenth time: "Are you really not lying?"

Xu Chi raised his eyes helplessly, and before he could answer, the sweet and fishy smell in the air suddenly became stronger, and a gust of hot wind swept towards his face, making him almost sick.

Xu Chi stood up vigilantly, only to hear a sudden crackling noise in the dark night.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, terrified, and subconsciously gathered towards Zhou Qi and Xu Chi. Even the aborigines who had just been beaten up by Zhou Qi earlier crawled over to seek shelter.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Old Hughes spoke jerky words, trembling next to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi was disgusted in his heart, and kicked unceremoniously: "You fucking shut up, stay away from me!"

Old Hughes was afraid of being beaten, so he had to move his butt reluctantly.

Xu Chi made a silent gesture, raised his head and pointed up.

Everyone looked up.

In the middle of the night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the crackling sound continued.Immediately, someone realized that the starry sky that was still visible just now had been completely covered, and the surroundings became darker and darker, and the things that gradually obscured the moonlight were those strangely shaped female flowers that were originally closed!

Everyone held their breaths and concentrated, and saw one mother flower after another gradually blooming, the extremely hard petals trembled and opened little by little, and the transparent mucus gushed out and dripped straight down the flower stem.

The sweet and rotten smell is released continuously, thick and viscous, like a slowly flowing liquid, ravaging the nasal cavity and rushing straight to the sky.

Zhou Qi was shocked: "It's strange, this time there is no external force, why are so many flowers blooming at the same time?"

The others had never seen such a spectacle before, and they were all stunned.

After these mother flowers opened, some of the buds were empty, while others squeezed out flesh-colored cocoon-shaped eggs from the inner grooves. Once the eggs were delivered, the mother flowers withered and turned into soot.Those "fruits" fell to the ground from mid-air, made a plop sound, bounced a few times with the help of their elastic film coating, and lay in the soil, wriggling strangely.The strangeness of the scene is rare in the world.

No one spoke for a while.

Just listen to the sound of thumping in the dark night.A few minutes later, the voices of discussion gradually started to rise, even those passers with extraordinary concentration also became commotions.

Xu Chi knew that these huge cocoons were full of newborn moths, and once the moths broke out of the cocoons, the moths would be extremely jealous when they met the natives and their enemies, and a fierce battle would inevitably break out, so he squeezed Zhou Qi's palm.

Zhou Qi turned his head, and the two exchanged glances, and their minds were connected at the moment.

Zhou Qi ordered in a low voice: "Go!"

At this time, everyone had him as the leader, and they all responded tacitly. They picked up their weapons, supported each other, and followed Zhou Qi to grope forward in the dark. .

In the huge flower field, female flowers fell one by one, and black soot flew everywhere, covering their heads and faces, and everyone had to cover their noses and mouths and squint their eyes.

At this time, they suddenly heard a crisp sound from someone's feet, everyone stopped immediately, and retreated a few feet vigilantly, but there was another sound of sound from behind, and everyone collectively turned to the left, within two steps, there was another sound There was a sound, and there were strange sounds all around at this time, all of which were scalp-numbing clicks-the group of people was surrounded by unknown creatures, besieged on all sides.

He also has good eyesight, and has already seen through the hazy moonlight what came out of the cocoon, and he was in chaos.

"It's a moth!"

"Mom, this damn place is full of moths!"

"Run away! Run away! We are giving away the head from thousands of miles away!"

Xu Chi also didn't expect to meet the grand event of female flowers giving birth this time, something strange happened, and there was a weirdness everywhere.He observed a young moth crawling out of the cocoon not far away, struggling and rolling on the ground, and found that this moth was very underdeveloped, and its wings were twice as small as the weak Sun Xie before.And the other ones that are close are also generally weak. According to human standards, these are all premature babies who had to be born early in less than a month.

Obviously, this is not in line with the natural law of alien moths. Sun Xie clearly said that moths have to stay in the mother flower for a full six days before they can be born.There must be a reason for this massive premature birth.What mutation happened on the island that caused the mother flowers to take such emergency measures to maximize the benefits of the species?

While Xu Chi was pondering, the aborigines couldn't hold back the preemptive strikes. They also found that these congenitally deficient moths seemed to be weak, unable to even fly, so they swung their knives and slashed hurriedly, trying to strangle the natural enemies to death as soon as possible. swaddling.

The machete held high by the Wu Shaman gleamed coldly,

There was a crisp sound of "铛", the machete was hit by a stone, and the head of the machete went down, piercing straight into the soil next to the young moth.

Wu Shaman stared blankly at the empty palm, turned his head angrily, his face was mottled and messy, glaring at Zhou Qi who shot with big eyes, and yelled loudly, as if he was asking Zhou Qi why he blocked it.

Zhou Qi grimaced and sneered: "Under this situation, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If you scare the snake, you will die alone. Don't drag us to be buried together!"

Wu Shaman couldn't understand what he said, but she could hear the murderous tone in Sensen's tone, and she was beaten up by Zhou Qi before, and the place where she was kicked was still hurting, so she was indeed a little afraid of him .She turned back and drew the knife, looked at old Hughes, who shook his head, she snorted, and signaled all the native subordinates who were ready to go back to turn around.

After being arrogant, Zhou Qi asked Xu Chi in a low voice: "Jiaojiao..."

Jiaozi just got started, and after thinking about it, this person might really be ten or twenty years older than him, and he is a character of the uncle generation, so it's a bit disrespectful to call him so, so he changed his words immediately——

"Brother Jiao, what should we do now?"

Xu Chi: "..."

Xu Chi: "Find a place to stay first."

"Where..." Zhou Qi wanted to ask again, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Ah, you said that lake we hid before?"

Xu Chi nodded.

Once the direction was determined, while the little moths were still ignorantly exploring the world, Zhou Qi led the crowd all the way to the lake.Ren Simiao and Leng Qiu couldn't move, and the natives who were forced to carry them took turns carrying them. The non-stop jolting helped them to try to stay awake, so as not to fall into a terrible lethargy.

After finally escaping to the edge of the flower field, everyone felt a little relieved and slowed down a little.After walking for 2 minutes, there was a sudden thunder-like movement from the depths of the earth, and the ground shook violently twice. Everyone was careless for a moment, and they all fell forward like tarot cards.When I got up again, the resistance to walking seemed to be less, and after walking for a while, I felt as light as a swallow, as if walking on flat ground.

However, on an island with a naturally sloping terrain, the term "walking on flat ground" is a false proposition.

"Wait!" Xu Chi stopped suddenly, remained silent for two seconds, then raised his head suddenly, "No, the island is moving!"

"What island is moving?" Zhou Qi just ran wildly and stopped abruptly, not understanding what Xu Chi's abrupt sentence meant.

"The inclination angle of the ground has become smaller!" Xu Chi's face was extremely pale, and his lips were extremely pale.

Zhou Qi was startled, and took another two steps forward, and when he stepped back, his expression also changed: "Fuck, really."

The other passers-by who heard the conversation between the two were puzzled, and boldly asked: "The angle of inclination has changed and become smaller. Yes, what are the consequences?"

"What's the consequence?" Zhou Qi scratched his head with his fingers, and smiled wryly, "The sea water has already reached the Grand Canyon in the Middle Realm. If the inclination angle continues to decrease, the upturned surface will no longer be a literal upturned surface, and the entire island will eventually They will all be submerged by sea water! They will be submerged sooner or later, so our actions tonight are meaningless!"
