Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 231 Butterfly Effect?

Is this the "advance team"? Or are they scattered beast eggs that have escaped or wandered around the outer reaches of the Black Mist Star Region? They were caught by the gravity of the solar system and mistakenly entered the Earth?

The young of this creature can reach speeds of 1-3 Mach, and the adult can reach speeds of up to 10 Mach. At that speed, Li Xiang can't handle it. However, as far as Li Xiang knows, the infancy of this creature is very long. He hasn't studied it specifically, but it's at least five or six years.

All in all, the sooner you catch it, the better.

Li Xiang held the cracked eggshell close to his nose and sniffed the remaining egg liquid carefully. As a seventh-level transcendent, his sense of smell was very sensitive, even better than that of a police dog. When tracking prey, the first thing he had to do was to start with smell and footprints.

Then... Li Xiang looked around in confusion. The wind was strong and the snow was heavy. How could there be any trace?
Li Xiang was confused. How could this thing exist nine years ago? Was it because it existed all along, but the news was blocked so strictly that he didn't know about it? Or was it because of his rebirth that changed the course of history?
After all, the theory of the butterfly effect is still widely accepted.

The butterfly effect is not only a natural science theory, but also a philosophical theory. It talks about a chaotic phenomenon, which means that there are constants and variables in the development of any thing. The development trajectory of things follows certain rules in the process of development, but there are also unpredictable "variables".

As the saying goes, a slight error can lead to a huge mistake. A tiny change in a detail may lead to a huge difference in the result.

It's like a butterfly in South America suddenly flapping its wings, which may result in a tornado in Texas, USA.

As a reborn butterfly, Li Xiang had no idea how many times he had flapped his wings.

Perhaps, the speed of the solar system's movement is relatively fixed, and it will still enter the "boundless" and "infinitely light-years-spanning" black fog star field in 9 years, but the "wind and snow" experienced during this period will definitely be different from the previous life.

"That thing seems to have a special liking for electricity. It also likes to parasitize humans and devour human internal organs... and it particularly likes to gather in crowded and lively places, and... most importantly, it has its own 'stealth' feature and cannot be detected by existing radar or infrared." Li Xiang's current several sets of extraordinary armor are like this, perhaps they are derived from the same technology.

He carefully recalled what he knew in his previous life, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Now that it was daybreak, Li Xiang withdrew the giant whale Shengkai and searched the area nearby to see if there were any suspicious smells or footprints.

A few sites were indeed discovered, but they were scattered and very far apart, and in all directions, so no effective clues could be formed.

"This thing will most likely go to Chengdu, because Chengdu is the largest city within hundreds of miles, with a dense population and the most abundant electricity." Li Xiang took out his mobile phone and decided to call for help. It would be difficult to handle it alone.

As soon as he took out his phone, many messages popped up, one of which was from Xu Xuan: "Brother Xiang, are you interested in coming to Chengdu to hunt in the wild? Something happened at the wildlife park, and a large number of wild animals escaped. Catching these wild animals is definitely more interesting than catching wild boars."

As they had agreed before, when it snowed heavily, everyone would team up to go out and play, but later Li Xiang didn't go, and Xu Xuan felt disappointed. Now, there happened to be such a good opportunity, so he got excited again.

On the one hand, it is very exciting, and on the other hand, it is also a contribution to the wildlife park and protects the lives and safety of Chengdu residents, which is very meaningful.

Many special police were dispatched, but they could not catch the criminals in such a short time. So after Xu Xuan received the news, he called Li Xiang anxiously early in the morning, but the call could not go through, so he sent several messages.

"Brother Xiang, I know it's not good to disturb your sleep, but if you come too late, everyone will be caught and you won't be able to catch up."

In fact, Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou can lead people to catch them, but without Li Xiang's participation, it would not be very meaningful. It's just like playing mahjong during the Chinese New Year. You can play with just a few people, but playing with special people will make you feel especially happy.

Li Xiang called Xu Xuan back and told him that he was currently in Chengdu.

Xu Xuan was very happy: "Ah? Great minds think alike. You came here so quickly?"

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "This matter is more dangerous. Where are you? It's not convenient to talk on the phone. I'll go find you."

"Well, Youyou and I are in a new house, the address is..." So Xu Xuan said.

"Is there a sealed window on the balcony?" Li Xiang asked.

"Have."

"Open the window, I'll be there in three minutes." Li Xiang said and hung up the phone.

At this moment, Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou were still in bed. Just now, Zhang Youyou also leaned over to listen to the general idea. At this moment, the two looked at each other, jumped up immediately, and then quickly put on their clothes and washed up.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if Li Xiang arrived and they were still naked.

Li Xiang’s “hobby” is also very special. He likes to climb through the window rather than go through the front door.

Xu Xuan was quick and finished everything in two minutes. He went to open the balcony window. However, because Li Xiang was coming, Zhang Youyou, as a woman, took longer to get ready and was still in the bathroom.

This is a large flat located on the 28th floor, with an area of 400 to 500 square meters. The south-facing balcony alone is two meters wide and more than ten meters long, and the one facing north is about the same.

Xu Xuan didn't know which direction Li Xiang would come from, so he opened the windows on the north and south balconies, and immediately a cold wind blew in.

Fortunately, he and his wife are both extraordinary people and are not afraid of the cold.

At three minutes, a figure flashed and climbed in from the south balcony window. It was Li Xiang. He gave three minutes to Xu Xuan and his wife so that they could put on their clothes. In fact, he could come faster.

With his speed, it is difficult to catch him with ordinary surveillance or the human eye.

In addition, he was very clean, even on his shoes, there was no dirt or snow stains. One reason was his speed, and the other was that his spiritual power could shake off the dirt.

The floor of Xu Xuan's house was clean and had floor heating, but Li Xiang's shoes left no footprints when he stepped on it. Xu Xuan closed the front and back windows, then took out tea leaves and prepared to make tea for the guests.

"No need to bother, let me make it short. Where is Youyou?" Li Xiang asked.

Xu Xuan said: "She is still tidying up in the bathroom."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Let her come out and participate. This matter is very important."

"I'll go call her." Soon, Xu Xuan brought Zhang Youyou over.

"Look what this is?" Li Xiang took out the broken eggshell obtained from the zoo and placed it on the coffee table.

"What is it?"

Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou looked at each other, so Li Xiang gave a brief introduction. After listening to it, the two of them became extremely solemn.

"The radar doesn't work? How do we find it then?"

Xu Xuan also had a personal combat radar at home. He had helped Li Xiang make one last time, so he naturally made one for himself to play with. He took it this time and turned it on. Sure enough, Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou were dumbfounded. The eggshell was right in front of them, and even when they were waving it around, the radar couldn't detect it.

"Can you give this thing to me? It will be very useful." Xu Xuan asked.

Li Xiang broke off a small piece and said, "The rest is yours."

"Thank you. This is good material. Perhaps, the researchers can research something. It could be more advanced stealth technology, or it could be more advanced detection technology. If such creatures appear again in the future, we may have high-tech equipment to detect them." Xu Xuan explained.

"I know, so I gave it to you. As for the other small piece, I'll keep it for later use." Li Xiang nodded. It was also a small contribution he made to the country. He would definitely not hand over his armor, but he could give away the eggshell of this exotic beast.

If we can really research something, it will definitely be a powerful weapon in the end times.

"Then how do we capture...that thing?" Zhang Youyou asked.

"I suspect that thing will hide in Rongcheng. It's better if it's still in Rongcheng, otherwise it will be troublesome." Li Xiang pondered and said, "I need you to use some channels to closely monitor the changes in the power supply in the city. If there is a sudden increase in power consumption in any place, notify me immediately. In addition, I will borrow your house for a while, and help will come later."

"Oh oh." Xu Xuan and Zhang Youyou said they understood. They just thought that the helpers Li Xiang called for were Lei Jiaming, Lei Xiaohui, Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing. After all, those people were also extraordinary people.

Or, are they those extraordinary pets?
However, as Li Xiang just said, his sense of smell is useless, and replacing it with a pet may not necessarily be any better.

Moreover, pets have to guard the house, so most of the time it is people who come over.

"I need to go see my grandfather. Brother Xiang, I won't accompany you. Youyou, say hello to Brother Xiang." Xu Xuan apologized to Li Xiang, picked up the eggshell, put it in his bag, and hurried out.

Zhang Youyou took out a lot of snacks, made some tea, and ate and chatted with Li Xiang, and also asked him some questions about cultivation.

During this period, Xu Xuan also called and said that the electricity issue had been settled and was under close monitoring. If there was any abnormality, he would be notified immediately. However, he could not come back for the time being and needed to cooperate in reporting some things.

Li Xiang warned: "Don't tell anyone about me."

Xu Xuan: "...Then I'll think of a way. But my grandfather knows."

"The fewer people who know about it, the better," said Li Xiang.

"Okay." Xu Xuan felt a little embarrassed, because how could he keep such a thing secret? He could only limit the knowledge to a few core people.

Moreover, if this matter was done well, there would be no way to avoid rewarding him, and he didn't want Li Xiang to get nothing. If he took all the credit, Li Xiang might feel resentful.

It would be bad if grudges arose between friends.

When Li Xiang learned of Xu Xuan's idea, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The credit goes to you." With Li Xiang's current strength, he would naturally prefer to work alone rather than be controlled by others.

Many people may dream of entering the system, but for Li Xiang, what does it mean?

Given enough time, he becomes the system.

Xu Xuan shook his head: "No, no, I'll discuss it with my grandfather and think of a solution."

"It's up to you. Just try not to involve me." Li Xiang shook his head. The development of things to this point was a bit beyond his expectations, but no matter what, it didn't matter now that he had the strength.

However, that thing might have just arrived on Earth and was very cautious. More than an hour passed and nothing unusual was found.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang and Zhang Youyou ran to open the door. She thought Xu Xuan went out in a hurry and didn't bring the key. But when she opened the door, she saw a woman who was covered tightly.
