Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 163
The author has something to say: The front row reminds that although the first half of this chapter is Arnold’s independent exploration line, it is still very important (it belongs to the part that must be written), please be patient and watch it (there are responses to the previous foreshadowing, and there are also place hinting at the future)
Also, sorry for being late~
When Arnold woke up, he found himself back in a familiar place.
The long and narrow streets are lined with shops on both sides, and the asphalt concrete roads are painted with traffic safety warning lines.
Going along this road, there is a large shopping mall, all white, with prominent signs.
The man frowned, and the first reaction was that the idol sent him back to the alien dimension in the jungle—
But it’s not right, the government has completely blocked the space, and the “executor” is the only one left in the Federation.
The other party’s space blockade is still unsolvable, unless he himself disobeys the government order.
Moreover, this place was a little different from what he had in mind. For example, in the bookstore he had been to, in the small bookshelves, Arnold once again found the familiar book that should have been lying in the database of the Science Department. —
“Eye of Horus…” The corners of his lips ticked indistinctly, thinking of the girl who was near Chi Chi at that time, and her panicked blue eyes, as if hiding some secret.
She seems to always have a lot of secrets. At the beginning, Arnold once suspected that she was a **** thrown by the government or a certain force. It was only after getting along with her that she realized that these secrets were her own.
Scientists are instinctively curious about deciphering the unknown.
So he couldn’t help but look at her again and again, right?
He put down the mysterious ancient book, walked out of the bookstore, and walked all the way along the empty avenue towards the industrial area.
The flying giant anaconda kept feeding him a message that he couldn’t ignore—
The air, soil, moisture, gravity… are completely different from the towns at that time.
And as a water power user, Arnold can feel that there is an extremely abundant amount of water nearby for him to drive.
It’s like being wrapped in the middle of the ocean.
In order to verify his guess, the silver-haired sentinel sent the giant boa to continue to detect at high altitude, while he walked steadily forward, crossing the familiar manor, and heading straight for the human breath he sensed.
In a room of the underground research institute.
The crowd of humanoid creatures nestled in the cockpit made a “ho-ho” sound.
In front of him is a pile of test tubes and medicines, and in front of him is a huge display screen emitting blue light, and the pattern inside is an enlarged image of the gene chain.
And when Arnold pushed in the door, what he saw was such a strange scene.
That humanoid creature… well, to be precise, it was something that could barely be called a creature with swollen eyes and swollen eyes. It slowly turned its head and looked at the person who came.
Arnold doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods, so naturally he won’t be frightened by the other party’s appearance, and he can clearly feel that the other party’s breath belongs to [human beings] – or, at least it used to be [human beings].
“Can you still talk?” Arnold walked over, glanced at the other party’s gesture of holding the experimental tool, and there was a strange look in his eyes, “You…”
“Hohoho…” The other party made a vague sound similar to a beast, but it was not aggressive, but weak, “Hoho…”
“It seems that your vocal cords have degenerated,” Arnold looked him up and down, “Look at your clothes, is it a researcher here? But the history of this ruin goes back 100,000 years, how did you survive? “
The humanoid “jumped” down from the cockpit. He was small, like a dwarf.
“Where do you want to take me?” Arnold had passed the Sentinel’s super perception before entering this place called “Canterlot Corporation”, and discovered that there are a lot of aliens hidden here-
The number is more than the last time I came to this town.
Could it be that this monster wants to draw out aliens to solve his “invader”?
Out of faint curiosity, Arnold did not take action against the nimble little man in front of him, but followed him to the next room.
Then, the silver-haired sentinel saw a large number of aliens sleeping in the liquid.
“You mean… you made this?” Arnold looked down at the monster.
The other party shook his head and made a rapid “hohohoho” sound, and a pair of wet eyes appeared from the hair on his face, and there were bloodshots that burst out when he was excited.
Very good, Arnold can now confirm that there is indeed a [person] in front of him, and there will be emotional and rational people, and nothing else.
“Calm down, you brought me to see these things, shouldn’t it be for me to wake them up?” Arnold knew the use of this rapid cooling liquid. As long as all the liquid was drained, the frozen experimental subjects would wake up. .
“Hoho!” The monster shook his head vigilantly, and used his body to separate Arnold from these liquid warehouses.
This makes Arnold realize that this guy takes these aliens very seriously, and he takes them emotionally.
“You know them?”
The monster raised its head, and a lot of tears flowed out of those already wet eyes.
“Ho **** ho ho…”
“Ho **** ho ho…”
He kept repeating it.
Arnold’s rational brain quickly began to turn, and he thought it should be a help or a request.
“If you want me to do something, you’d better give me more information.”
The monster was silent for a moment, and then took Arnold to the next room, where there was only a freezer.
“The first generation of immortality warehouse developed in the Blue Star era,” Arnold recognized what it was with just a glance, because this thing was still put in the museum as a science prop for children in the federal era, “In the end, the old man who has no time to escape. Human beings are fooled, as long as they lie in and sleep, they can wake up in the new era.”
This is pure IQ tax.
Because human beings have not yet researched immortality, the result of freezing cells with ultra-low temperature is that the cells are completely damaged, and they cannot wake up even if they want to wake up.
“Don’t tell me you have lived from the end of the world to the present with this thing?” The great scientist suddenly narrowed his eyes and stopped.
“Hoho…” The monster nodded, then mumbled inexplicably there.
Arnold took a serious look at the monster this time, and had an idea in his heart to pack it back to the Science Department.
If this is really a creature from the Blue Star era, then their genetic engineering will definitely have new breakthroughs.
This is a discovery almost as important as the genetic stock solution.
It seemed that he noticed that the sight of the silver-haired sentry became strange, the monster shivered, and then quickly rushed to another room.
Arnold glanced at the communicator that still had no signal, and the information fed back by his spiritual beast from a distance, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger:
This is a planet whose area is 99% ocean, and where you are is 1% land?
wait…that’s not…
The man’s pupils contracted slightly, and because of the ups and downs of his emotions, the surrounding water mist became more and more dense.
“This is the real Blue Star, not the sealed town.”
Arnold remembered clearly the closed ancient Blue Star town in the second ruin. Every part of it was the ecology of Blue Star, but it was a fragmented space, as if someone had cut it from the Blue Star. Thrown on the Valentine’s Star.
Very good, the usually calm blood of the silver-haired sentinel has completely boiled, but there is still no change in the iceberg face.
“The only doubts left now are…” He raised the communicator, adjusted a signal receiving device inside, and successfully connected a remote signal wave, “Time.”
Along with his voice, the communicator with the signal slowly presented a brand new interface:
Ying blue cursor, above is the flow of data.
Arnold looked at the unfamiliar words, activated the translation function of the communicator without hesitation, and soon got the most prominent news on the first page:
“Emergency Wanted Order: There is a rebellion on the planet Sora in the Large Magellanic System, and the three prisoners are on the run. If you find the prisoner, please notify the military police of the Tarian family in time. There is no upper limit on the reward! 》
The accompanying picture is a straight shot of three faces.
A red-haired sentinel, a black-haired sentinel, and a blonde girl.
Among the three, the blond girl’s bounty was the highest.
“It turned out to be all there.” Before Arnold had time to smile, he caught a glimpse of the communication time below the message:
[Ephemeris 4725 Years]
“It seems that I guessed right,” the man recalled his giant boa, and the thoughts in his mind were already very clear, “This is not the love star of the Federation era, but 50,000 years ago. The ancient blue star that has not disappeared. .”
This small town is still intact, not the closed space on the Lover Star.
This underground research institute should be the R&D department of a biomedical company in the Blue Star era, and it has boldly set its sights on the extreme of human evolution—
eternal life.
This can explain why these genetically modified aliens can live into the federation era, and they are still in the ruins and cause them a lot of trouble as guards.
“As for the guy just now, it should be a failed experiment, so he retains the reason and emotions that belong to human beings…”
Arnold was in a trance for a moment: if he evolved to the peak, he must abandon the part that belongs to the human being and become another species, like these aliens, without consciousness, memory and emotion, like walking with the dead, is that still immortal?
As the leader of the Federation’s Human Genome Project, he first fell into contemplation of this path.
“Catch him over and ask.” Perhaps out of the idea of not wanting to take the “wrong way”, Arnold decided to find the dwarf who was suspected of being a researcher to see what the other party wanted to do.
Soon, in a small dark room, Arnold caught the monster.
The other party seemed to have given up the struggle, holding a small gray machine and pretending to be dead on the floor.
“This is important to you?” Arnold raised his eyebrows, bent down and took away what the other party was desperately holding, and knocked, “A mobile phone from the Blue Star era?”
“Ho **** ho!” The other party looked like he was going to pounce on him.
Arnold easily trapped him with the current, and twirled the one-handed machine to find a way to turn it on.
When it was turned on, the small grid that seemed to show the amount of energy flickered, and it looked like it was going to shut down due to lack of energy.
However, this is not difficult for Arnold, who was once known as a mechanical genius in the academy.
Soon, Arnold, who used hydroelectric power to generate electricity, turned on the phone that was about to crash with a blank face, and then saw the photo of the lock screen.
A small man, wearing a white lab coat, holding two beakers, smiled and took pictures with his relatives and friends beside him.
There is also a line of English words engraved on it. As an expert on the ancient blue star, Arnold quickly deciphered the meaning of the sentence:
[Applaud the 100th invention of the world’s smartest Dr. Anle Canterlot – Immortality Potion! 】
Arnold glanced at the monster in the water. “Canterlot? Are you the owner of this company?”
“Hoho…” The other party nodded weakly, “Hohohoho…”
Arnold continued to look at the phone, and then roughly understood the identity of the other party in the Blue Star era from the other party’s social software—
A genius doctor of biomedicine, he invented many special medicines and is famous all over the world. He developed his own independent brand company with a lot of patent fees, that is, the Canterlot company, and built a small town with the purpose of benefiting mankind. Underground Research Institute.
Due to the generosity of this doctor, the townspeople can often get special medicines that are hard to buy from the outside world, so the relationship between the company and the townspeople has always been very good.
Until the end of the day, this small town became the last miracle place of Ancient Blue Star that was not washed away by the flood.
But they have no way to get food, and the resources stored in the town are limited.
In order to allow people in the small town to survive, scientists have made a lot of efforts in underground research institutes, such as this immortal medicine, which can transform people into existences that can retain consciousness without eating or drinking.
And the lock screen photo is the commemoration of the scientist who developed this medicine.
Arnold turned off the phone, and threw the item back to the already powerless monster: “It seems that these aliens are indeed your masterpieces—or, rather, the masterpieces of your immortality potion.”
The poor and kind scientist thought that he had created hope, but in the end he could only watch the townspeople taking the medicine slowly mutate and gradually become mindless monsters.
This is the origin of so many aliens in this town.
The dwarf, or Dr. Canterlot, seemed to have tears in his eyes, his teeth rattling.
Arnold felt that he had already explored the secrets of this place, so he ignored the poor creature on the ground and began to plan how to leave Blue Star.
As for this self-inflicted scientist, Arnold thought about it and decided to draw a tube of blood before leaving.
Although he suspects that the other party’s genetic mutation has been “contaminated”.
Arnold controlled the water polo and dragged the person back to the first room. He remembered that there were a lot of experimental equipment there, there should be syringes and the like.
And just as the silver-haired sentinel was boredly picking out the messy reagent bottles on the table, the trapped guy suddenly let out a sharp howl—
“Crazy?” Arnold frowned.
“Ho ho… ah ah… save… **** ho… save them…” Dr. Canterlot’s voice was very hoarse, but Arnold could still hear the familiar pronunciation.
Old Blue Star’s English.
“Who to save?” He was a little troubled. “Wouldn’t it be the mutant humans you killed?”
The little Dr. Canterlot was as if his throat had been sawn through: “Ho… I… tens of thousands of years… **** ho… talking…”
“I know you haven’t spoken for tens of thousands of years,” Arnold expressed understanding. “Just like muscle atrophy, your vocal cords will also degenerate. It seems that you haven’t completely mutated into another thing.”
If there is value in communication, the silver-haired sentinel suddenly felt that he could take the other party away.
Arnold gets a new story under the on-again, off-again narration of the other side.
“So, before you were sent to the freezer, the immortality potion you drank was effective, but everyone else mutated after drinking it?”
“The townspeople sent you to the freezer while you were asleep, hoping that you would not be harmed by the mutants?”
Dr. Canterlot made a desperate and distressed “ho-ho” sound.
He regards all the residents of the town as the last hope of mankind in the apocalypse. He studies the secrets of genes day and night, but he never expects that the medicine he has personally tested will cause irreversible destruction to others.
And the townspeople, who knew all of this, still didn’t blame him, but sent him into the freezer, protecting him until death.
Then, he woke up 50,000 years later, and in this strange era, all the townspeople became aliens, and only he was still alive.
“Save them… **** ho ho…” Dr. Canterlot’s vocal cords have been frozen because of being in the freezer for too long. He can only make this kind of air sound at ordinary times, and his hands have long degenerated and can’t write. any text.
The fact that he can make these sounds at this time is entirely supported by his will to save the townspeople.
He didn’t know who the man in front of him was, but he still smelled the same kind of breath.
Cold, precise, rational, inquisitive and curious about the unknown… He must be an excellent scientist.
And Arnold just squatted down, giving this old human wise man a respectful look:
“You know that once a gene changes, it is irreversible.”
“Sorry, I can’t save them.”
In the long silence, the eyes meet—
A pair of young, cold, rational and rigorous;
A pair of crazy, desperate, desperate.
“You look like **** ho… When I was young…”
Dr. Canterlot’s breathing was getting weaker and weaker, but there was still an unwilling neigh in his throat.
“I always thought… I was in control of… everything…”
“I thought… no matter what… you can change your destiny…”
Arnold looked coldly at the guy in front of him who was obviously crazy because of despair: “But I will never be like you, betting on an uncertain possibility with myself and the people I care about, and then regretting it too much.”
“Hohohoho…” At this time, Dr. Canterlot’s voice was more like a laugh, with compassion, not knowing whether it was pity for himself or others, “When I’m about to lose… I will bet **** ho ho…”
He was also once the greatest Doctor Blue Star who wanted to save mankind.
But when he lost important people, the elixir of immortality became his only hope.
He wants to keep important people, so it doesn’t matter if he gives everything.
Those aliens are his guilt and proof that he has worked hard.
Arnold shook his head: “You’re crazy.”
In the realm of science, losing one’s senses means losing control and, eventually, destruction.
When Dr. Canterlot closed his eyes, he finally left Arnold with a sentence:
“Hoho…the secret of genes…it’s here…”
Arnold shook him, but couldn’t feel any pulse in the body.
died?
The silver-haired sentinel was a little unwilling, and he didn’t know why he suddenly felt pity for such a poor and crazy old human.
After a long silence, he put down the other’s body, stood up, and looked at the bright blue screen that he had ignored for a long time.
It was his unfamiliar genetic helix.
The silver-haired sentinel touched his fingers slightly, but saw a small bottle with pale yellow liquid popped up somewhere in the test bench.
There is a note in English on the bottle:
[An Lei Canterlot’s serum before taking the medicine]
Arnold gripped the bottle tightly and glanced at the man on the ground again—
“Is this… the gift you gave me?”
The most primitive genetic stock solution is here.
The Starport Security Checkpoint in Atlantis.
The blue-haired girl with a ponytail and wearing a Star Harbor staff uniform chewed gum and dragged a large cargo box more than two meters high with one hand.
The military police at the security check stopped her: “Stop, show your ID!”
“No,” the girl with high cheekbones said impatiently with a cold face, “Have you looked at it? The Tarian family’s emergency transportation sticker is attached to it. It’s in a hurry, and it delays the adults. Are you responsible for anything?”
“Can…”
The military police were a little hesitant when they saw the huge red label.
This moment gave the blue-haired girl a chance. She squeezed directly into the aisle and shouted:
“Hey, don’t get in my way. I know a lot of big people in the Tarian family. Believe it or not, bother me again, so that you can’t eat and walk around?”
Under the girl’s bossy attitude, several military police were immediately suppressed by their arrogance and could only watch her and the cargo box go away.
“But recently, we have been asked to investigate… It is said that there are wanted criminals running around, and there are two S-class sentries inside!” One of the military police murmured in a low voice.
“Boy, do you know what that label means?” The older companion next to him patted him on the shoulder, “Once the Tarian family uses that thing, it means that the thing to be transported is selected by the top few. .”
“To put it bluntly, it is a tribute. It has been screened for a long time. It’s not your turn to check, understand?”
…
On the other side, the blue-haired girl who dragged the cargo box into the warehouse area looked around and made sure that no one kicked the three-legged box:
“Come out.”
Soon, a small narrow door opened on the side of the box.
The first one who jumped out was the blond lady with a pale pink face and angry eyes, holding her skirt. At this time, her hair was all coiled up, and a few strands of hair fell down to her cheeks in embarrassment, red. The lips were more delicate than usual, and looked like they were bitten.
“You two…is there something wrong?”
She stared at the two people in the small door, obviously lingering anger.
Immediately after that came out the equally annoyed black-haired boy, with a blush on his fair face that could not be concealed, and his crow-feather-like eyes with a bit of poison, he glanced at the person inside: “Phoenix… Egbert is not yet. Your partner, don’t take the oath of sovereignty with me!”
The last one who came out of the cargo box unhurriedly was a red-haired man with messy hair, and his red-gold eyes looked back at the black-haired boy indifferently: “She is indeed my partner, no matter whether you admit it or not. No. Besides, taking the opportunity to take advantage of her is a villain’s behavior, I hope you know.”
“Fini—” This is the eldest lady with a flushed face, “He gave me a hand, just a little, didn’t you… make up for it later?”
However, the anger that the two men were holding in the cargo box had not been released.
Sean: “I just hug her, you won’t be jealous, will you?”
Phoenix: “Only losers bark.”
Noah looked at them with arms folded, only to feel very tired: “Hey, let’s go, those ordinary people are still waiting for us to rescue them in another warehouse.”
Bi Ming coughed and took Noah’s arm: “Let’s go first, dear.”
The blue-haired girl turned her head to look at her, only to see that the girl’s lips were red with water, and she whispered in her ear:
“Your man is jealous again?”
“Don’t talk about it, that guy knew that the cargo box was narrow, so he had to squeeze it in.” The eldest lady blushed, “And then Sean got too close. When the box was going uphill, I could only lean back. Kindly gave me a hand…Finny just got angry, and he hugged me all the way from now on…”
Noah looked back at the red-haired man with a calm face, and could not see that there was such a capricious side under the cold image of the other party.
And she also fully understood why the other black-haired man looked like he wanted to kill.
“By the way, what are your plans next?” Noah decided to change the topic of safety.
“It’s like this, um…” Bi Ming leaned into Noah’s ear, “It’s actually related to you.”
“I?”
“I saw that picture of you in that storage room, sorry,” Bi Ming took Noah’s hand and shook it gently, “I also saw the Atlantean language written on the back, so Thought you should have… been here?”
“You said that,” Noya was unexpectedly calm, “the parents who left me here? Actually, I haven’t seen them for more than ten years, and I guess I don’t know them face to face now.”
“No, I mean, you can use your memory to help us think about it, is there a place here, a temple or a primitive tribe or something?”
Noah turned her head and stared at her fixedly: “The temple… what is it?”
Bi Ming sighed, it turned out that even Noah didn’t know.
But it’s normal. The goddess hasn’t appeared yet, and it’s even more impossible for the temple to be built.
So without the idol, how will they find a way back?
The white dove on the shoulders of the blond girl also tilted her head, showing the same confused eyes as its owner.
