lend me your genes

Chapter 11 Wild Animal City

Sunday was a sunny and sunny day, the sky was blue without a cloud, the air was fresh and slightly warm, and the breeze exuded the fragrance of green grass.

Li Yiqi wore a pair of sunglasses, and wandered around the Wild Animal City on a single-person yo-yo.

The yo-yo car is a new type of two-in-one sightseeing car that can be used as a car and a bicycle. It is smaller and lighter than the old man's car. It can be driven away by scanning the code at a specific location in the wild animal city. , billed by usage time.

Because of Li Yiqi's uncle's words, the flame that was forcibly extinguished was rekindled—he decided, he wanted to join the Geek Association!

But before joining, he had to change his ability.

The ability of Dead Insect Fragrance is usually not used, and it is too wasteful to occupy one of the two precious places.Electric eel shocks are cool, but they are not cost-effective. They often need to rest and recharge after a few discharges. It may not be as easy to use as a stun gun.

So he decided to find another new ability.

He didn't think about what to change for a while, but it didn't matter, he could look at these thousands of creatures, and he could always find the gene fragment he wanted.

Where are the most animals?

——It must be Wild Animal City.

Li Yiqi stomped on the pedals, almost exhausted.

Although the yo-yo is as small as a battery car with a cover, it is a car with a steering wheel, and it is much heavier to step on than an ordinary bicycle.On an April day, he was sweating all over in a daze.

In front of his single-person yo-yo car was an iron cage cart full of elementary school students, and a tour guide shouted to the elementary school students with a loudspeaker: "Kids, we have arrived at the Wild Animal City, is this place big? "

"Big--"

The elementary school students responded in unison, and after shouting, they giggled into one piece, grinning like trumpet flowers with gaping teeth.

Li Yiqi wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and she herself muttered bitterly in the car: "It's so big, it's so big that I broke my legs."

It's not easy to save some money.

There is no more economical transportation in Wildlife City.

The single-person yo-yo car is the smallest single-person tour car in Wild Animal City. It has a fully transparent glass cover, a 360-degree view, and a small space that can only accommodate one person.

It can be used as a bicycle with human feet, or you can pay 40 yuan to activate the driving mode and use it as a manual driving car. It is the most popular means of transportation for single tourists, but most people use it for driving.

"I'm exhausted, don't step on it."

"It seems that this money can't be saved..."

The Wild Animal City covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers, and it is terribly large. Li Yiqi has been pedaling on the heavy pedals for about forty minutes, and the pedals are about to break.But today's weather is really good, the sun is unobstructed through the transparent tempered glass cover, and he is so hot that he can only choose to surrender in the end.

He used his mobile phone to scan the code on the steering wheel for 40 yuan.

"drop--"

"Driving mode unlocked."

A soft and sweet electronic female voice sounded.

"Welcome to Wild Animal City. The maximum speed limit of this vehicle is 50 yards. Please drive carefully. Do not deliberately chase rhinos, elephants, dinosaurs, yaks and other dangerous wild protected animals. If the vehicle is overturned or other emergency In case of emergency, please press the red emergency call button, and the rescuers will arrive within 5 minutes."

"Have a nice trip."

A countdown of 59:59 is displayed on the LCD.

40 yuan can only open the driving mode for one hour. If it exceeds, there will be a small reminder next to it, telling passengers to unlock the air conditioner and scan the code for five yuan.

Li Yiqi scanned the air conditioner again with heartache.

All his pocket money was used by him to buy gold. Now the electronic wallet only has three digits. After today, maybe only two digits are left.

Pterosaurs flew by in groups in the low sky, like bats magnified countless times.

Li Yiqi looked up enviously.

It's nice to be able to fly.

He once tried chimeric bird genes to transform into a pair of wings, but failed.It's probably like in a dream that you can completely transform into the opponent, and you can only realize it when you become stronger in the later stage.

Li Yiqi held the steering wheel and leisurely stepped on the gas pedal to blow the cool air from the air conditioner. Although she felt a little distressed about the money, her body felt comfortable.

The iron cage cart was still driving ahead of him.

The little radish heads held the iron cage, looking curiously at this wild animal city as vast as a grassland.Their tour guide asked with a smile: "Kids, do you know when this wild animal city was built?"

Some children rushed to answer.

"I know, it's 2245!"

Tour guide: "This kid is really smart!"

"At the end of the 22nd century, out of humanitarianism, all the zoos and aquariums in our original country were closed down, and replaced by such super-large wild animal cities."

"The animals used to be very pitiful. Tigers and lions were locked in a small space, and some suffered from depression because of this. They would only circle around in circles, which is heartbreaking."

"But now, they have a spacious and comfortable environment like in the wild, look, how much fun they have!"

It happened that a cheetah came out and ran wildly chasing the antelope herd in this endless flat area.

"Wow!!"

The elementary school students let out a cry of fright.

"Don't worry, the carnivores here are fed. Generally, they don't eat antelopes, they just chase them for fun." The guide smiled and comforted them.

Li Yiqi looked thoughtfully at the vigorous figure of the cheetah.

What about chimeric cheetah genes?
After thinking for a moment, he rejected the idea again.

What's the use of running fast and not attacking.

If he wants to be a geek instead of a sprinter, he still has to pick an aggressive gene segment that can save his life in critical moments.

The tour guide at the front continued to tell the little radishheads in a poetic and emotional tone: "Do the children know that at the worst time of the old century, one species went extinct every 45 seconds on the earth."

"what?!"

The children were completely attracted by the cheetah, but now they are drawn back again.

"There was a gray wolf who traveled more than 1 kilometers, but couldn't find a mate, and died of exhaustion on the road."

"what!"

The children exclaimed, unimaginable.

Tour guide: "You are children living in the new century. You can't imagine how bad the living environment of other creatures on the earth used to be."

"Due to the overexploitation of natural resources by humans, the habitats of wild animals are continuously shrinking, and the rate of species extinction is greatly accelerated."

"There have been five mass extinctions on the earth, and a mass extinction of species occurs basically every 6200 million years. The last Cretaceous mass extinction happened exactly 6500 million years ago, and we seem to be in the sixth mass extinction period."

"Some scholars once pessimistically believed that the earth has entered the Anthropocene, and that in the end there will only be humans and human livestock and pets left on the earth."

"But all of this improved in the late 22nd and early 23rd century."

"Due to the [-]% urbanization rate, three-dimensional farmland, and the concept of a super city, we can leave more living space for wild animals."

"We built Wildlife City between the nature reserve and the Super City."

The tour guide smiled and said proudly, "The extinct creatures have also been brought back to the world one by one by means of technology."

"We will break the curse of 6200 million years. On the contrary, what we are experiencing is not a period of mass extinction, but a period of great prosperity of species! Due to the advancement of science and technology, species will have a biological explosion like the Cambrian period, and we will be with countless gorgeous Colorful life lives together on this beautiful earth!"

"Little friends, you are fortunate to live in the most wonderful time!"

The voice fell, and a group of dinosaurs appeared on the horizon.

Huge green-skinned herbivorous dinosaurs walked towards them step by step between the blue sky and the lawn with slow and heavy steps.

"Wow, it's a dinosaur—!"

"Ah, the dinosaurs are coming!!"

The children were all boiling immediately, screaming, jumping and jumping.

Sitting in the yo-yo car, Li Yiqi also looked at these behemoths in shock.He has been to Wild Animal City many times and seen dinosaurs many times, but no matter how many times he has seen it, his heart is full of shock and emotion.

It was a behemoth revived from ancient times.

How can technology be so powerful? It has traveled through time and miraculously brought life from ancient times to the 23rd century. It is incredible like magic.

Bang, bang, bang!

The ground was trembling, and the tempered glass of the yo-yo car was shaking.

Li Yiqi still looked up at the approaching giants, looked at their rough and thick skin, took off her sunglasses and looked at them carefully, her chest was still full of shock and emotion... until one of the dinosaurs lowered its long neck and arched its head Overturned his yo-yo car.

Li Yiqi: "..."

What are you doing? !
