Ancient Gene [End Times]

Chapter 177

It can be clearly felt that the vitality of those mutated animals has become more tenacious.Before winter, those mutated animals would heal quickly as long as they did not receive fatal injuries and had certain safety conditions.

But in the current mutated animals, the wounds have been able to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After capturing a few mutated animals as specimens, Qin An stood on the city wall outside Beijing and looked into the distance.

Just waiting for the ice and snow to melt, the place in front of him will soon be covered with a thick wall again.Not only the ground, but the underground construction is also developing rapidly.

In order to allow human beings to live for a long time, the government has invested a lot of energy in the new underground city of Beijing, striving to make all conditions perfect, so that people on the ground, especially those who do not have enough self-protection ability, can enjoy peace underground life.

But it is because the planning is too perfect and the investment is too large. This underground city will take at least three years to complete.If we want to maintain self-sufficiency in production for all, it will take another three years.

This process requires the joint efforts and waiting of all mankind.

Several mutated birds flew across the sky.It's just that there is a radar monitoring device in the sky, and the birds in the sky are either stimulated by ultrasonic waves to leave, or they are shot and killed by automatic machinery before they fly down. Because the underground has started to work, not only are there enough people to guard it, to prevent those who would In addition to the attack of the mutated animals that punch holes, some robots that can attack automatically are also dispatched to ensure safety and order.

Human beings are doing their best to make their lives better.

Bao Xinyu spread the feathered wings on his back, jumped off the fence, and circled in the air several times.Bao Xinyu carried an induction magnetic card on his body, even if the air defense above Beijing detected it, he would not attack.

Bao Xinyu flew around twice to his heart's content, and stopped in mid-air to wave to the people below.

This is the only birdman in Beijing, as long as it is in mid-air, it is enough to attract everyone's attention.

Bao Xinyu flew around in Beijing, and then flew a certain distance away. When he saw the mutated animal on the ground, he pulled out his gun and started to attack.

Bao Xinyu's arrows are mainly glass arrows, which are difficult to pose a threat to those mutant animals with rough skin and thick flesh.So the content of Bao Xinyu's training is to attack the weaknesses of those mutant animals, such as the open mouth, ears and eyes.Now basically within a hundred meters, Bao Xinyu can hit every shot without missing a beat.It's just going to be difficult any further.

In the past half a year or so, he finally trained his hands with living bodies. After Bao Xinyu successfully killed a few mutant animals, he returned to the voyage successfully.

Birds in the air smelled the smell of human flesh on Bao Xinyu's side, and began to attack this side.Bao Xinyu directly mutated his hands into thin wings, still holding a gun.

First, use both hands to follow the wings on the back, speed up the flight, turn around and shoot an arrow at the big mouths of those birds.The weapon in his hand is a continuous crossbow, which can automatically fire arrows. Even if there are a few birds besieging in the air, Bao Xinyu can handle it with ease.

Thinking back to when they had just mutated, the whole team was most afraid of mutated birds.Every time I met them on the way, I had to quickly find a cover to avoid them, and I even didn't hesitate to release a gun to confuse them.Now it can be regarded as turning over and calling the shots.

Bao Xinyu flew back to the city wall, first changed his hands back to their original shape, and then shivered violently.

Bao Xinyu put on the sheepskin coat for Bao Xinyu.Bao Xinyu was still reluctant to take back the wings on his back, so he put on his coat backwards and covered the front first.

"Do you think I want to be an angel?" Bao Xinyu waved his wings twice.

Ke Chenguang looked at Bao Xinyu, who was wearing a military overcoat and blushing, and couldn't help but nodded: "Like."

"Hey, I think so too." Bao Xinyu stretched out his hand to touch his wings, which felt really good.

The sun has already set to the west, and it is no longer suitable for fighting those monsters.Qin An rubbed his hands in a sigh of relief, and looked around for He Siming.

At this moment, a big nine-meter-tall cat just in front suddenly jumped towards the city wall, and then quickly shrunk in mid-air. When it landed on the city wall, it was already about the size of a human.

If it's not He Siming, who else?It's good that He Siming still had something in his mouth at this time.Qin An went over and patted the soft fur on He Siming's head twice, then squatted down to take something from He Siming's mouth.

It is a grass with small red flowers.I don't know what species it is, but it's a pretty little flower.

He Siming lifted his front paws and gradually changed back to a human shape, but he still kept the thick hair on his body.

"I saw it in the east. There are a lot of grasses growing now, but this one is the only one that blooms. It's very beautiful." This is the first time He Siming gave Qin An flowers seriously.

Qin An looked at the little red flower, and said helplessly, "Why do you pick the flowers that bloom well? It's a pity."

"If you like it, you can raise it. With Lie Lie Yan (raging flames), the bead flower will not die." He Siming said.

Qin An put the flowers inside his clothes.Look outside to see the hair on He Siming's body.

He Siming looked down at himself: "What? If you like it, I will touch it for you."

"I'm not in a hurry. I just think it would be better if you were older. I want to ride you back."

……

He Siming was speechless. After waiting for a few seconds, he actually squatted down and turned back into a big cat again, even reaching a height of two meters.

"It's really changed." Qin An patted the big cat's head vigorously.

He Siming stuck out his tongue and licked Qin An's face, his wife, can he not spoil her?

Qin An jumped on He Siming's back, and then He Siming stepped on his hind legs, jumped off the five-meter-high fence, and landed firmly.Qin An grabbed the hair on He Siming's neck, got up too much, and saw the buildings on both sides of the road.

This feeling was so amazing that Qin An couldn't help shouting: "Oh, ho!"

He Siming heard the cheerful voice on his back, grabbed the ground with four claws, and ran even faster.

The crowd behind him looked envious.

Bao Xinyu looked at it for a while, until the two of them were far away, then he looked Ke Chenguang up and down.

"Want to ride a dinosaur?" Ke Chenguang asked.

Bao Xinyu quickly shook his head in denial, and went back with his wings flapping.

Actually, if Bao Xinyu wanted to, Ke Chenguang didn't mind.

Looking at Bao Xinyu left a white afterimage in the air.Ke Chenguang took off his outer coat.On the back of the shirt inside, there are Velcro on the position where the wings protrude. When the wings grow out, the Velcro can be pushed away, which can not only ensure the flight of the human form, but also ensure warmth.

Ke Chenguang's two-meter-long wings stretched out, but his body couldn't adapt to flying, so it became smaller or streamlined.

He also jumped off the wall and walked towards Bao Xinyu's line of defense.It's just that his speed is much slower than Bao Xinyu's.

Now the two of them can be said to be the only mutants in Beijing who can fly.

When the time was close to October, the weather returned to about ten degrees below zero.

This has been the highest temperature detected in the past half a year.At this time, the temperature was no longer able to stop the growth of mutated plants, and mutated animals also began to resume their actions.

After nearly a year of nourishing and accumulating energy, they have a stronger body shape and stronger vitality.

Beijing is fine, because the most powerful mutants and the most cutting-edge technology in the country have gathered together. Such changes have little impact on Beijing.

But for other places, this kind of battle has begun to be too much.In some areas with weak defenses, mutated animals have even begun to break through the defenses and slaughter ordinary people.

For this reason, Qin An and others started the journey of flying across the country again, while dealing with the troublesome mutant animals that appeared in various places, and at the same time supporting those places that were about to be attacked by mutant animals.

Perhaps it was because of the effect of the nearly one year of high-strength map training. Qin An and the others were able to deal with those mutated animals with ease, but the continuous rotation of the whole country was a bit too much.

Qin An's mutated body has successfully broken through 11 meters. Wherever he stands after his body grows bigger, he is already a colossus, extremely majestic.Relying on this reminder, even in the face of mutant animals that have grown to 15 meters or smaller, they are not afraid.

In just one month's time, he has made countless military achievements and obtained many high-quality mutated animal crystals.Bringing these back to Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan also said that the energy in these crystals is more pure.Maybe it can be used to make some weapons with stronger combat power,

As for He Siming's body length, he is about one meter shorter than Qin An's, but his combat power is not inferior, and his reaction ability is outstanding. For a while, no one can say that if these two people fight, What is the outcome.

Qin An bit the neck of the huge lizard about ten meters in front of him. The lizard was still struggling violently, waving its forelimbs in an attempt to counterattack.But the copious amount of blood flowing from that throat had taken his life away.

After waiting for the giant lizard to stop struggling and its heart to stop beating, Qin An let go of his mouth and stepped on one side of the giant lizard's belly.

This mutated lizard jumped out suddenly, almost catching everyone by surprise.

He Siming climbed up Qin An's back along his tail, and finally jumped onto his shoulders.

"There's a giant python on the left, but it's not suitable for you. You should transform back to save your strength, and I'll go." He Siming said to Qin An.

Qin An was obedient, turned his head, and his body shrank rapidly. When he shrank to three meters high, He Siming jumped off Qin An. The moment he landed, his limbs quickly turned into claws, and his body began to grow bigger. Clothes cling to and scatter to the ground.

In less than half a minute, a nine-meter-tall cat appeared beside him. Qin An, who had regained his human form, hurriedly picked up the clothes that He Siming had dropped.

Qin An had just engaged in continuous high-intensity battles, and he was not willing to waste the injections. Instead, he retreated to the back and rested for a while, with ginseng leaves containing flames.

By the way, let's take a look at other people's battles. If someone is in danger, rescue them in time.

He Siming saw such a giant snake with a speed of four meters and a thickness of at least 30 meters.From a purely long-distance point of view, it is definitely the longest mutant animal in the world.

And this kind of giant python seems to be quite powerful, and ordinary claw bites are useless to it.However, felines are their natural nemesis. As long as you pay attention, it is quite easy to deal with this huge python that makes it difficult to move.

The giant snake raised its body to more than eight meters, opened its mouth wide, and tried to bite He Siming.

And He Siming slapped the giant snake with one claw.

Then the body jumped back. The giant snake was in a daze, and then it was about to attack again. He Siming raised his paw and slapped him again.

Then, it was He Siming's game time.

He Siming's movements were much better than that of the giant python, and the giant python tried to bite He Siming and caused a death entanglement.

But this is what He Siming is not afraid of the most.Not to mention that the giant python couldn't touch Hei Siming's body at all, even if it really entangled He Siming, He Siming could shrink and get away at any time.After getting smaller, He Siming's speed is even stronger, even if the snake is fast, it can't be caught.

This kind of battle lasted for half an hour. Even Qin An rested and grew to about six meters to participate in the battle again. He Siming finally stopped this one-sided play and ended the life of the giant python. .

This half hour was absolutely torture for the giant python, because it spent the last period of its statement under the slap of He Siming.

Slapped it alive into a concussion, and when his head started to strike, he bit it seven inches and ended it.

When the giant python fell to the ground, its body was actually still wriggling.The brain is dead, but the nerve reflexes of the body are still there.

At this time, the mutants with weaker fighting power did not dare to approach easily.

The white fish approached, and took out a small crystal of peanut from the snake's chin.

There are no more than ten such large crystals in the whole country.

Of course, eight of them were obtained through their team.

He Siming was a little tired after maintaining such a big body for more than half an hour.But he didn't remember to rest, but his body shrank to five meters. He lowered his head and took a few ginseng leaves from Lie Yan's hands and pressed them under the cat's tongue, paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Except for insects, among the mutant animals now, the ones that are about two to three meters are the mainstream, and the probability of appearing on four or five meter nets is as high as 1/[-].Among the [-] mutated animals, there will always be a mutated animal that is taller than eight meters, and among the million mutated animals, there will be a giant mac that is ten meters tall.

As for this huge behemoth, apart from Qin An, a mutated animal, it can only be dealt with with large-scale lethal weapons.

What's more frightening is that these monsters have an almost abnormal reproduction speed, which is also a headache for survivors around the world.

Someone tried, tried to study the contagiousness of genocide.It is the kind that only produces toxicity to specific genes, and can carry out a viral and genocidal blow to the team of a certain race.

But generally it only decreases in the first few days, and after a few days, the organism will mutate into antibodies to the virus.And those viruses still have a certain probability of mutating into more powerful viruses, and then turn around and infect humans.

It has not been tried in China, but it has obtained a large number of research results from foreign personnel who have conducted this experiment, so they dare not make this attempt.

Back to Beijing, it was almost November.

It was at this time that the temperature, which had just risen to ten degrees above zero, began to cool down again.

And as the temperature dropped, the vigor of the mutated animals began to decline again.The whole world is now busy sorting out fuel.

And Qin An and others, after a short two-month exile, will start preparing for a new round of closed training for nearly a year.

There is no way not to close it, because it is impossible to go out in the extremely cold environment.

And for nearly a month, all the staff in Beijing have been mobilized to work hard for heating fuel.

In this world, the best fuel is wood.There are so many mutated trees outside, just seeing one is enough to keep a dozen people warm for a year.

Of course, these wet logs are not suitable for fire, and there is not enough time for them to dry.But such wood is an excellent material for charcoal.

Therefore, near the edge of Beijing, Beijing has been surrounded by black smoke this month, and even the long-lost smog appeared.

When going out early in the morning and looking at the thick smog in front of you, especially those old Beijingers, there is an urge to cry.

This feeling is familiar and safe to the thief.I miss it so much.

And with such drastic preparations, Beijing used this one or two months to prepare a huge amount of coal.

Afterwards, each household was given a thousand catties of coal for free. At the same time, all those who chose to live in residential buildings to heat themselves could choose to spend fifty cents to make a stove with a chimney.Outside each residential building, there is a newly made large chimney made of bricks, which can greatly reduce the risk of indoor charcoal poisoning.

As for the carbon dioxide alarm, only ten points can be exchanged for one.

In Beijing, as long as the family is serious and willing to work, they can afford this kind of money.

Although the several ten thousand people living together last year were warm, many people bought the noise.Therefore, those with better conditions at home choose to heat themselves at home.

In terms of charcoal, a thousand catties of charcoal is a huge amount, enough to burn for a long time.Even if it is used up, one point can buy ten pieces of charcoal, not to mention working people, even rice worms in Beijing who barely survive on subsidy points can afford it.

Qin An and He Siming also got that kind of stove in their own home outside the military area, and added a thick layer of thermal insulation cotton that can be flame-retardant inside the house, and added a layer of windows to ensure that the heat will not leak out. .

By the time the whole of Beijing was completed, the temperature in Beijing had dropped to minus thirty degrees.

Heating is still provided, but when it is really extremely cold, the heating of each house is still cold to the touch.It is already very face-saving if it is not frozen.

In fact, the above policy has also been given for this. In the coming year, the heating will be changed to have a separate boiler room for heating in each building, which can greatly avoid the heat loss in the process of hot water transportation.It's just that the material reserves are seriously insufficient at the moment, and we can only wait for the next year to get more raw materials from those ruins, and then re-smelt them to make useful things.

When the outside temperature dropped to two to forty degrees, Qin An and He Siming stayed at home outside the military area for two nights. After lighting up the indoor heating stove, the temperature of the living room where the fire was burning could be maintained at a comfortable 28 degrees above zero. The temperature in the bedroom is relatively low, around 25 degrees.Such a temperature is already able to make life very comfortable.

It's a pity that it is impossible for Qin and An to live here for a long time.Stayed for two nights, and experienced the feeling of two people sleeping on the same bed chatting and playing games before the end of the world.

In the military area, it has already been realized that there are fewer boiler rooms on one floor.Especially the floor where Lin Nuan lived.

Because Lin Nuan occupies one floor alone, and Lin Nuan has set up a separate boiler room on this floor, which is equipped with a larger heating facility, and a large area of ​​paving has been carried out for all the rooms on this floor. , although there is no floor heating, but under such circumstances, as long as the fire is kept strong at all times, even if the temperature outside drops to minus one hundred, the room will not be cold.

So this year, the equipment that uses the health car to generate electricity for heating is completely eliminated.

However, because the heating here is better, in December, when the temperature stabilized below minus [-] degrees, everyone still chose to live in Lin Nuan's floor.

Although there was, I continued the boring life of last year and continued the three-point and one-line training.

In fact, this is relatively good.

Because of the advent of the Ice Age, the global temperature is extremely low, which greatly limits the space for mutated animals to grow and makes them lose their vitality.

At this time, the exchanges between countries became more frequent, and the content of exchanges became more and more.

More than two years after the end of the world, the situation of people at this time is much better than that of the end of the world, and even life begins to become more comfortable.

This year, there is only one place in Beijing where tens of thousands of people live, and most of them are people from poor families, or people who are simply unwilling to work hard and just wait to die.

Those with good conditions in the family will settle down in their original residences and wait for this long winter to pass.

Because of the preparations for this year, the first floor of almost every building has no accommodation, but has become a huge warehouse.Half of them are used to store charcoal as fuel, and the rest are some handmade raw materials.

For example, some fabrics or adventures, some soilless cultivation equipment, and various mechanical assembly.

These are the tasks of everyone in the residential building this winter.

After being unable to go out, we have to hold regular meetings every two days and assign tasks to each family.Such as weaving clothes, weaving blankets, or planting blessings without soil in the open space at home.Or make something simple and commonly used.

Always, in the winter when you can't go out, you can't let everyone have zero production.

Of course, these jobs can accumulate points, so that they can have an income even in the long winter.

And these, Lin Nuan can be regarded as one of the initiators.

What Qin An and the others usually like most is to play around in the space, to tease the raised animals.
