Joy and peace in the last days

Chapter 85

The location of the research institute is at the junction of the second and third districts, and there is still some distance from the most prosperous city hall, but Su Ping'an and his party did not take a car, nor did they use their abilities.

A group of more than a dozen of them (for convenience, the supernatural zombies were replaced by humans) walked slowly to the city hall area.

Along the way, they saw that quite a few dead people began to alienate, turning into the lowest-level zombies without thinking, wandering around on the road and in the buildings.

However, according to their inference, this time is indeed almost the time to start to mutate.

According to what they had discussed in advance, they assigned four people to start from the center of the city, each responsible for a direction, and began to collect these low-level zombies in an orderly manner.

However, there are still a large number of people who have been torn to pieces by Su Ping'an before they died, so they also ordered the low-level zombies to collect the remains of these dead people and deal with them centrally.

Especially when they walked to the city hall area, there was almost no intact corpse there, almost all of them were broken arms and limbs. Huo Wei and the others had collected some before, which was considered a little help to them.

The four assigned people each led some low-level zombies to clean up the city in all directions.

Song Xile looked at those dead people who had mutated into low-level zombies, and couldn't bear it, but after watching for a while, he turned his head resolutely and began to observe the spiritual power vortex that crazily absorbed the spiritual power of the earth like a black hole.

Her own spiritual power is extremely mellow, and now that Xiao Jingtian has advanced to another level, her own spiritual power can be said to be inexhaustible.

So Song Xile kept sending out extremely mellow spiritual power lines, trying to detect the structure of the center of the vortex, because he didn't know what was going on with that thing, Song Xile didn't dare to venture in.

One after another spiritual power disappeared into the vortex, but he couldn't receive the information he wanted at all, but Song Xile was not in a hurry, but became more calm.

It took more than four hours just for her to send out the spiritual power lines continuously. Su Ping'an and the others were a little anxious while waiting, but she still remained motionless.

Only at this time did Su Pingan believe that Lele was really a practitioner in her previous life, otherwise how could she have such good concentration.

After more than four hours, Song Xile let out a "huh".

"Lele, is there a result?"

"How can it be so fast? I have never understood. According to the current technology of human beings, how can such a powerful thing be produced to deal with me in just a few years? There was some doubt about the composition, but unfortunately there was no time to figure it out at the time.

I sent out so many spiritual power lines just now, all of which are directly connected to my consciousness. As long as one of them follows the vortex and enters the location of the core device, I can slowly figure out its situation. "

"Is the spiritual power line connected now? What's going on inside? Is there a way to stop it?"

"Only one line of spiritual power entered the most core position just now, unfortunately it was quickly absorbed, but it still sent a little information to me.

The thing inside seems to have some self-awareness, but according to the shape I saw just now, it seems to be a piece of ore, so it doesn't make sense to become refined so quickly, right?
Moreover, even if it absorbs the spirit energy of the world these few days, it won't be so fast. How can this make those spiritual creatures who have practiced for thousands of years feel embarrassed? "

"Lele, what's going on? I don't quite understand?"

"Don't talk, I want to continue watching." Song Xile interrupted Su Ping'an with a wave of his hand, with a serious expression on his face.

At that moment, Su Ping'an felt that when Lele was the head of a faction in her hometown, she should be like this now!
Thinking about how she usually looks too lazy to have cramps, Su Ping'an can't help but sigh.

In those years, Lele must have paid a lot for her master in order to comply with her master's last wish. That's why she was so sad when she was betrayed later, and she still can't let go of it.

Thinking of this, Su Pingan made up his mind again that he must make Lele happy forever and never let her be troubled by these things again.

After thinking about it, he fixed his eyes on Song Xile again, watching her continue to send out lines of spiritual power.

Until it got dark, He Xi and the others had already turned on the nearby lights to illuminate them, and Song Xile's hands were still shooting faintly visible threads.

In fact, Song Xile's eyes could see without hindrance even at night, and he didn't notice He Xi and the others' actions, and he didn't even notice that it was getting dark at all.

Ever since he said to Su Pingan: "I want to keep watching", Song Xile is like an old monk in meditation, ignoring everything around him, but constantly sending out spiritual power lines to detect the vortex, his face sometimes showing With a thoughtful expression, sometimes frowning.

This extremely monotonous work lasted all night. Su Pingan originally asked He Xi and the others to go back and wait for the news, but the matter of spiritual power was related to the future of the zombie clan. He Xi and the others were all extremely anxious. They refused to go back, and all of them had to wait for news from Song Xile together.

They waited until daylight.

When the sun rose again and hung high in the sky, Song Xile didn't move for a long time after sending out the last line of spiritual power. Su Pingan and the others didn't dare to disturb her when they saw her expression of thinking hard.

Suddenly, Song Xile sighed, shook his head and said to himself: "I really convinced them, what did I do to make them feel that I was so dangerous, that I didn't hesitate to take such a big risk to get this thing made?
It's just that they don't know how to live or die. They dare to use something that they haven't figured out yet. I think it's useless for them to die! "

Although Song Xile is not a sweet-mouthed person, he seldom says such serious things.

He Xi and the others felt a little worried when they heard the words, because when it comes to the research and control of spiritual power on the earth, if Song Xile is the second, no one is qualified to be the first.

Now she is in such a dilemma, is she really going to watch the spiritual power on the earth being sucked up by this vortex?
In that case, not only would it be a catastrophe for the zombies, but it would also be a catastrophe for any creature on the earth. How terrifying would an earth without green plants be!
Can such an earth be suitable for the survival of so many species?
"Lele, is there nothing you can do? It's not urgent. Let's go back and think about countermeasures slowly."

Although Su Pingan knew that this matter was of great importance, on the other hand he felt sorry for Song Xile even more, and didn't want her to be too tired, so he walked up to her and said softly.

"No." Song Xile shook her head angrily, "It's not that there is no way, but I just can't figure out what the two of us did to make them use things that they don't understand. us?
They didn't think about the consequences. Since this thing is so overbearing, what should they do if they can't control it at all in the end? "

"You don't understand, but I've figured it out. They did it for the simple reason that we didn't do anything, but because we didn't do anything. …

But in their view, it is not that we have no intention of power. On the contrary, they will think that we must have a big conspiracy. "

Song Xile froze for a moment, then nodded with some understanding,
"Is this what the saying goes, "If you're covered in hair, you'll treat everyone else as monkeys"? Oh, forget it, at least the trouble isn't getting out of hand, and I can handle it."

Her words "it's done" made the other people present couldn't help cheering, even He Xi, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help showing a smile.

"That's really great, Lele, are you tired? You've been busy all night, take a rest first." Although he was very happy, seeing Song Xile's haggard face after staying up all night, Su Pingan was very happy. said distressed.

"Fortunately, I'm not very tired. Let me finish this thing first and then have a good sleep."

Thinking of the origin of this thing, Song Xile was really depressed.

Su Pingan could hear the depression in her words, and asked considerately: "If you think it's okay, we'll finish the work before we rest, but looking at you, it seems that you have completely figured out the secret of this whirlpool? "

"Yeah, I didn't expect to see something that is very rare in my hometown here!"

"Your hometown? What?"

"It's a stupid stone. Although some people in my hometown regard it as a treasure, it is undoubtedly the most stupid treasure in the world!" Song Xile said with a dumbfounding expression on his face.

"The stupidest treasure? Is this thing alive? Does it have thoughts?" Su Pingan heard the point.

"This is a bit complicated, and it's a long story. I'll go in and meet with it, and try to find a way to minimize the loss. Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go."

Speaking of which, Song Xile leaped into the air with a stride, heading straight for the center of the spiritual vortex, and instantly lost track of her.

Su Ping'an was caught off guard, and it was too late to stop him.

Even though Song Xile had told him not to worry, Su Pingan still had difficulty breathing the moment she disappeared.

I don't know how long I have been waiting, but Su Pingan feels that it has been a long time.

His whole body was firmly nailed there, his eyes unblinkingly looking at the place where Song Xile disappeared in the center of the vortex.

But this time Song Xile didn't keep them waiting for a long time. In less than half an hour, she jumped out from the center of the vortex. She was covered with a translucent substance visible to the naked eye to protect her in the soul. You can be safe and sound in the force vortex.Before she landed, Su Pingan rushed forward and hugged her in his arms. The two of them spun half a circle outward in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.

Song Xile was not embarrassed either, and hugged Su Ping'an's neck and kissed him on the cheek: "I said don't worry, I'm fine." Su Ping'an kissed her back before putting her down.

Song Xile touched the ground with both feet, and said without the slightest hesitation: "A Ding, you can start, just like what we said just now, try not to process and release your spiritual power directly, the more primitive the better."

As soon as she finished speaking, the vortex of spiritual power seemed to expand in an instant, but then shrank back in an instant, but the position of the center of the vortex slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as its speed gradually slowed down, He Xi and the others could clearly A trace of spiritual energy began to escape from that vortex.

"Lele, you said just now that this is something from your hometown, how can there be something from your hometown here?" Seeing Song Xile with a look of color on his face, Su Pingan asked again.

The matter should be resolved, although he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, but when he thought of Song Xile's doing it, Su Pingan felt a sense of pride in his heart.

"I'm also surprised, but the world is so big, there are so many wonders, and this thing is originally a kind of extraterrestrial stone in my hometown. Since it can fall in my hometown, it can also fall here. I just didn't expect to see it here. Come on, I'm a little surprised."

Although Song Xile spoke casually, there was an undisguised sense of helplessness on her face, and her hoarse voice revealed her exhaustion.

"I think it takes a lot of time to release the spiritual power here, why don't you go back and rest first, He Xi and the others are watching here, you are too tired after a busy night."

"I think so too, but I can't. I'm using Tianlingtong to connect with A Ding, that is, the extraterrestrial stone. I'm afraid he will cry when he leaves."

"Crying?" Su Ping'an didn't understand.

"This stone is called the Keystone, and it does come from outer space, and it admits it. And it has been collected and studied by humans for many years, but no one has discovered its function until the end of the world, when the spiritual power can be used. After it was spread, its function was accidentally discovered."

"Is it that it can absorb spiritual energy?"

"The point is not to absorb, but to refine spiritual power into high-level spirit beads, so I said that it is also regarded as a treasure in my hometown, that is, it can absorb and refine spirit beads by itself without any assistance for practitioners to absorb use."

"You mean to say that it absorbed so much spirit energy just to refine the spirit beads?"

"Keystone just has this ability, but there is another reason for absorbing spiritual power so crazily this time. Don't worry, I can't leave either, I have to stay with it until the vortex disappears, so I have a lot of time Make it clear to you guys."

"You can rest if you don't leave. How about I hold you and you sleep for a while?"

"It's okay~ Once in a while I'm fine. Speaking of keystones, there are not many in my hometown, but indeed every practitioner wants to have one, not only because it can absorb spiritual power to refine spirit beads, More because of its character.

Strange, stones also have character.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the Keystone is a stone. It has its own thoughts and consciousness. In my hometown, it is generally regarded as a spiritual object, which can be cultivated and advanced by itself.

But the keystone can't, no matter how much spiritual power it absorbs, except for refining into spirit beads, only part of it will escape during the refining process, so it is the most ideal item for collecting spiritual power.

Of course, it is not a spirit stone either. The spirit stone itself has spiritual power and can help in cultivation, but the keystone itself has no spiritual power. More importantly, the spirit stone is a dead thing and has no consciousness. A kind of man-made spirit stone.

Therefore, Keystone is still quite popular in my hometown, if there is no such accident! "

"Accident? It used to absorb spiritual power so crazily in your hometown?" Su Ping'an asked with an idea.

"That's right~ that's almost the case, but it's really no wonder. I don't know where the Keystone came from, and I don't produce it in my hometown. The few pieces are all extraterrestrial stones, just like this one, but it is naturally able to absorb spiritual power. , but it usually does not take the initiative to absorb it unless someone gives it this instruction.

At that time in my hometown, someone put a keystone in the most famous fairy mountain to absorb spiritual power, intending to refine some more spiritual beads and take them away, but he was hunted down by his enemies, wounded and left, and he probably died later. In short, he never came back to the tripod stone that was originally placed at the entrance of the cultivation cave. As a result, ten days later, the fairy mountain was sucked out and turned into a barren mountain.

After several investigations by the people of the alliance, it took several months to determine the reason, and it was actually because of that keystone.

And the vortex here is because there are some other designs on the outside of the Keystone that disrupt its performance, otherwise this vortex would not be formed at all, no matter how much spiritual power it absorbs, the outside is just an ordinary stone.

In that case, we may not be able to discover the secret of the earth's withering at all.

Even after that accident, the Alliance has prohibited individuals from owning and using the Keystone. I have never seen it before, and today is the first time. "

"But Lele, didn't you just say that Keystone is conscious, so why doesn't it stop absorbing spiritual power by itself?"

"It's very simple. It needs someone to tell it to absorb or stop absorbing spiritual power. In my hometown, because everyone is a practitioner, you can communicate with it directly with spiritual knowledge.

But the people who attacked our big alliance this time should have issued instructions to it with a special wave band, so it only received instructions to absorb spiritual power, but not to stop, so it will keep going Suck it down until there is no spiritual power to absorb. "

Speaking of this, Song Xile paused, "Besides, Keystone is very sensitive. Once the person who issued an order to it doesn't contact it for a while, it will feel that it has been abandoned, and it will do everything it can to do its best. According to the requirements of the order, I hope that I can regain the favor of others...

When I saw it just now, it was crying loudly while absorbing its spiritual power. It didn't stop crying until I communicated with it with my spiritual sense.

So I can't leave now, and I can't take a break, because I will contact it after a while, and promise that I will never abandon it, so that its work will be done better~~
To put it simply, if we use people as a metaphor, Keystone is a person who is a little short-sighted, but very capable...or a little stupid. "
