doomsday lamb

At the same time, the jungle of Fengwei Mountain southwest of Shashi was crowded with people. A team of three hundred people slowly emerged from the dense forest, formed two columns and headed for a valley. Next to this valley was another peak southwest of Shashi—

—Natashan.

Looking at the team, there are mostly young and middle-aged men and a few female evolvers. They are all elite soldiers carefully selected from the new members of the base. It can be said that these are generally from the middle to the late first level.

The group of evolvers is the current backbone of the Langya City base. Lang Hua and other capable users are leading the way at the front of the large army. They represent the current high-end combat power of Langya City.

The sun is rising, and it has been three hours since the large troops left Langya City. In addition to carrying firearms, most of the people are also carrying fuel and other supplies, which naturally makes them very tired after a long time. Despite this, no one has complained.

The noise shows that Lao Chen's military training has achieved remarkable results.

After passing through a sparse fir forest, the last green color suddenly diminished. In front of us was an empty river bend valley, and under the towering Nata Mountain were all withered yellow grassland and gray-white poplar forest. The hilly landforms spread all over the southern part of Huaibei Province.

It ends abruptly here, and after Nata Mountain is the vast eastern Qinling Mountains.

After walking into the valley, Lang Hua first stopped and observed the surrounding terrain. Upon seeing this, Yang Bensheng asked the team to stop and repair on the spot.

"Is this here?" Yang Bensheng asked.

"It can't be wrong." Lang Hua nodded, "If there are no accidents, the first batch of gelatin cores will be generated when the sun is at its strongest."

The black mist vortex they had seen was formed by the accumulation of high-concentration black mist energy left after a large-scale eruption of black mist. However, the gel melt core is exactly the opposite.

Taking shape the moment before, it was like the ultimate counterattack of black mist energy, forming this magical energy product in one fell swoop.

"Attention everyone, we have half an hour to repair, eat up the supplies you brought, and check the weapons and equipment. Come back here and assemble in half an hour!"

"yes!"

"We will build fortifications here to prepare for a big battle."

…

Lang Hua wandered around the valley. As the two parties gradually moved away, the orders issued by Yang Bensheng and others gradually became blurred. He looked at everything around him casually, and a strong sense of familiarity came over him. It seemed that there were countless people there.

Memories traveled through time and space, gathering into points, points into lines, and lines into surfaces in his mind. Countless pictures outlined scenes of three-dimensional life in the past.

Lang Hua should be familiar with this place, because this is the former site of the Natashan Scientific Research Base in the previous life. No, it should be said that at this time, the Natashan Scientific Research Base will only appear three years later.

When the garrison in Nanqi City wiped out the Chaosandao forces entrenched in Fengwei Mountain in Sha City, the reason for Chaosandao's rapid rise is no longer a secret. It has to be said that Chaosandao's luck is very good. Not only is it easy to defend but difficult to attack

Fengwei Mountain, the abandoned arms secret warehouse, and an extremely precious gelatin core "refresh point".

This place is the Nata Mountain Valley at the foot, and it is also the location where the Southern Qi Military Region later funded the construction of a scientific research base. Only by establishing a biological laboratory here can the true strength of Chen Xinyan, a double expert, be maximized.

In the thirteen years of his previous life, Lang Hua had witnessed with his own eyes more than once the battle for large and small colloid cores. Those various colloid cores were molten cores wrapped in colored light groups, often in three colors: red, green and blue.

, the interior is similar to an enlarged version of a colloidal droplet.

It can help the host materialize an individual's specific crystal energy into an ability carrier, allowing those with abilities to increase their abilities or those without abilities to have similar evolutionary abilities.

To put it simply, it can strengthen those with abilities, or enable ordinary people to obtain certain special abilities.

Just imagine, if some evolvers who have failed to awaken their abilities several times suddenly had a 100% chance to become espers, would they go crazy about it?

This method is very different from how ability users create "servants". The evolutionary ability formed after absorbing the colloid core is very stable, completely comparable to the evolution of crystal cores. Therefore, this type of colloid core ability user is also called "sub-server"

Ability person" or "free servant".

The ability of the evolver to awaken is inextricably linked to the evolver's own experience. The special evolutionary phenomenon caused by the gel core is similar to the same, but it is relatively more susceptible to the influence of subjective consciousness. For example, a person who desires power

After absorbing the colloid core, it is very likely to awaken special abilities related to power. The colloid core can more easily reflect the thoughts of the evolver. This special awakening is also vividly called "projection".

From the first discovery of the colloid core to its widespread use in the middle of the end of the world, people have been arguing endlessly about its origin. During this period, a total of more than ten explanation methods appeared, and the two most accepted ones are the two schools, namely "original"

School" and "Tianwai School".

The original school believes that the natural world is extremely complex, and the various manifestations since the end of the world are always beyond human common sense. Although the "Gel Fusion Core" has strange effects and is rare in number, it should also be an earth similar to the "Black Mist Vortex"

The original product of the catastrophe.

The second type is the "extraterrestrial school". Although there is no clear evidence that this kind of object comes from extraterrestrial life, most biological experts in the past, including Chen Xinyan, said that the fusion core is most likely an extraterrestrial product, that is, an alien planet.

The symbol of the evolutionary system that the ecosystem specifically produced in the black fog disaster is in a parallel relationship with the energy crystal nucleus, which is of the same origin and different species.

Because in the solar system, there are both terrestrial planets with hard crusts like the Earth, and gas giant planets like Jupiter. The evolutionary capabilities of Earth's organisms are all derived from the genetic code produced over billions of years, just like a universal genetic revolution.

Atavism focuses on physical abilities. However, the colloid core is more focused on the construction of the organism's imagination or mental power. Its evolutionary direction is obviously not the same system as the energy crystal core.

Moreover, although the gelatin core appeared many times in the thirteen years of the apocalypse, the scale each time was small, far less widespread than the black mist outbreak. What's more, as evidenced by the great counterattack in the ten years of the apocalypse, countless gelatinites were used

The core evolver's consciousness was instantly wiped out, and he became a puppet who obeyed the instructions. He turned back and swung the butcher knife to his comrades. It is difficult not to make people suspect that the use of "melted core" was a long-planned conspiracy of the Star Thieves group.

However, in the apocalypse, power is everything, and the ability to evolve is the source of all wealth and power. Few people can remain rational enough in front of this temptation. Rather than searching for the origin of the Gel Fusion Core, people want to know the next batch.

When and where the fusion core was created.

As for Lang Hua, who has been reborn, he naturally does not want these "good things" to go to waste. Compared with others, Lang Hua's advantage is that he is the only one in the world who knows how to properly utilize these glue cores. Before that, he has to do

, which is to ensure that you can hold this batch of glue-melted cores firmly in your hands!

Three hours passed by in a flash. During the time when Lang Hua was distracted, the soldiers had already spread out around a tung tree and set up field defenses one after another.

The old tree with three people hugging each other in front of him is a symbol in Lang Hua's memory.

In the previous life, this place belonged to the Logistics Hospital of the Natashan Scientific Research Base. It was one of the small courtyards with a remote location but a spacious status. On the surface, the small courtyard is a place for recuperation and leisure, but in fact it hides the only "Saint-level Gluon Core Refresh Point" in the Central Plains.

.

With the logistics hospital as a cover, the patient Lang Hua and the director Chen Xinyan can naturally come and go at will without being suspected, and calmly collect first-hand data on the "hair growth" of the gelatin core.

You must know that even in modern China three hundred years ago, it was not an easy task to "learn from the barbarians and gain skills to defeat the barbarians", not to mention that in the end of the world, mankind's opponent is the powerful and mysterious "Star Thief" civilization.

Therefore, few people except Chen Xinyan, Lang Hua and the "Chief of Science and Technology Alliance" know about this hidden refresh point. Not only the Qin family who participated in the construction knew nothing about it, but even the senior officials of the Southern Qi Military Region were kept in the dark.

inside.

It was not until the late end of the apocalypse that Chen Xinyan made breakthrough progress in her research on gelatin cores. By preparing special potions, she was able to eliminate some of the "correlation" and prevent the tragedy of being deliberately controlled by the star thieves. Until the thirteenth year of the apocalypse, the human race was completely defeated.

On the eve of the incident, the names Na Tashan and Chen Xinyan still held great weight in the world.

In the thirteen years of the previous life, the Logistics Courtyard had a total of six melting cores, which directly led to six beast tides in the Nata Mountain scientific research base. During this period, the Southern Qi Military Region authorized the Yang Family garrison to station in Nata Mountain, not only to protect the two

Academicians and military laboratories are also responding to the waves of beasts attacking the city again and again.

Some of the arms of the Evolvers were fully staffed when they needed to build fortifications. Under Lang Hua's instructions, the soldiers set up a circular position with this as the center of the circle, and it didn't take long for the defensive position to take shape.

In theory, positions with higher terrain should be easier to defend and harder to attack, but the "refresh point" is in the middle of the river valley and will directly bear the greatest pressure from all directions. In the lower terrain, Lang Hua had to shrink his limited troops to

1 km in diameter

In the circular area, the positions formed concentric circles with the old tree as the center. Shooting defense lines and horse-repelling lines were set up at intervals, 200 meters, 500 meters, and 1,000 meters away from the center of the circle. During the battle, they retreated sequentially to extend the attack time.

.

The position in the center of the river valley faces south and north. The Nata Mountain at the rear is steep and theoretically will not be attacked by large-scale black beasts. Lang Hua personally led a group of ability users to garrison it.

The south side of the valley is adjacent to Nata Mountain, but the north side is an open land, far bordering the protective forest on the outskirts of the city.

This inter-valley plain is more than 5,000 meters deep, and the lack of natural obstacles in the open terrain creates a difficult problem for human defense.

However, their enemies are not humans, so they do not need to spend time on preventing air strikes, tanks and artillery attacks. Of course, there is no point in digging foxholes to prevent small arms attacks. Time is tight, everyone can only prepare and collect on-site

Make temporary barriers out of wood and sundries, dig trenches on the ground in front of the position to introduce stream water, and pour in the fuel prepared in advance.

Under the leadership of Lao Chen, the soldiers of the three rifle squads unfolded dozens of rolls of "belly-shaped" barbed wire in sequence, forming two diagonal straight lines left and right on the open ground, like a trumpet, connecting the wide north side

The attack direction gradually narrowed to the south.

In order to ensure that the "wire corridor" can work, Lao Chen asked Lin Qian to help use the earth ability to set up a high wall behind the barbed wire as a barrier to prevent black beasts from crossing the barbed wire and deviating from the planned route. This will be the key defense of the rifle squad

direction, if the black beasts can pour into the "wire corridor" as expected, the formation will be more dense and crowded, which will be conducive to these recruits using rifles to shoot.

On the left and right sides of the position, the east and west of the valley are hilly highlands with small differences. There are countless wild animals hidden under the dense vegetation. They are now the biggest competitors of the evolvers of Langya City.

For the slopes on both sides, Lang Hua first asked people to bury three rows of low-level fixed piles in the distance, one at a distance of 20 meters. Then he wrapped the barbed wire around it and leveled it on both sides along the ground. The ground has been leveled on both sides with the cooperation of Yang Bensheng and his wife.

A layer of smooth ice mirror is formed underneath, which together with the low barbed wire fence further delays the movement of enemy "infantry".

Originally, according to Lao Chen's idea, anti-infantry mines were laid where the barbed wire fence was erected, but in the end this resolution was not passed. Langya City only had a few Type 67 grenades equipped with trip mines, and the detonation time could not be controlled. Considering that the explosion might damage the

The barbed wire fence was self-defeating, so ice was chosen instead.

It was noon, and the sunlight above was strong, causing the ice surface to show signs of melting. However, the temperature was still low in winter, and they still had Li Liping's "humanoid self-propelled ice machine" with them, so there was nothing to worry about.

After preparation, the soldiers lined up between the first and second lines of defense, sitting cross-legged and checking their guns. Although this was a nominal rest time, everyone seemed unable to calm down and put all their energy into

The equipment was checked over and over again.

Suddenly, an orange light spot appeared under the tung tree, like a fruit that suddenly grew out of the ground. The color was only as big as a thumb, and it was very conspicuous even at noon. The light generated by this light source passed through and suspended in the air.

The refraction of the particles formed a small rainbow one meter above the ground.

Within a few seconds, the light spot gradually enlarged and split into several smaller groups. The rainbow in the mid-air became clearer and the colors became more conspicuous.

The ability users were staring intently at the bottom of the tree. When something happened, they all stood up and looked at Lang Hua. Lang Hua was also distracted, nodded and said: "Let's begin."

"Everyone, get to your posts! Rifle squad, be my first line of defense."

"Different teams act according to plan. If there is any change, report it immediately!"

"Everyone only needs to stick to their respective positions, not to rush away, and follow the command in all actions."

"Anyone who escapes from the battle will be shot on the spot..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of several areas ran directly to the corresponding positions. The team of hundreds of people was like a river flowing, and it instantly became active.

Behind them, a beam of energy soared into the sky. The dazzling energy flow broke through the branches and leaves, forming two green and four red in the sky, a total of six dazzling light bands. At this moment, all the evolvers present felt a pain deep in their souls.

There was a throbbing feeling, as if a voice in their hearts was urging them: "Eat it, eat it."

This kind of temptation is so terrifying that even a person with a certain ability almost loses his mind.

Yang Bensheng and Lin Wenjin looked at each other and couldn't help but feel frightened. If what Lang Hua said is true, not only humans can enjoy the benefits of the glue core. Then due to the glue core's extremely strong affinity for evolutionary crystal energy, it has

All crystalline organisms are an irresistible temptation.

Animals that swallow the gelatin core can obtain harder teeth, stronger fur, and even plants will have more aggressive branches or root systems. There are many evolved creatures near Nata Mountain. Facing the crazy black beasts, humans have to

How difficult is it to hold on for an hour?

"Two holy outfits and four noble phantoms. It is indeed the only holy level refresh point in the Central Plains war zone."

Lang Hua gradually narrowed his eyes. After the gelatin core initially condenses to form a beam of light, it will take another hour to completely take shape. Only then can the gelatin core be safely removed.

As a result, a war may be difficult to avoid.

…

At the same time, a thousand kilometers away in the south of the continent, some kind of strange movement gradually appeared in the devastated cities.

It was noon, the sky over a certain city was covered with dark clouds, and there was a vague ionization phenomenon in the air. Suddenly, a human hand appeared under the broken rubble and masonry, and gradually an inhuman "person" emerged.

Drilled out.

His clothes were in rags, his cheeks were exposed, and the skin on his arms was torn, and the parts of his skin that were still intact showed an unhealthy dark red color.

If you look carefully, you can see that the skin of this "man" is covered with tiny white vesicles. As he moves around, pieces of meat mixed with dirty blood and grease will roll to the ground from time to time. It looks so soft and disgusting.

Not far away, "people" one after another emerged from the ruins.

"Ho... ho ho."

Their throats seemed to have been burned out, and the sounds they made were very dry and rough. These "people" gradually gathered in groups, slowly gathering towards the center of the city. There, the huge circular sinkhole was quietly

Wrapped in a scorched earth...
