Guan Zhongping pursued the spirit in the underground tunnel for two minutes, but suddenly he could no longer feel the spirit's breath, as if it had suddenly evaporated.
Soon, when Guan Zhongping was looking around, a search and rescue team composed of more than 30 AI personnel also caught up with him.
Guan Zhongping chose to forcibly suppress the mutated genes in his body to return his body's external appearance to normal. For a sleeper, he definitely didn't want anyone to spy on his strongest body, not even his own people.
The ai people communicated urgently with Guan Zhongping and began to search around, but still found no trace of Ling.
This made Guan Zhongping very confused. He asked himself that as long as the spirit was still alive, it would be impossible to avoid his own perception!
Did it evolve? Or... was it killed by the beam of light you just fired?
Can't?
Even if it was really shot to death, it would be impossible for the remaining energy of its body to disappear so quickly?
Even the experienced Guan Zhongping could not explain this phenomenon. He was very anxious. When he was about to explore a deeper location, he suddenly heard an AI man shouting: "An unknown creature was found here...
Body!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhongping rushed over and saw an extremely wrinkled "shell" in a narrow tunnel. It was next to a mound of earth and was extremely shriveled.
The shell was lifeless and irregular in shape, a bit like a deflated rubber ball. There was an obvious puncture wound on the upper left side of the shell, and the outer surface was full of wrinkles, like an old lady's cheek.
Although this shell looked strange, Guan Zhongping recognized it at a glance. This was the spirit that had just been hit by his own beam of light!
In order to confirm this fact, Guan Zhongping immediately squatted down and carefully turned over the shell with his hands. Then he looked down and saw eight limbs growing under the shell, but they were also extremely shriveled.
When touched, fragments and powder were produced.
This is undoubtedly the body of the spirit!!! Is it really dead?
Guan Zhongping looked at this body with a pale face, whose inner flesh, flesh, and cells had completely disappeared, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.
He thought of a possibility! Highly intelligent mutated creatures may choose to commit suicide when faced with an unsolvable desperate situation. The methods may be various, but the ultimate goal is the same.
That is to completely decompose one's own mutated cells, or to wither extremely: or to burn all cell tissues through its own energy, etc.
There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to ensure that one's genes will not be robbed and controlled by hostile creatures through some means. Similar creatures have a very high level of intelligence, and they even have the concept of blood.
Guan Zhongping was convinced that his attack just now might have a small chance of causing Ling's death, but it would definitely not turn the opponent into a shriveled, crispy body in a short period of time.
Did it really commit suicide? After this idea came to Guan Zhongping's mind, he froze in place, deafened in both ears, and obviously in a trance.
At the same time, while searching other tunnels, the AI suddenly shouted: "Report!! I found the search and rescue target!"
…
Ten minutes later, a large number of staff, totaling three to four hundred, had gathered at the exit of Tunnel No. 3 on the ground.
Standing at the front, in addition to Minister Huang, Director Lailai, and Minister Qian Ming of the base, were Kaka's parents, as well as Zhang Yunxi and others who had just come up from below.
Under the eager gaze of everyone, a dozen safety ropes hanging in the tunnel were being pulled rhythmically by the restraining equipment.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the tunnel.
Soon a figure appeared in everyone's sight. He was fixed on a bag similar to a fishing net, and his body was fixed by ropes. He was lying there curled up, with his eyes closed.
"Gudong!"
There was a muffled sound, and when Mrs. Jing saw Kaka lying on the bag, she collapsed emotionally, collapsed on the ground, and burst into tears.
Just now, the AI team searching and rescuing underground reported to the police that they had found Jing Tianran and that he still had vital signs.
The news exploded in the base, and many staff members who were resting or sleeping rushed to the scene. At this moment, when everyone saw Kaka being dragged out of the tunnel alive, they all burst into cheers.
"it's over!!"
"This young man can do it! He has been in his thirties for over 30 years! How strong his willpower is!"
"...!"
Everyone looked at Kaka shouting excitedly, and then there was a burst of applause from the surrounding area.
For many people, the name Jing Tianran may be a symbol, but it is also this symbol that has been ringing in everyone's minds for a month. They dig mountains and dig the earth and work endlessly, all for this.
Symbol!
At this moment he was rescued, the depression and fatigue in everyone's hearts disappeared in an instant, and they were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.
"call!!"
When Zhang Yunxi saw Kaka being rescued, he let out a long sigh and couldn't help but raise his arm and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Quick, get out of the way!! Get out of the way!" Minister Huang greeted everyone, and his mood was very high: "Pull the hover car over!"
When he shouted, the medical suspension vehicle that had been parked here for more than a month and was on standby immediately rushed to the designated location. More than 20 staff from the medical department carefully lifted Kaka out and immediately sent him to the vehicle.
Treatment was launched.
Lao Jing helped his wife on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "...it will be good if you come back, it will be good if you come back, don't cry, let's follow her!"
"...Is the medical quality here good? How about we just change places?" The wife asked in a trembling voice while wiping her tears.
Lao Jing looked at him: "This is the base of the Supervision Bureau!! A regional unit! Do you still need to question his level? It's okay, our son will definitely be able to escape!"
The man came out, but whether he could be revived was still a question. The couple walked towards the motorcade together with worries.
Among the crowd, Guan Zhongping, who was a little distracted at first, was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and glanced at the medical vehicle with a frown.
He looked over through his old glasses, observed for a short while, slowly unfurled his brows, and finally left silently.
…
Half an hour later, Kaka was sent to the base medical department. Almost at the same time, experts from the Biological Institute and the medical team in Chidu set out with special equipment to prepare for Kaka's treatment.
After people came out, the leaders and staff of the base all breathed a sigh of relief. After more than a month of work, this matter finally came to an end.
Although one of the two rescue targets has died, it was a serious human-induced injury after all, and Kaka's successful escape also allowed the investigation team to give an explanation to the superiors.
However, the leaders' joy was quickly diluted because Ling's body was also transported out shortly after.
An unknown creature with immeasurable potential could have allowed Red Zone to take off completely in the field of evolvers, but unfortunately... it died.
…
Six hours passed, in the conference room of Qishan base.
The experts from the biology team took the report and said: "According to the test data we conducted on the spirit's body, the energy beam that Mr. Guan hit it was not enough to cause an immediate fatal result. Secondly, all the cells in its body were damaged.
It is already dead and there is no way to conduct further testing. In other words, Guan Lao's judgment is correct. It should have known that it was going to be captured alive and its body was severely injured, so it chose to use mutated energy to burn its cells to commit suicide.
the goal of."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.
"Are all cells dead? There is no other way to find out...!"
"No." The expert team member interrupted a leader's speech, shook his head and said: "The suicide method of burning cells through mutated energy is just like humans putting their bodies in a high-temperature furnace of more than 5,000 degrees.
Completely burned. Our current technical means... are powerless to do this, and perhaps it will be difficult to do in another two hundred years. The only gain so far is that the body of the spirit can be made into a specimen and placed in a biological exhibition hall.
Inside!"
"...!!"
When Minister Huang heard this, he held it in for a long time and said, "Why put it there to make the European organizations laugh?"
"Let me say a few words." Director Lai Lai interjected from the side: "Discovering a spirit is an unexpected surprise in the rescue work. To put it mildly, it would be the best if we can get him, but it doesn't matter if we can't get him.
Loss. In this situation, even if you put it on the European side, there is nothing you can do. It wants to cremate itself, and there is no external interference around it. If you put it on the European side, the result will be the same."
Minister Huang pondered for a long time, then stood up and said: "That's it. The biology team will issue a detailed report. Old Liu, you also talk to Mr. Guan, record the situation in the form of video, and then record the memory of the AI search and rescue team.
Send a copy of the image to Chidu and the matter will be settled."
"good!!"
"Meeting adjourned!!" Minister Huang waved his hand and left.
In this way, the spirit that everyone had been thinking about suddenly died without warning, which caused many biological experts who were obsessed with this to collapse emotionally. They originally had high hopes for the spirit, and even thought that if they could get it in Chi District, what would happen in the red area?
Exploration in various fields will lead to significant growth in leadership.
For example, brain medicine will benefit a lot from this, but it is a pity that it committed suicide!!
…
Within the base.
After Zhang Yunxi went to the medical department to observe Kaka's condition, she headed to the dormitory.
He also learned that Ling was dead, but he was not as pessimistic as those at the base! Because he knew that there was another person who might carry Ling's genetic cells.
About an hour later, Zhang Yunxi arrived at the door of Qin Yunming's room and raised his arms warily.
“Ding dong!!!”
"Yunming, you have a distinguished guest!"
The voice of the AI butler resounded in the room.
