377 Heart

◎This road may lead to the heart◎

Bone marrow is the human's hematopoietic tissue. Judging from the current number of contaminated spores, the giantess's hematopoietic system is functioning normally.

Pei Shu was the guide, and his best skill was remembering the way. Although he had not experienced Utopia in its entirety, Zhu Ning said that he had reached the vicinity of Utopia by jumping from the sky gate.

This was not a coincidence or good luck at all. It was because the brain bones were connected to the spine. He had read a horror comic before, which had a scene where if you turned a person's head around, the spine would be pulled out together.

Although this scene is not scientific, it is correct to some extent. The side view of the spine is a curved, long strip composed of vertebrae, with a head on top.

They just followed the veins and walked to the corresponding position.

What about the heart? Where is a beating heart?

Could it be that what Liu Yu wanted Lu Yuan to find was the giant's heart?

Pei Shu sketched the image of the female giant in his mind. It was a little abstract before, but now it is gradually becoming concrete, as if she is really in the body of a giant. Wait, Pei Shu suddenly thought of something, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.

Lin Xiaofeng noticed that Pei Shu was acting strangely. She didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt that his actions were very abrupt.

Lin Xiaofeng followed Pei Shu's gaze and suddenly understood. He was looking at Zhu Ning, or to be more precise, at the black slime.

After they left, the contaminated spores began to fly again, filling the hole that Zhu Ning had swallowed. Zhu Ning's figure was not very clear, but they could clearly see the black slime crawling out from the back of her neck.

The black mucus was asphalt-like and now condensed into a huge human figure. Against the backdrop of the contaminated spores, it looked like it was stained with blood. It was like Zhu Ning's shadow projected on the wall, and even more like a giant standing behind Zhu Ning.

The giant guards Zhu Ning and checks and balances him.

It was because he recognized that what he was stepping on was the skeleton of a giant that he could hardly help but imagine that the soul of this female giant was now in Zhu Ning.

Along the way, they rarely participated in the discussion about whether Zhu Ning was a true god or a devil.

Only occasionally, for example, when the polluted area was purified or when the tadpole mole was formed, countless alien species would appear, which was so eerie and terrifying.

But these times were very short. Most of the time, Zhu Ning was normal, more normal than anyone else.

She mobilized the team atmosphere, analyzed the current situation, and issued instructions, and every step was rational.

But they all remembered that there was a black system in Zhu Ning's mind. Zhu Yao combined pollutants and machinery, and no one knew where the pollutants in Zhu Ning's mind came from.

Since we know that the world is a female giant, this speculation needs to be taken a step further. Which part of the female giant does Zhu Ning's system come from?

The Alpha series experiments have been closed. Among so many test subjects, only Zhu Ning succeeded. What was the factor behind his success?

Pei Shu had a bad guess in his mind. This was not only about retracing Liu Yu's path and uncovering the secrets of the Kingdom of God, but also uncovering the secrets of Zhu Ning as he moved forward step by step.

The black slime was shrinking, like an inflated balloon slowly collapsing, and they could not see the complete shrinkage process.

Lin Xiaofeng hesitated, not knowing whether he should walk over to Zhu Ning. They were quite far apart. Zhu Ning stood up, rubbed the back of her neck, and was talking to Bai Cheng with her head down.

What are they talking about?

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but think of going to Zhu Ning. Just as she took a step forward, before her foot touched the ground, Pei Shu suddenly pulled her shoulder and said, "Wait."

Lin Xiaofeng was startled and lowered his head to find that he almost stepped out of the range of the bones. Because of the contaminated spores, people could not see the road clearly when walking.

If I walk outside the bones, will it trigger the rules of the contaminated zone?

She has been walking along the bones. This is not a flat place, and you can't just walk here.

Although I don’t know the specific pollution rules, it’s better to be cautious.

Pei Shu was as anxious as Lin Xiaofeng, "Let's wait for them to come."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, wanting to convey a message to Zhu Ning, asking her not to make a mistake, but he also thought that Bai Cheng was by Zhu Ning's side, so he must be more experienced and would not make such a mistake.

Lin Xiaofeng had too many thoughts in his mind and found himself completely confused. What was Zhu Ning talking about with Bai Cheng?

Zhu Ning didn't seem to have any problems and walked at a leisurely pace. Lin Xiaofeng felt anxious seeing her walking so slowly.

After a long time, Zhu Ning finally arrived like an inspecting superior, and Bai Cheng behind her looked like the secretary she brought with her.

Pei Shu was very curious about Zhu Ning's body, but he was a man. If he rashly pushed Bai Cheng aside to take a look, it would be a heinous act and he would definitely be strangled to death by Zhu Ning.

Bai Cheng could see it clearly from his angle. The cracks in Zhu Ning's spine were emitting blood. Black mucus gathered on the bones, staining them black. The blood spread out in the form of threads. Fortunately, the surrounding area was filled with the red light of contaminated spores, so it was not very abrupt.

Zhu Ning hadn't revealed any secrets just now. He just looked at me with a loving expression and said, "You'll help me, right?"

Bai Cheng, a plastic man, got goose bumps all over his body. He couldn't stand it. He had helped her cover it up once before, so he was very skilled this time. He changed the subject and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Pei Shu gave up the idea of ​​looking at the back of Zhu Ning's neck. No one would know unless Zhu Ning said it. "This is the bone marrow. The contaminated spores seem to be blood. Oh, and don't go to other areas besides the bones. It could be dangerous."

Pei Shu hadn't tried it, but he still came up with a rule that wasn't very reliable.

He roughly recounted his findings. Reporting information was almost instinctive. After he finished speaking, he observed Zhu Ning's reaction. She didn't react much and was not shocked at all.

"So everything is connected." Zhu Ning said calmly, "We arrived in the forest from the sky gate, met Zhou Haiqing, from the forest to Utopia, and from Utopia to..."

Zhu Ning paused, unsure of how to name this place. He looked around and said, "Bone marrow?"

Pei Shu was actually thinking that Zhu Ning was quite rational and could think logically, which was a good thing.

Zhu Ning asked, "Have you discovered anything else? For example, what kind of creatures are here?"

Some universal laws remain unchanged. The uterus is a basking shark, and what is the skeleton? Zhu Ning could only think of the giant blue whale, which is also a sea creature.

"I'm not sure. I didn't go any further because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to come back." Pei Shu asked, "Should we find a way to leave a message?"

Pei Shu had an occupational disease, so he naturally wanted to leave a mark to facilitate the entry of the subsequent investigation team.

"No need," Zhu Ning said, "I suspect the people of God's Country know this place. At least someone else has been here before."

The Kingdom of God has always had more information than them, even decades earlier. The people at the bottom were so stupid that they thought the information they discovered was some great secret to save the world, but in the eyes of the people in the Kingdom of God, it was just common sense of the world.

Pei Shu: "Did Liu Yu really leave any weapons for the young lady to fight back?"

Zhu Ning asked, "What do you want to say?"

Pei Shu: "What Liu Yu left behind may be an important clue about the world."

Did Liu Yu come alone or in a team? Pei Shu was inclined to believe it was a team. After all, walking outside the wall, no matter how powerful one was, it was not safe to be alone. Moreover, if one person died, there would always be others to pass on the news.

So who are the members of this team? They need powerful psychics and top scientists. Back then, this group of people must have grasped the lifeblood of the Federation.

Maybe they discovered something, and finally Liu Yu returned to the kingdom of God.

And it was not forced, but a voluntary sacrifice. At the beginning, she might really have thought that returning to God's Kingdom would be helpful to the whole world.

"For example...how to save the world?" Pei Shu expressed his guess, a little unsure.

From the perspective of the Kingdom of God, what they do to humans in other regions is not oppression, but sacrificing a part of the people for the common interests of all mankind.

The same is true for Lu Yuan created by the Kingdom of God. The first-class citizens have not forgotten their mission, and they have made a lot of efforts to find a way out for mankind.

If Lu Yuan really wants to steer the new human race, he must understand how the world works as a whole.

Zhu Ning nodded: "That makes sense."

Zhu Ning agreed too quickly, which Pei Shu wasn't used to. He felt like something was missing. Suddenly, Bai Cheng said, "Look, the contaminated spores are still flowing."

She pointed in a direction as she spoke. They had observed before that the contaminated spores would flow back when they reached a certain height. A single sample was inaccurate. Bai Cheng had made special observations along the way and found that the flow direction was fixed.

Bai Cheng's words diverted their attention. Pei Shu said, "The contaminated spores here have a regular flow pattern, which proves one thing."

Bai Cheng: "Bound by pollution source rules."

The contaminated spores in the bone marrow are not wild, but are constantly generated, which is why they present a very strange scene. They are completely different from the contaminated spores in the outside world and can only float to a certain height.

They were all experienced guides, and they spoke in unison. Bai Cheng continued, "This road isn't straight, but rather undulating. There's even a curved path, like going up and down a slope."

This further confirms the skeleton speculation. After all, the human skeleton cannot be as flat as a steel bar.

Pei Shu: "I'd like to make a bold guess. If the hematopoietic system is still functioning, in a normal human body, where does the blood flow?"

Zhu Ning replied naturally: "Heart."

Pei Shu didn't say anything else. This guess came to his mind naturally after he discovered the bone marrow. This was what Zhu Ning said himself.

Zhu Ning didn't feel anything when she said it, and her emotions were even a little delayed. Of course, she could sense other people's gazes, and her three teammates were looking at her.

Zhu Ning had experienced this several times, so he was very calm about what he was.

First, I knew that I was an artificial human, and then I knew that Zhu Yao was a researcher. It was very likely that my memories of the zombie world were fake.

It's quite interesting. Zhu Ning has never deliberately looked for the so-called past, but these clues popped up like mushrooms after rain, constantly attracting her attention.

This road may lead to the heart, Zhu Ning thought of this word.

She naturally recalled Zhu Yao, when Zhu Yao came to pick her up and they stood under the shade of a tree. The sun was so warm, and she squatted down and looked Zhu Ning in the eye. She once said to herself so seriously, "I think you have a strong heart."

…

A secret experimental base.

Zhu Yao has been here for a long time. Her daily schedule is very simple: practicing shooting, reading, and chatting with Chu Qing.

Chu Qing persevered, believing that as long as she worked hard, she could melt the iceberg-like Zhu Yao, and even accompanied Zhu Yao to the shooting range for practice.

No matter how tight-lipped someone is, they will eventually loosen up. Chu Qing never understood why Zhu Yao said the Alpha series was a mistake. What were her feelings towards Zhu Ning?

If she was just being used as an experimental subject, then why would Zhu Yao want to learn shooting? She didn't even have any talent for it.

Chu Qing knew that he was naturally cold and had little humanity in him. If he had not been a researcher, he might have become a criminal, but this did not mean that he did not understand human emotions.

Zhu Yao's behavior is very direct. It is a kind of active understanding, as if as a mother, she really wants to understand her daughter's world.

Zhu Yao remained silent, but Chu Qing had his own way of finding the truth. Anything that had happened would have clues. Even those people back then couldn't have left no traces, especially since Zhu Yao was conducting research at Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. Sure enough, he found it.

Today he visited Zhu Yao again. Zhu Yao was still in the same posture, leaning against the fireplace reading a book, which had not changed from beginning to end, as if he had been sitting here for tens of thousands of years, watching the changes in the world with cold eyes.

Zhu Yao is a little old, and the years have left their marks on her body. Unlike the people in the Divine Country who take good care of themselves, she already has a few white hairs and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

This is the normal appearance of people of this age. The age of the people in the Kingdom of God cannot be seen. Zhu Yao has not resisted aging, but let it happen naturally.

Zhu Yao didn't even raise his eyelids, turned a page of the book, and greeted: "Good evening."

After spending so much time together, they were already very familiar with each other. Chu Qing: "Good evening."

Chu Qing pulled out a chair and sat opposite Zhu Yao. In front of them was a low coffee table with almost no coffee left on it.

Zhu Yao's expression was cold, but Chu Qing couldn't hide her excitement: "I found your flaw."

Zhu Yao said "oh" and didn't care.

Whether Chu Qing threatened her or interrogated her, it was as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Chu Qing was used to Zhu Yao's indifference and didn't feel left out. He pushed aside the empty coffee cup and placed the documents on the low coffee table, displaying them openly. He stared at Zhu Yao's face, afraid to miss any subtle expression, and got straight to the point: "Do you have anything to say about this?"

Zhu Yao slowly raised her eyes, probably guessing that Chu Qing must have found some key clue to come over, but she was rarely stunned. There was an old photo on the table, which she hadn't seen for a long time.

It was a team of six, and the photo was taken just before they set off. The background was blurred and it was not clear where the photo was taken. The faces of the other people were ignored. Chu Qing's attention was attracted by two of the women. They were standing very close to each other in the first row, both wearing black protective suits.

The helmet was held in his hand, revealing a clear face. The one on the left was Zhu Yao. When she was young, her temperament was not so gentle and calm, but more ambitious, as if she was confident enough to change the world.

The young Zhu Yao and Zhu Ning looked very similar, and their eyes were very bright. Chu Qing knew at first glance that they were mother and daughter.

The people around Zhu Yao are very eye-catching. They are so beautiful that normal people passing by will take a second look at them. Their facial features are so eye-catching.

Liu Yu was rarely photographed, and there was little relevant information in the media. The Lu family also deliberately deleted relevant information, but Chu Qing, as a citizen of the Divine Country, was deeply impressed by this face.

After all, Liu Yu is the most perfect natural person in the hearts of the people of God's country, representing the best genes of so-called natural selection.

Chu Qing: "You and Liu Yu were teammates."

Zhu Yao maintained her original posture, her gaze lingering on the photo for a long time, as if lost in her own memories, and did not refute this statement.
