doomsday lamb

Ten minutes ago, Xicheng Street.

After the disaster, the shores of Dayue Lake have been deserted. Until today, a group of special visitors have arrived here.

As a prestigious wetland park, Dayue Lake's four-season scenery has always been praised by Shashi people. Today's sunshine is just right, and it is projected on the water surface, reflecting a smooth mirror surface. People on the shore look to the bottom of the lake and can vaguely see the shallow water area.

Some water plants.

The breeze blew, causing ripples to appear on the water's surface, and the appearance of the water plants gradually swayed and blurred. A faint red spread from the direction close to the shore, as if some dye had been thrown into the pool of water.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

There was the tapping of boots on the shore, people talking, and the sound of reloading and reloading. People were getting ready to clean the battlefield, but Wei Qiong seemed to be frightened, throwing aside his busy comrades and standing alone.

Drowsing on the shore of the lake.

Following his line of sight, there was a huge insect corpse on the shore not far away. It was about ten meters long and thicker than a water tank. Its white skin was covered with hard bristles.

This mutated worm, which had long since died, was lying on its back by the water, almost split in half from head to tail. Next to the ferocious mouthparts, there was a long laceration, and bright red blood was running along it.

It dripped downward from the wound, drop after drop, into the lake water and dispersed into the distance.

And the lake closest to the insect corpse was now a shocking deep red! It was so red that it was dazzling, and so red that it made people tremble unconsciously.

Wei Qiong is eighteen years old this year. Two years before the disaster, he passed the examination as a noncommissioned officer and joined the Southern Qi Military Region. A year later, he was already a qualified correspondent who was deeply trusted by his superiors.

Although he was born in a peaceful era and had never been on the battlefield, Wei Qiong was exposed to the cruelty of the battlefield when the veterans were chatting. It was nothing more than gunfire and shelling, and the worst was poison gas, air blast, and napalm.

Bullet... Even if he went out to exterminate the black corpses this time, he would do his best to rush ahead and face those terrifying man-eating monsters.

Three minutes ago, Wei Qiong experienced the moment closest to death in his life. A giant late-level third-order worm rushed out of the water to ambush everyone. Wei Qiong was the one closest, close to the water and close to the worm.

, and one step closer to death than others.

It was only a fraction of a second before the bloody maw full of sharp teeth was about to swallow his head. The white serrated teeth were like sharp knives piercing Wei Qiong's mind. For a moment, he even imagined that the other party would take a bite out of him.

Swallow...

At the critical moment, it was Captain Li Yishan who mobilized his ability to temporarily repel the worm. The uncharged "shock wave" was obviously not enough to kill the mutated worm, but the beast obviously had some wisdom and avoided the hard bones in front of him.

He rushed towards the camp of the female soldiers who looked weak and could be bullied.

Then a scene occurred that Wei Qiong will never forget in his life.

The woman in the dark purple cloak from Langya City, the woman with a voluptuous figure but carrying a giant battle ax that was incompatible with her appearance, killed the monster with only three axes!

The first ax struck horizontally into the throat, almost cutting the charging worm in half; the second ax chased the stars and the moon, cutting along the worm's soft white belly, and opened the opponent's belly; the third ax, no,

It should be said that in the end, she used the back of an ax and smashed the head of the late third-order mutated worm with one hammer.

This monster, which had lost the power to resist in the first two axes, was already dead.

Who is the mutant beast? At this moment, this sentence suddenly popped up in Wei Qiong's head.

As for the executioner, he was expressionlessly pulling out the ten-foot-long giant ax from the insect corpse. The ax was obviously much thicker than her slender waist. If her chest hadn't been too majestic, she would have simply stood in front of the giant axe.

Like a bamboo pole.

Can such a "weak woman" really make such a heavy weapon?

But unexpectedly, she seemed to lift the giant ax easily, twirled it in her hand, shook off some bloody flesh, and carried the ax behind her back...

As if she noticed someone's eyes falling on her, Lin Qian smiled at the opponent after the battle, facing Wei Qiong's helpless look. It seemed that the impact of this scene on him was no less than the previous battle...

In fact, it's no wonder Wei Qiong, no matter who comes face to face with that smiling face stained with blood, milky white liquid mixed with blood dripping on the hair and face, no matter how intellectual the smile is, compared to gentleness, people will feel warmer at the first time.

It's shuddering, right?

At this moment, Wei Qiong seemed to have suddenly regained his sense of smell, and the pungent smell of blood seemed to be alive, entering his nose like crazy, and he shivered as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Looking to the side, the remaining battles have also ended.

Li Yishan called Wei Qiong over to comfort him, so as not to leave any shadow on him from being attacked by worms. Over there, Lin Qian also called the female soldiers to assemble and said a few words briefly.

There are only more than a hundred black corpses in the wetland park, which are not even appetizers for the two teams. However, Li Yishan stood in the distance, his eyes never straying away from the huge red ink tomahawk and the owner of the tomahawk.

.

Among the crowd, Lin Qian also looked back, and what caught her eye was Li Yishan's appearance, and an equally huge Ziyemo Dao.

The two of them nodded to each other across the sea of ​​​​people, and it was considered that they had communicated.

…

After the clean-up battle in Shashi City, Yang Zhenghua and the team from the Nanqi Military Region did not stay long. The agreed five hundred bottles of medicine were delivered on time, and the Lanying Army also needed to return to Nanqi City in time to garrison. It is the capital of a province and a densely populated transportation hub in North China.

The battle situation between the Evolvers and the Black Corpses is far more severe than that in Shashi.

Outside the gate of Langya City, Yang Zhenghua, dressed in military uniform, asked the other side: "Xiaoxiao, aren't you coming with me? Grandpa wants to see you very much."

"I...can't. I and my uncle are fine here."

As if sensing the girl's reluctance, Yang Zhenghua didn't push any further.

many years ago

After their great-aunt Yang Qianlan left the family, they lost contact with this branch. Over the next twenty years, Yang Qianlan and his father died successively. Yang Bensheng somehow found his way back to the family, and the contact was slowly restored. But

The second uncle Yang Bensheng didn't seem to want to get too involved with the Yang family. Over the years, the couple returned to the Yang family's home only a few times, and the number of times they took their sister-in-law Yang Qinghua and sister Yang Xiaoxiao home was even fewer.

Yang Zhenghua didn't know much about what happened in the previous generation, but he clearly remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather always smiled from the bottom of his heart when he saw his second uncle's family.

This generation of the Yang family is withering away, and the people in front of me can only be counted on five fingers.

This time, he was lucky enough to meet his second uncle and Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't take them back to Nanqi. Yang Zhenghua really didn't know how to explain to his grandfather when he went back...

"Zhenghua, you should pay attention to safety on the long journey. Please ask me to take care of your grandpa."

Yang Bensheng patted the shoulder of Yang Zhenghua, who was taller than him, and said with infinite emotion: "You have grown much taller than when you were a child." He stretched out his hand to touch the height of his thigh, "You were just a little bit smaller back then."

Yang Zhenghua laughed and said: "Second uncle, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years."

"Yes, if your sister-in-law sees you like you are now, she will definitely be very happy." Yang Bensheng's eyes flashed with memories, "There was no Xiaoxiao at that time, and your favorite child was you."

"Second uncle, please take care of yourself." Yang Zhenghua put away his sad expression and gave a military salute to everyone. "When the transmission base stations in the two places are completed, Zhenghua will definitely come to see you again."

"Okay, good boy." Yang Bensheng nodded, "The burden of the Yang family will now fall on you."

"Everyone from Langya City, see you soon!"

Watching the troops from the Southern Qi Military Region go away, the group of people from Langya City also returned to the base one after another.

Yang Xiaoxiao, who originally had the most out-of-touch temperament, returned to the room without saying a word. Li Liping seemed to feel something and followed her back to the living area.

Yang Bensheng and Li Yishan met to return to the City Lord's Mansion to deal with the mountain of government affairs. Chen Xinyan followed Lang Hua to the back mountain boundary.

In the research institute, in front of a rough crystal core pharmaceutical production line, Chen Xinyan stood behind Lang Hua and said quietly:

"Aren't you worried about what they will come up with after taking the potion?"

Since it is them, it naturally refers to the Yang and Qin families.

"Of course they will study the potion after they get it. Otherwise, what do you think they are doing after buying so many crystal core potions produced by Langya City?" Lang Hua, who was observing the production line, turned around, "If they really want to help people in their jurisdiction

Evolved people use it. It’s not like they don’t have the conditions to prepare simple medicines, so why bother to go far and spend a lot of money to come to us? The best reason for the existence of high-quality products is to imitate them.”

"You know how to let go. Now that there are more and more people in the base, our medicine penetration rate is still less than 30%." Chen Xinyan put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and sighed leisurely, "I think Yang Zhenghua and Qin Chusheng are like this

Neither of them are willing to be controlled."

Lang Hua shook his head and said he was not optimistic about the research efficiency of the other two bases: "Even if it is research, as long as I open up sales before they have results, Nan Qi and Qinchuan will naturally be out of reach."

"You are confident." Chen Xinyan said angrily.

By the way, Langya City now has a complete sand market. Although the number of people in the base is still very small, compared to other forces that have a large number of people but are raging with black corpses, they are many times more stable.

Chen Xinyan suddenly realized that with this kind of production environment, why worry about not having production capacity? It would be impossible for Langya City to make a lot of money!

Thinking of this, he saw Lang Hua smiling bewilderedly at him.

Chen Xinyan raised her eyebrows when she saw this, and kicked Lang Hua hard on the calf. There was no reason, she was just unhappy seeing Lang Hua's proud look.

"Are you going to sell the potion in large quantities?" Chen Xinyan gradually figured out Lang Hua's plan, "Once the potion is sold, doesn't everyone have the qualifications to do research?"

She knows that although the pharmaceutical formula provided by Lang Hua is particularly efficient, it is clever in the dosage and dosage of various ingredients, and is not a particularly profound discovery. In other words, the large biochemical research institute is just trying to imitate it.

A matter of time.

"That's right, Sister Xinyan is really smart." Lang Hua shyly praised her.

"Poor talk." Chen Xinyan put her hands on her hips and moved her eyebrows unconsciously.

The two walked out of the research institute together, and Lang Hua happened to explain to several ability users gathered outside: "Paper cannot contain fire. I never thought that I could keep the secret of purifying the pharmaceutical formula, and it is too selfish.

As long as Langya City can make the first pot of gold, it is enough, we have to take a longer-term view."

"Hey, I didn't realize that you are still a selfless person."

Chen Xinyan teased, then said seriously: "And the information sent to the Science Alliance is the most core secret at the moment. Why give it away for no reason?"

"Sister Xinyan, don't be so narrow-minded...well, you are not narrow-minded, not narrow-minded."

In front of so many people, it was hard for Chen Xinyan to touch Lang Hua.

After being glared at by Chen Xinyan, Lang Hua smiled mischievously and said, "Isn't this to keep you and Brother Zhang as two great academicians? As the saying goes, you have short hands when you take advantage of others, and you have a short mouth when you eat people. The Science League took advantage of me.

, I can’t have the nerve to ask you two.”

"That's not necessarily the case." Chen Xinyan said angrily.

"Hey, Sister Xinyan." Lang Hua suddenly looked disgusted, "Don't always think that the senior experts in the Science League are always the same as you. Being thick-skinned is not a virtue, and judging others by oneself is not a good thing..."

Suddenly he stopped talking, and the tungsten steel blade flying beside the opponent glowed with a cold light, causing Lang Hua to raise his hands in surrender.

"Hmph." Chen Xinyan said worriedly, "You have said that the early stage of the apocalypse is a critical period for the rapid development of all forces. Obtaining in-depth intelligence earlier or later will lead to

There is a huge gap between quantitative change and qualitative change. Even if the Yang and Qin families have become allies with us, there are only eternal interests in this world, so aren't you worried about being backlashed by them in the future?"

"I know..." Old Master Lang Hua shook his head and said.

Chen Xinyan frowned: "Then you still..."

"But just because I know it, I have to put this information out even more."

Lang Hua looked at everyone and expressed his long-buried thoughts.

"Compared to this massive catastrophe, my small Langya City started from scratch. Naturally, it is extremely weak and weak, so finding allies has become an inevitable choice. Langya City is still in its infancy, so it's not like it's a shabby place.

.And the Southern Qi Military Region and the Qinchuan Base have great achievements and are qualified to be the key allies of Langya City at this time. The Science League is also a group of nerds who only know how to study, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Chen Xinyan glared at Lang Hua fiercely. Wouldn't she be scolded by her words like this?

Lang Hua consciously made a mistake, pretended not to see Chen Xinyan's sharp gaze, and continued talking on his own.

"The strength of our own camp is enough to gain more say for us. Even if the intelligence is leaked three months later, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Now humans have a common enemy of catastrophic creatures, and they are not ready to kill each other.

The level of human strength can be improved, and the situation of the entire ethnic group in the general environment will be relatively better. It should be noted that the supporting vehicles are dependent on each other, and if the entire human race cannot survive, we will naturally not be easy."

At this point, everyone understood. At this time, no one asked Lang Hua out of curiosity - why not share the information directly with the world. Lang Hua's purpose is to make up for this time difference. As long as Langya City is in this time period,

One faction, especially those belonging to Langya City, can greatly improve their strength and leave many other factions behind to eat dust. The prosperity of the race is a mutually beneficial good thing for them.

Trees need a good soil environment to become useful. The more optimistic the human race's situation is, the more fertile the soil under their feet will be for human evolvers.

And what Lang Hua hasn’t said is that with Chen Xinyan and Zhang Cheng in his hands, no matter how much information other forces have, Lang Hua will not be afraid. You must know that these two people were once known as the golden girls in the scientific research world in the apocalypse.

In the previous life, I often made great achievements under the condition of crossing the river by feeling the stones. This time, I have the results of the previous life in my head. Are you afraid that you will not be able to make further progress?

The rebirth of Lang Hua is the biggest bug. With him sitting in Fengwei Mountain, Langya City has an advantage that other forces do not have. Not to mention, within ten years other forces want to catch up with Langya in the field of scientific research.

The city may be difficult.

…

That night, Lang Hua found Zhang Cheng in a basement of the research institute. When they met, he asked how confident he was in setting up a transmission base station.

"Originally, there wasn't much. I've looked at the meteorite samples you brought. It's obviously not a mineral that can be found on the earth. Now it seems that there is a lot of difference between the two meteorite crash sites of Dayue Lake and Xiaoyue Lake.

Correlation, under the influence of the two phases, when encountering the intrusion of spore black mist, the phenomenon of time and space folding will easily occur."

Lang Hua frowned and asked directly: "Can you find a pattern?"

This kind of simple teleportation platform appeared in the hands of Zhang Cheng seven years ago in the previous life. I wonder if he can do it with certainty this time.

Seemingly responding to Lang Hua's worries, Zhang Cheng nodded affirmatively: "No problem. The advanced formula you wrote to me has a very large order. After I read it, I felt suddenly enlightened. It could take as little as ten days, or as long as

Then in a month, I can verify the first parameters in the laboratory."

"That's great." Lang Hua was so excited that he suddenly put his arm around Zhang Cheng's shoulders with a mischievous smile and whispered, "Brother Zhang, you still need to walk more with Sister Xinyan when you have nothing to do.

You are all high-tech talents, so you must have many topics in common. By the way, Brother Zhang, you don’t know Sister Xinyan’s room number yet, so I’ll write it down for you right now. Also, it’s hard to get her room key.

All I can say is I’ll do my best..."

"Ahem." Caught off guard, Zhang Cheng choked on his saliva. His face turned red and he waved his hands quickly, "We have different majors and have nothing in common..."

"Straight man..." Lang Hua had a dark look on his face, as if he was remembering the scenes in Nata Mountain in his previous life.

"Hua Zi, what did you say?"

"It's nothing. I said Brother Zhang, you are really an upright man." Lang Hua smiled harmlessly, already thinking about how to arrange a moonlight encounter between the two of them.

Well, let's take a look at the recent weather.

After another confidential conversation, Lang Hua handed Zhang Cheng a brand new hard drive before leaving, and then walked out of the basement without looking back.

Comrade Lang Hua was in a sad mood at this moment, and his head was hurting at this moment.

To be honest, it has been almost a month since Zhang Cheng came to the base after Chen Xinyan. The two of them have only met once, and they didn't say a few words. If Lang Hua, who had returned from time travel, hadn't known that they were interested in each other, they would be both interested now.

Confused, okay?

Sometimes Lang Hua really wanted to pry open the heads of these two people and see what else was there besides all kinds of formulas and professional knowledge.

"Alas, riding a horse is harder than saving the world."

Lang Hua, who was shaking his head, shook off a few snowflakes on his head, but was stopped by Zhang Cheng who was chasing after him after taking a few steps.

Looking at Zhang Cheng who was blocking the front with his arms open, and the slightly drunken and eager expression on his face, Lang Hua seemed to understand something and said happily: "Hey, Brother Zhang, are you thinking about it? I'll go right away.

Don't worry about getting the key! Even if you have to go up a mountain of swords and go down into a sea of ​​fire, today I will get you the spare key to Sister Xinyan's room."

"No, it's not." Zhang Cheng waved his hands out of breath, and the first thing he asked when he raised his head was, "Where did those formulas on your hard drive come from?"

The frustrated Lang Hua took a deep breath for a long time, as if he was holding back some boundless anger that hated iron.

Then, with a stern look on his face, he replied to Zhang Cheng mysteriously:

"Listen up, that's...your future self."
