Chapter 128 Planetary Self-Awareness

An hour later, Jiang Rong successfully found the research institute that Qi Tianchen mentioned by using space hiding. At the same time, he met Zhou Jingyu who was rushing back to find his mother and sister.

Zhou Jingyu was abducted by Jiang Rong halfway, surrounded by dozens of people with special abilities.

Zhou Jingyu's father, Zhou Qingshan, is the second-in-command of the base and has sufficient privileges to enter the research institute freely.

At this time, because the research institute is located underground, it has not yet been affected by the beast tide.

However, when they successfully entered the research institute, they found that the mutant crows that were sent in in the morning were now dead.

Jiang Rong...

These people are committing suicide really quickly.

Zhou Jingyu pointed at the leading researcher, his eyes slightly red, and he was obviously very angry.

"Why don't we throw their bodies out of the base?" The leading researcher suggested, feeling that he was in the wrong.

"You say it's easy? You're going to send them off? They're going to send my people off to die, aren't they?!" Zhou Jingyu now looked at those mentally ill researchers with great displeasure, and started scolding them whenever he caught them.

"Zhou Jingyu, take your people to protect Aunt Qi and the others. They are in Room B13 now."

There are dozens of people with special abilities protecting him alone. These people should be able to help hold out for quite some time.

"What about you? And these corpses?" Zhou Jingyu glared at the researchers opposite him fiercely, then looked at Jiang Rong in confusion.

"I'll go take them there." Jiang Rong's eyes fell on the mutant crow cubs. He had no idea what experiments these research institutes were doing on them. Some of them had been dismembered, and some were bloody.

"Are you alone?" Zhou Jingyu asked with some disbelief.

Jiang Rong nodded silently.

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Rong landed smoothly on the outskirts of the base, followed by hundreds of millions of mutant crows.

She put down the cloth bag containing the bodies of the crow cubs at a place some distance away from the base, and then entered the space.

"Can you come and go freely in the future? No need to worry about being discovered by those people?" Jiang Rong's eyes fell directly on Qin Sang's handsome face.

Since the last time she saw him, he looked less pale, his complexion was much rosier, and his face was not as thin.

Jiang Rong was surprised at his sudden awakening.

Jiang Rong was even more surprised that he could leave the space without any scruples.

"Yeah." Qin Sang nodded slightly.

"Have you fully recovered your strength?"

"I have recovered about 70%." Qin Sang curled his lips slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rong raised his hand and patted Qin Sang's shoulder heavily.

"That's good!"

If Qin Sang could go out, she would fly to Beijing right away!!!

Jiang Rong was very happy.

Because she had just put down the mutant crow crows, those mutant crows would definitely not leave for a while, and Jiang Rong was not in a hurry to go out.

"Let me cut your hair, otherwise you'll be too conspicuous outside."

With her waist-length silver hair, if she were an orc, he would recognize her at a glance.

Although Qin Sang claimed that his strength had recovered 70% to 80%, Jiang Rong didn't know what that 70% to 80% meant.

It’s better to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, so they will be living targets.

Jiang Rong doesn't like this feeling.

Qin Sang nodded when he heard this and let Jiang Rong fiddle with it.

Jiang Rong has been in the apocalypse for so many years. She may not be able to have a good-looking hairstyle, but she is very good at the simplest and sloppy short hair.

Anyway, with Qin Sang's face, as long as it's not too outrageous, there is no way it can be associated with ugly.

After working for an hour, Jiang Rong even dyed his hair black, but his hair dyeing skills were not very skilled, so some places were black and some were white.

Finally, I washed my hair. There was hot water stored in the space. After adding some cold water, the water temperature was just right.

After washing, use a battery-powered cordless hair dryer to blow it half dry and you're done.

The flowing and smooth short hair hangs down naturally, with black and white hair intertwined.

"Perfect."

Jiang Rong looked at Qin Sang's new look with admiration and indulged himself for a moment.

A fairy.

Jiang Rong could only use her poor language to describe Qin Sang's beauty.

"Put this on."

Jiang Rong took out a black mask and handed it over.

Qin Sang looked puzzled.

"You're too eye-catching." Jiang Rong said sincerely. This was necessary to reduce unnecessary trouble.

If, as Qin Sang said, the orcs could no longer find him through some special means, then he could change his hairstyle and hair color, and then put on a mask to cover his iconic face. She felt that even if he appeared in front of those people, they would not be able to recognize him for a while.

"But why?" Jiang Rong admired the man's handsome face for a while and began to ask.

"suppress."

"After your strength is restored, can you suppress their detection methods?" Jiang Rong was used to the other party's characteristic of being taciturn.

"Um."

The two of them asked and answered their own questions, communicating seamlessly.

At this time, Lingyu was in seclusion in the space, and Xuanling was also there.

For now, it was just the two of them.

Jiang Rong observed the situation outside while taking two glasses of lemonade from the snack area in the space. He took an iced glass for himself and handed a hot glass to Qin Sang.

I don’t know if it’s because his original form is a snake, but his body temperature is a little lower than that of ordinary people.

As Jiang Rong handed it to him, she recalled the time when she washed his hair just now. Her fingertips touched the temperature of his neck, which felt cool.

And the hands too.

When I handed him the towel, I accidentally touched it and it was also warm and cool.

My body is so cold, I don’t know if I’m afraid of the cold, Jiang Rong thought silently.

When you are daydreaming, your thoughts tend to wander.

However, Jiang Rong's wandering thoughts did not last long, as the mutated crows outside gradually dispersed.

I just don't know what the situation is in the base now.

"There is something in your body." Qin Sang's eyes were always on Jiang Rong, but if you look closely, it seems like he was looking at the moving thing inside her body.

"Can you see it?" Jiang Rong asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Qin Sang nodded, then reached out and touched Jiang Rong's forehead seemingly casually. The cold touch disappeared immediately.

Then a ray of white light emerged from between Jiang Rong's eyebrows and hovered on the tip of Qin Sang's index finger.

He looked like he wanted to escape, but he was firmly held by an invisible energy and couldn't move.

"What the hell is this?"

Jiang Rong only remembered that this thing had popped out of the body of the humanoid orc before.

However, according to the scene she had seen in her dream, this white light should still be a creature from the Blue Planet, but it seemed to have reached some kind of deal with those people.

The main body returned to the sea, but was still smart enough to leave a little bit of it in the orc's body.

I just don't know what it wants to do.

"Part of the planet's consciousness." After observing for a while, Qin Sang calmly pulled out a tiny red thread from its body and put the white light back into Jiang Rong's body.

As the unshakable restraint loosened, the white light instantly and quickly penetrated into Jiang Rong's brow.

Jiang Rong clicked his tongue twice after hearing this, but he did not doubt Qin Sang's explanation at all.

Ever since she listened to Xuan Ling's account of his and Qin Sang's past, the two of them had become like big guys in her mind, the kind that were very powerful and awesome.

If it weren't for that 'accident', they would probably never have met here.

"Why is it following me? Why doesn't it go back to find its true form?"

Jiang Rong asked, but he was still thinking about the words he had seen before.

According to Qin Sang, this thing is part of the planet's consciousness, so why is it mixed up with those people?

"Then only its main body knows. The energy in your body is very weak and has no real self-awareness. It just stays in your body following instinct." Qin Sang did not fully understand the planetary consciousness of this planet, so he only said part of what he could be sure of.

After hearing this, Jiang Rong thought for a while and told Qin Sang everything he had dreamed of.

Qin Sang's eyes fell on Jiang Rong who was telling the story, and he listened quietly.

After Jiang Rong finished speaking, he lowered his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

Jiang Rong waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he thought there were no new clues, so he stopped pursuing it.

Never mind. After the fusion of the spiritual jade is completed and she returns to Beijing, she can bring grandma and the others into the space. Then she won’t be afraid of any extraordinary conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Rong felt a little warm in his heart, and he really wanted to go to Beijing right away.

"Let's go, those guys outside have dispersed, let's go back and check the situation of the base first."

Because the flock of mutant crows in this area had dispersed and was not too far from the base, Jiang Rong and Qin Sang walked back to the base.

However, before leaving the space, Jiang Rong still picked out a set of human clothes for him to wear.

It’s the classic black T-shirt and black pants. Jiang Rong also wears this himself. It is sturdy and stain-resistant.

After returning to the base, there were corpses everywhere, human and mutant crows, piled up layer by layer.

Many of the mutant crows in the sky have dispersed, but there are still many that are circling above and refuse to leave.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of Qin Sang’s presence, those guys never dared to get close. It’s no exaggeration to say that wherever Qin Sang passed, all the mutant crows flew away from them as if they were fleeing from famine.

Jiang Rong led Qin Sang all the way towards the inner circle, and only stopped when they were close to the towering wall of the inner circle, frowning.

The scene before her reminded her of the corpses that were pushed out of the research institute in her previous life.

The huge iron gate was tightly closed from the inside, and the people stranded outside were afraid and fought desperately, and finally died in a pool of blood.

The corpses piled up into a small hill were pecked into irregular pieces by the mutant crows. Some torsos and limbs were half broken, with broken bones but still tendons connected. Some heads fell to the ground, and some bodies were directly pierced into plugs.

"Let's go." Qin Sang's voice was as cold as the snow in the distant mountains.

Jiang Rong only felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and then a slightly cool touch covered her face, blocking her vision.

Then their bodies suddenly felt lighter and the feeling of weightlessness lasted for a moment. When their vision returned, they had already entered the inner area.

Jiang Rong glanced at Qin Sang, who looked calm, and then looked away.

Then, thinking of the corpses outside the door, her eyes grew colder. Whether it was cold-blooded or ruthless, this was indeed the most normal thing after the apocalypse.

The strong prey on the weak.

Everything depends on how hard the hearts of those in power are.

As for her now, her most important task is to go back and find her third uncle Linglan and the others.
