"You two can divide this giant alien rat. I won't."
"Ah? This is the prey you killed. Are you going to give it all to us?"
"I did kill him, but he was not my prey."
After saying this, Lin Zichen turned and walked towards Shen Qinghan to see how serious He Yu's injuries were.
The injury has basically stabilized.
That broken arm, I'm afraid it can't be restored.
From now on, I can only be a one-armed man.
As for becoming a cyborg... the risk is too high.
The genetic structure in the body of a gene fusion patient is very complex and has a strong rejection rate.
Mechanical modifications are too risky.
Basically not worth it.
"Zi Chen, I really envy you for being so strong."
"If I were as strong as you, I wouldn't be afraid of being bitten by a mere ordinary giant alien rat."
"Weakness is the original sin..."
He Yu looked at Lin Zichen in front of him and laughed at himself with a wry smile.
When he first entered high school, he often pretended to be cool in front of Lin Zichen, always thinking about how to show off his awesomeness inadvertently.
Unexpectedly, after only four years, the gap between them has become so huge.
One is the first student of Shandong University.
A creature's level has just reached ordinary level five.
It's really sad.
Lin Zichen knew that He Yu was making fun of himself, so he didn't agree with him.
He just said calmly, "Don't think too much. Take care of your injuries. When this is over, the four of us will have a meal together."
Soon, after his wounds were urgently treated, He Yu was taken away by the field doctor.
Lin Zichen didn't stay long. He turned around and left with Shen Qinghan to wipe out the giant alien rats.
As the two of them went deeper towards the scarlet giant tree.
The scenes we saw along the way became increasingly bloody.
I saw quite a few people lying on the ground.
They were all incomplete corpses.
There are many familiar faces among them.
There was an opponent I met when I was in the first grade of junior high school in the eight-school league - Gao Fei.
Gao Fei was a talented student in the junior high school of Shanhai No. 1 Middle School. He could sprint 100 meters in just 9 seconds.
I went to Shanhai University and was a junior in the College of Evolution.
Now, his body has been eaten by giant alien rats, leaving only the upper half, and his life has been left on the battlefield forever.
There is also Huang Jiamin, who cheated on her boyfriend nine times, and a senior who likes to bully freshmen by relying on her status as a senior, and then was beaten up by Lin Zichen and brought justice to her.
Now only the head of this senior sister is left on the ground, and her body has been eaten by the giant alien rat.
Beside her head, her brother Huang Jiarui knelt and cried bitterly, while her ex-boyfriend Yan Liang, who had been cuckolded by her nine times, stood there silently, feeling mixed emotions.
Except for these two people.
There was also Lu Qizhi, a freshman in the gifted class and the strongest college entrance examination champion in the history of Yuntian Province, who also died tragically in the mouth of a giant alien rat.
There is also Zhu Shishi from the Mecha God Group, a female mechanical cyborg who had participated in special military training with Lin Zichen and also died on this battlefield.
There was also a mentor at the Evolution College of Shanhai University, Wu Tiancheng, who was the strongest person in the history of Shanhai Middle School. He also died at this moment, killed by a giant alien rat that was more than ten meters long.
When the person was taken out of the rat's stomach, he had been corroded beyond recognition and died in a very tragic way.
Lin Zichen was very surprised to see Wu Tiancheng's body.
This mentor Wu is an advanced creature.
He actually died in the belly of a giant alien rat.
It's a bit unbelievable.
The other side.
When Shen Qinghan saw so many people die tragically, the expression on her pretty face looked very unhappy.
She had expected heavy casualties.
But when I saw it with my own eyes, the visual impact was still too great.
Deep down, it was hard to accept for a while.
"Lin Zi, so many people died..."
Shen Qinghan said in a low voice, feeling very uncomfortable.
Lin Zichen felt unhappy, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "This is unavoidable. You'll just have to get used to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure approached.
It is the former president of the Student Union - Zhou Xuehong.
At this time, his body was covered with scars, some of which had healed, while others were still bleeding.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had just ended not long ago.
"Lin Zichen, looking at the corpses scattered all around, can you understand why I want to turn this school into an environment where the strong prey on the weak?"
Zhou Xuehong panted and looked at Lin Zichen sharply.
Before Lin Zichen could answer, he continued, "Because the disaster is cruel and the environment is extremely harsh."
"If I don't take advantage of these four years of university to endure hardships and cultivate a strong will, then going to the battlefield after graduation will be almost like going to the execution ground, and death is almost certain."
Zhou Xuehong continued, "Many people didn't have to die in today's rat plague."
"It was because his mental state was so poor that when he saw the dense swarm of rats, his legs weakened and he couldn't exert his full strength, which led to his own death."
"And this is just one rat plague on Earth, a minor one."
"If we were to leave it at the source, the beast tide we would face would be a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times more brutal than it is now!"
"And you, who have never entered the source area to resist the beast tide, know nothing!"
"He only knows how to be youthful and frivolous, and only knows how to show off in front of his peers to satisfy his insignificant vanity!"
By the end, Zhou Xuehong's voice had become louder and full of accusations.
Zhou Xuehong knew that he was not as strong as Lin Zichen.
However, he will still stick to the ideas that should be stuck to.
He wanted to take advantage of today's situation to leave Lin Zichen with no way to refute and prove that his approach was right.
Facing these aggressive words, Lin Zichen simply said calmly: "The will is not tempered in the way you do. Your approach will only push people into the arms of paganism."
"Oh, you're really tough."
Zhou Xuehong sneered.
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang".
Zhou Xuehong, who was standing the moment before, fell heavily to the ground the next moment.
He pressed his face tightly against the ground, unable to move.
The sudden biological pressure pressed Zhou Xuehong to the ground from top to bottom.
The pressure made him almost unable to breathe and his face turned red.
"With your strength, where does the confidence come from to jump up and down in front of me?"
Lin Zichen looked down at Zhou Xuehong lying on the ground and spoke to him expressionlessly.
Vice President Tan Wanyi was not far away.
Seeing that the two of them had started fighting for some reason, she quickly came over to persuade them: "Don't do this, you two. The situation now is special. If there are any conflicts, it won't be too late to resolve them after it's over."
Lin Zichen didn't even glance at Tan Wanyi. He just looked at Zhou Xuehong indifferently and said, "If it happens again, be prepared to stay in the hospital for half a year."
Just leave this sentence.
Lin Zichen withdrew the biological pressure he had released and continued to walk deeper with Shen Qinghan.
He doesn't know whether Zhou Xuehong is a bad person or not.
He only knew that he completely disagreed with the philosophy that this person held.
…
As time goes by.
About an hour later.
The giant alien rats had been killed and defeated, with only a small number left hiding in the surrounding ruins, not daring to come out at all.
The victorious human side began to clean up the battlefield and count casualties.
A small group of people escorted several xenobotanists to the scarlet giant tree to find out what was going on.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan are also members of the escort team.
In addition to this prospective couple with a high biological level, people with a slightly lower biological level such as Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan were also there.
"Sister Yan, is the injury on your hand okay?"
Shen Qinghan looked at Song Yuyan's injured arm and said with a worried voice.
Song Yuyan waved her arm and said with a relaxed look: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, it will be healed in a few days."
After she finished speaking, she turned to worry and said, "Weiwei was seriously injured in this rat plague. A giant alien rat bit her waist and abdomen. The wound looks seriously infected. I hope she's okay."
While the two were talking, Lin Zichen remained silent all the time.
At this moment, he was thinking about the three-eyed demon he had encountered before.
Several hours have passed since the giant scarlet tree appeared.
During this period, apart from a large number of giant strange rats that gnawed on anything they saw, there was only this one three-eyed demon.
This was the second time he had seen such a humanoid creature from the origin.
The first person I met was the fox-eared girl Su Jiujiu.
He was very interested in this humanoid creature from the origin that could speak.
In other words, very vigilant.
Whether it is Su Jiujiu or the Three-Eyed Demon, the strength they have demonstrated far exceeds that of non-humanoid Origin creatures, and they pose a huge threat.
Not long.
The group came to the vicinity of the giant scarlet tree.
Looking at this towering plant that is over a thousand meters tall and stretches as far as the eye can see, everyone feels shocked.
Such a tall plant was completely beyond their understanding.
"A few of you will accompany the professors to study the strange plant. The rest of you will follow me to explore the cave."
A male mechanical modified human whose body is covered with alloy, with a somewhat magnetic voice.
He is a senior officer in the military district headquarters.
Personal strength is infinitely close to the rare level.
It can be said that he is the strongest among all the people present.
At least that's what it seems on the surface.
Under his leadership, except for the dozen or so people who went to study the scarlet giant tree, the rest of the people followed to explore the cave.
It’s called exploration, but in fact it’s just guarding around the cave and watching the mechanically modified people release exploration robots into the cave.
Then they all stood still, staring at the shared images projected by the mechanically transformed people.
"My dear man, look at me."
Lu Qingyu took the initiative to walk to Lin Zichen and enthusiastically shared with him the exploration footage of the exploration robot he was controlling.
Hearing the word "male god", Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan were very surprised.
This mechanical genius girl who looks so cold and aloof actually called Lin Zichen her "male god" in public?
Zichen is so charming...
Liu Chuanwu and Song Yuyan felt emotional at the same time.
Lin Zichen, who was being lamented, was now concentrating on watching the shared screen projected by Lu Qingyu, fearing that he would miss any details.
The cave is very large, with a diameter of more than ten meters.
It’s also very deep.
The exploration robot has gone thousands of meters deep and still has not reached the bottom.
“It’s so deep.”
Shen Qinghan on the side couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Qingyu also said, "It's very strange. We're clearly thousands of meters deep, but the temperature we detected is the same as the normal temperature on the ground."
Lin Zichen didn't say anything, just stared at the shared screen, observing the cave in the picture.
Focus on observing the cave walls.
He found the cave walls to be unnatural, covered with plant roots that served to reinforce the cave.
The roots grow in a very regular pattern, one after another, woven together like a net.
In addition, the cave walls are inlaid with a large number of dark blue crystals.
These dark blue crystals hidden under the roots of plants constantly emit wisps of mist that are invisible to the naked eye.
If nothing unexpected happens, it must be these dark blue crystals that keep the bottomless cave at a constant temperature.
What a magical crystal! It can even be used as an air conditioner. I wonder if it's an evolutionary resource...
Lin Zichen murmured to himself and began to think about the dark blue crystal deep in the cave.
"No, it's too deep. The depth of this cave is far beyond the robot's detection range. Detection is impossible."
Lu Qingyu said with a slight frown.
The same was true for the other mechanical humans around them without exception.
These caves that suddenly appeared on the ground were incredibly deep and could not be explored at all.
"Professor Gao, how's your research going?"
The senior officer from the military headquarters gave up exploring the cave and turned to look at an old man who was studying the giant scarlet tree in front and asked.
Professor Gao shook his head and sighed, "The research isn't very good. This plant is too strange. I've never seen a scarlet plant that can grow over a thousand meters tall, or even anything like it."
After hearing this answer, everyone present was at a loss for a moment.
The cave cannot be explored.
The Scarlet Giant Tree couldn't research anything either.
The rat infestation was also dealt with.
Suddenly, it seemed like there was nothing to do.
In response, someone suggested: "Why don't we evacuate first? The people here have already been evacuated safely."
Someone responded, "I also think it's better to retreat first. Temporarily seal off this place and wait for the strong men to return before letting them deal with it."
Senior officer: "That's all we can do."
After some calculation.
Everyone present felt that it would be better to retreat first, as there was no need to stay and increase the risk.
After all, everyone's strength is not high, and there is not even a rare-level strongman.
There's nothing I can do by staying.
It’s better to leave early.
Wait for the strong ones to come back and solve the problems here.
However, just as everyone was about to leave, the calm ground suddenly made a huge noise.
"Boom..."
Along with this sound rang out.
Next second!
Nearly ten thousand meters away from the towering tree, countless thick scarlet vines suddenly broke out of the ground and soared into the sky at a rapid speed.
These thick scarlet vines entangled with each other, surrounding the ten-mile radius centered on the scarlet giant tree, forming an airtight giant tree cage.
Before anyone could react to what was happening.
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor in the surrounding caves.
Then, a large number of strange-looking creatures from the origin rushed out from inside, as excited as wild beasts just out of the cage, and immediately attacked everyone.
"run!!!"
The senior officer reacted very quickly and shouted.
Then, without saying a word, he immediately activated the anti-airflow power device, flew hundreds of meters with a "buzz", instantly distanced himself from the others, and ran away faster than a rabbit.
Lin Zichen reacted faster than him.
Before he shouted the word "run", Lin Zichen was already holding Shen Qinghan in his left hand and Song Yuyan in his right hand. His body instantly turned into a shadow and rushed over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.
As for Liu Chuanwu, Lin Zichen felt that this old and strong dean could definitely run away on his own, and there was no need for him to carry him along.
