The pure silvery white that people once remembered covering everything has become dirty, and the color in the snow is contaminated with a lot of fly ash.
It was the ashes of countless burning cities, perhaps with the smell of blood, or the radiation residue left by missiles and nuclear bombs. Experts in the Dawn Alliance judged that the color of the snow would not change even after hundreds of years.
"Black Snow..."
“It’s only been less than two years since the end of the world, right??”
Le Zhiqi stood on the top floor of the research institute, letting the snowflakes fall on her body. Although it contained a large amount of harmful substances, it was nothing to a "Legendary Mithril" level human being.
Dr. Wei Xianjian appeared next to him.
There was a researcher next to her who held an umbrella for her, and together they enjoyed the black and dirty snow scene.
"Everything has changed."
"Our descendants may only see in textbooks...the color of snow is originally white."
The dark circles under Wei Xianjian's eyes became more and more serious. She took out a box of precious cigarettes from her arms, lit one and let the smoke slowly mist, and the black snow surrounding it dissipated.
sorrow.
Wei Xianjian seems to have seen the future.
When a child asks the teacher what "white snow" means, what should the teacher's expression look like, and how should he explain that the color of snow is not dirty and dull?
"Lord Gu Fan has been in seclusion for more than two months."
Le Zhiqi was a little worried and turned to Dr. Wei Xianjian and asked: "How is the situation??"
Dr. Wei Xianjian shook his head: "The underground experimental base where Gu Fan is located has been completely sealed. Even I cannot check the specific situation below the experimental base, but I can detect that the energy fluctuations are getting stronger and stronger."
The underground experimental base where Gu Fan is located has been completely sealed at this time, and all experimental personnel have been evacuated. The secret underground base has now become a "dead zone" and no one is allowed to enter.
No one knows what the situation is.
Perfect evolution... An existence of Gu Fan's level has lasted for more than two months. I really don't know how strong he will become after completion.
"Those people are..."
Dr. Wei Xianjian stood on the top floor, leaning on the protective railing and looking into the distance. There were lights and colorful decorations near the residential area. Everyone's face was beaming with joy, and the gathering was quite lively. It is rare to see such a scene in the apocalypse.
"Doctor, you have stayed in the laboratory for too long."
Le Zhiqi laughed at Wei Xianjian and explained: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Since the end of the world, people have experienced countless sufferings and torture, and now there are only a few who can enjoy the misery."
New Year?
This is a word that feels so ancient.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, people no longer remember the "New Year" celebrations, they only remember living in hiding.
But things are different now. The Dawn Alliance has gradually developed. More than a month has passed since the last great zombie wave. People have recuperated and planted a lot of golden barley, and they have also experienced two bumper harvests.
Coupled with the successful breeding of black golden cattle, people can live a good life. Although the level is far lower than before the apocalypse, they can still survive.
Going from house to house, I remembered the tradition of "Chinese New Year" again.
People put blessing characters on their doors, cut window grilles, wrote couplets, and gathered together to celebrate the first real New Year after the end of the world.
"Has it been more than a month since the great zombie wave?"
Dr. Wei Xianjian was a little surprised, and time passed too fast without realizing it.
Le Zhiqi nodded: "Everything has been taken care of at the Panshan base. They also ushered in their first bumper harvest, which made up for the shortage of food. The third batch of talents is about to be sent over, although there are many trivial matters in between.
A little friction, but nothing serious.”
"Anyway, we got through it."
Got through it.
The tens of millions of zombies were surrounded and exterminated, and it still gives people a feeling of shock. However, after more than a month of recuperation, both the Dawn Alliance and the Panshan Base have become more stable.
As the saying goes.
What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
Panshan Base also got what it wanted. A large amount of evolutionary fluid and "God's Ladder" hunter-specific medicine have been sent to Panshan Base.
They also have a large number of hunters and have established their own hunter troops. Although their combat capabilities are still a little immature, as long as they continue to participate in the battlefield, a large number of high-level elites will appear.
"All the scientific and technological information from Panshan Base has been sent, and there are also a large number of weapons research and development teams, all of whom are seizing the time to research new weapons."
Le Zhiqi stretched. She was really busy to the limit during this period, and continued to ask: "I came here this time just to know how your researchers are doing. Are their skills okay?
Is there anyone better than you?"
Dr. Wei Xianjian nodded: "Don't worry, most of the three batches of researchers sent have real materials, and at the worst they can serve as deputy, but..."
"But what?"
Wei Xianjian's face became a little worried and he continued: "It's just that recently they have been talking to Zhinao more and more frequently. Many researchers admire Zhinao very much and even regard it as a mentor in life."
After hearing this, Le Zhiqi's face changed slightly: "Is that mental pollution? Special materials should be able to block the invasion of mental consciousness."
Wei Xianjian shook his head: "No, it's not mental pollution. It is indeed very knowledgeable. We have learned a lot from Zhinao in the past month or so, solved many mysteries, and gained more research ideas...
…”
"It did not use any mental attacks, but with more and more frequent contact, people gradually recognized its thoughts, and even felt like they were being harassed."
xǐ nǎo?
It is not an intrusion and pollution of the spiritual consciousness.
It's similar to pyramid schemes, where you implement a certain theory of thought over and over again to make you feel that it makes sense, and you are finally convinced and approved of it.
Le Zhiqi looked a little strange: "How could this happen? Those researchers are all top students in the university. Many of them have master's degrees and PhDs. They have established their own three views. How can they be persuaded by a foreign species?"
Dr. Wei Xianjian dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and crushed it with his high heels: "Come with me. In fact, it's not just a matter of persuasion. One of our researchers has gone crazy, and he is also a stubborn and rigid old scholar.
"
What?
A stubborn old scholar who is over fifty years old and has authority has gone crazy?
Le Zhiqi also realized the seriousness of the problem and followed Wei Xianjian into the underground experimental base again.
Not long after, Le Zhiqi was taken into a closed laboratory, and there was only one person being held in this laboratory.
He was an old scholar with gray hair and bloodshot eyes. He was said to be a top authoritative figure in the world of biology, but now he was crazy and somewhat doubtful about life.
He kept writing and drawing on the wall, sometimes using English terms, sometimes using Chinese descriptions, but later they were replaced by pictographs of painted symbols, and the entire prison-like laboratory was soon filled with writing.
