Chapter 98
Skeleton-like outline?
Hearing these words, Wen Xin did not stop for a moment and rushed to the place where the black cracks appeared as quickly as possible.
After the others reacted, they also started running towards the location of the strange phenomenon.
Seeing the young man riding away from them, they couldn't help but shout, "Fuck! That guy runs so fast!"
He disappeared in a flash. He must be a sprint champion.
But why run so fast? The cracks can swallow people, and you don't know whether the person who goes in is dead or alive. If you rush through, are you going to be reincarnated in a hurry?
When they arrived at the place, countless people were stunned.
They couldn't help but raise their heads, not because the crack suddenly ran up to the sky, but so that they could look forward to its seemingly endless end.
The cracks were no longer cracks. They were like two giant black snakes coiled on the desolate land. All the buildings on them disappeared, emitting wisps of dark mist.
Other than that, it was dead silent.
There were no screams of humans, no cries of birds and beasts, no roars of monsters in the cracks, only silence.
It was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
Countless people were silent and alert, hiding a hundred meters away, not daring to take a step forward.
Wen Xin used the trees around the crack as cover and approached quietly.
His movements were very covert, and as it was dark, no one noticed him for a while.
Unfortunately, everyone was paying attention to the crack, and finally someone noticed him.
He discovered that Wen Xin was the same person as the young man running so fast in front of him, and the corner of that person's mouth twitched.
"He really is in a hurry to be reborn."
The leader assigned to the First Base this time is Liu Hongchang, director of the Biochemical Resources Department. He is in his fifties, has gray hair, and wears glasses.
Liu Hongchang was a rather vigilant person, and it was his idea to choose the campsite in the suburbs. Before that, he had people build an observation tower to report the situation to the observatory at any time.
Regardless of the range or frequency of the rift's previous spread, these watchtowers should be safe.
But no one expected that the crack would suddenly erupt this time, almost engulfing half of the city!
The communication was interfered by the magnetic field, the signal was interrupted, and it was impossible to contact the people originally in the sentry tower.
Liu Hongchang had a gloomy face as he listened to the discussion of the crowd. He raised his eyes and noticed Wen Xin.
The captain of the guard also saw the people and was about to speak out to stop them, but Liu Hongchang raised his hand to stop him.
Liu Hongchang stared at the figure moving forward with the look of a lab rat: "Let him go first. If he is not in any trouble, then let our people approach."
Many people around had the same idea. Their eyes followed Wen Xin all the way to the edge of the crack, holding their breath.
...It seems that nothing unusual has occurred.
So it's safe for now?
Wen Xin was not overwhelmed by his emotions. The two balls in his backpack told him that everything was fine. He looked around again and again and saw that no one was approaching or trying to stop him before he started to dive.
Looking down from a high place, it seems as if a layer of fog covers it. It is impossible to see the depth of the crack or what is inside. All you can see is thick darkness.
Wen Xin looked around, searching for the rock layer that looked like a skeleton. At this moment, the two balls in the backpack issued a warning at the same time.
"No, Wen Xin, get out of the way!" "Something has woken up!"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Xin's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.
The biting coldness penetrated into the nerve centers of the other people present like a long whip, going all the way up to the spinal cord, causing cold sweats to break out on their backs.
The earth began to shake again, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. The last tremor was completely different from this one.
The buildings on the ground, along with all the people, were like lonely leaves swaying in the wind and rain, rocking back and forth, shaking the vision, and there was never a moment when the feet were firmly on the ground.
Screams, cries for help, and shouts came one after another.
The change happened very quickly, leaving Wen Xin no room to escape, so he subconsciously clung to the rock at the edge of the crack.
He could clearly feel that he was at the center of the earthquake, but strangely, he did not feel much pressure.
Until the two cracks began to change again.
Instead of spreading outward, they all moved in sync toward the middle section of the road.
Wen Xin was still looking for the skeleton a moment ago. In less than a few breaths, the rock layer was like a wall broken by a huge hammer. Huge pieces of rocks fell down rapidly, and the outline of the skeleton was clearly exposed to everyone's eyes.
It revealed its hill-like spine, distinct ribs, and a hollow and huge chest cavity.
The shaking slowly stopped, but some of the gravel on the skeleton was still falling down, and its outline became clearer and clearer, as if this majestic body was waking up.
As soon as people came to their senses, they saw such a magnificent wonder. Their faces were blank, as if they had lost their voices, and they kept repeating two words: "Oh my God, what is that...?"
The thick and long tail seemed to extend to the horizon, and it was impossible to measure its terrifying length with the human eye.
A huge and ferocious head was held high in the air. Although the eye sockets of the skeleton were empty, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were looking upwards majestically and darkly, making people feel cold all over.
Some have seen specimens of the living fossil on display in museums, while others may have known it from reading picture books in childhood.
It was a dinosaur, the top predator in the tyrannosaurid family, Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Even though it has changed slightly from what people remember, with longer front legs that can touch the ground and wing-like bulges on its back, most people can recognize it immediately.
But where in the world could such a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex come from? It wasn't even a pure Tyrannosaurus Rex, it was a mutated monster!
Everyone was still in shock and unable to recover, and the two dumplings fell silent without knowing when.
Wen Xin felt a palpitation in his heart and subconsciously lowered his head, lying on the ground and looking into the eyes of the corpse.
The pair of pitch-black eye sockets seemed to be burning with a faint golden flame.
In a trance, it seemed as if a huge black soul emerged from the corpse and approached him.
It approached in an instant, and there was no time to dodge. Its majestic figure looked even more terrifying as it approached.
Wen Xin closed his eyes subconsciously until he felt a soft, warm and wet touch on his forehead.
Someone was sticking out his tongue and licking him gently.
Wen Xin closed his eyes quickly.
The huge soul stared at him quietly with a pair of golden pupils. It was calm, reserved, and its eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Little... Black...?"
Wen Xin stood up excitedly and stretched out his hand to touch it, but his palm only grabbed a handful of cold air.
There was a burst of chaotic shouting behind him, and the instruments brought from the First Base started to act crazy. The data jumped up one level at a time, and the red warning lights flashed non-stop. The scientific researchers who were debugging were all going crazy.
"Why did an energy fusion reaction suddenly occur? The value is rising and breaking through the maximum threshold!"
"The magnetic field has been disturbed, the equipment has malfunctioned and cannot be shut down!"
"Check if the skeleton is the cause of the problem!"
No one noticed the soul floating in the air, as if it was something that only Wen Xin could see.
Seeing that Wen Xin was fine, Liu Hongchang ordered other researchers to go forward and investigate the situation.
However, this action seemed to have touched a switch, and the air above, separated by two black cracks, began to fluctuate strangely.
The waves gathered and turned into a tangible vortex. Countless people's faces changed suddenly and they shouted, "Retreat!"
However, the vortex did not swallow people like before, but instead spit out something.
The bloody humanoid fell to the ground, stirring up dust.
The others looked nervous and on high alert.
Until a scream came.
A woman rushed out from the crowd, shouting someone's name and running towards the bloody man excitedly.
The bloody man on the ground seemed to hear the call and moved twice with difficulty. When he raised his head, his pupils dilated and then shrank into a small dot.
"Don't come over here! Get away!"
The bloody man stood up quickly, and as he was still frightened, a flame appeared in his palm and hit the woman.
The flame was not big and the speed was not fast. The woman dodged it and, like everyone else present, stared at the bloody man's palm with wide eyes.
An orange-red flame appeared above the palm of his hand, and gradually condensed into two larger fireballs. The glittering flames made Liu Hongchang, who was not far away, stare blankly.
There was no spray gun, and the blood man was not wearing any other devices.
The flame appeared out of nowhere on his palm!
Liu Hongchang was so excited that his face was trembling. He immediately gave the order: "Get ready, we must catch that person, quickly!"
But the appearance of the bloody man is just the beginning.
The vortex spun again, and this time the people who fell out were much more ferocious.
He had an untidy beard, messy hair that almost covered his entire face, and ragged clothes, looking like a refugee fleeing famine.
But no one would underestimate him.
People stared at the purple-white lightning surrounding the "refugees" and were deeply shocked.
The crowd burst into shock again: "I know him, isn't he Zhang Dabing who was swallowed by the rift before? It's been more than three months, and he's still alive? And he even has supernatural powers?"
Superpowers? Yes...
People finally realized that being able to control fire and thunder is a supernatural power!
The vortex never stopped spinning, and people who had gone missing as the cracks expanded were thrown out one by one.
They looked dazed and kept glancing around, with a look of bewilderment on their faces, as if they were in another world.
Bang!
The First Base militants opened fire.
Amid the gunfire, some people fell down because they couldn't react in time, while others quickly dodged but were covered by the open electric grid. Their bodies trembled, their eyes rolled back, and they passed out.
The original crowd looked at the person in charge of the First Base in astonishment, not understanding why he suddenly ordered an attack.
Liu Hongchang took the initiative and said in a deep voice: "Don't you know the situation? These are the people who disappeared earlier! They have superpowers, which means they are no longer normal people. It is even unknown whether they are human. We must take action first to ensure everyone's safety!"
Before he finished speaking, a sharp rebuke came over: "No, I'm still a human!"
Everyone looked over at the same time. A man who had just fallen out of the whirlpool tried his best to explain: "Wang Da, I'm Chen San! We fought zombies together and agreed to be brothers for life. Have you forgotten? We all woke up after entering the black rift..."
Bang.
Gunshots were heard, but this time it was not a single shot.
The man who was refuting the claim had blood gushing out of his abdomen, and he stared at Liu Hongchang in disbelief, who had a gloomy face.
He didn't understand why his confession would lead to his death.
The corpse slowly fell down with its eyes open. The man he had called Wang Da stood up and went crazy because his friend was suddenly killed: "Director Liu, what are you doing?!"
In addition to the mercenaries and explorers summoned by the First Base, and a small number of people who took advantage of the situation, there was actually another group of people here.
Their relatives and friends were swallowed up by the black crack, but they refused to believe that the people were dead. They stayed around the crack unwillingly, hoping to see the people alive or the bodies if they were dead, stubbornly clinging to that shaky hope.
Now, the people who were in danger of life and death finally survived the rift, but died at the hands of the First Foundation.
Wang Da couldn't understand, let alone accept it. He wanted to rush over in grief and anger, but was stopped by his companions who covered their mouths.
One of them turned around and said with an apologetic smile: "Director Liu, we had to take emergency measures. That person looked abnormal and he deserved to be killed. We all understand, so you..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
Because of Liu Hongchang's creepy look.
The base has been researching for so long, but has never been able to overcome the problem of genetic disorder. These people who suddenly appeared have extraordinary abilities.
Liu Hongchang: "Kill them all. Don't let the news get out."
One of the mercenaries reacted quickly and shot Liu Hongchang.
But the bullet was raised the moment the other party gave the order, and the bullet was blocked, creating intense sparks on the shield.
No one expected that the friendly and helpful First Base would suddenly reveal its ugly and vicious side and attack others.
One side is fully equipped and well-armed, while the other side can only carry a □□ at best.
The disparity in strength made the battle one-sided and tragic.
In the chaos, someone suddenly had an idea and asked, "The dead man mentioned awakening from the rift. Does that mean he gained super powers from the rift?"
A word can wake up the dreamer!
Liu Hongchang, representing the First Base, wanted to monopolize the secret of how humans could acquire superpowers, so he turned those who knew the secret into dead people.
But there are always people who are smart and can figure out the key from his sudden action.
"Run towards the crack, and save as many people as you can! After you gain the power, come out and kill these bastards!!"
"Everyone, charge!"
The surviving survivors rushed towards the crack in the flames of war, but when they were about to step into it, they suddenly stopped.
The dark and bottomless crack was like a dangerous abyss. The huge skeleton still held its head high. The invisible pressure fell on everyone's heart, making people tremble with fear and give rise to the urge to escape.
Until someone took a leap forward.
People are familiar with the young man.
There was news that skeletons had been found in the rock layers, and he was in the lead.
When everyone was stunned by the strange phenomenon, he was the first to quietly approach the edge of the rift.
He didn't seem to have much of a presence. The appearance of dinosaur skeletons and people with special powers overturned people's three perspectives, so that after he walked on the edge, no one paid attention to him anymore.
But at this moment, the young man who stepped into the crack without hesitation was like a weather vane in a storm.
People found the backbone and shouted: "Follow him!"
Liu Hongchang shouted: "Stop them!"
The sound of gunfire and artillery fire fell like raindrops, and corpses fell down in large numbers. However, some people managed to escape in the chaos and caught up with Wen Xin's back.
The black cracks embraced all living things that came near, equally and quietly swallowing up every living thing that approached.
The people who entered were like entering a different space, and their figures suddenly disappeared into the air.
Under the dense firepower network of the First Base, the edge of the crack was covered with blood and corpses.
The news seemed to be blocked temporarily, but Liu Hongchang looked very ugly.
Under the indiscriminate attack, the armed personnel did not have time to take away the unconscious special ability users, and many were accidentally injured and killed, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of experimental subjects they could study.
And those who entered the rift and threatened to come out and kill them...
“How many of them were not able to be stopped?”
"About, about seven or eight..."
"Waste! A bunch of waste!"
Liu Hongchang punched the jagged instrument and said, "Gather a team immediately. We must get in too!"
No one noticed that a reconnaissance drone was quietly parked at the corner of a distant building, with a silvery light passing across its lens.
On the other side of the receiving screen, the adjutant looked at the man who suddenly held his chest and said, "Sir?"
Wen Jinfeng stood up and kept massaging his temples.
He remained calm when he saw the First Base suddenly start an attack, but his right eyelid started twitching wildly when that figure came into view.
Recalling the thin figure swallowed by the crack, the ominous premonition lingered in my heart, becoming stronger and stronger.
Wen Jinfeng stopped and said to himself, "It shouldn't be him. He said he would stay in the southern region for a few months."
adjutant:"?"
"It's okay." Wen Jinfeng regained his solemn expression in a flash, squinted his eyes and said, "The moment of human evolution has come, and the answer is in the black rift in G City - let someone spread this news immediately."
The adjutant's eyes widened in astonishment: "Sir, how did you know...?"
The drone could only receive images but could not hear those people talking or shouting. He still hadn't figured out what was going on.
Wen Jinfeng waved his hand: "Just pass it on, and make sure to notify all the survivors' bases as quickly as possible."
The adjutant suppressed his shock and nodded.
Wen Jinfeng continued to stare at the camera, his eyes dark and deep: "The First Base..."
This gift will definitely surprise you.
.
Wen Xing had just entered a very mysterious state.
The black soul wrapped around him like a barrier, protecting him from harm in the war.
But at the same time, it also blocked out the surrounding sounds, leaving only some tiny fragments flashing before my eyes.
When he came to his senses, the other survivors had already rushed to him under the pressure of the First Base.
Wen Xin took in the hesitant expressions of those people.
Following those lines of sight towards the crack, he instantly realized what they were hesitating about.
Wen Xin looked back in the direction of the First Base. Corpses were piled up like a hill. Defeat was inevitable.
He closed his eyes, and the moment he confirmed that Xiao Hei was in the crack, he felt determined.
So Wen Xin protected the backpack with two balls in it and walked away resolutely.
The scene before my eyes changed rapidly.
After a dizzy spell, Wen Xin opened his eyes.
Before opening his eyes, he had made certain mental assumptions about his own situation, so when he opened his eyes to see different environments, he could remain calm for a moment.
Bright incandescent lights, silvery-white alloy walls, and all kinds of strange electronic devices placed in the room...
Wen Xin suddenly found that he could not feel any weight on his shoulders. The military backpack containing the dumplings was missing!
He looked back quickly and noticed that he was wearing a white coat.
Then, a dozen incubators were arranged at a distance and appeared in front of Wen Xin.
But those incubators do not contain babies, but eggs of different colors.
