Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 143

Ji Yao asked Fu Zhong to go to the other side to pour him a cup of hot water, and then looked at the occasional flashes of fire and stars and snow trails in the dark screen, he saw that Jiang Qu's face was completely submerged in the smoke, showing a blurred Outline.

For two or three seconds, neither party spoke. Ji Yao flipped the things in his hand casually, and sneered: "Thank you sir for reminding me."

After speaking, he got up from the wheelchair directly, and left the seat as usual.His figure is impartial, coming and going like the wind, and he can't see any mistakes.Fu Zhong wanted to step forward to remind him, but after Ji Yao and him looked at each other, he opened the door and walked out of the room alone.

Fu Zhong suddenly understood what Ji Yao meant, and he could see many things in Ji Yao's eyes.Holding the water glass, Fu Zhong went to the computer and bid farewell to He Luan and Jiang Qu calmly, then turned off the computer, with a decent smile on his face.

After disconnecting, he ran out the door, put the water glass aside, and supported Ji Yao who was leaning against the wall.He found a chair for Ji Yao to sit down, but was rejected. Ji Yao said he wanted to walk, but he was tired after sitting for a long time and couldn't bear it.

"Is your waist still hurting?" Fu Zhong gave him a water glass and took away a stack of documents in his hand, "Why did you suddenly stand up and walk out just now? Doctor Zhu found out and he wanted to beat me to death."

Ji Yao walked away along a luminous warning strip on the wall, with his hands on his waist, occasionally stopping to rest.He went outside, wanting to blow the wind: "I don't know what the origin of that Zhandui Jiangqu is, so I can't show my weakness in front of him."

The wind rushed into the cabin, rolled up the paper in Fu Zhong's hand, and with the breath of oxidized shells, he wandered for a while and escaped boringly to a wider and more interesting world.Ji Yao tried his best to support his waist and stand up straight. He made himself look mighty and unyielding.

"I can't let others see that I can only sit in a wheelchair." Ji Yao said, "I have to stay strong in front of strangers. He actually said that someone in my family would die. If it wasn't for a screen, I would have Just put a gun to his forehead."

"What does he mean? Since he can say such a thing, there must be a certain reason. What does he want to do? If he just wants to scare you, what is the reason for him to do it? We have to think about it."

Ji Yao rolled up his trouser legs and stepped on the beach, he liked the empty and soft touch.After turning around Fu Zhong a few times, stepping on a circle of footprints, he said: "He said that my father's name is Ji Songlin, which is true; he said that my father has a bone, which is also true; he said It is also true to say that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. I once told you that when I was still in the Northeast more than ten years ago, a busker came to my house, and that person gave a bone to my father."

"I remember, Chief, you told me about this." Fu Zhong took his hand and slowly spun around with his steps to prevent him from falling. "Be careful and pay attention to your feet. That thing is now Where is it?"

"I don't know where it is. I never saw it later, and I don't care. This matter has nothing to do with me. Jiang Qu said, asking me to return that thing, isn't he just embarrassing me? He Who should I give it back to? Funny."

"Whoever does the work will finish it. Don't leave the work of the previous generation to the younger generation. Didn't Jiangqu give the bone to your father? Let him return it himself."

Ji Yao plucked Fu Zhong's hair, and said with a smile, "You're thinking of going with me."

"It's supposed to be like this. If you take care of all the big and small things, and do all the new and old things by yourself, then it's okay. This is how people are exhausted." Fu Zhong clasped his fingers, and their shadows seemed to be dancing, "We They have their own lives and don’t care about others.”

The moon rose. It was faint at first, a bright spot hidden behind the clouds, and then it became bigger, as if it was rushing towards the earth.Ji Yao took Fu Zhong's hand to the edge of the sea, stepping on the cold waves.

He brushed his hair against the wind, pushing it all back, exposing his forehead.Fu Zhong noticed that there was a very faint scar on his jaw, which was left after the skin grafting operation, and Ji Yao still had many such scars on his body.

After a while, Ji Yao suddenly tapped Fu Zhong's shoulder, glanced behind him quietly, and asked him, "Can I lean on your shoulder?"

"You can, as long as you want, you can do it anytime." Fu Zhong said, his side face was illuminated by the first ray of light in the night.

Ji Yao stood side by side with him, and they looked at the restless ocean together, letting the sea water overflow their ankles, slowly soothing the restlessness and restlessness of the day.Ji Yao tilted her head and leaned on Fu Zhong's shoulder. The angle was just right, and even the shadows fit together.

Fu Zhong listened to his steady and stable breathing, and he knew that this was Ji Yao's rare moment of true peace.Fu Zhong suddenly thought of the past many years for no reason. When he was younger than now, he was restless because he liked someone, and he seemed to have no peace for a day.

"Chief, what are you thinking?" Fu Zhong asked, and he asked like a gust of wind blowing his ears and temples, as if the Milky Way was splitting in the sky.

Ji Yao stretched his long eyebrows, which benefited from his mother's lineage.It took him a while to put a faint smile on his lips, and said: "I'm thinking about my mother and my relatives. I can't remember who has gone or hasn't gone. It seems that all these years, I survived alone, I have never been home, and I don’t know where home is. It seems to be there, but I can’t find it.”

The stars shine, and the stars that were billions of years ago burned out after many years, but the dust left behind recombines into new stars, and the cycle repeats.The elementary particles in the universe will not be annihilated, and everything can be eternal in the microscopic range.

Fu Zhong fingered the skin on the back of Mosuo Jiyao's hand. He felt the undulating blood vessels and bones. Jiyao's hand was thin and had distinct joints.Fu Zhong lowered his head and smelled the faint fragrance in Ji Yao's hair, rubbed it lightly, and then kissed the top of his hair.

"I am also homesick. Everyone here is homesick. Those executives, doctors, geologists, students, they are all homesick."

"I want to go back early, I want to see my mother, even if she doesn't want to see me, it doesn't matter. I don't know where my father is, maybe I really can't find him, he only lived in the years before I was 17 years old , and then disappeared.”

They gossiped about the water and the sky, and waited until the weather got cooler before returning to the cabin. There was a thin fog on the sea, and Fu Zhong ordered people to turn on the reconnaissance and weapon systems to prepare for a sudden attack.The changing of the guard had just come down, and the white searchlight on the central vertical transmitter was on.

Zhu Min just woke up from his sleep. He had a dream all afternoon. He didn't know why he was so tired today, and he didn't wake up after sleeping.Zhu Min's sleep quality is usually poor, and he often suffers from insomnia after waking up in the middle of the night, so he has to drink tea to recuperate.

It was completely dark when he woke up, and the silvery moonlight was shining outside the dark window. He looked at the electronic clock on the wall and counted the hours he had slept. He had a terrible headache.He lifted the blanket and sat up, and poured himself a few pills.

"Where is the commander? Where is it?" Zhu Min put on a white coat and asked the patrolling people, while yawning a lot.

The executive pointed to the other side and replied: "In cabin 3, in the laboratory of the geologist."

Zhu Min nodded and told the patrol to leave.He fastened his belt, turned around and went in to search for his messy desktop, tidied up a few pieces of paper, poured hot water into the enamel cup, and threw a few jujubes and bodhi seeds into it.

Geng Shuming was taking a box out of the liquid nitrogen. His assistant opened the box for him and lifted out a glass jar.It was only after thawing that I could see the contents of the glass jar. It was the corpse of a reptile collected by Professor Geng, which was frozen and used as a specimen.

Wearing a mask and goggles, the professor held a bathymetric scale in his hand, sliding the scale in and out: "This is a specimen I kept, but I didn't hand it over to the coordinate machine, although I know the biological experts are on the coordinate machine. .”

"I heard people say that this thing is called a 'climbing dragon', and the same kind of creature also appeared in Tibet."

"Is this the person you're talking about yourself?"

"of course not."

"This kind of creature also appeared in Tibet? What do you mean? Is it a fossil? That's normal."

"No, it's alive, it can move, it can kill."

"impossible."

"Then look at this first."

Ji Yao asked Fu Zhong to transfer the information to Geng Shuming. Professor Geng's face turned ugly. After reading it, he nodded and raised his eyebrows: "Is there any strange thing that I haven't experienced? Anyway, in this ghost place , anything can happen. Get used to it."

Pale lights were on in the experiment cabin, and the green curtains reflected gleaming green light. Several people were wearing lab coats, including the commander.Ji Yao leaned over to look at the frozen corpse in the glass jar, and saw its head that resembled a human face.

"Why didn't you send this over?" Ji Yao asked, his eyes resting on the corpse, "Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?"

"The order from above told us to hand over all the data, but I don't think this corpse is considered data. In addition, we got a lot of this stuff, and handed in the others. It doesn't matter if you keep one for your own collection, right? "

Ji Yao smiled. He carefully studied the structure of the corpse and its scales, and said, "You have helped us a lot, Professor."

Geng Shuming snapped the ruler back, threw it aside, and then picked up a glass rod and pushed it against the dragon's abdomen: "I know that the higher-ups are acting as a demon. If you also think that I violated the regulations, then you now Instead of standing here, I was sent back to my country."

"We have become a group now, right?" Ji Yao laughed, "With Mr. Professor joining, I think the mission will go much smoother."

"You have your tasks, and my students and I have our ideals. Only fools would choose to go their separate ways and find their own mothers." Geng Shuming propped himself on the edge of the table, hitting the table with a glass stick .

Zhu Min carried the bag into the experimental cabin, and the white coat on his body turned the cabin even paler, almost swallowed by the light.

"Doctor Zhu came just in time. Let's take a look. What is this?" Ji Yao waved to Zhu Min and stepped aside. The little assistant went to help Zhu Min take away the bag in his hand and brought him protective clothing.

"Fart, I'm not a veterinarian, why did you tell me to look at this thing?" Zhu Min put on the goggles to look carefully at the long corpse of the creature in the glass jar, and curled his lips, "It's disgusting, why did it grow so long? face."

"Has Dr. Zhu seen this kind of creature before?" Fu Zhong asked, and he moved a chair under Zhu Min's buttocks.

Zhu Min sat down with his legs spread apart, leaning on his knees to look at the crowd, and said that he had never seen such a strange and frighteningly ugly creature.After he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Ji Yao: "Is your waist healed? You're standing here. I told you to keep calm for me. You must listen."

"I'm almost healed, and the pain is gone. I'm not used to sitting in a wheelchair all the time. I'm too tired. I have to stand up and move around, Big Pig. If I continue to sit, I'm afraid I'll be paralyzed."

"I believe your evil, so you can do whatever you say. Also, have you had a physical examination?"

"Did it."

"Damn it, I'm sleeping this afternoon, who did you ask to do it?"

"Fu Zhong knows how to operate, I learned from you." Ji Yao pointed, turned around and continued to do her own work, "The data is all entered, you can look at the system yourself. I know some things better than you. You slept all afternoon. If you feel that you have neglected your duties, I will give you a holiday."

Zhu Min couldn't speak, and wanted to find something to say, his neck was flushed with anxiety, and he calmed down after drinking the water soaked in jujube.He nodded, stepped on his heels, propped his knees and said, "Okay, what else can I say? I have nothing to say."

"Are you trying to stir up internal strife here to create chaos and break us apart?" Geng Shuming knocked on the glass rod to speak, he always used this sentence to end all quarrels, tried and tested.

Ji Yao looked up at Geng Shuming, and said, "Professor Geng, you seem to keep saying this on your lips."

"It's specially used to deal with your bickering." The professor took off the goggles and put on another pair of glasses—Professor Geng has a lot of glasses. "If you don't do business, you will know how to talk."

Ji Yao put on gloves, cut off a small piece of scale with a blade, glanced at Professor Geng, and said, "The journey is boring. If you don't talk about it, it will look too dull. If things go on like this, it will lead to mental problems."

Geng Shuming laughed, but he didn't seem to be smiling. He wiped off the chemicals on his hands with a towel next to him, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Min's face, and said with his back propped up, "So I'm talking to you guys too. Are you kidding? Huh?"

Everyone understood what the professor meant, and they all started laughing. It seemed that it had been a long time since they heard such laughter, and the tide outside was still restless for a moment.

"This is Doctor Zhu?"

"Yes, professor, my surname is Zhu, Zhu Min, a doctor at the Medical Center of the Chengdu Branch of the Time Bureau."

"Geng Shuming, academician of the Academy of Earth Sciences."

They shook hands and saluted, introduced themselves briefly, and regarded them as meeting new friends.Zhu Min quickly put Ji Yao's matter behind him, and turned to provoke Professor Geng's students. The students were all shy and smiling young people, who waved at Zhu Min blankly, and then laughed in a low voice embarrassedly. Then he turned and went to collect the soil and rock samples in the box.

"The biological experts on the coordinate system have sent relevant information. Look, friends," Fu Zhong zoomed in on the suspended screen, showing an anatomical picture on it. Horns. DNA match not found."

"I know that I personally experienced the day when I was attacked by a giant snake. It will be a battle I will never forget. Chief Fu and Commander, you are very brave." Professor Geng said, pointing to the corpse in the glass jar, "Is this one too?"

Fu Zhong clicked on a skeleton diagram, walked around to Ji Yao, carefully turned the body over, checked the head of the dragon, and said, "It doesn't look like it, these should be two different creatures, they may both belong to ......reptiles?"

"Thicker scales, breathing with lungs, laying eggs on land, these are the characteristics of reptiles. Does it breathe with lungs? Does it lay eggs on land?"

"I'm not sure, Professor, this needs to be dissected, but who here can do it? Dr. Zhu, I heard that you have undergone surgery, can you?"

"This is not human, what do you tell me to do? I said you should call the group of biological experts on the coordinate instrument. They stay in a good place every day, and they don't know the suffering of us people."

"Not now, Big Pig, it's too late, it's dangerous. You're part of our team now, you should take responsibility. Get your scalpel out."

"When the fuck did I become part of your team again?"

"Just now you shook hands with Professor Geng, and Professor Geng belongs to us, which means you have joined us too. Well, don't talk nonsense, take out the scalpel, and hurry up."

"What do you want to know if it's a reptile? Isn't the question where it came from?"

"Seriously, think about it, this is the earth 46 billion years ago. It is impossible for the level of evolution to catch up with our time, so this is the ancestor of reptiles. They may not need to lay eggs on land, nor do they need lungs Breathe, who knows?"

The assistant spoke from the side: "Reptiles living in cold regions are oviparous, and they are born as shaped fetuses. Because the eggs are much warmer inside the body than outside."

"Give way a little bit." Zhu Min sat down in front of the corpse with the box in his hand, poked the head of the corpse with his fingers, "I didn't expect that I could be a veterinarian again, is there anything else I don't know? Listen, Santu, I'm kind enough to help you this time."

He took out the instruments to sterilize, pressed his fingers on the abdomen of the dragon, selected a suitable place for the knife, and marked it with a pen.He turned his head to remind the people around him to stay away and not block the light.

Professor Geng took his students to the other side to do work within the scope of the research. Fu Zhong held the computer and exchanged with Ji Yao about the time bureau, and talked about Fu Yangxia.

Concentrating on moving the scalpel in his hand, Zhu Min carefully moved his wrist and cut open his chest.Just as the blade was lifted, he noticed that the abdomen of the already frozen corpse moved a little.

Suddenly a burst of blood rushed into his head, Zhu Min rubbed his forehead, thinking that he was too focused and caused his eyes to be dazzled, or he hadn't woken up from a long sleep in the afternoon.Seeing that there was no movement in the abdomen again, he frowned and continued to dissect.

What images flashed in his mind, the scene of the R-rated movie with blood flying all the time played in his mind, Zhu Min felt that he must be bewitched.Before he started to move the third knife, there was movement again in the abdomen of the corpse, as if something was struggling to come out.

Zhu Min decisively dropped the knife in his hand and made a loud noise. Everyone thought he was done, but Fu Zhong pulled out the gun on his arm and pointed it at the corpse lying in the glass jar.

"what happened?"

"It has something in its belly, it's alive, it's coming out."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's already dead. It's been frozen in liquid nitrogen for so many days, and everything in its stomach is already dead."

"What is that?!" Professor Geng suddenly made a sound, "What crawled out?!"

The originally dead and stiff corpse was lying on its back, with its white abdomen facing upwards, and there were two cracks, one was where Zhu Min prepared to observe the lungs after surgery, the other was torn open from the inside out, and there was a living The creature was struggling to crawl out of the crack, covered in mucus.

"Stand back." Fu Zhong ordered everyone, and he asked the two assistants to pay attention to finding something to hide if they really work later.

Ji Yao didn't have a gun on him, so he pulled out the jackknife from his sleeve, flicked his wrist to reveal the blade, and a bright light reflected onto the wall.No one in the cabin spoke anymore, and Professor Geng also picked up the pickaxe for breaking stones.

The living thing finally came out of the crack, and it looked quite labored.It was a newborn reptilian, the same appearance as its mother, covered with scales, with a narrow and treacherous human face, lying on the mother's corpse, showing a creepy smile.

"It turned out to be a pregnant reptile. It didn't freeze its baby to death after being frozen for so long. It seems that the inside is indeed warmer than the outside world." Ji Yao said, "It can be speculated that it may live in a cold area, or live in water. , because the water will damage the egg, so it can only be born viviparously. And its birth method is to tear apart the mother’s body and crawl out? I’m afraid it’s a bit cruel.”

"They appeared in the mountains to attack our planes. The climate in the mountains is warm, not like a cold area. So they are likely to live in water, at least there must be a lot of humidity."

"Don't forget that it was raining heavily when they attacked the plane, and the humidity was enough for them to survive." Ji Yao said, and it looked outside, "There is still a sea here, maybe they live in the sea."

Fu Zhong clenched the handle of the gun, took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Then we are really unlucky and have fallen into their lair. Then there is a reason for this kind of creature to appear in Tibet, because the plateau is cold. So they land and water Amphibious?"

As soon as the words fell, the juvenile reptile opened its mouth, which was not even fully developed, and its upper and lower jaws were connected together, like melting flesh and blood.It let out a sharp scream, the sound was like the cry of a human baby, and it suddenly spread in the cabin, making people feel chills behind.

Its green eyes stared in the direction of Fu Zhong, and it showed a fierce expression towards the human in front of it. Its claws kept scratching its mother's torn abdomen, and its nails were covered with strips of biological tissue.

Fu Zhong's gun was stuffed with anesthesia bullets, he couldn't kill this thing, he had to keep it alive for future research.Taking another step forward, suddenly a hand appeared on the glass jar, followed by a bang, the jar was covered, and the juvenile reptile was trapped in it.

Professor Geng's tall assistant appeared behind the experimental table at some point, with his hand on the glass jar, his eyes watching the ugly creature rushing in the flesh and blood, panting heavily with a pale face.

"I...I caught it." The assistant said, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, "Keep it alive."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Professor Geng's hand holding the pick was finally rested.Ji Yao put down the pocket knife and said, "Lock it up and freeze it forcibly. I have to call Yang Qihua and Xiao Zhuoming, they have to do some work."
