Chapter 1085 Biologist, the gears of fate begin to turn!
boom!
Boom!
Thunder and lightning flashed in the dark sky, and raindrops fell from high places, hitting the dry and hard soil and splashing some small craters.
A slightly cold wind blew from a distance, bringing a hint of night rain and winter chill to the empty land.
According to the solar terms of the wasteland and the arrangement of the game, January is already the last solar term of autumn.
In February, winter begins.
Under the long-awaited heavy rain, the temperature began to gradually drop.
Crouching in a temporary crenel on the wall of the Pumpkin Bunker, several guards tightened their tight-fitting clothes in front of the lit fire and looked forward with livid faces.
Faintly, the sky above Qinggang City seemed to be covered by a black shadow, which was thick and scary.
Farther away, there are countless black clouds gathering, and I don't know how heavy the rain will be.
Inside the Allied temporary camp.
There are already flashes of human figures, check the drain outlet to see if there is any debris piled up.
"Huh, it's really cold."
The older guard shuddered, which immediately caused the other new guards to nod.
There is no way, Qinggang City is on the edge of the tropics in Blue Star, and the coldest time throughout the year is only about 10 degrees.
Under normal circumstances, the temperature basically stays between 25 degrees and 32 degrees.
And now the winter in the wasteland has just arrived, and the temperature at night has already dropped to the edge of freezing.
Coupled with the increasing humidity, it is as uncomfortable as scraping a bone with a steel knife.
Boom.
Suddenly, another dull sound erupted, mixed with some vibrations.
If it were normal, this sound might make the guards instantly alert.
But now that the thunder was rumbling, the guards on the city wall didn't pay attention, and instead retracted their heads.
Some residents in the bunker who were not asleep yet tightened their quilts to protect themselves from the cold.
No one noticed at all that a ground collapse occurred in the southeast direction of the bunker.
from the collapse.
Catalina crawled out in embarrassment, her whole body soaked by the rain that poured in.
Speaking of which, even though I have read the included escape tutorial many times, it is still very dangerous after the actual detonation.
Fortunately, everything is according to plan.
Feeling the cold wind blowing across my face and the cold rain beneath me.
Catalina greedily sucked in the earthy smell that was completely absent from the ground, and suddenly felt like she was back in the world.
During these days of staying in the shelter, the feeling of loneliness has doubled from the beginning, and it is almost crazy.
Now, as long as I can return to the academy alive.
Even if she died in the research room or on the operating table, she was willing to do so.
Of course, before this, Catalina shivered and did not forget the reward that needed to be paid.
She cautiously glanced at the surrounding neighborhoods and ducked into the alley.
An inconspicuous residence.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Feng Long, who was still warming himself by the fire, couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw Catalina walking in, all wet and covered in mud.
"Didn't you come out from under this house?"
"There was an accident. The exit here collapsed when it was detonated for the first time."
I'm not embarrassed to say that I lied about a fake location to prevent accidents from happening.
Catalina's face was full of embarrassment, but she still said quickly: "Let's go. If we stay any longer, I'm worried that someone will find out."
"Okay, we have prepared the airship. You can change into a raincoat before setting off."
As an enclave, Catalina still underestimated the alliance's penetration ability.
In fact, Feng Long inside the house had already received the news when the ground collapsed.
Now when she comes over, the airship is already ready in the backyard.
soon.
After putting on his raincoat, accompanied by Feng Long, the motorcycle airship took off from the backyard.
"Hold on tight, the weather is a bit bad today."
"OK."
Go to the territory of a strange ally and become their employee.
Although she didn't feel anything was wrong underground, Catalina only felt a little flustered when she came out.
Just like this dark rainy night.
The falling raindrops are her mood, sometimes dense and sometimes scattered.
boom!
A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, reflecting the airship flying out of the bunker.
The guards standing on the city wall were not surprised, but stood up spontaneously and watched the airship go away.
Maybe even if they knew it was them on the airship, they wouldn't come to rescue them, right?
Catalina turned around and took a look in confusion, but finally kept all her thoughts in her heart.
She knows.
From now on, my stalled life will set sail again.
Maybe it’s sailing to the sea of stars and exploring a whole new world.
Perhaps we are heading towards the boundless abyss again, and will be swallowed up by darkness if we are not careful.
But what she didn't know was that many years later she would recall this cold rainy night again.
There is only one sentence that always lingers in my mind.
It was from this moment that the gears of fate finally began to turn!
The first day of February in the second year of the wasteland at the end of the calendar.
Three o'clock at night.
As the excitement of escaping from death passed, the fatigue of traveling on a rainy night gradually came back.
Even though the airship has been designed to cut the wind for high-speed cruising, the temperature is still so cold that it makes your whole body stiff.
But as the dazzling warm yellow light passed through the slits of her eyes, Catalina, who was huddled behind the airship, cold and hungry, moved her brows.
Just open your mouth.
"Ugh! Cough cough cough cough"
A large gust of cold wind mixed with raindrops poured into her mouth, irritating her to retching continuously.
Fortunately, I didn't eat anything when I left the shelter yesterday, otherwise I might have vomited it out in the air right now.
"Well, we're here."
Feng Long slowed down, controlled the airship with one hand, and picked up the communicator with the other hand to start communication.
"The food has been prepared below, as well as ginger soup to ward off the cold."
"Are you okay?"
"It's not bad!" Catalina's lips had been frozen into purple, and her entire face was extremely pale.
But when she heard about the food and ginger soup, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
I have heard Nat say many times that the food in the Alliance is very delicious, and it is not inferior to the food in the Holy City.
Catalina didn't believe it at first, but as time went by, she became more hopeful.
Right now, as the airship lands in a camp that is obviously not yet completed.
As soon as it came to a stop, the surrounding guards rushed over.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's not easy at night."
Lu Zhou was wearing a raincoat and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming his identity again.
"It's okay. Apart from the cold spots, you don't have to worry about enemy sneak attacks in this environment."
After completing the handover procedures, Feng Long himself breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was quite cold after driving for two hours in this horrible weather.
Being able to hold on to the warning wall is already a strong will, but if you continue to go to Hope Village, you will definitely not be able to hold on.
Although the various scheduled disasters in the wasteland are very scary, this sudden change of weather may also cause small disasters.
For example, if the players who are landing in the New World are hit by the rain, it is estimated that many of them will catch colds and fevers.
Moreover, these people do not have medicine and ginger soup to dispel cold. If the rain continues for a few more days, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties!
At this time, while the group was talking, a group of people came towards the camp.
They saw Somo holding a black umbrella and walking towards them, surrounded by several guards.
Seeing the lord, Feng Long's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up straight and walked up.
"Lord, Catalina has been brought!"
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and rest."
Patting Feng Long on the shoulder, Su Mo nodded with a smile, and his eyes fell through the gap on the woman behind who was looking at the nearby woman curiously.
It is somewhat different from what is seen on the screen. Although Catalina is already over a hundred years old, her figure is like that of a young girl. There are almost no wrinkles on her face, and she is very well-maintained.
In a sense, his first compliment was really not an offense.
On the other side, as Somo appeared, Catalina also secretly looked at the man who had appeared on the screen many times.
Hmm.
He is indeed handsome. Apart from being a bit darker, he is even more handsome than those male models kept by noble ladies in the Holy City.
And compared to the male model, the manager of the Tianyuan Refuge has a very obvious and profound majesty.
She judged this when she looked at the respectful eyes of the guards around her.
As the master of thousands of slaves, she knew very well the difference between flattery and true respect.
Only true strength can make people spontaneously show this kind of gaze.
"How does it feel, to be free again, to be back on the ground breathing fresh air?"
Just when Catalina was trying to determine more information, Sumo had already walked closer and whispered softly.
"It's not bad. It would be better if it wasn't so cold."
"Then you have to get used to it quickly. It will definitely get colder and colder in the next few months."
Sumo laughed.
"Don't be so nervous, we are different from the humans on Blue Star."
As he spoke, he stopped his joking expression and stretched out his right hand from under his black raincoat.
"Let me introduce you again. My name is Sumo. I am the lord of this Tianyuan territory and the manager of Tianyuan Sanctuary. You can call me by my name directly without being too specific."
Looking at the big calloused hands in front of her, Catalina was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out her hands to hold them together in surprise.
Rough touch, with a little body temperature.
At the moment of contact, a clear sense of power came from the palm prints.
Isn't this manager engaged in scientific research? Why does he look more like a well-trained warrior?
However, while feeling doubtful, she did not forget to introduce herself again.
"Katerina, a second-level researcher in the college, belongs to the discipline of biogenetics. She has won three Genetic Progress Awards. She is good at biological sciences and has done some research on medicine, but she does not have much practical experience."
"medicine?"
After hearing Catalina's self-introduction, Sumo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So, have you read the body modification information I sent you before?"
"Of course I did."
Catalina smiled.
"The underground is so boring. Not only those materials, but also the expansion materials you distributed to me. I also took the time to read them all. They are very powerful. The person who designed this transformation concept must be an out-and-out genius. I dare
I guarantee that if she is in the academy, she will definitely become a full professor."
"Especially in the direction of transforming mechanical bodies with different attributes for disabled people, our previous idea was to use separate designs to minimize the occurrence of rejection. However, this data uses a gene fusion method to create something unique for each person.
If it can really succeed as an independent mechanical body, it would be incredible."
As soon as Catalina mentioned her area of expertise, she immediately became energetic, and the fatigue from the rush dissipated.
Seeing that she was planning to continue talking, and noticing the strange looks from the guards around her, Sumo coughed lightly.
"We can talk about this tomorrow. You are tired from traveling tonight, so you should finish your supper early and rest."
"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will introduce you to the person who invented this technology, and then you can have a good exchange."
"Really, the person who invented this technology is actually yours?"
Catalina was stunned for a moment, and then uncontrollable joy filled her face.
Speaking of which, this was one of the main reasons why she was willing to come out of the underground shelter.
The set of information sent by Soma seemed to have opened up a new world for her, and her mind was filled with ideas.
Especially when I lie down every night, the inspiration that comes to me is like a God-given, endless stream.
She originally guessed that this information was just Sumo's good luck.
But I never thought that the person who invented this technology is now in this Tianyuan territory?
"Otherwise, Blue Star doesn't have this kind of technology for ordinary people." Sumo replied in a gentle tone.
This is the truth.
Blue Star's scientific research is not slow in the direction of biological modification.
On the contrary, if you can afford the expensive fees, even disabled people can regenerate their severed limbs in a petri dish.
However, research on transformation aimed at ordinary people is basically a matter of asking people because there is no demand and no market.
"You are right, Blue Star's technology is only supplied to the upper class."
Catalina nodded thoughtfully, and then excitedly said nonchalantly: "I heard that the food here is comparable to that of the Holy City. Is it true? My ears are getting calloused every day when I hear what Nat says!"
"Haha, you have to try it to find out."
Pouting towards the kitchen, Sumo seemed to have seen the chef apprentices who were looking forward to it.
In their eyes, Catalina is like a large experience baby.
As long as you can get a satisfied nod, the added experience may bring a big surprise.
As for whether Catalina will be picky?
Sumo is not worried because his strong route talent has been proven more than once.
Wonderful taste must be shared among humans!
After a while.
Looking at the pile of empty plates on the table, Sumo's eyes widened.
Even Catalina, who had guessed that she had been trapped underground for half a year, would still eat ordinary food that was extremely sweet.
But he still didn't expect that this guy could eat so well.
"Hey, I have regular injections of active potions, so you don't have to worry about me overstuffing myself."
"Woo, this."
"This is called fried dumplings." The cook "Xiaocaibi" standing next to me hurriedly reminded.
“Fried dumplings, so delicious!”
call.
The moment the words fell, in the game panel that Catalina couldn't see, the experience bar suddenly increased by nearly 50%.
The cook next to him, who was still nervously clutching his apron, relaxed instantly and showed a satisfied smile.
Perhaps it is to prevent players from grinding experience against their will.
Compared with the meager experience provided by those in the territory, the sudden appearance of the indigenous people provided simply too much.
Of course, Xiao Caibi wouldn't know that.
There are not many people with the same status as Catalina in the entire city.
According to the game's algorithm, the status of researchers at the academy is much higher than that of the shelter managers in Qinggang City.
In the entire city, I am afraid that only Hades can be equal!
