Volume II Stairway to Heaven (36)

The dark clouds rolled in the dark sky, and turbid mist was rippling between the sky and the earth. An oval orange-red fire cloud hung vertically on a huge crater that was spewing out molten flow from time to time, constantly flowing according to some law, making its surface full of spiral stripes. This strange scene that completely violated physical rules made Hou Ping's eyes involuntarily attracted.

The next moment, the clouds rippled like ripples, and suddenly a large wave of fire rain spit out from it. Accompanied by the fire rain, there were some strange red-skinned creatures that Hou Ping had never seen before. As soon as those creatures landed, they did not stop for a moment, and all rushed to the stalemate battlefield ahead.

Hou Ping's eyes followed the creatures that suddenly appeared. Some strange creatures were fighting against them, including bird heads and human bodies, sphinx faces, tiger heads and snake tails, which really opened Hou Ping's eyes. Those strange creatures fought on a battlefield where there was no limit to see the boundaries, and the ground was already covered with corpses of both sides.

On another peak that is level with herself, a woman with a human head and snake body is elegant and independent. The reason why she is considered a woman is because of her long fluttering hair and her very enchanting upper body. In fact, Hou Ping, who is not a biological expert, does not know how to classify her.

Suddenly, some new changes occurred in the battlefield. A powerful force composed of taurens rushed out of the opposite team. They waved huge battle axes and stone hammers, and beat the enemy in front of them to the point of falling water. Hou Ping's body moved involuntarily, stretching forward with five black sharp claws half-holding into a hook. A trace of red light appeared between the claws and became more and more intense. In a few seconds, it grew into a ball of flame. When the flames were about one meter in diameter, Hou Ping swung his hand and the fireball fell into the crowd.

"boom!"

A mushroom cloud emerged from the point of the fireball. The skyrocketing flames engulfed the ground dozens of miles around, and the sweeping shock waves flattened the ground a hundred miles above. The originally densely packed treacherous creatures also evaporated and disappeared. Only a huge bottomless sinkhole was left at the center of the explosion.

Such power is comparable to the nuclear explosion in the human world!

Is this me?

Hou Ping was puzzled. He could not imagine that a person could do this.

Just as he was about to observe his body more carefully, he suddenly smelled an extremely familiar smell at the tip of his nose. Hou Ping was shocked, and then the world in front of him began to become more and more blurred...

Hou Ping opened his eyes again and found himself lying on a hospital bed with various experimental and testing equipment around it. Although the room was spacious, it was the same as where he usually stayed. There was no second person inside. Only surveillance equipment of all sizes in every corner were accompanied by him.

Feeling a little cold on his body, Hou Ping had to use his hand to pull the quilt covering his chest. Suddenly, Hou Ping's hand stopped, and a disbelief appeared on his face. Then his face changed and opened the quilt covering his body. The extreme movement made Hou Ping, whose injuries had not healed, feel the pain in his heart again. The muscles on his face twitched several times.

What surprised Hou Ping was that most of the tissue on his chest was gone, and replaced by a strange diamond crystal that occupied half of his chest! The beautiful transparent crystal was half buried in his chest, revealing its extremely beautiful part of the diamond surface. From the smooth surface of the mirror, you can see the rich and vivid mist inside. Hou Ping looked at his already changed body's eyelids stuttering, completely forgot the pain that had just been touching his whole body.

Am I still a human? Can my family still accept me if they are like this?

Hou Ping's mind was buzzing, and he was at a loss for a moment and could only curse the research base that turned him into this ghost-like appearance in his heart.

"I advise you to lie back to the hospital bed first. The rejection reaction in your body is far from over. You should try to maintain your strength to meet the challenges that will come."

While Hou Ping was wandering, the person in charge who had been paying attention to him since the first day he came in spoke again.

Thinking of the familiar smell he smelled in a daze, Hou Ping felt excited. He jumped onto the bed and grabbed the camera talking to him and said sternly:

"How are you doing Nangong Qing?"

"Nangong Qing..."

The microphone on the camera disappeared, and the dozens of seconds of silence came to Hou Ping as long as a century. He was so anxious that he wanted to know the safety of his wife.

After a while, the person in charge finally spoke again:

"She's very good!"

"You are lying!"

"I don't have to lie to you"

Hou Ping was half-believing and half-doubted about the words of the person in charge. He did not have the need to deceive himself. In his eyes, he was just a poor little mouse, and he didn't bother to deceive himself. But what was the familiar smell he smelled when he was unconscious? Hou Ping believed that he had not made any mistakes. Could it be that it was really just an illusion that appeared when he was dying?

"I want to see evidence that she lives safely outside! Otherwise... or I will give up struggling in the next rejection reaction!"

Hou Ping thought about it and confirmed that only this could threaten them. His experiment had reached a certain stage. At this time, the sudden death of the experimental subject should be a very heavy blow to them - at least more important than the safety of an irrelevant woman! Whether they brought their wives into the research institute or not, using this as a bargaining chip will definitely ensure her safety.

"Don't be excited! We'll find evidence for you right away. You'll have to wait for two days..."

After Hou Ping counterattacked, the person in charge appeared in a hurried sense of panic and hurriedly ended his conversation with Hou Ping. It seemed that this project was not generally important to him.

Hou Ping, who got the exact answer, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay back on the hospital bed. After this period of life and death training, he seemed to be qualified to negotiate conditions with the experimental base. Although he had very few bargaining chips, so far, he had only done so much for his family. As long as he did not die for a day, they would be safe for the time being.

A few days later, the base indeed sent an additional video material. The entire edited video lasted for more than an hour, most of which were taken by his wife's outdoor activities. In conjunction with some backgrounds that could show time and place, he fully answered Hou Ping's doubts.

"How is it? It's time to rest assured now?"

It seems that his cooperation has a crucial impact on their research results. The person in charge has been observing him through the camera just now, and as soon as he put down the equipment, he was anxious to ask about the results.

Hou Ping did not answer him positively, but asked another question:

"What are you trying to achieve when you turn me like this?"

"Purpose? Our goal is to open the path of human evolution. We have entered the best era - but also the worst! Meteorites have opened the evolutionary path of the entire world. All species that have failed in this competition can only be destroyed in the distant river of history. Do you know? After breaking through to the fourth level, creatures will enter a new world, calling the wind and rain, swallowing clouds and spitting thunder, mastering the power that only exists in these myths. Later, moving mountains and filling the seas and changing the world is not impossible! Can you imagine that human beings will enter a glorious mythological era! "

"Move mountains and seas? The world is easy to break? You have no fear of power!"

Thinking of the power of his every move in his dream, Hou Ping couldn't help but shudder. The powerful force can only be used for killing and destruction. When people's ideological realm has not been improved to the level, they will undoubtedly take the initiative to open Pandora's magic box and let the whole world go to the brink of destruction.

"Awe? Isn't the power used to control people?"

"I don't understand you researchers are addicted to power research, but I know that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility - while you gain strength, you are already responsible for the safety of the world, because your every move may cause great harm to the world."

"What a strange statement, I realized that you are so second-class."

No, I'm not a secondary! Imagine what the world of nuclear bombs that everyone fires up to be detonated? I have this idea because I already know that those forces are terrible!

Hou Ping was shouting desperately in his heart, but he did not express his thoughts directly. That extremely realistic dream must have something, and those cards that may become his escape base!

"Get a good rest! The timeliness of the stabilizing agent have passed today, and your rejection reaction may begin at any time. I hope you can survive it smoothly..."

Perhaps because he was not interested in talking to Hou Ping, the person in charge of the base suddenly became distracted. After a brief explanation, there was no news again.

Hou Ping didn't care. What he wanted to understand the most now was why he had such a strange dream after transplanting crystals. How could he reach the height of those creatures in the dream? Judging from their performance in battle, their strength could completely crush all the defense forces in the base, which meant that he had the chance to see the light of day again!

Hou Ping, who was full of worries, moved his body. The lack of some organs often made Hou Ping feel a little empty. Suddenly, he was deprived of his human identity and made him feel a little confused. Hou Ping didn't ask what the crystal on his body was and what function it had, because it would probably be dismissed by the people at the base with state secrets that could not be disclosed casually.

My only way out is to find out the use of that crystal and use it to escape from this demon cave!

Hou Ping, who felt a little tired, lay back on the upper eyelids of the hospital bed, and soon entered a deep sleep.

"I heard you are looking for me?"

In the darkness, Hou Ping suddenly heard such a voice, and his body was unable to move, and his heart was panicked.

"Who? Who is there!"

""It's really troublesome!"

After muttering the voice, the entire dark world was replaced by orange. A red-skinned demon with a head, a horned, and a winged demon walked towards Hou Ping step by step on the flames...
