Chapter 121 Devil Stone (2)
Up to the fifth floor underground, Hong Yi looked at Bai Min and waited for the other party's explanation.
Bai Min took a deep breath, closed her hair on her forehead, and then said: "Chief Hong Yi, I am an expert in archaeology and Eastern and Western mythology. There are some things, I hope you can listen to my suggestions. I believe this will help you, just like Wendigo, they are definitely not monsters that were born during the catastrophe. In the northern Indian tribes of America, the legends about them have been around for hundreds of years. I know their characteristics and their weaknesses. In addition, I also know what medium they entered the refuge through."
I have to say that Bai Min is a smart woman, otherwise she would not have become an authoritative person in a certain field at a young age. Although there is a relationship between her family, she would not be able to do it if she did not have this ability.
And now, she has obviously received Hong Yi's attention.
"Come to the main control room with me!" Hong Yi knew that this was not a place to talk, and he wanted to check out the surveillance video before the seventh floor of the underground to see what was going on there.
Bai Min followed Hong Yi away excitedly at this moment. She knew that she had seized an opportunity, at least not like others. Assuming that this place was captured by Wendigo below, Hong Yi and the others would definitely take him away first if they wanted to retreat, and others might be abandoned.
She could see that if this really happened, the man in front would definitely do it.
Du Quanzhi watched Bai Min leave with Hong Yi, and also looked at the cave. He understood a lot in an instant. He had just checked the time through the control panel in the shelter. The time now was indeed 2095 AD. In other words, Hong Yi did not lie to them. They did sleep in the dormant warehouse for a full 74 years.
After so long, the situation outside must have been completely different from before. The identity of his member of the Administration is a joke, and no one will recognize him. If he is abandoned, he will use his heel to know what the outcome will be.
There is only one dead end.
Du Quanzheng was not very brave, but he was smart enough. At this time, he was already thinking about his own value. His knowledge was obviously not as good as Bai Min, but he also had other advantages.
Thinking of this, Du Quanzhi wanted to catch up immediately and show his value to the young man he had disdained before, hoping that the other party would not abandon him. Even if he was not abandoned, he did not want to be the lowest-level existence. For example, those who cleaned up the body, he did not want to be such a coolie.
After all, there are a few people who can think of this. Most of the fifteen people are still unwilling to believe everything in front of them, or they are completely confused and don’t know what to do.
The main control room was obviously much cleaner. There were classes in the barbarian race. After they knew that Hong Yi could dominate their destiny, both the Presbyterian Church and Lao Chen regarded Hong Yi as a god and arranged for him several young and beautiful women in the barbarian race to serve. The first thing was to prepare food, prepare drinking water, and wait for dispatch at any time.
Hong Yi was really not used to this kind of "leader" treatment. He asked everyone waiting here to go out, and then sat on the chair in the main control room and looked at Bai Min.
Now there are boiling drinking water on the table, as well as some foods preserved by special preservation methods found in the food storage room, but they are all sealed and canned items. Although they don’t look very good, they can at least be eaten. As for the food in the refrigerator, they have long rotted.
Fortunately, Lao Chen and his team picked a lot of berries that could be used along the way. There are also the corpses of some mutant beasts. As long as they are roasted, they are the best food.
So now there is enough food and drinking water on Hong Yi's table. Even Hong Yi himself looks a little nervous, not to mention Bai Min, who has been hungry for more than 70 years.
Hong Yi took a sip of water first, then picked up a barbecue weighing two pounds and started to chew. Bai Min stood aside nervously, staring at the food and water, her eyes full of eating**.
"Come on, sit down and eat together!" Hong Yi did not have the habit of eating alone, and he could see that Bai Min had enough value to pay attention to, so he would not treat her badly.
Hearing Hong Yi's words, Bai Min swallowed and sat on another chair to eat. At first, she was still graceful with small bites, but she ignored it and chewed heavily. She was really hungry.
"I haven't eaten for a long time, so I can't eat too much for the first meal, otherwise I may be able to die!" Hong Yi saw that it was almost done, and stopped Bai Min from swallowing her. The latter looked satisfied, and the corners of her mouth were full of berries juice and barbecue minced meat.
After drinking a few sips of water, Hong Yi and her started a formal conversation.
"You are a smart woman compared to others, tell me what you know!"
Hong Yi was straight to the point and praised the other party. Bai Min smiled and knew that he had bet right, at least he was full now, while Director Du and the others were still hungry.
"When we evacuated to Sanctuary No. 30, something was transported together as a research item. I gave it a name, Demon Stone, and based on my analysis of ancient literature and corresponding knowledge, I can be sure that Wendigo entered the Sanctuary through this Demon Stone."
Bai Min opened her head and said something like a surging river. Because she was one of the several research experts in the shelter at that time, she naturally knew all the information about the "Demon Stone".
What surprised Hong Yi was the origin of this demon stone.
It was actually stripped from a meteorite. Hong Yi knew since childhood that the disaster more than 70 years ago was caused by a large-scale meteorite rain.
However, there is no specific explanation in the textbooks of the school in the gathering place. They only know that the meteorite rain brought some kind of "prototype", just like a virus, which began to spread in the air. People around the meteorite fell to the ground were infected at the first time, and the infected humans became mutants. They continued to spread the virus through biting, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire old world.
So Hong Yi knew that the meteorite was definitely not a good thing, so it was not an exaggeration to call it "demon stone". Now Bai Min actually told himself that there was a "demon stone" peeled from the meteorite in this refuge.
Hong Yi immediately thought of the strange black stone statue that he saw on the seventh floor underground from the surveillance video.
Could it be that thing?
"The seventh underground floor is a secret research room. Our research object from the beginning was that demon stone. First of all, it was texture. Although it looked like stone, it was not any stone known to the earth. It was a brand new substance that humans had never touched. Secondly, its mass and density were as big as steel, even harder than steel. This is not the strangest thing. Our research did not make progress at the beginning, but then through magnetic field induction, we found that the stone was constantly releasing some kind of energy outward."
With Bai Min's explanation, Hong Yi was attracted in and wanted to know what the other party had developed.
"The energy we found was very special, but we knew nothing about it. We still had no progress on this energy in a year in the shelter, but another professor in the research group proposed a very interesting theory."
"What theory?" Hong Yi was curious.
"Channel theory!" Bai Min saw that she caught Hong Yi's attention, and she felt a little proud. The other party was very strong and could see that she was very powerful. No matter what, in this unknown new era, those who had just woken up had no trump card and could only rely on others. Bai Min is not the kind of nerd who only knows how to study. Her background and her status allow her to come into contact with many people with great power, so how to fight for power and how to intrigue Bai Min has never done it, but she also knows the truth through her ears and eyes. Now, if she wants to live a better life, she can only rely on the person in front of her.
"The channel theory actually involves many scientific theories, including multi-dimensional worlds, spaces, and even time. Professor Kang developed a possible result. The Demon Stone is likely to be a medium of channels that connects different dimensions, spaces, and even time."
What Bai Min said was very exaggerated, and Hong Yi couldn't even understand these things at once. Bai Min told him that these were just theoretical speculations, and it was impossible to determine whether this was the case.
"After that, the power of the shelter suddenly broke down and the main control room lost contact, so we had to enter the dormant warehouse. Fortunately, the dormant warehouse uses special energy supplies. Otherwise, we would probably devour the same kind as those outside because of hunger and then become Wendigo. According to Professor Kang's theory of channel, I suspect that Wendigo's evil spirits came here from a certain dimension through the demon stone. They can parasitize on the fallen human beings, because devouring the same kind is a taboo, and those who violate the taboo are the best body for Wendigo."
Next, Bai Min talked about a lot of legends about Wendigo, among which they can swallow each other and increase their strength. In addition, Wendigo is afraid of flames and likes cold environments. Even all powerful Wendigo evil spirits can change the environment. Where they are, they will become as cold as the polar regions.
Hong Yi nodded. This time he had gained knowledge. He could not have thought that one who seemed to him was just a mutant race would actually extend so much knowledge.
Another thing is about the demon stone. According to Bai Min, the meteorites falling during the catastrophe are demon stones. In addition to the so-called channel theory, wouldn’t there be countless entrances to the passage? No wonder so many terrifying mutations will appear after the catastrophe.
